updated
changed the status bar and added a few more menu icons that were missing from previous version, also brushed metal header in apps/browser courtesy of geo and his macdroid theme.
I reworked my sticker theme to work on rc33. It's pretty large so in order for it to work you must first flash my modified jf rc33 update which removes most of the stock ringtones from the phone. That's the reason I created a new thread because if you don't do this the theme will NOT flash.
Here is the modified rc33 update you must flash first
http://www.mediafire.com/?zy4myowmmil
here is the theme
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mtd3dj52mt1/sticker_RC33-update.zip
and of course screen shots
edit, here is the audio file, just copy over to your sd card and the phone should see them
http://www.mediafire.com/?zmknennkjza
if you dont mind me asking in your modified RC33 is that all you have done is removed some of the default ringtones?
yep, that's all I did to free up space, ringtones and notification tones. I can repack the ones I removed into zip file if people want them to put on an sd card
Cool, im installing the theme now i really like you sticker theme. thank you for the quick response and the work you put in on the theme
- I flashed your light Rc33 but when i try to update the theme getting [Bad] and it aborts the install.
Trying to transfer the file to my SD card through my card reader will let you know.
Update...
It worked must have corrupted on the first transfer to the SD card.
Awesome Thank You!
that's strange, check them name on your sd card make sure nothing extra is in it
i'd appreciate if you'd post the ringtones and notifications in a zip file because i actually like some of those sounds and want to flash SOMEONE'S theme, but i want to keep the sounds
oh, and please =]

That I can't really answer, you shouldn't have to. But I had to wipe when installing the regular jf rc33. €hat was the last wipe I did, didn't require it with my updates
Hey so why exactly do we HAVE to do the light mod rc33 first?
What else was done other than removing the ringtones?
The main reason is so the theme will install. With rc33 there is only 350kb of freespace in system so that's what is causing most themes to freeze on the boot screens. By removing ringtones from system/media it frees up space so we can apply themes. I did change the recovery image back to the rc30 image because rc33 wouldn't allow you to use adb in recovery mode, but I did that before I took out all the ringtones.
Thanks for all your hard work on getting this done for all of us to enjoy man, i really appreciate it! Oh and thank you for the sound file as well!
no problem man. Couple more coming out soon as soon as I get some free time to work on theme.

Cool will be looking for your carbon theme! You know i was hoping someone would make the updates without the system sounds anyways so its a win win for me.
I Love the work you do w/ you themes, had a bunch of the other ones before 1.41 even came out, but once I found yours, I loved them...... I just updated to RC33, and enjoy your ikid theme as well. any word on when that one might come out for RC33?!? again I really appreciate the quality you bring to the themes!!!! keep it up!
also, I was wondering if you were working on a new alarm clock icon for the status bar, and if not, maybe work that into the next build? that'd be awesome!
iKid and carbon glow are being updated to rc33 right now, I'm going in and compressing all the png files before uploading the new versions, I'm also getting a new version of sticker together that will be smaller by using the same methods. I guess I had forgotten about the alarm clock status icon, I'll include that in the next update. Hopefully tomorrow.
jdwme, you have done some great theme work. Do you have a donate link?
thanks man. no i dont have a donate link, didnt set one up yet
update bump!

Do you have the lite version of r33?
are you opening the folders and renaming the the zip files in side update.zip and not renaming the files the updates are in
Make sure you check the zip files. Some of them included the themes inside the zip files so they coukld package extra icons for bettercut and wallpapers.

Dark night is basically a custom JF update from what I understand.
wow
custom update. thats interesting.
It was the only way to get the red clock in the upper right hand side, so if you change from it you need to flash back to a jf stock update to get rid of the red clock

You will have to ask the theme creator for more info though...
My theme has instructions both in side the MoOn_DUST zip and in the thread. I use JFRC33_V1.42 and i moved all ringers to S.D. This will also help with installing a large theme.
Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fi,,,na,,,,llllyy!!!

Well, just in time to preview and judge the themes.
After switching from aero to original theme, contents of my folders doubled. Any clue as to why?

[09/28/09] Theme for 4.1.11.1 @14:40
- HUGE THANK YOU TO DRIZZY FOR THE IMAGES TO WORK WITH
- Nothing special, just the basis for a beautiful Blur theme
- I used Oreo as the base so some of this theme may look familiar
- Animations from Blur have been added
BlurSpec for CM 4.1.11.1: Download Here
did u add the animations too
Its only the basic graphics at this point, no animations or anything actually from Blur.
animations r really easy to add just drag and drop the animations folder from drizzy's new hero release with blur the animations r located in the framework-res.apk file glad u made this blur looks really nice

Nice Job
Good job man this goes perfect with my white mytouch 3G
Very beautiful. Love to try it but that CM is experimental.
Will you be themeing/adding stericsons lockscreen? If not is there a way to push it?
Thanks for all yours and drizzys hard work, i plan on getting the cliq and its nice to have a preview of whats to come
please add stericsons lock screen to this
If you do ad stericsons lock screen, can you make it so there is an option to have it or not. I'm not really a big fan of the lockscreen.

What build are you using?
You gotta be careful with what build you are using and what you are changing.
Don't boot animations usually go into /system/media?
1.6 use shine and mask logos
2.x use Boot animations
They are different so...yeah...be careful.

This is true, but! Also their are two Apk's that always give problems when themed (Wrong). MetaMorph doesn't replace files that don't exist, meaning, if the two different roms have two different locations for boot files example: System/media or framework-res.apk/assets/images/ and neither are present. It will skip over both and not copy. So conclusions state that maybe one or more of the images are not accepted by the Android System.
These two apk's, my friends, are the framework-res.apk and the Launcher.apk...
Many of failed themes from the past proves this theory accurate, ask any old skool themer...
Worse case scenario, check the pictures with the (.9.png) extentions.
wow sorry i really lost rack of this thread sorry
i know specifically that the problem is cause by framework.apk and when i said boot animations i meant mask and shine.
p.s also im using latest build available in market

What Rom are you using? Cyan?
Who's MetaMorph theme are you using? Enoch?
Have you tried installing all of themes EXCEPT framework-res.apk to see if you still have the forecloses, or one by one to see which ones are causing the forecloses?
Some Homework:
If you want to test framework, try to remove all the foldes from the theme (make backups first). Add 1 folder back to theme, then run the MetaMorph cycle. Leave the png folders for last. When you reach a folder containing png's, add 3 png's at a time to each MetaMorph cycle. So now you narrow down the culprit(s) faster.
Example:
I am trying to MetaMorph my Zelda theme. My framework-res folder change, for some reason shuts down my Market on TheOfficial TMO rom. I can download, but when its about to install the apk it forecloses. But it works accurately on TheOfficial AOSP. (???) So, I am thinking that maybe it the way some roms are built.
im using cyan 4.2.15.1 with ebi1 port and im trying to metamorph the mask and shine at startup that writes to framework-res.apk

Here it is if you want to try:
i will flash yours and tell u the results and im currently on cyan 4.2.15.1 with bcrook's ebi1 port and enoch installed (via flashable zip)
edit: i cant even metamorph yours it says there isnt a valid thm file found? what does that mean?
edit2: nvm i figured it out u had an extra directory in the zip but i fixed
btw these themes do they have to be signed in a special way somehow like the zips or no
ps ur boot looks really nice
edit3 : still getting a million force closs after unlock so i wiped and restored

Overground: can we get a sticky?
reserved for faq
Alrite just a couple questions about theming and customization.
I would like to apply your red sense theme.
-Do I have to use a rom or can I just apply it on my rooted phone?
-If I have to use a rom which do you suggest so I can still use the original internet app that came with the phone?
Thx for all your help!
Sent you a PM about this actually.
Whats the trick to enable transparency? Particularly the notification pull-down. I have already modified framework-res.apk to include the transparent images, however they are not displaying transparent when applied to the phone. I read a few things about hexing, and even found a 'transparency patcher' program from droid-forums. This patcher apparently, does the hex work for you on services.jar. However, it did not do the trick. What am I missing here?
I'm running my own fully deodexed custom rom based on the 2.2 sense leak.
I'm working on Transparency as well...I contacted Xeudoxus at droidforums...hopefully he can help.
I would just like to know how to manually change my icons and or folders on my home screen and in my app drawer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I too would like to find out how to change the "Folders" icon from the plain manila to obviously something else.

All root themes will usually only work for the rom they are made for. Sometimes there are big changes to the firmware, sometimes little... a good rule of thumb is to always make a nandroid backup if your an early adopter. So long story short:
1. yes
2. whatever rom i made the theme for... you can only use the original browser app with sense

Changing folder icons/app icons: you're gonna have to theme the rom you're using
basic ingredients in no particular order:
1. update.zip- just download one of themes and the update script in there (META-INF) or make your own if you feel like learning the syntax
2. resigning tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
3. 7zip for extracting apks
4. Android SDK
5. Lots of time
Start extracting apks and viewing the contents of res/drawable-hdpi---where you'll find icons
Most icons are named ic_launcher_XXXX.png, some are named app_icon, others are just simply icon... you'll have to look around to find them as there is no easy way to change them. Once you find the icon you want to replace, drop your new icon (with exactly the same name) into the same directory (preferably using 7zip since you don't have to have the directory extracted to replace it) and resign the entire zip file... flash zip and win!
So how much time do you think I would need if I was to do this? Just kidding looks like a pain in the ass. However, doable. Thanks for the link to signing the zip. Thought it just might be a bit easier. Hopefully soon I can change the plain folders to a picture of my girlfriend or something.

Signal Bars
I have seemed to try everything to change the signal bar(s) colors. I have changed all of the icons to a red theme and the only way I can think thats left is that it has to be hex coded. Important fact is I am running skyraider 2.0.1. Has anyone had any luck changing these?
Scrambled up a real simple black bar theme for Super E.
Thought i'd share it with you.
I just combined some things i found on the internet. Hope its usefull!
Works on all eclair roms!
