[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.
Post comments/screenshot/feedback/praise/abuse here or on the blog.

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.

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!

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]

New revision added to op

Custom Splash Screens + Requests

Solar's Splash Screen Thread
I will be creating and uploading splash screens for use on our Thunderbolts. They are going to be generally simplistic as that is my personal taste but...
I am also taking requests:
Simply link an image here (Cropped or not - I can crop it if needed) and I will do the rest. Yes, it is an easy task but some people would rather have others do it for them and it will give me something to do
For best results use images that are 480 by 800 pixels or bigger. If it IS smaller than those dimensions I will either need to stretch the picture out or center it which in either case wouldn't look great.
The only way I will even bother with images smaller than those dimensions is if the background is white and it will look good centered. I am doing this to keep the quality of these splash screens up.
PM NOTIFICATIONS
From now on, as soon as your splash screen is uploaded and added to the thread I will send you a PM so that you can come and download it. That way, you don't have to keep checking back to see if it's done or not. If you DO NOT want me to send you a PM and would rather check the post yourself, at the end of your request just say 'NO PM' and you won't receive one.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (As per Rom-Addict's Thread)
- Rename to PG05IMG.zip
- Place on root of sd card(not in a folder)
- Boot into boot-loader
- You will see:
- 'Update splash'
- Select yes update splash
- Wait... When done:
- Select reboot

Alright got the first one done.
The other 2 are a bit small for a splash screen and won't come out that good as they will either be stretched or have weird white borders on them. I edited the OP to mention the size they need to be in order for them to turn out well.
I was able to do the Soul Eater one as it already had a white background and looked good centered.

Ahh. Didnt know that about being too small. I'll see if i can find some larger ones after work, but thanx for doing the one.

Droid3 blurhome2 rotate to landscape mode

Rotating blurhome2.apk without having to slide out your keyboard "I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone flash at your own risk"
Works on Deodexed Stock"using it myself" and any blur based roms that has it blurhome2 already installed
1.have a extra launcher installed just in case,
2.get this app moto home fix via market by nighshadelab, its free
3.flash via cwr or safestrap
If you have issues with things on your homescreen getting replaced or having more on there or things getting deleted on the homescreen / go to settings/manage apps/ all apps/ and go to homescreen and clear data from it that fixes it

thanks for posting this, forgot about this edit, had it enabled on blur launcher for dX before picking up the d3. it is a sensitive hack for sure; i tried incorporating it into my personal custom safestrap rom and it wouldn't boot past the bootanimation, had to boot with stock blur launcher first, then go back and install this afterward.

[Bootanimation] Texas Tech University

This is my first boot animation I made. I used some wallpaper and a 3D can to make this animation using mostly photoshop. The text was added onto the wallpaper and then wraped around the can. Then I made the can spin and exported the animation into JPG files. I know everybody has their own favorite American college football team so here is mine.
Do not try to flash this. Use root explorer to place this zip file in your boot animaion folder.
I am not responsible if you break your phone.

Nice one. Man.

Make sure all images are in RGB from begining to end. If they are not just open and save in RGB. Photoshop tends to want to save everything in sRGB.
