[MOD] 2.2-Style Notification/Power Menu/Settings Icons for 2.1 Captivates

[KaLiBLeeK]

Figured I'd share these since I threw 'em together after using 2.2 for a bit and going back to 2.1...

They're modified framework-res.apk, Mms.apk, and Settings.apk files. You can copy and paste them over the existing apks via RootExplorer (which is the method I used), or you can push them via adb...provided your permissions are setup and you don't get the "access denied" messages.

I think I managed to get all the notification/settings menu/power menu icons skinned. Most of the dialogue pop-ups are also the dark blue now, instead of the regular blue from 2.1. Also, the battery meter is basically the stock battery meter, but it's actually accurate. It's the same one used in the Cognition ROMs, minus the numbers.

I've only tested these on my phone, obviously, but they worked on Cognition 2.1 as well as stock 2.1 ROMs.

Instructions:

#1: Rename files by removing "TWEAKED-" portion from file name(s).
#2: Copy or push files to appropriate folders via RootExplorer or adb. (framework-res.apk goes in the "/system/framework/" folder, Mms.apk and Settings.apk go in "/system/app/" folder).
#3: Reboot. Depending on how you copy files over, you might get a force close error before you reboot.

Enjoy!

I just copied the framework/mms/settings apks from both 2.1 and 2.2 to my computer, and then grabbed the image files out of the drawable-hdpi folder in the 2.2 apks...moved those into the 2.1 apks, and then moved the updated apks into the appropriate folders on the phone with RootExplorer.

Hopefully that makes sense. Haha.

Any idea why my battery icon wont show? I have the phone rooted and have Root Explorer installed. I renamed the stock apks and just pasted the new ones in. Also the Power Control widget does not work any more. Says "problem loading widget"

No idea, I've never had either issue. You can try copying the APKs over again and rebooting to see if the battery meter shows again.

None of the APKs should have any effects on the widgets. I don't use Power Control but SwitchPro and everything else works fine.

Also, if you're renaming the stock APKs on the phone with RootExplorer, instead of just making backup copies of them, before copying over the new ones, that could be causing problems. That's the same as actually deleting the stock APKs, which are necessary system files. I've only installed them by overwriting the existing APKs with the new ones, then rebooting.
