[Theme] Black Hole Epic 4G FIXED!!

BLACK HOLE​
This is my latest theme for the Epic, and will most probably be the last before Froyo is out. I'm not sure the framework changes in Froyo, but I assume it will be no trouble to port all of my themes over to Froyo after the release. I hope you enjoy!

It should work on any deodexed rom but let me know of any issues. I'm running a stock deodexed di18

lookin good! only thing i would say is package a different wall paper in the mix. the dark blue icons dont play well with dark wallpapers. i would also say whip up a dock to match and youve got it!

Doc bar is in the works. So are plenty more extras.

do you know how the battery life on a stock deodexed di18 is compared to a custom deodexed rom. I really want to flash your theme. Also, does crake001 for the battery percentage mod work with stock deodexed and your theme?

i'm new to the android world but was successful with changing themes on my iphone. please help me by giving me step by step on how to apply this theme. i already downloaded to my samsung epic but is stuck there.

I haven't played around with too many roms to compare battery life. I carry two batteries and don't really worry about it. I didn't do the battery in percentages on this one. It is on the list for the future. Right this second I'm using a blue battery widget. Flashing my theme over crake's battery percentage will erase his mod, but it might be possible to copy my framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. I'm not sure though. Keep checking back and the percentage mod will end up on here.

Alright, first you need to download the one click root method and one click clockworkmod recovery if you haven't done that yet. The next step is you need to choose a rom that is deodexed, or download the stock di18 deodexed rom and flash the zip in clockworkmod recovery. You cannot theme the stock rom that comes on your phone, it must be deodexed so you don't run into force closed issues. Once your rom is booted and running, just boot back into recovery and apply blackhole.zip. That isn't the basic as the instructions get if you need more help, pm me and I'll go into further detail, as well as provide you with links to everything you need. Everything you need is available here at xda. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

having some trouble with this theme i have tried it on the galaxy rom by noobnl and the epic experience and on both right after i flash it the browser,contacts,and messaging icons disappear.

Sorry to hear that! I haven't tested either of these roms with the theme. The only rom I ever themed besides stock di18 deodexed was andromeda. I'll contact a few people and find out if there is something I can change in the theme to fix this. I'll pm you with anything I find out and update the OP to let others know. Once again, sorry about that! I believe when apps dissappear like that it has something to do with noticing a change in the md5sum. So I'm guessing that I'll have to sign those apps individually to fix but I'll wait for some confirmation before having you flash a mistake again.

I found the root of the problem dealing with the theme erasing half the system apps out of the phone on flash. I re-worked the apps and just successfully flashed over Frontier GS 3.0 rom, but I know it will work finally because I had the aosp magic rom and my theme deleted all the apps on there as well. It was because I was still theming apps from the dg07 build instead of using the ones from di18. Since I was using stock di18 deodexed, for some reason the apps still took but when I flashed any rom at XDA, the results were bad. I will update the OP and post as soon as I post the fix. Sorry for any inconvenience anyone has suffered.

Theme is fixed, link is updated enjoy!

Theme update! I have been real busy but haven't stopped working on the theme. The dialer colors will be adjust next!
Included now is a fix for the power control widget where you can actually see the buttons. Also the camera is themed now, here are some pics:
**Notice in the pictures the button to switch from camera to camcorder is lighter than the rest, that was fixed before upload, they should all be the same.

Also I themed Tapatalk pro on my phone. Since so many people use it, I'll help anyone who wants their version to match. I'll supply the drawable-hdpi folder and show you how to copy it in.

wow awesome work! Where is that power control widget? does it live in another apk?
edit: I think I just found it in the settings.apk (?)

Yeah settings.apk, just pull out the pngs for the widget or you'll get the other colors as well

[Q] Colored setting icons - Serendipity 5.6

I just flashed Serendipity 5.6 on my Captivate. This is my first custom rom and it works great. The only thing I'm disappointed in is I was looking forward to the colored setting icons of froyo. Where and how do I get these colored setting icons? Thanks.

+1 find the proper theme and flash it through CWM.

Can't find theme
I know you said to look for the proper theme and that it be JPY compatible, but I can't find anything in the themes and apps section. I'm pretty new to all of this and I probably can't recognize what I'm supposed to be looking for. I've been searching for threads with the same topic, but I'm not coming across any. Any further help would great. Thanks.

You should be able to get them from the Serendipity website Mikey has created.

Mikey doesn't have them on his website. I did find a thread that had them attached and said to just replace the current settings.apk in the system then app folder. Does this seem legit?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848533

I think the only issue with that is you might break some settings (i.e not be able to get to certain lock screens).
I would as in his dev forum to make sure though before flashing it.
Or... at least backup the current one before putting that one on the phone so you could restore it if something bad happens.

There are few colored settings icons on this thread. See if they appeal to u. These should go with any JPY based ROM.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939231

I found someone who posted the colored icon settings.apk for serendipity. I have yet to try it. I will later and will post my results.

[Q] Please assist on keyboard mod

Over the past week I have been looking for assistance on having a keyboard I like modded to work with the theme I'm using.
Specs
ROM: Serendipity v6.3 - Theme: ZeuBugTheme (I9000 theme) JS based - Keyboard in question extracted from: Erebos (JPX/U/Y/JS3/JS5/JS7/JS8)
The keyboard is a .apk. I have tried the following to no avail, constantly getting the "Force Close" warning. File name gbkb.apk.
1) Dropping directly into System>app
2) Rename to libjni_latinime.so (not sure if I did it right, but didn't work)
I tried a few other things, things I don't remember that went terribly wrong!
So I ask for help understanding how to make something like this work with my setup.
Interestingly enough, they also have a dialer which I was easily able to replace the DialerTabActivity.apk and have the dialer work. So why not the keyboard?
Pleas ask questions I would truly like to rectify this.
Thanks, Tomween1

you need the gbkb.apk and the matching .so. you dont just rename anything.
drop the apk into /system/app and the .so that is included with the theme into /system/lib
thats it. you dont have to modify anything

OK, this too was one of my questioning areas (earlier in my attempts). Not sure what the so file is that I should use.
Also can these items be inserted into a cwm and be flashed? Not that I will 9don't know how yet), just a need to know

[Q] How to enable overscroll glow on stock rom 2.3.3

Does anyone know how to enable overscroll glow on galaxy tab in stock rom 2.3.3?
I looked for it in some forum, but I only found some files to flash with recovery which are not for galaxy tab and this rom.
It's enabled on overcome RC1, So someone should know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Probably a change in the framework, which would need a deodexed rom, which means it won't work on stock.
I could be wrong though.
The weird thing is the over scroll glow still shows some places, like in the browsers bookmarks list.

I think you are right, it's in the framework.jar, but I didn't know it doesn't work on stock rom. So I decided to flash overcome RC1. The overscroll glow is enabled in this rom and you can even change the color by changing two image in the framework-res.apk
thanks for your help.

As soon as Overcome integrates a OC/UV kernel with smartass cpu governor, I will probably make the jump to Overcome.

if you go to setting you will already see that it has overscroll glow (orange like color)
if you need to create your own color use uot kitchen(change animation,battery,icons ..etc)
you will need to upload these two files framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

[APP] [Themed] NS4G MMS with Autosplit DenverG/1Dynasty Themes

**Make a Backup**
This is AOSP's mms.apk from oICS with AutoSplit for NS4G.
ICONS:
If you want to mix and match Icons, it's really easy to do and you don't have to decompile/recompile or anything like that. So I'm going to give you instructions on doing so rather than put up 15 or so versions of the same thing with different icons Go Here to see the instructions and to download the Icon Zips.
1Dynasty has created about 20 or so themes now so he's given me permission to include his many themed MMs apks, so this thread is going to get large quick. But here we go...
1Dynasty also got a hold of the information we needed to get the border lines out of this thing - which translates to GTalk as well. I'm going to update this thread throughout the day and probably tomorrow as well, as I get screenshots and such to put up.
If you download one of mine, you can thank me if you'd like. If you download one of 1Dynasty's, head over here and spank his like button At this point, this is a collaborative effort
So I'll start with my first borderless version, this is based off of the version I put into HoloBlue, I made a few subtle changes and removed the borderlines.
If you'd like to have vertical lines seperating the messages, here you go - grab HoloMMs_v1.1.zip
Go HERE to grab all of 1Dynaty's Themed MMs apks

How to make a backup zip (return to stock)
You can make a backup a couple of ways, either make a flashable ZIP with your original APK in it, or use an application like Root Browser/Explorer to rename the original APK.
I wrote this with mms.apk as an example. However, you can use this method to make a backup of any system app...
To make a flashable backup...
1. Make of copy of the ZIP file you downloaded. Name it MMS_Orig.zip (or something similar)
2. Use Root Browser/Explorer and navigate to system/app and copy mms.apk to your SD Card. Copy mms.apk from your SD Card to your desktop.
3. Open the copied/renamed zip file. Open the system folder. Open the app folder. There, you'll find the APK.
4. Right click on the apk and pick Delete. Take your original APK and drag and drop it into the system/app folder from the zip file.
To make a back up file...
1. Use Root Browser/Explorer and navigate to system/app and select mms.apk and choose to rename it. Rename it to mms.apk.bak.
2. To return to stock, use Root Browser/Explorer and navigate to system/app and delete mms.apk and then select mms.apk.bak and choose to rename it. Rename it to mms.apk.
3. Reboot.
Backup Apps...
1. Find and use an app like Titanium Backup to back up your stuff....

Yep. AOSP hooked us up with the autosplit for his oICS ROM. I should add that to the OP...

haha I was actually planning on doing something like this,very nice and thanks

Nice. Thanks!
Edit.....up and running on beezy's AOSP 4.0.3 rom. Looks great. If its alright, I'll post a link over there.
Long days and pleasant nights............

Probably a dumb question, but will this work on CM9 alpha 18 nightly?
Thanks

Wow looks great! The send icon is a little dark tho. Also would be cool if you could make the bottom bar in messages dark like the top one. Thanks!
Edit: I also noticed the no contact picture icon in the phone app is darker. I think the white one in the mms app is a bit overpowering. Might it look better with the darker phone app icon?

Noob question(s):
So you are saying the mms.apk in oICS has auto-split built in? I am not interested in the themed colors, but I would like an auto-split stock MMS for the ROM that I am using. So can I just harvest the mms.apk from the oICS files, and then push it to my system folder and overwrite the one that is there? Is it 100% stock other than the auto-split feature? I didn't see autosplit mentioned in AOSP's OP, so I wasn't aware of it even when I was using that ROM for a few days.
Sidestory, I tried once to take stock MMS and add auto-split functionality myself by editing some values in an XML file... and it should have worked I thought, but for whatever reason it didn't. Probably something to do with me not knowing how to sign an apk. :-(

Search aosp's posts in his thread. He posted the mms.apk separate from the rom. It's not included in his last version yet. I'm using it on a Pete's rom and it works fine.
