Cyan Theme Template

may somebody make a theme template of cyans latest 4.2.11.1 for me cant seem to find it on his post nor website since he doesnt make them anymore :/
greatly aprreciated thanks

just download any theme that is for CM-4.2.11.1 and start replacing the images with the ones you want for your theme. I dont really know if Cyan is still putting out theme templates, i havent seen one in a while.
-BMFC

yeah i just did that...now to take out the google apps from the htc rom :/
making a little Gnome-ish theme

Make sure to post it up id like to see it =)

I have a default cm theme template I do for each rom updates. Mostly for my own themes use and to get back to stock when things break by flashing themes. It only has like open source apps though, so it doesn't come with stuff like gmail and market and youtube and such. You can always add the apk you theme of it inside the /app folder and sign it again if you want to do that.
I could upload it and post it if anyone wants.

it would un-theme every .apk that is in that .zip. I think there is a stock metamorph somewhere, you could take every image out of the folders except for the app icon image and do it that way.

oh ok...thanks man

It'll only get you back to default cyan rom if the sirmez theme didn't touch any of the google apps. Otherwise you'll see most things back to default and things like gmail/youtube/market may stay themed.

[Request] CM 7 Theme Chooser "MattedBlues"

Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848

+1
I love this theme and wish this for my Desire

+1 on that one!

+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.

Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Nice, can't wait!
Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?

Can't wait for this theme!!!

I would love this theme on my Nexus One!

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

odexed or deodexed ?

Open /SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml with Notepad++ and edit this line to get transparency you need, for example, 100% transparent:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#00000000</item>
#00000000 - 100% transparency
#3F000000 - 75% transparency
#7F000000 - 50% transparency

Hello everybody,
since i'm unable to do this by my own because of the missing modding skills, i want to ask if someone of the more experienced devs could make me two statusbars, the first one with the clock and provider name in blue like the other icons and the second one with the clock in the middle of the screen and clock+provider in blue like the other icons. I use farias latest ROM which isn't deodexed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074514).

:good:good work

Great :laugh:

thank you.. gonna add gradients to my. next gb rom.. I've more white if you want I can share

Nice guide. :good:
Btw You can use xml method for the gradient statusbar, So that the users can change the opacity and color of their choice without any image editor. If you didn't understand you can take a look at gradient_bg.xml in SystemUI.zip from my guide.

i will definitely gonna try it on my ace with gb
happy new year in advance :laugh::good:

Ya, the output will be same and this method is simple also but if the user wants to change the color of the gradient
In image method: He should use any photo editor.
In xml method: He should just change the hex color code.
Just a suggestion that you can edit the op and create 2 methods for this, Method 1 is image method and Method 2 is xml method.

There is no need to do modding with smali files for getting transparency. The icons are only for MDPI devices. I have resized the icons according to my device.

Try these steps:
Decompile your launcher
open res/values/styles.xml
add this style
Code:
<style name="My.Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>
now open AndroidManifest.xml
find this line (this line may be different in your rom)
Code:
<application android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
add this code in that line
Code:
android:theme="@style/My.Theme"
Now that line will look like this
Code:
<application [COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@style/My.Theme"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
Recompile
Push it in to system/app

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?

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.
