[AllianceROM][V7.3][OTA][VISUALS]Post your submissions here - Galaxy S II Android Development

Because we are getting so many good suggestions for OTA updates in our thread [AllianceROM][V7.3][12.04][XWLSD] we decided it was time to start a thread for users to post their submissions.
Major Credits to Goldieking for making this Rom and to Ficeto for making the awesome Rom Customiser and the Ota app
OTA visuals (and updates) are bound to certain format rules that I will explain in the following posts.
All things posted in here will first be tested and evaluated before being uploaded to OTA
please be advised that mods are not to include complete framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk or android-policy

You cannot include resources.arsc in a visual as it becomes firmware dependant and will need updating every time public changes when I mod and add something.
If its not updated it can loop or fc. You should focus on doing it outside of values folder

OTA visuals
Visuals are zips containing images and XML files from apk that are to be changed.
Format for zip name is simple, just try to describe what the mod does, if mod is a variation of existing mods use same format as existing ones.
The .theme in the name is no longer needed.
Inside zip you put name of apk (without .apk). Mods can contain more than one apk!
Also put in the root op the zip:
An empty txt file named theme.txt
A txt file called description.txt with a short description of the mod
An image file in JPG format called preview with an image of your mod
put in the rest of the folders like in original apk
Before uploading it please test the mod yourself by putting it on your sd and flashing from RomCustomiser
If your mod fits an existing category please tell me in your post
If you come up with mods that don't have a category yet, please also make a revert mod containing the same images and xml from the original rom so users can get back to that easily

---

OTA updates
Ota updates can contain apk, mostly used by Dev's to update the Rom.
Can however also be used for fixes that contain an apk like the stock playstore
They are basicaly CWM zips, with some additions:
A txt file named description with a description of the update
An JPG file named preview with an image of the mod (preferable, not compulsory)
Please remember that all system apps go in preload/symplink/system/app
You can use the base zip that I uploaded here

I'm putting this up here

Hi guys,

Would it be an idea that we agree on colour codes to use for the various mods. As we all know there many shades of blue, red etc.
If we can agree on that we will have matching mods and it will make it easy for users to mod there own apps like launchers etc that offer that option.
I made a few in ICS blue and used # 33B5E5
I have found this list with codes for the Android design colours:
Code:

Thanks but....
I would rather you broke down this into parts.
E.g
All the visuals as ota visuals separately
Otherwise you are just remaking my rom and it will cause confusion if people install it and then complain about any issues.
The idea of Alliance is to choose what you want either by a toggle or changer or individual ota component. Lumping stuff together goes against that principle. Anything that includes framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk ir SecSettings.apk will not be added.
Hope you understand

Here's a toggle background mod.
Flashable with RC, it's a theming mod.
It's the original Samsung stock JB background.
Credits to Manuelmagix because I used his zip as base.

I took a quick look at your mod, but it isn't only the indicators. You also added in a black toggle background. I think it's best to keep those seperated, because there's also toggle background mods.

Tnx, its looking very nice
Could you do a similar one for the dropdown handle? Preferably in white, so everyone can edit his/her own color if needed?! (Or perhaps Goldie can implement this in Alliance settings in a future release )

Hi guys,
Now we have a dedicated mod/theme thread I have a suggestion.
Would it be an idea that we agree on colour codes to use for the various mods. As we all know there many shades of blue, red etc.
If we can agree on that we will have matching mods and it will make it easy for users to mod there own apps like launchers etc that offer that option.
I made a few in ICS blue and used # 33B5E5
I have found this list with codes for the Android design colours:
Code:
blue_bright">#38C0F4
blue_dark">#0099CC
blue_light">#33B5E5
green_dark">#669900
green_light">#99CC00
orange_dark">#FF8800
orange_light">#FFBB33
purple_dark">#9933CC
purple_light">#AA66CC
red_dark">#CC0000
red_light">#FF4444
yellow">#FFFF00
white">#FFFFFF
And also if you post a mod/theme, please add the colour code used.

Sure Master, ROM is yours, so you have to decide, what about this mod?, can be shared(with other colors planned), or i have to remove it?
So you mean use the vrtheme method(for CWM) or flashable zip just with resources(for TWRP) for above system files(not entire apk)?
Those zips limited to one MOD(for ex all blue status bar icons, then another for blue ones in power menu asf...)
I will work on it, not in a hurry, have to learn more and finish my Phone modding
