[Q]How Do You Install Custom Android THEMES

XDA,
Just wanted to know how can I, we add themes to our Android builds. For example, this UltraLinx Desire Theme Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736987
I currently have Metamorph, but nothing is working for me. Just wanted to know if anyone is able to add custom themes and how.

misleading title, you shouldve put [Q] instead of [How-to]
but i belive i read that Metamorph does not work on the HD2.

Wrong. Metamorph works for me, but check for each theme their compatibility.
For example, the metamorph theme often need for modding the toolbar, that you have cyanogen (shubcraft hd2 roms for example)
Changing battery icon often didn't need anything special and should work.
For exemple on my shubcraft build :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It can be tricky to know what works and doesnt on our distro, so always make a complete titanium backup before, in case your system doesnt boot anymore.

Change the title if you want more people to help you... I thought this was a how to...
I will be posting a how-to on my site soon...
In the meantime, for system themes: simply replace the the drawable-hdpi in framework-res.apk/res with the one from the theme you want. use adb push to put back into the phone.
On my build, since there's no recovery mode where we can safely change system files in use, I had to reset my email accounts and wallpaper settings after this...
no biggie...

Thanks fellaz

metamorph does work
I use the donator version and was able to successfully use the zen theme and a few more themes
however, I have been receiving issues with installing others (eg nextTang for example)
What I've been doing/done that hasn't worked is
I create a file in the root directory of my storage card, make the system folder and copy the theme files to the system (eg app, lib, res)
but my android gets a reboot sequence. It never boots after I apply the theme
I should clarify this is on shub 1.4b cm6 rc3 I tried that method
I also tried editing the htcupdate_leo.tar.gz in which the system file is in (copying the files from there) but I can't boot afterward. The boot splash reloops
any help is super appreciated
edit pongster where in the heck is your site????

Been tryingt to change the ugly stock sense theme all day without luck.
Tried metamorph even the pro version, then to replace files in root framework also creating framework folder in android build folder but nada, the phone will not boot after these tries. Kinda getting the feeling im not getting the right themes. Using darkstones latest.
Any links and howtos on successful theme installs?

with darkstones ROM's and builds you will need to delete the .odex file and the file you are about to push over before you can get it to work right. so in short the steps needed would be.
edit your theme to your liking
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.apk /location/of/file
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.odex /location/of/file
adb shell push nameoffileyouthemed.apk /location/you/deleted/from
adb shell reboot
this should work, but dont blame me if it doesnt.
i take no responsibility. this is simply what works for me when working with builds that have not yet been de-odexed

framework-res.apk does not seem to have a matching odex file. All the jar files have it but not apk.
ill give it a shot anyway.
no luck...
did however find out that placing the framework-res.apk on storage/android/root/system/framework does load it upon boot (saved my last crashed build by placing the original framework-res.apk there).
however have tried several framework-res.apk files from different themes... all of them crash my froyostone buid at the moment....sux :-(

Thx starbase64 for the gif!
demo at http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/09/droid-2-r2-d2-boot-animation-live-wallpapers-leak-out-at-light/
this is a version modified by me to work on HTC HD2 mattc froyo 1.7 sense and probably on HTC DESIRE (foryo),
it is resolution adapted (from 854x480 to 800x480) and from multi folder in the zip to one folder
The multi folder zip is needed for the looping and only works on droids (i think) and the 1 part zip work on hd2, desire
NOTES: it does not loop like on droid R2-D2
Install instructions
for rooted:
1 backup bootanimation.zip found at/system/customize/resource using root explorer
2 copy bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource, overwrite as needed
3 reboot,
for non rooted
1use adb push (your bootanimation location ) (the location from up above)
example: adb push c:/android/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
Install notes: if your bootanimation is not located in /system/customize/resource try /data/local/ or system/media
/system/customize/resource is certain for mattc leo 1.7
I also uploaded the original R2D2 bootanimation.zip that works on droids (it has 3 folders and looping): the original did NOT work on mattc build
and the HTC bootanimation.zip found on the mattc leo 1.7 for testing and for those that want to revert back and did not make a backup
REMEMBER to change the name from bootnimation_orig.zip or bootanimation_htc.zip to bootanimation.zip
ALSO i uploaded the 4 live wallpapers and the static wallpapers from R2D2 and the .ogg used in the original 3 part animation, if anyone gets it to work please report back

cool! Really neat!

I'll try when this gets the virtual thumbs up using SHUBCRAFT 1.5. Any takers??
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Cool. Do you have the live wallpapers the article mentions to upload as well?

Im trying this with HtcClay's SuperHD2 V1.2 but there is no /customize/resource folder. This build has the stock bootanimation.zip in the /system folder. I overwrote it, but nothing changed. So I created the /system/customize/resource folder and phone is currently stuck rebooting.
Lol, I love this phone!

working fine , ty

Ok, the phone is no longer perma-rebooting, but I havent been able to apply the animation. Anyone have any advice?

Doesn't work with Hyperdroid. I examined the bootanimation.zip that came with my installation (in the system/media folder, btw,) and on the one that comes with it, there are 3 folders, android, part 1 and part 2, all with multiple png images. This one has just an android folder, with jpg images. I'm sure that's why it doesn't work. (Proabably has something to do with cm6). If anyone did get this working, would you mind telling me which build it's with? (Simply out of curiousity.)

Thank you!

A little sluggish, at least on my HD2, but works.
Install instructions:
1-Backup bootanimation.zip found at /system/media using root explorer (i used Droid Explorer)
2-Copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media, overwrite as needed
3-Reboot

Anyone able to upload the live wallpapers and regular walls? At work right now and dying to get my hands on these.

R2D2 animation demo

Well I just found out something rather interesting. Hyperdroid 1.2, Originally I tried it and it didn't work. I renamed the old startupanimation, left it in the same folder, and put this one in, no luck. (It booted, but I got the normal android animation.) I gave it another go, this time not leaving the old one (even renamed), in the media directory, rebooted, and it worked! I haven't the faintest idea why that is, but if anyone else on hyperdroid is having problems, try this. Thanks for sharing this, it's a pretty cool animation.

i've come across the same issue, just use adb push, look at the nonrooted instructions, if that does not work delete some files from the resource folder (be careful!, delete only unused wallpapers/ringtones/sounds)

I,ve made changes to the first post!

Boot sound
I got the boot sound working on mdeejay_froyo_sense_v1.5_NOAXI. All i did was convert the .ogg to an mp3 and named it android_audio.mp3 put it in my system/customize/resources directory and bingo R2-D2 sounds.

it plays just like windows phone7 but repeats it over and over..
its for hdpi and ldpi devices...
for wvga screens: 1. normal: View attachment bootanimation2.zip
2. with dots: http://db.tt/NHDJong
for qvga screens: View attachment 655882
how to apply?:::::
option1: place it to data/local via root explorer and give all permissions(if s-off) and reboot
option 2: place to data/local via adb:
Installing custom boot animations (Credit to jcase from XDA):
Windows:
1.) Download the desired animation, rename the zip file to "bootanimation" and move into your Android SDK/Tools folder.
2.) Run the following adb command to push the animation into the proper place:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
3.) Enjoy!
Mac: (Thanks to Pitamakan)
1. Open a Terminal window, and run the following command. (This is assuming you installed the SDK in your Applications folder.) Replace "username" with the correct user name for your machine:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb
You should get a screenful of command syntax in response, which will confirm to you that adb is running and ready to go.
2. Put the bootanimation.zip file into the same folder that contains the adb file, and then run the following, again changing the username as needed.
Code:
/Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/adb push /Users/username/Applications/android-sdk-mac_86/tools/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
And that should do it!
---------------------------------------------
Reverting back to default boot animation
1.) Open an ADB Shell using:
Code:
adb shell
2.) Remove bootanimation.zip from /data/local using:
Code:
rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
3.) On next boot you'll have the red VZW animation back.

loving it... its great..
was expecting it since months....
and its here.........
it would be nice to see for mdpi also

how about this???? (watch the dots below)

Why the f* would anyone want that? I had to doublecheck the top of my browser to make sure it DID say "Android".

answer: for the same reason some people want wp7 style music player,home,sms, lock and others, iphone style homescreen and boot animations and others..
its about customizability...

No, that's like buying an Escalade and putting spinners and subs in it. Still the same phone, just customized for what people want. WP7 has a fantastic UI in my opinion and many others' so a lot of people like to have things that are like it.

Sorry for my bad english

screw the haters i think its great!

I haven't delved into boot animations yet, so forgive me if this question is noobish... would it be very difficult to take one of your boot animations, decompile, modify, and recompile to work on mdpi? I'm not asking you to do it, but just if it's possible to do with an already created animation. Thanks.
*Great work. btw

A bootanimation is not an apk. It's just a zip with images, so you can't decompile, just extract and resize the pics.
I'm not saying you are allowed (that's not my word), but you can do it as easy as that.

@abhi0n0nakul would you mind if I include the qvga in my next theme? Giving proper credit your work & a link to the thread here?
Thanks for your consideration

Hi guys,
Here i want to show my Rom Cleaner, its idea comes from => Here , so credits for the idea and the ini files i used as base belong to him
this app allows you to clean out unneeded crap and bloatware from your roms, before you flash them.
List of files to remove is about 100 different ones now.
i hope some of you will test this and provide feedback.
PS, program is coded in autoit, which some old AV's tend to flag, i'll offer admins a look at the source code if needed.
PS2, Only supports CWM type roms.
Greetz,
Damian

I'm assuming course that it would course invalidate md5 checksum, and as a result there's no real assurance that the zip had been repacked correctly prior to flashing.

no, it wont pass that test, but seeying its a regular zipfile, you can always test the zip itself.

True. What about the repacking of system.img ?

this basicly only works on the CWM based roms, which are zipfiles, so i dont touch those

Ahh. Hrm odd I don't recall ever actually using a CWM based rom, every rom I've tried after CM7.2 have been mostly ICS roms, and every i've ever unpacked have had each of the partitions saved as img files.

yes that is weird, every rom i use can be flashed by cwm, and when unpacked, only bootimage is a img file, rest is folders and files.

Interesting idea, cool. So far, I've been deleting manually files from the zips. One suggestion, could you add someday ability to add programs into the selected ROM?
Or even better, enable user to create batch package/batch deletion of his apks/always-deleted-apks that could be added/removed with a single click to/from every consecutive ROM ? Just a loose idea.. Thanks!

you can allready do that, just place the apk's in the files/add folder' it allready has system and data in there, just make a apps folder and drop them in

I'm afraid I don't follow. Drag and dropp doesn't work in any case. I tried dnd on apks, zips with structured folders or folders alone. Give me a tip

chech the program folder, in the files/add folder, are 2 more folders, data and system.
if you make an app folder in there, and drop your apk's in there, they will be pushed to your rom
example, 'files/add/system/app/MyTestApk.apk'

Ok, thanks for the advice! I assume that it won't push apks that aren't supported in removal? I'm talking specifically about Cerberus.apk - it is very advantegous to integrate the app with a ROM.

thats totally unrelated, any file you place there gets pushed, any file.

Come to think of it, I might actually be thinking bout backups I do recall a lot of roms do have the folders set where they're migrated to the existing filesystem.

true, CWM backups are img files

Very nice idea for a program. Is it limited to only roms for our device or literally any CWM flashable zips?

it works on all actually, but i only have HTC phones, so others arent much supported in the apk department, simply because i cant check them

VERY work in progress. Wifi works flakily use an open network to play with the keyboard tends to freak out when typing in a network password.
This is a PREVIEW of what this platform will become. It is not finished. Many apps are just placeholders. The good news the system image is built and you can just plug in new ubuntu images as they become available.
to install latest daily (as of 03/23/13)
Reboot into Recovery
Backup! - expect everything to be deleted if you do not.
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset) This is required!
Flash system image
Flash Ubuntu image
Flash Layout fix
Reboot
To reverse the process use adb reboot recovery - or hold power off button till it shuts down then restart in recovery - yes it's obnoxious but the reboot and power off commands are absent from ubuntu still. Once back in recovery wipe and flash a replacement android rom and you'll be back to normal.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU CAN'T RTFM.

After this gets to a more stable state for the A500 would someone be able to port it to the A200?

wifi is up

Raw speed
Hey Randomblame,
You keep me amazed by the speed at which you are able to get these new iterations running on our 2 year old machine. If anything it has re-validated to my what a good purchase the A500 was. Its developers like you that have made me a huge open source convert and I look forward for t he day when OS's will be device agnostic.
Thanks again for the effort behind this port and hope to see the platform emerge.

can we repartition fs to use separate /data for android and Ubuntu?

He does it again, that ol' randomblame! So, any cautions on backing up and restoring, or is it just like an other Android ROM? I assume there's always APX mode to fall back on in case of catastrophe.

I'm stuck on the black screen too

Luckily Ubuntu touch still supports adb and logcat for debugging - a black screen isn't exactly something I can trouble shoot read your logs I'm sure the issue will become apparent.
