[CM7] fugly fix

See POST 46 for the theme packaged as an apk for cm7 theme manager. The following is outdated, and preserved only for future reference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the default pulldown shade in cm7 looks a bit nasty with the gray bg, etc.
this theme modifies only the pulldown to make it look like this:

Thanks voodoo..

Any changes in framework-res.apk in 1/14 build to 1/15 build? It probably safe to flash over lithid's 1/15 build but I just wanted to check.

i already add the flip n fly transitions animation to my framework-res.apk would i just use this and add the flip n fly to this one instead?
the animation is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886294&highlight=youtube&page=163 by mitchellvii

probably easiest to add the transitions to the framework-res from here. or just use the script. the cool thing about using the script is that it should work on top of any modification or theme already applied to the device.

Will this work with the newest build of CM7 or no??

the link for the script is down..

Would *love* if you pushed this to the CM Gerrit.

setup a linux install with adb.(covered elsewhere) connect evo to computer with a usb cable. open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted the script. type "./theme.sh" without quotes. press enter key.

This looks really nice. Would love it even more if there wasn't the white highlights around the icons.

black status bar

i use the rom freakcha 1.3
is there any way to make the status bar black?? i use awd launcher and after a reboot the status bar is black, but when i pull it the first time down it will be white.
thanks carsten

http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/25718-changing-statusbar-color.html
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/7973-transparent-status-bar-shade-rooted-droid.html

Is transparent black then?
I will try this as I want my notification Bar black too.

No transparent is not black. But the guide there tells you how to change it. It's task that takes 5 minutes of editing in Gimp/PS (took me 5 mins in Photoshop).

Ah - photoshop is out of my league!
I think uot must have the option, I'll add it to list of things to do when I get back home!

It will not work with uot. You need to manually modify the files as said in the thread there. Otherwise keep on with white on stock rom.

Have you searched inside these files? I don't have the stock ROM and I can only guide you "blindly". There should be a "status_bar*.png" set of files; use search as these are inside subfolders, a few levels below the root folder.

hi alex, i found there only this file "status_bar_header_background.9.png"
and this is a black one
I also think there must be another way. when I start the phone, the status bar is indeed black, then yes it changes to white after use. you should be able to prevent just that the color changes! I though the picture alters the change will take place anyway, and then the font color is still dark and therefore not to read

[Q] Batter Icon Percentages for EP4P

Hey everyone,
I just downloaded the 2.3.6 EP4P leak from TBH (deodexed). I HATE the battery icon because it doesn't show percentages left on the battery. Is there an .apk or .zip that I can download to change it?
Thanks in advance.

You could always put on a theme... A whole new blue is a good one... Other than that, you can go on UOT kitchen and make whatever you want and its easy to do.
edit: Why you're at it, why not just flash Humble 5.0? Its an excellent ROM and you can read on the thread how everyone loves it. Plus, there are already 2 really good themes for it.

Install the coredroid theme (next line down from this thread)
I installed that with the 2.3.6 leak, it gives you the battery percentage you're looking for and looks AWESOME.

I looked at it and I can't stand that font. I think its ugly (just a personal preference). Any other ideas? Can anyone answer my question about UOT?

Use root explorer or something similar to get the file you need from your phone. they live in /system/apps and /system/framework.

This your first go at themes? Looks good so far. I would love to learn how to do some porting or theming. Is it easier to port over than start a theme?

This is my first go on the Droid Charge. While creating a theme from scratch is without a doubt harder, porting is not really all that easy either. Font colors might not match up giving you a black text on black background and stuff like that. Porting is actually very time consuming depending on the level of themeing on the original.

Love it! Perfect winter theme!

what Iam I doing wrong?
I have tried this twice and it is not taking. What am i doing wrong? I have downloaded the zip to my SD card, booted into recovery and installed the zip. I am on Humble 5.0. I have tried this with system mounted and again without it mounted. I am coming from a Blue Neon Plus theme as part of the Go Launcher. Do I need to first be on the default theme? Any help appreciated.

My guess is you extracted and copied the bootanimation.zip to the supposed location? If yes, then:
1. Make sure the file is named correctly (must same as the original file you are going to overwrite)
2. Setting the right permission
As shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16154535&postcount=6
Try this and see if it works.
