You may be able to answer this question for me big

Im currently using the XSense theme for my phone for the sense notification bar.. everything on it is perfect except for one thing... i would REALLY like the green filling of the battery indicator to be blue instead... how can i go about changing the green insides to a lightish blue? Wheres that located at
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
its located in the framework-res.apk

simply open the framework-res.apk from XSense theme in winrar

goto res/drawable-hdmi and extract all contents

there you will see the battery images (stat_sys_battery_0.png - stat_sys_battery_100.png)

open images in photoshop

adjust hue/saturation

drag altered images back into the res/drawable-hdmi inside the framework-res.apk

then use adb shell to get back to device

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

Phoxus claimed that he was aware of a blur-less rom coming out in 1-2 weeks

Good to know... Thanks :)

Hey Big,

Switched from TP2 about a week ago. Loving the new toy. Way too new to this whole droid scene. Can you help a brother out and point me in a good direction to wrap my last brain cell around the whole mod'ing thing of droid life?

BTW, how do you operate the device if you don't have blur/sense on it? use Launch PRo or ADW? (sorry for such noob Q's)

Apreciate your help,

crashDAU

[Droid X Themes and Apps] Conan USMC:
If my wife ever gives me my balls back I may have to try this out. The DX is my first droid phone and after seeing many of the guys I know mess with them I have to say I will be doing this. Once I update with the official OTA of 2.2 I will start work on bricking my phone. I have to say I am really impressed with how you have mod'd so far.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Breezer23:
I absolutely love your notification bar! I'll be keeping up on this theme. Looks great!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
Looks great! Any ETA on this?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Finializing theme now.... Any Input?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
I am pretty sure I can get Big to work on a launcher pro skin...that's what I use as well....

Glad everyone is enjoying it...Big and elecga are working their butts off.

Cheers!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Ask and you shall receive, well not quite yet...;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Black00StangGT:
Haha awesome really cant wait for this one now...looking forward to using this one when its released. :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] coupe68gt390:
Launcher Pro

I LOVE this theme. Installed the Red, but really want to give the blue a try! You guys freakin' rock!! Keep doin' whatcha doin'!:D

As the other posts about Launcher Pro, add me to the list of people that want to see a skin/icon set for it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I believe Big mentioned that there will definitely be more apps skinned once we get the major stuff sorted out with all the colors.

I was just taking a break after my last post...off to work on purple.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] maizekidstill81:
+1 here too would really like to see the launcher pro skin.

+1 on blue being finished.

+100000000000 to this theme work you guys rock!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Whoever requested silver, I think this is the closest you're gonna get for now...

Off to bed for me!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] araldo:
I noticed that after I installed the new zip that a few icons are not skinned anymore. For example, the dialer icon. Anyone else notice this?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Blade765:
BLUE

Blue please? Pretty please? Pretty please with blueberries on top? :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
ALL Are Coming TONIGHT!!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
That is awesome!!! You even have the silver and orange that I asked for!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
So, I'm really jazzed about all this happening (even with the temporary delay due to storms), but I am a little hesistant due to one thing:

I don't want a FULL theme, ie. framework + apps. I want to get the framework separate from the apps, and then get skinned apps individually (or at least selectively install them over top what I have right now).

ALso, with the skinned apps, can they still be updated OTA from the market without removing the skins?

Anyway, as to my first question: will this option be delivered as well, or is it only going to be a full package for each color at the moment? I just want to theme up launcher pro plus right now along with the regular android framework. Then I'll add in the skinned apps that I already have the regular versions of.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
All you will have to do is open the zip and remove the apks that u don't wont installed.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
Good to know, thanks.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Breezer23:
OMG! Orange. I <3 you! :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Get downloading!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
I dont see a link to download any packages
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Click on the color you want
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i got an error. 425 Error 0 selecting socket for connection
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
If you're trying to download from phone it might not work, otherwise links look to be working fine...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
nope...from computer. its a mac...could that be it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
my windows computer says this:

The connection has timed out

[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
which color?

Do you have a firewall thats blocking ftp?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
tried blue and silver
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
I got them to work thanks...blues awsome...some things r still red cant wait for that.

white or silvers pretty awsome too.

I have a thought. the messaging icon should be blue. its one of the major apps and with the red theme it worked cuz its red anyway
[Droid X Themes and Apps] araldo:
Links don't work from phone. Tried dolphin and stock.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
I will be updating download links to http instead of ftp.... Will let everyone know when its compete...

This will allow you to download from anywhere
[Droid X Themes and Apps] araldo:
Thank you guys!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Links are now available via http

download directly from device :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] araldo:
Is it just me or was the dialer icon skinned before and now its not?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] arayba:
all smiles here

This is Just awesome you are a great Designer and Dev Awesome just Awesome

thank you thank you thank you Purple is looking good
[Droid X Themes and Apps] djtoonjr:
!

Will you be also editing the FancyWidget weather/time widget?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] exiled18:
Just installed the latest red version and I love it! Great work.

I was just curious though, I really like the colors in the signal and battery of the old V1 release. Is it still possible to use it? And if so can it be installed without ADB?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] citanes-26:
Like this? I pulled the images from the custom framework & installed with ninja morph.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Here's a look at what we've been working on...coming soon ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
Did you ever do widgetlocker and root explorer in colors? Launcherpro looks awsome!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
OK, I think I did something wrong. I downloaded the blue unzipped it and move the apps and the framework and services.jar files to the SD card and performed the steps in post 2. After a long reboot I see the blue notification bar and blue slider to unlock but nothing else seems to have changed. I attempted to go into explorer and run the apk files but they stated the application failed to install. Am I missing a step or two? Never mind I missed a step retrying the process.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] iamthericker:
Launcher Pro looks great!!! I can't wait!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
I'm not seeing the download for the colors. Were they pulled or am I just retarded? I got Framework v2 installed but can't find the colors. Time to go read 20ish pages of posts unless somebody beats me to the answer! Thanks in advance! :)

-Jax
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Just hover over the color you want and click.. its within the image
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
doh! Thanks!! Would LOVE if you could talk to Koush to get these included into ROM Manager (even if it's only the paid-for version to get you some beer funds).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Give me just a minute and i will post :)

EDIT: Well, it might be tomorrow now... Sorry :(
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
thats fine lol...just confused cuz it said u were gonna put them up and i didnt know if there was a diff place i should have looked.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
I second this. I would love to see this in ROM Manager.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
Is there any thought about theming the swype keyboard?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Yep, probably soon after LauncherPro gets done...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
BigDX curious if you'd be willing to do all the icons in the app drawer for me and maybe make some custom ones like for handcent and some other stuff i think that would be sweet like a custom app icon pack
[Droid X Themes and Apps] djtoonjr:
id pay him or the other developers working on here to get this to happen. i would love to see every App icon the same as theme. :) Great job.

i have a question tho. i applied everything via ADB. (cuz somehtings wrong with mount in recovery) and im not sure if i deodexed right(i went ahead and just clicked...5? Pull all files and deodex![i think]) what im seeing is the color of the time and date(im using white theme btw) are still black. could not rightfully deodexing be the cause of this?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Yes, not deodexing correctly can cause that. You should be following the directions in the first post, including following the link to manually deodex your phone. There's only like 4 or 5 steps and using option 5 in XUltimate isn't one of them ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
All WidgetLocker & Rootexplorer skins are Posted on Post 1 :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i like that rootexplorer and widgetlocker are customizeable. I was able to use the blue one and put white icons since my theme it white. the 2 look good together. I also made a blue droid "eye" icon if anyone wants it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pinhead875:
The white theme looks great! I'm trying to install via CMR and it gets hung up on "Installing update...". Then I pull batter. What am I missing here?

I'm running 2.2 with the latest tranq, and an Onix theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Steeleio:
Same problem I'm having. I even tried renaming to update.zip
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
Just curious...do you think launcherpro will come out today?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
I love this theme, I just have one issue. Before I installed this theme when I would check my gmail on my phone it would also toggle the read tag on the gmail.com site. Now when I read it on my phone or the site it only toggles the read setting on whatever I used to view the email. Is this something to do with the modified gmail file?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
any comment on making this happen or not.

also on the blue theme is the connected bluetooth icon supposed to turn green just curious as it doesn't fit and with the various colors is the stock multi-touch keyboard supposed to change to like the red theme you started with
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
This theme shouldn't affect gmail functions, only things that were changed were cosmetic. Is anybody else noticing the same problem with gmail?

and no, LauncherPro will not be released today...soon ;)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
I have been thinking of doing entire app drawer skinning but would require many packages and a big update.zip. thinking about a rom but time will tell

On the off colors, that was something that slipped by me and will be fixed in next release :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
I spoke to Big about it today, and we are looking into making it happen :)

Not sure about the bt icon but that sounds right, and yes keyboards should change colors to match the theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksmitchell:
Bummer, trying to figure out what is causing this I may play around with removing different .apk's from the zip. If I find the one that is causing this if any I will let you guys know. I will also try going back to my original settings before the theme and see if everything works then just to eliminate the theme all together.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
.bat is a windows batch file. OSX doesn't know how to handle it, and it couldn't even if it could read it. .bat contains windows command lines, generally.... dos commands.

Now if we knew what commands were contained in the .bat that might help us OSX users do those things manually through terminal.

Edit: Okay, I figured this out. THIS IS FOR OSX USERS WHO ARE COMFORTABLE USING TERMINAL!

The .bat (which I opened with OSX's text editor, just like one opens .bat's in windows with notepad or other text editing program.... man I wish they had ultraedit for OSX.... anyway...), contains several echo statements for the user to see, but the meat of the script (as that is what a .bat really is: command line batch script file) is this command (which can be entered verbatim into terminal):

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 *.apk your_app_signed.apk

You have to execute this while IN the extracted auto-sign folder and you MUST have the .apk you wish to be signed in this folder and it must be the ONLY .apk in there, b/c as you can see, this command executes on ALL .apk's in the directory. It spits out your signed app as "your_app_signed.apk" Move this file out of the folder, rename, then push with adb back to your sdcard.

And that's how you sign the app in OSX. A bit brutish, I know, but its just doing by hand what the .bat does in windows automatically.

Edit: Well, I don't know if its something with auto-sign or what (I'm also running the 2.3.15 leak deodexed), but it won't install the modified and resigned .apk. It launches into app manager and I have it install, and then it tries and then returns "Application not installed."
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
i'm also having the same problem.....if others are running it then whats the deal? im just running the official leaked froyo with no theme.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Install via CMR? what is this? Clockwork Rom Manager?

You should be using bootloader
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SirBrass:
CMR = Clockwork Mod Recovery
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
Yep doing all that. Followed the instructions that were posted. I tried three different times and still the same result.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] djtoonjr:
howd u get the dam Widgetlocker and rootexploere skin to work??? i couldnt get the Autosign to work for me. i did it one but after then it didnt. help if u can. Wins 7 64 Ultimate
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Grillrd:
It works like a champ for me
[Droid X Themes and Apps] deadpool187:
Installing after auto-sign

First time to actually write in a forum, yes that's right, ANY forum. But, I've probably read a thousand pages just on the droid x alone. I checked out all the themes and loved BigDXSerenity the most. (Mixing Red and Green at the moment)

Figured out how to get the auto-sign to work...at least produce the your_app_signed.apk

Afterwards I renamed both to their original names, after that I pushed to /data/app

but Neither will actually install.(Widget Locker and Rootexplorer)

I noticed someone talking about the same problem,

Did I do something wrong?

Thanx to the creator and anyone who helped create this theme, great work!!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Hmm, Have u tried different colors? Are you deodexed? I had no problems loading red and white on the leaked 2.2 or 2.313 updates.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
yes i am deodexed. white was the one i tried. i gotta be missing something. because if you guys are running it alright then i should be able to. i did bootstrap, then rebooted to CMR, chose the zip file, and it just hungup at installing update. whats up with it?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
I actually couldnt figure it out at first. I ended up just fiddling around with it and it randomely worked on my mac. I cant figure it out on my windows 7 64 bit computer yet but I only use that one for my recording studio anyway.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Maybe bootstrap version? I'm running 1.0.0.3
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
This is the process i use to setup then install zip files

Install droid x bootstrap then clockwork rom manager

Open droid x bootstrap and click bootstap recovery

Open ROM manager and click flash clockwork mod recovery

Go back to droid x bootstrap the click bootstrap recovery

From bootstrap bootstrap I press reboot recovery

Use volume rockers to scroll down to instal zip from sdcard

press camera button to select

scroll down to choose zip from sdcard, press camera button

Find zip file downloaded and press camera button to select

Scroll down to Yes - Install *******.zip and press camera button

Will install zip file and say complete

Press power button to go back a menu then select reboot now

i understand this might be the method you are using but just wanted to specify how i have got it to work on my device... let me know if this helps
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
ok im fixing to try it
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
negative on that....it just still freezes at installing update
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
I have the exact same issue...followed ur instructions but when it says installing update the progress bar doesn't move and the screen never changes. I have to pull the battery to restart.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
we gotta figure out whats goin on. i mean if you guys are running it alright then we should be able to. im not trying to sound offensive. i just want this kick ass theme lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
I think its cuz we don't have the original bigDXSerenityblue/red.zip or whatever color. I went in to the new zip he had up, the widget locker one, and found only the widget locker and root explorer were there, nothin else....we need the original
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
agreed...we need to figure out whats going on here.

This is what I've been doing.

1. sbf

2. Root with universal androot 1.6.2

3. Install bootstrap

4. Update to 2.2 following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758907

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

6. Replace build.prop

6. Reinstall bootstrap

7. Backup in clockwork

8. Install theme from sdcard in clockwork
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
You need to click on the picture of the color you want to get the full package.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] K20Z1TypeS:
lol man i feel retarded >.< ha ha o well these things happen.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
Doesn't dl or do anything when I touch a color on my phone. Do I have to dl it to my comp first

Edit: I found the red mirror link in the previous pages....loaded it and it worked, but I want blue...anyone have the link?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
Side note: the dialer button isn't there ....I mean its not down at the bottom with the web and menu buttons
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Might be a older version of red.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
Awsome...anything about the dialer
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Did you apply the updated zip? I've never heard of that problem.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] elecga:
Can you share with others on how you fixed it or what you missed?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pinhead875:
Thank you for this! I did not realize that the themes were downloaded via clicking on the color you want! How practical! I was trying to install the zip attached to the bottom of post one, but those are only RE & WL!! lol

NOTE to other who failed like me: Click on the picture of the theme color that you want, and that brings up the download. The zips attached to the bottom of post 1 are only app updates (Root Explorer & Widget Locker) to the themes. You can only install those updates after you install the theme (useless updates unless you have those apps already I have Root Explorer so I will install the update).

Hope this helps someone!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] droidsftw:
I applied the blue. Zip file from above... same it didn't have the phone there for the dialer....it also does not look like the control bar featured on the screenshot in post 1. It looks like a d2 2.2 control bar,with phone on one side menu in the middle and web one the other side, not with bar the first posts screenshot shows

Edit: never installed a rom b4 this one...found out u need to put the dialer on the homescreen and drag it to where the dialer would be...didn't no u can customize the buttons
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
Higher contrast please

I just wanted to comment after using this theme for a couple days (first blue then white) that while it is sexy as hell, I'm wishing it were a little higher contrast. For example, in the sunlight it is very difficult to see the time on fancy widget.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] bignadad:
I agree... blue is also hard to see.... the yellow works best for me... its the brightest IMO

I'll play around and see what i can do :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
i think some of this might be just the nature of the colors. go any brighter with the blue it might look too white and darker you wont see. im not using fancy widget tho. there could be a step brighter than that white...it almost seems like a grey which is pretty cool cuz i had a silver time widget.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jaxidian:
Funny, I just installed yellow to check out if it was any better. :-P
[Droid X Themes and Apps] travp624:
would definitely be willing to donate some monetary value to this bignadad as i think having the almost entire app drawer would be awesome.

one quick question tho how come every time I install one of your themes (which they work great obviously lol) my handcent sms loses all its settings and i have to go through and reset that up.

Oh and he he now you gotta redo gmail 2.3 lol
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Koroz:
I went back to Red from blue because the blue was too light in the bright day also. Red seems to be better for sure.

I love the theme, hope to see you do a rom.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pings:
Another one here with the "Install Update..." freezing/progress bar doesn't move and the screen never changes.

2.2 (OTA)

Rooted (Droid 2 Method)

Deodex (Manually)

build.prop (Replaced)

Both Bootstrap and Rom Manger Clockwork Mod Recovery are Installed.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cwfalconfootball:
hey how is LauncherPro coming along?
