I want to learn how to theme. I've read this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916814

I Think i understand the process of editing images, I'm not a noob when it comes to photoshop, but i get a little frustrated when it comes to the topic of signing. I have a windows vista system, and section two of this https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en states that signing in vista causes bootloops unless you take other steps. The directions for XP seem so straight forward, is there a way to sign without all the hassle that vista seems to cause?

I've been told that if you use another theme for a base, resigning is not needed. I'm a noob at this also, really wanting to learn.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
When it comes to basic themeing, you don't need to sign anything....its a matter of extracting and re-zipping the apk without signing it so it keeps its original signature...then you would add all your themed apks in a CWM flashable zip(that isn't signed either).....use APK Manager....it works wonders for theme devs
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaut:
Thanks man,

If i'm understanding you correctly you are basically saying that if i take from an existing theme i don't have to sign. but i create my own theme based off of a rom i need to sign it?

EDIT: nevermind, i mixed both responses up and with my question. i'm a little off today
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Ok...let me try to clarify this...if you're new to theme developing, get "signing" out of your head

You would only need to sign an apk if it was being installed...

When you theme, nothing is being "installed", all of the original apks that are in your /system/ directory are replaced with your themed ones while flashing....

YOU NEVER SIGN AN APK THAT IS BEING SENT TO /system/ DIRECTORY

In reality, no themed apks are signed, because they are sent to the /system/ directory....its just a matter of extracting the stock apk, make your mods, and re-zip. As a said above, if you use Apk Manager, this will be a breeze

What I do when i want to change something... example I made my own lock screen.

If it was already explained how to do this... im sorry for wasting your and mine time... I only have about 5 minutes so I cant read everything before i post this... but this is what i do when i want to edit the theme.

I put the rom on my computer and extract it... locate the files I need to edit, (they are alwas going to be in the res folder of an extracted .apk and then in a drawable folder.) I take the files i want and I edit them. put them back on my phone... copy the framework-res.apk from systems>framework>framework-res.apk and then put it in a folder i created on my sdcard.

Using Astro File Manager I select my edited files and copy them.... then click on framework-res.apk and select browse and past my edited files into the framework-res.apk then using root explorer I then copy my edited framework-res.apk and paste it back in system>framework>framework-res.apk

Android 2.2.1? I guess your build number is 1.84xxxx is it? (Check at Setting >> About Phone >> Software Information)

If yes, then you have to downgrade your phone to be lower than 1.72xxxxx first in order to use Visionary+. Mine when I first bought it is already 1.32xxxxx. So I do not need to downgrade and can straight use Visionary+.

Hi guys,

I recently installed Oxygen ROM and used the HBOOT image for this specific rom from AlphaRev's websitre, when i S-OFF-ed the phone. However now i want to try other roms like Cyanogen or Redux. The problem i'm facing is that both require to change the partition table size. How exactly can i do that?

Is it enough just to get the Cyanogen specific Hboot from AlphaRev and then flash it? Or there are other steps that need to be done.

Thanks in advance

so i've searched for a white notification bar and i cant seem to find one for this device.

i tried to just invert the colors on a black bar theme, but it didnt do anything to the bar and just made all the icons black(and invisible).

anybody know anything about a white bar?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
So.. I'm guessing you already know how to properly modify the files for your ROM. The file you want to look for to modify and make white is "statusbar_background.png" ...Some roms this file name will also contain a ".9" in the name.

If this is the case, the .9 pngs HAVE to be modified a certain way, as the .9 means that they contain special instructions, for text, icons, and stretching. If you are not sure how to fix a .9 png, you can send me the file. I'll make it white, and send it back.

Actually this month I have not tethered at all. This is quite strange. I stream music with Pandora but that has only gotten me to around 4-5 gb a month
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
You can't get to 117 terabytes through tethering. It's impossible. Do the math; 117 terabytes in one month would require downloading @ 360 megabits (or 45 megabytes) per second, 24 hours per day, for 30 days.

You can't even copy data to/from your SD card on your phone through a USB cable that fast, lol. It's clearly a mistake, you may want to call Verizon before their computer automatically sends you a bill for more than the GDP of our entire country.
