Hello everyone! First thanks to everyone involved in rooting hacking deving modding whatevering the android systems! you guys are amazing!
Recently jmotyka started a theme for a20/a21 sense! So far the theme is amazing and getting better with every release. It can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656694
My favorite part of the theme is the font. And i KNOW that there will be MANY roms soon with all the dumps gettin released of late... SOOO... i really wanted to see if i could get this font to be useable with any sense rom.
I used root explorer to pull the /system/fonts folder from jmotyka's theme and after re-flashing my custom baked a21 rom used root explorer to overwrite the /system/fonts folder and this is my result!
Jmotyka's themed a21..........................................Stock a21

Stock a21 with /system/fonts replaced
ALMOST everything works beautiful (which is unbelievable in it'self to me) ACCEPT the notifications bar is missing date (left) time (right) notifications header (mid) and bold notification text (voicemail 255).
any help would be appreciated if someone knows how to fix this sort of issue relatively easily!
NOTE i use these live backgrounds "flying androids" and "plasma" because sense moves smoother on these than with a still jpeg due to the lack of scrolling!
I believe the missing boldness is caused by your fonts not supporting the Bold property. Tried another font?
I had a similar experience with CM.
For some reason I could only change the fonts of the same typeface one at a time.
If I changed DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf at the same time then I would get either all bold or all normal text. Never both.
However, if I change one font, reboot then change the other font I never have this problem. Strange.
This behaviour does not manifest itself when changing different typefaces.
thanks djmcnz im tryin that now
only moving the two files listed above with a reboot between fixed the date and time but everything else is still faulty... herumph

Bizarre! And I thought my experience was odd, yours is really crazy.
So your notification bar is perfect (contents and font)? But everything else is in normal instead of a mix of normal and bold? Is that correct?
And if you push the original fonts back does that fix it??? Might pay to start there... something else may have got screwed up (although I can't imagine what).
when i tried the above method everything was in the new font but the bold fonts just wouldnt show! maybe pushing them instead of using root explorer would do the trick! currently i just pushed the DroidSans.ttf which takes care of 90% of the fonts... but at least the bold show up though theyre the classic font!

And if you copy over the new bold font now then reboot what happens?
Root Explorer should be okay but I suspect you'll get a more consistent result with adb.
NB - try deleting or renaming the original before copying over the new i.e. don't "replace" the existing font.

Hi Everyone,
Here is my first (modded) live wallpaper, all thanks to britoso and obviously the original creator, We Like CAPS!

it works, but not perfectly. The background needs to be made tileable.
Things I had to do
1) uninstall the old apk.
adb uninstall -d com.kalicinscy.wallpaper.starfield
2) sign and then install this one.
adb install -r StarfieldLeopard.apk
3) enable "Background" in LWP settings.
Screenshot and apk attached.
edit: removed attachments.
thanks got it, when i have that working i will let you know. in the mean time can you check what happens if you put the full wallpaper in the assests/texture folder? maybe the width measurements i made on the first one was not adequate. Unless the exact measurements are coded in followed by making the image tilable. If that is the case, i will put some effort in to making a tilable version of the wall.
It might get really slow though!
click here
the file has to be renamed to starfield_04.png
I used the gimp's filters->map->make seamless tool and it helped a lot.
Its not perfect. Added a bluish version too.
edit: removed attachments.
thats awesome mate, i am a newbie here but already feeling good that senior guys are helping us out! You think you can recode the black stars to white though?
One final request bro,
>here<
is the final image i made using your gimp concept, it worked out well with a slight touch from ps cs4 , could you use this and attach the final apk for me.
Thanks
Below is a new colored icon aswell for the new starfieldlep edition!
All Done! ^Check the first post!! ^
can I check the source for problems?
really cool, i like this new bg than the original.
question, why are some star streaks black instead of white?
Are you finished working on this apk? I mean wallpaper.. The pictures are absolutely stunning. I dont have a N1 yet (42 more days till I do) and I could see this being a full-time wallpaper when I do get one.
I like this Live Wallpaper, but sometimes the app is closed with an error
is there any way that i can get the source so that i can work on errors in it?
Sorry guys for the late reply, but thanks, @samir5421 i downloaded the apk by googling as i have not rooted the n1, if you have a rooted version i am sure you can download the updated apk (starfield) from the market and fix the errors :S
I think the version I have downloaded was a pretty old build compared to the one that is up on the market right now. I am attaching the files I made changes to aswell as the original apk.
@cdmove, I am not actually any good with this, I am just a graphics designer and so i wish someone could get into the guts of this and change the black streaks to white as I have no knowledge on how to edit android resources yet.
>Wallpaper< assets/textures folder
>App Icon< res/drawable

ok thanks. ill see what i can do. it will still probably require the uninstall since its the same app
I have noticed, that it's static animation, not random is used

yup and also the stars start of as black [blending into the original bg(b/w)], and move to white, which actually makes sense as or else there would be too many white dots on the screen popping up at the same time, but if its possible to change the gradient from black to white to white to white we could judge it for ourselves.
any fix yet on the fc's? i really like how this looks!
stars with background really slow. maybe you can change the star's background color instead of use an image.
The keyboard on the Droid X has been released and modded to work on an EVO, and some other 2.1 devices.
I think it is a great KB, and will use it over the HTC KB, I like the space between each keys, the speed, and the multi-touch.
The KB looks simple and is very easy to type on, in fact it finally has the biggest feature I want on an android KB, it corrects commonly misspelled words, but does not display them, or suggest them. This feature is cool but IMO, adds clutter to typing. For example, when typing "heklo" on the the keyboard, it auto corrects it to "hello" without displaying words or suggesting them like on the HTC and Stock Android KB.
Now, the purpose of the post. The only thing that Would make this KB perfect for me is to change the background color behind the keys to a grey color, I provided an image with something that I would like using Paint.
I have never developed for android and have no idea how to do it, but if someone who knows how to do it, could simply open up the code of the app, and just change the background from white to a grey, that would be awesome.
Many people would prefer it IMO, and it is a better typing experience because the colors are different and the keys are more noticeable, making it easier to type more accurately.
I provided a screen shot to show what I was talking about, and the original .APK of the Droid X KB.
Any help is appreciated.
If someone could point me in the right direction in finding it, I would be more than happy too. I'm looking through it now, if i figure it out......... I will make a black one
Like I said I have no idea how to develop, but tried something out, maybe it can help you.
I use Astro (file explorer) and when I open it I click browse file.
click 5th option=res>drawable-land-hdpi>then down to keyboard_background.9
I copied that to my computer, edited the pic which was originally white, and then changed it to the grey I wanted, I then deleted the original file to the .APK and then copied the version I edited on their and tried to install it.
But when I went to install it, it says application can not be installed.
If someone could explain it to me, I know because I edited a key file in the app, It probobly won't work or install properly, but does the whole .apk have to be refinalized and ready to install with the change I made to install right?

You might just need to resign the .apk.. not 100% sure though, never did it.
How do you do that?

If I'm not mistaken, this keyboard FC on Froyo
I'll just post the apk. It's weird how the space button is having the shadow stretching thing going on...... maybe someone can lend a hand.
If you already have the multi touch keyboard installed- uninstall-then install this one-go to settings-then uncheck then recheck multi touch keyboard- change input method in text field
Thanks so much, its people like you that make this website what it is.
It's nothing. I realized, while texting someone, that the weird shadow is on the orginal keyboard too

OD - The Original Desire Look
No silly colors on the battery icon, or anywhere really - just the green/black STOCK Sense UI look, because it's awesome.
Tested on MoDaCo MCR r21
Haven't been able to find a Desire status bar morph that worked right on MCR 21 for one reason or another, like missing bars, or missing activity_title_bar.9.png, so I made my own out of a Desire ROM.
This morph will:
Give you the Desire's status bar/notifications
Desire Email Notification Icon for Gmail.apk
Desire SMS/MMS Notification Icons
Some custom Facebook notification icons I made, more contrast on a black status bar
ALL of the green...ness from Sense UI, along with some custom green...ness in some images that HTC themselves didn't change for Sense, weird right?
Some custom notification icons, KEEPING THE SENSE LOOK with the stock icon design (Google Talk, ADB)
This morph will not:
Give you Sense UI
Give you Sense UI dialog/popup SHAPES (they will however be the darker color). This is intentional, I think Sense UI's dialog shapes look tacky.
Give you those technicolor Sense UI settings icons, because they suck.
Fold your laundry
Walk the dog
I am responsible for:
Your phone looking awesome once you apply this morph
I am not responsible for:
Bricked phones
Ruined relationships
Enjoy. Please let me know if there are any bugs (that aren't Metamorph related). I changed the images here one by one on a need basis, so I might have missed something. Also, if you're using any STOCK applications that have black..ish status bar icons, let me know and I can change/add them to the morph.
HTC Sense LWP for Froyo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722203

0.1 - Initial Release
Known Issues:
Metamorph is a finicky little thing. Your phone will probably bootloop if you theme framework-res. Make a nandroid backup first.

Awesome job, exactly what i was looking for, thanks
think we could get a port for cyanogenmod6?
Finally! I too had problems finding one that worked. This is the first one I've found. Thank you! MCR r21.
Just a few things that are niggling me...the gmail theme has a 1px white border around it, is that supposed to be there? None of the other themes have it.
Secondly, the browser address bar isn't black yet every other bar is, is that meant to be like that?
Thanks
Hello dear people
how can I change the color of the clock and change of the date in the toolbar?
I have the nexus one, and the original rom (91)
greet and love ever thanks in advance
link is down..........
by the way.. this morph will change the clock text to white?? caz i using stock rom and it is black..
Link is not down. Text color will change when you apply the second part of the morph; it won't work on some ROMs, this is only tested on MCR r21.
THANK... download but not workin with LeoFroyo Rom...
Thanks it looks great, however when trying to apply it with CM6 I just get into a reboot loop and have to restore (I've tried twice now).
This is a simple HTC theme for STOCK ONLY. It changes a few icons (usb notifications, loading indicator, battery status), as well as a new lockscreen slider and wallpaper set.
How to install:
1. Download attached file. Copy to KF.
2. Use a file explorer (with root access, preferably Root Explorer) to navigate to /system/framework/
3. Mount /system as writable.
4. Paste the file in /system/framework
Your KF should restart. If not, manually do it.

Quite subtle but welcome changes, was expecting to get rid of the wooden shelves background for something more colorful. Though the wallpaper pack is great but could be assigned with an app on appstore doesn't change much. Replacing framework deleted my accounts and had to re-register emails,kindle,android store. Try to get orange gradient effect for loading bar in android market, the rotating gear is good.

Sorry about the registration thing. Didn't do it for me. Otherwise, I actually used the original images from my EVO that were accessible. The gear came from the internet. I would use higher resolution images but can't find them. For the shelves, we would need to extract the Launcher.apk, which I am planning on doing work with later. Same goes for systemui.apk. I would rather not pay $99 to put an app in the store when I could do it here for less and more easily.
I meant when installing and downloading an app from appstore the loading bar is blue in your theme I believe the orange goes more naturally with kindle fire rather than blue oscilloscope which you have included. Oh my! the battery Mod is fantastic try incorporating an orange circle one I tried finding but couldn't its visible in homescreen thread early posts.
kindle reebit.
Is the kindle suppose stay in a bootloop? Also I'm using stock 6.3 insecure Rom.
You were supposed to change permissions before moving framework-res apk into system/framework. The probable way is copying the framework file from this thread into system folder change permissions and than move and replace into system/framework/
Permissions
Is it going to be Chmod 644 or something else on root explorer?

Easy way check the permission of default framework-res.apk in system/framework/ and change the framework file from this thread accordingly.

my device does not boot anymore. can u help me please ? !!!
Changing permissions before moving the modded framework-res.apk is must.Seems like you missed it now
If you have a backup than restore it from twrp recovery or
Mount your system from twrp menu and push original framework-res.apk extracted from any stock Rom and Change permissions OR
Change permissions of resident franework-res apk file.
Type adb commands on mounting:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Hi everyone! This is my very first attempt at a theme and personally I found a lack of super simple themes so I decided to create a flat style theme for my device and just wanted to share it.
Along with the theme I have added a wallpaper and it was a picture that I took with the S7 itself a just last night in Downtown Toronto. Hope you guys like it! If I get good input I might try to make more and create advanced themes. The lock screen also has a snow effect kind of to represent the fall time is passing and winter is coming

Please leave a thanks if you liked it, and if you hated it, tell me why so I can improve it
P.S. I didn't change any of the icons, I am looking towards doing that for the next release, IF this gets good feed back
You're right, there aren't many simple themes. Theme store sucks a bit. When it comes to suggestions maybe you can change the tone of blue, make it a bit darker; and background grey a bit lighter. I like how you made the lines in phone app invisible, I hate them. I love the icons the way they are. Also, maybe you can change the yellow message buble.
And I was wondering if you encountered any problems with theme editor because when I render preview pictures some are glitchy.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be working on those changes then in the morning but I understand why you'd want the blue darker. The background I did kick it down a notch and made it a little off white but I can adjust that too. The yellow message bubble! Shoot forgot about the messaging app, personally I use Textra so I don't normally use the stock app.
As for the theme editor, I have had no problems running it at all actually, I just downloaded it today and it worked right after install. Are you sure your computer is up to date? Or maybe the theme editor needs a dependency like Java? Although it would normally point that out of that was the case. Are you using the one I linked above? It worked fine for me
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

I don't think themes are rom dependant. Actually I'm not sure if Samsung has support for Android N themes and such but it your device is a Samsung then go ahead and try it, it doesn't hurt to try
