Thanks dood! Seeing/hearing everyone's appreciation for my efforts really keeps me wanting to deliver more. I promise I will definitely look into the power widgets when I have more time, and also I believe Lee(DrOiD) may create a flashable addon for his latest ROM, so it would be much easier if I could base my next version from that, as the main reason I've stayed away from the power control widgets is mostly because of incompatibilities. It's a great mod, but as you all know, there are many framework bases out there, and it's tough to ensure everything will work perfectly with the versions that they were based from.

Anyways, thanks to all for your awesome feedback, and I'll keep pushin' for ya! BTW live_0978, I'm going to go on a hunt, but if you're able to, can you post some link-age to Hoolm's icon set that goes with my theme, "to a T."? :) I haven't even really looked into icon modding, so I have some research to do, but as I'm sure the case is with many of you, the quest for modding/customizing our kick-ass handsets never ends!!!

Here's to Gingerbread + Sense HD (with my PCB theme) in 2k11!

** EDiT ** -- I think I've found the iconset of Hoolm's you were talking about...Battery Mod really, and yes it is quite nice and fits well...I'm still stuck on Battery Mod A, but that one is tempting to try!
[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
That's the thread buddy ;) but Mendozina has also added them to his UOT kitchen. For the circlesmod you want G11 Hoolm Ginger and for the battery it's scb % version K glowing. I'm happy that you're inclined to agree.

Hey all,

The Dropbox links are having issues at the moment, as Dropbox themselves sent me an e-mail to say that I have been consuming too much bandwidth, so they disable the public links for a few hours/days. Trying again later should solve your 'unable to download' issues, and when I get a sec, I'll try to host them on my own server. I think this bandwidth consumption also has something to do with the fact that the LeeDrOiD ROMs are also under my own Dropbox account!

I will update when there is news though. Thanks!

Still down :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] grentuu:
Back up now :)

Ok grabbed the fly in 2.29.405.2 (I'm on 2.29.405.5)

Flashed with Amon RA. It took about ten minutes (gotta admit was getting a little nervous lol) and everything works great, pull down the lot.

loving it.

thanks

MULTIUPLOAD.COM IS THE SOLUTION I GUESS :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hey all! Just wanted to let you know that the non-working Dropbox links should no longer be a problem. I've upgraded my account to enable 250gb/day usage as compared to the (free) 10gb/day previously. This should definitely cure any 509 problems.

Hope you're all enjoying the theme, cheers for now!
[Desire Themes and Apps] duryard:
Been using leedroid for about 2 months now with no problems at all (except installing it but thats another story and nothing to do with the rom) awesome rom and now going to try this as I want the circle battery mod.
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Sounds great duryard, thanks for willing to try out my theme! Note that the circle battery mod does not come standard anymore, as many users prefer their own mod. Read the "Customizing / Adding Battery Mod" section just below my screenshots in the first post to see how you can easily add your own, using the UOT kitchen.

In other news, seems as if Dropbox is still notifying me that bandwidth usage is excessive. LeeDrOiD's ROMs (both classic + HD) are hosted under my Dropbox, and since the HD scene has been hot, this is probably why it's happening. For the next version of my theme, I may just host it myself, otherwise you can keep trying Dropbox every so often as the links are only disabled temporarily. I even upgraded to the paid service for 250gb/day, but it appears we're still going over that! Apologies, but I also do not want to manage 10+ uploading/rapidshare type mirrors.

Anyways, I'll be in touch if there's more news about my theme...cheers!
[Desire Themes and Apps] duryard:
To be honest scar45 I am not that keen on the clock. I know I can revert to the stock one and I probally will. A theme I am really after is a Army/militiary one. I used to have a brill one on my n95 8gb camo background and luminous green text colour. If you should feel inclined to do one I am sure it will go down well. Maybe with a donation to help for heros???

Hello Scar45 and others :D

I'm using this briliant theme with custom Iconset from the Kitchen. It's almost perfect, but ...

When I run apps, tittlebar image is somehow stretched what can be seen on the screen:

Some icons haven't got translucent background but I think it's icons fault.

Also I was wondering where I could edit Operator font / color, (I'm with Orange so wanted to change color to orange) as I presume if I patch it via the custom UOT Kitchen skin, I'll loose your bar graphic, or should I be able to just brutally replace the images in UOT kitchen generated file?

Could any1 give me a hint what to do and wich program to use to ammend the changes? (pkzip, winzip, or some apk editor)

?

Regards and keep up great job!
[Desire Themes and Apps] KsroKiNG:
i tried to download this awesome theme for the whole day....but always the traffic is too high....i get always that error in dropbox

maybe someone can upload it on rapidshare, mediafire or zippyshare? :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hi kl_arnet, I know about the titlebar image issue, and you're correct in saying that it's "the icons fault" for non-transparent backgrounds.

I will fix that one 'stretched' looking image in the next version of my theme.

No need KsroKiNG! I have recently migrated the LeeDrOiD mini-site to a server with unlimited bandwidth (I hope it's true as they said it!), and I'm now hosting the PCB Sense Theme files there.

Please try the links again in the first post and let me know how it works for ya ;)

25 % transparent app menu background would be also nice ;)

Can this be applied to any Sense based-HTC device?

I will be receiving the Incredible S soon and would really like to use the flip effect as on my Desire (once the Inc S is rooted).
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Heya Ghisy, I wouldn't necessarily recommend flashing this to an Incredible, as the framework-res versions/base are probably different. Once HTC releases Gingerbread + Sense HD for the classic Desire (which I own), I will surely update this theme to support that framework base. Provided the resources are the same, then you should definitely be able to flash it, BUT that will be known for sure come June (hurrrryyyyy HTC!).

For now, I recommend that you do NOT flash it to your Incredible S...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ghisy:
Hey scar45, thanks for your reply.

Well, I won't be able to flash anything for now on the IS because we have no root access yet. So that means no deodexed ROM for theming either.
[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
scar, are you ever going to do a pcw for this theme?

Just amazing views.. cool
[Desire Themes and Apps] Droidzone:
Hi..

Could you tell me which xml/smali from Rosie.apk holds the settings which decide the default desktop background (to change the default HTC live wallpaper)?

I tried decompiling framework.res.apk to modify the default background from HDPI, but it changed only the startup background before we enter language and other settings on Rom install?

Great theming work!

is so cool!
[Desire Themes and Apps] MaelXca:
Hey Scar,

Love the theme! Just upgraded to LeeDroid 2.4...

Will this work as is or do I need to wait for a new version?

I'm missing it since flashing... :(

Thanks...

[Desire Themes and Apps] Nightwing646:
Did you work on a PCW for the theme!?

This would be perfect!
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hey fellas, glad my theme can still hold it's own to this day. I'll definitely be re-making it for LeeDrOiD v2.4 (based off of 2.29.405.5), but as I am trying to finish off a new web application for a client, it might have to wait a few days :(

Anyways, keep an eye on this thread and I'll be sure to post it when it's ready!

Cheers!
[Desire Themes and Apps] MaelXca:
For me at least, this is my Fav theme. Great job! :D

I can confirm that existing version works on LeeDroid 2.4, running it now with no issues (Had to do it... hehe).

An updated/refreshed version would be nice, but I'm quite happy with what I have... ; )

If you do by chance release another version, would it be possible to apply the PCB effect to the to the lock bar as well? Just a thought...

Again, great work...

[Desire Themes and Apps] c0de_junkie:
I cant wait for a updated version of your theme for LeeDroid v2.4!!! cause this is definitely my favorite theme since it was released..... I have tried adding the images in you theme to the latest framework file and all that jazz but I cant seem to get past the boot because it always goes into a endless boot loop... I will keep at it though.... but will most likely use your version when it comes out because no doubt it will be better then my version lol..... thanks for everything you do for us scar45!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] fragargon:
hi Scar, if you mind me asking one thing about your pretty theme is to change the green color on it.

It would be nice instead grey as it appear on the task bar..

Actually I m running LeeDroid2.4 no sense which means there is no windows animation at all, would be possible to upgrade a pcb grey theme which allow/fix this or its totally involved on sense rom???

tks for answers

cheers :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] c0de_junkie:
just wondering how the update is coming along scar45? keep up the great work man!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Heya apaquette420 :)

You might hate me (but please don't!), however I'm considering just waiting until Sense w/Gingerbread comes out, because I've been massively busy lately. It takes a LOT of work to properly make/repackage a theme because I don't simply 'copy' all resources. I like to optimize the s#it out of the .apk so that I know it's going to be perfect. Understandably, this takes more time.

If you can't wait, I'd recommend just flashing the 2.29.405.2 version, as it should work fine, and Lee's 2.4 ROM is still based on 2.29.405.5, which is very close and probably doesn't have much of a difference in the 'framework-res.apk' file that I hack.

I only say this because I need to make sure I get my client stuff done first, PLUS there has been news that Sense + Gingerbread is coming to our 'old' Desires in about 1 month! If that contains Sense from the Desire HD series, or even Sense 3.0 (from the HTC Sensation....but yea right!), then the theme will be totally proper, and will be choosable from within Sense (and not just a flashable .zip).

I hope this sounds acceptable to ya, and I'm sorry for not being able to update just yet, but 2.29.405.2 should definitely work for ya in the (hopefully short) meantime...just do a Nandroid backup first as always! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hi fragargon,

Thanks for the kind words, glad you like the theme. As I said in my above post, I will probably wait for the new Sense + Gingerbread update for the Desire before updating my theme. If I do that, then it's quite possible that I can make 2 versions, one with a green PCB and one with a grey PCB pattern.

In terms of the window animations, you can apply them via the UOT Kitchen. My framework-res.apk should be in there (listed as "PCB Sense Theme 2.29.405.2"), so just pick that at the end after you've made all of your customizations. I think I put more info in the very first post for customizing the battery, animations, etc. too.

Keep an eye out too, because once Gingerbread drops for our Desires, I'll get back in the theming game, I promise! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] fragargon:
Hi Scar, tks for the answer i keep an eyes on your tread about news coming. :)

Again, keep an eye out, and thanks for your patience. I will come through for you guys!
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Heya folks!

OK I'm looking for some Nandroid Ninjas who might be able to flash and test my PCB Sense Theme out on any official-based Sense + Gingerbread ROM for our Desires. I'm asking for some feedback here because I don't have the time to flash any GB+Sense ROMs and test myself, but I've recreated the theme for you guys based on the 3.06.707.0 framework version (the one included with Sense + Gingerbread).

I said I was looking for "Nandroid Ninjas" because I strongly recommend that you take a backup via recovery if you're happy with your current setup, since this is the first version I've made for Gingerbread.

I have optimized the heck out of the new .APKs that I built with my theme applied, so everything should technically be kosher to flash right onto your shiny new Sense+GB ROMs. Please grab them below and post your feedback in this thread.

Screenshot:

Couple of things to note first:

This theme supports a transparent notification pulldown, however someone will need to add that functionality into the ROM before you see it working. You should get the proper background, but it will be black instead of semi-opaque.

This is my first release! There could be issues, and that's why I am asking for some feedback via PM...that is to say feedback, and not requests (really short on time, I'm sorry, but I don't even have time to play with Official Sense+GB myself! A fair amount of people have asked for me to update my theme for Gingerbread Sense, and I wanted to help you guys out first before myself...karma should work well that way, right?)

There is no circle battery/UOT mods included. This is simply my theme on top of the stock GB Sense resources. If you want to customize it, simply rip it from the .zip, and upload it to the UOT kitchen near the last step when you're asked which 'framework-res.apk' you'd like to use.

I am short on time these days as I had mentioned earlier, but these are exciting days for the Desire community and I have to contribute when I can. That being said, if things aren't perfect time will do the healing, as this is quite a revolution in what we've been working with...our first official Sense + Gingerbread ROM, so I will do my best to adapt and maintain this theme

The ascii android art (notification pulldown background) is credited to XDA user frysee. Thanks to him for that amazing idea, and allowing me to use it!

Everything flashes fine. Both clock and theme.

I C you have changed png in charge of stretched bars (I know it was square in original)

Batery icon goes back to original.

Status Bar mods are not included.

Rest is fine so far.

Takes long to get of HBOOT image after flashing (might be slow sd card related).
[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
thx scar45 so much for this, I know I've bugged u for this for a while, also the flip-clock mod is truly awesome! now how do I get the PCB status bar? I had cooked g11 hoolm Ginger with elements of ur notification bar and had selected to enable transparency, this was flashed before ur update for GB, so that looks right at 0% opacity.

just noticed ur green overscroll mod too...:cool:

edit: just realised my pulldown bar is still the default Sense one instead of PCB too, how do I change that? maybe I should wait for 'time to heal' ;-)

what do u mean by stretched bars?
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Heya live_0978, you were the primary person I was thinking about while porting my theme ;) I'm glad you enjoy!

In regards to the missing stuff, I have since learned that HTC has moved some resources to "SystemUI.apk", of which I didn't mod yet. I went to do it the same way I normally do, but decompiling and compiling produces some errors, so I had to abort.

I'm currently looking into how to properly decompile/compile SystemUI.apk, and once I do, I'll throw the 'missing' images into it. I'll also be able to remove them from 'framework-res.apk', so that should help to trim down the size of that APK.

It's quite funny about the overscroll glow, as I didn't really touch it. Cool to hear it comes out green though! I think you can actually change this in the UOT, so next time I cook up my own personalized version, I'll try that out.

Oh and kl_arnet was referring to the bar which is the "title" of open applications when you're in them (such as "Settings", the top most bar just below the main Android status bar). This image gets stretched and doesn't really look right, so I'll have to address that (which I will). Thing is, last time I tried to change the dimensions of that image, Sense always FC'ed, so you two may have to be my test subjects if I try it again (who knows, it may work!). This will then have a proper PCB pattern instead of stretching a lot, creating the 'horizontal line' effect.

I'll do more research on SystemUI.apk as I had said, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll post up any new/final versions of the theme ASAP!

Cheers guys, so glad you like all of the work I put into this theme...
[Desire Themes and Apps] mendozinas:
To decompile systemui, u need to load framework first:

Java -jar apktook.apk if framework-res.apk

Or with ApkManager. Option nr. 10

[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
so do I qualify as a nandroid ninja then scar? ;-)

I look forward to ur updates.
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
LOL, you definitely are! Anyways, good news is that I've figured out how to properly decompile SystemUI.apk, so I'll have to make my changes and then rebuild this theme specifically for LeeDroid 3.x.

I am considering tweaking some of the actual images (which takes the most time) because I've seen mutations of my theme everywhere, and only 1 person has asked me if they can use/mod/port it :mad:

Anyways, I'll get to that as soon as possible and post up any notes in this thread...once you guys have helped me test it though, I'll probably start a new thread for the Sense + GB version.

Cheers!

For me, it causes bootloops with LeeDroid 3.0.3
[Desire Themes and Apps] c0de_junkie:
Scar45 - I know that your very busy and I just wanted to say thanks for everything that you do, but I was wondering if it would be possible to get and Blue PCB mod of you killer theme?? when you have the time of course....
[Desire Themes and Apps] live_0978:
nandroid ninja confirms this ;-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hey guys,

Sucks that it's causing a bootloop on LeeDrOiD 3.0.3, as I would assume the framework/systemui files are the same as the one I made the beta version of my theme from.

Anyways, next time I build it, I'll use the exact files from 3.0.3, and hopefully it will flash alright. Also, you can try wiping Dalvik-Cache, but that might not solve it (worth a shot though!).

In terms of the theme colours, I've got some big ideas in store, but it will take a bit to customize about 3000 image files, so bear with me. I'm also going to be re-creating the theme to be a bit sharper and better.

I'll keep you guys in the loop and I hope to release new versions soon. We're in a bit of a weird spot with the Desire now because of these new ROMs. They're quite buggy still and a lot will be changing/updating over the next month I'd imagine. Once things settle down and stabilize, I'm sure the themes will work better. I should also be done most of the work by then.

Thanks for the feedback though, it really helps to let me know what's going on!

Cheers and Happy Easter all!

Superb theme Scar!! One thing though, mirrors aren't working. Can't download it :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] scar45:
Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in and update you quick on what's happening on my side.

Actually first off, thanks for the positive feedback island3r, and I don't know why you can't download...I just tried the main links in the first post and they work (from the 'leedroid.com' webspace). Maybe try those if you hadn't already and hopefully they'll work for ya.

Otherwise, with the actual PCB theme development news, things are still crazy with my work life, but I'm chipping away at re-editing all 1009 .PNGs to be crisper, laid out better, and support 3-4 colour schemes! So, I need to first create my base set of images, then apply the hue/colour changes. After that, I will do my best to package up versions for as many Sense/Android combos that I can. Keep in mind this is a tough part, as I will make the theme an installable Sense Skin .APK for Sense 2.x+, but for the LeeDrOiD/official Desire GB leak, they are still using old Sense, so I'll have to mod framework-res and com.htc.resources manually, specific to those build versions too.

Since we still don't have a FINAL official Sense GB leak, I am taking my time now to create and edit all graphics. Once I have those, then porting shouldn't be as tough or time consuming.

I'll keep everyone in the loop! :D
