glad i inspired you to have a bit of a mod yourself :cool:

have a look at this thread if you are stuck changing anything clicky. when Oxygen started me and KBanause spent a lot of time working out where all the colours we wanted to change were.

The previous rom's i'd modded were all CM based rather than AOSP so were much easier with the theme settings.

what i would say is if you want to learn more about theming, make your changes manually rather than via UOT. You'll learn about the compiling, xml, .9.png's, updater scripts, where all the graphics are etc.. much more rewarding and you can apply that to any .apk file in android you want to modify.
[Desire Themes and Apps] RAZA01:
i like the theme, but the blue color is not... doesn't suit me.

i would be happy if you can change it a bit to a lighter blue or something like that.

i would love that.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
I wont be changing to a lighter blue, its currently the colour I want it ;)

I might change to a different colour when I get bored of blue though.

R this mixes well for me with sonny's lucid theme. Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
i've had enough of the blue framework now, with the next update of which ever rom i'm using at the time, my theme will look like this.

still undecided if i'll keep the blue battery & indicator or change the colour.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
added v2 for CM 7.0.0

added grey keyboard

removed oxygen theme files as the theme has changed and i'm currently using CM7.
[Desire Themes and Apps] buzzboy:
well, i was a little skeptical at first, i loved the Blue highlights, but i am impressed. Looks ultra clean. Well done sir.

framework and systemui have changed on CM 7.0.2 will update the theme shortly ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
updated theme for CM 7.0.2

also added my "crap remover" FreshInstall update that i use on every different rom i install. i prefer updating gapps from the market.

CM7.0.2 uses 107.59 MB of system after installing my theme and running the update
[Desire Themes and Apps] k3lcior:
Whats FreshInstall.zip?

nvm. found out. :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] cap11:
Strange, market ist gone, after flashing "ProperBlack (CM 7.0.2)". Tried it twice. After Reflashing CM7.02 everything works ...
[Desire Themes and Apps] k3lcior:
Same for me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
my theme removes the market, then installs my black version. works fine for me with a full wipe, then fresh install of CM 7.0.2 :)

maybe you havent got enough space on /system/ for it to reinstall, this version of CM pretty much fills /system/ if you install gapps. (CM7 hboot)
[Desire Themes and Apps] buzzboy:
New version working well for me, (Using N1 Hboot, as the latest builds are not working too well with Cm7 hboot)... The "Fresh install" zip works wonders. Saves me a lot of time.....Thanks again.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
no problem, i got fedup changing all the roms manually so learnt how to make an update do it all for me, saves loads of time :)

--------------

No changes were made to the framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk for CM 7.0.2.1 so the previous theme for CM 7.0.2 is fine to use.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
from my testing today, this happens if you skip the setup wizard and just add the google account later.

add your google account via the wizard.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Klefisch:
Hi there,

I am pretty new to all these Android stuff but I really like and want to get past my newbie status ;-)

I have two question:

- I also had the problem with the market whem installing the theme. to solve it was said i have to wipe. so is my understanding correct that i can make a nandroid backup of my CM 7.02.1, then wipe and then make a restore and i won't have the market problem again. i want to make sure i don't have to install all my apps again and make all my settings again

- I really like the text shortcuts at the bottom in post #109 but unfortunately i don't have a clue to make them. Could someone give me a short explanation or sbs-guide?

Thanks a lot!

Klefisch
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
this is what i do for every rom update and i hardly have any of the problems people continuously fill the rom threads with.

always a full wipe, never update over the top of an old rom (if you do and experience any problems fully wipe and start from scratch before even thinking about posting a problem)

- full user app & system settings backup in titanium backup

- nandroid backup (to revert to if the new rom is no good)

- full wipe

- flash new rom

- flash my fresh install update to get rid of any apps i dont want installed

- reboot

- flash theme

- run through initial setup wizard

- download titanium back from market

- restore all apps and system settings in titanium backup (make sure you untick everything in red before restoring - green settings and apps are fine)

- reboot

- setup widgets

- nandroid backup new rom image

-----------------------------

to get the text at the bottom like #109 you need to install launcher pro or similar (i use go launcher ex) and set the custom icons for the apps, normally a long press. you just need to find an icon pack you like.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Klefisch:
Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation I am looking forward to try it out after work ;-)

One little last question, can you post the link to the icon pack used in post #109.

Thanks again!
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
no problem, buzzboy will be able to tell you, it's his screenshot. they look like ultralinx (or whatever his name was) icons, although there are loads of different text packs.

tons of icon packs in this thread aswell --> Clicky
[Desire Themes and Apps] buzzboy:
You are correct sir, By Ultralinx.

Here is a direct download.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Domey2510:
so if i flash fresh install and it removes the apps that are there, can i then goto the market and download the most upto date ones available?
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
yes, as long as the ones you want are listed in the market.

i install google maps, youtube etc.. from the market
[Desire Themes and Apps] Domey2510:

just compiling a 2nd version for oxygen 2.1 as notification drop down transparency wasnt in the rom as default, will upload it in a few minutes ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
notification drop down is now semi transparent on Oxygen 2.1, business as usual ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
Just lost market on oxygen 2.1
[Desire Themes and Apps] ddv911:
nice thank you
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
how are you setting your phone up?

the only way i could manage to lose the market was if i skipped the setup wizard without signing in first, then adding a google account later. this was with a full wipe and fresh rom obviously.

i install these themes a couple of times before i upload them and always have the market, as after signing into my google account i go straight to the market to download titanium backup ;)

the market also stays when i re-flash the theme as after i test the clock update, i go back to the version without the clock
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
Sorry about that I was half asleep but got to excited when I saw your update lol. I skipped market and that no doubt was the problem. I will do it properly later when I have the time thanks.:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
cool, let me know how you get on, a couple of people had the same problem with the cm7 version aswell, but didnt say how they were setting their phones up.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
Update : wiped data/cache, flashed rom, signed in with google, retrieved rom manager from market and then flashed the update, everything working fine. THANKS str355 :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] brandall:
Love your ProperBlack theme - always install straight after an Oxygen update.

I just installed 2.1, but I've lost my market too.. Didn't install anything else...

How do I get it back!?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kharekatoh:
I've just installed this theme and I really like it, however I don't seem to get the launcherbar at the bottom with the shortcuts, I've got the stock oxygen 2.1 one :(

Does the theme come with the launcher bar included or do I have to change settings on my phone? (Looked but can't find anything:confused:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
You could try a different launcher. I use Adw ex.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kharekatoh:
Is there a list of launchers here on the forum?
[Desire Themes and Apps] gippy2:
have a look in market, Go launcher is free if you wish to try ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kharekatoh:
Cheers gippy. Using launcher pro and I'm liking it :)

updated for CM 7.0.3
[Desire Themes and Apps] tixxix:
Flashed CM 7.0.3 + gapps. Booted into android, everything ok.

Flashed freshinstall. Booted into android, everything ok.

Flashed properblack. boot loop.

All flashed using rom manager.

Any ideas.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
assuming you flashed the theme file for CM 7.0.3 and not Oxygen 2.1

try flashing it in recovery rather than rom manager? i've never used rom manager as it seems like a pointless app to me.

this is what i do for every rom change and have no problems.

- full wipe in recovery (data, cache, dalvik cache etc..)

- flash rom, flash gapps, flash fresh install in recovery

- reboot

- reboot back to recovery when the setup wizard comes up (dont start going through it or skip it)

- flash keyboard and theme

- reboot

- run through setup wizard

- restore all previously backed up user apps+ settings + system settings (except those in red) in titanium backup

- reboot
[Desire Themes and Apps] tixxix:
Thats worked. Not sure sure what I was doing wrong but using recovery rather than rom manager seems to have done the trick.

Many thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
cool :)

i've seen in the rom threads some times people have problems with rom manager, i just do everything in recovery instead.

Any suggestions?
[Desire Themes and Apps] buzzboy:
It hasn't been updated to support the new build yet, so you will encounter errors because of certain framework changes.

Edit : you can always reflash the rom over the top to return to the stock appearance.

I'm away on training at the moment so it wont be until next week.

Pull the framework.apk & systemui.apk out of the original 2.1.3 & 2.1.4 .zips, if the md5 checksum's match then my 2.1.3 theme is fine to use on 2.1.4.

Hi,

I've used your theme for quite a while now but with the latest version for Cyano 7.1 you added some blue stuff which does not fit for "proper black" in my personal opinion.

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to maintain two versions the complete black one and the blue-black one.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thx!
[Desire Themes and Apps] brandall:
I have to say, the blue doesn't suit for me either... :eek: but appreciate your hard work!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
The blue framework was added 26/12/10, I changed to grey for a couple of releases when I fancied a change ;)

Properblack is named so after the pure black statusbar & notification drop down.

I only upload to xda the theme I'm currently making and using myself.

Could I make 2 versions? Yes

Would I waste my own time doing this when people that download my files can't even be bothered to click "thanks"? No

Sent from Mobile..
[Desire Themes and Apps] str355:
Actually i'll let the XDA community decide on updates from now on.

For the current versions i have uploaded there have been 251 downloads to date (Oxygen & CM7 combined).

i'll ignore the downloads for the keyboard (53 downloads) and fresh install (170 downloads) for the time being.

I'll update my theme for the new versions of both Oxygen & CM7 when half of the 251 have clicked on the thanks button.

currently 60 people out of thousands that have downloaded my files have thanked me.

When this number reaches 185 i will make an update.

If it ever gets to 500 thanks (doubtful), i will post a poll for you to decide which colour the framework will be out of the colours i have already made.

(assuming i havent already moved on to the Nexus 3 by that time - highly likely, lol)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lifegear:
I've been running CM6 flawlessly for a few weeks now, getting 10-12 hours of battery life everyday. I wanted to give a try at MIUI, didn't like it and I did a Nandroid back to my previous CM6 installation. But now after 3-4 hours of usage I have to charge my cell phone.

Can someone tell me what happened? I haven't changed any settings, SetCpu is at 500/250 with 250/250 when screen is off...

I did all the clear Davik / Cache / partition things before restoring with Nandroid.

I heard about battery kernels, but dont know much about them...

Thanks!

Trying to decide on a case for an evo. Hopefully getting an evo with my upgrade January first and just trying to do my due diligence. Have an otterbox commuter for my hero and love it.

What case do you have?

Pros and cons?

Screen protector necessary? Never had one on my hero but I know the evo's screen is much bigger.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Seidio rugged

I have the seidio rugged case for my evo. Its only about 40 bucks off ebay. I like it better then both the otterbox and ther ballistic. It looks better...has more protection and if for any reason you ever have to take it off its alot easier to remove then the other cases.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I have 2 Seidio Rugged cases and they both fell apart with mild use. The tabs on the end snapped off and the covers are peeling. The thin rubber also tore off with time.

I have 2 Trident Cyclops cases now, they feel like they are built much better. It seems slightly sleeker but I think it offers at least as much protection.

For heavy duty use, go Ballistic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
i agree with this.

go with trident or ballistic.

personally i love my trident cyclops.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stricklerjosh:
With the Trident do you not have the rainbow issue on screen from screen protector?

Also heard that pictures from the camera have a blue tint with the Cyclops on.

Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
[EVO 4G Accessories] marctronixx:
the ballistic has more protection than any case out right now. the design of the ballistic is delightful. it is EXTREME protection. it has a built in screen protector and an additional screen protector thats optional. you can drop the phone from the ceiling to your floor and it will save the phone.. i have a mint grey ballistic case im selling for $30 bux shipped in the classifieds. smoke it over and look at the photos to check it out.

without the silicon jacket the ballistic case is close in size to the otterbox defender. you can use the included holster with or without the silicon jacket if you dont need the full protection. all ports are covered with the silicon jacket on (rubber flaps over the jack and bottom ports) the camera, LED lamps and speaker on back are all protected. the

IMO the Ballistic case is a much superior product. second to that would be the otterbox....
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Thats weird. I work construction and trust me ive pushed this case to the limit and its held up everytime. Ive had it since june and it still fits just as snug as day1. As far as the ballistic my co-worker had a ballistic on his htc incredible and his cracked while in his pocket simply by stepping up a latter. The preesure of his jeans pushing down was enough to crack it. I dropped my seidio down a elevator shaft and simply scuffed my belt holdster
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
yeah, sometimes i get a rainbow effect in certain areas, even with the premium protector. i don't really notice it when the screen is on though.

the blue tint is from the piece of plastic they put inside to cover the camera and led's. i just popped it out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JustRuin:
I think it really depends on what you're going to be doing with your phone, where you're going to be most of the time, and how likely you are to drop it.

To say that any one case is the "best" case for the evo (and any phone/thing you put a case on lol) would be wrong, imo.

Say you're looking for looks -- you'd go for something like a barely there from casemate

Say you're looking for full on rugged protection -- you'd go for something like the ballistic

For reference, I've heard not great things about build quality of the Defender from Otterbox, and Seidio cases. *anecdotal, so take it as you will*

As I said in another thread, I have the Impact series case from Otterbox.

Fits my needs, so it's the "best" case for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] live2ride96:
Unless I'm missing something, they don't make any Ballistic cases for the Incredible...
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekokinex:
Ballistic does not make cases for the Incredible. The only HTC phone they have a case available for is the HTC EVO. www.goballisticcase.com

I'm currently using an Otterbox Defender for mine and its holding well. I'm interested in a Ballistic HC because since they introduced it the case looks like a step up from the Defender. I've seen videos and read the personal reviews of people who have had both and the HC is "better" according to most. It all depends on where your phone will be and what you'll be doing with it. I don't really care much about the size. I want a case that is going to protect my $500 investment.

If you want the best protection for your EVO I'd say Ballistic HC or Otterbox Defender. Each is $50 or you can check out the Trident Cyclops which is only $34.95.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
if you dont mind the size, the Ballistic blows away the otterbox and the Trident for protection.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] Marlowr05:

[EVO 4G Accessories] taaronb:
I like the platinum gun metal case I got when I got the phone.

It's lightweight and thin. There is felt on the back inside so it doesn't scuff up your phone. The corners of the front also help to keep my invisible shield in place in case it decided to wander around in the heat.
