the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template

OK!,this is what I was going to try right now. Thanks, for your help

Any tip?

have to use the meta folder from a theme zip, look at the update script, they carry out all kinds of actions on rom updates

OK, thanks , I still dont have much idea about it but now I can start looking for much info, thanks!

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over

[Q] News.apk file

Does anyone have the original gTab TnT news.apk file that is deleted when flashing TnT lite? I found it on another website but the link goes to the wrong .apk...
I've searched XDA with no luck. Thanks in advance!

Download it from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K2OV6UVM
Once downloaded, change the file extension from .png to .apk
Then install. It works great on TnT Lite 2.4.

Thanks Butch. That's the stock Android news widget. I'm looking for the stock TnT news apk from Viewsonic. Thanks anyway!

That's where I found it before. The file the link points to is the music.apk file not the news.apk file I'm looking for. No luck getting author to fix. Even tried their Twitter account...
Thanks anyway for trying!

Yes... copied the link and changed Music to News. I installed it on my GTab running TNT 2.40 and it seems to work fine, but the widgets are not working.

I just tried the widget and it says "no news to display". I'm using that .apk to recreate the original home screen that came with the stock ROM. That was the last piece I needed and it looks pretty good!
Cheers!

For future reference.... TnT Lite actually installs a vanilla system.img and then I add some delete commands in, later in the script (this script is in META-INF/com/google/android, called "updater-script").
If you want to keep certain things like the homescreen or the news apk, you can actually customize TnT Lite to your liking! It's one of the benefits of a modular ROM.

What are you usenig to repack zip? When I repack as a zip from winrar the install from zip useing clockwork mod fails.

[Q] gingerbread black keyboard

Anyone have a link to the awesome gingerbread black swype layout in Serendipity and Phoenix?

Download either of those two roms and pull out the apk from inside.
In the serendipity thread there is another awesome one themed like the gingerbread keyboard also worth a look.

Sorry removed

Just curious: is it still okay to post the swype apk after the post by the swype guys? Serious question, not trying to be a jerk.

I would have to say it is not allowed to post that apk because it has been altered from its original Swype form. We are allowed to post the APK because our phones have come pre-installed however, so it is a fine line. To err on the side of caution if the Swype has been altered it is best not to extract and post the apk.

How would I install this theme swype?
From my research does it go like this? Feel free to correct me because I can't find a firm answer. Thanks.
Backup with Tit
Uninstall Swype
Root explorer and delete swype components
Push the Swype.apk file found on this thread to sd
Then install with Root explorer?

I just go to system/app with root explorer
mount rw rename exhisting swype.apk to swype.apk.bak
copy new swype.apk and paste in system/app
mount ro
go tro any input field and try.

Thanks for your quick response but using your method only causes my Swype to FC on me.

Do you have swype installed on the ROM you are using? If the dev removed it you would need the the apk but also libSwypeCore.so
Unzip this and put it in the lib of your system folder. See if that helps.

Here is a green/black swype.apk
Just mount system as R/W, then drop this into system/app/ and overwrite the old swype.

I am currently on Cog 2.38b, so yes I have Swype installed.

FYI the color of the line you draw is in the .so file, so you'll need to copy that over as well.

Thanks I'll try these suggestions when I get home later today and will post results.

Nope, just trying to help unlike you. People that actually try to help are limited to the question. So next time instead of just trying to get a shot in help the person out if you think I didn't do a good enough job. Bye!

You appear to have broken your arm patting yourself on the back.
For someone who doesn't try to help, it appears that 14 different people accidentally fell on the "Thank You" button on my behalf.
And it's interesting that more often than not, it's easiest to get a shot in when someone leaves themselves wide open by being a grouchy old a$$hat.
Do we need to get off your lawn too?
If you read the post one more time, you'll see that he was simply pointing out that Swype comes preloaded in Cog, not that you're an idiot for not being clairvoyant.
You've mastered other ways of accomplishing that, why would you need one more?
Zing !
Take your pill.
You're waaaay overdue.

Sorry for the delay in getting this to you... Been a crazy couple of weeks!
Bah, I uploaded the old version that does not work!!! Sorry!!!
Check Post #19 for the correct version!!!

T90, unfortunately this is the old version "Justin.tv Viewer." This version gives the error, "Something went wrong: Error #2032" Does anyone have the Justin.tv Player? It looks exactly the same except that they added advertisement functions and it works. Thank you for the upload though.

Here, this should work. I don't use CM7, so I wasn't able to test it. If you have any problems, just let me know.

I'm well aware of the uot kitchen, but I prefer to use apk manager. I've had mixed results with uot, and find apk manager to be easy to use. Also, I don't have to "wait for my turn."

Exactly! I didn't know how much the OP knew about apk manager so I didn't post instructions on how to theme the framework-res.apk to have a circle battery. But hey now the OP has two options
