[Q] Mik's CM7 6.5.5 Theme problem - Optimus One, P500, V General

I've downloaded and applied a few themes from this thread (applied via cm7 Theme Chooser), but for some reason the themes only change the phone's appearance partially. In the screenshots for example, you've got a new lockscreen, the market is different and the main dock is a different colour. But when I apply these themes, none of those change, nor do I know how to change them. No option to do so in the settings of ADW nor CM7 menu...
Am I doing something wrong?

you should look thru the post the lock screen changes are usually zip files and wont work cause they are mdpi and i think we are hdpi you can reaserch it im pretty sure but i could be wrong thats also why the rest of the themes dont work if you want to ask you should ask the thread you pulled the themes from

Try to make a reboot after aplying a theme. Mine are all working great.

No, I think our device is mdpi, because hdpi themes don't work. I also tried to reboot but it didn't help... I dunno...

Eh...
- first of all, reboot is required after changing themes, unless you use Notification Restart app
- second, this device is MDPI obviously, Google it
- additional mods, such as the lockscreen, do require patching of framework via MetaMorph or ZipThemer. This can only be done on deodexed ROMs. mik's ROM is not deodexed by default, you need to deodex and reflash it yourself.

1. I use notification restart app.
2. Isn't that what I just said?
2. I didn't know that, but I have already used MetaMorph to change the lockscreen.

Well, that obviously will not work correctly, as explained. Best case it will bail out, worst case it will mess up the files.
P.S. I sincerely do NOT advise to use the MetaMorph app, since it does not backup anything, and the way it patches and "reboots" the device is just a nice WTF. ZipThemer is way safer and way more controllable.

Well as I understand it only messes with the lockscreen files, so even if someone manages to mess everything up with it, it's easy to fix.
But thanks, I'll try ZipThemer instead

It can mess up anything from framework-res.apk to SystemUI.apk to Phone.apk to overwriting your system fonts (big thumbs down to Android font "management") and even more - all depending on the scope of customization done in the mod.
ZipThemer:
1/ Shows you exactly which files will be modified.
2/ Makes a flashable backup of them.
3/ Makes a flashable ZIP for the mod.
4/ Does not half-reboot your device, making you wonder WTH is going on.

Thanks bro
This is awesome! I used a font pack to make my font Exocet (Diablo 2's font). Here it is for anyone else that wants this. Only problem is there isn't a degree symbol. So on temperatures there is only a big period. If anyone can fix this let me know. I'm also going to look into it. In the meantime, it still looks amazing!
EDIT: I fixed the degree symbol so now it's not a period. This font looks great! And is it weird that I've gotten better battery life with this font?
PS: I am now the envy of all of the nerds at my workplace!

If your on a gingerbread rom they will not work because of clockwork 3xx we have to wait till that's figured out.
Used this to rid the Royal Thunder Rom of the fancy yet hard to read font, solution is simple downgrade cwmod version to a 2x reboot into clockwork, flash font, reboot then simply revert to 3x recovery.. all better Hope this is useful.

Some of you might already know this, but I always recommend trying Root Tools in the market. It comes with easy to install Fonts
Has anyone found a way to change fonts on CM7? There are edify packages in the big fontpack thread, but they don't work, nothing changes. I tried dropping the ttf's in the system font folder then clearing cache partition and dalvik cache, just bootloops. It's the last visual element I'm trying to change to combine the awesomeness of froyo and gingerbread.

It worked for me. I'm running a Vibrant CM7, and I flash fonts like it's spring break. I flashed a 2.5.1.2 recovery. What error did it give you? If it gives you the edify scripting, you need to double check the script in the font pack. If update-binary and updater-script are not in there, then it wont work.

[MOD] DL09 AOSP/Puzzle Lock with Reboot Options (added accurate batt)

This mod is specifically for DL09. If you are on DJ05, you can find a similar mod here.
Most themes already have reboot options added, but if you're like me you prefer the stock theme. Because there have been no releases of the reboot options mod since DL09, I took the time today and added it to the DL09 framework (specifically the android.policy.jar, framework.jar, and framework-res.apk). Once it was added, I realized very quickly that there was a problem--it only worked with the stock glass/puzzle lock. This is because stupid me used a stock deodoxed android.policy.jar and not Adrynalyne's modified one from Supah Clean. So, I pulled the policy from Adrynalyne's ROM, edited it to work with the reboot options, and repackaged it with my prior edits to the framework.jar and framework-res.apk. End result: it worked!
Precaution
You must be deodexed for this mod to work! Don't even try to flash this on stock. If you don't know if you are deodexed, use a file manager and go to system>app and see if you see any .odex files. If you do, you're not deodexed. If you don't, you're deodexed.
Credits
(1) Untermensch - the original creator of the mod for the Vibrant. It was his guide I used to do this.
(2) Adrynalyne - as mentioned above, I used his android.policy.jar from Superclean as a base.
For those who are not familiar, I have attached a picture below to show you what the reboot options look like. Basically, they give you the ability to reboot, reboot recovery, and reboot download mode. Again, these can be found in just about every theme. Their purpose here is to give you the option to apply them to a stock theme.
Below are the zips to apply the mod. Simply flash via CWM and enjoy!
EDIT 1: I pulled the original zips because weird **** was happening when flashed over a theme. I realized later that all I needed to do was add the stock twframework-res.apk to update script to fix the problem. You now should be able to flash this over any theme you have already applied.
EDIT 2: Added accurate (circle) battery. I pulled images from one of the themes .... can't remember which.
Can somebody mirror this or, Ben, can you place a dif link? Totally would love the aosp with reboot options but I.get a dropbox error....something about files are safe but...( i.can't remember the rest). Thanx in advance

Use Root Explorer and go to Data>Local. Create a file (not folder) named enable_glass_lock. You can also simply flash the zip again (just don't wipe data after doing so). There is no need to wipe data before or after applying this mod.
So I can just flash this over my stock dl09 with otb voodoo 1.3ghz kernel and I get that sicc battery and reboot options and nothing else changes?

Well I ddnt wait long enough for you to reply haha I gave it a go not because of the reboot options but more for the battery circle. So I installed the puzzle lock option on my stock dl09 non deodexed stock rom runing otb voodoo oc 1.3ghs stock voltage and I selected to backup to be on the safe side. It backed up everthing then abortd installation so it said!!! After installation said aborted it sat at the backup screen so I held down all three buttons cause I hate raking my battery covr off. Ebooted phone. Flawless everything works perfect with that cool battery circle but I do not have the reboot options. Don't mind though just wanted my battery percentage in the status bar. So just to let everyone know at least you get half the mod haha. I'm happy. I am not deodexed cause I've done so much to this phone and just don't wanna start over. If someone know how to get me deodexed without starting over id appreciate it. If I'm saying something wrong forgive me as I'm not an expert in this. I mainly mess with my viewsonic g tab. I would alo like to just get my status bar black in color. But don't care to change anything else. But would deal with minor changes just don't wanna lose stuff and have to start over.
Thanks a lot

You could try xeudoxus on droid forums xUltimate, it's really easy to use and it just adb pulls files from your phone, deodexes them then you adb push them back. dont worry there are instructions on how to if you need the help, he also has an xUltimate that helps you edit hex codes for color changes on your apk and jar files, again instructions are available. here is the link with the info, and if you get stuck during the process there are read me files and a link supplied in the files to his site. Happy Modding

@DaleV I bet he may have figured it out since january.

Im looking for this exactly but for the EB05 build. Does it exist somewhere else? I'd even settle for just the AOSP lock screen.....

what version are you running?
Think you could nandroid yours so i could give it a try?
Right now I'm running Kahl's latest GalaxyXTv4 ROM. These are the updates I made to get everything themed & should be applied in order. I think they'll only work on this ROM as I tried using the one I built while Running Dexter's 1.3 & they just boot looped.
1. DarkFroyo
2. WhiteText
3. OrangeOctane
I tried building it as one update but couldn't get it to work
Copy to OpenRecovery/updates & apply, wipe dalvik-cache & cache partitions reboot. If this doesn't work I'll try the nandroid when I get home tonight.
Did you all applied the metamorphframework- update from khalpower?
The extreme Dialers morphs worked for me- for example...
And second: maybe some of them don't work because it is said there that this morph are actually made for cynanogenMod?

That's part of the beauty of the ZipThemer method, if files (e.g. SystemUI.apk) aren't there on your device when it builds the update.zip it skips those files.
Thanx guys.... 3rd the morphs worked.... sort of got a lot of errors.... i think my SDcard is baked.
Im getting a new one soon so il try again later on....
Yeap was the SDcard for some reason....
reformatted and then re-partitioned and all good thanks for the help every one much much appreciated

[Q] Theme compactable with Khalpower V4 GalaxyXT ROM

Since I saw some AMAZING themes but I was unable to install'em, I wanna ask if somebony is able to link some themes which are compactable with Khalpower's V4 GalaxtXT ROM, couse I tryed like 20-25 themes and from all only DarkFroyo V2 and 1 more works.
Thanks alot!
The Honeycomb-theme works fine on V4 (except that you need to replace the keyboard with some keyboard from the Market, but that's the only bug there is).

Kahl has this one posted somewhere in one of his threads. It replaces the stock LatinIME.apk & works fine. Just copy the zip to openrecovery/updates boot into Open Recovery, appy the update, wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partitions & reboot.

When i try to apply the galaxyxtv4 theme update, it does not work! i still have the red theme and i dont know what to do anymore. Isnt that how one apply a theme? am i missing something?
I believe others had issues with that update too. If you're running the PersonaRedv4 I think you can just restore the system partition from KP full GalaxyXTv4 (nandroid restore) & wipe the dalvik-cache & cache partition & reboot.
I was wondering... if I install propper theme which works woth this rom but replace apps from other theme (and apps are more - 6 in compactable theme and about 20 in that one that I will replace with), so will it work as it works with bootanimation, couse if I keep the working theme but put difetent bootanimation it still works.
I'd give a guarded yes. If the filenames of the apps you want to replace match EXACTLY (e.g. maps.apk is not the same as Maps.apk) then they will be overwritten. If they don't match your best bet is probably to remove the apps you want to replace before installing the new ones. You will be limited as to the size of the system partition so adding files as system apps could be problematic but replacing one modded app with another should generally be OK. Another thing to note is (I think) not all apps can be installed as system apps. Note that it is always a good idea to do a nandroid backup before you try making the changes so (when) things go wrong (and they will ) you can get back to a functioning device as painlessly as possible.
Hi guys.
I'm looking for a working Gingerbread Theme for the V4XT rom.
Could you please help me?
Thanx in advance.
I was wondering if this one coud work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9784619&postcount=13
I was previously used it on my original 2.1 Rom and it was absolutely perfect.
I have today tried to install many themes with the new khalpower v4.
Result was the follwing: I was able to get a decent outcome. Keyboard bug could be fixed but after a couple of theme flashes things started to get weired. First my gmail app stopped working.
After that I only got jibberish as fonts so that I was unable to change languages or anything else for that matter.
I'd very much appreciate ports for the new v4. Right now I'm using the fix described above. Thanks so much! Worked like a charm

[MOD|Flashable] ZTE Theme Store

Introduction:
As we all know, the A2017U, and G come bundled with a few themes and that's it. Well, the Axon 7, Chinese variant, not only includes more, but also a theme store that you can download from. This thread contains packages from the Chinese ROM that will enable your phone to use the theme store with a small caveat--you have to register for a ZTE Account (more on that below) and log in to it in order to download themes. ZTE's theme engine is pretty basic and doesn't really allow for much customization, but anything is a welcome addition to what we currently have.
What ZTE's theme solution does:
-Changes Icons
-Changes wallpaper
-Basic color schemes for settings, and some ZTE apps
-Changes Lockscreen appearance
Procedure
First, you'll need to register an account here. It is all in Chinese, so I would suggest using Google Translate so that you can understand what you're doing. You'll need to click the "email registered" tab because registering with your phone number will not work. Once you have registered and validated your account, you can use it to log in to the theme store on your phone and begin downloading themes.
Current issues
ZTE's dynamic lock screen doesn't allow you to swipe to unlock your phone when you have notifications and they're visible. What you'll need to do is to tap the "bell" icon to hide your notifications in order to swipe to unlock. Fingerprints bypass this. I'm sure someone talented can decompile the two lock screen apps and figure out how to change this. I won't be doing it.
Download: ZTE-A2017-ThemeStoreMOD-by-freeza_DrakenFX
This flashable will include the following:
ZTE Account
Theme Store
Lock Screen Framework
ZTE Lock Now
app permissions whitelist so these apps should automatically be granted the proper permissions
Thanks
DrakenFX for being awesome, giving me the idea to try this, and giving me the ZTE Account registration link.
Great work! I know this a stretch but wondering if this works on LOS or RR?
EDIT: Finally tried it on RR. It didn't work. Guess it's only for stock atm.
So this way you can get the stock theme on the European model?

I guess there isn't a stock theme in there, but maybe there is. Could someone confirm?
All I want is a ZIP that gives me a dark theme for apps like Settings. I don't really want to install all this just to get access to a theme store that may or may not have a dark theme. If anybody spots one in there and can make a ZIP out of it, I'll be eternally grateful.
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I install this?
@freeza, is this a lock screen, could you share the theme name to download.
@freeza it's ok on A2017U 7.0, but seem not work well on A2017U 7.1.1 .

Were you rooted? or which variant are you? IF you can give a little more info, it wont be so hard to help
I registered with email, but logging in, in the app, only allows logging in with a phone number. What?
Edit: Nevermind, tapping "others" in the bottom left allows logging in by email.
Edit 2: And am I just doing something wrong, or do the icon packs not work? I thought it might just be an issue with Nova Launcher, but the icon themes don't seem to work on the stock launcher either.
Edit 3: I just noticed there's an app called Screen Lock installed now (which does exactly what it's name says) did that come as a part of this installer?

After I applied the theme

Is there a way to uninstall after flashing? I only installed it to see if I could figure out where the image for the clear view background (for axon 7 clearview windowed case) is stored. It didn't help me figure it out, so I was wondering if I can uninstall it. Thanks.

There's other ways, Im just not sure what's in the zip. You can check what's in the zip, what gets flashed to your system and then use root explorer or something similar to manually delete the apk/files that were flashed. Be careful though. Definitely backup before you do that.
