Default May 4th, Resized Calculator,Mms, Email and Contacts for density

Hey guys,
After realizing how fantastic the tab is after switching to 182 dpi I figured I'd fix up some of the apps to fit better.
Thanks to Xan from this thread for the quick tool and batch script to make the changes.
These apks are from Overcome 1.6.3 and should work on other dpi settings as well.

Instructions, push the new files to /system/app after mounting the system rw, or using root explorer..
*Edit May 4th* I've attached an updated Email.apk as well

Disclaimer:The Standard disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if this causes boot loops, any other issues with your Tab, or giant meteors to crash into your car.Backup the files you are replacing first.

So u did rename framework-res to 1.apk and twframwork to 2.apk.. decompiling phone & contacts worked for me. Give me a howl if it didn't work and ill zip up mine and send it..

oh im editing overcome145 - not tested 163

just a friendly tip, might be a idea to use frameworks from a stock 2.2.1 rom instead from a moddified rom, might be a glitch there..

I tried, but ddms doesn't capture them correctly. The change makes the apps pretty much look exactly like they do at 240dpi.

Thanks.
Noticed that the statusbar disappears in the email app, when i go into landscape.

How about modifying the camera app?
I didnt find the stock launcher too bad. Had to switch it though, after i changed density. Is that modifyable too?

Would be nice.
