notification icons

I've been trying to edit my notification icons for 3 days now, i tried using metamorph to theme it, which has never worked and now tried changing the icons individually using ninjamorph, which also hasn't worked. Does anyone here know how to do this another way or can tell me how to morph correctly? I'm running CM6 on the htc incredible.

Change dock without changing 3D drawer.

I have the Darky's ROM 9.2 and I love her 3D drawer (much better than the drawer of Launcherpro) but by the accesibility offered by the dock of Launcherpro, I use this. Is there any way I can have a dock of these features without having to change the drawer of this rom?

Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

Or any good-looking icons which will be placed on black background of notification bar?

Is there a place (here or elsewhere) where I can browse CM themes ? I'm surprised I don't really find any themes out there...:confused:
[Android Themes] rori~:
If you mean CM themes using t-mo engine, that´s quite new and there are not many done yet.

But there are a lot good themes, as morphs, or to flash for CyanogenMod 6 and some are even for CM7 nightlies.

Is there a specific size that Launcher PRO uses for the app drawer icon? I have an icon i want to use from UltraLinx file i bought but when i go to apply the app drawer icon it comes out really small. I've managed to re-skin everything else just not the app drawer icon. The icon set is 4x1 (480x100) i'm unsure if it's making it really small because it's too large or what. Any help would be appreciated.

[Android Themes] Strapt:
hey guys, I am wondering if there is a reason why after I make a market widget semit-transparent that the background is a different size/shape then the original solid color

For example I just did Engadget. After I edited the widget_base_plane.9.png and applied the widget the transparency is there but the transparent window does not retain its same size and the text goes over the backgound .. unlike the original one does.

I see that the file I edited retains the same pixel size after I save the edit as the original pixel size of the untouched file.

I did convert to alpha first and then I just changed the opacity to a greater transparency. saved the file to replace the original.

this is the before:

and this is the after:

any ideas would help.

I am using apk manager/7-zip to open/sign the apks and either gimp or fireworks for the image editing.

A quick question. I am usually pretty resourceful and figure things out, but this has been annoying me forever.

This is the view of the gallery, obviously, with a bunch of black icons/pngs. How am I supposed to pick the right one? Whenever I am to select a black icon for Simifolder, Appsorganizer or just for the dock or homescreen in Launcherpro, this is what I face.

Are there any better gallery apps out there, that has better support for transparency? Or any tips & tricks that you use, because I am sure many of you have experienced this.

Any help appreciated.

Bad Looking Gradients

Does anyone know why wallpapers with gradients look so bad, and how to fix it?

For example, I can add any wallpaper, either a really huge one or properly scaled, either 300dpi or 72dpi, and every time, there are lines in the gradients.

It looks like a topographic map

----

OK. I found that adding noise to it in Photoshop or Gimp helps a bit. I guess with some experimenting with levels, I can find something that doesn't look too bad.

nevermind this post then.

Hi,

Im newb to Android.

I've got Samsung Spica.

Running on 2.2.1 Android, 2.6.29.6, CyanogenMod 6.1.1-Spica-Alpha8.3.

I'd like to use a custom theme (actually this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11760329#post11760329 - Red Remix).

Installation process looks easy, but... When I want to install .apk theme, it shows me a parsing error. And it doesn't happen only in this theme, but in all .apk themes.

I don't have problem installing .apk apps...

Is this because of Alpha-Version mod?

Technical Photoshop question :

Which resolution should I use to get a multicolor wallpaper with a single color for each screen.

Ex : blue part of the wallpaper -> slide right -> green part of the wallpaper, etc.

Of course, it would be linked to the number of screens. Let's say 7.

I know there is a live wallpaper for this but still wallpaper allows a faster device all together...:)
[Android Themes] randommandan:
hmmmm not sure? might not be possible as i think the wallpaper for each screen overlaps? so if its blue on one screen, when you swipe you'll end up with part blue part green?

Apk manager never works. =(

I get a booted but unusable phone (endless forces closes) whenever I use apk manager 4.9 to edit framework-res.apk. Even if I just decompile, recompile, sign and push; without making any changes, it still doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

I pull the framework-res, Decompile APK (9), make no changes at all, Compile APK(11), "Yes" to System APK, "Yes" to copy over additional files (I've tried "no" here too), delete nothing from the 'keep' folder (because I've changed nothing), Sign APK(16) , push to phone, cp to /system/framework. It boots, but force closes like crazy.

I've made no changes yet it's broken. How?

I've had the same problem before. I had to use my desktop instead of my laptop for the same reason. A reason I don't understand, but my laptop corrupts Linux code and my desktop does not. Wish I could work on my laptop and I do I just can't edit XML and compile on it. Hope that explanation helps.
[Android Themes] Edubyah:
Before Gingerbread I would edit my styles.xml exactly the way you have it here. What color do you want? On the bottom line of "TextAppearance.WidgetIconMenu.Item" you can change "textColor" from @color/bright_foreground_dark to any color by replacing with color code ex. ffffffff for white ff000000 for black. The second thing "theme.ExpandedMenu" is a bit tricky but black or white is easily done by adding or deleting "inverse" after "?textappearancelarge". Hope this helps.

[Android Themes] Hjbotha:
Hi guys,

I've recently started doing some custom themeing and am still figuring things out.

Where would I change the text style of the notification event count indicator?

For example, if there are 5 new tweets waiting for me, the twitter icon will have a little red circle with the number 5 in it. I've resized the ic_notification_overlay image, but now the text is a little too big for it.

Also, can you alter the positioning of the picture and text?

I'm using CM7 recent nightly on HTC Desire.

Thanks
[Android Themes] david1171:
The style for that text would most likely be in either SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk, it probably doesn't have a single style for it, so if you find the style for it, it would probably edit other things system wide.

You should be able to alter the picture and text by editing the guidelines of the .9.png file.
[Android Themes] cyanide911:
I'm kind of new to the Android scene, and I have to say, the theming part is really confusing me.

Can someone lay it out for me, that what all options does one have for applying themes to their Android OS? I know one of them is the CM7 theming system. I can see a lot of themes for that. Unfortunately (unofficial) CM7 for my device is kind of crude right now.

Besides that, I don't see too many themes, and which I do, they're quite confusing as in what theming engine they use.

Any help?
[Android Themes] david1171:
Themes that aren't made for the theme engine are usually flashed in recovery on top of the ROM you are using. They must be made from the ROM you are using to work properly. The other method is if the creator of the theme made a morph file to be applied with Metamorph (which basically takes a copy of the .apk from your phone, applies the modified files, then pushes it back to your phone). It is not as reliable as flashing.
[Android Themes] cyanide911:
Okay thanks! But I can't see any Metamorph thread. Is there a thread which indexes all the metamorph themes? I can see similar threads for Miui,CM7 theming and T Mobile Theming.
[Android Themes] david1171:
I'm not aware of many of them, some of the morph files get so that they don't work well with certain ROM, especially a lot of them that were made for froyo and a lot of images got moved or renamed for gingerbread.

That`s easy (if you are not on a Sense ROM), just change the following in styles.xml:

<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">

<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>

<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>

<item name="background">@null</item>

<item name="itemTextAppearance">?textAppearanceLargeInverse</item>

to

<style name="Theme.ExpandedMenu" parent="@style/Theme">

<item name="listViewStyle">@style/Widget.ListView.Menu</item>

<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>

<item name="background">@null</item>

<item name="itemTextAppearance">?textAppearanceLarge</item>

The following is more a matter of taste, but I don`t like the bright dividers for the Menu in your Screen, you can change them here in styles.xml:

<style name="Theme.IconMenu" parent="@style/Theme">

<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>

<item name="background">@null</item>

<item name="itemTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item</item>

<item name="horizontalDivider">@drawable/divider_horizontal_bright</item>

<item name="verticalDivider">@drawable/divider_vertical_bright</item>

<item name="itemBackground">@drawable/menu_selector</item>

<item name="itemIconDisabledAlpha">?disabledAlpha</item>

<item name="moreIcon">@drawable/ic_menu_more</item>

to:

<style name="Theme.IconMenu" parent="@style/Theme">

<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.OptionsPanel</item>

<item name="background">@null</item>

<item name="itemTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item</item>

<item name="horizontalDivider">@drawable/divider_horizontal_dark</item>

<item name="verticalDivider">@drawable/divider_vertical_dark</item>

<item name="itemBackground">@drawable/menu_selector</item>

<item name="itemIconDisabledAlpha">?disabledAlpha</item>

[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
Pull down menu needs to be adjusted in systemui - first you need to enable transparency support in StatusBarService.smali.

Replace

.line 1531

const/4 v5, 0x2

with

.line 1531

const/4 v5, -0x3

Then there are several ways to final transparency - either you change this line in drawables.xml (in values folder):

<item type="drawable" name="list_item_background">#ffffffff</item>

to

<item type="drawable" name="list_item_background">#77000000</item> 0r <item type="drawable" name="list_item_background">#88000000</item> (depends on the transparency grade you need, first 2 values are for alpha channel)

or you redirect the background from list_item_background to a png in layout xmls with

android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"

and then use a semi transparent statusbar_background.png

Just keep in mind, that you need to do this for notification pulldown AND quicksettings. Just add

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

in quicksettings.xml, then you will only see your defined background from above.
