(THEME) Blackberry Redux (WAD2 + SMS-Chat + FunContact)

This theme is based on my previous Blackberry Bold theme, but, as you can see, looks nothing like the old theme. All of the graphics come from the Storm Precision set I found on a Blackberry message board.
WAD2 Installation:
1. Drop the "Bold" and "Bold P" folders to the WAD2/Themes folders.
2. Drop the "Themes" folder into the root directory of your Storage Card.
3. To change to the theme, go to WAD2 Settings, Change Theme, Set Bold P as your Portrait theme, Bold as your Landscape.

More Pics of the WAD 2 theme.

Now some of the SMS-Chat.
Installation
1. Drop "Black" and "Black_Alert" files into Vito/Sms-Chat/Skins/Bin folder.
2. Restart SMS-Chat.

And finally, FunContact (Not 100% complete, but all the basics are there.)
Installation
1. Drop "black_parts" file into Vito\FunContact\Skins\Bin folder.
2. Restart FunContact

Did you mean to post this in Dev and Hacking forum instead?
Nice theme btw...

Yes, I did. Didn't even notice I'd switched forums.

Thank you, sir.

what version of sms chat are you using. Its important to say what version cause they add graphics in newer versions and im running sms-chat v1.05 and these graphics mess the look up. Nice work though.

hey this version runs the best on my device so i don't complain about using an older version it does what i need it to do and so far with no bugs. I have tried newer versions and they bug out on my phone.

A couple of requests:
1. Any way to make the bluetooth icon a little more finger-friendly?
2. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but when I choose the vibrate option from the phone, the picture of the phone in the left hard corner disappears.
3. Anyway to get the Contacts skin for iContact Burt Edition?
4. Anyway to get a matching dialer skin?
Thanks, great theme.

Hey oscarbum Can you guide me how to change the skin file please...

On which program?

Great Skin in here I just happen to discover. I'm using Sms Chat 1.25 and I had to redo a little bit the layout in photoshop to make it work. But the problem I seem to have is concerning the gradients. Sms Chat seem to apply a transparency on it and the type of gradient you used for the skin bars is creating artefacts. Any ideas?
here's two screenshots...
I you need the new files for sms chat 1.25 just tell me, I'll sent it to you
thanks

look nice, i will try...thanks

The problem is with VITO's forced transparency on some of their graphics. Happens with Fun Contact also and with most of the Winterface themes I built. Not sure how to get around it.

You're right, that's what I figured, playing around with the theme. And the thing is it's quite difficult to know exactly the conditions to create a clean bmp with vito's specs. That's a bit of a shame, since their original black skin has gradient as well and does work well. And as you say, it's the same with funcontact.
When looking for some Winterface themes, someone managed to create skin files (not just replacing the bmps) by editing the hex code of the theme.skin file. It was easy to find the declaration of the bmp files needed to make a custom skin and I think, somehow it might be possible to find a transparency parameter in this file.

[WAD2 Theme] Angularz - WVGA

Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!

This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.

it's just WOW!!

Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.

thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.

hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.

how do you get out of author mode

taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx

here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.

Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark

Looks great !!!

wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~

DOOD JOB!!

Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...

Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.

Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!

good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?

I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.

Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.

Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.

Themed Cyanogen 6.1.1 ROM - Dark/Black

I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute

Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!

but I really like how you made your theme dark n stuff its very nice , if you could make this into a metamorph theme it would be greatly appreciated, but if not its really no problem.

This is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing.

Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?
Im reeeeeallllyyy liking it

What do you mean 'only' the settings menu? You want a different menu theme or something?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798

I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.

I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?

The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .

Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.

Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.

Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.

This is why I don't decompile/recompile apps lol.
I know this may not be so helpful now, but for the future just extract the drawable-hdpi folder from the .apk, edit what you need, then place the drawable-hdpi folder back in the .apk. You'll need 7zip though (or WinRAR, but I suggest 7zip)

do what acer said. just use 7zip (free) and Open the OLD (unedited) .apk archive. Then take all your decompiled png files and drag them into the open (compiled) .apk archive. Your images will overwrite all the existing ones. then just back out of the .apk file and it will be fully compiled and include your custom images and WORK.

i thought you had to decompile to get the .9's to work right? But anyway i got it workin!!! decompile - edit .9 - put new .9 in compiled apk

yeeeaa boyeee so where is it!?

Can someone post screen shots plzz

less than a day away
Typing up thread i gotta got alot of info & thanx to put 2gether along with screenshots, special instructions, & add on's

This theme is more than epic. Lots of cool things. Animated pull downs, themed apk. If you are a fan of the red and black combination, look no further. This theme has it all. Red and black transparent:
gmail
google talk
google search bar
pandora
market
Phone
Facebook
Messaging
Contact
On the non transparent side of things you have
Moded Calculator
Calendar
Swype looks awesome. (when button is pressed it looks like its breaking glass)
Internet search bar is red and black
Music player
Settings
The animated pull down is a surprise for you juggalo/lettes out there. Muggy picked this theme up when I didnt think anyone else would. For that, I thank him.
Basically what Im getting at is that greenmuggy worked his a** off making this theme. If there are any Juggalos/lettes out there looking for a theme to suit you; this is it. Custom ringtones are an included. So please give some love to greenmuggy. If I happened to have fortgotten anything Im sure Greenmuggy will straighten it out.

[TOOLS] SystemUI Editor

Hi guys,
This is a very early release of my new tool "SystemUI Editor". It basically lets you edit the images inside a SystemUI.apk package to allow skinning the status bar etc for tablets.
This release is far from finished, but is functional.
Download from filetrip.net/f26366-SystemUI-Editor-0-1.html
(I can't post links yet).
Current Features
Expect many more features as I add to the known files list.
Edit the navigation status bar buttons (back, home, menu, tasks etc).
Change the clock font. (Not updating, needs testing)
Edit a few other images (just added for testing at present).
Customisable Files.xml list so you can add files manually that I have yet to add.
Guide
Copy your SystemUI.apk from your /system/app directory to somewhere local.
Open it in SystemUI Editor.
Choose an item from the tree view and alter as necessary.
Save the SystemUI file.
Copy it back into /system/app.
The UI will crash, so just manually reboot the table (hold power down for 5 seconds or so until it turns off, then turn it back on).
Enjoy
Notes
This is currently a windows program. When it is further in development I will create a Mac OS X version if there is enough demand.
You need root to be able to replace the SystemUI file.
I intend, in the near future, to finish the files list and add previews. Any other ideas are encouraged.
I've mainly released this program so early to test out any problems on different tablets, develop the Files.XML file and get any feedback / ideas on further development.
If anyone would like to help me finish the Files.xml file, that would be a massive help, as I can get on with adding new features instead.

This looks like a really cool tool, going to give it a shot when I've got some more time.

Very good tool I recommend.

Great tool. I think that it would be nice to be able to edit framework-res.apk too. Just for full theming, as battery icons are still in framework.

Good idea. I'm heavily developing this right now, and I decided to expand outside of only editing the SystemUI file.
I'll hopefully get an update out in the next few days.

@StormwaveUK, is this just used for tablets or I can use it for fones? Anyway, great tool

This looks good - anxious to try editing the stock 4g icons out of CM7 themes where they are untouched.
Thanks.

Subscribed, looking forward to trying this out.

Great tool. I think that it would be nice to be able to edit framework-res.apk too. Just for full theming, as battery icons are still in framework.

Did anyone get this to work? I keep getting an "unhandled exception" error whenever I try to open up a systemUI image in the editor.

Yep, same here. The problem is kind of easy to fix, though. In files.xml, you can specify the image mapping. It seems that everything is hardcoded for a specific device.
Most phones with large screens don't have "drawable-mdpi" but "drawable-hdpi" for example. And the same may apply to image names.

After installing a theme where are the files save.. where does it pull from? Like normally my phone would pull the circle mod battery from drawable-xhdpi under systemUI.. where is everything after installing the theme... reason being I want to cherry pick things from the theme and make them default... thanks
