Im unable to do a transparent notification "slide one not the bar". I've done it with my old X. But now I can't on the new one. I've deoxed and did that ultimate service.jar fix and still nothing. I've done adb push and terminal but I can't seem to make it work. I've seem that 928 theme but I like the way mine is right now. Does anyone have a service.jar file or anything? Im running out of ideas on what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
I've also tried ninja morph.

I remember when I had my myTouch, you could essentially pull the framework-res.apk file, modify it using a program like 7zip which keeps the file verified, then push it back to the phone.
It was nice and easy changing the graphics. Was wondering if anyone's tried this with their Slide so far? I know sometimes (only if done wrong) it could cos infinite boot = nandroid. Not sure I want to try it just yet, anyone out there doing any themeing so far? If so, how'd you do it?

Im working on one right now...i got the red slide but it has no red themes to speak of...the Fuzzy_Kittens one has a kindof a red theme to it, but all the selectors and highlights and button_press's are all still blue, and its UGLY. so im working on eradicating all the blue, in favor of red.
For the most part its the same as themeing for the G1. There's a LOT more apks in /system to make changes to, and ive found that theres TWO frameworks to take care of, the normal android framework-res.apk, and the also in /system/framework there is com.htc.resources.apk, which is apparently htc's version of framework-res. it contains all kinds of images called common_<whatever>.png and this is where i found the files that make up the default "Nest" theme. all the other themes that you can choose for the Slide are in .apk form and up until we had root i was modifying and installing the apk's to theme this puppy, but i could never find the .apk for the default theme...well thats why, the default theme is in com.htc.resources.apk, and its the default espresso theme, not a tmobile theme.
Im still working on my theme, its not ready yet, i just had yesterday to work on it, and ive made some progress, but i still have to get a generic 2.1 ROM to build so i can extract the xmls from it to inject into the ROM to change colors that are coded like progressbars, white backgrounds, etc. so whenever i get time for that ill be rollin...then i wanna try to get colorchange.jar to work on SlideMEROOT2 so i can change the clock and notif. text and stuff...alll in due time!

You have to de-odex the framework-res and the com.HTC.resources to theme

Honestly you're kinda right, I do come off sounding like a **** a lot...sorry didn't mean for it to come out that way...
anyway yeah you can do it without deodexing, I'm just using winrar to extract the whole ROM to a folder, then I go into and extract all .apks using 7zip (winrar doesn't recognize .apk files, you hafta rename them to *.apk.zip, but 7zip works on .apks without renaming them at all). Then I just modify or replace whatever images then inject them into a copy of the ROM .zip and resign and reflash...works great for me!

Re: Anybody tried theming vending.apk?
How can you theme if nand isn't unlocked? You can't write to /system partition

So wait your saying that you guys cannot mount the system with adb after you root? Doesn't sound right. Didn't anyone make you guys a new boot.img? Or am I wrong here.
By the way nvm

I'm just themeing the SlideMEROOT2 ROM and flashing it...I've only had today to work on it, mostly I was just getting rid of all the blue...I have a red slide and all the themes for it have blue or some nasty brown or orange colors...so I spent all day replacing blue with red, pretty much the only thing left is the progress bars but that's coded in xml so as soon as I can get a generic 2.1 ROM to build I should be able to replace the progress bar file from that into the ROM...just gotta find time to work on it...

I want to do some themeing without the actual coding part (I'm terrible with programming and such). If someone will send me the image files I can modify them. I plan on starting this weekend if anyone wants to collaborate. Please PM me if anyone is interested and I can show you some of my graphic design work.

Just get a copy of the rom you use, or any rom you choose, and start editting/replacing images...then resign and flash...if you'd like to look at some tuts, you can find them in the g1 themeing and android themeing sections...

Ive had my Aria for months but just switched to the cm7 ROM(Ive been running FR008 for a while and I know its not themable) and I was wondering how I could change the icons and colors of my status bar. I saw this picture with a blue status bar and thought it looked really nice. So can anyone help me get started? Thanks in advance.

In CM6 you used to be able to customize through the ROM. Since that hasn't been added [yet] to CM7, you'll probably have to pull your framework-res.apk from /system/framework (or use root explorer to copy it to your SD card and then email it to yourself or use some other method to get it to your computer). Once you get it on the computer you'll need to extract the files with WinRAR or some other alternative and then go into the folders and edit what you want with your image manipulation program of choice. After that, zip it back up (as a .APK) then make a flashable zip, copy it to your phone and flash it with clockwork.
This is all speculation (because it's with CM7) and may not work, so as always, do not forget to make an android back up.

ThemePro is a great little tool that can help you pull files, has some basic ADB commands, and other theming stuff. It is really great--I have been using it for awhile now:

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.
Hi guys,
My question is quite simple: How to the softkey buttons on the latest CM9 nightly?
I already found a tutorial on youtube which told me to decompile the framework-res.apk and edit some lines.
Alrighty, so I followed this tutorial and got a whole bunch of errors while recompiling the framework-res.
I've tried, I can't figure out how to get those softkeys working.
I hope you guys can help me out.
I just dont think its included in the kernel yet.. That is if you mean the backlit menu and back buttons. Its strange cos it was included in their pre release way back in january

I mean the bottom soft key bar like the Nexus has. With the recent apps, home, back button and possibly search button aswell. Tutorial says to edit the line show-navigationbar or something like that, and the line is there.. but doing that gives alot of errors while recompiling framework-res, and it doesn't make a new apk

i am not using CM9, i might be able to help if you upload your framework-res.apk here(if it is allowed).
i tried once, the menu looks a little misalign, so i reverted back.
