Themeing Sense Froyo (2.2) Official - Help Needed

Hey dudes...I have a couple of questions about issues I have run into when trying to theme the deodexed official version of Sense 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740667). Issues are mentioned below:
#1. Where is the lockscreen located in Sense 2.2? It used to be HTCLockscreen.apk but that is no longer where it is located.
#2. When trying to theme the pull-down tray and make it transparent, it doesn't work and becomes a black box (difficult to explain). If someone could post a patch of fix for this that'd be phenomenal. I believe Nexus users faced the same issue with the pull-down tray when they first received Froyo and were themeing it - there should be a patch somewhere on the forums to fix it, but I'm not sure where it is at the moment.
If any of you know the answer or solution to either of these issues, then please let me know. Also, you guys can use this thread to discuss any issues you all are having with themeing the new official Sense 2.2. It would be good if we could all come together to solve some of the issues that we will face when themeing 2.2. Thanks!

Question#1 - The Lock Screen files are located in \system\framework\com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ (Same as 2.1)
Their are 3 files - 1. lockscreen_arc 2. lockscreen_arcglass_bottom 3. lockscreen_arcglass_top.9
Question#2 - Can't help you their lol. .

I have attached some files for you to help mod your lock screen. Credit to Konikub for creating them.
They are located in com.htc.resources.apk as michd43 said in the \system\framework\com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawab le-hdpi\ folder.
You can use these PNGs to replace the ones in your com.htc.resources.apk, you can replace the files with WinRAR quite easily as it can read apks.

Themes/Morphs for AOSP 2.2 OTA Froyo

I've been trying to install Morphs or a blackbar for the new (rooted) OTA Update. I'm using the ROM that was (claimed to be in the thread) deodexed (look here: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620). I've either had boot loops or blank screens after boot. Have you guys managed to get any morphs to work? I'm just looking for a smooth black statusbar.

I'm guessing (since you didn't post a link to the theme) that it flashes services.jar in /system/framework, if you remove that and edit the xml accordingly it will work, but the time will remain black. You'll need to manually edit your services.jar to fix that.

I tried flashing themes that were CM6 compatible (Simplicity), and just the browser and the framework_res.apk. I haven't tried any others.

And those bootlooped? It's probably a much better idea to get support in the release threads for those themes.

Good idea. Thanks!

i just downloaded that build you posted a link too and it is still odex'd unless you deodexed it yourself or something

bump!
Sorry to bump this, but I'm also looking for a themed version of the 2.2.1 OTA rom, but in particular i want the black bar with white letters, such as the Community Hero Mix has. Is there something like this? Aside from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848791, because I prefer the green on black and a simple OTA rom

[Q] Flashables?

first, i apologize if this is in a few threads all over these forums. ive tried reading through most but they are cluttered and outdated.
i have been looking for a few theme/mods in flashable form to use on a rooted stock/RUU rom.
i have been messing around with other roms trying to edit my own but it's becoming a very large hassle without a proper desktop and internet connection.
anyways, if anyone could point me to a thread with a working flash or tutorial for:
white taskbar (possibly similar to mikfroyo's theme)
battery icon with % (not metamorph files)
again, sorry if this information is in an obvious place, i cant seem to find it. thanks.

the battery icon one you can find in my sig, the links is for stock de-odexed ROMs though. If you have another ROM look at the OP for different versions of it

thanks so much!

Actually this one may work better for you, the other one was for an older version and is glitchy so I added the battery icons to the new framework.
Stock 3.30.651.2 Battery % Icons
Note: Be sure to wipe cache & dalvik before rebooting.

the 2nd file worked perfectly, thanks.
if anyone has a tutorial or flashable white task bar mod please inform me. thanks again.

hey shutuproman dude. you need a de-odexed rom to theme. this means .odex files that hold stuff for each .apk won't contradict the apk, causing massive force floses, and reboot. find a de-odexed rom, and you can flash whatever the hell you wnat.

You may be able to get away with it if you delete the .odex file, I've never tried it though. If it works it could easily be added to the updates script so it is done automatically.

[Theme][2.3.3][28/Apr/11][JVB] AOSP-gingerbread

JVH, JVO and JVP themes can be found in this thread!
I was using ock's gingerbread theme for JVK and really liked versions 1-2. I'm not really interested in "all in one" themes and prefer things to be a bit more modular.
This is a "from scratch" theme, decompiled with apkmanager with graphics from AOSP source.
Also likely to only work with deodexed roms I would assume.
What this does:
* Changes the images in framework-res and SystemUI, these include the window frame shape, status bars and various other graphics.
* Changes a few text colours to properly match the new graphics.
* For the moment, has AOSP stock battery mod. (not percentages).
What this will never do:
* Change your lockscreen.
* Add more lockscreens.
* Have the extended power menu. (iirc these are "unsafe" reboots anyway)
* Include the overscroll glow.
* Include the CRT off animation.
If you're after these features I recommend popping over to ock's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010324
But, but, but, I really like the overglow effect!
dhiru1602's stand alone mod should work with these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935&highlight=overscroll+glow
TODO:
- Media scanner's entry in the notification dropdown is coloured wrong. (part of TW?)
- Recolour the data connection icon on the power menu.
- Odd browser combo box size error.
- Adjust xml based colours to match AOSP.
Screenshots
Always useful to have a backup when trying new themes, so there's an "uninstall" which will replace the files back to stock.
CWM3 Compatible Installs:
Main theme:
* Install theme - aosp-jvb-vX.Xs.zip
* Samsung stock JVB theme - stock-jvbs.zip

At present I'm not intending to skin the dialler or contacts. More or less only core system related.

It couldn't hurt to give it a shot just replacing them. Just backup your current ones.
Otherwise search this forum for skins of dialler and contacts.

Reboot to recovery mode or press VOLUME UP+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON
In recovery choose "install zip from sdcard" option

If you're on JVK you probably shouldn't flash this. I believe they are a little different. (you may see minor graphic bugs, etc). If you pop over to ock's thread I believe v1-v2 were for JVK.

"E:signature verification failed"...any ideas?

in fact, i only want to make the signal and wi-fi bars when avalable green instead of the stock light grey.

@sargorn great job with this AOSP theme.. love it. Right now, I cant use the files you provided because I'm using a modded framework-res.apk which includes chinese. Im trying to get your look though. So far, I made the status bar black, but cant seem to get it right. Is it possible if I give you my framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, you can mod it for me? Sorry to ask you such a big request...thanks

You're probably using the stock kernel? You need to flash a custom gingerbread kernel and/or custom rom (basically you need CWM recovery) This theme is only for deodexed roms, so if you just flashed stock via kies or otherwise this probably won't work.
For a deodexed stock rom check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Or you can try a custom rom. Check the Development forum for those.

If you just want a minor change, can I recommend the UOT Kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
It's fairly easy to use (again, you need a deodexed rom for this), grab the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ from your phone and the SystemUI.apk from /system/app/.
Choose whichever bits you want, then upload those two files and it will generate an update you can flash with CWM.
I think everything except the Boot animation should work on the galaxy s.

I can give it a shot, but without being able to correctly test it, it might be a bit hit and miss.
It's actually not so difficult to do yourself. There is a very good tutorial in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
For the images required I grabbed them from android aosp source, or you could simply decompile my framework-res with apk manager.

Tweaking a few things to match the AOSP xml, few colours, sizes, etc.
Will run it tomorrow on my phone and see if I find any issue then upload it if it's ok.

No problems with it, 1.5 is uploaded. Some new screenshots too!

sargorn, you somehow read mi mind with this them. I'm playing with framework pieces for weeks now trying to find the stock gingerbread look for SGS .
Your theme is looking excellent from all points of view.
Anyway ... please tell me what you did in order to fix the combo box bug in browser .. thanks.

[Root Only] a little bit G3 UI on old V10D :)

Hello, waiting for italian/EU_common firmware... I made some same test about a future G3 UI porting.
Because I really like the result... I've decided to share the mod with everyone
Mod turn notification area similar to the new G3 UI. But this mod is for stock odexed jelly bean (4.1.2) rom
To install it you need root and a file manager.
instruction:
- put apk in attachment into your device
- open file manager
- paste file into SYSTEM/APP directory (replace the file? yes, you still have a backup true????)
- reboot!
this mod work for sure with E97510d-EUR-XX firmware. Don't install on other version!!!
(trasparent status bar and White kitkat style status bar icon are obtained by xposed framework... not included in the mod)
screen shots and apk in attachment, bye!

Make a backup, and go for it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app

How did you make this? I am interested in doing something similar for LS970

I'm so sad it didn't work for E97510j-AME-xx. Gives forceclose.but I was able to replace the backup apk easily...
Can you describe how did you make it for your version?
Or can you do it for E97510j version if I give you the apk?
