[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
Hi all,

Here is my first attempt at doing some theming work for our beloved Hero. This was prompted by Alexander13 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754497). This is not an exact port (I recreated all the icons) of jercik's Smooth Sense Icons v.1.0 but it's pretty close. I would also like to thank every one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754497 for the encouragement, Summered for pointers and Daneshm90 for advice and awesome tools (Apk_Manager_4.8 and Update Scripts) :)

Here are some samples so you can get an idea of what the icons look like (speeds are not accurate) and also I have gotten quite a few requests for just the images etc so I have decided that for those that feel comfortable creating their own frameworks etc or want to use the icons for another reason you can just download them (these will also include xml files if needed) :):

Charging

Battery 1% (Droid Sans font)

Battery 1% (Clocktopia font)

Battery 1% Text Only

Download (included with Extra Icons)

Extra icons

WiFi (these were annoyingly hard, let me know what you think :)) (included with Extra Icons)

Network (included with Extra Icons. This also includes the icons for Roaming)

Network (these are not included in any of the current packages. Let me know if you would like them)

Semi-Transparent Notification pull down (included with Extra Icons)

Note: I am currently running standard Sense 2.1 w/ root and I wont be installing every ROM to test. If it compiles successfully then I will assume it is ok so PLEASE make sure you do a nand backup!! I will happily redo any that have issues but cannot afford to replace your phone. So please backup to be safe :) OR I keep an update script of the original on my phone to flash just incase I get a bootloop so you could do that too.

Download Links (Update Scripts):

Charging + Battery 1% (Droid Sans font) + Sync + GPS + Upload + Download + Extra icons (no WiFi or Network): VR12

Charging + Battery 1% (Droid Sans font) + Sync + GPS + Upload + Download + Extra icons (including WiFi and Network): VR13

Charging + Battery 1% (Clocktopia font) + Sync + GPS + Upload + Download + Extra icons (including WiFi and Network): VR12

Charging + Sync + GPS + Upload + Download + Extra icons (including WiFi and Network): Stock 2.1 | RCmix rom (2.2b)

Instructions for adding semi-transparent notification pull down

1. Download one of the packages above (Or use one you already have)

2. Open the update-xxx.zip using winrar / 7zip

3. Navigate to this path: framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-mdpi

4. Copy the image called status_bar_background.png out (not statusbar_background.png)

5. Open the image in an image editor of your choice (or use the one from floomat here)

6. Change the transparency (I have mine set to 80% now but have a bit of a play)

7. Save the image as a png (make sure you back up your original image just in case)

8. Place the image you have made into the zip that you have open overwritting the existing

9. Close everything down and reflash :)

Obviously not everyone is on VR12, so if you would like these icons for your ROM send me a pm with a link to your framework-res.apk (I can provide you my email address if you prefer) and which icons you would like. If you are not sure how to get your framework-res.apk off the phone then a link to where you got your ROM will be fine :)

Note: Any framework-res.apk files that you download WILL override any changes that you may of made yourself UNLESS you provide me with your framework-res.apk.

I will keep updating this post with links for new ROMs once I make them :)

I am also currently working on some for various Froyo ROMs, I will post up the images once done. I can make these availible for non Froyo ROMs too.

I hope you all like these, if you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know :)
