Hey guys.. Thought I would share this with you. My goal is to make a complete dark themed UI for our Fascinate as the stock UI is horrible in my opinion. Hours later, I think I'm off to a good start! Thanks to DtatchD and the others in IRC for the help plus the other themers out there as I grabbed stuff from all over the place. If I forked a .png from you let me know so I can give you credit, as I have don't remember where anything came from! Thanks to tiger4life for porting the reboot options and goldenstorm for his base for the battery mod! Also big thanks to reefermattness for his awesome dialer/carbon pngs and for letting me know who the OP of the .pngs is. :)

EDIT 11/08: Now available in ROM Manager under JT! There are two theme downloads to pick from. The first has stock window animations and the second has custom "slide" animations. If using the custom animations download the app "Spare Parts" from the market and turn all transitions/animations to fast to really see them fly. There is also a Swype keyboard skin Metamorph as well as some addition window animations in the form of Metamorphs. This took forever to put together, beer fund information is in my sig! Enjoy!

Theme Download:

http://www.mediafire.com/?l4i4dij9218f9e4

Theme Download w/ Custom Window Animations:

http://www.mediafire.com/?l4lbmryx6fbjl1y

Installation Instructions:

Flash the main DarkGlossMod.zip in recovery. The extras are Metamorphs, which is a free app in the Market. After downloading, place the BlackGlass.zip (Swype) or extract the animation of your choice (i.e. fold-animation) from the animation.zip and place in the AndroidThemes folder on your SD card. Open Metamorph and pick extract new theme. Pick the .xml file and apply all.

BIG THANKS TO DONATORS!

Daswolven

sorry guys, fixed OP!

Looks awesome. One question...what increments does the battery meter change at? Mine is stuck on 100, but the real percentage is 89. Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
I just noticed that as well.. Looks like 20% increments.. change to another battery with next update?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
If you're looking for another battery to switch to for the next update, the Super Circle Battery with Percentage is popular....

Just a thought
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
Wow, your animations are incredible!

Nice theme as well. Fixing the battery will make this perfect.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Link please?

Rooted?

As a newcomer to the Android world, let me ask an idiot question. Do you have to have root access to apply this theme.

Great work by the way!

Thanks for putting on your training wheels for a new guy!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sumfknguy:
anyone have any issues with applying the animations via metamorph? Mine said invalid files or something. ...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
First I have heard bro. Those animations have been working for a long time, dunno why you would be having problems. Possibly try and reapply?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stanrc:
I haven't had a chance to look at the files but is it possible to mix and match the animations. I like the stock transitions but would prefer the bounce window animations.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
yes I think so. you would need to take a look at all those xmls though lol
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] money226:
First let me just say this theme is bad ass. I appreciate the hard work cuz I do a lot of this stuff but my computer is broken :( There is one thing though, could you please change the sub text color to green or something other than the god awful blue that this thing haas stock? It would greatly be appreciated. Oh, and thank you for not theming apps. If you do could you please leave it as optional like you did with swype.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 87jason:
So i am having a problem flashing the theme zip in recovery it keeps saying bad zip. Someone help me out a little....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 87jason:
ok so im stupid i was trying the wrong zip.... But im trying to do the animations through metamorph and it just sits there for ever and says applying framework-res.apk theme 1 of 1 and doesnt ever seem to stop, i was just curious if it usually take a while for this to work or if something isnt right.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ekowanz:
this is champion... it work in blackhole ROM.

The minor isue is the battery percentage, other than that.. its champion bro
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
thanks man.. finishing schoolwork today then update
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kr8r:
more than beautiful

So i'm not sure why, but I have tried flashing this a few times. First time did full cache\data wipe etc. Phone rebooted and looked awesome but going through the setup etc it would never finish the wizard would just keep restarting.

Reset back to prior made back up, went to flash it again, did not clear cache\data installs super fast phone reboots looks great. However cannot place widgets and when i try and bring up settings I get an FC, looking in the app launcher I see settings is no longer there.

I'm fairly stock, no voodoo etc. I do use LauncherPro and have debloated a fair amount but nothing out of the ordinary...

so anyone have any thoughts? repeated this a few times too, just to make sure i did not have a bad zip etc.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
weird man, I had one other guy say that his settings app FC. everyone else has had no problem. I wish I knew what the connection was between the two of your devices so I could post a warning. Try this for me:

Restore your nandroid. Double click the zip I gave you and without extracting go browse to system/app and delete settings.apk and the reinstall the zip on your SD card.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bL33d:
this theme is awesome. i too had issues with settings.apk mine was not showing at all but i am useing stock rooted not deodexed. I simply added a new settings.apk file in /system/apps and it fixed it. i love the new battery btw.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sumfknguy:
did you ever get past the applying framework-res.apk theme?? Mine was working great, and then I had to restore my phone for other reasons and now I cannot apply the animations.. =(
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
weird bugs in this thread! haha. did you try redownloading and clearing out the androidthemes folder on your sd and then readding the metamorphs? just thinking out loud.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ExNight:
Metamorph won't open the animations zip for me, says the xml files are improper or something like that

Sent from my better built sammy iphone knockoff
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
ok I'm removing settings from the zip for right now until I have time to look at it.. thx for the heads up guys
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] activesack:
I can't seem to apply the animations either. Then again, I had installed this right over a previous theme. I dunno if that played a part.

Also, so far the battery meter hasn't gone under 100. :cool:

I mean... I WISH it was 100% for the past 10 minutes while rebooting and applying themes :p

I previously had a glass bar, removed date and time mod and the accurate battery mod.

Update: Rebooted and still showing 100% even tho my widgets report 87%
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sumfknguy:
I had this issue too, then I realized you had to unzip the animations_zip file to the folder and then point metamorph to the zip files that you extracted.

My issue now is that I can't apply the themes..

When I did have it working prior to reloading my phone last night it was working just fine.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sumfknguy:
Yeah.. I removed metamorph and redownloaded the animations with no luck.

Not complaining though

I love the theme itself, the animations were just a nice bonus to have.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
Where do you get those widgets and icons that are alphanumeric?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
For people having trouble please re read installation instructions for the morphs. Make sure you are unzipping the animations.zip folder first then dropping your preferred animation into the androidthemes folder!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Looking good man.. as soon as I get caught up on school today I will finish more animations as well as a better status bar battery solution etc
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Don't recall. Ran a google search for android text icons. Found it in one of the results.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] activesack:
Animations_pack.zip

It seems that unzipping in Astro doesn't seem to play nicely.

I unzipped from Windows and individually pushed the files to my phone.

Flying looks great! Thanks!

Been running for about a day and all is good except my battery is such at 50 even though I'm at 38 percent.

It's not a true %. It changes at 100, 80, 65, 50, etc.

I know that but does it at some point change to something below 50?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] activesack:
I'm showing a 35 right now.

I hope they get an update for a more precise meter. I like this theme a lot.

On another note, would I be able to use the animations with another theme?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 87jason:
ok so i have tried unzipping the animations in windows and then pushing them to the phone and it still just sits there and says applying, i let it sit for three hours today and it just sat there. Anyone that has the animations working could you share what Rom your running and if you are running voodoo or stock kernal. I would really like to get these working but im not having any luck any help would be great.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] phubeone:
i'm running voodoo kernel and I got it to work fine. This is what I did:

Create a folder on your SD card called androidthemes

Unzip the content of animaptions_pack.zip to the androidthemes folder (there should be another 5 zip within that pack, Bounce-animation.zip, flip-animation.zip,flying-animation.zip, fold-animation.zip, original-animation.zip.

Open Metamorph

Select Start Checks (it should say that it granted superuser access)

Click Unzip/Extract new theme

Select the animation you want to try

Select Update

Selec0 Close on Credit

Select Apply all

Rebooted and animation was there.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
Where can I get the unlock screen I see in the OP? I assume it was included in the theme, but can't seem to choose it.

Also, can I import the status bar icons from xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829443?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
Do you have the "enable_glass_lock" file in /data/local/ ??? That might be why you don't see it.

And yes you can import the icons from that theme, they go in twframework-res.apk.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
I don't see that file in data/local. How do I get it there?

Also, how I add the icons to that apk?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
Use root explorer to create the file (no extensions) that will enable the glass/puzzle locks. However it sounded as if you already had that file there and it needed to be deleted in order to get the lock screen in the OP. Confused as to what you have, are you running a Deodexed rom? You might try wiping and then reflash the theme if you have flashed a lot of different themes/roms lately.

You might try NinjaMorph available in the market. I use it for small jobs. Like replacing the icons in the menu's. There are a ton of threads on how to theme that can be found using your best friend Google :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
I am running the stock rom and kernel for noe with the cwm unsigned DI01 update. Debimged and debloated of course.

I'll check out google for the theme info
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Theme updated! Check the OP. :cool:
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
Just put it on. I love it! Finally leaving my beloved blue breeze.

Great job on the battery!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Glad you're enjoying it!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
Dang just installed it prior to the update. What changed?

Also, reflashed jt's super clean rom and I got the slide lock like in the op. Very happy.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Just reflash through rom manager.. Battery is accurate to 1% now, optional slide window animations baked in. check it out.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
awesome. gotta figure out how to select the animations still, but digging the new battery monitor!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fwdixon:
Quick question, is the settings soft key supposed to override the lock screen?

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stanrc:
Any way just to get the slide animations?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
He put the animations in a zip and posted on the op.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stanrc:
The bundle doesn't seem to include the slide animations he mentioned.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
Their in there. I just downloaded them again. There is 4/5 animations zipped in the file. They are for mmetamorph.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] steeeler:
My bad. You meant just the slide version. Yeah your right. I don't see that one. I like the fold animation.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stanrc:
Ok, thanks. Just none of them were labeled as slide so I wasn't sure.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Download the theme from the mediafire link. Browse to system/framework/framework-res.apk and rename a .zip file. Extract the zip and and browse to the res folder. Drag the /anim folder to your desktop and through it in one of the metamorphs. Profit.

Theme is awesome though!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jbrdr985:
Awesome, got the animations to work! Is it normal for the new animations to not work on everything? For example, if I open up the market I get the stock animation, but once I search for an app and click on it I get the custom animation.

I really hate to continually rave like this, but I will be buying you a six pack of something decent come Friday. The theme and animations are awesome. Not only have they not gotten old, but I'm continually surprised at how comprehensive the theme is. Great job.

I know the battery indicator is being worked on, but that's all this needs to be complete. I would love to see themed apps/widgets in the same style. Genie widget, SetCPU, BeautifulWidgets, etc.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Thanks a lot man, glad you like it and thanks for the kind words and generosity! The theme was updated yesterday to include the new battery that is accurate to 1%.. Or did you have something else in mind? More themed UI elements and themed widgets to come. One question. More animations?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Doh.

I rebuilt yesterday and just reinstalled the older version. Will update now. :)

I tried all the animations once through, and settled on the fold. Freaking love it. If you have any other ideas I will absolutely check them out.

FYI, I've had three friends ask for the link to this thread so they can try to find something similar for their Incredibles and a Droid X. This theme spawns UI envy on sight.

Edit: Pulled the new version, working as intended! :D
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] CouchSpud:
Just out of curiosity, what font are you using?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jbrdr985:
If you can make the animations work when first opening the app and also closing it, that would be awesome. Right now then only work within the app.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Glad to hear it! Too bad, just finally sold my incredible
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 87jason:
Is there any way that you could add some kind of orientation animation for when the phone is put into landscape and going back to portrait. Just curious I think it would make the phone look even more smooth and fluent, just a thought. I mean Tue theme and animations are already sweet tits but I never see anyone add rotation animations just think it would be cool.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thatdudebutch:
Can't you enable a cool ass animation in spare parts called fancy transitions for that? I have my rotation off so idk
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 87jason:
i have it enabled on mine but it says for android 1.5 only. I know that i have seen some of the cyanogen mod builds have custom rotation animations. but i think that 2.2 doesnt have anything in the res.apk for rotate animations so i think it would have to be done from scratch, i was just curious to see if that was something you would be intrested in trying to build into to it cause this theme is amazing.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
hey, love the theme, it looks great. Just found 2 small problems. when playing music with the stock music player the notification bar disappears. I imagine this happens because of a missing resource it's trying to pull for when the pulldown music controls are added. Also if you pull up the lockscreen music controls on one of the stock lockscreens the background is light grey and the text is white. i can send screenshots if you need.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] amcq1010:
I've read this thread top to bottom, but I'm still not getting the animations to import properly. As with others, mine just stays on "Applying framework-res.apk theme 1 of 1"...

The biggest question I have (and haven't seen answered yet) .. is how long is "normal" for this thing to apply this theme? 5 seconds? 1 minute? 10 minutes?

I've tried downloading them via phone and unzipping them into AndroidThemes via Astro... no luck.

- I've also tried unzipping only the parent Zip and leaving the themes zipped (then allowing Metamorph to unzip them) ... no luck

I've tried downloading them via PC, and unzipping them all the way to folders, then placing the folders into the AndroidThemes folder... no luck.

I've uninstalled Metamorph and re-installed... no luck.

I've rebooted, no luck.

I'm currently running JT's Clean Rom on my VzW Fascinate, and have also loaded the no-Voodoo custom Kernel that is listed with the ROM.

I already have the Dark Gloss Mod installed via ROM Manager and it's working fine..

I just can't seem to find any way to get past this Please Wait screen....

I saw the message by thatdudebutch that talks about putting this onto the phone /system directory manually... That doesn't make sense to me at all, and would only attempt this with better instructions.

Any help would be extremely appreciated... THANKS!

Charging Animation

Ok, I've noticed a really small, tedious, insignificant problem that's been bugging me. The charging animation starts and hangs for a few seconds at about 25%, continues to 100%, and then begins again at 25%. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

First off loving the theme.

My question is, is there anyway to import the infoalarm.apk? I love it and think it is very unique. Also, I'm have problems installing the stock music app from OG fascinate.

Last question. Is there a reason I'm not able to flash to clockwork from Rom manager? I can get there by pressing and holding both volume keys an power but this is a huge pain in my ass to have to go and add the zip files individually.

Any help would be appreciated!
