[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
If aosp doesn't put out deodexd roms yes you will have to use the themeable base, there is the cyanogen theme chooser but it isn't a full theme like it wont change the status bar stuff

I have asked aosp a few times for it and I got no responses but this workaround hasn't lead to any problems for me
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
Everything in the build prop tweak is in the base rom I just edited the lines for the device name so it says htc hero and the dpi set to 159 the open gl fix is inplace and working
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Ok thanks, I guess Ill start working on the themable base and see what I can come up with. Thanks for making it, and for all the info!

BTW, am I correct in thinking that CMod updates (after 1/26) will each require a new base?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
If you get stuck on anything there is a great tutorial over in the desire forums search for " where to find colors" in post 62 he talks about gingerbread
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Will do! One quick question: where is the pull down (notifications) settings widget located? I havent themed CM since before that was added.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
it was in the framework-res durring cm6.1 but its now in the systemUI apk, i think its part of the status_bar_extended.xml as far as the indicator color i dont know how to change the default color (my theme matches it) but i know the end user can in CMsettings
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Ok cool, thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aqualls:
Nice work as usual, Kyle. Love all the twopoint... themes. Always come back to them. Any chance of circle battery mod? Always my favorite part for some reason.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aqualls:
Also like the new lockscreen on CM7. This doesn't change that does it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
what do you mean the new lockscreen the rotary one? (actually older than the one eclair and froyo one)

or do you mean the messaging and phone sliders

both should be there
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
They are. But if you put the pattern security lock on it looks kinda out of whack. Not sure if its the theme or a Aosp build problem but I think its theme related
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
What's going on with it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aqualls:
My bad. I was on a Samsung POS(ie., Moment) before my hero and didn't realize the rotary was older. But, yeah, I kinda like that one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
yea the rotary was part of 2.0.1 (only the droid really had it), and yes its under CM settings
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aqualls:
Cool. Thank you sir once again for a wonderful theme. I'll try it when I get home. Has anyone applied the circle battery mod with this yet? And does this include the flip animation?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
no on the flip animation

and the circle battery mod MIGHT! work, we are using a different framework, but if you use that mod you will lose the green progress bars, i will look into a circle battery when i get a chance

also just verified the lock screen (pattern being off and funky) i am going to look into it the stock from does not have this problem, it might be cause by the clocktopia font, i will look into this when i get time
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aqualls:
OK thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
I can't really explain it. It just looks like its off a little. It still functions. If you try it im sure you will see it. It looks kinda cluttered

Just saw your post lol you're quick
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
hows that look ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
and then he updates the ROM again...

after looking at his changes in the post he put up

its just some visual fixes and flacc support in the music player.

so here is the choice's we've got

-we can keep the current themeable base (which has been running wonderfully, for me anyway)

-or i can update everything again for really no big gain

im leaning towards keeping things the same so that way i don't have a load of work to do, and wait till their are some big changes.

let me know guys
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oostah:
Lol wtf who you talking to bro looking through my favorites and see this post had to see if your ok man.

Edit I see now
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
im expressing my frustration that aosp updates the rom everytime it seems like i have things decently inline. i adjusted that post to reflect it a little better
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oostah:
I under stand that's why I haven't been flashing any thing else every couple days there's an update there's good and bad it's a pain to test stuff. Butt good that he's staying on top of It.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
yea i mean i appreciate his work and im glad somebody is doing it, i just hate that i have asked him like 50 times for a deodex'd ROM and he has barely done more than acknowledge it, which means when he does an update i have twice as much work to do. luckily this workaround is very stable, also let me strip out some of the CM stuff i dont really like or need and the process is pretty easy its just time consuming. i think the themeable base it going to stay at the 01/26/2010 version till next time around, if there are major changes. also it will let me get the bugs ironed out of the theme along with letting some other guys who are working on themes (which i hope there are) some time to get up and established (which means its just a matter of updating the theme instead of starting from scratch again) /end rant
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
Lol yeah man I can understand the frustration. There is no big gain from the update.

That lock screen looks great! Is it up here yet?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dean.d:
I have managed to deodex all but the android.policy.odex and the services.odex with a kitchen. If I could find the dependencies for those two files; I would be no problem for me to get you a deodexed version when its updated. I literally flashed the jan26 version as the update was being posted so I know how you feel :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
The way I am doing it has been working pretty well if you could send me the system UI napkin I would love to have a snoop around in it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dean.d:
I don't know what you are referring to with "system UI napkin" so bare with me. I have been using the kitchen from the chef forums to deodex. I can get you whatever you need. You just have to denoob me a little more.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dburg84:
Deodexed 1-28 AospGBMOD

Here is the 1/28 AospGBMOD deodexed. :D

Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
systemUI.apk i will destroy the auto correct on my keyboard, i really need to make a new version of the HTC_IME or install an old one
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
actually i dont even really need that, i was going to see how he did that notification power control scroll thing but the espresso got it in the latest nightly too so i have that now too (haha i messed with the themeable base anyway)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dean.d:
Most awesome. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dean.d:
Alrighty cool beans. I'll get to upgrade in March, so I have kinda quit working on the hero. I'm torn between the desire and the galaxy s but the desire is getting kind of old now.

I meant to quote what was said about the systemUI.apk
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
yep i will be getting my evo in about 2 weeks if everything goes as planned
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
new themeable base in the first post (still using the method i have been)

this allows us to use the same framework-res which means:

-so if your using the themeable base you dont need to wipe data

-and you can use the updated theme for either RLS

people building themes

-only big changes seemed to have happened in the system UI

-this means existing themed framework can stay along with most apps

sorry for the freakout last night
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oostah:
Its all good bro we understand it can get kinda crazy with everything changing ever couple days
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
Wow youre fast! 2 questions if I may. Is the fixed lock screen included in this one? What gapps are you using?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
lock screen fix is in the twopointthree 1.1RLS and i am using the same ones i have always used 20110107
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
Man you're quick. I wish I had more time to dedicate! Ahhhhh! Life is way too short. Lol anyway, I was just curious about the gapps. Thanks man. Awesome work as usual. Just booting now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abadasstanker69:
Well today my friend got his hands on 5 new evos. Bought mine for 150 and he wanted me to root his. I haven't activated it yet....still trying to pry my hands off this hero. Two point three is exactly what I like and I just don't wanna let go lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
Two point three will likely be on the evo when I get mine
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
$150 for an EVO is a friggin sweet deal! Are the other 3 spoken for? lol
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
Haha it is def less than I am paying too
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nilxchaos:
Could you possibly use edify to sign the theme? I'm on 3.0.0.5 and can't flash it.

Thanks for the base though!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
I will look into it im still using cwm 2.5, it stinks im going to loose my right click sign option
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nilxchaos:
Oh, I'm sorry! No need to then, I'll just see if I can get 2.5 to work. It backups better for me anyways. And since the latest ones work on it, why not?

The only reason I hate to is I have firerats. I haven't customized this ROM at all yet though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
Like I said I can look into it if you want it just might be a little till I can do it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PMDColeslaw:
Hey, kyle, any idea what would change the menu popup box's background from black to white? I am testing my theme and for some reason it changed it to white.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thoughtlesskyle:
their are 4 png files you need to grab from stock cm7 and move into the drawable-mdpi folder of your framework to give you black menu's back

the png's are as follows

-menu_background.9

-menu_background_fill_parent_width.9

-menu_separator.9

-menu_submenu_background.9

Its one of those 4 files I grabbed that info from a post I made in the theme injector thread.

Im mobile so it was easier for me I didn't mean for it to sound generic
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mamat847:
Today, I Correct and Change Arabic_Android_Plus_for_HTC_Desire_Z font and I think this useful for you guys too.

u need to root and s-off by the new method by xda.

to install this zip file u need Clockmodrecovery and install zip from sdcard.

I use it on my phone now.

Download for 1.34

sorry for my bad English :-"

NOTE: Only tested on Stock HTC Desire Z ROM 1.34.405.5

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

support for 1.72 ARABIC file found (tanx nihil38 for sharing this)

found the file developed by CE4Arab for desire HD - android 1.72 and it worked perfectly on the desire Z

Download for ROM 1.72
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
Thank you for this! Just to clarify, this will work for the Stock Desire Z HTC Sense rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
It'll most likely will seeing as how the notification bar on the attached pic is that of a Sense ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reza WM:
ممنون بابت زحمتی که کشیدی اما...

is it work on 1.72 rom?!
​
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
tried installing the zip file, but it is not working - tried through clockworkmod, bootloader recovery, etc.

running 1.72 rom

phone freezes at the HTC startup screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mamat847:
Yes for Stock Desire Z HTC Sence 1.34....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
I tend to ask questions when details are lacking :o

I have put up a mirror of the zip here

Edit: Successfully flashed the zip and have full arabic shaping, thank you for making my phone perfect! I'm running 1.34.405.5

On a side note, after rebooting I had no splash screen/boot animation which was very strange. This is the first time I've used Clockwork on this phone so I'll just blame the recovery as after doing a reboot via adb I had a splash screen but no boot animation :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
support for 1.72 ARABIC file found

found the file developed by CE4Arab for desire HD - android 1.72 and it worked perfectly on the desire Z

http://www.mediafire.com/?17lxbcwm7o7p3eq

how to install:

reboot in recovery mode

install zip file from SD card

reboot.

connected arabic font on all HTC sense application (tweet, mail etc.).

enjoy :)

PS: MAMAT, could you please update post title?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
For some reason when I apply this arabic patch or the one on ardoid.com I lose my boot-up animation and am unable to figure out why.

Has anyone who has applied this patch experienced this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mamat847:
tanx for this post , i update my post and title. but!

How u did root and s-off for stock rom 1.72??!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
I had rooted and s-offed my phone back when I had 1.34 rom; currently running virtuous .90; there are now links on xda for rooting 1.72; otherwise you need to downgrade to 1.34 to root again.

original animation on boot up does disappear, but i did not notice any adverse effects for this (for rom or functionality). this is also happening with Arabic support for 1.34 roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] haithamnayel:
Yea, same here too, I don't know if you also noticed how long dose it take to boot in addition to the lost of the city name in the home screen widget & the long time it takes to get My Location in the same named widget.

Google contacts stopped sync as well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
I am not having any slow downs in reboots or troubles with my location. no problems syncing phone either.

maybe it is related to the rom you are using?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronvlee:
I need help changing the battery icon on my Ultimate Droid Rom 2.5.0 for the HTC incredible. I love everything about this Rom but the battery icon, I tired a lot of flash zips with no luck. I just want this red battery and it would be perfect. Can someone please help me out?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cayniarb:
Try changing the color information in framework-res.apk. It should either be a drawable or in the xml file for colors (probably called something like colors.xml).

Also, before you get flamed for it, this probably should have been posted in the Q&A section.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devildog8791:
Go to the Theme and Apps section. I responded to you there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
I've been switching back and forth between several ROM's and I've been using Iced Glacier 1.1.4 as my everyday ROM for about 2 weeks now. I really like it because I can use most all the features that came with the phone when I bought it.

I do like the Genius Button and use the car dock when I'm driving to give voice commands/read texts while driving. Can I use the Genius Button with any of the new Sense ROM's that are being developed (Evil D's)? And if yes, then how?

And maybe a side question... Is wifi calling working with any of Evil D's ROM's for the MT4G?

Really happy to see how much the development has come along since the phone launched.... Great work guys!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
The genius button works with Gorilla's ROM, and I know the Wi-Fi Calling works with eVil D's Desire HD, Desire Z and G2 ROMs not sure about MIUI
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
Thanks I'll try his out. Is it like the HD Rom from Evil? Or is it like Iced Glacier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
it's similar to eVil D's Desire HD ROM, it has higher OC and some other tweaks and apps added, he also has a couple of themes you can flash over his

edit: only thing giving issues with genius button on Gorilla's ROM is when trying to use it to do a text it brings up the person but doesn't put the body of the text in the window.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
Great thanks for the info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Please help me. I just got it yesterday. My girlfriend was already complaining about me spending the money on it. Now when she gets home...oh boy.:( I was trying to change the color of the status bar. I went into system/framework, restarted and now it's stuck at the T-Mobile screen.

I just rooted it with adb. I don't have the Clock recovery installed. I don't have alot of time either. Please tell me my options. Here is my hboot screen.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ionic7:
Every phone i have had from the g1, mytouch 3g, vibrant, and now g2 it never fails to amaze me how people who dont know what they are doing manage to brick their phone in under a day. PROTIP READ learn what you are doing before you go in doing it so you dont screw yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddup1:
If you have the hboot menu and you seem to have s-off so you can restore official htc rom or a custom rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
Yeah. Best bet would be to flash a custom recovery through fastboot and then reinstall the stock rooted rom or install a custom ROM.

And hopefully not make things worse botching the recovery flash :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Yup, exacly what he said.. also, I don't think editing the statusbar from a stock is possible because its odexed, correct me if I am wrong though.. unless you really know what you're doing.. :P so now after flashing recovery, try again with a nandroid if you have yours if not with fastludeh's stock odex or deodex rom if you want to keep it stock.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
You'll need to download this to your android-sdk tools folder:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vision.img

Then go into fastboot and type

fastboot erase recovery

followed by

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vision.img

From there you should put a custom ROM (probably CM6 or enomthers) or rooted stock as advised above on your SD card, boot into clockwork, wipe system/data and install the ROM (and gapps if you do CM6).

And please remember: nandroids are your friend :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Thanks, I,m gonna go with the enomthers rom. Do I need to rename it before flashing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
Nope. Just put it on your SD and flash from recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
No, you do not need to rename it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
And just so you know, your lucky that you flashed the ENG HBOOT, without that, you would have been screwed. :)

EDIT: Oh wait, it says SHIP S-OFF, shouldn't it say ENG S-OFF if you had the ENG boot loader? Did you even flash the new HBOOT?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Wait, does he have engineering HBOOT installed? The HBOOT screen he listed says SHIP. Without the ENG HBOOT, he won't be able to fastboot the ClockworkMod Recovery.

To the OP, you probably will have to flash back to the official HTC ROM. See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788489.

And yes, as others have stated, you should make a nandroid backup prior to messing with system files. You cannot edit the framework without DEODEX-ing the system first.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Yeah I just noticed that and edited my post about 1-2 minutes ago.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Ok, I entering these commands in cmd window right? Just like I did for rooting, right? If so, it said failed, not allowed when I input fastboot erase recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
The guys above were right. I saw s-off and assumed you had the eng-hboot. Sorry. At this point you're going to have to flash an RUU and go back to stock and then try again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Yeah ummm you might be screwed, we assumed that you flashed the engineering HBOOT, and only with the engineering HBOOT can you use fastboot to save your self and it seems like you don't have it. I'm not sure what to do now, I think some one said that you might have to flash the stock ROM but I'm not sure how. Wait around for some other guys to help you out, they know more than me with this stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Ok, I have the stock rom already. How do I flash a RUU? Or can you give me a link?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Are you sure he can do that? Because theres like a sticky in the dev section of the forums saying NOT to do that unless you know what your doing or only if you flash the EXACT same ROM that came shipped with your phone, or something like that.

EDIT: And if you do have to flash an RUU, could you please explain how? I would like to know how just in case I screw something up(which I probably won't because I have been on my computer searching the forum, asking for help and to double check that what I have learned is correct and what to do if something bad happens for the past week or two) and I can also use the information to help other users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
That was a warning because if you had S-Off and root it would put S-On and remove root. It was an issue because for a while it was impossible to root the DZ's 1.72 RUU but this has since been worked around and doesn't apply to the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Ok, guys Im not an idiot. I previously had a HD2 and had no problems...just rushing to get my phone right before I go out of town for the weekend. So, whatever I have to do to get it right.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
You might be right.

Ok,... So you have gone into your Hboot screen, select fastboot, then it says Fastboot on the screen yeah? Do:

fastboot devices

in cmd, do you get anything?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Ah I see, and could you please explain how some one would use an RUU? And if you have bricked, could you always just use an RUU to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
I provided the link in my above post that said fastboot wouldn't work. It's a short thread, so just read through it. I'm sure someone posted instructions on how to use it in there (basically renaming the file and booting into HBOOT).
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
If I type in fastboot devices it gives me a serial and fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
I'm in the process of extracting the stock rom from the RUU and making it flashable through the bootloader as a PC10IMG.zip file. This is preferable because it won't touch the radios so bricking isn't possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
RUU's are painless and automated. Download the EXE from the dev section or shipped-roms.com. Make sure your phone is plugged in to your PC. Run the exe and let it do it's thing.

I used an RUU to flash my EVO back to stock before selling it. It took about 10 mins and was factory fresh.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Sounds wonderful. I hope it works for me. My current bricked rom is 1.22. So, I need to go back to the one it shipped with which was 1.19?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
Yes. 1.22 was offered OTA only so you'll have to download the update when you get things up and running again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] imakul8:
Did you say "when" I get it up and running? I thought it was "If". Lol. I hope this works.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
So fastboot is working fine. You will need to use an RUU.

try

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vision.img

without the erase one, probably fail anyway but just for confirmation.
