I tried to use ninjamorph to swap out the xmls and it worked fine I added the 200 pngs but the only one it displays is unknown battery png. So I know I didn't do something right. Lol

You won't be able to do that with ninjamorph. Have you tried the uot online kitchen? Upload your framework and it will add it for you. Otherwise you have to get your hands dirty and learn how from scratch.

Can system apps have been altered by carriers so that they are incompatible with some of these mods in the op? I have had a mixed bag of beans with some working, and some causing bootloops even when following to the word and using the lines available in the posts.

I have never seen that though it is possible to add drm to make apktool malfunction. 99 of the time it's an error by the person modding. Obviously that's probably not what you want to hear. Can you post specific information about the issues you are having?

One I tried was Tommy Tomatoes transparent settings. Followed everything in his post, pushed the file and the system menu didn't pop up before and after reboot. It didn't seem to install properly.
Another was billbower's post of your method for transparency by editing the com.htc.resources.apk. Tried it and it did work, but caused several of the google app to FC. So I tried a reboot and then my phone went into a bootloop. Had to restore my old system from nand. gutted as it half worked. Will I have to edit the google app image resources to make it work?

That wouldn't affect any google apps. Just htc and some market apps. What tools are you using

Are you on the original Evo? Most of the mods posted are for the 3d or sensation. I'm sure we can help with the original if that's what you have.

These mods won't work for you then. I'll see if I can dig up some of our mods from the og evo.

I could be wrong but it says that apktool.yml isn't present which usually is created when you decompile. At least I've seen it when I've been doing it.

Can I ask why thus wouldn't work on the og evo? The thing I noticed is it caused a few drawable-hdmi processes to fc in the people.apk.

The phones run completely different versions of sense. The of evo was sense 1. The 3d is sense 3.0 or higher, depending on the Rom

Stupid question, but what was your decompile command?

I figured out what I did wrong. I didn't in compile the HTC resource apk.

Hey robobob.. What version android are you running?

I'm afraid that I forgot to mention, whenever you decompile com.htc.resources.apk, there is a folder in there, I believe it's called raw...I'm out of town and not near my laptop right now. Anyway, it contains the animations for the weather on sense 3.0. It will not work if compressed and will cause a FC anytime you turn on your phone. The fix is to take the folder, using 7zip or winrar, and remove it from a non edited resources.apk and drop it into your modified one. Make sure compression on 7zip or winrar is set at store. Sorry about forgetting that little detail. Hope this helps out.

Hi,
I'm on 2.3.4. Others have already said this particular mod won't work as I'm on an older version of sense. It worked on settings and a few other apks but caused several inc. people, to either fc or just not open. something to do with the drawable-hdpi folder. then after a reboot a bootloop.
Thanks for the advice anyway though.
Edit: Tried what you said as a last ditch attempt. I copied over the raw ,and drawable hdmi folder to make sure. Then I added the META-INFO folder and Manifest.xml all from the original com.htc.resources, and bingo!! I got me my transparency! Thanks for the advice

Been driving me mental for the past week! I'm a slow learning noob at these things.
