Change theme of Android build on Diamond?

Hi all
I have recently installed Android on my Diamond, and is the Android built by Cyanogen.
I wonder is it possible to change the original theme please?
I have read some threads, and seems like changes themes in ordinary Android phones require rooting.
So does the same apply to our Android on Diamond please>?
Many thanks

I tried to apply simplistic 1.1 using superfroyo rc2
But the themes requires cyanogen 6 and so caused the phone app to crash each second and i wasn't able to press reboot and apply theme button in metamorph
Maybe the problem was because I didn't used cyanogen

haven't tried it yet...since I am using SuperFroyo now, and I have installed quite a lot of apps, so need to find a way to back them up first.
By the way, have you read this site ever? Think he is one of the guy who creates the themes.
http://ultralinx.blogspot.com/
And what I am trying to say is, what he has done is in fact using different wallpaers and widget on desktop, like SwitchPro, BattStatt, Genie Widget,, etc, and the dock bar, he is simply using MnmlText, which you can find a similar one called SimplyText, and I guess u can download this simplytext for free, and change the icons on dock in LaucherPro preference.
So all I am trying to say is, we can still generate the same appearance with little bit effort, like change colors, wallpaper and icons manually.
(My opinion only, surely the guy might have put a lot effort on the theme.)

If the theme has the settings apk then that is your problem. Or if you are running senseless that will also break it. Sense has to be installed and running to change it. Or you can do what I did and make the needed smalia edits so the personalize will still work without sense being installed

[MOD][ROOT][ICS]Hide Status Bar (updated 11.02.)

How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)​
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.
Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".
As usual, you are solely responsible if you brick your device!!! Install this Hack at your own risk!!!

The Hack is tested on [ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0 (umts_everest). Let others know if you have experiences with other roms. I´ll update this post after ur feedback.
Requirements:
MOD
- a rooted Xoom
- attached ZIP file (all credits to [email protected])
HOW TO
- SwipePad https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android
Click to expand...

Installation
The attached ZIP file contains
ToggleBar.apk

Settings.apk
1st - Install ToggleBar.apk and replace:
/system/framework/android.policy.jar
/system/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
using RootExplorer or equivalent or use ADB to push.

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.

There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.

Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.

new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu

Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.

Thread Moved.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.

Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

That would be a feature for a custom rom. Just request the dev of your favorite custom rom to included this mod

There is no way to return to home screen from most applications so the only way to exit is to reboot - bunk. Uninstalled.

notifications wont work, lockscreen still the same

If you are nervous about rooting (or, in my case, can't because a custom recovery's not out yet for CDMA), and don't mind clogging up your storage with another ~20MB of stuff, you can just download an ICS imitation launcher from the Play store. Looks almost like the real thing.
For examples, search for "ICS launcher". If you want the lockscreen too, "Go Launcher EX"+"Go Locker"+"Go Locker ICS Locker theme"+"Home Manager"(for swapping ICS in place of Go Launcher) will do it, albeit at the cost of even more storage. Above combo runs pretty smooth on my phone, and the ability of the ICS launcher to customize home screen grid size, I must say, is a sweet feature.

I tried it, but it can only remove the stock launcher, when i install ics notifications and settings, the notificatiohn bar, is gone, also you can't remove lockscreen, so its just the launcher that you can replace

Disabling the stock clock/weather screen on the KLD

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

OK, thanks. So basically, without rooting, there is NO WAY in KLD software to get rid of that screen, right?

If you want to use that launcher then no, you can use other launchers without rooting tho.

Can you suggest any, instead of just saying change the Launcher?

I use car launcher. Others use nova or next.
It's so easy to do that you could try out any with high ratings till you find one you like.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!

Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

I second this. Nova Launcher works great. I use the stock clock widget and a weather widget from 1Weather and it suits my needs.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.
