Hi everyone,
I think I've finally (yet again) reached a point of contentment with my current rom/theme, and I guess its time to release it for anyone else that might want to use it.
First, this theme/mod is for Eugene's Hybrid_R4 rom ONLY
Please don't ask about applying it to other roms like bionix/fusion/master, etc. I use Hybrid_R4, so that's the only rom I'm releasing this for.
OK, so I love eugene's hybrid rom (aosp dialer and contacts ftw!) but don't much care for the mixed aosp/black-glass theme he chose to use, instead preferring my own mix of i9k/matte blue touchwiz, cm, and aosp elements all mixed together.
At the same time, a wonderful dev here, untermensch, has spent a lot of time fulfilling requests for new mods, and generally making the vibrant 2.1 rom not-suck, so I'm including a lot of his (and others) mods with this theme.
Mods Included (links direct to original threads):
Power Menu Reboot options (with vibrate mode instead of silent)
Improved bluetooth & silent/vibrate toggles
Fascinate, Epic, and AOSP android lockscreens
CM6 Music.apk with samsung media controller support
CM5.0.8 Mms.apk with puzzle-lock support
Fix for status-bar item press/focus states
My Comfortaa Font for samsung lockscreen clock
Various theme elements from my old i9000/matte touchwiz skin
Various status bar icons from the Droid X, CM6, Fascinate, etc. including tons of tweaks, coloring, etc.
My own AOSP style accurate battery mod (with untermensch's smooth charge animation)
Includes the newest updated build of Google Maps
and probably still a lot of little tweaks that I forgot about.
Screenshots here:
CM5.0.8 MMS Screenshots
Everything Else (I think, lol.)
Ok, so disclaimer time:
I am absolutely not responsible for anything that may happen from applying this mod. ALWAYS make a nandroid backup, and wipe your cache & dalvik-cache before rebooting, and fixing permissions doesn't hurt either.
I'm not providing a "revert" file, You made a rational decision to mod your $500 phone, learn how to fix it if you mess it up, or live with the consequences.
DOWNLOAD: Removed, sorry, tired of people using other people's work and not giving credit.
Flash via clockwork recovery, and you shouldn't need to disable voodoo to flash, since this only replaces a few files in /system/framework and /system/app
However, if you run voodoo, you will need to wipe your dalvik-cache manually BEFORE applying this theme/mod.
adb shell
su
cd data
rm -r dalvik-cache
If you get FC errors on boot, try wiping your cache & dalvik cache again, and fixing permissions either via rom manager, of clockwork recovery. If you still get FC errors, try a nandroid advanced restore of ONLY your data partition.
Thanks for looking, hope someone enjoys this setup like I do, and a huge thanks to untermensch and all the real devs here that have spent so much time making the vibrant a phone worth keeping.
cheers everyone, =)

I am also running a modded version of Eugene's hybrid rom, but I got as much TW out as possible and incorporated my AOSP pulldown mod found in AOSPish roms.
Anyway, I was implementing the bluetooth toggle / silent mode mod that you include here and found in one of the .smali files the "Wifi (ON)" text that you couldn't find before Don't know if you noticed this. I had ended up killing it a different way, but now I know it won't ever show up!

Hi,
Thanks for the message, would you mind sharing your code to kill the wifi text properly? I'd much prefer to implement that and leave the default padding/layout files the way they were.
Thanks in advance, cheers, =)

No Problem. Would have never found this if it hadn't been for the bluetooth mod
In services.jar, \com\android\server\status\StatusBarService.smali @ roughly line 3100 in the file you will find:
Code:
iget-object v3, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->mWiFiBtn:Landroid/widget/TextView;
const-string v4, "WI-FI (ON)"
So I just removed the text from the string.
I actually didn't revert my other method to make sure this took care of it, but I think it will. I never messed with the margins, instead I just made the text size incredibly small.

First and foremost, this would not have originally been possible without all the hard work zimphishmonger and the3dman13 did to bring fighspit's original battery mod to the vibrant, please see the original thread here, and give them some thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756441
I'm also borrowing zimphishmonger's warning, as i think it works to keep warning messages standard across all these battery mod threads.
WARNING: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup prior to installing any modification, including this one. You are making the decision to install this on your own, and I am not responsible for anything nuclear that may happen to your device.
UPDATE.. I lost count (10/5/2010)
So I dig Eugene's Frankin-twiz rom's, but I still want to keep my accurate battery mod, and well, I think his glossy-black skin is ugly. I also think the stock vibrant touchwiz skin is ugly (for the love of all that's holy samsung, why did you decide the vibrant would be the ONLY galaxy s phone to get your stupid glossy version of touchwiz?!)
So, I ported my battery mod to frankin-twiz and at the same time, ripped all the matte (non glossy) drawable's from the I9000 touchwiz skin, and added in my colored status/signal, mms, calendar, music player, and gmail icons, restored the black background for the power control widget, added HTC's weather icons to GenieWidget.apk, changed to the stock I9000 bootup and shutdown animation and sounds, and of course, I probably missed something else too, lol. You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink
Also, if you find yourself being a typography nerd like me, you can use this zip to switch the default system font to Comfortaa I take NO CREDIT WHATSOEVER for making the original font, or the android port, I only re-packaged the files into a Clockwork-mod zip file for the vibrant. This will also change the lockscreen clock font to comfortaa, but ONLY if using the default android lockscreen.
Comfortaa system fonts: http://www.4shared.com/file/hYu1TYHL/Comfortaa_system_fonts_ONLY.html
New for ftwiz_final: I'm including an extra version with the samsung calendar AND the AOSP mms app, per Eugene's thread, since it resolves issues with being unable to send sms/mms messages. I'm also including the newest version of my battery mod (this is the version I personally like best and use daily), based on the upright/vertical icons, but with colored borders/outline, and a smoother charging animation (thanks to untermensch!) This can be applied on its own, after you flash either of the other versions. If flashed without flashing one of the other versions first, it DOES NOT contain the gmail/calendar/mms/music player icons, or the startup & shutdown animations and sounds. You can see a screenshot added to the post below too.
Download links here, ftwiz_final ONLY:
Removed, sorry, too many people use other people's work without giving credit, and it leads to way too many headaches, he-said/she-said, ignorance, etc.
Everything should flash via clockwork recovery fine, place the zip on the root of your INTERNAL /sdcard directory, reboot into clockwork, I recommend wiping the cache & dalvik-cache, then install zip from sdcard, locate the specific zip, reboot.
Enjoy, cheers everyone, and if you come in here posting bugs/whining for help without first making sure you cleared your cache and dalvik-cache, then I'm just going to ignore you,
Looks Great!!!
Thanks alot works well on my phone
i love it! not a big fan of the round battery icon, so this is great
Great work! Glad to see everyone is making their own customized battery images. We are gonna have a battery collection soon.
just a quick update to the OP with a new version with some colored/themed status icons.
cheers

I did, switched from the green circle. The battery indicator works fine.
I used the circle one but saw this with the other colored icons and thought they were cool. Seems that they don't quite work properly. Stock the GPS indicator shows in the notification bar any time it's on. With the new icons from the op the indicator is only on if I'm in an app that is using the GPS. I'm going to flash back to stock then to the battery only mod (i figure I need to to switch the other icons?)

Hi,
Thanks for trying it out. I have no idea how there might be issues since this is literally just img replacement from the segmented green circular battery mod, so however icons should work with that mod, is how they should work with this mod.
Maybe run a fix permissions from rom manager and see if that helps?
Also, my GPS icon has never worked like you described, even stock, (in other words, mine isn't always visible in notification bar, even when not in an app actively using gps, its displayed only when using an app that needs GPS, and disappeared when exiting the app.)
If you want to try and modify your own framework-res.apk with these files, I may upload just my png images once I'm done replacing/coloring all the icons I feel like modifying.
Thanks again for trying it out though, cheers
Lastly, I got bored and colored the wifi icons, cell-signal icons, and vibration indicator icon, I'll post the framework-res.apk in the first post, but won't package a new update.zip until I decide I'm done modifying icons, lol.

Excellent work! I like the new colored signal icons. Consider possibly creating a metamorph of it, as they are very easy to update.

So I went back to stock to check and you're right. I must have imagined that.
I'll be switching back to your colored icons and battery now.
And as soon as you are done changing the icons and create a zip I'll switch to those. I like the color.

Hey again,
Glad I wasn't screwing up phone's, lol.
Anyway, I'm still working on changing all the icons, can't seem to decide where to stop yet, since now I've started modifying icons for other apps, gmail, mms, google voice, trillian, etc. And of course, now that I've gone with a slightly brighter green in the other icons, I may go back and tweak the color of my battery icon to match.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of some of the icons I'm mostly finished with (though for some reason I'm not digging the alarm icon, anyone have color suggestions for it?)

Yeah...sorry about that. Anyway I hate that stupid icon to begin with so maybe something totally different? I did a GIS for alarm clock icon and there are a lot of possibilities. I think that maybe the stock one with a red square and white clock could be good.
Edit: Maybe something like this

If you don't already have it, I suggest you install Koush's Clockwork Recovery. You can install it quickly by using ROM Manager.
Once you boot into the recovery ROM, you can back up your entire phone using Nandroid (highly advised) and then you're free to experiment to your heart's content.
Now back to your question: you can save the file to your internal SD card and search for it using the 'Install from SD' (or something like that) option in the Clockwork ROM, install it and reboot.
Good luck, friend.
What's the right way to revert this? framework-res.apk restore?
Updated OP with newest mod.
I think I'm done with this for a while now, though I might zip all the png files if someone else wants to try and make this into a morph when the app gets updated.

Hi,
Yes, restoring your backed-up framework-res.apk will restore the battery mod. If you used the newer zip that also includes the Gmail icon mod, then you'll need to restore Gmail.apk too /system/app too.

I just loaded up eugene Mcnut-r1 and am loving it however there are certain mods I had previously that I sorely miss Hoping some can be re-created in a flashable zip format.
Extended power menu that includes reboot, recovery and download
Accurate battery mods (none seem to work on this new build)
*** New idea can we replace the auto rotate button and make it into a MobileAp button. I know we modded the silent vibrate button like this in eclair.
seems like this belongs in the thread for this ROM...
Also, do these work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819498
I did try the one #3 file posted there and it didnt work. No error just never changed anything. Gonna see if I can rip the framework-res out of Axura101 to get the accurate battery part.
As far as posting in the rom area itself I am hoping s0niqu3 or untermensch can help me out as they are the ones who have posted these mods in the past. This doesnt need to be specific to eugenes rom I believe it can be made to work with any froyo by modifying the services.jar file. I believe thats what has happened in the past.

jpa framework-res is different. now that he finally released it and is basing it from this hear on out for a little while i will make a few battery mods and release my all black theme for it =))
Awesome can anyone do the power menu mods and the quick button changes?
Can I also bump and request the stock android keyboard? I tried using the asop builds keyboard with the old rom eugene made and it FCed non-stop.
Hey guys,
I was wondering is there a way to tell which morphs and themes, on the older trigger will work on trigger 2.9.+. Also could someone who is skilled in morphing, and themes, take a look at all the requests they are throwing at birgertime? This rom is solid and a performer. It's that some ppl want to tweek the looks for their own wicked taste. I sadly am not skilled enough to get the job done
Thank you for any help
given that trigger is still kb1 based the frameworks will also be based off the kb1 frameworks.
that said anything that worked on 2.8.x SHOULD work on 2.9.x+. i cant be 100% certain as i am not using trigger. but worst case scenario you get a bootloop in which case just push the framework-res.apk from 2.9.x to /system/framework using adb in CWM recovery
All of the metamorphs in trigger_addons work.
My thread (signature) has a lot of the themes that work.
Problems only arise when trying to use themes that include other (non -res files) framework essentials like android policy or services, because the ones on Trigger are unique do to all the modifications.
Furthermore, the framework-res on Trigger has a couple of resources for the extra lock screen that might not be there from other themes. I'm not sure what the result would be if you picked the starwars lock screen would be if you chose a theme that didn't have the framework for it (which most probably wouldn't)
If that made any sense
But yeah, people throwing all these requests at me for personal preferences is getting to be too much

The only personal preference you need to worry about is yours... it's worked pretty well so far. People will learn how to customize on their own.
Maybe post links in your OP to helpful links?

It looks very goooood. I want it on my Legend!!!!
But i use Blayo´s Rom and dont want to change to cyanogen...
I flashed the Mattedblues theme made for the EVO (I think, found it in this thread) on my HTC Legend last night, and it basically almost works.
It looks amazing, and as far as I'm able to tell, there are no visual problems with the skin itself.
Thing is, if I try to turn off WiFi, I'm thrown back to the boot animation. It then boots up normally, with the WiFi still on.
I don't know if this is caused by settings on my phone, or by the skin being incompatible with the Legend. I tried to flash the version of the theme made for the G2 just now, but the same problem occurred.
Thanks Eirki, I posted your feedback here in case someone can advise:

If someone has an easier way of sharing files, that won't eat my monthly dropbox bandwith, please let me know =)

I wrote a short howto and put it in the rar, but I recommend you check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841720 anyway. Good luck with the theme, remember to do a nandroid backup before you try anything.
The 'Thanks' button is near the Quote/MultiQuote/QuickReply buttons on the bottom right of each post. I can see 3 people have thanked you for your above post and file share
You mention: "some notification icons and the font being a little small," ...are you able to notify us:
- which notification icons?
- where is the font small?
This will allow us to report any other wierd behaviour.
1] Is this for 7.0.3 and above only or 7.x ?
2] Do we need S-OFF?
3] Do we need [MOD] full r/w access via overlay filesystem (any ROM) for this to work?
Thanks once again!
Notification icons:
The roaming icon (looks like the regular signal strength icon, only with an R on it) does not appear to be themed. Instead it's the standard green.
Also, for some reason, when wifi is turned off, the signal strength icon is gray not blue.
I don't use 3G or edge, so I don't know how those icons look.
The battery percentages icon is very difficult to read. This is easily bypassed by checking "Battery Percentage" in CM settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks. It's a shame though, the special made percentage icon is a lot fancier.
Font size:
This is most noticeable in the Launcher Pro Plus widgets, especially the Friends widget and the Pulse news reader app. It's definitely readable, but still a minor nuisance.
If this is a deal breaker to you, there's always the option of not installing the font or installing a different one. (If anyone knows a font that looks good on the Legend, let me know.)
1: CM-version: I have only tested these specific files on CM7.0.3. I made them by combining the MattedBlues files for 7.0.3 with files from the CM7.0.3 zip file. For all I know, they may work on other versions as well. If not, the MB files for other versions can easily be converted to Legend-compatibility.
2: Mine is S-ON, so I wouldn't think you need S-OFF (I don't really know what S-OFF entails, I'm somewhat of a newbie.)
3: Now, I have no idea what that is. I sure never did that with my phone. Looks like a way to write files to /system without booting into recovery. I just boot into recovery =)
Thanks for the above!
I look forward to trying it out!

Don't worry, this isn't a theme-related issue.
In 'pure Android', when you are online AND have the ability to connect to Google servers, the bars are green. When you don't have access to Google servers, the bars go grey. So the behaviour you see is normal [just replacing blue for green of course].
Question regarding the Apps folder in the *.rar file in post #16 above...
Can we simply delete the APK and ODEX files for the applications we don't want to install with the ROM or is completely the wrong and unstable way of doing it?
I know this might not be the right area to post but i cant post in the android development because i dont have enough posts but i need to figure this out.
I tried das bamf last night and it boots fine but it looks like its missing the notification screen power control widget and when it boots up it looks stock and doesn't look like it comes with really any extras same with the das bamf remix.
I fallowed the guide to root last night and it worked but im not sure if something went wrong and i dont know it. is there a way to check if its rooted properly and is this normal for the roms or does it sound weird?
If you weren't rooted you wouldn't be able to install the rom.
I'm going to go ahead and guess you didn't wipe anything when installing a new rom. Read a bit more before you start messing with your phone more and end up having to take it back to verizon.
And a thread like this does not go in Android Development, read the rules too why you are at it.
i realize i was rooted, just not sure if you could be partially rooted or not and if that would mess up a rom, and i wiped everything. i first tried the bamf remix and wiped the cache and the dalvik cache. i then flashed the regular bamf and wiped everything including the data. both times they look stock with a couple of extra apps and nothing else really listed that included in the rom.
also where are these rules? all i see is the description next to the threads.
You didn't wipe data when you flashed BAMF remix, there is the problem right there.
The regular BAMF isn't supposed to be anything radically different from the stock look. What exactly were you expecting to be different after you flashed it?
Rules - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013013
the onlything real different is a couple of apps were added like call recorder, kernal manager, spare parts, titanium backup and thats is, just a few things i notced not having right away were the notification power control, the 6 sgnals bars
these are the features of bamf 1.6
Features of 1.6
1.13.605.7 base
Debloated, which includes vzw framework, apps, games, libs, and permissions.
Tweaked filesystem and minfree.
Zipaligned (just once, not every boot, sorry), and deodexed. Odex and deodex perform the same after the first boot, when deodex roms get....odexed. This is merely to save space in /system and make tweaking easier.
Added Google Car Home, removed HTC car app.
HTC Hub and htcsense.com are partially working.
Removed Stocks widget, and app. Google has better apps for this anyway.
Superuser is fixed with rmk40's version, woot woot!
Our own busybox, version 1.19
Profile added to system/bin to help prevent certain malware.
Kernel has init.d support, as well as adb root, and usb debugging enabled on every boot (even from a wipe). Many optmizations, tun, cifs, nfs support. Overclocks to 1.5ghz. Undervolted from 1ghz and down. Stock voltage at 1.19, slightly overvolted past that.
Kernel will boot at 1036mhz! You must use setcpu to overclock, the kernel will not do it for you automatically.

No location indicator, thanks Bgill55!
No recent apps on notification bar. Inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1004975, using 1.12.605.9 framework, which appears to have quite a few fixes, at least in xml.

Yes, I know the features, but I still don't understand what exactly you expected to SEE differently. Not every feature is something that is going to be "seen".
Re-download the rom, boot into recovery, make a backup, wipe everything, install the rom, it should all be fine then.
thats what i'm working on.
still didnt work, i tried the remix. still have the 4 bars for signal and and no notification control panel. I rebooted in to CWM, cleared the data, cache, and dalvik, then installed the rom, and then even cleared everything again and then installed the rom and rebooted.
hmmm... probably not the issue, but what version of CWR do you have?
i am running 3.0.2.5
Wow, I am stumped, i'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone else can chime in and figure out the problem.

anyone have any ideas?
