Version 0.5
Made because of bootloops. Must have been something odd that had happened during encoding, the apk went from 3.5MB to 2.2 or so. Ended up re-doing a lot of it anyway to narrow down exactly where I had gone wrong.
So. That being said, I believe I have fixed the problem finally. And it gave me a chance to go through and change a bunch of stuff to be better I think. Without further ado, let's get to it!
Here are the files:
Services.Jar - Transparency Fix, White Text
BlueSteel-v05.apk
BlurPhone.apk
Changelog:
v0.1 - Changed Status Bar color, clock colors
v0.2 - Changed a lot of icons and XML's
v0.25 - BROKE!
v0.3 - Fixed bootloop problems, Made blue colors "Better" made high contrast icons, including re-doing some entirely.
v0.4 - Almost fully skinned the status bar now. More refinements, started changing menu selection press / hold etc, will do keyboard and buttons next build!
v0.5 - Skinned phone dialpad and a bunch of text changes, and minor changes to other images
v0.6 - Fixed the rest of the textboxes so that all textboxes now are readable no matter orientation or location.
Plans:
- Finishing the status icons and buttons/menus etc.
- Adding status icons
- Maybe custom app icons? (select apps)
- Browser (maybe)
- Pandora, Audio Manage, Switch Panel (stuff I use)
Instructions - DO NOT USE ROOT EXPLORER!!!
- NEW STEP: Download and save file to computer. Rename to framework-res.apk!
- Copy the files to the root of your SDCard
- Download your current framework-res.apk to your sdcard as a backup
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\backup\framework-res.apk
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/fwbu.apk
: adb pull /system/app/BlurPhone.apk /sdcard/bp.apk
- Type the following
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
: reboot
- After the reboot
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
: reboot
- After the next reboot
Code:
: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app/BlurPhone.apk
: reboot
You probably don't need to reboot twice, but it's the safest way to do this I've found. Any problems, let me know!

Can't wait to get my hands on it =)
Are you dev'ing this with the leaked froyo, btw?
Yeah I forgot to write that it's a 2.2 Theme
what about the alarm clock? Can you post the framework/services so we can load it?
Alarm clock I haven't gotten to yet.
I haven't posted it quite yet as there are a few things I want to fix before releasing a beta. Like transparency for USB/VM icons and changing the text on the notification "curtain". Maybe tonight though

*** WARNING ***
I WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
** End standard boilerplate warning **
EDIT: Note that until I get the text changed in the notification application list, it's kinda hard to read in direct sunlight.
Looking good. Ready for the beta. Thanks for your work!
sent from Cybertron via my DroidX because iCant
Updated, also added links which will have now, nightly builds.
what about the keyboard? Is it in blue now, or is it still red?
Red keyboard? I'm not familiar. I'm using the FroYo Swype build which has a white keyboard....
When u click on letters they are red.

I expect to see a theme called "Magnum" after this. But you can't change anything.
P.S. Sorry for the spam, but I had to.

Ahahahahaha! That's exactly what I was going for lol
New version is up. No more loadng problems either...added a couple more icons, and changed more to be easier to read.
More Icons. Stable, tested by someone else.
Looks great man, Nice job.
BTW if you are interested I have a framework-res.apk that moves the lock screen slider one row lower on the screen. IMO it works much better and is much more user friends being all the way at the bottom of the screen instead of the normal location. If interested drop me a PM with your email and I'll shot it over to ya.
Love the theme great job one of the best yet, but changing the red highlights to blue would top it off nicely.

I built this from original source code and nothing change except addition functions
I think this might make in into a cm build like the launcher mod did.
I'm requesting that you change the color scheme I like the idea of green or light blue on black vs white on black. Maybe a color pickers for the font and background, that would surely be cool
hmmmm interesting modified version for hero mayb
i need a computer so i can dig into these apk's ...
Finally, someone made it
Thanks dude.
Send me the patch

Open source rules. Pretty soon my ROM is gonna have to change it's name to XDAMod or something
Patched in and pushed to Github. I also grabbed a couple of other patches (send IM, avoid dupe recips).
Hmmm kinda of got lost here, how do i apply the patch to a current theme'ed Mms.apk?
thanks and great work bud.
Could anyone give me some black-background examples? I have no idea with that.
If you are experienced with change color/background on-the-fly such as using color picker, I need your help. Aslo, I need some advices about color pattern.
Show me your ideas and we'll have great apps.
would be great to show contactpictures in the sms
did anyone try modifying the mms.apk in the hero rom to make the send on enter key also =D
i would love this!
Looks good...
Do you think you can add landscape with the VK to it?
It seems like all the devs lack the ability to fix this
Added option to switch from white to black background. Please see the 1st post, screenshots included

And the size of the Phone.apk is 900kb besides 500kb, I have to check why.
Thanks to Cytown / Cyanogen / Brandenk /Bkmo

if you want to push it with adb just open the zip and look in the app folder.

WITH THIS THEME YOU LOOSE THE INFO OF THE CALL WAITING CALLS.
I am not a developer all I did is some png and hex edit... I don't know if it works with all the roms. Backup your Phone.apk first...

I am not a developer all I did is some png and hex edit...
My tweaks:
Bigger Caller Photo: 210px
Removed the border background and added some colored background for the call display: calling/connected/ended/unknown/bluetooth
what I changed
The Xml Layout Portrait in the source is:
file: call_card_person_info.xml
<ImageView android:id="@+id/photo"
android:layout_width="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want
android:layout_height="116px" Change to 210px or bigger if you want
android:scaleType="center" Change to fitXY
android:background="@drawable/incall_photo_border"
/>
the file is binary I did this in HEX
Offset 0x469 -> change 74 (width 116px, default) in D2 (210px)
Offset 0x46D -> change 74 (height 116px, default) in D2 (210px)
this is already fixed by Cytown
Offset 0x480 -> change 05 (center) in 01 (fitXY to expand the photo 210px)
thanks to Wysie for new offset.
The image is a little blurry because when you add a contact the crop edit in Contacts.apk crop it to 96x96px.
I also changed the Contacts.apk to make crop of 210x210px and it works...we have a very defined picture, but when the contacts are syncronized with Google Contacts the picture come back to 96px
I hope Cytown will improve in some way the Contacts.apk...
Xenio
Screenshot 210x210px
Screenshot Full Width Photo.
Screenshot Call Waiting info
this is cool, i like the multicolored gradients in the bkg.
This is great. A what about 300/300px.
so do i just run the zip in recovery??
and i am running cyans mod.. do i have to re put pics.. i dont have alot but i dont mind updating pics. lol..
plus i have facebook sync and syncmypics from the market and u can choose to crop or keep full size from facebook.. so its all good.. i jus wanna know if i hve to have anything before i install this..
or can i just download ur zip and rinstall it!?
This Looks Amazing
Just One Question...Yes I Still Have A Little Noob In Me But Like I Said Just A Question
Does This Work For Every Rom With And Without Donut?

This is the V7 version of the Phone.apk of Cytown with Cyanogen tweak for a fast ring/display, I am using the V7 and not the V10 because in the V10 the feature "show avatar when outgoing call not answered" is not working.

So all I do is download this zip install and my contacts will be big
Inside the zip file there is the .apk you have to push it to the phone.
I don't know if this modded phone.apk work with all the roms, I am not a developer, I putting here some tweak for who want to make a "regular build of phone.apk", we are lucky we have Cytown that make the Android Phone usable.
For the apk use the Cytown thread as reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539752

This worked perfectly for me. (tried to make it as noob-friendly as possible).
1.) Open terminal application on your phone
2.) type "su" to get root access
3.) type "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" without the ""
4.) type "cat /sdcard/Phone.apk > /system/app/Phone.apk" without the ""
5.) If there is a Phone.odex file in your /system/app directory, remove it by typing "rm /system/app/Phone.odex" without the ""
6.) Your signal may disappear for 10 seconds, don't panic! This is just the phone adapting to the new Phone.apk you just installed. If you still get no signal after one minute, try rebooting.

EDIT: never mind got it to work maybe ythey should put that you have to extract the file
I am sorry, as I said I am not a developer, I think my tweaked Phone.apk does not works with all Rom.
Just wait for the version from Cytown, in the next release he is including my tweak with the bigger image.
Updated theme with V11.1 and Eclair bg
Updated with the V11.1 from Cytown and the new background from Eclair
The new background from Eclair looks like my original theme with the gradient color... lol.
is it me.. or did the pictures gobacc to regular size. i got the gradient but now my pics are still small!..
V20 is out
Cytown has released V20 with blacklisting. All it needs is the gradient.....
updated: V20
Ok,
I did the theme and 210x210px (cytown is using 164x164px) aligned with the V20 from Cytown.

Just put this file on your SD card and flash in recovery.

Used a black background instead of black color for the apps menu (requested by DocRambone for skinning purpose)

nice to see you have released it for none rooters. anyways when will you be adding the double tap to launcher2?
i guess you would love to have double tap?
Cannot install either from adb of from the sd card.
pkg: /data/local/tmp/HelixLauncher_1.0.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
what ROM are you using?
Thanks, this works like a charm on my Droid w/ ESE53 now! I do have a noobish question, though -- I was trying to theme this launcher a bit, but after I did, it wouldn't install anymore. I tried doing it throug ADB and get the following error:
Code:
INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE
And LogCat throws the error:
Code:
Package com.helixprogect.launcher has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.shared; ignoring!
I did have to re-sign the package using testsign.jar, but I'm guessing that I need to use different keys, but have no idea about how to do that. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
I have an q: is it possible to lift up the app bar icons few pixels?
The seem to be a bit low.

I am using stock nexus.
@btdownloads7
what command did you used? adb install? the reason is because user data of that app already exists on /data/data and hence adb detects the conflict of different apk being used.
try adb install -r
or if that doesn't work. delete the user data first before installing.
oh and also, mine spreading to the droids forums? thanks!
EDIT: worst case: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3f084d78a15f6d3d
@DocRambone
i think i need a better solution for that. it has always been that low right? as in the handle view.. the icons alignment are made to follow handle view.. if not, it'll look messy.. imagine floating icons with sinking handle bar. :S
@htcmagic
if i dont mind, i'll need a logcat of after you try running that command..
I did use "adb install -r", and I didn't think that I'd need to wipe data because I used a Nandroid backup before I ever installed your original app. I'm using Pete's Bugless Beast rom right now, and will do a full system wipe and install it from scratch. Will let you know shortly if that works.
P.S. I just posted a link to this thread on AllDroid.
no no... not talking about wipe data.. do this:
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.helixproject.launcher

Ahh, I misunderstood -- I already did this, but no luck. I'm going to wipe data anyway, just to see if the problem gets fixed.
And I was looking in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529124
It's talking about a totally different ROM, but I figured that the same principles would apply. And it looks like the people there didn't find an adequate solution. It sounded like the signature in the launches has to match the signature in framework-res.apk, but I'm pretty much a noob at this, so I couldn't figure out how to make that work.
wait dont! lol.
edit /data/system/packages.xml
remove any traces of com.helixproject.launcher
Quick theme for this launcher
OMG yes. I got so depressed when I found your Launcher2 mod and I couldn't get it to work on my Droid. This is PERFECT! I had tried Home++ before and loved the shortcuts on the bottom but H++ was buggy/unstable and I wished that I could drag my own icons down there. You took care of that and this thing seems fast and stable so far.
I hope to eventually get your Launcher2 but this will definitely keep me happy until someone with more Droid knowledge makes it work!
Thanks!
Btw, how difficult is it to change the tab on this launcher? I'd like to customize mine to match the smoked glass theme that I am using. Can I open the apk, modify the pngs, and then reinstall it?

LOL. Did that already as well. I should have mentioned all this in the op. There were no traces, and I made a Nandroid backup before wiping, so it's no big deal.
Still got the error message after full wipe and new ROM re-fash. Could you possibly modify the theme if I send you the PNG files? I'm trying to make it look like the Smoked Glass theme that I use in my stock launcher:
I don't know how good it'll look, but I modified the images to match the smaller app drawer handle, so I wanna give it a shot.

@DocRambone
COOL! nice work man! i love your simplistic taste!
maybe i should use your menu icon instead of droid's.
@gardobus
Ask DocRambone
EDIT:
@htcmagic
have you allowed install on non-market apps? (settings->applications) if you have and it still doesn't work, i'm sorry, i guess unrooted phones needs to have valid signatures which can only be obtained through market.
@btdownloads7
hmm.. i think you encountering a similar problem with htcmagic. ask DocRambone how he did it. I have zero knowledge on theming. Heh.
THIS IS A BETAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also known as Webst3r over at some other forums.
THIS IS STILL BEING WORKED ON!! But this is a good base to start with. MUCH more will be added in the coming days/weeks.
YOU MUST BE DEODEXED FOR THIS TO WORK
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE!!!
Breakdown:
BlurHome.apk = App drawer
framewrok-res.apk = HTC like statusbar
services.jar = White clock, and date

If I wasn't addicted to ADW, I'd be all in on this one!
Update: on second thought, I think I will use the Framework & Services. Might even motivate me to make the Sense bar for ADW.
Installed services.jar & framework-res but I still have black clock??
Does this have to have a deodexed system? I assumed this was for Froyo since it says 2.2 in the title (and it didn't brick my phone )
Updated with transparency.
I also still have the black clock.

Hello OP.. love the theme.. i was curious if you could implement the circle battery indictor found here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
im running the fully deodexed froyo with your theme and no issues
Is there any chance of getting a white Notification with NO clock?
After deodexing with xUltimate all is good. I now have a white clock and transparent pull down.
I just realized that the notification ticker text is still black.
Thank you, works great!
Just one thing. When I pull notification area down, there is a slightly transparent area going in front of it. And then it gets covered by the status bar going down.
Please see the screenshot.

Notification colors are, white. And probably not with the no clock thing. But in xUltimate there's an option to remove it.

How hard would it be to make the battery indicator blue instead of green inside? Ill do it myself if its simple enough but ive never themed anything

This bricked me.
I had the black clock like everyone else after having to pull my battery on second reboot I got sliders but nothing else. Now I'm in a boot loop & on a mission to find the X SBF file so I can unbrick.

If you're in a bootloop, thank just go into recovery, and do a nanadroid.
Anyone with a black clock, dowload the latest release. I replaced it with my services,jar. So hopefully everything works out.
i pushed the service and framework more than once and i still have a black clock and the pull down isnt transparent. i have bad luck

Are you deodexed. That's probably the issue.
Can these files just be replaced using root explorer? I hate to go through all the trouble of using terminal...I'm lazy.

I wouldn't use root explorer doing this stuff. Just don't trust it enough. ADB all the way for this stuff! Never bricked my phone once yet (knock on wood)

Unless you wanna sbf I would use adb.
Yep, you'll go in a bootloop if you use root explorer. I was lazy too and learned it the hard way

After working very, very hard on this (like, all night, mostly because there was some moron who promised "white text" with the same algorithm that produced "red text"... not you, but somebody else), I give you... A white clock.
Installing/flashing this one over would look something like this, from your computer.
adb push services.jar /sdcard/services.jar
adb shell
$ su
# cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
# exit
adb reboot

I'm clueless on how to make themes or ROMs so be nice to all the poor shmucks out there (e.g. me) and turn this into one for us (me) for whoever needs it? And the carrier name color looks funky on my phone too...
Edit 4: I think I made a mistake about how I installed this jar file... it seems to have to be done via ADB to work at all. Otherwise the phone crashes badly.
services.jar (white clock)
https://rapidshare.com/files/3094962859/services.jar
http://depositfiles.com/files/lfa71yhn8
http://www.easy-share.com/1918153166/services.jar
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1972798641
Anybody can change the clock color by using apktool to decompile services.jar (you don't need to change its extension).
From there, go to com/android/server/status and edit StatusBarIcon.smali.

...in the format AARRGGBB, I believe... two hexidecimal digits for alpha, two for red, two for green, two for blue. If you don't know what digits you color is, use the color picker on a free photo editing program (like GIMP) to find out.
My example above creates white with full opacity. You don't have to invert the hex or write it backwards or anything, so don't sweat it
updated OP with white clock
Just two questions now:
Is the standard Rom necessary? Austrie is using just the oddball version... If it could be ignored you could probably halve your development work
And what about the carrier text? It shows up as black (on black) for me, a relatively minor thing to fix but still...
And otherwise this mod is stinkin' amazing. Edit: my phone finally gave up on using a custom kernel so I returned it to stock. Disappointing but I didn't especially need the increased performance...

Carrier text was supposed to be like engraving (not contrasting) ; and my phone doesn't like the oddball kernel so i dev for my phone first; and then i dev for the rest of the other phones. I wouldn't have made an oddball version immediately except someone at androidforums.com requested it. So now i just include both downloads cause i need the regular kernel in mine.
Fair enough, it's easy to apply a kernel without much effort, and since my phone now hates all of them I just flashed stock anyway.

Redownloading to test just because it's small(er) and my phone is the only Internet connection I have... while you work on your Gingerbread rendition and I try to play catch-up on how you make ROMs.
Anyway...
*bump*
Any way to make a tiny zip to flash, just to change the clock color? Would just contain... services.jar, if I remember
Considering there are six relatively big ROMs sitting here.

sure i can do that!
And a long time later, I was looking for my instructions to change the clock color Mostly because my darn clock isn't appearing in my ROM any more (but then again, my phone has been pretty messed up lately). Two little things:
1) I think your instructions are out-of-date, unless you actually RECOMMEND wiping data still. Most people are saying the opposite.
2) I feel bad having to download all three ROMs at once... you should mirror off some popular massive filesharing site. If you ever have to re-up, I mean... as to keep your site from losing its bandwidth quota if you have one.
This is pretty legit
