Hey Guys,

I'm using Ubuntu and dont have ws (not that i miss it). Is any chance to have a Linux version?
[Android Themes] :
i couldnt imagine it to be hard....i would do it, but i have to make 4 roms and 1 themed apk tomorrow...so i cant
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
There is actually a linux version floating around on this thread.

Its only good for porting 2.0+ themes to 2.0+ roms and same resolution.
[Android Themes] cloudsdale:
Well not sure where I went wrong but tried porting my old theme which was for the x, and went into the Old Folder framework. To theme from nexus, which went into the new folder. I then copied the new folder files over after running script and went to apply and couldnt get past my moto log in. Anyone know?
[Android Themes] :
just a quick nota about the linux version floating around, you have to enter in some commands to fix permissions:

cd ~/theme/

chmod +x Script.sh

Do you think it is possible to port the darkedge theme to a sense rom htc desire ? it has been already made on the cyanogen 5.0.6 on htc desire.the thing with darkedge theme, is that that everything has been themed..the xml too, so that all backgrounds are black and text white..please let me know if you have an idea or could bring help..if you can do that, a good donation will follorw :)
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Hey,

Xml's are not ported with this script (only pngs/.9pngs).

As for porting a aosp rom to sense rom, well certain aspects will work, some won't. Doesn't hurt to give it a shot though. For xml's, you can always manually bring em over and see if it works ;)

This won't work for 2.2?
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Why not :confused:

It'll work for any firmware, its more successfull when ur theme / rom are both the same firmware, in which case u can use this on anything from 1.5 - 2.2.

so help me out here... tried this today, had all the right apk's in all the right places.. when I run the .bat, it just removes all the images completely, gone! Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? lol
[Android Themes] workshed:
nevermind, found the beta 2... I used the one on the op page. Really should think about updating that puppy with a link to the latest ;)

thanks for the work, going to see what happens here...
[Android Themes] workshed:
Ok, still need some help here. Everything ran this time with beta 2, but it isn't theming framework-res.apk as far as I can tell. All I could get was 3 apps themed, and not fully either. Trying to take a lithium Pink life theme and port it to froyo 2.2 for my wife... which option should I choose? Pink life was made for FRG01B, I'm porting to the Eris, so, different firmware... there's no option for that so I'm wondering, can anyone think of a workaround?
[Android Themes] shanesol:
I'm having some trouble here and was hoping for some help. I've downloaded the latest theme porter so i could port the Invertnito theme from sapphire to CM6 on my droid (you can download the theme from droid life). I've put the themed files into the "old" file spot and my CM6 files in the "new" folder, then run the script. I've adb pushed the files, turned them into an update.zip and flashed them, and tried to use root explorer to replace my old files, but nothing changes. I think I've read everything right, so what could be wrong?
[Android Themes] workshed:
Well, it seems he might be working with someone for a .9.png resizing script type plugin, from what I can gather. The beta only resizes the .png's not the .9.png's , which have alot to do with the phones overall "look" (like the input buttons, dialer, facebook, gmail and so on) which is why you don't really see a change. That and you could be choosing the wrong option (if you don't have 4 options when you run the .bat, then you're using the old version, not beta 2) you can find beta 2 here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7522401&postcount=69

I dunno, a good dev pointed me to this so I could get a nice pink theme out there for the ladies so i was trying my best to get it to work for me.

Hope some of that info helps you. I'm still trying to find out more, because this is a freakin' incredibly great idea and very appreciated work.
[Android Themes] Vonrottes:
quick question

I pulled the /system/framework from CM6 and i also went into droidEris2G1 .zip and pulled out /data/framework

Will that even port over?

I'm trying to port the Droid x (Nonsense) theme from the Evo to Cm6 for the Sprint Hero. Any suggestions? I have not been able to port a theme from or to the Hero. I did port from 2.1 evo to 2.2 evo, but on the Hero, nothing.

All it says to everything is the System cannot find the file specified. I tried three different hero roms with and without themes and three different Evo Roms with and without themes and tried to port both ways with no luck.

[Android Themes] SiNJiN76:
Awesome....was hesitant, but used it without problems...I didn't even nandroid! Ha!

....I tried to do another...and it just hangs on the first item.

...nevermind...I guess I had to delete and re-add the app/framework folders first.
[Android Themes] sneaky_zekey:
any directions on how to use this
[Android Themes] AndDiSa:
As described in the original post, i.e. create a directory and place the script inside. It should be sufficient to start the script once and there will be created some sub-directories. Within the "old" directory place the application / framework-file from where you want to copy the images. Into the "new" directory copy the files which shall be themed, then start the script. The files located within the "new" directory will be updated and can be modified further, if needed.

All in all very simple ;)
[Android Themes] claude96:
works like a charm for me,thanks

PS : any chance for a script to change animation as well !?

WTF just happened!?

So I just decided to port a Galaxy S theme for my Hero from a 2.2 ROM to another 2.2 ROM. It was only a matter of a few apps, no XML mods and framework-res.apk so I figured I would just run it through this tool and did I get a surprise:
[IMG]http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5475/deviceb.png[/IMG]

And the weird thing: the update package did NOTHING to my launcher (LauncherPro) but it's not working and the apk is still in system/app

And the really weird thing: everything else works fine

And the really really weird thing: the power control widget is in the service area WTF!?

And the really really really weird thing: it's ****ing working xD

And the really really really really weird thing: it's not in any way a feature in the ROM + the script does not copy XMLs.

It looks like I'm going to be doing this port manually :p

So how on earth did this happen??? It's like really cool, odd and annoying at the same time:eek:

Seriously man how the **** did the power control widget end up in the service area??? This is like the oddest thing that has happened to my Hero evaar :p :eek:

LOL:D

Okay shows out it was a feature in the ROM. I need to read posts before posting :p

Hi guys,

I'm preparing for the upcoming 2.1 update for SE X10 mini pro which is currently on 1.6. I would like to know if there is any stable script in this forum to port current 1.6 framework to the 2.1 framework as i got lost throughout the thread with all the betas haha...I'm really loving my current theme and i can't imagine having blues all over again, would appreciate any kind help...

Thanks a lot.
[Android Themes] AndDiSa:
I am not so an expert in theming ... where and how animations are stored? It's enough to copy / replace them? As long as it is only unzip, copy, zip there should be no problem to extend the script.
[Android Themes] claude96:
Where? in framework-res.apk ( res\anim & res\drawable ) I think !

how? xmls files , copy / paste would work for same firmware , but I was hoping to do it from a 2.1 firm to a 2.2.1 firm ( with keeping the special animation that froyo have, like the way it connects to usb for charging or card reader )
[Android Themes] AndDiSa:
At the moment I tried only to provide the same features as the windows version. Transforming XML-files or copy parts of XML-files should be possible, too, but I need a deeper knowledge of the XML structure and probably a simple shell script is not appropriate for that ...
[Android Themes] phiredrop:
Any chances of a Mac-friendly version? :)
[Android Themes] :
XMLs can differ from android 1.5 to 2.1 and from ROM to ROM so that could cause some trouble.

Ok, I'm a long time reader and big tech freak. I've gotten everything up until this point of theming. I've pushed some transparent apk's, got a custom rom, made custom icons but i'm not exactly wrapping my head around the changing of files so i'm just going to flat out ask a couple dumb (assuming) questions. First off i have droid incredible..redemption rom 2.0.4. So, with this tool i'm assuming i can take a theme for any rom or phone (todays Custom ‘OG’ DROID Theme: Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.8 from droid-life) and port it to my redemption rom? I'm not one to ask lame question because I know how to research and learn but for some reason I can't make sense of this. Plus I don't have any friends that get into this kind of stuff so help a player out. Willing and able to donate

[Android Themes] abu_noah:
If you want a Droid x theme for your Eris then check out the Droid x port I did for the hero. It's called Hero x. Download the theme and then use the theme porter to theme your Eris from the hero framework because I already ported it to mdpi. It should work good then. It eoes have some other customizations that I did but its closer than what you got now.
[Android Themes] abu_noah:
What exactly are your concerns? Lay each question out specifically and I will answer you.

Dude I always had issues trying create themes file by file. But this with the auto signing program I found. I am using the blue steel elegant theme with the latest CM 6.1 . I did it in under a hour.

Is there is any way i will able to make it look normal size

First of all thankyou very much for the awesome tool. I was succesfully able to port the HDPI theme from Nexus one to MDPI device spica.

After porting my icons and pngs looks big. Please find the screen shot...

Is there is any way i will able to make it look normal size ?
[Android Themes] fifthstreetjammer:
Well my concern is the theme I like is a vanilla rom theme and my rom is sense so some of the apk's will not have the same name, therefore I'm assuming won't theme. Also I'm not fully understanding what to do with the folder after I've ran the script. I saw in another thread by op about the update.zip tool but when I try that i get the "java was not found, you will not be able to sign apks or use apktool" and I know I have java installed.

I've also read in threads where I can just open an apk from a themed version, open up my non-themed apk and swap out the files? I was thinking, can I just unzip some roms and pluck the apk's I like and sort of build my own rom if you will.

Thanks for responding and any help man:cool:
[Android Themes] abu_noah:
Yeah, if you use the theme porter, with a sense and non sense rom you will get only a little of the theme ported. You can open up the framework-res.apk of each and pluck out the parts of the theme you want and switch them to the unthemed framework-res.apk, but if they have different names you will have to rename them. and you can also switch out apps like you asked.

as for the folder after you've ran the script, it depends if you are just making a theme or a theme that's already built into the Rom. If you are just making a theme then create two folders called system and META-INF or better yet take the META-INF folder from another theme made for your rom, in that way it will already contain all the files inside. Inside the system folder put the framework folder that contains the newly themed framework-res.apk. Now download RegawMOD Zip maker install it and then run the program. create a working folder and close out the program. put your system and META_INF folders in the working folder. Now run the program again and select keep working folder/create update zip/create signed zip/give it a name and follow the directions from there. you put it on your sd card and flash it over the rom.

But doing vanilla to sense and the other way around means you will most likely have to manually switch out the png. files. if you get confused i'll try to help further.

If you are trying to create a rom with the theme built into it then after you run the script, take the framework-res.apk and put in in the rom's system/framework folder overwriting the old Framework-res.apk. Take any apps that you themed and put them in the system/app folder. zip up the rom and use something to sign it. I use this: RegawMOD Zip Signer And then just flash the rom. but doing

[Android Themes] fifthstreetjammer:
yea it is a bit confusing but ill get it down. i am just trying to replace apk's within someones rom so not sure which method i should go about. im thinkin just downloading the rom, unzipping it, going into the system/app folder and either replacing the whole apk or editing it. is that something that can be done and along these lines we are talking about? i havent dl'd your programs yet because im using apk manager and trying to keep the confusion down a little. so maybe you could put some clarity into what i just described because i think im making it harder on myself and just adding to the confusion. after i get that clarified im gona need help with this java thing i cant seemed to get answered. i keep getting "java not found you will not be able to sign apks or use apktool" error, and the one answer ive found involves adding something (i dont know what) to the path in enviornment variable. until that gets fixed i wont be able to run anyones scripts properly. thanks for your help again man, its gettin clearer:cool:
[Android Themes] abu_noah:
you can download the rom and unzip like you said and remove or add apk's to the system/app, but you have to be able to sign the zip so, you can flash it. just google java 6 and download and install. what OS are you using?

I was trying to port the theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726912

To newest CM 6.1 RC1 for HTC Legend.

I used the Porter successful I guess. But if I am trying to flash the rom ( I have putted the output files from folder "new" to app/ framework of rom. After that I have compressed the folder with replaced apps/frameworks to zip and signed it with stericsons auto signer.)

what do I have to do to make it flashable ?

Thanks in advance for this awesome script.

Refer to my signature for making a flashable update.zip ;)

Ok thank you this worked :) But there is nothing from the Theme ported to the new rom :( no indicator of anything of the theme. Can you help me ?
[Android Themes] :
Thanks for this. I can finally get some themes for the newest CM6.1 on the inc.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Best way to test is always just push one of the apks and see if it worked.

So try pushing framework-res and see if it themed.
[Android Themes] Westi01:
Ok I pushed framework res and it didnt work! Do I have to try to port it with hdpi to mdpi option ? Thanks for your awesome apps and support!
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
So are you porting a hdpi theme ? is it different firmware ?

Cuz if ur porting a hdpi theme to a mdpi rom, it won't transfer unless specified.

Also are you pushing files from new folder ?
[Android Themes] Westi01:
The Theme is Froyo 2.2 and Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1 is based on Froyo 2.2.1 I don't know if that matters. I think it doesn't. And I don't know if its a hdpi theme but if i am not using the option for porting hdpi to mdpi it is also not working. I will try to use the Build from the Theme which is for legend only. See if it works.

Thanks

Edit: didn't worked :( Do you have any ideas?
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Wait you're trying to port a sense theme to a stock rom ?

If you just link me to the rom/theme i can clarify a few things
[Android Themes] Westi01:
I have linked it a few posts earlier though but no problem. I don't think this is a Sense rom. And I am running CM 6.1 RC1.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Ok. This should work 100%

Are you getting any errors when running the script ?
[Android Themes] Westi01:
No Nothing.

Edit: To clarify: I am copying only the framework-res.apk from Theme-Porter/new/ after applying your script to the ADB folder and pushing it to my device with this comands:

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mdblock4 /system

exit

adb push framework-res.apk system/framework

adb reboot

ok illget back to u. ill try it.
[Android Themes] timekeeper:
Nice, I just spent the last 3 hours trying to get it to work with no effect, although the phone frameworks-res showed my changes. Then I tried the CM 6.0, not the CM 6.1rc1 version of the theme (something you might want to look at http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8579-update-blue-revo-theme-plus-green-orange/), and it worked for the status bar (toolbar, background, notifications icons, button backgrounds), converting to CM 5.0.8.

But some of the changes didn't, such as the dialer, and the theme had blue backgrounds for the window title, and the notifications in the pulldown were still white from the original vanilla theme, as well as the oranges in some background buttons.

I'm pretty happy with the notifications bar icons from the theme though and differences are probably to be expected going from android 2.2 to 2.1. Let me know if you need more info, cool work!
[Android Themes] Westi01:
Ok thank you. I am waiting patiently for your reply :)

[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
Ok heres what i did :

1. Took htc legen cm nightly and put the framework-res.apk in new/framework

2. Took theme framework-res.apk and put it in old/framework

3. Ran script and selected option 1

Framework was themed (I dont have a legend but i extracted and the images had been transferred.

Try revising your steps to those described above.

Let me know

Edit : Also try relocating theme-porter to another folder. Perhaps c:\themeporter. Sometimes windows blocks certain scripts.
