This looks and feels so much better!
How did you replace the battery icon with the 100 hexagon-looking thing?
Thanks for this. Would it be possible to have the red highlights green with the hexagon battery bar? Thank you

If you follow the instructions properly you will not have any problems. If you want your phone back to it's stock look, just keep a copy of the original framework-res.apk file. Put the original back on your phone and then reset your phone to factory by using the reset.

Without a safe recovery or sbf, I do not want to mess with the services.jar file to make the clock white. For now this is the safest mod for the statusbar in my opinion. I'm glad you like it

soooo i was doing the code in terminal emulator on the phone annnd after the first line after su of course i made a typo and the phone rebooted automatically and started up. the new status bar was there even though i didn't finish the last two lines and it froze when i tried to unlock it but after a battery pull everything seems to be working fine and i have the new statusbar. should i be worried?

It will reboot after you replace the framework-res.apk file automatically on most phones depending on how many mods you have done. Mine does not reboot so I have to type reboot. It should be rebooted after the framework is messed with so do not be alarmed about that. It is very important that you do not make any typos! You will put your phone in a boot loop if you mess this up. So please be very careful when doing this mod....

Alright everyone, time for the Swype theme mania to gain some momentum once again! I have FINALLY figured out a way to theme our beloved Swype keyboard without violating Swype and XDA policies, while still making it a reasonable effort on your part. If you want these themes bad enough, I will include a tutorial here in the OP for you guys, as well as screenshots for each step of the way. I will create a Picasa album with the pictures in order from start to finish.
First off, here's the instructions to theme Swype with Metamorph, a free application on the Android Market.
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
QR Code for Metamorph at the Market
You have to be rooted for this to work, obviously. If you don't have root, then you have some learnin to do, but there are many users here on XDA who have simplified the process.
If your Swype apk is located in the /system/app/ folder to begin with, you do not have to move anything anywhere for this Metamorph to work for you.
Ok, there are two ways to approach this first step.
Picasa Album step by step: http://picasaweb.google.com/hoey2011/SwypeMetamorphTutorial
(Picasa Album photos #1-7)
One, is by using a paid application on the Market called Root Explorer. There are places to find it for free I'm sure, but I will not be responsible for that If this is not an option for you, then skip this portion, and head on to the Terminal Method section, or, if you use adb frequently, go to that section.
If you have this app, then open it, and navigate to the /data/app/ folder, where you will find the Swype .apk (com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk).
Long press this file and select copy. Press back twice, then navigate to /system/app/
Before you do anything, press the "R/W" button at the top. Then press the paste button located at the bottom left corner of the Root Explorer window. Change the system back to read only by pressing the "R/O" button.
--------------------------------------------
TERMINAL METHOD (Picasa Photos #8-15)
--------------------------------------------
Ok guys, if you don't have the option of using Root Explorer, I have the manual instructions on how to perform these steps, for those of you who don't already know how to do this.
Open your terminal emulator application, whichever one you prefer will work just fine.
Type these lines in order:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 system
cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/
ls /system/app/
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync
The "ls /system/app" line is to verify it copied correctly, as I have shown in my Picasa album
Then exit out of the terminal app, and continue on to the next section
======================
ADB METHOD
======================
Open cmd.exe on your computer, or the terminal you use for w/e OS you have on your computer.
Navigate to your sdk/tools/ folder and type this:
adb remount
adb shell cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/
if you are implementing a2sd, then replace /data/ with /sd-ext/
The file is now in the correct place, continue on
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Picasa photos #16-21)
Navigate to Metamorph, and follow all prompts to ensure it is running correctly. If it is not, then you need to go to the Metamorph thread to troubleshoot your problem.
Select extract/unzip new theme
Select your theme, which in this tutorial will be NakedSwype.zip
From there you will select apply all themes, and allow Metamorph to work it's magic. Go to a text field and long press to bring up the Select Input Method window. Boom, themed Swype!
=============================================

HTC Swype
http://www.4shared.com/file/5y0Ck_BT/HTCSwype.html
=============================================
I will be adding more Morphs for the Swype beta asap
The reason you have to move Swype to the /system/app/ location is because when metamorph themes apps located in /data/app/ there is some sort of recognition problem beyond my understanding. If you are running a rom using A2SD like I am, just move it to internal storage temporarily for this theme method. In order to do that, follow the same instructions above, but replace /data/app/ with /sd-ext/app/ .
Any problems, just post a logcat and a detailed description of what's happening. If you apply this metamorph incorrectly, or try and modify it to work any other way, and lose Swype, NOT MY FAULT!
If you try this theme, and it just doesn't apply, then try cleaning out cache and dalvik-cache to give yourself enough space on /system/ to copy the files over. sometimes multiple attempts will even work
do we just install via root explorer or astro? because i was able to install but i dont have swype. or do i have to install that somewhere else?
hoey2011 said:
Ok, so when my Swype trial expired, I started looking for another working version like I was tryin to score a rock. But... my searches were fruitful, as I found a working version for both my friend and I, on my G1 and his Hero(CDMA). I will post the Non-Themed version for everyone as well as the Black/Blue theme I have.
Also, how to theme this version of Swype, although I've never tried on the other versions:
-Extract the apk onto your computer
-Navigate to /assets/keyboards/
-Theme these files as usual, thankfully none of theme are .9.png files
-Recompile the apk, resign, and install as usual.
No root should be required for this, but I posted this in development in case some ROM builders might want to integrate this marvelous keyboard in their own fashion!

screenshot?
tried installing thru adb & root explorer on supereclair 2.1..it wont install
Ok, "it won't install" isn't very specific. I don't know enough about Android to put together my own whole ROM, but I do know that logcats are EXTREMELY helpful. So, if you could either tell me the dialogue you get when "it won't install" or give me a logcat, I might be able to help you. Otherwise, please don't tell me it just won't work =/
Pretty sure you'll have to uninstall swype before installing this one. I've had trouble in the past installing swype while it was already installed.

Hm... instead of trying to just plain install this one, try installing it in /system/app, not /data/app.
This is how I do it:
From CMD -
1. adb shell
2. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
3. cp /sdcard/BlackSwype.apk /system/app/com.swype.inputmethod.android.apk
4. mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
5. sync
6. reboot
I will leave more information in the OP about my setup. You can also do this in terminal for you root users.

(100th post woo hooo!!)
Any chance you can theme it like the new Swype keyboard on the Mytouch Slide? I think its called black glass.
I will look into it now, see what I have to do to get it made up... could you point me in the direction of a screenshot or anything that would be helpful?

I'm still not entirely sure what it is you were having trouble with, but under to edit transparent .png's I use Photoshop. I'm sure there is a free image editor that will do the same thing. Personally, I love Photoshop because its so easy. I got mine free anyhow ^_^
*****THIS IS FOR 2.1 ONLY*****
*****YOU MUST BE ROOTED*****
This will theme well over 90% of everything you see that has to do with the android os and blur if its still there.
Download my files here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=59KOD7MS
By downloading this you agree to take full responsibility for the actions you are about to preform.
Original files if needed http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0RNAMSQ3
If you have kousch's recovery installed, make a back up, if not use root explorer and make a back up of the following file.
/system/framework/blur-res.apk
download the other original system files here
Sorry no MM method only terminal emulator, so you have to suffer through typing about 10 lines of commands....
Unzip the entire contents onto your sdcard
open terminal emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
your phone will auto reboot. If you havent already applied a changed services or framework the boot animation will take a long time. If it by chance freezes, or does the boot sound but never shows the screen do a battery pull.
Once your phone reboots you will see a new lock screen and dark status bar with white font, if this is not the case you need to redo the steps above.
If you have root explorer, long press on the /system folder choose permissions. Make note of what permissions are set, grant everything permission for now. Change this back when your done. Failure to do so may cause an apk to not apply.
If you prefer you can reboot after each line command by simply typing reboot and hitting enter, just to make sure it boots clean, but its really not needed.
Put capitol letters when seen!!!! failure will cause duplicate applications!!!
Dont apply anything blur you deleted and dont want on your phone.
In terminal emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurCalendar.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurContacts.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/BlurHome.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Browser.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Gallery3D.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app
this one goes to new directory so pay attention, dont get type happy
cp /sdcard/blur-res.apk /system/framework
now type reboot and hit enter
phone may or may not have an extended boot.
If you use handcent and want it themed, uninstall your old one
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/com.handcent.nextsms.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

I learned a lot from looking at how everyone else themed to get ideas for mine.
all images came from google searches. Then edited as needed.
reserved for me
please wait... an operator will be with you shortly...
Whens the download going to be up?
Ok. Now that i reverted to stock i can't get my themed google maps to install.... sucks. Also my themed launcher pro keeps my registation code. So if i release that its stealing. I will work on these two tonight and see what i can do.
Either way, a dl will be posted in the morning.
Sorry

This is the stock Droid2 System and Framework files deodexed and zip aligned. This first of two packages that contains my Black (HTC) Status Bar Theme that looks like this. The next package will be the stock Droid2 deodexed and zip aliagned with stock status bar.

( Picture from my Droid2 Theme for Droid 1. Status bar is exactly the same. Too lazy to update pic )
It contains all original Droid2 files so if you have renamed or removed files it will replace them. This includes all Droid2 widgets and bloatware. If you have removed or renamed files then you can rename or remove the files from the app folder you placed on your memory card so you do not have to go back after install to clean up.
A couple of apk files have been modified so the status icon matches status bar better. I still need to fix up a few more apk files and will post them as an update.zip file.
I will have a update.zip file soon so it can be installed with clockwork. If you would like to test it for me please message me to let me know.
Root Privilege:
You must have Root Access to install the files.
Check this thread and this thread on how to root your phone.
ADB:
You also need to have The Android SDK installed so you can use adb commands.
Clockwork Recovery:
Download from Android Market or check here and make donation after you download.

Go with the command line for now. Having adb will be better in the long run and have to figure out how to write a script for update.zip to delete all the odex files when installing from clockwork.
If I've already deodexed, would I still need the script to remove the *.odex files?
I think its worth noting that your phone needs to be in PC Mode when plugging it in, with debugging on. If your in mass storage, it won't work because adb won't be able to access the sdcard while its mounted on the computer. These commands should also work via Android Terminal, although I imagine it's easier copying and pasting with a mouse and keyboard.
I know this may be obvious to some, but when you have people not knowing what they're doing in the first place, they assume that certain instructions were omitted intentionally.

It isn't a good idea to try installing system files from the phone especially in terminal when there is a "stop" command because this will hault the GUI and the system so you'd be stuck.
Please stick to ADB for this at least. A strong suggestion.

Yep, thanks to you. I had issues getting the Deodex tool to work properly on my W7 64 bit machine. This file made life easier.
Someone just upped a D1 theme in the Theme and Apps subforum. Shouldn't I be able to replace the .apks from your file with those? (I'm trying to get the stock Android icons back for browser, music, dialer, sms, and calendar)

Questions:
1. Could you explain the Mount line?
2. When you "rm" the odex files what happens. I mean have you done something to the associated .apx files?
If not, does that mean I could just use these commands and remove my .odex files and I would be what is called deodex'ed?
3. What is the benefit of de oxed' ing?
I am keeping an text file with abd instructions for different categories and do not understand some of the commands like the mount line that is the same in most of the procedures.
I have been googleing around trying to find a tutorial or lesson plan for adb and keep bookmarks on sites I find. Most of the info on the net that I find, you can get by typing adb help. That is fine, except it does not really explain what the commands mean or do.
Understand you are busy man, so if you do not have time for this, I'll understand. I am retired and have nothing else to do. Ha!
This is probably more information than you wanted to know, but you seem to be interested in learning so...

This line mounts the /system partition in read-write instead of the default read-only. In linux, hardware has special device files that are housed in the /dev/ directory. These devices get "mounted" for use to a mount point which usually has a nice, human-readable name. In this case, "/system". The "-t ext3" part defines the file system type. Typical linux file systems are ext2 and ext3. Winblows file systems are things like FAT32 and NTFS.
So, the command spelled out is something like this: remount in read-write mode the block device at "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21" to the mount point "/system" using the file system type "ext3".
2. When you "rm" the odex files what happens. I mean have you done something to the associated .apx files?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes something has been done. Deodexing is a lengthy process that, in part, converts the .odex files back to .dex files and reincorporates that data back into the associated .apk file. This is necessary for theme creation and some other kinds of development. The .odex files tend to prevent modification of .apk's, which is required for things like themes. The default .apk's are also signed zip files with a signature to prevent against tampering. In other words, although you can rename an .apk to .zip and extract it, you can't decompress an .apk, modify its contents (change an image or icon, for example) and then recompress without some consequences. Deodexing removes the signature stuff, making it far easier for developers to get at the guts of the content within the .apks.
If not, does that mean I could just use these commands and remove my .odex files and I would be what is called deodex'ed?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. Simply removing the .odex files without replacing the .apk's with modified (deodexed) versions would leave you with non-functioning applications. The .odex files contain code that has been removed from the .apk files by developers in an effort to compress data and speed up the initial boot process.
Basically, when you phone boots for the first time, a lot of information is being decompressed into the /data directory for easy, quick access. The .odex files help streamline this process. With their data reincorporated into the .apk's, booting takes longer, but the benefits, like themes and other fixes that probably won't ever be available to non-deodexed phones, usually far outweigh the drawbacks.
3. What is the benefit of de oxed' ing?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For now, the ability to install custom themes is the main benefit. However, community developers are often able to provide fixes to problems on deodexed phones that the official devs will not, like the HTC Hero's stock lock screen issues.
If you're interested in learning more about adb, you will probably want to swan dive into some linux documentation. Without a linux background, the adb stuff will seem pretty foreign. I'd include links to some sources, but I'm new here and that's been restricted.

All that is themed in launcher pro are the icons when you long home press the home screen. So Shortcuts, Widgets, Folders and Wallpapers are using the same icons as Blur Home. Also the people and phone icons have been replaced to match the blur icons when you are using the default icons.

He took the words right out of my mouth
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the info. Linux huh, guess I will dive right in. My background is Basic, FORTRAN, COBAL AND Visual Basic for Apps (Excel only). I quit trying to keep up with Visual Basic because Object Oriented Programming was really starting to irritate me. I was fairly good in DOS back in the day. These adb commands remind me of DOS, so hopefully I will catch on and understand.
At least in the olden days you got a manual to explain the commands with some examples.
Anyway, Thank you. I will start Googleinh Linux.
Found this site and I am in pig heaven. Thanks again, things are starting to make sense, from the "old days perspective".

NEW CUSTOM ROM Here!!!
Hi. I have modified the "framework-res.apk" file in the system folder.
When downloaded, rename file to "framework-res.apk"
This is without the "twframework-res.apk MOD.
My "twframework-res.apk" only modifies the notification bar!
{

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is with my "twframework-res.apk" and "framework-res.apk"
Note. My Screen Density is 100.
Screen Density at Normal 120.
What Changes (framework-res.apk):
Battery
RF Icons
Wifi Icons
GPS Icons
Download Strip
Selection Press
Power Menu Color
Default Background
Vibrate/Silent Icons
Menu Background Color
Menu Popup Text Color!
Text Box Shape (Rounded Edges)
Notification Boxes (Top is Sharp Edged)
Lock Screen Pattern Colors (Blue and Red)
What Changes (twframework-res.apk):
Everything in the Notification Bar (Drop Down)
Bugs:
Extra space at the beginning of CERTAIN Text Boxes FIXED
Clear Button for Notifications has the text on two lines (Working on it) FIXED
Download Strip Looks Weird. (I personally like it) Download something from the market to see what it looks like FIXED
How To Install
USE ADB!
When you download the framework-res.apk, put it in your adb tools folder.
Ex. C:\android\tools
Type in ADB command prompt.
Only if You downloaded twframework-res.apk!
Code:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[COLOR="Red"]adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/twframework-res.apk[/COLOR]
adb reboot
If You See This In ADB Command Prompt:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Permission denied
$ mount: Operation not permitted
Go Here And Download Gsam101's Kernal --> See Post
Some items taken from Jedipottsy's beautiful ElegantSteel theme. See Post
Drop down bottom Notification Bar taken from a port of Manup456's NexTheme. See Post
If any bugs are found, please report!

Put this in the "tools" folder of adb.
You can also use a file explorer that has root permissions like Root Explorer. If I was you, I'd buy it. It's a very handy tool.

Hello, I wrote this shell script to make the CM7 nightly the way I like. It was a pain to do it manually every time I would flash a new nightly.
NOOB WARNING:
THIS SCRIPT IS FOR CM7 NIGHTLY ONLY. IT MAY WORK FOR OTHER CM7 BASED ROM BUT USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT DELETE SOME FILES ON THE /SYSTEM/APP AND MODIFY YOUR BUILD.PROP FILE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR PHONE NOR IF YOUR PET DIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
This script do this:
1) delete some APKs from /system/app that I don't need
/system/app/Camera.apk - replaced by Miui camera
/system/app/Calculator.apk - I use RealCalc
/system/app/FileManager.apk - I use Root Explorer
/system/app/Music.apk - I use the new Music App
/system/app/BooksPhone.apk - I don't use this
/system/app/Protips.apk - Useless
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) replace the boot animation with a sharper and bigger version (file size is bigger too)
The original boot animation size is too small for our screen. Some people could car less for this as you don't reboot your phone that often.
Original boot image:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

3) replace the default camera for a Miui camera
We all know the AOSP camera sucks...

4) backup and edit build.prop to display "Inspire 4G" as device name
Some people asked how it affect the market and so far so good for me.
I have no idea if automatic backup/restore from Google is working or not. I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps before I login with my Google account.

Things you will need:
1) Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A)
Free app. We will use this to run the script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Script and other files - RAR version inspirefy_files_v1.1.rar or ZIP version: inspirefy_files_v1.1.zip
All the files needed for the magic to happen...
VERSION 1.1 UPDATE: If you already have the version 1.0 on your phone you can download the attached zip file from this post to update the script to version 1.1 - Just extract the zip file to /sdcard/inspirefy/ and replace the old 'inspirefy.sh' script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install & use it:
1) Extract the inspirefy_files.rar (or inspirefy_files.zip) to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard).
You will have 2 new folders (or just 1 new folder is SL4A was already installed): /sdcard/inspirefy and /sdcard/sl4a
2) Install the sl4a on your phone and run it.
2a) Select "run-inspirefy.sh" from the main screen. If it's your first time running the script you must confirm the super user request.
3) After the script is done (about 2s) you can close SL4A and reboot your phone.
Done
You can edit the file /sdcard/inspirefy/inspirefy.sh with your preferred text editor to make any changes you would like, maybe you want to keep the Tips widget
Have fun!
Thanks to dog77k for the feedback and suggestions and everybody who is using this script.
Good stuff LGSilva. Will let you know how things go after I find a free method to extract the rar (don't use root explorer) or when I get to my desk...
Very cool and glad to see this. Nice job
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Just added a ZIP version for the necessary files in case you want to do this on your phone.
forgive me, but I've never ran a script on android before. I loaded up the folders on the root of my sdcard, installed SL4A and ran it. Superuser didn't ask for permissions. Also, I can't figure out how to run what I need to. Help?

When you ran the script did you get the terminal window output with something like this?
Code:
Inspirefy 1.0 by LGSilva
Remounting system partition rw...
Deleting apk files and boot animation...
Copying new boot animation and camera...
Setting permitions and ownership...
Backuping build.prop and changing device name...
Remounting system partition as ro...
DONE
.
The text is tiny but you can read it. Is there any error message on the terminal window?
Check the superuser app, sometimes it will have the SL4A marked to deny root...
Edit: Just testing on build 103... looks like SL4A is not happy with this build, time to investigate.

Yep, you beat me to that, I blame the internet
Two suggestions/hints for the inspirefy.sh code:
"chown root.root /sys..." gave me an unknown user/group error, but "chown 0.0 /sys..." worked for me.
I was getting an error when trying to remount /system as ro that it was still busy so I added a 2 sec pause before trying to remount:
Code:
echo -e "Remounting system partition as ro...\n"
sleep 2
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo -e "DONE.\n"
Otherwise the code worked well for me. Great work LGSilva.
I was having problems with SU thats why lol I'll fix it and try this again and update when I'm done

"chown root.root /sys..." gave me an unknown user/group error, but "chown 0.0 /sys..." worked for me.
I was getting an error when trying to remount /system as ro that it was still busy so I added a 2 sec pause before trying to remount:
Code:
echo -e "Remounting system partition as ro...\n"
sleep 2
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo -e "DONE.\n"
Otherwise the code worked well for me. Great work LGSilva.

Thank you dog77k for the suggestions.
I've updated the script with them and also added a 2sec pause after mounting it as RW just in case...
Files with version 1.1 updated on the first post, no need to reinstall SL4A.

Thank you!
+1 to both of you, thanks for the great scripting solution.
