Stock Sidekick 4G "ThemeChooser" Themes

At the bottom of this post you will find a download link to a zip containing all the themes that the sidekick came with.
Some people may be on a custom ROM like Smooth Maximus and dont have the themes, or just removed them and want them back.
This is just so no one has to go through the trouble of downloading a stock ROM the searching through all the system apps to find the themes themselves . So i've decided to package em together for ya.
This is not flashable so you have to unzip them and use a root file manager (root explorer, super manager ect.) and push them to System/app. You Need to be rooted or it wont push the apps.

I have them from a system dump... but just putting them in system apps doesn't seem to make them showup... very odd. Ill upload them when I get on the computer tomorrow maybe you'll figure it out

Anyone figure out how to customize these themes? (especially the colors schemes)
I can easily change the wallpaper with Android wallpaper options, but the color schemes can be difficult to read with some color combos (like black text on dark green background).

Thanks for posting these!
I'm excited to download it once they're uploaded. My phone is so lost without the themes.

Hey i pulled these directly from ayoteddy's stock deodexed rom. All you have to do is push them to your system apps directory and restart your phone. Tested on my phone. Also sorry i had computer problems so had to upload them to my 4shared on my phone. http://www.4shared.com/zip/7Hu9zeYZ/sidekick_4g_themes.html

As for customizing im not sure but i think you can use apk tools to decompile edit and recompile the apk just make sure you have the sidekicks framework installed into apk tools also you may need to sign it im not sure i havent tried it yet

Ah I'm sorry. Uhm what color scheme would you like because I can try modding them for you. I'm not sure if it will work or not but ill try. I used to be in the same boat. In fact im still learning android, but have themed apk files before. So thats in the realm of my knowledge.

Glad people are still using these. Would anybody be interested in me modding these apks to make a custom set. We lack a purple one and an orange one. I might start this project in the near future so check the themes section from time to time

[FONTS] 394 fonts that can be applied with Font Changer. (ROOT REQUIRED!)

Hey everyone just wanted to post this and let everyone decide if they would like to use them. I recently did a google search and found a large file in filetube that had hundredes of flashable .ttf fonts. So I went through them all and made this file that is to be used with Font Changer from the market. There is a free and a donate version. Please consider buying the Devs donate version because it is a very handy tool and he has done a very good job with this app. Below are the steps to apply these. Very easy and Enjoy.
Steps
1-Download the fontchanger file that I have here. Fonts folder
2-Install Font Changer from Market.
3-Un-zip the downloaded file, in it is a folder named .fontchanger.
4-Move the .fontchanger file to root of sdcard.
5- Now start Font Changer again and all of your new fonts will be there and able to install.
6- Reboot phone as the popup will ask and enjoy.
Huge thanks to mayfield103 for providing me with the folder that I lost...sorry about that guys.

Works perfectly! Many thanks.....

Thank you for this! I have used font Changer before and know how to get those on there, unless you had those already I would say that took you some time, so thank again! Awesome job!

amazing stuff. just love diablo font. thx

EDIT: Attached the font that came with my Iconia Tab, not 100% sure that is what you are looking for. I had to make it a .zip file to upload just unzip and put enclosed file into .filechanger folder and give it a shot. Let me know if that is what you had in mind.

Thanks and font viewers
Thanks for putting those together, that was a lot of work. Here are a couple of font viewers for Windows if you want to see what the fonts look like.
Font Runner - not portable but very good
dp4 Font Viewer - portable version
Also, if you set the font preview size to 12px or 14px (for the programs above) it will give you a better idea of what the fonts will look when installed.

I will add a link to this in my theme thread if that's okay.

Very weird, I used to hit around 220mb free and now I hit 310. I've never even hit 300 before on any other rom before, and I've tried almost every other one. Very weird, I wonder if there is any correlation..
But awesome fonts, do fonts from my pc work on my phone?

Yes they will. Also there are thousands of fonts at dafont.com you can even download them from your phone just have to be ttf fonts and i think the EVO 3d even supports otf fonts but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Requested Clocktopia
So here is the requested clocktopia font. But it is not going to give you the font you are looking for I believe. The honeycomb tablets use two different fonts for the clock that is displayed. One parts is the non highlighted parts and the other is the highlighted parts. Together these fonts look good but seperate they are of no use. Will keep looking to see if I can find something that may work. I did find a tread over in the EVO section of someone requesting a honeycomb font and the reply was that there was a font created but because some one the letters look awful the font was never published. I have alos found one that was missing some letters so I won't publish that one either. The atteached file is NOT actually a .zip file. I just renamed it from .ttf to .zip so that I could upload here. Just rename back to .ttf and change the clocktopia to what ever you would like.
EDIT: Just found this other one that does have the honeycomb style numbers. But letters are a bit off. Just rename this file to .ttf as well.

dude thanx a lot, ive installed and deleted this app a bunch of times trying to get it to work, never got it til now, u have it so easily done and got us a bunch of fonts, thanx a lot, working perfect

Thanks for this...working perfectly!

CM7/Custom Soft-Buttons

Ive searched the forums, trying to find if this has been posted.
Im looking for a way to change the look of the soft-buttons inside CM7-SoS on the Kindle Fire.
There is a post in this forum for changing them in ICS with simple flashable ZIP files. Im looking for something similar to this, for CM7
Thanks in Advance!

One way to change the look of the soft-buttons, is to use adb or a file-manager to pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app and then edit png images to make them your own. And then push it back. That's what I did. Do a search on themeing android to find more in-depth tutorials.

I did the ics zip, easiest way without zip is ninjamorph. Do you have images already? Maybe I could throw something together for you, I'm in the middle of a couple themes at the moment, one for ics on the fire might be putting out tonite. Let me know if I can help.

I too am trying to do this.. I have the png images that I want to use but im not sure on how to replace them. When I go to the SystemUI.apk and the appropriate folder I cant seem to figure out how you simply replace the images you want.

Do you know how to use ninjamorph? If not send me a pm and I'll give you my gmail, you can send me the images and I'll put them in a fishable zip for you when I get a chance. I will need to know which cm7 your using too.
Sent from adizzys tbolt

Another approach might be to do what I did-- freeze the status bar and use Button Savior (or SoftKeys or Virtual Home Bar).

Everything that needs to be edited is in drawable-mdpi folder the files to replace start with 'ic' the easiest way to do it is using 7-zip, name your replacement image the same as the image you want to replace and then drag and drop your images into the apk into the drawable-mdpi folder. And then your good to go.

how to get this????????????????

I was able to get this done with ease.
Copied the systemui file, moved it to my computer, renamed ZIP, extracted to a folder. Opened up the files i wanted edited in Photoshop. I made them Transparent PNGs so they would work with any theme that changes the graphic of the status bar.
saved files, zipped up folder. used RootExplorer to Back up systemui. It caused a Foreclose loop. Rebooted, with no status bar. Back into RE, copied the modified systemui, set permissions, and rebooted.

[Q] Theming help

Ok so I just have a quick question about theming. How do I change the text color on the lockscreen? I'm pretty sure I have to edit one of the .xml files, but which one and how? And do I have to actually decompile the .apk to edit it or can I just pull it using 7zip and edit it that way? I already have edited the actual .pngs for the lockscreen, so if anyone can help me out with this it would be great. Oh and this is with the stock deodexed rom.

I'm not sure where its located but it will be an xml file and you will need to decompile wherever it lays. Try androidpolicy.jar and look in there..

So it's not actually in the lockscreen .apk? I will look in the androidpolicy.jar. Also how would I go about decompiling it?

Hey buddy, i've managed to make it work, after 2 months of searching.
Here is the link of proof. I haven't post any files yet or a guide, but if you want ill tell you what to edit and with what tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29106868&postcount=262
Or just paste the file inside this zip View attachment classes.rar to systemUI.apk and do the proper edits to status_bar.xml and the statusbar_background.9.png and statusbar_background.png afterwards.

You can also use the UOT Kitchen.

Yes. Use the .dex file for the alpha level and just change the statusbar_background.png to the desired transparency level and thats it . Just remember to add @color/transparent to the date background, otherwise it will show when you expand the statusbar and add the proper change from #ff000000 to @drawable/statusbar_background.
