[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] MicroGeek:
The only negative i have to say about this theme is that the animations are stock animations from our phone and they are not smooth. Can you use stock android animations or the animations from Kyrillos' ROM because they are smoother?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
App package doesn't rely on theme. It just replaces apps. Yes, you can flash this on any ROM out there. I updated app package where update-script deletes all apps with other names so there won't be any duplicates of the same app after flashing. (eg. Calculator.apk -> TouchWizCalculator and so on) So please use app package 2.0.1 where this duplication bug is fixed by deleting apps with non-stock names and replacing them with themed ones.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
I did it.

Thanx

It's awesome
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] austin266:
Any update this week..??
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Currently Im on CM7. Of course there will be an update soon. I'm.just stuck at calendar's colors and some issues with camera icons. Next update will include themed sms, phone, contacts and clockpackage as I already started to work on theese.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] V!KR@M:
works on kyrillos v9.7.1 ?

As i have read somewhere that kyrillos v9.7.1 is odexed, does this theme works on it? If it doesn't, it would be great if you can make for odexed rom
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
I'll try to get it to work with ALL roms... Finally I have time for this theming again :)

Thanks to all for the support :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
It worked for me
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
I noticed one thing.

When I installed these sgs2 apps on kyrillos 9.7.1 g3 mod 2.4 non oc, it installed media hub.

But when I installed this on purumod and kyrillos (again) with fugumod installed, it didn't instal media hub.

Any solution?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Media hub? What is the name of the apk? I know only of Social Hub...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Sorry my bad...:p

Ya I meant social hub

Sorry for the mistake.

Ya so what about social hub?

It isn't appearing on roms with fugu
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Kernel doesnt have any effect for this type of apps I think... strange...

BUT, I'm now flashing ROMs in order to test my universal zip for all roms :D

So I can look to it what's happening with this app disappearing thing :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Pls do see
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Any success
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Just figured out your problem :D

"No space left on device"

Be sure to wait for the big universal update! I'm doing some pretty progress with that.

I just need to rework update-script in my two update.zips.

I'm testing it right now on Kyorarom 0.5.2 then I'll move on to the next custom froyo roms to make sure its working on all of them.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
how is the progress with the universal zip
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
could u implement more exciting looks from here

especially the notif bar and setings
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
This is S2 theme so no S3 :D

Progress:

1. I wont continue with S2 App package. Because as far as my tests are going, this package doesn't work on ANY custom ROM PROPERLY out there. And I think most of you guys will stay with CUSTOM roms than STOCK XXJPS where this package was working well.

Apps were not flashed due to No space left on device error, rom developers doesn't use stock apk names, so that's why I choose rather not to continue with this package because it will be worth nothing.

2. Theme package works fine, just a little minor things to be adjusted.

Works on:

Kyrillos' ROM 9.7.1

M12 ROM v3.0

Not tested:

Purumod v3.2

And for the Kisadworx ROM 2.4.9 I have to add another update.zip with gingerbread-based recovery support (this ROM's recovery needs it).

That's it! Wait for the next release, this is not the only thing I was working on.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
UNIVERSAL version 1.4 uploaded! Make sure you read whole 1st post before flashing!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
IF I FLASH (SAY FUGU BETA 2.4 OC) on kisadsworx, would this theme work?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

so after a sucessfull universal.zip for sgs2, would u be planning for sgs3 theme too and is that theme possible for froyo roms??
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
1.) Kernel doesn't change the behaviour of theme. So, it will work anyway.

2.) For now I want to figure out why is CMX Jelly Bean so laggy compared to ICS on G3 and I see some anonying FCs with Froyo now. So I prefer to stay with higher versions of Android and try to play with them again rather than making another theme (as it requires a lot of time).

Don't worry, I'll be pushing updates to this project too...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
I was referring to kisadworx
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Kisadworx uses other type of recovery that needs EDIFY scripting (updater-script and update-binary) and due to this the update.zip won't work. However, you still can push files from update.zip via adb and that will work.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
didnt work on purumod 3.2 or purumod 3.0 DEODEXED

causes bootloop after first reboot
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rai_tushar:
yes u r right it did same for me
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Did you set permissions? I forgot to write that to update-script...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Uh oh, double post, sorry.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Nope
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Any development going on?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Arjav, do you still have bootloop with the latest version of my ujiversal theme even if you push twframework-res and framework-res to phone via adb and change permissions as

chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res

chmod 644 /system/framework/twframework-res

Try that and report if you have any problem please. Thhanks.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Ok

I will try but on Sunday

I have a test on Sunday so after that I will try
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Seriously speaking , I don't know how to use adb.

Is there another way?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Never mind, new testing going on... Wait for the next update...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
The social hub app that u had added is quite diff from the actual one

The actual one even has option to link fb and email

Y?

Hey...don't forget to thank me!!!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
App package discontinued, so no support from now on for it.

But it could be because of I used app from different base (XXJPS).
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Hmmm just one more q

The messaging app that u had included in that package was just themed or was it an entire app?

Hey...don't forget to thank me!!!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Themed, but as of 2.0.1 only icon themed.

Anyway, I'm making another great progress with compatibility for purumod and kisadworx ROMs. Read OP and you get one clue :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
But ur package has a mms.apk?

Is that just themed or?

Hey...don't forget to thank me!!!!!

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Looks good

Probably u could now try for a tw5 theme

Hey...don't forget to thank me!!!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
I say again, only icon is themed in mms.apk.

Right now I'm almost done with update packages...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Fikul:
Gingerbread based ? There is a way to use it on cm7 ?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Is it working on purumod and purukisadhybrid?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Read OP again. Thread has [FROYO] tag.

Gingerbread-based RECOVERY. That means EDIFY SCRIPTING to use with update.zip - updater-script and update-binary.

Froyo-based RECOVERY means AMEND SCRIPTING - update-script.

We have unofficial ported CWM recoveries and they don't depend on Android versions IFAIK.

Here's error definition you'll get when you try to apply update.zip with AMEND scripting in recovery that supports only EDIFY:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

More in-depth explanation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897026

Kisadworx supports EDIFY only and Kyrillos' ROM has support for AMEND scripting. That's why there are those options.

@Arjav23 - Compatibility with Purumod and Kisadworx ROM is still under construction... You can see links not ready yet... And now its time for one rule:

DO NOT ASK IF ITS COMPATIBLE, JUST MAKE BACKUP AND FLASH ZIP THAT MATCHES SPECS OF YOUR ROM

:p

(eg. Kyrillos' ROM has 9lockscreenmod and uses amend scripting, so you should flash 9lockscreen FROYO-based update.zip).

I hope I cleared those things for you now.

EDIT: I hope that I'll release rest of update.zips till next weekend. I'm experiencing a lot of bootloops and failed atempts to port this theme to Kisad and Purumod ROMs... I hope this will get fixed soon. :p

Stay tuned!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Scorpionek:
Please continue work with theming apps
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
THE BAD NEWS:

I don't think this will be a good idea as there will be a lot of problems in custom roms - the main problem is space in /system and second is apk naming system - each ROM developer uses different app naming - eg. Touchwiz launcher app will be named differently in different ROMS - Kyrillos' ROM - Launcher.apk (I think) but in eg. Kisadworx - TWLauncherMOD.apk therefore in stock samsung roms it should be default TouchWiz30Launcher.apk. I prefer not to continue FOR NOW (later maybe) with this package (it requires EVEN more time than the actual framework theming).

THE GOOD NEWS:

S2 THEME IS WORKING ON PURUMOD 3.2

ODEXED

! Finally no more bootloops! Will update OP soon...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
In that case, would it also work on purukisadhybrid?

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
I hope so! Still testing & tweaking :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
New version updated!

I've uploaded zip for (I think) all ROMs now. This should be working with all - ODEXED/DEODEXED ROMs, just choose proper zip for your ROM.

One rule:

DO NOT ASK IF ITS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ROM YOU'RE USING. JUST MAKE A BACKUP AND FLASH THE ZIP THAT MATCHES SPECS OF YOUR ROM.

Thanks for understanding.

If you have problems/still bootloops after flashing a zip that should be for your ROM and that's not working, report it here. In case you'll find any bug, post it here, too. Thanks. Enjoy!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Working on purukisadhybrid

But why haven't you themed or modded any app??

I was expecting a colorful settings app

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
If I would theme Settings.apk, some ROMs will be bootlooping because settings.apk depends on lockscreenmod. Google the source of it. I don't want to break this compatibility. BTW, theme zip includes S2 THEME, not apps.

However, app package in progress again...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Ok

great .never stop app package it was cool

Maybe you could create diff zips for diff apps

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jakubekz1994:
Great job!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
New version - v2.0 is out!

This is it! v2.0 is out:

Changelog:

- App package updated to 1.2.5 -> some cleanups and adjustments to update-script

- Fixed bad popup_top, popup_center and popup_bottom.9.png color

- Themed NoSim and bluetooth call notification icon

- Fixed dividers in list views for 1lockscreen framework-res.apk

- Power menu with no header (no "Phone options" title) - you don't have to scroll now

- Some cleanups to twframework-res.apk

- Themed "Clear" notifications button and btn_toggle XML (looks more like S2 now)

- Themed twframework-res.apk to show S2-like Music, FMRadio, VoiceRecorder, Phone in-built notification background and icons

- Themed some buttons in twframework-res.apk

- Fixed wrong menu background color (black -> gray)

Hope you'll like it! Now let's theme all remaining apps! Challenge accepted. :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Will it work properly on purukisadhybrid?

As in that space issue?

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
THEME and SETTINGS:

should work without problems on any ROM now, if not, tell me and I'll try to adjust it...

APPS:

NOT TESTED ENOUGH, I will have to look at it. Another thing, you'll have some deodexed apps, because from what I've seen, odexing my themed apps will make complete mess in ROMs (due to frameworks).
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rekooo:
Issue with dialer in purukysadhybrid rom. Top line is themed but buttons bellow (whole bottom part where's 123456789 call/sms/delete) ain't themed at all (it has stock ICS theme) :>
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
It isn't issue. It is not themed. That's all. App package is experimental for now...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rekooo:
Sorry, just forgot how themeing works on froyo.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Could you Pls tell me if you are getting any major problem after flashing app package in purukisadhybrid?

What is your /system status?

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
That's our biggest problem... ROM won't have space for themed apps.

When I flashed v1.2.5 to Purumod, updater-script first deleted all .apk files what will be rewritten and then all .odex files (themed apps are deodexed, so no need for odex files) BUT, I think it is the free space tingy that made Purumod bootlooping after deleting apps then not having space to flash new -> no required apps in /system/app anymore due to low space -> bootloop.

How do I free up space from /system (even teporarily to make space for the process of flashing themed apps)? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
I flashed the settings.apk for 1 lock screen

Now I don't have a settings app!!!!!!

I tried to access it via the launcher too, but it says application not installed

Hey.... don't forget to thank me!!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rekooo:
Well.. one major problem is that phone is stuck in a bootloop after flashing app-package.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
OK, I'm gettings sick of bootloops... I will remove update.zip for app package and instead of this I'll provide separate APKs that you can flash to your system via ADB or ROOT EXPLORER or something yourself. It will solve a lot of bootloops. What do you guys think?

@Arjav - I just flashed 1lock Settings on Purumod and working fine.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
i too flashed s2_settings1lock.zip ,but on purukisadhybrid

i got a msg that settings wasnt installed on my phone

perhaps you need a .odex file for settings?

its a brilliant idea to provide separate .apk

by doing so, ppl can install their choice of apps as per their /system space
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
2.2 is out!

Changelog of 2.2

- fixed jog_tab_bar icons (lockscreen sliders/phone answer sliders)

- Fixed updater-script - some stuff didn't appear when using 2.0 theme zip.

- Maybe some more... :D

I think this will be the last theme update. Nothing to tweak more. All done I think.

If you want to help with the app theming, feel free to tell me! It will be much faster to finish it. Still a lot to be done with those S2-like apps.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Fikul:
Can you port this theme to CM7 by Marcell ?? Or create a Touchwiz 5 theme, it will be very nice :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
There already are bunch of TW4/5 themes for CM7. Just Search Play Store. I created this theme for froyo because of touchwiz is already included in froyo. This way it looks more "touchwizzy" than in CM. But I must say that TW5 theme for CM9/10 doesn't look bad, too...

@Everyone - check newly themed Camera.apk!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Fikul:
But TW4/5 themes for CM7 are crappy... there is no a good one....
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Since i am on pkhybrid would i need a .Odex file for camera.apk
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
No. You need to delete it before flasing themed Camera.apk. Flashing my themed Camera.apk basically deodex the apk.

So you need to delete .odex file after flashing the themed apk.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
i tried

but no camera app now:eek::eek:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] pkatsaras:
Hi! I've installed Kyrillos 9.7.1 in my father's G3 device...It is odexed, so can I install this theme? He doesn't like the Gingerbread style theme of the ROM. I've searched before asking but I couldn't find a clear answer... :S
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
U can install

But i think this theme gives more gb like ui
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Hey why have you put so many audios in your theme

May be that's why too the /system gets full
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] twinky444:
Hmm, not bad idea to delete that... Didn't thought of it :D Will do a little tweaking...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
Good luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The boot.img contains the kernel, the ramdisk and the RPM block, a.k.a. everything needed for it to run. CM10 nightlies and AOKP can already be flashed without a PC.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steryman:
Okay now it comes the noob question: Does it works without unlocking bootloader?

And I hope the devs will implement this in other ROMs too like KA Speed
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
KA also has that already IIRC. Won't work with a locked BL.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steryman:
Ok then I'm sorry for starting this thread... Oh and the final question: I assume it's not really hard to make a kernel flashable inside recovery, right? I mean, if I want to unlock my bootloader and after flashing CM10 I want back to stock, I just have to compile a stock boot.img then set the update-script...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can just flash back to stock with flashtool, cause I assume that's what you'll use anyway. Also, *shameless plug*, give AOKP a try, too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steryman:
OFC I will, I use CM as example cuz it's faster to write :D I asked cuz maybe sometimes I won't be able to reach PC to restore my phone to stock... that's why I'm asking :D

Anyway let's talk on PM... don't want to flood the forum with my questions xD
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Junkyardspecial:
Ive been trying to install Glorious overdose for three days now and no matter what I do, I cant get my SK4G to boot into CWM, im rooted, have rom manager and have the zip for GO 3.3 in my root folder but it just seems to boot to normal recovery no matter what I do, any help please? I read that rom manager doesnt work, is that still true?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
Have you overwritten the stock recovery file on your phone? You'll need a file manager that can use SU in addition to root access. Also, you'll need to mount your internal storage as rw in order to overwrite the stock recovery using the root file manager of your choice.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Junkyardspecial:
Alright, bear with me I am a mega noob, I pick up on thigns fast though.

I have ES File explorer, and downloaded total commander, I tried to overwrite the recovery file in the system/bin and it says SU error, only giving me the option to Skip "failed /mnt/sdcard/sdcard" cross device link

Im not really sure how to mount/ unmount
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
I would download Ghost Commander from Google Play. It supports SU mode and is free. Most options to do anything can be accessed through the menu key. You'll have to enable root/SU mode in Ghost Commander since it's not enabled by default. Plus, you'll need to copy the file in that app and mount the file system as rw- (read-write). I forget the folder off-hand where the recovery is located at. *Standard Disclaimer*: Do these things at your own risk.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Junkyardspecial:
See, I still have no idea how to mount or unmount lol. And Ill try that, thanks

I moved file to bin with the ghost commander app, it had a #rw next to the bin folder name. Now how to check mounts?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:
I'm guessing you are referring to checking mounts during ROM installation? That is done in CWM itself. If it says # means you have root and if it says rw means you have read and write capabilities. Once you have that, move the recovery.bin you downloaded from krylon and move it to system. It should ask you if you want to replace existing recovery. Then once thats there and you have the update zip on the root (main part of your SD card, not a folder or anything), go into normal Samsung recovery and reinstall. Should take you to CWM if you moved recovery correctly! Thats when you need to check mounts.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SidekickColor:
I haven't used Ghost Commander, but I downloaded the free version of SuperManager 3.0 to move the recovery file.

If you use SuperManager, you just go to the file manager (slide to screen 4, top left), you will start out in MNT/SDCARD. First, click the menu button and choose "setup." You will see "ROOT" and click on it, check "Enable ROOT function" then you will be promoted by SuperUser [su] to allow access, hit yes. Back out of the menu so that you are back to the SDCard [note: sometimes you find that you are in the system file after enabling root, if so scroll to the top and click 'Back up level folder' then choose 'SDCard' If you get a popup which says "Switch system r/w" at the top, choose "R/W"].

Once back at MNT/SDCARD, scroll to the recovery file, click and hit 'copy'. Scroll back to the top and click 'Back up level folder' until you are back where the "system" file is located - top where it read "MNT/SDCARD" will read "/ (R/O)" or "/ (R/W)" and if it only shows "/" then you need to enable ROOT still. If it shows "(R/O)" at this level, that is okay. Scroll to "system" [if you have already been promoted to choose "R/W" you will likely notice that the top reads "/SYSTEM (R/W)"] and click to enter, click "bin" to enter, click "paste." If you have not already been promoted to do so, you will be promoted to change directory to R/W [read/wright, versus R/O read only]. If it asks about replacing the file, choose whichever option replaces the file, you do not want to save with a different file name.

If you are using a different file manager, you may find the process very similar. Good luck! Glorious Overdose is a good ROM [though I have not used v.3, I have used v.2 and really enjoy it].

You may find this thread very helpful.
