Transparent Gingerbread Launcher for Pete's GPA Rom - Nexus S Themes and Apps

I created a transparent Gingerbread launcher2 for my own use on Pete's GPA Rom and thought others might like it as well. I was inspired by the CM7DarkLauncher by MyPaT and while it worked on Pete's Rom, it lacked the tweaks and quickness of the modified app drawer by Pete. Make a backup before flashing in case a problem arises and let me know if anyone has any problems as this has only been tested with the latest nightly of Pete's Rom 9/29 so it may or may not work with other roms, just flash through recovery and enjoy. I've also included a file which reverts the launcher to the one included in the nightly 9/29 (which I haven't tested but should work).
Again, I want to thank MyPaT for the idea as well as for the update script which I stole (I believe the script removes ADW if you have it so just a heads up, I didn't know how to make my own), and of course Pete for the amazing rom.

Flashing now bbl
Edit thanks
Edit2 worked on rooted stock 237

I come from a distant world known as the HTC Vision/Desire Z threads, I've been looking for a stock launcher that is modded exactly like this, my question is, will it work on another device?

Rogers Phones and Themes

Hey guys so ive got one of the Rogers dream phones,.I was wondering if it is possible to flash one of the themes (meteamorph)? The reason I ask is that these phones are EBI1 not EBI0 like the tmobile ones.
Being ebi1 makes it so that not everything is compatible, an example of this is the cyanogen rom, it is not compatible with out a special kernel for our phones.
Once again, are the metamorphosis themes compatible with our ebi1 phones?
I am in the exact same boat lol my provider is fido and I use the latest cyanogen on my rooted ebi1 rogers dream I jus thought that this was a funny coincidence oh and obviously I'm in canada ps . I reall would like it if brian the god who makes our cyanogen port files, ported the 10mb ram hack
Themes are all good. I've used the ones from the cm updater with no issues. I also tried some meteamorphs a while ago with no issues. I think there is an issue with meteamorph on the latest cyanogen thoe. not 100% sure
To the first poster, yeah that would be great because we can't get dwangs fast rom on ebi1. Do you know if anyone has asked him to port it?

Where can I get cm updater from? I didn't find it on the market. And am I correct in thinking that the cm updater does more than just update cyanogen roms?
EDIT ive found it and see that it can update the cm aswell as use themes. I still need an answer to my post after this one.
I am wondering if it is safe to use cm updater to update our phones because we require the special kernal to use cm. Do we need to apply a kernal everytime, does it do it for us, or do we do it ourselves. (This is regarding updating the cm itself not the theme)
Hey guys, so I am still waiting for a response regarding my above post but in addition I would like to say that I now have a theme using cm updater. I downloased the first one in the recommened list. I was wondering what the difference between advance and regular launcher. There where two options for this theme one with regular other with advanced. I chose regular because I don't know what a lanucher is.
i have heard that people have asked him but he hasnet responded with a definitive answer

You just need to add the bcrook Kernel as a theme. Follow the directions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592377
To Update:
1. Themes > Menu > Check Now
2. Select the newest bc-ebi1 file from the theme section
3. Click on it and download it, choose Apply Later when finished.
4. Download the newest Cyanogen ROM from the ROM section. Choose Apply Now.
This will reboot to recovery and flash the newest cyanogenmod. Then apply the previously downloaded port file.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the link andanswer, that will come in handy.
Another question I have is what's the difference between advanced and regular launcher?
You can look at the thread for advanced laucher and see the differences. Folders, change the number of home screens and more.
hmm i have a rogers dream and ive never had problems with themes, cm updater or anything. also ive never had to install any "special" kernel for any rom ive put on my phone.
im pretty sure i used the "rogers one touch root" guide in the dev forum when i originally rooted my phone.
is there a difference between the old and new rogers dreams? or are all this ebi1??
I use the enoch theme and it works great and looks even better. I think that most roms don't touch the kernel so they should be fine.

There is a difference but it isn't with the radio (ebi1 vs ebi0) its with the spl. It just requires the one click root to get around. You must have used haykuro's method to root which switches your radio to EBI0 making it compatible with any rom for the G1.

ahh makes sense, i used haykuro's method. thanks for the clarification.
hey i am using the binary something theme. When on the old Cyanogen rom it had the same theme but with the lockscreen, when updating to the latest CM rom i dont see the lock screen version anymore. (i am using CM updater)
Ok so I am now using the enoch theme, I like the blue accent and the transparent design to show more background. One thing that I miss is the lock screen, CM updater doesn't show any option for installing a enoch lockscreen. Is there any way to get a lockscreen? Also can I use any lockscreen even if it is not enoch? (Cm updater shows no lockscreens anyway)
Does the latest CM rom 12.2 not support any lockscreens yet? Or do I just need to add more sorces for themes in cm updater? If so could someone guide me into doing that.
could someone please answer as to can I use any lockscreen? and how can i get this done with cm updater?

Are there any Mods that work on Stock ROM?

I have a rooted Nexus One 2.2 and I really wanted to keep my stock ROM (there are always issues with cooked ROMs regardless of how well they are prepared) but I also want to be able to morph/mod my device a bit.
As you may tell I'm a bit of a noob so I'm just wondering if this is possible without flashing a custom ROM?
What would you like to change?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You say that regarding cooked roms, but the same can be said with any of the "mods" you want to use. Everyone is different, even you stock rom may not be immune to "stock" or the most basic mods. But I get what you are talking about.
You can use setcpu to oc your processor. There are a bunch of metamorphs you can use to customize your phone as well. They even have a circle battery mod that you can use WITHOUT being rooted. Only thing is, that mod does not overwrite or replace anything. It's an addition to he existing features.
Not to say all mods are worthless, being a CM6 user for a while and then going through eVil D's sense files and now Rod's MIUI files are welcome additions to people like me who like a lil spice in their daily flashes lol.

If your looking for aesthetics then I'd suggest using a launcher like adw or launcher pro... And you can only underclock without a different kernel.

Simple to do. I use the stock FRG83 ROM myself with these exact changes. First thing you need to do is get a deodexed version of the ROM. I use the one found here by Geo411m: Completely Stock Deodexed with busybox
I then went out and found all the images that I liked from various other ROMs and themes and made my own update zip file using Geo411m's FRG83 Blackbar Add-on v1.2 addon as the base.
Just take a day or so and learn how the themes work and that the framework-res.apk file can be modified using winrar or winzip and then you should be on your way.

[CM6][Theme][Edify]Gingerbread theme for cyanogenmod

Ok, this is the deal, READ THE THINGS IN RED.
THIS THEME IS NOT MINE. ORIGINAL, NON-EDIFY THREAD HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867850 - This is for Evo but works on Epic.
I TRIED MAKE THIS EDIFY MYSELF BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I FOUND THIS THEME ON GOOGLE AND DON'T KNOW WHO MADE IT EDIFY.
YOU NEED TO BE ON CYANOGENMOD FOR THIS THEME. THERE IS ANOTHER ONE FOR OTHER ROMS.
This will work with cwm 2 and 3.
Anyways, enjoy http://www.multiupload.com/YCKVXWZTHI
This gave me a boot loop, unfortunately.
Edit: Tried again after restoring Nandroid, working fine now for whatever reason. Very good theme.
I personally don't recommend this theme and advise everyone to stay away from flashing this, I can confirm that it caused issues for myself and may cause even more unforeseen problems as our CM6.2 ROM develops.
Wait for a proper CM6.2 Gingerbread theme or stick with DK28 and the Gingerbread theme for DK28.

[Q] looking for stock froyo debloated

im looking for a superclean froyo rom.. stock froyo debinged debloated zipaligned deodexed..
these are easy to find on fascinate forums. but im having difficulty finding them in your forums as there are so many custom roms..
mods please stop closing my threads. this is a valid question. i have a rom chart from my last thread (closed) but they all look like custom roms to me.
what is your stock froyo rom called? ex ours in fascinate are called things like (eb01)
KB1
But you probably won't find anyone with a debloated zipaligned deoxeded version, it's still crap without all the fixes from the custom roms.
Cognition 4.x was close to stock Froyo, but it has since gone custom crazy. Andromeda 1.2 is based on a stock Captivate ROM for the Armani version and while it has some nice tweaks, it is still pretty close in appearance and function to stock, but without all the bloat.

i second the Andromeda 1.2 vote. It is running flawlessly on my cappy, and is what the stock install should have been like (you get the bonus of a georgio armani splash on boot)

It was a limited version of the Captivate designed for Georgio Armani. Electronically, it is the same as our Captivate in every way. Software-wise, it has a customized version of Froyo with some Armani touches like the bootscreen and system font. Andromeda simply removes the carrier bloat and adds performance enhancements like Voodoo lagfix, working GPS and some other nice touches. It runs flawlessly on my Captivate.
For lite and quick, I've always relied on Andromeda or Paragon RC6.
As for just a stock 2.2 without the bloatware, I've never actually seen any.

includes bloat, but also includes titanium backup and root for you to remove yourself
Thanks Piratghost, I've favourited that. It'll be handy to have!
Why don't you just do it yourself?
Root
Use titanium backup to remove the aps you don't want
Follow the how-to and deodex
I am not sure about zip aligning, but I know you can so everything else pretty easily.

PG. Is that .zip flashable with CWM?
Yes it is.
Andromeda is 100% flawless. You could flash cognition 4.2.1 non OC. pretty much stock with a few bonuses

Ok just to try something, I flashed the zip PG posted. Everything went smooth. The only extra thing I had to do was use super one click to enable non market apps.
One tip I learned: if you use ti backup to remove unwanted apps before resorting, you will save yourself a lot of extra scrolling!
Btw, I am now running at&t 2.2 rooted, sideloading enabled, CWM, voodoo lagfix, matted blue theamed, plumb bob gps fixed, with 6 unlock screens, extended power menu, H (hsdpa) icon, and blackout gingerbread live wallpaper.

I think I an explaining this correctly, enabling sideloading allows you to install apps from sources other than the market. Ie: you can DL an apk right to your phone and install it.

CM9 Theme Manager for Stock ICS

Ive looking around multiple threads and forums and I cant seem to find how to add the CM9 Theme Manager to Stock ICS 4.0.4?
Does anyone know how to add just the CM9 Theme Manager to Stock ICS? I never liked CM9 or CM10 so I decided to build myself a custom ROM that fits my needs. Im already running it, but I wanted to maybe add a theme to it but stay on Stock ICS.
If anyone has a solution please let me know
Why still ICS?

It's just not the app, you'll need to make framework and app changes to make them theme-able by CM theme manager. Not just "building" by throwing stuff in a zip but rather compiling and picking what you want from CM sources.
I dont know why, but I love ICS. and oh alright thanks! So how would I go about recompiling the source to make Stock ICS use the CM9 Theme Manager:?
Never seen a rom aosp "stock" , with theme mgr or chooser in it. Try a cm based rom or aokp. Codename android was great.
