Well, no actually I haven't thought about it...other than to wonder if the framework-res would now seem out of place against the rest of the theme. The problem with flash themes, is that every time there's an update to app, you have to make a new package, where as with metamorph, you just reflash the portion of the morph that pertains to the updated app. It's much less

But there's no do the framework-res as a morph. I suppose I could start to work on a morph package for some stuff for you guys. Don't hold me to a time frame though as theming/morphing is not one of my stronger suits. I'll start with primarily focusing on launcher and status bar icons. But there are some other's off the top of my head that need to be changed, too. (text box in maps for instance). I'd prefer not to go too deep as far as app theming goes.

I'm heading out for a few hours right now, but I'll start looking at it either later tonight, or tomorrow.

The zoom buttons by the way are these:

and when pressed and of course the zoom out

C'mon Pendo... you know you love theme work! You told me that yourself. lol :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
riiiight....:rolleyes:

I actually did get *started* on this late last night/early this morning. Basically the approach I'm going to take is to take the manup Nextheme for CM6, and create a metamorph package out of it. This is how all theme work goes for me....I start out with some changes, then you think...well let's do a little more....then a little more. It's like it's always a work in progress. But I think this is the only way to do it properly, so it's going to take some time.

I'll likely make a post at some point that will be a "work-to-date" on the theme conversion. It will contain a download link that will be updated as I complete more sections of the theme. In the nextheme, there are 23 apps to be themed.....to give you an idea on time frame

Hey Pendo,

Was wondering if your 10.29 Miui SCBM would be ok to use for the new 11.05?

Miui 11.05 is now available, would love to use your battery circle mod.

Many Thanks,

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry I haven't updated this yet like I'd hoped, but I'm having issues with metamorph and some 9 patch files I edited. I've fixed some of the problems (my mistake) but I'm still having some issues in other areas. If this doesn't work, I suppose I could prepare an update.zip but I really prefer to make it a morph so that I don't have to update it for RC2, RC3, and then stable....

As far as progress on the theme aspect, I've done about 1/3 of the apps. I don't know how far that is totally, because each app is different...dome only have to edit a few files, others a lot more.

But I'm working on it.:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hey there Gezza,

Yes I'm aware of the new base, but I don't know if there were changes that would make 10.29's super circle not work. I haven't heard from Rod, and the last couple times he's gotten with me pretty quick about modding the frame-res....so it's possible that it still works. I'm really swamped right now with this CM project, so I don't have time to load miui and try the old one to see if it works for you, but you are sure welcome to try :) Just make sure you have a nandroid in case it doesn't. If it doesn't let me know, and I'll try to squeeze in a quick build for ya.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] opelk:
Just flashed your 10.29 version on MIUI 11.05 and entered the boot loop.

Thanks to Nandroid :p and all your work :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK..well, I'm going to take a break from the manup work for a little while, but before I relax too much, I'll download the new miui base and get to work...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
ManupBlue morph update

For those that were wanting more integration of the ManupBlue, here's a taste...plus you can be a guinea pig, lol.

This is but just a handfull of the apps in the complete theme. I've taken some "extra" liberties in changing additional items that the original manup theme did not. Spent quite a bit of time on the power control widget...I think pretty much all of the options are custom now, except for a couple like screen rotate and lock. Hope it looks ok. I thought I broke the battery usage screen in settings, but after an hour of searching for the problem, I found out you need to unplug it from power so it can get some battery drain to display! Ha..

So this will continue to get updated, but I'll make posts when I do. You should already be running manup prior to this, but if not it's ok, as I've included most everything. The Super Circle battery for manup-blue should also be flashed, however it doesn't matter the order this time. But there are quite a few images in framework-res that are called for by some of these apps, so it needs to be in there.

Let me know how this first partial rough draft is coming along...

Metamorph companion file---->click here to go to post 622 :D

<edit>

mine hangs up after it's done applying the them most of the time. Like the menu buttons don't work. But you can do a normal reset with the power button (no need for 3 finger version unless it's really stuck). You want to restart anyway, since it mods system apps....if you don't you won't see them, lol

OK..I just checked...all of the power widget buttons are custom now, except for lock screen, orientation, screen timeout, 3g/2g, and portable hotspot. I think I have something I can put in for the lock on lock screen, but the others I don't know.

MIUI-11.05-SC-verde

That's totally untested, but the miui versions haven't had any issues really, other than the obvious that we can't turn off percentage, yet. Let me know if there's an issue.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Hey pendo your morph worked great
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
thanks.

I've already spotted a couple things that need to be fixed, though. But overall, not too bad I'd say. There was a lot of work done in settings.....I'm glad I finally got it going.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Hey pendo i dont know how good it would look but do u think u can make the google search widget blue?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
:)

Haven't made it that far down the list yet.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Lol ok. It was just a suggestion
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] opelk:
This version works like a charm :)

Thank you Pendo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
yeah, yeah.....I told you it takes a while, lol. I've been trying to stay hard at it...Maps has TONS of images in it to sort through (been on it for a couple hours now) but I'm about done with it I think. Then there's 6 apps left.

Oh, hey thanks for the report. I'll update the op now. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
6 apps left? Which ones?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Whew...I think I'm done. Maps was killer...I knew it would be. With a project of this size there's going to be several things that I either missed, or got over zealous in turning blue, lol. By far the biggest morph I've ever attempted. I'm working on the control file now.

:( spoke too soon. It appears that I edited some png's while in compiled form which of course breaks them. Need to go back through and fix them first..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
Custom framework

Here is a custom theme I put together, thanks to all the help from pendo without him this could not have been done, its basically a mix and match of themes, but the main idea of it was to get smooth animations like the themes in the custom sense roms, and thanks to pendo this has been achieved for download,upload,gps. So it looks good. I also added transparency to the status bar and edited some png files to fit with the status bar. And also I've changed the spinner png files Most of the png files came from the theme devs like Micromod, djdarknight, the ultimate online kitchen, and manup456, and a couple of other devs who I've forgotten, if I've forgotten to give you credit and I've used your work just pm me and I'll give credit. This only works with cm6.1 rc1, I've just started out so I'm a novice here you go

LINK: http://www.multiupload.com/RZP6CPVK11

Again this will only work with cm6.1 rc1 roms
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
^^cool.

Now my turn :D

OK, I mentioned this in my last post, but apparently after countless hours I started to edit compiled 9 patch in Music.apk. Sometimes you can get away with it, others not so much. I went ahead and tested it, and it seems to look ok, although I would like to go back through and do it the right way. Phone.apk had to be taken out, as you get FC's when metamorph does it's thing. It's a crap shoot whether you can...some roms will take others won't. So I will provide an update.zip later prepackaged with the framework-res for that. For now....I'm taking a break.

I'll tell you up front, metamorph will reboot on this theme...it's just too large. This is a known issue with metamorph, but with patience it will apply. There's 22 apps being themed in this release. I'm sure some of you are morphing vets so you know all about it.

*link temporarily removed*
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Pendo that morph isnt working. Its says theme control file is missing
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Uh, works for me. Since you posted that I deleted my old theme folder, and downloaded it this time. Pulled it out from downloads, put it in AndroidThemes and it's running as I type.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Ok i got it to work. Love what u did to the market but what changes did u make to maps? Cause it still looks the same
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Good catch, thanks!

<huge edit here>

It turns out much of what I thought was a horrible mistake on my part is sometimes normal behavior for metamorph. I'm still not entirely sure what causes the double res folders in some apk's, but I've eliminated every possible source of error, file by file, png by png....and still have double res folders in many apk's. So while I still feel bad...I just don't feel as bad :o Still something I should've known so I could advise up front. I'd call the morph 96-97% complete. There's a few 9 patch files that i can't find that I'd like to edit. Then there's small color adjustments that could be fine tuned.

Go to post 622 for more info!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Pendo take ur time an do what u need to do. Im sure itll look great like everything else you do
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] opelk:
Hey Pendo, I think you need to relax.

Everyone is playing with custom rom and custom theme knows there are risks. Nandroid is here for that purpose.

Mistakes happen, it's named experience. So take a break, relax and come back stronger ;)

Again thanks for all your dedicated time and your work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gezza40:
Hey Pendo,

Just wondering if you can make the SCBM like Rod's.

I am using the Stock Miui 11.05. I have downloaded your latest.

But it's Green and red only buy the looks.

Any chance of having version D??

Many Thanks,

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
The only version I have currently is the verde. It requires a bit of modification to get it to look right, and each battery is a little different. I do have the first version that's already editd (except for the 100% icon) but it's just white, like the stock miui battery.

Rod has the new 11.05 battery, but I don't know if he'll be changing it like he has in the past. If I get some time, I might play around with a different version...but presently this morph for CM6.1 is top priority.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Lost of Blue :p

Chris, and whoever else was interested in what I've called ManupBlue...

Actually, at this point while I certainly give credit to Manup for his wonderful theme, I'm pretty sure I've made more changes than he did in the original version. There are but just a handful of his icons that remain in their original state. But I guess I'll keep calling it that, since it was the original inspiration and I hope that he doesn't mind me calling it this. Manup, if you happen to visit this small thread and take offense to this, please let me know and I will change it.

So, as you know this has taken way longer than hoped (they always do). It appears that some of what I was upset about previously with the double folders is yet another quirk of Metamorph. At first, I thought it may have been caused by the -v4 version qualifiers being left in. Then I thought perhaps it was a bad file. Through A LOT of troubleshooting over the last 2 days---I haven't stopped working on it---I have eliminated all sources of potential error one at a time. There are still double folders in many of the apks.

Is the morph perfect? No. Will it work for you? Probably. Here's what I can say....there may still be a bad 9 patch every once in a while. I've spent a long time "cleaning" it up a bit to help control the size, but there's more that could be done. I wanted to post something, as it is functioning well for me at this point, but I will admit there are some files in there that are not edited, but for brevity's sake I left them as is. I primarily focused on the HUGE apps, like maps. And maps, lol. Speaking of maps (and gmail) since these are now market apps, some of you may have gmail located in data/app under the name com.google.android.gm-1.apk, and com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk for Maps. So.....I had to include those as well for completeness. So there will be 2 packages for everybody that don't flash, which ever one's don't match your install. Metamorph will skip those.

The same caveats apply as before with Metamorph, but with my combing through this massive morph, the errors are minimized. Still, I'd expect at least one, maybe 2 vm-reboots as part of the process. I've also packaged a companion flash.zip that has the circle battery (couple color refinements from previous), as well as Phone.apk, and i threw in a new font for kicks :p

Sorry it's taken so long...there's still a couple spots that I can't find the images I want to change, but for the most part.....I touched A LOT of what you see.

**This morph will take a while to apply!!! Several minutes at least!! It's BIG***

Pendo,

When will you have a SC for MIUI .12?

ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gezza40:
Hey Ken,

I was about to ask the same questions.

Just tried the 11.05, boot loop, not good.

I thought it might be the same as 11.05.

So makes themes very hard, as they are going to change every week.

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Geeza,

The .05 SC did not install on 5.12. Looped. Had to wipe caches and restore .05 till pendo has a battery.

I am having sd-ext problems, I believe, with the incompatibility between DT and roms that have auto a2sd.

Trying to sort out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Oh BTW I did flash 5.12 right over .05, no wipes, with no issues as far I could tell. Didn't have time to play with it.

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Pendo,

I like your SC's so much, I will not flash MIUI 5.12 till you have one for it. :D

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
haha....thanks guys. Been dead in here since I got sidetracked with that manup-blue thing. That's been quite the mess....finally found out just earlier that some of the problems I thought I was causing were just little bugs with the release candidate, lol.

Anyway, so I'm waaay behind with everything else. I've spent the better part of the day working on adding the E version battery to miui :) It's on the front page, but it actually looks much better than that contact sheet. That's how it originally looked, but the charging animation was eff'd up. So that's fixed now, and I'm half way done with another edit to improve it's looks. Then I can start on the miui specific alteration.

Oh.....and I just helped that new guy Adam with his boot animation for Rod's rom....I must say, I LIKE it. Sorry, I can't share, but I just sent him off the first run so be looking for that, too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thanks for the update pendo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK..so I just found found the English Pack 2 for 11.12. I should have the verde file up soon.

I've still got quite a ways to go for the E version. I was hoping that it might appeal to some of those that were quite vocal about how they did not like the colored versions of super circle. It's basically a blend of the Smooth Sense black and white battery, but in a C style form.

And I got 1 more battery that I'm working on, too. You may have seen it before, but I've never offered it....don't know how popular it will be though....... it's not a circle. ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Here ya go

----->MIUI 11.12 SuperCircle verde<-----
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Thanks Pendo will now try MIUI .12 and your battery

FYI: The link on op page says .12 but says .05 when you dl??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No...that's impossible. I think you're eyes must be deceiving you. I would never make such a careless oversight.

:p It's fixed now. Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Hey pendo if u don't mind can u please make a framework-res apk for manup blue using metamorph? The manup blue file that u flash don't work with the latest cm nightlies anymore. I really want to use the battery circle an the blue an black in the lockscreen sliders again. Id really appreciate it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
It's all good, I feel great helping a dev ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Unfortunately, I can't. Yes, you can make morphs for framework-res, however metamorph cannot do what is required to add super circle.

Basically think of it like this.....metamorph can replace/swap out files that are already in an apk/jar file. But it cannot add additional files. Well, it can but they would just be sitting there. The battery mod has to be compiled into the framework-res.

Now the statusbar icons, sliders....stuff like that, yes you can morph those in. I never separated anything since I knew I was gonna flash....and flashing is several orders of magnitude more reliable (and less tempermental) than metamorph.

If you are really married to the nightly mantra, then I suggest one of 2 things...either try your luck at UOT, or take some time to learn how to do the mod yourself. I highly recommend the 2nd choice...it does require some patience and a little bit of your time and be not for everyone. But, if you'd like to know more about the mod, you can pm me and I help as much as I can.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Pendo,

Flashed MIUI .12 over .05 the flashed .12 SC Battery, no wipes, no issues.

Looks great as usual! :D

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Id love to learn to do that stuff but dont have the patience for it with my kids running around bein a pain lol if u can do it without the battery circle that would be cool but if ya dont feel like it id understand
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
lol...

I'll be laughing all night on that, lol.

dev...lolol

Thanks for that bro.:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Your Welcome

All accolades are well deserved!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Pendo i just looked up some info how how to do metamorph an its not for me. Its way over my head lol so if u can please make it without the battery circle id glady donate to ur paypal. Id hate to lose the look of the lockscreen an status bar icons cause i love em so dam much an am addicted to nightlies lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Well, I was actually talking about helping with apktool and decompiling so you could put your own super circles on. (not that I wouldn't help with morphing)

Apktool has it's own learning curve too, especially with framework-res files. Like I said though...it's not for everybody.

I'll have to put a little bit of thought into that Chris, as I'd have to do something to replace the stock battery images, so I need to dig around to find something (or make something) that fit's in.

...sure is a shame to lose the super circle though, but nighties are just not realistic for me to support. Remember the UOT has had success with nightlies....their C version is mostly the same..only the charging animation is different.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
I agree it would suck to lose the battery circle but its about more than that with me. I absolutely love what u did to the lockscreen an all the other framework stuff that it would suck not to use it but if u morphed most of it anyways ill always be able to use it even if the flashable one wont work. I wanna use it on the nightlies 245 an up cause they added some new features that i really like. I really appreciate u offering to help me learn how to do that stuff but its way out of my league. Thats why i thank God for smart ppl like u lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
lol..ok. I'll try to have something together late tonight. I have another idea, that might be something you're interested in, but I need to do a lot of research cause it's something I've never done. Tell me, is your computer windows/mac/linux?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Windows an thanx for doin that for me. You are the man! Lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
K thanks. It shouldn't take too long to do it, once I get a chance to start...hopefully late tonight.

As far as the the other project...it may never materialize, but I needed to know that as it affects where I start my reasearch.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
K again thanx i really appreciate it an ill be more than happy to help u with any ideas u have
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Pendo did u forget about me buddy? Lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gezza40:
Hey Pendo,

Many Thanks for updating the Miui - SCBM, 11.12.

Gezza.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
no...but I did fall asleep before I finished it, lol. I'm just about done.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks...and I'm working on a couple others, too:) Also, I've made a new boot.img that enables adb root by default and removed all the Shanghai default time zone info. You don't have to type adb root anymore. I sent it to Rod already as well, but if you want it now, let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
downloading latest nightly to test now...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
New Black and White version for MIUI in op. This is geared for those who didn't like the previous super circles or prefer a more stock look. I think I've got the right tint and highlighting to match with the rest of the status bar.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Ok cool. Thanx alot pendo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
@chris,

OK...try this. It froze and rebooted before it said it was complete, but after reboot and just a cursory check..it looks like it took well.

I've got to go into work for a little while (already late), so I won't be able to address any problems until later, but I'll be checking the board so let me know how it works.

I think the build # was 244 that I just tested it on.

ManupBlue_framework-res_noSCBM
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Ok im gona try it on 246. 244 was the last one that the flashable one worked on so hopefully its fine. Thanx again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
pendo it works great thanx man i really appreciate it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
pendo,

What's different in the 11/14 update at top of OP page from the 11/12 I dl'd one or two days ago?

And what is adb root? I am on MIUI .12. Is it applicable to me. Sorry for a dumb question, but I use Terminal all the time. Hate SDK/ADB if that is what you are referring to.

Ken
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gezza40:
Hello Pendo,

Just wanting to know if you can have a look at the new update used at Miui - English Pack #3C. In the task bar they have changed the Word - Lock Screen to Lock.

I normally flash the Pk#3 then flash your Mod. I think your Mod is over riding the Lock Screen update.

I have included the latest Update, would you mind having a look to see if your Battery Mod can be incorporated?

Also would love to see the more color, like the Rod has.

Here is the link,

http://dphase.net/miui/N1/miui-0.11.12_N1-EN_PACK3c.zip

Many Thanks,

Gezza.
