I ported it before he posted 7.0. I don't think there are any changes to it. Just the fact that his is now built on JVO base.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Yes that's the issue.... its not re-done for 5.5 yet. I will be doing the nest I can to get these updated but it is my sons birthday this weekend so I'm busy with that. I'm gonna try to do at least one tonight. Probably shoot for the gingers first and then do PaulDiddys last cause many are asking for less transparency so I need to redo some stuff.

Sometimes I feel like I"m doing more theming than porting...lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
And so everyone here knows... my revert file that I include in the first post is a non wipe of all /system files. So if you load the wrong version theme or load one from the i9000 forums like you shouldn't and have issues... you can just use the revert. It should bring you back to the satae just after flashing 5.5 but it won't delete anything.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Flashed 5.5 ROM. Loaded Xcal kernel. TiBu restored. Flashed MattedBlue theme. After reboot, found all my apps were gone.

Lesson learned.

Make sure you are on a CWM3 kernel before flashing a theme. Lol.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] F1reEng1neRed:
Went you went to settings-->applications they were gone or were they just gone from your app drawer?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] PriTel03:
Along the same lines, once it's ported for 5.5, is it dangerous to flash the extras that PaulDiddy has on his thread? E.g. dialer with ascending tone, notification bar with clock, or even his themed Facebook.apk? Hope your son has a happy birthday!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
All gone in Settings>Applications and even on TiBu list. Now that I made a Nandroid backup I'll probably try it again when I feel like flashing another theme just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I'd have to look at the files... but some could work... the dialer will probably gain the video call button for example but work fine...... facebook should be fine.... I think the notification bar is systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk... not sure which one without looking but it wouldn't.. I'd have to look more into it though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Doesn't make sense since it doesn't flash any system files nor set any permissions.

Did you flash 5.5 while on xcals kernel?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Red Gingerbread updated.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Yep. Flashed 5.5 with Xcal. Rebooted. Then went back into Recovery, which was now default cwm3, and then flashed 5.5 again per Cezar's instructions. You know the rest of the story.

I said the same as you when it happened. No sense at all. Now that I have a back up and back on Xcal's kernel, I'll flash the revert and try flashing the theme again...tomorrow. I'm hittin' the sack. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
That was the first problem. You needed to flash the kernel with Odin to get cwm3 BEFORE flashing continuum 5.5.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] leoriver42:
I really like Continuum 5.5 except for some menus having white background and the drop-down menu having no transparency. At least the colored settings are there! But any ideas, how could I get the default drop-down menu from 5.4?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
According to Cezar, I should have been OK, if I followed these instructions.

EDIT: Flashed revert 5.5 --- all went well. Reflashed MattedBlues --- all went well. I am not sure what happened the first time. I can only report what happened to me, and everything bad always happens to me. I am special that way. :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] olo567:
Hey shoman, great collection here, really appreciate the work.

I tried flashing the Green Gingerbread theme over a fresh 5.5 install from CWM3, had already wiped cache/davlik. The script said mounting system, extracting files, then rebooted the phone. Don't think it finished. Any idea what might be the issue?

Edit: Read back and saw this behavior is expected. However, some of the indicators at the top flash between gray and green, is that indicative of something?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] milniko:
Any chance Fresh GingerBlue Port, to be adapted for Continuum 5.5 ??

[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:
As always, thank you shoman for the update!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
No you are totally wrong. Download the version I have. That is the one made for Continuum 5.5.

The version 7.0 just adds native JVO for stock JVO. There isn't any difference between 6.1 and 7.0 for me when porting to Continuum. Please don't post info you are not 100% on as others that may read this... followed what you said and broke their Continuum.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
That's part of the script written for flashing the themes. All the themes do this... no worries. Saves you from having to go back and reboot manually.

The indicators are a feature for GB. When they are green they are connected to the google servers.... if they are gray.... then they are not. I have thought about changing them so the signal bars don't change but just the date indicators do. IE wifi or data icons. That way people who don't use data still get the colored bars.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] F1reEng1neRed:
What does 7.0 break?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Anything that is in Cezars log for addons and mods to the framework that is not in the theme gets broken.

I should have just left out 6.1 so you wouldn't be confused.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Sqb:
Thank you to everyone for all your hard work. The icing on the cake!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] F1reEng1neRed:
No problem, it was a little confusing. I thought I would break it flashing the 6.1 since the author's thread said 6.1 was for JVH and 7.0 was for JVO. I actually flashed the 6.1 from the OP first and thought I messed up and I then quickly flashed the 5.5 revert and flashed the 7.0. I didn't have any issues after flashing 7.0, but since you said it wasn't ported for the cappy, I did the revert again. I'm really waiting for blue gingerbread or gingerblue. I was running PDiddy for awhile, but it just wasn't doing it for me anymore.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I'm gonna start on it now... hopefully I'll have it done in a hour if I can stay up... if not... it will be in the AM. I got involved in something else so it delayed me starting in the gingers....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] F1reEng1neRed:
Awesome. No rush though. In the meantime, I might give mattedblues a try. Thanks for getting these themes ported over.

I would suggest clearing partition cache and dalvik, flashing 5.5 revert, trying again and posting results. Keep in mind first boot may take several minutes.

Do I need to flash 5.5 revert If I'm currently on v5.5 stock theme?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] topiratiko:


THANK YOU!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Are you flashing the file in this thread or are you going to the authors thread and using that one? Cause mine works just fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
No, not if you are on a fresh flash of 5.5. If you flashed any themes then yes.

Nope... it all remains

Anyone locate any black/white swype themes?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Something like this?

This is Swype 2.70 version layout, but I can't figure out how to change the default swype trace color from blue to a customized one. I found this out the hard way when I was trying to make a GingerBlue and GingerRed version and a blue trace color just doesn't go well with red. LOL. It's not in the usual place I know it to be, so if anyone else knows how, please let me know.

However, I have found that Swype 2.29 version works well and that I can change the default swype trace color in this one. In fact, I'm using my MattedBlues theme on it (see my post in the Continuum theme thread) , all I have to do is change to black and white for you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brianray14:
Yeah!! That swype is perfect for my theme. If it's not too much trouble for you, i'd love to have it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
No prob. I haven't test run 2.70 yet, so would 2.29 be ok? If so I'll post a link later tonight out early tomorrow. Got dragged out of the house just now. Lol.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] brianray14:
Cool!!No worries.. 2.29 works just fine. looking forward to it :o)

[Captivate Themes and Apps] bullinthechinashop:
I'd prefer two circles around the battery icon but I definitely agree about the transparencies.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bullinthechinashop:
Yeah you have to use the themes that were designed for 5.5. Any other theme will (at best) cause problems. (I'm speaking from experience here :) )
[Captivate Themes and Apps] StunGod:
Loving the Honeycomb theme - the blue is nice and smooth and the dialpad is gorgeous. No lag, no problems, and looks good with LauncherPro.

Thanks for the work!

I'm testing it now. It's nearly ready, just need to add themed market and possibly MMS.

Will also have new updates for HoneyComb and Muvesvur Black.

GingerBlue updated to v5.5. Muvesvur Black has also received some intensive updates.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] implodeme:
I tried 4 of the themes here and two had errors but the errors were not mapped/labeled. error %somethingobscure#% with an OK button.

Another caused errors with just unlocking the phone as the Launcher attempted to load and listing contacts would fail.

Using the theme restore wipes my contacts/messages where apps seem to remain intact. This is not ideal when just changing the theme.

The theme files i have are from 5/22 around 10PM

SteelBlue_4.13.5_JVH_theme

Red_Gingerbread_C5.5

GingerFIRE-Blue_RC2_C5.5

Gingerbread6.1_C5.5
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
You are doing something wrong. I have flashed them many many times and have no errors. You sure you are running continuum 5.5 and have used my downloads not the ones from the authors of the themes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bullinthechinashop:
Try downloading the themes & 5.5 restore again. Maybe you just got a bad download.

Also make sure you're using the themes that are designed for Continuum 5.5. Using other themes will (at best) break stuff.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sstarre:
Can you post MD5 Checksums ?

Shoman...

Great work..love the themes.

Would it be possible to post the MD5 checksums for the downloads ?

I use them always when downloading ROMS from Icezar and eXistZ and have had a couple of instances where I detected corrupt files. I go so far as to copy them to my SD card and then use a MD5 checker to read the checksum back from the SD. It may make for less "I got xxx error? What do I do?" questions.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] deltatyger:
Hey Vivified, thanks for great and awesome theme ports! Just any possible way to set the sub menu text color to white to match the Muvesvur? The samsung blue doesn't really fit with that theme IMO. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
I will look into this.

Edit: I changed the "current issues" in each of the themes I maintain to "current issues/to do" to list out what I have plans for so you guys can get an idea of what's being planned/worked on with those themes.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] olo567:
Not sure if it's been fixed since I downloaded but the version number in the file name is the same. Using Green Ginger theme, the progress bar used in the market has one frame off. It appears "progressbar_indeterminate4.png" in framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ doesn't match up with animation of the other 3.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Market wasn't changed. Thats the version included with c5.5. I wouldn't worry.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] yahooserious:
Thanks you guys in the Cappy forums with your tips and lessons I follow here I have become comfortable flashing custom ROMs, Modems, Kernels and the like.

Im still very green when it comes to themes and I have just flashed the Honeycomb port to my C5.5.

Since I could not find much information regarding the steps to take to successfully set a theme pack I still have some questions.

Firstly I DLed the Honeycomb.zip to my internal storage and flashed from CWM. There has definitely been a change so my instinct to flash CWM has drawn in my favor.

After a Reboot a few minutes later I tried to browse the HC.zip to install some of the .apk's that are within. Using FILE EXPERT>Package installer I clicked on the apk and received parse errors.

Are these .apk's installed 'all in one' with the CWM zip update or do I need to manually install them post CWM?

I like the looks of the big overlapping time/date/charge info shown in the summary pic and thought it must have been a digital clock i had previously installed/ seen in my widgets options whilst populating my home screens. This may not be the case as I click a blank spot on my HS and choose widgets and 1. the method of selection is different from what I remember seeing those clock widgets before.. 2. the options are not scroll-able across the bottom anymore but are now populated in a popup window.. and no clock widgets to be found.

I apologize in advance but is this because of the launcher I am using? (com.android launcher / probably GB)

Where can I download the clock/calendar widget like the one shown in the pic?

I read the advice given to return to 'stock' theme before flashing further into theme-ville so I downloaded the Cont 5.5 'stock zip' and placed that on my internal same time I put the Honeycomb.zip.

Is there any further advice I should take with me? Will all the contuu 5.5 themes be like this one with a singular .zip package?

If the Honeycomb theme is not optimized for my GB launcher then what launcer is it optimized for?

Thanks for the help duders!

PS: Vivified / Shoman could you add perfect keyboard support for the Honeycomb theme?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] olo567:
Huh? I wasn't saying the market changed. I was explaining that the system framework's progress bar animation (which happens to be used by the market) doesn't look right because one of the 4 frames wasn't themed. I'll attach all 4 here to show.

Edit: I see newest I9000 theme from OCK has the issue as well so I left a post there, too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
I'll look at it tonight.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
All of the themes in this thread are CWM flashable. Things that aren't are the optional wallpaper packs and boot animations. When you flash the theme, all of the apk's that are included with the theme are installed/flashed. As such, manual install of the apk's is unneeded.

As for the clock widget, it's installable from the Martket and it's BobClockD3. I am not sure what calendar widget you're seeing, as I don't have one shown in the posted screenshots.

What do you mean by asking what launcher the HoneyComb theme is "optimized for"? I use LauncherPro... is that what you mean? The theme should work fine with any launcher and isn't specifically "optimized" to run on any one.

What do you mean "perfect keyboard support for the Honeycomb theme"? Does it break when you flash the theme?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] baghera1979:
New honeycomb with themed market and new dialer is looking pretty sweet. Thanks vivified!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] floppy__:
Hi,

thanks for those great themes.

I installed PaulDiddy_Remix_C5.5.zip and had to reinstall a clean version of swipe becase the themed one... let say, was not really my taste :-)

But I have a big problem and I can't figure why a theme would cause this problem.

Before installing the theme I plugged my capy to my computer and transfered files from one to another. Since I applied the theme, my computer doesn't reconize my phone anymore.

Any idea?

thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] yahooserious:
Sorry for being so Vegue The date I mentioned is included with bobclock. Thanks!

Yeah As for my comments about optimization they were questioning whether 1 launcher meshed better or with more 'theme'ed' widgets or property's then any other launcher.

I may have read into what I saw in the folder too much regarding the Keyboard.. I saw that GB keyboard.apk was inclusive and that led me to believe that only the GB keyboard had been themed. Knowing as little as I knew 2 hours ago about themes I thought that the theme masked the KB and that GB was the only one that was color/honeycmb themed. That or the GB keyboard.apk was the extent of the theme went for keyboard.

Little by little I learn theme now and it looks like nothing is a mask per se and that the extent that the phone is custom theme is relative to the amount of .apks packed inside the .zip

Really do appreciate you taking the time to mix these up for everyone and especially for fielding my bonehead questions on top of that.

I will continue grabbing themes and askin Q's till I cant get it all figured.

cheers
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
Glad you like it!

Feel free to ask and I will do by best to answer/clarify.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Well.... I'm not sure what happened to you but it's not the theme. Swype is part of the package from pauldiddy. All you have to do is grab the swype from the revert and drop it in.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] floppy__:
For swype it's ok, I just re-installed it from swypeinc.com

For the other problem, it's just weird
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alexige:
Just thought I would share my story of why flashing the revert file between themes is so important. If you guys want to link to this in the OP go ahead.

When C5.5 came out I was waiting anxiously for Paul Diddy to be converted to C5.5, I was starting to get antsy a few days ago so I played with the UOT Kitchen. I dont think I did something right with that because nothing I made showed up once flashed. So I just left it how it was and didn't think to use the revert at that point.

Once Paul Diddy came out last night I jumped to download and flash. Of course I didn't remember about the need for the revert because of the UOT flash until PD was flashing. Then it was a nervous wait through the reboot to see what the damage might be, and boy was there some damage.

The status bar did not come through so I was worried I wouldn't be able to turn on USB connection to transfer the revert from my computer, if I had to download through my comp and transfer. Then I had about the worst lag ever! It was painful! I \proceeded to navigate through the XDA app to this thread to get the revert file, which felt like it took 20 mins from start up to selecting the link. Once I clicked the link the status bar showed up and was able to get the revert downloaded. I proceeded to flash the revert, let the phone reboot and stabilize then went back to recovery, wiped cache and Dalvik just for good measure and flashed Paul Diddy. That was a great success and all my problems were gone!

Once again I have no one to blame but myself and hope this can save other people the problems it caused me.

One thing that I would like to suggest if I could...Could you guys make the file names reflect what version of Continuum the file is for, just in case we have multiple versions of the same theme on our phones. Paul Diddy was named PaulDiddy_Remix_C5.zip, what I am asking for is PaulDiddy_Remix_C5.5.zip. Also the revert was named Continuum, I would have liked it to be named Continuum 5.5 revert or something to that effect. I think that would be a little addition just to make things a little easier and avoid accidentally flashing the file for a previous version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] baghera1979:
+1 ^^^^^

I too was impatient with my theme flashing addiction. I didnt revert in between themes when i flashed from matted blues C5.5 to honeycomb theme C5.5. As a result i wound up having a honeycomb theme with a matted blues dialer and notification bar wouldnt work either. Take your time and just follow instructions and all will be good.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vivified:
The themes and reverts I maintain all have the Continuum version number in the files names. It helps me keep organized myself.
