hi .. posting my first here at xda,, just wanted to share the theme i created by adding some of those modifications and themes from here at xda.. cannot recall the original authors but credits goes to them... if this post seems not good for them then please delete this respectable admins and moderators..

the theme is all black and have a modified clear dock, battery icon also modified..my rom is untouched... well don't know what to say but please see the pics for reference...

1. you need to have root access and a 3rd party launcher installed like adw or launcher pro just in case you mess touchwiz.

2. create a backup of your twframework-res.apk, framework-res.apk, and TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

3. replace them with the attached files. use adb or terminal emulator to do so...must set as SU and system is mount as RW.

just revert the steps to return your original files. i don't know how to create update.zip file, if anyone like to help then please post as you wish...

tested on JPK, JPC, JP6 and JPM.. i have not tested this to other firmwares.. please do at your own risk.. thanks...

how to apply the theme

some detailed steps for the newbies like me..

requirements:

1. root with busy box 1.17.x

2. terminal emulator [downloadable in the market free]

3. root explorer like astro

4. other launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro - [In case you mess the touchwiz]

5. download the 3 files on my post then save it at root folder of the SDCARD of your SGS

steps :

1. using root explorer.. create a backup of the following on your computer or external card

a. TouchWiz30Launcher.apk = location is system/app/

b. framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk = location is system/framework/

2. open your terminal emulator

3. type su then hit enter

4. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.

5. type cp -f sdcard/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk system/app then hit enter

6. type sync then hit enter

7. type reboot then hit enter

8. open your terminal emulator

9. type su then hit enter

10. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.

11. type cp -f sdcard/framework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter

12. type sync then hit enter

13. type reboot then hit enter

14. open your terminal emulator

15. type su then hit enter

16. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.

17. type cp -f sdcard/twframework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter

18. type sync then hit enter

19. type reboot then hit enter

separate each file and do sync and reboot to avoid problem such as terminal freezes then eventually system/framework will be corrupted, though you can fix it by reflashing, still best not to do reflash :)

done...

Is there any chance you can do a version without the tellytubby backs for the icons in the app drawer ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
i will check if that can be deleted.. love the idea :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
flanflinger...

i guess it is possible.. i need to test first.. i can change them to black to accompany the all black series like the dock background... wait... will use paint now and will try it first :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
if you pertains to this.. here it is..

updated TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] FlanFlinger:
Spot on ! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
Oh this looks awesome, I just have 2 questions.

1. Will this work on JM1? (As I've seen a lot of themes for just JPM, JPK etc etc etc)

2. Which apk contains the edited top bar? Is it possible to just get the rest of the mod without the top bar editing? (I already have an edited one and I like it the way it is.)

Thanks,

Luke.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TawaNicolas:
While at this step:

7. type cp -f sdcard/twframework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter

My phone froze, and I couldn't do anything for too long, so I turned it off and on by removing the battery, now whenever I try to boot it, it gets stuck on Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen...

Any idea how I should recover from all this? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lelf:
Hi chickie.tobias i like your work.

I wanna know if u can make a framework-res.apk working on JM8 with stock samsung icon and battery icon version z stock gradient.

If u can do this i will appreciate your work. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miketwn:
@chickie.tobias if i give you my framework-res.apk + twframework-res.apk, could you mod this for me? I really like your work bro!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
mike@taipei,

I can try... really depends if you wanted the same look as this... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
TawaNicolas,

i believe the only way is to reflash using odin....

lelf,

i can try, i just need your framework-res.apk and this file "battery icon version z stock gradient".
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miketwn:
Many thanks bro. I dont need the battery icon mod but the notification bar (the black semi-transparent screen with wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc screen you modded). All i need is that (the dock bar would be a plus too). Ive included 3 files (framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and touchwiz30launcher.apk), but from what i know (but not sure) is you only need twframwork-res.apk to change to semi-transparent black notification screen, as framework-res.apk changes battery icon (which i dont need). Thanks in advance bro... (btw, my eclair firmware is zsjg4)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lelf:
Here we go, my apk are up. I don't need battery icon mod, in this apk is arledy modded.

Pls make all the same as in the screenshoot the icon bar too. Thx you!!!!!!!!

FW: JM8

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
arianto12,

make sure to sync and reboot after copying one file. do not copy all the files at the same time...

mike@taipei and lelf,

i sorry cannot do your themes since I am using Froyo... seems like you guys are using Eclair... currently still trying to further check the composition of each icons to modify them...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miketwn:
no worries bro....was really hoping i could get my phone to look like yours.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lelf:
No problem mate, thanks you for your time. see for next update for the theme!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] arianto12:
I did sync and reboot when i copy the first file but when i wanna do the same for the second file it said cannot copy..any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] chickie.tobias:
redo mounting of the system

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
ahh shyt..

Cant this be pushed through CWR ? Update.zip ?

I would just love to have a black bar instead of the froyo shaded grey...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lelf:

Change only the status bar, notification bar and the scroll notification bar like the screenshoot. Let the stock icon on the status bar and on notification bar pls.

[HD2 General] jardan:
Dear developers,

I would kindly ask if someone can create a very simple rom for me. I tried a lot of roms and most of them were great, fast and stable, but my problem is that I do not use a lot of the applications installed. For example, I do not use twitter, or TCMP or Wifi monster etc, I prefer the simple windows file explorer than total commander etc.

I would like a rom, close to stock version, that will be fast and stable and will have only the minimum required applications. I like sense but I don’t need cookie’s home application, I can install it myself if I get bored of the standard sense. The main use of the device, is as a phone, music player, camera, video (I use the paid version of Core Media player) and office use.

I tried Carnage HD2 lite beta, but it lacks of sense and the start menu and x button on the bottom of the screen…

To sum up, please, can someone create a very simple and lite rom (6.5.5 based), with no extra applications, no extra visual additions, only the minimum required applications (the less the better) and that it can be fast and stable?

Kind regards,

Jardan
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Try one of these:

kwbr

Dutty

Energy Reference

Kumar's Lite version
[HD2 General] kristofpetho:
You just described my own personal ROM... :-)

WM23142, with stock Sense...
[HD2 General] jardan:
thank you for you replies, I will try the above mentioned roms, the Energy reference is waiting for me at home (I am at work now). I think duttys rom has more applications, at least I cannot find in the thread the list of the included apps, but I will try it just for the shake of it..

@kristofpetho, which one is your rom?

thanks
[HD2 General] beanmachine:
Or try Artemis

Good luck
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Hey kristofpetho :D

Good to see you on the HD2 side!

When you say "personal ROM" does that mean I can have it? :)
[HD2 General] jardan:
I tried Artemis, too many things inside. The goal is to have as less application as possible.

Yes, can you share it?
[HD2 General] Prille:
If you want his roms you can just search all threads started by him perhaps...

[HD2 General] kristofpetho:
Yeah I turned... :-)

The HD2 is such a nice device...

And I will publish it, when I have fine-tuned it to my taste... But the overall feel will be like that of my Topaz Avatar ROM...

@all: Try ljankok's Cheetah Pro HERE. Its superb!
[HD2 General] jardan:
Did you? Because if you had done it you would have seen that there are no HD2 roms by him. I do my research before I start asking questions. :)

Regards
[HD2 General] wardh:
Try this, they are the fastest ROMs. At least I think so. You'll get about 280MB of free storage.

Use HSPL 2.08 and Radio 2.15

http://www.vbnfiles.com/xda/fadzy/ROMS/
[HD2 General] jardan:
Cheers mate, I think that is what I was looking for. I had tried the cleanex ozrom but it wasn't as clean as this one. I will also wait for Kristofpetho's rom.

thanks again

What do i need to edit to increase the timeout of the capacitive buttons? Im sure everyone is in this boat - the backlight switches off after two seconds or so of inactivity...
[Galaxy Tab General] TrashX:
Hi,

Thats an interesting one...I have no idea (until now I was a WM user), but I would be glad to kwno how to increase the timeout. Shouldn't it be locked to the display timeout? Would make sense in my opinion...

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
oh really? i would say a) editing core android files is development and b) am i really getting advice from a noob? ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexVallat:
There's this... Blinker - Button LED Notification

Still early days, but if he's got direct control over those buttons he might be able to change the timeout, and the app answers zyborg's post in any case.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I shall ask him.
[Galaxy Tab General] djbrutale:
I can't find the timeout... I guess its the same timeout like for the Lockscreen 5000ms.

I could only do a workarround, something like everytime when the light turns off... my app turns it on. But thats a little bit dirty ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
I imagine that this will not be easy, as there is a development thread over in the SGS forum about Back Light Notifications (BLN).

It can only be achieved through flashing a modified kernel - and as I understand it, the dev tried many different methods to get it to work until deciding on the current method.

Dear all,

I want to thank all of the developers that kept the dream alive of being able to use our outdated device in this time of snapdragons and WP7. We had a good ride but it is time to move on... Recently I got a HD2 and I am experimenting on that (still can't get used to the lack of a hardware keyboard...). My last rom on the hermes was from my fellow countryman Ansar and I have to say that, personally, it was the best rom I ever tried, if he ever makes a lite rom, I might go back to hermes :p

Have fun people, and keep the dream alive. The Hermes is hard toy to brake...

Thanks

Jardan
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] killavirus:
Well this is wierd

Im going from a Touch Pro 2 back to a hermes !! (made redundant dont keep the phone :()

and my wife lost our HD2 :(

So Hermes it is

Not really worried it almost seems faster than my TP2 !!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jardan:
If you want my opinion, try Ansar's rom. it was very fast and stable. But to tell you the truth, I can not compare it with HD2, it is much faster than the Hermes. And becasue I use the hermes as a backup phone, for my second sim, everytime I look at the screen nowdays, it looks soooo small and outdated... dont get me wrong, I loved my hermes but you just can't compare the two devices...

If you want I can exchange your TP2 for my hermes! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] killavirus:
it was a work phone and i was made redundant
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jardan:
I was joking mate. Anyway, really you should try ansar's rom. have fun!

i had fun with it.. and now downloading another rom to give it a new fresh look.

i also have htc advatage still working and SE Satio. Im thinking to sell my satio and buy another "HARD TO BREAK" device.

for me, hermes is not a hair mess... cough cough...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Spardorp:
Start a poll to find out!

You can see how many threads there are which shows how many people are using the Hermes.

Ofcourse interest will decrease by time. I just purchased the Galaxy-S (android), but am still amazed but many features of the Hermes with winmo.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hystrix65:

[HD7 General] risq:
I picked mine up yesterday, within 2 minutes I had it unlocked....I'm coming from an iPhone 4.

I have to say, coming from the iPhone 4 I've been spoilt to an extent. But what I have to keep reminding myself is the fact that iOS4 is pretty much in the autmn of it's lifespan and is going to need a massive update at some point.

Before the iPhone, I had a couple of Android devices and on paper, Android is the ultimate geeks phone. The only issue I have with it, is how it looks. It just seems so "Raw" and non-pleasing on the eye and the fragmentation of builds is a problem for me. one or two different versions is semi-acceptable but with Gingerbread soon to come out, We'd still have modern handsets scattered between at least 3-4 builds of the OS and that to me is just "Messy". Half the problem is the network providers stupid roll-out phases, which are pretty much worthless as we saw what a POS the O2 2.1 Eclair was like for the Streak (If you didn't, it was a disaster)

I've been following WP7 since it's very first announcement, so the 23rd has been a date in my calendar for a while now. I managed to pick up my HD7 this weekend and so far, I'm a little bit on the fence. The UI is exceptional, I love the vector styling with the Metro UI. I like the whole contemporary text off the screen, I truely love it. WP7 does some things really well, but others are just lacking. The lack of the custom Ringtone is really, REALLY annoying. The fact that it seems impossible to delete an email address you add to the phone seems outright ridiculous....for instance, I incorrectly entered an email address, so it won't sign in. I can change the password, but not the email. I look under the settings and I see no option to remove the account. The manual only shows you how to add them as well, not remove.....???

That is unacceptable in my opinion.

The best way to describe it is I feel this is more a pre-release version of the handset. Having come from a test / QA background I'm just not sure how certain parts of this were signed off. I knew the phone was never going to be "Open" like android, but some of the restrictions are frustrating. Just as I think "God, this is going back!" I then find something I like, which totally changes my mind. I think I'm going to continue using it over the next few days and see how I get on.

What is everyone else's overall opinion so far?
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
The feelings mutual.

I like the HD7 but a couple of things annoy me:

1) I cant import my sim contacts..

2) i cant stop it from syncing my hotmail contacts.

But i dont see any issue that an update cant fix which is a good sign.

I think its early days, developers and updates will iron out all the problems eventually. :)
[HD7 General] risq:
Am I insane or is it actually impossible to remove a LIVE email account....as I mentioned above, I incorrectly entered the address (Missed a letter) and now, for love nor money I cannot amend the address nor outright delete the account and start over. It's horrible, as It just stands out "Your attention is required" Just let me DELETE THE ACCOUNT!

Looked through all the manuals, HTC stuff, Windows site....simply cannot see an option.

any idea?
[HD7 General] Mujja:
Can you add a Google Account (EAS) and have it sync contacts and calendar from there. What it you have no or some contacts in your Live account, will they overwrite or integrate the Google contacts.

Does WP7 display and sync shared calendars or only the primary?
[HD7 General] Will101:
Only the primary calendar currently but you can have it display multiple live account calendars and gmail calendars I believe.

risq, it doesn't look like you can delete the main live account you entered when you set up the phone initially (I might be wrong though). You CAN remove other email accounts in the Settings > Email & Accounts screen. Press and hold the account you want to remove and you get a 'synchronise' or 'delete' option.

I haven't tried it but maybe for the main account, try adding the correct live account, then it may allow you to remove the one that doesn't work?
[HD7 General] Theguru1:
Thanks for your review it really helps, i currently have an iphone 4...thinking of selling it to get an hd7...do you think it is currently worth doing or should i wait so they can iron out the bugs??...As i understand you cannot tether as well also whats the keyboard like vs the iphone?...i had an hd2 and hated the keyboard...
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
i can tell you one thing, the keyboard is amazingly quick and responsive on the HD7. My mate has a IPHONE4 and he thinks HD7 keyboard is awesome...
