[Q] custom skins??

I dont know if this is possible to make custom skins that we could choose with the skin chooser? Im thinking no but its worth a shot to ask right

Yeah, i was wondering about that too. As all themes this as well could be created. Question is, where you need to put the file. Guess it must be stored in an accessible dir somewhere. Injecting a new theme there should work i guess.

The ones from the above thread?
They work apparently (thread title).
Just install the .apk you downloaded.

You need flashing for the framework mod, rooted device, it tells in the instructions, if i read it right

I stand corrected. I thought he meant the skins for Sense thing.
You could install the frameworks without root though, by using wpthis.ko
(I think it's .ko)
Just run it, then adb push the framework to /system/framework.
You may need temp-root for this.
But of course, temp-root ain't perm-root

I figured it out. You have to add the framework into a flashable .zip - if anyone would like any of the status bars, let me know and ill upload the .zip's

The frameworks don't change the colour of the statusbar background, just the icon colours and what they look like.

Is there anything special about the Desire HD Mod?
Are the icons different to ours?
Also - rEVOlution looks sssooooooooo good.

You can check out the link posted earlier in the thread to download the .apk's containing skins. In order to get different status bar icons, you'll need to flash a new framework file via .zip in recovery. The frameworks can be applied to any skin you wish.
I'm currently using the Froyo status bar and am loving it. The best part is having the actual battery percentage overlaying the battery icon. I've uploaded the flashable .zip for this one if you'd like to give it a try. Just install via recovery (dont forget to make a backup if you want to restore to default).

I really like the layout and colors on this MattedBlues theme.
It would be very appreciated if someone that has the knowledge to do it would share the wealth.

run script..
move "new" folder back into cm7 unzipped folder where you took them from.
rezip into flashable zip..
if you google how to make a flashable.zip you should get a link to xda somewhere.
has a script too that does it for you. then just flash in cwm.
p.s. im workin on this right now. ill try to upload tonight. if not tomorrow after work.

Lol funny thing is I ported this for myself already, I just got winrar and replaced the SystemUI.apk images, and the framework-res images, and if you want the apps stuff too then replace those as well and done.
When I tried to flash it a week or two ago it made me loose service, so I had to do it that way and such, although I do not understand why it would make me loose service

I will add it to the latest nightly, although I have no idea if this will let me upload a entire rom o.0

if cimer doesn't get it i'll continue work. kinda more of a learing process right meow.
i got everything themed over. i guess i should include the apks from the themed rom, and not the ones in cm7 since they don't show up themed when i open them i.e. dialer, market etc.. threw it together quickly. boot animation, notification bar and font taken care of. i'll continue tomorrow.
if this works, pretty sure it will.. i'll start porting more themes.

Awesome.....
Is there any way to add the zip as just a flashable theme, rather than part of a full rom? I am currently only using CM7 RC2, not any of the nightlies.
Anything I can do to help, plz let me know!
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

Yes there is a way to just do a flashable zip, although since I have no idea what caused me to loose service I did it directly with the Rom. I will play around with it tonight when I have time.
If you want to do it your self you just need the latest nightly, the latest matted blues and just copy things into the appropriate folder using winrar. It's really simple.
Edit: @shady if you want to do it you can, I have yet to get started.

Well this morning I got the theme ported... the best I could anyways. I'm by all means no sort of dev or themer.. I just like to tinker. but I got the theme ported.. only thing I noticed was lockscreen icons weren't themed.. idk if they are or not originally in the evo theme.. and in setting the "highlight" or whatever its called was still the orange color.. honestly idk how to change any of those. Like I said I only tinker.. but id say like 95% of the theme ported over just fine.. I was using it, but flashed back to lucid theme on my way to work. Ill work on this and see if I can make the update.zip just the theme and not a full rom...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Mine were not original either it's alright the lock should be blue and a couple of other tweaks,

The whole theme works great by copying the icons and imgs in framework res.apk. to the cm7 framework and over writing it. I have tried the theme porter method but apk manager works the best so far that I've tried if I get permission from developer I will post the theme later tonight. I only have it up to build 19 though

I hope someone can get it working.......I have been try and keep getting all kinds of fc's on all kinds of programs.........it was frustrating so I took a break from it.
Hopefully someone will be able to get this working on RC2 or maybe the developer will eventually add it to the theme engine as an apk

I also tried to contact the developer several times, and didn't get any response. I'm sure they are busy tweaking this for the evo and nexus s. Its really a solid theme

1) Get Winrar
2)Download the ROM you want to flash
3)Open the rom with winrar (Avoids resigning it yourself)
4)Replace the Framework-res.apk located in system/framework with the theme you want
5)Replace the SystemUI.apk located in system/app with the theme you want
6) Close the window
7) Put it on your SD card to flash, remember always make a backup just in case.
Also note if you want the themed icons for apps just replace all the apps in system/apps
This is for people that want to use it personally, you would need to contact the dev. in order to release it to everyone.

This does NOT work. Atleast not for me. I downloaded CM7 RC2 and downloaded CM7RC2 version of MattedBlues. I tried 3 different variations.
1.) I replayed all files from mattedblues into the cm7 rom folder. This allowed me to boot into CM7 with the theme applied, HOWEVER, I had no internet connection and I get about 3-4 FC during the google apps setup
2.) So I tried being selective and only copied framework over and a few of the apps in the app folder. Maybe 3 or 4 apps, like gmail, systemUI, phone etc. This didn't give FC, instead it wouldn't let me have internet connection.
3.) So I just followed the guide exactly and copied only the framework over and the systemUI over. This caused no internet and almost immediate FC on google apps setup. So I just went back to MIUI.
P.S. I tried two different kinds of GAPPs. I tried the ones that come with CM7 rom in the ROM Manager and I tried another GAPPs I downloaded previously for Iceandfire. Just to experiment. Both failed in the same way.
Thanks for the try though. I would LOVE to see a real port of this rom. One of the best (if not the best) looking themes out right now.

I've ported MattedBlues to the G2 just for you guys. Pick it up at the official thread here.

You could check out the Symply theme here by DAGr8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105121
Everything is stock with those mods you wanted(plus 9 locks), except the flying animations which can easily be transferred from another theme by:
-Opening the framework-res.apk inside the Symply CWM flashable
-Navigate to res>anim
-Do the same for a theme which has the animations you want(make sure they both have the same no. of xmls)
-Copy the xmls over from your other theme too the Symply theme's anim folder.
-If using WinRar it will ask if you want to update the archive and say yes(I suggest you use WinRar)
Make a backup before you flash though I have modified themes a lot and never had problems you never know, having another theme to flash over top in case is a good idea too. Hope this helps

I've used it a couple of times.
Just select the mods you want, and upload the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your phone. Then you'll have to wait a couple of minutes while it's cooking. After download, flash through CWM.

Ok thanks a lot i haven't understand for the files upload.

You can delete the launcher from the zip flashable, should be an APK called "TWLauncher" or something similar. But otherwise I can't do a lot to help sorry.

Please Follow ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/o1f9abd4a47c94t/CM-Z1.apk )

IS THAT RELATED ?
You can start by just copying and extracting the framework-res.apk in the system/framework folder of any theme. I recommend using a stock deodexed theme template as this will give you a good foundation to build from. After you extract the framework-res.apk look in the res/drawable-mdpi folder. That is where most of the icons will be that are used for theming. You can pull any of the .png's and edit them this way. DO NOT mess with any of the icons labeled .9.png when editing the framework-res.apk this way (see info on .9's below). And don't (generally) don't change the size of the png's you edit.
When getting started the best way I found to figure out which images are used where was to flash the same theme as the one I am editing to my phone so I can look at the phone and try to figure out where the icon (image) is being used. If I still can't find it then I will take my best guess and color the image something bright like red or another color thats not used in the theme I'm making. Then I put the color edited icon in my theme and flash it (see below) then go through my phone and find whats red.
After you edit all the .png's you want and are ready to put your theme back together:
Open a copy of the original theme that you used as a base and open the system/framework/framework-res.apk in 7zip. DO NOT extract it. Just open it. Then go to res/drawable-mdpi (or whatever folder you edited the icons in) and place your edited icons back into this folder. After you finish, close 7zip, rename your new theme so you don't confuse it with the theme template you are using and flash away.
I'm not going to go into great detail about how to do the things below because I simply don't have the time. I have given you enough information that you should be able to google and look for guides on youtube that will get you through the process below.
When editing .9.png's (commonly refered to as .9's) you need to pick up some software. First you'll need to download and install the jdk and jre. Google them. They are on Java's web site. Once you get those installed you'll need to get apk tool or apk manager, I prefer apk tool myself, and decompile the framework-res.apk to be edited.
If you edit the .9's but stay away from that one pixel wide border you won't have to patch your .9's. This is what I do. When I open a .9 to edit the first thing I do is draw a selection box around the image making sure to stay clear of the one pixel wide border. This way all my changes stay inside the selection box. If you ever do decide you need to patch your .9's there is a program called draw9patch that will do this for you.
Happy Theming!!

[FONT] xda logo font packages - free, nice, easy install

So when I was making myself a signature file image last night, in honor of my new Recognized Contributor status, I wanted to use the font that xda-developers has in the logo. I was very happy to find that @Ganesh A made up this true type font and shared it with us! Go to his thread, please click Thanks for this nice gift, and download "All Continuum.Zip" to get all three versions of the XDA font in one zip file.
What to do with it to install on your Windows PC:
1. Open the zip. No need to extract.
2. You'll see three files inside: Light, Medium, and Bold.
3. Double click on any one of them, and then click the install button.
4. That's it! This will install that font in your Windows programs. For example, on my system now I have the xda font in Word and Photoshop. Nice! You can also use it in a ROM if you want, or in theming.
5. Do the same to install each of the three (Bold, Medium, Light).
I'm surprised more people haven't found this. Nice work, Ganesh A. (Folks, please click thanks for him. There's over a thousand downloads and at the time of this post, only 18 Likes.)
