Cloverdale...

Your theme is beautiful and I love the new font but I am have a very strange problem with it..

If I use WG's build or Cyon's once I flash your theme it corrupts my whole ext partition. No matter what I fix or move, once I flash the theme my internal storage goes from 53mb to 21mb and all widgets vanish.

It may just be my phone but it only happens when I flash this theme and the only way to fix it is to start all over with full wipe.

I need find a cool thing though.... I flashed your theme, then when it broke I flashed Markstheme on top.. Ended up with your fonts and icons. It looked awesome, but cant deal with no ext lol.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
This themes should not work with a WG build, and that is the only thing I can think of that would cause this. Most likely WG has some symlink that becomes broken by flashing this. When you tried it with CM, did you wipe when going from WG to CM?

I am by no means saying that my theme could not have done this, but it seems strange since this is the first report I have heard of this happening, and my theme does not mess with anything on the ext.

Does WG have some kind of symlink from the system to the cache?

Another thing to consider, when going from CM to WG and WG to CM, did you wipe and format the ext partition of your card? If not, then I am almost sure that this is the reason.

If you wipe the phone, format and repartition the card, then flash cm, I feel 99% sure you will be oky to flash te theme.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I will make it as part of my theme, but anyone can always make a simple metamorph to only apply the lockscreen, or to use it with other themes.
[Android Themes] ubergeekster:
That right there is one of the coolest statements I have read in quite some time my friend.

Great work, getting ready to root my phone and will install once I get things worked out. Having to do it all over again cause my phone grew legs, so to speak. Take it easy and good luck on your thesis.

Tnt
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Thank you. Good luck with the whole re-root process (so much easier the second time).
[Android Themes] ERK808:
Awesome new battery icon!

Lockscreen tweak. Looks even better!

I'm still fiddling around.

Great job! As always :D

One more thing...

Is there any chance you can skin the DoggCatcher widget?

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and when I want to show off your handy-work,

the DoggCatcher widget kinda detracts from your awesome looking theme.

If I were allowed to distribute doggcatcher.apk, then I would do it. The problem is that including almost any of the market apps would constitue warez. I would love to distribute this with my themed widget for meridian.

New Icon

I have been using Debian on my G1 quite a bit lately, so I made an icon to go with the theme. If anyone wants it, here it is.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I added a quick how-to make your own icons to match the theme (in the OP).
[Android Themes] Charrion:
Blue/Cyan version?

Great theme Cloverdale, easily the best in my humble opinion. I have just one, hopefully, minor request.

Is it possible to do a version of Black Lite that is Cyan toned? Kind of like the colour of the Power Widget highlights in Cyanogen's latest releases?
[Android Themes] JAWheat411:
Is it just me or are there alot of blank wallpapers? Just curious. I do like the theme though.
[Android Themes] Charrion:
Come to think of it, I noticed that too. I always use the same wallpaper though and that one was present so I didn't give it much mind.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
In regards to changing colors, I just do not have the time required right now for that. I would recommend downloading the blue effects morph and flashing it over this.

For the wallpapers, I removed most of them to do two things, 1. make more room in /system, so that metamorph will succeed more often. 2. make the launcher movement more fluid and smooth by greatly reducing its size.

You can easily change this with a quick metamorph to the launcher.
[Android Themes] Thats BS:
Tried this theme just 'cause your a fellow Oregonian. ;)

Glad I did, great color scheme and no theme lag at all. Very nice. Looking forward to the update. Great work.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Happy to see another Oregonian using my theme, and by the way, I have loved your pic from day one on here.
[Android Themes] TrOjAnUK:
I really like this theme, used it for quite a while but for some reason the last 2 versions for CM 4.2.11.1 and 4.2.12.2 both make GMail app force close.. no idea why

TrOjAn
[Android Themes] Thats BS:
LoL. Thanks.

I am beyond stoked to see more Oregonians holding it down for android! Keep up the great work!

black search bar link is not working
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I am not sure about this, all I can say is that I have had a similar experience with David1171's blackbar mod some months ago. No one had the problem but me, so it was not attributed to the theme itself, as I believe is also the case here. My problem was that I had something residual from not wiping that was causing the issue. Try to flash the HTC recovery image then CM 4.2.12.2, then my theme (try without wiping first).

There are a few of us from Oregon, but not many. We need to make it known that some of us have electricity and can use fancy machinery.

Thank you, the link is fixed.
[Android Themes] secure_6:
giving praise

jus wanted to say.. iv tried many themes... love Prash's work and Sir Mez's too.. your theme and layout is up there with the best... the lockscreen is sweet.. (could be sweeter if it was functional like stericsons) or am i missing something???

either way.. my phone is the bomb... overseas im the mack amongst the other troops :)
[Android Themes] skrki:
In theming, this is kind of a major request :D

I'm looking into it... would be really nice, so unless someone beats me to it, I'll be releasing it as soon as it's done.
[Android Themes] 808xplode:
what do you mean by this? How is amazonmp3 spyware.

I always remove it from system/app anyways, but i was just feeling inquisitive.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
It makes me fell really good to hear such complements, and I am happy to know that in some small way I can make your time away from home just a little bit better. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I guess malware would be more appropriate. I am very against the idea of a corporate application, made to sell goods to the user, being placed in the systems folder, where typical users cannot remove it. This should be an option in the market, not standard.

I also will not touch work mail, as for me, it is too close to working on the side of microsoft.
[Android Themes] Thats BS:
You have to press the spot BELOW the icons on the lock screen for the music player, options ect.. Took me a second.:D

Also Cloverdale, I experienced a FC every time I tried to open gmail on this lastest. Some wallpapers were missing too, they are blank and weren't like that on the last version. Just confirming what others have posted. Thanks!
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Thank you, I forgot to mention that about the lockscreen buttons. Unfortunately, I am not a good enough coder (yet) to change the placement of the buttons on the lockscreen. Give me a little time though, our next BIG update (I cannot promise how soon though) will have a lockscreen with correct button placement and the "press menu to end" will be in a better place.

As far a gmail is concerned I am not having the problem, and I test and use every theme I upload. I suggest one of the following:

1. Extract the gmail apk from the HTC recovery image, then push it to system/app. Run fix_permissions, reboot.

2. Flash the HTC recovery, then Cyanogen, then my theme. (Note that CM does not have gmail, so flashing the HTC recovery is necessary).

3. Wipe (only if nothing else works).

Obviously one of these will fix it, most likely a wipe will not be required.

Wallpapers: There should be about 10 wallpapers in the Launcher. I removed them awhile back (in change log that mysteriously disappeared yesterday) for two reasons:

1.) There is limited space in the System folder, and wallpapers take up quite a bit of this space. I did not use the wallpapers in the launcher, so I threw in a few of my own, and wrote over the others with blank files. This removed about 2 MB from the Launcher, and thus the system folder.

2.) I theorize that some acore issues (most of which are due to the advanced launcher) could come from the launcher size being to big. In addition, a smaller launcher gives a more fluid motion between screens.

I have a questions for the users: Should I have less wallpapers in the Launcher. I personally use the black default, so that will remain. Are there other wallpapers people use, if so let me know and they will remain also. Please chime in with your thoughts on this issue.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
There was an issue with the lockscreen. I am taking down the update for a few.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
New version of the Lockscreen is up, and the link in the OP is good :)
[Android Themes] Thats BS:
I figured as much with the wall papers. The Gmail issue I think was a "not having wiped in months" thing. I did a full wipe, after just fixing permissions and a dalvic wipe didn't help. All is good now. Thanks.

Also, I attached the wallpaper I modified for this theme. :D
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Nice wallpaper. Thank you.
[Android Themes] secure_6:
Im trying that...practically pressing everywhere... on the icon... below the icons.. to the left, right, side and above...hmph??? The lockscreen shows my ICE info... which i like... to me it jus appears to be an image like the icons... I flashed this zip file using Amon Ra's v1.5.2... its not like I could change any settings... iv done the whole fix UID and permissions thing.

Again, its no major biggy, but now that Im hearing it IS functional... Im feeling a bit more NOOB-ish than I already am.:confused:

Black Search for AdvancedLauncher

I noticed that when I flashed your black search bar mod the Advanced Launcher replacement I use

reverted back to the normal one. Is was wondering if you could just post the files that modify the search bar?

That way I could modify the Advanced Launcher .apk myself.

You can always put wallpapers up as a download to put on the sdcard and then use the wallpapers from there.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Pictures promised in the above post.

Secure_6. Here are the lockscreen images mentioned above.
[Android Themes] Digitaldreamer7:
Any way you could tone down that font? Its jumbled and hard to read in some areas. i like the bar at top.... just the bar. any way i could bother you to post that without the fonts and the extras, no boot screens, no fonts, no lock screen etc... just the black bar at the top.
[Android Themes] Ssantos6981:
Loving the theme but...

No binary battery for Cyanogen? Also is there anyway to incorporate a version with advanced launcher? I love the theme, and Cyanogen, but can't stand the lag with all 5 home screens. I use Advanced launcher to change it to the stock 3 screen and fill it up with widgets and the sorts and the rom works speedy fast.

I am using advanced launcher now, but it took away that super cool tab you originally had, with the green highlight when you push it.

If not, don't worry, the fonts and system wide new look is great as it is. Thanks for all the work.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I like the font, so I will be keeping it, and unfortunately I can either assign it everywhere, or not at all. You can always change the font with a quick metamorph. As far as your request, it has always been on the OP, called BlackBar mod.

The binary battery is only on the lockscreen, I am not sure what you mean by "for Cyanogen". I personally would love to have 3 screens, and have been trying to compile a 3 screen launcher. On the other hand, I have noticed nothing but lag and acore force closes when I use the advanced launcher, so I tend to stay away from it. If you want the advanced launcher, it is very easy to make a metamorph for it. If you want help with this, let me know.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Many New Icons An Icon Pack

The link in the OP is updated to include many more icons.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
New twitter icons

I have not been happy with the twitter icons, so here are some nicer ones.
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
It'd be awesome if you themed the eclair youtube time bar and made it green
[Android Themes] Ssantos6981:
lockscreen binary widget

Yes, I mean the binary battery for the lockscreen. I downloaded the first (labeled "with lockscreen") barcode you have on the OP but the battery meter doesn't show up on my lock screen. Did I get the wrong one?
[Android Themes] BSDADON:
You have to select it to show up on the lock screen. The second icon from the left is what you click to have it show up. Well click under the icon for it to show up.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I never use YouTube, and am actually surprised that it is not changed. I will look into this, but it may not be immediate, as I have way too much going on at work/school right now.

Thank you for this, I forget that not every knows where to press the buttons.

I have been working on my Thesis for 36 hours straight. I am going to take a break from the world for a bit, so I apologize if I am not around to answer questions today/tomorrow.
[Android Themes] Ssantos6981:
Lol, I figured it out late last night. I accidentally tapped it and saw something so I started tapping like crazy and found them all underneath. Working Great! thanks for the excellent work.
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
If you need I can send you the metamorph I have with eclair youtube in it you could just theme it and post just the youtube as a morph
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Sorry for the late reply. I finished a 36 hour work shift, then crashed for 18 hours. Please upload this, and I will include the changes in the next update.

Thank you.

And, thank you to everyone for bearing with me when I may disappear for a day like this.
[Android Themes] ninjai:
thanks for all your work to create this theme.

I was curious if you happen to also have a black launcher update i could use to install just the launcher? similar to what you did for the status bar, and search bar?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Quick Lesson On How to Make a Metamorph of Parts of Any Theme.

This is quick and rough, but should be followable. I will use the launcher as my example, but it should apply to anything.

Extract my theme's zip file and find Launcher.apk in the folder /app/. Extract Launcher.apk, and inside find the /res/. In here are many folders, you only need to be interested in drawable, drawable-land, and drawable-port. In these folders are the artwork you need.

Make a new folder on your desktop. Call it CloverdaleLancher. In this folder create a folder called Launcher, inside of Launcher create a folder called /res, and inside of res place the folders drawable, drawable-land, and drawable-port (from my launcher). Inside of CloverdaleLauncher, create a file called CloverdaleLauncher.thm. This will be a text file with the following written on it

Any
Any
Launcher.apk
/system/app/

Save this, then make a zip of Launcher and CloverdaleLauncher.thm. Call this zip CloverdaleLauncher.zip. You now have a metamorph :)
[Android Themes] ninjai:
thanks I appreciate it!

Just to let you know it worked perfectly!
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
Sorry man I'm on my G1 as I can't figure out any tethers but give me your gmail and I can send it to you
[Android Themes] Android_Kev:
Is there anyway to do this without metamorph? Like being able to apply it threw recovery?
[Android Themes] Zei:
Are you gonna update the metamorph to 4.2.12.2

and if not Is there anyway you can make this into a seperate morph...im loving this
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
hey cloverdale i know this might be a little off topic but i saw you posting a lot in the metamorph thread and i'm having problems. i just recently started to use metamorph or trying to i should say...i don't even know if it's possible to do what i'm tryin to but i installed this theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=606775) cyanoid with metamorh just fine. after that i tried to install stericsons lockscreen i just flashed that from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557061) but it took away the theme. I guess i'm asking is it possible to metamorph to that cyanoid theme and then add stericsons lockscreen keeping the cyanoid theme? and is there a way to add advanced launcher to a theme that dosen't have it? I'm sorry but its killing me cause i can't figure it out, any help or advice you have is greatly appreciated...thanks man.

Edit: sorry i forgot to tell you what happens lol, all i get when i reboot is a black lit screen, i can't push anything the only thing i'm able to do is pull the battery and restore my nand backup.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Yes, but you need to know how to sign an update. Search the forums on how to do this and let me know when you can sign something, and I will explain the rest.

I am no longer doing themes as morphs, as I feel the real beauty of metamorph is allowing non-themers to pull apart themes and apply what they want from the theme. Having said that, to make the lockscreen look like that, you just need one file from the settings.apk. Check my post a few posts up, and it tells you how to make a morph from parts of this themes. If you need any help finding the file, just let me know.

Sometimes you can, and sometimes you cannot. If your original theme made any changes to the framework (other than images), this will happen. Usually this will happen with a full theme. To make the metamorph work with the lock screen, you will need to replace the following in the metamorph: framework.jar, framework-res.apk, android.policy.apk, services.jar, settings.apk. The problem with just switching these, is that you will lose most of your artwork. What you need to do it open your metamorph and merge the files in there with the files mentioned above. If you need any more explanation, just let me know.
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
do i replace framework.jar, framework-res.apk, android.policy.apk, services.jar, settings.apk in the cyanoid metamorph with the ones from stericsons lockscreen? and do i have to sign it again once i do that? i'm sorry i'm tryin to learn this stuff cause it is pretty neat and i'm thinkin i wanna start but start off simple
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The theme is a metamorph, correct? Because metamorphs do not need to be signed. If it is not a morph, then yes, you would have to resign.

Here is what I would try first, in the morph make folders entitled android.policy, framework, framework-res, services, settings

Take open up the corresponding files in the lockscreen. Take what is in android.policy.jar, framework.jar, and services.jar and place these in the newly made folders (ignore the meta-inf folders). Repeat the above for settings and framework-res.apk, ignoring the folders /res/drawable/, /res/drawable-port/, and /res/drawable-land/ (these have the artwork you do not want to replace). See my above post on making morphs and decide if anything needs to be added to the current theme control file. Zip this, flash the lockscreen, then flash the theme.

Hopefully this will work, if not you will have to ask the themer on how to implement the lockscreen into their theme,
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
ok cool, i'll try it and see what happens...it is a metamorph so i won't need to sign it...i promise these are my last 2 questions....is there a way to add an advanced launcher to themes that don't have one (is it the same process as the lockscreen)? and im tryin to intall a diff bootscreen in metamorph and i'm getting the error about the theme control file may be missing or invalid is there a way to fix that?
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
To add the advanced launcher, I would add it in the ususl way then make a metamorph to theme it (se my post above on theming a launcher).

That metamorph error usually implies the theme control file (the .thm file in the morph) and the morph (the .zip) do not have the same name, these must always match.

Have fun : )
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
aight thanks a lot man, i have something to work on this weekend thanks for the help i really appreciate it
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Everyone should have the knowledge to theme their own phone, I am only happy to help.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
As soon as cyanogen updates, I will update. Here is what to expect in the next update:

Green progress in YouTube,

Less wallpapers in Launcher,

A separate Advanced Launcher metamorph

Anything else I should include (that has not already been addressed)?
[Android Themes] Android_Kev:
Thanks

Hey thanks for that, but im an idiot, and i got metamorph done fine, and thanks for all the black additons. Makes my G1 look sick.
[Android Themes] G1-8701:
this theme is sick, lovin how u changed the font, which one has the battery in the status bar that stands up?
[Android Themes] mbrando45:
Black Bar

MAAAANNNNN!!! That black bar looks outstanding. Greatly improves the overall look!!!

Thanks for sharing.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I ended up changing the battery because the poorly done symmetry in the graphic really annoyed me. I think a new battery image will be in the future of this theme.

Thank you for using :)
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
I don't think cyanogen is releasing anything G1 related anytime soon
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Can you blame him? I think you are right though, and so I will do an update soon regardless of his progress. Things are extremely busy with trying to finish my PhD, so it will be a couple of days.

I need to get myself a nexus 1.
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
Its ok man take your time you are doing this for free afterall and good luck with your PhD man and if you want me to ill compile a zip of neon green and black wallpapers
[Android Themes] TU Homer:
Still struggling a bit with terminology. My history with hacking phones or even with linux is thin, but I'm getting a little more confident.

I have all my app options and wallpapers all black already, so I was pretty pleased when I saw your theme.I flashed the black bar, and really like it.

Am I understanding you correctly, to say I can simply flash the full file in Amon RA Recovery? This is the file I have:

Cloverdale-Black_Lite-v2.581321345589-Lockscreen-signed
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
yea just flash it in amon ra recovery.
[Android Themes] TU Homer:
Got it loaded. Very cool, indeed. Thanks so much for your efforts.

I love the font for the general phone stuff (black bar, icons) but have a difficult time reading it on SMS messages and the Pure Calendar Widget, Facebook widet, and other applications. Is there a way to alter the font?

This might be a suggestion; allow standard font per type, (Black Bar, Icons, Content) having three options.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The manner in which the OS is coded does not allow me to assign more than one font to the system. I personally like the font, as do many users, but I do understand that is not always the most readable. What I can suggest is downloading the font metamorph and changing to any font you like.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I am going to return to running Enomther's ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538456

It is a very stable, very fast donut ROM that I used to run, but I switched back to CM for awhile to learn how to theme. I realize Cyanogen will still be updating, but I know that if I had a new nexus 1, the amount of work I would do for the G1 would be minimal, and I like a ROM that is always adding new options. I will also be making this theme now for Enom's ROM, and not continuing to port to further versions of CM. If someone would like to take over the job of porting to new versions of CM, I am more than happy to teach you how. If you like my theme enough, try out this other ROM, otherwise, it is not hard to port to new versions of CM.

Expect a new version, with a new battery icon within a few days.
