Hey Guys!
All you have to do is put a additional file under /system/framework (so the Updater knows the Theme Version your running on) and create your own MetadataFile for Theme Support.
You can also create a Big MetadataFile with all the Updates in there, but thats a whole work to keep it up to date.
Take a look at the wiki, how the JSON-File has to look, and how the update will work:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogen-updater/wiki/CreateJSONMetadataFile
When you have questions: Just ask
Hope you like it
Update 28/10/2009:
CM-Updater 4.5 is out.
Get it here:
http://cyanogen-updater.googlecode.com/files/cmupdater_4.5.apk
Update 09/09/2009:
Added a HowTo
Update 08/09/2009:
CM-Updater 4.1 is out:
Fixed Bug when changing orientation while Barcodescanning
Fixed Bug with MD5SUM to Pad the String to 32chars
UpdateFolder can now be changed (i think its beta )
Suggestion for all Theme Developers(cause some host their themes on one click hosters):
Create a google code Project to host your themes and your JSON.
You can put up to 2gb Files on there and you have direct downloads.
For Barcodes use this link(creates permalinks):
http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
HowTo:
When you want to Use the Theme Update Feature, youn have to configure a Theme Server first. I haven't included one, because each ThemeDev has its own Theme JSON File.
Search your Favourite Theme Thread @ XDA and see, if the Designer already made it cm-updater compatible. If not ask him if he can do so and point him to this Thread.
If its compatible, just go to Settings-->Themes-->Theme Update Server, and enter the URL (must be a URL to a file called *.json) or just scan a Theme Barcode if the ThemeDev provided one. The Barcodescanning is the same as entering it manually, but it saves work so you don't have to type in the url.
The next Time you do a "Check now" the ThemeUpdaterServer File will be scanned (also the Rom Updates) and if the Theme matches some criterias (see below), it will show up in the App under Themes. All you have to do now, is download the File and hit "Apply Now".
When you are complaining about, the Themes and Roms are showing up even tough you already installed it, just disable the "Show all Updates" Option. When this is enabled, you will always see every Update(with a few limitations as described above). When you disable this feature, you will probably only see Updates.
How the Updater works (Themes):
Theme Developers put a File called
/system/framework/themes.theme
in their Themepackages, to tell the Update you are running a Theme with this name and this Version.(The Path is configurable)
When there is no themes.theme File present, the App assumes a Wildcard for Theme Checking (will come to this later).
When any of the described checks don't pass, the Update is Discarded and the App proceeds with checking the next Update in the List.
When you do now an Updatecheck, first the Rom Provided in the JSON File (Theme Update Server) must match the Rom your running. This is because a Theme is always designed for a specific Version of a Rom, and this is a Securityfeature that you can not mess up your System.
When your Rom Matches, the next thing from the JSON that gets compared is the Theme Name.
This must either match the Theme Name from the themes.theme, or if this File is not Present or you have the "Show all Theme Updates" Option enabled, the Wildcard is used. So this Updates will always show up, so you can install a Theme, if you dont have one installed.
Next thing is the Version. If Wildcard(no themes.theme File or Show All Updates enabled) is used, the Version is not compared. Otherwise its compared against the Version from the themes.theme, so you will only see updates for your Theme and no older Versions.
The last thing that must match is the branch. Its either Stable or Experimental. It depends on your Configuration (Show Experimental Builds), if this update shows up or not.
When your Update is not showing up, connect your Phone via USB Cable and do an
Code:
adb logcat | grep "<CM-Updater>"
You will see the Output from the App, and the Reason why an Update is discarded. It can be helpful for Theme devs to test their own Jsons.
damn i cant wait for this
Thanks for all your work! Already prepping to use and abuse this feature for my themes :]
Greatly appreciate your work.
This sounds great! Will definitely look into it more when I get the chance.
This is just amazingly awesome...

great idea
So are there two buttons now? One to check mod update other for your theme update? Build in devs metadata file location and have a drop down menu so you can switch themes on the fly. Maybe add a link to go to a location with 5 or 6 screenshots that pop up in the browser? To make it super easy. Add an option to input your own custom locations and save them and make them nameable and selectable from a drop down menu. Devs can just include a location in thread topic of their metadata file. And when you need to add a feature...just add in new metadata file links as well. Like custom apns i suppose.
Is there going to be some way for it to keep track of theme compatibility? For example, I have a theme (Enoch) which works with 4.0.4, but EnochX works only with 4.1.X. If they tried to install EnochX on 4.0.4, or Enoch on 4.1 - what would happen? Will CMUpdater know not to install incompatible themes? Perhaps there should be a JSON identifier for what build a theme is compatible against?

The "mod" string in the json must match the ro.modversion from /system/build.prop . Otherwise you will not see the update. Maybe i will add multiple mod strings
impressive!
wow, i can not wait to use this! i'm glad that your including theme support so now we can handle themeing a lot easier
awesome work!
Now you can add multiple mod strings to support more roms per update-
in example cm 4.1.1 and 4.1.1.1 where the themetemplate hasnt changed
You have to split them with a |
made a new testing version for you with more features
check out the first post!
added a barcode picture in the first post so you can scan it for my smaple json. Its much easier than typing
just a check....
who has already started implimenting this?
we plan to release on sunday - giving u guys some time to catch up and get ready
IF you have ur json and themes ready by sunday, email me with the URL and description
i plan to give the links to 5-10 theme jsons in the 1st post if you guys are ready
i will be out of contact from monday til friday, so sunday is the deadline to get ur theme in the "featured" list
What about themes that replace files like framework.jar or services.jar willthose work?

why should it not work?it only downloads the theme and applies it via the recovery image.
The same way as when you do it manually.
Brilliant!

I've got a themes.theme file in my latest as well as a json file uploaded to http://injun.org/themes/SystemForce.json (case important i think) if anyone wants to try it out in incidental releases.
prash...have a look at the 1st post of the updater thread...
would be good to have u in the featured list
can u make a quick mock-up of the theme for 4.1.2.1?
im using that version so cant actually "see" your 4.0.4 themes
if it works then u, my friend, will be the 1st in the featured list
Update 1/10 Minor update to some, maybe major to others, I've made some changes to the status bar pull down for Ascend users, I've changed the main text to be black, I'm still not completely happy with it, so i'll keep tweaking... Also, I've added support for HDPI devices in the Gingerbread3.5.zip, in general the theme should work on a wider variety of devices.

}
Update 1/9 The theme is pretty much complete
In order for Ascend users to get the white clock you need to download buildprop and replace the one under your system folder with it. You'll have to be rooted and use a file manager or you could use adb shell or a terminal to replace your build.prop
Another change to the build.prop for the popups!!!
Special thanks to yuyuye for the information.
I've attached some screenshots of the theme in action. There are many more changes not visible in the screenshots, the majority of the framework-res have been updated to match the new theme.
UPDATE 12/16
I've attached the metamorph theme in case anyone wants to try it, i would say it's beta quality as it's not finished, but it's usable. Just load the v0.1.zip file on to your sdcard, download metamorph and install away. If you have any basic questions, feel free to ask but I won't be providing an major support yet because it's not finished. I would say it's 75% complete at the most. And as always, you shouldn't have any problems but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
UPDATE 12/22
New version v0.3 with a change to the submenu, I changed the submenu to white so the text is legible until i can get the Ascend deodexed and properly change the color of the text...
The download labeled GingerbreadAscend3.zip is may specifically for the Ascend I don't recommend anyone apply it on any other phones
The download labeled Gingerbread3.zip is for any and all MDPI phones
Have fun!!!

http://min.us/mvk9WPS
Insrtuctions for installation:This is a Metamorph theme, so download and install Metamorph. Put the theme on your sdcard. Make sure your phone is rooted, you have busbox downloaded and installed and that usb debugging is turned on
For Ascend users, download your appropriate build.prop file and use a program like root explorer or subfs to copy and paste it into the /system/ directory, if you don't want to purchase one of those programs, download this program from the market "Mount /system (rw / ro)" open it and mount the system as r/w then use adb shell or a terminal emulator to copy the file over
Code:

I am no longer supporting this theme, I'm moving on to bigger and better. Happy themeing!!!!
Made a little progress using apk manager to decompile some of the xmls, got the date to show up white but still not the time and popup option menus(not sure what to call them). If anyone has any expertise, I could use the help....

If you send me your framework-res.apk I can fix the code for the pop-up menu text.

Thanks, but problem is I don't have a "values" folder in my framework, much less an xml called "style" in any of the folders...
wait..
I'm an idiot... found it
It wasn't re-compiling the whole framework for me either, i had to to trick it to get it to re-compile the styles.xml by putting it in a different folder and renaming it... Flashed it to my phone.... and... no difference, pulled the framework back down and made sure the changes where present and they are... the Ascend doesn't seem to use those files at all... I'm pretty sure too because i accidentally deleted all the files in the values folder except the styles.xml and the phone works fine...
Thanks for your ideas Benny879, if you have any insight as to whats going on, I'd appreciate any help you could give, in the mean time i'm going to be pouring through these xml files, looking for any clues...
For anyone following the progress on this, the problem seems to be that this phone uses odex files instead of the more easily assessable jar or apks, so I'm looking into deodexing the necessary files... If anyone could offer assistance, I would appreciate it...

The gingerbread metamorph theme I'm working on will change your lock screen sliders, your notification bar and slide down, your dialog confirmation buttons, market place tab button and a bunch of other misc graphics, your signal bars, battery, bluetooth, etc... The theme i'm working on doesn't touch the launcher. i personally use launcher pro, so this theme doesn't conflict with it, but if you want your launcher specifically to look like gingerbread's, you can find themes already made for launcher pro..

Welcome to the ROM scene. Looks like a very nice ROM and must say one of the most organized ROM explanatory post.
Sounds interesting, will probably have to give this a flash

Note to everyone: there was an issue when I built the ROM, so I have to rebuild it entirely. It should take about 20min, so please be patient.
One thing I like about CM is the toggle widgets in the notification panel and non-intrusive notification sound, that is the notification sound does not interrupt my music. Are these two features also found in this ROM? I'm currently on stock ROM for its stability, but I really miss these two features.
Good. Waiting on the update. Will the power controls and oxygen settings from 2.3.4 work w this?

Fixed builds are up.
So far really loving the speed of this rom. Any plans on putting in the theme chooser? Or is there a way too?

Looks like a very nice rom!
Here's a few suggestions:
- Remove wallpapers and Live Wallpapers, they take away space and are not necessary.
- Add some menu to the Settings.apk for these:
-- Power Widgets
-- Torch
-- Battery Percentage
Also, what kernel is this using? I assume Netarchy 1.3.9 CFS.
For all you that don't know, a new recovery (TeamWinRecoveryProject) has created the first GUI-based recovery

Wow latest update looks great. Would be cool if you could add ICS progress bar and fonts. Just an idea.
I just flashed something and that red background was "alarming" I thought I funked something up. Also the text was a little hard to read with the red background . Maybe black instead to red for the background?
There is a bug on the last page of data whip the menus carry over to that page. FYI.

here's a little something i made for the masses to flash TWRP and automatically have your theme https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D315775_7173530_083842
its a bat file for windows that auto reboots to bootloader erases recovery and flashes TWRP for the GSM NEXUS S (T-mobile /att / rogers )
Sorry sprint users
Simple download this extract it and run RecoveryFlasher.bat
it adb pushes the ui.zip to the correct folder on the sdcard to avoid confusion
if anyone finds any issues with it let me know
please note you must already have an unlocked bootloader and adb and fastboot drivers for it to work
Installed the theme this morning, doing a restore does not show the "Enable MD5 checking of backup files" text and checkbox. I can see a little line belonging to the checkbox but the rest is covered. Thanks, excelent theme.
love it but could you remove the virtual buttons ?

Thanks for this theme, by the way. It looks lovely on my EVO 4G. But I agree, the on-screen button aren't needed, since the hardware buttons work fine within recovery (at least they do on the EVO).
Hi all, this is a mod i started making for my own device, and decided to share it.
It is based on the files contained in the deodexed ROM I uploaded here, which is in turn based on the FTF uploaded by @Leo here.
Antiga Prime - Blue Neon mod

More screenshots:
Even though I do delete/disable most system apps I don't use, there are some that I don't consider bloatware (although don't necessarily use) and I leave installed, which I have also modded since after changing the system framework they would look wrong/weird, and which are also included here, in case anyone uses them.
This is not a "theme" which you install and manage through the Theme section of settings. This is a modded framework and apps which, once flashed, will replace your current framework and the apps included. It mods the entire framework, which will change the aspect of certain apps that rely on system default themes. Even though I have tried to check and correct every visual flaw, there might be certain apps that might have visual inconsistencies. If you find any, please let me know.
Also, since this is a "blue" colored mod, it will look best with a blue theme, such as Air or Xperia. I personally don't use themes, and leave it on the default "Xperia" theme. The apps packaged in the zip file will not change if you change the default Theme, they are hardcoded to use the color I've used for this mod. If you have and use other apps that change depending on the theme, then you would probably want to use any of the two themes mentioned above.
I would have preferred to make this into an actual installable theme APK file, but haven't found a way to actually compile asset files while using a modded "styles.xml" file, since this mod doesn't just replace PNG files. Anyway...
Apps contained in this mod:
Calculator
Calendar
Messaging
Contacts/Phonebook
Dialer
Settings
SystemUI
Xperia Home Launcher
Clock
Package Installer*
*Fixed the visual bug with the app title dropping over the divider line, so no need for the "Fix Sony Bugs" Xposed module
Custom Features:
Transparent gradient status bar/navigation bar when on Xperia Apps, or windows identified as having being able to use a "transparent background" for status bar and navigation bar
5 button symmetric navigation bar with custom icons. You need Gravity Box, (or similar app) to force the left-most menu button to always be visible, and I use GB to reassign the key commands as so:
Double tap Menu key to turn screen off, and long press it to bring up the Power Menu; reassign the the "Recent apps" button so that it behaves as a "Back" button, and enable the "Menu" button to always be visible, that you way you have the exact same layout on both sides, so you can use it with one hand either from the left or the right. Then I make the "Recent apps" list appear when double tapping/long pressing the "Home" key.

Default button placement is, from left to right: "Recent Apps, Home, Back, Menu".

Installation notes:
Even though this is intended to be used with a modded services.jar, which can be done manually following this guide, I have also attached a "signed" version, which might work with a non-modded ROM. I can't confirm this for a fact because I haven't taken the time to restore the unmodded services.jar, but it worked fine on my modded ROM. Anyone one who wants to try it out can do so at their own risk (as if anything seriously bad could really happen) . Attached is my modded "superuser.jar".
Installation:
.- Make a backup (obviously)
.- Flash modded "services.jar" file, or patch it yourself.
.- Flash AP_NeonFrameworkMod.zip
.- Wipe cache (optional, but recommended)
.- Reboot

*People who want to try the theme and haven't modded or flashed the "services.jar" file, you can use this file, which has signed apps. Once again, I do not take responsibility if apps force close and you don't know how to restore your default framework/apps.
The status bar and navigation bar icons seen in my screenshots have been modded used Gravity Box (xposed module); The wallpapers are also attached which match the default background used as the default background: a scrollable wallpaper for people who like a scrolling wallpaper, and another one for those who don't.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your phone not booting up due to changes you have made to the default state of your ROM

HINT: In the event that you would want go back to your default ROM state without having to restore an entire backup, you can simply extract the apps listed above from your ROM before flashing, or extract them from the zip/FTF you used to flash your ROM, use them to replace the ones in the zip file using 7zip, and then flash that file.

All you'd need to do is use 7zip to open the same file you flashed, and replace the apk files contained in system/app with the ones from your original ROM, as well as replace the "framework-res.apk" from the system/framework folder.
What ROM are you on?

Flash this; it should restore all the modified apps with the ones on the latest Rockers build.
