MrDSL,

I remember on CM7, your dialer was slick and transparent. Running your Version 5 beta for ICS, should the dialer be transparent, or is it too much of a pain to do? If the latter, I totally understand! LOL

Cheers,

Mark.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
im not even sure it can be transparent in ICS..I havent seen it anywhere so either its not possible or nobody has figured it out yet.
[Android Themes] dadoc04:
*chants clear dialer*...... cmon DSL!!
[Android Themes] salomaoa:
Well, I'm not running cm9! I'm running AURORA ICS and your theme seems to be working nice on it! :-)

Salomao
[Android Themes] mslatter:
Fair enough. Well if you need me to do any testing, just give me a shout. Loving what you've done so far - Thank you!

Mark.

okay ill check that out..none of them actually mention how they did it so it may be hard for me to figure out unless they share the method..

If someone wants to help me I need a download of Apkmanager (5.0.2)

The website has been down..I need to to learn how to compile ICS .apks and decompiling is fine but I cant get them compiled correctly.

or the APK Multi-Tool found in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310151

help me help us ;)
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Dude I already know you got a badass theme for CM7 but this one is even nicer I think. I like MIUI but there themes suck , there too girly lol. The CM7 themes got some spunk lol. I love the blue Androidian feel, you took it to a new level. Even though the ICS is beta it would be hard for somebody to top it
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Hey try this link

http://www.mediafire.com/?k1f8g523k9k0a97

For the apk tool
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
thanks..i ended up having the wrong aapt file..Thanks to dustinb17 for giving me a working folder..

Now im really starting to learn some stuff..too bad none of you have the note cause some of what I do can only be directly applied to the apk's..
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
I did look at that transparent apk you guys linked me to and it doesn't compile and the guy isnt giving any guide on how he did it so I'll have to ask my fellow themers if they know how.
[Android Themes] mslatter:
I tried to push the transparent contacts.apk from that one link to my phone. Ignorance I guess, because after a reboot, I lost my contacts and phone. Pushed my backup back to the phone and all is back to normal.

That said, Nova Launcher just pushed out an update yesterday that now has settings to make the drawer transparent, and can have the apps scroll vertically verse horizontally. We're moving closer =)
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
that contacts is based off touchwiz so its never going to work for you :p

now you can try and use this Mms.apk its based off AOSP 4.0.4 so should work just make sure to set correct permission or it wont work.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
okay tonight I will be taking the new Mms.apk from cm9 that includes emoji support and hopefully making it all black, adding bubbles for send and receive and animating the sms notification..

fingers crossed!!!

i should note the Mms.apk I attched above does have animated sms new notification

[Android Themes] mslatter:
Probably my Virtuous Inquisition ROM but after copying that file to the directory (after renaming the original of course) and setting permissions (all through File Manager) and a reboot, I couldn't find my SMS... So doesn't work for me. Probably has to do with the fact my MMS file is something like com.android.mms.apk instead of just Mms.apk. I'll see what I can figure out with your MMS apk when available :-)

Cheers!
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
the name of the apk shouldnt matter as long as there is only one of the same file there..

the new Mms.apk I built off of CM9 is now available and it has emoji support..

you can get it here and this one should work with all ICS AOSP builds..

Good day sir..Just wanna ask if you still provide some mdpi themes?

Specially Cyanorange and mixer purple?tried your link in 1st and 2nd post, but link is down..

Really dying to try your themes :(
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Sorry no I don't have plans on doing any mdpi and I doubt I'll be able to even do hdpi..Keep in mind though the theme engine for cm9 isnt implimented yet so I dont know how it works...it may resize the images and it could work fine in mdpi but its hard to say at this point..

I'll fix the links for mdpi when i get home and can access the files.
[Android Themes] XsMagical:
I hope you don't drop hdpi, this is my favorite theme

Swyped from my Nocturnal'd E3D
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
thats certainly not my plan, although i dont have a hdpi device running ICS to test on though either but i believe they will work fine with hdpi..

when I run my Note at 240dpi things seem to look and work fine so thats encouraging.
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Does this mms.apk have a black background?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Yes make sure you're using my newest one..

Reading the rom description it should work...is that a mdpi device?

Can you entertain me and flash the mms.apk instead and see what happens?

[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I think it's hdpi a TMobile Samsung Vibrant, I will add it to the metamorph I had made
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Ok I added the mms.apk to the mixerv5.zip I had made and it over wrote the last one, flashed it and same thing the messaging app didn't appear.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
welp looks like im gonna try building off AOKP source and see if that one works.
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Will you be doing a theme for ICS Roms? Or have you and I missed it LOL?

There is Glasstopia for the hellfire rom and it's nice, but I love this theme.
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Well I thought it would work since AOKP is based on AOSP and they use some parts from CM9 but I guess there's differences I don't understand thanks;)
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Lol read back a few pages
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Thanks! Found v5 on page 223... can it be flashed in CWM or do I need to do the zipthemer thing? Couldn't find any install info for v5.

Also is it just for certain roms or will it work with most?
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Download .Zip Themer (free from the Play Store)

Open Zip Themer

2. Hit the Theme button

3. Select the downloaded zip file and let it finish

4. Hit menu soft button

5. Select Update and Edify

6. Use installation zip made just for the Vibrant. ( not like the Slim Zip installation files because it is used for different devices, use a zip file like CM9 or AOKP it's what I used)

7. Then touch the configure button and let do its thing.

8. The hit the Build It Button

9. Then install the zip file

If this doesn't work I won't know what else to tell you out can't get simpler than that good luck ￼

I posted this in another thread, same principle, or go to the official website

It should work with any ICS AOSP ROM
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Kewl that's what I needed to know... i'm familiar with zip themer, just didn't know if it was needed with v5 or not.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
mexicandroid- compiling aokp based mms now..hopefully you can test for me
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
okay here is Mms.apk based off latest AOKP 34 i believe..
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
It's not working either, I do have experience in adding apps to the system partition so I do know what I'm doing

(don't want you to think I'm a dummy)

according to my don't thread it is based of AOSP with cherry picks from AOKP anda CM9
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Ahh yes that's why it doesn't work..no solid aokp build for your phone?

Transparent mms anyone? Hehe

Edit: the black and transparent mms didn't work for me :(:(:(

Anybody else tested the mms.apk

I can only assume its because its built off xhdpi I dunno..I am building straight from the Nexus line as its closest to my phone screen wise.

thx for trying dsl

Yeah, I tried the black one yesterday and SMS disappeared on me so didn't work. I suspect the transparent one will be the same but the potential reward will make me try it anyway :D
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Does anyone have like a Galaxy Nexus or any device thats XHDPI? I need to know if thats why this isnt working for the others..

thanks
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Im not sure what he is building off of but can someone test one of these and see if it works?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1616164
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
I have confirmed with my buddy who has a Galaxy Nexus it works fine..So it must be because I am building these off xhdpi and you guys have hdpi

I will try and make you guys a transparent mms for hdpi tonight after work..it would be better if you just bought the Galaxy Note though :p

Just cause Im cool like that ;)

Bad news is all attempts at a trans dialer have failed..I have got the contacts screen to be transparent but the dialer always fc's :mad:
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Hmmm, the mms.apk that was on the add to zip file worked on my last rom but won't work on the AOKP rom, oh well I'll wait for others to test maybe you can figure out what's affecting it
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
The old one you're referring to was build based on plain AOSP from google source and was for hdpi..

i assume thats why it worked..
[Android Themes] hurtz777:
MrDSL the black AOKP Build 34 mms works perfect for me on Samsung Vibrant. I just pushed it with root explorer and set permissions. By the way your v5 theme is beautiful and makes ICS pop! Thanks again for your hard work!
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I downloaded and installed hello blue and hallo green and worked, I didn't use the install zip though
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Okay looking at his it is also xhdpi but he isnt using the Mms.apk that has emoji support....that may be the issue..i pm'ed him and asked him what he is basing his off of..

personally i need emoji support because my girl uses go sms and likes to use them(yeah i know but at least i got her off iOS) hehe
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
There were probably some kind of changes in the frameworks for emoji support. I easily got my wife of the iPad, wasn't too hard since it doesn't support flash player :Dand she needs it for online homework.

I can't wait for TMobile too get a quad core phone
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
thats my guess also since my Nexus buddy has it working fine..
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I'll be around if youneed any other testing

I should have time tonight to build one that will hopefully work on those little tiny HDPI devices you guys have :p
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I remember the days when the HD2 and Galaxy were the biggest phones, :rolleyes:my oh my how th times have changed lol:D

I thought the problem was the emoji support? Since the other mms.apk from the other thread were based of xhdpi and worked on my hdpi Samsung Vibrant, but they didn't hasn't emoji support
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
correct the images should just scale..i was just teasing bout hdpi in general..it has to be emoji or something to that effect. i still find it odd it runs fine on mine and the nexus but wont for you and you're using aokp now.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Does this one work?
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Note no luck:(

I am on my way home right now when I get there I will attach the mms.apk I use
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
man i dont get it!!

do you have a workinf mms.apk based off xhdpi?
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I'll be home in a few, I'll upload the mms.apk from the AOKP rom I use and the one I downloaded from the link you posted
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:

The one above that you pulled from your AOKP build...Does it have emoji support?
[Android Themes] dadoc04:
no luck for me either... running cm9 on e4gt

my version does have the built in emoji support
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Not sure, is there an option in settings for that?
[Android Themes] dadoc04:
yea... if u go into messaging, hit menu and scroll down to "extra settings"... if available it says "Enable Emojis"
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Just reinstalled on my phone and

Yes the option is there
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
so its not the emoji support..the only thing left is the fact that yours is hdpi and mine is xhdpi

im still at a loss though and ive asked others..
[Android Themes] dadoc04:
DSL, thats gotta be it... im on HDPI too
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
The mms.apk it's from the other thread and you said it based xhdpi?:confused:
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
yeah that one didnt have emoji support though..his new one does and i bet it wont work now.

i gather neither of you can decompile your mms.apk?
[Android Themes] dadoc04:
DSL,

can you try and make the background on this livewallpaper all black....

http://www.mediafire.com/?sdqcwjigein2l7y

no rush at all.... thanks in advance

nope... i dont do any of that stuff. lol :o
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Nope :( I got a wife and kids, never get enough free time to mess with, I nearly have enough time add themes manually with 7 zip

edit:

Probably dumb question but You can't just add black backgrounds to the mms.apk and contacts.apk though zip themer?

v6 must be on the way.....ur too quiet DSL

[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Awesome job so far on v5! A couple of things I noticed so far (This is on my HD2) is the numbers in the dialer are off just a bit, and in contacts (People) the background is that ugly white lol. The people who's pic I have show up and also the icon for those I don't have a pic for, but the rest is white and the text for the names don't show unless I press on one. Also the percentage doesn't show in the battery icon in the bar, And the SMS/MMS background as y'all have been talking about.

These are things you are probably aware of, I just don't have time to search the thread right now... getting late. Just wanted to report what i've seen so far. But like I said... Awesome job so far and looks like i'll be buying another theme from you soon as it's ready for the Play Store!:D

Edit: I will be trying this on my G2x soon and will report on that also.

Edit2: Screenshot below...
[Android Themes] vinal:
You need to add apks to the zip you create. MrDSL attached zip of them a few pages back.
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Thanks.... I'll look for that! Should I undo the theme and reflash the new .zip with the added apks?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
its a bit harder then that..without the theme engine it really limits me because i have to edit the apks directly to get everything i want so unless you're on the same rom as me its hard to see all the changes..i still havent figured out why mms doesnt work for you guys..

i actually had it not work for me on the last rom i was using and it doesnt work on aokp either..it works on cm9 and liquidsmooth so im not sure whats up with that really.

even some of my own apks like contacts and phone are giving me issues..its weird and ill be glad when the theme engine is there to work with.

when i can directly edit the systemui and framework files this is what i can achieve.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hlppl05ukg1uevu/snap20120425_111813.jpg

if someone wants to attach their framework-res and systemui ill take a look.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
here is also a newer blacked Gmail with a animated notification..will only work as a system file. you must be running ICS for this to work.
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
That is badass! But if I replaced the apks in the .zip with the ones you posted and want to flash that, do I need to undo the original or can I just flash over it?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
if they're named the same then just flash over.
[Android Themes] Jeffro64:
Kewl... i'll give that a try!:D

EDIT: That worked! All the add-ons are themed now and I'm not sure how but it fixed the phone dialer to where it looks right now! Thanks DSL!! And soon as they get the theme engine working again and this ICS Mixer is on the Play Store i'll be buying it!

The GMail is AWESOME!!!!
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Hey DSL you can't just modify the mms.apk from the link you posted earlier since it's working on other builds make the changes you want to it?

I'll be home in a few and upload my.system and framework apk

I dont know what the deal is to be honest..i dont think its on my end though..something is going on because it happens to me on certain roms but usually using cm9 i have no problems with custom apks

they need to install the theme engine asap
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
I like cm9 but AOKP has more features right now, plus they have Swagger mode.

It sucks that on the Vibrant CM is having problems with the 911 emergency calling so they advice not to use it until its resolved :(
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
AOKP just has a bunch of options i never use but my main complaint against it is i cant use modified apks..With cm9 they work fine but not with AOKP..

whats swagger mode?

Yea, it basically does the same as Zip Themer right?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
yes but it does it on the fly...i have a theory

see when i ran AOKP any apks i modified and tried to use they disappeared...now if i use metamorph then it actually worked..

your mms.apk has emojii suppoort right?
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Yea, I'm not using the one that came stock. I'm using the one from that link you posted
[Android Themes] mexicandroid:
Yea, but I'm not using the one that came stock even though that also had emoji support. I'm using the one from that link you posted

I have sgs2 with aokp if u want me to test anything....?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
what im going to post to test will at least need a mms.apk that has emoji support since thats what i pulled it from..

just run the metamorph..you may need to apply it a couple times for it to work..then reboot..

Thank God for Nand, Wow i have no clue WTF i am doing. hahaha. i got boot-loops trying the Lock mixer. So i placed the Mixer_lock_etc.zip in the root of the SD Card and the i tried to use zipthemer to create the flashable zip and it did and also created the undo. I'm using Amon RA while trying to flash it. is that right? Maybe some one can dumb it down for me a bit more? :D
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
that lockscreen will be the death of me!! haha

I wish the theme chooser supported those things..You should be able to fire up Zipthemer and have it build you flashable zips..Just make sure you select the correct phone in the zipthemer settings..I have not used amon ra but it may need edify..
[Android Themes] danielt14:
Right on i did not look in the settings for my phone maybe thats why it got FUBAR. Thanks man this theme is AWESOME!!!!

[Android Themes] MrDSL:
black box? huh?
[Android Themes] danielt14:
Yeah take alook at that screen shot and at the bottom its a black box there is no graphics like yours in the OP. im wondering why?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
what launcher is that? my screenshots have Launcher Pro..
[Android Themes] danielt14:
im sorry what Launcher? Im just installing the .apk with Astro(free) then going to the Theme Chooser in CM7 and applying your Mixer and rebooting. Is that wrong?

If you are talking about the screen shot app its ShootMe.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Mixer will change each app differently..I use Launcher Pro and in the Mixer theme I have the dock set to a transparent image thats why my dock is transparent..

Since you have not installed a launcher I am going to assume you're using the default launcher which is ADW if you're running CM7..I don't have that app themed the same as launcher pro..

follow?
[Android Themes] danielt14:
Yeah i get ya now... ok let me look into launcher pro, and i am using ADW ok let me see what that does.
[Android Themes] danielt14:
ok i installed launcher pro and that fixed it. Thanks. Is there any setting that i can change in the Launcher Pro?
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
it has many settings..check'em out but you might just want to look at some launcher pro topics..its very popular..
