Requesting help creating GDE themes

I have tried opening the original default GDE theme to give myself a basic template to work from. I edited many photos and have a theme ready to use, however I would love to change the name and information which is stored on the AndroidManifest.xml.
Last night I installed Eclipse and all android addons, however the AndroidManifest.xml in the GDE skin I've tried editing, will not open in Eclipse.
As I am new, I'm positive I'm doing something erroneous that's simple to fix or solve, but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance to anybody who replies.
Jon.

Nevermind!
I'm an idiot, it literally took less than an hour of reading and investigating the xda forums.
Found the APKTool to edit and change the original GDE theme.
For those of you who actually look for themes for GDE still rather than metamorph, be looking for my themes.
Jon.

sounds promising.
.. GDE has been a bit dead lately..hopefully u can revive it.

I hope. I've tried all the home replacements, and GDE is the only one I'm really interested in. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm working on multiple colors of the hero first, nearly finished with them all..
If you all know any specific theme types I should work on that would target some crowd, all suggestions are appreciated.

theres a nexus, hero, cliq, and few other device ui's that are badass which have all been created..but no one has created an Espresso one..might wanna give that one a gander.

Funny, I didn't think of trying any of those, however the only one you mentioned having not being done yet, is the one that inspired me. Haha, I have an espresso one. It was created by someone I believe from this very community.

Theme for the ladies (attached)

Ok I finally got everything to flash for on my wifes phone as an update.zip and it seems to be working great.
The only rom I have tested it on is Eris Lightning Bolt 2.7 so I am unsure if it will work on any other roms.
I attached what i have done so far below if anyone else wants to try it out.
I'll admit myself that the look is very rough around the edges as i have just learned how to do this. Any help would be very much appreciated as i try to learn more about making solid themes. If you want to change the clock and date colors in the notification bar you can do so in spare parts, general.
Thanks to Conap for his wonderful rom and also for giving me guidance and pushing me in the right direction.
Install by downloading the attachment, placing on sdcard, and selecting themeforladies.zip from recovery.
I am not responsible, directly or indirectly, to anything that may happen to your phone as a result of you flashing this.

i would like to see your work.

This is my first time theme so while i can verify it works, I can only verify that it will work on Eris Lightning Bolt(Cyan). Have some issues with transparency on some of the images because i'm still learning what to do. Thought some additional opinions and suggestions might help me improve.

yea i will definitely check this out.

I have been working on a feminine theme for my wife and was considering packaging it up nice if anyone is interested in it for their significant other. I'll post some screens if i get any interest.
Thanks go to Conap for giving me guidance on what to do.

Congrats on finally getting it out. If you want, maybe tonight, I can show you how to make a MetaMorph file so that other users can use it as well. Or if you have all the files that you changed, I can do it for ya as well.

[THEME]Porting Starts soon. Taking Requests now

I just wanted to say how ez it was to pose as some noob ... (samsungfan05) on IRC and get the knowledge of how to change the status bar on Generation X to the Revolution 3.6 solid black bar. All you have to do is, go into the framework.apk that is in your theme that you want to use as the base using your rar/zip program and drag n drop the images from the framework in the theme you want to take stuff out of, into res/drawable-hdpi in the base themes framework.apk ... APKs evidently open up with zip programs so i could have been doing this since i had my nexus one. hell i think i might post my dock i used and made for my iphone it was hella slicc. The whole process is really simple as hell I just wanted anyone that wondered if you can do this sort of thing (i used to decompile and customize themes like hell on iOS) in android, you can. it's not any more involved either... just drag n drop. if you can't pull that off... kill yourself.
So, no more can you port this theme threads for me, i'm just going do the **** myself... or if someone has a requests, for a generous donation, i will port it for you since I am well on the way to doing so. Peace

There is actually a lot more to it.then just editing the drawable hdpi.folder in the framework...,most of make at.minimum edits to over to.xml.files in the frameworks......and use smali/backsmali to edit the service.jars
Also why did you have to pose as someone else to get information...,everyone is more than willing to share what they know

So... the point of this post is that you want to charge people a lot of money to port themes?
Wow, that's not cool.
I also don't understand why you needed to pose as a noob to ask for advice. Are you that disliked in IRC that you won't be helped if people know its you?

There really is. I've been playing with it a bit in an attempt to port the NeonGT theme from the i9000 but there's more to it than swapping a few .png's and apparently I'm not totally getting it yet. A few more hours of learning and I think I'll have it down though.

Demanding a donation in return for your work IS NOT a donation..... Seems like you are not the only one to make this mistake in the Fascinate forums either *COUGH*webstar1*COUGH*

whata duche. hey everyone, im gonna charge for this open source stuff that i ripped off someone else and changed a few icons. you can get it free from, well right here on this web site, but...give me money cause im awsome.
its one thing for a dev who makes us awsome ROM's and kernels, or themes they create them selves, hey they deserve it. but to ask for a donation for something you ripped off from some one else?? duche bag.

[DEV-ONLY][MOD] Advanced Power Menu files (updated for 4.08.xxx.x ota)

Hey guys, I've patched android.policy.jar to add more options to the power menu.
This is not a flashable zip, it is the patched GlobalActions*.smali files required to make this work. All the strings should be correct, but I haven't been able to test yet. Sorry for not posting a complete jar, I added this to my framework and realized it was not stock (had extra mods that may cause instability). I'll post up a stock flashable zip when I get the chance, but until then, let your favorite dev know to add this to their roms
You are free to use, modify, redistribute, etc. as you see fit. All I ask is to share any fixes added.
Thanks to LeeDroid for help with the code.
Thanks to snq- for the original code.

No problem, someone had to do it lol. It's supposed to show the hibernate png, some resource id in the smali itself is off. Instead, it's calling "common_icon_following_on.png". Should be fairly simple to fix, i just ran out of time.

google dex2jar and jd-gui if you want to be able to decompile them. They made seeing the java source code a lot easier but it is extra steps and you may have to repack them.

I've used this and it's great for decompiling close to the original source, but it seems to never put it back together properly. That's why most just use smali/baksmali to make sure it will go back together right.

I'll test it too! What game you going to? I'm on bedrest and that's why I've been so active here lately. Pulled ligaments in my back.

I may as well test it... Always like to test new stuff lol

Alright, link is up guys. Please test for me, I'm on Hybrid atm.
To push this to the gingerbread ota rom:
1. have the rom booted
2. adb remount
3. adb shell stop
4. adb push /path/to/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
5. adb shell start
6. adb reboot

One of the hardest games all year. And when you've got all those injuries, it doesn't help to get whipped by the worst team in the league.

Looks good! Working for me.

How did I get confused into thinking you were talking about pre-season football and Giants vs. Houston Texans? [email protected] meds..
Anyways, menu is WORKING PERFECTLY! You're GOOD!
Thanks! I'll add to my RC2 and credit you.
