[Q] Custom theme CM9 OB - LG Optimus Black

Hi everyone !
I made some research about making custom theme for CM9 (and it's supposed to be compatible with CM10)
I have some question:
1. Is every themes compatibles with every phones with CM9 ?
- If not, what kind of custom change OB need for a good theme ?
2. What is the best theme template you have used ?
3. Do you know a good way to test the theme without updating in on your phone every time ?
Thanks ! :fingers-crossed:
Edit : OOPS ! Sorry guys, i made a mistake i'm moving my post to the good forum. Sorry again.

[Q] Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen

hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on what am about to ask.
i have just cooked up a rom on Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen,XWJS7_Wipe-v9_8_1, with most of all aps,all is working fine,plus installed 1 of Generation X Themes CY with boot,all good.
my question is,is there a way to put the 5 lock screens which i did have with darkys 9.3 final ?
if so how would some one like myself go about doing this,would it be a simple apk install for lock screens.
really sorry if this has been asked before,but could not find anything about it.plus i couldnt post in the dev part as not got over 10 posts
i dont like to spam and prefer to do some reading,which really does help.really starting to understand the android,first 1 loads of fun so far.plus a few tense moments aswell
thankyou for all the time you guys make the phone as cool as can be.
I'm pretty sure that's theme related. I guess if you changed your theme to the one from darky's rom you would get your 5 lockscreens back.
As to how: I have no Idea, there's probably a description in the design and themes section.
good luck
Download the Stockmod plus theme, it's basically just the lock screens and tyhe extended power menu, it works fine with docs rom, I'm running it myself.
edit. I just re-read your post and you already have a theme, this one woudl replace that.
I use it and just apply my own settings with launcherpro to make my dersktop look nice.
yeah theme is installed and i have 4 unlock screens,but would like to get that 5th 1,rotary i believe.
Small update to what i have tried to do.
1 found the keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock_land.xml in other themes.
2 copied them over to the Generation_X_v2.0CY_JPUXY_JS3_NOBOOT.zip
3 flashed in cwm but didnt work
never mind
You need to flash a theme which has it built in. I know black android does and it works great with a cooked rom.
Looks awesome too.
since I'm a bit of a themer and I did my custom theme by myself,
I'll tell you how (and where) to learn:

Tangerine and spectrum both do!

[Q] Iphone/Ipod Theme Porting

Hi I kinda got some help with the themes and I read about the guide written about theming which was great! I have a few questions that need to be answered if someone wouldn't mind helping Help please all you themers
1. Is theming easier for Cyanogenmod or Miui? (Cause I heard Cyanogenmod is relativity new to themes right?)
2. Does anyone know how to convert a iphone lockscreen that was made out of Java and css to android? (Ex. is this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4yhjPwsrX4
3. Does the noobie guide refers to Cyanogenmod themeing or Miui theming?
4. Would anyone that has ported Iphone themes before, would mind helping along the way if she/he wouldn't mind
Sorry mods, I posted my questions in the general themes section before but no responses besides one Thank you for reading
Any help anyone
Any themers out there??
Someone help please
I've tried both CyanogenMod and miui theme editing for my own use and find miui far easier, mainly because the theme isn't an APK and doesn't require signing.

(GUIDE) How to port roms!

As the title speaks, here is a guide on porting roms.
For porting roms from fit,
1.download the rom (obviously)
2.Extract the rom through winrar
3.Go to system folder
4.Go to system/lib/modules. Delete everything there and replace with the ones for our device.
5.Then go to system/lib/hw. delete everything there and replace with yours.
( The "/hw" directory as you can see contains the files which control the sensors and lights such as GPS and the accelerometer. )
6. Then for the soft keys and hard keys to work, go to system/usr/keychars and system/usr/keylayout and replace with yours
7. Now go to system/etc. Then delete these items and replace with the ones meant for our device.
- vold.fstab
- /wifi
- /ppp
If u are porting cm7 from fit, use the boot.img of any cm7 rom here. eg. Mebitek's cm7 boot.img .
For ace,
Do the above things , then resize framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and other apk's like dialertabactivity.apk, phone.apk!
For other devices, (other manufacturers)
(Eg. HTC when porting cm7)
Extract the cm7 meant for our rom. Then delete app and framework folder. Then go to the rom u wanna port. Copy framework and app folder. And paste it in the cm7 made for our device.
For porting kernels,
unpack the boot.img of the rom u wanna port. Open init.rc and copy the things after bootpath.
repack ur ramdisk!
For camera to work on the ported roms, replace these wid urs,
libarccamera.so
libcamera.so
libcameraservice.so
libcamera_client.so
libCaMotion.so
liboemcamera.so
libseccamera.so
libseccameraadaptor.so
And plz dont spam the development section with ports
Use it for your personal use!
Enjoy Porting!

Yeah most roms are noob friendly to port except the ones which are device specific..
yup like ldpi to ldpi
but mdpi to ldpi is in the most things really hard to port
and so on, i use my own method of porting roms ;-)
Most ports of me are mdpi to ldpi
and i know also how to fix bugs :´D
So for newbies stay out of dev sections with ports from devices you dont have
or dont know how to fix real bugs ,-)

Correction:
Every developer was newb when starting, not a n00b.
n00b are those users that claim to have knowledge about a specific subject without really having a clue, causing confusion amongst regular members and making it difficult for developers to actually develop..
newb would be a user that knows his lack of knowledge, therefore making it easier to learn .....
Developers threads are for everyone, to develop and learn to develop. To cause obstruction of that "development" is what hurts our forums. So, in short
If you have something to contribute, please do it, and do it accordingly, trying to provide logs and specific issues in order for them to be approached.
If you have nothing to contribute, then....read.

ZeusTweaker is only a interface, so the ROM base is Zeus ROM in order to get working.
AFAIK nobody had asked me for permission to use the ROM as a base for another ROM.
The person who wants to publish a new ROM based mostly on my ROM do not have my permission. He must do if he wants a modification patch to flash over my ROM and modify it.

Please this permission to use your modifications in the Zeus rom Tweaker v5.1HtcsenseS Ravenous , Zeus Tweaker is used and the basis of your rom related to Zeus Tweaker and the notification bar Thanks Robin.raven
What do you think about asking for permission?
I think is a very intuitive task... before do something, you have to ask for permissions (if it applies).
In this case everything is the opposite... you do what you prefer, you publish my work under your name and after all, when I ask you, you decide to ask for permissions.
You don't have my permission to modify my ROM and publish as yours.
You have my permission to learn from my rom how to do things and apply them to your own ROM.
You have my permission to make a mod patch to apply over my ROM to modify it in the same wat you have modified it. Is a very easy task, use a comparison tool like WinMerge to see the diffs between your ROM and mine, and create a flashable .zip with only this diff files and the needed permissions, in the same way I create every of my updates.
Regards.
It is true I could do so and ask for permission first, but this is not Huexxx rom modification , is also in the base stock v20n and I saw here copied my rom with the adjustment from Huexxx but maybe the problem with the permit modification(koila33)
Thank you for your answer I'm learning from your rom Zeus and support you! Perhaps it can be additionally dopořádku I will always remember and process for new legislation in this rom ask you first
Great hearing that you will ask for permission
It means alot to me and i think you understand that
for the rest it's a nice rom i tried it allready .
Cheers

What ?!
I have not used anything of your rom, so do not talk to me, I used system.apk, pf your rom and nothing else, could have been modified by me but to have less work if you want I delete system.apk...
And I asked if I could use huexxx rom files from him and he agreed and I gave him credits, the normal procedure.

Aaaaaand why is this version 5.1 anyway?
There were no previous versions huh?

previous versions are THIS ROM but this is the best ! it seems that only in Spain and Portugal can create custom rom: D
look at videoprew . Huexxx from a lot of things but also own a lot of work on this rom !
please don't fight here. @robin: one possible solution is asking the admin to move the ROM to themes and apps section.
i too have a port from PRADA (P940) which used Zeus as it's base.i had released it here, but then huexxx told me to kindly asked the Mod to move it to themes and apps section, since it was a THEMED ZEUS core.. and so i did. note that, once you are using someone's ROM as a base, EVEN IF YOUR ROM IS 99% DIFFERENT FROM HIS, U GOTTA ASK his permission and take in what he says.
no one, absolutely no one can tell apart that i used Zeus ROM as my base on the PRADA port, but yet, the ROM is in the themes and apps section.
if we all can release ROMS based on zeus then i'll release 1 ROM daily with a different launcher and different look. it is just basic theming.
once you make full ROM, share it on the dev forum. or better yet, grab a v20 ROM, replace the visual elements and release it back.
choice is yours.
i repeat, am not trying to flame you here, but there are wayyyy too many ROMs based on ZEUS without huexxx's permission and without giving him proper credit.
i pinged you on youtube that i found some stamps from PRADA ROM also, but u didn't bother to reply my comment there.
nevertheless, please consider what i have said.
remember my friend, am not trying to pick you. and the OB XDA community is perhaps the nicest community u can come across.

Robin, you effort is really welcome but I think you have to remove the download links until your clear with Huexxx.
I know very well Huexxx ROM, I use it since the first release. Very often Huexxx told us to implement new tweaks our features from other developer, but we have to wait until he gets the permissions from the developer and you should do the same.
