[HOWTO] Gingerbread Theme + Ext Pwr Menu + % Battery + Custom Anims on JPU (any rom)

Adding Ext Power as well as % Battery Mod is very easy thanks to Jim Panses super Arbeit
Many thanks also to Dena and whiskeybro for their Theme as well as vukandric for the Gingerbread theme.
This is how I did it on Darky's Rom, but it should theoretically work for any Rom based on JPU.
Possibly the Rom needs to be deodexed what most custom roms are anyway.
You will possibly lose animations but there is an easy way to get them back!
Read end of post for this!
Ok let's get started with the simple (but limited) method.
Step 1:
Download the theme from Dena, the Gingerbread Theme as well as the framework-res.apk attached to this post. Put them on your SD card.
Step 2:
Install Dena's Theme with extended Power Menu
Step 3:
Install Gingerbread Theme
Step 4:
With Root Explorer copy the framework-res.apk file out of this thread to /system/framework
Your system will most likely crash after that and reboot with the new framework-res.apk active. Then change the permissions to 644 meaning all boxes in the first column selected as well as the topmost row of the second column selected. All else unselected.
Done!
This should work for any rom, but I can't confirm it yet.
For anyone interested in making their own themes compatible with ext pwr + % battery here is the more complicated way to do this and the way I actually did it:
Step 1:
You will need Dena's Theme again as a base as well as a another theme that already has the % battery but lacks the power menu. (It work too if you don't have % battery yet, but then only for the ext Power Menu)
Step 2:
Extract the framework-res.apk of each theme.
Step 3:
copy everything from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi of the theme you want to use into the same (sometimes also called "...\drawable-hdpi-v4") folder within the framework-res.apk of Dena's Theme.
Do not extract the framework-res-apk files. Use 7-zip to open them and do the copying!
Step 4:
Do the steps from the "simple" guide but instead of gingerbread theme you use your theme of choice and the framework-res.apk you use is the one you created.
Animations:
Many Themes use custom animations now.
The most common is the fly-in animation.
These animations might be lost with this method.
To get them back simply download the "Animations.zip" from this thread. Extract and move to /sdcard/AndroidThemes and then install with Metamorph (app can be found on market)
Here is another way provided by kenkiller

That was intentional

Very useful, someone should try this on Darkyy's 5.2

I AM on Darky 5.2!

Were you able to retain all of Darkyy's animations after doing this?

No it doesn't. Not all rom can use it. Each rom framework-res.apk is different.

differently themed maybe, but it should still work as they are all based on the same framework-res.apk (that of JPU)
Animations are gone, but I have a good idea how to fix this

Animations are what puts Darkyy's ROM apart. Apart from his very good themed colors & graphics.

Thank you for the credits!

The fly in animations are exactly the ones used in darkyy's rom,or at least similar enough that I didn't notice a difference yet.

If you used my files as the base for this, its only a little part of the fly in animation, because i dont liked the whole package!

What Dena theme do you mean? That link is to the captivate forums?

After installing the Gingerbread Theme all transitions are lost. I used the ones from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774738
If you want to add your own animation set I would gladly upload it here, too

Thx for the info

Giving it a 5-star. Helpful.

it's pretty easy to regain the animations if u prefer the original.
Just extract the anim folder inside darkky's framework-res.apk with 7zip, and then overwrite the same folder and contents with the framework-res.apk you intend to copy to ur phone. But in the case of animations, it's needed to clear dalvik cache in CWM.

This actually does work on most custom roms, as long as they are deodexed.. Great work though..
Is it also possible to only add ext menu and keep glass window lock screen? I like the instant sms reader

If someboby give me DeskClock.apk from CODENEXUS I will make update that retern your Clock back. Or you can replace this apk with original (for CODENEXUS) by yourselfe with the help of RootExplorer.

I will not make a version for codenexus, as I do not consider it stable and do not use it.

Thanks for porting this awesome theme for XXKPH

Just installed this theme. Great work sir. Although I am having a little trouble. I can not access the 'Notifications'. Neither from the drag down menu nor from the notifications button. Kindly help me out.
Thanks again.

Could somebody confirm this theme works good in KPH. It totally ruined my phone and had to flash it again. Following are few (fatal) problems i faced after updating this theme,
1) Alarm clock gone
2) Music app gone
3) Service provider signal lost
4) Constantly getting "Messaging service is stopped"
5) Cant open any app as it gets closed immediately
6) Unable to do even a Master Reset
No offence to the uploader but curious to know if there is any soul who ported this in KPH and still smiling?

Please confirm that it works with 2.3.4 ??

This is just a mini theme version, anything related to litening battery will not work due to different framework.apk file which will affect the rom to cause it to freeze or infinite boot loop.

does this theme work on villainrom 2.3 as well mate ?

[HOW TO] Status Bar Transparency For CM7.2

First of all, credits should go to nims11 for this. I pm him and asking how to do that, it worked so I thought to write an extensive tutorial about this. Of course I am not held responsible if something goes wrong, read carefully instructions though it's quite simple, don't mind long explanation, is meant for new users too.
STATUS BAR TRANSPARENCY - WHAT YOU NEED!!!
1. This was tested on CM7.2 on both deodexed and odexed version. Also will work on ICS2. Probably will work on CM7.1 too but haven't tried this. Don't ask me if this will work on other modded versions of CM7.2, I don't know, and I am not willing to try.
2. You need a theme that supports transparency in status bar like Meizu, LunarUI, MIUI, Naked Simplicity, Orion and much more. Theme list can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
3. You need ADW Launcher along with theme to make this work. Remember to uncheck wallpaper hack in system preferences.
4. You need Root Explorer or similar app to be able to do have root access.
5. Before proceed with the method, backup SystemUI.apk from system/app (deodexed version) or both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (odexed version). A simple copy/paste to your sd card will also do the job.
PROCEDURE FOR HAVING TRANSPARENCY IN STATUS BAR
DEODEXED VERSION
1. Download this file http://www.uploadking.com/V7YWUIJ3UO and transfer to your SD Card (any directory)
2. Use Root Explorer and COPY file
3. Go to system/app --> Press the Mount R/W button on top of screen --> Now Paste. A message pops up to confirm that you want to overwrite file. Press Yes.
4. You will then get a message that systemui stopped responding. DON'T WORRY. Hold power button till phone reboots
5. When it reboots you won't have status bar. DON'T WORRY, IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS.
6. Use again Root Explorer, go to system/app, press again the Mount R/W button --> then find file SystemUI.apk --> Long press it till a menu pops up --> Click Permissions, it should be as this http://imageshack.us/f/843/screenshot1323167924787.png/ So permissions under file should be as rw-r-r
7. Reboot phone --> YOU'RE DONE.
ODEXED VERSION
The procedure is exactly the same as deodexed version BUT BEFORE DOING THIS YOU NEED TO DELETE SystemUI.odex from system/app using Root Explorer and having pressed the Mount R/W button in order to do so.
So when you're done and lets say you are using MIUI Theme it should look like this http://imageshack.us/f/856/screenshot1323169878975.png/. Different theme will have different icons or different transparency level, transparency is really theme dependant!
DON'T PANIC
1. If it doesn't work then probably you did something wrong
2. Remember that you have backed up original files so you're safe
ALTERNATIVE METHOD VIA CWM (as nims11 suggested) - ODEXED VERSION ONLY!!!
Just flash this through CWM http://db.tt/vlQvk1Nx

Thank you John!

are you using odex version? I haven't tried this method myself, I did it manually. Check permissions on SystemUI.apk, it should be as rw-r-r.

I tested it on my odexed rom then gave here
I not want to tolerate such question like i lost my statusbar... so i not started thread
he pm me so i gave him
and by saw thread gave odexed version for odexed rom user
so if working with your good if not use other method of using deodex methos from first post

Also, a tip as a small contribution for people who don't like adw launcher like me. If you want to have a transparent status bar while using a different launcher then you need to download multi picture live wallpaper from the market. Set your prefered wallpaper through multi picture live wallpaper and the status bar is transparent no matter what launcher you're using

yes it work... also nims maybe you can give us your transparency bar with center clock system UI too... it would be awesome... thx

CM7.2 systemUI
just want to help. here I made flashable. but before you flash you must delete SystemUI.odex using root explorer > system > app choose SystemUI.odex and delete make sure you has mount rw first, if you get FC for SystemUI don't panic, reboot to recovery and then flash it via recovery. don't forget to mount /system first...
all credits goes to him...
MAKE BACKUP FIRST OF YOUR CURRENT SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex
EDIT : SORRY MY FAULT. THIS STUFF ONLY WORK IN CM7.2 ROM BASED.

I think you must extract SystemUI.apk using apktool. and find value @drawable/statusbar_background then replace with @color/transparent find in some files with xml extension. I recommend to use notepad++ for editing xml extension.

[Q] Theming CM9

Hi everybody. I am trying to make a new CM9 based rom. The design is quite amazing. I am using a great themechooser theme.
In CM7, If I wanted to set the default theme of a ROM I had to...
1. Decompile the theme, go to AndroidManifest.xml and copy the theme ID.
2. Go to build.prop and modify two lines adding the theme name and the theme ID (step 1)
3. Add the theme to system/app
In CM9 I tried to do the same but I cannot see those lines in build.prop. Those lines just don't exist!!
There are a lot of threads in XDA with the same doubt but any of them solved.
I hope a bright mind can solve my problem
THanks in advance.

UPDATE: I have exactly the same thing with CM10....

I've not themed CM7 but I didn't have to edit the build.prop for my CM9 theme, just the manifest and strings.xml.

What he means is he wants to make a theme a default for a ROM. Not make a theme himself. So in CM7 you could set a theme e.g touchwiz as default and then whenever anyone installed your ROM they would have the touchwiz theme as default but I'm not sure if you can do the same for CM9 mate sorry. Probably need to theme framework files yourself
