[Q] Question CyanogenMod 7

I know it's a noob question but i can't find any answers.
I installed CyanogenMod 7 but i can't change theme, what I mean is , I apply theme using theme chooser but the dockbar on the bottom doesn't change ;(.Can anyone help me , please

Reboot
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App.

i did reboot
maybe i should record it via camera and u'll know what i did wrong?

You said dockbar. Ofcourse it won't change.
You need to manually change the dock and the icons.

The dockbar won't change. The icons of the regularly used items, if present in Dockbar, may change. Further you will have to edit each icon individually with an icon from the custom sets.

i saw some videos that when people applied theme it changed everything?
So how can i make my phone look like this? any instructions?

Like what we said above. You need to manually replace the dock.
See my attachment below and download the dock image.
What launcher are you using?
As for the icons, you have to get the icon pack and use desktop visualiser.
The font used is neuropol x free. Get the .ttf file.
You can apply it using a font changer, download it from the market.

im using adw launcher ex, can you tell me how to change the dock etc.?

I'm not really quite sure how to change it on adw. I just googled that up.
Why not try using go launcher EX.

its really confusing in Naked Simplicity CM7 thread there is guide to install
Theme Installation:
1)Just install like any other theme then go to theme chooser
2)Hit the Cloudy Preview
3)Apply Anyway and Reboot
so why i have to do so many thngs?

The theme only replaces certain things. Like the statusbar and other applications in the phone. It can't replace the docks for you because its part of the launcher.
Preferences - Themes - Dock background - custom

i did it but i have , icons on this dock bar but i want blank one without icons on it,when i try to delete them it replace them with plus sign :/ how to delete that?

[Q] How do You Make a Theme?

I want to know how to make a Theme with your own wallpapers and stuff. I planning on making one for Eclipse but I want to add my own stuff to it. I've used the Kitchen but it doesn't give the option to add stuff or customize. Do you have to do this manually through winrar or something? Any help would be nice.

You may want to try messaging gunnermike and ask him. I've only tried out one of his themes but it seemed like he is one of the people you would specifically want to get a hold of when it comes to theming.

Pretty much just like the method we suggested in your other thread, at least for the PNG edits. XML edits are more difficult, .9's are harder as well but you can easily swap them if you have some from other themes.
For swapping png's refer to your other thread and search mainly in systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459466
As for the default wallpaper, well it's titled default_wallpaper.jpeg
For the more advanced stuff this is a good starting point

Ok so i have a theme for eclipse I made through the Kitchen. Where would I put my default wallpaper( which folder?)

I believe its in framework-res.apk/framework-res/drawable-hdpi

i also would like to know how to change the default launcher

Do you mean you want to change it to a different launcher or theme the default launcher?
If you just want to change to a different launcher, just install another launcher And when you hit your home button, it will allow you to choose which launcher to use. You can also select which one will be the default.

i want a specific launcher on my theme

I'm not sure if you can change the launcher for a theme. Which launcher were you wanting?
Sent from the Evil Empire

You can add the apk on the system/apps folder, and remove the other launcher. Make sure the launcher your using is stable or else you'll find yourself using RSD, unless you are able to get to the market, or a file system where you have other launcher apk's (I use widget locker so I'm able to add the market to the lock screen if need be). If your launcher isn't stable with the rom your running you'll lose the ability to go "home" and if your using stock lock screen all you can do is unlock the phone to a black screen.

I was thinking "360 launcher" but as its in beta.... I have threw the apk in the /system/app folder when my theme was finished cooking, but all for not. When i booted up the theme on first install the Launcher just kept force closing over and over and over...........etc. Wouldnt even let me get to settings to uninstall(not sure thats the right place tho lol just thought about it). Luckily i know bad things can happen when making a theme and have Safestrap installed

If you plan on releasing the theme for download, you might want to ask the developer for permission to use their launcher before you do.

Sword Art Online User Interface ICS

Hello Guys!
I tried making a Sword Art Online Widget Interface on my HTC Incredible S running on ICS.
preview is attached below. i cant post any links since im new sorry for the inconvenience
2 main applications I used:
Apex Launcher: available on google play
Glaeja : available on google play.
*Apex Launcher works for ICS and Jelly Bean only i think
I recommend installing Apex Launcher first
Apex Launcher setup after installation:
(Not sure this will work though, since settings are from my phone)
1. Download all the attached files with apex on it. Copy on sdcard. (extract zipped files)
2. Move apex_settings.bak to /sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher/
3. Open apex settings and go to backup and restore
4. Select restore.
Glaeja Setup after installation:
1. Create New Widgets on Home Screen. 1 4x1 Glaeja Widget for the hpbatterybar and 2 3x3 Glaeja Widgets for the bars.
2. Download the skins, images and font files and paste them to the corresponding folders found in /sdcard/com.gmail.kanitawa.glaeja/
3.Select the widgets on HomeScreen and click Load Skin, select the corresponding skin file.
4. Select None on the On Click option.
Notes:
Apex:
-Key Settings:
Number of Screens = 3
Transition Effect = None
Use Tablet UI Mode = unchecked
Minimum Scrolling Time = 2
Show Wallpaper = checked, Mode = Singlescreen
Glaeja:
-For the Name on HP bar just edit widget and then find the corresponding text with Shawn on it. Edit the Display Text. same goes for LV: __
-For Shortcuts of the bar, the shortcuts can be replaced on the Transparent Buttons found on the bar widgets.
There is also a video showing my work on youtube, it has poor quality but it satisfies it purpose. (again sorry for not being able to post links since im new)
Thanks guys! And I hope some people find this post helpful. Comments will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Uploaded missing file manager icon

Thank you so much for this. It's really great. Took a while but I managed to get it to work with 7 screens to make more like in the Series.

Finally someone is trying to create a nice theme. Props.

OMG I LOVE SAO!
I would love to give this theme a go!
Could you please make a Nova compatible version??

How did you get the Apex buttons to open different Glaeja widget menus,as well as change to the yellow one when clicked? Or did you just make it look that way. Running on SGS3 with CM10.

Help
How exactly do you do all that you did to make it look the way it did in the images. I am completely lost in terms of what to do... I don't really know how to make anything come out as it should and after about an hour of messing around with everything I gave up on trying to figure out from the directions that were given... Can I get a step-by-step instruction as to how you set it up? thanks

Hey! Your SOA theme looks really amazing! I tried to set it up, but my apexlauncher wasn`t in the SC card?? Is there a different way to insert the settings into apex launcher?

Yea your instructions dont really help at all. Even had to create the folder for the apexlauncher but i somehow think that the settings backup didnt do anything at all. An howto would be very appreciated since it does look very good.

Just a heads up. You can use any images for the icons, any images for the widgets/text/etc. Once you grasp what is happening and put a lot of time into it, your imagination is the limit.
I'll try to explain what is happening here, that I see. I have a similar "tabbed' style setup on my tablet. I'm using Nova and a quick one button tutorial you can easily do to see what is happening goes as so...
1. Press and hold blank spot on screen, press Nova actions, then press jump to page, and select page 2 (this will be 2nd from the far left of your setup, adjust accordingly). Now you will have an icon on your screen.
2. Press and hold the icon, select edit and you can replace the icon with any image you see fit. Now you have your "button". For example sake, lets say you have an icon/text that you want to have media stuff brought up.
3. Now on page 2, which should be blank (no icon), you will want to make the same 'jump to page icon' again, this time in a color of your choice, so that it looks "selected." Obviously this means you will have to edit/color your image/text as you see fit. I colored my "media" icon text, the color blue for example.
4. Next up, now that you have a colored icon on screen 2, making it look selected, is to fill up screen 2 with media stuff. You can use the images he uses, or just widgets already in your phone, or the above glaeja app that looks like it can be useful here. Your widget can be text that has click actions, that open up apps etc. It looks like the OP has placed the arrow icon on this page as well as to give it more of a this is what you selected look. The options are endless.
So then you just repeat that process with icons on screen #1 that jump to the other pages of you phone, that have been edited to have the content on them you're going for. It's painstaking, but hopefully I've made a visual for you that sheds light on what is going on and once you grasp that, you can make anything.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Essentially, you are going to create all of your screens to have the 5 "button" vertical layout (or however you want it to be, 4 buttons, 8, etc). Your main screen, they will be all white it color (again whatever color you choose) and swipe one screen to right, have the same 5 buttons vertical, but the one icon you want to make look "selected" have it yellow, in this instance and also on that screen would be the corresponding widget with the images and icons/text you want to look like it opened. How this works it when setting launcher to no scroll on wallpaper, and setting the button as a widget action to turn to page '2', it flings the screens to screen 2, where one icon is "selected" and there is different content on the screen (the widget, ie looking like it opened a menu). search on youtube for tabbed setup for android and you'll see setups alike.

I have searched on google but i dont found anything :-/

Hmmm thats really bad hope in any time we can get it
Well its possible to use an other lockscreen as the lg lockscreen?
(i want to change it via root)
Any other lockscreen that i can use, like cm 9 lockscreen or any other?

We can use the ICS stock..
Procedure:
1)Go to /system.
2)Open build.prop
3)ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=true -> Change this to
ro.lge.capp_lockscreen=false..
Save it and restart the device! You are done!

ok u will first need to download Widget Locker from Play store (u need to buy this) (or get it the pirated way) ( your decision, but to support the developer(s) please buy it
then u will need to download the Samsung galaxy s3 dandelion live wallpaper by wasabi
then chose the live wallpaper as default one, remember to go to options and checkmark: flying seed, touch, water droplet and touch dragged
open up the widget locker app and delete all the widgets except the clock, long touch till u see edit, choose that, go to background color and drag the slider all the way to the right so it gets transparent, then scroll down to the owner info line 1 and delete the text
go back to the widget locker screen again, long press and chose custom slider,
then press get themes, this will open the browser, then scroll down to the Invisible Tabs chose that, this will open a Complete action with window, chose widgetlocker, it will download, take down the statusbar, u will see the download press on it, it will open widget locker, your invisible theme is now chosen
then slide the right slider to the left and chose disable
then slide the left slider to the right go to icon, chose gallery then chose the blank image provided by me down below you now have a blank slider, then press done,
this will you back to the widget locker app, then long press and chose application, do this 4 times and chose the applications u want there
this icons are gonna stay at the bottom of the lockscreen, and you want the invisible slider to be right over them
And that's how u make a look alike Samsung galaxy s3 lockscreen

Question about app icons EmotionUI theme

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out if I can create a EmotionUI theme which also changes the icons of individual apps.
Is this possible?
I know some system icons are named as for example: com.android.browser.png
Would I simply have to find the name for the app icon and change it to for example: com.whatsapp.png?
I don't know how to find these values if this is the way to go.
But I would very much like my theme to be able to change ALL icons I could possibly make for the apps I have, not just the system icons.
Also is there some sort of emotionui forum this question should be posted? I couldn't find it...
EDIT: I also found out I am unable to change theme. I can change the appearance of the current theme I'm using by taking stuff from other theme's, but when I apply a other theme the theme will stay on the current one and doesn't switch. This includes the lockscreen theme and some other things I wish to still change like fonts and such.
(This might have something to do with me soft bricking my phone found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/ive-soft-bricked-phone-p7-l10-t3258350)
EDIT2: Okay it seems like this method is working. I just use an apk extractor to check which value an app has. For whatsapp this was indeed com.whatsapp.png which worked. However for com.android.vending.png which is google playstore, that one doesn't seem to work. I would like to find out why...
This way I can have all my icons in a custom theme
EDIT3: after my factory reset in my other post I couldn't change the themes anymore.
