I would post this on the Supernova ROM thread, but I can't post in the development section yet, so if somebody could help me out that would be great.
Last night I flashed Supernova 2.02 because it was a slick looking rom. I really like the theme they put on the swype keyboard (all black with no distinct buttons, white and green letters), but the rom as a whole was a flop for me. I was wondering then, how hard would it be to port just the supernova swype keyboard to another rom?
The rom I would like to use it on is Paragon RC5.1 or Andromeda, if that helps at all.

it is not that hard, try to use Root Explorer to go to \system\app, you should be able find the apk file for it.
copy it to your new rom, same location.
you may need some other files, but you can try this first. it doesn't hurt.
finding the apk. hold tight.
EDIT: I thought I knew the file was, but it was wrong, this might take awile.
Thanks for the speedy reply, just got home from class and need to charge my phone before flashing Paragon and trying your suggestions out. I'll report back once I try them
Here's a link to a forum about it. I would find it but I have to go.

I opened this thread to take port requests for the Buuf theme found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139
you can find more info about buuf here.

If you would like to see your rom ported please post it in this thread. I will be picking one rom to start with and then move on to others. I will pick the rom by the most posts. The posts will be tallied in a week at which point the winner will be picked. Sorry I do not have a hero phone so Hero specific roms will not be selected since i have no way to test them. hero roms that run on the G1/magic or the Mytouch/Sapphire will be considered.

rom A, B, C
Rom A = 10 posts
Rom B = 5 posts
Rom C = 3 posts
Rom A will be the first to be ported.

This was an easy port since it is based on Cyanogen mod I have a working release at the buuf theme site here. http://www.android-theme.com/ Try it and if you have any problems post to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4774584#post4774584
Note this is not the old version of Buuf this is a fully maintained new release. To use this theme you must have metamorph installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
I am trying to use this theme but a error comes up saying theme control doesnt find file. how do i really use this?
How about porting it to the Cliq? There are only like 2 ROM's for it and they're essentially stock.

you have probably downloaded the flash version of the theme. Check to make sure you download the metamorph release.

I'm dying to get buuf on Moto Droid. I'd prefer the sholes.info ROM, but I think at this point they're all really similar.
Love to get this on Bugless Beast with Metamorph.
dude, you HAVE GOT TO hook us droid users up with that Buuf mod. i love it and pissed i cant get it for my droid. i know this is strictly an HTC forum, but please, im beggin you dude, hook us uppp!
platform: n1
rom: cyan 5.x (http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/update-cm-5.0.2-N1-signed.zip)
Out of curiousity, I attempted to apply your latest metamorph and as you would guess, it didn't quite work as planned No biggie as I was planning on wiping/flashing for another reason.
I would love it if your morph made its way to the n1. Any help you want/need I could provide if that would sway you to give it a try.

If you would port this for Fresh 1.1 then I would do all the testing you would wont !!! I really would love to have this theme for my Sprint Hero. I have been drooling over it since day one. I beg you man! I will put 7 days a week, 12 hours a day helping with the port
Super D For The Win
Super D would be fairly badass
Nevermind
I was able to install the CM Buuf over my Super D rom.
Cyanogen just released a 2.1 ROM for the Moto Droid. I've read some things here and there that claim themes for Cyan mods work on this Droid ROM. When I get home today, I'm going to test it out.
I know it would take a while, but could I potentially just swap out the images on the .apk's currently on the phone? (in case it doesn't work)
EDIT: Well, I was able to apply the theme, but when I rebooted the phone and it came back up nothing had changed. I started looking through some of the .apk's on the phone vs. the replacements in this theme. The file structure is completely different, so I believe that is why nothing actually changed after the theme was applied. It looks for images in a different directory (or portion of the apk) than it used to.
I'm wondering if I could take a current 2.1 theme (for Droid) and essentially just swap out the images (not touch any xml's). Then, use MM to apply the theme with the new drawings. I can read XML, but I haven't really written anything in it... I do know a bunch of programming languages, so I should be able to figure things out if something isn't sized right or whatever. I was able to pull the framework-res.apk from the system/framework dir on the phone and replace the lock buttons with Buuf's. I then applied the apk and rebooted. The images took, but they are only about 2/3 the size of the buttons. So, you can see the transparent background of the button and then the new skinned button is smaller and aligned top / left (ish). I haven't had a chance to look at any XML stuff yet and I'll probably want to look through a full MM theme to see how certain things are accomplished.
P.S. This is potentially a "hard" way of trying to port this theme to the Droid. If anyone has a better solution, please feel free to point me in the right direction!
Should I try one of the Eclair builds as opposed to the Cyanogen build? Would the file structure be correct?
hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on what am about to ask.
i have just cooked up a rom on Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen,XWJS7_Wipe-v9_8_1, with most of all aps,all is working fine,plus installed 1 of Generation X Themes CY with boot,all good.
my question is,is there a way to put the 5 lock screens which i did have with darkys 9.3 final ?
if so how would some one like myself go about doing this,would it be a simple apk install for lock screens.
really sorry if this has been asked before,but could not find anything about it.plus i couldnt post in the dev part as not got over 10 posts
i dont like to spam and prefer to do some reading,which really does help.really starting to understand the android,first 1 loads of fun so far.plus a few tense moments aswell
thankyou for all the time you guys make the phone as cool as can be.
I'm pretty sure that's theme related. I guess if you changed your theme to the one from darky's rom you would get your 5 lockscreens back.
As to how: I have no Idea, there's probably a description in the design and themes section.
good luck
Download the Stockmod plus theme, it's basically just the lock screens and tyhe extended power menu, it works fine with docs rom, I'm running it myself.
edit. I just re-read your post and you already have a theme, this one woudl replace that.
I use it and just apply my own settings with launcherpro to make my dersktop look nice.
yeah theme is installed and i have 4 unlock screens,but would like to get that 5th 1,rotary i believe.
Small update to what i have tried to do.
1 found the keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock_land.xml in other themes.
2 copied them over to the Generation_X_v2.0CY_JPUXY_JS3_NOBOOT.zip
3 flashed in cwm but didnt work
never mind
You need to flash a theme which has it built in. I know black android does and it works great with a cooked rom.
Looks awesome too.

Hi There,
I've tried searching all over and cannot find anything so please forgive me if I'm asking something that has been asked before...
I am looking at all the wonderful custom roms out there for the Captivate but it seems that some of them do not have the classic Samsung Keyboard. I'm very fond of inputting text via the old school 3x4 portrait style with predictive texting and notice that some of the roms do not have the Samsung Keyboard, which then pretty much rules out that rom for me.
So I was wondering if there is a way to add the 3x4 portrait samsung keyboard to a rom somehow if it wasn't originally built/packaged with it?
Yes, there is definitely a way to do that. It will involve rooting your phone, and finding the .apk of the keyboard into a certain folder with 'Root Explorer'.
I'll see if I can find the Samsung Keyboard .apk for you, and I suggest you getting Root Explorer (or similar) for the time being.
romkitchen.org create an update.zip NOT a full rom. they have the samsung keyboard available! and much more!

Very awesome site! But I must ask... I can't seem to find the Samsung Keyboard there though... I can only see "Gingerbread Keyboard" under the Keyboards section...

Wow!!! That is AWESOME!!!
I'm still a noob so pardon if I ask some potentially obvious questions... *bows head in shame*
I am getting Root Explorer and have not used it before tho have indeed rooted my phone and flashed an existing rom created by others (currently using Serendipity 5.12)
Would this Rom Kitchen method be a simple addition to a current rom via Clock Work Recovery - Reboot into recovery mode - install zip from SD Card type of thing? Or would I have to go into the folder and replace the different files with whatever is generated and rename the file, also as an addition/alteration to a current Rom that I was using?
Or would you basically be generating your own custom Rom altogether with this Rom Kitchen by starting from scratch and selecting each part of the rom yourself like the Base Rom then CSC then Kernel then Modem then Apps Etc and then doing a master clear and flashing this as a brand new rom?
And if the generated file is essentially a brand new Rom altogether, would it be possible if I just generate one with the desired "additions" that I was looking for, open that up, save/copy the additions I wanted and then just customize an existing Rom I really like by swapping out or adding those additions in the appropriate folder?
Thank you to all in advance by the way!!!! I really appreciate the help!!!

the Samsung Keyboards (and all the rest of the keyboards) are under the "Apps" tab area? But I don't know what the difference is between the Samsung Stock JPY and JS3 keyboards? Do both have the portait 3x4?
Oh yeah, I see it now. Weird, I could only see Gingerbread Keyboard before! (Maybe the page didn't load properly).
They don't differ too much, you should be fine with JS3!

That's strange! You're Right!! If you choose "update.zip" as the Base Rom choice (which I assume is just adding onto your existing Rom after playing with this site more) then the Samsung Keyboard Does Disappear from the App Tab Choices!!!
Yeah, I just realised that as well... I might hunt around for you and find the Keyboard's .apk right now
It'll be a different set of instructions, but it won't be "too" hard. Basically the option via my first post in this thread.
If you were to install Serendipity, you could use this:

The Samsung Keyboard is there.

Yeah... for now I'm just going to use the Serendipity Rom..... Thanks!
Woohoo, I figured out how to do it! I've attached a thumbnail of the new screenshot with no clock. I have also posted the services.zip I made.
Feel free to use it, I am using it for the andromeda 3 rom....I can only say that it works for me. Use it at your own risk.
Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to remove the status bar clock. But nothing I've found will work for the Andromeda 3 rom.
If someone would be so kind to edit the services.jar for me, just to remove the clock.

Haven't done anything myself with a services.jar, though I did find the following. Here's the manual method, as well as some .zips someone made. I doubt they will work as they were made using the HTC Droid Incredible, but it was what I could find at the time. Not responsible if you try to flash these and a brick happens!

Yup, I tried those....don't work. The rom is the Armani I9010. None of the threads have a services.jar for this (pretty sure it's JL1). I tried a couple just to see, but got boot looping. I posted my services.jar in that thread hoping for the guy to make me one, but I think that thread is pretty dead.....sadly!

Hello Im a new member of XDA and currently reading a lot of threads in the forums and they are really helpful.
I have recently rooted and flashed Cm7 to my Nexus S to mess around with it and see if i like it or not.
I like the extra features but however i cannot stand the launcher UI. I dont mind thats its the stock look but the icons on the dock settings on CM7 is not my taste.
I came across the Matteblue Theme by jabbawalkee and its beautiful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848
However im not very experainced and i do not know how to apply this theme.
I have downloaded the icon pack and the fonts but i unzipped the icon pack but Launcher Pro or ADW launcher doesnt recognize it in my phones SD memory.
Can someone help me how to apply this theme and flash the fonts.
Also i love the look of the stock dock in jabbawalkee cm screent shots and i do realized its from cm6? is there anyway in cm7 to make it look like the stock dock?
Thank
just download the right version of the theme for cm7. go into recovery and flash (install zip from sd card) it on top of the ROM that u've flashed. Just reboot and it'll be done. U'll have the theme running on your phone.
I cant seem to find the downloads? Only the " Other Downloads" that contain the fonts and icon packs.
i think he must've removed the DL as he must be coming up with the new version. just post in that thread for the download link. someone will mirror it for you. i don't use cm7 so i don't have the theme otherwise i would've uploaded it for u. i have infinity version of the theme though, if you are interested in that?
I need a download link to matts blue. I will try out the infinity version also.

Is Infinity a better Rom?? Ive been reading and lot of people recomended CM7 and so far i like it, nice and stable and speedy.
