I believe he meant the .tsk files and cab files for phone dialpad

He may have meant .tsk files, but he asked for posting themes, which encompases more than just wallpaper files.
As for dialpad cabs, yes, I knew that, but I don't use any custom dialpads, hence, I didn't post any.
hello victoradjei
yes! I want to .tsk file on X7500,
thank you
Ok, if thats all you really want, just type into google 'vga ppc wallpaper' and you should get more hits than you could shake a stick at. Probably thousands of .tsk files to choose from.
that's definetly not true (thousands), and if you have realvga on your athena then most vga wallpapers (part of the theme) won't work properly. so you have to look for realvga themes.
Your right, it's probably many, many thousands. And who said anything about realvga??? You are the first.
If you have WAD, you'd be able to use ANY wallpaper you want, no matter the size, since you'd be able to stretch it (or shrink as the case may be). You wouldn't need .tsk files either. You could use png, jpg, gif, tga, etc..., and then it wouldn't be thousands of choices it would near endless choices.
Oh wait, you already can use jpg files. You just have to do it through the included photo viewer, so you can disable the transparency.
As for resolution, use your favorite pc photo manipulation software the change the image size, and/or convert to jpg, if needed and you don't have WAD. There, now your choices are near endless, and you don't even need to have WAD afterall.
Obviously, I'm sure you already knew all that, though.
there may be people who don't wanna ruin there system by installing WA, the biggest system break of all besides phonealarm and battery pack (my poor device)!!!!
and there may be users who don't wanna put a photo on the today screen when you hardly can read anything anymore.
and there may be people who are just looking for the htc theme and don't need anyone to tell them how they can find vga themes thorugh google (like the threadstarter).
and many thousands of vga themes? that just tells me how little you know about that and that you haven't searched at all!
I agree about WA, I hate it.
I found a simple Crossbow theme in this forum that has no photo, looks nice and works on the Ameo(Athena) ok. Just search for Crossbow Theme.
I also found a phone theme (cant remember where) that makes the T-Mob dialpad look nice again but I have a problem. Its very dark, and the text at the top is black!
Does anybody know the Reg Key to change the colour of font on the phone dialer?
I cant read the network or number etc.

Why don't you try searching first before pretending to know a thing or two, of which you obviously don't.
I found 243,000 pages relating to my search of VGA PPC Wallpaper. Yes 99% are rubbish (I'm sure a couple of dozen are not), but on just page ONE, I found 300-400 .tsk's in VGA, between websites. Now if you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, perhaps let the OP know where he may find the themes he's looking for, then post that. Otherwise, go sit in the back of the class and pay attention. You may learn something, yet.
Since you din't read my post well, I'll say it once again, you DON'T need WAD (I never even mentioned WA!) to install any wallpaper you want. Use the WM5 photo viewer to set the background image and remove transparency. You don't need to use a photograph (making it hard to see text as you put it), you can use ANY graphic file you find or make.
If one prefers not do these things, and is still intent on only using .tsk files, that fine, there are tons out there. So don't start causing problems. It seems I'm the only one who has even tryed to help out in some way, so far.

Hey mysticbluebmw,
Is that the box standard Advantage theme? Looks cool. Is it available from some vendor? What about the weather part?

Its a combination of software, including Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advance Desktop (both by Lakeridge Software), SBSH Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, and Weather Panel. There are some really impressive themes over at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34. So far, no compatibility issues, lock ups, or anything. PM me if need any more info.

Thanks for the info. If I do migrate to that package and its themes I'd want to make sure I keep two features: 1) 3G indicator at top to confirm that type of connection, 2) Indications of each email account and number of unread messages. Any VGA themes you recommend that keep those features? Found one here but don't see either of the above: http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/wa/organizervga.html

1) To my knowledge, the 3G icon has not been identified seperately from other connections in any Wisbar skins. For me, I did not care, since I can't do anything about it anyway, but I can see if it were essential to find a 3G area, it would be needed to know.
2) I'm not sure whether phonealarm can do this or not. I vaguely remember reading posts about custom email alerts (didn't know what that meant then or now). The phonealarm forums are located athttp://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php
I wish you luck in finding what your looking for.
I wanted to know if there is a program that can do what you guys are talking about. I would like to make my own themes with themes made by other people. If the is no program then where would one start. Thx in advanced.
Ok I don't want to piss people off but how can I make a theme. Where do I start, is there a program to help you make themes instead of copying off of people. That's what I really like to know.
What mind of theme are you talking about? There are different methods for different types of themes.
I think u just need Photoshop and u have to edit the images then repack them to the zip for install just be sure u don't lose where the icons are placed and don't rename them... I think.... but I have no idea "/
CM7 wtf else....
Well I'm talking about themes poeple make that are in android market. I dont know what type of themes they are. Forgive me I'm new to android, I had a iPhone 4 and used winspc to change themes other people made on cydia.
Now do you just got to only use Photoshop cuz I use gimp is it the same.
You can use any image editing software. Read this thread. It pertains to the same thing that you are trying to do. You will use almost the exact same process to edit themes made by others.
Like the previous posters have mentioned, Photoshop or Gimp photo editor which is free would be your best bet, if you wanna make your own designs... If you want to theme your home screen using other people's work visit this thread, might help you out a bit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901649
It also has an instruction on how to change the icons after you make the design
Good luck!
If you use anything that is not yours, ask first. A lot of time goes into making a theme (even a not-so-good one) and I've seen too many people just say "credit goes to blah blah" but never asking. Please be considerate of the work of others.
As for actual theming it all depends on what you are theming. Some apps (launchers and widgets mainly) have built in theme functionality and should have a guide specific for them. Theming a ROM is a lot more time intensive and involves decompiling frameworks, setting up development tools, dealing with many possible problems, hoping compiling works, being frustrated about forgetting something, testing, etc. etc.
good info was looking for something very similar
Is making a them for a stock MT4G that uses the theme installer different than those made for custom ROMs?
It seems the androidian theme is the only one that can be installed and used on a stock MT4G. I'd love to see that exact theme with the green replaced by a dark gray.
I would like to develop a new lockscreen for the my Vibrant. I've looked at some of the app versions. I like the concepts, but it seems like a lot of people complain about battery life and lag of the screen. I would like to make an actual lockscreen, not an overlay.
I am currently running Bionix 1.2.1. I would like to either add the lockscreen as an option on the menu provided in the Bionix Rom or flash the lockscreen in clockwork.
My first questions is, is this possible? Second question is how, or where is there somewhere i can look to get started?
I've looked around in the forums and I haven't seen any guides or any good info on this.
This would be my first jump into development for Android, but I'm willing to put in the time and effort as long as I can find a starting point in this area or get some help.
If this is built deep into the ROM and a difficult process I can find a different project, but I'm always up for a challenge. Any help would be appreciated.

It's built-in quite deep, a lot of files need to be edited. Whitehawkx actually PMed me on how to do this the other day, and it sounds quite complicated.
You'll first obviously need to create your .png's to dictate the lockscreens appearance. Then you will have to have coding knowledge, along with knowledge of smali/baksmali and editing .xmls. Thats a VERY brief overview until someone more knowledgable jumps in.
I can do some programming. I've done C++ and I have done some visual basic for work. I just haven't done any Java. I think with all the information here and on Google's developers page I could work my way though it. I would just need a general guideline. I can edit the .png's. I don't think that would be much of a problem.
It might be easier if I could edit an existing one. I like the concept of the puzzle lock. I just think it is kind of hokey. It would also be nice to have a little be more info on the screen and to have emails show up.
Would you be willing to send me what Whitehawkx sent to you? I'm not sure if that is ok.
I don't mind researching my way through it and learning as I go, I was just hoping someone had done something similar.

modifying would be the way to go... and unfortunately it has nothing to do with java coding, but dalvik bytecode (which is a major pain... untermensch & whitehawk are heroes with that bytecode).
Anyways, I believe it's in services.jar. You'd have to pull out classes.dex from it and decompile. check this post on how to decompile. and you're going to need the smali & baksmali jars...
anyways after you decompile you're stuck with lots of .smali files which contains the bytecode you would need to modify... it's really difficult to understand it heh
Whitehawkx said:
So you are using the other four lockscreens but want to get the rotary to work as well and are looking for what files are necessary for that to happen, correct?
The files I changed to get the rotary working on KB1 are as follows
Framework-res.apk
~public.xml
~strings.xml [I think one change here]
~Images are already in stock frameworks and already in place
android.policy.jar
~New smali used for rotary. All have "rotary" in their title
~changes to LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali
Settings.apk
~Changes to DisplaySettings.smali
~Changes to arrays.xml
I believe these are all the files I had to modify to get the rotary working.

heres what he said when i inquired. unfortunately he didnt go into much detail, i did send him another PM....but keep in mind these are the steps to simply inject an outside lockscreen into your current ROM, not necessarily how to build one from scratch
hopefully these steps may still give you an idea of where everything is located
I always wanted one that opens from the middle of the screen like a matinee curtain. That would be awesome.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks guys! I'll start working with that and see what I can come up with. It looks like I have a lot to learn about it.
I'll try working through it and hopefully I will come up with some more specific questions that may be easier to answer.
Also, if you think of something that may help, let me know. I would appreciate it very much.
With the starting points already given i would build the lockscreen using aosp then port it to your rom. Once compiled you can decompile then different it

I spend some time to figure out how to handle sense 4.5 skins development. BatEarsJoe give us some advices to modify a skin but these are the very basic steps to build/change a skin. Also I tried to find tutorials on other HTC devices but all I found are obsolete...
What I'm asking for is that somebody (and here I'm asking ckpv5, ayyu3m, BatEarsJoe and other developers too) to give more precisely advices on handle skins.
For example I used 'APK-Multi-Tool' to decompile a ckpv5 rom's skin and I recompiled that again without modification. The result: I lost transparency of dock bar, folders and so on.
So is anyone willing to give some advice about how to handle skins? I mean it is not necessary a step-by-step tutorial (this could take maybe much time), but at least some informations, advices, tricks or some ways to handle transparency, colors, link between m10 files and regular png files. There are more important advices that is about how to manipulate png files, how to preserve/alter alpha channel, compression to use, software to use to handle properly png and m10 files.
I respect guys (mentioned above) who wants to give us more skins but I believe that the development is too slow, so I think sharing information in this area is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
VTS is the way to go (decompiles M10 files fine and does pretty much evreything else for you) alot more of the stuff cant be edited through .pngs instead in Colors.xml and other xmls. The images in mention can be found in m10 files (make sure there the same resolution though - thanks to ayyu3m for that.)
if you wanna use VTS then follow this tutorial http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/index.php/other-stuff/94-how-to-create-your-own-sense-skin
It's good to see a more active theme-ing community
Its good to see members who are eager to try their hand at theming. I had started a skin thread in the forum but could not continue cos of png issues during then. But now those issues are gone. But so is my free time since I joined work and its been a busy month.
But hopefully I would surprise you all by releasing my skin and also a tutorial.
As a quick answer...I use VTS and photoshop cs5 only. Will include tips and tricks.

glad to hear that
How does a person create a theme and then use it? I'd like to have very specific things on my theme but other than adding to an existing theme, i can't seem to take away from an existing theme, how do I create a new one from scratch?
I know they say watch the vid but if you are like me you need to see it in writing,it makes more sense to me that way.Anyway the easiest way is to grab a theme and change it around/edit,get a feel for the program then create your own by changing wallpapers,icons,weather etc.A lot of themes now won't let you edit them I have found,however download any of mine and edit away they are all editable,as are a few more posted here but names don't spring to mind,none in my opinion are any better or worse than each other they just have their own little attributes that makes them unique in their own way.So go on and play around m8,it will be fun.

Thanks, I cannot stand those youtube videos that "show" you how to do things. I find them tedious and unusable. I'd rather just get some instructions, an application and let me do it. Yet, so many seem to post "youtube instructions" i write this stuff for a living and have never found a video more useful than written instructions. However, that's my bias.
I'll go check out some of yours.
I agree with your assessment that NONE of the themes I've downloaded have been editable. I don't want to ADD more widgets and icons to a theme. I just want to start with a blank canvas and let me do it.
Yet, if all these themes exist, HOW were they created? I'm really not going to watch a youtube video. There has to be a building application somewhere. Not re-engineer something already there.
One question, when you say "download mine" where do I find yours. None of the ones I've seen through the application say who created them.
mine and others are in the screenshots and themes forum beneath the general discussion.I agree fully with the video and much prefer to read it as I find it more followable,but again I suppose that is my bias too.You can start almost fresh,grab a theme as posted earlier,then delete everything,if the theme uses everything widget this is simple to do,just press screen and choose remove,then change the wallpaper by selecting your own then simply add you own widgets etc via the inbuilt everything widget (although this isn't as stable as it could be) or download widgets from playstore etc then add them,hope this helps apologies if I seem to waffle on.

Hi sanjsrik,
I'm the one who made the YouTube tutorial videos, so I apologize if they weren't that informative. Those were created in the beginning just to give people a basic understanding of what Themer was about.
Alldroid is correct in saying that starting with a fresh blank theme is the best, then just seeing what works and what doesn't. My advice would be learn more about Zooper Widget, as a lot of the newer themes use it, and it's brilliant. That's all Themer is essentially, a wallpaper, some widgets, and maybe some icons if you're feeling brave. We do recommend making the grid size quite large, in order to make the widget resizing easier. you might also notice that the new themes include incredibly detailed icons, these are in fact Zooper fonts, so as mentioned play around with the Zooper widgets found in the new themes.
If you need help/ideas feel free to ask, I'm always here to help!

Marco,
I would definitely go for it... though I am more of a "hands on" student and for learning I need to hear the stuff (that's how I learned all the stuff during college - my wife reading the material and me laying down and just listening - damn, she was so furious when I got the same grades as she did... ;o]]]), the text might help you gain more audience among those "give-me-a-manual-and-shut-up" types.
You have created a superb product for the tinkerers so a step further in the direction of a superb customer/user support would be a definitive nod in the right direction.
I personally would like more short video tutorials on specific features, how they work, what is their purpose and the mechanics (Yeah, you guessed it, I am not that familiar with design and graphics;o]) and maybe a tut on the 'codes' for custom formats of zooper widget.
well and maybe few more videos with theme designers like the one you guys did with GeriArts would also be inspiring... ;o]]]
another definate yes here too thanks,would make it a more better product in my opinion.

I promise I am NOT complaining. I promise I am NOT criticizing. I am just asking the question, WHAT is Themer?
from everything I understand, it's not a true "application", it's a wallpaper that then people can add widgets that "do" things.
if this is the case, HOW are these widgets "locked" where they can't be changed in a lot of the wallpapers I've downloaded.
THAT is my only question.
Oh, and how come there's not a "builder" application for Themer?

No worries we weren't offended by your comments, we're just trying to make everyone's theming experience as easy possible.
Themer is a launcher. Just like TouchWiz, Nova, Apex, ssLauncher, etc. It's a link between the hardware and software, you could think of it as the body/shell of a car. The car can have a different shell, and with Themer, it's shell can be customized in seconds.
Calling it a wallpaper with widgets doesn't really do it justice, as a launcher incorporates your app drawer as well, and maybe some more features arriving soon.
One thing to remember is that Themer, once stripped to its core, it a launcher, just like the rest. By that we mean you're able to edit/add/remove widgets, change wallpapers, change the icons (icon pack support arriving soon), etc. To unlock widgets, hold down on the homescreen - Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Repeat the process to lock them, or alternatively you can go into the main Themer settings - Advanced - Desktop - enable Lock Desktop Widgets.
Whenever the widgets/icons are unlocked, this can be called the "builder" mode, as you can add/remove/edit widgets and icons.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for the constructive email.
I think the biggest confusion anyone has with your "application" is that it doesn't seem like an application. It really does sound like a wallpaper with widgets. For example:
* Is there the ability to add groups for grouping together like kinds of applications?
* Can I add my own icons for applications?
Think GoLauncher or some other such "launcher" application that exists.

1. With Themer, you can add in Smart Category folders. For example the Games Category, when you install a new game, it will show up in this category and then whichever theme has a games folder, this new game will automatically appear. This saves a lot of time, but you can also manually add in your own categories or manually add in your own apps to a category.
2. Icon pack support is still limited. If you have icons on the homescreen, these can be edited manually. Some icon packs are supported, but you can also set them to other images in your gallery.

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

YES! I watched many of the videos and I'm still very much confused. I have specific ideas for what I want, and although I can figure some things out on my own by trial and error, reinventing the wheel is both time-intensive and tiresome.
Also, I am glad to hear that icon pack support is on the list. Although my plans include heavy use off the app drawer, I'd like to have the icons in there be pleasing to my eye as well as the ones on my home screen.
It's a great product, one that I've already suggested to several friends. I just am more demanding than the "average bear".

most icon packs by default don't work with themer,but there is a way round this although you will need to manually change the icons you want to use.
Download apk extractor from Playstore
download the icon packs you want to your device
using apk extractor extract the apk of the icon pack you downloaded,this file will be stored on your device main storage in the apk extrat folder.
Attach your device to your laptop etc,then drag the extracted apk icon pack to it
rename the icon.apk and change the apk extension to zip
open with your favourite zip program
then simply extract the icon file images
