So I have been talking back and forth with the devs from Better Android (creators of Open Home and BetterCut). My goal has been to start making themes for Open Home. I have the source for the default OH skin, and ported in all the images I desire, however zipping the files and signing them doesn't seem to be working. Is there something I may be missing?
Could it be what your signing with? As in the test-keys opposed to the original sdk ones?
Oh, and nice binary joke in your sig. I have that as a tshirt.

do you have to have a rooted phone to make themes for open home? its something i was interested in tryin, i've never done one before but i wouldn't mind learning.
We need some folks to do some themes for open home. Ahome is kicking thier butt on that front.
Good luck tehseano, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will do great things for open home
is there anybody that has the bettercut app apk file that wouldnt mind sending it
I have it but u need to buy it on the market cause that's pirating and that's a nono on XDA

Hi!
I've looked through almost every .apk but I can't seem to find the folder where all the images for the Market.apk is.
Please tell me if you know how to theme Market.apk.
Thanks!
thats because its vending.apk...

thank you!
damn, i was hoping this thread was about someone wanting help creating a market solely for themes; like the iPhone's summerboard.

Now that would be really cool.
On another note, has anyone been able to get a themed market to stay that way? It seems the market updates itself to stock on its own in 2.1

Make it from source so it's newest version, or if you don't know how to compile, use vending.apk from a recent aosp build. I have a themed version of Market that has stayed that way for more than a month.
Technically you could consider CM-updater as the closest thing possible to summerboard. Just gotta add all the sources yourself However, if metamorph had a theme download plugin it would be VERY similar (no rebooting usually, devs can add their own sources every new release). Anyone wanna make a formal request to Stericson?
Is there any chance someone could port the theme found here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 (I am a new user, can't post links)
over to the eris. I tried to see if it would work without changing anything and my phone got stuck in an endless boot-loop. I am in love with the theme. Thanks.
If you know how to mess with the sering and stuff with your computer I think the maker of white widow says how he got it to work on his rom in his thread, I might be wrong though.

The only thing working for me are the widget themes. When I try flashing anything else it puts my phone into a boot-loop, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery and do a restore.
You do need Launcherpro plus to get the widgets, then applying the theme to them should be no problem.
If anyone was able to find that "simpltext" doc them please let me know because I searched on the makers website and found nothing, thanks.

This happens sometimes. What you need to do is go back into Metamorph and choose pick existing theme. Scroll through till you get to the XML file and tap that and it should give you the choices to theme which app(s). Thanks to RangeStang for giving me this pointer. Hope it helps you too.

asking for it is weak, but 10 pounds isn't that much. if you were to cut the cost between 3 or 4 people it would be relatively cheap, make everyone's devices look super clean, and save someone else the hastle of trying to port.
i really like this theme. what i'd LIKE to do is speak to some devs who have experience modifiying Sense, etc. (e.g. Konikub, the original dev for Aloysius). Sense with a modified Rosies and the full Minimal Matte theme throughout all Sense apps would be badnasty.
seriously, i think i could go to a bar, pull my phone out, and have sex with the best looking girl at the bar as a result.
usually a phone won't get you laid, but in this case it might!

I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

the MM doesn't skin the Launcher Pro Plus widgets... that is what I want the most of all from that theme... i got the framework from the MM(except the status bar didn't work...) but i really want those widgets...
wasn't able to port it correctly.... sorry.... going back to the MM... that seemed to work the best for me...
I haven't tried pushing the apk's yet... so thats my next attempt
has anyone else tried pushing the widget apk's and if so, did you succeed? If you're using Apps2SD where do you push to?
Hey, I'm having a similar problem. I found a CM6 build for Eris, then used MM to put on the theme since it wasn't working on my KaosFroyo ROM.
I have the status bar and notifications working great with it, but I can't figure out how to get the widgets and the icons.
i hope you guys are all groaning and this will probably get ignored like the rest of them, and i know the outlook is grim.
but i will do it anyway
- so there aren't any good photo galleries for Aosp other than gallery3d and gallery 2d
- while i understand that we need the sense framework to run it i am still not totally convinced it cant be done
judging by this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679707
and also that we were able to get the htc_ime to run on non sense phones
he mentions something about messing with the manifest
i havent had any luck getting .apk's to decompile with apk_manager even after getting some help (thanks impaler)
so i dont think we should give up hope on this one

Thanks will add to OP
I just got back from work so I didn't had much chance to play with the dump yet.
I've got 2 live wallpapers working on my N1 :
Bubbles movement
Christmas SnowCity (also need lib file to be pushed)
There is also quite a few other apps that works out of the box but mainly in Korean language tho. Nothing really interesting yet mostly bloatware...
And yes I did check the clock/weather widget, FC but that was to be expected it may require the framework to work I haven't looked at the issue yet tho...
The boot animation is also nice IMO - I like the dancing android mascot lol
If there is an interest for those live wallpapers I could post them in the apps section - let me know
Hi All-
As Bypass mentioned, I am the lucky owner. If there is anything else I can do to help development, please let me know. I am more than happy to help in anyway I can. That being said, as Bypass can attest to, I am a COMPLETE NOOB in this area, so I will need detailed instructions. Hopefully, with his guidance, I can get the the files that will be necessary for real development to begin from my phone to you guys! Thanks everyone who is participating in this!
Thats the real xda community spirit guys, let the developement and modding begin! Lets all get behind this phone and give it all the support it needs to reach its full potential. Once again i respect you all for the great enthusiasm, keep it up everyone.
is there a netflix app on here, similar to the netflix app being pre-loaded on the lg revolution? would be nice to get an apk...

On my phone, there are 14 live wallpapers available:
bubbles movement, christmas snowcity, fire work, galaxy, grass, magic smoke, Many, Nexus, Polar Clock, spectrum, vu meter, water, water drop, waveform. NOt sure how many of those have been available before....
Most seem to be the stock android ones, apart from the first 2.
What was getting root to do this like? Hard or not? Seriously considering this phone, but would mean changing operator in a while!
considering it was my first android phone, I would say getting root was not too difficult. Installed the android sdk and LG phone USB drivers. Used super one click to root the phone. Apparently I did something wrong during the process but after messing around w/ some help from Bypass, I got a full root. I imagine with a little refinement, rooting will be quite easy.

how are u liking it? performance wise?
So I wanted to make a theme for the myTouch 4G, but one that would show up in the Settings->Personalize->Themes section on the phone. I've seen this done with an app called 'Androidian' in the market, which does exactly what I want.
What I need to know is how to package it and do all of the stuff in Eclipse to make it into a theme. I know its kind of a lot to ask but please any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.
Anybody at all?
Do you have your development environment set up? Have you grabbed the available code from github for building the themes. Its easier to help you if you can layout what you have ready and where you are stuck.

Thank you for the response. I have the environment set up, the SDK, eclipse and everything. I have not grabbed the code from github though. What exactly does it do and why do I need it?
I guess where I'm stuck at is actually packaging it up into an apk. I have all the PNG's I want to use with the correct name and everything. Just need help with what I'll need to do in Eclipse to make a theme in apk for that shows up in the theme selector. Thanks for the help.
Ok, so I found the code on github and I loaded it into Eclipse. I changed the androidmanifest.xml so it wouldn't say Androidian, it would say the name I want. When I tried to apply the theme on my phone though, I get continuous FC's on the launcher and it never actually loaded the theme. All it does is say the Force Close message and once I click it, it displays the same message right after making it so I cant do anything. Why did it do that? Did I do something wrong? If so, how can I fix it? And by fix it, I mean fix the apk file, not the useless launcher (I just loaded a previous nand). Thanks!
