I love the clean blue of this theme, specifically the dialer, however I like the over all feel of it. I have no clue how or where to start to port this if it is even possible.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Needs to work for a Froyo ROM, like KaosFroyo v32.

it should be able to to ported, if you go to the main android forums there is this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
Quick answer to can it be ported: yes. Your one major obstacle will be that this theme is for a higher resolution phone like the Droid, where they use .9.PNG files. So, if you wanted to give this a shot, I'd suggest starting with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526 , specifically post #69: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7522401&postcount=69 but would recommend giving the thread a quick skim to get the gist of it. Also, if you run that and it doesn't change everything you need, there's a guide on how to make or edit the 9.png files here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580351
This should get you warmed up at least.

Thanks I will look into it.. I felt it might be a bit challenging due to higher res, etc..
Anyone had any luck with this theme on the Legend with CM7?
[THEME] MattedBlues - CM7 Final/6/SalvageMod & Sense
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848
It looks awesome...
did you try it? Do a nandroid backup download and try it - then tell us how it went..
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13111708#post13111708
Good idea, thanks. I would love to have this work for the Legend, it's by far the most polished CM7 theme I've seen.
Just tried installing for cm7.
Besides the wifi, I also found the keybord having grafic error ect. Gallery also broken.
awesome skin, if it worked proparly.

I now have MattedBlues working on my Legend. I used the method this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841720 (Method 1). It was actually fairly straightforward.
Using that method, I merged the theme-files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959065 with the files from the offical CM7.0.3 zip file. Just make sure you download the theme which is compatible with current version of CM.

Would you mind sharing the result with us?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Do you mean sharing the modified theme-files, or sharing a screenshot? As I have said in this thread, I don't feel comfortable with anyone distributing other versions of the theme without the creator's explicit permission.
But it really isn't difficult merging the files yourself. You should try it. =)

Maybe you can post a description of your achievement in the official theme thread, along with asking the creator for permission to post the theme for others? I personally think the creator will be happy his/her theme has reached another device??!!
It's all about sharing. Otherwise places like XDA wouldn't really be what it is today..

I really didn't do anything in particular with phone.apk. Is the theme-porter method not working for you? If it's a problem with the dialer, I might not notice, as I'm using Go Dialer.
@C_Man: Good point. I posted a question here. I fairy new to both Android OS and XDA, and I don't much of the etiquette yet. Figured I'd tread carefully.

Yeah i guess you also converted with hdpi to mdpi with theme-porter. If you do that everything works except the dialer.
The creator - jabbawalkee - said that, as long as I give proper credit, I'm free to distribute it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1699092/MattedBlues_for_HTC_Legend_CM7.0.3.rar
Here are the files that I've used. Apart from the dialer, some notification icons and the font being a little small, it's working like a charm.
If someone has an easier way of sharing files, that won't eat my monthly dropbox bandwith, please let me know =)
Also, I see people talking about a "thank you" button, but I can't seem to find it. Any hints?
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?
Hello fellow Arc owners.
I have a quick question for you all.
What do you wish your handset could do that it can't?
Something you've always wanted to be able to do with your phone but has never happened, no-one's ever found a way.
Whatever this something is, it has to be possible to do by way of an app - so no super-high-res screens, batteries that last a year on a single charge or anything else hardware related, we're just talking software.
And I'm not talking an updated GingerBreak or something like that. I mean a proper, legit, above board idea.
I'd love to hear any/all sensible ideas, thanks.
NB: I'm not looking to steal anyone's ideas, if you've got a plan for the next killer app then go for it and I wish you all the best.
I'm just trying to find out if there's a niche out there that could be filled...
Im thinking......facial or thumb print unlock screens.....no idea why though.

Thumb print.. won't be feasible on current screens
And facial.. would take too long compared to swiping ?
A snap shot feature would be nice like a system restore. I know there are way to do it in Recovery but it would be nice to have a application within Stock ROM because Recovery is not available within Stock we need to Flash the custom ROM like CM for it.
A better (and free) lock screen could be good ! ..
I used to love how I could use the iPhone/iPod as a touchpad to control the mouse on the computer. Something similar for the arc would be a good idea. Should be graphically pleasing though.
I love to be able to use the camera button unlock the phone directly to the camera app, by long pressing it, so it doesn't happen by mistake. And when you turn off the screen or press the back button it would go back to being locked.

As mentioned, finger prints would require different hardware.
Facial recognition is simply fraught with too many problems to be practical.

Really !! You know how to create a snapshot? Or access it?
Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Allows Screenshots Without Rooting
Don't know anything more about it though, sorry.
Sorry I think you got me wrong ...! Snapshot i meant a complete image of the system so we can restore it back to previous state. Let's say if something screws up we can restore the image
Right, ok.
I thought you had made two suggestions - screenshots being one and backups being the other.
I could be wrong but I'm not sure that's possible to do unless you're in recovery. I have a feeling that it's only possible to copy certain parts of the OS when it's not running.
As I say, I could be completely wrong but I can't help but feel that there's a reason why recovery is needed to made Nandroid backups.
May be I want to capture video of the activities I do on my device (just like capturing screenshot)...
Though m not sure if its achievable or not!!!
an app which can change anything in the system .. like the default wallpaper settings ..i dont mean the main wallpaper ... change the color .. change the notification bar ... but that easy change anything in the system ... where u can feel easy on making ur own system ... but the problem i dono how to make i hope somebody go on with my idea .... its free for u all ^_^ ... the first who will do this plz let me be the first one who tries it ^_^
thx
I am expecting an application that can show the time and other notification when screen is off. It means that the time can be checked without needing to wake up the screen. W 800 used this technology before. Very useful!

+1 , and the time/notifications have to move up over the screen after each minute (like a screensaver) (like Nokia/Symbian has)

a widget to toggle between "WCDMA preferred" and "2G only".. and not one that's just a short cut to the network settings menu.

Okay, so even though this is my first post here I've been reading this forums from the shadows for a while now and I thought it was time to ask for something that gives me real bad headaches. No need to say that I've read all similar posts and still didn't find an answer.
The thing is that I'd really like to have color emojis on my i9300 running stock TouchWiz 4.3.
As far as I know, you can not have color emojis on < 4.4 KK because it seems .ttf doesn't support colors. I've also read somewhere that another reason is CBDT / CBLC tables are necessary and they are only supported in 4.4 and above.
(On a side note, a friend of mine did have color emojis on his i9300 running 4.3 as well)
The question is, is there any way to backport CBDT / CBLC tables support or whatever from KK to JB?
Thank you!
PS: I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, so mods feel free to move this elsewhere

Change the theme.
I quickly got quite annoyed by Chrome's new 'feature' of showing customized address bar colors for certain websites. I simply prefer my address bar (and anything attached to it) to be the same default color as it always was.
As there was no option in chrome to disable this feature, I wrote this tiny Xposed module that intercepts the call to 'getThemeColor' for the chrome tabs and simply returns the default color instead.
Tested on Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) running CM12.1
// Edit:
As I was not that consistent with my naming scheme, the name in the Xposed repo turned out slightly different: "Chrome toolbar Color Killer"
(For those interested that were unable to find the module)
Thanks for this, was annoying me too!
Seems to work fine on my Nexus 5 running 6.0.1

hey man, it's just an idea for you, but could you make this work the other way round too? i mean, forcing chrome to tint the bar of a webpage in a certain color.. it could be a pro feature so you could make some cash i'm no programmer so i don't know the technical difficulties behind this but it sure would be awesome
Sorry guys for not replying any sooner, but I've been crazy busy at work
Also, I got myself a new phone which remains unrooted for now, so any of the issues that may occur with the Xposed module I cannot reproduce.

From your log I assume that Chrome has moved some internals around since I built this module. Perhaps someone would be interested in picking things up and figure out what to tap into to disable this annoying feature once more.

Sounds like a great idea! Though that is one hell of a lot more complicated than what I was aiming for. I would be happy to share the code I have with anyone who might be interested in fixing / updating stuff. Maybe they could also figure out a way to include your idea.
For now I won't be working on this module anymore, but if someone would be interested in the source code, just let me know. There's probably a way I can share it...
A simpler idea is to make the bar always default to a color, for example black. Coupled with chromium night mode it would be the ultimate night browsing experience.
Let's fix this great module!

You could share the source code on github. I do not have any time right now, but I would be interested in working on it, come April (2017). That is, if someone else has not already done it by then.
