Default [APP] BlurPhone.apk MOD - Better In-Call Background

I really really dislike the bluedialer in-call background. It's ugly, and not even rendered correctly, seriously I could have created a better background in photoshop in less than 5 minutes.

With that being said, I have put together a few different styles for the in-call background image. Obviously, the last one is the x2's blur ugliness. They are platform signed and ready to go! This is only for the Droid X2, please do not try on any other phone.



This is a system app replacement. There are instructions below if you are unfamiliar with this process, it's pretty straight forward, and you can't really go wrong.

Let me know which one is your favorite. I'm really curious. I love 4 and 5 the best.


Instructions:
There is a really good guide, here. It spells out exactly how to replace a system app. I suggest using root explorer, it's only a few dollars in the app market, but it's been well worth the money. I always use it. There are also alternatives, I think FileExpert is one that uses root permissions. (Obviously being rooted is essential here!)

The apks attached will need to be renamed to BlurPhone.apk first! Then copy it over to /system/app, once you've done that make sure it's permissions are set as follows (long-press on file if using root explorer):


Then reboot, and you're done. Make a test call to be sure it works. If it doesn't, you did something wrong.

Which one do you like the best?



I have already attached number 4. I will be doing number 3 soon. You can't install. You have to push to system. Use rootexplorer, set correct permissions, then reboot. Working great for me!

Love it! About to install. Where do I push it in system? If you could spell it out, as far as where exactly to put it, and what exact permissions, that would be awesome. I hate the default background...
