Theme chooser - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just would like to know a few things about this app
1. Which roms have it
2. Where I can get more theme for this app
3. Is it better than sense 2.0
4. How to use it
Thnx in adv.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

1. Most, if not all roms have it
2. Themes and apps; most themers make it an apk to install into theme manager, to make it easy
3. Personally wouldn't know.
4. Don't have to use it.

Correction to the above:
1. It's only in ROMs which have added it... Which as this point just means CyanogenMod and other AOSP ROMs based on it.
2. You can also get themes for it from the Market (search for "cm7 theme").
3. Yes.
4. Launch the app from the app list in the app drawer, select the theme you want from the thumbnails, hit apply, and reboot once it's done. Ta-da!

I'm trying to find an answer to the first question as well. I'm trying to use the search for roms that have it included but no dice. Just a bunch of themes pop up. Im using CM7 just for the theme chooser because I like the 'Sculpted' theme so damn much.

[ROM] "Leap in the Dark" (RSJP5)

"Leap in the dark"
​
Based on RSJP5
Specs:
- root, busybox
- deodex, zipalign apk
- Removed all samsung bloatware
- gps.conf modified for better GPS fix in Italy (you can modify it with root explorer or via PC changing at first line "it" to "north-america" as default or choose your specific country)
- Added: geniewidget, typoclock, deskclock (Nexus alarm), carHomeGoogle (Car Kit), Music in /system/app
- Kernel SpeedMod K10g at 256Hz
- Theme with Sense 3D icon and circle battery version C gradient
- Default Android Keyboard (Samsung also) ** - "screenshot 4"
- Disabled InCall increasing volume
- Update some apps in /system/app (Maps, etc)
- AOSP Lockscreen
- Launcher AOSP Froyo
- Removed Touchwiz
- Added in data/app:
1) quickboot (because we haven't Extended Menu yet)
2) facebook
3) Twitter
4) APN Italiani
5) Adobe reader
6) GPS Status
Other mods...maybe
---------------- How to install it -------------------
1) If you have a lagfix, disable it
2) wipe data/cache/dalvik
3) install zip from sdcard (from ClockWorkMod recovery)
3a) if something wrong happen (because kernels < K9 are a little incompatible with K9) i advice to you to install JM8 or JM9 (rom eclair) with pit512 and re-partition flagged in Odin, then flash official JP5 with pit803 without re-partition always from Odin. At this point, flash SpeedMod > or equal to K9 you prefer (as long as K9) from Odin as PDA. So, wipe data and cache, and proceed as described at point 3)...
4) adviced (but not needed) wipe cache/dalvik only, absolutely not wipe data!*
5) reboot
* Why you can't make a wipe of data at point 4): because this rom includes apps in data/app!!!
-----------------------------------
** HOW TO SET ANDROID KEYBOARD
Install LatinIMEGoogle.apk (it is in data/app). Go to Settings > Locale And Text > Check Android Keyboard. Go to type anywhere and press on the screen and choose Input Method > Android Keyboard or select it from Samsung Keyboard pressing on settings button. You can delete LatinIMEGoogle.apk in data/app because it will be now in system/app.

You can install JP5 K9 for having both Launcher and Touchwiz.
For that rom, launcher is the one
Oh...you can use apks and mods from JP5 K9...everything between my two rom is compatible (both are based on RSJP% deodexed)
Thanks to who has voted my rom with 1 star....it's simply a great man...

[THEME] For any ROM. Yup, any single ROM.

So if your like me and like to change the theme's of your phone this is literally the website to do it!
uot.dakra.lt/kitchen <---- Copy/Paste that in your address bar.
It's a theme kitchen and it works on any phone, any ROM, and any version of Android (2.2 , 2.3)
-----------
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. I'm not at fault here, they even have a Youtube video on how to do it.
Sorry guys, let me lay things straight before confusion and cyber authority kick in, I DID NOT CREATE THIS KITCHEN. I give ALL credit to the person who put their life into it, please donate to them.
I just saw this on the internet and wanted to share with the XDA family!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys, some of you are having trouble with the kitchen, I'll just break down the instructions:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Whatever ROM your CURRENTLY using, open it and find the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
{Remember, it'll only work with your current ROM, flashing it to another ROM will send you in a never ending boot, because I've done that, anyways, if you change ROMS, you need to re-cook the whole theme with your new current ROM's APK's}
2. Choose your selections, generate previews and what not
Froyo ROMS do not support transparent ANYTHING so do not select it. If your on a Gingerbread ROM then your good and you can check 'enable transparency in status bar' in the Status Bar section
3. Upload your APK's in correct order in the 'File Upload' category
4. As soon as step 3 has been performed, go to 'Summary' and hit 'Submit to Kitchen' If a category is red simply go back and generate the preview
5. If you get an error log in the 'Pickup' page, I don't know what happens so sadly you have to go re-cook your ROM again.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys this should work like a charm with little to no trouble, I'm young and did this with a breeze.
Happy Theme-ing everybody!
Screen shots please =]

Thanks for the link man!!!! I just went and tried it out, and tweaked some things on a theme I have already now it's lookin really sweet!!! Thanks again!
@G1rome....It is a site so you can make your own custom themes, no screen shots available.
Original thread located in the "Android Themes" section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
Great find and thanks for sharing it in the G2 community, best way to theme a rom with your own personal preferences.
I gave this a try, seems easy & straightforward to use. However, do you have to make a donation in order to submit your created theme to that kitchen?

Will this work with stock rom.
@cubanito151 If you follow the instructions carefully it will.
It works on all roms.
Anyone else having issues with the mods sticking? I only did the battery icon mod and it worked at first but now its gone and back to the stock look.
This is pretty lame that its not sticking and reverts back to the old battery icon.

[DISCONTINUED] TRANSPARENT Genie Widget from Android 4.1 JB (BLUE AND MIUI COLORS!)

Hello, guys!
I managed to mod an application to have a transparent background and it worked just fine, so I decided to share it with you.
This is the new News and Weather Widget from Google that works on Froyo and above on every ROM and every device. It has some new features such as displaying more information on the weather by clicking on the weather icon within the app (as you can see in the first picture) and a cool cerulean highlight effect when pressing on the widget.
Since 1.3.11 from Jelly Bean, it was updated to improve freshness and power consumption.
*UPDATE*
​
Updated GenieWidget to 1.3.11 from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Now you can choose between 2 glow colors when pressing on the widget on the home screen: ORIGINAL BLUE or MIUI ORANGE!
Thanks to c3k for providing the Jelly Bean apk and to YOU FOR DOWNLOADING IT MORE THAN 10000 TIMES! I started sharing it just for fun, how could I've ever expected it? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
*INSTRUCTIONS*​
Uninstall any previous version, if any (if it's a system apk, remove it using Root Explorer or any equivalent apk);
Download the version you desire (BLUE glow or MIUI glow);
Push it to /system/app with adb, or just copy it to your sdcard and install it as a regular apk;
Enjoy!
*TROUBLESHOOTING*​
Having troubles or force closes? Please, remember that this is just a mod, I'm not the author of the original apk, so make sure your problems are coming from my mods *only* before asking! If you can't see anything wrong with an original GenieWidget version, please uninstall GenieWidget, reboot to recovery, clear caches, reboot and try installing it again.
*CHANGELOG*​
11-15-2011: Initial mod from ICS 4.0.0;
02-07-2012: Updated mod to 1.3.04, from ICS 4.0.3 which now includes ICS themed tabs and minor graphical changes overall. It also supports HD resolutions (e.g. Galaxy Nexus);
07-23-2012: Updated to 1.3.11 from JB 4.1; added MIUI variant; removed ICS versions.
06-15-2016: Discontinuing project since Google stopped supporting GenieWidget.
Thanks Works Great!!

Hi im running onecosmic's port of ics on my i9000.
I couldnt find any options to set my widgets to transparent.
So im wondering if its ok for me to install this apk, assuming this apk was meant for froyo and gingerbread.
Edit:
Ive mistaken this for an ability to make all the widgets in ics to go transparent.
Is there a way to do this??

That would simplify everyone's life, but backgrounds are built-in in the apks and need to be edited and 9patched, or decompiled, edited, recompiled and signed again. That's no job for a launcher, unfortunately.

If that's a system apk, you can't just uninstall it. You have to remove it manually: use Root Explorer or any equivalent app and make sure /system is set as R/W. You'll find that in /system/app.
It is a system App.
Sounds like I need to root first, install root explorer, find and remove it and then install the transparent APK?

[MOD][cm10.1] Tablet UI

HELLO ALL GRAND FELLAS!
​ I am here just to share the tablet ui mod for our galaxy grand. It can be done by any newbie but if you want the things to get faster you can view this thread.
NOTE: If you want to apply a new theme, you need to first change the dpi of your phone to 190/240(190 recommended) i.e editing the lines in build.prop. choose your desired theme and again change the dpi to 160!
REQUIREMENTS:
1. CM10.1 on your GRAND.
2. Xposed installer and AppSettings.
3. Your favorite launcher (I prefer golauncher), u can use nova launcher too or even holo launcher.
4. cm10.1update.zip and cm10.1restore.zip.
5. Root explorer or any app to edit your build.prop.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Install Xposed installer and AppSettings.
2. Go to Xposed installer and click on install. After installing go to modules and tick AppSettings.
3. Now go to AppSettings and set the dpi as follows--
(i)Browser: dpi=240
(ii)Contact: dpi=240
(iii)Messaging: dpi=182/240 (thanks to jomota7)
(iv)Phone: dpi=240
(v)Phone/Messaging storage: dpi=240​
4. Go to root explorer to edit your build.prop, navigate to system folder, open build.prop and edit this line--
default->ro.sf.lcd_density=240
edited->ro.sf.lcd_density=160​ 5. Install go launcher or any other launcher that you prefer.
6. Copy both the .zip files(cm10.1update.zip & cm10.1restore.zip) to your extsdcard.
7. Reboot into recovery.
8. Browse to where you copied your both the files. And install cm10.1update.zip.
9. Reboot.
10. You can always go back to your default Phone ui. Just flash the cm10.1restore.zip and change the dpi in build.prop to 190 or 240 (I prefer 190, gives a perfect look to cm on Grand)
11. You don't need to wipe your data, cache or dalvik cache!
:good:Thats it! You got your Tablet ui on your GRAND!:good:

Using the right apps and DPI you transform your Grand duos in PC portable lol. For now only use my portable for flash CWM or root devides i fix from friends lol.
For now in test diferents DPI and increase font because some people need big fonts lol.
"CM10.1 on your GRAND."
Right.... Now understand this point. It's need install Rom cm10.1 first.
Lol I install in Rom cook by custom cook and error appear. Lol.
Put a uplink to tread for cm10.1. I need this phone operational 2 chip's, sow I not install cm.
Change DPI is good but some people don't like small font. Just need increase font in app settings or in settings android.
Thanks karipari95.

The tool OP has used doesn't patch stock ROMs, it only patches custom ROMs (AOKP, AOSP, CM, PA). Which means that to achieve real tablet Ui on stock ROM one has to do the job manually, and for this one needs to mod android.policy.jar, services.jar and frameworks-res.jar.
As for me I'm currently trying, and so far I only half succeeded.
Tablet mode works and apps like settings open in split view, and I managed to have the bottom mini tray to work (look at the screenshots below).
I still didn't figure out how to merge the notification top bar with the navigation bottom bar and I'm not sure I will be able to do it, but let's be optimistic:silly:...

Just realized that the file is invalid, I'm working on recovering it as we speak.
Here, it should work now, just open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and select ICS_theme_2 from wherever you saved it to.

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.
roote already

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment 2366303 to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.

Hey dude, I was rooted already running an gingerbread build, the launcher that comes with the rom was launcher2, just wanna ask if your ICS theme could also be use on that rom. thanks in advance.
It will likely work on almost any ROM, but some elements might not be themed, best of luck!:fingers-crossed:
Your right

Yeah bro, I tried it but nothing change, I used the metamorph.apk from market and followed what you have said, but I think its not suitable for the rom I'm using.
But thanks for the help you given me... :good:
you might need to adjust the reboot timeout in metamorph settings, so that it doesn't reboot in the middle of the operation.
You might try ninjamorph, but no promises. What ROM are you using? If you want, I can email you a copy of the one I know it works for.
now on cm 6.1 stable

hello bro, sorry for the late reply, recently I tried it on EzGingerBread but it failed when I apply it nothing happen but now I'm on CM 6.1stable (I don't want gingerbread builds I find them so slow on my phone) thanks in advance.
That's funny, I just moved to ezgingerbread. I'm not actually finding it that slow with the ram hack. I literally flashed it about 15 minutes ago, and this was sent using it. By the way, I found that It only really worked for the rom i had included the name of in the xml file. I'm working on bringing holo to gingerbread as we speak though....
new rom for me too

Oh, you just flashed ezginger while me I also flashed a few moments ago this new rom I newly discovered also a froyo rom its pre-themed ICS rom named froyo cream sandwich I forgot who post this but its nice superb, Im now testing it.
Send me a link, that sounds awesome! However, is it compatible with the ezterry ram hack?
Yes it is, its themed by darinx (probably butchered his name) there are two ROMs actually, one based off froyo by Laszlo and one of dream team froyo, two of the better froyo builds for the dream
Check the dev threads and youll find it within the first few pages
Also andisa (probably butchered his name too) made a great ICS theamed version of ezgingerbread that all includes some additional tweeks, I don't believe he ever created an xda thread but I can find you the link if your interested

If you could post the link to the ezgingerbread version, that would be excellent. I'm not quite ready to give up gingerbread, as it is working great even with live wallpapers.

DREAMWAVE sorry for the late reply, here is the complete link for that rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568486
Just want to ask what was the things you did to make G1 still great even with live wallpapers under the gingerbread version?? heheh,,,thanks in advance,,,
what I did to speed it up was remove some apps that were running in the background, such as dialer, which was taking up a solid 7mb of ram all the time. I now have a pretty consistent 42mb of ram while at my launcher, adw ex. While it won't beat any phone at a benchmark, it will run quite smoothly while flipping between launcher pages. Try using swap and a task killer, I am using smart ram booster and have the widget situated over the clock on the statusbar for whenever I want a quick boost in speed.
