So, you've downloaded and been blown away by the most advanced ROM on the Incredible S - ViperVIVO by Team Venom!

Well, the fun doesn't end there! Thanks to Team Venom's powerful theme engine, you can change multiple elements of the theme on the fly - a never-before seen feature on any ROM.

Of course as with anything new, there is much confusion how this works. The aim of this thread is to clarify how to change various aspects of the theme, and unleash the full power of the Viper!

There are 2 aspects to themeing on ViperVIVO:

1. The built in theme engine (covering statusbar icons and Sense icons)

2. The custom skin

To some degree, the effects of these are independent. So you can change aspects of the built in theme without changing the skin, or change the skin but keep theme elements. Or even keep everything, and just change the Sense icons. The possibilities are endless.

The secret to ViperVIVO's stunning good looks is a combination of the two, and we'll take a closer look at this over the next three posts:

Post 1: This One

Post 2: Built in Theme Engine; How to fine - tune the appearance

Post 3: RedVenom Custom Skin

Post 4: Venom Kitchen Tutorial; Make your own Rosie icon packs and Statusbar icon packs

Please post any questions / issues relating to themes and icon packs etc. here rather than on the main ROM thread, let's keep that clean for ROM issues.

Thank You!

​

So you've read about the revolutionary theme engine in the ROM thread. But what exactly can you do with it? Basically, it allows you to alter some of the graphical elements on the fly, without needing to flash or even reboot.

Using Venom Tweaks, you can change the appearance of:

Statusbar icons

EQS icons

Battery icons

Sense icons

Notification shade background

App drawer background

These elements are all independent and can be changed to suit your tastes. So, you can use icons from different icon sets to mix and match your own personal theme.

But that's not all. Take a closer look at the screens where you choose statusbar themes and iconsets. You'll notice that each supported statusbar icon can be changed independently. So you like wifi icon from theme A, but battery from theme B? No problem, download both and mix it up as much as you want. You're only limited by what's available in the Hub.

And if there's some icons you want that aren't in the Hub? That's what the Venom kitchen is for. Scroll on down to post 4 for further info.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
​

So, you've seen that option in Aroma to install the Venom theme. Either you ticked it, and are basking in the warm RedVenom glow.

Or you didn't ... but now you're wondering how different things would look if you had taken the other pill. Well, your answer lies in this post. The screenshots above (coming soon) will give you an idea what the theme looks like, in case you didn't install.

Basically, the choice of theme controls all aspects of appearance, apart from those listed in the previous post.

For example:

Red highlights on notification shade

Red lines on dialog boxes

Red elements on checklists/tickboxes etc

Red outlines on Dialer button presses

Red keyboard

For the time being, these graphical elements aren't controlled by Venom's theme engine. Some of them can be changed by switching skins, but you'll find that this doesn't completely remove all the red. This is due to a limitation in the tools we have to edit HTC frameworks.
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
​

As if the ROM wasn't customisable enough, the ROM devs have also developed the Venom theme kitchen.

Really want some statusbar icons that aren't in the Hub. Or got a great idea for a set of Sense icons? Why not make it yourself and share it with others via the Venom Hub?!

We've put some themes in the Hub to get you started, but the aim is to fill it with user generated content. We've tried to make the tutorial as easy as possible, but if you have any questions, here's the place to ask.

Post your completed themes here, with a screenshot. If the theme looks nice we will add it with credits to the venom hub, so all users can download it from there!

One thing we ask though - ideally you'd be using icons you've created yourself. If you are going to use someone's else icons, please ask them for their permission first. We all spend a lot of our free time making these, and it's really annoying to see your work ripped off by someone else! I'm sure you'd all agree. If you used icons from the UOT kitchen, then say so.

[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Hey guys, Fallen here for another theme for this excellent rom. You won't notice the difference between the default Red Venom theme and this one, but if you look closely, there is no grey circle that surrounds it. In my opinion this looks way better. It did take me a long time to do this. Previews:

Viper Bootanimation & Splash Screen

Hi all,

Just sharing my Viper Bootanimation from the main ROM thread, now in the right location. I've also done a Splash Screen for you too.

Bootanimation

Looks a bit like this:

View attachment 1448372

Instructions:

Download the attached bootanimation.zip, save it to your SD Card somewhere you can find it again (leave it as it is, don't unzip or anything).

Using your favourite root explorer (with root write rights on), Copy/Paste it to the following folder (and then adjust permissions to rw-r--r-- for good housekeeping):

system/customize/resource

Don't forget to back up the old bootanimation first (change the filename a bit) if you don't want to lose it.

Alternatively, this was mentioned in the DHD thread:

(I'm not using the ROM, so I assume this is correct for Incredible S too.)

Splash Screen

Looks like this:

View attachment 1448373

Instructions:

I believe this is for S-OFF only.

And you must unzip this one first, get the 'splash1.img' file from the attached .zip and place it in your adb/fastboot tools folder on your PC.

Then go to CMD prompt on your PC and set your CD to the tools folder.

Set your phone in USB bootloader mode, then type in "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img".

Job done - reboot to see it appear before the bootanimation.

I hope you like them.

:cool:

If you want to revert to stock white HTC Splash Screen, unzip and flash the 'ORIGINAL HTC SPLASH' .zip as attached. it looks like this:

"This will replace your framework-res.apk and is only compatible with ViperIncS, ViperDHD, ViperSaga

It will replace the "blue" colour with Holo glow only.

SO, to use it you will have to change the glow colour to blue. All other glows are untouched.

Flash in recovery

Reboot

Change glow colour to blue in tweaks--> misc
