[Android Themes] Lister Of Smeg:
Greetings All,

Apologies if this is not the place to post this, but I was wondering if there is, or anyone knows of....

Either an All-in-One Theme/Launcher pack, that contains all the icons/wallpapers of all Android versions upto present, or as recent as.

or,

If there are seperate packs of icons/wallpapers, per Android version release....

I really liked the icons / design of older Android releases, especially the original design, such as Donut, Froyo, Gingerbread and ICS/JellyBean. They had a certain flare for them, and it would be nice to see them again in a modern environment. I doubt such a thing exists, and closest that comes to it is the ADW Launcher 2.... However, I wonder if there are icon packs as such...?

Cheers, Lister

How to make a module that fit for Huawei.hwt /xiaomi.mtz theme?

Hi guys

I'm a rookie for theming a module for .hwt.

we all know that module contains res/pics and theme/colors file. but how do I extract pics/colors from an APK that I want to mod?

there's 800lines colors codes at least in the colors.xml in a certain apk ,I have no idea how to locate the exact color code that I want.(Dev tools layout inspector couldn't locate resource ID very well ,for example the setting.apk/ui.apk and framework-res.apk

please enlighten me

thanks in advance

[Theme] Carbon glow update 02-11-09 rc30/

rc33 1.41 compatible

Maybe he should rename it? Whats the deal with lite anyways? Why would you want to remove the system audio? It doesn't seem to take up that much memory.

(irritated)
[Android Themes] daveid:
Actually, in the original post (where you went to download that theme, it states:

So, I will try not to flame you too hard (as that is a common practice on forums these days), please read the instructions. If you are unwilling to follow those instructions, don't blame anyone else for the consequences.

Now then, there are numerous posts about this subject, and how to move the stock audio files to your sdcard (so nothing is lost). There is simply less room on the /system partition for themes with the advent of the new features included in RC33. Thus, measures needed to be taken... the easiest one was to remove the stock audio, the more difficult is for the theme creators (who have already put so much time into their themes BTW) to re-compress all of their graphics.

Which would you do?

The stock audio files take up 2.25MB, on a partition with only ~65MB available, that is a big deal.
[Android Themes] bmj1086:
I read that but the information in the post is contradicting to the title thus making me believe that it will work with either one.

I read all of the posts about the stock audio (that I know of) I understand what it does, I have been modding phones since the motorola razr. If you move the stock audio to the SD card does the phone automatically read them from that location? In past experiences with other phones if you had the settings set to use those specific files and you remove them then the ringtone portion of the phone does not work causing me to change the settings to [none] before moving or deleting the system files.
[Android Themes] JackD3ath:
If you want just the icons read this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471586

Or just stick with stock theme.

And if you create a folder on your SD card called Music, you can create the folders "ringtones", "notifications", and "alarms" and the tones you place in those folders will appear in the selection menus.

So after you create those folders on your card, you can use linda file manager to copy them from the system to the card, and you will still have all the crappy stock tones that come with the fone.
[Android Themes] JackD3ath:
The file you provided is very basic indeed. I would say anything is possible, but you arent making it very easy.

What kind of DRM (battery icons, signal meters, icons, etc) were you looking for?

Just a side note, I am currently working on porting Lovely Monkee for RC33,

and I am working on a Star Wars theme. The Star Wars theme will prolly suck but I need the practice and have found some great icons. LM is almost ready, just waiting for reply from original author.

I am also contemplating a Formula 1 theme. I have gathered some good icons for this idea aswell.
[Android Themes] bmj1086:
This is exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you.

Dialer icon will not change

I've been having this problem since I've started making themes. The dialer icon will not change to the new one I've loaded into the APK. I removed the audio files to free up some space, even compressed the png to a file size smaller than the original size, and nothing. It's weird because under "manage aplications", I can see my icon next to Dialer.
[Android Themes] MOONSSPOON:
There are a lot of duplicate images between phone.apk and contacts.apk. You may find the same icon in both, so change both!

[Android Themes] borodin1:
Oh people, oh people

Do your research, there's an app on the market, it's called LaunchPad (one word). It adds a notification to your pull-down menu,you click on it and it shows 16 or 18 apps that you opened last. It expired on 17th but will be updated on 25th. I don't know if its still going to be free or not.

Check it out here (pay attention 10th to 15th second of the video)

It's space. Do with it what you will. I'm just providing the space. If you want to setup a site, I will not be able to help with that. I don't have the time.
[Android Themes] xtrip0dx:
I have a similar idea that this thread made me think of....

How about. Having the the notification " pull down" bar, placing it at the bottom and giving it a tab just like the program tab, and placing the 2 side by side along the bottom of the screen....

Obviously as stated in prior posts it would only be feesable only is the home screen, but I find it difficult to grab and pull the notification bar compared to pulling up on the programs tab...

Just an idea, any thoughts?

phone stuck on boot screen...

ok so i just tried to install a new theme on my phone, and long story short after the phone finished installing the theme, it gets stuck on the boot screen. like the android screen pops up, and then the normal "lock" screen comes on as it usually would, but then after about 7 seconds the phone restarts and does it all over again. does anyone know how to fix this? any help greatly appreciated.

[Android Themes] Meltus:
erm, can't resist...

oh borodin, oh borodin

do your damn research and actually READ what the OP wrote. you'll then release that this app is NOT what he is asking for.

fair enough, it's an ok workaround, but try to take a less patronising tone next time.

have a nice day :)
[Android Themes] JackD3ath:
You should probably read more before just flashin stuff to your phone. Is your phone important to you? Was it expensive?

[Android Themes] shilster:
i had this same problem, browsing thru the forums i found an answer

boot in to recovery console

where u suppose to press alt + s ect

press alt-x

asuming you have your usb drivers. and have the android sdk type this

adb shell

and then when it goes to #

type

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

this will give u an access to ur computer thru ur data cable

hm....First time install theme?

Download the theme down -> put it in ur SD card -> rename it Update.zip -> unplug ur phone with ur computer -> turn off ur phone -> turn it back on by holding both Power button + Homescreen button -> press Alt+s and let it run -> U done, reboot ur phone by pressing Homescreen + Back button

[Android Themes] borodin1:
Point well taken. I Re-read the thread and you're right. Not trying to patronize by any means.

Still... the only actual solution yet, even if it's less then perfect. I found using this a lot more then long-press home button or pull-up menu. The point of this app is that most people use more then 6 apps in a day so home button will not do the trick a lot of times. Launch pad worked like magic (not to confuse with "G2" :D) every time.

Thanks for pointing out my "patronizing tone", once more that was not the intention.

Good luck to everyone

Just edit the png images of the pull-up box in photoshop
[Android Themes] jdwme:
if that were to work then someone could create an application that would do this for us, it could automatically link the images to images of the same name in a folder on the sd card and you could just change the icons in that folder, or even better yet, the app could also help manage themes. But I don't think it'd be possbile to have all that. Most themes include editing icons not only in the app apk files but also in framework-res.apk

General Questions go here ONLY!!!

Wallpapers:

What should the size resolution of a wallpaper be?

640x480

How do you add wallpapers and where?

Mount your phone when you plug in the USB cord

Create a folder on your SD Card named wallpapers

Drag and drop the wallpaper from your PC's desktop to the wallpaper folder on your SD Card

Unplug the USB Cord

Click on menu -> wallpaper -> Pictures

or

Themes:

Do i need root access to install a theme?

YES

Is there a manual on how to create a theme???

Yes, they are located here.

Phone.apk\res\drawable-finger - for the in-call pull-up numpad

Contacts.apk\res\drawable - for the dialer and contacts icons

Contacts.apk\res\drawable-finger - for the default (not in-call) numpad

Not these days. Chances are it will not wipe your info.

Yes you can

Mount your phone using your USB Cable

On the SD Cards root directory....create a folder named "Themes"

Place the themes you want in that folder

Download some file manager program from the market..ex OI File Manager, Astro, etc.

Actually installing any theme onto your theme:

Copy the theme you want to use in the root of the card

Rename file update.zip...make sure you only have 1 file with that name in root directory of the card

reboot your phone prior to turning back on....PRESS and hold the call+Menu+end call till the recovery mode appears. Press ALT+S, let it update and finish, then finish off with the back+home key to reboot

My guess is the people who can make this happen are waiting to see if Google does it for us. No point in spending a lot of time in creating something that Google might do for us. Also, Android is still in its infancy, so chances are that Google will change how the Android GUI works which would render the theme software useless.

Having said that, I would definitely love such an application.
