keep theme when upgrading from cyanogen 3.9.7 to 4.0.4

i want to keep the them that i have on my cyanogen 3.9.7 ROM but 4.0.4 is now out and when i upgrade it with cm update it only keeps the wallpaper.

is there a way to keep the whole theme when going to 4.0.4?
[Android Themes] david1171:
Port it. Other than that you will get a boot loop when you flash the theme.

Unless the themer has a version for 4.0.4

Need Help on framework-res.apk?

I made changes to the framework-re.apk folder & launcher.apk. Whenever I flashed the update, it showed changes made to the Launcher but not to the framework-res..

What am I doing (or not doing) right??
[Android Themes] david1171:
make sure when you saved the files in framework-res.apk that they saved over the original images. also make sure that the archive was updated once you put them into it.
[Android Themes] radiano:
I have checked that. It shows that they were saved over the original images and the framework-res.apk in the archive shows the changes (the new png-files I added) that I made...
[Android Themes] david1171:
probably a stupid question, but did you make sure you put the right file on your phone to flash? I have made that mistake quit a few times. What's even worse is when you upload the wrong file:(
[Android Themes] radiano:
Yah I did make sure I had the right one on there.. I even did a wipe and update but still no success..
[Android Themes] david1171:
after you wiped you made sure to flash the rom first right
[Android Themes] radiano:
Did that too.. still no effect.. but if I flash the original theme, it updates just fine...

I believe I saw somewhere on this forum someone with the same issue but couldn't find it anymore.. Thanks David..
[Android Themes] david1171:
have you tried re-downloading whatever it is you are putting the files into and trying that

one thing i just thought of, which spl do you have?

After I installed the theme, i can't find the clock - where is it? Thanks!
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
Ummm you gave us no information whatsoever .. what rom, what theme, anything?

Buttt... most likely long hold on the home screen and select widgets and then select alarmclock

[Android Themes] jasonpeinko:
I am trying to create a theme but i get a Can't find update script on my signed zip.
[Android Themes] david1171:
i find the easiest thing to do is to take a rom or theme template and empty everything your theme is not going to change out of it, then add your files, that way you do not have to make an update-script.
[Android Themes] jasonpeinko:
Thanks ill give it a try tomorrow. But wouldn't that be the same thing as the template the rom creator provides?
[Android Themes] david1171:
yeah thats why i said that as well, but you can remove the files you do not want to be flashed or that will not be changed so that the size of the file is smaller.
[Android Themes] jasonpeinko:
got it working thanks.
[Android Themes] david1171:
what error is it giving you?
[Android Themes] jonnybueno:
can anyone tell me where the background image for global search/search from launcher.apk is located and what it is called?
[Android Themes] david1171:
if they are still what they were when i made an attempt to skin them a long time ago, they are in launcher.apk/res/drawable/

search_button_bg.9.png

search_floater.9.png

Thanks! I actually just found it and was about to edit my post. BTW, your b&w theme is sick!
[Android Themes] david1171:
thanks man:), i am trying to decide if i want to do 4.1.11.1 but i know the minute i get everything working he will drop the stable. btw, glad to see your theme is back somewhere as well;)
[Android Themes] jasonpeinko:
Well im not being able to change any images, the update.zip does not work. Idk if its a legal move to push the framework-res.apk, but does not change any images. I have tried signing on mac and windows 7, i might try win xp and see if that helps.

Anyone have any good themes that work with

cyan 4.1.999*

rav 2.1 radio/spl

on g1!?

I know gchrome..but its not really my taste..nice..but i want sumthing a lil more darker..

And is there any cool way to get nice music players..kinda like the iphone.. I seen some roms have em..but i dont wanna switch my roms..so if not possible with themes then im not worried about it..

But i do want a nice theme for my g1!?

Used to have dark theme..but they dont have an update for 4.1.999 =(
[Android Themes] david1171:
check my sig. at the moment, htc music is not really available for the experimental roms, it will have to be updated to the 1.6 firmware most likely before it can be used again.
[Android Themes] Lewcid:
lighting

a coworker here at work was telling me i should lite my phone prior to installing a theme what does this mean and what does it entail.
[Android Themes] david1171:
i make themes and i have no clue what your co-worker is talking about :(
[Android Themes] Lewcid:
he said something about if you dont lite it first then the images bleed and cause memory leaks.
[Android Themes] david1171:
i have not heard of having to do anything special (aside from instructions in the OP) before installing a theme before. maybe he has another phone that has to be done a different way? make a nandroid before you flash the theme, and if you notice anything odd with your phone, then you will have the nandroid to fall back on.
[Android Themes] Lewcid:
word thanx much!

Hi cann anyobody say me which .xml

change the colour of this font/text

mfg
[Android Themes] david1171:
clock, date, ongoing, latest (the text that says notifications), the t-mobile text, and none (not shown in your ss) are all in services.jar, which can be edited with colorChange.jar (get the v3 one towards end of the thread) along with the text in the notification bar (called ticker in colorChange.jar)

the text in the drop downs is located in framework-res.apk/res/layout/

status_bar_expanded.xml

status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

and if you do not want to change anything in services.jar the notification text is located in the same location and is

status_bar.xml

Hero Themeing question

i know that alot of framework is changed through files

/system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

and

/system/framework/framework-res.apk

If i just want to use kings rom, but mligns theme can i simply just cut and paste these files before i flash? and will it be compatible? or how would i go about it?

Also how would i go about it if i wanted to alter some colors and designs myself and get it to become compatible?

flame if u want, but atleast pitch me a link or something.

I want to try out themes but this is my first time so I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently on AOSP1.6_r1.2+ADP DRC92 ROM, and on that page they have themes and theme templates and I want to use The Official HERO Theme (v2) but I'm not sure what are the requirements. Are theme templates just for making your own theme or do I have to install that also?

How to change font colour?

I am looking for a way to change font colour in android default drawer and music widget.

How is the colours changed, is there a easy way to do it?
[Android Themes] nonchalant_joe:
i know you can change the font color around the notification bar with classes.dex in services.jar and a few .xml files in framework-res.apk/res/layout/

i do not know how to change system font in general, or i think a lot more people would have even more amazing themes out.

your best bet though would be to pm Oshaka and ask him, since he made colorChange.jar which is the easiest way to edit what font colors we can now.
[Android Themes] Hamdan919:
Hey guys,

I was looking around the forum, but I couldn't find how to change the color of the notification text and the time in the notification bar. I know it has to do with XML files, but I don't know to to open the XML files.

Any help will be appreciated. :)

SORRY ,, MY QUESTION JUST HAS BEEN ANSWERED ,,,, THNX nonchalant_joe
[Android Themes] mat_pav:
What about clock and data color. Where is possible to change it?
[Android Themes] david1171:
all of that can be changed with colorChange.jar.
[Android Themes] mat_pav:
Can you tall me how to change the colors with the colorChange.jar, because its not working for me. What version of color do you have?
[Android Themes] nonchalant_joe:
Get the colorChangev3.jar towards the end of the thread ,that one works for any AOSP rom i have used it on.
[Android Themes] nebrada:
theme templates are just for making your own theme.

as long as you have the correct rom for the theme, all you have to is flash the .zip file just like you did the rom

problem

I'm not sure it is a theme issue or if it is an issue wiyh Advanced Launcher, but I have installed two different themes (enochx and plastic) on top of a fresh cm 4.1.9999 rom. I wiped before restoring my cm nandroid then flashed the themes.

Basically what happens is that advanced launcher is not replacing the default home, but being installed beside it. So whenever I press the home button, it asks me to choose b/w the two. I might try wiping everything, but i don't think that is the issue.

Update: So i wiped, cleared dalvik, flashed htc, flashed cm 4.1.9999, then plastic theme. Same results. I seemed to have some other issues, like my contacts disappearing even after they synced back. Also haptic feedback stopped even though setting was on.

After all that I restored my nandroid backup, so all is okay. But the main thing i wanted was the stericson lock screen.

Final Update: Okay, just left Plastic's thread. Apparently his theme, did this on purpose, but xxmonsterx posted one without the extra launcher
[Android Themes] david1171:
the adv launcher is usually used as a standalone home replacement, so you can still have the default launcher.
[Android Themes] beanboi:
since this thread is called "General Questions about Themes GO HERE!!!!!" and I didn't want to start another thread and get flamed on it, here's my question. How do I restore my original theme? Like how it looked when I first flashed the ROM. Sorry but I looked for like half an hr and I couldn't find anything on how to do this.
[Android Themes] david1171:
Flash your rom again.
[Android Themes] Sane1:

[Android Themes] david1171:
1. are you pushing them while in the recovery console?

2. you can just do adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk instead of removing it.

3. you may have to sign the files, I can' remember with when you are pushing the files, but if nothing else works, try that.
[General Questions and Answers] Cannon_Foddr:
Firstly, I know this is NOT for facebook problems but their site does not have anything mentioned like the problem I'm having, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem & whether they know of a 'fix' that actually works (Yes I have tried all the so called 'Newfeed' fixes Google searches have to offer)

Here's the problem.

There are 2 Facebook Accounts, lets call them 'A' and 'B'

With account 'A'

no matter if you log in on Facebook App, Facebook Lite app OR the actual webpage - News feed does not show any recent posts on the home page, it only shows 'Add friends to see more' even though we have ~10 people already added as 'Friends' & also made as 'Favorites'...

However IF you go to settings (3 bars top right) > Feeds > Favourites, then the recent posts show up ('All' shows nothing BTW)

Spoiler content hidden.

As mentioned before, this happens regardless of which Facebook method.

I have already tried

* Sign out/in - logging in seems to be working just fine since Profile pic shows up, added 'friends' are there etc

* Force stop App/ Clear Cache/Clear Data (meaning re-logging in/set up account(s) )

* Uninstalled App(s) (full & Lite) from phone & reinstalled

* Have done this on 2 different Mobile phones (Moto G84 & G23)

* Rebooted Mobile each time I tried something

* On Website also logged off/on, cleared cookies

I know it's not a dodgy internet access since with Account 'B' though everything works fine.

Spoiler content hidden.

With Account 'B', it works with both apps on both mobiles & the Webpage works, even swapping account to a 3rd Facebook account (I have 2 facebook accounts - one 'public' & one 'private') & that one works fine as well

The ONLY difference I know of between account 'A' & account 'B' is the email address/logon details - both are Gmail addresses though Account 'A' is my Mothers while Account 'B' is mine, which makes me think there's a problem with Facebook not being able to sync newsfeed on the home page because it's not recognising my Mothers account for some reason (Account 'A') even though current newsfeeds show up under Menu > Feeds > Favourites (which proves there is some form of syncing happening, so why not show on home page ?)

So, has anyone else had this problem, did they find a 'fix' that worked, or is it the usual case of a 'Facebook F***-up' & we just have to put up with it until they decide to get round & sort it out (BTW her account been like this for ~3days now)

Any advice appreciated & thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Cannon_Foddr:
Thanks for the reply.

As to your first line 'Do you have trouble logging in' the answer is no

As I said in op & to clarify, I have logged off Facebook & back on without problem with both accounts, even when I uninstalled/reinstalled/cleared data & cache both the Facebook & Facebook lite apps or even via web browser, so the problem isn't logging in.

The problem is one account doesn't seem to show any newsfeeds on the home screen (in fact it doesn't show anything other than 'what on your mind',create story/find friends,no more posts to fetch) while the other account works fine - it has all that mentioned plus 'reels', 'people you may know' & also posts from friends/family

The weird thing is that on the account that doesn't show posts etc on the home page, is that IF you press settings (the 3 bars in top right corner > [Feeds] > [Favourites] then everyone that been marked as 'favorite' (mainly family) their recent posts show up without problem, so the posts are available but not showing on the home screen

I will keep your suggestion in mind and possibly use it in near future as since I posted I managed to find a Facebook page/link that allowed me to send a fault report to them & I'm currently waiting for a reply (not on pc so I can't post the link).

EDIT: Now on PC the link I used is

Report an Issue with Home Page or News Feed | Facebook

www.facebook.com

If I don't hear anything (or they just give a standard reply of stuff I've already tried/mentioned in report to them) then I'll give Angelina a try

Once again thanks for the reply, it gives me another possible route to go down

and i have to repatch the boot image each time via computer

not sure if there is a fix to this, it happens every few months where phone is rooted but i lose the magisk setting
[Google Pixel 7a] V0latyle:
Are you updating via OTA? Every time you update, the boot image has to be re-patched.

Further, the recovery kernel is compressed inside the boot image, so these devices do not have a recovery partition. This means that it is not possible to permanently install a custom recovery.
[Huawei Mate X2] tboy2000:
We all know that you can install GMS and have a working Play Store but push notifications don't work. Alternatively you can enable push notifications by disabling GSF with adb but then the Play Store does not work and you have to use Aurora store.

Finally you can have both at the same time. I just followed this new guide on YouTube on my Mate X3 with HarmonyOS 4.2 and everything works great! No more Aurora store or GBox for finicky apps (McDonald's).

No need to hard reset. Just uninstall previous GMS installations and follow the guide. Easy and quick. No ADB needed.
[General Questions and Answers] ratcliffe_mike:
I am using Family Link and if I delete my child's account from the phone and add my parent account then the device appears in https://play.google.com/library/devices as it should.

The problem is that to add my child's account I have to remove my parent account and the device immediately disappears from my device list.

Google say that's right, so you should need to pay for apps for each child account seperately.

With my other kids I installed new firmware inbetween, so their devices are preserved in my devices list, which means I can install software I have purchased under my parent account to their phones.

I don't really want to do a factory reset or change the firmware, does anybody know another way of preserving the device my child is using in my device list?

Don't know what that's supposed to mean, but thanks for sharing your work with us.

It's dsp with system as ext4 or something, like crdroid cause you can install gapps. Tried flashing with the recommend recovery, with a twrp dsp version and with other ofox dsp too, but found some bugs that made me go back to my previous rom. It's the first release anyway.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] penglezos:
I don't like smart asses. You know what I've meant.

Care to elaborate what kind of bugs did you faced?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mauam:
I really don't know why you're calling me smartass. If possible pm the why or tell it here. Regarding the bugs, as I said previously, I tried flashing the rom with the recommended recovery, twrp dsp and ofox dsp. I was successful with all 3, booted and all was good, but when rebooting or turning on the device, the sim card wasn't detected, tried to fix it in vain. Other times the rom simply went in recovery & triggered the rescue party warning. It happened with the 3 recoveries. I flashed nikgapps core, but not sure if it can cause those issues.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] mradermaxlol:
Same as @mauam, although here's my 2 cents:

Upgrade from LOS 20 => LOS 21 results in boot failure with a prompt from recovery (data decryption failure, etc); but I think that is to be expected now since something partitions/FBE-related has probably changed in an incompatible way;

Fresh install (no mods whatsoever, plain LOS.zip) + reboot = broken modem; it's not only the SIM card that becomes unavailable, it's also 5GHz WiFi that stops working completely;

The system really doesn't like ADB connections, though I think it might be not ADB specifically, but phone-USB-computer connections in general; upon rebooting after doing the USB stuff (e.g. ADB-push'ing the data back to internal storage) I seem to consistently enter bootloop mode that, strangely enough, I'm able to exit and return back to normal by entering fastboot/recovery and completely powering off-powering on. After that it's the modem thing, though.

I decided to give crDroid a shot in the meantime (need to have a usable phone), none of the aforementioned issues are present there. I understand that at the very least the kernel sources must be quite different (though I haven't bothered to actually diff 'em, so just a guess), but maybe these observations would be somewhat helpful.

TL;DR: Can't really call it usable right now, but hey, it's the first public build. Thanks a lot for all the tinkering!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro ROMs, Kernels, Re] penglezos:
Hey thanks for the input!

I assume you followed the steps correctly. Did you by any chance grabbed logs while this happened so I can have a look? And what is your carrier service provider name? That is strange. Both telephony and Wifi (2.4 and 5 GHZ frequencies) are working fine for me.
