Lightbulb [MOD] Android ASCII Transparent Notification Pulldown

Hello all,

After finally getting more and more familiar with Android (moving from years of WinMo customization), I have decided to release the transparent notification pulldown mod that I've created. First off, I must give credit to the (unknown) creator of the actual ASCII android dude, which I obtained from the last frame of the Desire BIOS bootscreen. I worked hard to ensure that the ascii remained crisp since I didn't have the original files, and I think it works great (even some transparency shines through the characters!).

I hope you'll enjoy this, and it's also important to note a few things:
  • There are 2 files provided below, one is the FLASHABLE .zip and one is a .rar of the raw images/PNGs I used
  • The flashable .zip file must be installed AFTER FIRST BOOT if you've just flashed a new ROM
  • Super Circle Battery MOD A is included by default, as I prefer it best (thanks to Fightspit for that one!)
  • In the .rar package, you will find the replaceable images so that you can use this transparent appdrawer mod with any other 'framework-res.apk' files that you would prefer to use instead.

PLEASE perform a NANDROiD backup before installing this MOD! You have been warned!

Preview Images:

After you've flashed it, please report back here with your thoughts/issues/etc.!

Thanks all, and I hope you enjoy. Cheeeeeers!

Hi I donīt think you know what a AppDrawer is .
The AppDrawer is the Screen coming up if you hit you left button in sense. The one which contains all Apps (APP-Drawer). Thatīs why the call it like this.

Now you changed it Just wanted to help. Btw: Nice Work !

Hey guys, thanks for the clarification. I don't apply many mods myself (other than this one) so I'm not hip to the lingo

I corrected the title of the post so as not to cause more confusion.

My mistake!

Hey chk13, that's a great idea, and I definitely would, however I am not sure which images from 'com.htc.resources.apk' are responsible for drawing the background of the AppDrawer.

I am a little busy now with normal work, but if you find the answer to that and let me know the image filename, I will surely update this to include the AppDrawer replacement.

Cheers!

I understand you perfectly chk13 I also understand that its an .xml edit to set the transparency, so I probably won't be able to add the Android ASCII character in there like my notification pulldown.

I'll have a look and will eventually try to update my theme to support a transparent AppDrawer.

BTW, I will be posting it to http://leedroid.protogenlabs.com under the "Customize" section, so keep an eye on it!

Cheers and thanks!
