From one semi noob to another, there is a thread at the top of the page labeled as a sticky. It explains what must be done to be able to flash a new theme into your phone. I looked into it as well as I was very active in flashing my WING. However this g1 is like a whole different process.

I would advise you to search around the dream section.

Can someone tell me start-to-finish how to install a theme?

I want to install the Macdroid or iPhone theme on my phone. My phone is on RC30 still, not rotted or whatever (I don't really know all the terminolgy.)

Could someone tell me start to finsh (Feel free to link me to other topics) on how to install a theme? What do i need to install on the phone or on the computer? Do I need to have it rooted or "flash" it so something? (Not really sure what "flash" means. Thank you so much. It's really appreciated.

PS. Please keep in mind, I'm computer savvy, but dont know all the Android software terminology. I'm using a Mac computer too.
[Android Themes] speoples20:
Its really not that hard to find this out for yourself. Try the search option or this other wonderful thing called Stickies, they are usually at the top of a forum and have the most popular information and quite possibly what your looking for.
[Android Themes] All~G1:
Thats some of the best advice you'll get.

I would search for:

-Root JesusFreke v1.41

-Applying theme

Once you understand and take the proper steps you'll be able to apply any theme. Without researching you'll just get lost.
[Android Themes] Datruesurfer:
Installing from a Mac is a pain in the ass because safari always unzips the update package that contains the theme, making it useless. If you use a windows computer, it is much easier.

You can use firefox.:)

Help with installing theme.

Hello all,

I am trying to install the first theme here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=511183

(the black and blue one). I have down loaded the latest updated version and installed it. The only thing that has changed is the clock and app drawer to black. I really want the wallpaper and batter meter and everything else that goes along with it. Any idea what I need to do or didn't do? I have all the pages on that thread and nothing seems to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] malaeus:
what version ROM are you running, those themes are built for JF1.51ADP, not EU or US. but ADP. i believe the devs are working to port them to US and EU but for now, try using cyanogens 3.4 ROM its very nice, very fast, and the theme works like a charm, however. why dont you try out the latest version of the theme

Why is the noti bar red instead of black? kind of ruins the theme for me. If it was a black noti bar this would be an awesome theme. wonder if anyone can exit it and repost?
[Android Themes] Breakthecycle2:
Got it!

I just did a wipe and it worked. I got the theme to install finally! Thanks guys!

One quick question, how the heck do you move the clock to the first screen and move the good tool bar to the another screen on the home page?
[Android Themes] malaeus:
What do you mean toolbar? Its long press control as usual.
[Android Themes] ivanmmj2:
For future reference: I've noticed that if you change the default wallpaper on your phone and then try a theme, it doesn't change the wallpaper for you automatically to the "themed" wallpaper. You have to do it manually or do a wipe.

Oops... I'm logged into my alternate persona... (I check messages on the road with this so that it doesn't mark things are read...)
[Android Themes] malaeus:
np glad you liked it, however if you needed a link to it, check out my sig lol.
[Android Themes] Breakthecycle2:
Sorry... I meant google search bar. For some reason (i guess the 1.5 update changed it) it is now on the main menu screen, but when you scroll over, the clock is there. I want set it up, like how it was with 1.0. I can't figure out how to do it.
[Android Themes] malaeus:
? you mean rearranging the home screen widgets and icons? like, put the clock in the middle? and the seach on the other screen?
[Android Themes] jubeh:
although... you might want to erase the AlarmClock.odex. You don't really need it since it came from Tehseano's theme (i checked the file) and the .dex file is still within the apk. It might even conflict (though dalvik picks up the odex prefferably to decompressing the .dex out of the apk.

@ Kavants:

I have an HTC (Vodafone) Magic and for a couple of days now I have been trying to get the hero animations to work on pretty much any of the ROMS available. I have been unsuccessful until now!! When using the anim folder from the framework-res.apk from any given hero ROM on any of the Magic ROMS I just ended up looping at the boot screen BUT... using the anim folder from your theme for ION builds and adding it to framework-res.apk from the rogers ROM that I am using, editing the update script.. re-signing and VOILA!!! it worked!!

So, Thank you very much for creating this theme, I do like the rest of the theme but am not a fan of the red. I do understand why it is red and not black though. No offence intended, again just wanted to say thank you!!

Thanks also to JediMasterASD for asking the question that brought me here in the first place.
[Android Themes] malaeus:
long press on the icons or widgets you want to move or trash, to move them drag them to the edge of the screen in the direction you want to move. if you want to trash them drag them to the drawer tab, it will turn into a trash can. then let go where you want to drop the icon or widget. if you drop on trash can it will, well, trash it lol. you can always pull them back up by long-pressing on a blank section of screen (in between icons and widgets) and it will bring up a selection menu, click widgets and choose your widget, it will drop it wherever it can fit it, or tell you there isnt enough room if your screen is too full. you can move them again from there.

hope this helps.

Is this even possible with sound outside of the hero build? im currently running thedude's 1.2b build, Id like that japanese boot screen on my phone
[Android Themes] andonnguyen:
Doesn't seem possible outside of a hero build. A typical non-hero build uses multiple png images within framework-res.apk/assets/images for the second boot screen. However, the hero builds seem to use a boot_animation.xml, a gif image, and an mp3 file located in /system/media, for the second bootscreen. We need for someway to have android read boot_animation.xml at bootup so it can load the gif image and mp3 file.
[Android Themes] djdeviance:
Get the .gif you want. Resize to 320x480. Save then

adb remount

adb push boot.gif /system/media

adb reboot to find out if it's changed.

yay fixed

sorry for the long post but I figure the more info the better....

ok, so I'm failing miserably :\ For now I'm just trying to change one .png "btn_check_off.png"(darkened a bit) within framework-res.apk in the IonR2 update.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong here? Do I need a special autosign tool for Ion? Do I need to worry about the *.odex files? Is there a blank IonR2_update floating around? Anyone willing to compile the images into an update for IonR2 if I design them?

Here's a summary of the steps I'm taking:

1. rename IonR2.zip -> update.zip -> right click -> 7zip -> open archive -> find the apk -> drag out of the 7zip(update.zip) window to the folder C:\and\edit.

2. C:\and\edit\framework-res.apk -> right click -> 7zip ->open archive -> find the png -> drag out of the 7zip(fram...apk) window -> edit -> delete old png located in 7zip(fram...apk) window -> drag edited png back into 7zip(fram...apk) window -> exit 7zip(fram...apk).

3. Resign* edited apk -> delete the old apk located in 7zip(update.zip) window -> drag edited Resigned apk back into 7zip(update.zip) window -> exit 7zip(update.zip).

4. Resign edited update.zip

5. follow standard steps to install update.zip

I've tried resigning the apk/zip while it was located in C:\and\edit\ with the "right click -> Resign Apk/Zip" tool which seems to return the 'best' result. I make thru install ok(seems to take a bit long) then to the android boot screen which loops.

The other method using the autosign.bat+files located in C:\and\sdk\tools (along with the files to be signed) gives me digest failed* during installation and fails to install.

Both resign tools installed per their respective instructions and seem to be set up correctly "no errors, classpath, path, java up to date, sdk installed correctly etc"

I've tried a few other suggestions/ideas that I've dug up through searching with no luck such as:

a: using an empty update.zip containing just /system/framwork/framework-res.apk and /meta_inf/-sub files- (fails, usually with *symlink...bugreport* type error)

b: delete the apk's and/or the zip's meta-inf folder completely before resigning (fails install)

c: (using astro) install only the framework-res.apk (only gives option to uninstall, won't)

d: extract all the update.zip and/or framework-res.apk then re-compress the zip/apk (fails install)

I'm still using HardSPL jf1.42 but have had no issues installing the original IonR2 update.zip. Newest Radio. I'd really like to create a deep blue theme but just can't seem to get past the easy step.

themes for JF1.51 crb 43 US?

Hey guys,

Just downloaded the jf1.51 crb43 us and was wondering what themes are available for it.... seems like everything is for only the adp version. did i make a mistake in choosing the rom?

thanks
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Most themes will not work for the US version because the way that JesusFreke had compiled it. He used a compression (.cramfs) for the framework folder to save space. Even after the compression it still ended up being almost 2mb more then the ADP version.

Why don't you try the ADP version? It's the same except no MyFaves (for now) and IM (but can be added manually if you really need it).

[Android Themes] daddycat31:
I have been wondering the same thing. I have tried the ADP themes and they load up fine, but the bar at the top and the on-screen keyboard doesn't change with the theme. I really like the new updates, but the themes really set the phone off to me. Wish I had the time to sit down and develop my own, besides the people out here doing it are awesome, so I am waiting for themes for this update also.
[Android Themes] tanner2007:
I really want a JF 1.51 us theme as well, whats taking so long I really want one so badly
[Android Themes] NeoBlade:
I got to this point too, however I was looking into working more with the xml as it gives a lot more customisation. Really with this sadly we're limited to just an animated scrolling effect seen through the transparent mask. Great for loading bars but little else in terms of being flashy.

Been a bit busy today with some website revamps, but will look into it more when I install VMs etc.

True, but better than nothing, i suppose!

Issues with some themes loading

My question is what would make some themes load while for the same build others wouldn't? And if thats the case could i take said launcher.apk from the theme that works and put it into the theme that wouldn't work to make it work?
[Android Themes] crotalusfreak:
Wish this thread was up a month ago I had been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out on the dudes builds.If i extracted the framework-res.apk then repack/signed it,it would always loop at splash one.Last week I figured out to just rename the .apk to .zip explore it then inject and overwrite original images with my images and it has worked since.Here is my boot screen credit/thanks to original artist of the reaper.
[Android Themes] :
Is this only for the dudes builds - can this work on JF 1.51 ADP?
[Android Themes] kusotare:
should work on any google-based build.

heres a very crude animated gif i did based on my current animation, which is obviously MUCH smoother on the phone (and not quite as fast either:
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
being a themer ive run into problems:

when the icon size is not "exact"

when the update is too large and boot in a loop

when the files even further than launcher.apk are changed or renamed or in a different location (e.g. clock widget is now app clock widget in alarm folder, no launcher)

when you are using ION, since i think people are having some difficulties with all edits copying over

when the update.zip is not fully download/corrupt

my take on it is remember back when JF had the only build and would release it and then a week or sooner the theme template comes out? well.. not working so easily these days since the builds become more complex and memory is a bigger issue than customization, so to speak...

and its 90 million builds :-), so with all of the updates and wipes, gets hectic..

itll all be worked out soon, there is enough demand, itll get done or be done that themes for all builds will be figured out..

Ion Themes

will any theme devs make any themes for Ion rom??

it is possible will other devs try it???
[Android Themes] jubeh:
there are a few themed ion packages floating around, it's the whole rom as right now people are unclear about how to make a single update template for ion themes, most of what they've tried breaks (it has to do with the odex, i think, if you're going to make a theme, you have to theme a full apk that has the dex file still on it, then run the odex script to extract the dex, and then package into an update, the odex is (as the name implies) optimized for that particular platform, so i'm not exactly sure how that would affect people running different kernel versions, spls, apps2sd, etc, but that seems to be the part breaking the updates). ION roms are still compatible with full (non optimized) apks, so any theme that replaces the whole apk (except for framework-res, as that one is tied to other files at the framework folder) from any 1.5 android version should work right with ion, at that point i'd also recomend removing the odex that was left in your system, i think ion's dalvik just ignores it if it finds the regular dex inside, but i'm not sure yet, it might cause problems. the performance hit you get from having a non optimized dex (dalvik bytecode) is neglible, as most of the performance increase reported from ion seems to come actually from the re-worked vm as opposed to running native bytecode.
[Android Themes] chrisag92:
oo well hopefully sumone is able to figure this out because ion rom is pretty quick i havent had any lags at all. but thanks for your reply :)
[Android Themes] jubeh:
i liked that rom a lot too, speed was great, but i loved how small it was (i'm a minimalist and as soon as i could i removed all apks i didn't use, over 90 mb free w/o apps2sd), I had to remove it, though, because youtube would stutter a lot while on wifi at high quality. I could just have taken the jf 1.51 youtube apk and pushed it to ion, same with the music apk, and other parts of the rom, but i figured if i was going to push most of jf 1.51 back into it, i might as well run jf 1.51 itself (cyanogen's flavor, it's got ion's vm, and it comes overclocked, so it's plenty fast too)

[Android Themes] alritewhadeva:
I know RandumAccess is currently making Ion themes right now
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
yeah it really comes down to cramfs

this is the main reason why themers have not applied their work. It has just made things more complex, and since everyone is working at his or her own pace on what they want.... they probably are sticking with the easier "old-fashioned" way to theme.

The cramfs are all about compression, Stericson or JF addressed this when the build first came out and gave instructions on how to edit cramfs and get to the framework folder inside...

my best bet to any one who want to try is search for cramfs, get a CRB43 build, take your theme copy over the apps folders etc... and then edit the cramfs and framework then re flash ya build

good luck
[Android Themes] blackknightavalon:
Like I said, I'm just waiting for my laptop to get in. I'm not a total n00b with Linux (thanks to the G1 itself), but I still have a lot to learn. Hopefully I can port the themes over to cramfs and send them over to the original devs so THEY can release them.
[Android Themes] doubleokneegro:
i kno ur waiting... just giving u the heads up about the cramfs..

and yeah giving it to the creators to release is a good thing... there was a big spill out on here about people releasing chopped versions... but i forgot where the thread was but i think its called

"everything you need to know about cramfs" or something by Stericson i think...
