Hey,
now I have a big problem. I wan't to update my themes for the new cyanogen ROM.
But the colorchnger gives an error.
Whats up with it? I can't change the font colours for this rom. RTbhis is not really cool. Any themers out there, who have worked on it? Evereything fine for you?
Put this in services: Attached classes.dex
OK, thank you, mate. What is in it?
Is it a patched classes.dex from yourself?
Did you do it with original cyanogen 5.0.5.1 rom without any errors?
Excuse my ignorance, but I rely pretty heavily on how well the developers automate ost of this stuff. If I am using the Glass Status Bar, and need to do this, can you explain how I put this in services? I just dont want to screw anything up
The best is, you wait until it's ready. There are two small files which must be updated in the themes.
This one (with cyanogen 5.0.5.1) is not so easy. I think, I give it a try this afternoon.
I'm cool with that. Also, could you include an Apply All with your theme?

UPDATE!!! EXTRAS FOR MR AVAILABLE!
The extras have now been updated with the new apps to support the MR that Sprint has released. I also included new files. The files are listed below:
New!! Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Optimized Rosie
Optimized framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk (Animations and lockscreen)
New Bootscreen
Installation:
Just put it in the root of your sd card, select the file in recovery and flash. This should work fine on any rom (Stock Rooted, MoDaCo, Fresh, etc)
Please report any bugs in this thread. Note, I havent had time to test so report what doesnt work and I will fix it.
Thanks go out to Mlign (Dream forums) for the new animations and ruskiyab for the new lockscreen and of course every developer on these forums. Without you guys we would be nothing.
Downloads: (These are only for MR systems. If you do not have the MR download the file below Old Downloads)
Gutted Rom Extras - MR Only! - http://www.4shared.com/file/155693549/bc10459/gutted-hero-15-extras-signed.html

Works nice. Is there anyway to adjust the animations?

Another person on the forums are looking into this. The xml files that contain the animation data seem to be encoded or encrypted in some way so until we can modify them we can't do anything just yet.
Well, for the short of it, adjusting the boot animations (like the Sprint logo or the Hero animated gifs) shouldn't be much harder than creating a new animated gif, packaging it up inside a zip under the /system/media/bootscreen/ directory (see chuckhriczko's mod in the first post of this thread for a good example), and installing it.
Customizing the actual animations, meaning the way things like menus or new screens fade/slide/grow/etc both in and out, that's a whole new, and fairly complicated ball game. Customizing the XML files themselves actually isn't that difficult. Packaging them up is.
I have more research and testing to do, but the general idea is that you write out your custom animation sequence in plain text XML. However, android expects this XML to be in a customized binary format when it reads it from the apk file. To do that, you need to package the apk and sign it through the android tools. The plug-in for Eclipse can do this, and supposedly so can aapt though I couldn't get it to serialize the XML when I tried earlier. So essentially, an entire repackage of the framework-res.apk file is necessary to have your own custom animation sequences within the UI.
Once I learn more I'll try to post a thread about it. I'll post it in Themes and Apps (seems appropriate) but link it here.
Thanks chuckhriczko!
Doh! After installing this, my sensesui always force closes after many reboots... not sure why, using the newest fresh rom...

I believe that this will have to be redone using the MR that came out yesterday. not sure, but the .apk files are probably different.

Yeah. Someone else mentioned this to me as well. I am going to update this soon as I can. Question for yall, I have an optimized Rosie for use with my Gutted rom. Would yall be interested in me including this optimized Rosie in this package too?

Installed on Fresh Rom .4. Phone is noticeably faster, love it! Thanks!
This is superb the fasted my Hero has ran Thank you much chuckhRiczko
Works lovely but I can't seem to change my lock wallpaper... is that because of the new lock screen? I believe I was able to change it previously even w/ the addons... another thing that I'm not sure is related to these addons or not is that I can't seem to do a PRL update. I'm gettin a Error code 1012... anyone else getting that error?
Thank you SO MUCH!!! This thread deserves a sticky since it can be added on to many custom roms!
I just flashed Fresh ROM .5d and tossed the extras on top. LOVE the quick and simple boot, LOVE the new bolder lock screen and I LOOOVE how my hero FLIES now, and the animations make it so much cooler!!!!
This weekend has been great for Hero owners!
Seems like all the themes are for CM.
Are there themes, good ones, that any of you use for Enom's 1.8.1???
If so, where and how can I install them?
Thanks guys!
NexTheme by Manup is probably the best overall theme and is available for Enom...

If it is a morph, then unless it contains .xml or .dex files then it will work for Enomther's ROM as long as the .apk's are in the same location as specified in the .thm file of the morph.
To my knowledge, most of the major themes are available for Cyanogen's and Enomther's ROM.
The thread should say in the OP what ROMs it will work for and if is a flashable file, then the downloads should be separated by ROM, the same if it is morph that contains either .xml or .dex files.
You install morphs via MetaMorph. There is a sticky on morphs and discussions of them. There is a guide on how to install morphs via MetaMorph in one of them.
Flashable files are placed on the sdcard and flashed from recovery just like you flash a ROM, except, you do NOT wipe when flashing a theme UNLESS it is a full ROM, then there would be explicit warnings that the theme is actually a themed ROM with proper notices about wiping and such.
"good ones" is a relative term and can really only be determined by yourself. The screen shots are usually fairly low quality and don't truly give it justice to how it looks on the phone.
If you want to just test out a theme and don't know whether or not you will want to keep it on your phone for a period of time, then the best thing to do is make a nandroid in recovery before applying the morph of flashing the theme.

Yeah...I started with Kspec and then moved to Nextheme...but, I still use the Kspec battery icon!
thank you all! i'll tried NexTheme. it's nice.
Any ideas how to change that default green highlight color so I can see the actual text (ie. opening up the browser).
Also, is there a good clock/weather widget (a large one?)
I just started making themes and I plan on creating roms next. I started working on my theme and wanted to see how it would look on the phone. I re-compressed the zip file back to an apk and got an error about it not being signed. The same thing also happened with some code I worked on. I just need to know how to sign the apps. Please help!
Look for avaboxV2 You can sign zips, apks and a whole lot more stuff for theming ie. smali editing
Also this should be in Q&A.
Also i know this has been answered b4
But its nice to see newer faces working on stuff for the Hero

THANK BRO!!! I tried searching for it but, got no where. Should I use this on the stock rom or can it be used with custom roms?
I like the Aloysius and I like the other couple themes using his color menus... That said, thats ALL I want... The color menus.
Does anyone have an install that JUST has color menus? Please? Thanks!
hey im looking for the same i dont want to flash any rom i just want the color theme any idea how can make this happen
I actually started to go threw all the apk files in Aloysius last night. I've been trying to ask the writer of Aloysius if he would make just a color menu ad-don but he either never saw my posts in his thread or wasn't interested.
Trying to figure out if I can just replace the png files etc so when I install it I get the icons I want now. If I figure it out, I'll let you know. Either way it's going to be zip that's flashable from recovery but not a whole ROM, heck even the writer of Aloysius released it as both a rom and a theme so you dont HAVE to flash a rom.
+1 if anyone gets this working.

It's not that I wasn't interested....but you want the png's/color menus to go where. I have a theme that is not a whole ROM like you are looking for in the themes thread. If I just pick a rom that is from "stock" it might not be compatible with the one you are running or another person is running. If I create a stock looking theme with just the color menus.....everyone will have to flash that paritcular ROM that I am throwing the menus onto.
I can't just make a color menus theme that fits all stock ROMS.....so which "one" stock rom do you ALL want to flash and use to get the color menus with?
I would like it on fresh. 1. 01

I was reading around and I read that with cm7.1 you get t mobile theme chooser, I just wanted to know how to get that on our hybrid version???
Since the theme is specific to the device as it is certain files that are modified, you would have to extract the parts of those files that actually make up the "theme." Most of the files, if I am correct, are .apk such as framework-res.apk, settings.apk, etc... You can't just extract those from any ROM as it will leave you in a bootloop or bricked. However, I would say that it is possible to get the theme chooser for our device, but there would be many parts that would have to be change in order to get it to work correctly. The theme that you would download with that app would download another app that changes the necessary files for you... However, with lots of research, lots of time, and lots of patience... anything is possible...
