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.)
can anyone tell me how to add this to any rom ? i have seen these options in quite a few roms, but don't know what i need to be able to achieve this.
thanx
I'm interested as well. I saw the thread with the mod the other day before cooking my ROM and lost it. Haven't found it yet.
You can find a flashable version of it here :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776679
in second post.
I use it in almost all ROM's I test.
android.policy.jar
ah thanx guys.
btw does anyone know which and what *.smali file you need to edit to achieve the above result ? i would rather do it myself to my own classes.dex than using the virusrom one. (unless i absolutely have too)

+1 Bump. I would like to know this also.
Is there a flashable zip to return the rosie back to STOCK? The Rosie I have is "expresso" with modifications (far left button being remapped to Internet). Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to revert this back?
thanks in advance

Yes...I'm aware of that mod---but how do u disable it?--I also dont want the expresso Rosie---I want the stock Rosie
-ZDK-
The reason I cited that thread is that (I'm fairly certain) I saw a stock Rosie available for flashing. It was posted somewhere in the in the middle of the thread.

Hmmm, sorry about that. I know I've seen a stock Rosie flash on one of those threads. If I run across it, I'll let you know.
You could always roll-your-own pretty easily. Just download one of the mods from the thread I posted, download a ROM with a stock Rosie, unpack and switch the Rosie from the ROM for the one in the mod. Flash and should be good (Nandroid first just in case, of course).
I too would like a flashable zip that would revert to stock rosie.
i.e. from myn's warm rosie to stock rosie.

I'd like to know as well.
Wow...ok---can someone at least tell me then how to pull a stock Rosie from another ROM and then insert it in the ROM I have now? (step by step please---I am willing to learn---but maybe unfamiliar with the terms)
thanks

Peace HoneyBfly,
sent you a PM---question tho---do you know if it will change the ROM that I have? I currently am trying out Calk's ROM and its so heavily modded that I'm worried it will change the mods that he already has on there.

Does Calk's ROM uses color menus? If so, yes...it changes the MENU where it reads all apps, scenes, wallpaper, notifications, settings & Add to Home to the standard gray other than that no. This is strictly the Stock Rosie APK all zipped up so that it can be flashed.
I would suggest you do a NAND Backup 1st of your ROM and then flash the ZIP, see if there were any changes and if not...YIPEEEE!! But if you don't like it, you can always restore.

Hey J...I can definitely say it works because I have flashed this myself. The only thing that will change is the color menu on the main screen if you are on one of the ROMS that has it. Color icons are easy to put back in though. I'm a NOOB but figured out most of this stuff on my own.
Still waiting to TEST this---I think before I flash this I need to UNHACK the mod Calk placed on his Rosie---to avoid my phone going into bootloops. He has modded the far right key modded to be the internet. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove this mod ?

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!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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...
Click to collapse
Installation
The attached ZIP file contains
ToggleBar.apk
android.policy.jar
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.
2nd - Reboot your device
Now you´ve got a new option to hide allow hiding the statusbar under Settings -> Display
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exemplary use for end-users
- Install SwipePad from the Market
- Setup SwipePad to launch ToggleBar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have fun hide your system bar where its not needed
NOTE FOR DEVS
Please read the diff.txt to adopt changes for your own rom.
Dont forget to give credits to [email protected] for his work on this mod!!

Check out my tutorial How to turn off your screen (e.g. while plugged into hdmi)
v 0.5
- initial release
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
v 1.0
- add new settings to the display section to permanent hide the status bar
- based on Maxime's CombinedBar auto hide feature for ICS CM9
- no more need to kill systemUI
- no known issues

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.

You can, at least, launch the included app to toggle visibillity

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.

How to enable volume key wake up in sense ROM [2.3.5], heard that we need to edit android plicy .jar, could anyone say the procedure to edt and make it Volume key wake up enable?????

It's a build.prop tweak for sense but I don't have it with me now.

It's more than just a build.prop tweak.
Someone mentioned android.policy.jar and that is correct.
You also have to modify the keyboard layout files.
Take apart WildChild ROM for a reference, or else just scour the XDA forums for specifics (search on "smali editing", which is what you'll need to do for the aforementioned .jar file)
Good luck,
True now I remember

Hi there,
I'm using your Wildchild 2.0 ROM (great work, BTW....:good and I was just wondering if there's a noob-proof way to disable the unlock-with-volume-keys function: phone keeps waking up while it's in my pocket, and battery dries up
TIA

2. Modify the file "marvel-keypad.kl" by removing the following lines:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
(Delete the entire lines)
3. Perform the same mod on the file "qwerty.kl"
4. Reboot.
5. If works, click Thanks and buy me a beer. If you're short on time, just buy me a beer.
