[Theme][MetaMorph] GetWood v1.6.3 - Updated for cm 4.2.13 - 20100120

This theme was inspired by the excellent kspec-oreo by brandenk.
It took much from that as a starting point.
Remember to check the ChangeLog post (below) for known issues etc...
Other themes I borrowed from:
Fallout 3 by jairomeo
blue by pcmaniacs
Transparency pack posted by djengizz
Deep Black by kron2
Reasons I say this is for cm:
It includes the following files modified from that source:
Launcher/res/layout/widget_search.xml
framework-res/res/drawable/progress_horizontal.xml
framework-res/res/layout/status_bar.xml
It may rely upon some of the stock images in cm

v1.5:
Updated for cm 4.2.9.1
Music and Power widget changes
v1.4:

Bugs/Known issues:
I'm not sure if I like the indicators on the power widget. I may have to do some xml edits and get rid of them. See the last row of screenshots for example.
TODO:
See if i can successfully skin HTC_IME.apk solved: this needs to be re-zipped up with no compression havent tried it via metamorph yet
Work on power widget icons/indicators
Find a nice redistributable font similar to AvantGarde, Futura etc (maybe URW GothicL)
Figure out how to make the app drawer background transparent without the "ghosting" etc on scroll
Figure out how to make the live folder contacts background stay transparent when scrolling

i love your taste in music :] and the theme looks really sexy too!

Hey there, I didnt get this problem, but I just had a look at the zip and there was some cruft left over in it (older .thm files) so I have uploaded an updated zip.
Let me know if it works for you!
Also are you running the latest MetaMorph.apk ? Maybe thats why I didn't get any issues and missed this.... (I'm using the market version 1.8.1)

Nice and clean theme. Nice job

Where can I get the background??

The problem is one of your files, doesn't have the .thm extension its thm ... which is why its getting that error.

Hi,
I just checked the current linked downloads and the current 1.6 and 1.4 downloads seem to be okay. ...I did update the original 1.6 file to fix that problem with the .thm file

Hi,
I think it is in the included in the metamorph as:
framework-res/res/drawable/default_wallpaper.jpg
I havent actually checked if that means its visible in "wallpapers"

I got that error too. So after it unzipped I selected existing theme and the .thm file was there, I applied all and it looks like it is missing some pieces, especially the top where battery/notifications/etc are. It is supposed to be black up there and it was gray.

i made a flashable update.zip for you that you can flash straight from your recovery over your current rom. it includes both the LatineIME.apk and VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk which are both themed to the same color to match the Darkstar type theme you have (black with green highlights). Both were taken from SuperBad1.2.1 and functioned properly for me so they should work fine for you. Hope it works. Good luck .
http://www.4shared.com/file/B1EcEVwZ/LatineIME_and_SpeechIME.html

hell yea good lookin bro. u saved my life. lol

ok bro i tried it and i got a boot loop. but i remade it for test and my new issue is a forceclose message about the phone. it says something like. force close com.android.phone.... something like that. wut do i do wrong.
i use 7zip and i copy all files from the darkstar theme over to the test6 rom then re sign. i delete the file from the cm5 rom and replace with the same file from the theme. i havent seen any files that had more than the other of the same name. so i fugured it was cool to delete old and copy new folder over. help me out if u hear a mistake in what i jus said thanks in advance.

what you should have done was keep your original rom the way it was so that it was fully working. then since my flashable zip gave you a boot loop, all you had to do was open up my .zip and open up your themed rom. go to your system/app folder and open that up and you will see LatinIME.apk etc in there. Don't delete anything. Just drag over the LatineIME.apk from my .zip and the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk from my .zip and place both those files into the system/app folder. then resign your themed rom and give it a go. Don't ever delete whole folders or replace whole folders because you can screw with certain xml's that don't function in one rom that may in another due to kernel changes etc.
also you don't NEED the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk, but i just threw that in there in case you wanted to use it since it's much more useful on an eclair rom being able to talk your text messages while doing things etc.

1) for the font:
ok so when you alter it, remember you have to take your font and if it has a bold and regular font, rename the bold one to DroidSans-Bold.ttf and the regular one DroidSans.ttf. if it does not have a bold font option, then just make two copies of your font and rename each to the ones i just mentioned above. then you have to open up your themed rom, go to system/fonts/ and drop both of those new fonts into this folder and then sign your themed rom again.
2) for the browser:
i'm not 100% sure because he changed the META-INF folder where the update script used to be located. now it is called updater-script and update-binary. before you could just edit the update script and add the line
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
and include a data/app folder where you could have placed dolphin browser's apk. however, the new updater-script looks a bit funky so i'm not entirely sure. i wouldnt mess with it if i were you. alot of people don't prefer dolphin browser anyway. and its easy to just download it from teh market and go into dolphin browser's settings and make it your default browser. i prefer Opera Mini browser since it renders pages fast. but i guess, if you really wanted to, you could change it to Browser.apk and just drag and drop it into your themed rom and test it. if not, just drag the original CM Browser.apk back and that's that.

im takin your advice and i will not alter the browser. but oh yea opera mini 5 is the best out there. i jus like the look of dolphin HD browser. but im skippin the test6 and ill be posting test7. this one boots perfectly and gives me no issues it just does not have the blackxeth, darkstar theme integrated.

good deal. yeah i've seen the HD one, and it looks pretty hot. haven't tested it myself, but have seen a few videos on it. do whatever floats your boat since this is your themed rom. as always, feel free to ask questions. good luck broheem .

[Q] [SOLVED] [THEMING HELP] GenieWidget.apk/Power Control Widget

I'm having some problems theming it. I want it to be like the one from BlackMod so I've extracted the one from BlackMod and put it in my theme so it should work now right? But it didn't it just showed the widget but not with the correct bagground etc. Then I took the GenieWidget.apk from the original ROM and themed it plus some pngs that is also in it. Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but it's still not working :/ This is what the widget currently looks like BTW:

bro, did you sign it after you modded it to ur liking? from your first picture i just see the .9 borders, which are not supposed to be there after you run it through a compiler like Eclipse.

As it is a system apk it does not need to be signed. The borders are because of decompiling and I did recompile again afterwards. Also it does work but it doesn't have the correct layout. That's the issue

send me your images that you want for this geniewidget and power control and ill edit and sign it for you and then upload the apk. or if you want, i can create an update.zip like i did for this fellow in the Post Your Home Screen thread. let me know, i'm always happy to help.

I appreciate that but that is not the problem. The problem is that I have themed it (all pngs that needs theming) but it still stays as the matte Power Control Widget. I ask because someone might know if there are some other pngs in some other apks or if I have to edit some XML files or something. I have already created 2 themes so I know how it works (signing, update.zip etc.)

hm, assuming you know that power control widget is in the settings.apk and have edited that, my only other suggestion would be to check the framework because i do not know of any other place where they could be. however, from my experience, i find it always best to edit your apk within your theme (the actual .zip) and then sign that whole .zip if you want to avoid any issues. just my two cents for you. if the xml is stock, there should be no issues as to what is governing the correct .9.png. anyway, good luck .

Hehe it's for the Facebook app I took a themed version for some ROM I can't remember but it wasn't fully themed so I themed the rest myself and of course a lot of the 9 pngs was "broken" from the other themer so I need a totally transparent 9 png for the top thing (appwidget_top_white.9.png). Whenever I do it I just get an alpha error. I've attached the Facebook.apk (the original themed version not the one I themed) if you need more details
Thanks in advance I'll be sure to include you in the release notes hehe

ok sure no problem man. ive attached a fully transparent .9.png with that name. if you want to use it for other pngs, just make copies of the one i attached and rename it to whatever name you choose. good luck . it's there but you can't see it since it's totally transparent. to download it, just right click in the left corner or a little towards the middle of the left corner until you get the option to save image.

If you want to make it into an update.zip, I think more people would be able to try it. For some reason, the new SU doesn't play nice with metamorph on our phones

yes, i think it also...but i don'tknow hoe to make the update.zip!!!!

installed nice and quick, but upon start up launcher pro fc'd. No custom icons either. Same with the system font. Only thing thats really different is the notifications bar. Used the update.zip method.

I tested this on mine and worked fine and about custom icons and custom fonts those aren't included on the metamorph theme he posted is just the notification bar, notifications icons and pulldown bar btw mediaprovider.apk is just an icon that scan media is not a launchable app so don't know what you mean.

[MOD] (Semi-)Transparent status bar for CM7 (only 2.3.7)

As the Mod from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12815653) to make the statusbar transparent in CM7 is outdated, and users kept asking for an update, I decided to make it
VERY important: not all launchers handle this mod the same way!
In order to make it work, please note that:
ADWLauncher: works after unchecking "System Preferences" > "Wallpaper hack";
LauncherPro: works only with live wallpapers or with normal wallpapers, but you have to hide notification bar on "Appearance Settings" in LauncherPro.
Stock GB launcher: works, no issues.
Go Launcher EX: as LauncherPro users.​

Hey sigurd_LU, any chance of making a 20% transparency mod?
Thanks!

Very kind of you to update this for all the plebs!
I can't get it to work with BlackIce 1.23 and Go Launcher though, unfortunately. It gives me a force-close every time.
By the way, Go launcher's menu selections are not the same as LauncherPro's...

I think although BlackIce is based on CM, the differences are big and this mod isn't compatible. Even if it wouldn't force-close: this replaces the whole SystemUI.apk which contains the status bar icons for example, so the whole BlackIce look would be changed as well.

Hm.. I used CM 7.1.0 as the base, looks like they changed something in the newest nightlies that conflicts with this mod.

Thx for this.
Flashed it (100% Transparency) via CWM and it work`s instant.
DHD - CM7 Stable - ADW Launcher EX, no config changes need.

Yeah, that's fair enough mate.
Thanks for the info!

Thanks man. Great job!

Umm, could you maybe give a few hints about how one has to do it, please? I'd like to try to get it on my SGS2. Thank you in advance!
edit: I mean, how do I have to modify *my* SystemUI.apk?

Thanks for the update. Nice work.

I don't know if it's exactly the same for your SystemUI, but here's how I've done it.
After decompiling the SystemUI.apk, go to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar and open StatusBarService.smali with a text editor, for example Notepad++. Don't use the windows editor, it has problems with unix!
Search for const/4 v5, 0x2 and change it to const/4 v5, -0x3.
Then, go to res\drawable-hdpi and search for the following file: statusbar_background.9.png and edit it with Paint.NET, Photoshop or another programm that can handle transparency.
Here's for example my png for 50% transparency:
It looks solid here, but it's transparent, as you can see here:
Recompile afterwards, and you're done

Thanks, I'll try to do that this afternoon! I'll post back if it works.

Ok, the good news is it doesn't FC, but it's not transparent either. Sadly :-( If you have any more ideas, I'm all ears.
Well, either way, thank you very much for your time.

What launcher are you using? Maybe you forgot the specific settings, as stated in the first post.

Nah, I double checked with several launchers (ADW, Go, LauncherPro). :-/
Here's a quick screenshot of the edits:
The edge of the .png looked a little different from yours, if you are wondering why it's not identical to yours. I'm really confused that it doesn't do *anything* at all.

Your edits look good to me.
Maybe something went wrong while flashing..?

I did it manually, once over adb and once over ssh. Android is definitely using the modified file, the old one is in the same folder as SystemUI.apk.old and has a slightly different size. I'm on CM7.1 nightly (2.3.7), would that be a problem? There's (afaik) no stable for the SGS2 yet.
Maybe I did the (de)compiling wrong? Put SystemUI.apk in the appropriate folder, start batch script, select decompile. Go to extracted files and edit as seen above. Then restart the batch script and recompile. Say yes to "system apk?" and yes to "copy back as much as possible?" (or whatever it asked exactly, it certainly asked two things and I said yes to both^^).

This could be the problem! Say yes to the first question and no when it asks to copy over old files.
Hopefully it'll work now.
