Hey! I just saw the dark settings for stock rom. I tried to flash it but it wouldn't work. I think its because I am on the newest update. Is there a quick way for me to change it to make it work with the new update?

Hey matthew, have you ever changed the track for the scrubbers? I haven't look for it, I just though about it now. Could it be a png too? a png stretched like they do on iOS devices. :/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
Yup thats possible... I'll take a look tomorrow. Very well could be xml related as well. But ...not sure.

Dark Jelly CM 10.2 ROM And These Mods

Just letting peeps here know with the Dark Jelly ROM you need to use the stock edify 'N7Stock4.3edifyZip.zip' supplied on the first page. Using the ROM zip itself with ZipThemer does not work with the Candy Shop mods, when you flash them in recovery they fail. I'd add the stock edify as an attachment to this post but not sure the OP would like that so just browse the first page of this thread.

Peace,

KedarWolf :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
That dies look sick!!!! I want that in Orange. Tutorial????
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
Use the scubber zip as base....and target the 2track PNGs and the 2 b4 it for track activated... They are right neat the scrubber pngs...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
Total newb when it comes to this stuff. I found them in the framework.res so I would just copy them to PC.. Edit as desired. Then can I just throw them into the scrubber zip and flash, without scrapping the scrubbers.

Edit: Not just flash the zip of course use zip themer process.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
Yup exactly..the scrubber png u can leave in or take out depending on ur mod... Or even replace scrubbers with new img if u wanted... Go nuts.!!

So is there something i'm doing wrong? Tried the nexus glow dots and iron man arc reactor ring, and both updates fail to flash in recovery, and apparently it's with the updater script.

In zip themer:

>open app

>update edify

>select my rom zip

>press theme, select my zip file to flash

>build it

>builds both files successfully

Yet fail to flash in recovery. I did flash the update edify prior to, so when selected, it's listed as edify-nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
Ok...np

When u update edify hit browse then select ur rom zip it should say success.

Hit back then +theme select the mod zip of choice...then build.

You can also hit +theme again to select another mod zip ..so on and so forth .

Then recovery flash update zip

That should do it...let me know of u get it going

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Lol, I had just figured it out. I'm going to blame the eye i got punched in today. :p

Weird thing is:

I did that ^, above, and it didn't work. Instead of selecting my rom, I selected the stock edify zip again, recompiled, and it flashed just fine this time. Weird.

I have a tutorial on making the mods. The thread is call the spice rack. It needs some work. Eventually I will clean it up, but it's a good place to start. It's actually a tutorial on doing them from your phone (or tablet). I rarely use a pc when making mods, though mine are usually simpler images. In some cases when I need more editing ability I use the pc for that but still make the zips from my phone.

Same here, I rarely use the PhotoShop from my PC... I do everything on my Nexus, that's why it takes me some time to upload zip files. For some reason when using the forum can't open files... and now I can't upload zip files using www.d-h.st... Do you know another page where I could upload zip files using the Nexus?

I have the orange track ready, I only need to upload it... :/
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
I use dev host from my nexus...it works great ..

Jus hit upload and a pop up menu should come up to choose ur file explorer app ( esfile explorer) I'm my case then choose zip to upload...

Drop box or box works good too. Copy is also a pretty good app as well. I primarily use dev but the others are great back ups with easy to use apps available on the play store

So you guys have dev host working? That's the one I was using, but now every time I get the "can't open file" error...

I'll try those other methods you guys mentioned thanks.

Drop box is a good alternative til devhost is worked out but it should work OK on devhost.

Found the culprit, it was Chrome, uploaded just fine with the AOSP browser, thanks a lot guys. :)

The 4 images of the orange track are inside the zip file.

Can't open the zip. Says bad zip file. Trying to use es file explorer.

Took a closer look and the file size say 0 bytes on devhost link

Got it!!!!! I know its a very simple thing but this is pretty exciting to me. Thanks for the help and the inspiration guys.

P.S. Not totally sure that is orange as I am color blind lol. Have to wait til the morning and ask the girlfriend.

Haha ok man, it actually look nice with your theme. :)

As a side note, I don't know if there's anyone that like my style but if there are I could upload some of my zip files, with the permission of matthew of course. They are from my personal theme I'm making.

WiFi, this one in particular turned out pretty interesting, since I put the download/upload arrows very visible it looks really cool when using the internet. For those using a ROM without the network speed indicator this is cool, it doesn't tell you the speed but you can see more clearly the animations. I think I'm gonna spend more time doing WiFi pngs, after I'm done with the battery icons.

Just figured out you can add multiple zips when building a theme with zipthemer. I was building 4 or 5 zips and the flashing one by one. Much easier to build a single zip with multiple themes in it. What a dummy!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matthew0776:
Lol... Man I wish I knew u were doing it like that I def would of put u up on the multi mod zip... And YES so much easier ... But it will also be one undo zip ...fyi. I usually keep softkeys and lockring separate. Jus in case...so two zips at the.most... I usually combo the other stuff with either the ring or the keys..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
I didn't see it in FAQ or in the tut video. I don't know if you might want to add it to the op or FAQ incase another dumbass like me has the same bright idea. Lol

Also if you are so inclined and have some time, I've got an orange and black thing going for me right now (Halloween is just a coincidence) if you could throw together the "droid" glow dots in an orange that would be cool. Thanks man.

I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I have the moto x phone and SS just came out for it from hashcode. If I try to select the backup as my edify zip it just takes me to each individual file within the zip. Am I missing something? Or is Safestrap not compatible?

Sent from non rooted motoX :'(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I have a moto x as well for att. I have tried to set up ss but it failed for me. I'm not too familiar with it but from what I've read you need to make sure your booted into the write protect off mode ie recovery to make any changes. I mod the apks manually and then swap out the apps ie system ui or framework res. My recovery is non existent if not messed up all together so I haven't really had time to mess with it. And you need to be rooted to swap out system apps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] matt99017d:
If your on a SS slot I wonder if that's a write protection off state?

Sent from non rooted motoX :'(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I believe that's how it works. When you install ss the Dev recommends backing up your "stock" system withe write protection off so that you can mod that and have your stock as a backup

Were you able to update edify? If so what'd you use for you zip file?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] mar5hal:
I didn't. I don't have a recovery to flashy the mod zip that zip themer would create anyway. Like I said I manually modded the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and swapped them out with a root explorer. While rooted of course ;)

Really. $100 for an extra 16gb. I love my nexus devices but why oh why is their reasoning behind non-expandable storage. Really turns me off. (Although I already have plans on getting it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Not to stay off topic, but does keep costs down, slightly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
How does paying $100 more keep costs down. I'd pay an extra $50 for a model with expandable storage. Gimme an 8gb model with an SD card and I'll pay $400 no prob.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
I'm not disputing your claim, as I would do the same thing. Though there are those that can't afford it and go to those 'budget' phones, so they 'cut costs' where they can - in this case with the nexus' being the camera and sd card.

Cause a phone with a snapdragon 800 @ 400$ is a pretty good steal in and of itself, but I digress.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NeverSeparate:
I think he meant build costs. It would be more hardware and software and therefore a more costly build. For the record, I'm not saying I wouldn't prefer it to have one. I'm just trying to clarify what I think he meant, feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

From me with Harmony
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
I see what you guys are saying. I have no idea his much more it cost to have that SD card slot in a phone. I can't imagine that it would be that much though.

Sorry for the rant. Done now. Lolz
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NeverSeparate:
Sony did this with the ps3. The early ones were backwards compatible and cost 600 dollars when it released. They removed the hardware needed to be backward compatible and it helped get the price down. The ps4 will be 400 dollars at release and is a beast for a console. But it won't be backwards compatible, otherwise it would have probably had to be 600 again.

With the availability of cloud storage, it's not a huge concern for a lot of people. I'd prefer it, but if the Nexus 5 works on Verizon I'd still probably get it.

From me with Harmony
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Cuzz1369:
Cloud storage isnt ideal for me. I live in Canada and data is relatively expensive. $45 a month plan gets me just 1gb and $10/GB after that. Most you can get from any carrier right now is 6gb for $120 month. No such thing as unlimited data here. T-Mobile is coming here soon. Hopefully they change the game a bit.

They should be able to be made compatible if your rom has a lock ring. Its just an image that gets replaced. Can you clarify why it doesn't work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] worlddominatiin:
Not sure why exactly. Followed the instructions written for zip themer: updated edify with my ROM's zip, configured, built the zip for the icon, flashed cwm touch 6.0.4.0 , rebooted back to system and icon was still the same.

Are these icons meant for aosp type Roms or a specific android version or are they truly universal? My ROM is based on stock motoblur and is android 4.1.2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NeverSeparate:
They are made to work on aosp roms. I was assuming it would be if you had a Nexus device. Not sure about motoblur compatibility. Do other zipthemer mods work on it or have you tried?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] worlddominatiin:
I haven't tried yet. I like my phones to have a stock look so I'm pretty satisfied with it. Just wanted to try out the lock ring icon change because I never knew you could do it without having to download a 3rd party app.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NeverSeparate:
Are you using any themes? If so, it may override the mod.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] worlddominatiin:
MotoBlur doesn't have themes. Lol.

Only thing I'm using is Nova Launcher and Xposed module for a digital battery mod. nothing else.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] NeverSeparate:
OK. Well, if you wanna use the lock ring you may have to find a plain aosp rom.
