Someone suggested this earlier and I have to agree, if we had a subforum for Themes, we could create individual threads. It would be easier to find the screenshots, zips for the changes, and for developers to respond to people's questions. All updates could be applied to the first post or couple of posts very easily. I have seen some that have created there own theme threads which will allow for this. They just aren't grouped together.

However, to be honest, I'm not sure the kind of time and work this creates for xda mods and understand if it is too hard to do. It would eliminate the problems and concerns some people have had.

I personally am happy to have something vs nothing and appreciate was Godzon, Tim, and others have done to help keep the knowledge and themes. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
None of us wants tension, no one. Especially in this thread where so many of us really started to learn our way around android and getting our hands dirty (in my case, for the first time). It is going to be a serious shame if an attempt to clean up a thread ends up destroying such a valuable resource. That being said, I am also unhappy with the way things have gone over the last few days. I am not going to place blame at anyone's feet. That is pointless, and only leads to infighting. What we need to do, is figure out how to solve the issue. I, personally, am all for starting a new thread that is clean, with no clutter in the opening pages where all the work is posted. I also do not want to see THIS thread destroyed, as it is a constant source of reference for me in my own efforts. If I had my way, the two would be preserved: this one as a locked reference or archive, the other as a fresh start. But I am not in charge, and I have no say in the matter. I truly hope we can get this resolved in a manner that leaves everyone satisfied, but my main concern is keeping the knowledge flowing. We had a real sweet thing goin here, folks.....lets not spoil it just when it was getting fun!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
The thing that I thought was awesome was when several people came together to solve a problem. It was neat to watch, and neat to be a part of. It would be harder to do this if we were each just off in our own thread. Not saying impossible, just harder.

Okay I tried to quote the Matrix bootscreen post and was told I'm not allowed to do it. Dam my noobness!

Will the Matrix bootscreen run with DamageControl 2.07.2? Forgive the question, I've just had a lot of trouble with finding themes for it and have done way too many nandroid restores ... I just wanted to be sure before flashing it, because this is definitely the bootscreen I miss the most.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtphoto:
it should run fine but there is a zip folder in /system/media/ that needs to be deleted before you flash it so that it will work. just

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/media/
rm bootanimation.zip
reboot recovery

then flash like normal.

Greetings to all..

As fellowship I began this thread to help everyone out, and I will continue to do so. A week back i decided to clean it up a bit as giving an opinion here if we should clean up the whole thread and start fresh.. several people agreed and liked the idea, others didn't voice out until it was "already done". I apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding that was not intentional which caused in the thread. The intension was to keep it flowing as we progress to 2.1 and more. Tim assisted me to clean up the place as my request after I informed it for a week in the thread. As to build it stronger than before I had him re-list all older posts as everyone requested and had a conversation with Tim and friend Nebs. So at the end everyone will have their collection of knowledge and we could still have Nebs thread as second post for all your creations or redo the thread. It is alot of work that Tim has done to assist in this, and I'm greatful to him and Nebs for the colabo. I only want what the best for all of you new or not in the mod/theme game. I believe we will create better ideas as a team and move forward. Please feel free to pm me with any thoughts to implement into your (this) thread. All older post are up again and will continue to organize this thread little by little with everyones help. I appreciate everything everyone has shared and looking forward to new creations.

Thank you kindly,

Will

Lets continue and keep the fellowship and creativity alive.

Hi godson,

I installed your 2.1 taskbar with rosie and I like it, but would like to tweak the "top" bar (battery, evdo, etc) as it is hard for me to read sometimes. However, I have tried several metamorph add-ons and none of them change that bar. is there a method to revert the top bar to stock, or something else?

EDIT: NVM I got it taken care of.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GODZSON:
Re: Hero Mods for ALL your creations 1.5 and 2.1, share/help, create and post

No problen, thats why were all here.. The clear widgets would need to b ported, hopefully some1 can assist with that any takers? We wer waiting for 2.1 to b clean n bug free. Requested to Chubbz to update my theme aswell.

As informed, here is the update zip to 2.1 onyx dialer packaged by Chubbz.

Godzson_Dialer-Contacts2.1v2.zip

Who else had a 2.1 dialer, icons, widgets, etc.. please fwd to pm so I can continue updating first posts, Thank you

Thx to Zen's port of MyTouch Slide we can beginning working on new updated 2.1 apps, friendstream, news, mail (new anime), phone dialer (awsome), etc.. Link has all apps, lets try and port over the dialer, mail and friendstream which does install but may need an update zip to make it work completely cause it gets distorted once added in a page (need to change the pink). MyTouch music works perfecly, and vsuite closes by itself when clicked on after install.

P.S. If we could get the theme changer to work on the hero that would make theme changing so much easier as an apk and not an update.zip like it does with My Touch Slide

I have updated first few posts with new mods for easy find. New rotary unlock and LW with Weather Animation will continue throughout available timing..

Has anyone looked into the MyTouch Slide apps I posted? Such as friendstream, mail (new), and the theme changer which would be a PLUS for all of us to make theme changing soooo much faster (they are apk's that are installed and the personalizer gives you a view of all themes to select NICE!)

It installs on Fresh 2.0d just distorts once I try to add as widget, maybe update.zip to push it may work.

P.s.

Looking to change live wallpaper colors..? here's how-

Thx to- Banden

I'm using the Droid so I'm familiar with it; however I'm certain that it can be done for other rooted phones in a similar manner. Although the steps at first glance may seem complex... it shouldn't take too long to wrap your mind around it a bit and you'll see that it is rather simple.

For the way I did it, requires root access, adb shell (part of the developer kit) and also 7zip (7zip allows you to modify contents of a zip archive without unzipping.) I also use Root Explorer (a paid app on the phone.)

First thing I did was copy a file from the phone to my computer:

/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk

(there's quite a few ways to do this, I opted to use Root Explorer to copy the file to my sd card and then used the file manager on my computer to copy to my desktop.) You should create a copy of this file as a backup on your comp in-case you mess up :smile:

Once the apk file is on the desktop, right click > select 7zip > and "Open Archive"

So now you can take a look at all the files inside the apk. To edit them you will need to edit and save outside of the archive, and then move it into the archive replacing the original file. In the 'res' file are all of the graphics. I replaced the background with one I wanted then modified the color of the beads I followed the instructions here: http://alldroid.org/threads/16847-Ho...798#post576798

Once it's done you need to push the LiveWallpapers.apk file back and overwrite the one on the phone in the /system/app/ directory.

That's about it.

JsChiSurf, thanks for your help in creating the MetaMorph lockscreen zip! Real nice work! :D I have added my own wallpaper and am good to go except for the code below. I can't use the cmd prompt on my work PC. I have a Terminal Emulator app on my Hero. How do I make the same change below with the Terminal Emulator?

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit

I tried, what's below...but get an error about it being read only. I think I'm missing a line to make it so it isn't read only, but not sure what it is using the app. Any ideas? If not, I will try when I get home on my desktop. Thanks!

mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit

Ok, I tried this and didn't receive any messges/feedback except when I type in reboot. It gives a Not permitted message. I just restarted the phone, and then I have the messed up vanilla lockscreen with the slider at the top and bottom.

Couple questions.

1. Do I need to apply flipz vanilla lockscreen fix to get your customization to work?

2. Also, I updated the zip with my own wallpaper, and tried to do the update through Metamorph. There is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk, I applied both. It asks if I want to restart and then it just loops when I respond yes with the same pop-up over and over. I tried restarting outside metamorph, and nothing happens. Not sure what I'm doing wrong?
