[Droid X Themes and Apps] javroch:
Black Out

Preview 7.1

for Fission 2.4.2/2.4.3

Brought to you by javroch

Feel free to repost, but please ask and always include a link back to this original post at all times.

​

I've been working on this theme for a while and it's far from done, but so far I've gotten through most of the widgets without issue and most of the communication apps (Gmail, Messaging, Google Voice, Google Talk). I plan on more deeply theming apps like I with those four, as time permits and as apps are requested.

NOTE:Themed apks are pushed to /sdcard/BlackOut for easy installation through "Files" File Manager via one click. Update.zip style packages for all three keyboards can be found there as well.

Any and all donations go to testing devices so that I don't have to rely on external testers and can guarantee a quality theme for everybody in a more timely fashion. Currently, I only have a DX to test on and the other builds have been holding up release for a couple of days each time.

This is my first work for Android so let me know what you think. All themed elements were created from scratch except for the wallpaper, which I found at deviantART. I need to get the link...

I would appreciate it if you could give me a heads up and ask my permission before any modifications are made to the theme and published. Again, please always include a link back to the original post. If you do end up creating a port of this theme, please create a separate thread with a link back to the original. The reason I ask this is that I don't want to confuse people who are installing the original with posts related to ports, etc that might not affect them at all.

I should note that the theme at this point is pretty much constantly changing and expanding and is far from a final product.

I also take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your phone. If you follow the directions carefully, all releases have been tested ahead of time, and you should be fine.

SD Card "BlackOut" Folder:

This folder contains themed non-system APKs that compliment the theme well and have had their widgets themed to match those of the system widgets. As well, Gmail and Google Voice have been themed throughout making them black, with more to come similarly. As well, as of Preview 3.1, now there are some flash-able patches that you can apply over the theme to customize it. These can be applied by following the same directions to apply the theme, only selecting the respective file that you want to flash instead of "DX_BlackOut_Preview.zip".

As of Preview 5, DX_BlackOut_framework_10percent.zip and DX_BlackOut_framework.zip are no longer pushed to /sdcard/BlackOut. Instead, simply pick your flavor when you download the theme originally. DX_Swype is now being pushed to /sdcard/BlackOut along with the rest of the keyboards. ESPNScoreCenter has been updated to include the latest market updates.

Coming Soon:

More UI elements themed

I posted up a hotfix on FRM that'll fix overclocking on the DX in Fission. As I said, it's available on FRM, but here's a link to the download as well: http://www.4shared.com/dir/hDK37Odo/DX_Jrummy_OC.html
