Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?

Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.

Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work :(

Thanks Marty, this one was for you ;) Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly ;)

I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).

Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...

@scar45

Just checked again and it had loaded ok.

Must have been impatient first time.

Looks really cool with great detailing.

Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.

Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.

I will feedback any problems.

Thanks for your reply
[Android Themes] scar45:
Great to hear it works for you ericb, thanks for following up to report that.

In terms of your top and bottom bits, if you are able to upload a screenshot that might help, but otherwise I'm not too sure which part you're talking about.
[Android Themes] artymarty:
Hey Scar,

Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)

and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -

It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.

So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -

You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.

Warmly, Marty

ps: I will be making a donation in the next week or so, but don't let that influence you in any way.. (ie its not a bribe - you bloody deserve it!) HOWEVER please don't spend it on smokes mate - I have lost both parents to cancer a few years ago, and we just buried my partners mother who also died last week from lung cancer. - only telling you this cause I care ok!
[Android Themes] scar45:
Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food :) Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.

I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know ;))
[Android Themes] ericb:
Sorry to be unclear.

I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.

Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.

[Android Themes] artymarty:
Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?

Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
[Android Themes] Vatrox:
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.

Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.

[Android Themes] Pete2506:
Hello Scar,

are you able to port some of your pcb skins to the HTC OneX? I know not all is possible, cause of m10 tools, but I know your skin of my old desire times with insertcoin. And I love it!!!!

Best regards Pete
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey Marty, I do indeed have the UOT framework that I flashed. I use the Honeycomb battery icons, along with a green overscroll and green glow on popups. Also using the droid emoticons and G3 DrDroid icons. Let me know in a PM if you want it, and I can link you up. Also using the CM7 version yes, but modifying the 'updater-script' in the .zip can fix any issues :)

Woah, woah! Sense 2.1 is still so fresh! ;) I am sure I will adapt this to Sense 3.0 once we get some stable builds, but if anyone is running an alpha version, please do try to install my .APK in it, as it may still work! Please report back with any findings if anyone wants to try it (Nandroid is your best friend in this case!).

I hear what you're saying ericb, but it would throw my theme off it's intended 'framework'. I want to make more colour versions, and this wouldn't really be efficient for me moving forward. PLUS, if I am correctly thinking what you mean, then once someone changes their wallpaper, it wouldn't make much sense as the top + bottom bars would be green, but the wallpaper could be anything.

I hope I am making sense here myself, and I'll try my best to fulfill everyone's requests, otherwise I'll let you know if it can't be done (for whatever reason). Just remember it does take a fair amount of time!

Next plans are to release diff colour versions, and I will post an update as soon as they're ready (you can bet).

Hope everyone else is enjoying the theme in the meantime...(300+ downloads over 3 days!!!...I don't really know how good (or bad) that is, but it's cool!! :D
[Android Themes] LORD JUNIOR:
Are you planning on releasing the blue version?

[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey LORD JUNIOR,

Yes, I am planning on releasing the blue version next, however my personal (and work) life is super busy these days. Because of this, I probably won't have the blue version ready for a few weeks.

Just subscribe to this thread though, and you'll be notified as soon as I make an update!

Hey scar45 is it possible for you to make a make black & red PCB skin or black and royal blue? For sense 2.0 users
[Android Themes] Kastro1784:
I wish it was version for 2.0

Not to stress you or anything, but any schedule on the work of the blue PCB skin? I'm really looking forward to it!:-)

And maybe also a red one? It really is the most complete skin out there.. you've skinned everything by the looks of it:-)

Hey guys,

Sorry for my lack of updates. I was actually on vacation in Cuba last week, so I was obviously unable to get anything done. Unfortunately, upon my return I've come back to 200+ e-mails that I need to go through for my business.

I will definitely be making the new colour versions as soon as I get a chance, and Blue will probably be next. I'll try for a red one, but I think it may be a lighter red since red + black poorly contrast each other and would be hard to read.

Anyways, I just wanted to drop a super quick reply here to let you know that I'm still alive and still have plans to update the theme. It does take a lot of time, and even though I don't want to, I need to give my business (paying) clients priority :(

I will keep you updated though!

Cheersch!
[Android Themes] artymarty:
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!!

I sent a donation to scar45 for this theme a week or so ago - cause - well, its frickin amazing...

He emailed me back and thanked me personally and said no one has ever donated to him for this theme.

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!!

Do you guys have any idea how long it takes to make something like this? if it ONLY took 60 hours (and it would take a hell of a lot more than that) its a lot of time on his part.

not to mention all the requests for help installing it, changing this and that, other support....

Come on guys - DON'T BE SUCH TIGHT ASSES!!

Donate something - I am unemployed, up to my neck in credit cards at the moment, but I still found $10 to donate because frankly, it puts a smile on my face when I see it....

ok, thats the end of my rant -

Of course you don't have to donate, (and even if you do it descent give you the right to put in a mile long shopping list of requests for changes - its a donation not a payment)

...he will be grateful with just your thanks I am sure

... but if you do donate, you will sleep better at night and get lots of more cool stuff like this from scar45 and other developers...

:D

Warmly,

Marty

(ps. I am no way affiliated with scar45, I wrote this because he deserves it!)
[Android Themes] scar45:
Haaaaa! :D

You're awesome Marty, thanks again for your donation. I'm not in the best financial shape either, so I completely understand, and thank/respect you even more for showing your support!

You're also correct that donating is not required, but considering the amount of time the XDA peeps put into their work, it really is great to receive a kick-back from grateful users. It does warm my heart knowing that someone went through the process to donate, and definitely makes it easier to justify spending a lot of time making something perfect (or creating new stuff!).

All of the devs on here deserve support if you use/appreciate their work. I donate to ALL ROM devs whose ROMs I use/have used, and it does make a difference.

Thanks again Marty, you're a stand up dood ;)

...and to confirm, he did NOT tell me at all about his post. It was a pleasant surprise to me!

I hope it's working well for everyone, and hope that you're all still enjoying it :)

Lee Droid

Hello scar45,

I want to ask whether this theme (or the other one for the older Sense) works on Lee Droid 3.0.x. I have been using your theme for as long as I have been using custom ROMs and I would really like to be able to use it on my new ROM :)
[Android Themes] scar45:
Heya Thunder God, first off, I'm quite honored you've been using my theme for as long as you've been on custom ROMs :)

Anyways, I definitely plan to make a version available that works with LeeDrOiD 3.0.x, however Lee is still working on his Sense+GB one, and my theme (in .APK format) only works in Sense 2.1 and 3.0. Once Lee integrates the new Sense (NOT the default one that came with the official GB update), then either my existing .APK should just work, or I'll be sure to create a new one. Bottom line is that as soon as you are able to select HTC "Skins" from the Personalize menu in Lee's ROMs, that's when my theme should be working.

I've been talking to Lee lately and I believe he's working on it. Keep in mind the Bravo/Desire is an older device of his, so he's really being a solid dood by continuing to build ROMs for it. Kudos to him!

I've been very busy myself too, as I am looking into upgrading my company's dedicated server for web hosting. On a side note, if anyone might be interesting in my services, pop me a PM so I can gauge the demand in some way. Trying to figure out if jumping into the professional hosting game is worth it. I would be running the latest software too, so I'm sure my service would be top notch!

Other than that side plug, I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll surely be keeping up with the scene here, but the above paragraph is why I've been so busy lately. Need to re-think my business plan so I can stay in business, as I only work for myself! :eek:
[Android Themes] Thunder God:
I can't give you any advice for your future plans because I am still far away from this aspect of life :D but I wish you luck and will be waiting for the time when I will be able to get your theme on my Desire :)
[Android Themes] inamak:
Hey Scar - I have got this skin running on Relfex S - it works great, but every so often the skin seems to fallback to default and pcb sense disappears from the skin selection screen, and to get pcb sense back i have to reinstall the apk and then apply it again.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Android Themes] scar45:
Heya inamak,

Well that does sound strange for sure, but I wouldn't really think it's the Skin APK itself...sounds like some data might be getting cleared, but I have no idea why. I've been using it on an older InsertCoin CM7 ROM, and it's been solid and stable for me ever since.

It would be great to know if anyone else had issues like this, so please post a reply if that's the case. Otherwise inamak, I might suggest checking with the ReflexS dev/thread to see if anyone has had other Skin APKs disappear, like maybe the other HTC ones?

I'll do what I can, but I don't really think it's my skin, but rather something else messing about...
[Android Themes] artymarty:
When I have seen things like that, it's because some or all of a program has installed to the 'dos' partition on the SDHC card. Then if for any reason that partition unmounts (ie a pc sync, mount as a drive etc) the system loses access to those files and that app is game over till reboot.

Ext partitions don't have that issue.

Now there is no reason whatsoever that any of it should be on that 'dos' partition, but pays to check, and also keep in mind for other issues.

Warmly, Marty
[Android Themes] LORD JUNIOR:
Will the skin work on Sense 3.0 ? I'm on Virtuous Unity ROM.

-- Straight From HTC Glacier --
[Android Themes] artymarty:
Apparently a pure 2.1 or 3.0 will work, if it's a ROM That's a mixture of both - well, it depends on the ROM so try it and see.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Marty is correct (thanks Marty), however the ROM I am currently using it on (InsertCoin) is a mixture of Sense 2.1 + 3.0 and it works great for me.

I would definitely like to know if it does work for you on your Virtuous ROM though LORD JUNIOR. Toss up a reply if you get a chance :)
[Android Themes] Kastro1784:
Yeah this theme is not working all the way right with my phone maybe because I'm using a mixed Rom with sense 2.1 and 3.0 widgets and etc I'm using MccMBoxmaX GS V8 Gingerbread 2.3.3[Sense 2.1+3.0]3D Effect smdh :(
[Android Themes] BodenM:
Theme works great under AceSMod007 (Sense 2.1/3.0 Hybrid), no graphics glitches or anything, but the lockscreen remains unthemed, sadly.

Screenshots:
[Android Themes] scar45:
Kastro1784, it looks like you have done some other theming which has possibly caused conflictions (your "notifications / Quick Settings" tabs are blue). Otherwise, the elements that were supposed to be skinned by my theme look proper.

BodenM, thanks for confirming that my theme works on a different ROM than the one I'm using. Unfortunately, these themes do not skin the Lockscreen. I would have to modify the lockscreen .apk, but that's not as simple to install, update, adapt to ANY ROM version, etc., so I'm afraid I might not be able to do that very soon.

Anyways, thanks to you both for the screenies and relaying your findings!
[Android Themes] cdstewart:
Tried it on stock Sensation just for kicks, didn't work and now can't uninstall! :P
[Android Themes] scar45:
Damn, it doesn't work? Can you possibly tell me more? I.E. does it not show up in the HTC Skins section? Does it show up but doesn't apply properly? I really wish I had a Sensation right about now :p

Anyways, to remove it, you should be able to run Titanium Backup and wipe it out using that.

I wish I could be more help, but this is the first time I've heard of an experience with the newest HTC devices...I'm thinking it might have something to do with the parameters that I set in AndroidManifest.xml for the theme, or possibly something else. If I can grab a Sensation ROM and rip into it (and the themes that come with it) I may be able to make some headroom.

Thanks for the initial feedback though cdstewart!
[Android Themes] artymarty:
NOOOOOOO!

I just tried it on my stock sensation, and it does not work either!!

Please fix it, or my life will end... wahhhhhaaaa!

What do you need to know? It installs ok, but when you go to the skin chooser, its just not there :(
[Android Themes] izzy001:
I know its hard to make themes like this but will we ever see some MDPI love? I'm running a Sense 2.1 rom and have an MDPI phone and I have seen this theme in other posts but for HDPI. I would love to see it running on my phone.

Edit: I'm on Gingerbread
[Android Themes] scar45:
Heya izzy,

Yea it's definitely tough to maintain different versions of the theme, especially considering that this is all done for free and takes a lot of time. I have been very busy with work and unable to even think about an MDPI version of my theme. It would also take ages to create, as simply resizing the images would make the super-fine PCB lines become blurry. I'd need to recreate everything in Photoshop and re-save about 1000 (NOT 100) images.

I absolutely hate to say that I don't think I'll be able to get to an MDPI theme soon, as the only way I'd be able to is if I won the lottery or something and didn't have to worry about income :(

I'll definitely update this post if I do get a chance to work on it by any miracle though...

Sorry again!
[Android Themes] scar45:
Marty, if you're able to, can you link me to a skin .APK that is included in the Sensation ROM? I need to look at 'AndroidManifest.xml' to see what HTC uses in there. If you're able to do that, (or even just send a DEcrypted AndroidManifest.xml file) I can hopefully get it working on the Sensation.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Themes] izzy001:
Its ok didnt expect any soon anyways, but thank you for taking time to explain it to me... guess i'll have to wait for a Sense port to the Sidekick 4G XD
[Android Themes] artymarty:
trying to find them, any idea what directory these files might be in? I know thats part of the issue, but pointers where to start? Not that familiar with the directory structure myself yet...

I am looking while I wait to hear back from you...

*UPDATE* Here is one, I ran the apk and it installed... It looks so great I threw up a little in my mouth.

Hope this helps - and if you can tell where they install to I would LOVE to delete it... I am embarassed to have it on my phone haha

*bumpity-bump!*

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I've released 4 NEW COLOURS for PCB Sense! (check the newly edited Original Post for some screenies). I know it has been a long time coming, however it's very tough for me to find the time to undertake such a task. I sacrificed this weekend and got these made since I had expressed my desire to rebuild them in different colours previously.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the schemes I picked, and if you don't mind, maybe click the Submit to Portal link here, or near the top-right area of this page.

Cheers folks!
