Hello devs.. i am currently running the 7/11/10 version of slideme mr1 v4.. is it possible to take the messaging app, the lockscreen and the slide left to answer right to decline phone feature and put it into the slide mr 1 rom? I l know cm 6 is froyo based but the applications i seek are not.. (at least i dont think so) i know the gmail app is 2.2 only for sure. Can i take the phone.apk from cyan and use it in mr1 v4? Would that change the lockscreen also? And does anyone know how i can install the htc calendar that came wit the slide? It has the refresh option and kind of a black outer shell in the UI. And for some reason i cant install the gallery 3d.apk even though the change log says it was removed. genius button too. Thanks in advance ! You guys are always a big help when i get jammed up
I was wondering the same thing on a few options. Basically I just wanted the Facebook/Contact intergration add and I would be set with that.
Try it out and test your results... pull the apks from one update.zip and put them into the other update.zip then flash;
or .. pull the apks reboot into recovery adb push them to the /system/app folder...
post your results;
questions go in Q&A... a lot of these questions about compatability you just won't get an answer to; you have to test them yourself...
the reboot script i posted I straight up pulled out of a random rom for a samsung moment...

Don't bother....Sense apps do not work on roms they didn't come from....Especially since one is 2.2 and 2.1...Apps aren't all just backwards compatible, you cant pull rosie and put it into Cm6..Nope that wont work, sense apps rely on the "HTC" framework, which isn't in Vanilla roms. And no Cyan cant add the framework(exc htcmusic/IME). Sense is closed sourced unlike android.

Thanks for your feedback ! But you must have misread... i dont want to put sense apps on cyan 6. I want the lockscreen and the phone settings from cyan 6 to use on the 2.1 rom. I also would like to get the htc calendar back on the 2.1 rom im running because it originally came with the phone but for some reason this has just the regular calendar. And this 2.1 mr1 v4 rom is based off of the original rom that the slide came with so it should work. Does anyone know what apk has the information for how you answer or reject calls upon receiving them? Is it dialer or phone.apk ? Thx !
I am not 100 % sure but i think I remember reading that if you remove the lockscreen.apk that it will force the default android lockscreen ( the one you want to work) to work. If that doesnt work then I swear I can remeber one of clays roms had the expresso lockscreen taken out so if it is a APK then you can get it from there. I dnt have tome to check it out right now, but might be able to later.
Ok so i removed the htclockscreen.apk and the phone booted correctly.. but the lockscreen is now out of wack lol.. it still moves up and down like the original htc lock screen but it has the buttons of the lockscreen i want. so i cant slide left to right, i still slide up and down except it has the other buttons that you see in cyanogen 6 2.2 froyo
also i used the zip packeage that was provided at the top of that thread to change back to default lockscreen.. it worked but only to unlock the phone... i need the same thing for when i receive a call.. i want to slide left or right, not up or down to decline or answer calls
I was really hoping it woukd work. I wanted the original loccscreen too. Atleast you stopped me from trying now. There is. Neww rom out that mau be what you want but haven't had time to try it out myself yet.
yea me too... my phone is out of commission now because of removing all the apks and pushing and pulling and mixing rom elements lol ! ill flash a new zip soon and be back to normal tho.. which rom is that you speak of my good sir?
I've seen threads in other forums for other devices where they just modified a file with like one line of code to tell the phone to put the clock off screen, also i heard that CM 6.1 will have this option I was just wondering if someone could create a CWM flashable zip for me that I could use that would remove the clock from the task bar and make it so the first this was the battery indicator?
I'm on the frankin-twiz final rom btw don't know if this would effect the ability to do this or anything?

I have been dying to figure out how to remove the taskbar clock if at all possible, didn't wanna start another thread as I noticed it was asked sometime ago, just wanted to get an UPDATE if someone could reply with some great solutions that would be great. Running the Newest Bionix-V ROM FYI
i saw this exact thing the other day i think it was in the theme section. ill look and post a link if i can find it
ok here it is... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929031
looks like its not a zip you can flash in CWM you just extract and push. looks pretty simple i didnt try it myself i kinda like the clock in the bar but looks like others are having no problem according to the thread.
I've done this and confirm its crazy easy. just move the service.jar to system/framework and reboot. reboot will take like 5 minutes, dont panic.
here is my thread with before/after pics:

Thanks guys for the help, TOTALLY liking the new look with no taskbar clock!
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?

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..
Eirki, how did you port phone.apk to mdpi?

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?
Good people of XDA-Forum,
this is my first post after following this forum for quite a while. I am using an international SGS3 and have been trying a lot of different ROM's during the last few months. A few days ago I went back to something quite similar to the stock ROM: Omega ROM V44, based on JB 4.2.1
The problem that I am not able to solve without help is the following:
After installing Omega V44 my phone had this new toggle bar with toggles for WiFi, GPS, Sound, Screen rotation and Bluetooth. As I dod not find out how to customise this, I have installed the well known APP Power Toggles. The problem noc is that the new toggle-bar is there, but the old one wasn't replaced by it and is still in the first row?
I have been Googling for the answer 6-8 hours yesterday and today, but it looks like I'm the only guy on the planet who has this problem. It may or not have something to do with the Omega Settings. I saw screenshots of an Omega Settings menu in the Omega V44 Thread in the developer forum, but on my ROM I can't find the Omega settings.
I hope that someone can shed some light onto this sad story.
Best,
Jacob Kane
This is a pre release leaked software build and so is not fully complete. One of the things missing is the notifications control.
Also, a lot of mods don't work on this new leak properly as they're still being tweaked and there will be slow progress until Samsung release the source code for the kernel etc.
My advice would be to use v43 if you want to mod lots of things.

====================
Im a Omega ROM users also and infact imusing V44.1 and it is running smooth.
if you are following the thread on Omega rom youll find the answer. Unfortunately V44 is still beta and MOD are not fully supported yet even custom kernel is not yet supported.

hope you find it helpful. goodluck
I would say that this is especially dificult without source code as:
1) The way toggles have been implemented by Google in 4.2 OSP is quite different from the way Samsung was doing it
2) Samsung's implementation of the new 4.2 behaviour is, again, different from both samsung's old implementation and Google's new one
So there's no way to adapt existing methods, one would have to decompile packages from the last leak and try to see how it works
Anyway, any updates on this will probably end up on wanam's 15-toggles thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876384
Hello guys first of all i want to apologize since my english are not the best. So now, i want to ask you , is there a way to get aosp lollipop status bar , notification drop down and quick toggles on my note 4? I mean as it is on the nexus 6.

Eithet flash a aosp rom like cm12, or try these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-systemui-themes-n910u-5-0-1-t3097608
There is one named aorp which is kinda like aosp
Also using wanam xposed, you can edit the colors of some elements to make things like aosp yourself...
Btw, ask your questions in Q&A section to keep forum organized

Pffff i cant believe i am the only one who wants this.. No one made a complete notification drop down like aosp. I would really flash cm 12 even though it is not available for n910c :'( sorry for the wrong section , i really dont know how this forum works my first thread
How about the icons like the WiFi and signal bars to make it look like stock android? I could do this on simplrom but now I'm on infinity ROM.
