[Theme][WIP]Rosie Colors For JACxHero1.2 [8/12/09 at 4:01AM CST]

*Latest Update 8/12/09*
I have completed theming the blue framework (for the most part) and have released a update.zip (available below). I have yet to find out how to replace sd apps using the update-script so this is a full rom, not a lite theme update. Because of this, be sure to backup before flashing.
Some of the .9.png's were rushed and do not look so good (mainly a few buttons, stars, and text boxes) but I will be fixing theese soon. If you don't mine a few graphical glitches, go ahead and flash it, if you do then don't complain about them.
Also it should be noted that I have updated the Rosie_Colors.zip to include Rosie_White.apk. This is a white rosie with black icons. There is a problem though that I have yet to find out how to edit the xml files to change the text from whit to black. As a result the text "Phone" and "All Programs" do not show well but overall it is still very nice looking. Because of the XML editing, I will not do anymore work on white rosie untill I figure out the XML files.
So enjoy the new updates everyone! There is A LOT more to come!
Original Post
I've grown tired of the black and green HTC look of Rosie and have decided to add a bit of color to the mix.
This theme is very early in development but I thought I would release my current Rosie.apk's so that everyone can comment, suggest,and critique my work. Currently only Rosie.apk is skined in four different colors and there is much more to come.
And so without further ado, Screenshots!

All four Rosie's have been built from the latest Rosie.apk in JACxHero1.2 and have been tested on my phone. Though they may work on other Hero roms it should be noted that I have not tested them and as such, can not be confirmed as working. If you do not want to risk breaking your current rom, push the apk to JACxHero1.2 only.
The apk's are confirmed working on:
JACxHero1.2
All JacHero's (Thanks Adriank)
AdrianK said:
I can confirm that these moded Rosie's worked fine in JacHero 2.73 (and all other versions of jachero). Basically these should all work fine as long as the Hero build you're on is based on the WWE leak or the latest orange firmware dump.

And have been tested and do not work on:
Drizzy's Full Hero (Thanks theDante)
Drizzy's "Who's Your Hero" Roms (Thanks IamLugo)
IamLugo said:
@everyone else, as far as these .apk's/themes compatibility go they should all flash/push with no problem for you unless you have upgraded to Drizzy's new line of Hero roms.

Very nice =) Is there any chance you could do a white one? Someone made one in a thread where they were theming Drizzy's New Vision 3r2, but I think the thread got trashed. Yours look much cleaner anyway.

I do have plans on doing other colors such as white, brown, orange, and pink but this is my first time theming a rom and I'm still learning. I'll be sticking with these 4 for now since they're basically 4 different themes and take a bit of time to do.

I'm going to attempt to do the whole rom, or at least rosie and framework-res so we can have matching buttons and notification bars.

Just flash the blue rosie, looks very nice. Only suggested white because it would go with most wallpapers...

YOu beat me to the punch! I was just thinking yesterday that I wanted to create a green styled theme for rosie and move to the framework!
Nice work!

I love the blue Rosie! Here is a screenshot!

Great work thanks....I was waiting for this....

Just out of curiousity, Where in the framework folder would I look to change the colors?

Question
OP, is it st8 if I post some of the rosie.apk's I've put together here? Since you were on the topic I figured I would just leave screenshots here whenever I did anything. Don't want to hijack your thread or anything, Its just my stuff is kinda spread around between different threads and I didn't want to have to start a thread of my own. If not, its cool anyway.

If you plan on maintaining the theme and upgrading it with every new rom release, I don't see why it's so hard to make a thread of you're own.
If you dont plan on maintaining it and the theme was just a one time deal, then it may be better to post it on the Hero Skinning thread located here.
I rather you not post it here so people will not confuse you're theme with mine and vice versa.
Thanks to everyone for the comments. I should be starting on the framework today! Here's some screenshots of what I have done so far. Please feel free to comment if you see something you don't like/want to suggest while I'm still in the creation process.

Hi?
Can i install this theme on some rom's version of Cyanogen????
Thanks...

[MetaMorph]Swype Themes: Voice Input only

YOU MUST HAVE A SWYPE.APK LOCATED IN /SYSTEM/APP/ FOR THIS METAMORPH TO APPLY!
To summarize, when you type "ls /system/app" in your terminal on your phone, you should see a "Swype.apk" file located there. If not, go to the instructions right after this notice in the post.
====Theme Application Instructions============
You MUST have this file: /system/app/Swype.apk
The theme is designed to apply to Galaxy S phones where we already have a Swype.apk located there. If you are using an installed version, follow these steps to determine how to continue from here:
In Terminal type:
Code:
ls /system/app/
If you don't see a Swype.apk or a com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk listed, then type this:
Code:
ls /data/app/
If you still don't see a Swype.apk or a com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk, you're in the wrong thread
If you found that your Swype file is located in the system directory, then you are 3/4 of the way to being prepared for a metamorph theme. If this is you, but your file is named com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk, check the next step to get set up to apply the morph.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In order for the morph to apply, the file HAS to be named Swype.apk.
So, to get to that point, do this:
In Terminal:
Code:
su
cp /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Now that you have the Swype.apk in your /system/app/ directory, continue on to the theme application step.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are not one of the lucky ones to have Swype in your /system/app/ directory and it is in your /data/app/ directory, follow these steps to allow the file to be themed by metamorph:
In Terminal:
Code:
su
cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
or
Code:
su
cp /sd-ext/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Basically, we want to get a copy of the Swype file in the /system/app/ directory, with the EXPLICIT name of Swype.apk, so that the theme will read it and apply it accordingly. Once you have done this, move onto the next step.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
APPLYING THE THEME
Now that you have a Swype.apk file in your /system/app/ directory, it's time to apply the Metamorph. If you have read this far, I'm assuming you already know how to use this application, so go through the usual steps and apply the theme, TWICE, ALWAYS TWICE!
If you have a themed Swype.apk, then you are ready for the next step, which will be replacing the normal Swype with the themed Swype.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For those with Swype in /system/app/ :
Code:
su
mv /system/app/Swype.apk /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
Then Reboot.
For those with Swype in /data/app/ :
Code:
su
mv /system/app/Swype.apk /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
Then Reboot
==============================
Ok, in an effort to consolidate all of my threads in the Galaxy S forums, I am posting my WVGA Swype theme work here.
Most of the time I have to apply these themes twice in order for them to work correctly, so instead of getting ahead of yourself, or skipping over instructions in the OP, just APPLY THE THEME TWICE.
The images are only samples, and the on screen view is much clearer.

Wooo! Thanks. Grabbing the HTC look, love it.

yea thanks for the works dude. it would be cool if there was a transparent theme. hehe

This may be an obvious question, but will this work with a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (I noticed you have a Vibrant)?

im using i9000 and it works! no worries

sorry mate, these dont work as per screenshots for my Galaxy S (UK) International
pretty much everything is fine except the 'swype' logo is off the screen nearly, and the quality of the graphic/s arent as good as the stock one
thanks, i hope your stock link thats provided is actually default!

Which theme are you using? any additional information could help me fix it and allow it to display properly. It could be that the "Swype" logo down at the bottom is a little too large, might need to be resized.
All the themes I have posted here are simply metamorphs. I extracted the images from the Swype.apk that came with the Vibrant/GalaxyS phones, and built a theme around it. So yes, it's stock.

Awesome! Thanks for these. Totally *loving* the NakedSwype theme right now, and this is my very first experience with MetaMorph too!
Yip

Will try later today but oh noes no more quick smiley face button !

Thanks. Awesome job.

What about other lang`s (as Russian etc)?

ehhh... most of these themes have support for QWERTY layouts only, and only a couple have AZERTY layouts. as far as russian and cyrillic, I'm not sure i've even seen an example of swype working in russian lol

the vibrant theme can't be default as I installed that thinking it would go back to stock, and the logo where the I button is, is not on the screen fully
Id say it isn't an issue eh the logo being too big, but more to do with the 'i' and the top padding that's on the logo?
I'd really appreciate being able to go back to stock asap, and will def go back to your themes once rutter issue is sorted

This doesn't seem to work on swedish qwerty, probably due to it having a different layout because of åäö. Would be awesome if you could make a naked black SE version. Thanks

Us yet possible to put buttons above the letters? I mean all the numbers in a new line above of the qwety line?

Well, to be honest, as soon as I set up my phone after reflashing, wipes, etc. I always set up Swype as it is my primary software on the phone that I use. That flashing "i" logo you are talking about annoys me from the beginning, so I just disable it. Have you tried doing that yet? It really serves little purpose I think, it only gives you hints and tells you when a word could be translated as something else.

[Q] Can anyone help me how to theme?

so if anyone is kind enough to PM or Instant message me to guide me through "how to theme" sense roms(sense 3.5), that would be great!

Can't really theme 3.5 yet as the m10files can't be decompiled right at the moment. Themeing the rest is just a matter of following the guide and alot of trial and error

hope the m10files gets decompiled soon~

Sense 3.5 was a pain at first to figure out how to theme but thru trial and error you will figure it out. I use this tool here:http://apkmultitool.com/ I love it also I swear by notepad++ with the compare plugin. this tool helped me learn alot about xml edits. you can for instance decompile a themed systemui.apk and your stock systemui.apk and use the compare plugin to see exactly what changes were made to each xml. to make different mods work feel free to download our theme here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297860
and open the different apks and look at them and compare to the stock files assuming your using rcmix runny. DUDE360 and he_stheone64 are both great themers who have helped me along the way

Thus works for most of it but sense its self can't be touched as the main AOL Rosie.apk is in m10 files. The way you discribed work on most roms.

I beg to differ. Rosie or fusion might not be able to be themed because of m10 tools but...there are other methods such as skins. There is a member who has successfully added sense 3.0 m10 files to sense 3.5 skins and they work pretty good. Not 100% but still can make some really cool mods happen on sense 3.5

I beg to differ. Rosie or fusion might not be able to be themed because of m10 tools but...there are other methods such as skins. There is a member who has successfully added sense 3.0 m10 files to sense 3.5 skins and they work pretty good. Not 100% but still can make some really cool mods happen on sense 3.5

OK but you still cant theme the 3.5 files yourself. As it seems you can swap some files out and get a mostly working theme. Looks like good progress, glad to see it.

yeah it is good progress. been watching diamondback's m10 thread for the tool update for a while. the new setup they got looks real good and don't think it will be to much longer before they update the tool. But still there are so many good threads scattered around xda to learn from. Anyone can theme If they just would just soak in some of this info in the forum and just try stuff till they figure it out. I started theming around august or september and it's crazy the ammount of stuff i've learned from just trying different things

When I switched from sense 3.0 to sense 3.5 I was trying to change the notification pulldown background to custom images and change text color. Everything finally worked after several hours of trial and error to figure the xmls out get compiled, push the mod. And wifi connection text is still black. Lol thought I would never figure that one out. If it wasn't for dude360 I would still be scratching my head.

What did you take out/add to the rom for you to get FC?

see thread here, just took out a variance of these. Added AOSP email and exchange.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386846&highlight=+info+removeable+system+apps
I am trying different variants, like re-adding the stock email and exchange, but not even a boot after i do this...

Yeah if you added AOSP contacts to a tw based rom thats probably what's causing you fc.

Please do some research before you cook roms. You could do the same exact thing you were explaining without cooking a rom.

Thanks for getting my back. I did a lot of research, for the last few months or so. I only removed bloat system apps from the ROM. I agree, could've been more descriptive, but I didn't want to list like 60 apps and take up space. Now, the contacts that were in the system are TW based. Everything was taken from datajosh's FF18 stock rooted deodexed, and then themed from ev1lart toxic theme that I ported over form the sgh-t989. Everything worked with the exception of Contacts as stated above. I have since put everything back the stock exchange and email back and tested, but same problem, and after doing so the SystemUI wouldn't function correctly. So i rolled back to original to still have contacts FC. I was hoping maybe an experienced dev wouldn't mind downloading and taking a look. Maybe see something I had overlooked is all.
Also, forgot to mention that I am in the process of re-themeing

Have you tried replacing all the files at once: systemui.apk, both framework files, phone.apk and contact.apk from stock yet then work your way back from there? Also, clear cache & davlik cache.

Have you flashed totally stock rooted and only add contacts yet? Then maybe one app at a time without messing with ANY sytem files like systemui, framework etc?
Oh, btw you really need to try the Autoapktool from here, make sure you get 204a:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577025
I've fought with apk's for a long time and come to find out, there's a frickin corrupt .9.png file or something else somewhere not allowing me to compile correctly even though it's looking like it is. The trick is anything you decompile, it pops up a status window letting you know if the decompile went well. It's a pretty advanced tool and supports ICS.
BTW: How noob? You're double checking/setting system permissions when you push apps correct?

OK. I have all sorts of tools. Autoapktool works great decompiling, but not so good with recompiling. Agat63 does some awesome work though, he has mad skills. I wouldn't be anywhere without all the great devs here. I use the original apktool for most, but there is a new ics apktool I use (apktool for ics basically. These two I use exclusively for de/recompile, unless I just want the res really quick. I use auto in order to create flashables and such.... I have tried stock and tried to add via root explorer individually. Once again, contacs is a no go, and neither is systemUI. Also tried pushing using GangsKidz kitchen. Pushes the right way every time. But, still no joy. Dazed is going to take a look to see what he can find, but for now I think I am just going to start over.....

Thanks. We would have nothing if it weren't for ev1lArt. He did the majority, and created all the icons, I just took them to our device and applied them. I created a theme, but the testing of it went just as well as my ROM, so it is on hold until I find out which exact apk(s) is(are) f'd up. I have also cleaned it up quite a bit.

Ok everyone. I ha e discovered my mistake. The pro lem.lies.within the idiot that made.it....me. Seriously though. The theme was just fine and dandy, but I used the assets from the ported framework, hence why everything went awry. I searched for 6-7 hours straight to figure this one out. With that being said, I have semester finals this week. I will get back on this on Thursday or Friday this week. Hope to have this bad boy themed and ripping out next week. Also, what are thoughts about an apple osx themed rom? Im not much an iphan <-- get it? But I do have a Mac, and like osx. Just wanted some input. Thank you everyone who has helped with suggestions and tools. I was losing m mind, chasing my tail for hours....

the image files for the notification shade reside within /system/framework/framework-res.apk then within /framework-res.apk/res/
browse around in there...you'll see it Just re-color the one that's there and drop it in the proper directory If you're careful you won't even have to uncompile/recompile the apk to do it

Those files were in systemui.apk on ics... i modified what i thought was that area... but it didn't show up in my "theme"... considering all the XMLs pertaining to the notification pulldown are still in systemui.all on jb... I doubt its in framework anywhere...
Also, unless they changed something... that's not an image, its an XML...
These are just my theories because I only had like 20mins to add my signals, battery and associated xmls, and try to figure out that dern pulldown stuff... which I managed to edit only the image where the date/time is at... I'll have a look later tonight or tomorrow!

This is accurate (to my knowledge). In either colors.XML or drawables.XML of systemui there's a hex color for notification something bg color. Change the first two number/letters to something less and you'll get transparent . Sorry, on a train, otherwise I'd look it up exactly.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

You will have to add in the code to assign a bg image for the shade. Stock ICS & obviously JB its defined by XML color code.
Its not a big deal... Just a small line of code to assign an image if you want to go that route.

oh ok... they must have moved it since gb.... that was my last time theming that i remember

I did the Gmail and email widgets. Added tunein. See Google Drive folder from OP.

Hope you like. I don't use tunein so I had to download just to play with it.
