How to? - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Hey nottach, you are amazing with the amount of themes you have ported. I am smart with computers but new to android so I was wondering if you could make a little how to make/ compile the themed apks as well as make cwm zips. I would love to help you with making themes if at all possible. Ps I have a mac with windows partition, I know how to do most things on windows but I prefer mac so if you can help me at all that would be awesome. I know this is a lot to ask from a busy guy, but I would try to help.

Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 bl unlocked full debian weptop and themed

Im flattered. A whole thread for me.
I am planning on doing a how to for theming. It may be a few more days before I get to it though. Im on a tight deadline for a current project and I already spend too much time messing with my phone.
I will try to get a first draft up by the weekend.
Ill need to find another theme to port for the write up so I can be sure not to miss anything.
Any requests?

^^Please take up one of my all time favorite themes:
Dark Star

(Ports to some other devices:

)

That could work. Seems palm pre*ish to me.

+1 to the OP's request. I was looking through materials on how to theme Atrix myself, but there really isn't much info at all.
Go nottach we will love you forever

It seems DarkStar is not available for our resolution, hdpi. The Nexus 1 version might be, didn't check because it's not as attractive as the first links. If you find an hdpi version let me know.

Lcars System for Samsung Galaxy S is now avalible for Sweeterhome2 Beta

I been searching all over the web for a decent LCARS PADD skin for android
well got tired of looking decided to go ahead and make one for myself
This is my first Attempt at making a functional Lcars system
lot of hours went into searching and interface design simple to use
pain to design anyways let me know what you guys think this version is the first and is subject to change
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
UPDATE
Hey guys been getting questions about lcars system in color well currently I am working on just that!
Something minimalistic at the same time very efficient as far as functionality and theme wise will be posting
screenshots later today
discontiued
hey guys im going to go ahead and stop providing support on my lcars theme i put alot of time into designing a theme that functioned and looked good aswell
but support for my work was pretty much none so unfortunately that is my de-motivator anyways best of luck guys
thanks to those who downloaded and tried it but this is me bidding adieu
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
Wow, impressive. Could you do one that's in color next? Part of the appeal imo of the LCARS was the colors. Maybe do a TMP-era (blue/green) and TNG (purple/orange) versions?

Maybe something based off the Stargate Atlantis computer system would be cool ..
Just sticking with the scifi motif , if it was me personally , I would do a Cylon interface, Eureka and Warehouse 13 as well As SG:A ...
I'll look into that I'm all for the scifi based computer interfaces they were so creative and artistic now I plan on making then actually functional

Hi,
First of all - many thanks for the great effort of making this cool LCARS!
I got a quick question as there's no manual for some of feature.
I wonder about the top screen (the map screen). Could you please explain a bit more about the map feature ?
It is just static map (not GPS), or does it show where you are currently in or what?
Currently it shows California. While it is my fave state, I am in UK which is like 5,000 miles east of California. hence my wondering about that map part.
Please let me know if it is just a static map or should be "live map" (/show where you are currently in)?
Many thanks again!
the map is just static not much to explain until there is a way to implement a gps fix i used it as a place holder
How could I port this over to the Nexus one?

[DEV] HTC Sense UI for Streak

This is the Developers Thread for HTC Sense UI proting developement to our Streak.
Please dont ask questions how the process stage is. Every new thing that will work on our Streak will become updatet on post 2!
I don´t know how fast it will go on because I´m extremely busy at the moment but maybe I´ll get some help from other devs here!
So let the dev begin
UPDATES OF THE DEVELOPEMENT:
13.10.2010: HTC Sense Developement startet!
13.10.2010: Implenting sense to Froyo 2.2 V2 Beta was sucessfull but sense won´t start and data connection is lost
Ok first news for today!
I was able to implent htc sense into the froyo 2.2 beta 2 version but its not starting right now and I lost data connection with it!
But its enought for today see you tomorrow!
Reserved!!!
Nice work for trying this hope you are successful my friend
Thanks for taking on this effort!
You have no clue how happy I was when I saw this thread. Thank you very much for doing this, and know that your work is appreciated.

Very Nice!
animated weather oh please it would look awesome on the dell strak and then you can really show it off.
worth mentioning is that you'd have to run a DPI setting that will play nice (like 240 on the EVO), when running the HTC_IME on my streak, it only worked at 240 and 200, there may be more it will work at, I tested them working at those settings (doesn't work at stock 160dpi)

Thanks for this information! I´ll work on getting sense to our streaks today evening when I´ll get the time for it!
Thank you so much for doing this for us. It will be so great. I had this on my Nexus One and thought it was cool then, but thinking now, it will be the bomb on the Dell Streak.
You're the man!
Hi xda members...bad news for dev news...I have to fly to frankurt today evening for a one-week business trip so I maybe won´t find time to work on sense for the next week...maby on the evenings but I´m not sure about it.
If some other dev´s here get some news how to get sense on our streaks please pm me
Any progress here? I was so excited about this. Thanks
This was the post i was waiting for...thanx for the effort my friend
Umm, I really hate to be the fly in the ointment here but is Sense free and open source? Are there no issues taking HTC's code and redistributing it in a ROM for another manufacturers device? It's not quite as bad as trying to install a Windows OS on a device that is not licensed for it but it seems uncomfortably close.

That good thanks

the framework is open source, but the apk's are not. it is very well against copyright laws to take sense and port it to other devices, thats why cyanogen stopped after they got a cease letter from htc.
hey mate, i know u can do this......i will be waiting for ur latest update for the sense ui!!!
it should be way better than froyo.......i hope so

[Q][REQUEST] DarkEdge UI Theme for Eris

If the creators of DarkEdge were to give the OK, would someone here be able to port this for the Eris running CM6? I've sent a note to see if we can get permissiion to port it.
DarkEdge UI Original
DarkEdge UI 2.2
DarkEdge UI Gallery
Edit/Update: Thanks to the hard work of KagedIn, we have a port!
I tried the Hero MDPI DarkEdge UI on CELB 3.5 and got boot loops. I also tried porting the theme over (for personal use) using Theme-Porter and Update.zip Creator. While both scripts completed successfully and created a valid update.zip which installed wonderfully on my device, nothing changed.
I've never attempted to port a theme before, so I'm sure that I'm missing some very important elements here to be able to accomplish this. If anyone out there who is more experienced is able to port this over (with permission, of course), that would be really, really cool
I was able to use Asimmons DarkEdge port for the Hero Asimmon's big theme porting thread and TheDeathly's Universal Theme Porter to get this working on the Eris. Some things aren't working well (black text on black buttons), but otherwise it's pretty beautiful.
I wasn't able to get an update.zip that worked, so I pushed everything over manually using adb. I have not yet heard back from the DarkEdge team as to whether or not I can officially post the theme, so no links at this time.
I really don't know much about theming, and I know Asimmons could use some help working out the kinks with the black text and some other things - so to my great and wonderful Eris themers, if someone wants to either take over or help with this project - please take the reins!
Cool, great job. I'm very interested in this as well and will be glad to help.
I was just thinking over the weekend that I guess I'm gonna have to start figuring out how to theme because it seems like all the good dark themes are getting neglected these days.
I want to keep up with latest froyo, but I want my dark flavor as well......
Hey I'm working on porting this right now, I've made some good headway but still far from a release I'm attempting to make it into a metamorph theme I'm at least a couple days away from working most of the issues but if anyones still interested I'd be willing to post it when its finished

I'm in! I've been able to get a good chunk of Asimmons hero port working on my Eris, but the work has been mostly manual at this point and definitely not something that could be metamorphed or zipped.
Have you got the text thing figured out? I'm downloading the theme and the porter right now and following your footsteps.......I will probably have some questions though if you don't mind.

After some research I found a lot of people with text color issue in porting this theme so instead of trying to change the system font color which is a very difficult task I used a simple workaround to make all buttons popups and menus readable
The hardest part is done IMO so ill hopefully have a full version ready by the end of the week
Sent from my Floyo Tazz using XDA App
I was thinking the same thing, it would be better to change the button and chooser backgrounds rather than trying to figure out how to change the font color. I tried just about everything in the .xml files in framework-res.apk, but wasn't able to make a dent myself.
I'm so glad that you're working on this - definitely deserves a beer BTW, are you porting the default gold or another color?

If rycheme will buy you the beer, I'll buy you a steak dinner to go with it.
I really appreciate the work both of you are doing on this.....I was messing around with it last night and realize how much time it takes. I think I'll still work on some theming myself just for the fun of it, it is really interesting. But knowing this theme will be ported over, and working on Floyo, makes me .
Thanks.
I don't know if you're using an hdpi to mdpi converter, but it'd be really, really cool to get the icons in here too:

[COMPLETE][DEV] SH06D NERV Theme

2012-07-12:The project is completed, all the info can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758466
2012-07-01: Thank you for the support.
Since people are unpleased already, even during the discussion stage; this was needed to be said:
It's NOT a thread for leechers, DO NOT expect any download link, at least not yet...
Any negative opinion simply because there was nothing to gain/leech here is a waste of time and unnecessary.
Intro
You might have heard (and seen) the phone by SHARP called SH06D NERV (click here).
A Android-based phone with a unique look to it.
I was thinking of recreating it for our ace but i'm in need of help to make this possible.
Read more about the phone here: Link
Info
The actual rom isnt out, so no real port:
post #7
So far the wallpaper is 90% finished. The lines are probably more yellow than red
(the wallpaper will be uploaded once it's ready.)
Details:
This will be based on the official CM7.
The old NERV phone (for inspirational purpose): link
What I need help with now is to make these metroblock-widgets.
Some of those widgets are actually just for show -without any function, at least thats what I think.
This is what i've planned on doing so far:
- Complete the wallpaper.
- Mod the google search bar widget.
- Minor adjustment to the framework on a CM7 based theme.
- Mod the android music widget into a matching theme.
- Chose a font.
I dont mind sharing these tasks.
If I see lack of interest/help, I will probably just finish this for my personal use since its nothing major.
More info tba.

Does the picture show the phone home screen? it looks awfully complicated and advanced
would love to see a port!
Yeah, thats stuppose to be the homescreen, this is the only other screenshot that ive found.
id love to help but have next to no experience in developing or porting at all im just an end-user so all i can really offer is my skills as a tester and report any bugs i find once built but it looks very interesting
it looks simply sexy.. but hard to get a port right?
The phone wont be out until June (i think) so we wont have anything to port, all we can do a the moment is to create a look-alike. Im assuming that the phone is simply running android with a theme, nothing else. And there isnt much info about the software from the articles that ive read. Maybe on their homepage, but it's in japanese.
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/next/sh06dnerv/special.html
yeah you can make a simple theme.. even then, you dont know how the menus/dialer looks so you can probably mod an available theme
The troublesome part (which i requested for help) are the widgets xD

On the real phone all widgets do somthing, and when switching it rotates in 3d
Screen is glassesless 3d
I would like it if your project suported the 3d
Why don't you try with cm9 also ?? Many people will not come back to cm7 from cm9 once the camera is working (which will be pretty soon )
