I'm trying to fully port a full white theme over for the Captivate. I've got the theme working, and all that stuff ported over, the only thing is it's a full white taskbar, and all the type up there is also white. So I can't see the time, anything on the notifications, nothing. I have no idea where to look to get this going, so any help or pointers are very much appreciated. In case you're wondering, the theme I'm attempting to port over is sonnysekhon's Frost theme.
Here is a good place to start learning.

Thanks, looking into it now, having some trouble with the jar file but I'll see what I can do. I love the way this theme looks, I want it to be usable though! Haha.

If you're using a froyo rom the instructions on the link wont work. They show you where to look but the code it looks for is wrong. If you post your "framework-res.apk" and "services.jar" both from your /system/framework/ folder on your phone I can change the color for you.

Thanks, it should be attached. I appreciate it. I need them changed to black, don't recall if I said that before or not. Thanks again!
I was actually able to get all the notification text changed. Only thing I'm having trouble with now is the clock. I assume that is what is in "services.jar" and I'm having trouble finding the line to edit in the classes.dex :/
My search will continue! And yeah, I'm doing this on a Froyo ROM, Assonance 4.3

Yeah you're right it's in "services.jar". Open the jar in winrar or 7zip and extract the classes.dex. Use "baksmali.jar" to decompile the dex file. Then open "com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali". The line you're looking for is in bold...
Code:
.prologue
[SIZE=4][B]const/4 v7, -0x1[/B][/SIZE]
const/4 v8, 0x0
.line 48
invoke-direct {p0}, Ljava/lang/Object;-><init>()V
The stock obviously is for white text... Change this to "const/high16 v7, -0x100" which is black.
Recompile with "smali.jar". Insert back into you're services.jar overwriting the original and push back to your phone. Reboot and you're set.
I attached the modded framework-res.apk and services.jar. Just push back to your /system/framework folder and reboot.

Thanks again, I tried my hand at compiling the smali editing to see if I could get it to work, as this whole experience has been pretty fun and I might want to have another go at it.
Looks like it took! Looks great, thanks for the help!

How about a CWM version of the android green over black taskbar when its finished. I'm on JK3 but will soon flash to a JPU based rom Di11igafs 3.0..

How's this? Close enough to the Gingerbread green for you? I went with the Gingerbread battery since the circle is going to take a while. The CWM is based off of Perception 8's framework files. Please know what you're flashing before you do it. I am not responsible if you flash this and it bricks your phone.

Thanks but are you gonna still continue trying to with the circle? It needs to be more of a neon looking green/ or brighter. Its fine but the color looks sorta dull. It needs to pop a little bit more but thanks for your effort.

Yeah. I have to rebuild the circle from scratch though so I through that one out for now. I pulled the clock color directly from the gingerbread battery but you're right it does look off when applied. I'm gonna play with it some more to try and get the color right.

Well this thread has kinda taken a turn, but for those interested, I've gotten permission to port this theme to the Galaxy S and have a couple more things I need to fix up before I put it up. I will try to get to them by tonight, but might not be till tomorrow.
Here is the preview used in the original thread:

This theme is based off of MAnup456's NexTheme that he has at Nexus-Nation.com. I am releasing it now because of the fact that I'm soon getting a nexus and the screen on my mytouch is shattered so I will not be continuing the port.
Soo.
this includes Launcher2.apk , GenieWidgets.apk , Music.apk , Settings.apk and framework-res.apk , and a modified LiveWallpapers.apk and afew wallpapers resized from manups theme
framework is totally done so most of the orange highlights are now green.
push files in system/app/ folder to system/app
push files in system/framework to system/framework
copy files in sdcard/myNexusD to /sdcard/<wherever you have your wallpapers>

this is using the framework-res files found here mixed with other frame-works to get a nice dark phone. however status bar doesnot have white text even tho it was stated the services.jar was edited for white text
ps. for some screens of the phone = http://twitpic.com/photos/miDroid_Mike
Very nice theme and finally we a good working theme and easy to install (well it was for me), so Thank You
However when you pull down the notification bar, everything is too dark (i.e background and text). So do you think you can change text colour into white?
Many thanks,

as for doing this without adb
terminal. transfer the files to your sdcard, open terminal and

cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app/
etc.
trying to copy framework-res.apk always freezes my phone. all others get through OK

I'm glad you realize that it was a noob question..the answer, however, lays in the title of the thread itself:
NexTheme for G1/MT3G - KingKlick AOSP2.1 1.6.1
Keyword: KingKlick AOSP2.1 1.6.1
Now, I might be the noob here, but I do believe that means that it's for KingKlick AOSP2.1 1.6.1 and that alone. This theme will not work on the Manup ROM you downloaded and flashed, but this will work on KingKlick AOSP2.1 1.61, believe it or not. So go back to the android development section and download and flash KingKlick AOSP2.1 1.6.1, then come back to this thread and then push the files from adb(http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/) and there you go! You'll have a fully working theme. I hope that's not beyond your comprehension as well.

Hahahaha! Extremely nooby. Sorry I'm new to this . Thanks. Your reply made me laugh.
Ok, so after an hour of trying and failing, I found out trying to get ADB on phone is to much of a hassle and a pain.
So I'm going to do a terminal transfer,
when I type cp /sdcard/launcher2.apk/system/app/ I get 8 options with letters next to each. I know I'm supposed to do this for every file but which option do I choose?
-a same as -dpR
-d,-P Preserve links
-H,-L Dereference all symlinks (default)
-p Preserve file attributes if possible
-f force overwrite (<- I was going to choose this one)
-i Prompt before overwrite
-R,-r recourse directories
-l,-s create (sym)links
Which one do I choose? Thanks!

Installing this.
in order to adb push where exactly do I put the files on my computer after I download them?
EDIT: okay so I extracted the files to the androidsdk/tools/ folder and when I go to push them this is what comes up...
"failed to copy *w/e file I try to push* to 'system/app' : Is a directory"
Finally got ADB to work! Thanks eessel!
Now that I got ADB to work how do I push the files? ROFL
I'm in the same boat lol
LOL Im getting the same message as you... I could push it to the sdcard no problem, but thats not what we're supposed to do. How do we push it to system/app??
lol I have no clue man, I've looked for hours on how to actually use abd not just how to install, the install was no problem once I figured it out.
[THEME] Rotary Style Lockscreen for EE 3.0 or CE 1.1 [UPDATED: 06/08/2010]
This is a rotary style lockscreen for use with EE or CE. The one for EE may possibly work on other ROMs. However, it could cause a boot loop if it does not work, so make a backup before trying. It may also break things non-related to the lock screen. This mod involves editing the android.policy.jar file which is why this is specific to EE 3.0 and CE 1.1. If you like this mod but it does not work right on your ROM, send me your jar file and I will mod it for you.
I got the idea for this from this thread, so thanks to JsChiSurf for the files in the thread. I initially tried just flashing his zip, and it did give me the rotary style lockscreen, but it broke a lot of other system related items. So I compared both my file and his to find where the differences were to make this modded one for EE.
You can choose either the transparent background with the date and time showing or the transparent background with only the charge status showing. I am going to try and make these with the option for a background. There is a link to a MetaMorph theme in the second post if you would like to remove the arrows while unlocking. Let me know if any of you have other suggestions.
UPDATED: I removed the flashable zip files and made some MetaMorph themes that do the job for both EE and CE. The EE lockscreen is transparent atm and comes with or without the time and date. The CE one is not transparent and shows your current selected wallpaper or live wallpaper.

2. Remove the HtcLockScreen.apk if you have not already
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/HtcLockScreen.bak
3. Download the appropriate MetaMorph theme
4. Apply the theme in MetaMorph
(NOTE: If your phone does not reboot or MetaMorph does not ask you to reboot, or your phone locks while applying the theme, wait 10 seconds and either pull the battery or send a reboot command.)
5. Reboot & Enjoy
REMOVE ARROWS
1. Apply this MetaMorph theme from here to remove the arrows.
ADD BLUE UNLOCK BUTTON
2. Apply this MetaMorph theme to change to a blue button --> BlueRotary.zip This is loaded in the theme from the first post now
Oh wow, DO WANT.
After people stop texting me i'm definitely flashing this
I would love this for cyanogen eris
going to try and flash it and see if it works as is, just did a nandroid backup
Hey,
Firstly thank you for making this!
ITS AWESOME!
secondly just a quick suggestion, EE has always replaced the kind of stock HTC green with a blue. would it be possible to do this with the lock/unlock button so it fits the whole EE theme?

Check out this link. You should be able to use this. I didnt test it on CE so make sure to make a NAND first before trying. I have used it on Aloysius with no issues.

Would you mind sharing what/where the changes are? I would like to make one CyanogenEris.
It's fairly straight-forward, but it involves decompiling the Java classes, replacing some of them and then recompiling. If you read stopxstart's thread for the white notification bar, you will see what I am talking about. I will put together a little tutorial later when I get home from work.

I know how to de-compile it. I just need to know what changes where made to the smali files. Then I can make a metamorph for CE .
Sure, It's the LockScreen class. My files are at home, but you should be able to grab it from the one I posted.

Sweet! Just tried it .. Works! All I replaced was "LockScreen.smali" . If I don't see any errors I will post morph for CyanogenEris.
EDIT:
Ok, this is weird! Any idea why it says "SIM card is PUK-locked."? It only shows it when its plugged in to my laptop.
Try replacing the sub classes as well (I think that's what they are). There should be about five. They have the $ and integers in their name. If that does not help, then it is more ROM specific. To fix it will require editing the original smali instead of just replacing files. A Little more intense, but based on your results so far, it's possible.
Put this file in your MetaMorph theme to change the green button to cyan.

Yes, yes. Funny man. I know exactly where the problem is. Minor, very minor issue. The method is just referencing the wrong strings. I will fix it after work. I spent a while getting the other issue fixed. I'm an expert at logcat and Java errors now. At least they give you the line number.
By the time this is done, I will have added missed call notifications as well.

I'm having some problems theming it. I want it to be like the one from BlackMod so I've extracted the one from BlackMod and put it in my theme so it should work now right?

As it is a system apk it does not need to be signed. The borders are because of decompiling and I did recompile again afterwards. Also it does work but it doesn't have the correct layout. That's the issue

I appreciate that but that is not the problem. The problem is that I have themed it (all pngs that needs theming) but it still stays as the matte Power Control Widget. I ask because someone might know if there are some other pngs in some other apks or if I have to edit some XML files or something. I have already created 2 themes so I know how it works (signing, update.zip etc.)

hm, assuming you know that power control widget is in the settings.apk and have edited that, my only other suggestion would be to check the framework because i do not know of any other place where they could be. however, from my experience, i find it always best to edit your apk within your theme (the actual .zip) and then sign that whole .zip if you want to avoid any issues. just my two cents for you. if the xml is stock, there should be no issues as to what is governing the correct .9.png. anyway, good luck .

Hehe it's for the Facebook app I took a themed version for some ROM I can't remember but it wasn't fully themed so I themed the rest myself and of course a lot of the 9 pngs was "broken" from the other themer so I need a totally transparent 9 png for the top thing (appwidget_top_white.9.png). Whenever I do it I just get an alpha error. I've attached the Facebook.apk (the original themed version not the one I themed) if you need more details

Hehe it's for the Facebook app I took a themed version for some ROM I can't remember but it wasn't fully themed so I themed the rest myself and of course a lot of the 9 pngs was "broken" from the other themer so I need a totally transparent 9 png for the top thing (appwidget_top_white.9.png). Whenever I do it I just get an alpha error. I've attached the Facebook.apk (the original themed version not the one I themed) if you need more details
Thanks in advance I'll be sure to include you in the release notes hehe

ok sure no problem man. ive attached a fully transparent .9.png with that name. if you want to use it for other pngs, just make copies of the one i attached and rename it to whatever name you choose. good luck . it's there but you can't see it since it's totally transparent. to download it, just right click in the left corner or a little towards the middle of the left corner until you get the option to save image.

You can go to the nexus one/droid forums and download the stock rom and take the png's out of the framework-res.apk. If you post the framework-res.apk or the system dump then I can do it for you.

ok sweet man thanks. I'll get the framework right now
ok here it is thanks so much
I will update. I am going to use assonance 4.3's framework as a base.
It looks like the white status bar isn't in it. I got the icons though. Is there any aok in the system dump called systemui.apk? Actually just give me a link to the system dump.

Alright I am done. I attached it. Just copy it to system/framework and replace the original and reboot. Take a backup first just in case it gives mass fc's.

thanks ill try it right now! ok everything looks freakin awesome .. no force closes! although i do have one minor gripe - I'm at 98 percent battery and my battery icon shows im at like 80- also the time is in white font which is kind of hard to read. Is there a fix to both of these issues? Also one last thing - is there a way i can change my gingerbread lockscreen to the froyo android one? Thanks again .. will definetely donate if u have paypal
The clock color is a quick status_bar.xml edit. The battery icons, I looked through the zip, are exactly right. Looks like the first few are a bit off. Would have to edit the .png's to make it look different.
Posted 100%, 98% and 80% for comparison.

Are you familiar with apk manager? It's the easiest tool I have found. Just started to mess with themeing myself. Used this post to get a start, very helpful.
[GUIDE] Want to learn how to theme?
I was looking for a reason to flash a differnet rom anyway. I might just try that out.

Dude I owe you man, you're doing a lot of work on this haha-I tried myself to edit some files and I'm completely flabbergasted and this is what i mean by froyo
Try the attached framework out. I fixed the lockscreen (I think. i didn't check it.) and the battery. Also try this twframework out. It has the big S in the background. I think I can to do time though. I am not experienced in smali edits. If you can find a JPY theme though that has a black clock though you can use the services.jar from that.
Don't worry about donations. My pleasure to help you.

Okay I will be swapping out the red text for white all the way to 0.

lol. that wasn't me, but thanks I also like white all the way to zero on the android battery mod. My question was on how to change the color of the sub text in the Settings menu. It's probably some tweaking of some xml file. metamorph maybe?
chance, im assuming this comes with the latest serendipity as well?
edit, downloaded see its just an updater. thank you for your hard work, this is awesome
I cant download using my phone because the download button is hidden by ads when i view the site on the mobile browser. This happens in both mobile and full views.

Very Sorry! I have pushed them as far right as possible let me know if that works better. Sorry for the Ads just trying to pay for the hosting for the kitchen.
Works now when viewing the full site, still not the mobile but that isn't a big deal. I understand the need for the ads though! What better way to get clicks than to cover up the submit button
now though it is giving me an error "content error - the requested file is too large for conversion in the gateway/proxy". Sorry for causing all this trouble! Is there anything i can do to help?
Just want to say thanks for all of your hard work new to the ROM thing here , love Serendipity makes my phone run 1000% better than before!
Now to find the equivalent of Serendipity for my wife's xperia x10a
BTW funds are low right now but I plan on making a donation soon
Just updated to 5.10 and tried out the Add-on Kitchen for the first time. Very impressed and thanks for streamlining! No problems to report at this time.
So I've been working hard to change the look of my phone. I came across this post under the i9000 themes forum for VA Green:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11129613&postcount=811
After some tinkering I got this nice epic unlock. But the Orb and Glass unlock kept the month and date. So can anyone help me with remove that? I don't know how to edit xml, but I'm willing to learn.

The layouts for the lockscreens are in the framework-res.apk so decompile that and then try removing the <textview> that correspond to the date and time.
Used rom kitchen for the first time today. Was excellent and worked like a charm.

Nice work Chance. This was great to build a mod update pack.
Running rgb v4 kernel and serendipity 5.10. The update packages compiled thru ur site aren't updating the mods I select. Haven't tried an app but the batt mod, clear not, animations do not change
Edit: 2.6.32.9 build on the kernel
Nice work Chance x4. U 2 are what make this rom so good.

I need the build number from the kitchen so I can look at the log.
Edit tested all of the above and its working fine. Was there an assert error?
