Heads up for everyone.

I've frozen development of this theme for the time being until I can get my XOOM updated so that I can start fresh with 3.1 (and hopefully have it done by the time the WiFi update gets pushed.)

At the moment, I have the update.zip waiting to flash, but I'm not doing anything yet since it may have a locked bootloader (still unconfirmed.)

Also, Sangreal. I'm having a hard time getting Honeytool working correctly. I might be doing it wrong since the only thing I can get to work is the .9 pngs. The rest of the apks won't recompile correctly. :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcarrion78:
From some of the posts I've seen about the update it doesn't lock ur bootloader. But that's just what I've seen haven't actually updated mines yet. I don't see why they would push the face that the bootloader is unlockable and then end up locking it afterwards. Plus I thought google had final say on the bootloader being unlockable since they allowed motorola to put out the first device with HC..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
It doesn't lock the bootloader. I'm on 3.1, rooted, and already ported parts of this theme for my xoom

Please detail the issues you are having in my thread and I will look into them for you. It sounds like you might be trying to compile an apk that was decompiled using an earlier or different tool
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I tried it with the stock apks found in the stock system.img file, so it should have worked. Am I supposed to have the .odex file in there with it?

Also, I'm now updated. I can already see that they've added some new stuff to the mix, like some extra images for the WiFi status bar indicators.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
No, that isn't necessary. I would need to see the errors you are getting

Yeah, I had to change the wifi activity indicators because it was driving me crazy by flashing blue. I'm no artist though
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm in the process of extracting the new 3.1 framework-res.apk to see how it goes.

:) lol. I'll fix it. I'll have to come up with something that looks Gingerbread-ish since these indicators are new in this version of Android.

[edit]

Everything worked just fine with the new update (at least for decomp. Haven't tried recomping yet. Gonna try to change a few things first. I guess there's something up with the stock images stickied at the top of the General forum.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Now that I have 3.1, I've just about got everything done and will be releasing an update for 3.1 3G XOOMs tomorrow (I wanted to do it tonight, but I still have a couple of things to do and I'm tired and need some sleep.)

For now, here's some of what you can expect in the new release.

-Updates to the SystemUI.

*White clock in the status bar

*White text instead of gray in the pop-up clock, date, battery info and wifi (not pictured here)

*Green glow while moving stuff around on the homescreen

*Green GOOGLE logo

-Bug fixes

*Cutoffness that was happening with the dock clock is fixed.

*Also fixed the lock screen clock getting cut off, as well.

-Changes to the browser

-Completed launcher customization

*Green glow around offscreen widgets and apps

*Fixed a force close that was being caused by a typo'd .9 png

Most of these fixes were only made possible by Sangreal06's hnytool utility, so if you like this or any other XOOM theme, please visit his thread and thank him for his work in helping themers bring the XOOM community better themes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vitosans:
Any chance the wifi version will make it out in the morning as well?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Might be closer to afternoon, but first I need a WiFi owner with stock 3.1 to grab these files for me, please.

-framework-res.apk from the /system/framework folder

From the /system/app folder:

-SystemUI.apk

-Launcher2.apk

-DeskClockGoogle.apk

-GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

-Music2.apk [EDIT] Never mind. This system app is overridden by the new music beta, which will require a little extra time to retheme and should work for both wifi and 3G models. Releasing the 3G version without it and will reupload after I get it fixed.

-Browser.apk

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Bumpity bump for Update release. See OP.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
So this is not flashable through Clockwork?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Not at this time. I don't have the tiamat kernel or clockwork or an extra SD card to even begin to figure out how to set it all up. But, if anyone with the knowhow feels like doing it themselves, they'd have my thanks. :cool:

Plus, it only takes a minute if you know adb commands.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Worked like a charm, thanks! My top left Google and voice icon icon didn't change. There is a new notification disabled sign in bottom bar that wasn't skinned, and settings icons didn't change and data arrow on signal meter. Besides that I love it. I was coming from Bigdx and retained those icons and Google search.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I left the notifications disabled icon as is since it doesn't exist in GB. It looks fine to me.

I've noted in the readme already that the png for the google voice search icon eludes me. If anyone knows where it is, please, do tell.

The data signal is being worked on. I need to figure out how to get it to align properly before I can skin it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
GoogleQuickSearchBox\res\drawable-mdpi\ic_btn_speak_now.png unless you guys are talking about something else?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Nope. Not that one. Just tried it.

Anyone with a WiFi XOOM on 3.1 able to pull the stock files for me yet? [EDIT] Nevermind. I just got a PM with them in there.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
Weird. That is what I see defined in GoogleQuickSearchBox\res\layout\search_plate.xml

I guess that layout must be for something else
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rdillz:
Great Theme! Wish I could keep it, but I can't stand the Google search not being themed. I will be back when its done.

My bad, it is themed, just not the mic which I can live with. Awesome work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
it could be framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi\ic_voice_search.png and ic_voice_search_api_holo_light.png

based on framework-res\res\layouts\search_bar.xml
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
My Google search didn't get themed. What should I do?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Perhaps reinstall the apk for it. What method are you using to change out the apks?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Root explorer. Though I could with adb. Which one controls the Google search?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Hmm. I do it with rootexplorer, too (just because it's more convenient for installing one at a time and testing from the folder I'm working out of).

Try this. In root explorer, navigate to your system/app folder and scroll down to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk and look at the date. It should say:

14 May 11 16:21:00 and should be 157.43kb

If it's older than that, then it didn't take and you should drag it over again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] TaIz82:
Guys this theme works on my US wifi xoom...if you used BRD HC 3.1 update :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Got it. Thanks. I totally skipped that one. My bad. Much better now.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Sending this from my XOOM so I can snap a photo of the new ThumbKeyboard theme. Will post it soon.

[EDIT]

DOWNLOAD - Should work on all XOOM models.

This is a themed version of the beta, which expires in a week, but I will theme the market version when it comes out, too.

To use, just install the app and go to settings>Language & Input and select Configure Input Methods. Check Thumb Keyboard 4.0 Beta, then click settings underneath it. Go to Theme and select Gingerbread. Now go to Keyboard Dimensions and select Test Keyboard Height. You will be prompted to select your screen size. Select 10' tablet. The original keyboard will pop up, so click the little keyboard icon in the status bar to select the thumb keyboard. Enjoy the new theme!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vitosans:
Confirmed this theme worked on my US WIFI only... not a problem at all that I know of!

This is a very sweet theme, now only if we could get the blue version of this theme.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Nice keyboard.

Can you check something? My mouse arrow is gone. The mouse connects and if I guess where the arrow would be, and click, it works, but its a guess because there is no arrow!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I just checked. The pointer arrow is there and themed. Not sure what the deal is. Did it work before?

Also, you guys are brave to try this out on a WiFi XOOM, but if it works... :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jgrizz:
does this theme have the desktop ua string mod?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Yes the mouse pointer worked before. I've rebooted several times and will try and see if I missed anything.

Where is the mouse pointer at? So I can just re-apply that one.

And this keyboard is sick. Way less lag than beta 3 and I am digging the gb theme over cloud city.

Edit: I hooked up a USB mouse and its a no go too.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Strange.

The mouse pointer is in framework-res.apk. To be specific, it's in res/drawable-mdpi/pointer_arrow.png. You should be able to navigate to it in rootexplorer and open it in the image viewer.

Also, how would I fix the UA string? I would love to add that feature.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] yooper:
Having a Wifi Xoom and reading that a couple of you have successfully installed the theme makes me want to do it too. BUT - I'm such a worry wart.

I'm thinking if the developer of the theme specifies he needs more time to get specific files in order for the Wifi version, he needs them for a reason. I'm certainly not "techie" enough to understand why it appears to work on Wifi models or why the OP states 3G only.

There has got to be a reason the OP specifies 3G only, no?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm actually trying to figure out the best course of action for porting them over. I'm pretty sure that the system apps would all work just fine, but I'm unsure about framework-res.apk. I have a PM sent out to bignadad asking how he did it so I can get it right.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vitosans:
No need to worry:

1st backup your xoom, run the commands that the op said in reverse, meaning do a pull instead of a push so that you backup the files your going to over write:

like so:

mkdir backup_3.1_stock
cd backup_3.1._stock
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk .
adb pull /system/app/Browser.apk .
adb pull /system/app/Launcher2.apk .
adb pull /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk .
adb pull /system/app/GoogleDeskClock.apk .

***Your mileage may vary, I am not responsible for anything going south, etc. etc.

This way you have a backup of any of the apk's your going to over write so if your not happy w/ the theme on WIFI you can restore.

I have been running it for about 1.5 hours and I have not run in to any issues.

Like I said above your mileage may vary, but my own personal testing I have had no issues.

Good luck.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
Great work, R2. I do see the pointer_arrow.png, and open it and see it is outlined same color as theme. Could it be that this should go in other folders as well? I too can randomly click and cause an effect on the screen.

This is a great theme, btw. Easy, understandable instructions. Thanks.

BTW-typo in your manual ADB directions - one of the filenames you reference is backwards - can't remember, but you may have google*.* where it is clockgoogle*.* or something like that.

Edit: BTW, do you have any idea what changed between 3.0x and 3.1 that prevents one from lowering the screen density? I used to have mine much lower and loved it. But, when you add the line to build.prop (as it is not there to begin with), and reboot, you lose the whole Xoom experience - it goes back to a 2.x device, with menu bar/clock/notifications at top, no control buttons (home, back, etc.), useless. Just wondering - don't want to sidetrack this thread - could you PM me if you have any ideas? tia
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Are you not seeing the arrow? I have tried everything to get the arrow for the mouse to show. I even pushed with adb and no go. I re-installed other theme and got it back, but lost browser.apk, so it was still themed green. Restored a nandroid and gtg. Wish I could get that one thing figured out
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcarrion78:
Still no wifi only release??? What files do u need?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
Mouse point works - original pointer_arrow.png

I got the mouse pointer to work by inserting the original pointer_arrow.png and pointer_arrow_icon.xml into the modified framework-res.apk. I can post a link to this file, but want arrtoodeetoo's permission before I post it to his thread.

Basically, (using Windows) open the original framework-res.apk file with 7-zip. Grab the pointer_arrow.png file from \framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\ - save it to a temp area on your drive. Then open the modified framework-res.apk and paste the .png file into the same location within this file - then adb push this file to the xoom, and reboot. You will need to set up your email/twitter/etc. accounts again.

I'm not sure if the .xml file is needed as they appear to be the same.

arrtoodeetoo - it appears the xoom doesn't like your pointer icon for some reason.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Sweet! I will take a look at it when I get home. That seems like a simple fix and I miss this theme.

Where do I get the original pointer.PNG? Do I need to pull the framework-res.apk from my xoom and get it there? Or is it in one of the stock images?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
I pulled it from backup copy before I installed the theme. Of course, if your xoom has the mod'd framework...apk file, you need to grab the original and get the image from it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14212887/pointer_arrow.png >> this is the original...

I tried editing the original pointer - from stock framework...apk - however I lost the transparency - I kind of like this, as you can always 'see' the pointer! ;)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14212887/screen_20110515_1404.png - too funny.

edit: OK - mod'd the cursor to enable xparency:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14212887/screen_20110515_1432.png
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Got the arrow. Installed 7-zip. I extracted the framework-res.apk to a temp file. I wasn't able to make the changes without extracting. Opening Archive with 7-zip wouldn't let me do it.

I pasted the new arrow in the extracted files. Now I have a folder with the extracted framework-res.apk and not sure how to get it into a package I can push with adb.

Can I just put the res folder back into the framework-res.apk? or do I have to repackage it? or something? very new.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Strange.

Ok, so I went in and edited the new one. I was using the arrow from 3.0.1, but I don't see why that would make a difference. Still, here is the new one. Can someone with a mouse drop it in and see if it works?

pointer_arrow.png
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
It looks like you had it set to indexed color when you edited it. You have to set it to RGB mode if it isn't already.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I'm trying. But how do you drop it in? Do you have to extract framework-res.apk with 7-zip or can I just add to archive? Then push with adb.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Since it's a system app, there's no need to sign it or extract it or anything. It's as simple as opening the apk in something like WinRAR (which is what I use personally) and navigating to the folder and dropping the file in there to overwrite the original one, then drop the apk onto your XOOM or adb it over.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
Right-click framework-res.apk, select 7zip, then Open Archive - this allows you to paste any files or drag/drop into the .apk file.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
So I open it with WinRAR and when I drop it into folder, or try to paste it I get an error. Failed to create ! Cannot create __rzi_42.4073552

. I also get the error when I try it with 7-zip.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I right click on framework-rez.apk and open with 7-zip, navigate to the res/drawable-mdpi folder and when I drop the new pointer icon in, I get an error stating Cannot create file when file already exists. I try and delete file and it goes bonkers. Can't drag and drop into drawable-mdpi
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
Send me your pointer-arrow.png file and I'll embed it in the framework file and send it back to you. I have no idea why you're having those problems. what version of 7zip? I am using 4.65 on windows 7 32bit.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Sent you a PM

Edit: Ethan sent me a framework-res.apk with the arrow you provided and it worked. Got the themed green pointer now and all is good. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
can someone explain this step?

"-Buttons folder

8 Circle Launcher icons (Set them in the circle launcher settings by selecting Custom Icon)"

How do you set the theme icons for the apps?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Those aren't for apps. They are for the ever so popular and extremely useful (especially for Tablets) Circle Launcher Widgets. There's also a lite (free) version, but it's missing some of the features that make it worth having. It's worth the dollar and a half for sure.

Also, glad to hear the new arrow pointer is working. I've added it into the files so it should be working right in the next update.

Speaking of the next update, does anyone know how I can edit the UAstring for the desktop? I really want that feature included.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] :
In browser, go to address bar and type about:debug. Then settings, development. Is that what your asking? But I'm not sure if that sticks through reboots. Plus it is recommended that u go back to address bar and run about:debug to turn off the debug feature.

On circle launcher, I see where u can set up horizontal , is that where? Also when u click icon does it expand and then u click the app? I like your photo with ur icons, but don't like that u are presented with the contents of the launcher.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
There is a way to make the UAstring stick by editing a file in framework-res or something (I think. Maybe it's in the actual Browser.apk). Just need someone with the know-how to tell me what to change.

Also, on the circle launchers, to set a new icon go to Launcher Icon and select Custom Icon, then select an icon from the list (it needs to be on your XOOM, of course.) If you're having trouble getting to the settings, simply open the circle by clicking the widget and hold in the center to bring up the settings menu. In order to make the changes stick, you have to hit the back button to back out and not home.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joshbroton:
Wow I'm Dumb

In a moment of pure idiocy, I didn't think to pull all the original files before I pushed these files to my Xoom. Anyone have them for 3.1 that I can download in case I ever need to go back to "stock"?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Here ya' go. Assuming you're a 3G XOOM.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
The default UA String is in framework-res.apk\res\values\strings.xml

The string name is web_user_agent or something like that
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jloya:
confirmed the 3g version works on wifi xooms that were updated to 3.1 with BDR'S zips.....pushed it right now with no issue and it is loookin ggooooooooodddd
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bazar617:
Hey arrtoodeetoo, I gotta ask you question... *nevermind, found it!

Again, great looking theme you got there. Gonna put any others out?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
downloading this now. Maybe it was posted in the thread but can I get a link to your wallpaper used in the first thread?

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Wallpaper is in the root of the zip file.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
Cool thanks, and I know this is probably in the thread but is the ua string modified for desktop in the frame work for the browser?

Thanks again
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joshbroton:
Thank you so much!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
loving this theme! One thing I noticed and it is super small but the upload download arrows in the wifi icon are not centered ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Stealyourface:
No wifi version yet :(
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
It's coming soon. I was able to fix something last night that I was wanting to fix before porting it over, so I should have something tomorrow or Tuesday depending on what real life throws at me tomorrow. I will need someone with a WiFi version who's willing to be a guinea pig (and who knows how to adb in case something goes wrong) and test for me. It should be someone who hasn't flashed using BRD's method and is running stock WiFi 3.1.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Stealyourface:
I had stock 3.1. But I've since unlocked, rooted, flashed a kernal and whatnot. So I don't know if I can help.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
see this thread for modifying the framework to set the ua string as desktop thanks

[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
That post has a slight error on how to change UA string. This one fixes it.

sorry for the confusion

[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
I have a modified framework-res.apk with the modified UA string for this theme, it works on my device but this is the first time I've decompiled and tweaked a framework. If anybody is feeling adventurous, pm me and I'll email you my file to test. Use at your own risk.

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
I fixed the UAstring a few days ago. It will be in the next update. I also fixed the WiFi upload-download symbols (they still need a little bit of tweaking on the graphics side, but I finally got them to line up.)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
ok cool. I'm playing around with a flashable cwm zip file for this as well. I have one working but I'm hesitant to post as I'm really new at this and would hate to bork someone's xoom :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mcarrion78:
hit me up. i didnt flash the update using brd's method. im willing to test just about anything
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Awesome. I'll be PMing you soon. Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kev0153:
Here is a cwm flashable version. This should work on 3G xooms running 3.1 and wifi xooms running 3.1 that were updated uisng BRD's method (this is my situation)

I've also modified the framework-res UA setting to open webpages in desktop mode. Make a backup before trying as usual.

When arrtoodeetoo releases the update, I'll update the cwm file.

Note that this doesn't include the wallpaper, the clock widget or the circle lanuncher icons. You'll need to extract those from the zip file, this just installs the system files and fonts.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6542496/honeybread_cwm.zip

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bazar617:
Let me know if you need another WiFi tester, I converted over to fix my GPS, went thru PublicAnimals method. Also, if y'all need some help with getting the CWM .zips to flash correctly let me know, I've got my themes in them and I'm pretty fluent in getting them published now.

And there are ways to get the Clock Widget, Circle Launcher icons and Wallpaper in the update as well... Put the clock widget (I assume it's an apk? if not then don't do this) in the /system/app folder inside the .zip, and the icons and wallpaper create a new folder in the root of the .zip (where the Meta-INF and system folders are) called sdcard, then another folder inside that called w/e you want (go for GBtheme for now, doubt anyone else has that folder on their Xoom) and you put the icons and wallpaper in there, and it'll flash to the Xoom... pretty easy. but like I said, let me know if you need help or a tester.
