I have been working on this for a bit, but this is just the Full on flashable zip, made for the Droid. I got three kids and not alot of time to resize every image to mdpi. plus this is coming from the a droid theme, so I'm not sure what to do with the drawable-nodpi images and other if any nopi images. anyway, i'm just asking for help, not for "I can't help you" or "Alot of work" answers. I know it's alot of work as i have driving myself crazy on how to do it. Thanks.
I tried using the theme porter to save time but it will not recognize 9.pngs and I'm pretty sure that's why it's not porting.

I have converted the hdpi to mdpi now I think. before I used the theme porter, but it kept saying system file cannot be specified. well i got the pngs converted and the folders renamed, but I don't have a hero to test it on. I use my wife's when she's here. Don't know if this will work or not.
I also need to know if the images in the framework-res are the only thing I need to change, and then I can flash that same package that was meant for the droid or if I need to transfer those over to the Hero's framework-res?

I almost positive you cant just rename folders like drawable-hdpi to draw-mdpi as theres more in the apk that specifies that the apk is built for an hdpi phone.
This is how I do it (short version cause I'm working out kinks). basically just copy over the pngs from the hdpi folders to the mdpi folders. Basically the difference in size from hdpi to mdpi is about 66% the size of an hdpi png so in the process of copying them I also shrink them. 9 patch pngs are a alot harder to get right and I currently working through some ways to port those now, but for a basic port you can just leave them as is. If you wanted to fix the 9 patch you basically have to decompile the apk and then use the 9patchDrawable tool in the android sdk and gimp to shrink them and then redraw the patch borders.
Your problem is most likely trying to rename the file folder. The port should only bring over the pngs and maybe ( i never do) some minor xml tweaks and put those in the rom your porting to you can't use anything from the ported rom except the pngs unless you want a buncha headaches.

[MOD] Need tester theme for IceCreamTosti v0.5 [AOKP_M3/4.0.3]

hey guys..
Lately everything's been slowing me down, my beloved HD2 still under repair (it's already been 5 days)
My PC is low end piece of crap, can't even run emulator properly.
Just now finnished on modding SystemUI.apk , and I need tester and feedback.
Recommended only for experienced fellow developers.
Its a apk,still not a flashable-zip(Still haven't learn to do this)
manually move to sysstem/app/
don't forget back-up original SystemUI
Nice job man, looks great. Hopefully someone will be able to assist you with this

Need tester for systemUI..
anyone??
DoctorGore said:
Hey dude. I replaced your SystemUI over mine in V0.4 of the ROM, and rebooted, yet nothing changed. I also tried installing the .apk from inside /system/app but it wouldn't yet me. What am I doing wrong?
I'm about to install V0.5 of the ROM now anyways, but it'd be cool to see an updated version with more colour options.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did u change the apk permission to rw-r-r??
If still nothing happen, let me know..
DoctorGore said:
Doesn't it come with the correct permissions it needs?
I just replaced it again, this time it 'worked', but now I have no status bar or nav bar. Tried giving it all the permissions, same thing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not really sure about that, I guess there is some problem with the mod I've made
and it does not come with set permissions as I only decompiled & recompiled the file and modded it.
Anyway thanks for the feedback.
Currently having hard time on testing out the theme without my HD2, for now will stop uploading files and just making mod with the updated ROM.
will be back after finished modding & testing with it.
my latest work for the theme are attached, but i don't know if it's working or not, I'm still new in almost everything here.
hope this time everythings went well.

update2.zip
You did everything wrong!
1) with install (you must use updater-script and update-binary in META-INF\com\google\android\)
2) With apk (Where is AndroidManifest.xml?)
3) Cant unpack apk (i need for my rom)
If you give me pictures (and changes in the code) i will help you! Wait for you response here, PM, [email protected]
p.s. You will remake Settings.apk for red icons? You draw the icons yourself? If not then tell where you take them, please
Hope you dont mind, I put your theme in a zip you can run from CWM forgot to sign them.. So sig verify off to flash. If you cant figure out what i did, or where to add more changes pm me. Dont be mad its all your work I take no credit, just put in a package I used. Both zips work with IceCreamTosti M3, v0.6, v0.7 and should work with any AOKP ICS build. If any of you try on another ICS build please confirm
Well I made another, your theme + red inside settings.apk. Again these should work on any ICS rom. They work with IceCreamToasti v0.6 for sure

Any help would be great.
At the first time I saw these thread [CLOSED] Red Sensation Final [AOKP B20/CM9 CDMA+GSM/Gummy 0.6.6]
when googling on theme. then try porting it with IceCreamTosti which you can see on the first post screenshot.
Then just thought about creating my own mod and took some nice looking icon in Sensation's and still using it with just lil mod.
credit should go to qasimzia512

this framework work on my phone but still some bug so i want to edit it. i said i asked him but he didn't answer me. so no way ?
It wont allow me to decompile and i have my android sdk up to date and ive installed the framework.
Have you added any modifications AFTER installing?
If yes, then try the unmodified version.
If no, then you will have to wait for an answer or look for a work around.
When the new ICS versions were released we had to use older/modified versions of aapt and apktool.
See if you can find any and try that. I think i used wanams modified apktool from the sgs2 theme thread.

CM12 Theme Engine works like a charm :P

So, I got it install this new theme engine for cm12 and installed some icon packs and bootanimations,
seems like everything works fine...
here's a sneak peek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR38IlYPY_I
Only bug i saw is after installation of a Icon pack , Fonts , Ringtones , Bootanimation it just freeze's (Touch screen will be unresponsive) until you reboot it, once you reboot it everything will be back to normal
can you provide the link or rom in which cm12 theme engine is working?

Yeah I saw that yesterday. But it'll be different for Lollipop and KK based ROMs, and with the new theme engine, it could work a different way (other than changing from 19 to 21) so I was waiting for a template.

VTS doesn't work with it yet, going to use the traditional way of apktool + zipalign, etc.

I got it to work. I did it using apktool and just decompiling and compiling at first, which breaks it.
Try using the VTS method: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEzP-AyZs2p-tpyu2USGFsUi5DTGw
Works wonders, except I find too many transparent "new" variables inside, keeps failing to install into Theme chooser when i remove them.
