First thread, Yay!
I wanted to share with you a Theme for TWRP based on my new image from deviant art called Impact.
I am giving a lot of credit to JWhetstone02 as I mainly started from his theme and slowly but surely replaced as many icons as I could and changed the layout of some items.
If I could get some feedback, I would love to continue making these for every new image I come out with.
Instructions:
Open the TWRP folder and create a new folder called "theme" without quotes
rename the downloaded Impact-ui.zip to "ui.zip" and copy it to the theme folder
Restart into TWRP 2.4.1.0 and go to "Advanced>Reload Theme"
Enjoy!
Please notify me of anything wrong, I have only tested this on my DNA
I have also found the easiest way for me to test this every time I made a change was make a new ui.zip in my root folder and execute
"adb push C:\root\ui.zip /data/media/TWRP/theme/ui.zip"
Impact Alpha Theme is linked below, here are some mirrors:

These themes are resized for devices (HTC DNA) that have a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920
Your device, HTC Explorer only has a screen resolution of 320 x 480
This theme will not fit your device. hence why you only see the wallpaper, well probably part of it

ok... the theme however seems to be awsome. wish I could resize it for explorer but I don't have proper resources for that.
I am sorry that I don't have a theme formatted for your resolution, I'm sure I could cook something up for that resolution if more people were interested.
Theming this isnt hard but to get everything right requires going through that 4000 line xml document :S
I wish more people would tell me if this looks good on their DNA lol
Looks nice mate. Thank you, I appreciate it
keep up the good work! It's not that bad once you get with it
If you get the time and can be bothered, would you consider making the same one but having the buttons all about double the size and with no planet template behind them all. Theme is gorgeous it would just be nice to mix it up some days

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

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
This there a Tutorial anywhere, what files i have to edit to get the red in yellow ?
Which apk i have to extract, and is there always a png ? or must i edit a xml file ?

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.
To start, I really appreciate all you've done to help the XT720 community out, you've made my phone a much more functional piece of equipment. My question is about the location / name of the icons for your added functionality in the power menu, the Reboot & Recovery icons. I was able to theme the others with a morph (thanks to your fix ) but I haven't found those yet to try & math them up. I've attached a screen shot to help explain what I mean.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

They're inside framework-res.apk but the path is different depending on whether you have the metamorph fixed version (recommended) or the initial metamorph-incompatible version.
After the metamorph fix they're res/drawable-hdpi/reboot.png res/drawable-hdpi/recovery.png.
In the old depreciated one they are res/drawable-hdpi-v4/reboot.png res/drawable-hdpi-v4/recovery.png.
Did you apply a morph that you expected to have changed those, but they didn't change? If there's a different consensus/recommendation for the filenames from other ROMs (esp. Milestone ROMs), I can rename them to improve compatibility/reduce theming effort. I'm learning most of this as I go on the XT720 and have no experience on other phones.

I used a CM7 morph (through ZipThemer so the incompatibilities get skipped). From the screen shots there should be a Reboot Icon in there somewhere, but no Recovery.
Thanks.

It looks like they call their reboot icon ic_lock_reboot.png and I see some google hits for ic_lock_recovery.png. I'll add it to my todo list for the next version.
That's a very nice theme. Wish there was a blue and black one (honeycomb) like that that I could easily put on Khal's V4 ROM. Or is there?
Gotta change the current dark red theme, not really a fan of it...
Has anyone figured out how to use a bigger system font on this phone? I tried the older font zip from the OG but the install fails.
The higher resolution in the 3d is nice, but the tiny system font is a problem for me.
Copy the fonts in using root explorer and change permissions to match the others.
You could raise the dpi, I don't know what it would look like though. I tried changing the font using that same method myself and the phone crashes on boot up. I didn't change the permissions, I didn't think I had to.
Flash the single font file
Those of us that just recently started needed reading glasses can sympathize.
Download Font Changer from the Market. It's pretty idiot proof as it always allows a reinstall of the default system font if you screw things up. Has a great "preview" feature that lets you see just how big the fonts are to install. It doesn't specifically say the 3D is supported but I can confirm it works with a rooted ViperROM. I didn't need to do any of the renaming things either.
Good collection of free fonts from here. Just download them and unzip the .ttf files to the .fontchanger directory on the SD card.:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
Experimented with a few different fonts, a couple of the "bigger" fonts would be cut off on the bottom or top depending on what application I was in. I ended up settling with the Luxi-Sans font and am pretty happy with it. Don't need my glasses scrolling through my call directory anymore!
Here's the direct link to the Luxi-Sans font I'm using:

Thanks for the information guys!
I will try these ideas.
Rydah805, would you describe in more detail how to do the above?
Thanks again.
I made some Note wallpapers and just thought I'd share with everyone.These images are not my works,I altered images I found on the great and powerful Google.I use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set them so they don't have to be cropped or anything fancy.Enjoy
*edit* fixed the one wallpaper
Nice but the first wp has a tiny line on the left side. Might wanna fix that.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

Thanks. Make some more with blue and white, and an android, would be cool!

I'm not trying to rain on your day but just wanted to offer some ideas about making things fit on your Note proper. While Wallpaper Wizardii works, it doesn't work optimally (all the time) and tends to stretch and pull pixels causing the wallpaper to look distorted and funky IMHO. That said. The proper resolution for the Note should be
-1600x1280 for scrollable wallpapers
-800x1280 for fixed wallpapers
my advice is to use GIMP or Photoshop to adjust your wallpapers for proper fit. I also advise NEVER to use a wallpaper that is smaller than 800x1280 because blowing a wallpaper up just looks horrid.
Always find something that is larger than your target size....so bigger than 1600x1280 or bigger than 800x1280.
step by step
1. Save the wallpaper you want to resize to your computer
2. Open GIMP and create a new file (800x1280 or 1600x1280)
3. Open the wallpaper you want to resize
4. Adjust the size of the wallpaper that needs to be resized (most of the time you will not get a perfect size for example you may have a 2000x2000 pic you must resize to 1600x1600 otherwise it will be funked up, don't try resizing to Note dimensions).
5. Once it's resized COPY it and go to your new file and paste as new layer.
6. Use the alignment tool to align vertical and horizontal
7. You're done unless you want to add text or something else.
8. Save as a .jpg and send it to yourself, or save in dropbox or whatever.
Anyway, that's just a short bit of advice.....again, not trying to be a **** just giving advice as I have been doing walls for awhile now.
Good luck! :good:

Oh no problem at all bro , I started using wizardii because the default wallpaper chooser on the note always wants to crop pics(even original note wallpapers)when you choose them.I appreciate the info and maybe this weekend I'll have another go at it.I used to have GIMP,I will re-download it and try it as my tool(I was in ms paint doing those lol) because I don't have photoshop and honestly I tried photoshop once upon a time and it was extremely confusing for me to try to figure it out.Thanks for the help,I really appreciate it.
no problem.....I'm here to help. And Photoshop is not all hard, GIMP is not hard either, especially if all you're doing is a resize or fit. Making your own stuff gets into a higher learning curve.
anyone is free to hit me up if they have questions, always willing to help.....just don't get mad if I don't answer straight away....I do have a RL with a wife and 4 kids in it so I sometimes get doing other things. LOL

I already have it. I'm actually looking for the exact one. Anyway thanks buddy.
This has probably been answered elsewhere, but the Lollipop logo font is simply called 'and'. It has two typefaces, light and black. It was made bay a company called A2type specifically for Google. It's license makes it non-redistributable but it can be extracted from the Androidify apk under framework/res/fonts.
Unfortunately, the font is not available as a standard ttf to be installed as a system font on Android. and-light is available only as an .otf. and-black on the other hand is a ttf font which can be installed on Android, but both font typefaces suffer from an extreme vertical offset that causes text to be off center or cut off throughout the interface. In order to make the font usable, someone would pretty much have to copy the glyphs onto a new font with proper spacing in order for it to look correct, which would be a considerable undertaking. Which really is a shame, because and is a very attractive font and would make the perfect compliment to the new Lollipop UI.
Lollipop Logo Font
Update:
Well, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. I took the liberty of "fixing" this font, and I created light, regular, bold and italic typefaces. Enjoy!!!
Note, there are a few bugs that occurred from the conversion process which I will fix as I find time.
Download the font here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdk38fti3bal925/Android%20Font.zip?dl=0
UPDATE 5/2/15
I've fixed quite a few errors like the trailing e at the end of words, the percent sign and various alternate characters showing up in the place of certain punctuations.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b39y3hfqw287wdg/Android%20Light.ttf?dl=0
Did you only fix the Light version?
