[MOD] MAKE YOUR OWN THEME!! Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

let me start of by saying I TAKE NO CREDIT for any of this... only think i did was discover this amazing thread.. (i've know about it for a quite a while now, but don't know why i hadn't decided on posting this here)
im only posting this thread here because not a lot of people in the cdma hero community know about this... and yes this should work with YOUR ROM, whatever that is you have.. seems to be pretty universal now...
here is the link to the main thread, with all credits going to the guys in the desire forum:

I tried it, but all my gapps were continuously FCing so I had to nandroid back. I might try it again without notification settings (I only did part of those, so maybe that screwed it up).

are u installing this over a current theme?? are u adding any transparencies in the notification bar? what rom are u using? i've had the gapps FC before with this, but got everything worked out to where everything works perfect now..

I'm guessing CM 6 comes with a theme.. so I'm gonna say yes. I didn't make anything transparent, but I only did settings for part of the notification window.
What sucks now is that I nandroided back to a backup I made earlier today and it made everything like I just flashed CM 6 but LauncherPro kept FCing.. trying to nandroid again. :\
Edit: Can I choose sense icons without having a sense rom? If not, that's probably my problem.

sense icons are fine... i've used them before..
try this, flash cm6 again (do not wipe) just flash the same one ur using again.. then flash ur theme u made.. (do not flash gapps again).. then reboot

If I remember that kitchen gave me issues a whole back with the rs folders... open your apk and look in the res folder check to see if v4 was appended to any of the drawable folders, if so delete the v4 part in the name and resign it.

Confirmed working on CM6RC1... Although not much in the way of theaming very limited but cool non the same. Very easy to use even for the beginner. What it changes should be pretty universal as long as you pay attention and choose the correct android version.

I'll try this when I get my new sdcard in the mail. Not much room to work with right now and I don't need my apps all messed up again if it doesn't work. Just gotta remember to take my WoW Authenticator off my account before messing with it, two hours on hold was not fun this morning!

I don't even know how to open an apk..

Used this to get the circle battery with CM 6.1 RC1, my only issue is that now it displays a big "Roaming Indicator On" on my lockscreen (where the "Sprint" would usually be), and the roaming triangle is showing up in the taskbar (even though I'm like 98% sure I'm NOT roaming). Anyone have a suggestion of how to get rid of this? Maybe something I did in the process of cooking up the zip? All I want is the stock CM6 pulldown/notification bar with the circle battery, and also have the option to turn off the power control widget in the pulldown.

It worked. If anyone has the same issue, make sure you pull the framework-res.apk from your ROM and upload it when it asks you to.
Sprint said no Froyo for Hero, I said eff that.

I've been toying around with it today, trying to do a couple header and footer tweaks the easy way! But everytime I've gotten to the end I choose my file to upload. It just sits there, won't let me hit next, and don't see an actual upload button. Oh well, I'll find another way to tweak up aospMOD.
EDIT: Firefox issues.

The issue comes from, I believe the ROM loaded on the site is actually from a GSM, so yeah, uploading the one right from your ROM works wonders.

So finally after reading page 2 of this I got it to work, lol. I was using the framework from the site, once I uploaded mine it worked! Although I chose to change my icons and that didnt happen, anyone else get this problem? Not to big of deal, the main thing I wanted was circle battery

sometimes its easy to overlook a unticked box... once you've generated the icons you need to make sure that you have checked off that section.. its easy to forget to tick a box that you already generated, i've done it numerous times

I did it again and this time I checked the "include icons" and chose G4 blue sense 3D. Again they didnt show up This time what happened was my icons that were blue tinted (running Extremely Blue) turned white. Same stock icons, just white instead of the blue tinted ones. Can I use the sense icons?
Thanks
If it makes a difference I also selected the white notification bar icons as well, H1 DeFrost.

That was it, only chose the G4 blue sense 3D this time and it worked perfect! Now I need to do it again as there are a few I dont care for and would rather have my blue tinted ones, like signal bars

Now I got it looking BAD-A$$!!
Question,
When attempting to modify the Status bar notification I dont get to see the progress I am making. It looks like the Kitchen is supposed to let me see what each mod will look like as I change things, shouldnt that checkered area to the right of status bar mod settings show a preview of what I a doing, while I do it?
EDIT>>>>> Nevermind, I found to click generate at the bottom of page
Thanks

Alright so I redid my phone last night (starting from scratch when I know a little more about this stuff is good ) and tried this again, got the circle battery mod and the status bar icons and it works great!
If it helps anyone, I uploaded my framework this time instead of choosing from the list.

[Resolved] [Q] Android 2.2 Add Widget Screen Question

A ridiculously stupid question but one that is annoying me none the less. Can anyone tell me why when in this video the guy adds a widget only the widget itself comes up with a 2ndary screen for the options & not all options? ie. You have to press Desktop Visualizer to get all available options. Mine (Legend w/ Stock 2.2) just shows all options which makes it very cluttered. Any help appreciated.

Is this what you're looking for? I saw your post on UltraLinx.

GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Thanks man

Yeah, no problem.

FYI - while this installed no problem and did exactly what it was meant to it keeps Force Closing all the time. It turns out from reading the thread for the App that you have to move the app to /system/apps rather than install. To do this you obviously need Root access (which I don't have). I'm assuming this is the issue. Thanks anyway!

Yes, you have to place it in /system/app. I assumed you were rooted. It doesn't force close at all once it's moved to the proper location and everything. Have you considered rooting? I've been rooted for a quite a while and it opens up a whole new world for you.

Since I've started customizing I've certainly being 'tied down' by the fact that I'm not rooted but rooting for the Legend with 2.2 is not easy as you have to downgrade the ROM. To be honest other than having it for this & WidgetLocker customizing I'm not really that anxious to do it. Plus I haven't a fricking clue either!

Yeah, I know what you mean. They haven't created a root for the Legend running 2.2? Haha yeah, I had no idea what rooting really even was when I did it, I just wanted it. Especially after 2.2, my phone got...so...slow. It was ridiculous. I didn't know there were two recoveries either.

[Req]Wallpaper in Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

I had this request a while back and it seems to have died off. Basically I was wondering if the fantastic developers here can figure out a way to get the wallpaper to show on the pattern, pin, or password lockscreen. Right now it is simply black and I think it doesn't look that good. Not a huge issue but one I'm sure can be solved. Here is what seo said about the issue over at his original thread.
"pattern/sim/password unlock black background instead of yours. please don't ask . I will not f*** up the entire android.policy trying to fix "just a background". live with it"
I know this would be extremely useful to a great deal of rom developers so please take consideration. Also I don't know if this is in the right section so mods please move it if you would like. Screenshot below.

I would like this to but i believe this belongs in the themes thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I honestly think this should be in development because there is going to have to be some manipulation of system files. I believe when you are manipulating images it should be within themes. This is not a theme but more of a modification that would be extremely useful to a ton of people. Can some developer please jump on this I would def donate.

This doesn't belong in this FORUM...bla bla bla!
Good idea though...even though I don't use that pattern lockscreen.

[Q] SKY ICS update 7 missing "select input method"

Hello,
Has anyone noticed that you no longer have the "select input method" notification in update 7? I had it in update 4. When I went over to update 7 (and subsequently 8), that option is missing. So the only way to change input method is to go all the way into settings. The notification is available after the base zx install, but the update wipes it out. Is there a simple setting somewhere to turn it back on? I searched in this and the dev forums and cannot find it.
Otherwise it's a great ROM. Thanks dev!

This is a one time thing. U don't change input method all the time on the fly. It is a bug none the less, but one that may only bother a select few users... maybe only u

Did the dev explicitly say that? GB was long press in the input part to bring up the option to change input method. I'm pretty sure the notification is ICS's replacement, as the stock Nexus does this. You have to explicitly turn it off in a custom rom. Some kind of shortcut is needed for many many multi-lingual users. I use English most of the time except for a chat app. Don't have to have the notification if bothers others, but a shortcut to bring up the dialog should definitely be available.
seanzscreams, can you please comment? It's a great ROM and thanks.

I get bored easily lol, xda is what keeps me entertained . My current goal is 3000 posts in the next two months and a 500+ thanks meter. Helping people is good

base to update changes a lot
I've noticed that the non-wipe updates on this ROM do change or eliminate some of the cooler features of the base. For instance, the settings in the base have the different colored, more detailed icons, while the update changes them all to boring blue.
As for the input method, I believe that in ICS, you change that under settings, language and input. In ICS, you can choose multiple keyboards or input methods, with one as "default". I haven't experimented yet, but perhaps the option to switch only shows up if you have multiple input methods selected? Can anyone verify this?
I'm new, so I hope this helps...
EDIT: Yeah, I tried checking off three different keyboards, but the long-press feature isn't there. Now I remember the notification bar change in ICS. The only way I can find to change the keyboard in this ROM is to go into settings and change the default. Not too bad of a task, but more tedious than before. There may be some shortcut apps in the play store that could help?

Isnt there an option on your status / menu bar... That's were it is in smooth ice

You'll make that in the next week.......!!

Thanks LPMatt and droid512. I know in most other ICS ROMs, including stock, the standard way to change input method is to use the little icon in the status bar. That's what I meant by "change input method notification". I also know you can always go through settings to change. To go through settings, I would have to get out of the app I'm using and it's a lot of hassle. Dating back to eclaire Android has provided the shortcut (used to be long press until ICS changed it to the notification/status bar). Looks like Sky ICS ROM latest update just disabled a standard feature, either intentionally or unintentionally. While icenight89 is quite knowledgeable in general, I think he's misinformed about the nature of the feature because he doesn't have to use different keyboards for different languages. It is indeed a standard feature in ICS, not a "one time thing" or bug. I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum that's why I posted here to see if any other multi-lingual user of Sky ICS has encountered this. I have also PM'ed the dev.

I'm quite knowledgeable?? Aww shucks, thanks friend.
To be honest, u are absolutely correct, I am not a multi-lingual user so I did not even know this feature was present. Based on the discussion I assume your talking about a quick select shortcut from the drop down menu that let u change ur keyboard on the fly?
If that is so its quite possible and highly likely he disabled it in the latest update, as that feature would be present in either systemui.apk or framework-res.apk, all of which were updated in D-7. My advice? See if u can get D-6 off someone then flash the base, D-6 and then D-8 until he gets around to fixing it

See you just proved your knowledge in pointing out the 2 possible apk that is present I think D-8 probably has a new one so flashing D-6 then D-8 would overwrite it again. I'll see if I can pull those apk's and use rom kitchen to make a new one until he gets around to changing it. Who knows, it's possible he did it on purpose as i have seen people complain about it since ICS came out. Most non-multilingual users find it annoying. I actually do too. I prefer the old long press way! Thanks again.

nope, just checked. He only changed the framework-res.apk in the D-8 update. What i suggest you do is pull systemui.apk from the original base first and replace it with root explorer. If that fixes it then you can safely flash the new update rom kitchen just the one apk.

Got it. Will try. Thanks! How do you check what he changed btw? I've only done the basics in ROM kitchen.

Well tried to put systemUI.apk from zx2 base and didn't work. I guess I'll see if dev will respond or put it back in later. If not, I'll have to decide if the hassle is worth it or change to another ROM. Thanks everyone.

Question about 4G icon

Regards
I'm new around here, spend a lot of reading and a lot use the search box to solve problems, but this time search and did not find any answer to my problem, I have a One XL, to actualize what rom 4.2.2 with Reduced cleanstrip says right here, you delete some apps and change a few other things but I can not do is remove the icon from 4G next to the signal bars, I remember in the cleanroom to install instead of 4G I went out H + and only when activated data mobile, whereas the 4G icon stays active even without active mobile data, I would like to know that I have to edit to remove that annoying icon.
PD. sorry for my English, I'm from Costa Rica and my native language is Spanish.

Hey RZumbado!
I'm not sure about cleanstrip, but Viper 4.0 doesn't have that problem. When you turn off mobile data, the 4g / data icon will go away. The ROM even gives you an option to hide it completely. Unless you're using cleanstrip for a reason, I would try out the new Viper Rom! Hope that helps.
Btw I'm a little aghast to find this thread under Development when it should be under the Q/A section . Hopefully a mod will move it.

That's because the developer has added the at&t icons to the ROM. With at&t icons activated, the data type icon stays visible whether you actually have a mobile data connection or not. If you want to use a 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROM with standard icons there are a couple of others to choose from. I'm running MagioRom right now with the Beastmode kernel and it's great.
PS. Questions always go in the q&a section, not the development section. I'll ask for this thread to be moved for you. In this case you didn't really even need to create a new thread, you should have asked this question in the Cleanstrip ROM thread.

Thanks and sorry for posting in the wrong area, I use the MagioRom but I do not like, will exist any way I can I edit the rom I use actualemente these icons to eliminate him, I have seen that in some phones simply edit the build.prop but I did and still remain.

The AT&T icons are a pain in the butt. Just my opinion, there aren't many modifications in cleanstrip aside from the network icon, that you couldn't just do yourself. My suggestion would be to flash Turge's stock Sense 5 ROM, then remove the T-Mob apps yourself.

it is inn app section a recovery install
