Thanks inFECT !! Great theme

 

[weasel]

Quick question. I just got Galaxo going. Will I get ADW and Darksense if I install DarkSense2.0_ADW-Standard.zip (Standard ADW Launcher 0.8.2) ?? or do I have to get ADW by itself on there first ?

 

[inFECT]

Quick reply: You will get both

 

[weasel]

Thanks a bunch !!

 

[assi4]

Great work, thanks a lot! I've been looking for a black theme for ages

 

[chronodekar]

Ok - I just installed ver1.5 of this theme (NOT above pics) and am in no hurry to change it anytime soon, but darn, you make my mouth water inFECT ! Please tell me, HOW do you go about theming a phone? I want to learn. Also, is there a risk of bricking the phone in the process?

Even though I never really did a complete theme that you can install via the recovery, I can tell you how, but it's somewhat complicated if you don't know that stuff.

Let me start by saying that a .apk is simply a .zip that you can open in winrar and such programs. And in it, you'll see all the pictures used in the application, so all you have to do is to modify them in the .apk, and you'll have a custom theme. If you want to modify stock applications, I suggest you start by using Metamorph, it's really simple (and download a metamorph theme to see how it's done). That won't work with Google apps (well, it will work, but you'll get a force close when you try to install apps from the market).

If you want to do it via update.zip, which I believe is a tad more complicated, you'll have to start in the same way: modifying the .apk to your liking.

When you're done messing around with the app, you'll have to recompress it in a .zip. Then, rename the .zip to .apk. It's not done yet, you have to sign your application, else it won't work.

To sign it, you have to download this and extract it. You'll also use this later to sign the update.zip.

Open a command prompt, and enter this:

testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 '''name_of_your_apk_without_spaces'''.zip '''name_of_your_apk_now_signed'''.zip

Alright, now your apps are modified and signed, all you need to do is the "update.zip". You'll need two folders at its root, the first being "system". The second is "META-INF", in which you'll need a "com" folder, inside of which you'll need a "google" folder and inside of which you'll need an "android" folder.

In that new "android" folder, create a new file called "update-script" and write "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:" in it. Note that this file has no extension.

In the "system" folder, create a folder called "app", containing the apps you modified. Again in the "system" folder, create another folder called framework, in which you'll have to put the framework-res.apk and the service.jar (you need the later the changed the color of the date, clock, etc, but I won't get into it, else this post will never end).

Now you've got to sign your update.zip, which is almost ready. So open a command prompt and put:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 '''update'''.zip '''update_signed'''.zip

That's about it. You should probably look into finding a better tutorial, cause it's long to explain and someone probably already did it better than me. Plus, it feels kind of weird to explain something when no one uses it. Anyway, I hope that helps some people get into themes. As I said, it's much more simple with Metamorph, but it's not so complicated either if you do a simple theme.

Uhm. This sucks in many different ways. I see what i did there, but it will be tricky to fix it. Thanks for the hint.

Also iam glad to hear that you guys like it. Thanks.

Maybe there's a workaround for this issue? 3rd party call log app or something. Btw. is there a black theme for GAOSP?

 

[inFECT]

Nah, its allready fixed for the next release ;-)

I doubt that there is any theme for gaosp yet, but i will make one as soon as i start using it by myself

 

[porga]

I applied this theme today (adw standard), it is fantastic. seems like new phone in my hands. One bug though, When pulled notificatio area from the top of the screen, half is blue and half is black?

I dont know if it is ment to be this way, but it it is why not use straight line?

It's not a bug, its ment to be. But after using it a while now, it starts to annoy me. Going to remove this most likely ;-)

 

[beitinsw]

It won't let me apply the theme. I probable have something garked up. Here are the messages:

Copying files...
E:Failure at line 1:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
Sync data...
.Installation failed

any ideas?

 

[inFECT]

Which file? And did you fixed the permissions before applying?

 

[beitinsw]

Permissions was it. I should learn how to read. Thanks!

 

[porga]

what will be added in new theme?

Next release I mean?

 

[Andrewwelton]

Love the theme, just a question. Where is the flip-clock widget? I cant seem to find it in my widget list? :S

 

[inFECT]

Love the theme, just a question. Where is the flip-clock widget? I cant seem to find it in my widget list? :S

Because its not included. I use Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets. Last one isnt on the market anymore afaik.

what will be added in new theme?
Next release I mean?

Dont know yet. Iam still experimenting.

 

[Tech]

Are those themes doing any harm to system?
Did anyone started experiencing some problems?
I had problem's with Galaxo 1.6.2 and Aero theme..when applied theme it destabilized Galaxo even more.

Can anyone post some more pictures of thees themes. For etc pic of dialer, call screen, opened ^ menu..

What are the differences between 4 versions of Dark Sense 2.0???

 

[inFECT]

There are more than enough screenshots floating in the web, even a youtube video about someone using the theme (google for it)

The difference of the four versions are explained in the OP.

 

[theredkrawler]

Has it been anyone elses experience that the ADW version is signicantly slower than the Advanced Launcher version? As in, ADW itself is far slower than Advanced Launcher?

I really like the eye candy of ADW, but it seems literally 300% slower than Advanced Launcher whether installed stand alone from inFECT's site, or part of a theme, or from Market.

 

[inFECT]

Nope, ADW is for me the fastest Launcher i've ever seen, apart from zeam, which basicly sucks because of no available system version and no source code.
