[themes] cyanogen/freex10/tmr based roms testers wanted. - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

New thread has been started now guys, thanks to everybody's help and support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948701
See post 54/56
Right Guys,
For those now running cyanogen on there x10's, they maybe aware that some themes from other models of phone will fit our x10, i have been in touch with a xda developer SicNside of the droid Eris phone whose 2 of his themes i have used. If there is much interest he has messaged me saying he is willing to port the themes over to us and to support us, can those interested please post and also any of you willing to test as he has not got a x10 phone.
I have posted some pics of one of his themes which i tried yesterday and i am sure you will like, i have also provided the link for Eris thread.
The zips are flashable by xrecovery/custom zip install, please do the following..
*Always make sure you have a backup using xrecovery*
Copy zip to sd/card, go into cyanogen settings/user interface/tweaks extra and reset to default.
Go into xrecovery wipe dalvik-cache and install custom zip (FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3 ), reboot phone.
Please then do the following..go into cyanogen settings/user interface/tweaks extra and select a theme and choose froshedyov10-reboot your phone and thats it.
On the the lock screen there is background to a logo that is bieng looked into at the moment and a solution will be found.
Please give your support guys, i do not want any credit for SicNside's work but he is willing to share so can you pass on your thanks to him.
I will share this thread with him once up and running so he can then start porting-cheers.

UPDATE.......
Those having problems with cyanogen settings not working flash the cyanogen settings update zip with xrecovery and please remember some setting changes only work after a reboot.
Those having issues with the grey bar in the lockscreen, it is nothing to do with the theme it is the version of cyanogen you are using on your phone, i re-flashed with this one and it did the trick.......

The HW button lights not working, phone settings/display/brightness un-tick auto.

Reserved for future use..

I really like the Lucid theme, if he ports that to the X10 I would test it out.

Nice theme. Would like to try given that my pc gets back from repair in time.

Give it a try mate, as long as you are running cyanogen on your phone you will be ok, just follow the instructions on the first post and get the theme from sicNside's thread, again the link is in the first post, wallpapers and extras are also in his thread.

Which 2 themes exactly are working on our X10?

Hi sniperbag,
I have tried the gingerbread (GB FroyoEris-CM6.2), it is in 2 versions and the FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3, the only issue with the froshed is the lock screen, have look at the screen shot, it has left a grey background where he had a logo, it has been mentioned to sicnside and he will look into it when he recieves my pm(time zone differance).
Give it a try i think you will like.

I can't even see, which bug you mean. For me it looks fine. Ok, I'ma gonna try the Gbread ones.

Hey fellas, im glad you like the themes. And when I get off work later ill start decompile some roms to port the themes. But I need to know which cyanogenmod roms you guys want the themes on. And ill post them up here for testing. Also if the versions for CELB work let me know how the sizing of things are looking because I think the two phones has a big difference in resolution

Hi,
Nice to hear from you, we are currently running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 with froyo base, i have tested the FroyoEris gingerbread and that worked fine, i will test the CELB in a while and edit this post to let you know the result.
The FroShed-CELB v4.1-4.3 works ok, but as for the lock screen problem i had, another member never, so i do not know about that one.
We appreciate all your help and your sharing, i am sure more will get involved as you post, if you want to start a seperate thread, please do by all means, it may be easier in the end, if you want to use this thread for testing for now thats fine too-thankyou.
EDIT....I have just installed GB CELB-4.1 - 4.3 and it works perfect, so the choice is yours my friend, seems like we may be lucky with the resolution, i will try and find out what x10 resolution is for you.

My Wife and I are both running Trip's CM6.1.1 on our x10's and would love to test these themes! ( Her small request....Pink n Black or Purple n Black theme... HEHEHE! ) Been waiting to see what came up on the Cyan ROM'S, we tried a theme from a nexus port last weekend and just got in a boot loop. NO GO.
Thanks and Best regards,
Chris

Works great so far. I'm loving it.
Thanks for sharing
Question(s):
1. Are you using launcher pro in screenshots?
I use ADW EX.. any tweaks for that?
2. Do we flash the froshed extras package with recovery?

The extras are not flashable zips they just contain things to extract to your sd card like docks for launcher pro, wallpapers and icons to use in the dockbar or to replace app icons using a icon replacement tools or launchers that have that option built in like adx ex. As far as adw tweaks you can use the icons but adw still does not allow you to use custom docks

Hello!
Can confirm, Frost for CM6 worked like a charm on Trip's 6.1.1CM, dropped the loaded version with themed apps, and DID wipe D cache first, no problems!! Looks very sweet!!
Will try more tomorrow!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[Theme] Vanilla Android for Sense [PMF 1.0] [ALPHA] [WIP]

By request, I have put together a stock android theme for PMF 1.0 (cause it's deodexed)
I replaced some files in services.jar to get the clock in the status bar to be black, but you'll notice that notification text is still white. If anyone has good java skills and wants to help with decoding .smali files so we can get black notification text then please pm me.
If you guys like this and want to encourage further development please donate.
This theme will not work with any odexed sense rom. You can try, but you'll get bootloops. Don't say i didn't warn you
Please make a nandroid before flashing this theme
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?immzcmqtzyj

hey bud, you are putting up some real quality work, probably one of the best themers on the incredible so far
Ok. To install this place the .zip onto the root of my sd card and apply through the clockwork recovery mod, correct? Also after applying this, how do I disable/remove it if I do not like it? Thanks

Please make requests via pm. Threads are for discussion of thread topics.
I just installed the taskbar and it looks great, much better than the stock taskbar. The only thing is, my clock still shows up with white text, not black.

I used update.zip and applied over stock Sense.
I actually just read the first post a little closer, it still works with stock sense, only issue is the lighter colored clock in the top right corner. Thanks for all the hard work, I'm really liking the themes.
I just applied this to the latest version of my ROM and it looks fantastic! Keep up the good work man and thanks for the support!
This was my first ROM and theme I installed.....Love it so far, good work!!!
Thanks very much for this. One issue: from time to time, the 3G icon reverts to the old Black icon. Did I not apply the update properly?
Question. Does this theme skin Sense or is this just the taskbar?
coolingout said:

Location still uses the black icon, also 3g seems to switch back and forth between the black and white icons.
Other than that, it's great! I love it.
This may be a dumb question (sorry I am new to the game) but do I need to root my phone first? Or can I apply this "theme" using the same method I installed the OTA leaks and updates on my un-rooted droid eris (place files on SD and restart phone holding down power+volume down)?

You applied it correctly, if you are talking about what I think you are.
What happens on mine is when the 3g becomes inactive (just inactive, not disabled) it reverts to the old icon.
See if thats the case with you as well.

Asimmons's big theme porting thread Updated 10/25/10!!!(Dark Edge, INexus)

So heres two of the themes I've ported lately.
Backup before you install, there might be minor 9patch issues, you might need to change your cmparts colors!... and please don't complain about something missing.
Soon I'll release a way for just about any theme to be injected into your rom with out have to worry about frameworks, roms and the other issues that arise from theme porting... this will be built off of the script I'm using now. Why not release this script? because its tricky to use and I'm going to make it friendlier to use by putting a gui on it.
These or for cm6 stable.
I take no credit for these themes only the port.
I won't be doing nightlies, but anyones is welcome to use the source to port it to a nightly, just respect the original creators work and give them props.
Further Ports:
As you guys might know I have an Evo now but I'll still stick around and help out my buddies in the Hero forums... so I can't port every HDPI theme, my porting technique isn't 100% but the script does alot of the work. The script literally takes 30 minutes to an hour to run.... so in short I probably wont or can't port every theme out there as is just not possible but some themes port very easy, if one of you guys see and issue with a theme I post here just fix it and repost it cause I won't be fixing it.
INexus:
INexus mdpi port download
INexus OP
Dark Edge UI:
Dark Edge mdpi port download !!!
Dark Edge OP
This has some issues with black texts anyone is welcome to try and fix this, I don't have the time atm to do it myself... unless bribed.
Buufed Rom:
Working on finding the full theme apparently is hard to find around here, either buff theme or Buufed theme.
Screenies:
Later... going to a b-day party.
Inexus looks good so far..just flashed it and no issues yet.. GJ on the port..

Yeah its finished couldn't port the lock screen since the ud rom has a custom one... but the biggest issues is the black text for the dialog. Since my porter only does pngs and the dark edge has white text most of the dialogs can't be read... not sure if I should post as is or make the xml edits myself. Its really time consuming.

send me a link and I'll look, like I said this will port any rom's png over to any other rom. The biggest issue are the 9patch's and the xml edits. xml edits can be gotten around by porting to a rom/theme that is similar but the 9 ptach porting is so tricky and its never 100%, but it does most of the work and if you do see and issue in a 9 patch all you really need to do then is decompile the 9patch and fix the strechies.
DarkEdge going up soon?

[THEME] [Update to 12-17 Roms] Flip_N_Blue [jaybobs cm stable roms]

VERSION 1.1 DOWNLOAD BELOW FOR JAYBOB'S 12-17 ROMS
First off I did not create this from scratch, the 3 main themes I used to make this are jaybob's CM6.1 Stable BlackMod (any of his builds should work), thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme and Incognito/Minimal Theme by Retrokid223 (Samsung Fascinate Forum).
Now with all that said, I made this theme to run on jaybob's CM6.1 Stable builds though this should work on stock CM6.1 stable. I have not tested it but will some time today. Also I have not tested on nightlies or AOSPmod. Try if you want but NANDROID!
Installation....
Make NANDROID!
Flash Theme
WIPE DALVIK!!! (if no wipe you will get FC"s)
Reboot System
Enjoy!
The animations are easy to replace if you do not care for them. Take the stock rom and open with 7zip, open another 7zip with the theme, inside the framework folder take the folder called "anim" and drop it in the theme, reflash theme.
I will keep theme updated as jaybob releases rom updates. As far as other roms try the theme porter for now, or thoughtlesskyle has some AWESOME themes for AOSPmod!
I never posted a official thread for a release of a theme, so if I left anything or anyone out please PM me, thanks

I did that first, only I pulled it from my phone using adb replaced the xml files in framework napkin(suppose to be apk but it replaced it, kept it cause I thought it was funny...just like gonna = hobnail, wtf is a hobnail haha) n pushed it back on. I tried following the directions but adb wudnt work when I was in recovery so I just did both push n pull when the rom was booted. It worked but force closed everything. See I know how to do stuff but don't exactly know what it is im doing, im good at following directions. I have no clue why clearing dalvik wud make or break this mod, or what it does to begin with, the extent of my knowledge is that it clears dalvik cache hhahah.

[APP][MOD] (not so) Faster (and buggy) TouchWiz Launcher [XXLE4]

I saw a lot of comments about how slow the new TouchWiz launcher is, so, because I had already downloaded the ROM, I want to try something.
I'm not using this ROM, so I don't know if it works, let me know.
This is the new launcher, don't be fooled by its name, that's how Samsung named it.
It should be uglier than the unmodded one, but it should be as ugly as the one from Gingerbread, unless Samsung used more transparencies and fancy shades this time (transparent widget should be affected by this change too). Here the explanation.

Downloads in the next post.
Note:
If you are not familiar with adb, I suggest you to install an alternative launcher first, then copy /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk somewhere safe, for example in your SD card. In this way, if something goes wrong, you can always start the second launcher and restore TouchWiz30Launcher.apk with a file manager.
At least until someone tries the two zips to restore the unmodded launcher.
No launcher, no way to launch apps

Downloads [apk + flashable files]
There are 4 flashable zips, two of them restore the original TouchWiz launcher.
Read the name of the file, fasterTouchwiz-odexed.zip obviously is for odexed, fasterTouchwiz-deodexed.zip for deodexed.

No one is interested? Maybe you don't like to do things manually, so here some flashable zips.

fasterTouchwiz is here.
(the only one I'm sure it will work is fasterTouchwiz-odexed-restore.zip)
(and BTW this is the launcher from XXLE4)

Well I just flashed the deodexed file, and apply with CW and working EXCELENT!!! Good job my friend!!!.
I have the Clean Rom by Luiseteyo V3.1.... So now I have 2 lanchers!!!!.....
Thks very much!!!!
Edit: Its no smooth as the holo launcher but work very very fast....
I tried on xxkpq. But force closes.
I really don't know how this new TouchWiz launcher is, anyway, I explain what I did in this mod.
(I wanted to know first if this really changes something)
Basically this new TouchWiz launcher uses 32bit transparency, or at least that's what I can see decompiling it:
Code:
<bool name="config_force32BitWindowAlways">true</bool>
What I did was to put that boolean value to false.
32bit transparency makes everything better too look, but it also slow down the UI. Without it, you should see some bands in trasparent backgrounds, it's the little price to pay to have a smoother interface. (In Gingerbread the default setting is 16bit, so you should see these bands)
@vishal
I think there are too many differences. Samsung apps use their own framework (twframework-res.apk) and probably this launcher needs the new framework. I don't think you can simply replace it with the new one. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know anything of this ROM.
Anyway, if you want to see how much this little change can do, you can enable 32bit transparency in GO launcher (it's somewhere in the settings, I can't remember exactly where, maybe it's called "high quality drawing". It's not the same thing, because they are two different launchers).
@machotecba
Thanks for trying this. I'm glad to hear that it works.

I tried this in and there seems to be a lot of performance increase.... As always, your mods are simply incredible...

Can I ask a question? Could you port the 14 toggles for Deodexed and the extended menu for this rom? I tried and I could not, well I must learn / read more for that....
thks

I don't think I'll do it now, maybe in the future. I did this one simply because it was fast and easy to apply.
If you want to try again, here I posted the links of some tutorials.
Anyway I think that sooner or later these mods will be ported to this ROM and if I'm not wrong, someone had already ported something, I can't remember where are the links, maybe in XXLE4 thread.
Hey losnosc!! I am using the tested 'n' worked version, but i have a little issue: when press home, the screen goes black during a 500 msecs and then goes desktop. It's normal??

Tested, but not by me
I think that the problem is that there's a transition application->desktop that does a large use of transparencies and because of the 16bit what should be semi-transparent is solid.
It's just a guess, I flashed this ROM for 5 minutes just to fix the WIFI, I didn't even try this mod.
If that's the problem, I could change this behaviour.
So let's try something (this one too is a guess, I don't know if it works or if I changed the correct thing): fasterTouchwiz-experiment-deodexed.zip
(flash the old zip in case of problems)

EDIT: Samsung could have at least changed this
Code:
const-string v0, "GT-I9000"
with Cm9 there in no reason to use samsung roms!
