[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] scar45:
PCB Blue v2.1.0

Updated on 11-06-2011 (mm/dd/yyyy)

for Prime! v2.1.0 / 2.1.1​

Hi all! I'm posting up my new Honeycomb theme for Roach2010's excellent Prime ROM. Note that I really do like the stock Honeycomb interface, but I wanted to add my own unique twist to it, while keeping it pretty close to stock (hence, "minimalist").

This theme is based/influenced by my own original PCB Sense Theme for Gingerbread + Sense. I have been testing this tablet version myself for a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all the fellow Transformer XDA users!

Couple of things to note:

ONLY for Prime v2.1.0 / 2.1.1! (older versions are archived). You can try it on other ROMs, but this theme was built from Roach's PRIME sources.

Includes/based off of Roach2010's Recovery Power Menu modification

This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Honeycomb UI, but want something unique

It is currently a work-in-progress, and will evolve over time

Please do not ask for too many new feature requests, or versions with other Power Menu Options. I am quite a busy dood, and this is still the early days of Honeycomb. I will definitely update it when I can, but I have been making Android themes for a while, and it becomes VERY tedious and time consuming to create new .zips/.apks for each and every ROM release. I will certainly do my best though!

I have edited a lot of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones

The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...This is the main thing stopping me from skinning EVERY single file with the PCB pattern, but as above, stretching/repeating this PCB pattern really mucks the look up (blurry/etc.)

If you'd like to buy me a beer, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)

Future Plans:

Add Honeycomb Percentage Battery Mod

Fix battery charging animation

Add better screenshots

Style more parts of the OS

Change all default Honeycomb 'orange' button/menu items presses to blue or green

Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)

These are some of the graphic components I built and used in this theme (more actual screenies coming soon):

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.6.0[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Re-based from Roach2010's v1.6 sources
[*] Includes all fixes/features/fun stuff as previous versions
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.5.1[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Decent update which includes a fixed circle battery icon charging animation (BIG TIME THX to Roach!)
[*] -- Allows for circle battery charging animation to occur when tablet is charging (doesn't show for dock charging, as tablet would be full and icon already shows 100%)
[*] -- Doesn't cause a reboot as before, thanks to logic improvements to 'services.jar' by Roach2010
[*] Revamped the lockscreen graphics by changing to a hex/honeycomb theme (created all images from scratch myself)
[*] Added new PCB background to Recent Apps menu
[*] Cleaned up the background image in Settings, SetCPU, etc. (still a little stretched when in Portrait)
[*] Minor fixes to existing images
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.5.0[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Re-based from Roach2010's v1.5 sources
[*] This is quite a MINOR update, as I only fixed 2 images (down/close arrow when Recent Apps menu is open; edited colour of the background image in Settings)
[*] More updates will come as I am going to experiment further by changing dimensions on certain images, but this may cause issues, and I haven't had time to test just yet (this v1.5.0 is stable!)
[*] v1.4.4 [i]should[/i] still work on v1.5, however it's not recommended. I've left v1.4.4 online for those users still on Prime! v1.4
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.4.4[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Fixed the microSD mounted / USB Disk Mode icon
[*] Added new File Browser icon (next to unmount)
[*] Added new Bluetooth icon (disconnected + connected states)
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.4.3[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Figured out what was causing some users to experience boot loops or freezing/black screen issues
[*] -- Users who run the OC kernel are not affected, as this kernel has broken support for the dock battery status (currently the kernel is not build from ASUS' (non-existent) 3.1 sources), so the main issue above never has a chance to occur
[*] -- Users of the Stock 3.1 kernel were experiencing the boot loops/freezing issues because the dock battery/charging status works, and this issue was able to rear its ugly head
[*] -- There are details of this issue that I have posted in a new thread (in the Development section, as it has now become a new project/task): [url=http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14674386]"[MOD/DEV] Charging Battery Animation with Dock Connected ** Help needed! **"[/url] (main issue is that the ASUS code only calls for "BitmapDrawable", whereas we need "AnimationDrawable")
[*] -- Please, any coders/devs who are able to make edits to the 'classes.dex' file in 'services.jar', please contact me via PM, and/or visit the thread above for details of the issue (I personally have no idea how to fix it and recompile)
[*] [B]As a confirmed/stable workaround[/B], I have disabled [i]animation[/i] on the charging icons, however they will show a lightning bolt (so you know it's charging) and the current level of battery charge in the outer circle(s)
[*] -- This will increase SLOWLY as the device consumes a charge, so you will see the circle grow, but only when the battery level is changed (i.e. not a smooth, frequent animation)
[*] -- Basically, it will update the battery icon with the charging version at the same percentage...it's so hard to explain this, but trust me, it works and it's our best option for now, until we can get the original ASUS code modified
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.4.2[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Optimized the battery charging animation which was eating up precious CPU cycles
[*] -- The previous version had demanding animation XML, which was too fast
[*] -- This new version corrects that by slowing the animation down by 60 ms, and also only animating the battery level from the actual charge level (i.e. instead of animating from 0% --> 100%, it now only animates from whatever your current charge level is at, to 100%) (hope I explained that well!)
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.4.1[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Re-based from Roach2010's proper Recovery Power Menu Option framework-res.apk (fixes signatures)
[*] Added Honeycomb percentage battery icon (with custom animation)
[*] Added new WiFi icon that is easier to see, along with new upload and download mini-arrows (bottom corners of WiFi icon)
[*] Added new ASUS status icons (HDMI, Docked, microSD, USB, Headphones)
[*] Added new glowing download/upload icon
[*] Added new (default) scrollbar handle
[*] Added skin for lockscreen halo/ring on touch (when not using a pattern or numeric password)
[/list]

[B][SIZE="3"]v1.4[/SIZE][/B]
[list]
[*] Initial release (version 1.4 to match the current version of Prime!)
[*] Styled System Panel (bottom right corner tapped to open)
[*] Styled stock bottom left icons
[*] Styled Lockscreen Pattern point area inputs
[/list]
