[Theme] *Testers Needed* Flat Black for CM MDPI device

I'm trying to get a simple port of my flat theme working on MDPI devices running CM6.1.0 RC1. It is just the notification bar and icons, no animations, lockscreen or ability to change the lockscreen background.
If anyone is interested in testing, please head over to this page and grab the files.

Thanks for having a look, I'll re-up it when I get the chance. Are you using the CyanogenMod 6.1.0 RC1 ROM? This is the ROM I've built the framework on.
Also the zips are not signed so you need to flash without checking for verification.

Thanks, yeah that looks ok. Is there anything you see which needs improving?
PS. I can make I you a set of blue icons if you like. What is the hex code for your text settings?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks, that would be very cool. I have been trying to get a set of blue icons using UOT kitchen. But I've not been overly keen on the results.
The hex code is 1B70E0
I really like some of your over work, in particular the scrolling wallpaper and dock you have done for hdpi devices. Any chance of seeing this for mdpi?

Try this.
As for the scrolling wallpaper its just a bit of maths;
Your screen is 320x480 therefore you wallpaper will be 640x480.
If you set 6 home-screens then it will scroll by 320/5 = 64 pixels.
Make a background that is 640x480 and put a stripe every 64 pixels. 6 home-screens should then scroll the width of each stripe.
Alright..too much procrastination for me today...
Hope you enjoy, If you like it can you post a screeny? Can I use your screens on my blog?

I've signed the zip and it flashed OK, if it's OK with ClassicalGas I'll upload it for those of us still on AmonRa's recovery.
The theme is looking good, not noticed any problems so far, I will go through and test as much as I can and report back

No problem at all from me. Can you please tell me how you signed the zip, or point me in the right direction? I've tried a few times but can't get it working. It's very frustrating!!

Is it the zip or the apk which needs signing?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

You just need to sign the zip. I have added a zip for AutoSign, very simple to use just rename the target zip 'update.zip', extract the autosign.zip into a folder and put the target zip in it as well and run the exe. I have also added the update zip for the Ubuntu fonts if anyone wants them.
Just out of curiosity, are you planning on porting the other parts of the theme (lock-screen, dialogue boxes e.t.c) or is this purely a notification bar port? Either way, great for the MDPI devices to get some love!

Might be worth posting a link to this thread in the hero forum. They have been after new themes for the new cyanogen Rom.
Thanks again.

I still can't get it to sign for some reason, I have heard there could be issues with Windows 7 and signing. Do you mind if I send new Hero stuff to you to sign?
I am wanting to port everything over eventually, but it will take a bit of time and it depends on the interest received from the MDPI users here.

I'll definitely give this a whirl when 6.1 goes stable (RC1 was a mess for me, dunno why). Figures, your theme is about exactly what I had wanted back in September while I was doing the WinPhone7 theme-y thing x]

the only way any lwp could be a real "battery drainer" is if u spend a lot of time with ur screen on sitting on ur home screens, a lwp isnt actively using battery if ur in an app other then ur launcher or if ur screen is off

Anyone notice that when your battery is low there are less microbes and they seem to move slower?

is it possible to install this on a non rooted Epic 4G?

Nope. It's only for a limited time. I don't regret buying it during its launch sale either. You should go buy it from the Android Market, it's a really spectacular keyboard.
You have a 15 minute refund window if you don't like it but I honestly don't think 15 minutes is enough and SwiftKey shouldn't disappoint.

I'm sure they'll expand globally as time goes by. Probably has something to do with licensing or whatever.

You know it ain't to bad this keyboard. Very good prediction on it and I have not typed a key wrong yet. Any more themes coming out for this?

Yeah. That's one thing I had problems with when I first used it but you could disable it if you wanted to. Like I would press period then space and it would autocomplete a word. You could disable it if you want, but I think in the long run it'll be worth it.
And nope. No themes, before SwiftKey X I used Smart Keyboard Pro which allowed people to make custom themes. It was really accurate but SwiftKey was just too amazing to pass up. I miss it but ehh, the neon theme looks cool. There are 3 different themes in the app/keyboard.
Not going to lie though, SwiftKey X makes me love my phone & tablet more especially the tablet version, its amazing with the split keyboard.

Yea it is cool. Glad I got it now.

gotta say this is a lot faster than typing on swype.
word prediction is a huge upgrade, i constantly have to make corrections on swype whereas having the "learning" function makes things a lot easier in swiftkey

I feel like this keyboard has slow down lil bit my phone and I check by unstalling. And it was slowing my phone. Was using 44 MB of the ram
But keyboard is great nice looking

I don't understand why,....
Swift X gives itself rights to:
- read SMS or MMS stored on your device or SIM card
- full Internet access
-Allows an application to create network sockets.
- Phone calls: determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, etc.
- modify/delete USB storage contents modify/delete SD card contents
None of these are necessary other than for the application to send information from your phone to their servers....and they make you pay for collecting just say usage info? No opt-outs, inadequate privacy and TOS leave me in a position to keep saying no to this type of app.
Even with a rooted phone and a good firewall....why??? Am I missing something?

Read SMS: uses SMS to add words and predictions to dictionary
Internet access: You can login to Facebook/twitter and learn from Facebook posts and tweets
Network sockets: see above
Phone calls: almost all apps use this, most likely do disable internet connection
Modify SD: to save predictions.
you can opt out of the internet access by not setting up facebook/twitter integration.

ANOTHER ONE OF THESE "BEST" QUESTIONS o.o there is no such thing as best, everything comes from your likes and dislikes and people have different views over something. If *this* is good for me, it may or may not be good to you. GET IT?

my personal favorite is thunderstorm live wallpaper.

before you use any live wallpaper think of your ram and battery...

my personal favorite is Polar clock which comes with cyanogen mod 7.2.
