Hey Wolf quick question on the Black Glass skin. If I do anything that needs confirmation( ie delete an email or make a change for a contact) the box that comes up is white on white. The Cancel and Ok buttons are white. Is that because in the Blueberry Theme the box is black on black and the skin inverts it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Correct, I posted 1.1 today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
This is where we find what I screwed up. And that is one of them. Busy all day tomorrow. Will try to get it fix later this week.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
6.5 is up Wolf. Mikey said he updated some core apps and made a fix for the message app as well as a fix for those still having issues with contact lag.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Ok, thanks

Gmail & ESExplorer updates posted in OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
Hey wolf the link for the GMail and ES File Explorer is broken for some reason
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Link is now fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Anyone try the newest theme on mean 6.5.1 with the contact lag fix? I'm gonna give it a go tonight, just wondering if someone else already has
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Give me a chance to look at what he changed. Can not do it till tomorrow. It may be just jar edits or changes to the apk's... For mms I am sure it is the apk. Not sure about contacts. I never saw the lag with contacts, but I also O/C with battery tweaks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Cool thanks timber ill wait
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I'm on 6.5.1 and it works. The theme worked before TW updated it for the Gmail, etc. The only difference between 6.5 and .1 is the lag fix.

Thanks TW!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
MMS apk was changed and some other system files. 2.5 Blueberry theme posted in OP, enjoy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I'm having trouble finding the new blueberry theme in the Op. Is it the "full glass theme"?

Edit: never mind. I can't read or something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Did u find it yet? Just below the notification icons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Is it possible to center the clock with the blue glass theme like Kang Kong red has? I've been on it so long and am accustomed for the clock to be in the center. Just wondering great work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I'm diggin the Blueberry theme great job! I still wish the clock was centered but I'm grateful for what I have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
New Blue Skin Coming

New skin on it's way. Here's some pics .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
You are right the clock does look off centered. The images are created exactly pixel by pixel as the orginal HTC clock. Will have to look at his clock.

Edit: The images are in the correct position, it all depends on what the time is. The 1 will take up less space than the 3 or the 9.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
No I ment litterly the whole digits being dead center above the widget clock like so... not to the right. (old screenshot from ViperROM)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Oooh I want I want!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
I think they are taking about the clock in the notification area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Lol, now I understand.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Never say never, I found out how to change the home icon on the navbar in a skin. Still need to change a few more images. Then maybe the keyboard and dialer buttons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Awesome! Can't wait till it hits viper Rom! Nice work man!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
The skin will work on any rom, not just the mean rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Duh its a skin not a theme my bad...Now I gotta flash the blue theme again so everything matches :D

I love your work. I'm literally drooling on what you make :)

I got a Dell Streak 5 and I'm not sure if I can flash your skins on my phone. But I'm using Video Live Wallpaper to create some moving wallpapers and I used your blue dragon theme and made the dragon move. I couldn't find the icons you used in the apk, like the beautiful widgets clock background, which I can't find either. So I used the Clock background from one of your other skins and colored them blue and put some glow around it.

Anyway, it looks pretty awesome on my Streak. Have a look. I put it on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC8GxWJJh00
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Wow that looks really cool. Can u post the live wallpaper??? I normally don't like life wallpaper but that one is cool.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
Here are the mp4 files. One with the Dell Streak animation and one with just the Blue Dragon. 480x800 coz those are my Streaks dimensions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Do you flash these?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SeriouslyCrazy:
Download the UCCW App and import the clock skin. I use Desktop Visualizer app to set the icons so these can be used on any Android device. No flashing necessary or changes to your ROM, theme or launcher

Both apps are free on the PlayStore

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
I noticed there was a little blue artifact on the right side. I removed that. Also made 2 new ones with the original clock background.

Thanks again Timberwolf for your beautiful work.

Tomorrow I'm gonna fiddle about with the black glass theme.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
Nice job bro! Good to see you over here...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
I made them for my Dell Streak (480x800). Dimensions aren't the same as HTC.

Maybe I'll make one at 720x1280. I guess those are HTC dimensions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Correct, thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
Here's a 720x1280 mp4.

I also made the bitrate higher for better quality. My streak can't handle that but the HTC can I think. I can't test if it lines up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] D_BASS_22:
wow! what a theme..any chance of somebody makin this in red? looks sick
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
This is such an awesome skin! Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
TImber, are you ready to keep up with Mikey on the rom updates? I don't mind if you decided to skip a release with your theme ie. do the theme on versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
So I take it JB was released, Fantastic!

We both have our work cut out for us.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Fits perfect bro but the only problem is its not a smooth animation its real laggy kinda stuttering when it moves..not sure if the fps is too high or not
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
Must be the high bitrate. I made one of around 1600kbps. Attached it. Try that one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Will do thanks man ill let ya know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Hey guys here is a noop question... How did u get this work? If I try to flash I get failed????????? This is an mp4 format and will play in any media player. How are u getting this to be a live wallpaper?

Download video live wallpaper in the market then choose live wallpaper click on preview then settings then choose the download path where you downloaded it too

Still getting the lag with this one...seems a lil better tho but still very noticeable
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:

Learned something new today. Did not know there was an app for live wallpapers. Opens up a whole new set of options for backgrounds.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Anytime bro all the help you have given me I'm glad I can help you out a lil :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Almost had a new clear skin to post. Guess I can put that to the side now with JB. Tried the glass skin on my wife's phone that is still stock and updated JB and it does not work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I'm not going to JB just yet I might give it a try but I won't use it daily I need my tweaks and your themes or else my phone is just boring so as soon as you get to jelly bean I'm gonna jump ship with ya cuz I can't live without my blue :D you can always just make themes just for me bro ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
HTC replaced most of the green with blue, the only noticeable green is the battery but I will make a quick battery mod this evening that will fix that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Don't forget the green for the call button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
LOL you got it captain
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
Did you get the lag with the 480x800 mp4? You know, the one that didn't line up?

Coz on my old Dell Streak I don't have any lag.

I'm no expert on all the different phone models, but since your phone specs are higher than mine I thought it would be capable of playing HD movies.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Sorry didn't mean it like an order.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
No I didn't get the lag with the 480x800 it was perfect just didn't line up

Ugh I think I may need some help with my script in the zip. Flash failed, using an old ICS script
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Can't help, yet to dl jb. Maybe this weekend or sooner of I can.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ace38:
Made a last one (no more after this :D). 16fps, 1mbps, 720x1280. Should work. Also, check if you have "Do not skip frames" checked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Well fine be that way then :D ill give it a shot later and let ya know I just downloaded JB so I'm gonna give it a go...thanks for fixing this tho I appreciate it :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Seems like the battery icons are no longer in systemui. Gonna check the one x forums and see how they doing it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Just finished dl of JB. Did u find what was wrong with the script for flashing???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
No didn't find it but I moved the apk over with root explorer and set permissions. Maybe the perms were wrong?

X X X

X

That's what I set above...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I'm loving this new jb Rom all I'm missing now is tweaks and a theme (hint hint) :D ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
I just flashed one of the mods from the one x forums, nothing happened and it said the flash was successful. I give up I'm going to let the pros figure it out first
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I definitely need a different battery I hate not having the percentage ya know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
I understand, I hate the stock feel of even JB with most of the green gone. There is still too much. The main reason I am holding flashing JB until I at least have something to flash for the battery icons and a skin. Working on the skin and will test with my wife's stock JB phone. This is going to take a few days or a week to even get a basic theme together. Hang in there, it's in the works. A lot of the system files have changed. We can not just drop the old ICS images in and off we go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Not a problem bro I can handle it for now (cuz I have to lol) take your time I know its a lot of work so no rush my man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
No way to rush, lol. There are thousands of images to edit or copy over. Some have there name changed so I have to try and match visually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Well find a way I'm dying here lol j/k I just wish I knew how to do it then maybe I can help out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AgoeZ:
Battery icon in fact still in systemui.apk bro. Trust me. :)

"stat_sys_battery_xx.png and _charge_animxx.png" not sure with systemui.apk from evo lte though. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Thanks. I don't know why the new apk won't take. I'm on vipers deodex stock rom. Chubbz just made one with blue battery percentage so I will flash that for the time being.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Can you point me in the direction of that battery please :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
It's in the regular android dev section. Look for Chubbz rom.

I couldn't flash over without doing a full wipe so I did a full wipe and restored data from twrp to get most of my apps back. Had to TB just a few afterwards

It is a theme.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
It is a theme based on the ICS Blueberry theme with a few changes like the clock numbers. Almost everything else is the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
Sweet and this will work for all the new jelly bean roms like viper and mean? Just want to make sure
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
This based on the Mean Jelly Bean rom. For now I would guess that it will work for most JB roms. But as time goes by and the guys add their own mods to each rom the answer will turn to no.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I'd like to see the blue dragon theme but black gloss would be sweet too...but for viper of course :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
I tried all the photo widgets and the only one that did this was photo grid. I do not think this related to theme. When you or I flash the the rom again, we need to check if this working prior to installing the theme.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Lol, give me some time. What u see done so far took 7 hours of work to port from ICS to JB. Most of it was just matching images. What was done for ICS rom took months to do. I need to get the base theme done first, then I can start on all the other theme. For the viper, we need a rom first first. Unless I missed seeing one posted.

The photo grid doesn't work on my phone either but I don't know if it worked before flashing your theme or not cuz I don't use it I'm on vipers Rom so I'm thinking its prob a jb issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:

Wow, I appreciate the time you put into this. Especially this time of year
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Viberboy did put out the stock JB rom but I not call it a viper rom. It's bone stock without any mods. I had a few f/c's with that rom and I would suggest you flash the mean rom until the Viper team as a chance to get out a rom based on the current JB rom. Mikeyxda fixed all of the problems I found in Viberboy's release. Not to say the rom is all there, it's not. The battery drain in much higher than I would like. But it is a new release, I need to follow my own works "Give it some time to get things done".

Edit: BTW if you flash any other rom it must be the deodex version!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Thanks for the feedback, just getting ready to flash .3... I am still s-on and with hboot 1.19 so I do not have the latest firmware. I plan on un-rooting and install the RUU today to get the firmware, then root again. Cross your finger's nothing goes wrong. I've had two LTE died on me during an s-off process and during a reboot after a theme flash. I hate this process !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
**Trav crosses fingers and calls 20 people to tell them to cross their fingers as well** I agree the process sucks but without root, we would be IPhone Users. LoL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I haven't had any problems with this Rom but I might give meanrom a shot at least until they get the venom tweaks for this then I gotta go back to viper...I always flash the deodex versions so no worries there
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sharky17:
So glad you got this out so quick! I plan on updating to MeanBean today and flashing this. Great job as always
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmramirez1973:

I had set up all my home screens before I flashed the theme (wiping cache and dalvik) when I rebooted I got that only on the grid widget.

Any ideas. Thank you.

MeanRom (MeanBean) now is great. Well worth the tryout. He has tweaked a few things and it's very smooth and great battery life. He also updates it often and is very responsive on fixing any issues.

Donation sent! I have been using your themes for a while now and love them. I haven't put the latest one since MeanBeam updated to .3 I wasn't sure if it is ready for his update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
After a long day getting back to stock so I could take the OTA update. And flashing the unlock working fine but I was unable to install a custom recovery system (TWRP). After many attempts with the drivers provided it was a no go. I finally installed the HTC Sync drivers and tried again. This time it work! So now I am back to before but with the latest firmware and the Mean Rom. After install the latet .3 release and checking the photo grid widget I fine that it is working. As before I think it was the rom and not my theme since I didn't even touch the apk's related to that widget. Try the latest rom and see if that works for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
Yea but you are on the old firmware or you are s-off and was able to update it with the available zips. Me with still on s-on and not wanting to be s-off'd. This was the best way for me. The rom worked fine with the old firmware even if Mikeyxda said it was a must to update to the latest. At least I got it all working and that is what counts even if it did take me most of the day.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
Hey Wolf I flashed the latest JB Blueberry Theme and its BAD AZZ! I tried the photo widget and it works without any issue. Great job as usual. Can't wait to see what else you pull from your bag of tricks for this rom.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billyho7993:
I'm s-on cuz I'm scared to try s-off considering I have no internet except for my phone so if I screw it up I'm without a phone and the only thing I updated was my baseband to 1.12 and I just did it yesterday I'm not sure what difference it makes but I've never had any problems even when on 1.02
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timberwolf671:
As the saying goes, if it ain't broke then don't fix it. Using the method I use is safe now that I know HTC bas changed its USB drivers. U have to install HTC latest Sync usb drivers since the older ones do not work with the latest OTA.

And it is the hboot that needs upgrading but the radio and other firmware.
