Hi everyone,
i´ve searched this forum and google, but i can´t find a tutorial about "how to create a Theme for manila" or else.
I´ve got an idea for theme, but i don´t know in which folder they are or to change them.
Has someone an idea?

Welllllllllllllllllll first you have to define "theme" there are alot of people with a Dinik Icon set and Dinik slider.. paired with a wallpaper of choice and call it a theme..
Then there is stuff like Buuf s theme and OrangeStreet that dig a little deeper than just a few icons and skins..
Then.. there is the THEMES... but before diving into a THEME.. know that even something like OrangeStreet (my first theme i did with ConanTroutMan) has over 1300 editted files in it.. and this was before i even knew about pngs in the windows folder or .dll mods , signing and unsigning certs, swype and t9 skins.. hell we could go on for days..
SOOOOOOOOOO
imo
Start by skinning all the manilla files you can find..
Then take alot of the ones you dont know .. and write a number on them.. 1-whatever.. and upload them to your phone.. this will help you find the stuff that wasnt obvious on the first pass..
THEN edit the pngs in the windows folder of the phone..
THEN Open PE explorer and start cracking open dlls..
which requires signing and unsigning certs.
By now you will have lost 45 pounds...AND your wife ...and you dog will have died of starvation.. But you will have a theme that is nothing more than a heavy duty skin.
So then you learn .lua and registry editting.. lua there are entire college courses on lua btw.. coding.. and xml... and use this to move and push some stuff around.. and THEN youll have a full theme.
Thanks, for the quick reply.
Well i think i have to start at the beginning:
so how can I extract the manila png files to edit them?
Use CFC_GUI and plus your phone in and turn it on.. .then click device.. import from device.. then export to pngs.. aim it at a folder.. and you will get a whole fist full of icons to edit.
The second easy to get to set you already know.. phone/windows/_.pngs
and if you cant get one to insert and replace itself, via copy and paste to replace.. then use WinCe to cab it and replace it.
Just make sure when you are done.. pile them all up in one cab so there arent a million cabs on your phone.
Read a Tutorial on CFC_GUI.. you can edit about 1200 files using just that.
Btw i cant wait to see what you come up with.. and if you need anyhelp that you dont wanna post on here (some ideas arent meant to be shared till AFTER they work) feel free to pm me.
This is where it all started for me......

Hi, I modified Animating Flip Clock Widget Beta, created by Peppernut Studios, htc style for my wildfire in the "... ldpi" folder.
I have not changed the code or the name or the size of objects, only the font (which I renamed), the background and the two white boxes where the numbers are put, playing with transparency in PNG images, and I've signed with Auto-Sign v0.65 (for me that I am not a programmer is a miraculous thing).
I'm not interested in the weather, only the clock and its animation, which works beautifully, and the result seems very good, at least for me.
What interested me know is this: if I find out how to change the name, make the other folders (...hdpi and ...mdpi) I can post?
Maybe someone else also like ...
it'is really cool can you doing an mdpi version?
italiano: bello,potresti fare una versione mdpi?
Hi all, I changed to my delight this free application in the Android Market, Animating Flip Clock Widget Beta, created by Peppernut Studios.
I wanted to put on my Wildfire, with rom CyanogenMod 7.1 256 nightly, an animated clock on the type of stock on some HTC (everyone has one but not all of it is animated), but you can not run on the Cyano.
Not being interested in the weather, I focused on this app.
I changed the images and font, without modifying the code, replacing the png files and font directly into the apk open, in fact keeping the proportions established by the author and the names of files, but playing with the transparency of png files.
It should not be unzipped the app, but you have to put items directly nell'apk open (which indeed is but a particular zip), folder in the right positions.
After I signed the file with Auto-Sign v0.65, because otherwise it would not work, and you're done.
Works well
I always wanted this anim...but wasnt the case on wildfire n stock rom & i just rooted my phone two days back with CM nightly latest build...and found ur post..I ws so glad tht yu made the Flip clock to actually Flip I jus luv it dude..looks awesome..thnx a ton for sharing it man
So wats the next update!! including wather too
he works very well,but on my lg optimus one is a little small,but does nothing,i love it

I'm not interested in the weather, but still I would not be able, I'm not a programmer.
Changing some images is different from changing the code.
Rather, how did you set the single digits for the hours?, I did not succeed.

As the author of Animating Flip Clock Widget I feel flattered that you've taken it upon yourself to modify my app. Though a link to my original thread would be appreciated.
It's been a while since I've updated this app, but I am working on a completely rewritten version of it. This one will look more like how you've changed it, though it also contains animated weather. So if you're interested you can keep an eye out here on XDA, or on my website.

Just to set the record straight, it was me that made the clock actually flip. But I can understand it might be confusing who does what when so many different technologies are involved.

I am currently working on weather. But not to hijack this thread, please direct any development queries to this thread and keep any custom styling/theming queries here.

Animating Flip Clock Widget uses one digit for the hour in AM/PM mode, and uses two digits for 24 hour mode. So if you want to change this, go into your phone settings and select the date/time setting and there you'll find a tickbox for that.
Cheers

This clock uses a different technique which would involve replacing not just a few images, but a couple of hundred images. So it might be hard to find someone willing to put an enormous effort in to achieve that.

I apologize, it was not an intentional thing, just a mistake in composing the message in English, which is not my language, I edited my first post (other thread I opened in Italian, and there I have always mentioned) .. .
Rereading the posts, I saw that at least in the second I mentioned.
Anyway, thanks for your excellent work, on wildfire works beautifully and I removed all other watches that I had.
It would be better if you could increase the size of the watch, but it is good enough.
'll Check your site and your thread Xda

No worries, and thank you very much.
My new version will indeed have a slightly larger clock, but I do try to keep it in proportions.

Hello, I've come up with something, because you are the creator of the app.
A friend of mine has one of the latest Samsung and app slows it down a lot.
The directory that is used is the folder drawable-hdpi.
great work.....
if you increase the size of the clock it will be my default clock.
in my 3,7 display it's a bit small

Sense 4 widgets..needs resizing
I came across this Thread and was wondering if any dev could resize for our Wildfire...

Hey guys, I was just looking for a tutorial on how to create an apex launcher icon pack. I found it but it was so complicated that i found an idea. I wanted to create an icon pack with Symbian Belle icons. I will supply all the icons and any one person can compile them and make an icon pack. He can then give me a copy of that icon pack and then do whatever he wants to do with the rest(sell it in the market etc). I will also supply the icons if requested of any app/game etc. Pl help me and you can also make some money out of this if you decide to sell the icon pack in the market. Just write my name in the description:angeloptional). Thanks guys hopefully someone will contact me:fingers-crossed:. My email: [email protected] :highfive:
Search in android development and hacks, in theming forum or something similar . You have tutorials, i was reading some yesterday.
