There is no way your zip file changed and keyboard skin didnt. there is simply no way your user account can be different then any other on here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
Yeah, I just came back in to tell you I found out what the problem was ... Firefox. On a hunch, I tried the site in IE. If I use Firefox, I keep downloading the first skin that was created. If I use IE, the download contains the skin I created.

And sorry, I haven't received an email from you. :-( Maybe it went to my spam folder ... I will check. Wasn't trying to spam you.

At any rate, if anyone asks, Firefox will show you the previews fine, but the downloaded skin will always be the first you created. I think Firefox is caching and not downloading the new skin since it generates with the same name.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
No worries, didn't mean to sound like i felt that way if you I did!

This is DEFINITELY not true. a> I only use firefox, b> about 75% of people using the kitchen (last time i looked) use firefox. It's something on your end, sorry :) Not to mention, technically 100% impossible (from my end anyway).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
It may be on my end in my system, but honestly, that is what was happening with MY Firefox. It was caching the download or something. May be one of my settings, I don't know. No worries, I will just use IE from now on.

It wasn't my installation procedure, as install went fine. I thought that too at first. The 2nd time I re-created the Cubs theme, I changed the .apk to a .zip and extracted to have a look at the files before I installed on the Droid ... the spacebar graphic and key colors were all those of the black and green Droid one I did.

I promise, I'm not a noob ... I just don't post a lot cause I don't often have trouble. :D That one just baffled me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
No problem, I understand :)

Yeah I can comfortably say it's your end, simply because the code that deletes files automatically sweeps the entire users directory without malice and destroys anything over X amount of time. Plus, as soon as your keyboard is generated, the temp folder containing the images you chose, the newly compiled classes.dex, etc is deleted automatically. Again, your folder is no exception to this rule :) Not sure what could be unique about your particular browser cache setup, but something def going on there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
I found a two little bugs, when i change the custom color for symbol sets the custom space image is not shown, it is shown in preview but when i install it on my nexus the spacebar is gone,

even the settings button is still white, when i disabled voice input.

i made a screenshot of the preview and the final on my nexus:

edit: also the different symbol colors made the symbol not as sharp as before, a little unsharp at the edges

eidt2: i didn't checked: *Replace Space Bar?

*This will replace whatever custom spacebar logo you have uploaded

and will automatically change your spacebar selection to this.

so if i understand it correct my bug will only happen if it is selected? but it's unselected when i created my custom colors
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ahhh. I have never skinned just the image of the gear (settings with no voice) will have to add that later.

Yeah, that's why I said this will probably need some tweaking. Generating images on the fly is not easy.

Sounds like legit bug. If you don't check that, you should have whatever you selected, if you do check it, you should have the colored space bar logo matching the set you just generated.

I will work on this area later today, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shingers5:
problems with installing on htc desire. works perfectly on my nexus one and x10 but keep getting app not installed using linda file manager or astro. any help? i really like the blue keys with green function keys. cant install on my HTC desire. any help would be appreciated!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm, can you install the stock unskinned v25 keyboard on your desire?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r0adki111:
Forgive me if this has been covered but when I generate a skin the letters show up black like they keys and I can barely see them. Only tried cyanogen and nextheme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Very bizzare... I just tried the one you last generated and it ended up with black text and shadow layers, meaning it did not do the color patching step for some reason...

I just generated the identical one (from preset) and installed it and it works perfectly....

Could you try again, maybe doing a custom one from scratch?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shingers5:
haven't tried but i have rooted my desire and using latest rom.

update:

stock unskinned not installing............ unknow sources is ticked as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r0adki111:
Just made a custom one from scratch. Same thing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmm bigger issues going on then. Try completely uninstalling it if you already have it installed. If not, not sure.

Very strange, maybe something unique to your username? The numbers at the end or something? I don't have time to debug but I will later.

Also, still need to do some more debugging on the symbol set/space bar logo problem. Probably best to avoid custom symbol sets until later today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Okay, fixed the custom symbol set/space bar issue. you will need to recreate any symbol sets you made before as I had to delete them (even if they show, they are only cached, they aren't really there).

Still need to add single gear icon and maybe try to clean up images. this is all I had time for right now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r0adki111:
Maybe I could get someone to post the apk for The cyanogen one with transparent background. I'd really appreciate it :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Perhaps, in the meantime, you could try creating a new account without the numbers? I mean this is def first time this has happened. I can debug later, just am mobile right now. If you have to, use an obvoiusly fake email address to register the second account and i'll fix it later.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r0adki111:
Ok. ill post back with results. thx so far :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r0adki111:
Ok so I made a new acct with no numbers and used a valid email. same thing. ill try it from a computer in a little bit maybe that will help. when I preview it looks ok but just not when installed. weird. I am using cm 5.0.6 with the HTC_ime keyboard already. not sure if that has anything to do with it. ill be back in a bit. got some work to do. thx again.

Update:

Logged in with my laptop and downloaded cyanogen keyboard and unzipped it with winrar then moved apk to phone and voila! It works fine. Maybe andexplorer doesn't extract it correctly on my n1? I didn't try androzip, maybe I should have.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Both of these issues have been fixed ala screenshot below. I will see what I can do to clean up the generated symbols, and maybe add some gradient or something for a 3d look if I can. They honestly look alittle better on the phone then they do in the screenshots being generated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
I generated 3 Keyboards with the generator...but the second two still looked exactly like the first one did...so yea...please fix or tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Also, can u add an option for completely squared keys...keys without rounded edges.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Something to do with your local cache, same thing was reported/solved on this page or the page before. That, or not extracting properly to your phone (someone had similar issue again on this page or page before this one.) (edit: page 32/33)

It's 100% impossible for it to not be what it looks like in the screenshot (the file sitting on my server, at least).

Sure, square keys wouldn't be a problem. Any particular color? Or a couple of options I assume?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
PS, it works now, but you may want ot look into that...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
couple of options...preferable black white and dark grey...all flat colors....tryna get HTC_IME to match my theme perfectly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
A little while ago (30 mins maybe), I added ?d="CURRENT TIMESTAMP" to the end of the download link (you may or may not have noticed). This forces your browser to download a new copy instead of using a cached copy as it's always going to be a unique url.

I have had 0 problems, and only about 3 of almost 2000 users have had the problem, I don't think it was my end to begin with, but that little "always unique url" hack I did will fix it regardless.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Right on, I'll try to whip something up tonight!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] AbsoluteDesignz:
lol yea, I read ur post previous to my second one and realized it was most def a cache issue...then I replied about the key options, then you replied to my second comment before I could edit it out...my bad if I sounded snooty.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hahahah no not at all, same here.. Just too fast of posting, lol, glad it's all sorted out anyway!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
how about a Cubs space bar?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You can upload an image for spacebar and they are pretty easy to make.

I'm going to try to get logos for all the major teams done and up at some point tho.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
I been slacking on getting ICONs for gIMp..... He's been on a lot of coding for this **** so time for resizing icons has been abandoned by @gIMpSTa.....(Let alone the fact the generator was suppose to take requests AWAY from him, so you can do it yourself). I've still been working on getting all MLB, NBA, NFL ect. teams ready so ppl don't have to do it themselves but it's really not hard....

Early morning grump message: /me sorry but dam, every things on the site!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
How do I download the keyboards? The gimpsta page requires a logon. Need I donate?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
The register button is directly beside the login button :)

Currently, there are no features exclusive to donators only (other then a warm place in my heart ;) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Ok... Can I download any pre-cooked versions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Pre-cooked as in already generated, no, at least not currently (not sure about in the future either).

You can, however, click the "Choose a preset skin to begin with" link to aid you in generating one identical to screenshots from second post in this forum, or the "See last 25 skins generated here" link for the same thing, except for the skins people have recently generated.

The generating process takes about 15-30 seconds, and it's a few simple questions to get to that point.

This method offers a level of customizability far beyond any other keyboard (that I can think of anyway) out there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Unquestionable:
Is this website generating a HTC_IME apk identical in function to the one maintained by Jonasl or is it simply creating an installable skin that we install alongside the latest version of Jonasl's HTC_IME?

And thanks for this, it looks great.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hah2110:
Ok. I love this interface. It is a little overwhelming at first but after 30 seconds, it is cake! Should I just have to flash zip from SD card? Because I did so and it completes but the keyboard never changes.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It generates an HTC_IME.apk 100% identical to the one maintained by Jonasl, it's just pre-themed, zipaligned, and signed (with identical key Jonasl uses).

Nope, they aren't flashable update.zip's anymore. All you have to do is extract the APK file from the zip and put it on your sd card, then use a file manager that supports reinstalling (I reccomend root explorer or linda) and simply browse to the APK file, click it, and install!

If you have ADB setup and are comfortable with it, you could also do adb install -r /path/to/HTC_IME_FILE.apk, but the first way is pretty fool proof :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ywindlass:
Awesome

This is really fresh dude, a great theming tool you have given the community. Thanks. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
/me bows :cool:

Thank you, glad you enjoy! Even this early in it's life (coded on a drunken nite less then 2 weeks ago :eek:) it wouldn't be what it is today without suggestions/feedback/reports etc from the community itself. I still have big plans for this and other projects going forward!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
Here you go. This is the one I used when I made mine. :-) Hope this helps!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Congrats, this generator is already very popular, I am very curios where it is going to!!

keep it up!!!:cool::cool::cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BennyJr:
This is AWESOME!!!!! Its soo sexy when yu can mod it like this. Great freaking work!! Imma have to donate to this one
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkstar38:
DUDE!!! ****ing amazing! Great job on the skin kitchen!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Glad you guys enjoy it, honestly I wasn't sure how popular it would be, but the stats don't lie :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeriousX:
Hi gIMpSTa! The kitchen is Great! But now it lacks symbol sets ) I got a symbol set for your kitchen And an Icon I was making a keyboard just now, made icon and symbols by myself, but couls use my symbols =(

Maybe you can add then for everybody to use? They are to be used on dark keys.

Icon - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=321666&stc=1&d=1273092792

Thanks in advance!

Great Work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Got em and just responded to your PM, already added to the kitchen, they look pretty good on black keys, nicely done!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeriousX:
Syperb! I see you also added my striped backgroud ) i have both landscape and portrait pieces if you need )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeriousX:
I found a bug in kitchen =). When i use custom symbol set (except white set) symbols change on keyboard, but symbols on POP-UPs stay by default - white set. Hope that was usefull. Good luck!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Not a bug really. I've never themed the popups, all the way back to when I was doing morphs only for this keyboard. There was a reason for it, it slips my mind right now but if I recall I was having issues with it when I attempted to. I personally disable the popups because I find them annoying, so honestly it's not high on my priority list right now but I'll investigate it again in the future.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
2 weeks have passed since this went live, in that time 2,231 users have created 5,224 custom skinned keyboards!

That's an average of a keyboard being generated every 3.8 minutes!

Approximately 22 gigs worth of keyboards! :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SeriousX:
Ok, thats not so important, just noticed, and thought it would be usefull. =)

And... yeah... about those 22gigs of keyboards... thats was me..))))

Joking ")
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
YAY!!! Keep up the great work. XDA Community keep spreading the word!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dhbdhb2000:
Any progress on the low-res? This is great and I want to be able to use it for my Eris. Keep up the great work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I hope to have something ready to test this weekend. That is my goal at least. I am pretty sure I have solved all the issues I wanted to, so with any luck, I'll have some time tomorrow to bang something out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dhbdhb2000:
Great, thanks again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wowthatisrandom:
works great! thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Teaser Post

Low res kitchen, coming soon ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wowthatisrandom:
awesome! thanks for all your hard work.

Is it possible to skin the popups? i see them in the res folder but i know the apk needs to be signed so i can swap them manually. if we could skins those and the T9/ABC button in compact mode you will have officially done it all!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I personally hate the popups and havn't bothered skinning them in the past. At one point, it seemed like it was going to be a PITA, but I'll look into it again.

Yeah, I have the t9/abc button on my list of things to do, will likely add it in later. Want to get lowres online first :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wowthatisrandom:
haha totally understand, the popup letters bother me less, i guess better way to describe them is the prediction word highlights, my keyboard is red (http://tweetphoto.com/21788185) i would love to be able to get matching red prediction highlights. instead of stock green

again your the man keep up the amazing work. and i got about 6 friends waiting on your low res version ;D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ugot2go123:
I still have no idea how to install these.. It's not working for me. Can I please have the step by step process? Would it be possible to install using Terminal Emulator?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Really? What phone and ROM?

Option 2 should be universal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ugot2go123:
I'm on the Droid & using Smoked Glass ESE53
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Directions are in first post pretty much, but...

Download theme u want on pc. Extract the zip file. Copy system/app/HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk to your SD card. Install astro file manager in market. Open and goto the files and open them and hit install.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HolyGrail:
Little confused. These are for portrait mode. What shows up in landscape? The regular HTC Keyboard?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
... the exact same theme just in landscape mode, i just didn't think landscape screenshots were required.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ugot2go123:
Ohhhh ok hahahaa thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Posted minor update to the x10 skin (fixed the black text on the smiley button and #12 button when in landscape).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Talderon:
I do have to say that these are a HUGE hit here in my office where we have several people with Stock N1's... :)

Thanks for the great work and keep it up! I have been watching the other thread with the Themes for this keyboard, but without a rooted phone, it's hard to get them working... :P

Thanks again!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Thanks! Glad to hear it!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
Love the RedSoxs one man!! Great work as always...I'll donate, wait nah i'll just buy ya a JagerBOMB this weekend alright? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
how about a umich one please maize and blue... thanks

also can you tell me how to modify a signed market app.. i have an audio book player i bought and am trying to make the widget transparent.. after editing the .png and readding to the .apk it will not install.. thought it was due to a signature so i downloaded the jdk and signed it.. still no go..

then i tried meta morph after moving to system/app but still will not work? bummer.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
After you resigned it did you remove the original one from your phone? It won't let you install it if there is an existing one with a different certificate.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drppdatbrth:
^^^

MY Hero.

Never was a fan of full on phone sports themes, but subtle little things like this.... awesome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ditto, got a few more comin out in next day or two as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] trillonometry:
would love to see the oil slick done with Green instead of yellow. Loving the work cant wait to see other skins!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gogol:
[DELETED] Sorry, I found the answer to my question.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Awesome that you're doing Theme versions also. Not sure about everyone else, but I think the way you made the Mic 2 different colors on the NexTheme version is better than the one single color that you have on the others.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
Some of those are really slick, but the Penguins one makes me want to boycott your work :P
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Very beta version of low res kitchen now online!!!!!

Very beta, allthough it shares much of the same codeset as the high res kitchen, so hopefully no major bugs.

Special notes, a> currently there are no custom symbol sets in low res kitchen, and b> some spacebar logos may cause overlap issues as they may be slightly to big. It's not a big deal, but I'm aware of this and might resize them all. Remember, this is VERY BETA!

Same username/password from the high res kitchen works in the low res kitchen. There is a link (currently in the changelog only) in the high res kitchen, and i'll post it here. After I get some feedback/testing out of it I'll update first post/this thread and probably start a new thread in a more appropriate section.

This is for the "1.6 and higher" low res version of htc_ime by jonasl. Test away, please!

http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dhbdhb2000:
Thanks! And you were right about the spacebar images, but no biggie. That's what Photoshop is for. I'm amazed at how well this works.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yeah I'm playing around with a few different sizes right now to try and nail down a good "maximum" then I will go loop thru and resize them for the lowres kitchen, if they still look decent (should) i'll reupload them all. Shouldn't be much longer.

Edit: I have finished resizing and reuploading spacebar images. Had to throw out a few, but still lots of choices.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fuzio1963:
???

Why my keyboard (the one i created using on-line kitchen) usually disappears after couple of days or after reboot? I always got back to the stock one? Thank you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
No idea... you probably have multiple copies installed some how, or a "stock" htc version and jonasl's. There is no way it can just "lose" the theme, so you def have multiple versions installed.

Edit: If you look through this thread, I've given instructions a couple of times on using root explorer or something with root abilities to go through and delete stray copies, might be of interest.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fuzio1963:
Yeah, i will do research. Thank you. Just found out that this is happening always after reboot. OK, i am going to search now. :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonesyruless:
awesome, this is amazing. is there a way to upload our own custom keys?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
.. make an account, login, click around. It should become very clear.

To quote many others "it couldn't be any easier!"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
hahah that's what I get for responding to quickly! hahah, sorry saw your edit after I hit post reply.

No, unfortunately there isn't. The keys are ninepatch files (.9.png) which I could generate, but there is currently no way (if anyone knows of a way, PLEASE share :) ) to actually "compile" the .9.png files without adding them to an eclipse project, then exporting a built/unsigned apk file and extracting them. There is simply no way for me to automate that process at this time :(

If you, or anyone for that matter is familiar with creating/editing .9 images and wants to make some keys, feel free to upload them here, in a pm, or through the request/bug reporting feature built into the kitchens and I'll happily add them to the library (provided they are done correctly).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] superg81:
are you aking any requests?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Depends on what for, but sure fire away :)
