[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.
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...

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.

New rosie buttons(2.1 sense ONLY)-no recovery required-in seconds!

omg, almost forgot, this is ONLY for 2.1 sense
you can view the Rosie.thm in notepad, all the commands seem to be there, i dont know if you can edit it and resave it as a .thm, so i dont know if you can make this work on 1.5. why not give it a try?
so i started messing around with metamorph, and i came out with this, and actually kinda like it.
its really easy to install
download the zip to anywhere on your sd card
download and install "metamorph" from the market
start meta, let it run its check (for root acess and the like)
then click on pick theme, navigate to the zip you downloaded, let it install (5s tops) and now you have a new espresso rosie! the blocks expand when you press them!!
future releases? any ideas? suggestions? requests?
this was built off of one someone posted a looong time ago, if you see this and wanna PM with your name and a link, ill gladly give credit!
this is my first mod ever, i know its lame, but im working on it, ok?
anyone have a strip down of the status bar? ill have fuuun with that one!!!!!!!
the best part of metamorph is, the fact that it only affects the files you tell it too. for example, most mods include an edit to the status bar AND rosie, because their both connected somehow. but with meta, theres no update signing or anything, its just putting in the right commands and images, and no need to boot recovery!!
i hope you enjoy!!

know where i can get a status bar strip down? maybe...themes thread?!
ahaha im going to get this thread closed again im so excited
...after i change my pants, i just wet myself a little
try it out and tell me what you think!

Tested and working. I see potential in this. Anyway you might share what you edited in the rosie.thm? Are there other modifications we could do?
Regardless thanks!

like i said, this is built off something someone else posted. i know you can view the .thm in notepad, i dont know if you can save, but i do see the commands, and a little research im sure i could get it down.
this is what the current thm says, i didnt touch it
Sense 2.1
any
Rosie.apk
/system/app/
i think its commands for meta, right?
telling it ot make sure we're running Sense, and 2.1
any version (the post i found this in mentioned you could do this in any 2.1 sense rom)
telling ot to push rosie to /system/app/
i think meta takes care of the rest. you just have to know what your running, what your pushing, and where your pushing it too...saves the hassle of signing and flashing an update, and COMPLETELY avoids the use of ADB
thank god,i never understood that

Not 100% worded correctly.
Rosie is the apk that will be edited, and it's located in /system/app
In the folder along with the scriptare folders that show the path inside the apk, and the files that will replace the existing ones. The script tells metamorph where to copy/replace the files in the folders to.

ahhhhhhh, so in theory....ifbwe ever found the correct xml file that sets the.params for the trackball, we could just meta it in....hint hint...
i know that made no sense.
we should gtalk about that, though...

Unfortunately the xml files are coded/in binary
So even if you uncode them with that one XMLS blah blah .jar,
you shill wouldn't be able to make it work on the phone....
IDK i'm probably wrong though. Probably WAY more in depth than that.

really cool! is it me or is the right design slightly off center compared to the left design?

links down i believe

Can someone mirror this? The rapidshare link reached it's download limit, and I REALLY want this!!!

Fair enough on the section... even though it's compiled rather than a theme... I could have put it elsewhere. The mods are pretty friendly round here though, so no harm no foul.
Didn't mean to step on your territory either... I couldn't find a morph for 5.0.7 that didn't break services.jar. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. I take no creative credit, nor do I intend to maintain, I just thought it filled a gap. Perhaps I was wrong. If this is the case the mods can delete.

no problem with your edit (i edit my service.jar manual by decompling it)
but just use correct section.
I think aso you can made a metamorph file for easy install.

Excellent, thanks for the update!

It's be awesome if pershoot would combine this + 15 apps + invisible lock screen + custom message.
=D

can this be flashed via recovery?
or do i have to push the 2 files to the appropriate places via ADB?
thanks in advance
EDIT: had to push the 2 files using ADB; works great, using it on nightly from yesterday

Nice, been looking for just the bar.
Ok, stupid question time, I have adb set up on my laptop, but the power cord is fried, need to wait for the replacement to come in. Could I just use root explorer to copy the files over? I'm guessing I'd need to mount r/w first though.

You can use root explorer after mounting /system as rw yes (do this with root explorer). Copy the files as in post #1 and reboot.

Bug
This causes the market to FC every time it tries to install anything.
I've wiped and reflashed cyan 507 t2 and all is ok. as soon as i push servicer.jar and the framework-res.apk it causes market to FC when it tries to install...

Using Root Explorer kept putting me in a boot loop, the phone reboots as soon as I try to replace the framework-res file. I threw adb on my store's pc, got it working just fine that way, thanks for this.
@adam, go to settings -> applications -> Manage applications and go to Market. Uninstall updates, and everything should work fine.

I got everything updated and running, but performance took a nosedive. Are the PNGs in this optimized?

Yes, colours, depth, size and transparency. In fact they're better optimised than the stock images. This was just a stop-gap until somebody releases a 5.0.7 morph or theme though.

it would be baller if this was added to the 15 recent app/invisible lockscreen mod from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=396

[MOD] Remove Text From Home Screen and/or App Drawer Icons (Rosie) - Fresh 2.1.2

It has been referenced that there are alternative home launchers (ADW) that enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screens. The question was posed as to whether or not the same could be done with our stock Rosie, and via a few strategic edits, it can.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen, while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk, any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.
Reference:

EDIT: Additional mod added below, based on request, for applying the same edit to the icons in the app drawer.
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk, any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.

The Launchers (Helix, ADW, LauncherPro) don't do it on the Widgets either. If it can be done though I'm sure JsChiSurf can do it. /endofasskissing

Funny you ask, but you might want to pucker up .
In trying to figure out the mod posted, I actually accidentally did exactly what you are asking, but didn't think there would be much use for it, since there are a lot more apps in the drawer, and it may be difficult remembering what they are without the text.

i would also like it with out txt in the app drawer. But I'm using Darchdroid with AWD Launcher. Will it work?

Okay, the first post has been modified to include another MetaMorph for removing the text from the app drawer icons. It is separate / independent of the home screen mod. I personally think it is a little confusing / difficult to easily figure out what is what, but to each his own!
Reference:

Modified it to fit my theme figured I would share it

This looks great. I would love to use it but I don't know much about Metamorph. I have read some of the links that explains what it is,how to use it, and You-tube links where the creators explain stuff and still feel unsure as what to do exactly. My brain really doesn't work well reading stuff, I am more the kind that has to watch and see somebody do it to really get it.
Is there an idiot guide for metamorphing out there? Or somebody willing to walk me through it? The good thing is that when I learn it I don't have to ask again...

Being an end user of MM, it is really as simple as downloading the free app from the market, dropping the download link in the OP onto your SD card (in the AndroidThemes folder preferably), and applying with the MM application.

Sounds simple enough. Will give it a shot later.
Thanks.

To JsChiSurf:
I've applied two of your mods successfully (I'm a big fan). I have been using your "Vanilla Lockscreen WITHOUT Sprint/Time/Date text" and your "Remove 'End Call' Soft Key While Call is in Progress & Vibrate on Connect" for a while.
However, yesturday I applied 3 more of your mods: the "Remove Battery & Clock from Taskbar", the "Remove Text From Home Screen (Rosie)" and your "Android 2.0 Style Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen Clear Version" and I'm now having problems.
8-10 times today without warning, my phone completely shuts down. I go to check my phone or make a call, and as I attempt to clear the lock screen to get to home I find the whole dang phone has turned itself off. I attempt press the 'on' button -- doesn't work, requiring me to pull the battery to reboot (which then works fine). Big problem, as I have missed several work calls. I even put the phone on the charger, and returned later to find it had shut off. Battery temp and life are completely fine.
I ask, not to offend you, but only to ask if you have heard of this happening with any of your mods? I have nandroid'ed back to pre-mod and I am still having this happen. I had no problems prior to the 3 new mods yesturday. Do you maybe have any suggestions?
All the mods were applied successfully and I was very, very happy with their appearance and your awesome work. Could any of these mods maybe be incompatible with each other? Incompatible with Flips 2.1 version 1 ROM?

Modifying com.htc.resource.apk

Alright I'm having a little bit of an issue -- hopefully someone can help. I'm trying to modify the usb plugged/unplugged icon and the 'clear' button, as well as the signal strength icons. The goal is to get the notification bar looking like stock android. Is there a method of going about this that I'm missing? I'm sure it's going to be something in the xml and I've apktool'd the apk and the framework-res.apk -- but I'm hardpressed to find the references, anyone able to help?
Thanks!

What are you talking about? It's nothing but swapping out PNGs or editing them to fit your needs. The only things you even need to touch are going to be in the drawable folders.
Don't touch the XML... just don't.

I think he is talking about the location of the png he is looking for.
The USB, I dunno, i cant find it either. not in htc-res. prolly in another apk.
signal strength icons are in there (htc-res). cdma_sys_6signal_0.png through cdma_sys_6signal_null.png (as in 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,null)
Clear button? On the notification drop down? I believe that is a generic button that resides in framework-res.

uh, so, let's take the USB icon plugged/unplugged for example.
that should be stat_sys_data_usb.png in framework-res.apk, correct? That, for example, in my framework-res.apk that's sitting in /system/framework, is the default android AOSP icon for USB. When I'm using my phone, it's the HTC one with the black background.
Like I said, maybe I'm missing something, but any help is appreciated.

I believe most of the pngs for the taskbar are located in the htc.com.resource.apk or whatever.
It's been a bit since I've messed with taskbar icons, but, I'll check in a bit.

I think I might be onto something, I think it's actually going to be in PCSCII.apk -- since HTC has their own sync handling.

Yup. That was it. confused the **** out of me because I knew I had updated the one in framework-res. POS HTC apps sometimes..sorry for the bugging there.

thanks for finding it!
I have been looking but got busy. Nice find.
Now find the status_bar_shadow.9.png equivalent in sense and I'll give you a virtual high five!

Yep. USB_to_PC_Notify

I was trying to remove the battery from the notification area completely. I found the pngs in the framework or com.resource apk (dont recall which). And of course the battery dissappeared. However, it left the space blank, the other icons like signal strength, gps, etc, did not move over. Anyone know how to fix it so the other icons will shift over to the right where the battery was?
On a side note, i removed the gps disabled icon, and other icons move over into its place. So there must be something more involved in the damn battery icons.
thanks

I'm almost positive that services.jar has some impact on the battery in the notifications bar. Once I get the Clear button sorted out, I'll be happy. I think I know which image that one is as well - I'll have to **** with it next week though, need the phone stable while I'm out of the country

Hey Afflaq, would you mind posting screenshots of whatever you're workign on when finished? I like theming, and I'd probably get inspired by some of it.

well, most of what I have is courtesy of MrPuffin's awesome work with the AOSP stuff (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710162) - I've just been trying to tweak whatever's left as well as the stock apps, I want my UI to look and feel as much like AOSP as possible. If I had my choice, I'd be running CM6, but the inability to keep my PRL up to date as well as the battery life savings of baked snack are keeping me on 2.1 for now.
Here's what I have currently.

But why not? Replacing images isn't enough in many cases.

It was done on the Hero HERE. Perhaps you can figure out how they did those removal mods and make them for the EVO.
