suddenly i am not able to theme my halo..

i was able to do that perfectly before.. any help pls?

this happened after the new nightly builds.. tried on carbon as well as new rootbox..

the halo icon is themed but i am not getting the notification window..

i switched off halo and then installed with cache and dalvik wipe..

:(

the stock halo however works fine.. so not a rom issue.. and also i am on system theme

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jreyno10:
If your rom has halo you should be able to use it. I'm running carbon nightlies and it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldus320:
What is your recommended theme? Cant choose they are all awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jreyno10:
I'm using the original blue one right now. I think the black background with the blue ring looks good. Or the other colors. But yeah ATTACK has done an awesome job with these themes. Makes halo look so much better.

Hi [MENTION=4427492]ATTACK[/MENTION] your work is amazing! I have a request for Themes. I really really like the themes like Krebs that aren't only a circle.

Superhero Items

Could you make Captain America's Shield?

I thought of doing a Captain America wallpaper and thought it would be cool if the HALO was his shield.

So I guess with that idea (seeing as you make most things in a set) maybe other iconic hero "accessories" could be included.

- Captain America's Shield

- Bat Signal

- Iron Man's Arc reactor

- Thor's Hammer (not well rounded but...)

Anything else you think works I guess

Yay/Nay:confused:

My own
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infamous916:
OK so I figured it out with a little push in the right direction now I just need to resize cause its slightly larger...I think I saw on here someone said the original for infuse was 72x72 or 76x76 can anyone confirm this so I don't have to go digging through posts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unjustified Dev:
Which image? I can resize it Ive been busy adding these to Domination so far we have 22 choices for halo. I think it was 72x72
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infamous916:
I'm on carbon currently due to some issues with the status bar toggling itself on domination and the pie feature but I'm using the white one....I know how to resize I just need to know the correct size
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unjustified Dev:
Im not going to ask about the bug here but i use a program to resize the images it is 150x150xhdpi, weird enough hdpi was resized to 113x113 and mdpi 75x75 I think the program scales down a certain percentage based on the original one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infamous916:
So since I'm hdpi I should try 113x113

Edit*

I guess I was wrong about knowing how to do it lol

Here's the version I am currently on

[ZipThemer] Halo_White_Circle + Ring

The size is not that bad its more of the inner circle (hide, clear noti, etc) that's sized wrong for my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unjustified Dev:
Lol it all depends on the original image I'll have to resize it later the program doesnt know how to make the image a certain height and width it just knows if your source is xhdpi how much to scale it down

Are you on the latest version? What device are you using. Right now HALO can be cleared completely without the use of Cancel. The swipe up to remove notification gesture can clear all gestures as long as it is not a persistent notification.

Hey guys where can I get this icon pictures to set them in halo))) app?

That must be kinda pictures right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoffdamann:
Im on the latest nightly for carbon, i can do that but im using the halo))) app to have some apps for multi tasking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anu6is:
If you are using the Halo))) app, those pinned apps are seen as persistent notifications and so you won't be able to clear HALO. In that case you would have to use HALO Cancel to achieve an empty bubble

That's what I thought. Thanks man

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infamous916:
Sounds like you didn't update to your specific ROM version, you can try to wipe cache and dalvik, you can try making a nandroid backup and then wipe everything then restore and try to reflash again, and if that doesn't work try a different theme to see if its the same result
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cesst:
I'll try with different theme wiping everything takes too much time ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infamous916:
I have been asked several times how to resize so i figured i would post it here and help out others.

These are the steps that I personally took to get halo themes working and correctly sized, its fairly easy and if we all just resize our own images it frees up the dev to create more icons instead of resizing for us

OK so first things first u need esfile explorer and images easy resize....both are in play store.

Once you have that download the zip you want....it will prob be under sdcard0/Download in Esfile....next you are gonna wanna navigate to the file you downloaded....long press until its checked then click menu and find extract...then just press ok...no need to change any thing...it just creates a folder with everything. After that go back to downloads and find that folder and open it up. you will see a text file and a folder SystemUI, click on the folder, then u will see a folder called res, click on that and then you will see halo_bg.png that's the image u will resize. So now that you know that location, open up the image editor go to the image and for the infuse resize to 113x113 then press save, it will save to a folder on SD card internal called imagesblahblahblah (blahblahblah being the rest of the name that I can't remember), go back to es file, find the imageblah folder, open it and there's a folder called resized images find your PNG rename it to halo_bg.png then save...once its saved copy it... Now go back to where you extracted that earlier folder of the download, navigate to systemUI/res/halo_bg.png and then delete the original PNG file, then paste the one that was in resized folder, once you do that and back out to parent folder of the zip (ex sdcard0/download) once your there you are gonna wanna rezip it, to do that you long press to check it, hit menu, then find the option for "compress" click it, overwrite the old copy, then go to zip themer and build the zip into a flashable zip, turn off halo (normally tap till the circle on top can be seen then drag halo to it (highly recomend), reboot into recovery, flash the unzip of whatever your using now (mandatory as it can give duel colors, don't know why but mine did) clear cache and dalvik then flash the update of whatever you made a zip of, ex of mine halo_tentacle.update....once that's done reboot and you should be done. Let me know if that works if not PM me and let me know what steps you took and I will help you fix, it seems like a lot typed out but once you do it its really easy

How you Compile the bubbles on PC? I want to work on this with Photoshop
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATTACK:
After you finish editing the .9 images, place them back and recompile the SystemUI.apk. Then you could either flash the SystemUI.apk or remove the the images and use ZipThemer.
