correct me if i'm wrong but i hear that it is possible to change the color of the text in the taskbar now for 2.1 roms?
with that in mind, i would LOVE to had a white taskbar with black text just like in an aosp rom for DC v1
thank you in advance :]
check the themes thread
i did and there was this guy (sorry i dont remember his name) and he had the services.jar, framework-res.apk, and the com.htc.resources.apk and when i pushed it to my phone (DC v1) i would freeze on boot :/
EDIT: i realized you have to be on the legend rom for it to work. it booted but it didnt work :/ can anyone please upload a update zip for me?
sorry..
but can anyone help me out?
yeah, i'd love this too!

ily guys

could someone PLEASE help?
Hope this is ok being posted here jus tryna get this thread out to get help with my guide on (THEMING ) a rom. i figured it was cool to because the rom i am using to customize in my guide is a cm 507 test 5 rom and devs traffic through all day long world wide.so forgive the mistake if misplaced.
hi names b6gsix and i created a document to be used as a guide or a list of files used to customize a rom. Document Page. By customize i mean only to change the look of a rom to your desire ( THEME ). i recently was told about the " how to create your own custom android rom video " and i watched it installed virtual box, installed kitchen, edited rom,signed and flashed ( NOTE TO NOOBS THAT VIDEO DOESNT SHOW HOW TO MAKE AN ACTUAL ROM ). My thing was i wanted to do more to the rom, i wanted to add my own default wallpaper and a different app drawer tab and launcher and i wanted to add the black notification bar to my rom and add desired custom icons. But the kitchen in virtual boxes ubuntu wasnt cutting it. it only allowed very basic/limited options as far as customizing a rom.
so i began a search to learn what i needed. then a couple days ago i pm'd a couple a members here on xda and asked how do i do this and i obtained some pretty good information on how to do these things ( my rom came out f'd up still cause i got to adding all types of stuff to it lol ). but the answers i got along with my special-ed rom mishap (which did flash but was jus so all over the place looking) inspired me to find out more about how to fully theme a rom.
Most forums or threads i came across were piled up with info on top of info so much that it scared me from even tryna learn what to do. so believe me when i say i plan to make this a [GUIDE FOR NOOBS LIKE ME] lol. ( BY USING SEARCH TYPE" HOW TO USE METAMORPH " FOR A EXCELLENT GUIDE ON THAT METHOD ) and goto youtube and search for emogamer's how to use metamorph video.
Anyways i talked enough i think i hope all devs/mod's/ppl of knowledge contribute to the next generation of android devs or themers at least lol.
So, you want to make a community rom? The title says "How to create a fully custom rom" but I don't see any guide here just something about wanting to make one. Why make a guide if you can't even cook a rom yourself?

Sounds like hes talking about theming, "change launcher" and all that other stuff.
well i appologize if not using the correct terms but im looking to take the cm5 rom and add my touches to it ( ex: wallpaper icons launcher font colors ) make it my cm5 rom.
and my purpose for posting it was so that members with experience and knowledge could help the new comers to g1 developement learn how to theme or customize there rom.
also i had watch a video on theunlockr com and it was suppose to show me how to create my custom rom in ubuntus android kitchen. but it was so so so limited as far as functionality and options. so i set to find out how to actually change the look. cause i like darkstars notification bar with the gray icon color and battery and his black pop up box outline with the text box white background u kno jus rndom parts from different roms i flash on the regular.
i think thats why i flash roms is because of the special feature that one has or a certain look of a certain part u kno lol
please help pleaseeeee help thanks

You can only have 1 def wallpaper, you can't have 2 def launchers, one would be secondary launcher. You can put pics on your sd in a folder called pictures or wallpapers too.
i posted the rom that i somewhat customized please check it out and tell where i f'd up at anyone

LOL, thanks for taking my comment in stride. What I was really getting at is maybe you just need to edit the title a little to reflect what you are really trying to do.

Look, dude the reason why some people are bashing you is because you're making a guide when you, yourself, do not know how to make a cooked rom yourself. You even said it yourself. This should go in Q&A as this is just a re-worded question disguised as an guide IMO.

All roms have a bunch of walls, but the launcher has a smaller mem footprint when there are no inc walls.You would need to rebuild your own launcher based on cyan's.
