Dithered vs Non-Dithered ICS Background

[endursa]

This has bothered me since i first looked at my One X

Why in the hell is the ICS Holo Dark Background not dithered?
for those who don't know what i mean, look at the two pics,

Dithered:

not Dithered: (stock look)

The only point i would see, is the difference in file size (4,4 Kb vs 119 Kb)

but never the less i very much prefer the dithered png, and so i added it to the framework-res.apk

if anyone wants to use this just copy the file into framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png

That's funny... it's bothered me seeing that as well. Looks fugly on a high end such as the one X. Great minds think a like. This "fix" will be implemented in my Energy ROM that will be posted today...

 

[endursa]

awesome
btw i remember your rom from back in the hd2 times, good times

Woah, now that you think about it, it looks bad. Thanks for this

EDIT: I'm interested if this could be turned into a flashable zip, so no need to edit the rom for example, and flash it again.

EDIT2: Nevermind

Good to see You again I can still renember your first ROMs on Touch Pro

Thanks a lot for this man.

I was really bothered by this one particular quirk. Apps like Boid looked weird with the dark themes.

I just wish all the devs would implement this in their ROMs.

Is this doable? Would be awesome if it is.

it would be possible to provide a flashable zip but this would revert all other mods, becsuse the whole framework-res. apk will be exchanged!

but it is possible to use metamorph or something similar

Ok.

Could you please provide instructions on how to achieve this by using metamorph? Which exact file will have to be modified, etc.?

Thanks

Well if you guys want this fix in a ROM, go look for the Energy ROM in the dev section. I released my ROM with this in it yesterday! Props endursa !

Made a zip that patches the bg into the framework. Haven't tested it, but it should work.

Uses Villiantheme, so your original framework-res will be modified rather than replaced.

It does work

Now using this and I must say that it makes apps like Boid that make use of this image look so much nicer.

Awesome find!!!

Works on ARHD 5.1.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Have added it my theme, thanks for giving us your permission! Have of course given credit to you for this fix.

hm shell I include it in Revolution HD?

 

[endursa]

i definitely would very much welcome it, so every body can enjoy the mod without having to fiddle around with additional flashing

as I said before, I allow every custom Rom to include my file(s), because what is the point of discovering something and not sharing it so everybody can profit!
