Bigloof...

Used Red Recovery to theme my phone with Steelblue theme. Firstly, note that I use Super Clean roms, and am currently on 2.9. I don't get force closes, I use Zeam as my launcher, and all has gone well from SC 2.2 on to now. That said...

Update went well, the theme looks good, so I opted to go with the themed market. It crashed left and right, so I went into recovery and cleared Dcache. Came back, and the themed market was working without an issue. After rebooting my phone, I noticed that I received an FC vibrate while my gridlock was on. When I opened the grid, I saw that the an FC ... The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. I also get the exact same FC when I mount my phone.

Thoughts?

Get your hands on apk manager 4.9 and illustrator. Everything you need to mod is in the res folder (as far as I know)/drawable. hdpi is hi def dpi and mdpi is medium dpi. Fascinate is hdpi.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
Yeah, I have APK Manager and luckily have used it enough to have a grasp. I used that and GIMP to modify my SPB. Okay, let's see what I can come up with. :-)

Oh, and @ GrainOfSand, I never could get the Samsung Widget to work, even when deleting Dalvik Cache, etc. It's installed, just doesn't even show up in the Widgets list.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Ill PM you.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Ok, I just downloaded it from from my link and worked not sure why its not working for you but obviously the 1st requirement is TW its a TW widget so TW is a must. and that is exactly what was happening to me until I wiped data/davelik-cache then rebooted. Wiping davelik in CW didnt work. I had to do it manually. Sorry if that doesnt work then im fresh out of ideas. I am not a dev, really just did it for myself.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
I wiped from CWM, that may be exactly why. I'll manually wipe and try this out. And yeah, I'm on TW. Let's see...

EDIT: Manual wipe worked like a CHARM. Thanks again!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
OK, Glad it worked.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] MarleyBoi:
Curious ummm BL are u gonna make a voice talking animation thing that came with the boot animation that 2.9 had?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdkzombie:
holy crap....switched to SC 2.8, and respective midnight for SC 2.8.....totally random ass FC's....lol market.....FC.....messaging...some threads work, others...FC...dammit lol....other than that..MIDNIGHT FTW as always :)

ok....reflashed superclean and steel blue for superclean....i cant even unlock my frikkin phone without a market FC....i feel like throwing the phone everytime i see that popup.....what do i do?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
BL,

Opted to reflash 2.9, data wipe version with Odin, and reinstall theme with themed market. All is working perfectly since last night. No more FC's when I mount, before or after unlocking my grid, nothing.

Now I'm slowly adding apps to see if there are any issues. So far, all is working well. Though... I did notice something odd, I think.

I thought that when I went into the Menu soft key that those icons were modded before. They're gray now. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Not sure why people are having trouble with this theme but I for one have been using this theme W/a version of superclean without a problem since DL30. I have recently changed to a different rom and it worked perfect with this rom to. Just want to make it clear that I think this is the best theme available for the fascinate and im extremely grateful for the work/support that BigLoof provides for this theme. 100% class. That is All.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Agreed on the quality of the application! Since my reflash, no problems whatsoever. I just didn't know if I was imagining whether or not the icons for the Menu should have been colored as well. If not, then no worries. If so, just looking to see what I could do to bring back that coloring.

The colors are fantastic!

The speed and efficiency of the theme within SC 2.9, fantastic!

And it is with my first theme that I find it exceptionally difficult to want to find another... lest I create it myself.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Icons are greyed out for me too. If you press them they turn blue. I believe the browser icons have all been themed. If you like the browser icons you can find them through a market search and apply the png files to the settings menu through ninjamorph or something like that. If you know how to use ninjamorph. Itz pretty simple.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Thanks GOs. I might just have to do that so as to finish off the look for my phone. This theme has me interested in theming. It's a good thing that I'm already OCD on several other things atm, otherwise I'd have to even ask my wife to move out because I can't find time for her anymore.

Thanks for checking your icons, as well as nudging me about ninjamorph. I'll have to search and check it out when I get a break from work today.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
Those images are forund in the launcher and if you theme them the launcher does not work. Ive only tried it once and was going to go back to it later.

I ended up using some other images from the dialer. Take a look and tell me what you think about the fonts and stuff. I'm not too sure about the font yet.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
In my opinion the font is fairly cool. Though, now, just MY opinion, I think I would kill the white outline around all of the letters/numbers graphics, to me it just seems to take away from the darkness of the whole theme.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
I agree with the comment about the white border around the letters. And the white that is in side the characters like @ and # could be transparent maybe.

Also, I'm not sure if it's my laptop here at work, but the blue gradient that is being used for the letters seems a bit light or soft. Maybe it'll look different at home, or even the phone, but thought that I would say something.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Keyboard looks awsome....IMHO
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zantopad:
+1... Looks great BL
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
Alright how bout this one.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
That looks good too.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Between the two, this one, hands down!!!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Ok, I just edited the menu Launcher icons that you asked for. Used picsay pro, root explorer and ninjamorph. All done on my phone. I know the color is off and BL is right the images are in the launcher, sorry I was talking about the browser icons. Anyone can do this and it might save BL a little time as I know theming swype is a pain. Here is a screen shot. Look at the menu icons.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Thanks again GOs!

I went through and made a list of icons I want to change, and those are some. Along with the main Menu icons, I'm probably going to chase down Phone/Contacts, My Profile, Gtalk, Email/Gmail, and when selecting a contact. Seeing what you've done gives me grand hope in doing something successful for myself.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Look, dont mistake what I just did as theming. I simply used root explorer to extract the TW.apk which allowed me access to the png files. From there I used picsay pro to grab and edit the png's from root explorer. Once I had them the way I wanted I saved them in a folder of my choosing. Then I simply used ninjamorph to replace the files without having to decompile or resign my active TW.apk. There are limitations to picsay pro like it saves your png as a jpeg and if you look closely at my edits you will see a black box around the image. You need to be really good with cropping or it will be noticable. Yes it happens to work in this instance as I was doing this all from my phone. If your gonna try theming png you are better off using gimp and if you want to try and do it with your phone then buy a better picture editing apk such as andropaint or picselpal as they can save the images as png files. Anyway, I basically just wanted to see if it would work and while it was crude it did work. Atleast in this instance....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] 420fan:
This same thing happened to me. I tried to reflash 2.9, then just the theme, but still FC's on the market (non themed ). I had to odin back to stock, odin sc2.3, flash SC 2.9, then used the Steel blue theme for 2.8 without the themed market. I had no FC's of the market, so I tried to flash the themed market. Immediate FC's on my market, even before the boot was done. I did all the above again, but didn't flash the themed market. My menu buttons are mostly blue, but I do have the notification and preferences are grey everyone else is blue.

I'm not complaining at all, just giving my experience. I absolutely love this theme and will try what grainOsand was saying about changing some colors.

BL, enjoy the couple beers I got ya last night!

Thanks again for a kick ass theme!

Any chance of getting a themed xda premium app? I bought it, but use the themed one, cuz its cooler!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
I fully understand the difference between theming and what you're doing here. Firstly, if I was to go this route, it would give me reason to start using these image editing tools and just give me something new to obsess over until the next 'ism comes along. What helps me the most is the ideas and apps that you suggest, as it prevents the learning curve of "what should I do?" since a few things are already laid out.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Cool, then your kinda like me. I used to flash everything that came out. Either because I wasnt happy with my current set up, theme or rom or out of boredom. This is the 1st theme I have used for more than a week and the last theme I flashed. Im a tinkerer tho, I have a habit of doing stuff just to see if I can. Thats why I like the android platform, customization and such. I am currently trying to port a theme for myself and while its a challenge and extremely time consuming(my wife hates android) I like it. To be honest tho if it wasnt for this forum and themers like BigLoof and nitsuj17 I prob would of gave up awhile ago.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
LOVE this one.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] yooper:
^^^ Me too. ^^^
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdkzombie:
holy ****....i cant get midnight or steel blue to frikkin install on any damn rom all of a sudden....just sits in damn boot loop.....i even odin'ed my **** back to stock and re did everything.....HEEEELPPPP...i canz no live without my midnight!!!!!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Right now I'm gathering up names of the tools of the trade, so please feel free to add to them at any time. PM me, if desired, so as not to fill up the thread, but I'm currently looking for something to do to take up that spare time when the boss isn't around, which can be for hours to when my wife is asleep and my head is still racing from the day.

And before I forget to say it enough time so that you'll believe me, Thank You GOs, as its these kinds of suggestions and ideas that get me going off on the next tangent in my life.

Be well all, and have a great night.

I use Smart Keyboard Pro.

Any way you'd be able to make this into a zip file for that so I can use it on there?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] garywojdan81:
Hey BL, just wanted to share some positive feedback. I jumped to sc2.9v & sb1.5 from sc2.7.1v & sb1.3 with only a dalvik & cache wipe and all went flawlessly. Everything looks/works great. One question about the new launcher: install with cwm or extract the apk & push to system/app?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
BL,

That's great! I hope you know that my post wasn't a complaint so much as it was a statement of observation. I know that my comments, even IRL around work and home, can sound criticizing when they're not. It's you and GOs that give me reason to want to do more to my phone other than flash/root the thing, and I hope that you don't fix too many of these icons because I won't have any to experiment on myself.

Thank you so much for this, and now I must head out of work, no sooner than I got here, as my wife is sick and asked for me to come home. Too bad boss 2.0 doesn't appreciate family, as I'm leaving whether or not he wants me to.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zantopad:
Definitely my favorite iteration!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
I dont take anything to heart. Its just constructive criticism to me, anyways if you need any help or questions im more than willing to help.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
BL, everything looks and works great for me anyway. Listen im working on porting the Voltage theme to our phone. I must say what you do is a very time consuming, keyboard slamming, screen smashing process;). While I am getting the hang of it and progress is being made, I must tell you I have a new found respect for the work you do. Thanks for your constant updates........Good day sir!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] InPocket:
I love this theme so much that it has me modding widgets!! I modded a task manager widget to fit the theme..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jdkzombie:
bigloof, i had to odin my phone, im back to eb01....on blackhole 4.2 or whatever, with voodoo, midnight will no longer boot properly....at all....its just a constant boot loop. I've tried superclean, ive tried eb01 stock, ive data wiped, ive factory reset....still no dice....what do i do? ZOMBIE NEEDS HIS MIDNIGHT FIX!!!!!......lol any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] InPocket:
Try eb01, SC 2.8
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] standupdad:
Heard of this, and similar issues, happening on the phone where flashing this file to the phone should fix the issue. After confirming the fix, you should be able to update to your flavor of Super Clean (personally on 2.9).

This will give you Froyo, but not root. I believe it's called the EB01 Development or Engineering test build. You flash it with Odin, through PDA, just like the other packages. Note that it is 450+ megs, and the flash will take some time.

This file will re-write every corner of your phone, so if there is an issue with something on the phone because of software, themes, bad modem, etc., it should fix it. If it is a hardware issue, then it will not be fixed, and is suggested that you flash it back to DI01 and return it back to Verizon for warranty replacement.

Let me know how it goes.

SuD
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
I would suggest odining back to DI01 to clean everything.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
This is my suggestion as well, HOWEVER, I have used this once, and it would NOT let me Root. It wouldn't allow writing to System. SO, I recommend using the ALL-IN-ONE DI01 Odin file, which is somewhere around here.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] tennisjunkie:
I had the same problem. It took me to wipe my SD card completely, go thru Odin and revert back to stock then proceeded from there. After I flashed 2.9 w voodoo disabled I flashed the theme version 1.5 immediately and have had no problems. Let me know if that works for ya.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Wipe sd card?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
BL, can you change the color of the google search box widget from white to shaded transparent or maybe black. I tried to theme it myself but as you can see from my screen shot its not matching your theme so well. Thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
Gos heres some info about .9 images. This is the reason some of your images look stretched out.

Draw 9 patch
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Thanks BL, I really appreciate the info. You are a class act.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Ok, try #2 I think im improving. Still not exactly the way I want it but getting better. Thanks again.

P.S I straight kanged your google icon.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
NICE bro, I like it. Gettin' good fast. Maybe put a small outline of blue around the inside of the text box in the widget, and just fill the microphone icon picture with blue, and hell I'd say it'd be pretty much SWEET.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
i think i break down 9s pretty well here too...now must finish 2 month old tutorial.....lol

As a noob with modding, I want to say thanks for that info!!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Ok, here is one I made with with a blue and black mic icon. As far as the blue outline It doesnt look right just a little to much. I have alot to learn and I guess theming apk's is a good place to start. Thanks BL and nitsu17 for guidance.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
Bro I think it looks sweet. :-)

Will I lose anything if I flash this over 2.9.1? It says its for 2.8

Flashed mine over 2.9, and all works fantastically.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
Hey Gos those last two look really good, your gonna have to start uploading them so I can throw them in the new version. I think I downloaded that program monitor widget but I dont know were I put it.

Ok, this is my first time doing a theme on my SCH-I500 (Verizon Facinate)

I'm trying to install the Steel Blue Theme to my phone

EB01 Steel Blue V1.5 SC2.8 -

I have the EB01 build....this might seem stupid but i need it spelled out how to put this theme on my phone. From start to finish. Can someone put me in the right area so i can get this awesome theme on my phone?

Thank you in advance :)

Matt
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fitti28:
before you start copy the zip files you want to your phone and put on root of card or make a folder called themes and put it in there.

I always found helpful to Wipe cache 3 times and then davlik 3 times before i flash the theme.

This is a really good instructions that i found over at android central. i am not sure you might have to create username/password to see but its done well with screen shots. go to link #4 and you will follow the Wiping Cache partition to start.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...-clockworkmod-recovery-w-screen-captures.html
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
Okay...I'll try to do this as briskly as possible. Put the theme (the .zip) on your SD card. Do this by plugging your charger/mini-USB cable into your phone as well as computer. Turn USB debugging on before this by going to Settings>Applications>Development. After that, pull down your notification bar, and it will say "USB Connected, select here to transfer files to/from your computer". Select that, then select Turn On USB mass storage or whatever it says there. Now your SD card should be mounted. Open My Computer on your ccomputer, select the drive that is unfamiliar to you from the "Removable Storage Devices" section, drag/drop the theme .zip into there. Then, go to your tray and click "Safely remove hardware", then go back to the usb menu on your phone (it should still be up right there), select "Turn off". THEN boot into recovery by either selecting it from the Power Off menu, or by turning your phone off, then turning it on while holding BOTH the volume up AND volume down keys. Once in recovery, select "Install from SD card" I think is the exact wording, or something like "Install .zip from SDcard", then "Choose .zip", find the theme .zip and flash it. Reboot. That's it.

Edit: Also, hopefully you know you need the Samsung drivers already installed.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Bigloof:
You are using the superclean 2.8-2.9 rom correct?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
wiping anything more than once is redundant..its not as if it "misses" something one of the first times that it will then get to later....if you are really concerned about wiping stuff clean you d really have to odin the dio1 all in one
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] harbormatt:
Got it all to work, all I did was install from SD card from recovery. I am running 2.9 superclean. Looks great, i'm gonna change the keyboard though...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LakerFam0824:
I absolutely love this theme! I come here daily to check for RED STEEL theme... are you still pursuing it?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] fitti28:
Did you change the Keyboard? and if so what did you go with? Screenshot maybe?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] xsstrunksx:
this may have already been mentioned, but i installed EB01 Midnight/Steel Blue V1.2SE Multi Lock Mod and Custom Screen Animations, and my gmail keeps force closing, and i have no clue why. any help would be great, cause i would hate to lose this theme over gmail. :/ thanks in advance!

Blue Steel 3.1 problem.

i am running sc2.9.1 i flashed Blue Steel 3.1 and when i rebooted it was hung up on the screen that displays samsung. Only way i could get it to reboot was to pull the battery and reflash SC2.9 through CWR. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
What? Where in the hell did you get V3.1???????
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jwalts27:
ehhh. i dont know. From on here somewhere. it is Steel Blue v3.1 full theme.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
V3.1 of blue steel is for the i9000 not the fascinate! So you are either in the wrong thread or you flashed the wrong version. If its the latter than you either have to flash your nandroid or you prob have an appointment with odin my friend. After that go to 1st page of THIS thread and download V1.5 that should set you straight. I hope!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jwalts27:
hmmmm Well i reflashed to sc 2.9.1 and i am able to use the phone again. I will reflash the proper theme and go from there. I keep reading about "deodexed". Is that gonna be a problem for me with themes. i am a newbie and this is my first theme? Thanks again.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
Glad you are back. I guess flashing SC will be ok and SC is a deodexed ROM. So your good. Just flash a Version of blue steel from the 1st page. People were having prob with the market on V1.4 force closing, so you might want to stay away from that. V1.5 has the stock market but Bigloof added a themed market to download and flash seperately. Any questions just ask, if I cant answer them someone will. Bigloof is great at answering any questions to. Good luck
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jwalts27:
This theme is awesome. Thanks for your help. I reflashed the CORRECT version. Boom. All set. Rookies like me do appreciate it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] harbormatt:
I actually just tried that myself...the only version that works is the one listed here. The other one just hangs up at the boot screen. Had to go back to the SC 2.9 and now reinstalling steel blue...oops....and yea was there ever a new keyboard released...been looking for the new update to it...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
No prob. Happy to help! The only reason I know anything at all is cause when I needed help with anything guys like BigLoof and nitsuj17 were always there to help so I guess im kind of paying it 4ward and hell yeah this theme is awsome. The guys from team carbon did a great job laying the groundwork and all the mods BigLoof made really bring it home. I wouldnt flash any other theme in fact when DL30 was leaked I refused to flash it til BL ported it.
