[Theme] Trial by Fire -Stericson's Final theme....[Updated] 01/11/2009

Before getting started I need to thank some people who have hlped me with this project or offered help to me. These people can be seen as contributors to this project, and I am grateful for their help.

Major thanks to Manup465 as he provided the status bar, the bottom notification bar, and the app bar used in one of the backgrounds. Thanks alot for your help Manup465!
Major thanks to Necromancer as he came up with the idea of replacing the fonts on the phone, between the two of use we were able to do it! Thanks alot man!
Also, before we get started, you will need root, and Jesusfreke's Mod rc30 installed(1.3), Mod ADP1(Actually, I would think that this would work on the default ADP), or Mod RC8(1.3) MAKE SURE IT'S V1.3!!!.
THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
While I highly doubt it will, it still could!
If you are going to do this, I very highly URGE you to install the G1 engineering bootloader. With this installed, if something does go wrong, your phone is salvageable!

G1 Engineering bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
With all that said an done I can get rid of that bold font.
This is a very simple process thanks to Jesusfreke helping me understand how to make an update.zip file which will work with his mod rc30 update.
Simply download the file, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S.
Once it says its done, reboot the phone and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any problems at all!
Let me know what you want to see in the next release, be reasonable I'm not a master image maker, and android does some strange things to some images.
Let me know if something seems out of place, or wrong.
I will try to resolve all issues as quick as I can.
Take a look at the pictures!
This theme comes with both the standard wallpaper shown and the wallpaper with the app bar provided by Manup465. These wallpapers are in the wallpaper gallery.

Besides the obvious visual differences, what else has changed or been modified/fixed/etc? I think i like your other theme better, and if there is little or nothing changed behind the scenes i think ill stick with it. Great work though guys, another original looking theme!

Awesome theme!!!!

Ouch...hope im not hit with that. But at least you can now update to JF's RC 30v1.3, and try again

momentary, message me on gtalk...I want you to try something
[email protected]
Pablizzo, I made some corrections added some fixes changed the magnifying icons and the look thats about it. It does contain bug fixes though....

same ol same
hey stericson its the same ordeal this theme is soooo sick man and i cant even flash it

success
hey i flashed the rc30 1.3 and then your theme and it worked yes! great theme

For anyone having ANY issues flashing the phone (or if you freeze up).
Take the card out and use an adaptor (or at least this is how I did it) to install JF's new 1.3 version for the phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466174
Once you do that, just reboot and then install the theme as shown above. Just did it and it looks AWESOME

Anyones device who froze at the g1 screen I believe the problem was that you run out of space on the device, causing some programs from getting flashed over, which would cause your phone not to boot. Installing JF's rc30 V1.3 fixes this by drastically increasing /systems free space.

Amen! With this and JF's update, I feel like I just got a new phone! The thought put into detail is amazing!

thanks for the new theme! working great so far. loving the new icons 8)

Stericson you did it again!! the main system icons are changed and i love them! your theme keeps getting better and better
for those who are missing Browser from the previous theme:
I installed JF's 1.3 then Stericson's new theme and the browser came back. I dont know if its the new theme or the order of installation.

NOTE:
For anyone getting "stuck" at the Android screen, you need the NON-ADP1 version of JF1.3. This is written for that version and NOT for the developer version.
Got stuck in a loop and didn't realize why until I did a little hunting.
Did I mention I ****LOVE**** this theme????

Ok this may be a dumb question but i have everything installed on my g1 you say is needed. One question though, i have never put a theme on g1 yet, do i need to have a previous theme installed for new one to work or can i just put this on right now?

Should work without wiping...has for everyone else. If it doesnt, just do a wipe manually.
BTW, A version of my theme for ADP1 has been released

Just installed this on my g1 after recently downgrading to rc29 then installing modded tc8 then installed jf 1.3 adp1. This theme went on no probs and didnt even have to wipe!!.
Nice work

browser icon
Is there a way to install theme and push the auto rotate browser and keep the new theme icon?

On v1.3 it wont i have tried it with the auto rotate browser i made edit to for my theme and nothing.
@Stericson
Do you know if the pics bug is the build or the themes problem? I am having this problem when you scroll the pics it goes down a little bit then resets,it does it all the time an I think its the theme that frame around the pics but where is that part in framework-res?
Oh an i think said this before this theme is HOT!!!!!

So maybe Stericson can help me. Everytime I load a new theme, and I have Koush's Auto-rotate browser set up, I lost my browser function. I can push the browser back, but then the browser icon returns to the stock icon (which sucks if you're using manup's blue theme) Anyone else having this problem?

manup's blue theme is the only one that has survived since manup has taken the auto rotate browser and applied the icon change. you can download the file here ://www.mediafire.com/?0wtm3mlntzj (file is on post #66 from blue theme thread)
change it the name to browser.apk and place on sd card and follow the steps to push it thru.
I have not found the flame theme browser icon update yet, so for now I am sticking to the blue theme until someone comes up with it unless I learn how to do it myself.

Wallpapers and JF ver. 1.41 with multi-touch

I have lost my original Stericson Blue Theme due to JFver 1.41 update.
Two of the replacement themes I have installed wipe the Multitouch Browser.
While the multi touch is more or less a gimmick I can live without, I would like to still have it because 7 of my coworkers have G1s and I have the only hacked one, and they are jealous of my themes and multitouch.
Is it possible to have themes w/multitouch capabilities and if so, how?

There are themes compatible with JFv1.4x ADP1/RC30, so yes, it is possible. Not sure about that particular theme though, Stericson's Blue theme.

I had the same problem but I deleted the browser.odex file rebooted and the Multitouch Browser worked

Furthermore,
I have also noticed that with 1.41 installed su works fine in Terminal Emulator, but as soon as I install a theme I get:
$ su
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.koushikdutta.superuser/com.koushikdutta.superuser.Sup
uperuserRequestActivity} does not exist.
su: permission denied
$
If I go back and reinstall ver. 1.41 I can get su back.
This was the problem I ran into trying to delete the browser.odex per the instructions on one of the themes.

I also tried to use apps that require root acess.
Like Task Manager for Root Users. It fails due to lack of root access after installing a theme.

This info is in the General Theme/Wapaper thread.
Both problems are due to outdated apk's in the theme.
Browser.apk from an old theme will break your multitouch browser and superuser.apk isn't new enough so you "lose root"
Try fadetoblue. It works great with 1.41 RC30.

Thank you for your response.
I guess I will have to wait till most of the Theme developers manage to update the .apks with the lastest elements.
I am having trouble d/ling the Android SDK so I can try my own themes.

EEEERRRRKKKKK! Hold on..... The blue theme you are refferring to is not mine....That theme is called Blue Star 5, and was made by my good friend MANUP. Please, Please make sure he gets the credit for his hard work.
Thanks,
Stericson

There are two solutions to your problem:
1. You can replace the browser.apk and superuser.apk in you favorite theme with the updated ones (JFv1.41). You'll have to re-sign the .apk's and the .zip before installing. (You can even go in and swap the icons/graffics)
2. Extract the updated browser.apk and superuser.apk from JFv1.41 and adb push them on to your phone. (replacing the old/outdated ones)
I did option 1 when JFv1.41 first came out using manup's Vintage War theme and it worked perfectly.

Sorry Manup, Sorry Stercison
Because I couldn't find the original theme, I guess I assumed it was you stericson.
Manup, If you could update Star5 I would be grateful.
As to updating it myself, I am having no luck downloading the SDK, I have all the other plugin/java apps, but can't get to the downloads, for some reason, I am having trouble connecting to gl.download.com.
Even if I had it, I dunno If i have the expertise yet to edit a theme file.

I have everything you need in my signature, uploaded to mediafire. See if you can download from there. I can on g1.

Thanks stats555 you're a life saver. I will do that when I get home.
Much appreciated. Been having internet issues on my desktop since I did a fresh
windows install in my computer.

I did already.

Awsome.
Can you please bump the thread for me or post a link here? I was not exactly sure what it is called because I installed it way back in december I think. The one with hitchhikers guide big headed android clock.

Multitouch in BUUF theme
Stats555 please can u upload the BUUF 3.0 theme with the working multitouch browser. I have no idea how to even begin. I just rooted and put the theme yesterday and the multitouch was gone.

Themes/Morphs for AOSP 2.2 OTA Froyo

I've been trying to install Morphs or a blackbar for the new (rooted) OTA Update. I'm using the ROM that was (claimed to be in the thread) deodexed (look here: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620). I've either had boot loops or blank screens after boot. Have you guys managed to get any morphs to work? I'm just looking for a smooth black statusbar.

I'm guessing (since you didn't post a link to the theme) that it flashes services.jar in /system/framework, if you remove that and edit the xml accordingly it will work, but the time will remain black. You'll need to manually edit your services.jar to fix that.

I tried flashing themes that were CM6 compatible (Simplicity), and just the browser and the framework_res.apk. I haven't tried any others.

And those bootlooped? It's probably a much better idea to get support in the release threads for those themes.

Good idea. Thanks!

i just downloaded that build you posted a link too and it is still odex'd unless you deodexed it yourself or something

bump!
Sorry to bump this, but I'm also looking for a themed version of the 2.2.1 OTA rom, but in particular i want the black bar with white letters, such as the Community Hero Mix has. Is there something like this? Aside from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848791, because I prefer the green on black and a simple OTA rom

List Of Working Themes for I9305

Just thought i'd make a list of themes that were working on our i9305's maybe this could be updated/stickied.
Working/Tested - Stock ROM
None as of yet
Working/Tested - Modified ROM
MotoMoto Blue Theme
Not Working
???
I will update this as i test themes, and other users do the same as of writing this i have only tired MotoMoto theme.

Yes I was just going to let you know that MotoMoto works, Just to be safe I just Removed the FmRadio stuff out of it ZIP just incase it messes something up, but i dont think it would, if it doesnt find the file i think it skips updating the apk, so should be ok
But yeh I Flashed perfectly. No problems at all I actually like this theme
Before you flash it would be better to make sure you look at the updater_script to check mount points and also what script/setup is being used

Could we not make a unified install script based on this one, to work with other themes that "may not" work?

I think it depends how the themer has setup up his mod, if its the same kind of setup type it should be very easy, Well how about who ever is wondering about a theme mod just put requests in this thread and one of us should hopefully be able to look into it for you or who ever

Doesn't belong in dev. Moved to themes.

Can someone please test and confirm if these theme work on XXALI9

[MOD][23 OCT]Pulldown Notification Torch With Simplistic Battery % Mod [3.57.401.500]

EDIT: I've re-written this entire post because it got a bit messy and I don't think I explained things very well! Plus I messed up and uploaded the file as an APK and not a ZIP!
I've re-wiped my phone completely because I managed to get it into a muddle! I fully flashed ARHD30.0 & InsertCoin 3.0.5 and I was still getting gapps FC messages and apparently it's a known / common thing so I wiped the SD and everything, allowed Sense to have G+ access and now it's playing nice again! This was without even flashing my MOD! So something went squiffy!
Anyway:
This MOD has been tested on InsertCoin 3.0.5 which is based on the 3.57.401.500 ROM so it may work on other ROMs as well but I can't be certain. I did try this on ARHD30.0 and for some reason when I pressed the torch option it didn't work. Nothing seemed to happen. It could be because /system isn't mounted as RW or the flashlight APK is different or there's a file deny permission to the location where it writes the LED brightness to, I'm not sure yet but will see what it is if I get chance. It works fine on InsertCoin 3.0.5.
All you need to do is download the zip, flash it in recovery and then reboot your phone back into Sense 5.5 for the torch icon to appear and work.
When you pull down the notification tab there's a torch icon next to the quick settings button. You can tap this up to 3 times to increase the flash brightness levels. Pressing a 4th time will turn the torch off again.
I preferred this method because it doesn't just call the HTC Torch application, it actually does control the torch on and off.
I usually run ViperOne but I'm waiting for their sense 5.5 update so decided to throw this together as I like a lockscreen torch type thing!
Usual disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible for boot-looping your phone so please flash at your own risk and make a nandroid before you do!
Please remember to thank me if you think this is any good / you use it! I may change the icon / spacing as I'm not 100% sure I like it at the moment.
Cheers,
Nick
EDIT: MD5 Should be 05CB646CB469DCB0141E416B63340F30

I can confirm that the MD5 for SystemUI.apk on InsertCoin 3.0.5 is a match to 3.0.4 so this MOD should work fine on the newest version also. Feedback is appreciated to let me know if it worked alright for you or not!?
Any suggestions or different torch icons / logos are appreciated too if anyone has a better icon to use!

Sorry to hear it didn't work. It must only work on pure Sense 5.5 based ROMs and not AOSP / Hybrid type ones. Thanks for trying and hopefully you have a backup to go back to?
If not you can copy out the SystemUI.apk from your ARHD GE ROM and put it in the zip file from this thread (overwrite mine that's in there) and re-flash and you will have your old one back.

works great, thanks a lot!

I flashed this in stock deodex sense 5.5 Rom .install but not working
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Not sure if anyone is bothered for this but I've updated the style shown in the screenshots in this post. I can provide APK's for ROMs with this mod included and I know why it didn't work on ARHD and possibly stock ROMs etc. You need the following to be run in an init.d script:
chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
I knew it was a permission issue somewhere but didn't look into it till it didn't work on Viper so I wanted to fix it!
Anyway, if anyone is interested post here, and I'll see what I can do. If you want it with the ROMs battery percentage or mine then let me know!
