Hi,
i don't like the standard dialer theme. Can someone make new ones ? Or port some over for the defy ? Or tell me how to do that ?
thanks
i don´t know how to make or port it.
But i found dialer2 in the market.
Test it. it looks nice
thanks for dialer2, looks nice enough for now. But if you make a call you still see the original dialer

I can hook u up, what are you looking for exactly?
a dial pad that looks black, and not so glossy. like the minimal matte one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726912
tried to metamorph contacts.apk for dialer, but the defy has no contacts.apk
I have the Gingerstock theme from JB3 installed. Something in yellow would be cool so that matches the theme.
Is your phone rooted? If so, can you pull a copy of your dialer for me so I can edit?
Use root explorer, go to /system/app. Grab blurdialer.apk, long hold and copy. move copy yo sd card and attach here

sounds great, here it is. It's from my system. I'm using the orange rom
3.4.2_131-003_Deblur_Sign if that is helpful

Hey sorry, got busy at work... I'll grab it now and work on it, stay tuned for post. I'll try to get it as best as possible, but I ddi find while themeing mine, you cannot change the actual numbers only the back grounds. Stupid blur!
I'm going in blind, so not sure exactly how this looks or what managed to change. So do as I say and check it out, whatever you want fixed I'll redo it... Try it out though.
-Grab the apk from the attachment
-Put BlurDialer.apk on your SD card
-Using Root Explorer, Move this apk to /system
-Once in /System, long hold the apk, and hit permissions. Check boxes should look like this:
Read Write Execute
X X X
X
X
So essentially an upside down L.
- Once permissions have been changed, long hold the apk and paste in /System/app , hit yes to overwrite.
- Backout to home screen and reboot.
Let phone completely load up, then go into your dialer and see the changes.
Please report back with what needs to be fixed or what color arrangement you'd like different.
Otherwise enjoy!
Yeah ! thank you ! looks great ! Now it much better integrates in the theme.
I took screenshots with an app. The SDK for 2.2 won't install. It says that i have to install Java SDK, what i already did
So how you did it ? Is there a way to get inside the apk ? As you can see in screenshot 5 there is already red when i pressed the button. Can this changed also to yellow ? I ask because this "red" goes to the whole system. It is in the browser when he loads a site, it's there when i changed the volume and so on. I would like to edit more so that the system has one theme
When there is no way to theme the dialer buttons, is it possible to install the original contacts.apk ? I asked this in another thread too.
Don't forget the Thanks button!
Try this one, I made some more edits, need to see if it is the correct one for the button push. I don't believe there is a way to install the contacts.apk.
To theme the file you need to get into the apk, remove the res folder, theme in the drawable-hdpi and ten put the pieces back together. You can google for files to do so. I dont 't mind helping you..
I wonder how the yellpw in the status bar would look
Anyways, try this and see what differences there is.
Think I found a way to theme that even more. Give me a minute and i'll repost
For Honeycomb Theme
Here you go, this one should look even better.
Congo,
How does it look?
looks great ! thanks.have no time at the moment. Take some screenshot tomorrow
Good deal, look forward to checking it out
I get the sdk to run
Here are two screenshots

It depends on exactly what you are trying to do... The main ones will be blurdialer, blurres and framewrok-res, but you have to be very careful with what you are doing. There are .9.pngs in these fiales that need to be decompiled and patched.... It's a lot if work at first until you get the hang of it. There is a full theme guid here on xda on the main board, under hacking then themes. If it sounds excruciating, just tell me exactly what you want and I am happy to do it.
How to I make a shortcut to the other 4 screens from the homescreen..Like where people have a set up like this on home page and then have the apps organized on the other pages..ty in advance ..im sure Its easy but Im new to this..
Apps
Media
Music
Games
Figured it out with Destop visualizer and apps organizer nm..
Care to share how you linked to the screens ?
Cheers
far as I know it can only be done with ADW right? Using launcher shortcuts. Been trying to figure out how to do that with launcher pro but don't have a solution for it.

http : // androinica . com/ 2010/08/11-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-launcherpro/
LauncherPro only lets you use icons? I think that the sizes LP use are supposed to be:
48x48
72x72
84x84
So in my case I wouldnt be able to use LauncherPro, I'm after using images the size of 355 x 132 to link to a particular screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...

I thought there would have been a detailed tutorial around but there don't seem to be any specific to a tablet.. just lots of little bits here there and everywhere
Ahh , I should have been more specific when I said I figured it out lol..I figured out how to direct my custum icons to open groups of apps via folder organizer..which im sure i very basic stuff lol..I still dont know how to link them to screens.

Wasn't working before but worked now! awesome. Now if I can figure out how to make it work with minimalistic text... I'd be able to make anything!
Right now, I can create the shortcut but can't get minimalistic text to reference the shortcut.

Oh and there's me thinking you found a way to link to screens lol
Nevermind, suppose we'll have to keep searching..
Yeah. Now that I know how ot make icons that go to specific screens, need to knowhow to make it so I can either make the transparent, or link a minimalistic text to it.
You would need to use ADW Launcher Ex. Install it, then hold on the screen to pop the widget addon, click Launcher Addons, then Select Screen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
This will create a shortcut to the specified screen. To make it transparent, select and hold the icon, select edit, click on the icon image, select picture, adw docks catalog, You can select any image and the shortcut will now be transparent. You can create a widget though minimal text, and then resize it to go over the now transparent screen shortcut.
I had issues with adw. It wouldn't allow me to use minimalistic text or the bob clock. Also. I wanted to use launcher pro for its Widgets.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out and make this Beautiful widgets skin for me or at the very least help me do it. They have changed the way they theme the SC now and the pngs have borders around them similar to a PNG.9 which I could edit, but these are just pngs, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried, but it didn't show up. Thanks in advance. Below is the thread the theme is located:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393744
In the attachments is the background I would like, so you can get the colors right.
can you post the default bg image of that beautiful widgets clock?

I wasn't trying to bother you bro. You already were busy, but I thank you. Do you have to have the default or can you use a skin? because the default skin is not on the sd card, it's in the apk itself and hard to find.
nah man, its cool.. i wanna help. I've never really used beautiful widgets so i am not sure how it works but from what i understand you have the default widgets and they have a themeing engine where you donwload skin apks and you can select between skins through the app?

That's right, but The default widget is in one of the drawables and I can't tell which. I can post the folders in a zip and also what I got so far.
Below is the drawable and drawable-hdpi out of beautiful widgets, the skin I had been working on called SparkICSClockSkin. after all it is your original creation, and some skins I downloaded that you can use for an example.

Alright, thanks. I already did all the pngs in the zip above called, SparkICSClockSkin.zip, but I don't know how to compile it. I already tried it regular, and I already put borders around it like a png.9 but can't get it to show up for nothing.
I also think I just found a Beautiful widgets dev kit. Check attachments.
Here is a little info on it too: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/th...-widgets-skinning-thread-147.html#post1309792
did you decompile the apk or did you just extract? it seems you just extracted it thats why the .9 borders arent showing up....

I got it working, I just have to edit it to look a little better now, but you don't extract the skins. their just in a folder on the sd card in Beautiful widgets/skins/scskins, but They are compiled like png 9's but you don't have to run them through eclipse like you would for framework. I got it working by using draw9patch and then changinging it from a png9 to a png. then I rebooted and it showed up. just needs a touch up.

ok i guess what your way is just replacing the image files in it but they are originally .9s
but your way should work too
We're your able to come up with anything ?
I did replace them with png 9's but I just changed the 9 to just png like in the folder, bc I don't see the ext 9.png. But anyway, here is what I got, but you can barely see the blue border I made, because of the stretching, and I don't like the numbers or how close the number background is..

super clock theme
my first watcha think?
That's good stuff. I actually couldn't get it the way I wanted it on beautiful widgets, bc I hate how close the number backgrounds are when compared to real sense clock, so I made one for Fancy widgets. Here's mine. Original is on the left and mine is on the right.

This would be great since it would more easily allow you to select the correct version of your saved theme.
you mean preview to see where you are up to ? if you want a preview of the home screen,simply copy your wallpaper too your pc,rename it the same name as your theme,ie if theme is called new then rename the pic new,then copy it back over to my colortheme/exported/thumbs

You can also just rename it in your File Explorer if you have one installed. We are working on a way of improving this feature soon.

Hi kwest12,
Unfortunately not yet. The front end of Themer will always receive more attention than the editing side. I'll speak to the developers today about this and see how easy it would be to implement. I agree it does make things a lot easier, however the process to implement this can be very complicated.

Broken screen.... transfer modified theme help
I shattered my old phone's screen, so I cannot see anything from the phone. However, I can look at the SD card from my computer (the external is is my new phone). I would like to import a theme that I extensively modified on my old phone. I thought I had saved it/exported it... I guess I did not, as I see no files in the directory mentioned in previous posts.
From what I can see on my computer, it looks like the theme I worked on exists on the internal SD card. However, it is not neatly compiled in a .zip file. Is there a correct way to move these files over to my new phone so that I can use this theme without re-modifying everything?
Thank you!

When you export a file - it's saved in the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/Exported/zip folder as a .zip file. All you need to do a place this file (don't extract it) into the same place on another phone. If that folder isn't there - export any theme in order for Themer to create the zip folder.
I've been working on this theme for a while now, I keep running into issues, but for the most part I've been able to do what I need to do. I'm still tweaking things here and there but will make sure to update with the zip folder containing the theme. The notification bar is hidden and can be pulled down by swiping down or clicking the icon on the top. The app drawer can be brought up from the icon along the center of the bottom.
Any comments are always helpful, let me know what you guys like and don't like. Loving this app so far!

fine looking theme m8
Looks awesome! The only thing I didn't see in the screenshots was the app drawer icon. If you could squeeze that somewhere and publish already - that'd be great. I'd love to install it and see how it handles.
Thanks guys, the theme's complete and I've sent it to MCS. Hopefully we'll see it on their homepage soon.
The app drawer is accessed by the icon that is at the center of the bottom.
I'll publish this for you guys when I get home!

Download the zip folder and place it into your SD card under the MyColorScreen>Themer>Exported directory. You'll then be able to select it from clicking Browse Themes>Exported Themes.

That depends on if that person set it up using themer or not. I've seen a lot that use nova launcher and a few other widget programs so I believe those have to be replicated manually. That's the nice thing about themer, put the zip folder on your phone and it works right away.

Works for me! Good job! One thing though...on the main screen, the three icons for camera, calendar and Chrome don't work. It brings up the playstore with "retry" on it. I have all those installed. How do I change what app they are pointing to?

I literally just made a shortcut to the Camera, Calender and Browser and changed the icon. I'm sure the icons are in the zip folder so you could always delete the shortcuts, add them again with your shortcuts and change the icon. It works correctly on my phone surprisingly
Wow amazing work!!!!
What I would recommend is that you can use holo looks ...Everyone likes holo looks !! black doesn't suit this type of setup.try using transparent glass background(I mean kinda like a tinted glass or a semitransparent glass)
Something like this
