I'm gonna start trying my hand in porting, i just dont know which theme to start with.
I was thinking about White Chrome from the i9000 forums, but i dont even know if its compatible.
it would be for sc2.9.2.
opinions please!
and if any of the themers would like to give me the ok to pm them if i get stuck with something, that would be awesome. i dont want to feel like im bugging all you guys haha
You dont know if its compatible? Of course its not. When you port a theme, you make it compatable.
You can pm me if you need any tips.
Hopefully you can talk with nitsuj17 he is very experienced.
White Chrome is dope, good luck with the port.
My advice would be to download an existing fascinate theme/framework and compare it to the theme you like and want to port...galaxy s themes are pretty close to ours (well gingerbread rom themes are a tad more difficult with systemui.apk) so just look through the drawable-hdpi folders and see what's different

well i know im making it compatible, i had just heard there was something with TW roms vs aosp and stuff, and if i ported an aosp theme for a tw rom, i thought things might go bad.

i would recommend using sbrissens 6 lock mods as a base or stock frameworks from roms...when working with already themed frameworks ur carrying over their xml edits/image/framework changes too
and always remember to credit
yeah haha I read your ettiqute (sp) in your guide. so if I download sbrissens mods, and there will be modded frameworks in there and I can just put the image files that I am porting into that framework?

The best way to pick something to work on is find one that YOU like. Then all the aggravation can be worth it if its something you will want to personally use.

Sorry to hear that. I think some of the animations would get pretty sweet. After we had the chance to swap out the files for our own taste or to match whatever theme you are working on.Obviously I wouldnt want the same animation from the video but customizing it the way we want peaks my intrest.......thanks for replying.

Exactly my point, technically I guess you could even use live wallpaper files and themers could create their own custom animations..
As far as battery life, according to the creator its not a battery drain and doesnt consume resources unless you engage the drop down menu....

Nice work! I'm running Crysis, and am myself am trying to come up with some animations that would look sweet with that. Tough one.
I hope at somepoint this leads to pull down widgets... Like sports scores, weather, news or whatever...... But simple animations is a good start and I realize widgets would be a leap but who knows....
I still dont understand what I was doing wrong. Did exactly what the original modder instructed... Aaaaaaa, oh well. Ill try again when I get to my desk top. My laptop died.......

it might sound a little weird but there is no way I will use the rom without the pure gingerbread theme and this is the complaint: the bright green battery indicator on the gingerbread theme stands out like a sore thumb and I am the kind of person who likes everything neat.

Hi Guys,
It's raining ROMS for the Atrix.
Dorian is in the process of uploading one more GB ROM.
v2 uploading
A lot of things have changed with V2. Here's a short change-log:
Tweaked Google Talk integration w/video. Is now more stable than before, with no noticeable issues.
Tweaked dialer interface. This one is a WIP. I'm attempting to cover all the blur parts that I intend on leaving behind in AOSP theming. It's still perfectly functional, just not quite done.
Email. Exchange integration is now implemented. It won't be using Blur or Motorola's backend. I've tested this feature with a test account from one of my Captivate users. No issues AFAIK.
Fixed camera orientation in front facing camera view. Also now truly supports 1080p recording with a slightly higher bitrate than before...
Blur "Social" app has been removed, along with all the filler bloat that accompanies it.
Vlingo has been removed.
GOLauncherEX is now standard, replacing LauncherPro. GOLauncher is smooth as glass! O_O
More is coming... along with deeper theming of the remaining blur apps.

The developer of this rom, Dorian, has a solid background in rom development - I believe it was with the Captivate - and is well known by some of the staff on Atrix Forums, who speak very highly of the quality of his work. I'm downloading it now, and plan on giving it a shot, so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I think it is mostly a theme. He replaced the launcher, but a quick look through the system folder shows he did not replace any other blur pieces, which is understandable moto has a stranglehold on the preinstalled apps.

Because this is not a happy family place. If he misspells one word he would get screwed in the ass here. LOL, anyways he seems to stay on his own website and the smaller forums like the ones dedicated too the Captivate and Atrix. He has the best roms for the Captivate Ive been told.
Hey Guys,
I'm working on porting over the Domination VRTheme by Vertumus
(OG Thread HERE )
Definitely a work in progress, however the changes needed to be made are in framework-res apk.
If any more knowledgeable devs would care to take a look at it, I'd be most appreciative.
I've got it all running (by just deleting framework-res apk modifications) except for phone, new message, contacts, maybe more... Those all FC. So for now I'll use this thread to keep the dear public updated as I await a reply from Vertumus.
EDIT: Vertumus approved porting. Alpha releases for DEVS ONLY will be posted eventually.
UPDATE: File name callings in xmls between the i9505 and the L720 are DIFFERENT!
Basically, that means its gonna take HARD work to get proper filename calling inside EVERY SINGLE XML
In other words. Please be patient and don't rush the nice Dev
Reserved...
And this is where I'd put reserved....

Just one??? Now how is that fair?
At the moment I'm porting the white one. I've got it to boot about 90% themed but like I said... FC's everywhere. It's all got to do with framework-res modifications though and i can't decode the XMLs to see their code and compare it to our stock sprint xmls.. Someone DL the light theme and open it up. Inside vrtheme\system\framework\framework-res.apk... any one of the folders with .xml come out looking completely uncoded (Still compiled) and i cant decompile the ".apk" cause it's not an apk.. It's a folder... I'm gonna try zipping it and dropping an AndroidManifest.xml from stock to see if i can get to at least ONE xml.. Then I will have a basis to start with.
But to answer the question I *SLIGHTLY* drifted from... Yes I am going to port both and keep them up to date (assuming Master Vertumus allows me to post it )
EDIT: I think i got it... Compiling modded framework-res.apk..... Wish me luck
Holy shizz i found the problem...
I would love you long time if you got this working! Lol Keep up the work. Excited to see it running eventually.
So....close....

Yeah, quite a few of there system apks are different. Especially the framework. Best bet, is to re-work the framework, or else compatibility with roms is gonna be a nightmare. I dug deep into all there system apks a while back, but off the top of my head, I'm guessing phone, Contacts, mms, framework, TWframework, Settings, should definitely be redone. Try WinMerge. Great way to compare decompiled files. This way you csn tell the differences right off the bat!
Also, it's gonna be a bit more than just XMLs, cause if you compare ours and theres, you notice that alot of there images are placed in different folders within the APK. Same goes for Phone, Contacts, and other I'm sure. But the framework probably will be the worst, it's just trial and error from there. Thas why I hate ports lol..
Either way, Good luck.
