I've read about this here a bit but it's not really well documented or tutorialized.

So, how can someone change stock launcher to whatever launcher he/she wants ?

I know this is done via adb console, this is not the issue. But dunno what needs to be taken out and replaced; if something needs to be renamed or not. Where can the apk files be found for newly installed software ? and also what needs to be removed from the stock launcher ? odex & apk ? I know where to find the apk, but not the odex. and are any more files "bound" to the stock launcher except the apk and the odex file ? If say i use a filemanager to locate my desired launcher (having said launcher installed), will pushing it into the /system/app folder do the trick or do I have to rename it ? That means that basically the system/app folder is like a folder for apps that are launched automatically when phone starts.

Can someone help me & shed some light on this ? Thanks !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] svtfmook:
as few ways to do this. isntall launcherpro (or what launcher you want).

use root explorer to move com.fede.launcher.apk from /data/app to /system/app

change the name to launcherpro.apk

change the permissions to read for user, group and others. write for user only.

reboot

once you select launcherpro, use root explorer, go to /system/app, and delete launcher.apk or home.apk or whatever your rom uses as stock home/launcher.

or, use adb

abd push launcherpro.apk /system/app
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ldq:
Thanks man, though I have some questions:

Q1: how do I do

Q2:

Don't I have to rename launcherpro.apk to home.apk in order for it to work @ startup time ?

Instead of deleting home.apk, perhaps moving them to the sdcard might be better (just in case).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] svtfmook:
you can use root explorer to change permissions. just long press the apk and a submenu will pop up with permissions being an option.

whether or not you need to change the name of launcherpro will depend on your rom/device. you can leave launcherpro as is and leave home.apk in there, reboot. when it boots, it should have a popup asking which you'd like to use as the launcher.

or, install launcherpro like normal, select it to be the default launcher and it should always launch at boot.

Victory ! :D

Step by step:

1. Backup original launcher

adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk Launcher.apk.bak

2. Backup installed launcherpro/adw/golauncher apk's to either HDD or SDcard

2a. Use root explorer mount r/w to copy corresponding file to SDcard & after that

rename the file to Launcher.apk or whatever your stock launcher is. ( user installed apps can be found in /data/app)

2b. Pull file to HDD

adb pull /data/app/Launcher.apk Launcher.apk

3. Push file to /system/app

adb push Launcher.apk /data/app/Launcher.apk

4. Reboot & Enjoy

Hi,

How I to enabe ads on Overcome ROM? Some web videos require ads before they start and now with Overcome I get an error message that tells you to remove adblocker.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Err.....Why would you want to enable it? better that it is ON.
[Galaxy Tab General] Flokey:
You have to edit the hosts file and delete the entries that reroute the urls to 127.0.0.1..

/system/etc/hosts

use Root-Explorer for that... make a backup first.
[Galaxy Tab General] jykke78:
Because I can't watch those videos I want without ads. They just won't start.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:

This is a Froyo theme for those of you who miss the old android. For screenshots, just search the web - it's just stock Froyo.

HDPI/MDPI supported.

Enjoy! :)

Update (20/5) -

Fixed headphone icon

Transparent notif background

Old school power widget icons

Rounded-edge status bar
[Android Themes] panggilakuantok:
screenshoot please...
[Android Themes] DannyBiker:
THANK YOU !

I was waiting for someone to do this. It fits clear themes and setup more than the dark gingerbread look.

One bug so far : in the notification bar (one pulled down), the background isn't clear white but shows like a grey-out checkerboard...

So far so good however...:p
[Android Themes] nhnt11:
Not a bug. It's stock. I ported it directly from AOSP, no modifications.
[Android Themes] DannyBiker:
In fact by seeing this image :

...I realize your are right BUT I'm running this on HDPI and the little light grey/dark grey squares of the background are way bigger than the ones on the picture. That's why it didn't look familiar...;)
[Android Themes] poontab:
Wow old-school! Thanks
[Android Themes] beggar23:
Quite a funny idea! (:
[Android Themes] Deleted member 3005899:
+1 But im running MDPI
[Android Themes] nhnt11:
Figured out the notif-background. Will upload new version soon, kinda busy atm though.
[Android Themes] sjknight413:
good job!

dont suppose you fancy making a honeycomb theme? ;)

i had a go today but i have no theming knowledge. my guess is it would only involve using most of the assets from the honeybread hdpi theme and just replacing the notification drop down headers and background.
[Android Themes] ephumuris:
Totally legend idea.
[Android Themes] igorenia777:
thank you

very nice
[Android Themes] N4STYNATE:
This is a great idea, and so far- very well done.

Is there any way you can theme the remaining parts... (like keyboard)

Is this something you intend on developing, or are you done "as-is"?

Thanks again, so far its great :-)

[Android Themes] indisingh:
This is awesome, I've been waiting for someone to do this for a while, BUT the notification power widget still turns out grey, like it hasn't changed from gingerbread at all. I've tried reinstalling and rebooting but the problem still exists :/

EDIT: I have a wildfire so it might be the screen resolution...
[Android Themes] don_kamil:
Icon of headphones is white... It should be black.

[Android Themes] petrochemicals:
Why not? This is a great theme, and I hope to see an update for it. As I would like to see the rounded corners for the task bar, and a fix for the headphone icon.
[Android Themes] siyman:
And will it be possible for you to ad the standard background? In my case using CM7 I have none of the original bgs and I'm missing them because of they were kinda pritty ;)

Good work! I was awaiting something like this for long.
[Android Themes] crackers8199:

Please, update appreciated.

Thanks man! Good work.

Finally CM7 got to SGS so I can have this impressive theme on it.

Although I hope you find time to make an update of this theme. I would appreciate the round-cornered statusbar, the earphone fix and transparent notif-background.
[Android Themes] Dkadr1:
I found that when you connect the headphones, the icon is white so it can't be seen with the white background.
[Android Themes] geoffcorey:
If you would have read the thread, you would have known this.
[Android Themes] dpeeps74:
i found the headphone icon i think, i've just been too lazy to mess with it on my phone. i'm attaching it though for anyone that wants it. this would be mdpi icon.
[Android Themes] Chiller89:
You wouldnt happen to know where i can find the hdpi?
[Android Themes] dpeeps74:
No, but for the mdpi I just downloaded aosp roms for the cdma hero and dug into the framework-re.apk until I found one that was right. Most I looked at had the wrong icon that was just white without the background.

~maybe I set it too high...
[Android Themes] Chiller89:
Ok, cause I tried to edit the theme posted here, (hope you don't mind :-)) but all that happened once I replaced the image was that it didn't show anymore when the headphones were plugged in? Any ideas what I can do to fix it?
[Android Themes] nhnt11:
Oh alright I give in... I'll update it today :)

Edit: Ok, I've done the rounded-edge status bar, fixed the headset icon, and added transparent notification background. Is there anything else?

[Android Themes] geoffcorey:
Battery percentage is in cm settings.
[Android Themes] Chiller89:
ya, but with this theme, the option there causes the battery to dissapear and the batter icon returns to default CM7 style :)

Thanks anyway
[Android Themes] cygnus:
This is a great theme! I noticed that it could be a little more complete though. I was wondering if it's possible for you to add more of the aspects of the flashable Spring Cleaning theme (another aosp froyo theme); parts such as the dialer and the keyboard. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the theme engine, but I thought I would as anyways.

Thanks again for this great theme!
[Android Themes] iammodo:
Loving it. Saves me porting my galaxy s asop theme. Thank you.
[Android Themes] nhnt11:
Quite possible, but the problem is I am very lazy. And have tons of other things to do. And do not particularly like this theme. So, it will probably be quite a while before I actually do anything :D

For the past month or so I've been looking on and off for the app drawer icon for the complete retro look, could only find blurry images and poor quality ones, but ended up finding a decent quality one (my photoshop skills suck so I didn't know how to emulate it from scratch) any way I came across this screenshot and just cropped it a little and tried to add the curvy bit to the left/right corners.

Any way this is the end result, it's not perfect but I'm happy with it.

​

Basically this is the perfect size for my phone (HD2 running the latest Typhoon build - with DPI setting to 200).

End result:

[Android Themes] haltbarmilch:
great theme. thanks. one little problem. i don't see the operator name in the stauts bar pull down. i think it is because the text color is white, the same as background. can i change anyway?
[Android Themes] Powell730:
It wouldn't be possible for you to add a froyo themed 4g icon would it?

Basically just like the 3g one but it says 4g.. That is if your still working on this :)
[Android Themes] ssakuma:
hi.

i had a same problem, and i hope this helps you.;)

1. de-compile RetroDroid.apk.

2. add a below line to res/xml/com_android_systemui.xml

<item name="color/carrier_label_text_color">@color/carrier_label_text_color</item>

3. add a below line to res/values/colors.xml

<color name="carrier_label_text_color">#ff323232</color>

4. re-compile RetroDroid.apk and sign it, then install it to the phone

and if you want FroYo style Title-Background (grey, not black), you need to change this line of /res/xml/com_android_systemui.xml

<item name="drawable/shade_header_background">@drawable/title_bar_portrait</item>
[Android Themes] haltbarmilch:
Thank you very very much!
[Android Themes] migatxu:
I was looking for this so many time! But I like the real retro status that was square (I always hated the rounded) no rounded but all people like rounded, ok. Im trying to edit the apk (apk manager) but I get so many errors that I don't understand.

Someone that knows how to do it could do it for me?

Edit: And the operator name fix please with FroYo style Title-Background (grey, not black)

Cheers :-)
[Android Themes] ssakuma:
try these, before you re-compile.

1. use de-compiled statusbar_background.9.png for replacing..

2. delete /res/values/public.xml.
[Android Themes] migatxu:
I can't do that, I get so many errors from de-compile to re-compile and now I can't see public.xml en res/values (advanced edit in apk manager)

Now only editing the graphs it worked without problems but it didn't work once installed.

If I try to advanced edit I get so many errors, I don't understar, I don't know what Im doing
[Android Themes] nhnt11:
Looks like you're trying to add 9patch PNG's from some other source without decompiling them first. Or your 9patching is messed up. I suggest you look some stuff up on this.
[Android Themes] migatxu:
I'm sorry guys, but I can't I just tried to do something that I can't understand... I surrender.

Thank you very very much for the help, if the developer or other person someday be encouraged to make these changes would be great

Now I can set the hdpi version but it gives a warning.

It seems to work fine for now, I don't know if the warning will give a problem in the future.

Thank you very very very very much. I like the square corners and now I can see the operator name.

One more question: the email and gmail notifications with this theme are quite light greyish, the rest of the notification icons tend to be black or light grey. Is this any way to make them darker?
[Android Themes] ssakuma:
i think that grey notification icons you see are provided by each applicaions, such as Email.apk, Gmail.apk, MusicGoogle.apk, etc.

so,

1. get black notification icons from FroYo

2. put them to res/drawable-_dpi folder

3. create /res/xml/com_android_xxxx.xml.(file name depends on apk's package name)

4. discribe <item> tag in <resource-redirection> tag properly in it, like this.

<resource-redirections>
<item name="drawable/stat_notify_xxxx">@drawable/stat_notify_xxxx</item>
</resource-redirections>

then, you may see a black icon of stat_notify_xxxx.png.

but i have not tried this.:p
[Android Themes] migatxu:
Oh, god... :P

Edit: If someone tells me what I need to edit this apk Ill do it all changes.

[Android Themes] dk2000zx:
wow perfect! Just what i was looking for .. 1 request. can you use the FULL white status bar (Instead of shaped corners)?? and some HQ Vibration Icon?? thanks
[Android Themes] migatxu:
Then it couldn't be called RetroDroid, imho. Did you know http://goo.gl/gnnmZ ?

I think that is very easy to find white themes, but not this retro theme.

Cheers
[Android Themes] Kelvino9:
The full or edged white bar was the original design for all pre-Gingerbread (AOSP/vanilla ROMs) the rounded corners where a speciality in the CyanogenMod ROMs.

Google AOSP = edged corners

CyanogenMod = round corners

Maybe somebody here could create a modified version.
[Android Themes] ssakuma:
hello.

please try this, and tell me if it works or not.:D
[Android Themes] Powell730:
Dude thank you so much! It works perfect!
[Android Themes] ssakuma:

To the dev of this wonderful theme (I searched a lot for a good white statusbar theme :P ) :

Can you make the menu a little bit more transparent and with borders grey instead of black? And can you hide the square around the notification power widget when a button is pressed? Antoher thing: when I press on the auto-rotation sensor switcher on the notification power widget, the icon become white, like this:
