What happens when ElegantSteel and Gingerbread meet?



This theme is a mashup of the theme ElegantSteel by Jedipottsy and Gingerbread4Froyo by GRZLA. This theme is based off of Velocity 1.0 for Android 2.2.1 (FroYo) Both are needed to flash.

make a nandroid before you do it and if u dont like it just restore it

truelefty4

If you are running Velocity then go into "Terminal Emulator" then once it opens enter "su" if for the 1st time opening it will ask for root permissions and press "Allow" once that is done. type "velocity" then enter "1" then press enter then type "4" press enter then pick Stock Gingerbread ,GingerBlue ,GingerRed , GingerYellow

Cl8rs

Okay, I did:
su
velocity
1

but theres no 4, just 1-3, option....help?

KingOfGreen

su
Velocity
1 cosmetic changes
4 change theme

Just retry, the steps posted are right

truelefty4

Ok you need to update script that's why

Su

Velocity

4

1

then once it is done go through the 1st steps I gave you

PowerBomb

Wow that is beautiful, downloading right now! Thanks!

Edit: Was the wallpaper not included? Still had my usual one after reboot and don't see it in any of the menus. Where can I get that?

KingOfGreen

I like it! Good work. Thank you

AndroidKris

You need to update your scripts. Like above. I didnt read that right at first, dyslexia sucks. Sorry.

Heh. Was meaning to do that. Couldn't get it to flash into the theme right . Here is the link:
xda-developers

Cl8rs

Thanks, you were right. Its all good

bnitty

can this be used on 2.1?

KingOfGreen

Im pretty sure 2.2 velocity 1 only,

j2cool2012

If enough people want it on 2.1, i will port it to previous velocity, or whatever. Just request. That goes fer all of ya!
Post your build, and i will port it for you.

The only reason I am hesitant to download this theme is the black-on-dark gray in the notifications menu. It just seems almost impossible to read. Could you make the text white/light gray? Does anyone else find this a problem? Also, the notifications on the top bar seem to be gray-on-gray (at least the USB one).

I don't mean to bash, just be constructive.

I COMPLETLEY agree. These are being worked on and will be fixed in EGB 1.1 (Out this Friday!)
Thanks!

xepicxacidx

I dont know if you could possibly do this but i think it would be convenient if you could get your theme put in the velocity script??

PowerBomb

Good to hear about the notification screen being updated, I also found that to be the only thing I didn't like with the dark text.

j2cool2012

Working on that now!

j2cool2012

Elegant Gingerbread 1.1 will be up by the end of today!

yohobojo

Awesome!

DevinSean

When is 1.1 coming?

j2cool2012

...ran into some problems... will try to make the EOTD deadline... it is ...10:55 PM here... GO!

AndroidKris

Uh oh, missed the deadline.lol. That's okay though, I'm sure people are patient and can wait a little longer. Nice work btw, I definately want to try this out when 1.1 is released, and would love to see it in velocity script.

j2cool2012

Yeah, i know. I tried as hard as i could to fix it, i WAS able to push a small 1.01 update. fixed an icon and made the wallpaper flash by default. Will try again tomorrow. How would i go about getting it in velocity script?

xepicxacidx

You would prolly have to ask trident about how you could get it in there

GRZLA

This theme breaks velocity reboot/recovery options via the power off menu. It wont make it into the velocity script that way.

AndroidKris

Talk to Savoxis about puting it in the scripts.


^^What he said about breaking the reboot/recovery options. To fix that, pull Velocity's framework-res.apk, then port the theme into it.

yohobojo

It didnt for me.

GRZLA

You can hold down the power button and reboot and recovery are options?

yohobojo

Yes

yohobojo

But i use velocity no clock mod... that maybe why.

j2cool2012

i fixed that before 1.0 was released GRZLA...

DevinSean

For some reason I cant flash this. It says that it completes but its never there after the phone restarts. Yes I have Velocity and 2.2.1. I'm also using Amonra Recovery. Any ideas? =[

savoxis

So.....

I put this in the velocity script, and No I didnt ask permission.


Your update package is screwed man, you need to:
Delete the framework-res folder in framework as it looks like its left over from devving
Rename the framework-res.zip to framework-res.apk as as it is named this does nothing but add unneeded files to the /system partition.

The one in the script works.

EDIT:
Default wallpapers are in Launcher2.apk you should put your wallpaper in there as default so people dont need to manually apply it

Ok, so I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to change the black text on the grey background. Anyone with any suggestions?

GRZLA

Framwork-res.apk/res/layout/*statusbar*.xml

Deompile, edit hex color codes, compile.

j2cool2012

Tried, and it gave me invisible. Tried to fix it, and it gave me a bootloop.

j2cool2012

Trying to get 1.1 up and running by tomorrow. Anyone who still cares about this theme, post bugs/suggestions now, so i can implement them in 1.1. :-)

yohobojo

I cant seem to read the text well in status bar

KingOfGreen

Only issue, hard as hell to read outside. other than that its great!

yohobojo

Exactly. I have to squinty my chinky eyes to discern what it says.

Corki2

I love the theme, thank you. I'ts very sleek. But, as others have mentioned, its real hard to read notifications. I didn't try it outside, but inside was very difficult.

j2cool2012

I think i just about got it. But i'm going to wait until Velocity 1.1 to release. K?

KingOfGreen

Works for me amigo! cant wait to see it

j2cool2012

So... i couldn't figure out how to change the text color, so i just changed the Background!

How does that look?

jmar

Looks great!
