Can someone help me out? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone make me a metamorph theme that will just make the pulldown notifications black with white text? I found a theme that did it but it changed alot of other stuff and thats the only thing i dislike. Im not sure if it would have to be a theme or just something flashable. Any help would be great
Or even just take a piece out of uncommon sense? I believe its just straight white that creates unneeded battery drain

Im not 100% sure this goes in this section but it seemed development-ish to me

This belongs in the themes and apps section. To quickly answer your question, HTC made this a real PITA for sense. AOSP can be done easily, but try searching for roms and themes for the evo and the dinc. You will quickly notice that not one sense mod (evo and dinc) has this implementation. I have been able to do it with very inconsistent results.

[Q] Themes for LeeDroid

Hi
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place or whatever.
I'm looking for themes for LeeDroid 2.1, I thought that this would be a good place to put them all here. Specifically I'm looking for a straight up espresso bar mod, and I'm interested what else works with LeeDroid
Me too
+1 for this request
Are there any known working themes, because the ugly white ico of gmail and sms's is just too ugly...
Thanks for helping us ;-)
themes made for the official htc froyo update will work with leedroid, have you tried making your own , using the dr droid online kitchen?
I have indeed had a look at the excellent Dr Droid kitchen, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but indeed nice. I'm not too fussed with changing Sense's icons, especially since the OTA recently added some colour.
What I would like to do however, is get the espressobar and some other Launcher type theming, that still enable the full use of Sense's widgets, my Clock and News widgets are going NOWHERE thanks.
Trouble that I've found with the espressobar is that I can't find a solid straight up version for 2.2, correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I can't see it.

Hi, i am currently mixing this 2 gorgeous themes

Im not exactly sure what you mean by straight up espresso bar but theres a thread for it at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705967&highlight=MOD+espresso
Hope this helps!
I forgot to mention theres a minimalist bar as well from the simplism theme
Those two themes would go nice together for sure, the whole custom icon for each app is good, but it does take a lot of work, besides I adore Sense's icons.
Yeah, I've studied the thread you linked before, that's what I want, just EspressoMod, for both home and lock/call screens, butit's for 2.1 as far as I can tell.
And why adb? What's wrong with an Update.zip
I'd be happy to test your theme once complete, as long as there are no reboot loops lol! I LOATH reboot loops! Give me an e-mail when it's done or just for whatever! Should be in my profile.

Hi there,
I didnt realise it was a 2.1 but if you read all the way back, they ported it for 2.2 already and packed as a zip. Should work on the latest leedroid 2.1 as well since all my theme files I used is from all the way back since 1.6

As usual, do a Nandroid backup before applying anything.

[Q] Can you theme HTC Sense with rooted EVO?

I really tried searching around, but I can't seem a straight answer. I just bought the Evo, my first Android phone coming from Windows Mobile and webOS.
I rooted my Evo using the Unrevoked software and instructions followed from this website. Can the Sense UI be skinned? I would like to explore this if it's possible with my current ROM. I remembered how easy it was to skin the TouchFlo 3D ui in Windows Mobile, but I don't think that's the same in this case.
I tried different ROMS, but they seem to strip a lot of the software that I don't mind having. I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me into the right direction.
Thanks again!
Yup, you can.
Take an HTC Sense rom you want to theme and goto system/framework/htc.resources.apk
I've been working on this for a little bit and it appears that the framework icons(ie notification bar icons, buttons, etc) are split between the two.
Hope this helps

Take a look at my ROM probably not themed as much as you would like but its a start.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767813
Take a look into Metamorph, that's probably the easiest way, and right up your alley for what you want to do. Themeing is time-consuming and labor intensive, no matter what method you use to do it (especially if you start messing with the infamous .9.png's) so don't get too frustrated.
Search for the threads about MM and the .9's and you'll be on your way.

[THEME] [MOD] Project-Intercept

I'm going to be undertaking the task of taking the default sprint theme placed on the Samsung Intercept and modding it to the original default white android theme found on most commonly Motorola Droids.
I originally had the idea of doing this since this phone seems to not be too common among the android community, and for people like myself who do not want to ROM or flash the mods to the phone it is near impossible to find any MetaMorph or NinjaMorph compatible mods for it. So I decided to take a step up and start on my own little project because I personally think the stock theme seems like a generic cheap theme, and I prefer the default android theme.
In the future if this mod is successful I may undertake one converting to the HTC android theme as well and possibly package it into a full MetaMorph once I gain experience.
Attached below are the images of what I plan to convert the theme too which is going to be starting with just the statusbar and notification and battery icons. First image is the stock intercept theme, the second is the original android theme I will be modding it to and the third is the stock HTC theme which will be coming later on.
I'm experiencing weird issues when trying to replace the status bar with the Droid one it refuses to replace the png, however the HTC statusbar replacement works perfectly using NinjaMorph. I'm going to try flashing the modified droid instead and see if that gets me somewhere
Why can't you just download a stock ROM and get the framework-res there?
Got the files I needed out of it and I'm getting ready to apply the files also working on getting a stock HTC ROM as well now thanks zHk3R
Edit: I just tried using NinjaMorph to replace the statusbar png with the droid one and it failed to change it even though it said it was successful but when I applied the HTC statusbar png it worked perfectly the first time strange
This projects basically dead. I hate this phone beyond what words can describe, the whole "customized" android ROM Samsung put on this phone makes me feel like I'm running a cheap rip off smartphone. There is no stock ROMs or un-customized ones to the point where they are all even more bloated than this pos stock ROM.Backing up this phone is impossible, metamorphs don't work on it and ninjamorph doesn't work properly on it. I wish I didn't have another few months left before my upgrade I can't wait to get rid of this thing. And to top it all off It is impossible to access recovery mode I've tried both my phone and my brothers intercept and both can not be booted into recovery mode unless I use an app while inside android. I'll be back on here when I can find a non piece of crap android phone from Sprint.

Check over at SDX-Developers There has been many changes for the Intercept that will make rethink the Intercept. There has been several ROMs built and many themes are being ported. I've been porting several and made a few.
I've been over there and tried the roms available and it was a disaster. The level of respect I got from members over there was terrible as well they were not willing to help at all and ignored several questions that were asked. It was just plain rude and I ultimately left that site behind after not being satisfied with the mods available and the people there.

sorry to hear that. I have never been disrespect there. But I do know that questions will not get answered right away if the questions you are asking have been answered already. It gets real annoying when no one reads just asks questions and complains. When 90% of the time the problem or question you have somebody already had it or asked about it. And as far as not being satisfied with the mods available there, then you're pretty much out of luck because that is where all the ROMs, Themes, and MODs are coming from for the Intercept. But for another place where the people are nice and helpful is ubuntdroid.com and there is great development for the Intercept there.
Yeah for sure it got too be extremely stressful and just not worth the time to continue to be on the forum over there. I'm going to be trying some metamorphs from around the forums here to see if they are working or not on it, It was just to the point where my questions that were not previously asked where being ignored in order for someone to bash a new person asking a question that was easily answerable by a search. Guess I'm just on a break for now on making progress with this phone.

Well I'm not sure if metamorphs are going to work on the intercept. But if all you're trying to do is theme then all you need to do is be deodexed and then you can make themes & just flash them. I've been porting and making themes for sometime on the intercept. I'll be releasing a port of the BUUF theme for the intercept tonight. After you get a hang of themeing it kinda turns into an addiction. It becomes easy but time consuming

I'm not sure I've got a backup done all I pretty much plan to do with the metamorphs is change out the statusbar and the icons up there with it, and possibly the app icons. I'm just taking a break from it since it's just caused me a ton of un-needed stress from the mess over at sdx. I'm going to try the metamorphs this weekend and see what the deal is with them.

Like I was saying to do that you don't have to metamorph. Just be deodexed then make the changes then flash the new themed template with the new changes. I know it would be nice to have metamorph working but unless youre a developer and plan switching a lot of stuff to get it to work I say more power to you and can't wait to see if you get it done
I'm not a developer so I won't be able to get it to work more than likely. Thanks for the advice and saving me the trouble of possible messing my phone up with metamorph, so for the deodexed template I just have to replace the images I want and flash it through inxane's recovery as I would a normal rom correct? Again appreciate the help man

Flash the deodexed stock template thru inxaxne recovery. This will keep everything stock but makes it so you can edit everything and not have fc's everywhere. Then flash the deodexed template you made with the changes you did. If you can't get. Just get yourself deodexed then pm with what you want changed then I could make the changes and set it up in a flashable zip. But try it first its not hard. But ALWAYS make backups just in case. And remember that if you can still boot your phone into recovery then you can still fix it

Alright sounds good I'll work on replacing the images and backing up everything on my phone then. I already made a theme to flash but I lost it on my laptop when I wiped it last night. I've got no problem with making the flashable theme so again thanks for the help.

Ok cool give it a try and let me know. Remember to make the png changes to the deodexed template and you don't have to unzip it just open archive with 7zip and drag the pngs you want to change, make sure they have the same file name. And if you need help just pm here or thru sdx. I check both often.

Bumping for status update - extremely interested in this project.
what kind of update are you looking for? if you want the htc sense theme for the intercept?.. this has already been done. and if you want the stock white just ask I could possible have that done for you. if you are familiar with sdx(im pretty sure i've seen there) then search there for intercept themes and you'll find the samsense theme port by wwsean08

By status update I meant where OP was on his project of bringing the stock white Android theme to the Intercept, which is what I've been looking for. I've attempted porting the files myself but had a few hangups. My main concerns is porting the Statusbar and notification area entirely, including its status icons (battery, connectivity, ect).
The re-visioned theme Samsung/Sprint put on the Intercept just looks so... cheap. The lockscreen, for example, was the cheapest looking excuse for a lockscreen I've seen since Windows NT. Replacing *that*, however, was easy thanks to SDX.
And yeah, I go to SDX :3 Between XDA and SDX, it's Android heaven.
Apologies for the lack of updates I haven't gotten a chance to start working on the theme I've been pretty busy lately I just need to figure out how to change the date and time text in the statusbar to black since it will show up as invisible if I were to use the original android statusbar so I can't move forward until I figure that part out.

I couldn't agree more with you on that the stock theme on this phone looks even cheaper than some of the non-smartphones I've seen around which isn't saying much, the lock screen is why I use the pattern lock I just liked the pattern to begin with so it worked out good. Hopefully this theme works since it's the only reason I tried to flash ubuntdroids rom in the first place

[Q] [MOD] Running Sense Rom w/ 3 Home Screens

I happen to be one of those rooters who still enjoys the Sense UI over an AOSP base.
However, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the amount of home screens I have. My daily is Myn's RLS4 and with Sense I find myself only really using 3-5 home screens and basically fill the other 2 with widgets just so they are not blank. I wouldn't mind them if I have to, but it's possible my phone would run a little quicker and save some battery if I were able to limit the amount of home screens and focus on using the apps for the info when I need it rather than have the widgets constantly running.
I'm not sure if there is a way to integrate a Miui or ADW/Launcher Pro method of controlling how many screens we have, but I think it's not far out of the ballpark.
I searched through the forums for about an hour looking for any info, but didn't find anything. Please post a link if this has been discussed already.

Seriously though, when I first got the Evo, I was like yeah seven screens your other phones suck. Now I just want 3, maybe 5.

Hey bud not sure if you noticed, but this is not the Q&A section. Questions are to be asked in Q&A.
....really you cant change that in the sense options somewhere? Just another reason Sense is lame, imo.
LauncherProPlus, FTW!!! I got one homescreen, and 15 icons in my dock, not to mention swype gestures, and running CM6 so i have lockscreen gestures as well...
My Evo > Sense UI

Hey buddy, this is a development question. It was more of a suggestion of an idea that I had not seen before more than a question about something that exists.
The community is about making better devices, apps, etc. for all and there's no need to waste your time posting a reply about being in the wrong section. If it is violating anything, the mods can move it.
Moved to Q&A as this is a [Q]. The Android Development threads are for software coding/releases.
Bump. Nothing on this yet?
Any info would be nice.
Thanks

Would love some guidance on this, hoping the # of homescreens config is held in a file somewhere and someone with a rooted phone can edit it?

[REQ] Port of WhiteMochi to Froyo/ACS.

My first post...been lurking around for a while.
I feel like this would probably be pretty simple for someone who knew more about what to do.
I tried flashing the zip, then tried using reframe.sh (through android terminal emulator) to reboot into just the framework, then tried editing the framework-res.apk by adding files and moving files to match other Froyo framework-res.apk files...but all of those things failed.
I didn't really anticipate my actions would have the desired effect, but I was trying.
I don't know what would have to be done. If it's simple and someone would be willing to update this for Froyo, I'd appreciate it. I think some others would as well.
In addition, if anyone could point me in the direction of some learning material for this kind of stuff, not just how to theme but also maybe some development guides for beginners, I would appreciate that as well.
Then I could just do this type of thing myself in the future.
Here's the link to an xda thread with WhiteMochi v0.003: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843204
Thanks in advance.
Think alot of themers on the Epic prolly got their start here using Dream's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638

Haha I didn't. But a good guide never hurts.
Do you want the lockmod installed along side?
What exactly do you mean by the lockmod?
My current rom uses the AOSP lockscreen by default so it shouldn't be an issue, right?

I meant maddoggins lockmod for EC05. It includes 6 different locks.
Oh, no. I tried to install it but was having issues getting it to work.
The one straight from the lockmod thread didn't work (FC when trying to view Lockscreen Settings), I found a working version in the framework included with the Nebula rom/theme but didn't like the status bar.
I was under the impression the WhiteMochi just used the AOSP, or were you asking for another reason?

Haha I can make you a version of nebula with a different colored notification bar if you'd like.
I'm sure it uses the AOSP lock. I was just asking if you wanted me to implement the 6 lock.
If you could get the 6lock in with the Mochi that'd be sweet, but it's not necessary for me.
Would be a huge plus though, hahah.
Still looking for anyone willing to possibly port this over to Froyo/SRF.
I'm mainly just looking for a white status bar without a gaudy notification pulldown and attractive icons.
I tried FrostPort v1.2 but personally disliked the status bar icons (all of them).
I noticed that the Galaxy Prevail (the new prepaid Boost Android phone) has a nice white framework, so even a port of that would be killer.
I read up on theming and I have a basic understanding of what to do, it doesn't seem overly difficult. Only issue with me is that I work 5-6 days a week long hours so I don't always have time to devote to studying up/getting in practice...especially as of late.
I have two days off coming up which I'll most likely wind up devoting the bulk of to learning how to theme (devoted my last two days off to my phone as well...don't know how to feel about that).
In the meantime, however...once again...if anyone is up to the task, have at it. I would appreciate it, and I know others would too.
I'd like to see this theme... Where can I see screen shots of the original theme? I have no knowledge of Android Theming or anything. But if there's a pretty good guide, and by pretty good I mean something that will SHOW me how to do it, then I could give it a try. But I'm more visual so a walk through that's text only won't help.
This seems like its AOSP straight to the bone seriously just use the AOSP ROM, whats honestly different?
When trying to flash it via Clockwork it says "Amend script was disabled in this version" or some such thing, and then says "Installation Aborted".
Using reframe.sh causes the phone to not boot (sticks on boot anim).
