I googled for a couple of hours and couldn't find an answer. I was wanting to know that if I set up a theme and then made all my changes(icons from elsewhere, settings, etc.) then can you make a backup of that to restore it later. What I'm wanting to do is to use some themes, customize them to my liking and save all of them to be able to restore whenever I feel like going back to those home screens. It just takes way too long each time to get everything in place how I like it. I could easily make up 15 different back ups and just restore which home scree/theme that I wanted for that week.

I couldn't get any information on whether Mybackup root would do the job and a Nandroid backup would just be going overboard. If you have any suggestions then I'd appreciate it.

something missing

hi guys, am having a a little problem with my android 2.3.1 gingerbread on my htc hd2. It's the MDJ gingerbread v 1.0 RC5 RAM edition. The problem is I can't see the `wallpaper' under `select wallpaper from' when I press the menu button(windows button). I can only see `Gallery' and `Live wallpapers'. And I don't want to loose the original wallpaper(nice black tribal wallaper)

help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

[Android Themes] toughbax:
Which file do I need to edit to change the color of the font of button text and pop up menu text in android 2.2

I have made a theme that has dark background images, and I can't get all the text white. I have searched on here and google and have found lots of guides on the status bar and the bottom pop up menu, and they were very helpful, but none of them covered this.

When you hold down the power button for example, the window pops up. I want to change that text from black to white. Which xml file would that be in? I assumed styles.xml but I couldn't figure out which part needs to be changed.

Also the text color of buttons. For example when first signing into gmail, the back and next buttons are unreadable and I need to change the text color to white.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hello, just downloaded the Suave HD Icons and I would like to know how to use them in Launcher Pro? I know how to set them as my dock icons, but how do I change the icon on apps on my homescreen?
[Android Themes] hungtd:
Dear All,

I would like to change the icons for my Typhoon ROM (cm7 based). What I do is using a theme (TouchWizz / Theme Chooser type) as a base, extract it by apk manager and replace icon in the drawable folder by my icons.

With the "ordinary" icons, which have standard file name (ex : ic_launcher_xyz), I have no problems. Usually, they are system apps. However, there are some exceptions : Calculator (icon_cal.png), Calendar (icon_calendar.png) or Gallery (icon_gallery.png).

With market apps, I got troubles. I've tried to extract app and find that there are no rules for icons filename (ex : Aldiko (icon.png), Applanet (app_launcher.png)). I also don't have time to look inside of every apps. It's frustrating. So, I don't know If we

have :

1. List of apps icon file names

2. Or any methods to replace apps icons

Thanks
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
There is no big almanach or wizard app, that guesses icon names for 230.000 market apps. Since there is no strict name convention, you need to open each apk and note the name. Since market apps also get frequent updates, the best way is to build a metamorph, since you then can batch update all icons frequently and fast and don't need to pack, sign and push again and again.
[Android Themes] hungtd:
I found a warning from Metamorph thread : "As of right now MetaMorph cannot be used on market apps" , is it an outdated warning ?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
Haven't used metamorph since weeks, in the past I never had issues. Usually MM can be risky with framework mods, but that might be a legal action.
[Android Themes] :
How do I change the color of the lockscreen's (particularly the lense lockscreen style in cyanogenmod roms) data, am/pm, time, and carrier text? I want it to be white.

Also I have an even bigger question once that gets answered :D

How do I re-align the clock and data and etc so that It will fit my lockscreen mod? The mod is a new image that I replaced the lense lockscreen image with but the clock and date and time are barely off alignment.

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME AND I'D VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT :D

I'm using cyanogenmod 7 btw
[Android Themes] hungtd:
Yes, I've tried and it has problems with market apps because It breaks digital sign of the app. Morphed app will be disappear on your phone screen. If you want to use it, you have to resign it.

he_stheone64, have you ever used metamorph to update file in multi apks (not multifiles in one apk) ? Can metamorph handle it by just 1 xml ?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
Yes - I did that pretty often. Here an example of an old Morph I did for Milestone CM6. Use this as a base, it is really easy to edit as you can see.

[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
You can edit text color in layout folder of framework-res in keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml. Look for all instances of textAppearance - you can edit color by adding the following code after textAppearance:

android:textColor="@color/white"

or

android:textColor="#ffffffff"

or any given RGB value. So either reference to a framework color value or directly in RGB (first 2 are for the alpha channel), result will be the same.

The string would look like this:

android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceMedium" android:textColor="#ffffffff"

You can move the position by editing the layout margins and padding. You might need a few flashes, before you get you favorite position, but that is part of the learning process...:D

Dude you're awesome :)thanks a TON

[Android Themes] ASKnASK:
Totally new to Android (Galaxy S coming next week :p)

Two question. One on-topic and one off.

1- I saw some built-in themes in a CM7 video. Do we have something similar in Darky's ROMs? Or is something similar AVAILABLE for darky's ROMs?

2- Off-topic, the ability to use a touch-screen backlight as notification light - Does it come built into the Darky ROM?

Sorry I'm not allowed to post in the dev. section yet (> 10 posts)
[Android Themes] :
I did this to those two files and it didn't work?

Do I need to add the line

android:textColor="@color/white"

to all keygaurd_*

files that have the line android:id for date, time, am, pm and carrier?

also you said margins and padding what exactly is that?

thanks :D

[Android Themes] kontrastinf:
Thanks! Has already found!
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
You need to add this after all textApearance instances, where you want white. Margins just defines the layout position from left, right, top and bottom. Padding is something like a buffer between 2 items.

ElegantSteel Theme

Hi!

So i'm new in the forum and i'm not really sure where i should post this, i tried in the Froyomod Topic but it didn't let me.

So, i installed the ElegantSteel Theme for The FroyoMod and it went ok, but the battery icon is not the same as the picture shows... It's the old froyo icon, the green one. I thought the battery icon would be just like the other icons, in steel?!

Did i do something wrong or is it supposed to be the old battery icon?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] :
okay so all files in the layout folder whose name started with keyguard, all lines that had

android:id="@id/date"
android:id="@id/am_pm"
android:id="@id/timeDisplay"
android:id="@id/time"

I added

android:textColor="@color/white"

after

<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearancexxx"

but it still didn't work. Why? Also another question that. How do you change the streak of the lockscreen pattern. In CM7 its a clear-ish white streak but I want it to be the color of HTC Sense lock screen pattern streak, its a green. I know that it has to do with some .9.png files in the drawable folders, I just know know which ones.

Ok, dumb question but, you ARE installing themes that say they are compatible with JF 1.41 RC30, right?

Vintage War always has given me problems, regardless of my build number.

I've had tons of sucess with themes though.

Deep Black, Macdroid, Hybrid, android meets ubuntu, carbon glow, fadetoblue, red.black, umbrella2. they all work with 1.41
[Android Themes] manup456:
This really bothers me when people talk about my theme not working dont blame my theme if you dont know what your doing. Most of the people who had problems with my theme got it after they read and learn how this phone works. Vintage War works and i know cause i installed it my self on 6 different G1 phones of family and friends.
[Android Themes] kron2:
the problems you are having have to do with the space on system and the size of the theme. if you did a fresh install of jfrc30 1.41 I think you would find the themes will install or try to uninstall some of the apps you installed and then try the theme.the themes you have installed with no problems probably where smaller,

Interesting, and it makes sense. I'd definitely trade in the transparency for a smoother scroll. You barely notice the transparency anyway so it's not like we'll be missing a bunch of eye candy.

Thanks kron i will give that a shot as well. I do know what im doing manup and i didnt mean to offend like i said your blue star 5 theme is the only one i can install. Im just running out of ideas and asking for advice. Will try what kron said, hopefully that does the trick! Never had problems with any theme before v1.41.

I'm sorry, the post is maybe somewhere, but i couldn't find it, can anyone have a lick to a tutorial for installing themes on an android rooted device ?
[Android Themes] Mikey:
There really isn't a tutorial.

Make sure you install a theme that is compatible with what Rom you installed (RC30,ADP1,etc)

1-Download the theme

2-Rename theme update.

3-Transfer the theme to your Cards root directory, Do not place it inside any folder(s) (/SD card)

4-Reboot your cell. Call+Menu+End key, while rebooting switch over to....Holding Home+End key

5-Should be in recovery mode. Alt+s. If you'd like to wipe first, that's up to you.

6-Reboot again after its completed installing. Home+Back keys

7_ Cross your fingers and hopefully it won't cycle in boot up.

thanks he_stheone64 i've been playing around with the margin and padding values and i'm getting really close to getting the clock how i want it to be :D

also the only issue i still have is that i can't get the lockscreen style "lense" on CM7 to have a text color of white :( i've tried changing it multiple times in the layout folder by changing the keyguard values for the timedisplay/date/am_pm but still its a no go :(

and i can't get margins or padding to work on the lense lockscreen at all either :(
[Android Themes] Nottach:
I've got an issue with some white on white text and I'm hoping someboby with styles.xml experience can help me.

The text I need help with is the Button Text. Suh as the "Mount R/W" button in Root Explorer. I need to change it to black.

I have tried many things and none worked. I have edited Widget.Button and Small.Inverse and since nothing I did made any changes I'm wondering if I'm in the right spot.

Here's my latest try:

<style name="Widget.Button" parent="@style/Widget">
<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceSmallInverse</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/black</item>
<item name="gravity">center</item>
<item name="background">@drawable/btn_default</item>
<item name="focusable">true</item>
<item name="clickable">true</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.Small.Inverse" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">@color/black</item>
<item name="textColorHint">?textColorHintInverse</item>
</style>

The result is still white text.

I've tried in place of "@color/black":

- #ff000000

- @color/bright_foreground_dark

- @color/bright_foreground_light

Funny thing is this:

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">@color/bright_foreground_dark</item>
</style>

gave me black text for my menu which is what I wanted.

Can anybody help?
