That really looks like the way to go. Theme the basics (phone, contacts and other system icons), a handful of troublesome market apps (Facebook and Pandora use small logos, Chrome is off-center) and let the masking function take care of the rest.
[Android Themes] sammyycakes:
That is exactly what I do.
[Android Themes] daz.g:
The icon masking certainly works up to a point but I think there is no way it can rival a fully customised and tweaked icon. A lot more work involved but the end result is certainly worth it in my book.

Been researching the iconshader stuff, Check this out:

https://github.com/AnderWeb/ADW.Theme-Template/blob/master/res/xml/noshader.xml

This seems to be the main code.....

<shader version="1.0">

<!-- simple component swap -->
<exec t="OA" m="W" v="IA"/>
<exec t="OR" m="W" v="IB"/>
<exec t="OG" m="W" v="IR"/>
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="IG"/>

</shader>

Got it working with the contrast example at the bottom but really havn't got a clue how to get certain colours short of trial and error ?? Opinions??
[Android Themes] pooley:):
so if I want to theme all the default app icons with greyscale ? or bluescale ? what should I do ?!

[Android Themes] daz.g:
Try changing the last letters all to B in one of the examples? Not tried it myself but shouldn't that make all the colour registers blue scale ?....

Maybe Dennis might be able to help in Apex tut thread......
[Android Themes] wolsrm:
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="IB"/>

If you know programming, it is something like

t = t operate v;

where t and v are variables,

operation can be 'assign', 'multiply', 'add', 'divide' or 'subtract'

so, what it does is perform an operation on "v", then return the result to t

For example,

<exec t="OB" m="W" v="IB"/>

This code does:

Assign "IB" (original blue value between 0-255) to "OB" (result blue value),

you can say that this statement makes nothing changed.

-----------------------

Initially, you must assign values before do operations on them.

<!-- Case1 Same as input value-->
<exec t="OA" m="W" v="IA"/>
<exec t="OR" m="W" v="[COLOR="Red"]IR[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OG" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]IG[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]IB[/COLOR]"/>

<!-- Case2 Set R,G,B to all 0s, obviously its "black"-->
<exec t="OA" m="W" v="IA"/>
<exec t="OR" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OG" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]0[/COLOR]"/>

<!-- Case3 "white"-->
<exec t="OA" m="W" v="IA"/>
<exec t="OR" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]255[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OG" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]255[/COLOR]"/>
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="[COLOR="red"]255[/COLOR]"/>
[Android Themes] sammyycakes:
Woah confusing and don't understand at all.
[Android Themes] wolsrm:
um.....let's say the invert example listed at the bottom of xml

<!-- invert

Initialization:
<exec t="OA" m="W" v="IA"/>
<exec t="OR" m="W" v="255"/>
<exec t="OG" m="W" v="255"/>
<exec t="OB" m="W" v="255"/>

Execution:
<exec t="OR" m="S" v="IR"/>
<exec t="OG" m="S" v="IG"/>
<exec t="OB" m="S" v="IB"/>
-->

Initialization:

set R,G,B to 255 <<< the statements want to do

as we know color has value 0-255,

255 is largest, so the result color after initialization is "White", because all are 255s

Execution:

<exec t="OR" m="S" v="IR"/> means here we perform 255 - IR, and put the result to OR

where 255 is what we get from initialization

assume IR(original Red value) = 50, 255 - 50 = 205, then OR(output Red value) is 205.

After 3 executions (R,G,B), you will get the inverted color
[Android Themes] sammyycakes:
Ok makes a little more sense. Will have to read up on it. Thanks for your help :)
[Android Themes] wolsrm:
Just be careful don't exceed the range 0-255

For example,

<exec t="OR" m="W" v="IR"/> <<< OR = IR

<exec t="OR" m="S" v="IR"/> <<< OR - IR

after execution, R = 0

========================================

If you want grey scale, just think about RGB attributes

as we know

when R,G,B have same value, e.g. 25,25,25 or 150,150,150, the result color is "grey",

maybe its light grey, or dark grey... but it's "grey"

However, if you assign a constant number to RGB, it will give you whole grey image.

because every pixels has same grey scale.

<exec t="OR" m="W" v="150"/>

<exec t="OG" m="W" v="150"/>

<exec t="OB" m="W" v="150"/>

So, each pixel should have its own grey scale.

<exec t="OR" m="W" v="IR"/>

<exec t="OG" m="W" v="IR"/>

<exec t="OB" m="W" v="IR"/>

Basically, you can use one color value as grey scale for each pixel,

assign to RGB in order to get the same value (grey) for each pixel

now the result is already "grey"

you can add your own execution to modify contrast, saturation ...etc

========================

Off topic: sorry for my poor English. hope u understand:p
[Android Themes] daz.g:
Great info, thanks for that. So how to give all icons a certain colour hue ? - like blue or red....
[Android Themes] wolsrm:
For quick demo,

as you already have grey hue,

add this additional execution to increase red value

<exec t="OR" m="A" v="100">

all icons turn to red,

but of course you need some further adjustment(execution) to optimise yr result
[Android Themes] LOBBS:
Awesome. I finally got my first icon pack built. Many thanks to Sammy for her patience as I bugged her last night.

I've got a few things to tweak yet like getting the pack to show up on Widgetlocker and figuring out what to name the launcher icon. Then I'll share it here as I don't have a dev account yet on the Play Store.
[Android Themes] Chrome Wings:
Just a quick question about file sizes with themes if anyone can help. I started on my go launcher theme a few weeks ago and originally I believe the .apk file was 2.9mb with basic icons for default common apps.

Since adding 70 custom icons the file size has become 4.2mb already, this is with 112x112 .pngs in the xhdpi folder and I think its 96x96 in the hdpi folder. the only other large file within my theme would be the app drawer image at about 150kb.

Considering my current custom icons replaced about 25 older ones already in the template I'm looking at an increase of about 1.5mb per 100 custom icons to the apk file. I can probably get this down another 30% using compression of the pngs but I don't know if it will be enough considering I intend to have 500+ icons.

My question is what would people recommend I do, does the apk file size seem too big as most themes I see on the market are a lot smaller with more icons or is this expected with high quality (res) themes. Will it affect performance in any way. I was looking to increase the xhdpi icons to 140x140 as I've seen themes on market boasting this and saying HD.

Any info appreciated greatly thanks.
[Android Themes] LOBBS:
I've had icon packs that I purchased from the Play Store with over a 1000 icons that weighed in at over 30 mb.

There are tools out there that optimize .PNG files to make them as small as possible that you can also look into.

Depending on what style you're after you could also look into the icon mask option. That greatly reduces the number of pre-built icons required in your pack. I used that on the icon pack I just built and it came in at just over 3 mb and that was with my icons at xxhdpi (144 x 144) and several dozen pre-built icons for the difficult ones.
[Android Themes] :
96x96 in xhdpi & 144x144 in xxhdpi.
[Android Themes] LOBBS:
Here's my first icon pack. Still trying to figure a few things out. Feel free to let any constructive criticism fly.

I was mainly trying to build some icons to match my favorite UCCW clock and it always aggravated me that the icons in the drawer didn't match. It's a little heavy on the Sense icons because I prefer them to AOSP.

http://www.mediafire.com/?p10ms65607ai2d6
[Android Themes] Chrome Wings:
I see thanks for the reply at least I know now not to worry too much about the size I'll have to compress them when I get a chance seen as it won't result in much noticeable loss in quality. What resolution do you think is best for xhdpi seen as at the moment I'm using 112x112 I'd like to use a higher res like 144x144 as you've suggested and advertise it as being HD.

Also would it be possible for me to simply have the icons in the xhdpi folder only and delete them from hdpi to save space. Would it cause issues with the display on some devices and would each device scale them accordingly. At moment as I am still creating the theme I have 112x112 icons in both hdpi and xhdpi folders to save time and I was going to sort the resolutions at a later date but I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to all these DPI folders all the others are empty and it has run fine so far with 112x112 in hdpi and xhdpi so I'm a bit confused really.
[Android Themes] LOBBS:
I made a xxhdpi folder in the eclipse project and with the exception of a plain icon named icon.png in the correct size for the resolution of the folder deleted all other images from the other folders.

So in the xxhdpi folder you'd place your 144x144 files. In xhdpi, you'd have a single plain icon called icon.png at 96 x 96. In hdpi, a single plain icon at 72 x 72, etc.

Guys -

I installed the Splashtop 2 on my Nexus 7 running AOKP and Trinity Krenel, and it bricked my device twice. Just running the software and suddenly it crashes, then no buttons work. Then the screen starts to flash and it shuts down. I was unable to get into recovery. I need to push a new recovery to get it running back again. This has happen twice today. Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Hemidroids:
Its bricked?

So you put it in the trash or sent it back to ASUS?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tdrussell:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is not related to splashtop.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sensory:
I had an issue using Splashtop 2 today that freaked me out a little. Going from Sharp to Smooth froze my N7 and when it booted back up, which took longer than usual, the speaker made a faint but distinct "hissing" noise then a louder "tap"

Everything is working again but that's never happened before. Not sure I liked Splashtop 2 enough to bother with it after that.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
No.. I know how to get out of a jam. The device would not boot afterward the system froze, then rebooting I got stuck at Google screen. Then it wouldn't get into recovery from bootloader I had to flash a new recovery and flash back up. Sounds like it was bricked at the time to me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
I would see why you would say this....however this happened twice when using the new splashtop. My set up or system has not changed in days. Only thing that changed was me installing splashtop. Once I stopped using it and went back to the old one. No issues. Someone else n the market review described the same thing to a t.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ape1720:
Installed HD2 this morning and same problem, freeze when changing from sharp to smooth. Hard reset twice, to get it to boot now the speaker sounds like its blown, was streaming some video from the PC. Running EOS + stock kernel.

Something isn't right with it that's for sure, avoid for now is my advice.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Hemidroids:
Oh......so its not a brick. Might want to change the title.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Harry GT-S5830:
The only reason he can't access recovery is because of a bug in boot loader 3.34 :) so its even less of a brick and more of a don't OV and OC :)

Influx of noobs? I've been around XDA a bit longer than you. I am deeply sorry forum wordsmith for using the word brick not in the fashion you so desired.

Try acessing recovery through boot loader on a healthy N7 and not plugged in, you will find that you can't access recovery. There's quite a few "Q" threads saying that I OC to 1600 and overvolted by 50MHz across the board, and my nexus fried? Why is this??

Just asking, but are you sure you have the exact same options checked (wimax, system, etc) as you had when you made the backup?

I would also have it make a backup of the existing software, to make sure it generates the correct file structure on the SD card, and then copy the one you want to restore onto the phone. The backups should be in folders sorted by date if memory serves, so I would copy the entire folder to the new device.

I might also try by un-checking the "enable MD5 checking of backups files" box.

Good luck,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepctech:
I have switched from Sprint to Verizon and I now have 2 unused HTC EVOS (both rooted). I would like to do one of two things.

1. Is it possible to flash a rom that turns off all radios except for Wi-Fi and maybe GPS? The cell radios kill my battery, and I'd like to maybe use these as Android iPod touches, for media playback and games. If I do this they will never need cell access, so I'd like to turn that off like Airplane mode, while leaving wi-fi on.

2. The second option would be to flash these phones to a pay as you go service like trac-phone. That way the kids would have a pay as you go phone.

If anyone has information on how to do either of these that would be great, keep in mind that the phone numbers these phones have been moved to Verizon, so if someone has info on option 2, I would need a phone number on the phones, maybe google voice or something.

Thanks for any info!
