Going Good... Just updated to Newest version just released and working all the colors now.... Hope to have all colors released today
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
I hope so too..hey just curious: theres a glass launcher that reminds me of the osx dock on my mac so i use it. are u making that one colored too?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I really want this theme and this theme only.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Have you tried multible colors? where on your sd card do you have the zip?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Also try following this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8250419&postcount=260

or Bigs first post, the section called This is How I Have My Device Setup and follow each step.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
Yes I have. I tried it on /sdcard/, then I tried making make a new folder /sdcard/themes/. I tried not renaming it, then I tried renaming it to update.zip. I tried booting from both Bootstrap and Rom Manger and nothing has worked. I tried elecga's method (with two step 6's) and that doesn't work. I read some people had similar problems (not with your theme) and they said just let it do its thing it looks like it's froze but it hasn't. So I'm off to take a shower while I let it do its thing.

EDIT: After I was done with the 3 S's it still hasn't done a thing. I starting to think your method doesn't work with the 2.2 (2.3.15)

OTA

. Can you make a ADB method for those of us that are having this problem?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
For what its worth, I had it installed on the leaked 2.3.13. Others have reported same problems as you before the OTA came out today so I dont think its the differences in the OTA. Try going back a few pages in this thread, someone said they figured out how to solve their problem, try pming them.

And now a shot of the new lp widgets :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
We won't have to modify and resign to get the launcher pro skins will we? I'm SOL if that happens, as resigned apps won't take when I try and install them after I do the modification and resigning.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
If you have to PM someone about resigning it for you. I could do it for you if worst comes to worst.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zsg1313:
Just wanted to say thanks guys for all the work on this. Definitely some very cool design on these themes.

just to share my updates on this

Had this working on the leak and successfully sbf back to 2.1 then did the ota update followed by the droid2 root method. Followed the deodex guide and loaded up your theme with no issues except a scary long boot.

Also for anyone having issues with widgetlocker and the slider appearance I just used the home buttom for unlock and added the "dialer" and "setting" on a new slider to match up the colors. Not very creative and you lose the slider unlock function but it may appeal to some.

Cheers!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
No, we have skinned the new version that was released yesterday with the new friend widget. You will have to uninstall that version by going into Settings-Applications-Uninstall. You will then be able to install the themed version with all new updates.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Thanks! It's nice to hear that it is working on the OTA update! Please try to stick around and help troubleshoot some of the issues others may be having ;)

Nice setup btw, but I would be afraid of pocket dialing if that unlock went straight to a dialer, but thats just me :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
SWEET! I actually am running adw atm, with LP uninstalled waiting for this. Ads has actually been really nice, but the DB widget won't display updates and I miss the scrollable twitter widget. Hopefully LP will render the screen as well as adw has in 5x6 mode at LCD density 200
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
How do I install the frameworkV1 from the second post? I duno what to do
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Isn't 200 the default lcd density? I totally forgot about that new feature but I did just try setting it to 5x6 and I stretched a widget and Im pretty sure its 5 wide and 6 high and looks pretty darn good.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Nope, 240 is the default. Adw seems better able to handle the new rows/columns than LP dies, though. But I'll just tweak build.prop and LP till it works right. Though fancy widget does NOT like being resized by either to anything other than 4x2

Edit: not a fan of live wallpapers as they suck CPU resources and also drain battery. Is there a static image in the offered colors of the d2 live wallpaper available?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Not but I will help Big to provide static images in the different colors. Did u want a image of the Droid 2 Eye WP in particular?

And once you get setup please share you lcd density and lp row/column settings, im curious...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Will do. And yeah, static of the D2 eye, like in the screenshots. That seems to be the wp that gives the best background contrast with the fancy widget while keeping with the color theme.

Right now running adw, I'm running 5c6r at lcd density of 200.

I'll play with LPplus (now I need to dig up the email with my activation code on it.... good thing OSX's mail app is nice and searchable and fast :) ) when y'all have it ready.

Also, be prepared to dump battery life widget when increasing the lcd density. It will only display correctly when you have compatibility mode (changeable if you have the spare parts app downloaded.... free in marketplace) turned on, and that's no bueno if you don't want your apps running in a window instead of in full screen.

Bat stat is a better widget, IMO for increased pixels on your screen b/c 1) it's a 1x1, and 2) while not near as pretty as battery life, it is not affected by your lcd density changes.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
the Droid eye shouldn't be a problem to do. Ive also been playing with this static image, I can make other colors to match theme.

If anybody knows who made this image please let me know so I can give credit.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Any estimate on when the skinned LP apk will be available for download?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Today!! Hopefully in next few hours :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
LP and more will be included in the next Update!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Will LP be available individually or do I need to do another theme recovery/install to get the new app packages?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
We are implementing a new way of installing theme.... More to come in just a bit....
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I would recommend all Launcher Pro users to upgrade to the new 0.7.9 version before applying the new Serenity updates, same goes for Gmail. Both updates should already be available in the market.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
I'm getting REALLY antsy here :P :) I can't wait.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Me too, I think you guys will be very happy with the new updates! I think Launcher looks great and I was happy we could get the new Gmail app updated.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i noticed updates make the non-themed icon come back. will that happen for all updates?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
This will be updated in the first post later today...

These apps might not be able to updated through the market. You should be able to uninstall the themed version then download the new version from the market, you will of course lose any theming. You can also wait for the new version to be rethemed and released.

***These should minizmize any installation problems when applying Serenity versions of these apps***

GMAIL

By now, ALL users should be on the new version of the Gmail app that was released yesterday. If you are not sure, goto market and search for Gmail and make sure all updates are installed.

LauncherPro

All users should go to the market and download the new LauncherPro 0.7.9 update that was released yesterday.

The new update includes themes for both these updated versions. We are working towards a release today. :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Well I got LP from the market, but I'm going to hold off on running it and setting plus back up till the serenity theme comes out.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
well, you can backup your screens and key but you will have to redo the widgets. at least you dont have to enter that pita code :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
It's more a performance issue. When both adw and LP+ are running (even when only one is active) it really turns both into stutter machines. I'll wait to 'run' LP+ till after i uninstall adw, and i won't do that till LP+ is released for serenity. They both just DO NOT like coexisting on the same phone. At least that's been my consistent experience.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Wait for next update ;)

Can anybody who upgraded using OTA, post what version of Swype they're on?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
OK I have the newest Rom Manger v2.0.3.0 but the ClockworkMod Recovery said it was v2.5.0.6 even the newest was v2.5.0.7. So I reinstalled it and got ClockworkMod v2.5.0.7, but this still has not fixed my problem. If I use elecga's method ClockworkMod boots in v2.5.0.6. Really that method make zero sense.

1.64.40.9380

_______________________________________

OK I've put 2 other themes (not BigDXSerenity) on here using the same update.zip method. There is something wrong with this theme if I can do it with other themes then that means it is your theme that is not working.

Why don't you guys make a ADB method.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
You upgraded with the Official OTA, correct?

you got pm btw
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
Yes I did. I did the .sbf then the OTA. Never had any leaked 2.2 before that. Cache Mate stopped me from installing the OTA so I had to .sbf. While trying to install this if I press the Search key nothing happens. So it looks like it freezes right off the bat.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
Are u deodexed?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Thank you for everything you and Big are doing...any eta on what's next?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Thank You :D

As a matter of fact yes I can give you an eta....It will be out by midnight EST. It will have a much easier install process and I think it has quite a few nice additions.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Oh HECK YES!! Now it's time to pop in a blueray disc, get some work done (gotta love it when one's provided work computer is a dual-booting laptop and the guy who you report directly to says "sure, feel free to work from home"), and wait till 9PM AZ time :).

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
You guys are the balls lol ...trying to download now. Thank you!

Not letting me download...trying to get blue...others work...but not blue

UPDATE: Got it to work...there is a %22 at the end of the download link by mistake.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
What if we're installing from the 0918 release? Can we just pull the apps we want out of this build's .zip and apply them, or have there been changes to framework made as well?

EDIT: there is a typo with the blue pack's url. Somehow a " character made its way into the url string. I got the package anyway by manually copying/pasting and then deleting the extraneous character, but I still figured that you'd like to know.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
You should just install the whole package
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Too many people downloading!!! It's going at 24kb/s
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Damn that sucks.. Thought it could handle more than that
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Well worth the wait...it bumped up to around 35kb/s. So I am guessing this will work with launcherpro plus?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Yes. Just read instructions. You will now install all third party apps yourself
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Ok...I did read it when you posted it...wasn't sure about the plus though.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Yep. Just install and it will replace existing
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
rebooting...that boot animation was a nice surprise :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Launcher Pro won't install. I tried other apps to see if they'd install and they do. But LP won't install. I open the file, choose install, say okay to overwrite and it tries to and returns "application not installed."

EDIT: i haven't set LP to LP+ again yet, though. But I tried wiping cache and that doesn't do it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
It worked fine for me...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
What color?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
I installed the blue package.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I just installed blue and it went fine. Are you running a version of Launcher pro before 0.7.9.0? Either case uninstall it then install Serenity's copy
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
I also installed blue and it worked fine. ...Looks awesome
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Does fancy widget install for you guys in blue?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
I downloaded the latest version on the market. That's 0.7.9.0

Edit: I uninstalled and now it works. :) Time to uninstall ADW. I'll miss its transparent horizontal scrolling app drawer, though.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Good to hear you got it working...is the blue fancywidget installing for you?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Yes...I had it before though.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Can you try going into files !BIGDX and try installing it again?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Just did...works like a charm.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
ADW seems to not be able to be uninstalled, unfortunately. Not sure how to remove it. But I don't need it on my system (I can always reinstall it from !BigDX). Do I just delete the .apk from /system/app?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
blue serenity update handcent, dropbox, twitter all fail to install don't know why tried everything no dice
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Here's what you wanted: SCREENS!! :) Running 3 screens, 1 dock with lcd density of 200, and screen row/column adjustment of 5c x 6r. Memory settings are set to light and light cache.

On screen 3, I resized the messaging widget to protect against sensitive information (I don't currently have a cheap drawing program on my computer with which to black out stuff).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Yes, you should uninstall the old version of ADW, open up root explorer and do a search for ADW, should be traces in systema/app and /dalvik-cache and /data/data, also might be a copy in /data/app. Just delete all traces, reboot and , reinstall the new veriosn on ADW.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you saying nothing is installing? Please follow installation instructions in first post. If all else fails, Do a sbf then follow "Links for How I have My Droid X setup".

Please don't sbf if you upgraded using the OTA.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Nice Pics! Why not use the themed Music Player? Also google search widget coming soon ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Actually, the new version of ADW worked fine. It's just that I'll be using Launcher Pro for here on out. I don't need ADW sitting, waiting to go active on my system.

Because Music Mod is a more capable player :). I like my album art. I put alot of time into collecting it off the net and getting it applied to my music, so I want to see it while I'm playing music. Now if y'all could do a skin for it and leave in the album art, GREAT!!! :) But the stock player doesn't do album art and other things that Music Mod DOES do. So I'll stick with Music Mod :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] 17akota:
Will this work on the OTA 2.2 as long as im Deodexed?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Have not tested on OTA yet..... Please Provide feedback if you try....
[Droid X Themes and Apps] 17akota:
Ill try green right now. Ill post feedback.

would really like the 2.2 sbf file before i try this. lol

[EDIT] Just downloaded the newest green flavor, and found a SBF file. Starting the install process right now.

[EDIT EDIT] EPIC WIN!! Just installed the newst version green flavor and it works on 2.2 OTA rooted and Deodexed.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
I am running blue serenity on the ota 2.2 make sure deodexed obviously but it works only a few programs will not install or update like handcent not sure why
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
install was fine just the third party apps refuse to install mostly handcent i even uninstalled it still no go says application failed to install everytime and yes i'm on the ota lol don't worry only sbf'ing will be with the 2.2 system sbf
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
if you have root explorer, try doing a search for handcent and delete everything, except the one in !BIGDX :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
tried this to remove adw...can't delete anything...all read only...not a big deal though
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Just mount folder as rw. Then delete or rename as .bak, which is what I did.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
okay had to uninstall all handcent font packs too then it install now the problem is i can't install the font packs back in. I'm gonna assume you didn't sign handcent since it don't show up in the market downloads either right.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
All apps are signed. If they weren't we would be having alot more complaints from people. If you want a surefire way to install all apps then please follow the install instructions in the first post exactly, starting from sbf.

Again, if an app doesn't install, uninstall the version you have and you may have to delete all traces of that app as well. You can then install the Serenity version. In most cases though, you should just be able to install the Serenity version on top of the running app.

We really tried to make this new install method easier :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
As SirBrass said, you can either mount as rw in adb shell or root explorer(easier) and delete any files.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Finished up Youtube and Slacker today (I think) so I may start on Music Mod next. 4x1 is the only widget that needs skinning?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
worked perfect after hours of trying to deodex. never done it manually i gave up wen i did the leak 2.2 and found a rom already deodexed so was my first time
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Yes, but buttons for all widget sizes need skinning, and possible skinning 'accents'. I'll post up screen shots of all widget sizes on a bank homescreen with a d2 live wallpaper as bg and let you decide if additional skinning is worth the effort :-)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
It will be fully skinned for the next update...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
That works.... perfectly :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zsg1313:
Just want to get some opinions here. For those of you out there which launcher do you use with this theme. Adw seems more responsive to me but it just may be im more familiar with it. Does anyone have any proven speed tests or drastically different quadrants on the 2 launchers?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i like launcher pro
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
I like launcher pro. ADW has its pluses, but LP+ really does meet or trump them. I've found BOTH to be quite responsive on my machine provided the other isn't trying to run at the same time as well (such as when using home switcher).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
I use launcher pro as well it runs great on mine.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
BigDXSerenity ☢ Froyo2.2 Custom Theme Experience ☢ 8 COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM!! ☢

This goes out to anyone who can help me with this, as I'm still not super familiar with the whole deodex process the the effect on the phone over time. I love the Theme that bignadad has created, its absolutely incredible, but just want to make sure I have a fall-back plan if I ever have plans with the phone..

If I take a backup of my phone with OTA root, and then go through and deodex my phone and meet all the requirements for the theme, can I reverse what I have done by going back to a previous nandroid?

Just covering my bases in case I need to take my phone in or anything in the future.

Thanks to the community and bignadad for all that is contributed here! I'm sure I speak for many when I say I really appreciate all the help available here.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
to be honest I was not going to root or deodex my phone until I saw this theme...its AWSOME!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Koroz:
I am running rooted, Deodexed (Used the method in this forum, but I left the odex file it tells you to erase because it didn't error this time). Running Big Droid X Serenity Red, and Ive tried Blue and Purple all have worked fine using my own skinned Launcher Pro and the matching color Droid2 livewp.apk on OTA 2.2.

I had zero issues with updating to 2.2 OTA after I sbf'd from a rom 2.2 to 2.1 and let it upgrade me normally. Then I ran the droid 2 root method, and the deodex process. Everything has worked fine including both Koush's apps and TBH's app.

I wish I hadn't upgraded though because I like to tinker, and until I have a 2.2 SBF I feel a bit worried to try anything more then this. =)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] eraursls1984:
Me neither. I've rooted the 2. 2 OTA, now I just need some clarification on the manual deodex process and ill be ready for this theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Okay new theme is READY!

Will be uploading in just a few and will be up in a few hours :)

I do want to say that this theme takes an HUGE amount of my and elecga's time. We are pretty much working side by side on this project and have much planned for the future... More extensive Serenity, More Themes, and Probably a ROM... with that said ANY donation is appreciated and is a very good motivator to spend more time with these projects....
