Updated 5/26/10 with new version supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for download.
EDIT 4/12/10: See last link at the bottom of this thread regarding the shaded notification area apk/option
Ladies and Gentlemen, after a bunch of trial and error, I am proud to announce that I have achieved a clear lock screen for 2.1. I arrived at this starting with the Fresh 2.0d framework, but this should work on the latest DamageControl ROM as well, since they are both based on the latest Sprint leak.
This will provide a clear lock screen, as well as blank out the "Sprint" text above the clock on the lock screen. Essentially, allowing you to customize a clear lock screen the same way traditionally done on 1.5 ROMs.
Included is a transparent png for 'lockscreen_topedge.png', so themers who want to create their own graphics over top of the clear lock screen should replace this .png with their custom graphic. You can see in my screen capture below, I replaced it with my own custom team logo. However, as mentioned, the attached zip simply provides a completely clear lock screen with no image and clock / date only.
It should also be noted that since HTC has merged a few elements into a single apk, that to clear out the lock bar graphics, I had to include in the attached signed zip the 'com.htc.resources.apk' file as well. What this means is that if you have done any other customizations, such as changing your Rosie launcher from the default Fresh 2.0d espresso launcher to any other launcher, as well as some modifications to your taskbar, the attached will undo this and revert back (at least partially) to the original Espresso launcher included by default, as well as some stock taskbar icons.
Themers can take this and run with it to modify other elements as necessary.
Before flashing the attached zip from recovery, you need to either use Fresh's kitchen to clear out your current cached wallpaper (it will still work), or manually do so via adb by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *
cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*
exit
Note: You may or may not have anything to delete in /system/customize/resource, so if you get an error message, don't worry.
Then, reboot into recovery, flash the attached zip from your sdcard, and you are off to the races. Enjoy!
Download Signed Zip <--- Also clears the lockbar (w/side affect of having to flash stock espresso launcher found in Fresh 2.0d)
Download Signed Zip <--- Also clears the lockbar (w/side affect of having to flash stock HTC Rosie launcher found in DC v2.05)
EDIT: Attached is another zip that will ONLY change the HtcLockScreen.apk. ONLY flash this if you ALREADY have the clear lockbar flashed from a previous mod. Using this will prevent changing of your launcher and/or taskbar elements, but also will NOT clear out the lockbar icons (gray/black arches on stock HTC lockscreen). So again, ONLY flash if you already have a clear lockbar. Otherwise, you will have to manually edit your com.htc.resources.apk file to insert the clear lockbar images (see post later in this thread)
Download Signed Zip <--- If you already have a clear lockbar.
Reference (note: this shows my own custom launcher, however, as mentioned above, the attached zips includes the stock ROM launcher):

EDIT 2: By popular demand, I have also created a completely "clockless / date-less" clear lockscreen (see below), which can be found Here. As mentioned in that post, since it is completely clear, I had to drop-in / default something, so you know the lockscreen is active, so I made it the android logo you see below. Change as desired.
Reference (w/o clock & date):
---- Menu key disabled apk below ----
EDIT 3: I have also modified the HtcLockScreen apk to disable the 'Menu' key for unlocking the screen. If you prefer this functionality, see here.
EDIT 4: Inverted version, with black text on white background, including menu key unlock disabled can be found here.
EDIT 5: To add a shaded notification at the bottom of your lockscreen, ONLY when a notification is present, see here.

I decompiled the apk and nulled out the call to the jpg all together. This ends up with a default black background, that I then hex edited in the XML to change to transparent instead. That's the short version.

You can see it based on last modifed dates right in the apk, that the 2 files changed were:
htc_keyguard_screen_lock.xml
lock_screen_bar.xml
But this was not it. I also modified the classes.dex file to alter some calls as well.

and where do you do your hex editing?
So I am assuming that we can edit the lockscreen_topedge.png file same as before to get the results that we want with custom images correct?

OK, must admit to being slightly confused
I have Regawmod with black launcher.
If I flash this (which I Just did) it defaults to espresson launcher.
How did you end up with white launcher as in this screen shot ? And how can I get my black launcher back WITH clear lockscreen WITHOUT the bar ?

I have the white launcher because I customized 'com.htc.resources.apk' to be that way. Since 'com.htc.resources.apk' also includes the launcher, as well as the graphics that you need to make transparent for the clear lockbar, I have no choice but to inlcude the stock espresso as the launcher in the attached zip.

You have to merge / modify your original 'com.htc.resources.apk' file to keep (not change), your original black launcher, but include the clear lockbar graphics. Unfortunately, they are BOTH in the same file.
Go to the com.htc.resources.apk file in the attached zip, and in the:
com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
folder, grab the images:
lockscreen_arc.png
lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
And drop them in the same folder in your original com.htc.resources.apk file, and push it back to your phone, and you will retain your original launcher but have the clear lock bar to go along with the clear lockscreen.

I started porting some of the themes done in 2.x to metamorph by popular demand. This has many advantages over just using apks as these should be pretty standard across roms & they are easier to work off of. Id consider all of this experimental as I havent had time to test every rom/scenario so if something doesnt work please leave details on what rom & theme + whats broken. Nandroid first.
Please leave feedback if stuff works & Feel free to work off of these, post your own metamorphs with screenshots and ill update this.
To apply get metamorph from the market. Dump zip file in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/ Do not rename zip file. Run metamorph & apply all.
If you were running a previous non metamorph theme or you do not get all the intended updates try pushing a 'stock' com.htc.resources.apk & framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ (or whatever APK its tripping up on) from the original rom & trying again.

Hey TrevE I flashed the the Darkstar mod metamorph you posted in the other thread which is what I assume the same as the one you posted here. Just some more feedback, I noticed that the one thats on my phone is the normal Darkstar theme and not the mod version with the grey battery icons and what not. Applied it a second time to make sure. Also the stock espresso spits out an error about halfway through stating that it cannot be processed due to theme control file being invalid.

What APK was metamorph on when it died off? Did you try to apply the metamorph from inside launcher instead of having sense running? I had some issues inside sense. I applied the espresso one again and it seemed OK.

That was on just extracting the espresso zip. it died at 57% everytime and spat out that error and shutdown metamorph. I'll try running both from launcher instead.
Edit: Actually I noticed when I was about to clear defualt it says there is no default set. I'm running DCv2.05 btw.

I also just downloaded homeswitcher to check but on DCv2.05 there is only Sense no launcher2 or anything else. Seems kinda strange cause I always remembered being able to atleast use the default Home on other roms before.

I dont think DC had it in it. You can just push this to /system/app/ its the launcher i hexed with 5screen home. If its failing extracting can you open the zip in winzip?

Thanks, interestingly even though my sd card said it had about 90MB free I extracted it on my pc and then transfered it to my phone which initially gave me disk full so I cleared some space and transfered it. Whats wierd is it only shows as being 17.6 MB
Font replacements for 2.x ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6118436&postcount=6
your darkstar theme and blackice didnt work for fresh 2.0d :/
Got a question. Which file do I have to edit to change the font color of the text in the task bar? I'm working on a theme, but the white text doesn't work on a light background.
I was intially going to just post the results after a couple days of playing around with your metamorph themes and what worked and didn't. The only one theme that I got the best results out of was your Darkstar Mod them. Most of the team applied with a few exceptions. And I could never get the stock espresso to work it would always loop on com.htc.resources. I had minimal luck with MarksTheme. After a little bit of digging I noticed after comparing what was working with what wasn't as well as the original rom apks the folder structure was incorrect for some themes or they weren't in the right folder which explained why things wouldn't change. What I noticed thus far:
Darkstar Mod - HtcClockWidget: pngs are in root instead of /res/drawable-normal-mdpi
Darkstar Mod - WorldClock: pngs are in /drawable-mdpi instead of /res/drawable-mdpi
Marks Theme - com.htc.resources: pngs are in /res/drawable-mdpi/drawable-mdpi instead of /res/drawable-mdpi
Thats what I got thus far from examining the themes and just wanted to give you a heads up. I'm gonna fix them myself as realized how relatively simple it is to port to Metamorph. Hopefully you can look through yourself and fix anything else you find. Thanks though for giving me a reason to get into this a little bit more. Personally I'm still reluctant to actually try editing png's myself.
Edit: After a little more playing I made a stock Metamorph of Damage's Rom so I can revert back to. I found that just like you're stock espresso it would stay forever on com.htc.resources.apk. Just like you I extracted the stock apk's and put them in the corresponding folders and created a thm for it. I noticed that it wasn't frozen at com.htc.resources it just seemed to keep going forever and ever (+5min). My logical thought was it's trying to replace sooo many files in there that it's taking very long. After checking most Metamorph themes I realized they don't even change half of the files inside of com.htc.resources.apk so I removed all of them except drawable, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-port-mdpi tried again and voila it finished installing. (Note there is only 1 Metamorph theme that I found that changes drawable and drawable-port-mdpi everything else thus far is only drawable-mdpi)
Edit2: After putting the correct file structure and nandroiding back to a pre-metamorphed backup I was able to apply your theme and everything changed that should have changed without a problem. I'm assuming as well that the current themes will still work on the new DamageControl as the frameworks should still be the same from the previous version.

wondering if we can get some color changes to the contacts lists etc.....maybe some grey and black....or even godzons ported over to the new damage?
Clear Colored Powerbar:
Icons borrowed from Aloysius mod. Changed 'on' indicator to the stock green.
How do you just install the notification bar
Anyway to use MetaMorph to only install the notification bar on one of these themes? I like the different notification bars but want to leave the remainder of my Rosie Stock theme intact...
Any guidance would be appreciated.

You need to track down what files were modified in what apk's in order to create a metamorph theme. It's a pain to do it the first time around, but from then out on, it's much easier than incorporating the changed files into a new apk with every new rom.
EDIT: This mod has been integrated directly into the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, thus, to date, I have yet to update it as a standalone MetaMorph / Zip.
Based on popular demand, I decided to take a look at the Vanilla Lockscreen today, to see if there was a way to remove the majority of text from the screen, so that all you are left with, for the most part, is the slider bar for screen unlock and the slider bar for volume on/off.
It turned out to be quite an undertaking, and required some significant code modifications, and unfortunately, a single hex edit to an XML file, meaning the mod is spread across 2 files, rather than my goal of 1. But, having said this, I am pleased to announce my efforts were not in vain.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, a completely clear Vanilla lockscreen for your enjoyment . Special thanks to flipzmode for the original format fix on the vanilla lockscreen. My starting point for working on this fix was the android.policy.jar file containing flipz's fix for the formatting, emergency call, as well as the menu key unlock disable.
Reference:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First, if you are currently running the stock HTC Lockscreen, if you wish to move to the Vanilla lockscreen, after flashing one of the options below, you will need to move your HTC Lockscreen out of the way, via adb, by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
This will NOT delete your stock lockscreen, rather, simply move it out of the way, so that if you want to move back to the stock lockscreen, you can also undo your change:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.bak HtcLockScreen.apk
exit
As mentioned, above, the fix is across two framework files, 'android.policy.jar', as well as the 'keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml' file in the \res\layout folder of the 'framework-res.apk' file.
Attention: Since you are changing a core android framework file, after flashing, your Dalvik cache will get rebuilt, so rebooting will take some time, based on the number of apps you have installed. Be patient and watch your logcat.
So, here are your 2 options.
Option #1
Option #1's flashable zip contains BOTH files. Flash this for a completely clear vanilla lockscreen ONLY if you have not made any other changes (themes) within your framework-res.apk file (custom taskbar), as the zip will return this file back to stock, with the exception of my fix for the lockscreen.
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Complete <---Only flash if you are running stock theme from Fresh 2.0d.
Option #2
Option #2's flashable zip contains the 'android.policy.jar' file ONLY. Flash this to make the primary framework file change:
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Jar Only <---This is the .jar file only.
Then, after flashing the jar file only, you will need to manually edit your 'framework-res.apk' file, by placing the file below in the framework-res.apk's '\res\layout\' folder.
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.txt<---Remove .txt extension after downloading.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
Open 'framework-res.apk' with WinRar or 7zip, navigate to the '\res\layout\' folder, and drag and drop the above XML into this folder. Close up the file, then:
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

If you are running a different ROM, other than stock espresso Fresh 2.0d, then Option #2 presented above is your best course of action, so as to not mess up your existing taskbar, etc.
Also, it should be noted, this does not contain any of the Alarm clock changes, etc, necessary when you are using the Vanilla lockscreen. Please see Flipz's site for flashing the needed files if you are NOT already running the Vanilla lockscreen and don't want to have alarm clock disable issues.
EDIT: If you prefer an opaque (non-transparent) black background, rather than the default / semi-transparent, please see here.
EDIT 2: If you are a MetaMorph user, thanks to danaff37 for putting together a few MetaMorphs of my mod that you can use as well.
EDIT 3: New version posted which allows for a background wallpaper image instead, see here.
EDIT 4: See this post to remove the haptic feedback after having first flashed your desired vanilla version above.
sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I just wish the HTC clock/weather widget updated under the lock screen
Awesome! Thanks man!

just out of curiosity, have you removed the haptic feedback from the lock as well? that was something I had asked a few other Devs about.

No, I did not look at that at all. It's not something that bothers me / wasn't aware of it as an "popular" request. I can certainly look at it though.

I'm not sure that it's a "popular" request just something I was asking Konikub about and he had agreed that he didn't like it either. It just seems to cause a bit of a lag when unlocking my phone. If it's something that cannot be done without a lot of work I will live with it.
You "ARE" the man!!!!! This is just what I was looking for A true master, at such a tricky craft!!! All hats go off to you!!!

Sure, use Option #2, as explained.
if i was to use option two would it mess with my lock that i have now ?
I apologize for what I'm certain is a noob question but...

Then, after flashing the jar file only, you will need to manually edit your 'framework-res.apk' file, by placing the file below in the framework-res.apk's '\res\layout\' folder.

How? Are you saying we need to hex edit framework-res.apk, or just stick
"keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" someplace?
id use this lock screen if we could apply custom background wallpapers.

It would change the background for opaque black to semi-transparent as shown in the OP, but your graphics would remain unchanged.

All the heavy lifting is already done for you. Yes, per the instructions, just stick "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" in the \res\layout folder in 'framework-res.apk'.

For me, it defeats the point / goal of what I wanted to achieve, i.e. seeing clear through to the desktop behind the lockscreen, with nothing obstructing the view...
I decided to start this thread because I just finished my first EVO mod.
I'll continue to use this thread to post any more stuff I do in the future.
Don't expect too much from this thread, I'm pretty much a weekend warrior when it comes to this stuff but I do like to tweak things to my preference and if anyone else digs it then cool.
I'm partial to DC roms so anything I post here was built on DC, if it's not I will clarify.
Most DC mods will work on other roms also built on the Sprint release but I make no guarantees and will probably not be doing any testing on other builds
NANDROID FIRST!!!

Battery Gauge Icons
I haven't figued out how to make the .xml's for metamorph so these are flashable signed.zips of each battery set.
I've also included a NON flashable .zip of all the flashable .zips and a .zip of the images for
those who would like to drop the .png's in themselves to preserve any other themes/mods (to the framework-res.apk).
See the bottom of this post for "How To Add .pngs to framework-res.apk".
None of these have a BG, I put gray behind them so you can see the depth a little better

Metamorph - View attachment GlowBattRN.zip
DOWNLOAD - batt_round_blue_signed.zip

These two .zips are NOT flashable.
They are a .zip of all of the flashable .zips above (if you want to try more than one )
and a .zip of the .pngs themselves along with the .psd (if anyone wants to play )
They also both include this Alarm ON Icon
Battery_Gauge_Set.zip (all the flashable zips above)
nebs_2.2_batt_Icons.zip (all the icon .pngs)
I just realized the Alarm ON Icon I included has the stock Sense taskbar bg..

HOW TO CHANGE FRAMEWORK ICONS AND PRESERVE OTHER MODS:These instructions will work on Sprint/HTC as well as AOSP builds
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!!
Plug phone into PC (USB)
Open a cmd prompt (may need to open as administrator in win7/vista, not sure)
Navigate to "c:\android-sdk\tools" (unless it's in your path)
Type the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\
Open a windows explorer window and locate the framework-res.apk you just pulled to c:\
Use 7zip or WinRAR to open the archive of the framework-res.apk (right click on the .apk)
In the archive of the .apk open res/drawable-hdpi, you should see a TON of .pngs
Open the folder that contains the images you want to use
Drag and drop the images into res/drawable-hdpi (the new images must be the same name as the original)
Close 7zip/WinRAR
Go back to your cmd prompt and type:
Code:
adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework
[COLOR="green"][B]#Once the push is finished QUICKLY TYPE:[/B]
[/COLOR]
adb reboot
*Replacing framework-res can have some funky effects on the phone. When you are booted (only once, the first time after pushing the apk) it's likely your wallpaper will be reset to stock and you may have to add your google account back and re-sync, neither have been terribly inconvenient for me
how do you install? sorry for a noobish question.

Yeah I should have mentioned the notibar bg is part of the framework so there's lots of stuff that will return to stock if you flash this.

yup i am back to normal from the backup .. hopefully there will be an update on this mod
Working on stuff for 2.2 now..
I will be posting a transparent tray for DC FroYo soon
Right now I'm working on some taskbar icons. I thought it might be cool to have a fuel gauge for the battery..
I have the whole battery set done once I get a couple more things done I'll zip and sign an update if anyone's interested
I thought about doing a speedometer for cdma but FroYo only uses 4 icons..

Cyanogen 7.1.0 Final ColorMOD + Nightlies
I have spent several hours/days/weeks compiling a simple yet powerfully awesome ColorMOD for Cyanogen7. I would not call this a "Theme" by any stretch of the imagination as all I wanted was some gosh-darned COLOR in my ROM aside from the puke-green of Gingerbread.
I pulled icons from about 7 different theme-packs, I edited a crapton of them in photoshop, and some of them I made myself. I did *NOT* add color icons to the google apps for several reasons, the largest of which is that modifying them can cause them to not update.
If you see any glitches, or an icon I missed please holler at me here and I will fix it immediately. I try to stay on top of the nightly builds as best I can but whatever.
I started this MOD as a request from a friend of mine, and figured it was really nice and maybe some of you out there would like to run it.
I am seriously struggling with the new Theme engine, so this is a .zip flashable that overwrites your default system theme. Other theme packs will of course still work perfectly.

I've been making changes slowly and subtly but I figured it was high and time to make a change-log seeing as I plan to keep this updated due to its popularity.
Changelog:
Added color birthday icon & changed the profile icon when holding down power button (the other one looked out of place)
Added colored icon for the screenshot option when holding down the power button
Changed the vertical color bar from yucky orange to awesome BLUE~!
Updated the WiFi Icon, embossed & changed the single dot to RED when theres no signal
Updated the 4G Icon in the notification bar with ones made by member "Vegasden"
Updated the system Font from ubuntu10.10 to ubuntu, makes scrolling text less laggy and looks the same
Updated window animations to the "Fly-IN" method. Very smooth, very cool.
To Do:
Make the notifications in the drop-down bar transparent (looks like butthole, gonna try and just inverse the colors)
Convert what I can to a theme manager .apk file (WIP, maybe never, Im having issues/lack of help)
And Finally, the Download

===========================================================
TUTORIAL
===========================================================
If you want to modify this theme, use its pictures, make your own themes, distribute whatever, here is my "method" for creating this color modification. Download the files below and lets play "follow-along"
Android "Auto-Sign" Tool
http://www.soulpirates.info/downloads/android_autosign.zip
ColorMOD Template Package
http://www.soulpirates.info/downloads/Cyanogen7_ColorMOD_Template.rar
Open this webpage in a browser
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Download the version of Cyanogen you wish to modify
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
Download the last previous version of the ColorMOD
Links above
Know how to use Adobe Photoshop
Have a good zip program for opening .apk files (I use 7zip)
_
Step 1:
Download & Extract the latest Cyanogen ROM to a folder on your computer
Download & Extract the latest ColorMOD to a folder on your computer
Download & Extract the Cyanogen7_ColorMOD_Template to a folder on your computer
Step 2:
Rename the ColorMOD folder to reflect the new version number i.e. rename "Cyanogen7-rc4_ColorMOD(stock)" ~> "Cyanogen7-n36_ColorMOD(stock)"
Open folder from the latest ROM & the latest ColorMOD side-by-side
Navigate down to the \system\app folder on both
Notice that the ROM has several dozen apk files, and the ColorMOD has only 5
In the ROM folder, grab the 5 .apk files that you see in the ColorMOD folder
Contacts.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
SystemUI.apk
Move them into the ColorMOD folder overwriting the 5 that are in there, this way you have the latest versions of them directly from the ROM
Step 3:
Navigate both folders to \system\framework
Open the website
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Navigate to the "File Upload" tab
Under "framework-res.apk"
Choose "Select File"
Upload the "framework-res.apk" from the ROM folder
You will now see a progress bar that it is uploading
When it says "Complete"
Click on the tab that says "Windows Animation"
For ColorMOD I use "Flying"
Check the box that says "Use this mod" and click the radio button that says "Flying"
Click on the tab that says "Battery"
Check "Use this mod"
Click on the option that says "SCB with %"
This allows you to use 1% battery increments
Pick ANY option, it doesnt matter, we will be overwriting the battery image files anyways
Click on "Summary" Tab
You will now see three items in green
-Battery
-Windows Animation
-File upload
Click on "Submit work to kitchen" and wait approx 10 minutes.
It will now prepare the framework-res.apk for you that you will be using for the finishing touches on the ColorMOD. You use this kitchen because it prepares all of the REALLY hard stuff for you, such as editing XML files to allow 1% battery and flying in window animations. You can actually just save the xml files it modifies and use them going forward so your not impacting the website, but for this tutorial were going through all the steps from scratch.
Step 4:
Download the file you just "cooked" and save it into your working folder
Open the zip file, it will start with UOT, and extract the framework-res.apk file from it
Now take the "framework-res.apk" file, and OVERWRITE the one in your ColorMOD folder in \system\framework
Step 5:
You are now ready to overwrite the stock image files (nasty green piles of puke) with your beautiful and glorious colorized ones.
Most of this has been prepped for you so it is now SUPER easy. Getting the apk files over and the framework prepared are the hard parts. Now its really just a matter of drag/drop.
Open the ColorMOD template folder side-by-side to the working ColorMOD folder
You will notice that in the \system\app folder you have .apk files that match the FOLDER names in the template folder
Now, simply open the .apk file (I use 7zip), and its corresponding folder in the template
Drag and drop, overwriting all the files when it prompts you
Once you have done that for all of the .apk files in \system\app
Open the \system\framework folder and repeat the same process
Step 6:
You have now replaced every puke-green picture and black & white nonsense with glorious color
Now you need to zip it, sign it, and flash it. Ill show you how to customize it a little bit first
-Close all your folders now except the ColorMOD folder, you are done with the ROM and Template now.
Go to the root so all you see is "META-INF" & "system"
Dig all the way down to \Cyanogen7-n36_ColorMOD(stock)\META-INF\com\google\android
Open the "updater-script" file (I use notepad2)
This should look familiar. Its where you can customize the messages that are played out while flashing the zip file
I shouldnt have to tell you, but dont F*CK with the stuff that doesnt say "ui_print" You have probrably flashed this enough times to know what shows up on the screen and what doesnt. The stuff that doesnt show up, is the stuff that is actually telling the system how to flash the zip file. Anyways, change it up a little, remove my name, put your own ascii art in there, do whatever you want - save/close
You may have also noticed some extra folders in there that we didnt discuss here, "fonts" & "media" ~> Well open them up, the fonts is what replaces your system font with ubuntu10 font, and media is where the bootanimation is located, as well as a few ringtones/notifications I put onto your phone when you flash. You can replace the files in here with whatever you want, add your own bootanimation, dump some ringtones, change the system font etc. When your all done having fun...
-Head back to the root folder so all you see is "META-INF" & "system"
select both folders and zip them up like so
Step 7:
IMPORTANT
-Do NOT flash this if you have modified ANYTHING in the TEMPLATE!!! (This includes ringtones/notifications/etc)
IMPORTANT
You can technically now flash this file, it is signed and ready to go, however, if you modified ANYTHING from the template at all you need to re-sign the file. Signing the file generates a "manifest" of every file that is included in the archive, if you add or remove a file, you need to resign the archive or it will completely bork on install.
To sign files easily, you MUST have the android-sdk installed, I would assume that most of you have this but if not download and install it.
Extract the auto-sign file you downloaded from the top and put the files in the \android\tools folder (android being the folder of your sdk installation)
You will see a beautiful and wonderful .bat file called autosign.bat -YAY!
Move your .zip file to a location that has ZERO spaces in the path. If you have a space the bat file will hang and freeze
To make things easy just put it on the root of your c: drive or something and make sure the zip file name has ZERO spaces
Double check that the patch and file name has ZERO spaces, if your not sure, put it on the root of the c drive and name the file like "a.zip"
Open the autosign.bat file
Choose option (4) Sign files manually
now type the path of your colormod, for example c:\a.zip
Hit enter
If it reads
File signed successfully if no Errors above.
Your good
Step 8:
Copy the zip file to your phone and flash it
Your a god-damned champ! Pat yourself on the back.
Looks like a winner to me! Ty for sharing.

This is Specifically for Nightly 22 (I put that at the very top of the post)
You will need to re-flash rc1, or I would HIGHLY reccomend moving to nightly 22 as it fixes several issues like the gps/wifi/hotspot/ and misc kernel fixes.
here is a link to nightly22, once you flash that it should boot up fine (remember to wipe your cache before upgrading.... no need to wipe data though).
Once you boot up fine, THEN reflash the colormod and you will be happy!!!
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
NOTE: if you want to stay on RC1 for whatever reason, just download the RC1 mixer theme from this thread, it should get you out of your bootloop

I started this MOD as a request from a friend of mine, and figured it was really nice and maybe some of you out there would like to run it.
I am seriously struggling with the new Theme engine, so this is a .zip flashable that overwrites your default system theme. Other theme packs will of course still work perfectly.
Oh and one final thing, the battery only ticks off in increments of 5. I wouldnt mind doing 1% ticks but I dont know how to edit the .xml files that control how often it pulls the battery image. If any of you have insight, well.... awesome! Drop me a PM.
Anyways heres the snaps, download will be attached at the bottom.
And Finally, the Download (Please note this is for Cyanogen 7 Nightly 22)

Well, believe it or not, this is the only reason why I use cm7 now, I never liked the no color menus, unlike sense.. You did some awesome work here, thanks a million, and deeply appreciate how you keep up with the nightlys... Thanks again

Will there be a theme chooser apk?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Waiting for the update for nightly 26! You can probably flash the .zip for 25 over it I assume but I will wait for the new .zip. really does look great, maybe try getting in touch with the developer of the honeybread theme to get your theme into theme chooser!!
Seems like a dirty version of the mixer theme...
Looks great. I like how it isn't overpowering yet you changed enough things that it sticks out in a clean detailed way.

Yes, I did borrow from Mixer, some from Urban, some from a cm6 mod in their hack forum called "colorized". I photoshopped up all the stuff that was still orange, to the blues on "Hue change" (dark blue is +175 and light blue is +155). I also had an old color icon pack on my computer Scramble that I took some from. And a few I just took the b/w versions, embossed them in photoshop, then changed them to RGB color and hue shifted them till i got the color I was looking for. Its not a unique work to be sure, but I think that its a nice blending of the many themes found here on XDA. I did add some noticeable "personalized" touches, like the zelda themed call screen and the bootanimation. I even snuck in some rings/notification sounds if you didnt notice. But overall Im happy with it.
Thank you for the feedback, im glad you are all finding it as useful as me.
Once the final revision of Cyanogen 7 releases, I am going to post up the template Im working from and a quick & dirty "how-to" so you guys can all tweak and modify it however you like.
Also, I spoke with the gentlemen that makes the mixer theme, and he pointed me to a site that is helping me get the 1% battery increments implemented so stay tuned for that!
Hi, this is a minor issue but it's starting to bug me.
Is there any way to change the color of the little check mark that appears when you select something?
On many of the apps that I use (but not all?) this check mark appears as a very light green color on a white background and is virtually invisible. I asked about it on a forum for one of the apps and was told that my phone must not be using standard android colors.
For example, on the Maps app that came with the phone, if I go to Settings and try to select something I will see the very light green color check mark. On the other hand, other apps, like the stock mail app, use a medium blue which is quite visible.
If I could get them all to use the blue that would be great. Changing the theme does not seem to affect the check mark.
Thanks!

This has been bugging me since I got XL.
My guess would be editing framework-res.apk
Just wanted to give this a bump in case somebody may have run across a solution. Thanks!
OP are you rooted? I thought you could change simple things like this inside framework-res.apk if you pull it from /system/framework.
If you open it using 7zip or winrar you should find the graphic in one of the drawable folders (i think the one youre after is called "drawable-xhdpi") which contain all of the graphics and icons that are displayed on your phone whenever you interact with it. Simply change the color of the check mark graphic to the color of your choice and reinsert it back where it was originally located within the zipped file. DO NOT UNZIP THE ENTIRE FILE! Just browse inside of it to modify the files inside so you don't break the files signature verification.
Back up your original framework file though as messing this up WILL result in bootloops. In fact, doing a nandroid couldnt hurt if you arent familiar with this.
Then just replace the original with your modified one.
Change your skin to matte in the personalization settings. It will change the checkmark to dark purple/black in MOST apps.

LOL much easier solution :thumbup:
Here's a picture of the display menu within the maps app after modifying the appropriate file in framework. MUCH more visible. I just did black for this example.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

This doesn't make any sense to me. Changing even one bit of a file will break a digital signature. Altering the color of a check mark will change many bits. So either the file is not signed, or the signature doesn't matter, or this won't work at all.
You must have unlocked bootloader of course. No signature check.

I tried this, and it only changed the check marks in Settings as far as I could tell. I checked 4 other apps including Twitter, Subsonic, and some others and they all still had the green check mark. Maybe I need to reboot?
I also just made a black check mark icon, and I'm going to try replacing the framework APK just as soon as my nandroid backup finishes.

Thanks. That's kind of what I meant. I was seriously out of it when I typed that originally. So yeah unlocked bootloader. Basically, so long as you don't decompress the original .apk and only swap files in and out from the COMPRESSED version, you should be good to go. Trying to use winrar or 7zip to recompile it will result in bootloops i promise
Sorry for the confusion.

What's actually kind of funny is I had the opposite problem. My check marks inside of the settings menu stayed green, but any check marks inside of apps are now the modified color.
Edit: nvm didn't read that right. I see you were referencing the other guy.

That does not work for me. I have been on the matte skin since I got my device. I don't see any dark purple or black checkmarks in any apps. Most of mine are the light (invisible) green, a few are a medium blue, which is decent. Are you sure there is not something else making your checkmarks black?
So I edited my framework-res.apk using drag&drop into 7zip without unzipping the file, as suggested. And then I did horrible things: I simply overwrote the file in /system/framework using Root Explorer. The phone immediately rebooted and won't boot now. Time to do a restore!
I guess I have to push the file using ADB while in Recovery/Fastboot? Or else make my own flashable zip? I'm definitely a modding noob.
Didn't back up the original huh? Sorry dude that sucks.
If you're comfortable with adb you can go that route but I have so far used the file manager function within TWRP to manually delete my old framework-res and the move the modified one to /system/framework. In order for you to be able to access the system partition you'll need to manually mount it using the mount function within recovery. Then go to advanced-->file manager and that should let you access up to root. Also, it never hurts to run fix permissions after changing something in the system directory.
This method is always easier for me since I'm not an expert with adb. That's strange you had problems though. The only time I've ever had bootloops was when I decompiled the .apk or changed the compression settings when replacing files inside of it. Hope you get it sorted out..

I had a backup in the form of nandroid. I also do have the file itself backed up, I just realized. I probably didn't need to do a restore. It's just that when my phone wouldn't boot I got scared and I wanted to make sure I could restore it!
I didn't realize how easy it is to fix permissions on a file in TWRP. I can run the batch command, and there is a permissions fixer in the file browser that just does chmod 755. It grants execute permissions as well as the other ones, but it's no big deal. Also, it's easy enough to change in Root Explorer once the system actually boots. Then you don't have to wait for the whole permissions fixer to run.

Thanks, I was just exploring this functionality. I forgot I had to manually mount system, so I was a bit confused why I couldn't see anything in there.
Hey, it just booted up with my modded file. Look at those nice, black check marks! The ones in Settings are still green. I guess they are using different resources, which explains why they changed when I changed skins, but none of the others did. I only changed the color of the "on" check mark, and not the "on disabled", or "on focused" ones, so they'll still be green. I don't really care if the check mark is green while I'm clicking the button, but I would like to change the disabled one.
Looking good sir. I was a bit worried my method was wrong or something. Good to see someone was able to get it done! :thumbup:
So if I flash a new rom, will I need to do this again?

Yes, unless you modify the rom before you flash it. Personally, I'm hoping to learn enough about flashable zips to make this idea into a flashable mod. At which point I'll fix all the icons.
Success! I have created a flashable zip that changes the check marks to black. I also created an Undo version that restores the original framework-res.apk.
If anyone would like to test it out, send me a PM. It only changes the "on" checkmark, but that's the only one you really need. In the future, I will fix the other icons. This is my first Android mod, so I don't want to release it publicly until at least a couple of people have tested it.
If it matters, the framework-res.apk which I changed is the one that comes with CleanROM 4.1 LE. I don't know if Scott modified the stock version in any way, and I don't know if other Sense roms have changed this file, so I can't gurantee that this APK is 100% compatible with roms other than CleanROM 4.1. I would need to download the other roms and compare their file with mine.
The MD5 of the original /system/framework/framework-res.apk is d6d3f7f3808dd7d01ba2dd11babd3b64. So if your APK has the same MD5 then this mod will work for you.
