This thread has been quiet, has anyone found any other issues? If nothing else pops up before tomorrow i will build the other 3 versions and release them.

::a sneaky bump!:: =)

When the phone is in call mode the android head (menu) is stretched out
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Actually more space isn't taken up if you dont resign them. You just need to be aware of how much you increase the size of each apk. If you increase it too much, some users, while not all, will start ending up with looped phones.

Any reason this would cause touch screen accuracy problems? I was having problems with pressing the correct menu items or buttons. I reloaded 1.41 RC30 and the problem went away.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Great job! Looks neat and clean. No problems that I can tell. Now I just need to find a splash screen to match. :p

But I do have a question for ya. Your screenshots have a couple of different wallpapers. How do I change it to them?

Until I figure that out I found this one that I'm pretty happy with.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I made a few changes last night that kind of screwed up a few of the buttons and what not. I am going to tweak those and make a final release hopefully today. As soon as i get to work i will work on these, hopefully there aren't any network errors or user problems when i get there. If so it will delay the release until tomorrow...Heroes is on tonight =)

I am not sure if i can fix that, its one of the .9.png files and when you change them they get messed up like that. but i think it looks better then the gray launcher button. i do have an idea that i am going to try. Hopefully it will stretch properly.

Yeah i have noticed some weird effects with different themes. Have you heard about anyone having problems connecting to 2G networks after using any theme? I had a problem until i went into Toggle Settings and turned on use 2G networks. Before that it was either 3G or no connection, now i see EDGE if 3G is not in range. Also battery life seemed to go down again. Can themes be causing these issues?

I am not sure, i haven't noticed any problems like that. Normally if a theme causes any problems i flash RC30 1.41 then the theme again, it seems to take care of any issues. I am wondering if it has to do with another theme causing issues?

Thanks, let me know which one you end up using. The first post has a couple of the wallpapers i made. Also there is one set as the default wallpaper. You just have to go into the wallpaper gallery.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Just made some changes, mostly notifications and some icons.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TheDudeOfLife:
For the record I had the exact same issue on another theme. Looks like my phone's touch screen may be tanking.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Well in a way thats good news for my theme, but sucks for you. Thankfully TMobile is very good about replacing phones under the mfg warranty =)

In case anyone is interested, I am uploading the ADP1.1 version as i type this. RC8 will be uploaded tomorrow.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] davidhooper4:
The ADP1.1 does not work i got stuck at the green android screen and it keeps going over and over
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
did you go from a different theme to mine? if so could you try installing a fresh ADP1.1 then try my theme again. This way it saves me from having to switch to ADP1.1 and wiping .

I'd appreciate it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] savethechicken:
I went from a Different Theme to yours and im having the same problem so when I get home and get my other Memory card I will Trying loading from a fresh ADP1.1 load.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Turboed240:
I tried applying the theme. It updated normally. When the phone reset, it now hangs at the G1 screen. Ive tried wiping it with no avail. Still hanging at the G1 screen. Anyone help? Was running RC30 and yes it was rooted.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Did you install the ADP1.1 or the RC30 version?

Ok let me know if that helps. If not i will take the link down and try to test it myself.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Turboed240:
The RC30 version. I have tried anything. This sucker is locked up tighter than a drum. New phone is on the way. lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kay11224:
i like da way it looks is dere any way dat u can make this theme in red,
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TheDudeOfLife:
1. Updated JFv1.41 RC30 > ADP1 = Success

2. Applied APD1 fadetoblue = fail (i kinda figured with the messy upgrade path)

3. Wiped Unit

4. Fresh JFv1.41 ADP1

5. Applied ADP1 fadetoblue = made it to the 'blinking android' screen. Then the phone just loops on that screen.

Going to reload ADP1 now.

Weird...I went ahead and used my nandroid backup. This ADP1.1 update does work with RC30 heh.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] I7oobie:
What? Was that even english?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] incudie:
I can second that the theme does not work with the JK 1.4 ADP software.

Loops on Android boot up screen
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I just did an update to the ADP1.1 version, can someone test it for me.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] davidhooper4:
flashed jf adp1.1 and then your theme gets stuch at the boot image
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
damn, im gonna have to install ADP1.1. Thanks for everyone's help. I appreciate it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Luca_Dream:
excellente

Excellent theme, the only I thing I don't like is the music icon, personally I think it is big and bulky, but maybe that's just me. Also I would love to see a custom icon for the Video Player app from the market.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I uploaded a new ADP1.1, I am trying my best not to install ADP1.1 on my phone.

Hopefully i figured this out. I have only copied the PNGs and none of the XMLs, but only for framework-res,Launcher,Contacts and Phone.

If this version works then i will do the rest of the apks.

Let me know how it goes

:::crosses fingers:::
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
So i broke down installed ADP1.1 and did a wipe. Installed the FadetoBlue on it and everything worked fine. Let me know if you have any issues installing this on ADP1.1.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] incudie:
Mmm no luck with the ADP 1.1 theme.

Wiped my device and ran update.zip.

Was on JF 1.4 ADP 1.1

Changing to JF 1.4 RC30 and will try your RC30 edition.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Can you try installing the theme then doing a wipe...i had to do that the first time. Plus i noticed it took a few mins for the Android to come up and then a couple mins for the homescreen to pop up. but once i did the wipe with with the theme installed it worked fine. I ended up putting ADP1.1 back on and flashing the theme again which worked fine for me.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bettasplash:
Not working for me did a wipe and it's sitting on the android screen and wont load.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Did you let it sit for awhile? Cause i know the first time i let it run it took a bit. I don't understand why no one else can get this running? i did it first shot with the newest build. I had to wipe because i went from RC30 to ADP1.1 I installed the theme and it took awhile to load but finally did, then when i went into the dialer it would force close, so i did another wipe and my theme was up and running perfectly.

hopefully this information can help others get it running.

Basically i downloaded Stericson's original ADP1.1 theme file and imported only the PNGs files and then signed it. I am pretty sure that is how you make the different versions. If i am wrong please lead me in the right direction.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
hey man great theme, i swapped clocks tho, kinda was diggin my hp mini clock, so i switched it in and changed your landscape menu tab to match the portrait....

keep em comin!! like to put my personal touch to themes and create my own, but im waiting to see what this update situation will change or not change..

and why not, just to show the clock off my mini hp...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
I am re-uploading a new adp1.1 default theme. Please redownload it and use that to build your theme

this release ensures that a clean install of a theme will happen by formatting /system/app before installing. this way nothing is left over from prior themes

I have tested this version and can confirm it works, a second and thrid confirmation would be appreciated.

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Not really a big deal however in your most recent pics your txt msg icon in the upper left corner is blue yet mine with your most recent update is still standard (white) for RC30. I know it updated because the "android" picture on phone mode (or whatever the term is) is not stretched out like it used to be.

Did my phone not update that specific icon or did you leave it out of your most recent update?

Like I said... not a big deal but just out of curiousity.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I downloaded the file from the first post and ran the update, my text msg icon comes up blue. I will try reverting back to RC30 original and doing the update again. I'll let you know if i missed it.

So i reverted back to RC30 v1.41 with the original theme and then installed the file from the first post and my Txt Msg icon is blue. You are talking about the one on the top of the status bar right? if so you are using an older version.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Uhhhh.... I think I just pulled a rookie. I had an alert app running instead of my message alert (which was disabled). My bad. Sorry about that.

So... about that RC33 update... :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Ahh good to know...

Uhh the RC33 update just failed for me. I am working on it so hopefully i'll have it out soon. =)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] andrews240:
Will Fade to Blue need to be updated to work with RC33? I'm a little apprehensive about installing v.99 on it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Yes i am will be updating, do not install the RC30 version on to RC33, you will have errors.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] andrews240:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will be patient. Love the theme by the way :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Well aftr testing with Stericson, he got the Original theme to work fine, but when i tried to bring my images over to RC33 it would sit at a loop on the first screen. So i will test tomorrow and try to figure out how to get FadetoBlue to RC33.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
So... any luck?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Not yet, i might have to build part f it from scratch. I am not sure yet though. I should have some sort of update by tomorrow.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ripsphone:
I love this theme. Hope you get it up and running on RC33 soon.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Well i played with the theme for about an hour today, which is a pretty long time for just dragging and dropping images. But anytime i bring files over from FadetoBlue to RC33, i get stuck at the first boot screen.

So unfortunately i will have to rebuild the theme in RC33. which is good and bad...the good part is there are a few parts of the theme i didn't like. Now i get to fix them, the bad part is tweaking the images takes a lot of time from my girl and son. I will do my best to try and put some time into this theme and have it out as soon as i can. I hope it will be only a few days.

Another good thing is my boss is on vacation starting Monday so a couple projects i was working on with him are going to be delayed. So i should have some time during work to tweak images.

If anyone has any suggestions for changes, now is the best time to let me know. I will be re-reading the 11 pages in this thread to find some suggestions, but feel free to post them again..just in case i skip over one or two =)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ROGUE7474:
In my opinion, this is the best theme by far. Just a couple of tweaks for me would be cool. I'm having trouble seeing the icons on the top nav bar, They kinda blend into it with all the blue. A little contrast or lighter background would help me. I don't know if I just can't see it, but I can't tell when my Bluetooth is connected. I don't see a difference in the icon. Another cool idea would be the pic of the record in the Music App. If you could make it look something like the clock face. Even without these minor changes, this theme is awesome.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
i understand you need to give your girl and kid some time too, but i really love this theme and waited as long as i could before upgrading to RC33, please don't make me keep the sticker thime for very long(no offense to the author of that theme, it is very well put together and looks good, but i prefer the calming effect of the blue). i hope you can get it out the door as soon as possible, as a minor tweak, there was a wallpaper that i had saved to my SD card but i lost it, but it was a black background and had some electric blue lines squiggling out of the top left corner and bottom right, i have seen it a few times on the site but in different colors, but it would and did look great as a background. please add it to your backgrounds included in the theme. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME THEME and all the work you have put into it. you are very dedicated and i really appreciate that.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] d3rrty1:
would you be able to re-pack it with jdwme's rc33 lite? (with his permission of course :p)

would that give enough space and possibly free you from errors?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kron2:
jdwme made a light jfrc33 it is the same update jf made just removed some of the ringtones and notification sounds so there is room for themes . you would install his update first then install the theme .damnitpud try installing jdwme light jfrc33 first then your theme i think it will work .
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
So i figured out how to port FadetoBlue to RC33 without the help of the Lite version! Its all about the compression! What a pain in the arse to get it done, took almost 4 hours to convert all of the images! ouch am i tired now!

There are a few bugs from the conversion but nothing to bad i don't think. I will work on those images and update the new apks in the next day or so!

RC33 *****es!!!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bigzae:
good looking theme im bout to dl it now.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
THANK YOU!!!! i just upgraded to RC33 today and i get to keep my favorite theme, i owe you so much right now, thank you thank you thank you, it is installing right now and i will certainly let you know if i notice any bugs

----------------------

ok, right off the bat i notice a few things, first and foremost in my opinion is the wallpaper did not appear on the boot, this was a clean flash so it should have worked unless you removed it, i booted and saw the original t-mo wallpaper but bluer. second thing i noticed is some of the buttons, like the bottom three on an email in Gmail have a white background around them rather than the black in the RC30 theme. i kinda miss the icons for myfaves, had the black background on itself, and linda file manager, looked like the windows explorer for mac. also the contacts icon has an annoying white box around it, a custom icon should fix that, but since i haven't started themeing yet i wouldn't know. other than those few things which i'm sure you already noticed i have no problems yet, but i will let you know if more are discovered
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
YESSSS!!!!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Hmm i might have missed the wallpaper, it is listed in wallpapers though - noted! Just found the issue here...i saved the original jpg as a png.

The buttons i noticed right away, i even know what caused it, so those will be fixed tomorrow. For the other theme devs the white background is what happens with PNG-8...doesn't have transparency. Same with the Contacts icon.

Not sure what Linda file manager is and i don't know what Mac icon you mean either. Did you have the modified fadteblue?

Thanks for the feed back...helps me build a checklist to follow =)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
the file manager icon might have been a leftover from another theme i had installed a while back then, i will see if i can't find the icon and throw it in myself. i kinda liked it cause it was blue. thanks for a great theme and your dedication to our site, now get some sleep, it's almost 4 in the morning for you
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
If it was a wrench and screwdriver with a blue handle it was the settings icon...but i dont think your talking about that one...plus the file manager is a 3rd party no?

Hey No Problem...i am happy to not have the default theme now! =) and i am about to crash right now...enjoy!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] topdnbass:
Thankyou for a great theme!

I personally didn't like the contacts icon because their is white around it where it should be transparent.

SO I took the original contacts img and played around with it a bit.

Made it blue and black instead of yellow and white.

So it goes perfectly with the theme.

I've attached the image if anyone else wants to use it.

I've also attached the update.zip signed and ready to go.

MD5:

FAD3C95D971F7886B4A307ABC7BBDDBE update.zip
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ripsphone:
Thank you so much for taking the time to update this theme! I was using it before the update and was worried it wasn't going to get updated!

Thanks again
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
yes the file manager is a third party app from the market, but somehow i ended up with a custom icon before, it might have happened because i just install themes over the top of one anther and anything that doesn't get over written stays the way it was, but this is what my file manager icon looked like before top right icon

and this is what it is now, bottom right icon since it is in landscape

i think the only way for you to edit the icon is for you to include linda file manager in your theme, which is a great program, and then edit the icon. it doesn't bug me too much, in fact i think i figured out where the icon came from and once i figure out how to resign packages in ubuntu i will try to theme some myself.

on that note would you mind if i edit your theme for my personal use and add my apks to it?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TheMasterBaron:
The bluetooth icon in the notification bar also has white around it.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Yeah my RC30 version i didn't include any apks i didn't change, thats why my old version was almost half the size of everyone else's. But i spoke with Stericson about it and he said the new theme will format the system so i will have to include all of the apks. thats why you had some icons from other themes. Also signing the update.zip in Ubuntu is the same command as in windows, Java doesn't change from platform to platform...just make sure you install JDK and JRE in ubuntu. Do a search for both in the package manager.

Sure you can change my theme how ever you like, can even release it in the forums...just make sure its posted as modified fadetoblue. don't want people to get confused between the 2 and start asking us about the others icons =)

Thanks noted. I am actually going to change the icon i think. watch for the next release within the next day or so.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] TheMasterBaron:
No, thank you for your hard work!

I also noticed the unlock pattern circles also have the white border.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] CDRacingZX6R:
I just updated to the new RC33, and put in your new compatible theme. Worked perfectly. Still my favorite theme.

Only thing that I liked better about a previous version is when you left some of the indicators different colors. Like SMS notification was white, Alarm was more of the regular looking color.

Not the end of the world, but sometimes it's hard to see the notices at the time when you have the screen dimmed now that everything is blue. Plus I liked some of the white on blue.

But it's still the best theme. Thanks for the hard work.

Edited: Never mind, your theme didnt change anything. I did a wipe, and forgot that SMS popup used it's on notification indicatior. Thanks again for the hard work, looks great!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
love this theme... i make themes as well, i edited your clock, as i did in rc30... but now its for the rc33 version... i also made the landscape icons the same as the portrait...

check it out... took the clock off of windows 7

i can attach an update.zip if anyone wants it, pm me or ill just add it on later

Download: http://qctx.org/dl/download.php?id=5120A3F51

all props to the creator, posted per request
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ultra spikey:
I just installed this theme...2 things I noticed immediately, I get these ugly white rings around the circles in the unlock screen. And I don't think you should compress the clock png as much, it doesnt look very crisp or sharp.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rickymello:
my favorite theme. only thing i dont like is the contacts icon. the white around it isnt very smooth. but other than that its great!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] andrews240:
I will wait patiently for the fixed one tomorrow, or whenever you get it ready. I'm patient. Keep up the good work, Fade to Blue is the best Android theme out there by far.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
Hey i updated RC33, changes are on the first post...

And i wanted thank everyone for the compliments on FadetoBlue..I am glad so many like it. I made this theme for myself at first and wasn't sure anyone would like it...but because of the response to it, i work harder to get it polished. So thank you!

Well messing with it yesterday i noticed a few things i want to change. If i get as much free time as i think i will be getting...i am going to release a v2, after this version has a 1.0 =). There are a few things i just threw into this theme to finish it and i learned a lot more about .9.pngs (buttons and what not)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
hey can u elaborate about what u learned with the .9 pngs? ive been creating themes and editing them... but i wasnt sure about the .9 pngs, seeing as you seem to have a general idea about them enough to modify them, thought u could direct me on your path.... wanna get my skills together for this theme contest, if im "ready" in time... cus ill get blown out the water (u guys have good ideas and concepts, i jsut cant put mine to pen n paper)

u can pm me if u wanted or wud prefer, doesnt matter i check this thread enough
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] alapapa:
thx for the update.

FYI, RC33's md5sum needs updating in the OP
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ripsphone:
Could you change the little "menu" slider in landscape to the same Android you use in portrait?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] damnitpud:
I am not claiming to completely understand these files, but i have edited quite a few of them and they came out looking decent. i attached 2 pics of the buttons i changed. I am going to work on the other .9.pngs and see if i can edit those also without messing them up.

But basically as an example i'll use the buttons that i changed. I used the rectangle marquee tool with 3 px feathering. You do not want to zoom in more then 800% in navigator. Make sure when you highlight it you are atleast 2 px from the corner. I attached am image of the button highlighted with the marquee tool in Photoshop.

From what i read the .9 guides are removed when you compile the source, so editing the .9s in the draw9patch tool works only when you build from source.

I am not claiming to have any secrets that anyone doesn't, its just something i noticed when editing the files in my theme. Its not an exact science and some images still look weird. But i am more comfortable editing these files then i was 2 weeks ago. I hope this makes sense and helps anyone else understand editing these files.

Thanks for the reminder =)
