CDMA version is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587147

Downloading... Very nice, thank you

Looks great, well done my friend and keep them coming!

Wow, very great. I like this Theme.
I try it and it's very great.
Is it possible to do this in white?

Very nice!
Love!
Good also for 2.8?

The problem with making a white theme is that the fonts are in white too so they won't show up. I'm not sure yet how to change the font colour.
This only works on 2.9. I started working on it when 2.8 was out, but had to restart for 2.9. I threw away the 2.8 version, sorry!

Might be good for 2.8, I will try.

Uh, the Fonts. Okay.
And the Navbars on Bottom and Top only? Does that work?
I think for white Hero every widgets etc in Black, but this Both bars in White...?

Any way you can get this to work with MoDaCo's 1.1 rom for the Sprint Hero? Thanks.

Formel what do you mean by navbars? Like the status bar at the top and the phone button at the bottom? There's still the fonts problem, I'm not sure how to get around it.. Maybe someone can enlighten me?
Formel please can you post this theme on your German forum?
I can make a CDMA version soon, just need some free time and I'll make it.

Yes, I mean the status Bar on Top and the three Buttons on bottom.
I've found yesterday in market a Theme for GDE Home replacement in White.
I think I've seen here a theme with white status bar.
Suddenly, i've forgotten to make a new thread at Handy-FAQ.de. Thank you for reminding.
Now, I did:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_hero_forum/107245-theme_htc_hero_smokin_green_v1.html

Cool thanks for posting it up dude! I'll try and look into the white theme a little more as I'd like it too

would you be so kind to share some of your knowledge?
i would like to have the transparent background for the notification pulldown, aswell as the bottom bar with the "mold" in it, but i would like to have it with the stock colors. if you could tip me off witch apk i should look in, and maybe even what files to replace that would be super awesome! pretty please...

Sure - The background for the notification pulldown is called status_bar_background.png and can be found in \res\drawable-480x320\ in framework-res.apk
The bottom bar mold, do u mean the 2-tone effect? Doesn't the stock rom already have that effect in stock colours though? The bottom bar stuff is in \res\drawable-port-480x320\ in Rosie.apk anyway.
Give me a shout if you need anything else!

I did it with pleasure! I hope, we'll become more good themes for our HTC Sense.
Pookie1, look at this link: http://www.androidpit.de/android/de/de/tests/test/391207/GDE-The-new-home-experience
This is the Home replacement GDE. Therefor, somebody did a white Theme.
But I think, it can't be translate to HTC sense....
That looks nice, too.

Yeah looks very nice! But as it's in GDE it might be easier to change the fonts for that. I will start looking into changing the fonts, I'm pretty sure it's possible in Sense.
Thanks for posting it on your forum! If you have any exclusive themes over there, please bring them over to XDA for everyone here too

Of course, I did!
Thank you for your work!

thanks for that quick answer! i will dig into that tonight, no time to do it at work...
what i meant with the bottombar see attachment. as long as i know where to look i think i can find it.
just for my curiosity/clarification: all you do to create a theme is extracting the apk, alter the image files in it, compress & resign and install? or is there more to it, like altering xml files (which i can not open as they are compiled?) just that i'm on the right track here...

Haha ok I get you know, I thought you were talking about mould Yes you can definitely turn that bar back to grey. I can do it for you if you get stuck. Now I know that's the bit you mean, I think that's in the same folder as the background transparency, \res\drawable-480x320\ in framework-res.apk. I'm not at my dev computer right now so I can't be totally sure, but if you can't find it let me know and I'll have another look.
Yes you're on the right track, that should work fine. It can get a bit confusing but if you keep all your files organised you should be fine.
I didn't alter any xml files to make my theme, so just leave those alone and replace the .png files.

Translucent notification tray/shade?

I'm seeing a lot of screenshots with notification trays that are clear or translucent and I"m wondering how to do that... is it something you can change with a setting or are notification trays like other part of themes where you pick a different notification tray and install using the update.zip method and you can't just edit or change the opacity of your current tray/shade? Also is there some place where I can go that I can pick through several trays/shades? Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated.

are you referring to the DOCKS at the bottom of screens? or do you specifically mean the notification panels when you pull down the notification statusbar?
if you are looking for docks and have an eclair or froyo rom- you can download launcherpro from the market or online at launcherpro.com; then you can install the following by just downloading them from here or any place you find docks.

ok well as far as notification panel transparency, jaguirre1231 referred me to this page about it. i haven't used it yet personally because i dont really care much about it, but it should help you.

it's the froyo transparency fix. goodluck .

u could just go old school and edit status_bar_background.png and status_bar_close_on.0.png in the drawable folder...

ah true i forgot about that new png that is in froyo roms. (the second one which is the png behind the first one). that's actually much easier.

Anything like this for 2.1?

its exactly the same. they didnt rewrite and rename file names from 2.1 to 2.2..just find the png's you want from one theme and apply them to the framework however you know how to.
hell, i've taken images from Sense roms for HTC phones for my droid..

i don't know if you've ever done any themes or where you're getting your info from, but that second image that he is referring to does not exist in 2.1, which is why so many of us had problems trying to make the notification panels transparent for the experion theme when the idea was first intro'ed. now, if you're telling him, that he can magically just drop that png in there when it serves no function, then i'd like to see it happen, lol. logically speaking, that is like saying, let's name this file poop.png and make it transparent and expect it to become transparent for that panel. just saying...

So are you saying transparent notification background can only be done on Froyo? Did you ever get it to work on the Experion theme?

Anymore ideas guys? I know this can be done on some level because I've seen this in many pictures in the home screen screenshot forum.

the first one that you were involved in (donut version) and the second one (eclair version). g1_lucky had asked both myself and david1171 about the notification panels countless times and how to make them transparent, and there was no way of doing so because that second image did not exist with that name. if it did exist, it was not in the framework folder, and at the time probably had to do with some xml for it to work. if you guys solved it, then go ahead and explain to this kid how you did so because to my knowledge there was never any such png in either donut or eclair frameworks.

I don't know how it's done, but I have a metamorph theme on my phone that gives me a transparent notifications pulldown. I'm on 2.1

Oh, I wondered about that, but wasn't sure if you were speaking of the theme I was involved in. Any progress with that by the way? Lucky kinda just disappeared on me some time ago, and the project died to my knowledge. I remember this issue coming up in the past, and I agree, I don't recall ever seeing any such image in the initial framework. To my recollection, it was a issue that never had been solved.

I thought you were referring the pull-down notification panel and the ability to make it's background transparent. If so, Samset does that. Here is the Samset thread, look at th second picture in the first post for an example:

MetaMorph Minimalistic Mod v1.2 also does this:

[THEME][PORT] Frost v2.0

EDIT - Updated post with working zip - EDIT
I've ported over the Frost theme, made by sonnysekhon for the HTC Desire. I went with that one since I'm personally not a circle battery fan. I added a couple pieces of work in here and there, but nothing major. I'd also like to take the time to thank fritzgerald for helping me with some smali edits. Thanks!
I've built this theme on top of Assonance 4.3, I'd assume it would work on all versions of Assonance (or any JK3 ROM for that matter) but I can't say for sure.

Sorry. You need to decompile the APK first. Use APK Manager or apktool. If you simply try to extract the APK you wont see it. After you make your changes and recompile the APK it's all located in the resources.arsc. Messing with the xmls especially in the values folder you'll want to make sure you back up. I crashed my phone tons of times while learning that portion.

Now I'm getting stuck in a bootloop and my Nandroid b/u won't restore. Awesome...
(FYI, this was from working on twframework-res.apk, nothing to do with the theme posted in this thread)

I've made some changes to the framework and twframework files to get rid of the white text on the notification drop down as well as the blue text in the settings menu. Anyone willing to test out? I know the settings menu change works but I'm not sure on the drop down. I'm not running this ROM so it crashes my phone if I try to apply it.

i just changed my carrier label and moved it to the right, i also got rid of the clear button.
in the systemUI.apk if you decompile in the status_bar_Expanded.xml you can change the front size to 0 to get rid of the carrier label

Or, if you want to change it to something else, then you need to decompile framework-res.apk and edit the eri.xml located in res > xml > eri.xml.

i would try one of the clear button morphs Rori~ posted in this forum.
that status_bar_expanded.xml i posted worked just fine for my evo to recreate the picture.

Thanx for all the input...
The problem I have with Rori's mod is the white text on the black background - My Beautifull Wifget weather update in there had black text on back back making it impossible to read

I would see if you could grab just the status bar expanded xml and put it into your systemUI

I know that, but what I was trying was to keep the clear button where it was and get rid of the carrier label, I think it is probably because the clear button isn't shown constantly that it caused the issue

The failure is that apk-manager_4.9 or At&T doesn't compile my changes in SystemUI.apk
They use the original status_bar_expand.xml, so i can't see any difference :/
I don't know why. Maybe i have to update android-sdk?! Maybe someone can take a look at the SystemUI.apk i posted above and change the carrier and clear button for test?

Even this is possible. Keep clear button where it is and only move carrier.

Theme question. Status Bar and default wallpaper.

I'm putting together a theme for a KJ3 Gingerbread ROM I'm building and having a couple issues. I cannot get the status bar to change at all. I've got a status bar image sitting in framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and it is still solid black. I cannot figure out what I need to change to use the custom image.
Second question is how to set the default wallpaper. I have default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk but every time I flash my ROM zip, it uses the default Samsung Blue Sea Live wallpaper. Any ideas on how I can change the default?
Sorry, this is the first ROM I'm actually putting together myself.

You have to also edit the xml to change the status bar.
SystemUi/layout/statusbar.xml I believe.

1. In framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml there are two things to look at; the line with
Code:
android:id="@id/title"
controls the title of the notification. "android:textColor" is what you need to modify, and the format of the number is "#AARRGGBB"
2. Then there is the line with
Code:
android:id="@id/text"
which controls the description of the notification. Do the same thing you did with the title.
Here's a screenshot, the numbers correspond with the item that I talked about above.
{
"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"
}

default wallpaper fix
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
First you will have to put the wallpaper in framework res. Drawablehdmi. And name it default wallpaper.
Then go in the strings XML
Search for wallpaper
It will be set to a live wallpaper
Change that to @null
Now on first boot you will have your default wallpaper set.

I wish I was half as helpful and patient as you DemonWav. You always seem to answer these kinds of questions very thoroughly and kindly.

I sent you a response back. My status bar is still black after changing this so I may have to send you my file and have you take a look. I appreciate your help.

It is in the layout folder of systemui,statusbar xml.i believe its line 1 and 19 that need edited there is either a hex color of ff000000 a or a ref. To black but it had to be changed to a drawable so it points to the .9 .i will look when I get home.

Sorry I should have stated that I did change the xml but it's still black. It may be due to an improper .9 image. I will try a different one tonight and see if it works.

You are correct, that is what I told him to do. He said it didn't work and he has a hypothesis of why it won't, the .9.png thing. If that doesn't fix it then I just want to take a look at his SystemUI.apk 'cause I don't feel like guessing and trying all these different "fixes".

same png image has to be change to a transparent one...

Just as an update, I was able to get the status bar working finally after finding a proper status bar image, thanks to DemonWav.
Also, thanks again to TRusselo for showing me the way for the default wallpaper.
