Hi All
I am starting this thread to publish all the resources I use or have made to customise my HTC Rhodium. The idea is that ROM chefs can use these to customise their ROMs but that they can be used to customise a device after flashing.
The first publication is a set of icon libraries that I have compiled using Icons previously published on this forum. Firstly, I would like to say that I put no work into the graphics of these icons. All I have done is convert them from image files into .ico files and from .ico files into icon libraries in .dll format.
OK, the icons are the ones published by billyJ in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546881
He based his icons on the iReflect icon set published by bluemetalaxe in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993
I would like to emphasise that both billyJ and bluemetalaxe put a lot of work into these icons so they take 99% of the credit for this resource.
I've attached a screenshot of how these icons look in practice:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To download the icon libraries go here:
https://cid-ac854080db1a552d.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA Developers files/Icon Libraries.rar
If you want to put them into your ROM you simply need to ensure all your start menu shortcuts relate to the icon or folder .dlls.
If you want to use these resources to cusomise your device after a ROM flash you will need to copy the relevant files to somewhere on your device. In my case the root of the storage card but you can put them on the root of the device memory, or even the Windows folder (which is where they will end up if they're cooked in). You then need to edit your start menu shortcuts with something like Total Commander PPC.
Within each .dll each icon has a different index number and you change the icon displayed by adding the following string to the end of the .lnk file:
?\My Documents\Icon.dll,-4
In this case the .dll file is called Icon.dll and has been copied into the My Documents folder on the main device memory and the index of the icon to be displayed is 4. I've exported my start menu into a .zip file which is attached to help demonstrate how this works in practice.
Check out the "Start Menu Customisation" thread in my signature to understand how to change the start menu folder icons.

CommManager MOD
Hi all
First off, this will only work on a WWE ROM with the stock Rhodium CommManager installed.
I've managed to successfully add two additional functions to the CommManager. It's working as follows:
Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.
Phone: Working as default settings.
Bluetooth: Working as default settings.
Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.
Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.
Data Disconnection: Working as default settings.
3G (New): Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".
Internet Sharing (New): Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.
Instructions:
Obviously if you're cooking a ROM you'll either need to merge my modification with the OEM package of the Stock CommManager or create a separate OEM package with the files in the .zip file attached.
If you are customising your device after a flash; in the .zip file attached there are two registy entry files as well as four image files.
1) Close Comm Manager
2) Back up the following registry Keys and all their containing vaules: [HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager] & [HKLM\Software\OEM\UTMS]
3) Import the registry entries into your phone's registry from CommManager.reg and UTMS.reg in the .zip file attached.
4) Copy the four image files into the \Windows\ folder of your device. N.B it is not recommended to copy them directly from your computer to the windows directory, but to your storage card first.
5) Soft reset your device.
Original registry entries for HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager attached.

Comfortaa font substitution
Hi all
First of all I need to credit aajohan from deviant art for the Comfortaa font:
http://aajohan.deviantart.com/art/Comfortaa-font-105395949
I really like the comfortaa font that GODZON listed on his TF3D + Windows fonts thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604
However, the cab file only changed one of the TF3D fonts and I had some trouble changing the other. Anyway, here is where I have got to (There is a larger screen shot attached):
I've managed to change all the fonts, both system fonts and all the TF3D fonts. However, I would like the title font in TF3D to be Comfortaa Thin, which is proving to be difficult. To change your fonts to Comfortaa you need to copy the attached font files into two respective folders. They are sorted into these folders in the .zip file but just in case:
Font substitution now in .cab installer, thanks to starmans. Cab file attached.
Place the following files directly into your \Windows\ folder:
1) HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf
2) HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf
3) tahoma.ttf
4) tahomebd.ttf
Place the following files into your \Windows\Fonts\ folder:
1) Comfortaa Bold.ttf
2) Comfortaa Regular.ttf
3) Comfortaa Thin.ttf
4) ZZ.TTF
Soft reset and when you restart your device you should have Comfortaa system and TF3D fonts. It is worth noting that if you do not have a \Fonts\ folder in your windows folder you do not need to copy these last four fonts to your device (unless you want Comfortaa available in MS Office). However, if you do not copy them, one of your TF3D fonts may change if you install software that uses its own custom fonts. For me Bible reading software did this as it uses special fonts for greek and hebrew.
To uninstall the font:
1) Rename the copied font files' extensions in Total Commander PPC to .ttt, do for example "tahoma.ttf" becomes "tahoma.ttt".
2) Soft reset the device.
3) Delete the .ttt files.

Here are some screen shots:
I'm having problems attaching files to this post so I've uploaded the files to my Skydrive folder here:
https://cid-ac854080db1a552d.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/XDA Developers files/Green Glow 1|_1
I've uploaded a HD Wall cab file. The additional graphics files and S2U2 theme file in a .zip archive as well as the 12 manila files in a .rar archive. For some reason when I try to download files from Skydrive it downloads them with an underscore _ at the beginning and end of the file name which need to be removed.
If you just want the wallpapers install the .cab file on your device. If you want the additional graphics you should copy animated.gif and welcomehead.192.png into the \Windows folder and implement the Green Glow.s2u2 file from the S2U2 settings dialogue under "Theme".

Floating Dots
Hi all
Here is my latest customisation. It's based on this image:
http://stratification.deviantart.com/art/Floating-Dots-74063890
It's a HTC Sense 2.1 skin created using HD Wall. There are four varieties:
1) WM 6.1
2) WM 6.1 CFC
3) WM 6.5
4) WM 6.5 CFC
All of these cabs are for HTC Sense 2.1. As well as changing all wallpapers within M3D they change the standard homescreen, the WM6.5 lockscreen as well as making the bottom slider and clock background transparent. WM 6.5 files skin the top and bottom bars.
I have included the four cab files as well as all the files that are included in them in a folder. The files can be downloaded here:

Liquid Cool Theme - Source files
Hi all
I'd like to draw your attention to:
andrew-in-woking said:
Hi fellow XDA-Devs
Welcome to my Liquid Cool theme. For reference purposes installing this theme on your phone is literally like going back in time to 1993 and drinking liquid cool.
Requirements:
- WVGA devices only
- WM 6.5 (.0)
- Sense 2.1
- Stock and Custom ROMs
- Co0kieMonster HQ Wallpaper patch, for your specific version of HTC Sense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730).
- You have to be really cool to install this theme.
What does the theme do?
1) Installs all Sense Liquid Cool backgrounds: Home Tab, All Tabs and Start Menu.
2) Installs Liquid Cool default Today Screen wallpapers
3) Installs Liquid Cool Lock Screen wallpapers
4) Installs Liquid Cool WM 6.5 Start Menu backgrounds
5) Skins softkey and task bars
6) Installs Leo Style animated splash screen and secondary/tertiary splash screens
7) Installs transparent bottom slider
8) Removes HTC Sense top curtain
9) Removes HTC Sense Weather clock background
10) Installs Retro Sense slider icons
Here's what it looks like:
Splash Screens:
Installation:
1) Disable Sense 2.1 via Settings>Today>Items:>HTC Sense
2) Install "Liquid Cool Theme.cab" contained in "Liquid Cool Theme.cab.zip"
3) Restart Device as requested.
4) Re-enable Sense 2.1 via Settings>... as in 1.
----------Bonus material for GSM Rhodium Devices------------
The bonus material for GSM Rhodium devices is an initial splash screen that is designed to preceed the Leo style animated splash screen. This must be handled with care because if you mess it up you can break your phone, invalidate the warranty and end up with a very expensive paperweight!
This splash screen must be flashed to the phone like a ROM or Radio ROM. Requirements:
- GSM Rhodium only - DO NOT try this on any other device!
- Hard SPL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131)
Installation:
1) Unpack RHODIMG.zip
2) Copy RHODIMG.nbh to the root of your device's Storage Card
3) Power off your device using the Long Press Power Button method
4) Press and hold the Volume Down and Power Buttons at the same time
5) Press the Power Button button to flash the splash screen
6) Reset the device using the stylus in the hole method.
Uninstallation:
Exactly as above but use the "RHODIMG.nbh" contained in "Default Rhodium Splash.zip" attached.
I have also attached the WVGA .jpg wallpapers for use with S2U2. I recommend tPro:

Hi ramakrishna
I'm sorry but when I try the link it works. Can you try it again? Could it be a restriction on the network you are using?
Has anybody else had problems accessing the icon library downloads?

Single Icon DLL Template
Hi Andrew,
your icons really rock! However, I would really like to use one DLL per Icon (with SK Shortcut Manager). I've searched the forum and the web and didn't find one single solution that works to produce DLL's that get recognized by SK Shortcut Manager...
I've tried BeCyIconGrabber, Microangelo & VBCE Icons Tool. All of them could not generate a DLL that is recognized by SK Shortcut Manager. Your DLLs -> no problem.
Could you please-please-please give me a hint or (even better) upload a template DLL containing exactly one icon?
Thanks a lot!
IconFX
Hi all
I use IconFX. It's free and very good. That and GIMP for editing images.

Single Icon DLL Template
Hi Andrew,
thanks for the tip, I tried IcoFX and I really like it. Unfortunately, I was not able to accomplish making one DLL containing exactly one icon for use with SK... I (think) I tried everything. Even making a ICL file and renaming it to DLL...
How did you generate you e.g. Office-DLL? Could you generate one template with only one icon? You would save my weekend!
Thank you & Greetings from Vienna!

Hi Griechenland
1) Save my .dll files to a location on your computer, e.g. Documents or Desktop.
2) Open IconFX and in the menu select "Tools and then" "Resource Editor..."
3) In the dialogue box that opens select the open button which is the normal opening folder icon second in from the left.
4) Browse to the folder where you saved the icon libraries and select the one which contains the icon you want to use.
5) You should now see a number of icons in the dialogue box with a number below them. Go through each icon you don't want, right click on it and select "Delete", until you are just left with one icon.
6) Click on the "Close" button on the bottom right of the dialogue box and you will ask if you want to save your icon library.
7) Select "Yes" and you should get a message to say successfully saved.
Your original icon library will be renamed to Office.dll.bak, for example, and your new one will be saved as Office.dll where Office.dll was the original name of your icon library so if you have deleted all but the Pocket Word icons from the library you would want to rename the new icon library, Office.dll to Word.dll and Office.dll.bak back to Office.dll.
Hope that helps

Tools -> Resource Editor
Now you really made my weekend! Thank you very very much!
And I can't believe I missed it (it's so easy). I just checked with SK - works like a charm! Maybe I just didn't expect a "delete-icons" functionality because all the other tools I've tried didn't have one... I just deinstalled all other tools and I'll stick with IcoFX.
I created/ported skins for HTC Sense 2.0 (Froyo) roms and decided to share my work.
Rule1: You MUST have permission to edit and post anywhere my skins. Reposting skins is NOT allowed. Read xda forum rules point 12.
Rule2: I will not fulfill personal requests, but I'm open for intelligent sugestions.
FAQ:
Q: Skins for my Gingerbread Sense rom don't work.
A: Skins for Gingerbread HTC Sense 2.1 based on Desire HD/S roms are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
Q: Skins for my Thunderbolt 4G, Incredible S or Desire Z Gingerbread Sense rom don't work.
A: Skins for Thunderbolt 4G, Incredible S and Desire Z Gingerbread Sense 2.1 are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122229
Q: I like your skins so I post "THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!!!!!!!"
A: I am doing this to please you all. If someone want to thank me, then at the bottom of every post is "THANKS" button, so it's not necessary to post 'thanks posts', keep thread clear. But from other side it's also very motivating for me
Q: Why is there so many screenshots and I only see 4 skins to download?
A: Skins are ready to download in my post #1, #2, #3, #6 and #7.
Q: How to install skin?
A: Well, just install (download skin, move it to phone's SD card and with any file manager install it).
Q: How to uninstall skin?
A: Go to Skin Picker (menu where you are choosing skins), press "Menu" button and choose "Delete" option.
Q: Why flip clock don't flip?
A: When flipping animation is on flip clock is using some stock white .pngs for it that are placed in the rom. When clock in the skin is changed then for flip animation the same stock .pngs are used which resulting in glitches. That is why every skin with stock clock will have enabled flip animation and those skins with custom clocks will not.
Q: Why skin is not changing all .pngs that I want?
A: Skins have limited capability in theming look of rom - this is the downside compared to flashable theme. For pros: skins are easy to create, they're covering most of the look of rom, they're light, you don't need root, they're quickly changeable (don't need to reset).
Q: Why skin is downloading as ".bin" file?
A: Because you are using browser in your phone to download skin. Use your PC browser to download or use XDA official Android app and download via it.
Q: I created my skin and after installation it restarts whole system or some stock apps.
A: Check each of .pngs if they are properly named. Couple of times for me skin was restarting whole system because I had double spacebar in one of the names of one .png.
Q: Where did you get those fancy folder icons?
A: Icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646967 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604469. App for folders is SiMi Folder Pro (also Folder Organizer is great).

Complete guide to SKINs for Sense 2.0
Rule: Now remember: if you want post result of your work (modified skin) you MUST have permission to use .png's from person who originally created them or also from me (if you are using png's from one of my skins in this thread). If you are only modifying skins for personal use, you can use what you want without asking anybody.
Note1: I'm using Windows 7 32 Bit PC, so tutorial is written for this platform. In "[]" are my comments. If you seeing "" you're not writing it, only sentence between them.
Note2: If you want relese skin, post it, and I will create link to your post in my second post, over tutorial.
Note3: If anybody would have any problems or will find any bug in my tutorial - post it.
So, you have awesome idea for a skin for Desire HD, but you don't know how to build it? Here is your answer:
Download & install 7zip.
Download & install Java Development Kit (JDK) & Java Runtime Environment (JRE): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Download & install Android Software Development Kit (SDK): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Download Auto-sign.zip by Dave Da illest 1: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uwzjjydnm2r
Download Apktool by Brut.alll: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
I. Installation of Auto-sign:
1. Unpack Auto-sign.zip to any folder and you're done.
II. Installation of Apktool:
1. Unpack: "apktool-install-windows-2.2_r01-3.tar.bz2" and "apktool1.3.2.tar.bz2" to "C:/Windows" directory.
2. Pull from your Desire HD: framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. They are in "root/system/framework" directory. Save them on your PC.
3. Place com.htc.resources.apk in "C:/Users/'your name'/" directory.
4. Open terminal/command line [Start->Run->type "cmd"->press <enter>] and type "apktool", press <enter>. Then you should see usage help.
5. Write: "apktool if com.htc.resources.apk DesireHD" [There should be created directory "C:/Users/"your name"/apktool/framework" and 2 apk files in it].
III. We will start with modifying standard, HTC made Slate skin. First, we must pull Slate.apk from "root/system/app" folder. In this directry there are also skis: Metal.apk, Wood.apk, Blackboard.apk.
1. Extract pulled Slate.apk with 7zip. [Right mouse button click on skin .apk, from menu choose: 7zip->Extract to "Slate\"]. Now you can edit/replace all .png's stored in "Slate/res/drawable-hdpi; drawable-port-hdpi; drawable-land-hdpi".
2. Place pulled original Slate.apk in "C:/" directory.
3. In command line write: "apktool d -f -t DesireHD C:/Slate.apk".
4. There should be created directory "C:/Users/"your name"/Slate".
5. Editing name of skin, colors, and other miscellaneous things [in decompiled .xml files]:
a. Name of skin: with notepad we are editing AndroidManifest.xml in "C:/Users/"your name"/Slate" folder.
-line: <manifest android:hasCode="false" android:versionCode="8" android:versionName="2.2" package="com.htc.skin.Slate"
change to: <manifest android:hasCode="false" android:versionCode="8" android:versionName="2.2" package="com.htc.skin."your name of skin without spacebar""
with notepad we are editing strings.xml in "C:/Users/"your name"/Slate/res/values" folder.
-line: <string name="skin_name">Slate</string>
change to: <string name="skin_name">"your name of skin"</string>
b. Colors: with notepad we are editing colors.xml in "C:/Users/"your name"/Slate/res/values" folder. [Colors of specified areas of Sense UI are in HTML code. You can check and edit them with help of some sites].
c. Flipping of clock and screen indicator courve line: with notepad we are editing integers.xml in "C:/Users/"your name"/Slate/res/values" folder.
-line: <integer name="clockwidget_flip">1</integer> means that clock will flip. If "1" changed to "0", clock will not flip.
-line: <integer name="rosie_scrollbar_curve">0</integer> means that screen indicator will move in curve line. If "0" changed to "1", indicator will move in strait line [there is no mistake here!].
6. Now if you edited .xml's in the way you want, you must compile .apk of skin. In command line write: "apktool b -f C:/Users/"your name"/Slate "your name of skin without spacebar".apk" [for example: apktool b -f C:/Users/****/Slate Dick_Slate.apk].
7. In "C:/Users/"your name"/" directory will appear compiled skin .apk.
8. Open it with 7zip. [Right mouse button click on skin .apk, from menu choose: 7zip->Open archive]. You will see in this directory 2 folders: assets & res, and 2 files: AndroidManifest.xml [which is edited already] & resources.arsc.
a. In "assets/image" directory there are stored preview.png [which you see when you choosing skin in Skin Picker, on your phone] and wallpaper.jpg.
b. In "res" directory there are folders: drawable [which contains .xml's], drawable-hdpi, drawable-land-hdpi & drawable-port-hdpi [containing .png's which you will replace]. Now you can drag'n'drop previously prepared
[in point III.1.] .png's [or whole folders], so your new files replace those in opened .apk. Close 7zip window.
9. Now take edited "your name of skin without spacebar".apk to Auto-sign root directory [see point I.]. Change it's name to update.zip. Drag'n'drop update.zip at Sign.bat file and in command window press <enter> when signing will be finished. There should appear new file called update_signed.zip. Now you can change it's name to "name of you skin".apk and youre done. This file is installable on your Desire HD.

Thanks. Much appreciate
Thanks man.
Looking forward to more delicious themes from you.
P.S. A personal request. I really like the Common Sense theme from the link in your post.
Man, your killing it with these new skins. Great job! My only suggestion is to modify the white skin where it says "phone" on the launcher to make it more centered. Like maybe scoot the dots over to the left and bring the word "Phone" down next to the dots. But your doing a great job, i know porting the little parts of the skins are NOT easy! Its so cool we can just install an apk now and totally change everything.
GREAT JOB
Hi sopL87,Excellent work,the themes look amazing, great job, look forward to future themes from you.....

Thanks. About Phone label it's impossible to move or delete it. I can only change icon next to it. I will modify it to show standard 'phone' icon so Phone label would be more centered

Updated OBsensed skin. Now all setting widgets, like bluetooth, wifi, autorotation, are in OBsensed-white style. Also added some minor modifications.
Thanks man for giving us the new Common Sense theme which I requested.
Great Job.
Also can we have theme components on the dialer? And also can the background of the App Drawer be changed from black to something else?
Thanks for everything

1.What you need before the flash
Root, S-Off, Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod und ROM Manager
2. Install
IMPORTANT - backup your system with Rom Manager
* Uninstall Facebook Update in case widget is not like screenshots
* LauncherPro Users - uninstall before you flash the theme (Plus User delete the launcher.apk from zip and theme LPro Plus via metamorph)
* Copy ElegantBluesDHD.zip to SD Card
* Open Rom Manager and install from SD Card or directly from recovery
* Choose ElegantBluesDHD.zip, then your DHD boots in Recovery and installs the theme, copies the Icon Pack and Wallpaper to your SD Card
* Choose your favorite Wallpaper from sdcard/wallpaper (6 Options), if you like customize your shortcuts with the icon pack. The blue wall from the screens has a better resolution, if you pick it from gallery.
Icons can be best applied with Desktop Visualizer (if you use Rosie) or directly with LauncherPro.

IMPORTANT: If you are on stock ROM or not on a 2.2.1 and 1.72 based ROM (see system info in settings) , don`t flash this theme!
Known issues:
Just in case you have Weather FC`s after applying the theme, just do the following:
Uncheck sound effects in weather app settings
In case the FC comes already after opening the weather app (which is rare) and you can`t access settings in weather app, just do the following:
Go to applications, select manage, select all
Look for weather provider and delete data
IMPORTANT: kill your network connection (airplane mode)
Open weather, this will now not be able to update as connection is off
Apply settings, disable sound
Restore network connection

Awesome!! Thanks!
Now it is perfect!
Thanks for bringing this great theme to XDA!
It's just that i looked at the zip directory of your Splashscreen and its an splash1.img file inside, shouldnt it be a .bmp file for Android Splash Flasher?
Yours sincerely!
You are right, I was one step ahead... you can flash the splash img by:
Copy the image in your tools folder of SDK
Boot into bootloader, connecting your DHD
Open cmd and navigate to tools folder
type: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
Then reboot with: fastboot reboot
I uploaded the bmp now.
Nice theme he_stheone64...
Another great solution/option for DHD users...
Sent from my DesireHD with Mixed_Theme
Omfg looks great! I combined it with your RosieOnSteroids
just one thing, imho the htc clock widget background is a bit too dark.
IMPORTANT: If you are on stock ROM or not on a 2.2.1 and 1.72 based ROM (see system info in settings) , don`t flash this theme!
I'm running Cool ROM v5, 2.2.1, and 1.72 but can't have it flashed, just the wallpaper that shows. What should I do?
Thanks.
Fresh & clean... I like it !
Wow! Simply beautiful... !
sort of new to this stuff, im having a hard time figuring out how to apply icons, and there is no update.zip on my sd card , can anyone break it down for me please?
May i suggest you put the autobrightness tweak here?

That might be changed going forward, that theme is still in it`s infancy, even if it`s a kid of my Milestone Summer Blues, but Sense is so different, that it will still be a long journey. It is like a new flat, it`s never ready.

That might be an addon later, but not as standard, since this is too dark for some people. But having choices is always a good idea.
I'm I blind? Can't see the download link for the theme

How I can get theme's bar to Rosie On Steroids?
New Add-On:

Flash over installed Theme. If you feel this is too dark, just reflash the main theme or inster the theme framework-res in this zip and flash

How can i customize the shortcut key from the home screen? The one beside the "phone" button. The default is the htc browser but i want to change it.
nice one really like the theme what i don't like is the HTC lockscreen though i prefer the android one, so i simply removed the htclockscreen.apk from the theme before i flashed and voila perfect...
Thought i would mention incase anyone else wants to do the same no issue's so far

I will launch a Rosie version as addon later, where you can change that shortcut to your liking incl. a popup to 9 shortcuts. It is basically like my Rosie on steroids, only with standard non transparent drawer and 4 icons (ROS has transparency and 5 columns).

40+ Custom CM7 RC1 Wallpapers
To enhance the experience and choices I exchanged all CM Wallpapers against more subtle versions. You will find more then 40 new choices in the CMWallpapers.apk, which is part of ally my CM7 Themes. The screenshot does only show 25, but there are many more inside. You can also flash this over any theme, so that is universal for CM7 RC1 (see separate Thread).

Thanks
Updates
Small Fixes for Elegant Blues and Revolution, new - Elegant Steel
Outstanding, thanks again,loving them.
Wow the themes is AWESOME!
One thing (or even request) tho:
Can you make those available for T-Mobile Theme Chooser?
Absolutely outstanding indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
T-Mobile chooser does not allow to theme a lot of details, that do belong to that theme...
afaik it does not support animation transitions and stuff like this but do support everything else.
Anyway, i hope there will be version of this for theme Choser one day ^_^ cuz those themes looks super awesome ^_^
and how about the appr. 20 apps, that are part of my themes...
Especially the widgets are very important (some are supported, but not all) in order to achieve a decent look and in CM7 these are all part of the individual apps and not of the framework. Also parts like dialer play an important role. You would be surprised, how many details you can`t theme right now with that engine. Anyway I will look into it... but not this week.
Ow, let me rephrase my question:
Is that possible to make the design without apps, launcher, widgets and stuff? Only the colors, icons and notification areas?
Oh and i want Droid peeing on apple wallpaper ^____^
Basicly, im using only 3 widgets, smooth calendar, minimalistic text and winapm re-skinned to transparent
Also you can provide a version of Theme Choser + flashable zip with app to all who want it. imo those kind of "modularity" will be better for most users who want only the color scheme or who want only programs/widgets (like all who ask for new transparent widgets at "Transparen Mod" thread )
Ofc everything here is my own humble opinion
EDIT: LOL (here was stupidity and tiredness)
EDIT2:
You can theme dialer and everything from Theme chooser afaik
Well, then try to make a transparent dialer with that engine... or changing notifications for MMS,email, gmail, calendar, phone...
So I did not analyze it a lot, what I saw was very interesting, but still too many limits for my taste. It may sound picky, but details are important to me.

Dinik, of course. sonnysekhon for answering a ton of questions on CWM theming. theimpaler747 for again answering questions and helping out a bunch with getting my feet wet. Kameirus for testing. the devs behind apktool and apkmanager - really made life easier! A ton of artists for their icons; I wish I had kept a list of all the people's work I use, but I didn't but thanks!
A very large thank you to david1171 for heading all of my questions; truly nice and willing to help out!
I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I do. If you are using it, hit the thanks (or buy me a cup of coffee) and feel free to rate the thread. Please ask permission before using my work elsewhere. And thanks for stopping by! Cheers. -jsm
v9 [3 October 2011]

v3 of Lockscreen includes the following:
- Fully skinned lockscreen with alarm clock and charging icons added
- 6 different options - round, square small (72) and large (96). then you can choose whether to have the sms or email icon (which corresponds to the messaging icon)
Can you include XXXXX app in the theme?
As stated in post 1, most likely yes. Simply tell me the app name (ideally, the package name from the AndroidManifest from the decompiled apk.) And better, tell me where to download it or upload the apk.
Can all apps be included in Anastasdroid?
Most, but not all. If the package name includes a capital letter I cannot compile the theme apk. Example, amazons app's package name is: com_amazon_mShop_android. The "S" disallows me to compile the Anastasdroid.apk. Am working on a work-around now, but will see!
Does Anastasdroid change my wallpaper or system colors?
No. It only replaces icons.
Does Anastasdroid install all the programs?
No. It only edits the images.
Can I change themes without losing Anastasdroid?
Yes, using Theme Chooser, you can switch all sorts of themes without losing anything.
My USB debugging icon doesn't change in the pull-down menu. Why?
Yep. Known error with this theme engine; don't know how to fix it right now.
Can I make my own theme?
Sure. Start reading this thread.
Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
Of course. Donate button in my sig...appreciated, but, of course, never expected.

Transparent StatusBar for CM7
======================================Note: This is a reposting of ZduneX25's work found HERE and from his MIUI thread HERE.
All credit goes to him and the other developers.
Please take a second to thank him!
ZduneX25 has a quick and easy app on his website to do all the below. I couldn't get it to work (all my fault) so I did each step by hand. This is what I did (Zdune's instructions with a little extra by me!) It worked for me, but as with everything no guarantees for anyone else!
======================================
Transparent StatusBar for CM7 Repository
======================================DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!
These are CWM flashable zips that have been tested and work for their specific rom. They only work for there intended rom and device; they will not likely work across devices/roms. By flashing this you are having fun, and know that you may have to restore things if something goes wrong (or flash the undo file.)
1- HD2 - TyphooN Rom
TyphooN 3.5.6
TyphooN 3.5.6 UNDO
======================================
Before We Begin
======================================DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!
1- My launcher (ADW Launcher - standard in CM7) did not work with this transparency modification. I needed to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper found DOWNLOAD HERE.
2- Install APKTool - http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
If you are having troubles with installing APKTool read the following thread: http://www.miui-au.com/add-ons/apktool/
3- Download and have ready APKManager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
4- Install Notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
======================================
STEP 1: Editing SystemUI.apk for Transparency
======================================DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNRED
1- Download framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your rom (just pull them out of the zip)
2- Copy to your APKTool folder (/Windows)
3- Open CMD Window (Shift + Right Click) and type:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
then
Code:
apktool d -f SystemUI.apk
4- Open the new SystemUI folder (from this original post) and browse to the folder smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/ and open the file StatusBarService.smali in Notepad++
5- Search for:
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
directly above it you will find
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x2
replace it with
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
6- Now go to /res/layout/status_bar.xml, open it in Notepad++ and search for:
Code:
com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView
Replace the entire line with:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
7- Download the follwing zip, extract the "statusbar_background2.9.png" and place in /WINDOWS/SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi (yes you can edit this; mine is 100% black): DOWNLOAD statusbar_background2.9.png.zip
8- Open CMD window and type:
Code:
apktool b -f SystemUI SystemUInew.apk
9- Find SystemUInew.apk, rename to SystemUI.apk and place in folder "place-apk-here-for-signing" in APKManager
10- Run APKManager and sign (option 16)
11- If you don't want to use APKManager, you can use drag2sign
12- Install to internal memory (/system/app). I did this by making a flashable CWM zip though there are lost of ways to do this (again, this works for me, do as you see fit!)
13- Steps 6 and 7 are optional. In my opinion they make the drop down menu look better (otherwise it is half transparent). From ZduneX25, not my own creation. You can always make it both ways and give it a look.
======================================
STEP 2: Making a CWM Flashable Zip
======================================1- Download, extract the META-INF and system folders to a new location: Download BLANK CMW Flashable zip
2- Place your (new and edited) apk just as it appears in your rom. For SystemUI.apk, place it in /system/app
2a- NOTE: YOU CAN DO THIS TO MAKE A BACKUP TOO!!! Simply use the original (non-edited) SystemUI.apk!
3- Edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script in Notepad++ - you can change the ui_print to fit your theme
4- Zip up META-INF and system folder (highlight both folders, right click and add to zip). Transfer to your phone.
5- Enter CWM and flash
======================================
OPTIONAL STEP 1: THE FOLLOWING IS FOR NON-ANASTASDROID USERS - MAKING YOUR THEME TRANSPARENT
======================================The above changes to SystemUI.apk do the set up for transparency. Now you need to make your theme transparent too (this is done in Anastasdroid fo your - so if you install Anastasdroid, you can ignore the following steps.)
The native file is black, so your statusbar background will be black unless you change it!
1- Simply put you need to edit the com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.9.png per regular ways
2- What I did - substituted com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.9.png for com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.png that is 480x38px. (The xml redirecting in your theme is the same for both files as the ".9.png" is ommitted.)
3- My file: com_android_systemui_statusbar.png.zip

Doesn't change the keyboard at all so whatever you have won't be touched. Just changes the launcher icons and sysbar really.

Anastasdroid v2 [17 April 2011]
Anastasdroid v2 [17 April 2011]
Some Screens...does NOT reflect all the changes, just a few ...
Change Log:- about depth, not breadth: goal is to start making system files more consistent. eventually will go through each apk and make the ic_menu images all in the same style.
- fixed preview (now with image!) - let me know if this causes problems (shouldn't, but rumor has it that some devices may not like this...will see!)
- updated home page settings (on my phone - granted a WM phone running android, is the start menu button)
- updated settings
- updated sms/mms settings
- updated all framework-sys (70+ images!)
- updated all system_ui
- updated widget icons
- updated home shortcut icons
- updated launcer actions
- updated CM7 notification power widget - widget style, a la my CHT-S themes
- other minor stuff
For v3 (in the works)- plan to finish up phone, gmail, other apks!
- work on metamorph for lockscreen (have the images, need to make the morph)
Update Installation1- Download newest Anastasdroid_RC_v#.apk and place on sdcard
Click to download Anastasdroid RC v22- Theme Chooser - select other theme
3- Settings > Applications > Anastasdroid (or sometimes com.jsmccabe78.theme.anastasdroid) -> uninstall
4- File Manager - find above .apk. Install
5- Reboot (turn off/on)
6- Theme Chooser, scroll to left, select Anastasdroid
NOTE: Click "Apply anyways" if you get the following message: "Theme Error: Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." It will NOT hurt anything!!!
If this is your first time using Anastasdroid, simply install, reboot and select in Theme Chooser!
Cheers and enjoy.
And remember, please report any buts and if you enjoy this, please hit the ol' Thanks button!
Like the project? Want more updates? Follow me on Twitter (see sig!)
just curious if non-hd2 users are installing the new version (v2). if so, what device? installing okay? (> 130 dl and no responses....so just checking in!)

★ The Project ★I have been a fan of Dinik's Anastasia since it hit the Windows Mobile world last year. (See my sig if you don't believe me!) My goal here is simple - bring Anastasia to Android. I made this for me, but thought I would share. (Not familiar with Anastasia? Look here for inspiration!)
★ What Anastasdroid is and what it isn't ★Anastasdroid is a theme built for T-Mobile's Theme Chooser application found in CM7-based roms. It is NOT a rom. My goal is to replace native files using the Theme Chooser with the Anastasia style look. It is a work-in-progress. All icons are constructed by me. In respecting Dinik's decision that none of his icons minus his Anastasia template be used without his permission, I have redone every icon. I have asked Dinik for the okay to use some of his icons, but did not hear back - so until then, you are stuck with my work.
For specifics of what is included in Anastasdroid see the Theme Log in post 2.
★ Screens ★
★ Installation ★NOTE: This is built for hdpi phones (tested only on the HD2); it may not work for non-hdpi phones.
1- Make sure you have Theme Chooser on your phone
2- Download the newest version of Anastasdroid, place on sdcard and install:
Click to download Anastasdroid RC v2
...QR code only works if your phone is logged into XDA...
3- Turn your phone off/ on (reboot)
4- Go to Theme Chooser and scroll to the left (as A is at the beginning of the alphabet )
5- Click Apply under the Anastasdroid theme.
NOTE: There will NOT be a preview image (the apk doesn't compile it correctly on a Windows computer...hope to change that!)
NOTE: Click "Apply Anyways" if you get the following message: "Theme Error: Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." It will NOT hurt anything!!!

★ Feedback ★...or "Hey, what about my app/ apk? Can you add it?"...
Like it, love it or hate it - please leave a comment (or a screen shot).
If you find something not working or have an app that needs to be added to the theme, please post what you need. (And remember, a screenshot often is a great way to show me what you need.) If you want to add an app to the theme, please tell me the name (ideally, the package name from the AndroidManifest from the decompiled apk) and a screenshot if possible.
★ To Dos ★Many things...
Better icons
More apps
Widgets
More native files (settings, etc.)
★ Thank Yous ★Dinik, of course. sonnysekhon for answering a ton of questions on CWM theming. theimpaler747 for again answering questions and helping out a bunch with getting my feet wet. Kameirus for testing. the devs behind apktool and apkmanager - really made life easier! A ton of artists for their icons; I wish I had kept a list of all the people's work I use, but I didn't but thanks!
A very large thank you to david1171 for heading all of my questions; truly nice and willing to help out!
★ A Final Word ★You are welcome to use my icons, etc. for whatever you want. However, please respect Dinik's work and ask permission to post them. If you need raw files, pm me. Also, leave a note - of thanks, questions, worries. And remember, this is my first Android theme - I am learning and sharing for fun. Thanks and enjoy!
And remember, hitting the "Thanks" button is quick, painless, free and makes me feel all warm inside.
