So the dialer on Dutty's ROM is nice but it includes the video dialer and there's no point in that on AT&T. Anyone have opinions on the best dialer to use for AT&T? Preferably one that uses the same reddish theme as Dutty's or could be skinned to match?
TIA
I'm using the reTOUCHed dialer I used on my Wizard. The keys are a little bigger which helps (somewhat).
I'm just going to be blunt: Pick a dialer that suits you.
I'm using the I Phone dialer. I found it somewhere on this forum. Easiest to use, for me anyway.
yea cause the keys must be bigger but a bigger key on this stupid small screen pssh. htc needs to work on there screen size man.
I use regular one
I removed phone skin completely, for some reason i noticed every custom phone skin messes up the smart dialing, even though i hide the sim card contacts the smart dialing starts searching shows them, but when I keep the original phone skin the smart dialing does not look in the sim cards when it's hidden.
Please let me know if I am wrong about this, because this has been bugging me for a while, that's the reason I always revert back to regular phone skin.
Is it possible to compile all of the links for non-video (At&t) dialers in this thread?

I second the motion...
I personally like the windows dialer. I find it loads much faster than any skinned dialers.
Post some ****ing dialers. The AT&T dialer sucks.
EDIT: Found some.

I've never played with changing the dialer before that's why I was interested in other people's opinions and there really isn't one good place to find dialers.
Any further input on good dialers (opinions on them and locations for them) much appreciated.

does anyone know where to get Dutty's dialer, the one he uses in his roms?
thanks

Hey guys!
I have take JF 1.51 EU ROM and tweaked some parts of it to make it more friendly to non T-mobile / Developer users.
Changes:
* Removed Web'n'Walk app
* Removed SpareParts app (ugly in the menu, with minimal daily use)
* Removed Google ringtones/alarms/notifications
* Removed all European APNs
* Added HTC Magic ringtones/alarms/notifications (better selection imho)
* Added Orange, O2, Vodafone and T-Mobile APNs
* Added latest Google Maps application
* Added HTC mail app (Work Email)
* Swapped default wallpaper for rogers one (bit smarter)
* Made launcher app drawer solid black background
Where can you find it:
I've started a project on google code http://code.google.com/p/htc-dream-uk
could be good for those uk users already on JF, im sticking to cyanogens test builds, but if i was looking for a stable rom, like JF a uk based would be amazing.
Here are the O2 PAYG settings for internet and MMS
Copied from the apns-conf.xml file, so you can just copy/paste this into your apns-conf.xml file.
Code:
<apn carrier="O2 PAYG" mcc="234" mnc="10" apn="payandgo.o2.co.uk" user="payandgo" server="" password="password" mmsproxy="193.113.200.195" mmsport="8080" mmsc="http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002" type="" proxy="" port="" />
Hope this helps a bit
I'm on O2 Simplicity and I use:
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
USERNAME: vertigo
PASSWORD: password
Thanks guys, I will include them into the build.
I assume the MMS settings are the same for Pay&Go and SIMplicity?
OK - Those two O2 APNs have been added.
If someone could confirm working APNs for Vodafone then that would be great.
Also, is there an easy way to alter the status bar color etc? I dont want to get too messy, but just a thought.

Have a look in the Themeing & Applications subforum. I think the related .png file is located in /system/framework-res.apk
Just open the .apk file with 7zip and edit the statusbar_background.png in the res\drawable folder in photoshop or gimp and change the colour

Hello,
I would be interested in such a rom. I currently use the rogers rom because I like the htc mail app. Would you consider trying it in your rom rather than the google mail app?

I will try. Since I am working on JF 1.51 baseline I dont know if this is possible. I am quite new to the FW game, so we will have to experiement.
I plan to make the RC1 build available this coming Friday evening GMT. If the HTC mail app is missing, then lets try to get it into RC2
Did the framework-res.apk file editing work?
I just looked at the file when I posted and figured it might work ^^
APNs
May be of some use for all the APNs
http://modmygphone.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#UK_Networks
I will check out the APN list posted. Hopefully add the missing UK networks.
I also managed to get the Mail.apk from a Rogers ROM supporting Exchange, with the help of some people on the forum, and a quick test looks promising. I will make it available in the ROM also.
I did manage to alter the framework-res.apk and have a black status bar, but the icons looked poor against it. I added the rogers wallpaper (red wave) and it looks smart, and I also made the Launcher menu background solid black. Overall I think it is a little more "smart" looking.
Hopefully will make the ROM available tonight via rapidshare etc, or maybe start a Google project.
This looks interesting for simplicity and a clean look, I like that you're trying to change the normal, dull grey status bar / pull down because I really prefer the semi-transparent black version used in Hero.
Thanks for taking the time to work on this rom and good for you for sticking up for yourself in other posts. you know which i mean.

For the initial release I am going to keep the status bar "dull grey" I am going to work on a transparent black, but it will mean I need to change the icons to suit, which will take time.
It might be easier to rebuild the Launcher.apk from source and make it load the icons from filesystem rather than RES folder. That way it could be skinned a bit easier... just a thought.

When I bought my ADP1 I always planned to make a generic ROM for us UK users. Alot of work goes into the US versions, but since the dialers format the number for the US scheme it makes it less attractive to the UK users.
I know that I will benefit from my ROM, I just hope others will to.
I have updated the main page and added links to the download.
I might release updates as a patch to the main download, to reduce the download times. Details will be on the Wiki on the project site.
I'm rooted and have working MetaMorph. I've been told that due to ODEX files stock ROMs are not skinnable with MM at all. Is this true? I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639556&page=5
THIS skin (with Desire Battery Icon). If it's possible and someone actually comes through, beer money will be headed your way. Flat black, all Desire Icons, works on stock if at all possible. I'm new to Android so I don't know much about this stuff unfortunately.
You can theme the .apk's but cannot change the color of the text (but you cannot change anything that would reside in a .dex file since that .dex file is now in an .odex file). If you don't have a problem with not being able to see you carrier name, clock, or date, then it is doable.

Drat. I guess I'll have to hit the forums to see if there's any ROMs at all that are minimal in nature but still allow the skinning. I'm not really liking all the extra stuff in CM and MoDaCo's ROMs right now. I love that they're doing the work and forwarding the platform (I used MDC's superboot/root which was fantastically easy) but I'm not into the additions, I want to make those myself. What to do (aside from dealing with the stock bars)...

You should really look at enomther's ROMs then. They are about stock if you don't choose any of the extras that come with them. They are also amazingly stable.
EDIT:Since you do speak of making your own mods, then if you de-odex your build then you could theme it as you choose basically.
http://code.google.com/p/smali/
That will set you up on de-odex-ing your build.
Here are some Sprint Lovers Icons for MikG 3.0. Now because using certain MikTweaks alter the ROM's SystemUI.apk, I have made two versions, one with a normal notification drop down and another with an inverted one. As explained by aamikam, when applying the inverted notification drop down, the SystemUI.apk is replaced with one that he has on his FTP server. This means that if you use this, it will get rid of the notification icons that I have changed. Although you cannot use that tweak, the semi-trans tweak will still work, so you can use that one as you please.
Also, as advised by jadeboy7, since the SystemUI.apk isn't the only file replaced when using the inverted notification drop down tweak, you would want to apply it with MikTweaks first, then flash the appropriate file from the OP.
As with any other rom/theme/mod, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, I will however do my best to try to help solve any problems you may experience.
These really dress up MikG, awesome job.
Is it possible to have these icons ported over to the Sprint Updated 3 Final ROM or any ROM that is 4.67 / GB 2.3.5 based? When I install the current Sprint Lovers Icon pack, I reboot and am prompted with a message of "Too many words..." message that won't go away. I assume the installer/APK was made for 4.67 / GB 2.3.3 and not the latest?
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello everyone & welcome to my new thread dedicated to build custom themes for the LG G7 ThinQ only!
Reasons & Goals: After owning Samsung flagships for years, I got very well accustom to their great theme store that gives the user the opportunity to make their device feel and look different, but after moving to the G7 ThinQ I felt that the official LG theme store sucks a$$ when it comes to options offerings, so I decided to create my own themes.
Note: I will be adding new themes to this thread commonly. Released themes are subject to updates aimed to either fix or add features, they will be posted with revisions # & dates.
How To Apply: Download & install the apk file and go to Wallpapers & Themes settings, You'll see it there.

Great job on the orange... But when i try the stock theme it's orange too?? Even tried reverting back to the lg stock theme and then re applying the sour stock, but it's still basically the orange... Orange framework and orange icons.

Very interesting that a guy with absolutely zero theme threads in the past within a span of a couple days just happens to have 4 full themes made. Also very interesting that some things in said themes have elements that were only needed on G6 themes and aren't even needed on the G7 nor present on the stock system. I'm curious why you'd have those things there if they're not even needed and part of the G6 themes and specifically something that perhaps was found in specific G6 themes? I wonder what will happen if some of these things are compared to a few specific themes and we see if said elements/images are pixel for pixel identical? Wouldn't that be just a huge coincidence? Let me ask you something here. If you actually made your own specific image that was unique and you saw it somewhere else other than where you put it, do you think you'd recognize your own work or no?
Also very interesting that in some files within your theme , contain names of specific themes and other theme designers' designer name in them? I wonder why anyone would have a file named after another person's theme in their own theme? That seems rather odd doesn't it. Also odd that some things that took some of us a year to figure out, you've miraculously figured out with zero help in a matter of days! That's just amazing bud.
So I guess I'll keep looking and see what else I happen to find. At this point there are a lot of red flags happening and this isn't going to end well. There is a right way of doing things and then there's "the easy way". The easy way is never right, and the right way is never easy. You now have to make a choice. Either fix everything and do things the right way or stand your ground and try to deny it all and wait to have this thread shut down. I'll give you a day or two to decide and in the meantime I'll compile a list of suspicious elements to present to the moderation team should you choose door number 2.

Hello, after reading your accusations of my 4 Theme+ and asserting that I stole yours and others developer's themes, that I also I have not previous experience therefore it is odd to you this is my response.
1. Although certain files are not needed on the G7 due to a change/update on how the theme engine works, I have them there for the following reasons:
A. I also make themes for my V30 and my G6
B. Under System > Priv-App there is a pre-installed theme on the G7 called "White". That theme is a pure premium theme that under "commom" you get to see and change almost every single aspect of the phone's UI, and I used that Theme as a template because it has everything you need to make your own themes.
C. You say that certain theme colors are identical to other Devs, and that is either a bad coincidence or you got our files mixed up while decompiling others people's themes for I don't know what reasons.
2. And yes I would recognize my own work if I saw somewhere else, but how different can a Stock Android or Pixel XL based theme be, they follow a certain hue of blue and either White status bar icons color or blue, or White with a blue background. My Sour Orange theme was made by following the stock "White" Theme as a template.
3. You said that it took you years and that "of course" I don't know anything about LG's theme and its Framework because I don't post anything before, why would I? I made this themes because I have been doing it since it was introduced in the G5 & V20 I believe, I just don't usually share my stuff. Not all of us share our custom roms we make by using AOSP or Lineage OS as templates.
4. Also I see that you make themes too, and you know that it takes a lot to just make one. I made them weeks ago, I post them all at once because they work and have not UI issue or glitches. And again, things didn't take years to figure it out baceuse you have to do to learn it real good is root your LG device, Download Themes from their Store, Pull the APK's and use them as template. And if I was new at this, I would've follow this easy tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75130522&postcount=10
5. I make Themes for nothing in return because I build them for myself so why not. You make and sell yours I believe, I hope that is not the reason why you are decompiling my themes and accusing me of stealing your work, because although they still are overlays, yours are Subtractum based I believe and mine are just straight forward, and recognize you from previous LG Device "Theme Forums".

Ok so you've made your decision and are denying using other people's work without consent. There are infact specific files hidden within the stuff you posted that physically have not only another themes name written on it, but the name of the person who made it.
But nice try dodging this. Listen bud I get it. You got excited and wanted to share some stuff. But you went about it all wrong. You took the easy way out and thought no one would notice.
Here's just one little screenshot of another guys name in a classes.dex file from your theme. I can show a bunch of other stuff if you want? I'm pretty sure you're name isn't WSDeveloper aka WSteams aka bin than who is another guy who makes themes.
Want me to show some pixel for pixel pngs too where you have identical to the pixel images as other people? Or some xmls that are line for line identical? Maybe I should post the JSON file that has another themes name in it that you overlooked and forgot to delete? The reason you didn't see all of this and I did is because you didn't build from source. You decompiled other people's stuff and did it that way.
At the end of the day you took other people's work and slapped your name on it and called it your own.
You need to stop, own up and do things right without using other people's stuff. I've given you the chance to make things right and have a bit of dignity and respect but it seems you want to do what everyone else does when they get caught and try to twist things and deny it when the proof is right there.
So again you have one last chance to make things right. You can easily rebound from this and use it as a learning experience. Hell I'll even help you out because albeit I'm focusing on substratum now, I have about 30 or 40 lg themes. Btw my substratum themes are encrypted so people can't decompile my stuff lol! I assure you , that you're not the first person who's tried to do this with LG themes in general. So the ball is in your court.
I think we both know that I'm right and that I'm not bluffing or making things up here. I cannot however stand back and watch this type of behaviour continue without saying something.
So take some time and cool off if need be and decide how you wish to proceed because the next step will be to present everything in question to the mods.
So ask yourself if you want to learn some things and do it right or do it the easy way and cheat? Again I can help you but first you need to make amends.
I wish you good day now.
I thank you both for your work to give the general phone using population a place to go to truly customize their phones. But im gonna be honest, I tried Marks way of installing his alpha theme and then i tried Tetra's way and its a whole lot easier and way more convenient. I'm really tempted to not touch this argument between two contributors that clearly dont make a lot of money giving me the consumer what I want. At the end of the day seems mark is mad that tetra may have stolen work , but more so its seems Mark is more frustrated that Tetra's theme solution is straightforward, doesn't involve two pay walls and is a 10 second solution compared to Mark's which takes forever. Mark really not trying to cut you down, but an apk install and then jump to theme page is a lot better. Whether Tetra stole work or not his way forward is the one that all developers should look to.
