i'm on darky rom 10.2.2 jvq,can i flash this with metamorph ?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Mburns2,

Metamorph is using .zip files with pre-compiled .9.png's and resources. That means that it cannot be flashed with metamorph (If you refer to the whole theme).

On the other hand, CM7 is using several different icon resources, comparing to AOSP 2.3+

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
This is absolutely great news for us fans of this fine theme. Great job guys.

As for the most sought after icon request, I believe it is without a doubt, Titanium Backup. 'nuf said, haha...

from the Speedy EVO Engine...
[Android Themes] SolZer:
First and foremost... this is a great theme! One issue I noticed on my TBolt... the status bar icons for ringer (vibrate, no sound/mute) are not being themed. Anyone else notice this?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
True, true! :D

Hello SolZer,

If you refer to the small notification icons next to signal and battery, they are still stock Gingerbread on purpose :D

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] SolZer:
Hey D_d, thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, not all AOSP ROMs use the stock Gingerbread notification icons. I'm not sure how big of a pain it would be, but I'd love to have all the notification icons match the theme I'm applying.

Not a HUGE deal whatsoever, just something I noticed. If I keep my ringer on, there isn't an icon to worry about... ;)

Thanks again.

Hi DaRk_dOg, on my X8, I noticed the indicator bars are not aligned.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Rycon33,

Well that is not an X8 issue only, but a general Crystal one. That is due to the use of icons instead of .xml for the progress_horizontal bar. I'll give it a look but I cannot guarantee that it will be fixed :(

PS: Sometime later today I'll send you a morph for MDPI testing (as soon as I manage to finish sliding tab). Interested? ;)
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
oh i see, thought it was an mdpi issue only

ok, thanks, I'm sure all mdpi users are willing to test the morph also.

i'll test if i'm still awake later(coz already evening here now)
[Android Themes] ^Deadly_Sin^:
I am available and willing!! (hm, that sounds...weird) :p

I'd love to test the morphs if you're ok with it
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Yeap guys no problem to post them in public when they are ready (later today).

Like I said, they will be just in beta form and will only include the lockscreens in order to check alignement.

Once this is ok, I will release a beta2 that will include the popups and after that it goes final :D

The point of this whole procedure, is to avoid soft-bricks and check if everything looks normal.

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Only for MDPI users

Hello everyone,

I need some help from the MDPI users of Crystal theme.

At the end of the post you will find the "testmorph.zip", which contains ONLY the rotary, rotary revamped, Lense and sliding tab lockscreens (without the tab or the arrows).

Like I said in an earlier post, this is a beta, just to check the icons' alignment.

For anyone willing to help:

-Download testmorph.zip

-Make a full backup with recovery (in case something goes wrong)

-Install it as described on the 3rd post

-Use ddms or any other screenshot utility and provide me screens from each lock, especially from sliding tab when pulled to confirm.

Thank you all in advance, kindly regards, D_d
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
Ok, had already gotten few hours of sleep.

Now, testing time.

Looks good!
[Android Themes] ^Deadly_Sin^:
looks pretty good to me, nice work ;)
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Rycon33,

For some reason clock and date looks over-aligned in lense lock :S

Which rom are you using?

PS: Thank you for testing this for me!

Hello ^Deadly_Sin^,

Thanks for testing! Yeap it looks good! Which rom are you using?

Regards on both, D_d
[Android Themes] Rycon33:
I'm using extra large font but when I returned to normal font it is still the same.

It's like that even without the testmorph.

I'm using FreeXperia's CM rom btw.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
First of all thank you for the feedback. :)

Well in that case the problem must be located to the rom and not the morph's drawables.

The rest look good with a slight exception on the rotary revamped icon (there is a nasty cut-off on the top of the glass part. Will be fixed for the actual release).

Thank you again Rycon33! Best regards!

Hey D_d, great update! If I can make some requests for a future update, would it be possible to theme the widgets for FlightView Free and either Volume Ace or AudioManager? Thanks a bunch!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello everyone,

Crystal v2.1 is out!

Nothing fancy this week except 20+ new launcher icons, themed Superuser 3 application, two new application widgets themed (requested by users) and an experimental rework on camera interface for 16:9 devices (This particular change looks good on my device, but I'm not quite sure how it would look on other devices)

Also last but not least, the almost full mdpi morph (it does not contain the popups, work in progress till I find an MDPI device to test it personaly). You can find it attached on the third post.

PLEASE CHECK THIS>>>

Regarding the mdpi morph.. Please make a nandroid backup before applying it. Some CM7 ports,

do not contain the ring lockscreen resources

so it is highly possible that this morph will soft-brick your phone.

Please try and report.

Regards to all D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello nyonya,

All requests are going in "the to do" list so these may be included on next update

Hi D_d, it is a very nice update indeed! And just for info, I didn't encounter any problem flashing the mdpi morph.

One last thing though, I hope you don't mind I also want to request for 3 app icons to be themed when you have the time:

Screebl Pro

Wifi file explorer Pro

1Tap cleaner Pro

As always, many thanks to you!

it was the first thing that came up to me when i saw this, and it's awesome!!!:D
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello roi14,

Well the idea for Crystal was to be individual and not a clone of ICS or something else.

I am pretty sure that once ICS is out a lot of themers will bring up their ports from this theme.

Your device is not compatible with this item. Thanks market!

Sent from my CyanoAce powered Galaxy Ace thanks to BehradGH
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello MrChaosDesire,

There are several possible reasons in which this may occur, most common is changed screen density. If so edit your build.prop to revert back.

In many cases also and in custom CM7 ports, devs forget to specify model IDs or similar phone IDs that market needs to identify the use of theme chooser app.

In any case, if you do not find a solution for the market, I have a link to the .apk on first post

;)

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] MrChaosDesire:
Hello Mr. Dev!

Thanks a lot for informing me that! I didnt know changing DPI may cause that. Can I change it after applying the theme?

I chnaged it back to the default DPI. Still ain't working. Must I set it back by build.prop?

[Android Themes] ^Deadly_Sin^:
I'm using Galaxy Ace with CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-BETA2 Android 2.3.7 and i don't have any problems updating the theme through the market. I'm on the original 160dpi. I tried 140 dpi, went back to 160dpi and still i got no problems updating the theme from the market.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
As far as I know market is checking density on the build.prop. Revert back to stock density (you may use Root Explorer) and once you install from market, you can change to the value of your liking.

[Android Themes] elneilios:
Hi Dark Dog,

Just applied your awesome theme on my HTC Wildfire running CM7.1 Build #218. Looks great!

My only issue is that the Morph you supplied doesn't appear to be working correctly on my device. I downloaded the file crystal_fullsystem_mdpi.zip and followed the instructions for ZipThemer. Everything seemed to flash ok but the only visual difference I can see is that the custom application bubble on the lockscreen has been updated. The other bubbles remain the default green colour. I have attached a screenshot for you.

Any ideas?

I will try. Using Root Explorer is never the safest way. Ever. Thanks! Btw, I used your theme before. Very nice looking!

Was just wondering if anyone has found a Fancy Widgets skin that matches this theme. The closest I've seen is the "Anastasia Clock" skin, but the numbers are blurry for me with that one. Thanks!
[Android Themes] arczangel:
Hope there will be support for transparent status bar on cm7. please
[Android Themes] MrPib:
I realize that you asked for a Fancy Widget skin, but I switched to Beautiful Widgets for two reasons -- (1) it's free (and legit) on GetJar, and (2) FW is sometimes slow to update.

That being said, the BW weather skin called CyanogenGlass looks great with this theme, especially if you hide the widget's background.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello arcangel,

Transparent statusbar is something that cannot be straight implemented (as far as I know) and needs to be patched.

Have you looked into CM7 Theme Patcher by ZduneX25?

I haven't used it myself (ubuntu user ;) ) but people report nice results

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
Here's mine with a transparent bar.

Sorry D.d, i love your theme its one of if not the best out there but i had to edit the bar to get transparency. I know i need to adjust the star too but its only temporary till i find something else to fill that gap on the right side caused by switching the icons from left to right.......
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
lol, Hello Scratch0805,

Come on, we all edit themes, icons and resources in general to fit our needs ;)

I provide you with the base and you play around it, so don't be sorry for anything :D

Friendly regards, D_d
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
No worries, errrrmmm while your here any idea what pixel size i should scale my image down to? the star in the top right corner is not supposed to be there i had to paste it to the status bar image.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
In which image do you refer?

To the star? And in what do you want to scale it? Please give me more details :confused:
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
lol, i've been using a trial and error method scaling it down to fit snuggly next to the other icons on my status bar but to me it doesn't look right ever, maybe i should try a different icon. This is why i need something there see the big humongous gap before my icons start.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
As far as I can tell, you are using Crystal on an LDPI device.

Notification icons in LDPI are usually 12x19px (width may vary from 12 till 19 though).

However Crystal is only using HDPI images for the status bar and these are scaled by the system to fit the screen's resolution.

What you need is to make a 24x38px (canvas size) that contains a 24x24 icon.

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
yeh i'm on ldpi :( it sucks, i'm sure i'll crack it soon though thanks for the advice i'll give it a shot tomorrow!!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
In case you need some resources to start with, here is the official icon template for 2.3 platform. Give it a look, it can help you a lot with dimensions.

[Android Themes] DjowBr:
Using this theme on ldpi, working fine, except for torch app, i cant slide the bright bar and the download notification fits, but this is not a problem for me. U can add the transparency of contacts on settings and dialer ?

Great theme, gratz
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
for some reason, thronnos is having problem posting through tapatalk.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello DjowBr,

The problem is located on system's scaling. Crystal is using HDPI dimensions for torch which cannot be scaled properly.

I added some MDPI torch drawables though and from a small test on my mini, it works good and you will be able to check it yourself on Sunday's update :D

Now for the transparency: contacts and dialer have already an amount of transparency. I've made several attempts to do the same with settings background but it breaks Youtube, Facebook, wallpaper picker etc.

Too many problems around it for now :(

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] arczangel:
Thanks! By the way I already patched it, the problem is, our theme crystal, does not support it. Other theme like the "naked simplicity" support transparent status bar. Please make one for it ! Thanks!

[Android Themes] TarrX:
Great theme, any news on the Swype keyboard? It looks a bit alien now.
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
Wouldn't you have to make a separate apk for it, 1 normal 1 transparent, I have 2 versions of crystal on my phone, your original and my edited one, all I did was use apkmanager and gimp to edit the status bar image to turn it transparent, only problem I had is my own noobness, I couldn't figure out how to make it like 50% transparent so it was all or nothing.

An official one from you would be much nicer I reckon.

Maybe with a small twist of cyan colour somewhere in it.
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Yes, this is right. You need two versions. The patcher makes the framework ready for transparent statusbar, so if u have a theme with transparent statusbar, it will show transparency instead of black. The only thing u need to do is to replace the statusbar_background.9 and possibly the _sq with a transparent / semi transparent png. Then u just post a link to the patcher so ppl can ready their phones for transparency ;-)

sent with love from me to you
[Android Themes] DjowBr:
the problem of transparent statusbar is the date over icons on left side.

Thx dark. i will wait the update

Great work
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
The date can be moved to the centre and/or a background added, works perfectly for me.
[Android Themes] moorecp:
I'm on a Droid X (HDPI), but I'm running at 160 density. Your last update to the HDPI morph fixed almost all of the yellow box issues. Currently, the power button menus still suffer from it. Would it be possible to take a look at that? I love the theme. Thanks for all of your work.
[Android Themes] weaselEST:
Maybe my questions are already discussed, but as the thread is pretty big by now I will just ask them again:

1. After phone restart I have to apply the theme again because some element lose their design after restart? Does any of you have encountered this problem?

2. Can I get these theme icons as png's from somewhere as I would like to reuse those icons for my GO Dialer app for example?
[Android Themes] cta.smith:
This is my favorite theme, and I have tried tons of them. My only request would be having a battery that shows the percentage left. I know I can go into cm7 setting and they have an option to show percentages but I am not a fan of the layout.

You could use the same icon (that is already being used) and insert white visible text show the percentage.

Thanks again for the great theme.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello TarrX,

Swype is a quite difficult application to theme. It is using image resources, quite different than the ones used in other .apks and cannot be redirected (no drawables etc) or at least not in a way that I'm aware of :confused:

Hello guys,

Actually I was thinking of including a second image, something like "statusbar_background2.png" but the redirection will not let the second image go through the patching process, so maybe I will just include an .apk with the mod here (not on market).

In general, it was not in my intentions to release a version with transparent status bar (it involves too much of editing and patching)

Regards to all, D_d
[Android Themes] Scratch0805:
I don't blame you mate, updating this must use up enough of your spare time as it is without having to update another one too.

How about just adding transparency as it is now and then forget bout it or just update it every couple of months or so, or just when you've made some really nice change to the original.

Oh...... I'm pretty sure that I'm using background2.PNG for the notification background like in my ss above that might confuse my phone a little.

Edit: or is it me thats confused, with it being an image inside crystal.apk and my background2 being in systemui.apk it would work still I presume.
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello moorecp,

Your density is way too low (original is 240 for HDPI devices) and too much scaling is clipping these .pngs and causing the effect.

Hello weaselEST,

1.You must be moving the theme to your sdcard right? This is a common issue, themechooser themes should NOT be moved to sdcard.

2. I'm not quite sure I understood what you mean. You refer to launcher icons? If so, just open the .apk with a zip unpacking software and pull them :D

Regards on both, D_d
[Android Themes] weaselEST:
1. Actually I didn't do anything - just installed the theme from market and applied.

2. Will try that, thanks.

E: No 2 worked :)
[Android Themes] TarrX:
Thanks for looking into it!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello cta.smith,

This is a request I cannot deliver on. It is something that does not look appealing to me and since Crystal supports CM7's battery percentage mod, it was something I decided to leave out.

I hope you understand my point

Hey Scratch0805,

My main goal was/is to make Crystal, as universal as possible. I need to know that what you see on the market's screenshots, is what you actually get on your phone. At the time we speak, it counts more than 3000+ active installs (without counting downloads and mirrors from off-market sources) and enthusiasts are a small amount of that.

I'm sure that there is a procedure include transparency with a second image and is well described here.

However I need to check it a little bit more.

PS: I will keep updating the theme every week until I need to reserve some time for the next one.
