fwiw, I upgraded to Maps 5 a little while ago and decided to go back to the previous version to compare the two, and to my surprise, uninstalling the latest update caused the Google Maps icon to become themed :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Yeah, that's because the ones you flash are installed into /system/app but when you update via the market they are installed in /data/app and override the one in system. When you uninstall the update it reverts back to the copy in /system/app. I'm pretty certain this is due to ensure some level of protection against writing to /system from the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Hmm, I didn't know that. It's just strange because the last time I flashed DC(months ago) it themed the Google Maps icon right off the bat, but this the first time it's been themed on 6.1 since I flashed DC(6.1) last week. Gmail, Market, etc...icons all themed right away too. only Gmaps stayed un-themed, until today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
If the apk in /data is more up to date then the one in /system it will automatically override (you can actually see it in the logcat during first boot after flashing). You may have had the same version in /data as was included in /system and it didnt uninstall the copy in /data. If the version you are flashing in /system is newer, then the phone will uninstall it during first boot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
oh okay I see what you're saying :) Thanks man

If I were running Google you would be on the payroll and your themes would come pre-installed on every Android device.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
LMAO Thanks man
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Can you imagine what it would be like for folks who cannot, or will not root their device to have access to these kinds of themes. Just go to settings>themes>apply theme :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
That's kinda how Espresso is, it has some built in color options to change the theme of the phone, just not as detailed. Be nice if you could theme framework without modifying.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah that's what I love about your theme..the detail. Hell, even the XDA app "working" icon turns red for Dark Cherry :D It's all the little stuff I discover along the way that really makes it for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lightning N1:
jairomeo,

Here is a screen shot of Nexus X water, live wallpaper :)

Inspired by the wallpaper in your themes:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Any chance you might update Dark Cherry to CM 6.1.1 at some point? The only reason I even care at all is that some apps here in this forum are starting to require 6.1.1 to work and I'm not giving up Dark Cherry to get them to work, so hoping you might get time. I'll gladly donate again.:):)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
If I have the time, at the current moment, I have no promises. I just got back from vacation and am strapping down to focus on my career plus getting ready to start my second Masters. I'm out of touch over anything the last few weeks, my phone personally can't be unthemed so anything being updated by me kinda revolves around when I have time to update my ROM forcing me to update a theme.

Since CM and Enom have all the text changes built in, with some double checking, it should be really easy for me to generate MetaMorphs for both roms in both Dark Berry and Dark Cherry, I have the folders matched to the ROM so it should be just making the zip and xml, but I won't be able to look at it until next weekend at best. I do want to at least get an MM for the themes up though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah I'm in no hurry man...I feel like I've been cheating on you:D but I finally got curious enough to try a new ROM and flashed ROD's MIUIMOD ROM...I'm really in love with it. It has beautiful transitions and window animations and is unbelievably fast. The only thing it's missing is Dark Cherry Flavored Ice :D

I don't know how to use metamorphs, I just got comfortable with flashing ROMs the old fashioned way. :)

If you ever make a ROD's MIUIMOD version of Dark Cherry...I would **** my pants :D

Seriously though man, like I said, I'm playing with this new ROM right now so there is no hurry or pressure from me at all. Good luck on your career and second Masters bro...and thanks for all the work you did on these themes...they were the only reason I ever rooted my Nexus in the first place and that opened up so much more for me. I can never fully repay you for the experiences you gave me and the fun I've had learning to flash, root, etc...not to mention all the great apps rooting gave me access to. Like I said without your theme I would never have been motivated enough to root. :):)

I've got a backup of Dark Cherry + Cyanogen and will always go back once in awhile! :)

Thanks for everything!! Hope to talk again some time!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Well first, thank you for everything you said. It is much appreciated. Support like that is one of the main reasons I've kept themeing as long as I have.

I'm glad to hear the theme got you to root your phone so you can enjoy what it is to be rooted.

MetaMorph is simple, rather than flashing, it just overwrites all the files included and reboots after framework is themed. Advantage is, since the new ROMs have it built in to change your text colors and we don't have to edit the XML's, all you need to do is replace the images, allowing the MM to work across updates to the ROM (unless images are removed, then it bloats the apks). Meaning 6.1 or 6.1.1 it wouldn't matter, you could just reapply the theme. Same goes for when GApps are updated, you flash the update then you can just reapply the theme to those apps.

I've never used MIUI so I don't know what the setup is like, if it's similar to AOSP or if it has its own images and directories like CM does. Unless it has the ability to change the text colors in the status bar and pull down, MetaMorph wouldn't work with it, it need to have flashable updates for the F.I. themes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Thanks for the metamorph explanation. I'll mention it in Rod's thread and see if I can get him to add status bar and pulldown tweaks so that maybe this would work. You take care and I'll see you around XDA:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djslyda87:
any chance of doing a port to legend, i just tried this on my legend and i just get the boot image over and over again, i'm willing to pay someone if it means having to do lots of work, thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] biggeorgef:
None of the DL's work. I was trying to DL Dark Cherry for Nexus CM6 - 404 page. I tried a few others just to see and kept getting 404's.

Is this dead?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] biggeorgef:
Bumpadolididoo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
You can PM me your email I still have a copy of the Dark Cherry zip for Cyanogen 6.1 on my computer and I can try and gmail it to you. I cannot be responsible tho if the file is somehow corrupted or you screw it up somehow.

Another thing I can do is point you to a workaround. If you've read this thread then you already know I was a big user of Dark Cherry but eventually had to move on as Cyanogen moved forward without Flavored Ice support.

First you'll need to flash CyanogenMod 7, then go here and download this theme from the market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.upwardspiral.Red_Remix

Since it's a root only theme, it themes a lot more than standard themes. I would say it's 85%-90% of what Dark Cherry achieves.

It's been a fantastic workaround for me. Also keep in mind that there is a 99 cent donate version you can consider should you decide to use the theme full time. :) I would personally go this route. That way you get CM7 as well as red theme :)

Hope this helps in lieu of jairomeo coming back :):)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] biggeorgef:
PM sent. Thanks for the offer and the info.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
no problem :)

One thing tho: that theme will give you pretty old versions of Google Apps like Gmail, etc.., if you go in the market and update them, it will untheme the icon, so be aware of that if you like the red gmail, Google maps etc.., icons.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
The last Wordpress update screwed up the script for downloads, it's now fixed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Since I don't have the time for the maintenance of the theme anymore, but we now have the theme engine in CM7, I am slowly working on converting the theme for the theme engine. Beta's will be posted via twitter and other means soon then once I'm happy, on the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
Oh man that's kick ass! Thank you and glad to see you're still around!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Yup still around, just making wallpapers and Android Character Avatars, My Picasa album is getting huge. Also, just keeping up with all my ADW themes. Just dont have time to deal with full themes anymore, hopefully within the next week or so I'll have something for the theme engine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] biggeorgef:
Those themes are fantastic, jairomeo. Thank you for your hard work. And big thanks to Old MuckenMire for his help in getting me the theme I was looking for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
NP, glad he was able to help as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
I have been using ljonas version of this keyboard as he has fixed a lot of things that are broken, i.e., voice search, user library, some visual things etc. I made a MetaMorph using your keys, and th clear background from gIMPsta, here it is if anyone wants it.

This is a MetaMorph.

It works to make the ljonas keyboard icy.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
in your licorice theme is your search and facebook widget themed?:confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Cool thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
In the current enom version and CM 5.0.3.1, no.

In the CM 5.0.4 version, the search widget is themed. I didn't touch the facebook app.

The changes I am making in 5.0.4 will be in the other Licorice versions in the next couple days.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
sweet, liking the licorice theme right now good work..if you have time would you mind theming the facebook widget? thanks:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Ill add it once I finish the mods left for licorice. Glad you like it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
sounds good thanks for the high quality themes....:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
To say this theme is sick... is a gross understatement! This is freakin gorgeous man!

Fantastic work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
It appears the flashed version overwrites something in messaging app that takes away the trackball LED customized color functionality found in CM 5.0.4. Would the morph version not have the same effect?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Really? It shouldn't. Mine were still green. The color is defined in the /system/lin/hw/ I can flash back to the licorice tomorrow and look again, I'm out right now.

The MetaMorph won't affect anything. It doesn't contain any xml's or anything/ I'm currently using a flash version of the white version for 5.0.4 and they are still working fine. That one is http://www.jbthemes.com/Flavored_Ice/Licorice_FlavoredIce_CM-5.0.4-beta4.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
Let me clarify. It still has the color functionality. The settings portion of the Messaging app had a place to specify what color you wanted. Everything else is the defailts set my ChainsDD (ie - no separate options for Missed Call, VM, or new email).

I flashed that same one. Maybe I'll dig and find the def in the xmls that maybe allow for that to be set. I'll report back later.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Oh, ok. No, that's my fault then probably. I will pull the messaging app and fix. So either a drunken update in a few hours or tomorrow.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
Haha! Right on.

Ya, I think I'll let you tackle this one. What's with the XML in this stuff? I work in the J2E field... and this doesn't look like any XML I've seen. I'm usually using vi, not notepad... but I don't think it should matter.

Guess I have some reading to do.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Use HxD to edit. The G1 section (may be moved to the Android Theme section) has a great file called AXMLPrinter2.jar will convert the XML into human readable form.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
any one use on 5.0.4.1 yet? Looks like a great theme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] beagz:
There are some updates and fixes in the works. He sent me a beta and you will not be displeased.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gtrplr71:
sweet cant wait!:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Will post updates to all the versions tonight fixing a couple .9's and the Messaging in CM. The fixes finish off the Lemon version, and I will continue working the Licorice changing everything there is.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
I don't suppose you can post the apk for Messaging so I can test it (ok, I won't lie... so I can have it now haha)

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Was out all day, just got home, MMS app is back in, progress bar has a new edit for all versions. All new links in the OP.

Will be continuing to work on the Licorice version as the week goes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Old MuckenMire:
I made sure not to repost your work or anything. I just did a temporary upload that only he had permission(via email verification) to download. Just wanted you to know that. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
check the zip... I think there may be an issue with it. I'm getting an invalid zip error. CM 5.0.4(.1) Licorice beta 5
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Looks like the upload was bad, because I just downloaded it and couldn't open it. I am working on it now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Reuploaded the file, same link in the OP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
Thank you kind sir!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
For those using Licorice, what do you think of having the menu icons and such inverted to black?

Some I like better and others I don't. I am working on converting them all to this, but I am just wondering your thoughts? I personally prefer the Lemon version of it, so input is welcome on how to build Licorice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
hi jairomeo. can i please a see a screenie of lemon? there is a licorice screenie in the first post right?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
I named Lemon after the Italian Ice flavor (so Lemon = white, no one eats the yellow snow haha) even though it should be like Lemon/Blue Raspberry. So the screens in the OP itself are the "Lemon".

Licorice is the dark version which I attached some of the screens to the OP, since you can only include 15 screens inside a post itself.

"I peed on your snowcone" which is the yellow version :D is next on the list. I have about half the color changes done, not including any of the .9's yet though.

Since I plan on having many "Flavors" I'll have to join images so I can show the differences.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Side note, the .9 that beagz fixed for me didn't get included in the Licorice beta 5 :mad: I didnt sync make to my USB drive. It will be in the next version when I release. I have updated a few more things to dark. I probably wont post the update until I'm done unless Cyanogen beats me by pushing out 5.0.5 before I'm done.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
BTW, how to you guys like the new progress bar?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
ahhh cool:)

ill check out the lemon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Sweet let me know what you think. Hope you like it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
looks good really liking this theme are all widgets themed> facebook ,search, youtube? in licorice version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Not yet. Licorice is still in the works. I'm gonna be working on completing it this week. The only widgets themed so far is the search, music and settings. Once all the icons are done, I'll be doing the widgets. I never use Facebook, so I'll have to look at it before making changes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
On mine (CM licorice b5) Maps and Google Voice icons are still stock

I like the new progress bar.

I think that there is already enough of a mixture of black with blue. The MMS icon could go with a black smile instead of white, and the Car Home could use the white outline changed to black. Aside from that I think the icons are perfection as they stand. When I was still in the iPhone world, I changed themes biweekly or monthly... but honestly... I think someone would be hard pressed to build a theme I like more than Flavored Ice - Licorice. To say this is just a theme doesn't do it justice... this package is a Total Visual Enhancement plus some extra goodies.

I'd actually skipped over your theme thread due the to the name... Lemon. Sounded like it was not for me. After trying several themes, and perusing the themes section for hours, for me this one was leagues above the rest.

Keep up the good work! I'm a huge fan! I can't wait to see the finished product
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Thank you for the great feedback! It lets me know I am reaching my goal of the theme. I wanted to give something to the Nexus that took advantage of amazing display we have and get rid of all the boring gray.

I haven't touched Maps, Google Voice or Facebook yet, for either version.

Maps, I am going to research an icon. The next update though will include internal icons in Maps themed.

Google Voice, I will add to the mix also.

I was initially hesitant to theme these since they are occasionally updated, but it is infrequently enough that it wouldn't be anything major to maintain.

Those items will come ones the Licorice is deemed complete. I don't think there is much left. I did get the Messaging icon, along with the Gallery. I have GTalk left and a few minor things.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] setzer715:
Loving this theme! Running licorice on Cyan 5.0.4.1.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
@jairomeo - Very nicely done. I briefly read a post where it looked like you wanted to quit posting due to some BS with other members. Don't let that get to you, man. I, among others, enjoy your work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
Just a suggestion for the CM Lemon.

I think that perhaps there is too much contrasting on the keyboard. Perhaps making the letters black would help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Ill add the VK to the list. Maybe tint the keys blue or the letters blue. I know beagz is working something for the HTCIME so I may wait and see what he comes up with also.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
looks cool. i think if you can tone down the brightness of white in the lemon, it would be a little bit easier to view in certain aspects (to my eyes anyways; which arent the greatest, ha).

licorice is cool too. over there, maybe icons can stand out a lil bit more and not fade in to black so much.

ill be following your progress! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] madhartigan:
won't work for me?

I downloaded the htc_ime-black-CMEdition-transBG-morph.zip file and copied it to root of my sdcard.

I then used Amon_Ra's Recovery 1.6.2 and flashed the .zip file using the Recovery mode.

I keep getting:

E:Can't open /sdcard/Licorice_FlavoredIce_CM-5.0.4.1-beta5.zip
(bad)

What have I done wrong?

*Update* - Apparently the download said it was complete at 12MB. I tried re-downloading and realized it should be around 27MB instead. Works great now. Thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Re-download the file. You may have downloaded it before the fix this morning, or your download wasn't complete.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Wow, you tried both lol.

In which area's are you talking about for the Lemon version? I can look at it.

Licorice is still a definite WIP. A few icons have a little white glow around them, I think for the Licorice I'll need to add some kind of glow around them? What is your opinion of the Menu icons going to black in the Licorice?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
What is your opinion of the dark menu icons versus the light in the Licorice version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
Hmm for example in the notification dropdown and also in cascading menu (might be the tint of blue in the icons/letters making the white look brighter).

I think maybe they blend it to black a bit much, and could stand out a lil bit more(??)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pershoot:
Duplicate....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
The black I agree with. When you go into the launcher it's too dark, and also icons in the pull down. I am going to try and add a glow to them to break it up just a little. I wish there was an easy way to edit the black in the launcher2 but its part of the code itself.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Title Bar

I still have mixed feelings on the title bar. I like the one I used in the original G1 theme better. I'm curious to your thoughts
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
This has got to be the best quote ever. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] saprol:
Thanks suhu..

Its working on my N1...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] miphonematt:
Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed that.

Since I've only used the CM Licorice version, I don't have an opinion about anything in Lemon. As for the light background in the menu... I think it works the way it is. I enjoy the darkish icons... it pops well there. I really like the black background on the applications area too. So I guess my liking of both is a bit conflicting.

I do see what you mean about the glow. The Market icon is utilizing it... and because there is enough black going on in the icon... it works. I don't know if you could pull it off with the others tho. The Phone icon could. Just looked at the mail icon thinking it could have it and it appears it already does.

I really like consistency... but I really like your icons. It just seems that it'd be hard to pull off the mucho darko with many of the other icons... but then again, I'm not the artist... you are :)

my .02
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
That was my concern, was the black icons in the menu, so thank you for the feedback.

As I work those, I am going to work with the icons also and see what I can come up with, and will post a version to try and see how everyone likes it. It probably wont be until the weekend before I get it all done.

Once Licorice catches Lemon, I will work both to do Maps, Google Voice and the Facebook widget.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
First, I'd like to say wow! over 500 downloads already this month.

Second, I see Licorice is way more popular than Lemon, I am continuing the updates I have some new icons and things and just getting it a little more ready then will release another update.

Also, I decided to try ctso's mod for CM 5.0.4.1 with the apps2sd, if anyone is interested in the Licorice in work I do have it for that ROM also.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Here is one new possibility for the title bar and also progress of the icons
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] speedogg410:
anyway to change the color of the keyboard to a darker color....maybe black with blue letters ....just my opinion..i love this theme
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
That is in the progress too :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] speedogg410:
cant wait to flash it......one question..u see how the notifacation settings are in messaging change vibrate/send on enter etc......anyway to add the (back to all threads when hitting the back button) it was very useful ....i kno its not ur department but this question is for whomever can answer it ...thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
It was a nice feature to the MMS app on the G1. My lazy ass still hasnt reinstall ubuntu on my laptop so I cant edit any source code at the moment. Hopefully someone does make that addition, maybe ask Cy is csto
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 52brandon:
beautiful theme. Got the metamorph and the licorice framework on my droid with koush's port of the cyanogen mod. Absolutely perfect. Thank you
