[METAMORPH] hakkeshou tazz/tenzo sense froyo espresso (2010-11-07 - Work Around)

For users of the newly released sense froyo ROMs who can't stand the stock sense launcher I whipped up a quick espresso style morph (search for Metamorph here or the market) to hold everyone over until they are done getting this fully working so you don't have to deal with that pathetic stock launcher (odd considering HTC are essentially mobile interface gods to many of us here).
WORKAROUND FOR REPORTED ISSUE:
If you run into any issues it seems unzipping it outside of MM and dropping it into /sdcard/AndroidThemes manually should work around it.
http://labs.cities2night.com/droid/hakke_tenzo _tazz_sense _froyo_2.2_espresso_morph.zip
For those who asked about 2.1, yes should work fine. Nothing but PNGs are in this morph so it will work on any rosie launcher.
Screenshot attached.

Haven't tried it yet but thanks in advance!

Hey I have downloaded this several times, and I keep getting an error in metamorph, something about the way the .zip is set up... hoping to try it out, it looks really nice, but can't figure it out
Thanks in advance!!!

Would this work for a 2.1 sense rom?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741875
I couldn't get this one in this thread to do anything period because it's not signed right according to Metamorph, but the one in the link I posted worked like a charm for xtrSense 4.6.

just fyi for anyone running Tenzo 2.2 Sense, this mm theme hangs while applying the htc.resources and then gets caught in a boot loop. I'll try to just apply the rosie theme and see if that takes at all.
EDIT: I knew it was a longshot to use a 2.1 theme on a 2.2 rom, but yeah it didn't take at all. Hopefully either i can figure out how to do hakkeshou's one or he will fix it.

It should work if you press menu in metamorph and then settings then check the box that says Disable all warnings, I extracted the entire zip into its own folder in androidthemes.

Wow thanks, that worked perfectly!

Thanks for feedback. Since I made the morph I just copied the filer to /sdcard/AndroidThemes so the issue seems to be caused by using MM to unzip the theme folder into that folder.
Odd but but at least my hunch was verified to be correct. I'll update the OP.

One Click Theme Injector (Updated 11/15) With HDPI to MDPI resizing!! RE-READ THE OP

READ THIS FIRST:
The original post is here alot of questions have been answered, here browse around there first.
UPDATE 9 PATCH TWEAKS:
This new version will port your favorite hdpi theme to an mdpi rom... yes 9 patch resizing. I want to be the first to say this is not 100% and it probably never will be, and over the next couple of days we can discuss this.
What it will do is resize every 9 patch in a rom and move it over to the mdpi theme. Yes this is the same method I used for all my hdpi ports.
What it might not get is the 9 patching data correctly, which means that it might get stretched incorrectly, most times you won't noticed but others it will be obvious. This will happen anywhere from 1% to 30% of the 9 patch pngs in a port, but all you will need to do is redraw them using the 9 patch draw tool in the adb folder.
My next version will have this included along with some instructions, along with font and boot animation porting.
Please respect other peoples work. If you port a theme using this and repost it don't just link back to the op... mention the author and give them props.
Also want to say I spent a looooong time trying to figure this out, and I tried many different ways, and I'm open to others suggestion on making this better
Oh and don't forget to to install Image Magick, its included and the HDPI to MDPI will not work without this.
This tool will take your favorite theme and inject it into your favorite rom... provided they are compatible with each other (might work if they aren't but thats for later). I did this cause alot of themers and people who like themes are always waiting for the nightly theme to get applied, well this will do it for you.
You can think of this as almost a theme installer.
INSTRUCTIONS by Norm12:
1. Download and extract.
1.5 Install image magick from the image magick folder... just run the installer and its ready to go. This is important the hdpi to mdpi will not work without it.
2. Copy both the theme and rom into the 1 click folder---the extracted one.
3. Open the 1-click folder and you should see your theme, rom, lib folder, and the injector script.
4. Doubleclick on the injector script----if you did everything correct it will open a cmd prompt
5. Enter the names of the rom and theme when asked...I did use the exact names and added ".zip" to the end.
5.5 Answer y if this is an hdpi to mdpi port otherwise n.
6. Hit enter and wait. When it is really done it will auto-close the cmd prompt. This may take 15 minutes.
7. Your newly themed rom will be in the same folder as the unthemed rom and theme zips. If it worked it should be slightly larger than the original rom. Enjoy
!!!IMPORTANT... BECAUSE 7ZIP SHOWS OUTPUT IGNORE THE "EVERYTHING IS OK" LET THE SCRIPT FINISH WHEN ITS DONE IT WILL CLOSE ITSELF IF YOU DOUBLE CLICKED IT OR IT WILL RETURN TO COMMAND PROMPT!!!
Ignore any errors your seeing while it runs, this is normal like before let it run completely through till it closes out.
Run time could be up too 20 minutes (60 with HDPI to MDPI) on a big theme/rom, but faster that waiting!
You must now install Image Magick if you would like to use the hdpi to mdpi resizing!
ISSUES:
There also seems to be an issue with the gallery3d.apk and the differences in the mdpi and hdpi version. For now remove this from the theme your porting otherwise it won't come out right.
Update 4:
HDPI to MDPI porting!!!!!
Update 3:
Removed verbose but added optopng verbose just let it run. It works but you have to let it finish, the cmd window will close it self.
Update 2:
Added verbose output so that you guys will know to close it out before its done...even tho 7zip says everything is ok... just let it do its thing.
Update 1:
Had the optimization stuff commented out... sorry its back on.
Script will clean up now after it finishes.
JAVA CLASSPATH:
Its needed for the signer to work properly goto a command prompt and type in java -version. if you get and error back java is not in your classpath and needs to be.
just right click on my computer, then goto properties, then click on the advanced tab, at the bottom click on the "Environment Variable" button.
Now click on the new button... the one on the bottom for system variable and put in this
variable name: JAVA_HOME
variable value: C:\<path-to-where-java-is>
Now click ok and select the path system variable and then click edit. IMPORTANT only append to the end of the value this... ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
then click ok and ok out of all those windows and open a new command prompt and type java -version you should get no error if you do your path to java was wrong follow the steps above again and make sure the path is correct.
WHAT THIS WON'T DO:
It won't port over xml or smali edits.
It wont port over what it can't find... so if your theme has a facebook widget or something but the rom does not then it will ignore that.
It will not port over fonts or anything other than the framework-res.apk and all the themes apks in the system/app folder. If this is popular Maybe other stuff can get included.
WHAT THIS WILL DO:
Shrink a 9 patch from HDPI size to MDPI size.
Push over all the themes pngs from the apk with it to the roms matching apk.
Optimize every png in the theme you are porting over.
Zip align all the apks in your newly themed rom.
Sign the newly themed rom.
Give me feed back.
I might make this easier and make the injector steal the apks for injection right from your phone and then inject and make a flashable to put right back on... tell me what you think.

Thank you. hasn't caught on in this forum yet i guess.

I'll try this out now, this seems easier than the theme porter that's already on the forum.

Looks promising! I will try it out right now!

dl and try after work

will this work for porting themes to the HTC Tattoo?? does it rescale the theme to suite the phone?

This will port any theme to any rom... provided they are compatible. So while you can go from a sense theme and inject it into a AOSP rom, it probably won't catch everything since it works off of matches. It also does not have any scaling included.
The biggest thing with this is that the theme and rom have to have a same file structure so all rom come and the have the system/app folder and the system/framework/framework-res.apk, this is what the injector looks for. So honestly you could build a theme from a buncha different apks from other themes it will inject that into your rom and give you back a flashable zip. So a good theme structure example would be Gommarah's Black Mod in the HERO CDMA forum.
I do however have a way to port HDPI theme to and MDPI ROM but its not 100%... if I get enough request I'll put it in its just the process I use to accomplish this is very complicated and requires some extra software, its also adds a significant overhead to the script run time (and 3x longer to run) It works in the since the it will shrink the HDPI 9patch png but the 9 patch data is wrong about 10-20% of the time. This won't cause the roms to force close but will just make some of the 9patch pngs to stretch wrong and would require a simple edit in the 9patch draw to fix it.

+1 for hdpi to mdpi scaling!

Any others want the hdpi to mdpi scaling? I've considered releasing it.

Just curious if I did this right as I am still fairly new to this whole scene and this whole process seemed to work way to easy. But basically I got both the rom and theme converted and then signed both zips. Does that mean that I can now successfully flash the new theme? Thanks in advance!

There is no need to sign anything, the injector will sign the final output zip. Take your theme zip and your rom zip and place it in the folder next to the script. Then just run the script when its finished you will get a a new zip called themed-<roms-name>.zip.... this is ready to flash (optoed, align and signed).

So if I already have cm6.1.1 installed, can I just install the Gingerbreadxml.rar and framework-res.apk for the theme to work? Or do I have to reinstall cm6.1.1 with GM theme built in? Thanks

You could, but I would just flash the rom zip over what you have as it has a few extras like the gingerbread browser and phone apk.
Nice find, brswatt. Finally a full theme that doesn't break my tethering. Updating my thread to point to this one.

You could, but you wouldn't have the gingerbread dialer.
So just flash the whole thing. It doesn't hurt.
Then just put the xml on your card.

Here is a LiveWallpapers.apk to adb push or include in that rom before you flash. I replaced the cyanogenmod wallpaper with the nexus s wallpaper.

Well, when the flashable zip thread pops up in the themes forum, you can link it there, or I'll link it in the first post.

wow, many thanks. Im going to try out right now

I put the gingerbread.xml in the cmparts.apk, so we don't need to save it to sdcard/cmtheme.
About the flashable, by the time you run the cleanup.sh, /system might be not mounted. Nevermind, files will be overwritten anyway. But I still think files delete and set-perm should be done within update-script.
EDIT: File updated. Sorry I didn't know it only loads internal theme files that contain the word "STOCK".

Nice theme, but is there a way to get the old notification pull down back? I like the dark themed pulldown better.
Edit: Nevermind...the CMTheme changed it.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[Alpha][CM7][HDPI]StatusBar Brightness Control

Here's a mod for the StatusBar that will allow you to change the screen brightness by sliding your finger left/right across the statusbar.
I've tested this on numerous Supersonic nightlies (28, 29, 30, 31) and it always seems to work properly. If you have a theme that modified the SystemUI.apk file, you probably don't want to flash this.
I have not had this tested on any device other than a EVO (Supersonic). Please report back if this works on your device.
Instructions
0. Nandroid First!
1. Flash the ZIP via Recovery (it replaces SystemUI.apk in the /system/app folder)
2. Fix APK uid mismatches via Recovery (not required, but I always do it out of habit).
3. Reboot
4. Disable Auto-brightness in Settings -> Display
5. After phone reboots, touch and hold your finger on the statusbar (the drag bar will show like normal) for 1/2 a second.
6. Slide left/right on the statusbar, if you slide down then it will not work. Screen will darken/brighten as you slide.
Source code is available here -> https://github.com/daryelv/android_frameworks_base/blob/gingerbread/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.java for anyone that wants to include it in their own ROM.

This sounds very cool.
So it would definitely NOT work on MDPI?

The code will work in MDPI or HDPI, nothing is hardcoded as far as the screen resolution. However, for the resources in the res folder, the MDPI folders are not included in the .apk.

I'm using HTC Desire with GV 1.8 and just flashed the zip and it is working fine.

Works fantastic on an HTC Aria. This should be a standard option in CM.
Really great job, thanks!

About to flash now!!
This is EXACTLY how I have been hoping the widget would work all along! Thanks!!

Works as advertised (Desire Z) though it is not as intuitive or responsive as I've expected. I'll give it some time to see if I can get used to it.

Updated with a CWM script on the first post. I'm not sure if CWM scripts are compatible across devices since they mount specific partitions which may be different across devices. Hopefully they're all similar in the CM7 devices.

Did you cut/paste the code differences or replace the whole .java file? It appears that the import statements I added aren't being used.
I do plan on adding a checkbox in the Cyanogenmod Settings somewhere to enable/disable this functionality. I think that once I do, I'll submit the code up to cm-gerrit for review.
After I get my Linux machine reinstalled tonight/tomorrow I can probably compile up a MDPI rom and then pull the SystemUI.apk from that.
-Daryel

Just added the code differences (as my StatusBarService got other cherrypicked things).
And your plan sounds good

Cool!
It works on my GT-i9000, had to push it manually though.
CWM zip is not working, not sure why....

dear god, please oh please submit this to gerrit. this is awesome.

Works very well thanx nice mod!

[app] BATMAN Swype! *Updated 5-18*

Hey Everyone!
Let me give some thanks here:
Illinois08 for huge help with the pesky update script and editing skills.
Maddoggin of course for initial help learning to theme Swype.
MysteryEmotionz for making the trace color yellow! Give him a thanks here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082764
I was sent a request to make this for a member but thought I would share it with everyone!
First things first, If you brick your phone while trying to install, I am not responsible! Always make a back up before any flash through clockwork.
Now, this is not as detailed as some of the other themed Swype keyboards but I think it came out very nice. If you are looking for a very detailed and very nice looking Swype, check out Overstew's creation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074469! He did an awesome job!
It comes with both Portrait and Landscape. I have also made a custom notification drop-down to go with it . It will be in a different .zip file for you to download and you WILL NOT be able to flash that .zip from recovery, there is a different process to get the drop-down installed.
I will be posted an update later with a yellow trace line, right now it is normal blue. I am getting help from the legend MysteryEmotionz, Thanks buddy!
The only downside was that the Batman font didn't have lower case , but the member I made it for decided to go close to stock just for lower case so it doesn't look to bad just not perfect...
To install the BatmanSwype.zip, do as follows:
1. Download BatmanSwype.zip (bottom of post) and place on your SD card in phone.
2. Reboot your device in CWM.
3. You probably don't have to wipe cache or dalvik but I do just to be safe .
4. Install BatmanSwype.zip from SD.
5.Reboot and Save Gotham from cramped fingers of normal texting!!
Updated 5-17 with yellow trace!! Good work MysteryEmotionz!
Updated 5-18... Had to change update script should be ok now!
If you want the notification drop down as well. Do as follows:
First: Download Batmannotification.zip. Do not try to install from recovery.
If you are running a theme it makes it a lot easier. Open the theme zip on your desktop with winrar or 7zip archive.
If not you may have to do an adb pull and once it is finished, go to system/framework/twframework-res.apk.
1. You will need to find you twframework-res.apk. Which should be under system/framework.
2. Open the twframework-res.apk (with winrar)
3. Go to res/drawable-hdpi.
4. Pull the Batman images I have made out of the zip (do not change names as it is already named correctly) and put them in drawable-hdpi. Click yes to update archive.
5. You can either put it back in your theme zip and reflash or I believe you should be able to adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework... If you do it this way a reboot should be required for changes to take affect.
And Ta-Da... New and improved notification drop-down to go with the Batman Swype!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask or if you have any ideas for a special one for you let me know!
