I accomplished quite a bit last night and I'm excited to release it!

So far I fixed up the green browser search button that has been annoying the hell out of me since CM4.

Replaced some of the default application icons.

Edited some of the Phone .9.png (the keyboard that pops up while on a call)

A few tweaks in framework

Themed Email app (not GMail)

And last but not least... retired the bounce animations and replaced it with something... a little different.

There may be a few more but it's late (for me anyway) and I can't remember them all right now. ;)

I'm thinking about adding... not replacing (unless necessary for space) some additional wallpapers (not LiveWallpapers) to the theme.

Anyone that wants their personal wallpaper(s) added to the theme attach it in a 640x480 .jpg with a unique name and I'll consider it for the theme. Go easy though, because we don't need a 10mb file filled with 118 different wallpaper options! :D

Keep it clean!

No drug paraphernalia, nothing violent or gory, no nudity, etc.

I had to say it guys. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] anbinhv:
Thanks for the great work!

Can anyone tell me how to have HTC Icons on CM 5.0.8

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Several ways to do this.

Easiest would be to use a Launcher that allows you to use themed icons such as ADWLauncher.

Another way would be to change the icons with an app like Bettercut.

The most difficult way (how I do it) I extracting the icon.png file (or whatever it's called) of the icon that you want to display and saving it. Then replace the icon.png (or whatever it's called) on the themed app (such as browser, camera, gallery, etc) with the one that you saved previously. Note that it must have the same name as the one that you just deleted (the original from the theme). Once you've done that you can simply resign the app and push it back to /system/app and reboot. You should be good to go. Also check out NinjaMorph to make it easier.

Anyway... for everyone else, I need contributions for wallpapers!

I already added 12 of my own (some of the long time CHM users might notice a couple of them) and here's the nice thing... I managed to compress it to SAVE ~700kbs! Yeah... I added a dozen... and I still have a smaller file than the original. I'm that good! :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] koreancanuck:
Dunno if you have these or not, but I'm assuming you want sort of green.

Trying the best I can to contribute :D (since I fail at android)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] JAguirre1231:
Here's a bunch of wallpapers you can use (If you use all of them you get bonus cool extra awesome points): http://picasaweb.google.com/JAguirre1231
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Uhhh... that's a total of 374 wallpapers. I would only be able to use all of them if I can compress them down to to about 10kb each. Could you imagine the quality? :p Maybe I can take a couple of them. But it DOES give me an idea. Maybe I can re-work the CMWallpapers app and make a CHMWallpapers instead and replace ALL of the wallpapers with some SenseUI type. However I would like to install it to /data and under a different name. Sounds like a challenge! Iwould basically be creating my own app using the CMWallpapers as source. And Jacob, since your so talented with your ADWLauncher, perhaps you can give me some pointers. That is... if you can remember how. :)

EDIT: NEVERMIND! I think I got it! Not so hard really. I should have the installable app here soon. But I'm not sure how many I'll include just yet. Certainly no more than 100 200. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Somebody design an app icon for me!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Okay... so here is my first app based off of CMWallpapers source.

This includes 116 (i think) wallpapers from a few different sources. Most of which was from JAquirre's post above. Thanks Jacob!

Let me know what you think.

Just install like a regular app.

Enjoy!

Just because I finished the app, doesn't mean I still don't want your wallpapers. Send them anyway and I'll try to add to it! I need to figure a way to make it able to be upgraded but currently it would have to be uninstalled before you installed a later version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] JAguirre1231:
They're hawt.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Thanks! I'm noticing that the Mario wallpaper fails for some reason. I can't figure it out so I may remove it. Maybe it is just a bad build or something. But you notice that with all of those wallpapers it is STILL less than the CM original? And we wonder why CM6 is so tight on space on the G1 and first generation MyTouch devices. :rolleyes: It's all about compression!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Proof Of Concept

I'm still working on the newest Community Hero Mix for the upcoming CM-6.1.0 for D/S.

Here is what I have so far.

Credit to JAguirre for several of his contributions with some xml and png files and TeeJay for being my guinea pig. Mind you all that this is subject to change but almost certainly for the better!

And before you even ask, the widgets do NOT come with the theme nor does Community Hero Mix Wallpaper app. You can download the widgets from the Market and you can download the CHM Wallpaper app from page 1 post 1 or from this post: Community Hero Mix Wallpapers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] TeeJay3800:
I want to love it, but to tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed. :(

j/k, it looks GREAT

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] TeeJay3800:
Oh I know it. I've flashed more a couple betas. With the latest updates/additions, I think this will be the best CHM yet. :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Yeah yeah yeah. I've heard that before at least 100 times. :p

I know! I'm pretty fired up about it too! But I think that I've pretty much hit a wall as to what I should do next with it though. I think that I'll just sit on it as is until RC1 is released, then I'll probably release a RC1 build just to collect the feedback and then improve from there.

If anyone would be interested in testing a BETA of an RC (not a Nightly) let me know. Learning from my past mistakes I will not be releasing my betas on the original googlecode page. I'm tired of giving links out to 6 people and then noticing that it was downloaded 22 times! :p

Speaking of which, I just updated the download stats. It was about a month ago since I have done it last and I was surpised to see the difference! It just shows the popularity of this theme. Strange though that I still had over 300 downloads of the CHM version for CM-4.2.15.1! Who remembers those days no less still uses the ROM? LOL! But just to think that I still get an average of 10 on a daily basis that downloads and uses the theme. Quite impressive I think. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
I NEED A COUPLE OF BETA TESTERS FOR THE RC-1 RELEASE!

I would perfer it if the testers had a G1 since they have limited /system space.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] |Tch0rT|:
I'm in for beta testing and I have a G1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Thanks but I'm going to keep that in mind for next time. I'm going to just try and release this right now and see what happens. Look me up on Twitter and wait for me to ask for voluteers and I'll get you the next time around. ;)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
So although I had received a less than expected amount of volunteers to test the RC1 version, I went ahead and released 4.1. Feeling lucky I guess.

Also, I'm going to setup a message group for volunteers only! These brave souls will be the first to get to test the newest themes. Newbs are welcome but n00bs nay not apply! (Yes! There is a difference!)

Any voluteers please quote this letting me know that your intersted or PM me and we'll discuss how to broadcast this. Thinking Twitter would be easier, but not everyone has it. I know... weird!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] |Tch0rT|:
Ok, I'm flashing your release now. :) I don't do Twitter. How about Facebook? Seriously if you ever need your theme tested on a G1 I am your man.

One thing though on your theme I've had the USB symbol show up like this for the last few releases:

Anyway to fix it?

Hmmm it's starting to boot, anyway we can keep Cyanogen's awesome boot animation? Not a huge deal but since 6.0 came out the new boot animation is awesome.

EDIT, personally I'm not too keen on some of the new icons but again not a huge deal. Anyway to revert them to the old ones?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] dustrho:
I'm guessing this will work with the latest CM6 nightly builds? If so, I'll give it a try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] dustrho:
Couldn't wait, so I flashed it and it's working fine on my MT3G (32B). Animations are a little slow with windows spinning around, but I'm sure that's due to slow/old hardware. Looks slick as hell, and I'll provide additional feedback if needed. Thanks for working on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] dustrho:
I can confirm this as well on my MT3G. I'm guessing that shouldn't be like that, correct?

The only suggestion I have at the moment is to darken the colors of notifications in the notification tray. The gray color is way too light for this theme. Could you darken it to match the theme better?

But I have to say that my phone is running MUCH FASTER than it was without the theme. Did you throw in some steroids into this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Just PM me with your FB e-mail address and I'll add you. ;)

In regards to the USB icon... it's really the only icon effect to my knowledge. I suppose I can add a black outline around it. I'm hesitant in changing the color of it because it won't match the rest in the statusbar. It's only obvious when you use the pulldown. I'll play around with it.

Icons... I can suggest you to download a few ADWThemes from the Market and play around with them. That would probably be the easiest way to change them. Other options would be to set a custom shortcut and change the icon with that. OR you can do it the hard way and re-theme the theme with your own icons. Have fun with that! LOL! Shouldn't be too tough if you know what your doing. Just need the icons, unpack the apk files, replace the png's, resign the apks, repackage the zip, re-sign the zip and flash.

I could do that as well... I just need to remember which file(s) it is. Keep in mind there are [over 700 that I need to go through. Which one is it? I have no idea. :p

Actually! You're pretty close! Well... technically your on the right track... but going the wrong direction! LOL! Allow me to explain. CyanogenMod's don't use a lot of compression. Sure they have to use quite a bit to make them fit on G1's and MyTouch devices but they haven't seemed to put a lot of effort into it. Perhaps because they use some of the same files on HDPI devices which have a higher resolution. But for our devices we can save a lot of space but further compressing some of the most commonly used apps. I have proven this with the CMWallpaper app. I can turn his ~20 wallpaper app into ~120 without noticible loss in quality and STILL be smaller than the original! It's all about compression. Sure the CMWallpaper app isn't a commonly used app. But framework-res is! I shaved about 500kb from that file and let's face it... it's the most heavily used app. Bottom line is that the smaller the size of the png files, the faster a slower device (such as a MyTouch or G1) can go through the hundeds of png files at a time that it requires. So steriods? No. That would be beefing up the files. I'm slimming them down... so think... Slim Fast!

So I'll be looking into the usb icon and seeing what I can do with it for RC2. I hope that you all enjoy and thanks for the feedback!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
I don't suggest flashing this for a nightly build.

Here's why.

There are 22 apps (that's including the framework and framework.jar files) that are housed in this update. If the nightly build that you are testing have changes to ANY of these apps then it can and possibly will have a negative effect1 Here's why. Let's say Cyanogen and his crew make adjustments to framework-res.apk, framework.jar and Settings.apk files. They do this to add 1 little icon for the widget or whatever. A simple and minor change, right? Then you flash this theme. You will have UNDONE those changes! In some cases your device might now even boot! Or you might get it to boot but might get random reboots or force close errors. What if they made Browser enhancements? You would want those right? Flash this theme and those enhancements are reverted and lost. Use any example that you want. Nothing good can ever come from flashing a theme that wasn't made specifically for that rom. I used CM6.1.0-RC1-DS and it's source to make the rom... not the nightlies that you're testing.

Issues

-usb icon is difficult to see in pull down menu while connected to pc

I'm working on fixing the usb icon. I'm thinking that a 1px black border around it should do it. I think I got it ready for the next update. I've yet to test it though.

-Error messages when flashing theme in recovery

This one I have no clue how to fix. I'm using Clockwork recovery and I have no problem. The user than pointed it out to me was using Amon_Ra 1.7.0. It seems that the error comes up when it has difficulty displaying multiple spaces combined with text. I'm looking into this but it was reported to me that the theme still flashed successfully. I may have to revert to just a single line of text instead of multiple. I would rather not but if I get an overwhelming cry of panic because of this then I'll have to. Anyone with Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery NOT experience this while flashing? Or anyone with anything else? Trying to figure an easy way around this but it doesn't look like it's going to be possible without losing the text.

-Still noticing some orange text

Like autocomplete and other areas. I'm working on ironing these out. Be patient. It's a lot of #RRGGBB and such to go though.

Keep me informed of all of the issues that you guys come across. I want Community Hero Mix for CM-6.1.0-FINAL-DS to be perfect!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] dustrho:
Well, I've been using this theme on the latest nightly (223), and haven't had a single issue with it yet. It's working so incredibly well, and this is such a gorgeous theme. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Clockwork Recovery vs Amon Ra Recovery During Installation

I got up early so that I can work on this a bit. I tested both my MyTouch and my G1 for comparison. Here is what I discovered. If you have the Clockwork recovery then during your installation you should see this:

Clockwork Recovery on MT3G

If you have Amon_Ra recovery you can expect to see this:

AmonRa 1.7.0 on G1

It appears that the installation will still be successful but I can tell why some of you may be a bit concerned about it anyway. It is NOT required to switch to Clockwork recovery to install the theme. I suspect that the reason for this is in the ui_print commands that I use in the update script. I might be able to tweak it up a bit however the words would wrap around the screen making it difficult to read. OR I can just eliminate the rest of the text and just go with "Welcome to Community Hero Mix!"

You decide what you want and I will just wait until I figure out alternatives.

I might also contact Amon_Ra regarding this issue since it seems to be specific to his recovery. Maybe he'll update to support extended ui_print. It's up to him though.

Moving on...

Regarding the hard-to-see usb icon.

How's this?

I simply added a 1px black border around the icon. Good enough?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Alright so I got some work on this today!

Here's what I have so far!

Home screen tips widget was modified (and themed) to include some Community Hero Mix tips

Added 1px black outline around usb notification icon for the pull down menu to make it more visible.

Modified the updater-script for those running Amon_Ra recovery. Should no longer show errors.

These changes are subject to testers (supporters) approval and feedback. If approved will be introduced for the next release.

Keep the requests coming.

No. Just like it says on page 1 post 1.

Yeah. I meant that official OTA firmware is not themeable, so you can't use or make themes on them.

Sorry that I wasn't clear :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] zFr3eak:
ah, thank you. one question. why is it not themeable?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] kanttii:
If what I've read was right, it's because of the restrictions Google and manufacturers have set for the UI - to keep theirs on and still allow people to modify it in a number of ways. These ROMs we install have been modified in a way that enables modifying important system files, and keep the system easily customizable (you can just swap APK's and lib files etc. without worrying of additional files and stuff;de-odexed) for users.

IDK about the protections and stuff technically - someone correct me if there's something wrong here..

Does this clear something? :)
