Heya live_0978,

Actually it's funny, as just yesterday I realized the same thing. The skins would not stick on LeeDrOiD v3.3.1r2 after reboots. Same thing goes for me as it was working in InsertCoin with no issues.

Anyways, I was able to trace the problem, and I have a workaround. Simply move the "97zipalign" file from /system/etc/init.d somewhere else (as a backup), and that should fix it. You might need to reinstall the theme, but after that it should stick. It seems to be a problem with my theme getting corrupted after the zipalign script hits it on each boot. I will look into why this might be happening, but in the meantime, moving the script out of init.d should work fine. Downside to that is any new APKs that land in the file system won't be zipaligned on boot, but a small price to pay, at least in my books ;)

For everyone else expressing desire to have this in Sense 3.0, I will need some time. I am trying to establish a new business plan that has kept me very busy. Sense 3.0 uses .m10 files that I'll need to practice with more, as well as completely new images and filenames (i.e. I cannot just copy over my 500 existing images). I'll keep everyone in the loop about that though if I do get some time to release Sense 3.0 versions...
[Android Themes] live_0978:
Thought u might have an answer, and you're right, your theme does take first place ;-) Maybe as a permanent fix Lee could add your themes to some kind of whitelist.
[Android Themes] scar45:
:D well, I don't think it's Lee's fault really, as he is trying to keep his ROM running fast by including that script. I just checked InsertCoin, and I don't see that script there, so it's probably the fact that Lee included it, AND something in/with my theme doesn't like to be zipaligned.

Will try to look into it more, but for now, I think the removal of '97zipalign' is probably the best bet...Lee's ROM is already fast as f#ck, so it wouldn't make much of a difference not having it there! :)

Thanks! :)

No offence dude, but if you can't be bothered reading a few posts in the thread or god forbid do a search, you wouldn't have the energy or motivation to install them if there were any!
[Android Themes] evohog:
Listen here slick,I read the op and am aware these don't work on my 3d. Forgive me for posting before I finished what i wanted to ask. This disrespectful crap that's coming up more and more in xda is getting really old. Do yourself a favor and learn some respect.

DDD-EVO
[Android Themes] evohog:
And thanks scar I've been using your skin on my og EVO for a long time and it was by far the most detailed one that I had. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

DDD-EVO
[Android Themes] artymarty:
Easy there tiger.

I appreciate your thoughts on the subject and respect is something that is earned not given.

Respect also comes from respecting someones time, which is why these such posts are so prevalent on the xda forum. The get answers quick and easy mentality of this day and age has its drawbacks.

While you may well have answered your own question, as you mentioned in your eh-herm 'edited' post - it was 5 hours later, after you had been pinged for it.

...oh, on that, you might note that rewriting history by completely changing 100% your post to remove evidence is considered really bad form dude. Especially when the evidence is quoted in the following post right after yours!

There is some more information on that topic here:

http://www.dont-be-a-twit.com/2007/04/16/rewriting-history/

While thanking the dev in your next post also does not remove any duchebagery from you previous post, he has done an amazing job with these skins hasn't he - best on the net, he should 'sell' them to HTC or at least sell them on the android market - they are better than 99% of the rubbish thats there.

So again, thanks for your opinion

Warmly, Marty
[Android Themes] evohog:
I only read the op where it says what it says. You can be rude if you want just don't insult a persons intelligence. I edited my post because I wanted to avoid any other helpful people such as yourself from taking it any further. I asked a simple question because i only read th op, when i am looking at an apk I read the op, if I'm looking for info on a ROM I read through the thread. Didn't think such a small and meaningless question deserved such an insulting response. And about respect being earned I do not know you and never will nor you me so there must be some shown out of common courtesy and that is why I edited my second post as to not insult you out of impulse. I just wanted to make a point, reason being is some of the threads lately have turned into a flame game and its old, really old, to see who can flame first or flame best. Douchebaggery huh. I thanked him because his stuff is by far the best and i am sorry for this **** being in his thread.

Cool evohog,

We both over reacted, got snarky.

[Android Themes] scar45:
:) glad to see you two squashed any beef ;) One thing is for sure, and that's that we're all passionate about our devices. Sometimes this passion leaks out in bits of rage, but as long as everyone composes themselves, that's great.

In terms of a Sense 3 version evohog, I would love to do one. Problem is, I have no Sense 3 device, so I need to find a Desire ROM that has FULL Sense 3 for testing/dev purposes. Thing is, I'm getting ready to launch a hosting company, and that has been keeping me VERY busy as there is lots to do (I want to do this right).

If I do find a decent test Sense 3 ROM and get some time, I'm sure I can get it done, but in the meantime I'll update you guys on how things are going.

Much appreciate the kind comments about my theme/work too!!
[Android Themes] evohog:

Downloaded them from my computer (Green and Blue) and both downloaded fine. Transferred over to my phone, and they won't install. Used Astro, and they say that can't be read as APK files.

Will try downloading with my phone later.

APK's not installing

Hi there!! I like how the theme looks in your photos, and I would like to use it in my cell, but when I try to install the APK, it says it cannot be read! I tried to install them with astro, Root Explorer and APK installer with no success, and worst, I read here that some other users have the same problem as I do. My cell is a Tmobile G2, the same as HTC Desire Z A.K.A. HTC Vision running Virtuous 1.0.1 ROM. Am I doing something wrong? :confused: please, please, PLEASE... help me! I want this themes very bad
[Android Themes] mode_ss:
Im having the same exact problem as you do!! HTC Tmobile G2 running Virtuous 1.0.1, tried with astro, root explorer, ES explorer, apk installer... an nothing. How sad :(

sense 3.0

I think you have enough demand for sense 3.0 port, these r excellent
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi all, just noticed my theme made it to the front page of XDA today...that's a first for me :D

Anyways, in regards to the Legend and Wildfire (S), you guys are right, they are MDPI devices, and this theme is only built for HDPI devices. I should have caught that earlier, but there has been so much going on.

As it stands, I seem to have potentially created more work for myself while already not having much time in the first place: (1) Sense 3.0 version; (2) MDPI version (Sense 2.1 AND 3.0 in MDPI?? oh man...).

I will do my best to please everyone, however please have some patience with me for the above items...I've also updated the title of the thread to include "HDPI" so users will know.

I'll be in touch, cheers!
[Android Themes] live_0978:
Well done scar! ;)
[Android Themes] carngeX:
Still not sure why my HTC Incredible is having a fit then; pretty sure it's HDPI.

Don't know if it doesn't like SkyRaider 4.3 or what I guess.
[Android Themes] NardVa:
Just put this skin on my Incredible S. After using this skin, I don't wanna go back to ADW Launcher. Awesome skin. Keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] zoltank:
scar45 !

Its an awesome, great skin, but i can use just the wallpapaer :S

Because i have a wildfire s.

But when u have time, and u think that do u will make the skin for MDPI, i'd like to buy you a few beers :DD
[Android Themes] artymarty:
Wow scar45, a few beers for 60+ hours of work? Sounds tempting... How about if we throw in a bowl of pretzels to sweeten the deal? ;)
[Android Themes] Sage:
any change of just the backgrounds? :)
[Android Themes] zoltank:
But evryone who will use the MDPI sikin, will be buy some beers, then its a good deal :D or no? :D (or donate with the beers prise)
[Android Themes] c0de_junkie:
I absolutely love the blue version!!! was kinda wondering if it would be possible to get the newest sense 3.0 lock ring in the blue PCB?? I can do the m10 edits, so I would just need the icon itself!! thanks a lot!! and keep up the great work!!

edit** Last night I figured out how to make what I asked for so please dont worry about my request ... but thanks anyways....
[Android Themes] Stalte:
How is the sense 3.0 version coming :)
[Android Themes] aprunic:
Hey guys, I can't make an install as well...

I'm having and older SD version of ROM, from freak, it is called DL_DesireZ 3.5, and when tried to install the themes with root explorer I got "There is a problem with package" error.

On the second attempt, using ADB, I got "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]".

Now that one is new to me, since I haven't had any problems installing any android app so far, from market or anywhere else.

The ROM is regular Froyo 2.2.1, and I see that SDK is version 8.

So, anybody has any idea? Should the apk be "repackaged", since I haven't seen any mention of specific version of anything except the resolution of the screen as a requirement...?
[Android Themes] boazgalpo:
this is great but would it work in sense 3.0?
[Android Themes] Madeli:
Dunno what the difference is, but these doesn't work with htc incredible s since last update from htc... Worked before... To bad :(

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi aprunic, I believe that I built this theme for v10 SDK, and this might be why it's not installing correctly. I'm not sure which Sense version DL_DesireZ 3.5 has, but it should be v2.1 for this theme to work properly. This ROM also appears to be an HD2 version, and it should work, but that might have something to do with it too. I am sorry I cannot really help more, as it's tough to test for many devices out there.

Nope, won't yet :( Need gobs amount more time to recreate all images based on Sense 3.0 (can't just blindly use the current images)...It is a plan of mine as I had stated, but it probably won't be for a good month or two. :(

That sounds odd if they did work before Madeli...I doubt that your ROM now has Sense 3.0, as per above, it doesn't work with Sense 3.0 yet...

Pcb design for me

+1! I am a pcb designer and this would be awesome to show all my coworkers. The only problem is I am on sense 3.0. Please update as soon as possible, I love your work. Thanks
[Android Themes] gigermunit:
Any chance a white or grey version for 2.1 :]? been looking at this for awhile but didn't have a hdpi phone til recent.
[Android Themes] Madeli:
No, it's still sense 2.1... Desire HD themes doesn't work. But thunderbolt themes works... Dunno why htc did it like this... Sense 2.1 to both, but something isn't the same.

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[Android Themes] carngeX:
Is there a way that one could rebuild it for SDKv8? Because that's the same problem I've having (and I'm assuming the same problem the other people are having).
[Android Themes] evasilisin:
There are now two versions of Sense 2.1 believe it or not. HTC = Idiots, I know ! Anyways, these will still work on Sense 2.0, Sense 2.1, and Sense 2.1.1 (as Im calling it). The only change needed to be made is the "version code" in the AndroidManifest file. For instance, Sense 2.0 is "8" and Sense 2.1 is "??????32" and Sense 2.1.1 is "??????33" So for it to work on Incredible S after the latest update, you need to change the version code in AndroidManifest. Hope this is helpful to the OP and others.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Great info evailisin, thanks for that. I will be updating these themes as soon as I get a chance in hopes that they'll be able to work on any Sense 2.x ROM. Following that, I'd love to get a Sense 3.x version going, but that will take longer of course.

Will update the thread as soon as there's progress.

Cheers!

Hey scar,

Great to hear from you... Still looking forward to the sense 3 version - will even donate again as soon as its done :)

noob question: would this be a sense skin that i can install on an s-off stock rom or do i need to be deodexed.

I don't use a Sense ROM but this is really nice. Great work dev.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey fellas! My apologies for not posting any updates. Life has been crazy, and I'm still stuck with Sense 2.x on my old Desire (no money for upgrades, and Sense 3 on the Desire is not perfect - I need a stable daily driver these days).

One day I am sure I'll end up with a nice phone and Sense 3, but also, once ICS comes out, we'll have to see what HTC does with that and Sense.

Regardless, let's say my themeset here is just "on hiatus", and will hopefully return as soon as I get some new hardware and time. It did take me a long while to create this theme, and I've obviously not charged for it, so it's quite an undertaking to update it to Sense 3, as a LOT will need to be changed (Sense 3 is much different in its resource structure from Sense 2).

Anyways, I haven't forgotten about this, and I thank you guys for your kind words, and bringing it back up to attention. I'll surely post updates whenever there is news.

Cheers!

I was going to suggest sense 3.5, but you are right... Soon everyone will be asking for sense 4

Heya Marty! Great to hear from you again. I hope you've been well.

What a dream that would be to have HTC contract me for some Skin designs. I would surely love it. Unfortunately, I think they'd have to get in touch with me, as I'm sure I'd have no pull with contacting them.

Anyways, once Sense 4 + ICS hits the scene, hopefully I'll have more money to be able to afford one of the new devices (HTC Edge anyone??).

All the best to you Marty, and everyone else on XDA during this holiday season!

Not working on Tmobile G2 with Virtuous 1.0.2

Hello Scar45.

First of all, let me tell you that I really admire your work. Its a beautiful theme the one you made, and I want it so bad in my phone!! And there's the reason why I write... I cannot install it on my mobile!! I have a Tmobile G2 (AKA Vision) running virtuous 1.0.2 (Froyo). When I download the APK, and proceed to install it with any manager (Root manager, Astro, ES File manager...), it says that there's a problem reading the package content!!

Am I doing something wrong?? (sorry if im missing something... )

Have a nice day... and Happy Holydays!! :)
[Android Themes] Android311:
Try downloading it on your computer and put it in your SD card, open the file on your computer to make sure the file isn't corrupt or invalid, try using a difrent browser and open the file instead if saving, also make sure its signed the same as the skin its going to replace
[Android Themes] Android311:
Also this is only for phones running sense 2.1 HTC I think, if your phone isn't sense that's probaly y it isn't working

[Android Themes] Android311:
Download a skin from the market, go to your SD card..look in data then inside will be HTC skins or downloads. Download the color skin you want from the forum and make it the same name as what's in the file. If the HTC skin says 12345 then make the skin you downloaded from here 12345. Sign it as the same and it will ask you to overite (cause the same name) click yes, reboot and choose the skin. The skin will still look like the original in your HTC

Skin colection just click it and it will work.

[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't followed up on this, as I created the theme. Android311, thanks for helping out too!

If anyone is having problems installing/applying this theme, it is most likely because your Sense version is not 2.1, or that you don't have Sense at all. I have tested this theme quite extensively, and it does work.

After installing, you should see it in PERSONALIZE --> SKINS, and you don't need to rename the .apk or anything (in fact, the .apk can be named whatever you like, the skin properties/name is in the XML within the package).

So my apologies to those of you who cannot get it to work, but if it's compatible with your device, you'll see it in the Skins area mentioned above.

I do have plans to update this theme to Sense 3.x, however that's a huge undertaking as I now have to re-edit all 1000+ files to work with the .m10 format. I want to get it done though, but I am still running Sense 2.1 myself (no money for a new phone :( ). Keep your eyes on this post though, and I will surely update it when there's a new version.

Cheers!
[Android Themes] Android311:
No problem just helping out! But thank you for the great htc skin! I have the virgin mobile wildfire s and i installed your pcb theme and it didnt work, but the reason why i think it didnt work is because maybe my screen is not formatted to what your theme is (not your fault) but from another member he uploaded a pcb sense blue theme but he formated it for the smaller screens and that works on mine, so maybe that might be trissyGE problem, might not be formated for her screen. just a thought :]

That could be the reason of it. My sisters Wildfire S is MDPI the Desire is HDPI (much bigger). So the pics are to big for it. We have to resize it.
