(try this link I am having problems with uploads right now due to firewall)
androidupdate.tar includes
-complete updates for polymod eclair 2.1g wifi and full market.
-Most apps are themed but still a work in progress.
-HelixLauncher included with stock Launcher
-lcd.density = 150 in build.prop I use this for 320x428 nbh. Adjust your build.prop accordingly for your resolution. 160 for 320x480 and 110 or 120 for 240x320. Make sure to use an eclair nbh from http://ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/index.php?folder=S2Fpc2VyX05CSHMvRWNsYWly/
Just as an understanding I did not create any of this so thank those who did, polyrithmic for the eclair build, cloverdale for the wonderful theme, and to everyone else who has helped me along the way
looks great
looks great, how about posting an update tar?
give me a couple of days there are still a couple spots im not happy with once I can get them then I will be happy to give a link. I was hoping this thread would spawn a little more creativity amongst the kaiser users. There is a ton going on over on the vogue threads with theming for donut would like to see some of that here for eclair.

I figured I'd let you know the download link works fine for me. Thanks for taking the time to post this and send me the links. I probably will not get a chance to mess with it until Saturday. I will definitely let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
Since we're on 2.1D now, what effect does the wifi and market part of the update have on the system, specifically will it 'downgrade' the new settings? Just for the sake of compatibility.
I may just install the theme, see how that goes and get back to you.
Excellent work btw, really like this
resolution
hey i know you said to adjust the resolution through the build.prop file. but how do i edit it? i opened it in the notepad, but it wouldnt save the change?

The first update is based off of Poly's 2.1g Dark, I didn't know of any 2.1D but will check on it. I imagine it would work with his 2.1g plain as well. The update includes the wifi fix and market update that he has posted on his thread I just put them into one package for user friendliness.

Here are links to different resolutions, just install the correct androidupdate you need 320 has lcd.density set at 160 and 420 is set at 150 make sure it gets named properly to androidupdate.tar before trying to install

thanks
hey thanks for the uploads!
so i don't know if its just me or what, but is it smoother now or is it just me? haha. but heres my OPINION, don't take it the wrong way. but..
i thinkyou should just keep the signal bars and battery bars the same just make them blue? with a white outline maybe? and then the helix icon to scroll up the menu is nice, but is there anything different we can change it to? lastly, is there anyway to make the lock bar blue too? hahah just wondering
but great job with the work! me like

The Theme is designed for donut, I made it work on eclair, it does seem to run a bit smoother that may be due to the png's being smaller. As I get time I am trying to get a few of the things you suggested worked in, I don't like the dots, and I might be able to change the helix icon to the original only blue its a little tricky though.
There are a couple other things I am working on ATM and once I am done with those I will probly get back to theming. This is actually my very first theme / contribution to the community.
well let me be the first to tell you then. that was pro. hahah! NICE!

market?
so this is probably a quick fix, but when i was trying to download apps from market, it says start downloading, but it won't go any further then that. i've tried resetting a couple of times but it hasn't had any affect. any ideas?
Just a quick note on changing build.prop or in fact any system file, you must run 'rwsystem' (from console/teminal emulator ), before editing, this makes the system read/write rather than it's normal readonly state, after editing run 'rosystem' to return to normal.
I prefer editing system files using the built in nano editor, since i'm used to it. Not tried editing from gui so ymmv

Were you able to download from the market before, maybe a reboot will help if you haven't done it already. I'll double check again over the weekend to make sure it works for me right now I am working on a full nand install of a 2.1 sense build.
edit: Somehow I missed poly's update to 2.1D some things in this theme may not work correctly on that build due to all of his updates. Once I get squared away at home this weekend I will look into creating several different themes for that build.
yeah oddly enough i was. i tried resetting a couple of times, and even taking out the battery. i sometimes have wifi problems with the market but everything else works fine with wifi. its odd..
thanks again!

Good to hear! I might come knocking on your door in a few days then
I will happily test this theme when it is ready (or almost) ready.
Sadly I don't think this can be done the right way. I was able to do the same thing with the status bar but it was a placebo effect. You'll be stuck with the same wallpaper. If anyone is willing to prove me wrong I'll be happy for it, as I got lots of ideas I would like to try but stopped due to this hurdle. Good luck in getting this to work.
P.S. the clock looks absolutely awesome.
sure ill take a crack at customizing this theme further.... send me a .zip to [email protected]

Unfortunately you are absolutely correct. I'll just have to go for a sort of a dimmed status bar that'll look transparent but really isn't. Sigh. Why do you torment us like this, Android developers?
The clock does look good, and at least with that one we don't have to fake the transparency effect
I might do a bunch of status bars with different colors; one whiteish, one black, one red, one blue, one brown, etc. That way at least you could get the color of the status bar to decently match any wallpaper you might use. Of course that also means you would have to re-flash the phone every time you changed the wallpaper to something with a different general color.
Hum, I wonder, would it be possible to make a special update.zip containing only the framework apk? I mean, everything else ought to be left intact then, right? An install would be very speedy, just seconds, when all that is needed is an update of the framework. No apps, launcher etc to be reinstalled.
Thoughts?

You certainly can, the first themeing I did was replacing just the clock that way.

Yeah, I've done it with individual apps that way too, but never with the framework apk that is in a different folder than the apps for some reason. I thought it might be different with the framework because of that, but it really should not be. Good to know it's doable though, thanks for confirming!
Pretty cool idea, does this mean it wont show your service? wifi service, battery level etc? I wasn't sure if that was just a mockup you made in photoshop or it will really be that blank
I like the transparent grayscale idea though. looks promising!

Oh, all status bar icons and such will be there once it's done. Though preferably they will be redesigned to fit the glossy theme better than the default ones.
If you can realize this theme like the concept you showed, it will be a most impressive theme. Even the concept is absolutely beautiful.
If we can figure out how to get rid of the black bar at the top when we make transparent status bars this theme would be able to take advatage of it
O.k i have never tried the transparent bar but i think there is two one in drawable an drawable-land the one in drawable-land is black did you try making both of theme clear? Then again there is a lot of stuff thats in the .xml that might be stopping the process. I would ask the .xml doctor to see if thats the case.
I never tried and haven't asked about it. After the announcement of a new update I decided to hold off on any themes
Yeah I know I think ill hold of on Code_Name_Ninja until then.
I've got two on the burner waiting to be moved to update files and ideas for others, it's just so time consuming lol

Great minds really do think alike . Check the bottom of my post lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4320489&postcount=1
Anyway ive spent countless hours going through .xml's trying to find where it would be located. I thought i came close a couple of times but i would only get stuck in a bootloop. Its either located in an .xml somewhere or it can only be changed from the source(which would suck). There arent many of us who have taken on the task of theming the Hero so we may be alone in our efforts. There is also the "remove" and "select" that would have to be taken out possibly from seperate .xmls otherwise it would overlap the image.
Good thing is that if it is an .xml mod, then there is a simple solution. We just have to find the darn .xmls that control it.
If you wanted to try something temporary, you could replace the middle tab with the image you wanted and modify it with borders and shadows etc to give it a sort of flushed look. Like if it sits within the tab. I tried it with a few images and it came out nice. Worth a try. Anyway great work. Looking forward to your finished theme

oh yeah...since u are familiar with xml....i removed the slider above rosie because i didnt know how to take the curve out....is that a xml edit so i can place that back in?
Lol i know what you mean. Im the same way. I would help with the signing but my pc is down atm. I should have a new desktop in a few days so i can help then. My own projects are at a stand still because of my crashed pc. Sucks. If you put the slider back in it will re-appear with the curve. Easiest thing to do is make it transparent. Itll still be there but it wont be visible.

my question is...do i need to make mods to all the programs that use the lockscreen i.e. music,phone,etc.?

Fast Tattoo build I've found over at the vogue forums. Everything that works in the latest donut builds works in this build..including working wifi,ect, but no bluetooth.
camera needs work. No force closes, and it starts up faster than any hero ive tried. Haven't tested everything so let me know if you run into something.
This is not my work..special thanks to dzo, vilord, jamezelle, and many more still involved in the android project.
WiFi yes/no?
hows the stability, does it often end up quitting the homescreen to save ram?b

Wifi is good and fast, overall stability is very good as well. It will often reload the home screen if you don't use a swap file. Uploaded a conf file that will create one for you.

Hello chef and wellcom
i'm going to try it now and looking forward to it
1-can u cook me hebrew font in it for reading and writting ? I will realy be greatfull for that
2-i need a sync prog for that
Is it working good on a htc-tilt ???
And what other files i need to for running it ?
Thanks
ajclai08, it's importante to say that everyone has to set the screen resolution in 320x480 at first boot, and then change to 240x320 if they want to.
Some apps that won't show in the market if you don't do that step.
PS: Some screenshots would be nice.
Good work dude
Good Call!

Good Work , Only issue it still is taking a long time to load from the drawer to the home screen and it won`t let me add Htc widgets, Is it just a issue that I am having or is just some general issues. It takes about 1-2 minutes to load home screen after going in setup or anywhere else....and have downloade the last conf (that makes a swap file)...
Cannot run
I keep getting "read only file system" and can't install this. Any suggestions?

Yes, you could do that but this build is built for qvga..not even sure it others will work.
Loading
I can get mine to load past Haret and the Android Pops up followed by the letters HTC and loud startup sound. I leave it there for 5 mins and then come back to a blank screen, 20 mins later it is still a blank screen.
I am using a Tytn II (Kaiser) Have tried this on a FAT32 formatted single partition SD with both 1GB card and 4GB card.
Any pointers in to where I should look? I was previously using a standard donut build just fine now I have replaced the files using these because I wanted to try out sense ui
Me too! Although I tried it on a Polaris, but since all of the builds for the Kaiser work on my Polaris I don't think this is the problem. Maybe, I didn't download the rootfs on this thread or the conf file. Will try now. EDIT:Yay! It worked! I downloaded the rootfs file and conf file (The one without the swap file conf) and overwrote my existing files. One problem though, no sound.
Does this even work??
Has anyone got this to actually work as described in the first post? I mean I have tried various mixes of files back and forth and now I can get as far as the Screen Calibration and sometimes to the SenseUi but its quiet slow and I get a
FORCE CLOSE com.android.phone has stopped working every few minutes.
Anyone had any better luck and if so what base files did you use as I have used new old whatever it runs into some problem or another.

Spent a good 3 hours yesterday using a whole mismash of files and settings only to BARELY get it to boot and run. I've foudn the zenulators droid-ion donut build has been absolutely PERFECT, fast, and stable using rootfs from 12/11/09. This build seems to be crap.
Camera work ? And battery ?

My partner has a Hero and thinking of getting rid of it due to its shortcommings in the PIM Dept, but I still would like to fiddle around with Android to see the improvements..
But agree with you that this appears to be a really crap build..
Plenty of users have gotten this to run, and run well, just check the original thread. If you want the SenseUI/Hero look on our device, this is the best it gets right now. You don't need a mishmash of files, just use what's in the first post. No build is perfect, you guys should have more respect for what the developers are trying to do for you.
Looking great, enatefox! Too bad I can't dual-boot Android builds, this one is tempting to stick with!

No disrespect at all polyrhythmic...in fact when my next paycheck comes I plan on donating I'm very grateful for all the work the devs have done. I've just been so fed up with WinMo that I run android pretty much as my primary OS so stability and functionality is everythign to me. I figured I'd give the tattoo build a shot just to check out the senseUI but couldn't get it working. As it is, it seems that the Kaiser has JUST enough power to run most andoid builds, that builds with "enahnced" UI's to me would prorobly just bog down the speed and functionality of it....no matter how pretty it is....and it is
this is my first working cab and im so proud of it. this puts an icon in your start menu so you can easily boot to android without having to navigate file explorer. this is also uninstallable, if you decide you dont like it go to settings > system > remove programs.
i did check with google and you are allowed to use the android robot so this is legal. all i have to do is write this:

isnt that awesome?
Nice icon, my .cabs do this automatically as well. This would be useful for people installing a .rar tho that still want an icon.
Edit: I linked your post for people who still want to use the .rar and have a start icon. I also made a XDAndroid icon for the start menu if you want to use it, although the original icon isn't bad either.

Actually I was gonna break out the Adobe CS4 and see what I could come up with. LOL I just didnt want to do it today, so I made the start menu link, and not the icon.

i didnt know that. i installed from your cab and it never gave me the icon so i figured i had to make my own. this does also install on any device. i got it on my fuze.
I've added this to the wiki.
By the way mine only shows the HaRET icon ... but it is in the start menu. I am using a 6.5 ROM if that helps
edit: icon shows after soft reset
I've added a link on my page to this cab where the .rar package instructions are. Just in case someone doesn't want to use the .cab, but still wants the shortcut. I also made a new icon for my XDAndroid cabs if you would like to use it also I can send it to you.
thats cool. im sure alot of people appreciate that.
i finally installed the newest version of android and haret is in a different place now. if you have something like total commander you can fix the shortcut under its properties. ill upgrade the cab soon for people who want this more stock icon.
Not to rain on the parade (because hard work is always appreciated) but, isnt this the same thing as dualboot from yozgatg? You can use the icon created in start menu on his project to boot straight into android also, with out resetting. Although, I think he's going to be updating dualboot since the path has changed for the install, which you've already noticed Nonetheless, thanks for the contribution.

Sometimes that dual boot app is nothing more than a pain in the ass. Seems more streamlined with just its own icon. I have an icon i install from my .cabs as well. Don't use dual boot anymore.

If I wasn't constantly flashing my phone, id probably stick with the dual boot, but for me eventually it just got monotonous. I may even go back to it once android is more complete, but for now I just went back to the simple things in life.
lol
Also, these guys need to change the registry (unless you know how personally) to look for the "andboot" folder, instead of "android". Nothing major really.

You make a good point. Since I don't use it everyday, I don't ever really need to boot straight into it. I just run it to show off or mess around with it for a little bit. I dont know how to change the registry, but I know the shortcut for this app can be manually changed to look for andboot as mentioned above. i think that's what you were talking about right?
Oh, I think you were talking about dualboot. Yozgatg is actually updating it today so you can set where haret.exe is located to boot from.
Hehe, great minds think alike Here's one I made a while back:
bedoig said:
I was sick of haret uglying up my start menu, so I used reshacker to swap the icon with one of my own making. Figured I'd share in case anybody else is interested.
The exe now contains 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 icons, so it should look pretty good on most devices. Just extract haret.zip to your storage card, replacing the existing executable.
For WM6.5 users, I created a cab that will also install a 90x90 png along with a start menu shorcut and the appropriate registry entries.

Great icon
Thanks for this icon, it really works well for the .rar file in Reefer's thread.
help please for HARET ICON
hi all thanks for great job ,
I installed the Cab from haret icon ,but the icon figure in the sd card
so please how to puted in the start menu as in the picture
I have the 6.5 ROM.
Thanks in advance
This is great because I flash ROM's just about every day and lose my shortcut.
Thanks!
It's time for a change...I think some might like the changes others might not..
I've created an App. (it's my first one so no laughing!!!)
It contains the same options you know and love and a couple of new ones!!!
The idea of creating an App is to cut down on the number of files I have to tinker with each week. It was taking too much time. This way I only have to modify the SystemUI.apk and the Launcher2.apk and I'm done.
Those users who couldn't use this Mod because of the changes to services.jar should now be fine..
Couple of things to note..
The option to Hide the Debug Icon is missing. I'm trying to work out a way of hiding the icon without modifying services.jar
If you change the battery Top Bar you might notice a delay of a few seconds before it updates.. (Just me being Lazy)
The Auto Close feature is now standard with the Launcher so the option to enable it is no longer needed.
There are three version
ESCenter - Center Clock Version
ESSwitched - Center Clock, Notification and signal icons switched.
ESRight - Standard version with clock on the right as normal.

so please take a Nandroid backup before applying this.
Hope you like it!!

i strong heartedly disagree with the above poster. I'm on MIUI atm, and I get one full day of use out of my SGS, with HSDPA enabled /always connected, lots and lots of browsing, phone calls, sms, yahoo and whatsapp messenger online almost 24/7, some games, some BT transfers and some Wifi.
then again, I do know how to customize my SGS with black themes and various other settings to extend battery life...btw, no underclocking or undervolting..
no way you're gonna get the same level of polish and the same experience on Eclair..
just my 2 cents...
cheers!

Sorry but I think you must have seriously messed up something if it was that slow!
For me I find it just as fast as Juwe's rom if not faster!
Sorry back on topic, downloading now and will try it out Looks good!
Great work!
More please.

I would have to also tell you, yea there is...
Just because there are people like yourself who extremly are satisfied with it and consider it a top rom, doesn't mean everyone see it in the same light.
I stuck with MIUI with every version from 3 to the latest 5.3, it was my first ever custom rom, and as much as I wanted to like it I finnaly decided to give up on it for the foreseeable future. Even for someone who tried to like it was biased toward it it is more a gimmick rom for entertainment, than proper sgs rom you'd consider serious. Even tried to get my friends on it while I was on it, everyone hated it.
In my opinion it has great potential, but its still in its infancy. It is way to rough and misguided to be a good solid rom. Even going to a base 2.2 rom just rooted and lagfixed beats MIUI in almost every aspect. I finnaly don't feel like breaking my phone again. Almost every aspect of MIUI is different, which is where the appeal comes from, but somehow the difference is rarely for the better and it manages never to be as good even an original rom in terms of usability. At the moment I would consider it the poorest choice out of the the popular roms.
Since you will probably ask, the biggest downfalls off the top of my head I had with MIUI is unrelenting and completely unsolvable battery drain issues. This alone makes the rom not worth taking seriously. Calendar, the way you set your alarm, messaging, contacts etc, having to press double or more buttons to get to particular areas the stock phone does in 1, little things like that.
Laggy menus is another one.
I dont even want to get into how bad this rom is with the camera. Horrendeus software, menus etc, recording upside down, and on top of that it completely incapacitated the video recording of the phone. VErsion 5.3 and the videos still record at 3fps and the frames jump back and forward every 2 seconds as well...
heres miui on a good day for you.
Are you the dev of this mods ?
thanks

hi there!
thanks for this! is there any way to implement the "tv-out"-settings into this as well? galnet is speaking about fixing/implementing it into MIUI, but atm he can't, since there is no option to enable tv-out on MIUI.
thanks!

Adding an extra option isn't that difficult. Getting that extra option to do what it's supposed to do is the tricky bit!!! )
If Galnet has managed to work out how to implement this feature I'm sure he's more than capable of adding an option to the settings menu but having said that I'm more than happy to help out if needed..

i understand that he can't test it because it's not in the settings menu..
I guess a "feet on the ground" option would be waiting for the official MIUI devs to support TV-out in future releases. Mind MIUI is still beta.
Any chance to get it working on 1.6.24?
I absolutely want to try it
Thx mate!
