Glad to help...but the last 2 files (Mythamp N1.zip, and Framework-res.zip) are they the same as earlier? If so, could I just push the services.jar from the system/framework on the rom? I kinda thought that's where the white text was...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Yes they are the same files,

I think by changing the services.jar, unzip the attached file, it should work, try it, let me know the outcome!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
well it did change some of the text, but not all of it. The clock is white. But when I send an sms the first few letters that show up briefly in the status bar are still black. Honestly I haven't broken into a services.jar enough to know where all the changes are. I think if you want to go to a black notification bar, you need to have a different framework-res AND matching services.jar

So in your second to last post, is it a different framework-res than what you listed earlier? I don't have anything that can read the .xml files in the res folder.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
I think you will need to instal the blackbar rom or the services.jar i attached on my previous post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
yep...I just tried to push the framework-res from that post on top and I have a black status bar, but now I'm in a boot loop lol....I'll start from scratch like a good boy this time :o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
sorry, you'll have to give me a minute...my sd card is freaking out I think. I got an abort when trying to flash the black-bar rom. Now it won't flash even the standard bar rom that I'd already flashed.

Hopefully I'll get it sorted out soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
PM me your msn/yahoo/googletalk ID so that we can figure this out on a messenger.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
xSunny flash this from your AmanRa, should work!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
It's all good....sorry about that earlier, I'm still learning....;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
FYI guys:

For CM and stock the settings are different but the files still control the same things:

framework-res.apk

- Contains all of the icons and graphics for the notification bar and shade, including the standard notification icons. Some apps have their own notification icons so changes in framework-res.apk won't affect those apps.

- It also contains an xml file that contains the notification ticker colours, the ones that "pop" up in the notification bar when you receive a new or updated notification.​

services.jar

- Is accessed by spare parts/cm parts to change other colours, date, clock actual notifications and notification titles (just not the ticker).

- Is modified in some roms (e.g. mine) so that on first boot the colours suit the dark bar (i.e. on first boot they are white, not black).​

The challenge is that neither framework-res.apk or services.jar are typically transportable across roms. Also, apps like Trackball Alert and succession modify services.jar.

Neither of these files should ever need to be "resigned" - in fact, if you do you will actually break the authentication. But, of course without matching platform signatures they will not work on the target rom.

So, I would start with the base feature-set you want, I would forego any changes to services.jar (and manually change colours if you need to), and I would focus on changes to your particular framework-res.apk.

This will create a problem though in this scenario:

You apply a framework-res.apk with a black bar and you are running stock Froyo - you will not be able to change your notification text to white.

In that case you can grab a compatible services.jar from an already published (stock) rom that has white text and push it across (e.g. Kang-o-rama 0.9).

None of the apps being modified in this thread need to be resigned to be installed. The problem I have with providing an update.zip is the above... it simply won't work for so many people and will break many roms...

Having said this, and I'm not expert on morphs, but shouldn't metamorph be able to do this for everyone without the pain?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tnicko:
Which icons are you using in your first screenshot? Contacts, phone, market etc?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
@djmcnz,

Thank you VERY much for that insightful post. I probably should copy it down and read it a few times to make sure it totally sinks in...

I'm running enom's rom myself, and he has provided 'theme packs' geared towards white text and standard. In another thread I actually used his white-themed services.jar coupled to the framework-res and it worked like a charm just like you said...very nice of enom to include that pack for us.

I haven't played too much with the CM stuff (I know I'm in the minority, but I'm new to android..only had it < 3 months) but I know there's differences there.

Maybe I should look again at the MM program....my initial thinking was that it didn't provide any super useful advantages over a .zip so why have the extra program. I will look at it again. The killer feature that it needs imo is the ability to turn off a theme without having to reflash anything.

So when making a change to a specific program like contacts.apk or mms.apk they dont need to be signed...does that mean I don't need the CERT files in the META-INF folder and just the com>google>android>update-script?

Good stuff, thanks :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xSunny:
I just tryed this and its giving me a error E:Wrong digest :

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kscasper13:
any new developments? this is some of the best stuff i've seen come out of themeing in a while. any chance uf keeping a metamorph file updated? thanks for your great phone.apk and dialer.apk:cool:

btw: this still works on my CM6 nightlys
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Was going back and forth between rod's sense froyo port and stock all this while so did not put alot of work on new icons. But now that I am sticking to stock till all the small glitches get fixed I have made some progress on the settings.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fabioccoelho:
Hi, this nice theme works with Enomther 2.10.2 ROM?

Thanks ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JonInAtl:
Works beautifully with the 'leaked' FRG33 ROM.

LOVE your settings preview pic and would love to have this on my phone
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Geo411m:
Great looking theme. Keep up the good work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ragdoll20:
stupid question... will this work on custom roms on the desire?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Thanks Geo.

No I doubt this will work on any other rom except Geo411m's.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ragdoll20:
that makes me a sad panda..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Updated with new DialPad

Just updated the theme with the new Dialpad check OP. Special Thanks to he_stheone64 for helping me out with it! More work can be done on the dialpad and so will update it time to time.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] player911:
I'm getting errors when trying to flash this. Stopped on Contact.apk

Looks good.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
can you give it another shot? i just uploaded it again! - download and try again please.

Edit: Hope you are using Geo's Rom or else it will not work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] viasat:
Hello

First,thank you for your hard work.I'm using your latest version theme on Geo's Blackbar Version 6.1 with battery % patch ,and I've a little problem,maybe you can help me:the green battery indicator it's so shiny(bright) that I cannot read anymore the white battery percentage (numbers),it's verry annoying.Can you tell me how to revert back to stock (standard) green battery indicator,or maybe you can upload another zip package including this fix?

Tnx a lot

Best Regards
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vickg:
sorry im BRAND new to this stuff and im learning but i just installed CM 6.0 so can this theme be installed? if so How? thanks AMAZING WORK btw!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Tonyc402:
it wont , has to be used with Geo411m's rom , he linked it on his original post.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Flash this one, its not the stock battery but my previous larger size battery design, you should be able to see the numbers clearly.

Updated OP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Isabella02:
That looks awsome, great job:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] viasat:
Thank you for your quick fix,the battery indicator is much larger now,it's a lot better than previous version,but it's not perfect,because the contrast between the white numbers of the battery percentage and the ''lighting green'' is poor.

Anyway,thanks again.

Best Regards
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DerSeppel:
I totally lost track of the whole thread.

Does this actually work on cm6?

Could someone summarize the steps to put this on cm6?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vickg:
Thanks alot!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] big nu:
No it doesn't work on cm6! Geo's stock roms only..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Incredible_Culp:
Are you going to make another theme!? this is one is great.. BUUT (lol) how about something like a minimum theme?? i never had one of those, they look too amazing! :D

This ROM is great btw-- ppl, download GEO's ROM to apply this theme!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Thanks everyone for your feedbacks! Highly appreciate it.

As stated - This theme is aimed at Geo411m's Stock Rom! Will not work properly/at all on CM6.

A new update is on the way with Cooler Tabs and hopefully a slightly transparent Dialpad. The next step for me will be to hip-up the default Music App.

Minimal Theme - Yes they look awesome (but only for a while, in my case they get boring easily as I like alot of color). In my theming experience from iPhone/SE-S700i era, I prefer a more colorful and "apple"-like look over a dull single colored/wp7 styling. So no minimals yet until I have some killer creative ideas flowing in! I base my themes to match as much to the stock as possible - makes it easy for basic users to put their own type of wallpaper/icons instead of forcing themselves to match it with the rest of the theme.

If you have somes ideas or images you want to share, just put up a link and I will go through it - I am aways open to EYEopeners! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DerSeppel:
Would this work on the normal stock rom?

I totally love the font you are using in the OP. Whats the fonts name btw?

Edit: If I'd try to port this to cm6, where would i start? Do you recompile the applications with modified resource files?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
I suggest you give NexTheme from this thread a shot first, it has many of the same elements and was made to run on CM6. You can then mix-around our resource images to meet your requirement. I am using Zune font for the Clock and the rest from the NexTheme. I can pass you the Contacts.apk (dialpad) for CM6 which I made when I was using CM6. Good luck!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
As promised - transparent dialpad and a few tweaks on framework.res
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Incredible_Culp:
Thanks for the reply!.. And yea, that makes perfect sense.. I personally like the "clean" look tho.. but keep up the great work man.. lookin forward to seein more :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] player911:
That worked. I just used v4. I agree on the battery numbers being hard to read. I actually liked the Stock battery/percentage graphic.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
thanks for the work mythamp, it's excellent.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] big nu:
Love your work! Was wondering if you planned to theme the settings apk. icons?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
yup, came looking for a seetings apk. lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Thanks again everyone.

I will be working on the settings.apk, but you wont have updates from me till 2nd week of Oct. (I have a work related conference to attend outside the country, finally my iPad would be of some use, lol)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] papaslime:
could some one tell me how to install this part, can i just flash it from recovery??

:confused:​
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bighulk666:
Looks fantastic.

I tried flashing this theme from stock, not geo's, and my time, date, and carrier are black. Any fix for this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Geo411m:
It's that your services.jar file isn't patched for white text. Look for a program called xUltimate. You can use it to pull your sevices.jar from your phone, patch it and push it back.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vzontini:
Since my post was lost in the 9/25 maintenance, I'll re-enter here.

I suggest both geo and mythamp update their 1st posts to let people know to use this theme they should install a black bar version. The post at the head of this thread is confusing because it says use geo's stock rom but if you do the text for bar won't be the correct color. You actually need to install the stockbar version, then the black bar update, then the mythamp theme.

Appreciate the rom and theme. Thank you for the work.

PS: I'll repeat the questions of a few others, as I'm a theming newb. How does one use the Dock/Fonts/Icons in the mythamp.zip file? If there is a link to additional information that you would recommend that would be great. Cheers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
The Dock is for Launcherpro's Custom Dock background.

The icons are for any application that allows you to select custom icons, eg Better Cut etc. Launcherpro also allows changing of icons for dock shortcuts, you can use them there.

I suppose the fonts can be used for other programs that allow the changing of fonts.

To use them, just copy to SD card. Applications that allow you to change icons and stuff will prompt you to select the picture file you want, so just select using Gallery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeadlyData:
Will this work properly on FRG83 or do we have to wait for it to be updated,

Sorry I'm new to it and I've tried to do it without wiping and I don't wanna have to wipe again if it messes things up I have Geo's FRG83 stock ROM flashed with Amon_RA's recovery 1.8.0.1
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vzontini:
Thank you musashiken for the information. I'll look into LauncherPro and Better Cut to learn more.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] remizik:
Hello :)

this theme is so beautiful

Can we hope that it will be available for a Desire on CyanogenMod ? ;)

This would be awesome :D

Thanks and bravo for your work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
And could you do one for Enomther's rom as well?

Thanks! Love this theme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Hey Mythamp,

Which files are responsible for the Black dialog boxes and the Black Volume change popup box etc?

I am trying to put those in Geo's Blackbar addon but no luck so far.

I would just flash your theme but I need the percentage in the battery icon.

Tried to put the 125 battery pngs in your theme but it did not work. It only shows multiples of 10.

So I am going the other route, tyring to make Geo's stock look like yours.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
Thanks, just go for it mate. If you need any files in particular just pm me, though you will find all of them inside the zip. Upzip the framework-res and just dig in.

The Dock/Icons/Fonts are a seperate bunch just in case you wanted to experient by yourself. fonts are already included in update file but in case you just wanted them you could adb push them inside. Icons - using Bettercut and the dock for Launcher Pro ofcourse.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] P30TiP:
Yes it will, after you wipe and flash stock FRG83 (Geo411m), just boot up your device once and pass the setup to get to the homescreen. then go back to recovery and flash the theme, everything will be fine!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
This theme is sick. The best looking phone/contacts screen compared to the others floating around.

Can you please look into the following when updating:

1 Change the phone dialpad from dark blue to matte black (not glossy like other themes, that's ugly :) )

2 Include the statusbar background transparent patch which will make the dropdown menu below notifications transparent. The services.jar has to be updated I believe.

3 Include percentage battery .pngs. I can provide all 125 .pngs. Looks like something else has to be enabled for the detailed battery icons. Right now you only have like 10-15 icons.

Looking forward to your next update.

Cheers
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avio07:
Can this be used without rooting or using cyanogen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] yvg107x:
+1 for battery percentage :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mythamp:
will work on the battery percentage for the next update!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ~~Tito~~:
Where do you get the sense clock?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avio07:
Can this be done without rooting the phone? Please reply! I have a stock rom, and I just want this theme or black out my notification bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
You need root to make any changes to the framework.

If you don't have root, your only option is to use launcherpro to hide the grey statusbar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Mythamp, you can use these icons if you like. Place them against a black background to truly appreciate the beauty, especially the Gauge icons. These are made to gradually change color from Green to Red.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avio07:
Is there any one click root for FRG83 ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
No, you can use rageinthecage exploit. Do a search in the forums, there are plenty of threads on how to root FRG83. None as simple as one click root though I'm afraid. Even the dev of androot has confirmed that one click root will never be possible for FRG83.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avio07:
Ok so I finally rooted my phone successfully but I'm unable to download the file and rename to update.zip and flash it in recovery it gives me an error saying:

I downloaded the file from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7164403&postcount=10

What am I doing wrong? I'm a newb to all this rooting and flashing themes, but I really want this theme on my 2.2.1 stock rom.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The file you downloaded is only a mod for the phone and contacts app.

Anyway, make sure you have root first. Get a root only app and see if it asks su permissions.

To install any addons you need a deodexed rom. Stock 2.2.1 is odexed.

Goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714184

This is the ROM that mythamp's theme is for.

Flash FRG83 Stockbar v1.2 and FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2

Come back and get mythamp's theme from the 1st post of this forum and flash that on top.

You can use ROM manager to flash all files, it's super easy and make a backup every time you flash something new. If any catastrophe strikes, you can restore your backup.

Hope it helps.

I did what you said, updated the version, didn´t install any maps on the sd card. And said that my license is expired. eheheheh

May better to install Navigon. Can I also install the maps on the sd card?

Thx

Try Sygic Mobile Maps 10
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
Wisepilot totally sucks, bad interface bad graphics, no voice.

Navigon looks good, just like iGO with lane informaton, voice as well.. Currently downloading and will test it..

Sygic doesn't look too great, but at least its got the basics....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] draven187:
Navigon looks good, for what I saw last of it like 2 or 3 year ago. Going to test with this too, the only thing is I only have the milestone right now. My brother is going to buy the X10 mini pro so I would be a good thing to do some research first.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] heinz_pt:
Navigon

Installed yesterday Navigon. I've tried this morning on my way to work, looks pretty good. But I'm a rookie with GPS's.

Nice thing, is that indicates gas stations, farmacy's and toll's.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ganstakillerz:
Co-pilot & SE T9 problem

Guys,

Install "Anysoftkeyboard" from Android Market. Set it up so it's the default keyboard instead of the Sony T9 rubbish. It's very accurate for a qwerty keyboard but what's more cool about it, it works full with Co-pilot :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
As ganstakillerz said AnysoftKeyboard is good and also Better Keyboard is a good alternative, full qwerty and very accurate in portrait mode.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Try Smart Keyboard.....

Its great and the best keyboard i have found till date...

Even better than any soft keyboard
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Guys I used GoogleMaps Navigation last night to go to London and back, it works really well I am VERY impressed. Very easy to change route and the MiniPro screen is BIG and CLEAR to use the app perfectly for navigation. VERY happy about this, because my old phone was a Nokia E72 and I loved it because of OVI MAPS. I think I won't even try other navigation software on my minipro UNLESS they have speed camera database included (which GoogleMaps does not unfortunately :()
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raiderkilo:
Sygic is better than Navigon.Navigon is nice on screen
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I tried Wisepilot today and it worked brilliantly. In terms of quality, for me, so far it's a coin toss between GoogleMaps Navigation and Wisepilot.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] heinz_pt:
GPS power. I've noticed one thing.

The X10 mini GPS loses signal very often, it seems very weak in terms of find the satellites. Is this the same it you guys?

Example.

I have a E52 from work and i'm in the office, the E52 can find my position using OVI Maps, the X10 mini can't, using Navigon.

Is this a problem of X10 mini or the GPS Software?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I have a minipro and use google navigation, I find the gps very strong and very fast, accurate - quickly finds sattelites and locks. My Nokia E72 was not this fast it took about 1-3mins to lock but was also strong once it found a few sattelites.

Was using it today driving in London and didn't lose signal in underpass or short tunnels - that impressed me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] heinz_pt:
Ok. I have a problem because google navigation uses 3G connections, and in Portugal, we pay alot of money to have a decente 3G plan.

That's the reason i use Nagivon, because i have the maps in the sd card. I just want to use the GPS connection, when i'm using the GPS.
