Ok i know there are a bunch of different launchers and battery icons but where can i find them? I'm talking about the ones people use on here, a lot of them aren't on the market. I'll try a few different launchers but as far as the battery in particular i like the one on Macnut10 where its yellow circle with the number in the middle. I'm running the unoffcial froyo jk2 right now so everything is like stock and nothings customized. So if someone could point me in the right direction for both id appreciate it cuz i've looked all over and couldn't find anything.
Read this section... Metamorph is your friend. Some battery mods are flashable zips, those usually include accurate battery fixes. Once you have that you can make a metamorph to use any drawables you want in the framework-res.apk. Remember, always make a nandroid backup.

Dude, if you don't know how to use metamorph or flash a zip, you should not be running something experimental like JK2 froyo, you're gonna end up in a boat load of trouble for lack of knowledge. Metamorph is an app from the market, it really can't get much simpler as long as you're smart enough to only use morphs that are compatible with your ROM, as all ROMs have different specifications and compatability with framework. And you definitely do have time to learn because if your life was incredibly busy and time consuming with endless responsibilities you wouldn't give a **** about how pretty your battery icon looks. So you don't have time to learn anything, don't want to flash, don't want to morph, wtf do you want? An app with a huge button that creates whatever you're imagining? Your battery icon will turn circular if you do the following, download ROM manager and select partition SD card, it will reveal customized framework that is masked by the stock look you see now, it's not yellow though, it's blue.
Yes, I care how my phone looks. The point of this thread is since obviously a lot of people make their own it was for people to kindly post the zips or apks so I can try some out thanks for another un helpful post.

I'm going to go ahead and say it as well.. this belongs in the q&a section. Besides, I think you'd be much better off there seeing as how you already pissed off everyone in this section. Better yet, press the back button and READ the themes and apps section. Although, all the wonderful and simple customizations you seem to be looking for do not exist... You really should have taken the advice on Metamorph you were given instead of childishly assuming there is some magical apk that will make your imaginary "customizations" come to life. Oh well. Good luck with your searching.

Ok I'm not going to even try to defend the original poster as that was all uncalled for but the question is valid. The only metamorphs I've tried on 2.2 has not worked or has made me do a nandroid restore. It'd be nice if I atleast knew how to change the notification bar and the battery icon to something a little different. If anyone has done this successfully with an existing metamorph, please post it, if not for the original poster, then for me. I'd certainly thank you for it. And yes, I know how to use metamorph, but even some of the metamorphs in the themes and apps section don't work with all mods in 2.1, let alone 2.2.
Thanks

I was just curious if anybody could point me to any information regarding how to start *making* themes. Like how they're assembled...it seems to just be a bunch of media, but what exactly, I don't see a manifest or anything in there that directs what to go where. Also trying to figure out what's in the APK's? Anybody have any input here? A link? Some knowledge? A simple theme to tear apart (and/or how to do it)?
I'm not much of an artist, I'm just trying to figure out how this stuff works, nobody wants to tell anybody anything, it seems, I don't get why .
Also, how does the theme tie into the framework at all? I'm assuming this is the framework/SDK version? Like they're typically just icons or pictures and the like, no?
Thanks in advance, guys .
No manifest? Have you ever unzipped a theme?
I would do a lot of reading. But since it is in a sticky... Im def not going to link you.
The apks contain the modified images and xml's.
Oh and this is a question. This goes in the q&a section.

Yes, this is the 3rd one I opened, I don't see anything like a manifest document. Some have the installation script, but that's just boiler plate stuff regarding installation, the rest is just a .JAR or .APK - both of which are most commonly used for compiled code.
I apologize for asking this in this forum, I keep forgetting that this isn't a forum dedicated to android dev, but only postings of android dev, not questions. My mistake. I ask that an admin move this to the Q&A section.
I didn't see nor do I see any stickies here regarding theme structure .
I'll report my post now.
Try the themes board? There was a guide there last I checked.

Thx, and I do want to give back and help the community. It's what I like doing. Unfortunately I'm not getting much headway in the realm of Kernel or ROM work, but I'm sure eventually I'll find something.
People get antsy when the rules aren't followed, which is understandable. I just keep forgetting the dev section isn't a place for Q&A - blah. 2nd time this happened - this will very hopefully be the last, though >.<.

I see you're new here, so I'll try being helpful.
XDA has a rich history of sharing with one another. This can be anything from wallpapers (such as this thread) to mods to applications (see modded Android Market .apk files) in any of the numerous forums. I would encourage you to take a look around some of the other forums to see how members are generally quite helpful.
Maybe it's a manners type thing. If you don't have anything constructive to share, don't. I'd rather carry on the XDA history of members sharing with one another and working together instead of being rude/inconsiderate/etc.
Thank you for the link. I'm sure it's fantastic for people who aren't really concerned with how the wallpaper is clipped when in portait/landscape mode, or the search bar and dock. I tried to trim these so they would look decent in both modes. If you don't care for them, the back button is on the top left side of the browser, you don't need to check back on this thread anymore. It'll do fine without your criticism.
Here's a few I've been using. You might recognize them as android or iOS wallpapers-- resized to 1024x1024

Ok, So pretty much what I have here is the Droid x2 and I want to root it, BUT, I don't know how and I don't want to screw my phone up, so I'm looking for someone to explain in detail step by step how to do it because then I can do it on my own from there, any help would be great, i'm just looking for a textbook definition and a simple step by step process on how to do this without bricking my phone, again any help with be great thanks.
I think you may find this thread useful, if not have a good look around the Droid Incredible forums as this thread came from there.
I was just looking for someone who could explain how to root and the whole process kinda from scratch because there are hundreds of threads to look through and that's just asking for eye sores..

go there.
It says one click root for droid3 but it is same for all moto devices running gingerbread.
just be sure u are on Android version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
U can verify ur android version by going to settings >about phone> android version
if u are on 2.2.2 then press the button on top of about phone that says system updates and follow instructions to update ur phone to gingerbread(2.3.x)
Good luck and make sure to follow ALL directions EXACTLY (feel free to pm me if u need help)
Thanks a lot, I'll take a look at it.
Ok, so I used the one click root and it worked... now im wondering, now that its rooted, What can i do with it, say change the button lay out and other stuff like that the theme, and so on
You can run ROMs on your phone now using boot strap recovery. I use Eclipse but there are other great ROMs available as well. Just make sure you understand what version of android each ROM works with.

Do u mean the hardkey layout? I haven't seen a mod for that yet but it may be possible.
U can also now remove/freeze the bloat u don't use if u want((u know...those pesky apps that keep running even after u kill em. Taking up ram and just getting on ur nerves cuz u can't kill it. Like blockbuster, kindle, etc...)) there is a list in the forum of which are safe to freeze/remove.
Just be sure to read before u try. Then read again. Then some more. Then when u feel u r comfortable with what the mod does to ur phone, make sure u follow all directions EXACTLY and have fun and enjoy the different available mods, scripts, hacks, and of course Roms. U will be addicted in no time to flashing roms and making nandroid backups.
O yeah. Best thing u could EVER do right now is MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP using system recovery app from the link above. Trust me. U will be happy u did it when u end up needing one as we all have at one point.
I also recommend posting any question u have in this thread or a thread that pertains to ur question as starting a new thread wit a question that's been asked a hundred times wont get a good reaction

wasnt necessarily trying to be a debbie downer but take a look a the dev forum and you will see threads galore for how to root.
however I did notice that there is no guide on how to root 2.3.4.

I find that "noobs' are more or less "afraid" that they will brick and are just looking for info and guidance on how NOT to do that.
But that's the great thing about these types of forums. If u don't wanna help then don't. There is no need to be mean. Im not saying that u or booked were outright mean but if u can see that the OP has already been pointed in the direction and/or is receive help them why post telling him to do everything himself when he obviously doesn't have to. I was a noon my self at one point and yeah I did a TON of reading and rereading but some things don't set in until its said specifically and I have asked my fair share of "noob" questions also. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I don't even know where im going with this other than just be respectful and be nice lol
I creeped these forums (and all others) for a good 6 months before I even laid my first post. I googled everything, and READ! And you know what? I learned a fair amount.
The last month has been horrible. You see the same question/scenario in almost every subforum on here. The problem is, Android exploded as well as "modding" and became popular, and now everybody is tinkering.
I've only been involved with android for a year and a half, but when I got in it was almost a 'niche' cult type of thing. It was kind of uncool because it wasn't an iPhone. I loved it, I actually miss it. I remember showing my friends what a DROID 1 was capable of with a custom overclocked kernel.

They're still getting it organized so they might have just missed a thread or two.
The 'original' development refers to breakthroughs for the device and "cool stuff". For example, JB development, CM9, MIUI, and so on. On top of that, ROMs that have a lot of actual work put into them--ViperROM, MeanROM--are included because they take the base software that HTC gives us and add in extensive tweaks and such that make a somewhat noticeable difference in overall device performance.
The other section will be for ROMs that don't fit that description. For example, a themed ROM that just uses another ROM as a base, or a ROM that just has the buzzword-y, placebo tweaks that aren't really that big of a deal. Most ROMs will fit into this description.
I will say that I personally feel that they were too lenient on what was considered 'original', and I feel that some of the ROMs there don't belong in that section.
Thanks for the replys. I myself feel that one development section just makes things much easier to navigate. More reliable than having to search through two different forums.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It all seems very opinion based. I just don't see this working out well. Some will be considered original just because of who makes them. Even if it doesn't happen that way, some devs will feel that way. I don't know about other phones but I think 98% of the roms out there have some kind of performance tweaks, otherwise it's a theme. Just my opinion I guess we'll have to wait and see.
