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

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.

yea bc you have to flash changes to the framework or use a metamorph style file. find a theme flash or metamorph. dump it. delete all the files except the frame work. now in the framework open the res folder then delete all the other folder except drawable-hdpi. now input ONLY the batt images you want with the correct file names. re compile and flash or meta apply

The Feb 14 Rom stops at NAND failure so I have not been able to check.
BTW these themes only work on CM7 Nightlies or also on regular CM7 Roms?

Yes. Download zip file and extract the "system" folder from the zip to your /Storage Card/Android/root folder.
Start Android. It should work.

OK, sorry if this is a bit thick of me, but when I extract the zip there is also a METAInf folder - do I do anything with that? And also, what do I do with the dock in the extras folder? I can work wonders with CHT themes but find myself back in first grade as far as Android goes

METAInf folder has only the signatures for CWM flashing. Just do as I told you and it should work fine.
The apk's can be installed manually and docks png's need to be applied through the ADW or LauncherPro Dock settings.

Thanks for the feedback and helping each other out guys .

Monochrome doesnt work

Hooray you ported it!
Thank you so much!

i tried to customize the sublime theme with alternate colours but i think somethin is missing in the zip or in the instrucitions;

I'm a beginner at this, but if you can pull the /assets/keyboards folder out of the apk by using winrar or 7-zip, and you have something like photoshop or illustrator, etc, then you can go bonkers with the image files in there.
when you are done editing it then shove it back in the appropriate place in the apk.
Note that I am not on CM7, but I *think* it should be the same...?

Cool! Let me know if you have a way of changing the trace color. I've got that question posted in other threads, but while I'm doing my own reading, can't hurt to ask too many people, too.

man i dont know, how to do that, but i wanted to do a sype theme for my honeycomb theme so i dont mind the blue trace color, but if your find out remember to tell me ;-)

I have no idea how to do it, but I can tell you its located in the libswypecore.so file in /system/lib if that helps any?

Not sure what to tell you except that I modified a working swype from a custom rom and the theme stock after reboot.
Did you modify a beta swype directly? I'm not sure if that would even have been the problem, but had to ask.

i modified the new version the one that you need to install the swype installer and then through that app you get swype, that swype isnt in system/app, is in data/app

I don't even know if this will work. For all I know it could mess things up, big warning there.
Could you try to move that to /system/app and rename as Swype.apk (if it hasn't been done already --- not even sure that's necessary)?
...or even better...grap the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so file from a working custom ROM and use those and drop your own keyboard images on that one. That's what I did and it works for sure.
EDIT: Gonna be slow in responding for a bit. Getting dragged out of the house to Home Depot. Uggghhhh.

In order to theme the swype tail, you need to decomplie the apk. Then you edit res/values/colors. You will see
color name="TRACE_PATH_COLOR">#xxxxxx</color>

[MOD] Need tester theme for IceCreamTosti v0.5 [AOKP_M3/4.0.3]

hey guys..
Lately everything's been slowing me down, my beloved HD2 still under repair (it's already been 5 days)
My PC is low end piece of crap, can't even run emulator properly.
Just now finnished on modding SystemUI.apk , and I need tester and feedback.
Recommended only for experienced fellow developers.
Its a apk,still not a flashable-zip(Still haven't learn to do this)
manually move to sysstem/app/
don't forget back-up original SystemUI

Nice job man, looks great. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you with this

anyone??

Hey dude. I replaced your SystemUI over mine in V0.4 of the ROM, and rebooted, yet nothing changed. I also tried installing the .apk from inside /system/app but it wouldn't yet me. What am I doing wrong?
I'm about to install V0.5 of the ROM now anyways, but it'd be cool to see an updated version with more colour options.

If still nothing happen, let me know..

Not really sure about that, I guess there is some problem with the mod I've made
and it does not come with set permissions as I only decompiled & recompiled the file and modded it.
Anyway thanks for the feedback.
Currently having hard time on testing out the theme without my HD2, for now will stop uploading files and just making mod with the updated ROM.
will be back after finished modding & testing with it.
my latest work for the theme are attached, but i don't know if it's working or not, I'm still new in almost everything here.
hope this time everythings went well.

You did everything wrong!
1) with install (you must use updater-script and update-binary in META-INF\com\google\android\)
2) With apk (Where is AndroidManifest.xml?)
3) Cant unpack apk (i need for my rom)
If you give me pictures (and changes in the code) i will help you! Wait for you response here, PM, [email protected]
p.s. You will remake Settings.apk for red icons? You draw the icons yourself? If not then tell where you take them, please

Hope you dont mind, I put your theme in a zip you can run from CWM forgot to sign them.. So sig verify off to flash. If you cant figure out what i did, or where to add more changes pm me. Dont be mad its all your work I take no credit, just put in a package I used. Both zips work with IceCreamTosti M3, v0.6, v0.7 and should work with any AOKP ICS build. If any of you try on another ICS build please confirm

Well I made another, your theme + red inside settings.apk. Again these should work on any ICS rom. They work with IceCreamToasti v0.6 for sure

At the first time I saw these thread [CLOSED] Red Sensation Final [AOKP B20/CM9 CDMA+GSM/Gummy 0.6.6]
when googling on theme. then try porting it with IceCreamTosti which you can see on the first post screenshot.
Then just thought about creating my own mod and took some nice looking icon in Sensation's and still using it with just lil mod.
