wierd have no idea what the problem is ill upload a version with contacts.apk upgrade and hopefully that one works
[Android Themes] CHUHwant:
I was having the same problem too, then i excluded it in advanced task manager from the "kill all" function and it took care of it mostly. it stays in sync about 98% of the time like binary said.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
3.2 version will just update the contacts.apk using it currently hope this upload went ok
[Android Themes] masterjedidan:
I installed it and I'm still getting the same results, even after several attempts. I also let the phone try to boot up for at least 20 minutes and it never got anywhere. It seems as though this is a recurring error in this theme (posts on this thread), any ideas about what might have introduced it when it first started happening?
[Android Themes] randomperson2:
It's too bad the theme is still acting up for some people. I tried and tried again to get it to work, but I've decided to keep with my own custom theme. I'll check back when it's working again.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
You can try mine. It's pretty similar and I don't hear anyone having issues with my version. (crossing fingers while knocking on wood with a four leaf clover in shirt pocket)

Metamorph Project Experimental

I am working an a Meta-Morph version. Test it out here:

METAMORPH BETA PROJECT!

Please make sure to make a nandroid backup prior to testing. Thanks.

I made it based on the Stericson lockscreen version of my theme. I'm not sure how it will work with the standard lockscreen. Please report back.
[Android Themes] lowlife546:
ive been runnin nabzilla's 3.1 update and works fine on my phone. not sure why so many are having problems.:confused:
[Android Themes] axi0m:
Agreed. I have no problems with either 3.1 or 3.2.

It bears mentioning that I *always* re-flash CM, boot up fully, and *then* flash the theme. Maybe people aren't doing that?
[Android Themes] _nobody:
tried that... i also tried reflashing CM and 3.2 without a reboot, no dice. binary works great, but i do prefer the hero battery icon and other small difference. is root backup a good tool? i may try to wipe and do a clean install, i just dont want to lose all my settings and personalized ringtones.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
It is possible that SOMEHOW the theme is putting some people over on their /system/ partition? Perhaps the reason that some can install it and others can't would be because some have the Danger SPL and others don't? I can't think of a reason otherwise. Perhaps it's because of some of the extra apps that Nabzilla1990 adds to his theme that your phone doesn't agree with. I dunno. I'm just spitting out theories here.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
yeah thats probly what it is i have the danger spl myself ill release a light version the only reason i include apps is so i dont have to always install them after a wipe
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
perhaps do a seperate update.zip file with just /system/app in it. However, I'm surprised that you would even have to reinstall even after a wipe since it's all stored to your /system/sd/ directory. Just fix_permissions should correct any errors that you get.

Try doing the lite version and see if some are still having issues. Also, I haven't seen 3.2 in the updater app. Looks like you don't have as much free time as you used to. :p

Is anyone noticing the phone opening apps without any reason? I think this started when I flashed nabzilla's update for the .11.1 :S

No danger spl, no partitions in sd fyi.
[Android Themes] masterjedidan:
I haven't heard of the Danger SPL before (I use Hard SPL right now), but after looking around I think that I will follow the steps here and see if CHM works with that setup.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Wow... seriously? LOL! That's probably a good thing though.

The "Danger SPL" is what seperates the men from the boys. Almost a rite of passage for Android users. Most don't have a problem instaling it... but a few... well... end up having to buy new phones because they forgot how to read and follow instructions. It's basically a hack by Haykuro that gives your /system/ partition about 10 extra megs of additional storage capacity (borrowed from the /cache partition if I can remember correctly). This is useful to flash larger roms such as Hero or Android 2.0, etc. So if you don't have it and Nabzilla's theme pushes your /system/ over it's storage capacity it either:

won't install.

won't boot.

And this is what I think is happening. It's strange though because I was thinking that my theme was larger than his.

But you know what would help out a lot??? A freaking LOGCAT!

C'mon people. You say you love this theme and you want it to work... but I haven't seen ANY logcat files attached. Just an idea.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
ur wiping too much

1. wipe alt+s and clean system/sd

2. flash cyan 3.9.5 reboot

3. flash this theme no wipe reboot should work
[Android Themes] matthewboii:
clean system/sd?

as in delete everything manually?
[Android Themes] smeat:
I didn't do a wipe, never had to before when flashing a theme. I have too much stuff configured to justify redoing all of it for a theme.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
new update white t-mobile and better clock widget for alarm clock
[Android Themes] B-man007:
man your great!!!! thanks for putting your time into this collab
[Android Themes] poe11371:
white/black sms?

Is that white on black background for the sms? I have been waiting for someone to put that back into a bake or theme. Can anyone using this theme confirm this for me?
[Android Themes] smeat:
Are both the G1s you tried it on running Haykuro's SPL? If so, you probably want to put that as a requirement, there might be space issues with the HardSPL.
[Android Themes] gmon187:
awesome theme
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
Dude y did u get rid of the hero tabs i loved those tabs theyre my favorite feature next to the hero lock screen whidh i doubt youll put in this
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
yes all three had the new spl sorry i didnt catch that ill make a new version split into two updates one for the theme and one for htc music that should solve the problems also ill bring back the hero tabs maybe make two versions one with and one without the hero tabs
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
update again realized i had thrown framework-res.apk inside system/app that probly caused the problems with people with the old spl also brought back the heroish tabs
[Android Themes] B-man007:
xD

thanks, i dont want to have to update my spl for a simple theme haha

else i would be running rosie :D

And the last update bootlooped me because of the htc music, thanks for fixing it (atleast i think, Unable to find resources.apsc , which i had a problem with on android + ) I will nandroid before just in case
[Android Themes] rl2000:
I love this theme, I'm waiting for you update to .6 before I update :)

In .4 I foudn that text in the notification bar was still black while it's downloading, I don't know if you fixed that so I just thought I would mention it.

It's the best theme, even if you won't take credit I say thanks to you and all the people who made this theme possible :)
[Android Themes] rl2000:
Btw, if you want you own subdomain you can upload these images to, just PM me, I have a server on a 100MB connection here in Denmark.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
done with 3.9.6 just need new framework.jar from beagz so the htc music will work
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
thanks if you can take the pics i have posted and upload em to ur server so i can post them on the first page of the thread
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
update beta 3.9.6 alot of problems

1. t-mobile is black again

2. lockscreen battery is missing kinda looks better without the battery and cyan says it saves battery so im not sure if i should fix that

3. no htc music

4. boot screen is just white like the flashlight app have no idea whats causing it will post in a few minutes
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
new update added htc music thanks to beagz the other problems still exist
[Android Themes] rl2000:
I will do that tomorrow when im at work!
[Android Themes] david1171:
i noticed this as well when i ported a theme over. in the logcat there is a stream of messages reading "W/ResourceType( 1369): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x7f030000" with this last number varying some. i wonder if it is something in the boot screen files in framework-res.apk/assests/images is not compatible with the new release, even though it still show the blue android on a non-themed version of this.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
android.policy.jar problem maybe?

did you clear dalvik-cache?
[Android Themes] masterjedidan:
I cleared the dalvik-cache, rebooted, and then tried to install it. It wouldn't boot up again and I ran another logcat and got similar output. I'm going to go ahead and reflash everything to see if that fixes it.
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
ok sorry for the delay going to quickly just cut the extra apps outa the theme and upload it hopefully it works i dont think its the android policy cuz i use the same one as binary
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Do you use the same Settings.apk file?
[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:
yes sir same everything just edited
[Android Themes] masterjedidan:
After reflashing everything, v3.2 (normal, not lite) is working. There are a few differences in my phone though, I now have Danger SPL instead of Hard SPL and Amon_RA's recovery image v1.5.2 instead of Cyanogen's recovery image v1.4. Hopefully this will work for others who are having the same problem.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
So it was the DangerSPL (or lack of) that was preventing others from flashing???
[Android Themes] masterjedidan:
That seems to be the issue. I don't know for sure though since the output was the same when flashing the update from both recovery images.
[Android Themes] _nobody:
sorry noob question, but which one is danger spl? im using haykuro's spl is that death spl?
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
All three are the same.

Danger SPL = Death SPL = Haykuro's SPL
[Android Themes] nkchornets37:
Hard SPL

I am running Hard SPL and it just hangs at G1 Splash Screen.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Did you try the lite version?

http://fubu.googlecode.com/files/nabzihero3.2light.zip

Try that one, if successful then you will have answered our question and we (Nabzilla and I) will consider the problem to be solved. We believe that it may be due to the SPL that some are using. (Do nandroid backup prior to flashing.)
[Android Themes] ZoominDN:
I was having same issue with this theme. Just hangs on my MyTouch. The lite version works perfectly.

SPL=HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAP30000)

Radio-2.22.19.261
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
So there we have it. Anyone having issues running Nabzilla 3.2 should try restore your backup, try flashing the lite version, flashing the Danger SPLor can try flashing my version of the Community Hero Mix. If none of that works then let us know and Nabzilla and I will try to help you out the best we can.
[Android Themes] david1171:
if the theme hung on a mytouch but the lite version flashed, then i don't think it is so much an spl problem as maybe a difference in the lite version and the version the user with the mytouch was trying to install, since the mytouch already has the same /system partition size as a g1 with the 1.33.2005 spl.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
The only difference with the lite version is that it doesn't have third party apps included. Everything else is the same. I know it seems odd but almost everyone that previously announced issues with Nabzilla's CHM theme are now able to as long as these third party apps have been removed. We've yet to have anyone say that they had problems flashing the theme if they had 1.33.2005 installed.

One issue that I had come against on a couple of occasions are the annoying "Thumbs.db" files that may show up here and there in the edited .apk files. They show up at times in my versions of the theme and can add a couple of additional megs to the size which would make it unflashable for some people. So it doesn't take much.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Cyanogen 4.2.12.2

Cyanogen did it again! New ROM update: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567610

Unfortunately, I'm not able to port a new theme until much later.

Anyone want to try to see if either Nabzilla's theme or mine will work with it.

His changelog looks pretty basic and it doesn't look like it should be a problem.

If it doesn't boot then report back and I'll see if I can squeeze an update (Binary100100 CHM Version) in tonight.

CM 4.2.12.2 changelog

---- v4.2.12.2

* All locales should be displayed properly now (thanks PsychoI3oy)

* Contacts app updated to Wysie's 2.5

* Kernel update with a few bugfixes from CodeAurora, and switch back to as-iosched

* Updated translations

* Moved Work Email app to /data/app to save space on /system

* Updated scripts

If the only thing that must be updated is the Contacts.apk file then I'll be able to push out another update tonight.

EDIT:

Well... it would seem that there was no chance of it working.

In fact... I'm still working on getting the Standard Lockscreen ported over. For some reason I'm just getting stuck with a blank black screen. Very frustrating. I may even skip this build since it doesn't seem that too much is added or removed.

[Android Themes] nabzilla1990:

Stericson's Lockscreen

Post updated.

I'm trying something different in an attempt to save time and space.

Instead of making two versions without the lockscreen and two versions with the lockscreen, I'm just going to make the two without the lockscreen and provide a lockscreen update.

Let me know how it works for you.

Apologies

My apologies I am on 4.2.12.2 and have been to busy to go back to 11 and flash the lite version. Hopefully Ill get sometime on Monday to try, but I think you guys nailed the problem. Quick question, what 3rd party apps are pushing the theme size up so high? I'm wondering with those removed if I add them in seperately if I could still have the theme and the apps as well.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
It's difficult to say what third party apps were causing the problem but as long as you have a2sd then if you install them seperately they would be stored on your /system/sd/app directory instead of where they were being stored initially (/system/app).
[Android Themes] phuKKah:
Not sure if I'm the only one, but everything works fine UNTIL I install this theme.

The 2 noticable problems I have are on the home page, I can't swipe to screens to the right of the main page, and if my phone is on vibrate, it still plays the ringtone at MAX volume.

Before you say "IT'S NOT THE THEME HURR DUURR DUURR HERRR"

I have done a nandroid backup before installing, and no problems until I install, then the problems stop when I nandroid restore, so yes, it is the theme.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Wow... I can honestly say that I've never heard of any of those problems. Did you try my version?

4.2.11.1 version

4.2.12.2 version
[Android Themes] duskya:
i actually installed cyan clean with this theme and i was unable to finish my first time setup. For some reason my APN stopped working..Is this related to it being a Haykuro SPL release? I also got random crashes from calendar, home and other stuff..

If so (probably), when will the newest be released for regular SPL's?

Nice theme by the way, best one out there for me anyways.

Greets,

Dusk
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Did you try my version posted a page or two back?

Some people have trouble with Nabzilla's but can install mine.

We are thinking that it may have something to do with the SPL.
[Android Themes] pityr:
ive had the home screen issue for the last few releases, it just drops any of the right screens and makes the 1 screen just left the new home screen.

it is the theme though. I recently did a wipe, installed the defanged base and then Cyan's 12.2. All looked normal till I installed the theme and the home screens changed. It appears to the be the advanced launcher thats doing it cause I can switch back and I get the screens back.
[Android Themes] duskya:
thanks for the quick reply.

Your version definitly works for my phone, have yet to see real errors. Did get an almost crash from home while it was loading up but so far so good.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] phuKKah:
Just tried it with the same exact results... sorry :/

I'm glad I'm not the only one, so i'm not crazy xD

The problem is, I've tried with AND without advanced launcher but no change in the outcome. I wish I knew how to theme so I could strip and edit to my liking :3

Question

Anyone else have a wierd H for their data connection with this theme?

wondering if that's 3g or edge....usually it has a 3g or E icon, thanks.
[Android Themes] masr1979:
That's 3G. While on the subject of things going wrong, I get FC everytime I try to open up "ringer volume", "media volume", "phone ringtone" within the "Sound & Display" settings page. I see someone else had the same problems way back in the thread, but I couldn't find an answer. Will try binary's version later to check and see if it works ok with that.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
Theming is very easy. I'm sure there is a guide or two here in the forum. :rolleyes:

Just take a theme (or the original .zip file) and unzip it.

Take each individual apk file and unzip those (winrar works best).

Navigate through each file and look for the .png files (I wouldn't mess with the .9.png files as this will mess everything up if you tamper with them).

Replace or edit them as you feel fit.

Open up the original .apk file and replace the .png files with your edited files.

Resign the .apk files.

Replace the original .apk files with your new signed files and then zip the new theme.

Sign the new theme.

Flash the new theme.

It's a lot of work and once you do it for yourself I bet that you'll have a lot of respect for all the developers. I can usually port over my theme to a new Cyanogen release in about an hour (or less if I'm uninterrupted). And it sounds complicated and time consuming. But it's really not. Only if you want something truly original, otherwise you can always remix from several other dev's work to make your own. It's also a lot of trial and error.
[Android Themes] Nauxer:
Err, this may sound silly, but you guys did enter the setup for advanced launcher and set it back to 5 right? (Menu on Home -> More).
[Android Themes] lowlife546:
H is HSDPA or High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, sometimes called 3.5g or 3g+. It's a little faster than 3g. But i thinks he just changed the 3g icon to H in the theme. but its all good
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
He did. I don't use the H in my theme because I think that it's very misleading. If I ever have a true H in my status bar I'm going to expect a true H data connection (over 1mb each time). Until then... no H in my theme.

Binary100100 CHM Version for CM-4.2.12.2 repost

This is a duplicate post because I can't post on the front page, I don't wish to start a new thread and some people don't like reading two or three pages back. :p Anyhow... since there are a few people that are having issues installing and/or using Nabzilla1990's theme, I offer the option to use my version as an alternative.

Here is my version of the Community Hero Mix. This is not the official Nabzilla release. Always do a backup before doing any modifications to your device!

You will see the theme.theme in framework. Don't worry. It won't hurt your theme. This is for the Cyanogen Updater app (edit: finished uploading to updater app @ 2055 1/4/10).

Enjoy!

I added:

Market 1660 (not fully themed)

Contacts.apk from Eclair thanks to ChainsDD and Wysie (added a little theme to it)
