[Verizon] [MOD] Nova Launcher-Folder Images (revised 2/24)

In2uitiv said:

I'll use my latest homescreen shot as an example. Notice how the background of the dock fades from black to transparent (bottom to top)?

Unlike Go Launcher or LP I can't customize that background to be completely transparent.

I was curious if there's a mod that can be used to remove this background.

Mod codenames launcher... found the CNDlauncher.apk, copyied to pc...opened with winrar.. found the 3 files needed to replace in the drawable-xhdi folder, overwrote them, adb pushed the apk back to system/app no errors... rebooted... folders still have the circle...

could it be that those 3 files are pulled from a different folder? I found 2 of the files in the drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi , but not really sure if those needs to be overwritten..

I also made sure i gave the folder r/w with root explorer before adb pushing

I also used root explorer to copy the apk to my pc... should i have pulled it via adb?

just tested one apk and it doesn't install : "appli not installed" at the end

is it possible to install the apk alone or must I use the script ?
my device is not rooted

edit :

what is the name of the dependancy ? seems I need to extract as a system app

@ jaydotelloh

just found why directly your apk was not installing : not signed

so just extracted your apk , removing all in Meta-Inf and resigning , unistall Nova Launcher and ...................

now it works perfectly

really strange : I've tried to change the background png and it was not working with my mod , I'll retry (png mod : portal_container_holo.9.png and portal_ring_inner_holo.png

for the next version could you just change these png and I'll change in my apk or probably ,no need to make a change , just to replace the original png with yours

EDIT : tested with beta15 apk , copying your 4 png (portal*) and your mods are not there !!!
could you try to make a beta15 mod Blue Rings (with the Blue background Folder) ?

yes but empty the meta-inf before resigning

my tool is from xda , the issue was in META INF 2 files from tesla and manifest so delete them and it will work with a signing tool

I've seen on rootzwiki that it seems difficult for people to uninstall

Isn't it easy to go to Setting>Applications and then just install ?

or there was an unistall zip given by the dev on xda


May I ask you just a little word about me at the end of your first post in rootzwiki ?
about signing the apk

There is no change about the Folder Background in this last release so I just make a little change for the Folder background on the Market free version

(the Black background made 50 % transparent)

edit : signed by the signing tool from XDA. You can use it and resign if needed.

the only png mod is : portal_container_holo.9.png
