That only changes the first (param.lfs) screen.

There are three things that show on your screen during boot.

1. image controlled by param.lfs which can be modified using the package you described.

2. image controlled by the kernel which can only be modified by changing it in the source.

3. boot animation controlled by /system/media/sanim.zip in gingerbread, and /system/media/bootanimation.zip in froyo.

What I'm working on is #2. However I would provide the jpg's so users could change #1 if they wish.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
I don't think Serendipity kernel has number 2. OR it might be the same that I have for number 1, so I don't notice when it changes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Correct.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Oh. I guess I never actually saw it. The first thing I did when I flashed Svii was change the first boot screen. Having both the same picture makes it "SEEM" to boot up quicker. I know it actually doesn't but still I guess I like it that way.

I've thought about it, but just never did, at least it says galaxy s on it. My mom's actually told me before that I'm an obsessive compulsive nut.

I got your PM and they look great. In case you or anybody else were wondering the fonts I used are called Top Secret and DroidSans. DroidSans was included in Ubuntu, but I'm sure it's available somewhere.

Good night all

This is TalonDev 0.4.3 340MB 1200 Mhz with the kernel logo I posted yesterday. My source can be found here. All credit for the actual kernel goes to existz, kodos96, ytt3r, zacharias.maladroit, xcaliburinhand, and everyone else who has contributed to their project. Credit for the logo goes to me :) and ChanceM and/or MikeyMike01.

This is only the first one, more will come.

Is there anything special I need to do before I flash the kernel? Just wondering because I'm still on the kernel that came with serendipity. Also can I just use the acs updater to install the kernel?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Nothing special. I haven't tried with acs, but it should work.

So what does the kernel offer? Just the new logo or more?

Dark [OJ] Gmail

Hey Bryman,

I have been wanting a dark version of Gmail but with the OJ color Gmail Icon... would this be difficult to adapt or create?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
I miss dark gmail too. The only problem is anytime gmail gets updated the app has to get redone. But if it's not too much, I would like to see dark themed gmail in the addons.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Not too difficult, I saw a dark gmail earlier today or yesterday. I can just OJ-ify that one easy. Give me maybe an hour.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Not to be a pain in the you know what, but can you bluedip-ify one too?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Yup, was already planning on it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
Charcoal wallpaper pack just about done people :)

they are all very simple walls....I really hope you guys enjoy them when bryman is done with the theme :cool:

I'll be sending you a zip file with all of them bryman ;)

Bry you are the BEST. You are always there when I need you. You honestly never cease to amaze. You really need to allow for donations!

Sent from a Galaxy S far far away...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Cool beans, I was starting to wonder if you were still working on them. :D

Donation coming soon.

Black Gmail added to the second post, it's not 100% how I'd like it, but it's pretty close. Screenshot and Bluedipity version coming soon added also.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I'll think about adding a link to my OPs but I think the "donate to me" button is a bit much.

I'm guessing you've already donated to Mikey, Chance, and (if you like his walls) Mortem? They should be donated to before me.

edit: also xcaliburinhand, he's awesome
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
After several minutes of serious thought and deliberation, I've decided that, for the moment, "eyes" is my favorite. :cool:

I can't wait to get this puppy out the door.

Info: Bluedipity version of black gmail added. I also added links to both on the website.

Please PM me if you would like to be a beta tester for Charcoal. I should have the main theme "done" probably on Thursday. At that time, I'll be PMing the chosen testers (there's a very small chance you won't be chosen).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
yeah I liked that one too :)

I just hope the users of your theme enjoy them as well....they are very simple and Charcoal in color so it was a very different medium for me....I am used to vibrant colors LOL
[Captivate Themes and Apps] t3chn0s1s:
Black GMAIL

I love the black gmail and please don't think I'm being a complainer but I'm having a hard time determining new emails from read ones.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Yeah that's an issue. I'll make the read emails text darker so it's easier to tell.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] t3chn0s1s:
That would be EXCELLENT of you sir!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gil516:
total noob question that will get me flamed, but here it goes, Is this theme Orange?

J/K Bryman, I like your work and am looking forward to putting some lighter fluid on my phone once I put some charcoal in it!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Charcoal beta testers: Check your PMs!

It's not too late to become one, just PM me and I'll send beta 1 right over. Right now I have 2 testers and I wouldn't mind more.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
All Talon issues should be fixed now. I recommend all Talon users re-download the theme and any addons they like. This also goes for Bluedipity.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AnarchoXen:
So far so good!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
bryman

do me a favor and let me know a release date for Charcoal so I can make a page on my website for the walls....there will be bonus walls there for peeps to enjoy. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I'll release it Monday. I'm not sure if I'll get all the addons done in time, but I don't want to keep everybody waiting too long.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Speaking of release, when you get the Op's done did you want me to include them in the website? Just asking cause I don't want us both working on it at the same time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
If you wouldn't mind. I can send you some screenshots tomorrow. I'll go ahead and get rid of the current Charcoal tab.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Yeah if you send me the dropbox links that your gonna use in the OP I can do the website before you do the OP and you can just hit "publish" when ever you want it to go live.

Just make sure everything is labeled (Although, I should be able to tell just from the links)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
The links will be same as OJ's, except with Charcoal instead of OJ. Of course there won't be update files. I'll put the 9-lock mod in the fourth post, so I'll just add that link once it's up.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
That makes everything easy. The only thing that might throw it off is the .jpg files and the addons.

I think I should wait til you do the op. That way I don't add links that aren't available yet. I think I should add the full download link and the battery mods. Then, when addons are done I'll add those. Idk...how do you think I should do it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
That sounds good. I don't want people clicking things that aren't done yet. So yeah just add the theme and the battery mods, then we can add the addons as they get done.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Cool! I'll get it done either tonight or 2mro. And if you get any screenshots, just the basic ones (homescreen, Pull down), PM them to me. I only need 2 or 3, just something to show off on the site by the full download link.

PS: all the addons/battery mods are done. Just screenshots and OP left.

Very nice, not too gaudy like most themes. Thank you!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I can't get it to decompile. I don't get it. As soon as I get it to decompile it'll be easy to theme, but I just need that first step.

Sent from my SGH-I9000
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
I tried it too and I kept getting the same error. Weird! It's either the new market, or apk manager isn't compatible. But even though I got the error some files showed up in the projects folder. Not sure what that means though.:(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Yeah some files showed in mine too, for example the smali files seem to be decompiling properly from the classes.dex. The error comes when it's trying to decompile one of the xmls (at least that's what I think the error says).

Anyway, I found a few themed versions, so I know it's possible, but I don't have any time to mess with this stuff tonight.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superdave227:
whats up

:confused: is there a reason that everyone stopped posting to this thread? I just flashed this theme on my captivate and and am having an issue with the black gmail add-on, and the swype keyboard. not sure what to make of this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Everyone stopped posting because most of us aren't on Serendipity anymore. The problems you're having are probably because the versions of the apps that I themed are no longer the latest. I know Swype has been updated a couple of times.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Lol I am one of the only ones still on S.Vii. But not for long. Pretty soon I'll be on Teamhacksung's ICS ROM. Just waiting til the camera bugs are worked out. Also, I want to flash after all the full wipe flashes are out of the way. (Looks like they are now but it says "hopefully" which means there could be a couple more.)

Oh and to answer @superdave227's question. The theme works fine. You just can't use the outdated apps. i.e. Gmail, Swype.

You can download swype from their website and you can update gmail from the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] superdave227:
I did update them. I guess I'll read up on how to theme the updated apps.

I have tried several roms including mosaic and continuum but they had different're bugs that caused my phone to be very unstable. I didn't like having my phone randomly restarting and going into a boot loop. Serendipity is very stable and has the things I want out of my ROM so I'm going to stick with it till I get my new phone, a SGS 2 SKYROCKET, When the price drops $50 or so.

With that, any quick advice on themeing apps would be nice, but I will read the guid in the stickies before I do anything.

Just finished re-themeing to OJ. Looks good. Great Job Bryman27!!!

Only complaint "not about the theme" is that beautiful widgets doesn't have one good clock skin to match. And Go Launcher doesn't have any good themes other than blue ones.

But still It looks great, and I managed to find a couple of things to go with it.

I'll attach a screen shot, more in the link in my sig.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
funny you mention Beautiful Widgets...I have the dev kit for clocks and weather....another side project I am working on, making my own clocks and weather for BW....if I get anywhere with it I will let you know. :cool:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rodman101:
Bryman and mortem, you guys rock! Orange is my favorite color and I love having it on my phone :)

only one thing I've noticed that's alittle off is the word suggestions in swype see hard to read as in the background is alittle too bright so ths white words are hard to read.

Otherwise awesome job I love you guys!

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Thanks! And anything you can make to match OJ or any other orange theme would be AWESOME!!!

In fact all I would like is a Skin like "Gingerbread Super Clock Slim" but with OJ "orange" text for the time.

I'll attach an edited pic of what I wish BWs had.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I'll darken that in 1.1.

I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem but for some reason when i go to open up my gallery it takes a long time to open up or the screen just stays black and even an FC will happen don't know if I have to much crap in there or something else.

Same for me! Good thing I use Quickpic!

ICONS

Have I found the coolest icons for this theme. They're for another theme but they're posted as extras. Not sure if they're "free to use" but they are available to download [HERE] just scroll to the very bottom.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] t3chn0s1s:
My gallery too has been experiencing random lags and FC's. Honestly I think it was doing that prior to OJ tho. The screen will just go blank and after a minute or so will FC. Weird. I can't see how a theme would be the culprit.

should have told me you wanted something with S7 logo in it....I purposely did all the walls without S7 as I wanted bryman's work on the theme to stand alone.

but I made something else up for you Joe ;)

yours is probably better :cool::cool::cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
My gallery fc'ed, but just once, after I read you guys talking about it. I have 8 images and 6 videos showing. After that one time, it hasn't done it again. The thing is that OJ doesn't modify the gallery, the only thing I can think of is that maybe something in framework-res is causing it, but then I'd think it would also be causing other things to fc. I'm going to put a bunch of images on my phone and see if that causes more fc's, and then maybe I can get a logcat.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
I've been working on various icons, just a side project, and was wondering if something like this would be of any interest to the OJ users.

It's simple, just text and the OJ logo, no icons from the actual apps.....all of this is still very beta.....let me know what you think.

Also I was not certain the correct size for icons on the Cappy so I went with 100x100
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
My personal opinion would be to just get rid of the oj logo and make the text bigger to fill in the space. The stock gmail icon is 72x72, and so are other apps if I'm not mistaken.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
how's this?

problem with making text bigger is space....the word settings would not fit unless i made text smaller unless I could come up with an abbreviation.

I added some glow in the background in this one

I could maybe do something like this too....but I want to keep them simple.....I like the text based ones myself
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I really like the first one, but I see what you're saying about space. I just don't know :(.

About the gallery issues:

Sorry about the gallery guys. I've got about 220 pictures on it now, and it's working great, no fc's and pretty smooth. I can't fix issues if I can't replicate them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MonoControl:
Thanks for looking into thought =] and I like how i was going to ask this morning if anyone knew where to find some icons and docks that would go great with the OJ and everyone is already ahead of me :cool:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Your names still on it, after all it's your design. But I made it work for me. I changed the bg to black. I love wallpapers with black backgrounds. And I rearranged it so that it fits perfectly in the middle of my pages. imo the original "yours" looks better, but I prefer my edited one because it fits so good without covering anything up.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
i was just giving you a hard time :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:

Settings.apk

Bryman, I hate to bug you with this question but is there anyway to get the updated orange settings icon WITH the colored settings menu? When I flashed the 1.1 update and then flashed the colored settings menu it reset my settings icon back to the blue one. I will understand if I can't have one without the other.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I thought I did that already. Just to be extra clear, what's the exact name of the zip file you downloaded for the colored settings menu?

Never had this happen before so I'm guessing it has something to do with the theme. I tried to change the lockscreen wallpaper and click on gallery and I get a force close and can't change the wallpaper. I use quick pic, but it doesn't give me the option to choose from there. I guess I can try clearing defaults and see if that works. Just wondering if anyone can replicate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Yeah, there seems to be something in my theme causing issues with the gallery. I haven't been able to reproduce any fc's with it but once and don't really have an idea of what could be causing it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] toneflem:
No worries. I just changed my lockscreen so it became transparent to show my homescreen background.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Could the orange glow be added around the ringer volume popup?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
You mean when you press the volume button and the thing pops up at the top with the progress bar showing how loud the volume is?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Joecascio2000:
Yup! It seems like it's the only popup without the glow.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
Yeah it can. I'll add that to my todo list for tomorrow.
