[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I'm fairly new to actually "cooking" roms, and in no way am I a developer, but I thought I'd contribute to a fairly slow developing community, just throw something somewhat different out there, a twist. I don't need the crap about not being original, no one wants to hear it. I'm aware of what I am posting, and that it is based off of another ROM. I am in no way calling this an original ROM. Please, don't hesitate to make comments or suggestions, or even to contribute something more. I'll gladly take advice and help from the community to better the ROM :D

I will also take requests for other themes to be ported to CR_Mod, but keep in mind that I am attending school, and that I have a life, and that this is a side project and it might take awhile to get through requests.

This ROM is based off of CR_Mod 1.35.531.1 OTA, so you MUST be rooted in order to flash this ROM. You can find out how to root your MyTouch Slide by reading the respective thread in the Slide Android Development section.

Almost all of the credit here goes to ChiefzReloaded, who originally gave us the rooted OTA stock ROM, MiguelTheRocker, who ported themes from other devices to CyanogenMod, which gave me the idea for this, and of course, MRagu, who originally made the AndroGreen theme.

Also thanks to TrueBlue_Drew for giving me TONS of advice and pointers while working with the theming obstacles.

Here is a full list of the modifications I made + the changelog:

12/19/10 Original

-Removed AmazonMP3 (honestly who uses that?)

-Deodexed

-Did my best to port the GreenSlide theme

-Added ADWLauncher (Don't worry, I didn't remove the Sense UI; see below for more info on that, minor glitch)

12/20/10 Revision 1

-Made minor color changes in the browser to match the theme

-More thoroughly ported GreenSlide (notification bar and its icons are now GreenSlide, UI is significantly more green now)

-Replaced HtcMusic and MyTouchMusic with MusicMod (the one that's in cyanogenmod, it's much sexier.)

12/21/10 Revision 2

-Fixed 9patch glitches (let me know if you find any, like buttons or text fields being stretched or distorted)

-Replaced HTC IME and Swype with the Gingerbread keyboard (I can't edit the secure android settings file without a platform certificate or something rather, so dragon dictation is set as the default on first boot, so the first time you enter text just longpress on the input field, input method, and gingerbread keyboard. If anyone knows a workaround or a way to set the default system keyboard, the help would be most appreciated)

-Even MORE thoroughly ported GreenSlide, the stock HTC apps and interfaces should either have the GreenSlide framework elements or at LEAST be green instead of blue. The only things that I know are still blue are the progress bar, and the big buttons in the MyModes app, the ones where you select change mode or change theme, and the ones where you select the widgets to be placed on the home screens.

-Added the circle battery meter (I love that thing :D)

-[12-25-10] Added flip window animations (If you already downloaded the ROM, there is a flashable update to add the animations [6:45 PM PST]

Issues:

-Default new SMS icon is still the old notification theme, white on solid black, so it doesn't look quite right against the gradient notification bar. Same thing with the USB icon. Still looking for the location of those two icons

-Default input method is not GB keyboard (if that's even a fixable issue)

-Browser loading progress bar has a 9patch glitch, will post an update tonight Fixed with the flashable update attached to this post. You need to flash this only if you downloaded revision 2 before 11:15 PM PST 12/22/2010. I integrated the browser fix and reuploaded it, so if you have not downloaded revision 2 yet, you don't need to flash this. (I tried to decompile the APK and edit the 9patch and then recompile it, but for whatever reason, there are framework resources missing, at least according to apktool, so it won't properly recompile the apk. So, I had to leave the progress bar blue. BUT the rest of the icons are still green. Sorry!)

I also attached a flashable update that will revert your battery icon to the regular icon, if you don't like the circle one.

Still to do:

-Live wallpapers (I'll probably just end up implementing this into the current revision, rather than bother with a separate one. For those of you that have already downloaded and are running this, I'll post a link to a flashable zip for live wallpapers, it'd be too much of a pain in the ass to flash a whole new rom just for live wallpapers) Attached a flashable zip to this post titled LWP.zip, but you ONLY need to flash this if you downloaded the full ROM before 5:55 PM PST 12/24/2010. I integrated the flashable zip into the full ROM and reuploaded it, so if you are just downloading, you don't need to flash the zip.

DOWNLOAD & INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download both of the files in this folder to the root of your SD card (the archive is for older versions, no need to download anything in that folder)

2. The GreenSlide Addons is a zip that contains LauncherPro icons and dockbar background, as well as wallpapers and a themed fancy widget to match the theme. Use it if you'd like by extracting and selecting manual shortcut and dockbar images in LauncherPro, which you can download from the market.

3. Reboot into clockwork recovery, and flash CR_Mod-Deodexed-GreenSlide-signed.zip

4. If you'd like, download dumfuq's OC kernel here, remember to edit your init.d files, or you might not boot. (I have found that the OC kernel actually increases battery life while sleeping, but it does drain quicker while awake. It makes everything really smooth though)

5. Use, you should be good to go

OPTIONAL: etu_aty provided this link for more mymodes themes if you'd like them, but they will override the green theming I did to the stock HTC apps (I won't include them in the ROM because they add 20 MB to a ROM that's already tight on space).

MORE INFO:

ADW Launcher info:

For some reason, HTC Sense has itself set as the default launcher on first boot, so you have to go into Setings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults and then press your home button and select ADW Launcher to use ADW.

I initially was just going to do this for myself, because I hated the battery life issues on CM6.1.1, but I loved the theming I had on it. But, I also loved the battery life and 2d animation speed and quality on Sense ROMs, they never lagged with window animations and such, but I disliked the inability to theme. So I thought, why not try and combine the two? I also thought why not give it to the community, contribute, even if it isn't anything too special, you know? It's not an original ROM but it has some cool things like the GB keyboard and of course, the awesome theme, that I thought I'd share it.
