OK I dont know if this has been posted anywhere else, I can't find it anywhere. I have a lenovo ideatab A2109 (tegra 3, 9 inch 720p screen), and on androidtablets.net we have CM10 and themes for the softkeys. I am looking for a good collection of zips to change the clock fonts and colors around the interface (especially the boring one in the notification bar on the bottom). lockscreen clock zips and widget changes would be nice too (i dont like the google play clock widgets). Thanks for any help! :)

EDIT: we have no xda thread, but on androidtablets.net there is a kinda decent community

Hi, guys i have question. Maybe you know how I can delete this green line under power widgets, and How I can delete text from clean button. ( I use AOSP GB)
[Android Themes] rohail6:
Hey guys I have a question to ask

What do you think is the best color for this area here?

I've tried different things but nothing puts me at ease, the latest color I tried was a grey between the background and the keyboard color but it still seems dumb, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

So I have a question regarding UCCW skins. I am currently working on a full screen skin or multiple skins to cover the whole full screen. I keep running into an issue with the bottom usually showing the background image. What is the best way to make a single full screen skin or multiple skins that cover the whole screen. I have Note 2 and I am thinking I should start with the size of the home screen with the status bar included. Attached is an image of what I am working on using skins I found on MyColorScreen that I have modified. You can see the part at the bottom is what I don't want. I also want to keep my status bar unlike how it is in my screenshot. Thanks

Seriously, you gus need to read before jumping in. There are a thousand thread with info on how to install the rc33 themes. look at the threads not the first post.
[Android Themes] JackD3ath:
To avoid that problem, you might keep the stock rc33 on your card and move it if you need to reflash. Or dont use a questionable theme before you leave the house for the day. Experiment when you have free time to ensure that all files work, if they dont, you can post in the appropriate thread, and have the problem fixed.

You need to download rc33 LITE
[Android Themes] damnitpud:
Try my FadetoBlue theme, it has been tested with RC33 1.41 and 1.42 works with both!

The link is in my signature.

If mine doesn't work try grabbing RC33 full install and reinstall it.
[Android Themes] damnitpud:
The best thing to do is buy a $6 USB SD Card reader and a $8 1 gig SD Card. Keep RC33 full install and a few themes on the spare SD card. this way as long as your near a computer and your phone won't boot you can go back to stock or a different theme.

That's what i do.

With Stericson's auto-sign method you dont need to re-sign all of the apks. just signing the update.zip is good enough.

The steps i do to make a theme:

Open update.zip in WinRaR

Extract apks i plan to edit from update.zip

Open each apk in WinRaR and extract those files.

When i am done i have an update folder with framework and system inside it. Basically the same structure as whats inside the update.zip.

Now i do all my editing to the extracted files, when i finish with an apk, i open the original update.zip in WinRaR go to where the files i just edited are and drag them right into the folder, inside WinRaR. I get a couple boxes asking to save the files and i hit yes. then i move on to the next apk...rinse and repeat until you are done editing.

After all the editing, i right click the update.zip and choose resign ZIP.

All done, i flash the update to my phone and if it works i upload it and link to it from my post.

I am not sure if this is the most efficient way, but it has worked out well for me. good luck!
[Android Themes] kopykatkiller:
Seems like more of a space issue than a settings missing problem. Were you using the light build or full? If space is short then some apks will not get transfered over to the phone during the flash. I include all the files I modify, while leaving out the ones I don't, therefore it should not "erase" anything that should be there.
[Android Themes] dthadamaja:
you're re-rarring?? you shouldn't be doing that due to the fact that apk is a type of container as .zip and .rar. you need to keep that container intact by opening the apk with winrar or whatnot and placing in your updated files from there. if you want to sign each apk and update.zip, just remove the apk's from the update.zip, but leave the apk intact such as launcher, contacts, etc.

clock question

so im new to the phone and im wondering is there a way to change my clock? looking for something simple saw a few nice ones. transperent looking, kind of like the xperia.
[Android Themes] kopykatkiller:
Being new to the phone does not exclude you from knowing how to search. This has been answered. Please search.
[Android Themes] ihpsta:
Make sure you install the radio update. I overlooked that and it was causing me problems like you described ie stuck at G1 screen. Once the update has been applied, everything worked perfectly.
[Android Themes] daveid:
and just so you know, the only files I left out of my released theme mod were:

com.amazon.mp3.apk

AlarmClock.apk

AlarmClock.odex

Email.apk

Email.odex

IM.apk

&

IM.odex

all other files that are in the RC33 theme template were included in my full release. I released the partial updates (framework-res.apk & framework with launcher.apk's) because people were having issues installing the themes, and I wanted to give them at least the minimum.

However, since my releases never formatted your system partition, it is not at fault for your 'missing' files. The fact of the matter is that RC33 takes up more space on the system partition leaving less room for expansion. New images take up more space, meaning your partition will fill up and cause issues. This is documented and there are workarounds.

Also, keep in mind the very first thing I stated "This works on my phone, but I don't know if it will work on anyone elses". I also said I wasn't originally going to share it, but a lot of people were asking me to, so I did. I was trying to help people, who pushed me to put something up. And now, those same people say I should have waited. Hypocracy I tell ya.

Anyways.... enjoy your phone, but don't blame anyone else for the things you do to it without understanding the consequences of your actions.

I have had my version of the BlueStar theme running since RC33 came out (moments after upgrading actually), and I don't have any of the issues you or other people are commenting about. The reason for this is that I have cleared out space on my system partition, plain and simple.

My gift to XDA themers

I've been lurking here for about 3 weeks, and I've posted a few ideas to the themes hosted here, but other than that, have not really contributed anything to community. As such, I would like to offer something for the themers here.

If any themers would like hosting for the themes, let me know. I have a website with unlimited space and bandwidth, so I would be willing to allow you FTP access to upload your themes. I've noticed that most people use 4share or some type of file sharing website. The download speeds on these services is rather poor. I've downloaded from them on a 6Mbps line, and a 100Mbps line, and both get about 80Kb/sec. The server I would be hosting on is on a full 100Mbps line, and I download from it at around 500Kb/sec.

If any theme Devs are interested, just let me know, and I'll set you up with some access. Send me a PM with a username you would like, along with a password.

Maybe this can be a sticky if enough people are interested.

EDIT: Also, this doesn't just go for theme devs. This goes for anyone who is developing anything for the platform. Be it themes or apps, patches or whatever. Toss up some personal files for all I care.

The only stipulation is that no copywritten material is uploaded. No MP3s, movies, anything like that.
[Android Themes] brandenk:
PM'ed for more information. :)
[Android Themes] Meltus:
it's not the theme designer's sole responsibility to make sure everything is working 100%, people make mistakes and themes get updated.

most people when releasing a theme put a disclaimer saying that it's not their fault if it screws up your phone etc., as YOU should check that everything's working fine, it's YOUR responsibility to find bugs and report back so the developer can implement the changes. You can't expect everything to be perfect all the time.

also, do you have any idea how long it takes to make a full theme from scratch? give them some well deserved credit. If you don't like it, don't install themes or make one yourself. stop complaining about non-existing problems.
[Android Themes] damnitpud:
This is awesome of you, I pay GoDaddy like $3.99/Month for hosting. i only get about 180kb download though. which isn't to bad cause the files are usually pretty small. But this is a good alternative to using download service sites. I hate when they block you after 2-3 downloads for an hour.
[Android Themes] jdwme:
I'll chime in on this, two things here. As theme devs we are responsible for testing our themes before release so we can make sure things work, I know it's frustrating thinking you have a working theme only to find out something isn't right. I'm going through that right now with my themes and some files that got corrupted. Now we won't catch everything, so since we won't catch everything, anyone who installs a theme also needs to understand that the process right now is not an easy one and if something does get messed up you need a backup. I never leave home with a newly installed theme without a way to revert back to the old one. I may have to carry around an extra sd card but it's better than being without a phone or having to find someone with a phone that allows you to move files around on the sd card.

It's our responsibility to make sure our themes are working and fix what isn't, but it's also anyone installing a theme needs to make sure to have a backup, you can't just flash a theme and run out the door.
[Android Themes] sethrd:
Yeah, I figure I'm paying for it, and not using it much, so I might as well put some use to it. I know I hate having to wait a full minute for my download to start, only to get cruddy speeds. If I hate it, I'm sure others do as well. There no limitations on downloads, no wait, nothing. Just pop in the URL the theme dev provides and you are good to go.
[Android Themes] manup456:
Im in so send me the link to the site or what ever it is i need on your part and ill do my part. I will be donig a over haul of my themes to get them working perfect on RC33 V1.42 and ill post them.

SystemUI stock mod?

hi!

I need a bit of info from you guys, it took me a while to find this thread and i think im finally in the right place :)

I'm trying to mod systemUI from stock JB, ruxuma and put it back to stock.

I can't find anything to the point, most tutorials and utilities are made to do the changes on the phone not to flash them as an update and i want to make an update to flash it back to stock.

Im good with odexed roms, ive done mods for odexed ruxuma but cant make it happen on stock

as I understand first deodex, mod systemUI, odex back and flash?

I'm not getting the last part, odex back and flash...

do I have to delete systemUI.odex when I flash the mod systemUI?

does the mod systemUi needs to be odexed back to flash it on stock Rom?

thank you!
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
^ This is the answer.
[Android Themes] nbnion:
Thank you!

From your experience what would you recommend to odex it back? How about SystemUI.odex, do i have to delete that?

2. I thought I knew how to solve this other problem but the xml shows ID numbers.. I want to rid of the on/off text in the toggles:

Thanks in advance!
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
I'd look at the statusbar xmls in your SystemUIs layout folder, I'd look to try and reduce the size of the space given for the button.

Try the strings.xml in your framework folder, so if your code looks like...

<string name="switch_on">on</string>

...change it to...

<string name="switch_on"></string>

...or leave a space, and see if that works.

Hey guys and gals. So I am having an issue pinning down one resource image file for an HTC Sense 4.1.2 ROM

I have replaced stat_notify_wifi_in_range.png in all those locations but when I go into settings and click on scan to find available WIFI networks I get the stock icon.

Not-that-basic theming

Hi, im trying to modify the CM10 systemUI layout to move the power widget to the top, and the date/clock/clear all button bar down. Just like the Xperia JB layout. The thing is that the only thing i get its a overlap, i can move the power widget to the upper position but i cant move the date/clock/clear all button bar to the position where the power widget was. They are both in the upper position in the best scenario (sometimes i get weird layouts) and i need some clues if anyone knows a correct way to do it. I know how to edit the xmls for the layout (status_bar_expanded.xml and status_bar_expanded_header.xml), but i dont know how to make it look like the Xperia JB way. Take a look at the screenshots of the CM10 and Xperia Layout i have attached if you dont get what im looking for. CM10 (with a theme) is what i have, Xperia JB looks i what im trying to reach.
