[THEME] Infected (alpha) 12.15.09

This is my first theme. I thought it would be pretty fun to have a zombie theme on my Hero. It's built on top of Fresh 1.0.

Wow, that's some pretty awesome work!
I would love to know how to change the fonts and stuff for the hero.

Me too! I am a photoshop kind of guy. Hence the cool S2U2 stuff for WinMo. cause all that was was editing images, which i can handle... but all this signing, and actual code im at a loss. Where did you read up on making your theme? Maybe we can combine forces and crank out some really killer stuff. If you want to "check my resume" so to speak I used the same nickname at PPCGeeks, i was pretty into at one time, but i got banned from PPCGeeks, and switched to Android....

Look up Ratcom on here. His sig has the tutorials that got me started (its a bit confusing at first).
From what I can tell, to edit anything that isn't an image, its located in an XML file. The odd thing is that even Dreamweaver couldn't open the code correctly...
I'd be all for teaming up. My schedule is a bit crazy atm (finals week) but then I go on Xmas break and i'd love to do more with this theme. I've already got a couple more ideas...

Themes require NO coding. Purely PNG editing. You can open a ROM using a ZIP program (I like WinRar myself). All you do is find the image you want to edit, edit it, and overwrite the existing one.
Signing is very straightforward too, just follow the Ratcom links. You'll find a working mirror and instruction.

XML files located inside of an APK are effectively compiled, there's no way to edit / repackage them. You can Google search, there's a java "printer" which will convert them to TXT. But to change any of these, you've gotta start from the source code, make the changes and then compile the entire APK.
I could be wrong on this, but I believe HTC has released the GSM code but not CDMA. In this case we're stuck or would have to pull a compiled XML from a known GSM source. Actual ROM chefs can correct me.

So, since we are finally getting some stickies posted around here. A Theme creation write up would be a good idea if anyone wanted to take it on. I've never done it, I'm sure I am capable, just to lazy.
BTW. This looks good. Anyone test with Fresh 1.0? Most themes seem to have issues.

nice,sumthin different
i think u guys should bump heads,both of you have great ideas n skillz to pull off a hott theme..good luck n keep up the good work!!
XDA RULEZZ!!

There already is, and riotkid found it. Look up Ratcom (check GSM Hero themes) and the link in his sig. He's got links to everything you need to know.

Haha awesome work! I love it.
Edit: Your taskbar is missing a bunch of the new icons. I assume you applied a different lock screen or something, right? Because vibrate, battery, and alarm are all new icons in fresh 1.0 but yours are the stock ones.

I built it on fresh 1.0 so aside from the different icons that fresh mentioned, I haven't seen any.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not terribly sure when it happened either. Probably when I flashed one of the themes for .07...I need to re-flash and rebuild stuff.

Looks interesting. Make one with an Android mascot and maybe I would flash it I'm assuming to do that you are modifying the images in the HtcLockscreen.apk file or one of the frameworks files?

Definitely interested here. Same as above though...I assume the background could be changed via standard method built into the phone?

ooo good call, i 2nd that request!

Man... I Like better its crazy hot.... it would be awsome with the Android mascot

I suggest you zip and release them as-is, and tell folks how to change the image themselves
Personally I really dig the last one, and would use it.

I concur with the above -- I've been looking for a good lockscreen replacement, and yours with the Android mascot instead of the lock would be absolutely amazing (especially the last one)

I like the 2nd one in the pic ... one with clock over the lock ... can we erase that SPRINT ... haha

how about small android on the bottom of the lockscreen remove time and put iwhat? on top of his head ala someones avatar

Actually I think you can remove the sprint. Edit your build.prop. shouldn't break anything but I never tried.

Awesome work...the third grey android is the one on my lockscreen now and it's perfect!

Awesome screens. They look really good!
I assigned a lockscreen wallpaper before applying this so it is no longer clear. Is their anyway to remove the wallpaper?

Thanks for the update!

Remove Home Screen Page Backgrounds?

Would it be possible to remove the transparent background from each of the pages of the home screen when zoomed out in the Sense UI?
To see what I mean, look at the outline behind the icons/widgets of each screen in the following picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This guy hacked the notifications bar to be transparent for the Sense UI, so I was thinking something like this might be possible too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5719453#post5719453

Good idea. Seems to be possible, I like the idea anyway.

If it is anything like in Launcher2.apk then it is just an image that is used as the background and can be easily made transparent. The only image I saw in Rosie.apk that could be it was thumbnail_panel.png in drawable-normal-port-hdpi. I have included a Rosie.apk (actually Rosie.zip in the attachment but rename to .apk) with that image made transparent so that you can try it out. I haven't actually flashed any of the Sense UI ROMs for the nexus yet, and probably won't unless I get really bored, but I did dig around its images for theme-ing purposes and figured I would check to see if what you wanted was easily doable.
install with
Code:
adb remount
adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk
You should first back up your current Rosie.apk so that if this doesn't work, then you can go back to normal.
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Rosie.apk . (period denotes your working directory)
Edit: Also, this isn't really development related, it would go better in the themes section.

I'm surprised that worked. The image was the only that looked like it could work, but it was huge and not a .9.png. Huge like 480x762.
It worked which is what counts

Wow, why would you want this o_0
People have weird personal preferences lol
*don't take this post offensively please, but this is a rather odd thing to want to remove.. or even care about at all actually*

I said don't take the post offensively cause it wasn't meant to be an offensive post, I was looking for you to simply explain why you want something as minor as this removed. I wasn't directly meaning calling you "weird", but it seems I'm a douchebag (lol) for asking a question. I don't exactly see why you got so bothered by this. Quite funny to me, actually.

Bump to see if you could modify it for the lastest rom? A17?

[Request] Clear lockscreen w/ rain drops on glass look.

Hey guys, i just wanted to see if anyone was up for the task of trying out somthing i would really love to see on my phone. I love the rain and rainy days and I would love to have a clear lockscreen that looks like it has a dew-ie like look to it. Anyone think that would be possible?
For clarification:
The look im going for is how your window looks like on a rainy day^^

This would be neat. I would have to learn how to make lockscreens. My new task.

this is what ive got so far, I need to adjust the colors a little but this is actually kind of tough because water is clear so I will work on it a little more when I get home tonight but feel free to try it out it's for 2.1 and flash it just like regular
this has to include the com.htc.resources so if you have any mods to your taskbar then this will change some of the icons.
I am not responsable if you mess up you mess up your phone.

I dont understand, why would that mess with com.htc.resources.apk when lockscreen_topedge.png is in HtcLockScreen.apk? That should be the only file you're messing with.

Because to get a completely clear lock you have to modify lockscreen_archglass_top, lockscreen_archglass_bottom, and I think its called lockbar.png which are all located in the com.htc.resources.apk otherwise you still get the bar/arch (depending on if you use espresso or regular rose) across the lockscreen

Couldn't you just make this in photoshop with a transparent bg, stick it in your drawable folder in framework and push framework without editing anything else?

In 1.5 this was the case as all the images where stored in htclockscreen.apk>res>drawable 320x480 however in 21 they spread the png's for everything all over the place. That's why to get it completely clear you have to edit files in com.htc.resources.apk also because of the way 2.1 is set up it took like 2 weeks to figure out how to do it because the xml code had to be edited. If you think I'm wrong do it yourself the way you think. I was just trying to be helpful

Looks damn near spot on what i was imagining! wow good job! Hopefully we could get some other people's takes on it too.
Oh oh oh i just thought of it. how about the animation on a rainy day for the weather widget (not the actual animation, just the image it pops out). That look is perfect too, just without the windshield wiper.

Question, the lockscreen you made is just overlapping on a previous lockscreen picture i had before, how do i clear that one up?

if you where using a jpg or something like that then you need to go in and clear the lockscreen cache by doing this is adb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /data/misc/lockscreen
rm *
cd /system/customize/resource
rm htc_wallpaper*
exit
then go in and flash the clear lockscreen

Here's my take on it, using the Rotary Lockscreen:

Rainy Day Wallpaper Rotary Lock
Here is a link to a MetaMorph for applying the "rainy day" wallpaper to the rotary lockscreen (textless version). I do NOT plan any making any other versions / iterations of this lockscreen, however, if you like this as is, please feel free to use / enjoy. This should be compatible with any 2.1 based Sprint ROM that has been deodexed.
XML Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph application
Your phone may freeze when applying, and when coming back up, the MetaMorph may not have fully applied. If this is the case, re-run MetaMorph, and select the 'framework-res' sub-theme, apply, and reboot.
Initial boot will take a while as your cache is rebuilt.

I've never gotten the backgrounds to stick. That's why if u notice on both of my themes I post the wallpaper for people to download and use.

The lockscreen wallpaper is controlled by the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in the res folder. You have to change the background line to reference the jpg. Go grab the one that JsChisurf made up.

cause that has to be renamed or deleted or u will not be able to see anything but that lockscreen type. remember this is a modified version of flipz vanilla lockscreen and to get it to work the htc version must not be there. so the two options are to either delete or rename. If u install flipz flahable zip for the initial vanilla lockscreen it will delete it for you.
