AOSP 1.6- Working themes, launchers, icons, etc...

So I am having a heck of a time searching and searching for extras that work with quites 1.6 AOSP build. Specifically the nexus launcher. Figured it would be a great idea to start a thread that included these extra features. Please link it up, appreciate the help.

You didn't search all that hard. :]

Ya you really didn't look too hard at all Extra Features on AOSP 1.6

Maybe so......
Ya, your both probably right, but after a while of looking and looking I was lost. Thanks for these links, I have seen them both but guess I was hoping for a bit more clarity. Thanks either way, I really do appreciate the knowledge.

AOSP 1.6 or even Gbhil's 1.6 ROMs both should have the Nexus one launcher. Otherwise, if you want, I can link the Nexus One launcher itself, just know it'll replace SenseUI.

That would be awesome (a link for nexus). I have tried each download from the two previous replys and each did not have a signed zip so install was aborted. Thanks a ton.

I don't know why you would have been presented with those problems. Anyways, here's the file -- to install:
**NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!**
1. Download file
2. Copy file AS IS to the SD Card
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Select the file from "Flash update" screen
5. Reboot phone

One Click Rom/Theme Optimizer and Signer

This tool will open any AOSP based rom or theme (as long as the file structure is correct) and optimize and zip align everything.
Simply grab your rom or theme and place it in this folder (should work from anywhere but you need to full path from where the cmd file is run). Now click on the reopto_runner.cmd and it will ask you where the rom is (name) that you want to optomize, type the name of the rom and hit enter, it will do the rest.
Final output of the re-optimized (double pass with 2 different png optimizers) rom will be named rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip this will be exactly the same rom except the script will optomize every png in every apk found in the system/app and system/framework-res.apk. It will also zipalign all these same apks and finally will sign the zip file. When its done just rename the rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip to what ever you want and its ready to flash.
What this won't do is make your zip file (rom, theme, update zip) flashable unless its already set up to be flashable... meaning you'll still need your update-script in the com.google.android folder to be there. Its does sign your zip file for you though.
I put this out there as its some of the scripting and tools I have made to help me in theming and rom hacking.
Feel free to use any part of this to help you in any scripting you do.

Sweet, you are the man. Going to try it out now.

I'm going to try this on the MIUI ROM!

I have only tried this method on AOSP based roms the script should work on any rom or theme or update zip that follow this structure in the top level. system/app/*apk and system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is pretty much all of them.
The script takes about 10 minutes or so to run on cm6 rom and is really quick on most of the themes here. So for instance you could use it to make sure or re optimize a theme or roms.
feel free to tire it apart and use it in other fashions. I can guarantee it will shave some about of space of any rom or theme along with the zip aligning of every apk. If its a short request I'll post some more automated tiny scripts to todo various stuff.

Little confused. I run any aosp rom through this and it makes it compatable with the hero? ( sorry for the newb question)

No I haven't released that script yet. This just optimizes a rom that's all.

Not sure what you did... this is not a flashable zip just a tool to optimize a rom.
Did you run this tool on the miui rom?

Hello,
New to the "kitchen", items like this help us out! Thank you and looking forward to your other scripts. Any desire to do a "how to port a theme/rom" guide? Love the Screaming Droid, I laugh every time I boot up one of my 2.2 roms. I also use your R2 boot but I have yet to get sound on 2.1? Anyway a big thanks goes out to you!

Thank you for the praise, wife been complaining about doing stuff for free so I might have to post my pay pal account with a wife complaining button.
I might just release a script that does it for you. mdpi to mdpi (or hdpi to hdpi) no matter what rom is fairly easy todo. Of course it can only theme what it can match but it will do it for you.
For a more in depth description would take some time so I'll probably have to do it some time later.

maybe but he should have done the png opto and zipaligning already. I do add another png opto that most people dont do which will squeeze out another couple of kb, was able to shrink cm6 by 16 or so kb, which doesnt seem like alot but every bit counts.
You could use it to just see, like whenever you d/l a new rom run this on it and compare the file size, or load the rom and run a linpack and then opto it and then reload it and then do a linpack and see what you get. Some themers don't zipalign there themes and don't opto there pngs, and I have yet to see anyone use optipng and the other png opto program i use as a double pass system of optimizing pngs.
I like to use it for my themes or roms as it automates the hole process. Try it out if you use it on a rom it will give you a new optoed copy that is already sign and ready to flash... one click

Sounds good . Of course, when you say "every rom" you only mean AOSP roms, right? I'd suppose it wouldn't be able to rip, for instance, Nfinite's latest rooted Stock ROM apart and png optimize/zipalign it? If it could, holy crap. On top of the fact I use Odex, that would be amazing.

should work on that to since it only looks at pngs and apk. it will onyl zip align the framework-res.apk and the system/app apk's. Actually try it out I never have but it should work.
remember to nand before you flash it but you should be a ok, as I can't see any reason why it would work.

Hmm. But will I see a difference? Doesn't HTC have their own specific framework-res apk? I'd love to get into ROM themeing, so I've been poking around the ROMs for some time now.

[MOD] [Themes] Change Your Animations...AOSP and Jaybob's Build of BlackMod

THEMES ARE IN POST 10 ON THIS PAGE
In the UOT Kitchen it shows we can now change our window animations. I have tried and tried cooking files with no success. I had some spare time today and did a little searching and found THIS thread that shows how do change them without using the kitchen. I chose "Flip" and I dont notice any bogging down from them, its the same as before. Really cool looking too!
Copy N Paste from OP
Below are four new android UI animations created by Stale Bread, these will change how things popup and show on screen.
There are two ways to apply new animations first is Metamorph and second is to manualy copy new animations to your android phone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqrBF0TE3Qk
End Copy N Paste
I tried the Metamorph method and got FC all over the place, had I rebooted recovery and wiped Dalvik this may not have been the issue. What I did instead was open my themes framework and delete the anim file and replace with the animations I chose, Flip. Rebooted recovery and reflashed my theme and then wiped Dalvik cache, I am using firerats so I had to reboot recovery again to flash FR-boot but all is well FC's are gone and I have new animations!
There all also videos in the original OP to help you select what you like best...

I dont see any reason it wouldnt work. AOSP removes quite a few of the regular animations but by doing this MOD you are just replacing them with different ones.
EDIT....
You have me curious now lol. I will try it on aosp 9.9.1 in the morning Maybe even a different one like the "Fly"

Are they actually smooth on the hero?

Just tryed it on AOSP 0.9.9.1 and no go on the animations. However, it is nice to know that even with UOT Kitchen not having the AOSP rom posted in their system as one that works with the kitchen, I was able to get a battery and bootanimation to work.
The site does state that the animations are for the Desire Sense rom Only.
Now, that being said, I have opened the framework on the downloaded UOT package. I personally do not know what I am looking at but if someone wants to take a look at it and see if it can be modified to work with AOSP, that would be great.
Happy Holidays

It won't work using the kitchen for sure, least it hasn't for me. Did you try using the link in my OP? It shows how to replace with Metamorph, what I did was open the file from the kitchen with 7zip, open framework, open the folder named res and scroll down and deleted the whole folder named anim. I then opened the animation I downloaded the same way using 7zip and did a drag and drop of the file called anim, taking the animations and putting them in kitchen framework. Close that out and put your modified kitchen zip on SD and flash, then before boot wipe dalvik. Should work
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Yep, tried that too. However I am not familiar with creating apk files. Something may have gone wrong when I rezipped the framework file.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

They work just fine on AOSP 9.9.1, or any other version for that matter. Somewhere somehow you are doing something wrong. This is NOT done through UOT KITCHEN! HERE is the LINK that shows how to do this with Metamorph. I did not use Metamorph, I edited the framework apk myself. BUT metamorph does the same, just be sure to boot into recovery and WIPE DALVIK cache or you will get tons of FC's. I am posting a theme I use for AOSP (fLiPAOSPTHEMELS7_signed.zip), TwoPointTwo by thoughtlesskyle. It has some Icon changes plus it has the animations called FLIP. Flash, WIPE DALVIK, reboot/reboot recovery and flash firerats boot if you are using his MOD. Takes a few minutes to boot as you wiped Dalvik. This theme is NOT MINE, it is thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme with some Icons I changed via kitchen Check it out
I am slso posting the theme in the screenies. This is flashed over jaybob's BlackMod 6.1 stable build (FLIPinBLUE theme). I am sure it will work over any of his builds, but not so sure about cm6.1 stable. I did not make any of the 2 themes from scratch, they are mixtures of thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme AND hackahero's port of Incognito Remix AospMod 0.9.9.1.
MAKE NANDROIDS No promise of support as new build releases are posted. These things take a couple hours and with so many ROMs it is nearly impossible to support all of them I will keep jaybob's up to date though, as thats the ROM I use daily

Here is where you can modify battery icons and a whole lot more! You must pull framework apk from your rom and use that at the end of kitchen. Do not use framework supplied by them. To get your framework apk, use a program called 7zip, open your rom (not extract) then drag and drop the framework apk to your desktop. Then upload that through the kitchen. The will give you a flashable file, put that on sd card and flash in recovery

Can you not flash it like I explained to you in the AOSPmod thread? That seems to be the method that works for everyone using the htc hero. Again take rom and remove anim file inside framework apk. Replace with the animations you want. Reflash rom and wipe dalvik before you reboot. If you are using a theme replace anim folder in theme rather than rom.

[MOD] 1% Battery animation and Sprint Lovers Icons for Stock 4.22 GB release

All credit for these Icons goes to the creators of the Sprint Lovers ROMS on XDA as well as the original creator, schmittx. His page can be found here: (link to be added this evening)
You must be running a ROM that has a base of the 4.22.651 release of Gingerbread with Sense. (i.e. stock, Ti-X, etc.)
Just flash in Recovery, Amon RA or Clockwork. Please post any issues or any requests.
*See images for Icons colorized!!* NOTE:4G is there and blue, but, I couldn't get a screenshot off it since I have no signal at work.
Thanks for the ICONS Sprint Lovers and schmittx.

Unfortunately this does not work on MikG's 2.1 + 3.0 (v1.03). It complely removed my status bar

Pinky,
Great job!
ZDK,
Reboot and your statusbar "should" come back. I think it may be Sense 2.1 thats doing that. I had the same issue with mine as well...

Yeah, sorry guys. It was meant for strictly stock release (rooted of course ) of GB which was released.
I didn't test it on anything else, but I assumed as long as the .apks I modified weren't too much different than stock (due to modification) on the ROMS with the 4.22 Base, it would work....
Can you send me the ROM you guys are on or point me to a link? I can take care of it for you guys

I would def love to see an adaptation for the MikG v1.03 as well.

Anyway to update the GPS icon when its searchng? It reverts to the old icon when its searching.

I also noticed this removed the transparency that I originally had for the drop down notifications. Anyway of getting the transparency back without messing up the icons?

If you can, send me the framework-res.apk from the ROM you are on (the original one). You can find it in the /system/framework/ directory using Root Explorer. Copy it to you SD card and upload.
NOTE: Since you flashed my zip, you removed the transparency. However, i can get it back. i just need the original from the ROM, you may have to unzip the ROM and navigate to /system/framework and get me the original.
I will gladly do it for you though

Hey Pinky059,
I think I gave you the wrong framework file from SteelRom. The original one I posted was after I installed your mod. Here is the correct framework file.....
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=547KW8A4

These are, by far, my favorite status bar icons of any that I've seen/used... would it be possible to get these for the MikG ROM? I'm sure he will be updating to the new 4.24 OTA soon as everyone is doing, but after that, could I upload the framework files and you swap the icons? That would be VERY much appreciated

Unrelated side note-
I see you have the temperature in your status bar..
Is this an app or is there a hack that can put that there? I'd love to have it there instead of having to unlock every time to see the temp.

[Tool] Ultimate Lock Ring Tool for Sense 3.0/3.5-V3.0!! (Updated - 11th Jan)

Hey Everyone!!
Welcome to the Ultimate Lock Ring Tool for Sense 3.0/3.5!!
By mohit1234​
Seeing that there are more and more devices are having Sense 3.0 &3.5, and creating and porting Lock Rings manually is really time-consuming, I decided to write a script in batch to do all the hard work!
NOTE: There is a workaround for making lock rings on Sense 3.5 ROMs. Check my thread HERE for more info.
Now coming on to the tool...
Download the attached Lock-Ring-Tool_V3.0.zip from end of this post and extract it to any folder you like.
There will be menus and all instructions on how to use this application are given when you first start the script.
After the script is finished porting or creating the APKs it will ask you if you wish to create a flashable zip. Just choose you selections and you will be presented with a Flash-Me.zip which you can flash in recovery!
For Features, Upcoming Features, Bugs etc. check out post #2
Changelog:-
V3.0
-Added Support for Sense 3.5 APKs (NOTE: This has only been tested with the Sensation at the moment)
-Can port lock rings from Sense 3.0 to 3.0, 3.0 to 3.5, 3.5 to 3.0 and 3.5 to 3.5.
V2.0
-New Tool!! (Name Changed )
-Added ability to create lock rings from given images
-Added ability to extract images from APKs
V1.1
-Fixed zipalign
-Added support for EVO 3D
V1.0
-First Release
Thanks to Flemmard and DiamondBack2010 for their m10 tools!
A big thanks to all the other devs on xda!!
If I've missed out anyone who has contributed to this, please tell me and i will add their names.
Feel free to use this tool wherever you want as long as you credit me and/or link back to this thread
Plus, it would be great if you guys could comment back on the thread regarding if its working fine, or if you faced any bugs, or you want any particular feature etc.. Because even with so many downloads, it seems as if the thread is dying... Thanks

Features:-
Support for Sense 3.0 and 3.5
Supports Desire HD

GUI Application for this script:-
I am intending on creating a GUI application for this script. Even though I do know a bit of .NET, I am not very experienced enough to make the application by myself. If anyone of you would like to help, that would be great!
Online HTC Sense Modding Kitchen:-
I am also thinking about creating an online kitchen similar to UOT but only for HTC Sense MODs. This includes Lock Rings, Weather Lockscreen Backgrounds, Docks, ability to remove/add time/carrier etc.. If anyone is experienced enough and able to help me out with this, it would be very much appreciated.

Hey everyone!!
As we have a workaround for Sense 3.5 Lock Rings, I will soon be updating my tool to work with Sense 3.5 ROMs also!!
Stay Tuned

Hey Everyone!!
As promised earlier, I've updated my tool to work with Sense 3.5 APKs (however this has only been tested with the modded Sense 3.5 APKs for HTC Sensation. I am not sure if it will work with any other Sense 3.5 device. If it does work with another device, let me know.

-Can port lock rings from Sense 3.0 to 3.0, 3.0 to 3.5, 3.5 to 3.0 and 3.5 to 3.5.
Plus, it would be great if you guys could comment back on the thread regarding if its working fine, or if you faced any bugs, or you want any particular feature etc.. Because even with so many downloads, it seems as if the thread is dying... Thanks

Just have tested the new tool. I put my apk in the from folder and choosed extract images from apk but where i find those images?

tnx a lot man "mohit1234" apreciate your work!!!

Hello,
Will this wonderful thing work with ICS, or GB only?

In the script, we are prompted to "place your stock APKs in the To folder". Are you referring to framework-res.apk and others? Can you list them?

After you extract images from APK, the images will be found in the Images Folder.

Sadly only GB at the moment. I don't think there is any workaround for ICS..

No not those APKs.
I'm referring to Idlescreen_Base.apk and fusion.apk. Both of these can be found in the /system/app folder.

Tried this on the Vivid, choosing the Sensation as the device because they have the same screen resolution. When I attempted the flash, it aborted. Something about an emmc could not be read. I'll reattempt if you want the exact failure.

The flashable zips are device dependent, not screen size. So u will have to put a custom META-INF for other devices that are not mentioned. Soon I will be adding support for more devices.
If you can give me the META-INF folder from any HTC Vivid ROM, I can make a flashable zip for your device.
Would be great if you could also give me the Idlescreen_Base.apk and fusion.apk from the Sense 3.0 ROM and the Sense 3.5 ROM.
With these I'll add support for your Device.
Thanks

Expect the files today. I'm hoping to make one with the round Alabama Crimson Tide logo. Perhaps a few colorized stock ones like I've seen in Sensation and Thunderbolt forums.
Edit: Just searched my phone and can't find meta-inf...I'll download and unzip a ROM and poke around for that folder.

Ok cool.
Yeah the META-INF is only in the ROM zip file, it doesn't get copied on the phone. The folder will be one of the first folders when u unzip the ROM.
