[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Jabbawalkee created the theme. I maintain it for him. He's moved on to the Nexus S. I'm moving on to the Atrix. I'm seriously considering creating a document detailing how the theme is built and giving it to Jabba so that he can make a decision on whether to hand it out. I know people out there love this theme - I do too - but I'm pretty sick and tired of being spit on, flamed, talked down to..... the "scene" has finally gotten the best of me and, frankly, I have better stuff to do.

Everyone at XDA claims to know how things go but the truth of the matter is that plenty of people DON'T understand what's really going on. Sometimes this theme might not work on your phone for a variety of reasons. Don't like it? MOVE THE F ON. To come into a thread that you don't even contribute to and suggest that it be closed???

Please man. Give me a f'n break. I wouldn't release this stuff if it didn't work tip top on my device. If it doesn't work on yours that's just tough potatoes mister.

Now that you've pissed me off I'll continue my plan to extend my vacation from XDA because all you've done is spit on me by suggesting that the thread be closed. How dare you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
nvm not worth it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
BB, I really appreciate the work you do, and I check in daily looking for updates. I have my phone set up for MB.

I would hate to see support for the Evo come to an end. If it does though, I would love to learn how to keep it up myself. If you have info that you'd like to share, I'd love to see it. Mostly, I'd really like for support to continue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Then get the **** out of here if there's "more bad than good" and quit whining like a little ****. No one is forcing you to make your device look good. Up until last week, BeatBlaster_ and I both tested each of the releases personally prior to releasing and I know for a FACT there weren't issues. We do know what we're doing and the majority of "issues" you report are due to user error.

Most of you need to learn how to respect others. To the few of you who have been cool, amazing, and shown respect and support throughout the life of MattedBlues, we thank you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Thank you so much for the kind words. Even if EVO support comes to an end by myself and Jabba I'm sure someone in the community would step up to the plate and continue the work. I'm just so burned out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
With interactions similar to what just happened, it's no surprise that you get burned out. It's both shocking and sad how unappreciative a person can be for something so professionally done and FREE.

I am sure you have the download statistics to tell you this, but this theme is as good as it gets. It rarely takes more than a page in any rom thread to see an MB reference, and with good reason. Again, thanks for your hard work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
ok dude relax -- your going to need a fresh pair of kneepads the rate your going.

I never said the theme was bad or that I didn't appreciate the work that they put in, if you look back in the posts, I have posted plenty of times on how the theme is awesome, and I continued to do so in the past few posts. I just got a little pissed off as i am NOT the only person that complained about apps missing, and I am not the only person having issues with it sometimes. I never said "the theme is crap, this **** sucks, its garbage" or anything like that. This is also why I sent beatblaster a PM apologizing for my comment, as well as I removed it from the thread. The Theme is amazing, AS I HAVE SAID, and I do support the designer(s), but again, I just had more issues than you should with a theme. THAT IS ALL.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
Whoa, that's just one guy being ridiculous. In theme threads, most of the responses are people saying that they love it immediately after a new release followed by people complaining about bugs. Most people are just happy to use it, experience no problems, and go on their way.

This is probably one of the best themes out there next to the default System theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] m4rk0358:
I fixed that for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
I really appreciate the work both you and Jabba do. I do have a question for someone with actual theming experience. Since so many devices can run CM, have you thought about porting your theme over to CM's theme engine? You would get a huge portion of Android users that way. My question really is just asking if there are any large barriers from one method of theming to the other. It seems like it might be easier for something like CM which has nightly releases.

Also, please disregard the annoying guy who is just butthurt. We all respect and admire the work you've done, don't throw it all away because of one annoying ass.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
I approve.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] agreeler:
I don't mean to be rude, but this question has been answered quite a few times in this thread. As far as from what I can gather from it, BB is planning on making a theme chooser theme, but its not a high priority. The reason he hasn't already is because you can't accomplish as many things with the theme chooser as you can with a flashable-zip.

I'm not 100% sure on all of that though, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
That is 100% correct. Believe me, we'd hop right on if Theme Chooser supported full device themeing (including XMLs and lockscreen). Furthermore, I know BeatBlaster_ and I have both been so busy that we just haven't found time to work on it and figure out properly how to do it. It'll come eventually though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asalott2:
praise is due

You guys are doing a fantastic job on this theme. don't let a couple of bad eggs spoil your hard work. Your efforts are appreciated by anyone who has laid eyes on this theme.

As far as buggy I have used this theme with a number of kernels and different ROMS and I have never encountered a theme issue. I've encountered plenty of ROM issues but nothing relating to the theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] J Snazzy:
Matted blues was the only theme I ran on CM6 full time...it was great...I consistently check this thread to see if they have ported it yet to theme chooser...it is that great. Hopefully the devs keep up the great work :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raistlin1:
FWIW I love this theme and have had zero problems with it. I am new to rooting and flashing themes/roms/kernals and this theme and instructions were as easy as can be.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Thank you guys for the support and kind words. We will do our absolute best to keep it going :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] WrlsFanatic:
As I've said a million times, this is the best theme for any ROM. Don't listen to ungrateful loses who can't make their own themes, likely don't donate, and do nothing but complain.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mizzos4:
Pics proof that MBlues runs great on current CM7 stable...anybody else complaining should just realize it's user-error. Next time, use some common sense since these devs deserve all the respect for their dedicated efforts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
What is your setup....that looks great....ditto on using MB on the stable build. No problems what so ever.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
When trying to flash the .zip in AmonRa-Recovery, I get the following error:

Verifying update package

E: Wrong digest:

system/app/Music.apk

E: Verification failed

Installation aborted.

What does that mean and how can I fix it? I am using CM7.0.3 on a HTC Desire.

e. Is this theme for EVOs only? That would be quite sad :( But it would explain the error message, wouldn't it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
Your problem is your attempting to flash the theme on a desire ... this is for the evo

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Well I got bored this morning and decided to play around with theming a little bit. The outcome isn't perfect, but it's much better than being unthemed.

I'm on Deck's 1.1, so I needed a theme that had been updated to the latest CM Nightlies (2.3.4). I ended up choosing ColorMod.

What I did was to download MB 2.9.1, open it up, and extract all of the pngs from drawable_hdpi in the framework, systemui, settings, and phone directories. Then I downloaded ColorMod, opened it up, and dumped the pngs into the corresponding directories there. Then I updated the archive, copied it to my sdcard, and flashed it in recovery.

As I said, the outcome isn't perfect, but it worked out pretty well. You can see below, for example, that the 4G status bar icon didn't transfer over properly. I actually didn't notice that until I started taking screenshots because I rarely turn on 4G. But many of the things that weren't covered by pngs work out okay since they are also blue in ColorMod (it's the wrong blue, but it's better than green). ColorMod also has some nice transition animations, which is an added bonus.

Here are some screenshots. This should hold me over for a while, and now I've got a flashable zip that can cover me while new nightly builds and updated versions of Deck's come out.

Also, you'll notice that many of my icons are the MB icons. That's because I had previously extracted those icons from the theme and saved them in my LPP backup so that they are always in place for my apps, whether or not I've flashed MB yet.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rageagainsttx:
Looks great! If only it were on HD2 :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
No way for me to know for sure, but I would suspect that the same process I used, replacing ColorMod with a flashable HD2 theme, would yield similar results. Might as well give it a try.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Beejis:
Best theme I've used for my Evo yet, thanks for your hard work!

Would someone try this out and let me know how it goes? I no longer have an EVO to test with.

MattedBlues 2.92 for CM7 nightly 70 - EVO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mistermidas:
I just wanted to chime in and say how much I love this theme. I'm fairly new to the world of rooting/flashing, but I have learned alot of what I know from this forum. Bought my Evo in jan, rooted it in feb, and found cm7 in march. Have tried alot of different roms, but cm7 is easily my favorite.

But back to the point, I have tried several flashable themes for cm7, but once I found this one last month, I was done. I set it it up, left it there and haven't thought about changing it since! This theme is about as perfect imo as one can get. Now, being fully honest, I did have the phone dialer issue happen to me when I did a nandroid restore a couple times, never on a fresh install though. But after I learned to do a backup of BEFORE I installed the theme, and then flash it after, all was good in the world again.

Anyway, I just wanna thank the people who work on/made it. Don't let a couple knuckleheads get you down. People will always find a way to cry and complain about ANYTHING. But when I can get a quality product like cm7, and this theme to top it off.... FOR FREE...you can bet I won't be one off the ones whining about some small flaw. Keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jordan23945bulls:
i will try right now, just doing a back up..

EDIT

well i just flashed it on nightly 70 and everything is looking good :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TruTechGeek:

What font is that? =0
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jordan23945bulls:
The font is called Brie.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Zabalba:
Beat, I love this theme to death. It is the most clean theme for the evo. I applaud yours and Jabba's work on this theme and for free.

With that being said having a few people post about their gripes about bugs when flashing this theme will never go away. Nothing is perfect. I understand you moved to a new phone, and reading your responses it seems you have less interest in updating this theme for the EVO.

Don't do anything you don't feel like doing. I know that feeling of investing in something and only being able to look at the **** instead of the gold you created. At least I would understand if you stopped dev on this. All I can say is thanks for making my sense roms look amazing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nalomo:
any way to bring this to the atrix?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Actually - YES! One problem though. Someone tried to kang the theme in the Atrix forums and the issue is being dealt with as we speak. I'll be releasing a genuine and complete version soon. A few of the PNGs need to be redrawn to handle the higher resolution properly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
For all the people who've left nice posts for us - we thank you! In other news, a special someone out there has taken on the task of porting the theme to the theme chooser for us. Progress is coming along very nicely. More details soon.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ArmyAdams:
edit: nevermind.....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Wazzy:

So I decided to flash cm7 7.0.3.1 tonight...flashed gapps...and the v2.91 all in the same recovery session. After I booted I had no phone or contacts...any ideas what might cause this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jordan23945bulls:
cause its made for CM7 7.0.2.1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Your error was doing it all in one session. 2.9.1 should work fine. Just flash it after booting into CM at least once.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
You have to flash CM + gapps first then reboot into CM. Once CM loads, reboot into recovery and flash MattedBlues then reboot into CM and you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] klept0:
Well I would like to report back that this was successful....thanks to you guys for keeping up the dope ass theme!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Wazzy:
Hey Beat, would you happen to know off the top of your head where to change the 4G icon? Or rather how to get it working correctly? I replaced the files in the res/drawable-hdmi folder but they didn't change and I'm wondering if there is also an XML file that needs to be changed some where.

Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
Try SystemUI.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
I've been meaning to try it, but my own dodgy version of MB has been keeping me satisfied. Anyway, there was a version posted in the comments of the thread a few days ago for the latest CM nightlies. That should work for 1.1.

If you try, would you report back, please?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Okey I gave it a shot, and it seems to be working fine. Only problem is that the themed gapps are not updated, so Google video chat disappeared when I flashed.

Idk if anyone else has had this problem but my phone app is missing after flashing this theme. I've looked all through this thread didn't see any mention of it. I'm running myns 2.2 rls5
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] agreeler:
I had that problem when I originally flashed the theme. What you need to do is go back to your nandroid from before you flashed the theme, then reflash myns. Reboot the phone, and let it boot up all the way. Then try flashing the theme.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

@beatblaster how's the progress of theme chooser version??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Download the theme to your computer, open it up, and extract the icon from the mms apk. It will be in res, drawable_hdpi. Then place it on your SD card, and select it as your icon in LP.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joey_UFC:
is there any way to get rid of the 3d app drawer. thats so annoying
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
What are you talking about?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Really good actually. Jabba and MrDSL have been handing out beta copies to a select few but from what I hear things are going well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joey_UFC:
when you click to view all apps button, the 3d view is sort of bothering me. Anyway to change it to regular list
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
The theme doesn't have anything to do with that. Your home launcher does.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joey_UFC:
i'm using SavageMod. it doesn't have a launcher. if it did i would of done it by now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dfskevinohyeah:
change it by either using launcherpro or adw launcher or else u cant change it.

you can download it on the market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joey_UFC:
Yes but wouldn't that change the MB theme to what ever launcher i choose.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqukyo:
I did not know you can actually use android on a phone w/o a launcher app of some kind.... :p

LauncherPro and ADW/Ex won't really affect the theme. Maybe the icons but you should be able to select the launcher u want to use and then flash the MB theme.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Joey_UFC:
lol ok well there isn't a launcher pro, adw, open home nothing on this rom. But i see what your'e getting at.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You are using a Launcher on SalvageMod. It's Launcher2. I know this because I themed it ;) Anyway, the only way to change the current activity of your home launcher is to switch to another. I recommend ADW EX. It's worth the $3 by far.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
2.92 is not playing very nicely with Deck's 1.2c for me right now. Battery in status bar isn't really working, and there is a strange discolored bar across the top of some screens.

The framework is different in Deck's than what is in 2.92. You would have to take Deck's framework and insert the graphics.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jordan23945bulls:
You reboot your phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Deck's roms are actually based off of CM, so the corresponding versions typically work flawlessly. For instance, 2.91, which was built for CM 2.0.1 and worked great on CM 3.0.1 also worked perfectly on Deck's 1.0 (the latest 2.3.3 Deck's).

Likewise, 2.92, which was built for the nightlies running 2.3.4, worked great on Deck's 1.1 and 1.2b.

So I like to report when there's something to report, and I appreciate it when others do the same.
