Sorry, I do not know how to check the full name of the ROM.

The information I do have is as shown in the picture.
[Redmi Note 10] NOSS8:
Sourceforge is not an official Xiaomi website.

anyway it doesn't change anything, no TWRP or custom ROM compatible with your phone on XDA, can be seen on Japanese sites.

Hello, I am a little new here. I am kind of a newb with a lot of things. I did root my device and replaced the boot images.. but i do not know how to make themes. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help by making a theme for me?

I added some images as to what i am looking to have done, that is of course anyone is willing to help. it is fairly simple i am looking to get the color scheme and kids icons if possible... maybe have a little fun with the clock or not if its too much work.

If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it... i am a graphic designer more than a programmer.. a lot of this is confusing to me.

I really like this site and hopefully i can be of some help at some point. This is my first post but i plan on posting a lot more.
[Android Themes] agusta:
Nice concept...but I`m not sure if you have looked at this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467639 It describe how to make a theme and stuff, good starting point anyways. Hope it helps!
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
Yeah ive seen that thread but it scares me...lol

I really dont know what I am doing with all that stuff. I dont really know if I understood everything in it either :-\

thanx though I will try to follow it and make a theme myself but it might take me a while...lol
[Android Themes] agusta:
hahaha I would offer help but unfortunately I am no programmer :p
[Android Themes] brandenk:
Im teaching myself how to make themes as well. I have found it best to read through that walkthrough a million times and then PM a couple of the dev guys to answer specific questions.

Basically this is the process:

- Take a theme that you like for RC30 or ADP1 or whatever you wanna make it in

- Extract 2 folders inside, app, and framework into a new folder on your computer

- Rename add a .zip to the end of the apk files and extract them all so you have a bunch of folders with your app names

- Go into res and find any folder that says drawable and inside of there are the files to edit for your theme. Make sure not to edit the .9.png files.

- Once all your editing is done get into linux and turn all the folders back into zip files, then turn them back into apk files.

- Then take your app folder and framework folder that contain the new files and in linux create it into one zip file.

- Then you send the file back to windows, get the SignAPK files, put your zip in the folder with the SignAPK files and run some commands in the CMD to resign the file.

- Then rename that file update.zip and put it on the SDcard and give it a whirl.

This is how I understand the process after talking to a couple people for the last few days. I am hoping to release my own theme soon and if it works you will know that these steps are right. LOL And dont follow those directions, they are just to give you an idea of the steps involved.
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
Agusta - haha s ok thanks anyway :-D
[Android Themes] Geo411m:
@brandenk

why do we need to zip the files in linux? By the way thanks for the theming for dummies guide. ;)
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
trying it out

hey thanks... i am gonna try it now
[Android Themes] brandenk:
I don't know why, something about how linux packages zip files opposed to windows, and yes once I figure it out and find all the problems people can have I am going to make up a nice walkthrough on making themes. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were already some theme manager apps in the works to make this whole process easier.
[Android Themes] Dave Da illest 1:
to tell everybody the truth i do all my themes in windows lol and only windows and it has worked on other peoples devices but shhhh thats out lil secret ;)
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
package it for me?

Hey I was wondering if anyone could package my files for me?

I don't know linux commands at all and am lost... I did manage to edit the files but I can't put them back together.

If anyone could help with my New problem I would be very grateful!

randumaccess.com/r.a%20rc30.zip

That is the zip with the folders I edited.

Thanks

[Android Themes] Stericson:
Yes, you can make the update.zip in Windows as long as you have the update script I wrote in linux and you do not edit, or open it in Windows. If you do it will get corrupted.

Stericson
[Android Themes] brandenk:
So as long as we take that empty update.zip and just throw the apk's in their respective folders and resign the zip when we are done it should be good to go?
[Android Themes] Stericson:
That's correct it should be good to go.

[Android Themes] xavier6303:
I guess I need to start learning how to create some themes
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
I did something wrong (theme newb)

how do you do the themes in windows?

heres what i did:

1. I unzipped a theme

2. renamed apk's to zip's

3. unzipped each folder

4. edited the drawable files

5. zipped the folders with winrar

6. renamed them back to apk's

7. then i took the update script from Stericson and opened it with winrar and threw them in the app/framework folders

it didnt work for me.

I dont know linux and use windows, i am a newb with a lot of this stuff. I would like to know so i can create themes to my liking.

any help you could give me would be great!

i have all the files edited i just need to package them now.

thanks,

RandumAccess
[Android Themes] Geo411m:
make sure you zip the folders inside the main folder. If you're working on launch folder, zip the folder inside the folder named launch not the launch folder itself.
[Android Themes] xavier6303:
How about a how-to using the Windows only method??
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
yeah that didnt work either :-(

I would like to see a "Windows Only Theme Tutorial: Super-Newb Edition" ...lol
[Android Themes] Geo411m:
did you sign each of the edited apk's? and your update.zip file?
[Android Themes] d00m:
This is being totally overused around here. It isn't funny or clever.
[Android Themes] momentarylapseofreason:
And he wasn't replying to you. I think this is being worked on..... hopefully we will see some edits soon
[Android Themes] cannon1616:
i know

i know he was talking to me i was answering his reply that was to my question.
[Android Themes] tehseano:
So I tried to follow this tutorial to the best of my knowledge, however here I am :)

Alright, so when I try to use the sign files manually option in Stericson's auto-signer, I get this error:

My actions were:

-change Launcher.apk > Launcher.zip

-Extract to /Launcher/

-Changed png's in drawable-port

-Re-rar'd the archive

-change Launcher.rar to Launcher.apk

-Ran Stericson's auto-signer, option 4, put in the correct file path, then got the error above.

I'm new to making themes so please forgive me if I've missing something obvious :)
[Android Themes] Dharkaron:
what, no broken glass theme?
[Android Themes] tehseano:
I find it hilarious. So many people here who are using a google phone, fail at first google'ing their issue. If you ask me, its a teaching lesson. (Although it still doesn't hurt to ask questions)

HOw to install g1 themes witout losing phone content

i read these fourms over and over again and i wante to know is there a way to install dream themes on a rc30 g1 without losing any info or if you van direct me to a fourms or step by step direction to install g1 themes without delete phone info
[Android Themes] samysam05:
Most if not all RC30 themes doesnt require a wipe. but in case something happen u can always perform a backup before trying the theme. and as far as installing:

1-Download the theme( make sure its the correct one for your phone)

2-Rename to update.zip, put in root of Sdcard

3-Reboot in recovery by pressing Call +menu+ End and hold home+end( u can aslo open terminal do a Su then reboot recovery)

4-When in Recovery just do Alt+s and thats it!
[Android Themes] nickmgray:
I was just about to ask this same question when I saw the thread. It's great being able to customize the UI, but the mian thing we see when we hit any button on the G1 once the screen is off is that ugly clock screen.

Editing that graphics for it would be nice, but I'm thinking that most of us might want a little more information to show up. Number one feature for me would be to see the % of battery level like it displays when it's plugged in.
[Android Themes] skri11a:
I believe that if you go into safari's preferences and uncheck 'open "safe" files after downloading' (it's in the general tab) it will solve that problem.

It's something you should do anyway.

[Android Themes] Cargo75:
One more question, I read somewhere that If I root my phone and all, I will always have to manually update my phone myself when new updates come out, meaning I cant download the ones T-Mo sends out. Is this true?
[Android Themes] hova killer:
do you need the root on g1 to install a themes?
[Android Themes] samysam05:
Anything but the Stock Rc30/Rc8 will do. You should try using JF v1.41.....
[Android Themes] skri11a:
Yes, that's correct. Which is something you want. The whole point in rooting your phone is so that T-Mo can't take away your control of your device.

Not to mention, I don't think you'll find anyone here that would discredit the quality of the builds on this site. We're already leaps ahead of what the standard G1 community has.
[Android Themes] haitiankid4lyf:
yeah that is true but who needs tmobile?? :D I rather have multi touch, syslinked data, themes and SOOO much more than have the ability to get OTA updates. also even if you did use tmobiles update you will lose root
[Android Themes] tubaking182:
yes you do neet root, go to the android developement forum from the dream forum(at top of screen click "dream" then "android developement") then the stickie titled rooting hacking your g1 and follow directions and you'll have root, then you can install a theme

Removing Icons from launcher

Does anyone know how I would go about removing icons from the launcher window? I want to remove all of the "aftermarket" icons, leaving me with only the base apps that came with android. I like making folders on the desktop, and putting all aftermarket stuff in these folders, that way my launcher looks clean, instead of having a bunch of randomly colored icons everywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.
[Android Themes] tubaking182:
how about a playstation 3 or xbox 360 theme? both could be really nice with the wallpaper as the logo

[Android Themes] david1171:
have you tried placing them in a .zip an flashing them? also have you gone back and made sure that all of your images are the same size as the stock ones?
[Android Themes] m0nst3rr:
Yeah, ive tried everything.

Then i tried a wipe..... and now i feel like an idiot.

Shoulda guessed that a wipe would fix it.

The images dont have to be the same size do they? I've used some that arent and it works.

Thanks for all the help anyways! :D

when switching from one theme to another (not an update to a theme) is it best to wipe before applying the new theme

no, but it is a good idea to reflash the rom before another theme for that same rom, so you get a "clean" install of the new theme.

Script help

I have a question that will help me with my themes. I have no idea about scripting (actually I havent done it in like 6 years and forgot everything). I have a set of icons in a folder, and I need to rename them all. Could someone help me with a script that would automatically rename them? It would be the same set of files being renamed each time. I will greatly appreciate any help with this.

Edit: Really all I need it help on what commands to use to rename, I can write the rest if someone can get me started

:: iconrename.bat

from filename1.png to filename1new.png
from filename2.png to filename2new.png

:: end

Thanks!
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Pull the Vending.apk from your stock ROM or the HTC ROM if you are on cyanogen. Depending on the color, I know Sir*Mez has done black/color on the thing in his beautiful M_Blend theme.

Once you pull the Vending.apk form wherever you do, just push it back through adb or the terminal
[Android Themes] Boonyard:
Thanks Jairomeo! It was actually the m_blend theme that gave me the blue in the first place!

Can't find a black version though, only blue and red?

Hey there theme gurus...i am here asking for some help, or at least directions to the help...I recently started playing around with making my own theme...its been a slow process, mainly because I can not stick with one rom for too long..lol...cyanogen updates his, or king updates his, or 3 new hero roms pop up, blur is always enticing...anyways I have stuck with cyanogen 4231 for now for about a week, and started theme'n it..

So here is my dilema:

First: if i edit the Phone.apk, and push it back in, the core and everything else crashes constantly...all I am doing is editing the images...why does this happen?

Second: Here are the first edits I have made to the Phone.apk:

Obviously the landscape pic is messed up, but i cannot figure out why, I stuck with the same image resolution throughout my editing, and as you can see the overlapping is horrible, the buttons work, and amazingly choosing the wrong button doesnt really happen...but I would like to get rid of the overlap...any help?

Thanks in advance to anyone who provides some incite into these problems...

2) Contact app don't rotate then it's ok

So i just installed cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and im thinking about installing a theme.

How do i uninstall it if i dont like the theme? Apply a nandroid backup? or is there another way.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Nope, Nandroid backup or apply another theme (someone made stock templates, so you can flash that too)
[Android Themes] mrnv45:
or just applys cyan them bacc over and it will due away with any theme!
[Android Themes] david1171:
unless they have the google apps themed then cyanogen's rom will not touch them. which is why the templates that were made were suggested. most themers i have seen with the google apps themed have made something that will remove them. Also, since you got them in the htc 1.6 .zip, then you can extract them and adb push them or cp them in the recovery console.
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
Yup, which is why in my thread I have a stock 1.6 that is for just the apk's. But it is a stock 1.6 to remove anything I themed, so it doesnt have any of the updates that Cyan added like the browser or phone.
[Android Themes] david1171:
yeah i have a google_remove.zip that only over writes the .apks that i changed.
[Android Themes] cypherinside:
Can i push a framework-res.apk file?

Can i directly put a framework-res.apk file with some modding icons in the htc magic or do I need to create a theme?
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
If you want to make mods without making a theme, I'd recommend you to check out Stericson's MetaMorph, much easier way to do the theme, and change out icons for apps. I believe you can push framework-res.apk, but you have to stop processes in adb first, if you just push it without doing something else first ( I don't remember the command) you will be met with FC's and have to reflash.
[Android Themes] cypherinside:
1st of all, thank you. I don't think I will follow Stericson's istructions because, if I understand, this project is still in testing. I will read the istructions to create a theme... i think not be so difficult (i hope). the problem is that I could not find the italian istructions (and whether, for example, I understand "remove" instead "save", this might be a problem :D:D:D)
[Android Themes] jairomeo:
It may say alpha but it is working fine, I have over 10 themes using this method and it is just as efficient as a full theme and follows the same process, but you dont have to deal with the apk's or resign

I'm sure there was a thread somewhere but searching for ".9 png" or even "9 png" comes back with no results for this section of the forum.
