[Theme]Android 2.0

I have made a quick theme that looks like Android 2 from the SDK. Some icons are a bit big and the search and power control are a bit bigger too. I'm looking into those problems.
LINK: Here! <-For CyanogenMod 4.2.1 (4.2.2 this weekend)
PICS(can NEVER get this lined up right,sorry,if a mod can,please edit and do.):
EDIT:added poll for quick feedback on my 1st theme(it was quick and dirty since my RC copy of Win7 seems to hate the way I use WinRAR.... so I had to find a different way to put files in zip)

Hey,some people may want a theme that looks like Android 2 but don't want the laggy,no wifi or BT 2.0 rom that's out now,or have no theming experience.....I just went ahead & did this for myself,and shared it with xda for people to use/improve.

Good job bro I just wish it had some Android 2.0 wallpapers.

hey, you probably dont want to be showing your friends phone number like the one in the first screen shot.
if that is indeed a real phone number.

It was a number given out by @FNC on twitter so you would find it sooner or later....plus the number gpes stright to voicemail,and I just put that number and pic in to test my theme.

Here is my Eclair theme, I kinda got bored with it but you guys are welcome to use it for a starting point.

Very useful to have an overview, thanks. You can add chinacat.ttf as well. My wife uses this, works great.

i would love the Nokia font...

Exactly what I was looking for.

I have tried Fairy Dust, Magic School and Nosferatu but none of them works with non English characters (i.e: ț ă ș).

I was suprised to find that these work on my HD2 running Froyo
I tried Worstfeld, Contrary Mary, Alex, and settled on Nosferatu...Thanks a lot
I really would like this rounded font that I see in a lot of the "post your homescreen" posts. (please see attachment)

if this is running on 2.2 milestone?

make the font bigger
Many thanks
I’m using “Sony Sketch” and it looks great. However little too small so how do I make the font size bigger?
Tried “spares parts” but doesn’t work and app called “Font Size” from the market is not free, so there any FREE APP that allows you to change Font Size or is there a way to do this with ADB?

if I actually want a smaller font.
and it can be used in all applications. eg its Home screen or browser.

thanks before n after. ur fonts tricky working fine. on my milestone 2.2 nice sharing. :thumbs:

Just to let you know
Hi Love your thread
Have been mucking about with fonts all day.
What it doesn't mention in the thread is that you can goto any free font web site and download ANY .ttf file (as a zip, then extract and drop into the .fontchanger folder)
this means that the font choice is endless!!!! oh and be seriously cool.
Hope you don't mind, had to share the good news with my fellow streakies on the Dell Streak forum.
Thanks for the post has made my weekend (I know sad lol !)

[MM] Orangalicious theme for xtrsense

This a theme for Xtrsense. I have tried to get as much orange as possible in this theme. I am not done with this completely yet because there are some more things I want to change but I have not had time to do it yet what with life and all.
This theme is largely based off of droidkevlars theme kevlarmash. So most if not all credit goes to him.
Also thanks to zach.xtr for a great rom.
Anyhow here is the theme with some screenshots. If anyone can think of something else they would like to see in it or how to do some new things feel free to let me know.
Disclaimer: The only rom I have tested this on is xtrsense. I am sure it will work on most 2.1 roms however I can not confirm this. If anyone can confirm this for me that would be great.
Disclaimer pt2: If you do this you are doing it at your own risk.
Just wanted to add if everyone wants to post a request for a color other than orange, once I finish with this I will make a new one in whatever color is most requested.

Man if you could make a tarheel blue one, that'd be awesome. If not i'll survive tho haha.

it's not working on my phone tried several times using metamorph, says file not written correctly
sucks, bc it looks really cool! i tried re downloading on card but still nothing
any suggesstions?

I do appreciate the color suggestion but Tarheel blue is against everything I stand for. I would have to burn my eyes out before committing such a sin.. (cough) go duke (cough)

I was able to duplicate it. I am not sure yet what is causing but, once it kicks you out if you go back into metamorph and click on apply theme it should have it listed as an option and let you apply it even though it kicked you out initially.

Haha ah well. It was worth a shot.

Very nice theme especially considering Halloween. I have run it for four days with no problems. I did get the error message when I unzipped with MM but going right back in showed the xml file in my list of apps.

Boot Animations (requests)

Let's take advantage of this gorgeous screen and throw together some boot animations. Here are a few of my others that I've converted for our 540X960 display. The first thing you'll need to do is figure out where you're boot animation is and what it's called. You can figure this out a couple of ways, the easiest is just browsing the .zip of your ROM. You can also download a File Browser with root permission and look for it from your phone (you'll need a root file browser later anyway, I like Root Browser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582) A lot of the ROMs that are floating around right now, based on an ATT build anyway, are going to be located at /system/customize/resource/ and will be called ATT_bootanimation.zip - note: there will probably be a bootanimation.zip here too. If so, that's OK. Leave it alone - If you don't have an ATT_bootanimation.zip, but only a bootanimation.zip, that's it. If it's not there, check /data/local/ for bootanimation.zip. It could be in a number of places, if you have trouble, let me know what ROM you're running and I'll take a look. Once you've found the location and name of your bootanimation, you'll need to download your new boot animation, and rename it to exactly what your current animation is called. Now it's probably a good idea to back up your current animation just in case something goes wrong, and the easiest way to do that is to browse to it via your File Browser, and rename it with a .bak extension at the end. Now copy/paste the new bootanimation (already renamed) to this directory. Now long press the bootanimation and choose Permissions. Set permissions to RW/R/R. Reboot and Enjoy the animation. IF your bootanimation is called ATT_bootanimation.zip and it's located at /system/customize/resource/, you can download the "Flashable" zip at the end of this, and using 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html), you can add the downloaded bootanimation (which you've already renamed to ATT_bootanimation) to system/customize/resource/ in the .zip, delete the "placeholder" file, put it on your SD, then flash through recovery. DO NOT FLASH THE "Flashable.zip" BY ITSELF. THERE'S NOTHING IN IT TO FLASH. ADD YOUR ANIMATION TO /system/customize/resource/ FIRST (If this is not where your bootanimation is located and you want a flashable .zip, let me know where the bootanimation is located and what it's called, and I'll throw one together for you). Taking requests... (youtube videos, animated .gifs, or other bootanimations, please. I am NO graphic artist) If anyone wants to know how to make your own, I put together a how to for a fellow Inspire user, with links to the softwares I use. Only difference would be anywhere you see 480 or 800 you would need to substitute for 540 and 960 respectively.

Thanks to the multiple how-to's I've found over the last year or so that have taught me how to make these, and to the original creators of the videos/graphics that are used in the animations.

They're actually not that difficult to do. I'll add this to the OP too, but here's a doc I made for someone else on the Inspire that goes over how I do it, with links to the softwares I use.

Haven't played much with boot sounds. Ran into some problems when the inspire started getting ics builds and haven't looked too closely since. Sounds like you might have gotten further than I've dug. I'll look a little deeper when I get some time...if I find anything ill let you know

_calvinjohnson boot animation has been added to the folder with the rest. Here's a direct link http://www.mediafire.com/?s63tcwjqm10rb4s
Instructions in the first post still apply. Rename it to ATT_bootanimation.zip (or whatever your current animation is called), put in in the folder where your current bootanimation is, change permissions to match the other files in the folder, reboot. If your bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource/, then you can download flashable.zip from the first post, put ATT_bootanimation in system/customize/resource/ using WinRAR with store compression, flash in recovery.
Randong, you've got PM

It looks amazing! When I get some free time I will play around and see what I can create.

I don't really know the extent of your knowledge, but become familiar with the different ways to decompile/recompile apks if you haven't already done so. I personally use Virtuous Ten Studio, apktool (probably the most simple way), and sometimes I use Android Studio. Download some type of image manipulation program such as Photoshop or GIMP. Gimp is free to use and very powerful in my opinion. It's what I always use. Become familiar with the file structure of Android.
The list goes on and on, but you'd be surprised what you can find just from googling. Every thing I know about theming and android has been self taught, it is possible :good:

That's mostly what I know. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I use android studio +gimp. I also know how to decompile and recompile and sign apk files I just don't know how to understand the code for each thing

New settings commits added?

To get started download java dev kit 7, android SDK, and apktool. Setup your environment variables, after that you can decompile the apk and if you need help I should be around to help.

I just don't know what to do with the template. I know how to do everything else

The apk is stock... nothing is edited. so you don't want to install that... you want to theme that apk... so Decompile it, then theme it.... compile it and sign it.

Learn to theme first...theme chooser isn't a toy. Much easier to make themes look perfect if you know how apps work. I'm not gonna sit and help someone step by step....unless you gonna pay something....j/k
Also....
You didn't look very hard, I found six wiki explaining how to theme android...YouTube it's great too but if you gave up searching for ways to theme then you'll have a tough time searching for code and images. It's not easy if you do it right. But I'll even point you to my tutorial that has taught some great devs to theme. So it should help you.
http://www.designrifts.com/teamblackedoutapp/tutorials/
If you can't figure it out this way then you'll need to rethink doing this. [emoji4]
But
If you can get an app themed then this will click faster!
Good luck!

Thanks but i managed it myself.. All i really wanet to know which tool would be easier since there are a few out for diggin in to the android system.learned it the hardest way i think.. By taking the complete system and apps appart.to have their images and etc. But now i know whats going on from ground up .still thank you
And of course there wouldve been some actions from my side , be it a payment, a drink ,dinner etc...
