[Q] Any way to port over themes from other Galaxy S phones?

Not sure if this has been posted yet but is it possible to port this over? I believe it was ported over to the Vibrant here in the states but not sure about it working on the Epic, being 4G and keyboard and all...

Any update on this? Man I wish had the talent to help you but I, like you, am on the hands of the Dec gods eagerly awaiting to see of this becomes a reality for us epic users

Cool deal dude, loved what you did with the blue minimalism theme and how it set the blueprint for the green minimalism theme! Hope you can get this to port on over to our side of things.

Does that offer go to me as well? I have done some theming for the moment and actually just used your dialer buttons in my current Epic project last night. Could always use a good resource for help and you seem to have good knowledge from my perusing of other phone themes.

Can you please keep working on this, cuz I think the other dude(thomasskull) just meant attempting to flash the current one (which does not work) instead of actually doing the port himself lol, i think....and if that is the case, please port this over, especially if its something you can accomplish fairly easily

It shouldn't be very hard its just time consuming. I don't mind spending the time but there's no sense in two people doing it. I was just taking him at his word that he was porting it. Let's see if he responds and let's us know what he's doing.

Its not that hard or time consuming considering how much I'm on my phone but I themed a launcher, dialer, contacts, vending, gtalk, calculator, tw framework and framework today.. All while taking the time out if my day to talk with tmo for 2.5 hours about how their service sucks...

this has been talked about multiple times before, a simple search would have yielded you an answer instead of making another post.
NO...cause Froyo's framework is different than Gingerbreads framework, and it is not possible. You'll have to wait for HTC to release GB for the Evo.

[Q] *Epic Developers&All, Please Read*

I don't know how many devs work with the Epic's Framework, but this much I do know; If certain Frameworks from other devices, such as the 'HTC Sense' Framework's widgets are restricted to having that framework, who says we can't edit Touchwiz's Framework or perhaps, creating an app in order to Spoof other frameworks, make it a running process, and therefore, fooling widgets from other devices onto our epics? If any devs see hope in this, count me on board and I'll try and make this a reality, I just can't do it alone. Who's in?

No. I'm not gonna be the forum rentacop, but don't title ur thread something like that. EVER. Everyone has important info to share, urs is not special.
On thread, I'm pretty sure someones though of this one time or another. The dev's are not stupid. I'm pretty sure there's propriety software/modules/idk that the frameworks depends on. Its not as easy as opening wordpad and replacing "com.htc" with "com.samsung" or whatever they may be.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Hm, perhaps you're right, either way. It was titled that way because I was offering to lay my cards down and commit to making it happen with the help of dev gurus. If they wanted to know my programming background, they would indeed be filled in on it. Thank you for your input though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Sense requires way more than just the framework to make it work. There are also driver dependecies that are required. In essence in order to port as you say, the 2 devices would have to have the same or simular device drivers which would mean having same or simular hardware which is why Sense 3.0 could be ported to the evo4g but not the epic.

Very informative and straight to the point. Thank you.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.

I'm very sorry but I think the point is being missed here. I'm not asking or suggesting a Sense port. Only a spoof in Touchwiz's Framework, or add-on coding in order to trick widgets from other frameworks.

If you read his post you definitely didn't comprehend it.I'm not going to type what he said all over again, all that matters is that what you want is not going to happen. It's either full port or nothing at all.

No.. I did comprehend it.. he did say more than framework was needed for a PORT I'm not looking for a port kid. I think it is you and the other poster who did not understand me, or ignorantly is choosing not to. Allow me to fix that by editing my original post even mentioning a port, as it was just that, a mention of ports and rules that follow it.

Kid? That kind of condescending attitude will not win many friends on these forums or in life.
The point is, you aren't going to be able to "spoof" sense to get sense widgets working. If you are so certain you are right and everyone is wrong then feel free to work on it but don't say we didn't warn you.

You weren't quite polite yourself. Lol. I guess I'll have to take a stab at it, because I believe this method to be overhyped as 'impossible.' cheers.

Actually I did understand that. My point is that you still need driver support to make the widgets receive the information they require to operate properly even if you are just trying to spoof the widgets.

My goal is to simply get the widget spoofed on there, as for the drivers etc, I'll worry about that later, nobody can deliver a product that's 100% finished.

Theres a couple parts to the framework. Framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and framework.jar.
Also the ui (touchwiz, sense, miui, motoblur) relies on those 3 files and things can be traced all the way to the kernel.
You need a direct port and that ain't easy. Theres no hacking around it

I see... I am assuming Rosie's Framework is not open source.. I'm uncertain behind the truth on a Video I saw from an XDA user who claimed to have ported sense on epic.. anyway that's what got me to poking around. It sure can't be easy, I say never impossible though! =)

I've been just giving it a lot of thought... that's all. It sure is nice to hear from you, I had downloaded your rom, but then odin'd back to EC05 because I didn't grab the right kernel, didn't want to risk losing Data settings from MetroPCS, on top of that I'm roaming so if I lose my settings, I'm screwed.

[REQUEST] AOKP/CM9 themes port

You could probably port it for personal use and not share if you know how but no one is going to port it for everyone as he made it very clear to not copy his images.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but it also say this in the op:
"It's impossible for me to make zip files for all phones/ROMs on xda, so please follow this simple guide to create the flashable zips yourself."
Wouldn't that make it OK for our themers to make us some flashables?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

no, because thats what he's saying not to do. If you know how to port them for personal use then its ok but do not post a port on XDA of it to share.

the top disclaimer is referring to people stealing his work and using it in their roms and claiming as their own or making money off it. But porting it to our AOKP and posting it here isn't an issue with him.

it might be uncool to port it, but it's not like you could get in any trouble for doing it. xda is about sharing. and sharing is caring. and putting a meaningless disclaimer at the top of a thread has no effect. at least legally... they're not even original pictures. he definitely doesn't have a "license" for them either. i highly doubt he either registered or was even able to obtain a copyright on a single one of the images used. plus he's in Canada, so any Canadian protections don't apply once he's sharing them with people in the U.S. Just sayin..
good find.

Oooor, you just PM the creator and ask if its ok to port it, and tell them that you'll give them special credit, and show them your thread when you're done. Its what I did for Blazing Blue Flame
~E.R.A.

LUCID looks wonderful. I might have to look into porting some of these (after making sure it is OK with the themer of course).

Well, he does not want anyone creating and distributing flashables. So I'm not going to bother.

That = ban. He says he has a license on his images, and he requests no public ports.
Want the theme? Port it yourself. Perfectly reasonable, especially if he wants to ever sell them(CM9 themes on market, for instance)

He created the themes, and I'm sure he put a lot of work them, so that is that.
The only problem I see is the troubles with getting the framework-res to recompile properly, however once the CM9 theme manager is merged and he releases the themes on the market or on XDA somewhere that will be a non issue.

~E.R.A.

i read through the thread, the op doesnt state anywhere not to port these themes, nor does it say not to make flashable zips. in fact, someone has ported the theme for the nexus s and nexus s4g and posted flashables to this post located in that same very thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25459699&postcount=58
that same person has stated that if you pull the framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk from your rom of choice he will post a flashable zip in his free time.
so, as usual, misinformation and straight up lies abound on xda. if you are up to porting these themes to the epic, its a go, i think that all sonny wants is full credit for the themes and images, and that you link back to his original post like the other guy did.
sonny also states in a later post in the thread, that if you arent up to decompiling the apks yourself you'll need to find someone else to do it for you and "that person is not me."

... misinformation... explain why when tbob asked sonny if he could port the theme.. he denied him permission.

Bumping your thread isnt going to make a reply come quicker, you do realize people read more than just the first page of threads?
But anyhow, the answer is no. "Hold back to kill" is a ROM specific tweak. It is hard coded into android source code by CyanogenMod. I have however had an idea for "hold back to kill" app where the app listens for a Hold search broadcast, then kills the foreground app. But until someone makes something like that. The only way to get Hold back to kill is by flashing a CM ROM.

wow i do appreciate your answer. it's nice to see someone adding a littke A to the Q that actually has knowledge on what i was speaking about. nobody else answered because they mostly had no idea what i was talking about. and not to start an argument but I've takin your bumps not needed approach for the few years ive been here and im not exaggerating when i tell you there were many that floated to a back page to sit forever. most peoples idea is that the further back the post is either there is no answer or its an answer there prolly not going to have the answer for since nobody else has by that point. but trust me i see your angle. thanks for your reply and im gonna keep researching on this because I'm almost positive it can be added, it's just how much work is going to be involved and can i do it lol. thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

It can be added. Ive got it on my list of mods that i want to get around to adding here. Its a mod that requires decompiling a couple of apk/jar files and editing the code. It is one of the few that haven't been added to any of our stock roms so ill probably bump it up the list a bit. We shall see.

I dont think thats possible. Its a ROM source code tweak. As in the source code is changed. So far ive only heard of CM and MIUI Roms having this. Just google it, im sure if it was possible someone would have already done it. I mean it requires editing the complete layout of the settings window. Unless you just change a jar file to listen for the hold back and then have it kill it.
But if you know how to do it, can you share what files need to be edited? Ive seen this question pop up almost everywhere and even ROM devs say its only possible via kitchen. But hey you learn something new every day

I could swear ive seen it ported to other stock roms such as sense and tw. Been a few months since i last looked into it though. Gotta go to work so ill try to find the info for you later today.

It may have been ported. But they may have used a kitchen. Like I've seen stock ROMs have it but I've never seen a ROM without it get it added without cooking a new ROM. But I'll be hitting refresh awaiting the information! ^-^ thanks!
