The reason I've been slower at posting requests lately is about to come clear!
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit
URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: now offline, sorry
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: now offline, sorry
Current feature list / changelog:
Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.
Choose any of my current backgrounds
Choose any of my current primary/function key styles
Choose any of my current "symbol sets"
Choose any of my current space bar logo/images
Upload your own spacebar logo
Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters
Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)
Choose any color for background image
Preview keyboard before generating it
Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated
Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated
Choose any color for symbol sets
Added lowres kitchen
Added option to choose between 1.5 only and 1.6+ low res versions in low res kitchen.
Added v25 froyo version.
Added all v26 versions to kitchen!
Added all v27 versions to kitchen!
Added v27-froyo lowres version to kitchen!
New option: Create your own primary/function keys is FINALLY here!
Pre-themed/Pre-built skinned keyboards.
Custom skins for Jonasl's HTC_IME high res.
These are signed with the exact same certificate that jonasl uses so if you can install his, you can install these and go back and forth with no problem.
These are no longer flashable update.zip files, all you need to do is download the zip file, extract the HTC_IME_hi.apk to your sd card and install with a file manager (linda, or something that supports reinstalling for future installs).
Special note, if you have not already installed v22 or higher, I highly suggest you read Jonasl's thread here for important information regarding this keyboard. You will need to re-enable and completely reconfigure this keyboard after installing (only if you haven't already done v22+).
One last note, there is a new hi res Clicker.apk available too. I have not included it in these downloads, you will need to get that from the official HTC_IME Mod download if you haven't already! Update: or get it here -> Clicker_hi.zip
v24 links removed because v25 is now available in the kitchen, screenshots represent some of the many themes you can create there!
Thankyou so much all working perfectly !
Oh thanks for this, I definetly don't like Metamorph - so this was a life saver. Well not really a life saver, more like a life enhancer lol..
Great job thanks .
I know this is an htc forum but is there any way you can throw an update.zip of v18 for us droid users? The candidate bar is broken on v19 for droid but it worked on 18... if you can do it would you make it the black with white text theme? This would be much appreciated! Keep up the great work!

Sure thing, I don't want to maintain to many old versions going forward, but this one is the most frequently downloaded one, and it sounds like Jonasl isn't going to get us a new version real soon (i could be mistaken tho).
I'll try to get it posted here in the next 30 mins or so.

Actually im a fool... with the candidate bar on v19 you can long press and dragit to the correct position so don't bother. I read This aafter I posted and gave it a try and voila. Seems like a lot of Droid users didn't read the entire OP like me. Thanks for the quick response. Hope I caught you before you wasted any time!

Hahah I almost suggested you try that, but wasn't sure if this was different bug.
Glad you got it sorted, no time wasted here!
I'm still having problems with installing the themes...I tried all 3 methods you posted, everything installed with no problems or errors...however, when I go to a text screen (sms, for example) I click on the input area and the keyboard just doesn't pop up at all, nothing. Any explanation for this? I don't understand why I can't get this to install properly. I'm convinced it has to do with my rom, jrummy's desire remix on koush's cyanogenmod

It must. Have you been able to install the un-themed keyboard from Jonasl? If that is the case, I have absolutely no idea why these wouldn't work. They are identical to the APKs he produces just with my theme changes.
These themed versions work like a charm on stock N1.
I extracted the APK, installed with ASTRO. Just to be safe, I uninstalled previous version.

Which install method did you try????
For stock I would recommend option 3 with astro file manager or similar.
I used option 3 with astro go to choose input method and it only gives me android keyboard option ? rebooted phone too just to make sure .
Thanks bro for the update.zip. I had almost given up on flashing the penguins skin as I could not get MM to do it no matter what I tried. Anyway this method worked. Have the keyboard themed with penguins.
quick question: if I install a new ROM and wipe data prior to that will I have to apply this again? If so can I do this directly without installing the orginal HTC keyboard? Thanks again.

I *think* either on stock firmware and/or first time you run it you have to actually enable it first. Try going to settings, language and keyboard, and see if you have touch input that you can either check mark to enable or go into for settings, then try to set it as your input type.

Yes you will have to apply it again, and yes you can go straight to my pre-themed keyboards (by flashing, pushing, installing, however you want!).
that did it thanks very much
Works great! Thank you.
the evo didn't really have any special screen transitions when i was using fresh .3, and compared to what i had when i was using the hero, it was a little bland. i had a few spare minutes today so i downloaded the darkstar theme at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589409 (which is, by the way, a really cool theme) and just ported over the transitions. there was a darkstar theme that was ported to the hero but i don't have the time to port the entire theme. i just thought that the next best thing was to do the transitions
so here it is. it's all just eye candy. changes to what you get on the evo right now?
- clicking menu has the menu screen fade in
- transitions in apps like facebook, twitter, settings, etc. has your windows fly up and the new window fly down
- other things that are really cool
give it a try. make sure you back up your framework-res.apk though, or just take it from a rom.
just push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework. code for this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push <directory where you downloaded the apk to> /system/framework
credits are, of course, the people who made the darkstar theme. i just transferred files to an apk.
hope you like it!
edit: i just realized i posted this in the wrong section. if a mod could please move this to the themes/apps section please?
it worked but something strange happened i had to reenter my account gmail facebook twitter ... and it kinda messed my lock screen a tad
Hmm... I didn't have any problems with entering my account info, but I just noticed the locksceen thing. The partially transparent rectangle right? Weird... I honestly don't know what would cause that. I didn't even see it though.
So i have Aloysiu's rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361) which is based off of fresh .03 you think there might be any problems if i flash this?
Any way to do this via terminal?
Update:
This theme isn't to popular but I promised some people a cm6 final version, so here it is.
Ok so this theme is an old theme I ported over from 1.6, I had noticed a lack of lighter themes around here and I know everyones a fan of Tux. I themed most of the icons that had the Droid in them and replaced them with some Tux icons. If there are some others icons with the droid face that I missed and you want them changed I'll try and hook that up.
Special thanks to (updated):
Nebrada for the great plastic theme(http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=562283)

I would most certainly love to make a splash screen. I thought about changing the start splash but Cyanogen and the teamwork so hard I didn't want to take anything away from them.

so I made a .rar and changed the ext to .zip but did it manually try it now, or use win rar on the original.
Nice work, those icons are great! love the splash screen!
The android is still on the market app. If you could put Tux on the planet for the browser or something and have him popping out of the envelope for the gmail icon that would be mucho cool
just an idea though.
Do I just flash the splash?

The splash needs to be booted through fastboot and you'll need a eng spl. There's a good post just above mine on how to do it.
I didn't do the market cause of it being part of the google apps but I'll work on that one (the icon style makes in hard to alter since I don't have the layers). Consider the others done I'll post them tomorrow.
Sweet beans
And makes sense.
Very cool working with feed back and all.

Can this be flash to Tmobile.? I know it a dum question but I want to know.
Im pretty sure this wont work for vzw tab...poked around in the files,most of the changed images are in framework/res/hdpi-v4. The path on vzw tab is framework/res/hdpi. Anyway,it was enough to scare me off. Could you tell me where those 1% increments are? Im thinking maybe battery-status.xml?I wanna pull the control file and the png's and push em into framework. Tia.
Screenshots? Also, the -v4 just means it's been decompiled.
Guys guys guys... -v4 is ok... Will work fine! lol
I am sure the framework is the same across the board. Nothing is really any different than any other 2.2 devices. No special renaming. The battery mod is a change in the battery and battery charging xml file. Instead of a img matched to a value every 20% (stock) this will display an img for every value. 205 or 125 images. In the Glass theme I have an img for every value for charging as well so it has 205 images. If you are at 22%, it will say 22% in the battery Icon. AND... This will not drain your battery any faster. This is a active Battery % Display for the Stock Icon.
Soon I will have a full Battery Mod thread with a ton of different Icons and the xmls for those who wanna use it. : )
I'm using Glass with the Magic Smoke Live Wallpaper, Looks so awesome. You must check it out. I have pics already but I'll post more and a video.
Try it!!!

Ahhh....gotcha. yeah,I noticed I got a -v4 on the end after I've used the s.c. online kitchen. Any way,recovery still exits with an error when I try to flash on vzw tab. Could it be that string in the assert command in the updater sscript? Thanks for the heads up on the XML...it got me there.

The battery mods, particularly Mod #2, are nice. If I apply the images via MM into the drawable-hdpi folder, predictably it only picks up the twenty percent level ones. If I add the two XML files to the MM in the drawable folder (I used the 125 version) none of the images show up. I'm familiar with basic image replacement, but not with replacing the XML files. Is this something that would require an update.zip rather than MM?

Sorry man, I only have a sprint tab. I'll look into it more, Maybe I'll build it from each framework to make it work for all.
Nah, I was using Metamorph, which works fine for the PNGs, but somehow when it replaces the XML files in the drawables directory the battery status stops showing up altogether. I didn't have a lot of time to experiment though, so I wound up just restoring from nandroid backup. I know it must be replacing the right files, because if I run Metamorph without the XML files it perfectly places the new images, and the notification bar picks it up for the existing battery increments. If I add the XML files it winds up with a blank area where the battery status go. I'm assuming it's one of three things: MM having trouble replacing the XML files and busting something; or there's something specific to the VZW version that doesn't like one or more elments in the XML; somewhere along the lines of pulling the two XML files out of your .zip and putting them in the new .zip changed some kind of formatting (DOS v Unix linebreaks, dunno). At any rate, I can use the images easily for the 0,10,15,20,40... increments, but can't easily update the XML files with MM at the moment. I might look into doing an update.zip.
The reason I'd prefer MM for just picking up changes like battery status images, is that I don't have to worry about the framework matching, it'll just replace the files in my existing framework, so it's usually quick and dirty.
Can you see if we can get a Sprint Only Galaxy Tab Forum
Since you are a developer, Can you PLEASE look into getting the Sprint Galaxy Tab its own spot? All this Euro AT&T TMobile Galaxy Tab stuff is getting on my nerves. They need a GSM Only and a CDMA Only Tab Forum. It's too damn confusing. Appreciate it! Thx
Hi
I watched the video of the theme and at the begining you touch the upper left corner of the screen to wake up the tab. I am new to android phones and it is maybe stupid question but how to do it without pressing power-on button?

The power button is in the upper left in the video. As his thumb is at the top of the screen one of his fingers is pressing the power button. No magic swipe, sorry.

Also on the battery icon mods. Are those CWM zip flashes or are they simply uncompress in a file mgr? If the flash style, if you don't like them is there an "undo"?

Don't quite understand what you're asking about with the zmods... It's just a zip file that you extract and it has wallpapers and some apps you can use if you like...
The battery mods are cwm flashes that you can flash whenever you want. If you don't like it, flash another 1, doesn't hurt anything. If you want to go back to stock just flash the latest update and it will take you back... If you go to the skyics thread jrockttu posted pics of all the battery mods for everyone to see...

There are two main categories: Crysis and without Crysis. I too did not know what type of icons I would get after a flash so I flashed a few of them. The Crysis will change your signal bar from 4 straight bars to 4 S shaped bars. More shaped like dolphins on it's tail. The big Android will give you an Android battery icon with battery percentage. The others will give you battery icons that are either a circle or like a flower with battery percentage in the middle. Just flash to see what they look like and flash another if you don't like it. I've flashed almost all of them except the stock ones without any problems. I wiped cache prior to flashing.

Hey all...quick question regarding the system name. Before I flashed to SkyICS and even after I flashed the 4.2E base 5, the system name (AT&T or AT&T Microcell) would show up in the notifications screen. Now after the 14-ish update not so much. Is there a setting for this that I am not aware of?

DIal Shortcuts
Gingerbread used to have the concept of dial shortcuts. You could basically put a direct dial icon on your home pages. Seems to be gone. Is that an ICS thing or a Seanz removal thing? OR (more likely) and I just missing it?
Also, the traditional Vol Down + Power or Home Haptic + Volume does not seem to take a screen shot, how do I do that?
Call shortcuts
OK...figured out the screenshot thing. Gotta be super coordinated! (Home Haptic and Power have to be pressed simultaneously for just under a second)
Can someone point me in the right direction for the call shortcut question above? Thanks much.

Using the Apex launcher I press the screen I choose Shortcuts and then select direct dial or direct message. When I use TWUX, open the app drawer and then click the Widgets tab at the top. Select the Direct Dial or Direct message widget from there.
Hope that helps.

Yes sir. Thank you SOOOO much. That was the main thing I didn't like and now I'm all good!
From the Home screen, go to Apps, then select Widgets. Scroll and look for Direct Dial 1 x 1. After placing it, it will open your contacts. Choose one for direct dialing.
Zmods
Im a noob too and i need help how to exactly install zmods. i dont know how to at all. Sorry for being such a noob/:
No install for Zmods, just unzip. ZMods has some utilities for folks a little more familiar with modding and also has a lot of sounds and wallpapers.
