[Q] need help porting theme - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I'am trying to port a theme to the Epic from the Evo Forum and I have an issue with the market. After I modified the framework and the vending.apk the market is themed and semi works. What I mean is that it opens and its searchable, but when I click on an app it force closes and even when I try to click My Apps in the menu button it force closes. Does any one have a clue to what I'am missing or what I did wrong?
I have more Issues but Its just a matter if time for those since modifying what goes on resource.frameworks.apk to twframeworks.apk. As soon as I am done with it I will post it in the Themes Section.
Here is the Original post from the Evo section made by "Slayer69"

[Froyo] Morphs discussion and progress in here plz

Loving Froyo but missing the black noti bar and icons. Anybody got any that are compatible? please share thanks!
EDIT: Many users managed to get morphs working, HOWEVER the text color mods are currently not working therefore black stat/noti bars will have unreadable black text (clock, operator). Old morphs will work, you will need to remove the services folder from your morph and edit the thm/xml accordingly. I will be posting my morph which is a black stat & noti bar after a few tweaks.
i think i read somewhere metamorph does not work in froyo, needs update.
but the good old update.zip way should work. the rom needs to be deodexed. paul will do this next week. but it would be nice, if someone could deodex classes.odex from framework services.jar, so we are able to mod the status bar. found some info about this on smali/backsmali developer page but wos afraid to do something wrong. could an expert have a look on this?
[request] deodex framework files
who wants to be first and get all the fame?^^
the older version of metamorp with .thm files is working fine in my froyo.. i have change the top bar , the launcher icon and he power widge.. setcpu will not work (name of app has changed).. also my remove dots on lock screen morph works under foryo

Could we get a link to this version because i cant seem to get anything working >.< I get an error about the theme control file? Thanks for the help anyone!
Re: Froyo - Anybody made morphs?
Each of the notification bar morphs I have used have resulted in a boot loop upon the forced reboot... if anyone has successfully morphed the froyo notification bar, could they please post a link to a the .thm file or pertinent thread? Thanks!
Ps... preferably a desire look a like, but I'd settle for anything but white

Hi any chance from you or somebody else to post the Old MMorph app
Can't find it , just the new one @ market
Thanks
you know you can just take the framework-res.apk and put the png's that were changed into the apk and push it back to the phone.
Here is the older version for thm's guys -> http://www.mediafire.com/?amgthhzdm1t I feel comfortable posting it because it is a free app and an old version. If Im out of line please delete it admins. This is STERICSONS!!! NOT MINE!!!!!!!

okay first i am unsure why the dialer does that for you mine works fine (also included a screenshot)
and for the icons that you do not like just replace them with the apk's from cyanogenmod
and if you wanted to i could just throw those 2 apk's into a flash-able zip later if i have time (it's my birthday today so i won't have much time in the day pretty much now and later tonight) and my HDD is failing so i've also gotta replace the HDD and restore my data to the new one which i
and sorry for all the excuses
but easy way to do it yourself take my zip extract it with winrar or other
get cyanogen mod zip extract the apk's you want from it
put them in my zip in /system/app and replace the old ones and rezip the two original folders and reflash
A) Awesome, nice work
B) Nice to see you themeing again, we apparently have similar tastes
C) Not really a shameless plug since I'm giving it away, but I did an LP dock, dead on Droid X style. The thread is here.
D) Happy Birthday!

Ohh, Happy Birthday
I think the problem with the Dialer is with the contacts with long names. I noticed any of my current contacts with short names (included in the Pic -2nd post and noticed in your reply with Pic) are ok. However when the name goes long, it overlaps, it is like trying to go over the outgoing arrow indicator and the Redial arrow as well. Can you noticed that?
Also, strange thing is that it only happens in the call log window, I dont see that going on in the contact list...
Anyway, happy blessings in your BDay, dont get drunk and messup with signing broken zips. LOL J/k..
Full of win.
I'll try to post more screenshots soon:
Only issues I have seen so far are the above mentioned problems in the call log, and the browser bug in the attached screenshot.
Thanks so much.

[Q] Elelinux on Hero:Theme chooser fails

Just installed latest Elelinux on my Hero and find that the Theme Chooser app will not change themes away from 'Elegance". I ran Rom Manager's 'fix permissions' and tried rebooting immediately after a 'change' but no dice.
Are these themes (Androidian and System) 'live' or in some other way beyond the Hero's capabilities?
How so I tell whether a 3rd party theme is suitable for the Hero? Is finding them a matter of digging through Deviant Art and suchlike?
BUMP
... so nobody else has any difficulty using Theme Chooser under Elelinux on a Hero??
If TC's OK on your Hero, please let me know as well. Then I'll just stop bothering, look for another distro or something else.
thanks for this information mate

[CM9 ICS 4.0] Mods, Themes, Add-ons, Apps etc. support

Created this thread to keep the development side free of spam. And giving some noobs support and confirming what works with this port and what doesn´t.
I´m going to start of with this theme:
5.9.1 Version bootloops use older versions!
I can confirm that this theme is working . It has way better music app layout than the stock music app. Music app now has 3 new and different sized widgets. It also contains 2 extra launchers, Nova and Apex. Both are smooth and ICS lookalike. It also has 1% battery icons.
It is also available as partly blue theme, more like stock ics.
Themed stuff
-Contacts
-Messaging
-Browser
-Gallery
-Camera (well it isnt working with our phone so never mind that)
-Google Play
-Keyboard (DIDNT WORK FOR ME, BUT INSTALLING ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARD WORKED!!)
-Google Talk
-Google Voice
-Email
-Calendar
-YouTube
-Trebuchet launcher
-Nova Launcher
-Genie widget
-CM9 Music and Clock
-Circle battery (AOKP only)
The keyboard disappears after flashing this theme!
Keyboard fix: just install another keyboard example go keyboard.
WAIT AFTER FLASHING!! IT TAKES ABOUT 2-5 MINS OF BLACK SCREEN AND THEN IT BOOTS WITHOUT LOGO TO LOCK SCREEN SO KEEP TAPPING POWER ON BUTTON!
BLACK SCREEN FIX: This occurs every reboot, you just have to wait after white android boot logo. Then try to unlock screen because it goes straight to screen lock. Try disabling SIM asking at boot if that helps.
It also might lag little bit in recovery just after flashing!
Be patient!
Q&A
My phone keeps bootlooping, what should i do?
Get resources.arsc from the folder /MORPH/system/framework/framework-res.apk of a previous working release or delete it (you'll have some blue stuff)
My phone and contacts are not showing, what to do?
Flash latest google apps for ICS and then the theme again.
Gmail app force closes, any fix?
Go in system settings, apps and clear gmail datas
I'm on 4g and i'm having troubles with sms/mms and calls, what to do?
Delete contacts.apk and mms.apk from /XTRAS/system/app before flashing
How revert back after this theme?
Flash via CWM the backup in /sdcard/UniversalFlasher folder

Did you have any mods in CM9 before tried? That might be the problem. Did you try to unlock screen by tapping power on? Otherwise wipe dalvik and flash again.
Why you cant wait bugless cm9. This topic causes lots of spams in both topics

I fetched the 4.0.3 Contacts.apk, overwrote it on /system/app, set permissions to rw- r-- r--, rebooted, et voila.
So, until ravp624 solves the issue by providing a universal Contacts.apk, I'm gonna use this (slightly outdated?) workaround.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, after installing Blue Infinitum, you can try replacing the Contacts.apk with the one I quoted above. Then set permissions, reboot, and you're good to go.
EDIT:
I modified and repackaged the CWM file, which found from i9000 Themes' forum; and included the inverted 4.0.3 Contacts.apk from above, plus a less spammy updater script.
So there you have it; inverted apps, the easy way, compatible with our i9001/CM9.
I have included only the basic stuff (aka only what's present in Arco68's CM9):
Calendar [4.0.4]
Contacts [4.0.3]
Email [4.1]
Gmail [4.0.5]
MMS/SMS [4.0.4]
GTalk [4.0.4]
Market [3.5.16]
If you want to add any other skinned app to the package; you just have to open it with winRAR, navigate to "\system\app\", then drag and drop it into the archive.
Download: Click meh!
Known Issues:
"Strip unicode characters" option is missing.

[REQ] Inverted MMS.APK for Kingdroid_Notemania 4.x

I have been searching for a working inverted SMS that works in the KingDroid ROM. Unfortunately every MMS.apk I flashed or copied via Root Manager crashes. Most of them does not open, some of them opens and displays all the threads, but crashes when trying to send SMS.
Can anyone please guide me to a Inverted Black MMS.apk that works on KingDroid NoteMania 4.x +.
Much Appreciated.

No guarantees (and make backup before), but maybe the addon pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429170, (not the theme, find the "Inverted apps addon" in post 1) could work - it seems to copy orginal apk's to sd card, apply changes and put them back, plus it comes with flashable uninstaller. Addon works on my CM9, never had to test uninstaller though.
Nope, No luck.
I flashed the addon pack. Every default app that was themes except Calculator FCed. Got to put back the back up.
Thanks for the time.
I think this works only for SGS2.
Solved.
The work around I would was that install Kingdroid_AOSP_MMS.apk ( Same as the AOSP apk at The MidTeam 1.6.2 thread v 1.1 ) right after flashing the ROM. Before opening SMS app in the stock.
If flashed right after the MMS becomes the Inverted Version. As far as I know, there is no other way. I have tried almost all the MMS.apk that says inverted after opening MMS that comes default.
This solved my issue. :highfive:

Actually i found a work around. Installing the AOSP Black MMS.apk right after the ROM flash. Without opening anything else. Tried twice, worked both times!
