Root [THEME] Watermark'D {Multiple ROMS / Multiple Options}

I'm having an issue with the SS 4.6 theme. The answer call slider doesn't completely show up on the screen. It only shows half of it.

That is a ROM related issue, not the theme. You can check around, not sure if there was a fix post.

I just called myself on CM 6.0.0 RC2, and had no issue. Running Watermark'D 3.11. I have yet to change any of those images, or even mess with them. that is why I consider it a coding issue, not an image issue.

I'll be adding the links back for UD 6.0.0, when I get off work. With an explanation.

Alright, link to Watermark'D, full UD 6.0.0 ROM is back up.

Went back and forth all day with this, but in the end, I felt it was better to just let whatever happens happen. My take is this:

Look, I have been theming now, almost at a big fat three weeks. Three weeks. This is my first theme. First one I have ever tried/worked on/edited, anything. Do I take pride in it, hell yeah I do. Did I appreciate seeing it ported over? Not happy it happened without being asked. Some guy asked if he could use it for his phone at SDX-Developers... no clue who he was, or phone or anything. Simply said yes, because he was cool enough to ask. Did it piss me off even more when I saw he had credited everyone in the Android community but me for the work on it? Oh hells yeah. I don't ask for anything. I try to do anything I can to appease the communtiy, as seen with the multiple ROMs I am trying to support, even when I have not flashed any others (call me a fanboy, I stay loyal to CM...the whole reason behind the theme). Once that started, I had to customize each theme for whoever the ROM was. And if you read throughout the pages here, that was many, many edits. I have put tons of time and effort into this. Probably a bit too much. Meh.

Anywho. I do not place full blame on Blackdroid. He gets part, because it is his site... and man, if you are going to let someone have that kind of access to it, you need to know what they are doing. I have seen you said they are not part of "your team", as you don't have any, but really. If he would have bashed you and your ROM on that site I bet you would have deleted it. Correct?

Either way, in the end, it only benefits the community to keep up support for his ROM. Too many user could use it, come up with a great idea, it gets added, etc. etc. Denying people who have absolutely nothing to do with the situation is a tad bit unfair, at least in my eyes. I know I rambled, but just wanted to let that be known. Respect goes a long ways. I do this for a thanks, and that is it. I don't have the clout the developers do, or the guys that have been theming for quite a while do, but I do give respect when warranted.

Okay...better late than never

Here are the screenshots of the answer screen when receiving a call.

I was running the same ROM for all three themes (Liquid Frozen Yogurt). Different themes seem to affect how far of that answer icon is. Also on the Watermark'D version the decline slider was highlighted. Very strange stuff

From left to right: Stock Theme, Blueberry Theme, Watermark'D Theme

Odd. I saw the email where you posted it, wanted to get home to see. Is anything different from the stock framework-res.apk than mine... as far as code I mean. Again, it isn't the images. It has to be some type of small code issue. I am interested in seeing if I took the one from the stock rom, just replaced say... 15 images, and let it run what would happen, and so on and so forth.

Maybe narrow it down. Other than that, I don't know.

Hey Stewart just wondering if it was OK if i made a slightly modified and optimized version of your blue liquid theme and release of course giving you full credit unlike other people i know won't mention any names lol for the original work you did which is quite amazing i might add plus when are you gonna add me to g talk And yes i figured out the answer slider thing it was the apk i had used replaced it with another one all is well now

Click to expand...

Yes, of course. Do what you need.

And now that i re-read what liquid posted, I thought it would have to be something in the .apk itself. Images usually just won't cause that.

Thanks Stewart your the bomb should i just credit you or should i credit papa droid as well let me know planning a release very shortly Check your PMS then i will send you my gmail addy would love to talk sometime with ya!!!

My PMS never developed. I think it's a guy thing not having it develop that way.

I never use GTalk. Thinking about trying it out though. Hah.

Your new lockscren:



And yes, I know it is pretty plain, but it flows with the rest. Its simple, and hopefully clean. I didn't like the bars on the side, so removing them was first priority. After that, I tried several different things for a lock... scan code, key entry, handcuffs, fingerprint, hand print, ball and chain... just many different looks. It eventually came back to the "simple" lock.

Well, off to more work. Trying out some new things, may be able to post some previews soon.

If you guys could.... Could you post what is and isn't themed on "your version".

So I can compile all at once, and get every ROM up to exactly the same point. I know mine is ahead of what everyone else sees, but from Lithium, to Sapphire, to BB, I am unsure if I forgot anything. That is my little project tomorrow, to get all ROMS themed back up to date. Including some small edits I have here....

-Twitter 1.0.2 icon added, still working on theme
-Lockscreen
-Contacts image resized
- Small framework-res.apk edits

Thanks.

Here is a post for instance:

on Sapphire:

no Facebook or Twitter icons/theme
lockscreen hasn't been added
contacts image hasn't been resized

in comparing my version to your screenshots in the OP, the Navigate, Maps, and Voice Search icons haven't been themed.

and i don't know if this is something you addressed already, but in the Contacts, one or two of your other themes (LithMod and UD, i think) had your themed icons for the "phone", "call log," "contacts," and "favorites" buttons at the top. it's not in Sapphire. i don't know if this was on purpose, or if i missed something or if i messed something up or...
