deodexing took me a couple hours to figure out. ended up need java jre in addition to jdk or whatever they said to use. prior to the ota i had a rom of 2.2 leak that was deodexed so that was my first time and sorta dissapointed i couldnt do it on a mac. had to use my dads laptop since its windows. I was able to root on the mac.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] eraursls1984:
The last step of the manual deodex process where you enter the commands, you enter them on the phone correct? Do I use terminal emulator? Do I enter each line of the commands then enter or the whole command at once?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
no...you enter them in terminal or in this case command prompt on the computer. the first code is adb shell which acesses the phone. then su would be superuser permissions and then stop. i tried this on the phone at first but since when you type stop it freezes your phone it makes it impossible to do this on the phone. i am not sure if you could just enter everything except adb shell and the stop command it might work in terminal emulator.

Uploading Now, But very SLOW :(
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
Is there anyway I can force the handcent font packs to install i'm really missing my handcent font pack 1 lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
It looks like some people using the OTA update may or may have not run into some issues with the mnual deodex process.

Can someone please confirm the process i've found here on xda works with the OTA update our provide instructions on how to do this?

Also if I make a nandroid backuo before I do the deodex procea, when I do a restore thru bootstrap recovery, will I be back to an odexed state? I would prefer to not have to go through the sbf process if possible. Thanks!

If a response to thia seems too long for the forum, feel free to pm me.

Thanka to bignadad and all the other devs who have contributed to this! Your work is phenominal!

Ahhh

This looks pretty Tight :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
updated widget locker
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Conan USMC:
I like the way you did the battery as almost drained. I suggest caring that theme over to the other icons and have the battery outline as orange and for halfway I suggest a type of yellow with the battery outline again matching the interior color of the battery. This is looking very good.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] JDBarlow:
Very impressive! Can't wait to get me some of this!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kgbrown247:

Framework is Posted on Post 1 :)

Many more updates are in progress :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] molivas37:
Just installed and looks awesome!!!! One question........ i installed both services.jar and framewor-res.apk but only the status bar and dropdown are themed. i noticed your lockscreen and google search are themed. did i miss something or have you just not released that portion yet??? Thanks!!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Not released yet... soon though :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
This. Is. Awesome.

Thank you.

Donation on the way...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Thanks... Any donation of any size is greatly appreaciated and keeps me motivated :)

What does everyone think of the battery? it kind of sticks out right now which good be good or bad...

should i make a all red one that goes from light to dark?

Also, i am going to be making many different color varities whenever i can get to it...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
I actually enjoy the way it sticks out. The contrast of colors is just really nice to look at IMO.

And, now that i'm a paying customer, you have to listen to me. lmao jk.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Joe92T:
Look at the batterys posted in this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

they have a variety of different flavors.. the main thing is that they dont just look good.. but they are legitimately functional and give you a battery % readout so you dont need a battery widget anymore on your home screen
[Droid X Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Yeah, I wish we could use those with this. I've wanted those ever since I had my Eris. Too bad the X only updates in 10 percent increments.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] molivas37:
HAHAHA. Just realized it when I looked in the services.jar and found it to be an empty file. Cant wait till the theme is in full force!!!! Great Job!!! Best Theme concept I've seen yet!!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] kgbrown247:
can't wait for the new colors!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Breezer23:
Looks fantastic! Now if only I hadn't just reverted back to 2.1... :(

[Droid X Themes and Apps] schmitty71435:
Hey all i'm on the last step and trying to install the zip. I downloaded the zip from the first page, put it on my SD card, and i put the phone in reboot recovery like the instructions say. Then, i go to install it from SD card, find the file, when i choose it it brings me to rootexplorer or widgetlocker. selecting either of those brings me to another file which when i select that it says no files found. can anyone help me.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] rndmsfree:
I'm pretty sure I've seen the OTA SBF posted somewhere in these forums. Sorry, but I've been drinking and am not gonna search for it. You might be able to, though!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zsg1313:
updated to blu926 version off your ftp site...awesome looking app mods

also i decided to test out adw and LP a bit and this is what i figured out. They both run awesome, the 3d app drawer in LP is very cool, but im more of a fan of the single osx like dock in adw. Speed wise, they are no different.

I actually like them both so much im keeping them both on. Ive seen no performance degradation and quadrant is still upper 1400's. I just placed an icon in each lauchers dock to access the other one instantly, and ClearDefaultHome resets my hard home button very quickly.

2.2 OTA, Droid2 root, Manual Deodex, SerenityPimped
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
That's because you didn't download the full theme. Click on the picture of the color you want and it should download a 40-50 MB zip

Yes, if you make a backup before deodexing and you restore that backup, you will no longer be deodexed.

I think people are making the whole deodexing process harder than it is, just follow this link

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/moto-droi...x-your-froyo-droid-x-allow-custom-themes.html

All you have to do is follow steps 1-9 and you shouldn't have any issues deodexing. Not sure what's going on with the OTA and deodexing and probably won't find out since I'm in no rush to upgrade the bootloader :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I'm a LP fan, seems to run faster on my phone. ADW always has a tiny bit of lag when scrolling through the app drawer and you can't compete with the widgets you get with LP+, especially themed :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] schmitty71435:
So i downloaded the right file this time and when i went into reboot recovery i found the fil under system>media>bootanimation. i clicked yes- install and it says installing update... then my phone freezes. what am i doing wrong?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I don't understand what you are doing :confused:

After you download that 40-50mb zip file, you put that on the sdcard, When it asks which zip you want to install, thats the one you select, should be called BigDXSerenityRed0923.zip or whatever color you grabbed.

Please go back to the first post and read the "How To Install" section if you still have problems, its much easier than me having to retype those same instructions ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
where did you find blue 926?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
All BigDXSerenity 926 Packages are updated on Post 1
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
the file says 623 when i click on it

correction: i didnt realize it was the ftp site he was updating
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Which file? All are reading 926 for me
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i ment that i checked it earlier and it said that i didnt realize to check again until you sent me the pm
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
what changed in blurcontacts?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
This is just the package name that was altered... Another package is also contributing to contacts and has not been skinned yet..

one make thing that changed was when adding a widget and choosing folder, all the contact folder are skinned now to give quick access to contacts

Running BigDXSerenity White with LP+

I'm in heaven.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
The new skins work great. I'll definitely be donating a little something when I get home as a way of saying thank-you. Btw, you wouldn't happen to have the dev contact info for the makers of music-mod would you? I've run across a slew of isolated and repeatable bugs in a deodexed environment and need to submit a detailed bug report to them (issues are independant of serenity theme, so its not your skinning that is a factor).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Anybody using Beautiful Widgets?

eliot.stocker@gmail.com
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
Okay where did my map nav and places apps go with the new update this stuff is gone
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Something went wrong on my end too. I just went to the market and redownloaded the Google map app and that fixed it all. Apparently the navigation reskinning didn't work right.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
how do i get that skin
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i think there was an update of maps the night this was uploaded maybe he used the old version
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
No, i used the one from market that was just updated...

Problem is when you update through market it overrides the apk in system folder... the one in this package installs to system so if you have updated in market it will get confused... i think the best thing is to uninstall updates before installing this theme.. maybe we can resolve this soon...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zsg1313:
Hey, does anyone know which pkg i need to remove to delete the old lightly skinned google search from the previous serenity package? It still shows up in widgets near the bottom of the list labeled "search"

Just want to get a final system cleanup before doing a full backup. Then I'll be testing running ADW and LP with different skins. So far the two have run flawlessly together with the blue pkg on both.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
Hey guys, on manually doing the deodex process with xUltimate, i'm stuck at doing:

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

I get cp:/sdcard/done_app/*: No such file or directory.

PLEASE HELP! I'm stuck in the middle of the process!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Black00StangGT:
Make sure your phone is in charge only mode if its in any other mode it wont work because the sd card is mounted and cannot be used.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zsg1313:
reboot your phone to koush recovery and choose mounts, then mount both the sdcard and the system, then you can run your commands. i had that issue the other day
[Droid X Themes and Apps] chrlswltrs:
I'm loving this theme and all the constant improvements, I will be donating after payday on the first, I really appreciate all the work you guys are doing. Two issues I have with the latest update:

1. The maps/nav issue mentioned earlier, it just disappeared off the phone and had to re download from the market

2. In Slacker the "heart" button - you can not tell if a song has been "hearted" or not, there is no difference in the look either way.

I am using the red theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I don't think you can remove that from the widget selections, I'll check with Big but I think its part of framework or something.

Make sure after you copy the files to the sdcard you switch to Windows Media Sync so the phone mounts the sdcard.

Thanks!

The maps/nav issue is being looked into and should be fixed by the next update, same goes for the Slacker button.

If anybody else catches anything we might have missed please let us know so we can fix it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Try installing this
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Casen:
I love the red theme, and was wonding if it was in the works to theme ChompSMS. I've tried handcent, but never really liked it as much. Also, thanks dev, love love love the theme
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Since neither of us are using it, it will probably have to wait a bit. At this point we are mostly working on getting system apps themed(I think :)) then we will work on requests for third party apps.

I will add it to the list tho...yes, there is a list :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
I still think the messaging icon should have been themed. i did a photoshop of blue...came out pretty good but not perfect. its missing the glow
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
thanks elecga also guys the clock the big one on the desk home when its docked is themed which is cool till you hit the dim the display button then you no longer see the clock at all not sure if you guys did that intentionally or not but i like the alarm clock thing just need it dimmed maybe its only me tho lol

still great work guys and can't wait to actually see nav themed
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
We did some testing and may have found the problem to Nav, hopefully we can get a bugfix out soon for that and some other small issues. I don't have a dock and I think Big is actually still working on that part so i'll leave that for him :)

Which messaging icon? if its for the dock, you can use the one included with launcherpro. The other stock text msg icon in drawer will be themed eventually. Better yet just put it in the dock and use launcherpro to remove apps from the drawer.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stevewitt:
question

Apparently I missed something, what does the BiGnAdAdCustomFrameworkV2.zip

do?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Its just a earlier version of the Serenity theme, it should probably be taken down soon...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] stevewitt:
a couple more questions

@ elecga Where did you find all the icons I see in post 414? Also I tried to install Root Explorer and Widget Locker update.zip with bootstrapper and it froze halfway through the installation.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
thats awsome! all of ur icons are themed! its not for the dock...and its not text messaging. it just says messaging. has the universal inbox and stuff. i use it for email since i have about 5 email accounts and the email icon only opens the default email
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
I just tried Beautiful Widgets and LOVE IT. A Serenity theme for it would be great and not hard to install since the widget itself supports 3rd party theme files. It seems to fit better with my lcd density and row x column count (mine is set to 6x6).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
This is Awesome, gonna give it a try! What's your twitter ID?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
Can you theme Swipe:confused:;):):D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] djtoonjr:
Maps and Nav not installing?

i tried to install Maps and Nav for Blue Serenity but it didnt wanna go through. i tried installing via Root Explorer, Astro and Android Commander on comp. Android COmmander is like an ADB version but like it lets me just view it as if it were Atro or Root Explorer and quick n easy drag and install.

but yeah. i cant install via CMR cuz i have SDCARD Mount issues.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Maps and Nav will be fixed in the next update, just reinstall the stock one from the market for now.

Swype should be included also.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ziost:
handcent

Is there a reason I cant get Handcent to work? Everting else worked perfectly but when I try to install Handcent it just says application not installed.

BTW, the theme is amazing; easily the best out. Thanks for all the work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] shm613:
Does anyone else have a problem loading the contacts? Everytime I try to load contacts it force closes. I am running FlyX 0.1 and Tranquility 2.3.3 but I have also tried it on just FlyX 0.1 and the problem still happens. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
If you have it installed, uninstall first. Also if you have any handcent font packs installed you may have to uninstall those also.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Koroz:
I do not on a 2.2 OTA that I rooted and deodexed myself (not using third party apps I mean, the work was already documented by someone else). I do not have this issue running 0926 green.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ziost:
Tried that. Even deleted everything that had Handcent in the file name and re-flashed the theme. Still nothin'.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Just to make sure, you are going to App Drawer -> Files !BIGDX folder and installing Handcent.apk?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ziost:
Yep. Not sure what the issue is since everything else worked (had to delete original Facebook and LP before the new ones would install though).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Koroz:
see if it gives you an error:

go to the device via term emulator or adb shell, get root and change directories to BigDX's apps folder on the SDCard and type

pm install handcent-package-name.apk (replace the file with the actual file name of course /wink)

then if it says Failure sometimes I have gotten more debug information from the failure when I try to install using the command line package management(pm) command. My issue wasn't handcent it was something else, but it turned out I had some of it left on the app partition of the sdcard.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ziost:
My adb skills are severely lacking. I've rooted using it but that was with step by step instructions. What do i type in to get to root? The rest I can handle.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Ziost:
Got the commands figured out. It says insufficient storage? I have over 6GB of internal storage available. Also, a friend of mine downloaded the pink one (I have orange) and the same thing is happening with hers. Could it be because the them doesn't have the most recent Handcent?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Different folders in root have varying storage size limitations. You can see what they are with root explorer
[Droid X Themes and Apps] icekyoob:
BIGDX is incredible. Beautiful theming, love the color choices. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness!

Fancy Widget problem

Can someone tell me why my fancy widget would want to do this?

Update: Mysteriously fixed itself? I'm happy though, BigDXSerenity is on point
[Droid X Themes and Apps] shm613:
Forgot to add that I am still running the leaked 2.2. I have been waiting for a full sbf before I update to 2.2 OTA.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
We were able to reproduce the error with Contacts, it will be fixed in the next update.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Same here. I don't want to reflash my phone down to 2.1u1 OTA to get a potential bricking through the 2.2 OTA. I'd want a 2.2 OTA sbf.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Koroz:
I didn't either, but I am a tinkerer and I wanted to see what was up.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] isoutsider:
I was having the same issue with Handcent SMS not installing. I could install it from them market but not from the BigDX folder. So I installed the one from the market and then uninstalled it and I was then able to install the one from the theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] catalystsupreme2:
launcher pro 8.0.0 is released will you be updating that?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Yes, next update will have updated apps. Off the top of my head, Handcent, Maps, Launcher, and Pandora have all been udpated.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] aplechaty:
I am not rooted I just want to get the background images and the launcher pro icons is that possible? I am using launcher pro, and widget locker on my droid x. I thought that clock was some type of widget if so would like to purchase it I do not want to Root my droidx as it is a work phone.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] deadpool187:
To Aplechaty

You must be rooted and deodexed to apply the themes.

Fortunately, the clock thing you wanted is called Fancy Widget and you can install it without root. Just download which color you wish(you will have to download the whole theme). Open the downloaded zip file with winzip or winrar.

Next, navigate to the sdcard > !BIGDX folder. Copy Fancy Widget and paste it somewhere on you sdcard. Open a file manager like Astro on your phone, find the app on your sdcard and install it.

BTW after you install the app you will need to long-press on a homescreen and select android widgets then select fancy widget in order for you to see the clock.

just in case you weren't sure what to do with it
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
If i may, i would like to request a few apps be added to the list of third party themed apps. "Blue version in particular!"

'Dazzle' has a great power widget

GMail un-read count

Skype

Rommanager

:DAlso both pandora and handcent are up for update as per the market. Can I update, then adb pull the .apk's copy/replace themed items from the drawable of your themed apk to the updated .apk:confused: Will that work, Heck was that even understandable...lol...:confused:

Thanks in Advance!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
Theme Swype by bad4u6669 works great with this Awesome theme:p
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
Hey guys, been using the theme for about a week now. I noticed that I didn't have the themed swype keyboard (do I need to install myself?) and that all my custom ringtones for my contacts don't work (I used Ring Tone app to download them). Now all the custom rings I had are playing as this really annoying default ring...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Will add them to the list...

Yes you can copy everything from the drawable folders to the new apk... But keep in mind some might be added or changed.... We are adding updates all the time if you want to wait

Our version of swype will be out today hopefully :)

what ringtone app are you using?
