[SOFTKEYS] Softkey Collection [05-04 Facebook Home]

[SOFTKEYS] Softkey Collection [05-04 Facebook Home] - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am proud to present you my collection of Softkeys for the Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus
I'd be grateful if you want to press the Thanks button if you're going to use these Softkeys!

Read this before you apply these buttons!
- If your ROM doesn't have a built-in Search or Big Menu softkey, then these images won't be used on your phone, it will only show Back, Home & Recent
- You need a rooted phone otherwise none of these methods will work! Stock rooted combined with ZipThemer works for most people, MetaMorph not always so preferably use ZipThemer
- The buttons will be a little less bright on your phone due to a layer of alpha transparency over them when you're not pressing them.
- IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING THESE SOFTKEY MODS!

Installation Methods
*** AOKP ***
Go to the Dropbox page of the style of your preference
Download the images you need from the folder and save them (probably to /sdcard/download)
Fire up Settings -> Rom Control -> Navigation Bar and select the images you just downloaded
Done!
*** Paranoid Android ***
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Make a backup of your ROM in Recovery
Extract SystemUI.apk from your ROM (located in /system/app) using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
Open SystemUI.apk and put each image from the MMZT_ file (located in /res/drawable-xhdpi) downloaded in the following folders located at /res (replace the existing images): drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi drawable-sw1000dp-xhdpi and drawable-xhdpi
Paste new SystemUI.apk into /system/app using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
*** ZipThemer (Recommended, Failsafe) ***
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Open ZipThemer. If this is the first time using ZipThemer then you have to select "Update Edify", "Browse", and select the .zip of the ROM you're currently using (this identifies the update script and needed files, if you're using a flashed theme on top of your ROM then please select the theme instead of the ROM) and press "Configure"
Go back to the main menu and press "+Theme", select the downloaded MMZT_ file and press "Build It!". Select "Always" on the popup prompt to make a backup in case it doesn't work or you want to undo
Boot into recovery, and flash the zip on the root of your /sdcard/ like any other flashable ROM/Theme
Wipe your Cache and Dalvik Cache just to be sure nothing weird happens on reboot
Reboot your phone after this and you're done!
If it somehow still fails just flash the "undo-zip" using steps 4-6
*** MetaMorph (Easier but riskier than ZipThemer) ***
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market
Launch MetaMorph at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/. (You can also create the folder manually if it doesn't)
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done!

Love the metal style. But...is that power button on the right used for multitasking? A bit strange in my opinion.

Do you need to be using a ROM to get this to work?

Well you're always using a ROM, even a stock Android version is still called a ROM
Considering your question, I guess that as long your phone is rooted (meaning you can access the system files like SystemUI.apk) you can install this mod no problem

works great on GSM version!

Looks good on my gnex! Thanks for this collection!

This is a great thread.
Loving the new softkeys....thanks guys.

Fixed battery mismatch from Scylla69's JPX build
AOSP + No menu unlock:

AOSP + No menu unlock + Extended menu + Circle battery:
XXJPY_DT-Scylla69-v1.7_sPOiDar-1_aosp-nmu-em-cz.zip
Do people actually use TouchWiz lockscreen or menu button unlock? I've not included them to save effort since I don't see them being useful, but if enough people are interested I'll see if I can find some time to build them too.
Credit goes to Doc and Scylla69 for their excellent work

Looks great! Would it be possible to alter to use cirle battery mod? Also what clock widget are you using?

Thanks, works great on my I9000 with Docs Rom JPA 7.6.2

would you share the two wallpapers?

It might sound silly, I am very new to android and want to apply such nice theme, this is a really nice theme, I Have rooted my SGS and installed lag fix.
Now I would like to apply this theme.
Could you please guide me how can I do that?

Hi,
Thx for the nice, simple and clear skin. i use doc rom v9 and install your Skin, it works
Regards

Very nice, I tried it on JPO/JPP and it almost work perfectly. But there are some Text errors in English:
1.The notification area shows the carrier name correctly but the next line of text under that is just some symbols and the Clear button also just shows symbols (%%/?)
2.On the lock screen where it usually says "Sweep" it says "Sending..."
But looks great, very nice with Voodoo's Screen fix!
Thanks,
David

I haven't tested it on them but
you can upload here your JPO/JPP unmodified framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and I'll try to modify them so that everything is OK.
cheers!

Do I need a deodexed rom for this ? I have XWJPA stock installed , with root and CWM when I apply the theme via CWM install zip from sd nothing happens !
Ok, found it out .. when do it via CWM nothing happens, but if you rename it to update.zip and then flash it via 2e revovery it works great

use the update.zip link which i posted above...
it should work

Yes is working but i'd like to have the theme fixed

hi,could you tell me which clock and date widget you are using on your homescreen?
thank you

Waiting for fixed text etc...
cheers mate

Will wait until the text is fixed then will probably end up using this on JP8... looks good! I like how it is simple and not flashy.

This theme works fine for me on Doc's JP8 v9, no broken text that I can see! This is my favourite theme now, Dena was too garish, Elegant Steel not dark enough, and I'm not a fan of the circle battery and grey notification bar used in Transparent Black.
Please can you add the extended power menu? Most of us that constantly flash new stuff find the reboot and recovery options on there every useful!

Thats good news !! Flashing right now !
Edit: If only it has ASOP Lockscreen...

I really like your theme. Been using it for a day now and I really like it. Hope to see more from you ! Especially great that this theme also works on stock roms

Anyone know the name of the clock widget he use?
EDIT: I've found it!

Thanks to javistanford, there's now a port for JVR roms. Go here for the details and download. Note, I haven't tested this myself so I welcome any feedback from other users. Enjoy! And thanks again to javistanford for porting it across.
Now confirmed working with new JS3 roms, like Doc's 9.1/Darky's 9.2 as well as other custom JPX/U/Y and JS3 roms.
WARNING: BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS IF YOU'RE USING TEGRAK'S KERNEL. MAKE A BACKUP! THE APPS THAT ARE PRESUMED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ARE DIALERTABACTIVITY.APK AND PHONE.APK, SO IF YOU'RE USING THAT KERNEL, DELETE THESE TWO APPS FROM THE ZIP BEFORE INSTALLING. THIS ISSUE IS BEING INVESTIGATED.
Introducing NeonGT (NeonGreenTheme):
Hi folks, NeonGreenTheme is my first theme for Android, having done some themes for WinMo back in the day. Greets to all fellow ex-winmo skinners. Because it is my first foray into the world of Android I'm sure some things may not work 100% perfectly, but I have tried to make sure that everything works well on my device (using Spike's JPY 5.1 rom) so it should be okay on other custom JPY roms, and possibly also JPU/X roms (please test if you're feeling brave, but make a backup first).
Confirmed working with Spike's 5.1 JPY, Darky's V7.7/8.0 JPY, Insanity 0.3.1 JPY and Doc's V8.0/1 JPY.
Some information on the theme:
The aim of NeonGT is to completely theme the core interface green on black. Green because the pixels are twice as sharp as red and blue. And black because it offers the best power savings.
The big notification icons are from the WDD Reflection Icons set.
Most of the gfx have been re-worked/replaced by myself, but I still have a few to do.
4 lockscreens.
Extended power menu.
Phone with recording function.
Multi-dpi Dialer and Calculator.
Skinned Power Control Widget.
etc.
Credits:
R64 for the framework base and some great advice
Poppuri & loza100 (and Atom960i) for the phone/dialer base and for finally figuring out how to change the clock to green.
Vukandric for the generous help
dena994 for donating the second post for the theming guide.
And everyone else I'm forgetting.
To do:
Skin mms, email, twlauncher and google search.
Remove clock from Epic lockscreen, maybe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: 10.02.2011 - RE-RELEASED VERSION 2.5
I am hoping this will have fixed the problems with the dialer. If any app icons go missing I suspect low system space/your rom/system corruption is the culprit. Make a backup just in case! A tip: flashing Darky's Resurrection rom with repartitioning seems to work in 100% of cases with the theme.
UPDATE: 09.02.2011 - VERSION 2.5
Green clock in status bar.
Themed phone.apk - including built-in call recording.
Updated dialer.
Etc.
This is a full release, meaning all the files are in one zip. You don't need to have any previous versions installed.
Here's the disclaimer: THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RARE ISSUES WITH THE PHONE AND DIALER DISAPPEARING. I AM STILL TRYING TO TRACK THE ISSUE DOWN BUT POSSIBLE CULPRITS COULD BE a) TEGRAK'S KERNEL b) LOW SPACE LEFT ON YOUR SYSTEM PARTITION c) AN ISSUE WITH EMAIL.APK, AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER USERS, OR d) SOME CORRUPTION ON YOUR SYSTEM. A FRESH INSTALL OF DARKY'S RESURRECTION ROM WILL FIX ANY ERRORS AND PROVIDE A CLEAN PLATFORM FOR FLASHING. I HAVE TESTED THIS PERSONALLY.
That said, please make a backup of your system before flashing!!! If you don't want to risk it then delete DialerTabActivity.apk, Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk from the theme zip, as well as the whole /system/lib folder. Then install as usual. Or install the two files separately. Links at the bottom of this post.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: 07.02.2011 - VERSION 2.4
Buttons now have borders.
Updated statusbar icons: tethering, headset, roaming, lock, bluetooth, silent
Updated pattern, puzzle & epic lockscreens.
Changed lockscreen clock font.
Modified progress bars.
Plus a few other small gfx tweaks.
Only apply this patch if you already have 2.x installed. Enjoy!
UPDATE: 06.02.2011 - VERSION 2.3
This fixes the wifi icon error and has a few more tweaks to the lockscreens.
Only apply if you already have version 2.0/2.1/2.2 installed.
Sorry for the hassles, this should be working fine now.
UPDATE: 05.02.2011 - VERSION 2.2
Changed the wifi icon again. It's now more like the old one except sharper.
Restored clocks back to the lockscreens. Will remove just the epic one later.
Plus a few more changes to the lockscreen graphics.
Only apply this patch if you have Version 2.0/2.1 already installed.
UPDATE: 05.02.2011 - VERSION 2.1
Skinned the Power Control Widget
Removed clock from epic, glass and puzzle lockscreens
Tweaked/replaced statusbar icons: wifi, chat, sync, sdcard, sim card, error, etc.
Revised the text edit box backgrounds
Changed the notification item highlight colour
Changed chat status icons back to red + green
Tweaked menu popup graphics
Optimized the pngs some more
Enjoy. Make sure you have version 2.0 installed before flashing this update!
UPDATE: 04.02.2011 - VERSION 2.0
Black Buttons only.
Lots more changes to the core apps.
Contacts and Alarm Clock are now fully skinned.
DialerTab tweaked.
Notification bar graphics updated (the tabs are a bit lighter than I'd like, but it makes reading black notification text easier).
etc.
In the interests of time and quality, from now on I will only be updating the black button version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But enough chit-chat. Screenshots speak louder than words:
From v2.4:
From v2.3-:

Wallpaper Pack: - DOWNLOAD
Neonchick Wallpapers (6 versions): - download attached to this post
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LauncherPro Docks:
New: NeonGT WDD Reflection LauncherPro Icon Pack added! Over 200 icons to match this theme. All credit to the original creator. I just greened them. (60x60 icons attached to this post, 128x128 version available here)
DON'T try to flash this file - it just contains png icons. Extract to your memory card then select the icons using LauncherPro.
Boot Animations:
Here's a couple of green Nexus S Boot Animations I made:
(Download links at the bottom of this post)
Also, here are a couple more animations that work well with the theme. There's this one, and this one here:
They work great, but I'm not going to package them with the theme because not all kernels support custom boot animations. Please make sure yours does before copying them over. All credits to the original creators and thanks for the tips, y0.o! and reflex9000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ONLY INSTALL THIS THEME ON CUSTOM ROMS. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH STOCK ROMS.
The apps include:
ClockPackage.apk
Contacts.apk
Phone.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
JobManager.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Settings.apk
TouchWizCalculator.apk
If you don't want a certain app installed (e.g. the dialer) then simply delete it from the zip before installing.
Flash the zip using ClockWorkMod Recovery (reboot holding volume up + home key + power button). Select "Install zip from sdcard", then "Choose zip from sdcard". First boot will take some time, so be patient.
I would advise clearing cache and dalvik cache from ClockworkMod recovery first. The "clear cache partition" option is on the main menu and "clear dalvik cache" is in the "Advanced CWM features" submenu. Also, please do a backup using nandroid (this is also accessible in the ClockworkMod menu) just in case something goes wrong.
If your rom doesn't have the stock Samsung music player you can download it from here.
Don't flash the icons pack or the wallpapers, they are regular zips.
Please report any bugs and I'll try my best to fix them. Still figuring some of this stuff out so be patient and make a backup. Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO MAKE A BACKUP FLASHABLE ZIP OF YOUR CURRENT THEME:
Using 7-zip or WinRAR, take a look inside the downloaded theme zip file. In there browse to the /system/framework and /system/app folders - these are the files that get installed.
What you need to do is make a note of the file names, then go to your phone and make a copy of the same files from /system/framework and /system/app to a folder on your sdcard.
Then copy this folder over to your pc.
Make a copy of the theme zip and call it e.g. mybackup.zip. Open mybackup.zip and copy the files you've backed up into their respective folders, overwriting the ones that are already there.
Close 7-zip/WinRAR and you're done.
Backup created. You can flash it using ClockworkMod recovery.

HOW TO MAKE A THEME by JuMbA
Hi all, I've had a lot of requests for different colours. Let me briefly explain the process so you can understand the complexities involved. It may also inspire you to try it out yourself.
-------------------
Tools Needed:
Android SDK package - add the (sdkpath)/tools folder to your windows environment variable.
Version 1.3.1 (not 1.3.2) of APKTool.
Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks (or other advanced image editing software).
PSPad Editor (or other valid xml editor).
Latest version of the NeonGT theme.
PNGOptimizer.
7-zip.
Extract framework-res.apk from the theme zip file. Decompile this file using APKTool into a folder on your hard drive.
In this folder, edit the xmls in the /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/color , layout , values and drawable folders to change the theme colours to what you like. Note that if you want to recolour the other aspects of the UI such as Task Manager, Contacts, Dialer, Settings, DownloadsProvider, etc. then you will need to repeat this process with all the other .apks in the /system/app folder of the theme zip file. I cannot give detailed xml editing instructions here, but there are a lot of guides available via google.
Now onto the graphics. Take a look inside the /res/drawable-(x)/ folders. Leave all the files that end in .9.png for now, we will get to those in a bit.
You will need to recolour all the .png files, either by using automations in photoshop or batch commands in Gimp etc. so you can recolour a bunch of images at a time. However, mass recolouring is NOT advised due to subtle variations in the original icons that sometimes come out looking horrible if you do a Hue adjustment to all the files at once.
Beware though, because earlier versions of Photoshop (at least CS3) don't handle transparency in 8-bit .pngs, so you'll need to open these in Fireworks instead, or use a 3rd-party plugin like PNGOut for photoshop.
So let's say you've made it this far and have hand/batch-edited a couple of thousand images and successfully edited the colours in all the relevant .xml files. Next is to tackle the .9.png images.
These are different in that they are encoded with stretchable area information so they are able to be scaled in size without distorting the edges or gradients. I kinda like them. :O
If you open any of the decompiled .9.png images in your image editor you will notice they have a transparent 1px block around the image with some black lines. The top and left lines mark the area of the image that can be stretched and the right and bottom lines mark the space that can be occupied by the content of the image before any stretching takes place. I hope this makes sense - it will in time.
You can edit these images using the Fireworks/Photoshop method you used earlier with the regular pngs, but be 100% sure not to change the colour/transparency/lightness/brightness/etc. of the outer 1px border. This is essential or the .9.pngs will not compile. So if all you want to do is recolour the images you'll need to edit them one by one (or be handy with photoshop automations) to make sure the border remains unchanged.
At this point you may also want to run the images through PNGOptimizer to make sure they aren't too big.
Compile using APKTool. Rename the resulting framework-res.apk to .apk.zip and open with 7-zip. Delete the assets folder in the 7-zip window. Open the original theme framework-res.apk file in 7-zip and drag the META-INF and assets folders over to the other 7-zip window, adding them to the new framework-res.apk.zip. Close and rename the new file back to .apk
Oh, I almost forgot, you'll need to repeat this process with Settings.apk and twframework-res.apk.
Almost done. Make a copy of the theme zip file and rename it to (mygroovynwethemeorwhatever).zip - then open it and navigate to the /system/framework folder - drag your new framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk into this window, click OK - navigate to /system/app and drag over all your other new .apks, click OK and close 7-zip.
Pray. Flash using ClockworkMod.

looks interesting. I will give it a try on Darkys 8.0 and report back

Nice work mate. Green is my favorite colour. Will report back

wow,
I love how you themed all the images to match the idea and the image quality looks good too.
Nice work

I must say "WELL DONE"
It looks really cool, let's say "Borg - like"
And I do not like Borgs :-D
I mean the green color. But theme itself is really good. Can you make it in blue?
Will you allow me to take some parts from it, and include it (with credits) in my own theme?
I am still playing with themes, I have made few myself, few was re-constructed from other themes. Especially I like icons you have made. They are cute.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. I'll possibly look at other colours in future but, as I'm sure the other themers know, editing thousands of pngs takes ages. Gonna take a break once I've skinned more system apps then see what's next. fyi, the font is Calibri.
Will you allow me to take some parts from it, and include it (with credits) in my own theme?

He would have to change every single png file to make it blue, it is really hard work, especially changing. 9 pngs. So don’t expect it soon. Give the man the credit for this awesome theme first!

Thank you-GREAT theme

Tnx for the feedback. Please let me know if it's tested successfully on your rom (I'm mainly interested in JPU/X results).

Just installed the theme over darky v.8 and i love it.
1 thing though notification bar is to transparent. I see the icons trough the icons look a litle bit messie.
Sorry for my english

Cheers m8, I was wondering if it wasn't too transparent. Will make the dropdown darker.

Looks sexy, will test out after work.

Updated to V1.1 - Darker notification pulldown

Absolutely beautiful

Looks pretty awesome, was sick of everyone making blue themes
gonna download and install it right now!

[MOD][HOW-TO] Custom soft key background images [THREAD CLOSED]

REQUESTS CLOSED
THREAD CLOSED
MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS THREAD OR ARCHIVE
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, COLD FUSION, ACCIDENTAL INSTANCES OF INTERNAL REVELATION, OR BRICKED DEVICES.
* THIS IS TESTED ON (LTE) 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, CM9 KANGED, should work on all until there is some significant SYSTEMUI changes, feel free to make requests, comments, suggestions, as I'm new to this
* I really would like to make some custom lock rings, as I saw the *.png's in framework-res.apk, but even changing them the stock lock and ring on the lock screen remained, so if anyone has any thoughts on that let me know.
Its 99.999% impossible (might as well be 100%) to brick using this method
etc.,
We're all familiar with the subtle cyan flash behind our soft keys, most of us are probably aware that its possible to change the color, but its also possible to change it to an image. I'm going to be making many more so please submit requests and ideas but here are just a couple and an example screenshot of it in action, keep in mind this is only when you actually press down the soft key, not a permanent background.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN
------------------------------------------------------
******************************************
I suggest creating a folder called softkeymods on your desktop, and in that make a new folder for all your different projects
because you can't change the zip file name without changing the xml, and since most of you probably don't want to do that, just do this, or ignore it and go your way
What I'm saying is you may create like 10 of your own zips with your own png's however the zip file name has to remain the same to work, so you won't be able to tell which is which etc., anyways lets do this. You can also do the same thing in your AndroidThemes folder at the root of your internal storage on the phone. Or if your daring, change the associate xml file to match the newly created zip file name if you wish.
1. open the downloaded zip in winzip/winrar etc.,
2. pull out the *.png down deep in the hierarchy
SystemUI > res > drawable-xhdpi > ic_sysbar_highlight.png
3. take the ic_sysbar_highlight.png and open it in your favorite image editing software... I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro
4. Get creative drag things in like other images, etc., just remember whatever you leave blank on the png, stays blank, which is not a bad thing, looks clear on the phone etc., keep that in mind
5. hit save when your done
6. drag it back into the SystemUI > res > drawable-xhdpi directory of the zip replacing the other one
7. put it in the folder of your new project and name the folder so you know what it is
8. now create the same folder in AndroidThemes folder on your internal storage
9. Unplug the phone as to unmount storage, or unmount it manually, your choice
10. open MetaMorph, download from market if you haven't already, free one is fine
11. tap Unzip / Extract new theme
12. find the folder of your newly created project
13. tap the zip, if its your first time doing this just hit close, but if you've done this before you'll have to hit update, then close
14. Tap apply all at the bottom right
15. Most likely SystemUI.apk wil crash and phone will be unusable
16. just pull the battery and reinsert and turn back on
17. enjoy your custom softkeys
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

For clarification, could I pull my current system ui and push it back later in case I want to revert the change?
Thanks for working out this mod!

I'd like no have NO background and just have the soft buttons that way I can get my .1 inches of the display back LOL. Think it's possible?

Its just a black background. If it was transparent I dont think the screen would go down that far and if it did the soft buttons would be covering the dock so it wouldnt work. Thats why they made the screen the size it is so usable space is about 4.5 inches

Awesome idea!
rings are in drawablexhdpi...those other ones you found idk why they are there
I've done a couple ...they are neat.

Actually it should work.. if you break the systemUI.apk file the useable screen extends Down to the bottom of the screen. The buttons would still be there so you couldn't say place buttons there but it could make a pretty sweet look..

I'm assuming that this only works if you're on stock soft keys? This won't work for soft key mods with search keys will it?

should still work, it modifies one png in the /system/app/SystemUI.apk which is the png for the flash in the background of the softkey, so the beauty of it is, it will either work or it wont work, but nothing bad can come of it. I'm betting it'll work for sure, unless the xml was edited to pull the background flash png from another place or with another file name, hence the reason i say it'll either work or not work, but nothing bad can happen, so give it a shot and let me know, so i Can add it to the OP.

What about custom soft-key functions? I'm longing for the search/voice search button that my old DInc had.
Not sure why Google left this out in the GN :~(

Just tried this mod on zygot3 with the custom launcher. It didnt work, took away the soft buttons. Oh well I really love this mod but I also love having the settings button down there too... torn... lol

I can't do that because it's mostly apps. But I could make a custom cm7 ROM like the miui one where it's all pre installed.
I do have the status bar layout zip if you want it, but I don't know if it works on all versions of cyanogenmod.
I am going to sleep now, and see if I can put all the flash zips into one tomorrow

Hi,
when applying your theme on CM7.2 KANGO (latest nightly), colors/background in application Tasker are out of control (just doesn't look so good anymore) + some settings does have BLACK text on GREY background (it's not very readable). And thanks for custom layouts, it works (my wife's WildFire almost looks and behave like my Galaxy S with ICS ;-) )

thx . awesome!

I'm not sure about anything in tasker, I'll download the app now and look at the problems.
Its on the Wildfire S right, and if its not is it on a MDPI phone?

Hey again,
Isnt it black-grey because you/your wife played with the theme settings?
Try changing things there, and it should work.
On default it all works for me.

I have started creating a custom CM7 rom that will have all this pre-included, plus the crappy gallery removed and added quickpic.

Hi, no, she wasn't playing with any settings, she better doesn't even touch it Actually when applying any other theme, it's fine.Now she is on Cyanbread and it's totally ok. It's really Wildfire S. Don't know what could be the problem....
