Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out how to theme by taking a theme apart and then comparing stuff to my phone. I got "most" of the Revolution Theme working properly on my Mez. It was taken from the Fascinate Theme Thread...
The only thing that I've found that has a force close is trying to go into sound settings...
Anyone know where that file is in the theme pack that I need to change?
I've attached a screen shot for your review of what it looks like.
OK, I got it working. I had to pull out my Settings.apk, make the changes to it and then put it back into the package. Seems to be working well now.
The only thing that hasn't changed that I want to change is the lock screen. Anyone know what files specifically need to be modded to change that?
Anyone interested in trying it out? Remember to do a backup before giving this a try!
I'm running SuperClean .2 with a voodoo kernel as a reference point
Put it on the root of your SDcard and then boot into clockwork and choose install Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip.

I'll give it a go.
As a point of reference:
Variant of the voodoo kernal
Pick-n-Pack rom
Hope you like it. I have to figure out how to fix the lock screen though.

I'll be looking at it too, as this goes along with what I'm doing while I'm on vacation anyway. I am not 100% sure, but I think the lock screen and a few other things that you are going to want, are going to be in the framework.res.
Another note, this uses aosp mms.apk which has a problem still with sending and receiving picture messages.
I got it installed. (Sorry it took so long, I didn't realize I was at 3% battery when I posted)
Installed with no issues, however I'm getting a big difference in the battery meter. My widget says 65%, the rpm battery gauge says 80%.
Also, it reinstalled Mail, which I had taken off in the Pick-n-Pack. Was that in the zip?
Yes, mail was included as one if the customized apps. Hmmm, you didn't want mail? Not sure how to remove that. Do you liked it? I live the font and different icon scheme.
The mms its a problem but I was going that once it got fixed that I'd be able to update it.

I unzipped it, system-app, and took out the programs I didn't like. All in all it looks pretty good. I will use it again when the mms issue is fixed (I send A LOT of picture messages)
Updated File - Screenshots
Got it perfect now. I didn't like the battery meter in the first try.

Just as a thought, you might want to change the name slightly. The DJ05 part of the name has to do with the release version. The Mesmerize is currently on DI14. Nothing critical right now, just confusing if and when we start getting updates and things need to be changed for themes to work with different ROMs.
Great work, btw. Glad to see others are working on stuff for the Mesmerize.
Good point. I'll make the change to the file name.
Thanks!
So, in order to install this all I need to do is flash it in clockworkmod recovery after booting in recovery mode? I almost have this flashing down, but haven't tried a theme yet...

Yes, make a backup using Clockwork or Rom Manager first, then boot into Clockwork recovery. Scroll to Install from zip. Select "Choose zip" then navigate to it on your SD card. Select it and it will install. Let me know how you like it.
I will for sure, thanks man.

Dude this is awesome! I love the notification bar (transparency, GPS/wifi/etc icons, black, signal & battle icons), and the font, and the way the texting looks (even though I only use Google voice) and the search bar, and stars and checkmarks, and loading icon.
A couple issues I have with it though:
+When you hit the menu button, its impossible to read the black text on the black background the text should be white or grey I think
+ the battery meter isn't very accurate (according to "battery status"). I would love if the battery could be more accurate, because the app I have right now has almost the same icon for telling how full the batt is (only yours looks way cooler, and its on the other side of the notif bar, which I like)
+Then the last thing is this font, which I think there's something I can do to fix. I like the font on my keyboard and in menus and stuff, but I don't really want it on every webpage and text. I use dolphin browser, you know what I could do?
Last thing, is it possible to make Google voice look like the normal texting app, or different in any way? I'm not a huge fan if the way it is now.
Overall I really like it, and I'm keeping it : ) thanks!

Trying this out on my Super Clean .3 rom with voodoo kernel.
Can confirm that this works and is sexy; I agree with the three gripes above though. Can't read the menu buttons, battery isn't perfect, and the font is a bit annoying. If possible the status bar might look a little better with a slight gradient, though that might just be the wallpaper or whatever. Overall, this is a good theme.
-herpderp-
A couple more spots I've noticed the font is a hard color...
-android keyboard, white squares appear above the letters you press with no letters in them.
-on notification bar, most apps have white text and is a bit difficult to read on grey background.
-theres another one that I forgot where now....
And since I flashed this my YouTube isn't working, and I can't download from mediafire.... haha I think that might be a fluke, but Its weird: s

Hey guys! Long time reader, first time Android poster. Love the community!
Getting right down to it, I'm visually impaired but not blind. Some aspects of the Evo are just too small for me to read. Coming from an Iphone, I got spoiled with there three finger double tap zoom accessibility feature. I'm looking for something similar or even just some way to increase the font size of everything. I ran across this app http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.pbxes.fontsize/ but the comments state that it doesn't work for Evo.
Anyways. this has been something sought after by many people. I've been reading everything I can find searching Google and all I find are people wanting it, but not getting it. I'm willing to throw some cash at a developer to get this going. If it can be made an app I'm sure it will sell extremely well in the market, even if it is just Evo specific. If it has to be some kind of custom ROM there would still be a lot of people using it.
Sorry if something like this has been requested before, but I spent a lot of time searching and I didn't find anything useful. If there is already a solution, please PLEASE tell us.
Hey, hopefully this helps you out. Go on the market, and look for dolphin text sizer. It says you have to also download the dolphin web browser [both free], but the text sizer should be right up your alley. And just literally looked it up for ya.
That is kind of neat. But.... it's not quite what I was looking for because this only works while in the browser. I'm looking to be able to zoom the entire screen and then pan it left and right. Or..... increase the font size of everything, including icons and contacts, timestamps... everything.
Here is a youtube video of the three finger zoom thing that the iphone does if you havent seen it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ZzDffl0sQ&NR=1 It really does a little more than he shows but you might get the idea.
Try Ideal Accessibility in the market. Kinda like a grid arrow pointing down. It profess having some good apps, but still looking.
Take a look at an app called lcddensity. You can use it to make everything on your screen either bigger or smaller. It resets on reboot, but you can make the effect permanent. You can also try changing your font to something a bit bigger than the standard font.

Awesome!
Haha! WoW! Yeah 1 year later! This is pretty cool! I am having a little trouble getting the shake to work tho. It works once, then it wont work again. I'm running Decks 2.3.7 Stablistic on my evo, and I selected "custom" in the app.
But seriously, thanks! I thought this request was long dead and buried.
maybe i put sensitivity too small... and you need to shake harder?
You can try and the stock mode, maybe works better
cool app! Not something that I would probably use, but still, very cool work. thanks.

Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

My wife is really loving this theme! She does have 4 suggestions:
1. Make the locked screen button pink instead of the redish color.
2. In the Call log of the dialer, the phone numbers for each contact show up as orange. She would like them changed to pink.
3. Make the clock pink in the status/notification bar instead of the current grey.
4. In the default browser when you load up a webpage, she was wondering if the bar that shows the webpage loading progress could be Pink instead of orange? I told her this probably isn't possible, but then again it might be. I have no clue
The locked screen button color changed is the main thing she wanted, let me know if you need screenies for any of these. Your theme let me convince my wife that she should root her phone to customize it further, so thanks again!!
looks good! gonna get this for the gf

Haha, I figured you would need them. I was trying to take the lazy way out. Sorry I got a little scribble happy on the call log page, let me know if you need me to do it again. What phone do you have? A fascinate? Pretty nice of you to do this without owning the phone.
I just forgot a couple other things she told me. And one thing I think would be cool...
1. Change the 4g logo in the status bar to pink
2. When you select an icon, it has a orange border. Would be nice if it were pink
3. I was wondering how hard it is to remove the location icon. If all the other things are pink, it would be nice if that just went away. If that's hard to do, maybe make the pink so it fits in with everything else?
edit. Donation sent, really appreciate what you do! Trying to make my wife like android as much as I do.

Only just got my fold so still learning but have run into an issue with cloud gaming on the Gamepass app. Hoping someone can help?
Basically when tyring to play on the inner screen all the games are appearing badly cropped so I'm missing a good chunk of both the far right and bottom of the screen.
Can't seem to find any setting within the app to alter this? Thanks.
I've had the same complaint for a while. I wish there was some way to resize the screen.
Well I've had a play around and the only way I can get it working properly without cropping is to use Goodlock to set the aspect ratio to 18.5:9. However it's like playing on a 'normal' phone which is extremely disappointing.

Actually it's not disappointing at all. Thats brilliant. Thank you goodlock. I can finally be competitive again!!!
Thanks
edit:. Lol, so exactly where is the setting in goodlock to do this?
Edit edit: found it!
Ok I've been playing around with this even more and discovered something even better... download the Gamepass app from the Samsung store rather than Google Play. It must be a slightly different version and you can play games on that without any messing with aspect ratios. There's still a small black bar top and bottom but nothing like there is with an 18.5:9 ratio. Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier... seems kind of obvious now that Samsung would have an optimised version in their store! What an awesome phone this is! Happy days!
