[THEME] Accuweather Widget - your own theme
Here is a CWM flashable AccuweatherWidget THEME
You can change the background PICTURE to anything you want ( see a few screenshot examples below )....
1.) CWM install ( flash in CWM recovery )
AccuweatherWidget_Own_BG_JB_SGN2_NOTE_2_JB_4.1.2_XXDMA6_DEODEX_CWM ..... YOU MUST FLASH THIS FIRST
2.) CWM install ( flash in CWM recovery )
N2_Own_AccuweatherWidget_BG_theme
3.) reboot and enjoy
Now, if you want to change the background to YOUR OWN, here is the way:
a.) create a .png picture of your choice with resolution 1050x592 ( 1050 wide 592 high ) and save on your PC as widget_bg_shadow.9 ( in .png format )
b.) use 7zip to explore N2_Own_AccuweatherWidget_BG_theme.zip that you downloaded here...
.....navigate in 7zip to the following folder....
N2_Own_AccuweatherWidget_BG_theme\vrtheme\system\app\AccuweatherWidget.apk\res\drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi
replace widget_bg_shadow.9 by simply dragging YOUR OWN new file created in step a.) above, into the zip.
reverse out of the .zip
c.) copy your newly modified N2_Own_AccuweatherWidget_BG_theme.zip to your phone's SD card
c.) flash with CWM and enjoy
ps: if you want FULLY TRANSPARENT widgets, see my other thread here

tried it on my SGN2 N7100 it is very nice with many thanks :good:

Awesome!

Very nice!

Is it possible to add more images? Just like the original, so that it changes when the weather changes.

Will this work on sprint note 2?

request transparent status bar

can anyone make a transparent status bar ?or do you know a guide and i`ll make one myself ,didn`t find one. i want for sense .
Manual method :
1. Pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework
2. Extract the apk and find the drawable MDPI/LDPI which there is a many icons
3. Find all status bar icon
4. Edit in on Photoshop or any editor
5. Change the opacity to 50-80%(0%=Blank no status bar LOL )
6. Copy the png to the apk(ZIP not the extracted one)
7. Push it to /system/framework
8. REBOOT and PRAY
actually it's the basic method and old method without theme choser
don't forget to backup the original framework-res.apk or NANdroid Backup
blank status bar is good, shows only time and others status but what about metamorph ?anyone with photoshop wants to do this ?my laptop is not powerfull enough ,the rom is wildpuzzle so you can download the framework apk from there.
Look for the 2 Sense Themes - WildDazzler and AeroFire (It's listed in the Theme Thread, Just search for it). Both descriptions state they have Transparent Status bars, so, you can just take it from there, if you do now want to have the entire theme.
flashed them both and they are ugly
If you read completely what I wrote above, you can use the Status bar files from them, if you are unable to modify it yourself.
Well auleu let me know what you have in mind and i'll give it a shot
Like 3xeno said if you want to try it for yourself just edit the framework-res.apk by unzipping it, going to either LDPI, MDPI, or HDPI (doesnt apply since this is Wildfire).
Edit the status_bar_backround.png and any other status_bar_* related items.
Once done go to the root of the folder, select all and say send to zip. Make sure your file extensions arent hidden. Rename it to framework-res.apk
Now you have 3 options,
1. access phone through recovery using
adb shell, mount /system, cd /system/framework/, rm framework-res.apk, exit.
Then cd to your edited apk and then
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot (dangerous option, try only if you sure you done everything correctly, regardless make a nandroid backup before doing so)
2. edit my aerofire zip by extracting it, removing everything besides the framework folder in the system folder, now copy your framework-res.apk to the framework folder, removing whats inside. Go to root of folder, select all, right click, send to compressed zip. then flash through recovery, reboot.
3. head to the uot.dakra.lt/ and run the framework-res.apk through it customizing what you want and then flash the resultant zip file.
Hope that helps
Does metamorp or Zip Themer work on Wildfire?? Tried them many time but couldnt bring them to work...any guides/suggestions ...
I tried, keeps rebooting, dont really have a lot of time to test as i'm writing an exam tomorrow.
Thing is i'm under the impression that it only works on mdpi devices, correct me if i'm wrong about this
Is it possible to make a transparent lockscreen with the same way?
I use DK Custom Froyo Rom.
A transparent lockscreen is in fact the exact same process, only difference is that you modify the com.htc.resources.apk instead of the framework-res.apk. If you want some idea on what needs modding, take a look at my aerofire theme mod, just extract the apk needed and take a look.
Just search the forum for lockscreen mods and you can do just about anything with it. That being said, widgetlocker? who uses that and why? i find it so frustrating due to (and i know this is a bit perfectionist or whatever) the 1 or 2 second delay that occurs between pressing the power button and seeing the lockscreen, i mean come on, sometimes it even shows the homescreen for a split second before showing the lockscreen and thats just not on for me
did any one tried that. completely transparent status bar???/ is there a flashable zip?? srry m no developer. after trying hundereds of roms m bak to kwbr. lol

I will try to make this Theme as much complete as possible there for when you have an idea for a change just let me know.
working on :
- more changed pictures like in the dialer app
- implementet reboot options ( done thanks to AdamTt instructions )
- still doubting about making the stock dock bar more transparent
- new lock screen
please let me know what guys think of the theme
You can make home dock transparant too. So it will suit your theme.

Nice work depulle87 I liked it.
Hi!
I'd like to try "the first 3 mods", so please upload when possible
okay I will upload them later, and I'm thinking about implementing the transparant home dock
edit : uploaded the files for only mods 1-3 should I upload the zip for recovery to ?

I use the app from Doomlord for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123576
yes it will because it is another framework-res.apk but I can try to implement it, for now you can use the systemUI only, this will give you the transparant statusbar and notification background without the rest
edit :will add in theme, added in my to do list
I tried it now (but only systemui.apk yet), thanks!
However you got me a little curious: Have you tried to make it totally transparent (both statusbar and notification background)?
Of course it would make it hard to read if you have a bright background but for me that uses my own Monochrome (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129129) I think it would be nice.
You mean the white behind the text of a notification ?
Hi,
I meant the semi-transparent background in both cases. However, I tested a little in Paint.net and I don't think it would be a good idea to have the statusbar completely 100% transparent, it's fine as it is.
The notification backgound, I think that could be even more transparent without looking strange? Today it looks a little "steamy windows" but it is certainly better than original.
Thanks again!
Want to try but everytime I try via phone I get download unsuccessful :-( any ideas or can it be uploaded here

he guys I'm working on implementing the reboot option but I still advice to use the app from doomlord because there you also have the reboot in fastboot and reboot in recovery menu
V2 is out !!!
Reboot option in power menu added, this is originaly from AdamTt and can be found in his thread here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094730
Got it at last loving this theme thanks
Compatible with FR ?
don't know exactly what you mean, what is FR ?
a French firmware
yes, that should not give any problems at all

[Froyo]9 Lockscreen mod without small icons for JPU

Hi all.
First, all credits go to Kyrillos and Hillbeast cause they show me how to fix that
Sooo here we go : You wanna enable 9 lockscreen mod without these ugly small bug icons and you want that with every deodexed JPU rom ?
Follow those steps !
* Download this .zip : Download here
It contains the framework and the libs that enable 9 lockscreen mod.
* Now you have two choices:
- Either you flash by CWM directly, without changing anything, so you will have by default the theme of Kyrillos v9.0+.
If you do so, then you can flash all themes that are compatible with 9 lockscreen mod (Delete all the .jar files in the update !! And follow the theme installation of course )
- Either you change the .zip, by adding your own framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk (Do not forget your themed apps, add a folder 'app' in /system (Use 7-Zip to do so))
WARNING : Do not remove / modify the lib folder or these three files from framework folder : framework.jar, services.jar and android.policy.jar
* Reboot your phone, and enjoy
Credits :
Kyrillos for helping and his modified framework
Hillbeast for show me the way of missing libs

Got problems ? Read this :
I flash my theme and I got a bootloop ???

Click to collapse
Try wipe dalvik cache.
If it doesnt work, check that you have removed all .jar in the .zip of your theme. You only need jars files from my zip that you downloaded.
Then if it doesnt work too, post in the thread, the community will help you
You should add that it works on JPU. On any other froyo firmware it may be buggy.
Ah sorry yes..
I always forgot that Indians got an other firmware... Sorry, will modify that ^^'
If someone on ddjp6 could try and tell us, would be great
Sent from my Elora galaxy 3
Is this 9 lockscreen MOD?
Yes, it's a way to enable it in JPU (with a default theme : Kyrillos v9.0+, and all libs required)
After flash it, u can flash every theme which requires 9 lockscreen mod, like Miui 1.4.5 by Ghost in the Ruins for example
I'm currently on a stock JPU deodexed with the Miui 1.4.5 theme
So do i have to install kyrllios 9+?
Sorry for questions. I'm noob.
Certainly not
You can just flash this .zip from CWM without modified anything and enjoy with 9 lsm. By default, you'll get Kyrillos v9.0 THEME, just the theme ^^
Then, you can flash every theme you want that requires 9lsm
Nice share mate. This should solve the confusion. I will redirect my theme threads to here for users who are not on custom ROMs.
Is every lib file is necessary in the package you provided, because I noticed that one lib file is of terminal emulator.
I put libs files from Hillbeast.
I will modify it when i can
Sent from my Elora galaxy 3
After flashing the file (wiping dalvik-cache and cache) and rebooting my bootanimation appears but after that booting stucks and all I see is a black screen. It won't start at all.
I tried flashing the zip as it is and a zip containing my framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from a UOT-Kitchen-Theme. I also did a third zip containing my SystemUI.apk (which is not affected by my UOT Theme)
For replacing I used 7zip as recommended and also Total Commander.
I'm using a Custom deodexed JPU with converted filesystem as follows:
stl6 ext2
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
Any idea on fixing this? (I have a CWM-Backup, so nothing can get lost )

Is the framework that you put in the zip 9 lockscreen modded?? Either flash the zip as it is or put a framework-res.ap that is 9 lockscreen modded into the zip and flash,
And SystemUI.apk?? We don t have SystemUI.apk in Froyo. Please don t put that.
I flashed it as it is AND with my modded framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. So I flashed 2 different zips with restoring system and wiping caches between the flash operations. Both zips didn't work.
The SystemUI.apk I used is the one I took from my phone and I replaced the one in the zip for testing purposes.
Do I only have to replace the framework-res.apk and have to leave twframework-res.apk untouched?

No. twframework-res.apk is not modded for 9 locks. Its the same. If you flashed the zip as it is without replacing any files and it still didn t work?? Then I don t have any idea.:/
That's the problem. The provided zip doesn't work. I tried it.
alternative download link possible?
Hi all,
the link given in the first posting is dead -> goes to megaupload.
Would it be possible to get a mirror download link?
That would be very great.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
qaysed
Yup, sorry. Due to down of MU, i'll give us an alternate download link, but it's not on this PC.
If someone else could up it for me (i could up it in 2 days) thanks in advance for all.
Here's a mirror while megaupload is down or you reuped the zip by yourself.
http://ul.to/ku5rvvya
runs perfect!
thanks for the quick mirror!
works like a charme.
No stopping services, no reboots or freezes.
Libs are also exchanged... that´s new to me.
I assume that is the root cause for my problems, in exchanging the frameworks.
Have to accustom myself to the four symbols on lock screen. First try: opened the phone
and thanks to halco for distributing the file
and of course hillbeast and kyrillos mentioned already in the first posting

hi, can you upload to other websites plz! Megaupload is dead

[Q] How to create theme for custom rom ?

After reading from articles , now more or less I got some idea on how to create a theme for a custom rom , but still there's something I don't know .
1) First , I extract files from a rom using 7zip . Then , I extract out the content of framework-res.apk and make some modifies / changes to those .png files . So , after completed those modifies , I just open archieve on the original framework-res.apk , drag and drop the one I modified to replace the original one ? After that , how do I pack it in .zip file that can be updated in open recovery ? .xml file shouldn't be modified right ?
2) What if I do this , I get a theme.zip made for the rom , and then I extract the contents of the theme.zip using 7zip , then again I modify the .png files and after completed , I packed it again by open archieve on the original theme.zip , drag and drop the one I modified to replace the original one ? Does this works ?
3) What if I modify other system apps such as calender.apk ? Using the same method , extract , modify , drag and drop , replace , then again how do I pack it in .zip file that can be updated in open recovery ? Is there any "bond" between those system apps and framework-res.apk ? Can I just modify anyone of both ? Or I have to modify both system apps and framework-res.apk to get it works ?
Thanks

Here's what I know so far. I'm still trying to learn as much as I can:
1) If you are making a theme by trying to replace pngs in an existing framework-res.apk file, you can do this: open the apk file within your zip program, and edit the apk there (so you'll have two zip windows open. Once the apk is updated, close the most recent zip window. The first zip window should recognize that you've updated the apk file, and ask you to update the first zip window.
I've been playing around with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432152
What it allows you to do is modify the files in Windows Explorer (or whatever file explorer you're using), and then let the script do the rest of the work for you. The actions it can do are: decompile apk, recompile apk, sign apk, created update.zip.
The xml files need to be edited if you want to achieve certain effects. For example, in the Gingerbread theme there are some edits that have to be made to a few xml files in order to achieve white text on black backgrounds on the popup menus. The nice thing about the framework flasher link from above is that it 'compiles' the files (meaning it will check if the .9.pngs are correct, and if your xml files point to correct assets), so you can go about doing xml edits and stuff without fear of bootlooping.
2) Yes, this should work.
3) If the updater script is a generic script (that is, it moves everything from the /system folder to /system, and /data to /data), then you can create directories in the update.zip that refer to whatever apk you want to replace, with the same structure as in Android. The cool thing about Metamorph, from what I gather, is that you can create folder structures with just the assets you want to replace, rather than the entire apk. This means that if you want to replace just a few images in Phone.apk, for example, you create a directory in the Metamorph script under /system/app/Phone/res/drawable-hdpi and add the images you want to replace in there. I think that's the way I want to create my themes from now on, I just need to figure out how to do it correctly
I tried the framework flasher , after located the framework-res.apk and run RunMe , it shows echo is off , the log process shows 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

BTW , since I'm still too new to theming , I'm thinking of making my first step by changing the colour of a completed theme . This is what I'm currently doing : I extracted the files content of your DarkFroyo.zip and then extracted it's framework-res.apk . ( IT'S YOUR THEME , CAN YOU GIVE ME THE PERMISSION TO DO THIS ? ) I'm changing the original orange colour of all those icon to light pink using photoshop , then replace the original one . The files type are .png . Also , I changed the battery status icon and status bar background . However , I haven't touch those .xml files , I just leave it there . So after I complete , do I just flash it right away in my phone or I need to doing something like "sign" ? As for now , I don't have any idea about "sign" .

Changing the color in Photoshop is fine for normal ".png"s but ".9.png"s are special, they have a 1 pixel border with guides that define how they are stretched to fill a space (& are only visible is a decompiled state). Just editing a .9.png in Photoshop might break the .9 patch. Since you are trying to modify my theme it might also be wise to grab the "undo.zip" so if (when) something you try bootloops the phone you can flash the undo to get back to stock. I know had numerous bootloops when I was first starting out (still do occasionally).

Hey 3rdstring. I noticed you release a new version of your theme for the ODEXED version of CM6. For APKs that have ODEX files (such as Phone), are you deodexing them using apktool, then reodexing them? A brief pointer would be nice!

No the only thing I'm changing in any of the odexed apks are images. I use a Metamorph file with ZipThemer to build the update.zip (& undo) after I've decompiled / recomfiled framework-res for the white menu text & 10% battery increments.

The reason I ask is b/c I tried pushing a modified Phone.apk to CM6, but it didn't pick up any of the changes I added (images only). It made me think that the assets were already prebuilt in the odex file, so changing the apk wouldn't do anything unless the odex file was changed too.
I also tried applying a metamorph script on top of the odex ROM, but it caused a lot of fcs. I think it's b/c of the ODEXing too.
EDIT: My bad. Phone.apk is the calling screen, Contacts.apk is the dialer + contacts. DOH!!!
My edits are pushed correctly

[Q] changing font

hi
when i had "desire c" with arabic rom i change driodkufi-regular.ttf with driodnaskh-regular.ttf and change permision then my arabic font changed but now in desire x , when i do that (driodnaskh-regular.ttf=358kb and droidkufi-regular.ttf=79kb) and restart my phone not any thing changed and when check the /system/fonts i see that droidkufi-regullar.ttf comeback to 79kb again ,
is there any body know how can fix the fonts that after restart phone dont replace that with the orginal font?
thanks
HTC implemented some sort of security to their newer devices where you cannot write to the system as the kernel will reset it.
What you can do is adb push the font in recovery, or make a flashable zip for the font and flash it in recovery.
Basic thing is any change to system, to make it work properly you need to do it at recovery level

thanks for guide
is there any way or references or others that i can make a .zip file to flash font from recovery

Here is the stock fonts for my ROM which is a flashable zip.
What you can do is open it with an archiver (I use 7-zip), and replace it with all the fonts from your current ROM and name it as stock fonts (you need this if something goes wrong as not all fonts may work for your device).
Then make another one and put in all the fonts that you want to change and name it as modded fonts zip.
So flash the modded fonts zip and see how it goes.
If some fonts make your device stuck, reflash back your stock fonts zip.

Use Aroma File Manager from recovery to do the same copying you do when the phone is on. You have he link in DesX Index.

I found a way to defeat the write protection on other HTC devices. It might work on this one device too, if somebody wants to help, send me a pm.

hello babakhad, I have some question..
I see there's so many fonts on the Stock_fonts.zip, so I just have to delete it all and put only one font that i want to use? Only one .ttf file? If I only put one .ttf file, will the font in the lockscreen change too?
