[THEME] Robotech - Macross JFv1.5 Hv1.5r3

Built this theme upon request by a friend who recently bought a G1 from me. Being a huge fan myself I had a lot of fun w/ this one =) Features JrBourque's red VK. If anyone wants a port, this can be done relatively easy so feel free to throw that out there if interested.

Aight. Decided to make the switch this evening so I ported my latest theme over. Ended up ranting bout a bunch of stuff that came to my mind after the icons of this theme were criticized. Here is the link and screen shots to spare anyone not interested bout the rant lol. To give credit where credit is due, I compiled JrBourque's Red VK into this build. Anyone who need's a custom VK should hit him and Diaztradeinc up asap. Quality stuff fo sho.

Thus far, posting this las night (in Hv1.5 form) I've only gotten one post of criticism regarding the icons... but I don't really care. I'm open to constructive criticism within my means and MO, but I'm not here to please absolutely everyone. I enjoy making these things, have a zillion different ideas for themes that I'd like to see on my own phone and will continue to post them up as I make them, for whomever might be interested in them (no point in keeping them to myself).
This criticism over my icons put a lot on my mind today so I suppose I'll take the opportunity to put it out there. There seem to be 2 destinctive types of themes to me - Graphic driven themes and Subject driven themes. By graphic driven theme I mean those like Aero and Gloss that are based on no subject but built from scratch, open completely to unique artistic creation to no end. By subject driven themes, well, that's self explanatory (IE Mario, X-men, Punisher, Spider-Man, Gambit, Megaman, Robotech etc. etc. etc.).
Don't expect any of my themes to be graphic driven themes. Subject matter inspires me to build these themes, not graphic design, and I really don't see that changing anytime soon. I really only do this for the enjoyment of seeing my work and particular subjects come to fruition and don't have much interest in pushing my graphic art skills beyond where they currently are. I'd consider my graphic art skills intermediate at best. My skills are not nearly up to par w/ other designers on here. I'm far more inspired to see themes based on my favorite comic books and anime (among other potential mediums) come to fruition than I am to take the time to create unique and original designs. I'm in constant awe of what other members create and share w/ the community. I'm not in this for competition or comparison. I'll let peeps do their thang while I do mine. Jus in this for my own personal enjoyment and there's no point in keeping the fruits of my labors to myself if anyone else is ever interested in running it themselves.
To speak more directly regarding my feelings about icons representing the individual apps instead of the subject matter... in building a subject driven theme, I feel if the icons don't represent the subject in particular, they aren't nearly as interesting. I guess I think of it in the terms of what a Desktop theme would look like (because, Android really is a miniaturized desktop afterall). Even if I extracted a calculator (for example) from the source of the subject (like a calculator that appears in an episode of Robotech in this case), it wouldn't be recognizable as representation of that subject unless it were a character holding a friggin calculator or something. And if an icon like that was made you really wouldn't see the calculator once the image was scaled to the small size that the system icons are.
My work being criticized as though it should be similar to other themes in this regard bothered me enough that I guess I felt compelled to rant and explain my point of view, (and if you're readin this, naw man, I'm still not offended, jus put a lot on my mind). Anyways. This thing is long enough I suppose lol

OK... but don't you think you could make the icons at least sort of related to the apps?

If I wasn't at such a loss for source material I would have. I'm not kidding. About 80 or 90 google image search pages later I was still at square 2 where in previous endeavors id be at square 6.
Besides, I DO honestly strive for that (my settings icon in my Megaman theme being a good example of that, it was the start menu of MM2), however, I compare my work to that of a couple other cats on here and their icons aren't too particular to the individual apps either.
I agree. It would be REALLY sweet to be able to be that specific but the truth of the matter is I'm decent w/ Gimp (photoshop clone, much better), but I'm no ace by any means. There aren't enough pictures out there to do such a thing in the way id prefer. Calendar/calculator for example. Don't know if either ever appeared in a robotexh episode but if they did, even though it was taken from robotech it wouldn't feel in accordance w/ the theme cuz it wouldn't be familiar looking at all nor would it be destinctively related to the subject matter.
Sorry for the novel lol. You touched a softspot for me, not in a way that I'm offended at all, more like I WISH I COULD make the icons in stronger accordance w/ the individual apps but it's just not possible.
Id actually be curious to see someone else's attempt at such. Do you know of a charicter/show/whatever based theme that's been able to pull this off well? If so you should point me in that direction so I can scope it out

Man. Ain't no other Robotech fans up on here? Really? =) guess I stand alone. Or maybe no one is running H's 1.5 anymore now that he's released 6.0 =) I'm actually gonna update my phone to JFs 1.5 update so I think ill be porting it anyways and when I do ill post the port as well I guess.

Would be nice if you could make a proper Samurai Champloo, after seeing this I'm sure it will be great

Haha I just posted on the other one. Do you have to wipe for this? I haven't flashed a theme in a good while, also like i posted there is there any way that you can make a Samurai Champloo? After seeing this i would jump on your work of SC

Ha ha ha. FUNNY thing you mention that. I just decided this evening to start workin on a Cowboy Bebop theme. The robotech theme was on my list and when my friend bought a G1 from me and said "hey you should make a robotech theme" I took that as a sign. Now a dif friend is buyin a G1 from me on Sat and said "hey you should build a cowboy bebop theme" (which was also on my list =)) followed just a few hours later by "man a Samurai Champloo theme would be awesome too" lol. So I'm thinking at this point w/ 2 people already requesting both, both being on my list, that I can't make one w/ out doing the other ha ha. Once my Cowboy Bebop theme is done and released I'll def have to dive into Samurai Champloo as well ha ha.
Oh and, no wipe necessary. What build are you running? If you're runnin Haykuro's 1.5 jus flash it and it should update fine (in which case you'd want to grab the Hv1.5 theme on the other thread). Same w/ JF's too. =)

Ah perfect! Damn i wish i would have known this earlier to beat your friend and have you make the Samurai Champloo first but a man can wait I'm running JF1.51 ADP. So maybe you can work on it... whenever you're done a nice thank you will be heading your way

Yeah. there are some major complications regarding 1.51 US that I wasn't really wanting to get into. I'll prolly look into it further but ultimately the only real dif between 1.5 and 1.51 was MyFaves and Amazon for me so I decided against updateing. And from what I understand, flashing a theme built on 1.5 onto 1.51 US doesn't really work right =(. If someone figures out an easy way to extract the framework-res.apk I might jump on board. Otherwise I might actually look into 1.51 UK (which is also compatible w/ the JF1.5 themes that I'm constructing I do believe). I'm pretty sure that the only thing dif about US and UK is that the US f/w has My Faves, which isn't really a big deal since you can adjust your faves (if you even have any) using t mo's website.

heh, CbBb, my all-time favorite anime/show/whatever. I was thinking of one a while back, thought of making it real subtle, in-so-that only a fan would know it was anime/Cowboy Bebop. Heavy use of the opening credit style, pictures of the swordfish, profile silhouettes, etc etc etc.

yeah man. I actually think you'll be in good shape then. Pretty sure the US build is the only one w/ that issue. If you flashed this robotech theme (or the Megaman one I ported for JF 1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515742 ) that'll tell ya whether this CbBb theme and the SC theme to follow will work or not =) using the same template to build these.

Naw I was actually thinkin of goin Green for the Samurai Champloo one. there are some graphics I remember seeing around the net I'm already thinking of incorporating into the theme lol. I can't help myself. Just can't stop. Haven't been able to get any more than 5 hours of sleep a night and have been completely exhausted but still can't seem to pull myself away from my computer lol.

"ScrewPaw" Redux?

How many people would be interested in having this theme ported to latest versions of CM? Porting it shouldn't really be hard at all however I was thinking to keep everyone happy and people off our backs that I would maintain the layout of the theme but keep it inline with the CM roms I.E Cyanogize it a bit

i'm not a big fan of the screwpaw theme, but you know, i think any progress for the sake of android is good i think it should be updated

I would love it if you would update it to the latest Cyan build. I like the way the theme is but how would you Cyanogize it?

Most definitely interested.

i don't think so as for the fact it would kinda kill what the point was of the original one. Maybe do a different look though. There could only be one ScrewPaw IMO

I have it mostly ported over as-is for my g1 now but I kinda feel like doing something different with it. I like the layout and all but some of the graphics just doesn't quite feel right on the g1
maybe ill make CyanPaw

any luck with getting this done?

Do it, and I like the name CyanPaw

Yep. Count me among the "ayes"

woo cant wait for this. ill get it on my cyanogen when its ready

i really love the theme how it is already.
the only think i hated was the version 3.9.7? with the stones as the background as the app drawer. it looked out of place.
the background of the app drawer before that was waaaay sexy. the dark picture with trees and the lovely scenery.
also, you should change the bootupscreen, it's already been suggested but this would be awesome haha.
android peeing on palm.

Yeah i'm in, been jumping back and forth from xrom to screwpalm. not really fond of the rocks in.9 tho, you could ditch that for sure.

please do.
ive been switching themes everyday and i cant find one i liked as much as screwpaw.

any update on the progress of developing this theme for us cyanogen users? =]

keep up good work
keep up the good work man. Don't listen to others saying don't make it. I am a big fan of it and can't wait till you get the latest version out.or do you have it out? if so can you please send it to me in private message or email.. thanx a lot. that would be much appreciated. Wish has a version out, but it's not the latest, so if you could work on the latest cynogen releases, that'd be awesome

Well the thread with the 4.02 theme has been removed, can anyone pm me the link to the rapidshare location? I have it in my history but I accidently cleared it...

http://miano.us/android
favorite the site if you'd like - I'll continue porting as the updates are made to the rom.

[Q] BRAVIA Rom?

So what's the scoop? It looks like a sweet ROM I was curious what the major differences are. I assume it has some extra functionality or something but I haven't been able find much of substance the wiki page on it wasn't exactly useful...

I've been wondering myself what differences come along with a "bravia engine".
Sent from this phone

Yeah, everyone links to the Wiki page for BRAVIA which has next to no information about cellphones and pretty much completely worthless unless you want to learn about their advertising campaign...

That's typically my method, but I research before flashing a new ROM, saves me a headache and spares devs from stupid questions. There just seems to be a lack of info on just a few areas & I don't want to play the flashing game to only gain a few icon changes and transition animations. I'm currently on calks' 2.8.1 and love all aspects of it. Smart guy, that Calk! Don't mistake research for laziness, that's not my thing.

The point I was trying to make is. Flash it and report your findings back. Contribute back instead of asking more questions. I don't know about you but I like finding things myself. Not relying on others. I just get sick of all the questions that can be so easily answered by doing your own research.
And about the map thing if you still can't find your way out of the forest with a map. Then you need to go back to the boy scouts and study up a bit.lol.geesh.

See the thing is I asked one question. When a ROM is so different than the rest I like to have any idea what the extra stuff DOES. Even playing with it I am unlikely to figure it out if I don't know what it's for to begin with. I figured I would ask what the other people here knew about it. You are obviously ignorant of any useful information so while your contribution has been worthless it has certainly wasted a few people's time so there is that.
In regards to the map I take it you've never actually been in the woods without a way to tell what direction you're going have you? Must be nice to think the sun shines every day, maps show everything to be seen, and compasses/GPS grow on trees.

You can disagree with him all you want but, he makes a valid point. The thread for the ROM had pretty much all the answers you need and the OP for the ROM has been more patient than anyone gives him credit for. Try it out. Nand your current ROM flash the Bravia ROM and see for yourself. Q and A is a great place to ask questions but, only if you've exhausted all other avenues. Otherwise you're just clutter.

Also it's a great ROM. Sure it's in alpha but, that's expected it's pulling all kinds of cool stuff from another OEM. The time he spent would be worth it in my opinion...drunk or sober lol.

just seems like a theme to me.... bravia wont run correctly unless the hardware is there... i guess its like installing Radeon HD9500 video drivers on a intel vga adapter... bravia engine was the video cards used inside Sonys TVs and such... how his applys to a non-sony phone? I have no idea... but regardless, its just something to tinker around with.. no harm done.

I agree, I tried the ROM the other day. It had Sony's launcher and the ROM was nicely themed. I have no idea what the Bravia engine means and running the ROM won't tell you either so not sure why the other dude was being an ass and telling you to flash. He was probably hoping you could tell him.
Nothing wrong with asking a question about a ROM if you don't want to flash it just to find out. Everyone just needs to ignore the assess.

my One X review

Hello all, I know traditionally i only review samsung devices as a samsung mobiler i've decided to branch out a bit and share the love. So here's my review on the One x. Let me know what you think, i'm always taking your comments on board and trying to make my content better.
Out of interest it was filmed on a canon Eos 1100D rather than my galaxy s2 for a change. Hopefully you can tell the difference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8JwiCQlxhg&feature=youtu.be
and a video of the two flavours of ICS on the galaxy nexus and the one X
http://youtu.be/V4Gidj5dEic
I also took some photos from different angles of the one x...find them at my blog here:
http://staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/htc-one-x.html
Here's a quick comparison of the screen on the Galaxy Nexus vs HTC one x. Which do you prefer?

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!

Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.

nice review

Nice review Stacey!
I thought Mobilers always had access to the Samsung devices prior to general public. I clearly remember Dom and you had the SGS2 long (weeks/days) before the general public. Both of you guys had a popular thread before release of the SGS2 during last April/May.
Hey, PM me a photo of the SGS3 and the specs list...Trust me, I won't tell anyone!

Good reviews there and i love your english. Hope i will talk like that someday.
One thing to the Multitask. The thing you reviewed on the One X as Taskmanager ist the taskmanager. Its just a graphic gimmik to show main threads and easily jump from one to another. Search on the device applist for Taskmanager and then you see your real tasks and up to 9 tasks at once.
I realy love my One X but i think all Sense gimmiks are just made to look good. Usability is just on 2nd rank. For much Sense widgets i use alternatives.

Ahhyes ! I found it. Please I'll add a note to the description of the video. Thanks for pointing it out

A good video, just one word of advice:
When you want to show something on the screen, dont move the phone closer to the camera, it makes the image blurry.
Best is to just keep it the way it is, so that the image stays sharp and then once you're editing the video zoom in digitally!
That'll make the screen more readable

Thanka for the feed back, seriously guys this all helps me for when I make my next . My next purchase is a proper tripod for my camera lol

also added a quick comparison of super amoled vs super ips LCD2...see 1st post for url

[Q] Theme chooser problems, need help.

I love the theme chooser themes nowadays, but why do they have to have battery percentage? I don't have the smarts to do it myself. And it's kind of rediculus that some devs say they "can't remove it" help please, themes like the elegant blue, and the sense 4. I purchased and donated, and asked to take battery percentage off and just have an icon only. But nope. Can somebody help

Because they put it there they aren't gunna just take it out because you don't like it.
I'll give ya the short and sweet.
Decompile the app
Remove all 200+ pngs (that they might have made from scratch each one)
Remove the XML in drawable for the battery and battery charger.XML
Recompile the app
Sign it
Install it and realize all this could have been avoided by getting over the fact that there are numbers in your battery.

Okay, I don't know what there wasn't an understanding about, I don't have the smarts to do all that, sorry.. But I donate a lot too, but I guess that dosent help very much. Second. I'm on a apple iPad 3 which is very much close to a garbage heap.

listen man, this that you ask might even be possible, but the fact is that many won't go out of their way to remove something that many enjoy.
i still use normal battery graphics. i'm kanging theme chooser into my flavour, to enjoy battery percentage from time to time.
why dont you search for the cm theme template and go from there?

I guess you didn't get the hint that I am one of those themers that absolutely hate when people ask for the stock battery. Want the stock battery use the stock theme. Otherwise figure out how to do it yourself or better yet get over it.

Alright man, you don't have to be a jerk okay?. Maybe if somebody had the patience to actually explain the process and leave some "positive" feed back. And may I say, many of my partners have the same trouble, but don't think your "themes" are anything of superior quality. So. If you do not have anything nice to say and keep the forum clean, then don't post Thankyou. Positive comments only please.
