[Q] Anyone willing to Port over this theme?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959065
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...

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

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.

[REQ][HOWTO] Making your own battery mod?

People are using different rom's , some other are asking for specific mod etc
Could someone write some guide how to do it, to enlight those who are not aware ?

Take the framework-res.apk from your current rom and upload it to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Once uploaded go to battery mod and select the battery style u want and cook it.
When its cooked extract the framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and either replace it with root explorer or push it with adb back into the phone.

Depends of which rom you are running but if you use VillainRom I think you need to open your modded framework with 7-zip and replace "META-INF" directory with the one found in the original framework of your rom. This is needed to sign the file.
However I'm not sure you use VillainRom (where files must be signed) and I didn't use yet the kitchen ... but your feedback is usefull if you want to try ...

Ok so ignore what I said upper ... should be only for signature of the rom (not needed in stock roms).
Anyway ... if someone has the solution ...

I always made that on my own...
Open the decompiled .xml in the framework-res.apk, edit those lines, add my own battery.pngs and that was all...
I didnt test it on my sgs2... But it should be the same way to get it...

could you tell which .xml to edit and what to add within the file?

I juz grab one of the batt mod out there and replace the .png files under /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the ones I want. guess its kind of a lazy way to do it=)

I have KE2 and get a "signature verification failed" error when trying to apply the UOT.zip file :-(
Anyone some idea how to get this applied?
Also my original framework-res.apk file doesn't have any folder called "/res/drawable-hdpi-v4" but the UOT file has!?

[APP][THEMED]+[DIY]HTC lockscreen without shortcut icons

hey guys i read that many wanted htc's lockscreen without those shortcut icons.
So here I present it to you.
Instructions:
Just flash in CWM recovery and enjoy and also thank me.
just for stock sense roms (android 2.3.5)
Dont know if it will work on deodexed stock rom.
Purely works on odexed stock roms(android 2.3.5).
[DIY]
1.) Pull the HtcLockscreen.apk from system/app
2.) On your computer rename the file to Htclockscreen.zip .
3.) Open it using any archive manager and go to res/drawable-mdpi
4.) Extract png named lockscreen_shortcutpanel.png
5.) Edit it in any software which supports transparent pngs ( example paint.net on windows)
And make it completely transparent.
6.) Now again open Htclockscreen.zip and go to res/drawable-mdpi and exchange the file we edited.
7.) Now rename the archive to .apk and push it back to system/app on your phone.
8.) Now real part - when you'll restart you'll see the shortcuts- don't panic I am sure you did it right . This time the shortcuts won't have the background if you followed everything correctly.
9.) Install an app you know you'll never use.
10.) Change all the shortcuts to that app and........ And unistall that app and go see your beautiful lockscreen.
Please post and tell if it worked.
It will cause that is what the zip has and it worked on my friends wfs too.Also don't forget to thank me and share this with everyone who has sense with this type of lockscreen. You can post it any where just give me a little credit bcoz typing a tutorial on phone kills fingers

Only Sense 3.5 has this feature... HTC's lockscreen (Sense 2.1 one) is buggy in WFS. I'll try it when I install Sense ROM again.

Won't flash for me.
Gives error 0
Installation aborted
Looks nice though, if you have any idea why, I'd be grateful.

Don't know man but if you say I'll create another package and pm you the link
I used app2 zip for making it .
Works for me all the time .
Currently on cm9 so why don't u just try extracting and copying the three files to the internal memory.
And thanks for the sense keyboard its easier to type now.

Added a DIY for those having problem. Well I edited the app on my phone cause I live in hostel and don't have a computer.
@ONeill123 - seems like you had been searching for this since january. Use the DIY and make it for yourself. Sorry can't help more than that. Not too much familiar with odex and deodex terms.

you can try don't know if it will work, but what i know works is
take you new .png copy it to your phone's storage with your comp. then rename the extention in root explorer from .png to .jpg then it hacks the extension and remains a .png that is uneditable but is read by the system as a .jpg

just use 7zip and select .apk as a default file, then you don't need to rename it as rar

No need to check since nunggg since just replace a image file. The version code of the apk remain the same. Now you installed it as a update apk in data/app/, once once reboot the update version will be cleaned.
Better solution is replace it manually, like nunggg told you.

SystemUI & Sense

Hello everyone,
I'm still newbie with HTC-Sense, Usually all my themes/mods are build from pure android.
But in HTC, Whatever changes i did in SystemUI and after successfully flash the modified one using flashable zip, Nothing is actually changed!
What i know is SystemUI.apk in Vanilla Android goes under System folder and in Sense under Priv-app folder.
So my question is, is there are another Sense-SysytemUI related hiding somewhere? Or i need a special/extra permission in updater-script?
Thanks guys,

You should check out this thread if you haven't already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697205

I believe recent apps is part of the sense launcher, maybe you find more luck in the prism.apk !
