Cyanogen 7.1.0 Final ColorMOD + Nightlies
I have spent several hours/days/weeks compiling a simple yet powerfully awesome ColorMOD for Cyanogen7. I would not call this a "Theme" by any stretch of the imagination as all I wanted was some gosh-darned COLOR in my ROM aside from the puke-green of Gingerbread.
I pulled icons from about 7 different theme-packs, I edited a crapton of them in photoshop, and some of them I made myself. I did *NOT* add color icons to the google apps for several reasons, the largest of which is that modifying them can cause them to not update.
If you see any glitches, or an icon I missed please holler at me here and I will fix it immediately. I try to stay on top of the nightly builds as best I can but whatever.
I started this MOD as a request from a friend of mine, and figured it was really nice and maybe some of you out there would like to run it.
I am seriously struggling with the new Theme engine, so this is a .zip flashable that overwrites your default system theme. Other theme packs will of course still work perfectly.

I've been making changes slowly and subtly but I figured it was high and time to make a change-log seeing as I plan to keep this updated due to its popularity.
Changelog:
Added color birthday icon & changed the profile icon when holding down power button (the other one looked out of place)
Added colored icon for the screenshot option when holding down the power button
Changed the vertical color bar from yucky orange to awesome BLUE~!
Updated the WiFi Icon, embossed & changed the single dot to RED when theres no signal
Updated the 4G Icon in the notification bar with ones made by member "Vegasden"
Updated the system Font from ubuntu10.10 to ubuntu, makes scrolling text less laggy and looks the same
Updated window animations to the "Fly-IN" method. Very smooth, very cool.
To Do:
Make the notifications in the drop-down bar transparent (looks like butthole, gonna try and just inverse the colors)
Convert what I can to a theme manager .apk file (WIP, maybe never, Im having issues/lack of help)
And Finally, the Download

TUTORIAL
===========================================================
If you want to modify this theme, use its pictures, make your own themes, distribute whatever, here is my "method" for creating this color modification. Download the files below and lets play "follow-along"
Android "Auto-Sign" Tool
http://www.soulpirates.info/downloads/android_autosign.zip
ColorMOD Template Package
http://www.soulpirates.info/downloads/Cyanogen7_ColorMOD_Template.rar
Open this webpage in a browser
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Download the version of Cyanogen you wish to modify
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
Download the last previous version of the ColorMOD
Links above
Know how to use Adobe Photoshop
Have a good zip program for opening .apk files (I use 7zip)
_
Step 1:
Download & Extract the latest Cyanogen ROM to a folder on your computer
Download & Extract the latest ColorMOD to a folder on your computer
Download & Extract the Cyanogen7_ColorMOD_Template to a folder on your computer
Step 2:
Rename the ColorMOD folder to reflect the new version number i.e. rename "Cyanogen7-rc4_ColorMOD(stock)" ~> "Cyanogen7-n36_ColorMOD(stock)"
Open folder from the latest ROM & the latest ColorMOD side-by-side
Navigate down to the \system\app folder on both
Notice that the ROM has several dozen apk files, and the ColorMOD has only 5
In the ROM folder, grab the 5 .apk files that you see in the ColorMOD folder
Contacts.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
SystemUI.apk
Move them into the ColorMOD folder overwriting the 5 that are in there, this way you have the latest versions of them directly from the ROM
Step 3:
Navigate both folders to \system\framework
Open the website
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Navigate to the "File Upload" tab
Under "framework-res.apk"
Choose "Select File"
Upload the "framework-res.apk" from the ROM folder
You will now see a progress bar that it is uploading
When it says "Complete"
Click on the tab that says "Windows Animation"
For ColorMOD I use "Flying"
Check the box that says "Use this mod" and click the radio button that says "Flying"
Click on the tab that says "Battery"
Check "Use this mod"
Click on the option that says "SCB with %"
This allows you to use 1% battery increments
Pick ANY option, it doesnt matter, we will be overwriting the battery image files anyways
Click on "Summary" Tab
You will now see three items in green
-Battery
-Windows Animation
-File upload
Click on "Submit work to kitchen" and wait approx 10 minutes.
It will now prepare the framework-res.apk for you that you will be using for the finishing touches on the ColorMOD. You use this kitchen because it prepares all of the REALLY hard stuff for you, such as editing XML files to allow 1% battery and flying in window animations. You can actually just save the xml files it modifies and use them going forward so your not impacting the website, but for this tutorial were going through all the steps from scratch.
Step 4:
Download the file you just "cooked" and save it into your working folder
Open the zip file, it will start with UOT, and extract the framework-res.apk file from it
Now take the "framework-res.apk" file, and OVERWRITE the one in your ColorMOD folder in \system\framework
Step 5:
You are now ready to overwrite the stock image files (nasty green piles of puke) with your beautiful and glorious colorized ones.
Most of this has been prepped for you so it is now SUPER easy. Getting the apk files over and the framework prepared are the hard parts. Now its really just a matter of drag/drop.
Open the ColorMOD template folder side-by-side to the working ColorMOD folder
You will notice that in the \system\app folder you have .apk files that match the FOLDER names in the template folder
Now, simply open the .apk file (I use 7zip), and its corresponding folder in the template
Drag and drop, overwriting all the files when it prompts you
Once you have done that for all of the .apk files in \system\app
Open the \system\framework folder and repeat the same process
Step 6:
You have now replaced every puke-green picture and black & white nonsense with glorious color
Now you need to zip it, sign it, and flash it. Ill show you how to customize it a little bit first
-Close all your folders now except the ColorMOD folder, you are done with the ROM and Template now.
Go to the root so all you see is "META-INF" & "system"
Dig all the way down to \Cyanogen7-n36_ColorMOD(stock)\META-INF\com\google\android
Open the "updater-script" file (I use notepad2)
This should look familiar. Its where you can customize the messages that are played out while flashing the zip file
I shouldnt have to tell you, but dont F*CK with the stuff that doesnt say "ui_print" You have probrably flashed this enough times to know what shows up on the screen and what doesnt. The stuff that doesnt show up, is the stuff that is actually telling the system how to flash the zip file. Anyways, change it up a little, remove my name, put your own ascii art in there, do whatever you want - save/close
You may have also noticed some extra folders in there that we didnt discuss here, "fonts" & "media" ~> Well open them up, the fonts is what replaces your system font with ubuntu10 font, and media is where the bootanimation is located, as well as a few ringtones/notifications I put onto your phone when you flash. You can replace the files in here with whatever you want, add your own bootanimation, dump some ringtones, change the system font etc. When your all done having fun...
-Head back to the root folder so all you see is "META-INF" & "system"
select both folders and zip them up like so
Step 7:
IMPORTANT
-Do NOT flash this if you have modified ANYTHING in the TEMPLATE!!! (This includes ringtones/notifications/etc)
IMPORTANT
You can technically now flash this file, it is signed and ready to go, however, if you modified ANYTHING from the template at all you need to re-sign the file. Signing the file generates a "manifest" of every file that is included in the archive, if you add or remove a file, you need to resign the archive or it will completely bork on install.
To sign files easily, you MUST have the android-sdk installed, I would assume that most of you have this but if not download and install it.
Extract the auto-sign file you downloaded from the top and put the files in the \android\tools folder (android being the folder of your sdk installation)
You will see a beautiful and wonderful .bat file called autosign.bat -YAY!
Move your .zip file to a location that has ZERO spaces in the path. If you have a space the bat file will hang and freeze
To make things easy just put it on the root of your c: drive or something and make sure the zip file name has ZERO spaces
Double check that the patch and file name has ZERO spaces, if your not sure, put it on the root of the c drive and name the file like "a.zip"
Open the autosign.bat file
Choose option (4) Sign files manually
now type the path of your colormod, for example c:\a.zip
Hit enter
If it reads
File signed successfully if no Errors above.
Your good
Step 8:
Copy the zip file to your phone and flash it
Your a god-damned champ! Pat yourself on the back.
Looks like a winner to me! Ty for sharing.

This is Specifically for Nightly 22 (I put that at the very top of the post)
You will need to re-flash rc1, or I would HIGHLY reccomend moving to nightly 22 as it fixes several issues like the gps/wifi/hotspot/ and misc kernel fixes.
here is a link to nightly22, once you flash that it should boot up fine (remember to wipe your cache before upgrading.... no need to wipe data though).
Once you boot up fine, THEN reflash the colormod and you will be happy!!!
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
NOTE: if you want to stay on RC1 for whatever reason, just download the RC1 mixer theme from this thread, it should get you out of your bootloop

Like i said, I made the theme for a friend, that is the sword in the forest from zelda game series.
I can darken it up quite a bit or remove it all togethor and do a dark gradient for everyone here. Ill post up some pics later and see what everyone likes.

The screenshots are hosted on my website but I can dump them over to photobucket if anyone else is having issues.

Oh and one final thing, the battery only ticks off in increments of 5. I wouldnt mind doing 1% ticks but I dont know how to edit the .xml files that control how often it pulls the battery image. If any of you have insight, well.... awesome! Drop me a PM.
Anyways heres the snaps, download will be attached at the bottom.

Will there be a theme chooser apk?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Waiting for the update for nightly 26! You can probably flash the .zip for 25 over it I assume but I will wait for the new .zip. really does look great, maybe try getting in touch with the developer of the honeybread theme to get your theme into theme chooser!!
Seems like a dirty version of the mixer theme...
Looks great. I like how it isn't overpowering yet you changed enough things that it sticks out in a clean detailed way.

Updated to nightly 26
Yes, I did borrow from Mixer, some from Urban, some from a cm6 mod in their hack forum called "colorized". I photoshopped up all the stuff that was still orange, to the blues on "Hue change" (dark blue is +175 and light blue is +155). I also had an old color icon pack on my computer Scramble that I took some from. And a few I just took the b/w versions, embossed them in photoshop, then changed them to RGB color and hue shifted them till i got the color I was looking for. Its not a unique work to be sure, but I think that its a nice blending of the many themes found here on XDA. I did add some noticeable "personalized" touches, like the zelda themed call screen and the bootanimation. I even snuck in some rings/notification sounds if you didnt notice. But overall Im happy with it.
Thank you for the feedback, im glad you are all finding it as useful as me.
Once the final revision of Cyanogen 7 releases, I am going to post up the template Im working from and a quick & dirty "how-to" so you guys can all tweak and modify it however you like.
Also, I spoke with the gentlemen that makes the mixer theme, and he pointed me to a site that is helping me get the 1% battery increments implemented so stay tuned for that!
I would like the change the fonts (if possible), on my lockscreen clock, battery indicator, and possibly some fonts on my calwidget and beautiful widgets clock/weather widget.
Is this possible?
Let's say I find a font pack I like, called "coolfont.ttf". How would I go about doing this?
Ok, I found an app called fontchanger that works well...I only need to find fonts online and add them to the folder.
But the lockscreen clock in CM7 isn't affected. Anyone know how to change that font?
involves rooting and using a root file explorer app (ie root explorer)
yes, but does require root and TrueType fonts (ie .TTF). i personally use the Unique.ttf from Apple's Mac OS X SL and love it. has a futuristic but readable look.
System fonts are located here:
/system/fonts
I just rename the unique.ttf font to SansDroid.ttf (this is the main default system font thats used throughout the android ui). I rename the original one w/a .orig file extension before doing this. Bad fonts can cause boot loops and in turn you will have to boot to recovery mode and then use ADB Shell command to rename the original system font back or push it if you copy from your device.

Hey SeaMonkey,
Where do I find the Unique.ttf?? I really like that look on your screenshots
I use Absolute System to change fonts. There are like 1000 fonts to choose from and you don't have to do any work. Just choose the font, reboot and there it is. Love it.

Yes, can you either upload the Unique.ttf font for us, or point us in the right direction of where we can download it? I really like that font, but can't find it anywhere.
MMAPCPRO,
After a pretty good deal of searching many of the free font sites, I'm with you.
Any help or hints, or a zipped up .ttf file would sure help on this one.
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to change the overscrolling effect? It would be best if I could have the stock ICS effect.
I'm using Slim ICS - ROM. Until a few Minutes I had the stock ICS overscrolling effect, but (I don't know how) it changed to something like a very ugly orange bar or stripe with a '+' at its center...
The last thing I could remember to flash was the new matr1x kernel...
(Of course it doesn't have to be the stock overscrolling effect if you have a better one )
What you need to do to change the overscroll is go I to root explorer, system file and copy the framework apk. Paste it to your SD card. Connect to PC and pull the file onto your comp. Download apk manager and copy file to the " to be edited folder" extract apk. Color anything you want with paint.net. go back Into tthe script for apk manager and hit "3". Apk rezips. DO NOT SIGN APK. then copy the modded apk to SD. Reverse first couple steps and replace framework apk in the system/framework file. Reboot and you just themed your first apk.... a lot easier than it sounds

PS... DO NOT TOUCH THE FILES THAT END IN. ".9"

If you have the apk manager could you please upload it and send me the link? I only found megaupload links... and i think you know that megaupload is down...
EDIT: I found it... but now I have a much bigger problem: I just realized that many Images are wrong. example: The USB-Debugging image is now the same image as on the notification when a wifi network was found...

Hi all,
This is a little CM9 gift for ur GB ROMS!
To have a look! how it looks click here for video!
WATCH VIDEO
DOWNLOAD(bootanim.zip)
Installation instructions:
1.Download the file.
2.Rename it to bootanimation instead of CM9 bootanimation!(change it to sanim.zip if you are not using UC KERNEL!)
3.Copy it to ur device.
4.Using rootexplorer, replace the original bootanimation.zip(located under /system/media) with the downloaded one.
5.Set permissions to rw-r-r.
6.Reboot and enjoy!

Thank you Rohan...
I am in BAM kernel and I guess people using the same would need to rename the file to bootanimation.zip.
Cheers
Yes! Most of the custom kernels use bootanimation.zip instead of sanim.zip

can it be used on miui? if its possible how can we convert it?
dorukc said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes it is possible. To make it a little easier follow this:
Download my MIUI White Loading Bar Bootanimation for MIUI
That is already a .mtz-Theme file and you don't need to do that much to modify it
Download this bootanimation here and make sure its filename is "bootanimation.zip"
Open the .mtz-Theme with any Archive Extractor like 7-zip or WinRAR
There is a Folder with an bootanimation.zip. If I remember right its name was "bootanimation" Replace the file with yours
There also another folder with some preview images, delete the images so that they won't confuse you
The name of the theme is unimportant to you:
Copy the edited .mtz-Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select "MIUI White Loading Bar"
If you also want to change the name of the Theme:
At the root of the .mtz-Theme there is a File with the theme description, extract that, cause you will need to edit it.
There are three attributes: the name, author and version of the theme. Edit them as you like. e.g. "Galaxy SII Bootanimation, Samsung, 1.0"
Save and replace the edited file with the on in the .mtz-Theme
Copy the edited .mtz Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select the theme with the name you have given it.

There are three attributes: the name, author and version of the theme. Edit them as you like. e.g. "Galaxy SII Bootanimation, Samsung, 1.0"
Save and replace the edited file with the on in the .mtz-Theme
Copy the edited .mtz Theme to /sdcard/MIUI/theme/
Open the theme chooser in your settings.
At the lower screen you can open the theme settings, do that.
Select Bootanimation and select the theme with the name you have given it.

Well normally MIUI is able to display Bootanimations that are saved as JPEG. I did it with my bootanimation and it worked. Unfortunately I'm currently on CM9 Alpha3 v2, so I am not able to test anything if I would try to build a .mtz Package for you.
Thanks
Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.
Awesome boot animation! Great work + great share!
Very nice.
Thank you! This looks awesome on my phone.
downloading and testing
if this worked for you please post what device you have so we can make this thread a sticky
YOU NEED ROOT
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED OR BOOT LOOPED DEVICES, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP AND BE SURE TO HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR ANY POSSIBLE ERROR
This changes system emojis and stock Samsung Keyboard to or any keyboard Works best with Google Keyboard
made a how to video https://youtu.be/UyzyNXVBgrQ
1) Download Emoji Switcher from playstore and download the emoji you whant to be on the system (aplying the emojis wont work).
2) Download root explorer or any file manager with root. ( i preferr Root Explorer because thats the one i have) Root Explorer: https://mega.nz/#!0dMzFTpK!cn6wlZlXxxhA5zS_O5t9Db_B0ede9YZpndJT8CxieFI
3) Go to data/data/com.stevenchoen.emojiswitcher/files/emojisets/ and here are the emojis you downloaded, now copy the one you whant.
4) now open the storage or system tab on top, on root explorer you should have two tabs one for system and one for storage, select the one thats not in the emoji folder you where. Now go to system/fonts/ now open the menu and select " sort order " and select "size" now scroll all the way down and paste the emojis you have copied.
5) Now on samsung we have "NotoColorEmoji.ttf and SamsungColorEmoji.ttf " delete both of them.
6) Rename the emoji you pasted to " NotoColorEmoji.ttf "
7) Now go to the emojis tab and copy again the emoji you copied eralier and pasted in the fonts tab.
8) Now rename that emoji to " SamsungColorEmoji.ttf.
9) Now set permissions to " rw-r-r " to both of them and reboot.
UPDATE: if you whant iphone emojis v3 you will have two files on emojisets folder, just replace the 60mb emojis with NotoColorEmoji.ttf and the 20mb emojis with SamsungColorEmoji.ttf
For other phones ( not samsung )
i really dont know but i guess it have to say emoji in the fonts folder and it suposed to be the last 2 files on the font folder since we sort it by size.
feel free to post the fonts and device you have so i or others could help you

here but u did sign up just to personally thank you. As I updated to 6.01 I noticed emoji switcher wasn't working. I absolutely hate the Android Samsung emoji. I followed your tutorial and it's very n00b friendly. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me out man. I would never personally thank someone by signing up to a site I don't use. Well done and can someone sticky this, it deserves recognition and is a major help to the Android community.

technically yes but why do you want an outdated emoji unicode?
