i was on hacktherazr.com looking at some hacks when i came across the blue bar hack. that doesn't work for all of the bars, so i snooped around on my Razr v3m and found a file called landsat.bar. it is located in /brew/mod/landsat
in that brew file there is the red bar and the red "ok" button template and all of the red stuff. when i try to replace the files with blue or anything else that i have made myself, my computer crashes and reboots. anyone wanna have a go at replacing the red bars?

I have tried the blue bar hack and noticed the same, only the menu for the skins seems to have blue bars... I would love to try ad edit the lansat file but I do not know what program is used to extract/explore the bar files... I have the BREW sdk on my machine and have built several themes for the v3m with it, but cant seem to open a .bar file to view files inside of them...

What are you using to view the .bar files?

I was able to upload the file with the red bar changed to blue and it didn't do anything.

if you read the posts above, it tells you that there are only one or two places the bar will change. If you have the correct phone and all and you followed the instructions, you will have a couple places that have a blue bar, but only a couple.

Be that as it may, I was referencing the landsat blue bar edit, which did nothing. I've already done the HTR Blue Bar hack, and I know what it does. Thanks.

well, no matter what I am still in search of the program used to view/explore/extract the .bar files from phone to my machine so that I can edit them.... so if someone has any info on a program available now and maybe what basic steps to get the actual bar files to open for viewing, please let me know. I am willing to work on the blue bar hack to make the rest of the bars blue, but need the program to view the bar files to begin with. And I dont have the ability to do so in the BREW SDK unless something is hidden that I am not finding.

BREW Resource Editor in the BREW Tools 1.1 Download that pairs the BREW SDK 3.x download.

Ok, I must be missing something then. I have the BREW SDK. I have the BREW Resource Editor. I can open bar files for skins I have made myself, but files like the landsat.bar file from the phone will not open in the BREW Resource Editor. I get a nifty little error message saying basically that the file is of unknown format or is in some way protected. So if you have had success opening the landsat.bar file that comes off the phone, please, just make this simple and let me know what program and option from it's menu you used to open it specifically... did you have the phone connected and load the file from the phone itself? Did you save it to your machine and then open it?

I JUST downloaded/installed the BREW SDK from the actual BREW website a couple weeks ago, so if it isn't the latest version, it sure is close enough to open these files as several had mentioned months back about editing them as well...

I'm not trying to argue or be difficult here.. i just don't see how you can open these files with the SDK software...

My SDK is version 1.0.1. Now I don't know what "pairs the BREW SDK 3.x download" means but, like I said, i did download and install the latest BREW SDK available from their site just about two weeks back.

sorry about that, i thought you were discussing the bluebar hack... it seems to me that, because each of the menus in the phone has its own .bar file, we may have to change the bars in each menu option? As I said tho, I can not access the phones bar files with the sdk so I am not even sure what contains what yet, with the exception of the files outlined in the skins tutorial and the bluebar hack... so if I am wrong, it was just a guess... but if some of them can be changed, then all of them can be changed.

i dunno about your problem w/ BREW RE, I've never had problems not opening, but it does freeze irritatingly often.
