[Theme]The Office (RC33) *BETA release*

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)
To do:
remaining notification icons
delete tray handle
suggestions, etc

Here is the theme as it is so far. I have tested this on both the lite and regular versions of JF 1.42 RC33, and it worked fine for me. Let me know if you have any problems, and I will try to help. Also, suggestions/comments/ideas are encouraged!

Good job, I like it.

I think this is a really cool theme idea. I am a big fan of the office. I think it looks really good. Can't wait to give it a shot!

Love the office. This is cool!

YEAH!!! I just started watching this about 2 months ago and now I am on season 4! This show kicks so much @$$! I can't wait to see this theme in action!

beta release now available, should work with both regular and lite RC33. download link in the first post!

I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something

I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in

See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?

Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.

also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!

bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!

[MOD REQUEST] Incorporate app drawer button in Softkeys (concept image inc)

Hi all,
I was wondering with all the fantastic softkey modifications so far, would it be possible to incorporate the app drawer launcher button in the softkey bar? This would simplify the interface at the bottom of the stock launcher screen and create more desktop real estate. For people like myself who like a minimal-istic look with full view of the wallpaper it would be great too!
I have attached an image to better explain what I mean.
Button function would be as follows:
Back key: Back & long press to kill current app.
Home Key: Home.
App key: Open/Close app drawer.
Multi-task key: Multi task.
Menu key: Context sensitive menu & long press for Search.
Many thanks folks!

very awesome idea, i like it!

I like that one too; is it even possible to access the app drawer directly out of an app ?

Wow that is exactly what i want out of my soft keys!...

Interesting idea.

Yes, wave launcher can already do this

I would like this as well, good idea.

+1 for this idea. If I knew how to write fresh code and went down the developer path I may of taken this on...why oh why did I have to take the theming path
Great idea all the same, lets hope a talented dev can get this done.

very awesome idea +1 ^^

Ah fantastic, thanks for the great response folks, I'm glad people like the idea too. I only wish I had the coding knowledge to work on it myself... I'm slowly trying to learn as much as I can, but this is well out of my league currently lol!
Hopefully one of our many talented devs will like the idea as well and be able to put something together

that is one amazing concept, I suggest we all make requests for this at the thread of the ROM we're each currently using, a lot of our awesome devs take requests!

You could do what I do is use a third party launcher such as ADW and turn off the dock. Set the home button binding to open and close the app drawer.
Just throwing out a suggestion.

I'd suggest contacting RomanBB, he's working on AOKP adding options and ROM control to his ROM. I'm guessing he might know what to do

Thanks for the help Nitroz and by the way im running black exodus on Bixixe 8 and i love it, the look the feel the everything...

Basically You would need to create a shortcut to to the app drawer in a specific launcher. Or a shortcut to a specific app like 3d app drawer.

This would be awesome. I love the minimalistic look....
I already modded my stock launcher to not have the white line above the icons.... and then deleted my icons just for the sole purpose of keeping it minimal and maxing wallpaper space.
I would love the ability to add a launcher button to the soft keys, but what would the button do while the launcher is already up... or an app is open? Would it dissapear.... that would be cool.

Having had the original idea, I really would like to code this myself therefore giving something back to the community, but as I said I really wouldn't know where to start.
My assumption based on what I've read is that this would require modifications to the system ui apk?
Anyone who could help me with this it would be much appreciated.
How did you remove the line above the launcher icons as this would need to be part of the mod, perhaps if I start with simple changes I could move on from there?
I was thinking 'ClearLauncher' as a mod name too???
Thanks

Since we have a dedicated recent apps button, I think it'd be cool if we could long press the home button for the app drawer. It would make it even more minimalistic

Yea.... all the modding for the new soft key icon should be within SystemUI.apk. there is tutorial on rootzwiki showing how to add buttons like search to the soft keys. It was all done within systemui. It should be the same process, except i have no idea what the code would be for the app drawer. I can send a link to the tutorial when i get on my computer.
Also, to remove the white line..... that was part of the launcher. Launcher2.apk. it was just an image edit. Changed the .png from white to transparent. I dont know the exact filename off the top of my head, but ill post that too when i get on my computer.

I've ventured into modding the softkeys keys with help from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21258064#post21258064
You must know how to decompile/recompile the SystemUI.apk in order to get started. Once you open the appropriate .xml, you need to edit the "keycode" values of the buttons which can obtained from here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html
The only problem is is that keycode actions are limited. This means that only certain buttons can appear in the navigation bar. If you look at the Android dev site, the only useful ones I've found through my testing that actually worked were:
KEYCODE_POWER - This powers off the device.
KEYCODE_CALL - Launches the "Phone" app.
KEYCODE_EXPLORER - Launches the "Browser" app.
KEYCODE_MUSIC - Launches the "Music" app.
KEYCODE_CONTACTS - Launches the "Contacts" app.
KEYCODE_CALCULATOR - Launches the "Calculator" app.
KEYCODE_CALENDAR - Launches the "Calendar" app.
I was hoping KEYCODE_CAMERA and KEYCODE_NOTIFICATION would allow me to go into the Camera app and bring down the notification bar respectively but they didn't work with my testing. KEYCODE_CAMERA only takes a picture when you are in the Camera app already which isn't useful.
So as you can see, a softkey for the App Drawer isn't possible through these means as there lacks a "keycode" for it. I assume if it's even possible for the ability to launch any app, such as the app drawer, it would require some deep hacking which I'm not familiar with by any means. A real dev would have to take on this task. However, if you want buttons in the nav bar that can launch those above, it's easy. I've personally added a button to power off the device as seen below:

Indeed thank you for posting. Wanted to say not a full day yet but so far so good.
It's always nice to try something new out now and then. This ROM included VVM
which for a CM hybrid or any CM based ROM is a first for me. It works too!
USB OTG works somewhat. Plugged in one usb stick and said it was damaged.
Different phone with TW no issue with the same usb stick. Haven't tested MHL yet.
So far battery life has been above my expectation. Still need to reformat
my ext. SD and give a week and see how battery goes. Again thanks for posting :good:

Ran this for the last few days. For the most part, it's been very nice but I have run into a few things. Mainly it seems when running certain games or when connected to my car via bluetooth for music playback it will just completely freeze. The audio will still play but the screen freezes and I cannot back, hit home or long press home to kill it. Because of how much I have to be in the car I am switching back to plain CM 10.2 for now but will be watching and testing this going forward. Thanks for the hard work and really excited for what this might end up as

Looks great I was hoping for a flashing weekend.

Not yet. Sorry. I did wipe and return to stock then flashed plain cm 10.1. I wiped again and reflashed this back over that and everything seems much better if not near perfect now though. It may have been something weird with coming back from a 4.3 ROM to 4.2.2(even though I always wipe and go from scratch.

This seems to be a problem I also have. Flashing stock, CM 10.1 and again Chameleon. Being a few days now,
has it seemed to help any or has the freezing come back? Curious because I would never have thought to do that.
Though I know rom's sometimes need to be flashed a certain way. Any feedback would be great.
Other than this issue I have been getting pretty good battery life. Call quality is good. Overall it's a pretty good rom.

Do you have all the devices for which you make themes for? I mean one for each resolution.
How you resize the theme? Any faster trick or way?

I'd say you've mastered theming TWRP yourself, this is very well done.
I played with it on my Nexus7. Couldn't find any glitches, very polished.
I like the way one changes categories and how unavailable functions are greyed out. The only visual nuisance is the windows logo...
I wish the TWRP guys would make swiping available as an action that could be used to change pages, would make our lives much easier...
As for testing, I use the old Nexus 7 for testing 720/768/800x1280 themes, and Nexus 5 and 7(2013) for the other ones.
My so called workflow is rather clumsy, I have no way of doing things with scripts or batches. This is becoming the limiting factor to what I can do, as even simple updates involve a lot of repetetive manual labour.
However, keep up the good work :good:

Should I replace windows logo with android face?
Yup, swiping feature will be great. I once talked with TWRP founder, he said the priority level of UI is very low for them. They focus on stability and porting it to another devices.
He said, as it is open source, you can add the features you want yourself.
I know Java, but not C++. But it is not so different. My plan is to learn it soon and add few more features like TTF font support..
Hmmmm, that's the problem, we cant make scripts that do the Photoshop work.

awesome

This is amazing work!!

is f....ing ugly....buhuhuuuu

JUST replace the windows logo with flat n square Microsoft logo

[Q] How to get further customisations

Hey guys, over on the Post Your Homescreen thread, there are a number of people running stock roms but with a different colour notification shade and no "S Finder" or "Quick Connect" icons. I would love to have that. They say to do that, you'll need Xposed and Wanam but as far as I know, Xposed isn't working for stock Lollipop roms at the moment which is what I'm running. Is there a workaround that I'm not aware of?
Also, how can you change the icon theme on the Edge bar? Thanks a lot for your help!

Don't know about the buttons.
But the icons on the edge follow the touchwiz theme. So if you are rooted, you can use one of the apps to change the touchwiz icons, which then changes them on the edge as well.
If you are using, say Nova, this means you can actually have one icon pack for the homescreen, and one for the edge.
I use Galaxy icon themer, which works fine on Lollipop. There are a couple others, but I think they need xposed, which, as ypu said, is a problem on TW lollipop right now.

What model of Note do u have? if have 915G id recommend Alliance ROM can customize just about everything, or if have 915G or 915F then run Emotion Kernel which after you can install Xposed

Thanks for the tip! I wonder how I never came across them. I do have the 915G so the Alliance ROM sounds perfect. I just have a couple of questions though:
1. They didn't mention anything about the possibility to remove the Quick Connect button in the notifications shade, only the S Finder. Do you know if it's possible?
2. Any known bugs and issues? (since it's in BETA)
3. I've been having this problem "Unfortunately, Package Access Helper has stopped" when trying to install big apps from Humble Bundle or Amazon (under 100MB are always fine though). Others seem to have this problem as well. Do you know if this ROM addresses this issue?
4. If I do a backup of my system settings in my current stock ROM (using Titanium), can I restore them after flashing the new one? It wouldn't create clashes or disrupt anything? This is something I always wondered about flashing new roms.
Thanks again for the help!

Heya,
1. in alliance can only remove both Quick connect and SFinder bar
2. Bugs: lockscreen effect don;t use ink, stick to tiles, the R from the clear button on the drop down menu is missing
3. Not had any issues downloading from Amazon, never tried Humble
4. Settings backup not good idea as Alliance ROM has changed settings options and I have found that generally best to start fresh
Apart from that had no issues myself

haha I see. I guess it'll all become more clear once I flash the ROM! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just spent the whole afternoon on this rom. Can't say I'm a fan. For some reason, I can't change the wallpaper. Even when I switch to Nova launcher and try to change it through there, the wallpaper still won't budge. There are also a lot of inconsistencies. For example, pretty much every theme I tried had some kind of problem with font colour being the same as the background in some menus, making it impossible to read. Usually appeared in the Reboot menu but some themes had it in other places too. Took me ages to finally find the right setting to fix that. Still getting the "unfortunately, package access helper has stopped" when downloading from sources outside of the Play Store with large apps (100MB or more, Amazon or Humble). I also encountered a problem with the sound mode toggle in the notifications shade. After switching the phone to vibrate only, I can't switch it back.
In the end, there just seem to be way too many options for what I need, which would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it's so hard to find the options that I want. I'm gonna try the emotion kernel now

As far as changing the buttons and icons on the edge goes I just thought I'd throw this out there... I'm not sure about changing the look of the included factory edge panels if that's what you're asking, but there is an awesome app on Play that you can buy (which is a must have app for Note Edge owners imho) called "EdgeNavi Pro".. which let's you put practically whatever buttons you want on the edge and you can also "theme it" to however you like (there's also a free version which is limited but the full version is more than worth it especially with this phone). It doesn't have included "themes" so to speak but you can pick the color of the edge, change the icons of the buttons, pick the transparency, and so on. Anyway just thought I'd mention it because imo it's worth its weight in gold and it actually makes the edge worthwhile and useful finally. Hope it helps and here's a couple of pics just to give you an idea..
