Branwen's Vanillan Community Theme

EDIT: DOES NOT WORK FOR 1.1
Ok so here is my first shot at a theme.
I've done some image editing on this, but mainly its a compilation of stuff from other themes on this site.
Flash at your own risk/do a nandroid backup!
How-to Theme Development
And NpRussell for making this rom
And Oshaka for making .jar's easy to edit
And the themes I borrowed from:
Luminescence by Amoredraven
Blue_Haze by Cloverdale
And Enoch's theme, which I can't find atm.
So go send those people some love
And of course

Oops, to help clear it up, its using Home++, which is a home replacement app, in beta on the market

Works with the Hero? Vanillian might be hero-only tho... still, does it? Looks sweet!

Thanks.
I think the .jar edits would cause it to bootloop, but I'll have a look and see.
But only for vanilla roms, nothing with sense

This theme work with CyanogenMod v1.0 ROM?

Is the file corrupt?
Ive downloaded it and attempted to extract the files to view exactly whats been changed but it wont extract correctly?

are this really for htc hero? after i install & reboot but the btm scrolling icon was not there.

It may well be solely for the VanillainROM, which is in my sig.
It depends exactly what's been changed and where.
Good to see someone theming my roms anyway

Brilliant news, thanx
Ive been trying to get the che changes you made to GenieWidget to work on the version in kagudroid and couldnt, I tried copying the whole apk across, just the 2 folders with the changed icons and even opening the apk on the desktop and copying the folders in and then installing it but none would work. Not exactly sure what i was doing really lol.

[DEV ADVICE NEEDED] Considering Casual ROM-building

Let me explain what I mean by "casual". I've come to find that I always end up removing stuff from custom ROMs that I don't like/don't use and end up with something much much better.
With NFX's permission (should he give it) I'd like to make a custom ROM based on my slimmed down approach, one that left me with tons of free space, lots of free RAM, great battery life, and smooth operation. I'm looking at the ROM right now, and I'm wondering; is there anything special I need to know about adding my own apks to be preinstalled with the ROM? I'd like to add Fancy Widget and LauncherPro since I stopped using the Sense Launcher. My ideal setup is one where the app is recognized by the market so that it can be updated as and when needed. Also, what can I do to ensure that LauncherPro is the default launcher?
I'd love to get into this. I'm not big on code editing but have no issue with doing so when needed, can anyone nudge me in the right direction?
Update #1: My first attempt failed . I was using Nfinite's Odexed NFX Rom. I tried to just change around the apps in the data/app/ folder. Also attempted to delete all the HTC Sense Widgets beforehand. (I do this after install, but I wanted to do it before.) Should I not be working with an odexed ROM, and is there some sort of signature process that I need to be using?

Pretty sure you need deodexed.

Like some else said you'll need the deodexed rom. Also if your altering the rom for personal purposes there is no need to ask nfinite... if you post the rom then you'll need to ask and give props.
Next you need some kind of rom manager tools so that you can sign and zip align your apk and have a flashable after you make your changes. maybe read threw the rom cooking guide on the hero wiki page also.

You most definitely what an odexed ROM. Its been a while since I messed with it, but i think you will want to place apps you want updated in /data/app. As for the default launcher, it should ask which one you want as default when you first boot into the ROM.

@[email protected] Confusion. A few people above have said I need deodexed?

The only problem you will run into with odexed vs deodexed is changes to any jar files within an apk on system. Only really applies to framework level edits. Things like removing haptic or rotary lock screen or battery percentage mods, etc.

I meant to type deodexed. I was so tired and doing ten things at once. Didn't even reread what I was posting.

Ah. Nah, the only thing I'd love to experiment with is to swap out images and png files. The functionality of the ROM and its inner workings are fine . Assuming that I can remove all the HTC widgets and a few of the apps I won't be using (using LP, so Sense Widgets are unneeded), and that I can set a default launcher, and perhaps mess around with all the status bar icons/button images, that's all I want to do

You will need deodexed

You can always re-Odex it afterwards.
I assume you've realized this, as you have a stable odexed ROM out, but I'm putting it up for reference's sake. Don't want someone reading the thread and getting the wrong idea.

[Q] [Answered] Can we you another sense theme for aria?

There hasn't been any themes for sense ui. I was wondering can I use another sense ui like this one here and have it fully working.....

Not sure what you are asking...there are tons and tons of themes in the market that you can try...what you linked to was a ROM just from looking at the topic title...can you elaborate on what you are asking?

Im looking for a zip update that changes the whole phone theme like the link that I posted. I don't like using home replacements. I hope this makes sense?

1. Are you rooted?
2. What ROM are you on currently?
3. Are you looking at staying on the current ROM but updating your theme?
If you don't mind me asking, why don't you like using home replacements?

1. Yes

3. Yes
Well I'm just use to using sense and I love it but hate to stock colors on it.
Thanks for helping me out. I thought I wasnt going to get answered.

It sucks because you could use ninjamorph or metamorph if you weren't on the aria...have you tried circle bat mod? You can't change everything but you can change quite a few things...

Remove status bar clock help? (FIXED!!)

Woohoo, I figured out how to do it! I've attached a thumbnail of the new screenshot with no clock. I have also posted the services.zip I made.
Feel free to use it, I am using it for the andromeda 3 rom....I can only say that it works for me. Use it at your own risk.
Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I've been trying to find a way to remove the status bar clock. But nothing I've found will work for the Andromeda 3 rom.
If someone would be so kind to edit the services.jar for me, just to remove the clock.
Please help make my sweet homescreen even sweeter!

Haven't done anything myself with a services.jar, though I did find the following. Here's the manual method, as well as some .zips someone made. I doubt they will work as they were made using the HTC Droid Incredible, but it was what I could find at the time. Not responsible if you try to flash these and a brick happens!

Yup, I tried those....don't work. The rom is the Armani I9010. None of the threads have a services.jar for this (pretty sure it's JL1). I tried a couple just to see, but got boot looping. I posted my services.jar in that thread hoping for the guy to make me one, but I think that thread is pretty dead.....sadly!
I've attached the file below.

Unless you wanted add your own flavor or something

yah i think once i get down how to do it i will add my own flavor but for now i was also thinking of ADDING some apps (rom manager ect.) to make it easier. as i said this is my first rom though.

I think someone should make the stock gingersense with the new 3.0 lockscreen. The new beta gingersense 2.1/3.0 are laggy do to the higher demand on RAM

ill try that. i already deleted some of the APK's but ill see if i can get the 3.0 lockscreen working. thanks for the suggestion

You should give it a try

ok i just tried adding it. im doing a backup then i will see how it works.
EDIT: nvm i dound what i did wrong... i had it all in an extra folder XD

Its kinda hard to know whats wrong with your file. It would be easier to trouble shoot if you gave your steps step by step that you took to make/compile this. Without looking at your file I could take two guesses. 1. Its not zipped properly. 2. Your update-script is messed up somewhere. Check those. Then move forward from there.
Note: If you are using CWM3+ on your test phone then you will have to use edify scripting.

sucessfuly flashed it... booting right now and ill tell you my results
No go on the lockscreen. it just booted as vanilla.

This would be my suggestion. I like the 3.0 lock screen, but it seems to be a memory hog.
What I'd like to see in a 2.1 ROM
-Vanilla lockscreen.
-3.0 Notification bar with slight transparency - white.
-Lots of cool stock looking wallpapers and any other LWP if they don't lag.
-Our KB, not the one with arrows.
Just an over all smooth stock rom.

This is a 1.0 ROM. And to get vanilla in 2.1 go menu>settings>display>stock android lockscreen. Also, the arrows one is in 3.0.

The 3.0 lockscreen will likely never work on DInc GingerSense, unless your name is IHTFP69. It's just incompatible with Sense 1.0.

yea i figured that out... i changed the lockscreen APK and it put in in a bootloop
