Ok. I'm on linux also, i'm batch optimizing the apk's.

Dunno how i can create a signed package.

The package is around 33% smaller :-)

I flashed the normal ElegantSteel and lost Superuser permissions??? wtf
[Android Themes] Hund:
Im using a simple script written by a swedish user to sign files: http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=15104

Another user had the same problem with the root permissions, I have flashed the theme like 50 times and never had any problems? I have no idéa why it happends for you? :( Its just replacing the icon. You could try to remove the superuser APK-file.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Lol how in the world are ppl losing root permissions :S

Anyway, Hund if ur having problems, let me know i'll compress n upload it.
[Android Themes] mainstreamer:
Hmm that's strange indeed...

Really want to use this theme, and maybe another font ;-) that would be superb!

My swedish is not so good, so i've absolutely no idea what to do ;-)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Ok Hund, i just realized in ur theme update.zip ur including a lot of files that are not necessary (eg SuperUser.apk). That might b causing the problems. So just include the files that u themed and there should b no problems.
[Android Themes] spiritcrusher33:
That may be why my Su go broke on my phone after flashing this!!!..lol oh well willing to try again if he fixes it.. as i really like that theme
[Android Themes] mainstreamer:
Ok, i removed the superuser.apk and i compressed the png.

Zipped the files and signed it.

Hope it works.

Will report back :-)

Don't really get the files signed lol :-)
[Android Themes] Hund:
The SuperUser.apk includes an custom icon, just like the rest of the apps.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Hmm nvm then. Could it be that users who are losing root is because they were using su 2.2 and the one in the theme is 2.1 ? cause the su binary is different and not compatible with both.
[Android Themes] Hund:
Oh. I added the wrong folder by mistake. It should just be the icon but I've included the whole APK-file instead. That would explain why it works for me, but not for others with other ROMs.

I'm so sorry for that mistake. :(
[Android Themes] mainstreamer:
Hehe that is bad :D but luckily you found out :-) great.

Hope we can get the package soon... :D
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Well u can always use theme-porter ;) I used that to run it on cm 5.0.8 and have had no issues.
[Android Themes] mainstreamer:
Thanks for the tip, but it's windows only :-( to bad..
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
True, but good news, a xda member is porting it to linux. he should be done soon. ;)
[Android Themes] mainstreamer:
Good to hear.

But it to port version or through different roms?

Versions right?
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Its to port to another rom. So themes are no longer *rom specific* and don't need to be maintained, think of it like an alternative to metamorph.
[Android Themes] jadephyre:
Can someone who has already ported the Theme to other ROMs port it to CyanogenMod 5.0.8 for Magic ?

I tried it and I can't get it to work (Phone wouldn't boot)
[Android Themes] Hund:
Have you tried the theme port app? Its here somewehere in the same category.
[Android Themes] jadephyre:
yeah, I did, phone wouldn't boot anymore... I posted that on DA a few hours back.

I go by the nick "silverhammer" there ;)

HDPI Port

Since I did not find any HDPI ports of this beautiful concept, I`m close to finish it for my Milestone. Here you see a few screenshots, but there is still a lot of detail work to do. So if there is any interest, I can post it here once I`m ready. All my other themes are usually here:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-milestone/31492-themes-he_stheone-fuer-2-36-a.html
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Awesome he_stheone64! Of course, a lot of people are interested in the HDPI version! Please post your wonderful work when it's completed.

BTW, very nice themes you got going over at the German website!

http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-milestone/31492-themes-he_stheone-fuer-2-36-a.html
[Android Themes] deanesn:
maybe an early beta? :p
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I made pretty good progress so far - the only issue for you porting it might be, that there are some xml and services modifications plus resources edits especially in contacts in order to change the wall, but I trust that the contacts should work anyway on most Eclair devices (not on froyo - we MS users are still behind). But I could advise guys who want to port it, how they can achieve the custom background.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Changing the wallpaper/background in the contacts.apk stumped me as I didn't know which xml or other things to modify. Can you please advise?

Also, where can we download your beta version of ElegantSteel?

Thank you!
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I forgot to mention, that the theme also includes a png based battery hack I developed together with a friend from our forum mattmaso. This basically "abuses" obsolete pngs from 2.01 in the framework and delivers 10% battery steps in the notification bar (usually Milestone only shows 20% steps). If your phone has the same issues, then you should look into my stat_sys_battery.xml in drawable for the correct code (I also tried 5%, but the phone at least did not support that for me).

For the music mod all the credit belongs to Elliot Stocker.

For the dialer background I modified a technique, where the initial credit belongs to the Dark Edge Team (mine just worked better for me).

You need to edit styles.xml in resources and call_background.xml in drawable

In styles you need to edit this part, this also allows you to have a completely transparent dialer background, if you set the transparency to 0% for btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png.

<style name="DialtactsTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">

<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/btn_dial_textfield_pressed</item>

<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>

</style>

For call_backgound:

<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />

<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@android:drawable/keyboard_background" />

<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />

Please keep in mind the theme is not completely ready yet, but it works pretty smooth already as a beta. Please also try to keep the framework slim, since this is my trademark. All my newer themes have a framework-res, which is appr. 15% smaller than stock for additional speed. This theme is certainly zipaligned - so once you port it make sure you also do it (I`m sure you know it anyway).

Update - new notification icons for vending, gmail, mms & calendar plus new Beautiful Widget Skin, fixed Market stars bug

New Update 14.08. - new settings, darker clock and improved data icons

[Android Themes] r0ark:
Very nice work he_stheone64! I will try it out!

I see how you modify the dialer. I have a question for you. I would like to modify the dialer buttons background to be bigger, so the gaps between them are very small. Is this possible? Please see attached images below. Basically, I would like my current dialer to look like the Windows Phone 7s.

I've tried to make the buttons background or overlay png to be bigger, but it pushes the dialer off the screen. It seems that some value in some xml is controller the dimension of the buttons.

Thank you!

My current dialer

WP7
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I did not try it yet, but it should definitely be in the dialpad.xml in layout-finger

This is the code, where you can edit width and height of the buttons:

<ImageButton android:id="@id/two" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:layout_width="88.0dip" android:layout_height="50.0dip android:src="@drawable/dial_num_2" android:soundEffectsEnabled="false" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_two" />

So you have to edit it certainly for all relevant buttons in this xml.
[Android Themes] r0ark:
thank you for your suggestion but I am not having any luck. Here's what I've done but everytime I tried to push the modified Contacts.apk, the phone app does not open.

1) adb pull the original contacts.apk

2) decompiled it (i'm using ApkManager scripts) and all the images and xml files are spitted out in a folder.

3) modified the values you suggested in dialpad.xml using notepad (on windows 7)

4) recompiled (no signing) and then adb push contacts.apk back to /system/app

5) but when I open the phone app, it says that it's not installed but contacts.apk is in /system/app

6) in order to get my phone app working again, I push the original/backup Contacts.apk back to the N1 and my phone app works.

I've also tried to push YOUR Contacts.apk to my phone, but it didn't work either. I'm using CyanogenMod 6 RC2.

What am I missing? Please help...
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
4) recompiled (no signing) and then adb push contacts.apk back to /system/app

After recompiling replace the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml with the one`s from the original contacts.apk, then it will work. Again - after this step don`t forget to zipalign (your battery will say "thank you").
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I like the color you used, nice project... hdpi?
[Android Themes] :
I see my good friend from the Milestone also made it here :)

SInce I "migrated" over to the NX1, I am forcing/tempting him to convert his themes to our NX1 :) Wish me luck :)
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
That`s a side project, when this is ready and done...

Here you find the new settings with updated Token icons - the DroidX icons did not really match the distinctive theme.

http://www.zumodrive.com/share/6NpVYzAwNm
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Thanks for the tip on the meta-inf and androidmanifest.xml. Now i'm able to push it, but modifying the values in dialpad.xml didn't affect anything. Any other suggestions?

thank you very much!
[Android Themes] r0ark:
Nice work he_stheone641 I agree that the weborama token icons from deviantart fits better with this theme.

Also, I'm using Cyanogenmod 6 RC2, and I pulled the Contacts.apk from your package and push it to my N1, but it didn't work. I copied the original meta-inf and androidmanifest.xml to your Contacts.apk before I pushed it. No luck.

So, will your theme/package be compatible with CM6rc2? Do I just run the install script "ElegantSteelOR_install.sh" from the zip? How do I install your theme?
[Android Themes] r0ark:
I'm made some headway. there's another dialpad.xml to edit.... no quite there yet.
[Android Themes] Tainted:
I take it these dont work on CM6 running on a Desire?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
No - but now after all the hard work is done, other themers here can use my Milestone (which is the EU Droid) to port it to other models. By the way - here is the latest update with the new settings, slightly darker clock and improved data icons.

@ Jedispotty - I launched the theme here and certainly included credits and link to this thread

If you are ok with it, then I would open a thread in the MS / Droid theme forum here. Just let me know. I will also do a port next week based on FRF91 deodexed Nexus ROM. I basically do this for a friend from our forum, but I will upload it here too, then ports with theme porter to CM will be fairly easy.

[Android Themes] r0ark:
Just wanted to share the new dialer (Contacts.apk). Thank you he_stheone64 for your help!

The attached Contacts.apk is modified originally from the CyanogenMod 6 RC2 for the Nexus One. I haven't had the chance to update to RC3 yet. If you are running this, then just push it to /system/app/. Before you push, do "adb remount", otherwise you can't write it to that partition while the phone is running.

* You can change the background and/or transparency level by modifying the file "btn_dial_textfield_pressed.9.png"

If you are running other HDPI phones, then you have to copy your Contacts.apk's META-INFO and AndroidManifest.xml to my attached Contacts.apk before you push.

NOTE: For /system/app stuff, DO NOT sign before push.

@he_stheone64

Does the theme that you linked to on mediafire work with CyanogenMod 5.0.8 ?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
Looks fabulous and I`m happy that I could help :cool:

and great, that you you could change the dialer, as you needed. Which xml did you finally edit?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
No - this was designed for a Milestone. But now that the HDPI version is out, I`M sure you will see ports soon (I´m doing a Nexus version soon anyway)
[Android Themes] deanesn:

[Android Themes] pongster:
Would you mind attaching your framework-res.apk as well?

[Android Themes] ripgut:
This is looking really nice guys. Any chance it will be available for CM6 rc3?
[Android Themes] r0ark:
1) I edited the dialpad.xml in /res/layout-long-finger and changed all the paddings to zero dip in order to remove the gaps between the dial buttons. Also, in this directory, there's another file that you can change so that the entered text field is larger and therefore moves the elements below it down. Forgot which file, but you'll see.

2) And then, I changed the dimension of the file "btn_dial_normal.9.png" (also ...selected and pressed) so that they would fit on the screen.
[Android Themes] Prettin:
Looks great. Hopefully the dev's at Google are going to make it easier to apply tweaks. :)
[Android Themes] pongster:
Thanks. His screenshot looks different from the one I have. I'm using this framework already. The battery. Doesn't have the percentage and has lines instead, etc.

any reason why you changed com.android.contacts.ButtonGridLayout to com.android.phone.ButtonGridLayout in the dialpad.xml?

Thx - I found the other one, it was really obvious :cool:
[Android Themes] r0ark:
I'm not sure what you meant by your questions above. I only changed some xml files in Contacts.apk. I didn't change what you mentioned above. Maybe it was that way from Cyanogenmod 6 rc3 since I pulled it from my N1 after I updated it to CM6rc3. They ported the contacts.apk mod from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623205
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
ok, then I understand. I left it at contacts and everything worked fine. I`m not using it right now, but when there is a fitting theme, that mod might come in handy...
[Android Themes] digitalhater:
How do you install this on a normal build? Is it possible?
[Android Themes] :
Guys,

FYI - He_stehone64 and I are in the process of porting this to the Nexus based on CM3. Given the fact that he actually doesnt have a NX1 (we both came from the Milestone forums, where he ported the theme to) but I do, we need to work in parallel - well he does the work, I beta-test and modify it to fit our NX1 CM3.

It could take a little while though as we have a day-jobs as well :) So rest assured this is WIP.

And I am also working on my own theme in parallel and since I am not a girl, multitasking is somewhat difficult for us :)

todo:

- allign battery percentage indicator in statusbar

- Include new icons in APKs as much as possible

- Some work needed on the contacts/phone.apk

Other than that we are pretty "green". We will release the theme as beta for CM3 on the Nexus One once we are ready.

Noob question

How can i go about making this from the PSD? I never made one before and am a complete newb, but am willing to learn.
[Android Themes] :
it is actually there :) but for whatever reason we cannot allign it with the background image for charging properly, it is off by around 10 pixels (so the percentage is misaligned to the right). we now need to go back to a status bar with white icons for now, and are a little out of ideas.

but at least we fixed the contacts and phone.apk :) only one more bug to go, but that one is really annoying :)

[Android Themes] themapleboy:
if you look at the post above yours you will see what is possible for the g1 so far

the font is called Sony Sketch i found it through google and the dialer is a galaxy s style dialer found here -> http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5293-theme-galaxy-s-style-dialer-for-rc3/ it doesn't fit the theme quite but it is much nicer than the stock dialer
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
Thanks a lot!

Although I don't think the font you used for the icons is Sonysketch... I mean the icons in your app-drawer. Also the BattStatt, Browser, Calculator, Calendar etc. font... ;)
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I believe it's because the font isn't suited for our phones.

I can either remove the font for the theme or it'll just have to stay that way :(
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
It's not the font as I also saw it using other font(s). The problem is some textfield png's are "wrong". Height-wise that is. I just replaced them with the stock images and it all looks fine again ;)
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Theme is now in the market, updates include:

Better HDPI support (We were using MDPI images before, but now there are actual HDPI images)

Moar icons

Smaller size

Just search ADW.Elegant (Unfortunately, you'll have to uninstall any wersion you already have as they are signed with different keys)
[Android Themes] srh.pres.usx:
Ahh, that explains the package sign error I was getting. Thought about doing that... Looking good... only graphic thing I noticed new was what appears to be a greyish box in the middle of the google search widget, doesnt stand out much though. And I switched back to 4 column drawer which made the text boxes for the icon labels larger - and this seemed to fix the font issues I saw earlier.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Grey box? Would you mind getting a screenshot?
