[Q] 3.0 lockscreen/Icons - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help if anyone (who knows about developing) is willing to help me. I have a Sense 3.0 lockscreen and Rosie and in the lockscreen I need help to get the dock of the lockscreen higher cause mine compared to the actual sensation lockscreen is lower as well as the icons on the lockscreen. Pics are shown comparing mine to actual sensation. What I need help fixing in the Rosie is the Icons are to low and almost touch the dock and would like them higher like the actual sensation. I also have pics comparing the 2. I have the files here as a zip if your willing to help cause I would do it myself but im no dev and I tried but failed many times. I would really appreciate it if u can help.

IIRC that"s the best the devs could do with porting their higher resolution to our lower resolution.

What do u mean by IIRC

He meant
If I Remember Correctly
And he did but I hope you work it out.
Personally I am fine with where the icons are on Rosie but would like to move the ring up a little so the icons would have to move up also.

Well nyterage moved the dock up but it turns out that what we see on our current lockscreen dock is the whole image when putting the dock higher there is nothing below the dock which is very weird the lockscreen ring is movable though its a WIP

What files do u have to edit for the lockscreen cause i got an idea. edit I used lcd dencity changer and it made the dock as high as wanted but now the rest of the Rom is lower resolution. If we can just get the lcd density changer to work just on lockscreen.

"New" Manila landscape backgrounds (Dutty Xtreme etc)

I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!
Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!
Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?
failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?
hi,
i hope maxycy will give us instructions how to manage it by ourselves!!!
i hope mun_rus will find out a good solution in order to have our own background in all tabs too.
ciao

Hi, i've made a copy of the wallpaper... It should resemble the original one

Well, I did manage to do that somehow..
Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..
Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!
Have a look at mine
Nice, How did you do that
here you have the new manila background took form the new manila 3.0
can u put some screen shot
can u put some screen shot for this cab

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.
Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?
edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?
Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!
I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.
This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3
Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.

As for the clock & buttom bar;
Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM
Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons
Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider

Exactly !
& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out
Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..
There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........

Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...
If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!
Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!
The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.
Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

[Q] DPI DHD

Ey!!
Maybe a silly question, but does somebody know how to change dpi on DHD?
I mean, my screen can handle 5 ''icons horizontally'' ,
how can I change the dpi to get for example 10 ''icons horizontally''.
Thanks in advance.
There's a thread here abouts for changing the DPI (although might only be if you have Cyanogen ROM) but the search I'm sure you'll do will bring it up.
Home Replacement apps like LauncherPro or ADWLauncher allow you to set number of icons but can be a bit hit or miss.
Thanks for your reply,
i got launcher pro, i made it 5icons horizontally en 4icons vertically.
if you make it more, the icons gets ugly, they dont fit normal, and some problems...
what it does, it makes the icons smaller but doesnt change the screens dpi i think.
i got stock rom.
The ugly icon issue is why I didn't bother changing it.
With a stock ROM, unless it's rooted I doubt you'll be able to change the DPI. I do recall someone mention an App but I memory serving it was for the Galaxy and tests failed on the DHD.

you can either edit the build.prop in /system or buy lcd density changer from the market ......

Both methods require root access (A rooted ROM).
true story, which makes mines NOT ROOTED xD
so i have to root it first..? no other solutions?
No you can't change your dpi without root.

[Q] customisation apps (launchers, noled,lockscreen etc) can we see some video ?

after scouring youtube and finding nothing Im going to rely on XDA , anyone care to show off with video of their customisation, the S2 has no notification light, not a great launcher and a pretty janky looking lockscreen - otherwise seems a beast of a phone, would anyone care to show off? I would love to know if the very few shortcomings of the device software (and the led deficiency) can be fixed easily with third party software
pretty please?

sounds good but coming from a htc hero I love being able to glance at notification light when I enter my office again and know without waking the phone if i got anything new...
of course, you could show off the combo via some juicy 24fps streaming goodness ... ?

wow , that looks slick! I don't know the default lcd density for S2 but I assume that 202 was to fit more on screen? smaller fonts etc?
nice one!

Default density is 240, 202 is indeed smaller fonts and icons so you can fit more!
202 Seems a bit strange, It might look better at 200. By my calcualations the effective pixel numbers around there work out

How to change HDPI mClock themes to WVGA for our phones?????????

Im assuming that we would just have to change the size of the images and then just change the font sizes to fit the images. But has anyone played with the HDPI themes to get them to work on our phones and know the perfect size to make them?
They have some pretty good looking clocks but the images are just too big for our phones resolution and it cuts off corners.
Edit: Well I guess if I go with 4x2 widget it works out right. I was trying 3x2 and 2x2 before. I would still like to be able to choose from all different size widgets and not be locked in to 4x2 but I guess it will do for now, until someone comes through with the settings to make them compatible at our resolution.

Not really sure what it is that you're ultimately looking to do, but if you have a 3x2 widget already, you can resize it to 4x2 using either TW launcher and Launcher Pro, as well as others out there...
I guess that coulda been a little confusing. Basically the only way to see the whole clock is to make the widget 4 wide. The only problem with that is that it looks a little small. Like it only takes half the space that it should as a 4x2.
I'm moreso just trying to bring the clock to the max size it can be at each widget size. I'm at my girls for the night so maybe when I get home 2morrow ill try to make the widget show a little bigger to make myself happy. Just thought I'd ask incase anyone else found the mClock widgets to be sorta small

Did you fix the size problem..?? I want to make them bigger too, even 4x2 still kind of small.

No I havnt had a chance to work on it yet. I will prolly have a little time to try some things this weekend. But Ive just used a different clock for the time being.

Height Of Status Bar

This question could probably be answered by someone who makes CM12/12.1 themes....
I'm making custom wallpapers with drop-shadows and I want to slice the top of the wallpaper, create an overlay and add a drop-shadow so it has a 3D-ish look when it sits under the WiFi icon, clock and notifications at the top of the screen...I just can't seem to get the right height though.
Would someone know the exact height?

Extract SystemUI then look in res/values/dimens. The status bar height is there but it's in decimal value so it's not gonna be help much and it will not really give you much indication as to the exact res that your wallpaper needs to be. The wallpapers scale to fit so you will have to experiment untill you get it how you want it. That's all i can offer on this... I don't quite understand exactly what you're doing but i do have a lot of photoshop experience and that's what i use.
