I understand every bit of what you're trying to do. As of right now its obvious that a complete reboot to install the update.zip may be needed to install each skin, but I wonder if you can just do a reboot without an update to rewrite over the previous files then the new files would load a different skin. It shouldn't be so hard since the G1 is like any other cpu or OS platform right!? Keep trying you're getting close to it "Lad!" I'm sure there are more people out there in the world that are willing to give you a helping hand in the process of making this all work out. =)

Idea

What if you just created something that asks which theme you want to use. It then opens something like a file manager with a theme directory list

/themes

-->/theme1

-->/theme2

-->/etc

you choose the theme you want. It asks if you want to backup your current update.zip and then copies the update.zip from the theme folder selected to /sdcard and then reboots and applies the update.

Is that possible. Or even if it just reboots and then you press the power + home key when it restarts and then !!! you have applied the new theme. This would allow you to add/remove themes as you see fit.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] beagz:
OK, here you go

Here is a script for gscript to automate theme switching!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=486486

echo "boot-recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:themes/aero/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery

I have all my themes located in /sdcard/themes and a folder with the name. So all you have to do is write scripts for each theme and just place a shortcut on the desktop. With bettercut you could make the icon very representative of the theme.

I guess we'll have to keep searching and testing things until we can get it all together...........

well, I thought this would help until someone can find a way without doing a reboot.

Until then, this was the easiest method I could find.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] shaneaus:
It sounds as if ya'll are trying to get this working without a reboot.

I wish I could offer some advice.

However, I can tell you that I like the idea of an app that one could open, choose between of list of themes that one had downloaded. select that theme and have the app do the following:

copy the current update.zip file to a designated location

copy the theme file and rename it to "update.zip"

reboot the phone to apply the theme

delete the theme update.zip file

paste the former (OS) update.zip file to put the phone back the way it was.

I don't mind the reboot. It might be a hassle when trying out a lot of different themes... But, I think most people would only save their favorites and just change them occasionally. For that purpose rebooting would not be a hassle.

Thanks for all of your hard work. I wish I had the time to teach myself how to develop apps. But, I work 64 hours a week and spend the remaining time with my wife and two kids (who don't appreciate my working so much in the first place). If I were to spend a lot of time on the computer I would catch He77!

hmm why not take the source for from the open home and just take the part of the source that changes the the theme combine it with the regular home source in some way shape or form then make it jf rc33 1.44 and post it here on xda and then just have it take the theme off of the market like open home or perhaps some 3rd party theme market called xda market or something

and boom you have theme that are easy to use and install and everything

...

what i tried now ...

is to symlink the whole framework-res.apk by putting a symlink into the update zip and by

making one (after an update) in the recovery console

both didnt work/boot ...

i tried to copy a new framework-res into /system/framework ...(on a runing system)

in my first attempted i just cp the file ... but nothing changed

(i noticed that by checking the md5sum) so i tried to deleted it and it told me it was read only ..

then again but this time deleting the old one by making the filesystem read/write

then switching to homescreen and it didn't crash .... !!!

but the only thing that worked was that when i connect to usb, the small usb icon in the tray has the new icon !

but the app list is broken ... there are no more icons (all are the standard i-don't-know-what-to-show-icon)

and have titles like "...", "copy", "kopieren", ... they still works thou

if you go into landscape mode (in the homescreen) the little gray-tab (for the app list) is at the bottom

if you try to reboot now you will fail ....

the only think that worked is the file size and time-of-last-change

the size shouldn't matter ... but i am not able to change the time-of-last-change with touch

because the touch in the busybox is just not capable of that ...

i still don't know why the phone stops booting ...

what causes the problem at booting what is checked ?

is there any way to have it in text mode while booting or read a log after that fail-boot

and when i go into recovery mode and directly enter the console the /data folder is empty!?

only after i apply a update the folder is filled

how does the update process work? does it just copy the files ? or does it write some meta info after that ?

i am a little out of ideas...

lad

ps the app part should be hard at all ... i haven't done any app yet ... but know i java and stuff ^^ .. i am just trying to make it possible to change images at the runing system ...

pps

echo "boot-recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:themes/aero/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery

is still cool thou ^^
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] lad1337:
why?

then you could just use open home, that would be easier!

the point is that we/i want only one app that changes the theme ... without replacing the standard home or reinstalling the system...

the app still may need to update (install a theme) once ... if the symlink thing works

after that you may change any image on the fly

lad

ps what is the name of the homescreen app? ... i want to kill it and then start it again

pps i don't think the "part of the source that changes the theme" can be copied into the

standard home app... is it even open source?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] roguestatuskat:
because i dont like having 4 empty ass tabs
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] lad1337:
why are the themes actually incompatible to other versions of the system ?

and shouldn't it be easy to change them to work with another version

Hi XDA Devs,

my original Diamond Keyboards are broken, after the installation of the Touch Diamond2 Keyboard.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahanist:
I've installed the Korean Rom as there are features that I need (such as language, etc).

However, they did some funky stuff with the text/SMS feature.

Now, I cannot create sms directly from contact list (where you can select sms option along with voice calls, etc).

Also, now I have to open up this special app to send/receive sms.

I haven't tried yet but I don't think message notification will not work either.

So, my question is, I think the original native SMS app is hidden (I hope).

Is there a way to check if it's still inside this ROM, and enable it?

If indeed the original app is gone, is there a way to add it on this ROM?

I'm pretty noob when it comes to WM.

Please help.

Thanks.

I tried searching, found this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.

My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.

Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs .. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
There is a way.

run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
[General Questions and Answers] anagarika:
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.

Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?

I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!

Last question:

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

This theme is called minimalDroid or mDroid for short.

It's very minimal but there is A LOT of customization.

I only changed a few icons, the ones I use most frequently, and they match the rest of the icons as well.

In the preview the notification text is black, I fixed that and its now white.

There are two wallpapers included with the theme, the one in the preview and a orangey vector thing. They can both be found in the wallpaper gallery.

I'd really like feedback because this is a new style of work for me.

this makes me want to ask my question even more...hehe..

so for the BUUF theme I had to put jf rc33 LITE on my phone to use it, because this same error happened (hanging on the g1 logo)

so this needs to be asked! Is this made for jf rc33, or the LITE version...? which would be a likely reason as to why it hangs on G1 boot screen for some..

that clears things up, this is for regular (non-lite) jf rc33..

^-^' (I know, whine whine...)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] crys|s:
No, it's not for any specific version of RC33. The only difference between lite and normal is that the sounds have been removed. I highly reccomend you have at least 15mb of onboard storage before installing. Because of the heavy customization the file is 12.3mb. I will make a fix when I get home. Thanks for your patience and I apologize for any inconvenience.

1) You're going to have to shut the phone off the hard way: remove the battery.

2) Since you don't have the engineering bootloader, you're going to have to wipe your phone. Put the battery back in, hold down home, and press power. After that, hit Alt+W.
