[Touch CDMA Android Development] Lintegras:
My apologies; it's for the BlackXeth theme. The darned new poster rules came into effect an I couldn't update my post. If one were to look at the icons on the program load list, you would see (at least in the screenies) that some icons contain a completely transparent background while others have a dark grey block. I'd love to post an image example however, I am currently limited due to my lack of posts.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
I got the same message after installing the XXandroidX theme so I opened root explorer and deleted astro from system/app and redownloaded it from the market and I'm still getting the same message. Any Ideas? Root explorer pretty much does everything astro does and more so it's not that big of a deal. I just feel guilty like I'm cheating on astro LOL...

Why only 4 icons across on launcher tab

Great work on all of the themes guys! I would like to try many of them but find the one thing holding me back is that there are only 4 icons across on most of the launcher tabs. I see a lot of reference to 5 across being an older style. Other than that, is there a reason that most themes are being done with 4 across? Is it just primarily a clutter issue, or is there some deeper reason? Any quick answer here would be appreciated, but a link toward the answer (or a better place to post the ?) is great also. Thanks again for all of the hard work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
I think the general consensus among myn, myself, and the other themers has been that the 5 column launcher is a little bit slower than the 4 column. Also, I've found that sometimes 5 columns is a little too cluttered for our small screens. I know my two themes (DarkNexus and WarmEspresso) have the 5 column launcher if you want it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
haha ive never been tempted to cheat on Astro

but seeing as shes...a lil sick right now

i just might

but usually when this happens the maker of the app updates it with a new beta

so before the beta is over, they'll hopefully have updated it already
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
incubus said that he was not getting the message on astro.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:

hes always doing those haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
no cause he had kept data the first time and he said it didnt do it. but he then wiped data to get the contacts sync to work. heres an idea.... you wipe data and let me know if it works or not. haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
i doubt it

the beta usually lasts like a month

then they update it

its happened before
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
now im getting the beta message guys. Il try and figure it out today.

EDIT: Is it not just my theme doing it? Is astro beta really ending or is it my theme?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
when i wiped data, it didnt work so i had to remove some things from the theme and re upload it. If you re downloaded it after i re posted it last night you should have the fix for the contacts sync
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Liko:
I'm using the WarmExpresso theme and I got the message about the beta ending too.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
It's definitely not the themes causing this. It's Astro itself.

Like others have mentioned they release a new version every couple of months and really force their users to upgrade. I would expect a new astro to be released on the market in the next couple of days. I'll be sure to incorporate this into the next release too.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
The basic way i do themes is this (1-2 hours average per theme),

the way i do it is use a base theme with the font color i need white or black.

(or you can hex edit the xml which takes longer)

Then copy the entire theme over to a folder and do a search in that folder for

*.* - *.jpg - *.png

And delete a the results, now you have all the themes picture files already in the folders they need to be.

Zip it - ADB - MM - Reboot - Check for errors.

ADB Pull System,framework.

Create a Update.tar

Wipe Phone and apply update.

Check for Errors

Upload to XDA

Most Common Error: Deskclock widget icons are inside Framework

[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
so i keep the .jpg and .png files and delete everything else?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
yeap thats how i do it, I was writing a tut on it but its a Work in progress.

Creating a theme.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

PHOTOSHOP (or some image editor)

A Phone with MetaMorph Loaded (you can get this from the market)

ADB Drivers Installed (inside the SDK)

Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

A USB Cable

7Zip (for the pc) - http://www.7-zip.org/

Tools Nice to have:

A Hex Editor (anyone will work)

ColorChangerv3.jar - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535630

Easy Apk Dissembler - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=32ZNIKSZ

o	signapk.jar - (the above file has all these tools included)

o	smali-1.2.1.jar - http://code.google.com/p/smali/

o	baksmali-1.2.1.jar - http://code.google.com/p/smali/

o	AXMLprinter2.jar - http://code.google.com/p/android4me/downloads/list

Step One: Installing ADB Drivers to use with ADB

First and foremost you need to download the Android SDK. I put it on my Desktop for easy use. Next Hook your Phone up to your pc VIA usb cable. Go to device Manager and install the driver in Desktop\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver. Once installed you should see Android Phone – Android Composite Device under Device Manager. (If you’re having trouble see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010) Make sure you wait a good 3-5 minutes after hooking up your device before you think it’s installed wrong. For some reason on my pc it takes a good 3-5 minutes before I can use ADB.

Time to test ADB!!! Go to Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools hold Shift and right click and click open command window here.

Type ADB Devices you hopefully see SOMETHING! Even if its ? Device.

Ok now we are ready to work.

Theming at the lowest level is all about image replacement.

So for example lets say you want to replace your menu bar (launcher). Well for that we need to get the file. So in our command we will type ADB pull /system/app/Launcher.apk /test/Launcher.apk

Next we goto C:\test and copy /Launcher.apk to the desktop

Extract this file with 7zip to a folder.

Navigate to Desktop\Launcher\res\drawable\

Look for the images files you wish to edit in photoshop. Change them etc..

Once your done your now ready to put it back onto you phone.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
cp0020, Your the one that got me into doing these themes. Its not that hard. If you think about what metamorph does, It takes the images from the res\drawable & drawable-finger &drawable-land ect..folders and puts them into the res\drawable folders of the base theme apk's. So, all you need to do is use root explorer and put the base app folder and framework folder on your computer(always make a copy of them when your going to work with them so you always have those base files to work off of with other themes). Then download the theme you want wich usually comes with apks pretty much laid out just like you would make an anroidupdate. So use 7zip(it will be your best freind) and get the list of apk from the base rom opened up and another 7zip to get the list of themed apks up. Start transferring the images from the res\drawable and other drawable folders (leaving the xml's) to the base apks res drawable. Just like metamorph would. You can drag and drop from one 7zip to the other until you do every apk leaving both 7zips open the whole time. Once you get that done just set it up for a tar and test it out. You can do this man:)

I personally dont use adb or any of the programs suggested outside of 7zip. I also dont even use metamorph anymore either even its a metamorph theme. I just use 7zip. Its my best friend. No need to even extract any files.

Also i cannot choose my network... when i choose "network operators" it searches and searches and never shows anything, but after a few minutes of searching it turns the phone off and restarts....

the modem setting shows its connected succesfully and gives all the ip info...

I am able to make calls and sends text messages....

The trick to making sure you data works is:

-flash to the stock rom

-open up a browser

-let the phone do it's data provisioning

-navigate to google.com and ensure data works

-THEN flash android

That process has worked for me every time i have to go back to the stock rom, if your simply upgrading from android to android then you don't have to.
