[Q] theme problem in cm 9, 10 - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hi guys
i installed lots of themes that worked for other people like Sony uxp or touchwiz 5 but all i get is "this theme was n compiled properly'
is there any other solution except changing the build.prop?

No dude. Changing density is the only way. Or, if u have any experience compiling apk, maybe u can try to mod it yourself.

:good: great advice Thanks dude!:highfive:

You most probably have downloaded hdpi/xdpi themes
But our devices are mdpi
To run hdpi/xdpi theme in mdpi devices -
edit file /system/build.prop and change value of ro.sf.lcd_density=160
Set the value between 140-150
Then apply the theme and then set the value back to 160 :cheers::thumbup::beer:

i know the density changing method. if you know any thing else share here, pls.
btw i tried decompiling touchwiz with apk tool but it gave me "this apk is not compiled properly" (and i had installed jdk on my pc)

I get the same problem here running minicm6 final.
Wonder what it could be? I also for seom reason decided not to back up the original haha, i guess pulling it out of the original zip wont be too hard though.
On the other hand, looks great and I can still control brightness through the widget on the status bar, so not really a problem!!
Thanks guys!
Tested and working ! very nice !
I can't open brightness settings too, but I don't use it
i think the brightness setting issue may be because of something missing in framework-res,can somebody help me with it????

But, how in CM9? Doesn't appear this parameters in build.prop of CM9.

No. What I mean is I am finishing up an new ICS ROM. And I want a different theme to boot into DEFAULT the first time it boots without the person to need to select it. Example: Sense4 Theme in Cyanogenmod's theme chooser. Have that one boot as default the first time after initial install of Custom ROM instead of System theme. "WHERE IS THAT SETTING LOCATED!" I Know how to choose a theme in theme chooser.

In CM7 you can choose the default theme by editing the build prop. Then when that CM7 rom is installed, that custom theme is used instead. There has to be a way in CM9 too. HELP I'm not making one for X10 but found this Post asking the same question I am asking. This answer would help alot of us Devs

DPI /Build.prop tweak

Anyone know what dpi i have to set my Ace at to allow custom themes please as I cant apply any themes to the AKOP M6 ROM I flashed recently. Its a CM10 based theme
This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author

I made the theme and it works perfectly on another Samsung device.(I had to do something similar on my SGT2 7, set the dpi below 160 to apply the theme with RomTool box pro)
Thanks in advance :laugh:
I think it's 140 to apply HDPI themes. Then change it back to 160

[Q] Need help or tutorial to modify cm10's framework for osb's dpi

Does anyone know how to decompile and recompile the framework for cm10 nightly build? I'm using Framework Toolkit by Themike *it simply cant recompile everything from original framework into new modded framework after editing the dimens.xml for osb's dpi (i assume, the modded framework (5MB+-) is significantly smaller than the original untouched framework (9MB+-), and the modded framework give bootloop). thanks
ICS apks are hard to decompile and and recompile. you got to search a lot to get a working apktool. the tool needed to for decompiling and recompiling.
moreover the apk is to be "signed". Just make sure you sign your apk.
you got to have a better understanding of xml for this. other than this i cant help. Good luck :good:
you can use mod to add OSB. it also provide modded settings.
Btw mate the system apps. Or files are not to be signed afaik and even if you sign it,you'll have to sign all system files with the same!
Isn't it?

Ghostfreak: yup, but i dun think CM team will sign all the apps they modify, are they? btw, nvm. I guess i better stick to ICS 1st, CM10 still kinda too buggy to be used on daily usages. JB source and resource for xperia are still too limited......
rajxelton: CM10 is based on JB 4.1.2, not 4.0.4 ICS (CM9) anymore of course the modding will be kinda different somehow, and CM10.1 is now 4.2.1 but under alpha release to test for development purpose. and ya, i do know those xml files under the values folder. i did made my own framework for my own use before.....

[ROM] MIUI V5 based on Stock Jelly Bean

Hallo, this is unoficialll MIUI V5 for Xperia Go based on STOCK JB rom!
First thing that I must to say is "disclaimer":
Everything that is not originally maded by Sony is custom thing, so everything from here is modified Sony files and these files is "custom files"! So before you go to play with these modified files keep in mind that everything from here is custom thing and you installing these things on your own risk! I no want and I will not be responsible if something go wrong, if you lost your private data, if your device can not boot ...etc...etc, you doing everything on your own risk!!! If you no want to risk than skip this thread!!!
Rom is complete but not for daily use! All patches is welcome!
git:
https://github.com/munjeni/miui_v5_lotus
[QUOTE [...] ]have some popup messages with error to phone apk[/QUOTE]
:good:
First impressing after looking through rom-folders is framework-res is "mighty fat". Its nearly double-sized than stock ones.
I have no time to check framework-res because I need to fix smali bugs which prevent first "stable" screen. If some one want to contribute and fix remaining bugs, here is temp folder -> http://munjeni.homeunix.com/temp after initial patchings so we need to look into reject folder and fix remaining smalis to get rom working! If some one patched (and tested) something please attach it here (only working things!) !
My git is here -> https://github.com/munjeni/miui_v5_lotus
Because Micode have no mdpi apks I used them from MIUI V5_MINI PRO_3.4.19
Good news for you, got it!
How to:
remove Phone.apk from /system/app (phone can not boot using this apk! Only a way by now is removing them. Framework smalis need patchings to get this apk and mobile networks working!)
remove Provision.apk from /system/app (Whats use of this apk???)
remove SEMCSetupWizard.apk from /system/app (phone can not boot using this apk)
replace android.policy.jar using file from attachment
Install these modified zip and you are done :good:
You can start reporting everything about this rom! Rom need a lot of work and I have no free time by now to work in them, hope some one use them and patch all remaining bugs! This rom you can use as a base! Hope Sola, P and U guys use this rom and finish them! Rom is 80% finished, 20% is bugs! Enjoy!!!

Ok :good:
I got this rom compiled, signed, installed without errors, but get BL after Kernel. So, i will try your hints. Maybe it need to fix also some things in build.prop.

No need to edit build.prop its edited by default by micode, only you need to use 2 libs from stock rom (libhwui.so and libjni_latime.so) and one binary (installd) and add them to your rom zip, allso you can use all frameworks from current rom and add to your rom zip, allso you need to add shelld service to ramdisk, and allso you need to remove some apk from your zip (see previous post) and you will get rom working!
Make sure compile hdpi apks instead of xhdpi (you need to find where is xhdpi definition and change them to hdpi)... !
Edit:
Forgot to let you know something. You need:
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/*
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/*
...because some files have no right permission!

Sure, i already put "local-density := HDPI" in makefile
Permissions... i didn't look after the in xbin - /bin is set.
Good news for P guys Got booted for Xperia P
Working: Launcher, Statusbar, Toggles and also task manager!
not working: anything else (even file explorer won't open and get reboot on lock! but will try to fix )
EDIT:
got working other Mi programs by replacing android.policy.jar (so it's a smali bug) but modems are not working and settings is a bit miss sized
will try to fix these :good:
hope we can get a fully working MIUI V5 :fingers-crossed:
Well, since you have working build you can start patching frameworks. You no need to use patchrom anymore, just simple using apktool you can patch a rest of smalis trought "reject" folder / reading logcat...

hey Munenji..
I love miuiv5 .. but i can't download this torrent.. and can you tell that when will you fix its bugs and make it ready for daily use .
Maybe never, maybe soon, I don't know! Now I am very satisfied with stock rom + ex.se and simple thinking stock rom is better that MIUI, so no need by now to waste time in making bug clean MIUI v5 Hope some one use them and finish them?!
well, all the good stuff from miui are in the ex.se so..
And for those who want the "iphonish" look, just ad the miui launcher found at playstore
I just love MIUI music Player, sad that is not ported to another rom

@munjeni - Have you tried building the ROM on top of the latest firmware available? Maybe the changes needed with it are less troublesome.

Porting MIUI will ever be difficult for our phones, because we haven't "standart hardware", like ST-E U8500 chip, mali gpu and some other things. So, whatever rom we would like to port needs to get the drivers for that. It would be quiet easier, if we have a Qualcomm chip and an Andreno gpu.

true, but MIUI sure is worth it
wouldn't it be easier to wait for a stable cm10 and use that to port from another cm10 based rom?
