I have the stock widget for the clock, but I would LOVE to have it fully transparent. I know these are in themes, but I am on completely stock at the moment.
If someone could please post the apk file I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

is the stock DIGITAL CLOCK .apk with the background set to clear. i didnt check the rom you linked to but i think this may be what you wanted.
so to clarify.
this is the stock DigitalClock.apk with the background set to transparent instead of the semi transparent grey.
to install
::::
replace DigitalClock.apk in system/app
with this .apk
i would probably rename orig DigitalClock.apk in system/app to something like DigitalClock.apk.old or DigitalClock.apk.bak
this will require root and access to the /system/app folder in write mode.
several programs can achieve this i personally used ES FILE EXPLORER (free market)
hope this helps.
--mike (oh yea by .... ME lol. just edited res/drawable/bg.png no other changes)
EDIT
using es file explorer to accomplish this...
SETTINGS>>>
(1) set HOME DIRECTORY to /
instead of /sdcard/
(2) check both ROOT EXPLORER and MOUNT FILE SYSTEM check boxes
then just copy and paste as normal
after copy .. may require a reboot and re-adding the clock widget to whatever screen you wish.
**REQUIRES ROOT to install**

Awesome dude it looks tight as hell. Thanks everyone! We should start a thread doing all of the TouchWiz Widgets like this. Like the calendar, accuweather, etc.
I saw that other post that had all of the different ones, but we should do it for the stock themers here for them to build off of.

first mod i did when i rooted. glad you got it though. would have posted it too.
I have this in my proton and black dusk themes AND I've themed the weather to clear too. All you have to do is extract the apks and use the method above to put them on your phone....
Can someone upload this clock again, please?
All Links on Multiupload are down.

You probably wont be able to add any, you can change the current ones by editing the apk, signing it then installing it. Once you open up the apk (with 7zip, winrar etc.) look inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Thats probably where the emoticons are kept.
I can help if you need.

Adding icons to whatsapp
Hey Guys has anyone tried adding new icons into the default whatsapp?
Or do the modded versions allow adding additional GIF'S to be added to the instant messenger?
Thanks
yes i have tried it, but it's useless since the recipient of the emoticon should have the "moded" version too, so that he could see the emoticon
Just wanted to add that Ive noticed the Iphone has new icons and I can view them on my phone which dont have those icons :/

I used 'Formatter' to rename (whatsapp) .apk file into .zip did required changes (replaced one .png smiley file) & again renamed it into .apk
But then, I'm not able to install it (even after uninstalling previous version). An error saying 'Application not installed' shows.
How can I modify .apk files (in terms of replacing only the smiley image files) & repack it into proper .apk file so that I'll be able to install it without any error?
Please help me..
thanks

Check zipsigner from the play store

Good idea, but not practical
In order to install an apk, it must be properly signed and with a password that only the developers know. If you own the app though, you will still need to to decompile and recreate the apk structure by turning the directories of the zip into an android structure, since the compiling will change pretty much everything.
Worst part of it all, if you somehow manage to change and install the app, only you will be able to see it since only the apk installed on your phone has those custom emoticons.

how do I put emoticons on viber /whatsapp for sell

HOW TO CHANGE .APK ICON USING APK MANAGER.
Many people have asked how to change icons of apps in app drawer,once it was my question too,and I searched every corner of xda to find a thread explaining me that but it was of no avail even though i FOUND one but it didn't work on my sgs2.Therefore,I decided to help everybody who is having the same problem including me.So I brought you the easiest 'n simplest way to change the icons,it's lenghty as many would call it but once you get the hang of it,you'll be changing the icons of 'n on.
JUST FOLLOW THE STEP BY STEP GUIDE;
1. Copy Settings.apk in the folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding"
2. Start the "Script.bat"
3. Choose point 22 "Set current Project"
4. Choose your app you want to extract
5. Choose point 1 "Extract apk"
6. Go to the folder called "Projects" 7. Choose your app you just have extracted
8. Choose the folder called "res"
9. Look in the folders where the icon is.
10. Change the icon but be sure it have the same size ("mdpi: 48x48" hdpi: 72x72" xdpi: 96x96")
11. Go back to script windows or start script.bat again
12. Choose point 22 "Set current Project" again
13. Choose point 3 "Zip apk"
14. Choose point 12 "sign apk"
15. Go back to the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" now should have a apk here that is called signed"NameOfYourApp"
16. Copy it to your Sd card and install it on your device.

Glad you found it helpful !
7zip
Thanks a lot for this thread very usefull.
We can change the icons with 7-zip when we install a mod like Jkay.
1. extraxt your apk from your mod with 7zip
2. Open the apk with 7zip
3. Go into res/mipmap-hdpi for the Sgs2
4. Insert your new icon to replace the older
5.Replace the old apk
Apk manager is also very interesting to decompile the apk. This allow to change the code to make big modifications like the Domination mod.
PS: Sorry for my bad english language
Using the method in the OP you could very easily open up a can of worms if it contains badly patched 9's.
I'd personally use the universal theme template, a lot quicker, easier and safer compared to apkmanager, and it creates a backup.
I tried your method but it does not work on my sgs2 XWLPF deodex with last syiah. I cannot install the setting apk created on my phone.
I agree, although this thread is very helpful, I recommend if you're not changing any xml code or .9's... don't decompile just use UFT...
I know it's hard for some people and find decompiling and compiling complicated,so they choose 7-zip.. It's faster and easier I agree but I made this tutorial to let people learn how to use apk manager too.

Yes but the title suggests to "change the apk icon" in which you do not need to decompile the APK to do so... maybe you should rename the title?
anyway, thumbs up!
why before using apk manager my apk is 5969 kb and after change one file ( from 1,50kb to 1,86 kb ) it is 3124 kb ? I'm changing status_bar_latest_event_content.xml in framework-res.apk
Thanks a lot..

but when i reboot the phone app's icon turn older.
what is the solution?
Im trying to change my clock color, either in status_bar.xml or styles.xml and neither way is working. After I push SystemUI,apk, I reboot the phone and it says systemui.apk has stopped working. I read I don't need to resign the apks, so Im not sure what else to do? Also, what compression level should I be using?
Hi, I tried using APK manager to change icons, and it works, but when I go to install on my android device, it says it didn't install.

Do you know what's GAPPS? Google Apps...
Market store app,yes?
I don't know how to add apps to GAPPS.. but I know how to update some GAPPS to the system/app..
example: like PlayStore
- PlayStore upgrades automatically
- the old version is in your system/app.. but the newer is in data/app
- so then just find the app in data/app, rename to Phonesky.apk (renaming is necessary if the old app in the system/app has that name) (PlayStore has that file name)
- move & replace it to system/app..
use RootExplorer..
great day

Hello,Good day mate.
I still can't understand the mention.Sorry bro,cuz i'd still new and wanting to learn with this kinda system.Love graphics much so the idea comes when i see the Play Store that usually people do use it for daily apps search and downloads and from there i got an idea that i want to mod it,like it background,colors and so on.What do i need to modifying the play store app?is there any procedure that i have to follow?
ooh.. MOD it like give colors etc.. hahaha
you need to edit the resource files or xml file inside the apk.. open the apk with winrar.. extract.. you'll see many folders and files.. maybe you can repack it to apk again after editing.. rar it or zip it, use the "Store" level of compression, change the extension to apk..
I KNOW HOW TO SEE THOSE FILES.. COPY FROM IT, ETC..
BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE TEXT INSIDE THE XML.. hahaha
study on Google mate..
Do i need any PC program to do this?
winrar, notepad or wordpad (for .xml) (preinstalled in Windows) or gedit/text editor in linux
I think just that
Does coding required for this?
coding? like html or "%2F" is same with "<sth. I forgot>"
I dunno hehe
I see..ok bro,will try it soon and thank you for your time.
You should contact ibanez ...he knows well about it...here is his work about play store....

Hello again! I would like to share another mod that will remove the annoying facebook pictures when you open your gallery.
By default whenever you are logged in to facebook the HTC Gallery app would download all the profile pictures of your friends and show it in the main window of your gallery thus cluttering the main window of your gallery with pictures that you don't even own. What this mod will do is disable the gallery app from pulling the pictures and instead you will be shown only the default rectangular social thumbnail.
Now why didn't I remove it totally?
The thumbnail still has a purpose. Instead of the gallery directly showing up the facebook images right when you open the gallery app with this mod it is only shown when you click open the rectangular social thumbnail.
Sorry can't post screenshots as this would be breaking the privacy of my friends that will be shown if ever I post screenshots. Just test and give feedback :good:
And for those who want to include this in their custom ROMs. Feel free to do so No need to ask for permission nor I require you guys to give credits to me. Just pull the APK and thats it! No strings attached
Edit: Sorry guys got a typo in the updater script so it failed to install. Already fixed it now.
Edit: Updated installer script.
Download this for the modded gallery.

Download this for restoring to stock odexed gallery(If mod won't work on your ROM)

Umh, i opened zip, there is an issue at the first string so:
- Open the zip wit 7zip or other
- Go to: "META-INF/com/google/android
- Open the "updater-script" with notepad++ or another editor
- Replace this line with the first
Code:
ui_print("HTC Gallery patch");
- Close the editor
- Save all
- Flash it
You can also do this:
- Download the apk from here or here, or extract it from zip
- Put into you fastboot/adb folder (you can download it from here)
- Connect the phone at pc with debug usb enabled
- Open a cmd or terminal and move to the folder (cd dir_of_folder)
- Type:
Code:
adb push HTCAlbum.apk system/app
- Open the gallery
- Done!

I never removed the friends folder for the sole reason that when logged in to facebook or flickr you could still view your friend's images in there. My main intention of doing this is to organize those messy pics that shows up in the main gallery window when you open it ands instead place it inside the friends folder. Anyways I'll try to update this thread and upload a modded one with the social plugin totally disabled when I get free time.

what about an xposed version?
I don't use nor know how to use xposed so better off asking some devs on doing this. Just tell them to download the APK and diff it. The change is pretty simple.
