Is there a way to have this ported to the Hero? These are the best icons I have seen in Android so far (imho)
Mayb with some resizing the icons can b used in one of the roms 4 the hero
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Well afaik the icons are changed by changing the apk and resigning. I don't know how to change the icons in the apk or resign, so I don't know how to do this... if someone were to do this, they could just make it a flashable zip to change the icons on almost any ROM (with the apps)
could ask him. Konib used to dev for the Hero
It would look better and take way less time if you either asked konib to do it or asked to have his originals so you could port it. Resizing indexed .pngs from higher resolution to lower resolution makes them look like crap. (not all but a lot of them)

That's not even close to being true. Most of the icons in my roms r from hi Res roms that I port down to our phones. They look great. Ill port these later when I get home if the op wants to pm me the link

How can you say its not even close to being true when Im sitting here staring at a GPS icon I took from the Droid X resized it to 25x25 and there are a few pixels that are out of place? Unless I'm doing it wrong... even then its still close to being right. And how can porting a theme from a higher res theme not be time consuming?

You're right. Theres no argument about the the depreciation of images when resizing. They get compressed. Its not a matter of opinion, or conjecture, its fact. If you are able to refute this, let me know.
Well to correct everyone,resizing will remove some of the clarity of the image. Scaling the image down will preserve the clarity to do this we start with a 38x38 image create a new blank 25x25 and paste the image in, then use transform to shrink the image down. This actually scales the full image to size. That is for photoshop . Fireworks also can accomplish this very well . This is just my experience after 7 years of PhotoShop

I have most of the icons resized. I can't finish until later today. I just have a couple to finish and put them into the apk's and make a flashable zip or I can create a metamorph file.

Metamorph please I have better luck with them not messing with any of my other mods.
I did what I could for now. I will make both a flashable zip and a metamorph theme. I haven't made a metamorph theme since they changed the program, but I should have something up either tonight or in the morning. And I am putting the icons in both the HTC apps(HTC dialer, mail, messaging) as well as the AOSP apps, because I am not sure who uses what.

I love the look of the icons, reminds me of WP 7 (which I think looks gorgeous)
I had some problems with some of them. I will have them on here before Noon tomorrow.
Here you go. I am reflashing a sense rom and then going to flash this again and see what needs to be worked on

Well I wanted to start a bounty for this theme since it doesnt seem like im the only one wanting it. I dont know if I am asking too much, but the rounded corners, animations, clock, just looks fantastic. Is there anyway to port this too damage build (with sense)? If so im in, im a college student so ill go $5.....may not be much, but lets see how many others come in (likely too be a decent amount).
Too those that dont know about it:

1) Notice the above taskbar....this is the same as above, but with grey battery and 3 signal bars. Screenshots posted at the bottom.

i attached the full zip below. we need this for damage and flips new rom.

That isn't really the whole theme... That's just a taskbar I made w/ the battery seen in Regaw's ROM. Is that all that is wanted? Cause there are animations and other stuff in the full theme. I don't know much about those but copying and pasting the .png files that what you posted is pretty darn easy.

that zip gave you the fonts, the full taskbar and the launcher + wallpaper. thats all i want, i don't need the animations.
If I have a little free time later I'll work on it. Don't hold me to anything though; I've been trying to keep very busy lately.

do you happen to have a link to any of the 3g icons though and thanks!
Yup...your phone is told to display either 3G or evdo or 1x....find which one your ROM is told to display and locate those pngs in the com.htc.resources.apk and change them in photoshop or whatnot to the 3G icons (which will also be in the resources.apk)
...they will ALL be easy to locate, just look for pngs that are titled signalcdma6bars or 3G or evdo or 1x....
It's a bit of fishing, but one inside, you'll start picking up what is what and changing what need to be what.
Hope this helps

It's a little disappointing. I wonder how small a rom someone could build if they removed all the stuff that never gets used. It's like they built an os and rather than building new ones they just update it from device to device. It would be cool to see one that had nothing extra in it.

unless I'm mistaken I don't think it would be possible for any of us to do it. I think all the files in a given apk are logged when it's compiled and although I've never tried it I suspect that if you removed even one png (or even just renamed or resized one) it would disable the apk. But don't quote me

Again, don't quote me, I think a transparent png would be the same, or at least not much different in size. The file has to indicate something for each pixel whether it's a color or transparent.
*edit- I'll check some of my transparent png's against the stock ones and see if there's a difference

I'm not sure about the system ones, but I did change some of the png's in the weather widget and forgot to resize the images to the correct size and it still worked.
I am actually going to give this a try with the framework-res apk and let you know. I will delete the some of the png's not used, but keep the folder and then flash and will let you know.
THIS IS THE GREEN MACHINE DC+ MOD
(its a rom not a theme)
**LINK UPDATED TO DC_3.2.3 on 7/9**
I saw damages newest release yesturday, so i put this little mod together for myself so i could check it out. I can never just flash the plain rom anymore, w/o modding it first, so when im done i just take out the paid apps and then ul for others that may like it. pps were asking me for a green mod so this is what i did. Its damage, just skinned with a new rosie,htc weather clock,themed lockbar,status bar header,status bar bottom, and changed font to comfortaa. I also fixed my EVO modded main nav scroller.Make sure you check out the new suped up dconfig ui. its sharp.
Here Is Exactly what is added app wise
Utilities:
(these are all VERY small, but VERY useful apps)
androzip
autokiller
systray(for ram)
battery widget(batt%)
oc widget
wireless tether
mount usb
dual mount
spare parts
Keyboards:
htc_ime mod
DroidX
htc_green slide
Dialer:
dialer one
LWP:
4 touchwiz
1 nex mod
1 starfield
LAUNCHERS:
ROSIE_MOD(ME)
TOUCHWIZ(testing)
ADW(only non-sense launcher i use)
ALL but the htc_kb can can be removed from Data/app BTW
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT CAME IN THE DAMAGE RELEASE
WHY NOT POST THIS IN THEMES?
because i always have a **** ton of problems with pps trying to flash to the wrong rom then blame me, so i just do the dirty work and set it up for you so all you have to do is flash the rom;i add everything so you dont have to even sign into google to get started(if you flash as much as i do youll understand)
SCREENS
IF YOU LIKE THIS MOD GIVE THANKS TO:
DAMAGE&TREVE=BASE ROM
LCARS=AWESOME BOOT
ME=BEING ADDICTED TO MODDING
PLEASE KEEP THE THREAD CLEAN THIS IS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE FLASHED THE ROM AND HAVE CRITIQUE FOR IMPROVEMENT OR ISSUES; NOT TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE ME. NO ONE HERE CARES ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU
If you are more fond of the espresso rosie go HERE and pick up the zip.
Be sure to thank KONI for all his hard work(he still needs his evo)
AS ALWAYS, for best results, wipe then flash(this is up to you)
ENJOY

can these be made in to themes that can be flashed without having to install the whole rom? so i can switch between colors?
if it this is based on 3.2.2, that one has bugs. Newest DC version is 3.2.2.1
I'd love to try this out but unfortunately I can't seem to do download it on any of the mobile browsers I've got. I keep downloading a really small .dat file. Can anyone upload it somewhere else? It would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, i can do that, i used to hate the factory rosie but now i love it because i can do SO many things to it. To a mod freak like me, thats where its @. The other rosie is pretty basic. I like to replace it using my own shapes, but if you want it what color? my buddy drew wants it too. Colors are pretty limited to Black or a type of green between dark green and neon green. Lemme know. Glad you like it.

The easiest way to do that and the way i do, is to get ur setup perfect, then nandroid. Verify the nandroid. WIPE. Flash the new rom. Set it up to ur liking. Nandroid. REPEAT(this requires some space on sd and hd to backup).I wish it was that easy. If i could whip them up id have every color When i have some inspiration, ill be working on a blue next, if i have time maybe ill try and spit out two themes @ once. pm you when its/they are finished.
Like i explained in ops, i setup the whole rom so you get everything working the way its supposed to. Easier on everyone. If you dont like my work, just nandroid.You wont need it any time soon though

You can get it but on phone it is rather difficult to dl a 180mb file w/o corrupting the dl by slow data transfer speeds & combo of what type of sd you have it saving to. I can gurantee it works from pc and that is your best bet. I cant count the roms ive dl'd but never once have i dl'd with phone directly. I actually assume it would not complete and just waste my time. Sorry about that. If i knew another way id gladly share. If you have any other issues ill try my best to get you up and running.

You can then open it with 7zip or winrar and peek inside.
Want to add custom/modified transitions to your rom?
D thanks to aamikam for the add'l transition sets )
HERES HOW:
-Rip framework you wish to edit
-grab desired animations & swap the anim folders
-resign & replace framework.apk
-push to phone(adb/fresh kitchen)
OR
-resign rom & flash(if building/editing existing rom)
these are transitions like burst used in plurstaralpha
EXAMPLE VIDEO
ANIMATION FOLDER (FLIP)
ANIMATION FOLDER (STOCK)
ANIMATION FOLDER(BOUNCE)
ANIMATION FOLDER(FLYING)
ANIMATION FOLDER(FOLD)
The transitions are located in system/framework/frameworks-res.apk/res/anim
Just replace the /anim folder

+1...Thanks Magnus.
I fucking love you (no homo)
Thanks Magnus, nice work.
Thanks. Unfortunately it did not work on mine (stock rooted/nand). I was getting the transitions but I was getting FCs.
I am thinking maybe the FCs happened because I pushed while phone was on. I push now in recovery and no FCs
This type of howto is awesome for people like me not ready to get into full cooking. Thanks!
guys... here is the animations i got a hold of.
they all pretty much work 100%.
the flip is at the first post so i wont post my version of it.
i attached the anim folder.
follow the same procedure as in the first post.... the only thing i would also do is to not resign the framework-res.apk and to make sure to clear dalvik-cache.
here are the videos for them:
bounce
fold
fly
full credit goes to Stale bread who actually made all of these animations for the Samsung moment. including the flip animations.
have fun.
for all of those creative people out there... u can mix between the animations... just look at the files and you can kinda tell by name of the xml what does what and switch around to get your own original animations the way u want them.
personally i use bounce for menus and flip for transitions.

@MagnusRagnarok
feel free to update the first post with these animations... maybe change the title also.

look HERE for some better quality videos. (many thanks to chris_abr for making them)

there are metamorph files with those animations...
but i dont use metamorph so im not sure hot to explain it.
making a flashable zip for those is complicated cuz not all roms have the same theme or the same version of framework-res.... so each rom might need to be worked out different.
u can just take the files and added them to your rom's framework-res and then make a flashable zip that will do the job... but if u dont know how to make a flashable zip... thats a different story.
also, i forgot to mention that u might wanna push the file while in recovery and not while the phone is running...
maybe someone will decide to make a flashable zip for each and every rom... and it wont take long also once u have the actual framework-res from each rom...
i can probably do it sometime... but i have an exam tomorrow... so im not going near it for atleast 30 hours.
This is freakin awesome. Dont kno how to do and dont fully trust my abilities to give it a try. Still freakin awesome tho!
About to hit my station. Going to mix around.

Awesome thread! Can't wait to try. I'd love to see the animation collection grow too. Thank you.

i've been playing around with them.
if u decompile them u can see whats up in there... pretty simple actually.
but u gotta kinda visualize it.
i've been trying to find time to also implement them into more apps...
for example... inside com.htc.resources.apk there is obviously also an anim folder... but just takeing those anim files and moving them into that folder replacing the original ones wont do... u need more than that cuz the call for the anim inside framework-res is made into a folder inside the framework-res while in com.htc.resources the call is also made into the same anim file but in a different manner.
for example:
inside framework-res the call is made like this:
<set android:interpolator="@anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and inside com.htc.resources u would need to have it looking like this:
<set android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
notice the "android:" before the "anim...."
so inorder to port those animations into other things u have to add it in which requires u to decompile the files etc...
also...
here is an example of how the fade in.xml animation is for the filp animations inside framework-res.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<set android:interpolator="@anim/decelerate_interpolator"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<scale android:interpolator="@anim/linear_interpolator" android:duration="200" android:fillAfter="false" android:startOffset="200" android:fromXScale="1.0" android:toXScale="1.0" android:fromYScale="0.0" android:toYScale="1.0" />
<translate android:duration="200" android:startOffset="200" android:fromYDelta="50.0%" android:toYDelta="0.0" />
</set>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
notice that it is not so hard to see what does what as far as coordinates and such.
for the other things its probably not clear but a little research on the android developers website will explain a lot about what does what.
so changing the offset, duration and Xscale and Yscale is pretty self explanatory i think.
u can also add on to it... which means that u can make it flip, then fade, and then shrink.... something like that.
notice that the x coordinates is always showing and the y coordinates are the ones that does something.... thats how u get the window to kinda slide from the top and bottom to the middle. (if im not getting confused here...)
i'm saying that cuz if u look at the original fade in.xml u will se that it was simply:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<alpha android:interpolator="@anim/accelerate_interpolator" android:duration="@integer/tab_switch_fade_in_duration" android:fillAfter="true" android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />

alpha is kinda the fade in/out effect btw.
anyways... i kknow i kinda said too much... but i know there are a lot of creative people out there... so thats a quick and somewhat helpful starting point to what to look at and such.
im no expert... but i love playing around with things like this... so i'm putting out an example of what i noticed.
again... thanks stalebread for putting his work out there.

Actually, I just followed Stale Bread's instructions from SDX forums while grabbing the animations from Lowrider's theme, which came from Stale Bread by the way. With 7zip, I just simply modded Jabbawalkee's smooth sense theme to have the transitions. Everything working great without decompile/recompile/resigning. Of course this was easily done only because these devs already did all the hard work. Thanks.

as u can probably guess... im not the one who made these videos... they are probably like a 6 months or one year old.
i found those animations at a Samsung moment forum.
i dont really have time to make videos for it on the evo right now... sorry...
but ill try to get some videos going if no one beats me to it.
if u ask me... just try them all out and see what u like from each one and combine them together... i tried all of them out... some have somethings missing in them for some reason... probably cuz they r made for a non htc phone... but its fixable.
i have those going on mt phone for like a month now... i just never thought about posting them until i saw that someone else posted the flip just by itself with instructions... and i suck at writing instructions.
i never had time to mess with them too much... right now like i said im running bounce for the menus cuz they kinda scare u how they pop in your face... kinda cool. and flip for transitions.
im not a fan of the fold cuz its kinda sluggish if u ask me... and flyin is cool also.
the one that actually works perfect though in every way is the flip animations... but thats why im saying u can use the files to create your own.
ill try to fixup the quirks in the animations that r not perfect when i get time... again if no one beats me to it.

did u just replaced the files in the framework-res or in other packages also?
from what i can tell i dont think it would work if the call is made to a folder/file within the apk when the folder/file dont really exist in the apk.
but if u said it worked for u... ill try it myself also.
from what i saw the only really safe anim folder to switch is the one in framework-res... but i never tried it without modifying the row's i stated a few posts back.
p.s.
i meant that u need to decompile if u want to do more than use them as is.

where and what theme are you referring to?
this thread says it all
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783946
no body interested for doing it on tab?
is tab HDPI or MDPI?
im using the MDPI ones but i still have gap between picture
i already use 5 row icon for launcher pro, but still 6 row actually to get the picture aligned quite right
i also set the lcd density back to 240 otherwise the picture is much smaller >.<
and i'm a total noob using the photoshop
who knows there's some tab owner here interested in this and posted their own icons for share
i upload mine, using the MDPI ones
still on trial basis, but thats how it looks
get desktop visualizer from the market and you can do it how ever you want
already know bout that, and i already follow the guidance on the link
i just thought it would be fun if a lot of tab user like the appearance and starting to make the icons on their own, so that ppl who's incompetent with creativity and photoshop like me can enjoy other's creativity too ^^
i already got some though from that forum
Lol that looks interesting.
Btw the tab is a hdpi device.
ah, i see
i'll try to scrap from HDPI forum then hehe
thanks
You'll need more rows/columns with LP/ADW. Ill have a go at it in a bit to find the right layout needed.
Sent from my GT-P1000
seriously?
since almost all of them is using 4 column definitely, and not more than 6 as i recall coz most of them is using 4" smartphone
4 column being 3x1 and 1x2
but sure, give it a go
would love to get another input from another tab user hehe
what i'm curious is about getting unread number on text or mail or phone
already get the signed apk, but since it was originally for hero and friends, the ppi and the res and the blablabla is not correct when i installed it in tab, ended up in 1x1 widget when its supposed to be 1x2 on their phone
i think its awesome ... and works fairly well
my lock screen and 5 screen dock
Nice ^^
how to customize the lock screen though? never knew how ^^
so you make your own icons using that .psd given?
willing to share your icons? hehe

search in the market for widget locker, it lets you place wigets and customize the lockscreen to a extent, it was really buggy for me tho.
Do you know how to use Photoshop at all?

Photoshop? sadly, no lol
thats why i'm starting this thread so that more tab user making them and some willing to share their work, and i download it, for a mix and match
i'm grabbing some already from the original forum, but still i dont have all the needed icon like angry bird above or other games
maybe its a disgusting habit, but hey, thats all i can do for now ^^
as natious said .. its widget locker .. seems to be okay for me although i'm not trying to do anything to fancy with it
got most of my icons from the android forums in this thread
http://androidforums.com/android-themes/199936-android-phone-7-theme.html
They also have the psd files to make your own
oh, i guess i havent got to the last page then ^^ thanks
i know bout the psd files, but i really dont know bout photoshop, so its kinda useless for me
i'm guessing you're making it on your own coz their psd is 3x1 and 1x2 while some of your icon looks like 2x2

What launcher are you using, tomorrow i plan to whip something up like this, but im using adwEX and have 10x8 set so they most likely wont work for you unless you have the same number of cols/rows.
Do you have photo shop installed? It really isnt that hard to use, if you want todo basic things

what size you use for your buttons?
i have playing with them style a little time but i don´t get it
lg
I have my screen set up to 4 cols and 5 rows and 240 dpi (182 works okay too but the icons dont quite line up)
I just used the icons from the thread mentioned above and use launcher pro with the stretch option switched on
Looks pretty good.

hmm
im using launcher pro, so i dont think i had a problem with using 10x8
no i dont have photoshop, but im using acdsee for resizing the icons i get for not aligned well
i get these icons that aligned pretty well and its around 158x150 for 1x1 width x height
so all i do was resizing them so it wont gap too much
hehe
what i mean with the photoshop is i'm using the picture i want, giving labels to them, thats what i can't do
maybe i'll install one later and try, it shouldnt be that hard supposedly
