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.
I would definitely give it a try if I had any idea how to do it!
Thank you in advance

blah.. don't have time to do this right now.
here the theme porter ive used in the past. just follow instructions.
theme porter... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
update.zip packager... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
what i do.
get theme
get rom.
extract both.
place needed files in correct "new" and "old" folders..
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

That looks great! Do you still have the zip you can share? If not, then I will try to figure it out!
Thank you in advance!

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

Did you get permission?
And wouldn't basing a theme on a RC be a better idea? Just saying
Just waiting for a pm back from him but I bet it would be better I just use the nightlies and did it for myself but I can do the rc2 tonight and send him another pm
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
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.
This is probably a simple question but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I've cooked my theme at UOT and flashed it to my phone. I'm not entirely sure abut my choices so would like to go back to my original ROM settings ( Leedroid 3.0.6r2 ).
I've got a ROM Manager/Nandroid backup but just wondering if there is a simpler way to restore the original theme?
Is it possible to just restore framework-res.apk and if so, how do I go about doing that?
Regards, Robby
Full wipe and reinstall, perhaps you can put framework res apk with Root Explorer but I can't promess you that it will be concluant.

Thanks I decided to just restore my rom manager backup ...
so if you had decided to restore the rom's apk =>
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
those files are needed to do a good mod with uot kitchen.
however it s possible to copy them from leedroid's rom with 7-zip to any folder in your comp.
next time maybe

This will guide you through making a theming template.
Why: it was requested
What is it for: This is the base in which you start your custome theming. If you have read through Dreamsforgotten thread on theming, you will see that he refers to a theming template to start with.
Be advised, This is not a rom. It is just a template that some dev/themers use as a base for their custome themes or to return to a stock deodex theme. Also, this assumes that you are on a stock rooted system
The Difference you ask:
Theming templates : do not have a modem or kernel, They do have a system folder with and App, font, and framework folder.
Rom: has everything needed to run the OS. Modem (sometimes), kernel, and a full system folder
This is how I do it. That is not to say it is right or wrong, but it works for me. There may be other/easier way developed by other devs.
EI22 Theme Template
Tools:
Rom kitchen form here ( follow the thread and set it up )
7zip from here
Notepad++ from here
Rooted device: if you are not rooted look in the dev section of your device for the instructions on that
Clockwork mod: if you don’t know what this is or don’t have it go to the dev section and research.
Instructions:
1: get a copy of the STOCK system folder. It really does not matter how you get it. JUST GET IT
HINT: if you are rooted already, use root explorer or equivlant and copy it to the sdcard….
Depending on how you got it, you may need to copy it to your computer desktop ( do so now)
2: now you will need to make a zip file (by now you should have 7zip installed)
r-click on system folder that you just copied to your desktop
choose 7zip > add to archive.
under archive change name to (build#).zip ( replace (build#) with the build you are using i.e ec05, ei22 ect….)
At this point you will need the rom kitchen. So, if it is not set up, DO SO!!!!!!!
3: copy to the zip folder to kitchen > original_update. Then open the kitchen.
Choose option 1, answer the next few questions as you need to. For me, I just hit enter at the 4 questions. You should be back at the main screen now
option 0 (enter) > option 11 (enter) > option b (enter) > enter ( best so that if there are errors you can troubleshoot) ( this takes a while: 20 min) assuming all went well, you should get
0 *.odex in system/app
0 *.odex in system/framework
Hit the enter key
option 99 > option 2
At this point, there should be a new folder named “output_zip” with your rom in it. (enter) you should be back to the mail menu. We are done with the kitchen so you can close that.
BUT your not done yet.
4: go to the above mentioned folder. In the folder there will be a zip file.
r-click on it and rename theme_template_(build#) ( replace (build#) with the build you are using i.e ec05, ei22 ect….)
r-click> 7zip> open archive - There you will see two folders and a boot image.
delete the boot.img file
go into the system folder and delete everything except app, framework, and font folders
back out one level and go into meta-inf >com > google >android
Now delete the updater-script (leave 7zip open)
Now we need to write the updater-script for CMW to read
5: open notepad++
BE ADVISED, this portion is for the EPIC 4G and the updater-script may change formats based on your device. So do some research first. I tend to look at other script for my devices to see how it should be formatted.
You can copy and past this in or type it yourself:
show_progress(0.1, 0);
delete_recursive("/system/framework");
delete_recursive("/system/app");
delete_recursive("/system/fonts");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
show_progress(0.1, 10);
unmount("/system");
Or use this: updater-script
file >save as
Name file: updater-script
File type: chose all types (*.*) you may need to scroll up or down to find it.
save to desktop
drag and drop the updater-script into the 7zip screen. ( you will be prompted with a ?. just hit yes.)
You should now have 3 files on the 7zip screen
Updater-script, update-binary, update-script.orig
close 7zip.
Connect phone via USB
Copy file to sdcard
Disconnect phone
Reboot to CMW
Choose: backup and restore >backup (when its finished you will have a nandroid to restore if you F.U.B.A.R. your phone.
Choose: install zip from sdcard and install your theming template.
Reboot.
Now use your favorite file explorer and go to system/framework and make sure it has been deodexed. If so, the flash was successful and your theme template works.
Congradulations you built your first theme. All be it a stock one. lol
mine for the thank you's
dreams - for all of his tuts
dsixda - for the kitchen.

You can use this thread or learn to do the XML code changes and mods by hand as most of the seasoned theme devs do... I find it a whole lot more rewarding than letting this kitchen or the UOT Kitchen do the work for me....
This also works hand in hand when something goes wrong with your theme you know where to look to fix the problem.
FYI, even with the various themes that myself and ZiggSVO have worked on we still don't know everything and we all do exchange ideas and trouble shoot among each other. That is what makes all this stuff fun and rewarding.
Just my opinion...

I definitely agree, doing it by hand gives you a more broad understanding of how the xml code works. This allows you to perform other modifications as well, and like Paul said it is rewarding and also exciting.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely appreciate the guide! Perhaps you could divide it into a noob section and a more involved section.

Not sure what you are asking for. There is no XML editing involved here. If you are talking about the deodexing process, sure i can write out the long way to do it by hand. But there are alomost 200 odex files btween the apps folder and the framework folder to deodex. This process would take you all day to do if it wasnt for the kitchen.

Maybe some are misunderstanding the guide? I'm a little confused also lol. The way I read it...it comes across as just how to deodex your ROM? No actual themeing? Just to get a base template to start themeing...
Is that right?
Further clarification would be appreciated.

I probably jumped the gun myself on thinking this was a theme guide. Only point I was trying to make was I hate seeing people use UOT Kitchen or other means to do themes or build a ROM using it and then put it out as their own work. These methods I think are great for personal use but to build an entire themed frameworks, etc and then expect to take credit for it is a bit overboard and trust me there has been plenty of work here in the past based off of UOT Kitchen and other means.
Bottom line, its more rewarding in the long run when you do as much as possible by hand and learn how its all done. Heck I even recently went back and learned how to use APK TOOL itself to decompile and recompile apks aside from just using APK Manager. Sure I know APK Manager is the tool of choice but I still wanted to see how others did it before the big move over to APK Manager.
Otherwise, this is a great thread having a tool to deodex a ROM. Personally I have never successfully deodexed a ROM myself, I've come close and had working ROMs but usually ended up with one thing or another broken in the deodexing process.

On Ubuntu there is already a good notepad. You need the android sdk (add it to path), apktool, smali, baksmaly, all of the crap needed for compiling cm7, eclipse and it's ADK plugin, 7zip, voodoo kernel repack tools, that's probably all...

What you are talking about Xalky is more on the lines of themeing. Customizing icons, layouts and adding in fixes, then repackaging it into the flashable. Check out the Themes subforum and the sticky at the top by Dreamsforgotten on How to theme. That may be what you are looking for. Then either Dreams, myself or the dozens of other helpful users here can help you repackage it. It is just a matter of swapping the finished product back into the ROM flashable and of course giving credit to all that contributed or developed the stuff you grabbed to mod.

You are correct. Thats what I'd like to do......for now. Thanks for the lead. It's mainly for myself to be able to save my phone setup as one flashable zip. Is there a way to take your current Rom/theme setup with mods and copy the entire thing from the phone and turn it into one flashable zip? minus my add on apps. I thought I saw someone do that around here.

I believe there is a way to make an Odinable tar backup of your phone just how it is. But that would backup all your accounts and settings too. What you want is to just stuff your modded files back into the ROM zip.
So after desperatley wanting this mod to work on my captivate glide at any cost, i went after it myself. It looked easy at first but turned out to consume a lot of hours figuring out how to compile decompile and understand basics of smali.
What it does ?
As in the title, pressing the volume buttons a little longer (400 ms) will make the stock music player skip to next track (up vol) or previous track (down vol). This only works while the screen is off and phone locked which is basically the purpose . Right now will work on deodexed ROMs only, meaning pepole having "android.policy.odex" file in the system/framewrok folder would not be able to use this mod.
Caution : The mod if goes wrong can/will make your phone stuck at the boot animation unless the mod is removed. Copy both the files so you can restore your original file back in case it doesn't work for you.
How to Install
1) Make sure you are rooted. and boot into CWMR.
2) Flash LongPressVol.zip - Installs the mod and takes backup
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cache partition
4) Reboot and "Upgrading android" screen should show up.
You are done and now test it and let me know if it works for you. Enjoy!!!
Restore original/Remove Mod :
1) Boot into CWMR.
2) Flash LongPressVolRemove.zip - Restores your original android.policy.jar file
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cache partition
4) Reboot
Tested to be working fine on following ROMs
Nardholio's NardROM 0.4
Thegreatergood's LiteROM .4
Credits : Ported with help from the guide posted by jakubklos -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770564
Next update :
CWM flashable zip (will need some time to learn how to do that - Done
Post the Diff and the code to make it easier for other roms to include it if the android.policy.jar changes. - In progress
Awesome, been missing this mod since leaving my DHD
CWM Flashables worked great..... But since I'm using the stock rom which has not been deoxed it did not work.
It booted though didn't notice any adverse affects
Not to put you on the spot but do you think you could use the UCLH2 .jar and make a version that will use odex. not sure if anything would have to be done to the odex file but I have included the non odexed android.policy.jar files if you wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. If you could just modify the .jar file I'll test it. I would be forever in your debt!

Force closes PowerAMP and Nova Launcher.
Tested on ICS Leak.
Just delete the odex file and clear cache and you should be fine. You don't have to deodex the whole ROM.
or for extra points you can reodex, which theoretically will boost speeds a bit (although I'm experiencing wonderful speeds on my ROM). Redodexing is pretty easy (just Google it) and doesn't require him to do his mod again.
Cool thanks for the tip!

Strange works for me. Nova didn't quit at all throughout my testing. I tried Poweramp trial and works fine as well. Did you clear dalvik and cache after flashing in the Mod ?

Just delete the odex file and clear cache and you should be fine. You don't have to deodex the whole ROM.
or for extra points you can reodex, which theoretically will boost speeds a bit (although I'm experiencing wonderful speeds on my ROM). Redodexing is pretty easy (just Google it) and doesn't require him to do his mod again.

Tried with no success stuck at boot screen. Thanks for the hint I'll try re odexing it and see if that will work next.
I like all the bloat that the stock has except the att apps, I would love to try your ROM but I would prefer a completely stock version of it with little modification and fixes. I have tried to do it myself with no success and simple don't have the patience for it. As my computer would end up at the muzzle end of a AR15. I really don't want to waste ammo or buy a new computer just yet. LOL ^o^
I'm very happy with the stock rom after applying the keyboard, tethering fix, and sdcard swap. It will be perfect when I get this working on it. And if its true that having it odexed is faster, I don't know but it is very smooth and battery is awesome.

Awesome, been missing this mod since leaving my DHD
CWM Flashables worked great..... But since I'm using the stock rom which has not been deoxed it did not work.
It booted though didn't notice any adverse affects
Not to put you on the spot but do you think you could use the UCLH2 .jar and make a version that will use odex. not sure if anything would have to be done to the odex file but I have included the non odexed android.policy.jar files if you wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. If you could just modify the .jar file I'll test it. I would be forever in your debt!

As evident from your last post, it does not work for you on UCLH2. As i said in my OP that i've not tested it on LH2 and it might not work as the android.policy.jar may be different. It should work on the UCLG9 and the ROM's based on it for sure.
I'll see later what i can do for the LH2. Can you post me a link of your whole system/framework folder, so i can download the same ? I'll maybe try later in the day to see the difference.
Thanks you, much appreciated! http://db.tt/0PnPOv4p

Deodexed your files and compared the PhoneWindowManager.smali file with mine, they are binary equals. So technically this mod should work for you. As your ROM is odexed, you need to manually delete the android.policy.odex and android.policy.jar file and then copy the android.policy.jar file from the zip attached to the OP. Remember to clear dalvik and cache partition as the last step before rebooting your phone. As Nardholio suggested this should work and you don't need to deodex the whole ROM.
Updated OP with the name of the ROM's tested to be working fine with this mod. Will try some more and keep adding.

Do not delete the odex file... in an odex ROM all the code, java and smali are located in the odex class until you deodex which pulls the classes out and compresses them into a classes.dex into the particular apk and/ or jar file. So, if you delete the odex file the jar or apk is useless as you just deleted all the java and smali code it uses to communicate with the DVM..

Deodexing is all clear and i know the procedure, but can you let me know some link or tutorial to follow to odex it back again ? I think it needs the whole rom and needs some more files like framework etc. to be odexed again ?
Note: still learning and long way to go
In my trying to learn all of this too, seems you can re-odex a rom. But everything I found has to be done on the phone it self with terminal and a odex wrapper script. Haven't found a way of doing it on a computer yet.

I've read some tutorials as well, but lemme know if you find a easier way to do this. I'm almost certain that the odex files are specific to a specific rom, but i can be wrong as well. That's the reason i believe that the generic mods are only for the deodexed ROMs.

Yes the odex file is specific per app so if any changes were made, the odex file which contains most of the data for each app would also have to reflect those changes. As the changes you made were part of .smali which is part of the dex file. So on a stock rom the odex file is loaded into the Dalvik machine during boot. This is why when flashed on a odexed rom the mod does not take, because the non modded odex file was already loaded. I gave up as I'm happy using literom4 with your mod.
Edit: Ok here is why it has to be done using the phone, all has to do with BOOTCLASSPATH http://classictomatoe.net/dexo-universal-odex-tool/
If you wanted to make this mod for folks still using the stock rom. All that needs to be done is decompile the .odex file using baksmali make the changes to the necessary files and then smali ?I think? don't quote me on that.
Can you share the how to four this? I'm setting up a rom and would like to add this

Would you use the new uclj3 ? Send me the androidpolicy jar from your rom and hopefully it should be the same. I've not upgraded to .8 literom yet so not sure if it will work as .8 is based on the newer uclj3 released by samsung.
