Question + Cool Hint - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

I finally got my computer working again, so I have some questions regarding rom cooking. Would I need permission to use ayOteddy's "Stock [email protected] Deo Rooted" as a base for my roms. And If I really wanna get into this, some recommendations for ideas even if I dont use them?
ALSO. Its well known that we do not really have a soft lanscape keyboard, no matter what keyboard used, right? Well that's wrong. Its been awhile since Ive used this keyboard, I used it on my old Optimus T actually, however, the keyboard known as "Hacker's Keyboard" has an option to always view the landscape keyboard even if a hardware keyboard input is present. Just thought you all would like to know that I figure my little discovery could be useful to you all ^_^ Welcome.
*** One more thing, does anyone know ways I can change the settings options and navigation + links? Like, the Theme Settings space for example?

I actually used KJ2 for TigerFusion without permission. I figured since ay0teddy retired long ago, he would not reply to my PM. I think as long as you give credit to him it should be fine.
I recommend using ASimmons Theme Injector if you want to port over a theme. Just remember that the Sidekick 4G uses hdpi. What I did for Froyo Iced Up was just change one letter in the apk.....the m in mdpi to h. If you don't do this, the result will be a brick. I had to use Odin to flash back to stock....lol.
And remember that the Bali kernel with keylogger removed will only work on KJ2. You can actually extract the zip and copy the contents from the kernel_flasher folder right into the update folder of your kitchen project.
Thanks for the keyboard app recommendation. I'll definitely try it out! Good luck with the rom cooking. :good:

Re: Thanks RicAndroid I was actually gonna theme the rom from each file individually though ^_^ and I could also use some help with another thing. How do I get the extended power menu? 0.0

Hats off to ayoteddy, sduvick, and krylon for the work they did. When all is said and done, those are really the people that pushed things forward and got the Sidekick 4g a couple useful 3rd party kernels.
As I recall, ayoteddy shared his stock deodexed rom so other people could have some fun cooking up their own custom. So, just credit him and move on. I don't think he'll be upset at all.
Make sure to also credit krylon and sduvick in anything you do. If you dig back into the forum, you'll see that they worked together.

That was way tricky. You need to add three pngs to the drawable-hdpi folder after you decompile the framework-res.apk.... reboot, reboot_ recovery and download. Then edit the strings.xml folder.... after that, it gets pretty hairy. I'll send you a pm with all the steps needed to configure the android.policy.jar file.
Oh, and thanks for the advice orange808!

That would be very helpful! Thank you. And about the keyboard, no problem. Have you checked it out yet?
Also, any ideas for a good color scheme? I wont name my project til I have a scheme for the look. AND.....should I kill touchwiz launcher? o.o

Dude...I just thought of something. Why don't you make a custom Key Lime Pie theme? Just use the various images found on the net for inspiration....maybe you can make a kind of CM theme based on yellow and green...just a thought!
As for TouchWiz....ugh...I personally hate it. Why not go with Go Launcher? It is a bit on the hefty side but is very theme-able!

That is a great idea not gonna draw conclusions yet, but the whole green color seems to look nice on the SK. And I used to love Go Launcher, but it became so chock-ful of ads and weird buying with credits and just....it became a bit too much I think? I might poke around and try to find an older version of ADW and just break the market link so it doesnt upgrade to the new one. Which by the way, I wanted to suggest in case Holo Launcher starts to get old for you, it looks alot like the ICS update, spare the icons. But with a theme installed its gotta be the best ICS launcher I've seen yet IMO anyway.

Learning
Well, I tryed to set up the EPM for Sidekick from scratch. No go, it's different than a lot of other devices it seems. Could anyone direct me with this a little? Please? It would be awesome because I really want to learn some while building this.
I know I have a lot of questions, but believe me, I appreciate it more than you know and I love the community for all its provided help. I have one more:
Which file happens to be for the notification background? Have tried a few but see no differences :/

It is amazing how PDT and ayoteddy got all of this working. I tried editing the classes.dex file on my own, but it seems that the Sidekick 4G is a freak mutation of some sort.
I wound up taking a shortcut and used GenericGinger's android.policy.jar file. I edited the GlobalActions.smali file using Notepad ++ and added the reboot info from the public.xml located in the framework.

Then make em useful posts instead of blabbing in random posts... if there is time to shoot the **it, then there is time to help. Just do some searching or redirecting. Or, post some opinions on someones theme or app or whatever, then they could use that feedback for the better rather than some random post.
Just saying, could be doing other things bud. Not to sound like a jerk or any bad way that can be taken. Good-luck with the posts.

[ROM]GreenMachine_DC.mod(updated to DC_3.2.3)

THIS IS THE GREEN MACHINE DC+ MOD
(its a rom not a theme)
**LINK UPDATED TO DC_3.2.3 on 7/9**
I saw damages newest release yesturday, so i put this little mod together for myself so i could check it out. I can never just flash the plain rom anymore, w/o modding it first, so when im done i just take out the paid apps and then ul for others that may like it. pps were asking me for a green mod so this is what i did. Its damage, just skinned with a new rosie,htc weather clock,themed lockbar,status bar header,status bar bottom, and changed font to comfortaa. I also fixed my EVO modded main nav scroller.Make sure you check out the new suped up dconfig ui. its sharp.
Here Is Exactly what is added app wise
Utilities:
(these are all VERY small, but VERY useful apps)
androzip
autokiller
systray(for ram)
battery widget(batt%)
oc widget
wireless tether
mount usb
dual mount
spare parts
Keyboards:
htc_ime mod
DroidX
htc_green slide
Dialer:
dialer one
LWP:
4 touchwiz
1 nex mod
1 starfield
LAUNCHERS:
ROSIE_MOD(ME)
TOUCHWIZ(testing)
ADW(only non-sense launcher i use)
ALL but the htc_kb can can be removed from Data/app BTW
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT CAME IN THE DAMAGE RELEASE
WHY NOT POST THIS IN THEMES?
because i always have a **** ton of problems with pps trying to flash to the wrong rom then blame me, so i just do the dirty work and set it up for you so all you have to do is flash the rom;i add everything so you dont have to even sign into google to get started(if you flash as much as i do youll understand)
SCREENS
IF YOU LIKE THIS MOD GIVE THANKS TO:
DAMAGE&TREVE=BASE ROM
LCARS=AWESOME BOOT
ME=BEING ADDICTED TO MODDING
PLEASE KEEP THE THREAD CLEAN THIS IS FOR THOSE THAT HAVE FLASHED THE ROM AND HAVE CRITIQUE FOR IMPROVEMENT OR ISSUES; NOT TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE ME. NO ONE HERE CARES ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU
If you are more fond of the espresso rosie go HERE and pick up the zip.
Be sure to thank KONI for all his hard work(he still needs his evo)
AS ALWAYS, for best results, wipe then flash(this is up to you)
ENJOY​
I'm so flashing this. Amazing job, man.

i have to say i like the colors ! any chance of getting a normal clock /weather and a normal espresso theme im liking everything else

great job. do you think you can whip-up a royal or navy blue version of this?
can these be made in to themes that can be flashed without having to install the whole rom? so i can switch between colors?
if it this is based on 3.2.2, that one has bugs. Newest DC version is 3.2.2.1
I'd love to try this out but unfortunately I can't seem to do download it on any of the mobile browsers I've got. I keep downloading a really small .dat file. Can anyone upload it somewhere else? It would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, i can do that, i used to hate the factory rosie but now i love it because i can do SO many things to it. To a mod freak like me, thats where its @. The other rosie is pretty basic. I like to replace it using my own shapes, but if you want it what color? my buddy drew wants it too. Colors are pretty limited to Black or a type of green between dark green and neon green. Lemme know. Glad you like it.

The easiest way to do that and the way i do, is to get ur setup perfect, then nandroid. Verify the nandroid. WIPE. Flash the new rom. Set it up to ur liking. Nandroid. REPEAT(this requires some space on sd and hd to backup).I wish it was that easy. If i could whip them up id have every color When i have some inspiration, ill be working on a blue next, if i have time maybe ill try and spit out two themes @ once. pm you when its/they are finished.
Like i explained in ops, i setup the whole rom so you get everything working the way its supposed to. Easier on everyone. If you dont like my work, just nandroid.You wont need it any time soon though

You can get it but on phone it is rather difficult to dl a 180mb file w/o corrupting the dl by slow data transfer speeds & combo of what type of sd you have it saving to. I can gurantee it works from pc and that is your best bet. I cant count the roms ive dl'd but never once have i dl'd with phone directly. I actually assume it would not complete and just waste my time. Sorry about that. If i knew another way id gladly share. If you have any other issues ill try my best to get you up and running.

[REQUEST] Theme team / colaboration etc?

OK, so basically im looking for a partner in crime. Im starting to fall behind on everything lately, from school to themes. And the requests just keep coming to my inbox. And currently im barely able to keep up, and soon wont be.
What im really looking for is someone with decent photoshop, etc skillz. I'm OK with cut and paste, hues, gradients, color changing etc. But images from scratch are beyond me. Knowledge of everything else(compiling apks, .9.pngs, xml editing) isnt a must. I can do those if needed, its just the images take up most the time and I could use some help.
Im looking to share all future credit with someone or more. TBD.
Currently on the todo list:
Get swype for more colors.
Finish up themeing the 3-4 apps in the works
really fine tune the images in my main theme
Add more stoke apks to the theme.
Getting my theme to more roms (a few have been tested by other people, but would like to verify myself)
Plus when The good ROMs hit the threads (sapphire team, BB, CM, etc), I want them supported quickly.
and the list goes on and on.......
Get a hold of me one way or another if your interested
I'm interested dawgg!

Is there a how to on changing your Sense lock to AOSP?

Title pretty much says it all. I've been hopping from mod to mod, theme to theme, framework to framework to get exactly what I want in my phone aesthetically. I'm using this frame right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12131447&postcount=37210
The guy who ported was kind enough to point me to this AOSP lock that worked, but didn't quite match what I wanted to accomplish. I'm really looking for this lock, and if not then just a straight up AOSP lock.
As I said, I've tried just about every combo possible but everything takes something away that I want to keep. I tried the how to theme thread, and it was a great resource but only offered advice on how to change the png on HTC's lock; something I'm not particularly interested in.
Is there a howto on how to get this accomplished myself? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Further into it if you scroll up anything with ic_jog will be your buttons like the Lock icon and Vibrate icon on the tabs/rotary.

He wasn't trying to be a ****. It's a very flexible and effective way to change your lock to just about anything including a ton of custom locks. Well worth $1.99 to people who want a high degree of customization and control over their lockscreen.
Why not purchase widgetlock? You can switch between aosp lc and lense lc. Just my opinion

First off, I love your work on this. The whole theme is great, and the only reason I keep trying to Frankenstein this one in particular is because I love the black on-screen notifications over that HTC grey. Unfortunately when I replaced frameworks I bootlooped :-/
@the other two previous to this post: I don't want to do that because its unnecessary. I don't need to spend money on a bandaid when I (with the help of others here) can go into the filesystem and do it myself.

Sent from my shotgun via the zombie apocalypse.
I wish I knew how to do this...
I have been working on porting this over for the last week now, but just to fail miserably at it. I got to decompile the framework-res and compare all the files from both versions (CM7 7.0.2 for DHD and the one from the theme) replacing most of the resources, but when I flash it on my device, it boots and seems to work, until you press the menu button on any system app, then it makes it FC. Switching WiFi on and off doesn't make the device hot restart anymore as it did by just flashing the theme straight from the OP at the EVO's themes here.
If I was to attach the flashable zip that I created, would anyone be able to take a look at it and see what it is that I did wrong and maybe correct it?? I also noticed that the progress_horizontal animation just shows the wait animation (spinning circle when the system loads something).
It would be awesome if someone could get this theme ported!
I was able to port this successfully but haven't had a chance to put the files together in a flashable zip. Will do that in my spare time since I'm back at work.

Team Gummy Sanctioned Themers and Themes!!!!

We at team Gummy want to make Gummy Charged a themer friendly rom. We want to make a wide variety of themes available through the gummy tool box. to this end we will be "sanctioning" themers. however we only want the highest quality themes sanctioned and released through the gummy tool box. we will have a list of requirements that must be met for each theme.
Team Gummy theme requirements:
1.Minium apk’s: These are the minimum, you can of course theme more apk’s
a. Framework-res
b. Twframework-res (Froyo)
c. Systemui (Gingerbread)
d. Dialer
e. Phone
f. Settings
g. Browser
2. All apk’s must be able to be decompiled and recompiled without errors. The exception to this, if the unaltered apk cant decompiled and recompiled with out errors.
3. All themes must be submitted to Team Gummy 24 Hours before release on any forum.
Sanctioned themers will have access to a Gummy Themers Drop box account.
Sanctioned themers will have early access to all updates and ROM releases.
Sanctioned themers will have their themes distributed through the Gummy Tool Box.
All interested themers post in this thread and i will contact you via pm.
I have no idea how to theme, but this sounds like a pretty friggin good deal

I may get into this. I'm thinking a Windows 7 inspired theme, lots of see thru sh*t.
Sweet!
I am looking forward to work done for this! Thanks, gunnermike!
Team GummyCharge rocks!
I just recently figured out the whole Android theming process, and I'm still very new to it, but my technical skills are fairly advanced and I learn quickly. I'm no noob.
I've only messed with the framework-res.apk, but I imagine the process is similar with other .apk's like the Phone, Contacts, Calendar, etc. .apk's. I also imagine there's different problems to run into when modifying other applications.
What IRC channel does everyone hang out on? I'd love to help out and create various themes. I have a few colored schemes in mind, and I've been planning on making my own Volkswagen theme for a bit. I actually created a handful of the icons already in my attempts to use GoLauncher's Theme Factory, but eventually stopped the theming once I discovered the fact that the Export function was busted.

I can't really use IRC at work, but thanks for the heads up.
There are so many images to edit in the drawable-hdpi folder, and I feel like I haven't seen the majority of them when using my phone. I'm just going to start modifying the obvious until I can get on IRC to ask questions.
Are these file names standard? If so, someone should create a tool similar to the GoLauncher Factory

The files names are indeed standard. But when you throw touchwiz into the mix it adds a bit of new stuff.
And no metamorph junk. Only real themes and themers.

Most likely not because he ditched us and got rid of his charge.
Guess some people never change.

His themes were drag and drop crap any way, he is just to lazy to do a good job. Its ashame because he isnt stupid, I know he could have been a good themer. He just needs to grow up.

It's a shame gunnermike as you all tried really hard to help him out.

So true. The only time I flashed one of his themes was on the fascinate and then I had to clean it up extensively so I would be satisfied with it. It was just sloppy. I wish him the best and hopefully he decides to take the time to theme a bit better.
Thankfully the charge has GrainOsand and you mike from the fascinate to theme! (I wish nitsuj would have gotten a charge instead of the inc2 as well but oh well)

He was to lazy to edit the .xml files for his themes. If you look at GoS themes, he makes multiple .xml edits to the status bar text, download text, market text. The little details in a theme make a big difference. You cant just swap out images and hope it works out. I also suspect he was a big time kang artist........

He didnt even take the 5 minutes it would take to zipalign. He left so many useless images that his frameworks were double in size. It was a shame he even put out something so sloppy, but at least he is gone now.
would love to see a honeycomb theme for gummy on ep1q.

that will happen when we release the official GummyCharged GBE. FE is our stable "store front" rom, and is our priority at this point.. the gb leaks just dont have the stablility and reliability of source built froyo. once we release GC FE 2.0 then i will begin working on GBE.
