Avatar Theme Creator Tool

Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Theme creator tool. It is a QT based desktop application to edit themes.

Themes created using this tool are compatible with Avatar ROM and Cyanogen ROM. Similarly you can edit both Avatar Themes and Cyanogen themes.

Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.

What you can do with this tool ?

1. There are 1000's of resources that can be themed in Android. We change only a small set of them and if you want to theme more resources you can use this tool.

2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.

3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.

4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.

Upcoming features:

1. Ability to create a new theme from scratch.

2. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.

3. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.

4. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.

04/19/2013 - AvatarROM 2.7b Release

Merged with CM 10.1 M3 build( 14th April )

Changed Error Reporter to send requests to server instead of a google document

New Theme Chooser fixes

Weebo fixes

Support for layout theming

Existing AvatarROM users can update via OTA. Go to Settings-> About Phone-> Avatar updates and hit the refresh button.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] bippi79:
Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Layout Themeing.

We all have seen how themes change images, icons, drawables, colors etc. But this is the first time you will see how a theme can change the position of UI elements (buttons, labels, etc). Never before an attempt like this was made in the history of Android.

Eg: "Close all apps" button in the recent apps list is on the top-right corner. If you are a left handed user, reaching the top-right corner on a 5 inch phone is not easy. With layout theming, you can move the position from top-right to left-bottom.

Demo:

Lets take up a simple example. We have seen different version of dialer in different operating system. By applying a theme, we can now have the exact same dialer in Android. Not only the buttons look the same, it is also positioned at the exact location.

System UI (System app) - Link

Iphone style (Theme) - Link

Circular dialer (Theme) - Link

Blackberry dialer (Theme) - Link

Recent apps (Theme)- Link

Install Instructions:

1. Push the systemUI.apk to /system/app (Eg: "adb push systemUI.apk /system/app")

2. Install the themes as any normal android application (Eg: "adb install -r iphone.apk")

3. Go to theme chooser and apply your preferred theme

4. Open the dialer and check out how look and feel changes which each theme.

Some Surprises

1. Check out the clock position on the status bar. Yes it is centered. We can move anything to anywhere.

2. In the recent apps theme, we have moved "Close all apps " in the recent apps list from top-right to bottom-left

Layout themeing will be part of AvatarROM soon and we are working on some cool concepts. We would love to hear what you want to see in layout theming. Post your ideas in our feature request page.

For me normally using AOKP roms for the last times, what will be different in this ROM ? Less settings I assume. Since its based on CM its probably less fancy for altering System settings. Correct ?

Does avatar work with using other Kernels? I just noticed Avatar kernel doesn't have smartass v2 governor. I was just curious if it can be implemented? after the last few updates, the battery on my SII has not been able to last a day.

On another note: I requested for this theme: http://avatarrom.uservoice.com/foru...-i-request-for-a-pink-galaxy-sii-for-this-rom

before. And on the request page of avatar it said it was done, but I haven't seen it on the theme chooser. Any chance it was not implemented. And any chance it can be inserted in an update? Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] bippi79:
It works with any kernel that is compatible with CM10.1.

We missed the pink theme during the migration from old theme chooser to new theme chooser. We will upload it soon. Thanks.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] DKCN:
Thanks :) And for any cute female themes too please :D Really appreciate all the hardwork.

The theme chooser by the way, allows us to edit .apk files. But what about MIUI files, if I'm not wrong, they end in .mtz or something. Anyway to edit those so we can help in porting those themes too?

Deep sleep problem,.

Not sure if my phone problem or it's the rom.

My SGS2 I9100G entered deep sleep and never wake up..

I always need to unplug the battery to reboot it....

anyone faces this problem too??

Deep Sleep Issues

I've been having Deep Sleep Problems too. But it has been a weird one. This happened two updates ago, then disappeared on the next. But on the current one, it appeared again. My problem is the phone doesn't enter deep sleep mode. and the battery drains very quickly, as well as getting the phone to heat up. I can't think of a possible solution as I never experienced this in other ROMs. The only other thing I changed is update the phone. And for the last update, all I did was insert a SIM card. Any possibility of a SIM card affecting the deep sleep?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] 301stSpartan:
Did you check better battery stats to see what process might be keeping the phone awake?
