adding desired icons to CM 4.2.11.1/WG Y.R1

i previously search this forum about a thread on how to add 2.0 icons. on CM its perfect but when the market auto updates to 1.66, it reverts to the stock 1.6 icon and its getting annoying. also youtube is like that as well. is there a way to go into the frameworks and theme the icon? if so how? can somebody enlighten me on this matter?

Yes you can go into the Vending.apk and Youtube.apk add in the icon you want, resign and put them back in the rom.
And please next time post in the correct section, as I won't be as nice next time- and I'm sure others won't be nice this time

ok my bad. an how-to on resigning has been done and posted on here yet? and which files should i be on the lookout for on vending.apk and youtibe.apk? lastly, can i take an icon from one rom and put it on another?

One word......METAMORPH BABY!!!!
Makes this exact issue a piece of cake. Just go to the MetaMorphs and grab the Android 2.0 pack and you can skin any of the apps
Enjoy!

[MetaMorph] Rosie Themes

This is a collection of all currently available Rosie themes (Stock, Espresso, Droid Launcher) in MetaMorph form.
Now, why should I use MetaMorph, some app I've never even heard of, instead of an update.zip, you might ask?
This will work for any ROM that is running Sense 2.1
You don't have to boot your phone into recovery or use ADB to apply it! You simply use an app on your phone and you can literally have a completely different theme in a matter of seconds!
It DOES NOT override any other themes that you're currently using! Whereas an update.zip will override any other theme (unless it's built into the .zip), MetaMorph only edits the files you tell it to edit, which means you can mix and match themes as your heart desires
To use:
Download MetaMorph from the market
Download the attached .zip(s) and place them in a folder called AndroidThemes on your sdcard
Launch MetaMorph, click Pick Theme, and select whichever .zip you want to apply. Follow the prompts from there and let MetaMorph do everything else
Espresso_Rosie just gives you the Espresso bottom bar with Stock icons.
Stock_Rosie reverts the bottom bar back to the Stock theme and stock icons.
DroidLauncher gives you the Droid Launcher theme. It does not change the icons at all.
Rosie_Icons just changes the icons. It does not change the bar at all.
Screenshots and .zips attached.
I would put up more screenshots but ddms isn't working. I'll see if I can find a link to a screenshot of the Droid Launcher
UPDATE: Fixed Stock_Rosie to include the navbar. Also the DroidLauncher theme now changes the icons back to stock.
**Rosie Icons ported over from here

Metamorph is a really good idea, I know its been out for a while, just never got much attn from hero users.
Theme devs (regaw and treve) should really hop on this man.
I look forward to the possible uses of this.

Works and looks great on Fresh 2.0d. Thanks OP!

Updated to include all Rosie themes!

I used to go up 423 daily until the new tollbridge opened.

I'm running DarchLegend 4.3.1 and this sent my Hero into a boot loop. I downloaded MetaMorph, applied the Espresso_Rosie.zip and everything went crazy. I rebooted into RA applied the Darkstar theme it booted up but then everything from all my Pure Widgets, Beautiful Widgets, and Google Voice started force closing. I had to wipe then re-flash the ROM, then use my Nandroid backup.

odd, i applied the droid launcher here and it worked perfectly for me, just a few initial force closes then everything was smooth sailing.

Dont think Darkstar for 2.1 does not work. I have tried to use Metamorph but a no go. It always says that the theme contol file cannot be read. Also how do you take screenshots of your phone. I know its some app of the market.

I use 'PicMe'
free, just need to be rooted

This is with the regulary zip by Darkstar (love the taskbar)
View attachment 304557
I updated it with the clear rosie (taskbar has changed)
View attachment 304558
and with the ugly lockscreen ewwwww
Be nice if I could it all black. No rosie, taskbar stay the same from first photo, without the gay taskbar. I know metamorph can do it but cant figure it out

Worked for me on darchlegend as well it does appear to bootloop just have patience it'll work

I think we should make using MetaMorph a standard for all new themes.

keeps saying the same message file could not be read. man i give up.

Was finally able to use the taskbar i wanted and the DroidLauncher using this.
+1

know where i can get the darkstar taskbar. the clear rosie that gave me does not work. maybe i am doing something wrong.
this is the one I used.

[MOD] MAKE YOUR OWN THEME!! Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

let me start of by saying I TAKE NO CREDIT for any of this... only think i did was discover this amazing thread.. (i've know about it for a quite a while now, but don't know why i hadn't decided on posting this here)
im only posting this thread here because not a lot of people in the cdma hero community know about this... and yes this should work with YOUR ROM, whatever that is you have.. seems to be pretty universal now...
here is the link to the main thread, with all credits going to the guys in the desire forum:

I tried it, but all my gapps were continuously FCing so I had to nandroid back. I might try it again without notification settings (I only did part of those, so maybe that screwed it up).

are u installing this over a current theme?? are u adding any transparencies in the notification bar? what rom are u using? i've had the gapps FC before with this, but got everything worked out to where everything works perfect now..

I'm guessing CM 6 comes with a theme.. so I'm gonna say yes. I didn't make anything transparent, but I only did settings for part of the notification window.
What sucks now is that I nandroided back to a backup I made earlier today and it made everything like I just flashed CM 6 but LauncherPro kept FCing.. trying to nandroid again. :\
Edit: Can I choose sense icons without having a sense rom? If not, that's probably my problem.

sense icons are fine... i've used them before..
try this, flash cm6 again (do not wipe) just flash the same one ur using again.. then flash ur theme u made.. (do not flash gapps again).. then reboot

If I remember that kitchen gave me issues a whole back with the rs folders... open your apk and look in the res folder check to see if v4 was appended to any of the drawable folders, if so delete the v4 part in the name and resign it.

Confirmed working on CM6RC1... Although not much in the way of theaming very limited but cool non the same. Very easy to use even for the beginner. What it changes should be pretty universal as long as you pay attention and choose the correct android version.

I'll try this when I get my new sdcard in the mail. Not much room to work with right now and I don't need my apps all messed up again if it doesn't work. Just gotta remember to take my WoW Authenticator off my account before messing with it, two hours on hold was not fun this morning!

Used this to get the circle battery with CM 6.1 RC1, my only issue is that now it displays a big "Roaming Indicator On" on my lockscreen (where the "Sprint" would usually be), and the roaming triangle is showing up in the taskbar (even though I'm like 98% sure I'm NOT roaming). Anyone have a suggestion of how to get rid of this? Maybe something I did in the process of cooking up the zip? All I want is the stock CM6 pulldown/notification bar with the circle battery, and also have the option to turn off the power control widget in the pulldown.

It worked. If anyone has the same issue, make sure you pull the framework-res.apk from your ROM and upload it when it asks you to.
Sprint said no Froyo for Hero, I said eff that.

I've been toying around with it today, trying to do a couple header and footer tweaks the easy way! But everytime I've gotten to the end I choose my file to upload. It just sits there, won't let me hit next, and don't see an actual upload button. Oh well, I'll find another way to tweak up aospMOD.
EDIT: Firefox issues.

The issue comes from, I believe the ROM loaded on the site is actually from a GSM, so yeah, uploading the one right from your ROM works wonders.

So finally after reading page 2 of this I got it to work, lol. I was using the framework from the site, once I uploaded mine it worked! Although I chose to change my icons and that didnt happen, anyone else get this problem? Not to big of deal, the main thing I wanted was circle battery

sometimes its easy to overlook a unticked box... once you've generated the icons you need to make sure that you have checked off that section.. its easy to forget to tick a box that you already generated, i've done it numerous times

I did it again and this time I checked the "include icons" and chose G4 blue sense 3D. Again they didnt show up This time what happened was my icons that were blue tinted (running Extremely Blue) turned white. Same stock icons, just white instead of the blue tinted ones. Can I use the sense icons?
Thanks
If it makes a difference I also selected the white notification bar icons as well, H1 DeFrost.

That was it, only chose the G4 blue sense 3D this time and it worked perfect! Now I need to do it again as there are a few I dont care for and would rather have my blue tinted ones, like signal bars

Now I got it looking BAD-A$$!!
Question,
When attempting to modify the Status bar notification I dont get to see the progress I am making. It looks like the Kitchen is supposed to let me see what each mod will look like as I change things, shouldnt that checkered area to the right of status bar mod settings show a preview of what I a doing, while I do it?
EDIT>>>>> Nevermind, I found to click generate at the bottom of page
Thanks

Alright so I redid my phone last night (starting from scratch when I know a little more about this stuff is good ) and tried this again, got the circle battery mod and the status bar icons and it works great!
If it helps anyone, I uploaded my framework this time instead of choosing from the list.

Need Cool Dialers for Inspire - Suggestions Needed

hi guys.. i got virtuous unity v2.39 installed. can you guys recommend cool looking dialers for my inspire? i want one where you flash it to your phone when installing it so it replaces the current android stock dialer.

Maybe you're not looking for this or have already tried, but go dialer is nice with kits of themes

ok it seems like you dont read before you think. if you take the time time to read my question, i specifically asked for a dialer to replace the stock one on my phone. go dialer is an app that doesnt replace stock dialers.

Ok I will try and let your rude comments go this time. You cant fully replace the stock dialer. All you can do is use another app. As your using a sense based rom. you cant fully replace the dialer

Sorry bud, I was just trying to be helpful.

If you want themed dialers full themes have them you can extract the dialer apk from the zip. And flash them in a new zip.

Like I said you can't replace the dialer. That is just a theme. Meaning its the same dialer just different colors. Theming the dialer is not hard but not easy either. If you don't want to do it by hand you have to find a themed dialer that is from your OS version and Sense version and then swap the apks. Or you can dig in amd learn to theme it yourself. A search for apkmultitool and sense theme tut will get you started down that road.

Yeah IT will work. It will take you a few trial and errors as there are many things that it doesnt tell you. Like all the images for the dialer are in 3 apks. com.htc.resources, HTCdialer.apk and Phone.apk. I have themed the dialer before and to get it just right I spent about 2 days editing images in Photoshop and changing color code XMLs in notepad++

I would personally go with CM. I never advice MIUI. Theming while it is hard and time consuming, when you get it just the way you want it is all worth it. Click the Gotham link in my sig to see mine.
And before I get the crap about why from others. MIUI took CM open source coding, Themed it and then made it closed source and then sold it on a device only available in China.

thank you for sharing your device. it looks good. i want to install cryogen. but i'd like to ask you these questions 1st. i asked them in my other thread..
1) can you install launcherpro and desktop virtualizer on a miui and cyrogen?
2) can you also turn it into an android phone 7 with these o/s's?
3) can you install any android app?
4) hows the batt life and performance on both miui and cryogen?
5) can you list a few cryogen roms that are best for battery and performance?
6) what are the pros and cons of miui/cryogen compared to sense?

The apk file is listed on some sites but, as you would expect, I wouldn't really recommend grabbing and installing from there, you might be able to extract icons though. You can rename a .apk file to .zip and extract.

I totally forgot about Buff... I used to maintain a Buff-related ROM and theme back in the HTC Hero days.

I'd forever be thankful, i'm sure alot would like this. Buuf Icons are so unique.

Anyone found something?
Or can give some information on how to build an icon set?

I still use Buuf down to this day. I just the icons manually. Get an Buuf icon pack from the creator (he still host them down to this day) or extract the highest resolution from an icon pack (ive gotten them from Linux themes and old photobucket accounts.)
