Excalibur in 96 DPI

IMO it looks really really nice but of course all the system icons aren't adapted to the new resolution...if any of you know how to edit DLLs and can make an icon set that is adapted to the new resolution it'd be greatly appreciated
to achieve the resolution all you have to do is set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX] from 131 to 96 in decimal

Call me crazy but I can't see much of a difference in graphics aside from the extra real estate, which is evident through the additional menu items listed per screen. Has your device been less stable or slower since making the switch? Also, I heard that you need specific .dlls to make the top icons fit properly, is this true and if so where did you get them?

the device is completely stable....and the top icons never worked except the pngs from the rinku topbar. and those are cut off a bit because of the new settings. i know u need specific dll edits and im hoping one of the big dogs could cook a few up for me. ALL the system icons are jagged under 96dpi...and the call screen is also out of wack. i like it cause it looks nicer and makes file browsing easier...so yea. imma keep up hope.

bump x 2.4

so no help with this 96dpi issue? sheesh. the vox people already have a fully functional 96dpi rom....

so I'm never gonna have anyone take this request into consideration huh?
aiight....

joining prayers...
Hey, nice finding man!
If I had any skills as programmer I´d be working on it, but since I have none, all I can do is join you in your requests/prayers... lol
Seriously, can any skilled willing programmer/developer give the guy a help? I guess many will enjoy it.
Cheers.

@ AbsoluteDesignz
I´ve got a little question on the dpi matter...
Do you know if is there any intermediate (between 131 and 96) dpi that can be set without messing the phone up?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

ive tried 108, 120, and even went as low as 72...every setting aside from the 131 has the same issues. White System Notification Icons, Jagged system Icons and STK icons out of wack (in 96 DPI the only icons that work are the default ones and in other settings the proportions are off)

I'm with you guys! Let's make this happen!

you need to edit them to get the icons working

well the main point was that I don't know how to edit the dlls to get the icons working....i figured someone might...so I was asking for help....

you can use this

Thanks rickwyatt, I´ll give it a try.
Unfortunatelly, I guess I´ll have some progress only by Sunday, since I´m loaded with work and deadlines...
Cheers.

thank u all for any and all assistance

i dont know how to edit DLLs so i never tried it. in the vox forums they successfully did it so im sure it'll work for the Dash. truth is im waiting for one of the more knowledgeable people to successfully edit the DLLs....heres to hope...
and the basic gist of the new look can be seen on the first page or in the Vox forums

[THEME] upcoming theme ALIEN RC33 compatible

this is a theme that i am working on right now, and my first theme on android, still trying to decide what icons to use, using several from a variety of artists on deviant art, this isn't done yet but i figure if i can keep working as i am on it and don't get snagged on anything then it should be up soon. let me know if you know of any good icons to go with the theme, i'm liking black glossy images and and a little orange and green. the wallpaper is the alienware head and i can even post my splash screen if anyone would like a splash screen to go with the theme. i'm up fo r suggestions, right now i'm about half done with the system folder and gonna start framework-res.apk most likely mid day tomorrow pending how busy i am.
let me know what you think, keep in mind that i am currently just editing the FadetoBlue theme found HERE and that 90% of what i am doing was inspired by damnitpud, and made possible by stericson and jesusfreke. anything blue you see in these images will most likely be changed before release, unless i decide it looks good. let me know what you think. and if anyone knows what images to edit to change the glowing android i would love to make him a white alienhead.
open for any suggestions especially if you know of or have some icons to go with this.
here's the splashscreen i'm using too

EDIT: since the theme contest is underway, i might save this theme until it is "perfect" i want to enter the contest and i don't wanna release it before it is too soon, i will keep everyone posted on the whereabouts and possibly invite a few members for beta testing as i know i can't possibly find all the bugs on my two phones during daily usage

Looks great Tuba King let me know when you are done and I will put it up on my Theme website and host it if you want.

cool, thanks. i can upload the zip file here, and i have a 4shared account, but when i get it to what i have in mind i'll let you know and you can mirror it on your site.

my suggestion would be to replace the android head on add menu tab with somethign that flows better. I like the background image, Maybe mod that a bit to fit down there.

That's already on my list, hoping also to do some xml edits cause the theme I'm using as the backbone to this one has some edits like the keygaurd screen says fadetoblue and I don't want my androidware theme to have some other name on it. At work now so I can't work on my theme but hopefully it'll look half as good on the phone as it does in my head

Looks like a FadeToBlue with a different wallpaper to me

currently yes, that is because, as menttioned twice, i have used fade to blue as a back bone and am just editing the images to go with my theme idea, i have damnitpud's permission and have changed most of the icons for apps so far and will be working on things like status bar and such that all go in the framework-res.apk tomorrow

read above post

hey i think that it look like a very nice start.. i too got a theme and starting to develope it from there to my liking... I think that if you were to change the clock to be all black and gray instead of the black fade to blue... good start...

oops my bad...keep it up..

updated: i decided to go back to the original theme and edit it since i can't manage to edit the color on some of damnitpuds images, and so this should make it a little easier, i edited the status bar thanks to stericson and made it black, unfortunately it makes the clock invisible, doesn't bother me all that much, but it might bug some of you. i am maybe 1/4 of the way through the framework-res.apk which is where 90% of the images that need to be edited are. hope to have this ready to be submitted to the theme contest soon so i can get it to you guys, hope you like where it's at so far

Dark Hero 4.0.4 09/03 Stericson's New Updates To the Lockscreen Also Changed Some Things In It Graphic Wise DO NOT WIPE BEFORE OR AFTER FLASHING AND IF YOU HAVE AN ANALOG CLOCK ON YOUR HOMESCREEN REMOVE FROM HOMESCREEN BEFORE FLASHING

good job on this... but just as a heads up, you should probably add a screen shot of the clock it does come with or mention in the op that the "hero" style clock seen can be downloaded from the market. a lot of people are going to wonder why its not in the theme by default...

There you go clock and music widget it was already in the theme i just didnt think to take a screenshot of it

cool beans... itll saves you the headache of people asking, where can i get that clock widget? and trust me it will come in a flurry like on other threads... have you notice any loss in functionality with this theme on this rom? im going to flash it anyways but i wanted to know if you noticed any yet....

Very cool about to download and check it out. Are the button highlights green or orange? (I guess I'll find out, but other's might want to know.)

no i rebuilt it specifically for this rom because its the one i use

button highlights are actually grey and dark grey

Do you know what is the name of "hero" style clock on the market?

You really shouldn't be putting that "extra" file in there, as it is a paid app. That is against policy to do this.

Need help with Theme

I'm working on my first theme but I'm having issues figuring out why I cant change some notifications to match the status bar. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I have no idea, but you can try to just strip the background away and leave it transparent an make sure your custom icons are Centered correctly. I haven't had the problem you're having but in theory the transparent method might work.

if you just make the icon bg's transparent then they will still look fine if you change your notibar color (unless u change it to white )
OR
you could open up one of the icons that does match the notibar and copy/paste that gradient to the one you need to fix
also, I don't know if this would create a problem but I always make sure to save icons and such as "save for web and mobile devices" in photoshop

I did try to copy onto a gradient icon that did work. For some reason it still came out wrong as you see on the image.
"save for web and mobile devices" would this help with image size? Currently they are coming out nearly triple of stock. example stock icon=1.31kb modded icon=3.97. I'm sure stripping the gradient will help but is still huge compared to stock.

i use cs5 fireworks for editing all pngs and no change for editing .9's. like neb said you can either find each add'l file and redo filter repeatedly through all the bg's or you can just make them transparent like neb said. He knows what hes talking about.....i know darch needs an evo too neb, but what about yours?

I'm loving it!!!
This thing is frakin amazing!!

Ok so I took out everything except for what I needed. No gradient nothing else left but the white notification icon. Then exported it with "save for web & devices" (this helped on file size thanks) Now what its doing is, icon appears correctly when its slide down into position, but then the icon stock background color gets added on (wrong gradient). Its so quick but I can see it happening.
On the plus side some did change like all battery icons and wifi, but the rest seem to be doing what I explained above very frustrating. Ive attached one of the icon's that I'm working on if anybody whats to help me out.
Rom Fresh 0.3 if that helps any.

[REQUEST] Sense 4.0 MMS Theme

I know nothing about theming but would LOVE to see a theme that makes the AOSP MMS look like the MMS on the One X. If anyone could do this or has a link to one that already works for our ATT GS3 I'd appreciate it!

Are you sure its from the One X? Maybe the messaging apk can be pulled. I'm trying to find these images myself.

Doubt that the HTC MMS app would work without the sense framework. Found some themes for the older Galaxy Nexus touchwiz MMS and one looks nearly identical to this one but it doesn't work. I'm all for theming the touchwiz MMS as I love the lock screen notifications and am not a fan of any of the aftermarket MMS apps.

Here's Something I've been tinkering around with an am currently using. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the blue from the HTC theme better aligned on the left side so if anyone can assist I'd greatly appreciate it. Anyway, these are all in a modified SecMms.apk which I'll upload if anyone's interested. I also added that white background as a choice.
P.S. Please be aware that this is a rough hack so maybe someone could help me clean up the file a little. I'm just an intermediate modder who just like to see modest theme options.
Extra Note: I had to rar the file in order to upload it due to the forum size limits for uploads. Just extract the apk.

Upload your SecMms.apk and I'll decode it and see if I can help correct the alignment.

Done.

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. You have a message_skin_bubble.xml and message_bubble_activity.xml under res/layout/. I'm not real familiar with Android system layout, but I would think one of these two, or both would control text layout in the bubble. There's a line in message_bubble_activity: "gallery_receive_vertical" android: paddingLeft="10.0dip"", try changing 10.0dip to... say, 12.0? And if that isn't it, try in message_skin_bubble, change "android:layout_marginLeft="9.0dip" />" to say 11.0dip?
I'm going on a limb from just glancing at it and not really sure if that's the controlling xmls. I'm having trouble rebuilding the apk or I'd test it myself. I'll see what I can do when I get home. :laugh:

Sounds good. Although, so far, I only changed the images by opening the .apk. I didn't decompile or recompile. I simply took images from other devices that I've owned or found on xda and swapped and renamed image files. They worked on all of them except for the blue htc bubble in the first image.

Well thinking more about it, if my suggestion did skew the text, which it may or may not, it will also skew the text in every bubble which we don't want... perhaps I can edit the original blue bubble image to allow the text to center.

That would be great. I tried doing it in Photoshop. I no PS expert but I'm ok so maybe there is something I'm missing. The png file would look fine and would save ok but the image would become stretched in the actual mms app.

is there anyway to add emoji support to it?
