This is compatible on CM 4.2.+ because I only change a couple of files that rarely change anyways.
Just wanted to share my next-generation of themes. I only replaced the framework, mms and launcher files to keep the theme as small as possible while maximizing results. This makes the theme file only 3.65MB in size yet still gives you the awesomeness of Oreo, pink from pulse, the dark status bar and icons from hero, some inverted icons and animations from blur, and finally the speed of CyanogenMod.
Changed Files:
Code:
- mms.apk
- launcher.apk
- framework-res.apk
Installation Instructions:
Code:
- Download the attached file from this post.
- Place the downloaded file on the SD card of your phone.
- Reboot your phone into Recovery by holding the Home button.
- Flash my file and then reboot.
Uninstallation Instructions:
Code:
- Download the original ROM you had before flashing my file.
- Place the downloaded file on the SD card of your phone.
- Reboot your phone into Recovery by holding the Home button.
- Flash the original ROM file over my work replacing everything back to default and then reboot.

gonna give it a flash rite now great work on this small theme my gf luvs it
Simple, yet nice and elegant. Thank you very much.
Nice job as usual! a good combination of things from other themes and the small file size is always a plus.
the alldroid.org website...do we have to reallie register to get the attachments before i didnt have too now it keeps saying i dont have permission to dl it please help..
Exactly what I've been waiting for, thanks Branden, I was just trying to mash some of the pink pulse stuff into your Oreo for Cyan and figured I'd check to see if you added Pulse yet and even better you mashed them up already.

Its because you have to register to download the files at that site that I am hosting this here for you guys. Before I posted everything on sites like sharebee.com but they disappear after a while and I want to keep a catalog of my work and find an all android base camp which is why I made the switch. Like I said in the first post, this is perfectly stable and awesome in every way but if you want to always get my newest updates and check out my other work it might be worth the 2 minutes it takes.
This is by FAR my favorite theme out right now. Can you port this for Akirah's latest ROM? Puh-puh-pleeeease? I've been having a lot of trouble with 4.1.999. Keep up the dope work!
I like this theme a lot, thanks for posting it.
Don't really understand why this Theme isn't getting much attention, it is incredibly slick, very nicely done and only 3.5 megs, I hope you keep updating this next generation theme.
Been waiting for .9999, I've tried others but this one is the one for me.
Thank you for the hard work and innovation.

Ey man.
This is my favorite theme.

Peace.

That and the powerapp being unskinned is the only thing stopping this from being the perfect theme imo.
All I want is a nice black theme that is light and doesn't change the way cyanogen works...
Awesome theme..
Yea been using oreo since day one and it never fails.....but.....haven't flashed this one because of the Pink.
A version with stericson lockscreen would be nice

Really like the theme. Im using it now, just one minor request, can ya change the pink when you click on stuff to another color, any color? Green,blue,red,something other than pink? lmao, but seriously its an awesome theme. Thanks for all the work on it.
Hey, new here but this theme seems to be my favourite. None of the others seem to do it for me, they just dont seem complete or have slight design flaws. Nice job on this im just checking your others out. Mae sure you port this or create a new one with green for the new cyanogen
I don't even want to move to CM 4.2.1 until this theme is compatible.
Thats how much I like this theme.
I usually make a custom wallpaper for my lockscreen or homescreen everytime I switch a rom but so far they are pretty elementary mostly because I have no idea what the hell I am doing lol. I am on a mac so I am working in GIMP but I have a few things I cant figure out. I am uploading a picture of what I have so far. I would like the black areas around the pictures to be semi-transparent and the edges of the pictures themselves to be rounded slightly to give it a smoother feel. I will upload the individual pictures also. I would much rather learn to do it myself but I understand if for whatever reason no one wants to show me. Believe me its not the end of the world. Just something I like to have so when I pull my phone out at work I can see my family. That is me, my wife, and daughter,by the way. ....oh I also wanted a small slightly-less transparent box around the time and smaller but proportional boxes around the sprint and date. I know its alot but I got this image in my head of the perfect lockscreen and not a clue on how to get it to the phone lol.
oh and the reason I posted this in CDMA and not themes and applications was because I wasnt sure if to get the transparency it would have to be update.zip style and I wasnt sure if it made a difference if the phone it was being flashed on was CDMA or GSM. Oh and I am on modaco 2.0
I've got the photo shop experience for this, but I can't seem to find the images in com.htc.resources.apk or lockscreen.apk that need to be edited. If you can point out which images control the lock screen, I will help you with this.
I'll write a quick how to later when I have a linux box/gimp at my hands.
I was just looking into this myself. I know that any overlays are a file known as lockscreen.topedge. I am not good with Photo shop so I havent tried but I downloaded a lockscreen and extracted the .apk and found that image to be the overlay. You could create a picture and use the wand function to single out the background, add transparency to it. I wish i had to the time to mess around with it but work isnt the place unfortunately.

I wish work wasn't the place for this kind of stuff
Well it would be if i owned a laptop. Lol Hopefully I can dig in tonight or tomorrow and see what I can do.
The 1st part of what u need I can probably help with, u want the black background semi transparent and the pictures of you and your family rounded a bit correct? That's what I understood from there. The second part I'm not so sure of still
I see in gimp that there is a menu layer ->transparency but I cant see how to make certain regions transparent and if I try to make the whole image semi transparent I do not know how to preserve that transparency through saving, transferring and applying the image to the phone. I figured it would be better off as an overlay as NOJs lockscreens are but I am unexperienced in update.zip and how to sign and package them. I could push them via adb but I am not sure where to push overlay images to the lockscreen. Thanks for all of the help yall are giving me I really appreciate it. This stuff can get frustrating nice to have helpful people in the community.
I am not sure if you are willing to pay a few bucks for it, but i know that Noj is taking requests for custom locksreens for a small donation.
You can find Noj's custom lockscreen request @ Flipz's GeekFor.Me HERE
p.s. I would love to see someone write a quick tutorial on which files need to be edited to make our own lockscreens.
Im really hoping to learn how to do it myself I'll go broke as much as I change the pictures on my lockscreen(about twice a week) lol
The reason you are having issues is due to you probably not following a correct workpath in PShop/GIMP. Use layers/masks/etc.
really he would make u pay money for a little project -___-, well since i dont work today let me take a shot @ this, ill post up what i done later

I stumbled coincidentally in this thread. I wrote a tut for Desire HD recently, since this mod is one of the easiest around anyway. This should answer all your questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907477
I was just wondering if any themer out there could make a simple black bar for eclairOG v1.11(preferrably somewhat glossy) with a round battery icon (used in MAT-Theme, I believe its made by kspec?)
A lot of people have been asking for a black bar in the thread so I figured id try to get a themer's attention. Thank you!
To make things easier for the theme devs heres the link to the ROM
EclairOG:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620673
and this is the theme that contains the notification bar and battery icon, id like. Thanks!

OOhhh yes...Desperatly waiting for this
i am too, I really want it. i have really basic knowledge about theming, ive been trying to get it done myself, but all i get are bootloops...lol

Id be happy enough with just the black bar. I managed to modify the framework-res.apk a lil bit but all it flashed was the battery, pulldown menu and the lil network icons, but the bar still comes up white even though i used the black images from the MAT theme, eclair is so much different than donut when it comes to theming, im not asking for much, just the black bar so hopefully someone will do it, because a ton of people are asking for it on the ROMs thread.

http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/eOG-new.zip
I haven't tested it. I really don't feel like spending the 30 minutes or so to set my unused G1(s) up to test it out, so nandroid before trying it.
It has the pull down, notification bar icons, and status bar from the MAT theme (all credit to the creators of the images used).
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/simple_black_bar.zip
There are the images I used for it along with the steps I used for colorChangev3.jar based on what the images looked like.
You have to change statusbar_background.png to statusbar_background.9.png for the status bar to show up black.

you sir, are EPIC! thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I flashed it, only the text turns white, but i found out why. In 2.1 roms, the system icons are no longer located in drawable. theyve been moved to drawable-mdpi. so i think if i move your images to mdpi itll work. ah, i didnt realize that statusbar_background had to be converted to a 9.png. Thanks this has been a great learning experience for me. Ive been fumbling around with the files and images all day and all of last night trying to get it to work. I think i can fix it myself. when I do finish, ill post it here and credit you and the original themer for MAT. Thank you very very much!

[BlackBar Mod - eclairOG1.0-1.2]
I DO NOT take any credit for this.
The notification bar is from MAT Theme made by matata86
and was ported over to eclairOG by david1171
UPDATED!!!! - I found some files that were in the wrong folder, and 3 images that were missing. I moved and restored the proper files into the right places. GTalk no longer force closes, no slowdown, nothing. Everything should run fine now!
Screenshots:
Installation:
-Make sure you have no widgets on any of your home screens before flashing
-Boot into Recovery and flash normally as you would any other theme
-No Need to Wipe anything (If you really really wanna be safe, wipe dalvik, but you shouldnt need to)
DOWNLOAD HERE!!!
Oh, and i might make a couple more versions and use battery icons from other themes on xda. Thanks again david1171 for porting the black bar to eclairOG!
Nice work.
love that battery icon...
Just flashed it and running good so far
EDIT: Got the feeling, that it slows down the phone a bit...
Does your Beautiful weather widget has a transparent background?

no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.

Oh well, I was going to PM you for it. I think I know how to make it transparent, but I think the application needs to be resigned after replacing PNGs coz it didn't install. I tried signing made easy, but couldn't figure out how to make update-script.

yeah it needs to be resigned. I use stericsons autosign.bat file.
Check out the zip file i attached and look in META-INF < com < google < android < update-script and open it with Wordpad and you should get an idea of those work. theyre very simple. im not at my comp right now so i cant explain much about them right now.
and to anyone having problems with the black bar, ill see if i can find anything wrong with it and fix it.
.99 cents to the first person who builds a mywater live wallpaper and battery stat akin to the one used on the Asus EEE transformer for our TB and other devices.

Looks really cool but I noticed that it indicates there is a battery and performance impact. Perhaps if it didn't take into account the orientation of the phone and slosh around the liquid the impact would be less.
that is pretty SWEET!
id pay for that too
Liquid Battery, while it may not look as good as the one you refer to, can accomplish a similar effect:

I downloaded the apk and de-compiled it.
Keep in mind, I am not a Dev, I am a Graphics Designer.
I changed all of the images made some minor edits to the smali files and the xml files.
I changed the SDK Version and a number of minor things but I can't get it to work properly.
The problem isn't that it is in low resolution, it is not displaying the bubbles or the ice cubes.
I don't really understand why because it displays the water level just fine.
Like I said, I redone all of the bubble images and re-saved them, re-compiled the apk, signed it and installed.
I get the same results no matter what I do...
The ice cubes and the bubbles don't display, you just get a square white box in their place.
I hope someone picks this up, it is pretty cool. When someone that knows what they are doing gets hold of this it is probably something simple.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

That's further than I got, the ice cubes would be a big improvement.
Someone in another thread stated that it looks like a big Styrofoam box, I tend to agree
I would have to agree with you gadget. I would be content with just the ice cubes working without the bubbles. I am excited to see at least some progress here!
That's really all that I want, I don't really care about an entire theme.
Is there an easy way to get notifications like these, or is there a theme that is already like this that I can flash?
Thanks!
I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.
~~EDIT 2~~
Ya man, can't find the right file. Sorry. If you can get someone to tell you what file in systemui.apk needs to be replaced I can tell you how.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.
If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

What I'm talking about are the notifications you see once you pull the notification bar down.
I will try everything that was recommended and give everyone a proper reply by the end of this week, promise. I just have to do a ton of **** these next few days for my midterms, but the weekend is almost here, so don't fret!

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!
There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.
