Hi master themers
I have been trying to theme the phandroid app to no avail. I wanted it basically to be the same as the xda app.
I managed to swap out all the .pngs needed and even edit the xml files to give a black backgroud and white (and gray) text, signed etc... Installs fine too, but then just force closes after a little while, without being able to do anything.
Just the png's works fine, but the text doesn't work and still leaves BG's white
Unfortunately there are so many references to bg and text colour within the xml's, theres no way around editing them. Once I got past all the errors recompiling I managed to sign etc, Still no Joy
Its unbelievable just how desperate I am to get this black themed for better battery life (AMOLED screen). But after 3 hours of messing around, I have to stop - defeated.
As I am a complete amateur, I was hoping one of you kind souls would possibly help me out please? I have been using apk manager myself. If anyone is really experienced with theming existing apks, including at an xml level, I would certainly love to hear from you...
Thanks in advance
EDIT> forgot to mention, the version in particular I am trying to theme is this one:
http://phandroid.com/dump/android-market-publish-fail-lol.apk
Or if anyone in the know could suggest a better method, or where I could be going wrong please?
Sorry Dan, I doubt I can help with your theme but did notice that the link doesnt take me to the .apk
Perhaps somebody on this thread can help Where to find the colors for making a theme
KBanause seems every clued up

Looks like they took.it down. I've got the .apk anyway. Latest version is a bit dodgy
Thanks for the link

NOTE -DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO ANY DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT
I am looking for a developer to write a small utility that will remove the black lines on a Today screen that surround/delineate each Today item. The attached picture should help people to understand what I mean (see where the RED arrows are pointing).
The end result should be that any item seen on the Today screen will not have these black lines, leading to a clean, seamless look.
I was certain there was a registry hack for this; however after 2 months of fruitless searching on here and requests in other threads I have not found what I am looking for.
So what's different this time? Well, I will now pay someone to create a utility programme to achieve what I am looking for.
Interested and able to help? Please PM me.
Many thanks
WB
There's already an application which removes them... I ... crap, can't remember what it is. i'll search for it and let you know unless someone beats me to to it.
Nir,
Thanks. look forward to seeing what you can find.
WB
same as my problème?

thanks advance
It's the utility to change the colors of the today screen, I can't remember either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343335
i believe this is it.
hi this tool is awesome I didn't knew it, thanks for sharing
But it is not the tool asked, it is only to change the theme and the entire color of your phone
You could use Ultimate Launch. It doesn't display the lines between plugins.
It offers a few other perks too
All,
Many thanks for the various responses. I have used UI Tweaker several times to try to achieve what I want and while you can change the colour of the lines you can't entirely get rid of them.
As for Ultimate Launch, have also used that as an alternative UI but I don't like it I'm afraid.
The request is therefore still open for a developer to take me up on it unless someone comes up with an existing solution that does the job as I set out.
Appreciate the help so far.
WB
+1, I would be happy too if there is way to delete those lines
maybe i was wrong about UI Tweaker then.. because i KNOW there's an app to remove the lines.. i used one. i'll search again.
Nir 36,
Thanks in advance for looking. Hope you find the item. This has been a very long quest for me.

LOL you.. here? wahou
UI tweaker I try to but not work
yeh
I'm everywhere too ...
Still no idea guys... ?
Yeah. I originally asked here about this on XDA-Dev's about 3 or 4 years ago. The only response that I really received was that the lines are coded in to the shell32.exe or possible gwei.exe [sic]. I know that Wisbar Advance Desktop and a few other programs will remove the lines. However, those programs have a lot of other functions that some people may not want.
Here's my original post from '05.

I can't believe you made your request so long ago and are still waiting for a solution.
I agree with you that all that is required is a small utility to achieve this. Just looking for a talented developer on here to take this on. I am absolutely serious about paying someone to do this so its worth their while.
There are a fair few people who want this so its over to you guys, unless Nir36 finds the tool he says he knows of.
Thanks
WB
I'm sorry, i can't find it. I searched everywhere... so it's one of 2 things.
either i'm senile and i used UI Tweaker, or it's just... gone.
if i manage to find it sometime i'll post it.
I would be willing to give some $ to, If some one would like to make a app, for this.
Thanks T M Z
apparntly i got theme to be "transparent" because my background was black
You can achieve this, if you don't change theme too often and if your theme (TSK) file isn't with draws, with a tool like UI Tweaker from Victor Wong (http://mobile-sg.com), with the excellent ThemeGenCE (PC tools to modify the TSK file or with SKTools (in color tweaks)
Put the 'Today Screen horizontal Bar' at a very close color of your theme... The bars will be 'erased' (you won't see them...)
Hope this helps...

sorry, no time to do it, very busy with my job...
This would be definitly fantastic. Great idea. I love LOST.
Great idea, I'd love to see this. I'm a huge LOST fan
Sounds good, nice idea, I hope someone can do it
so any volunteer?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Idea
how to create additional tab in manila?
I need some ideas on icons... i am ready to listen
Hm. It`s quite difficult. Perhaps the symbols of the different stations on the island.
...perhaps like this
http://rapidshare.com/files/154170629/Dharma.zip.html
aha, i got it, every station had it's purpose... thx, will try.
this is looking great so far!! any update on the process?
i am a bit busy with my job, but will update soon. I changed my mind, i have another idea on how this can look like. will post soon.(weekend 25-26)
when it is ready?
thanks
i am working on L'amour theme now, but this one will be remade
How is it going.
Hey.
Im a big fan of lost just wondering how it´s going with the theme?
Take care
yes i would love to see this go some where!
Hi to you all!
I'm quite new to the forum but ever since I found my way to it I've spent hours on it
I've been trying to learn to make some icons and stuff and I practiced with the Lost theme. I don't really know how to make themes or cab files or anything, but I thought I could share that little something that I came up with....
I found some icons from this site: http://www.lostseasons.com/lost-icons/ and all the credit to those who made'em. I guess those can be used since they are there available for download. If some one knows otherwise let me know?
Anyway, all the icons were on the big sheet so I had to cut them to individual ones and do some resizing and make the background transparent etc....You can link the .png files to the Diamond icons with Manila editor or if you wish I can share my set of manila files...I just don't know yet if the order of the icons is good or not.
I also attach two wallpapers, other one found from somewhere from this forum (the dharma background) and other one found from some wallpapersite and resized/cropped for optimal resolution...I noticed someone else thinking the same that me too about the dharma stations used as icons and that might be a good idea for other "theme" with the attached dharma wallpaper.
So here's my contribution to the Forum
I just hope I'm not "stepping to anyone's toes" with this....?
14 Tab Icons - Dharma - Lost
I've taken some icons that Toranaga79 posted and combined them with the stock white Icons to create what IMO is a classy set of Tab Icons. I don't use the stock tab, so I didn't create on, if someone really wants it, I'm sure I could whip one up. Hope you like them!
I've created a cab to install the icons. Remember to disable TF3D from you today setup menu before installing/uninstalling.
Looks good nkryptit, I like them!
Thanks
I like the lost themes. Good job
Good morning all.
Basically as the title says, I need help customizing my diamond. I've had it a while and am getting pretty bored of the same old TF3D home screen etc. I've looked over all your designs etc and they are pretty dam good.
I would like to customize mine but have absolutely no idea where to start, if any of you could give me an idea on where to start and what to install etc, that would be great.
Thanks to anyone who helps.
The search bar is ur bestest best friend. But to help out, any post with [THE] before it is theme-related, and [WALL] tends to be wallpapers. You can achieve virtually any look for your Diamond by combining different apps. Here's a good link to get you started:

Yes, there might be a possibility that you ned this program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
It may help installing the themes.
there ain't nothing to it
but to do it
if all goes wrong, you can still hard reset your device
and start over
i started with manila editor to create my own custom slider bar and icons
and dl-ed some dll's for the taskbar and used someone elses clock from a forum
I started with installing A.Z.T.O.R.
got myself Manilla
Downloaded some nice themes etc.
atm i am looking for a program wich makes it posible to give all tabs in TF3D a nice background instead of just the Today screen
Easiest way I found was to get yourself some .cabs, easy install and uninstall.
Almost idiot proof! (well I worked them)
They're dotted around everywhere on these forums, just look in clocks, customizing taskbar, etc. threads....oh, and remember to thank the creator.
I started that way and now i'm getting to grips with the editors. Step-by-step
Im new to this forum, never done much messing about with smart phones I get by with pcs.
I got an x1i yesterday so far ive got TF3D working installed a couple of panels, xperia tweak. I installed diamond tf3d config and i keep getting an unexpected error when i try to open it. Everything else im relatively happy with. But at the moment im unable to change backgrounds or themes, if someone has the time i would really appreciate an idiots guide to changing themes and backgrounds on tf3d. And i mean idiots guide, I have looked for a guide but the one i found kept getting a 404.
So from start to finish if you have the time or patience thanks, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
Changing backgrounds in TF3d is easy, just go to the settings tab and hit wallpaper, then search for the pic you want on your phone and select it.
If your looking for wallpapers you can start with my thread HERE, these are all formated to fit TF3d nicely.
to get the background to show up in all tabs, I recommend using mun_rus's mUn background4allpages.cab There are also several applications out there for further modding your phones appearance, I suggest using the Forum's Search feature, your bound to find some useful info.
Thanks very much had tried 2 other background for all tabs apps, but none of them seemed to work. Thankyou
Does anyone have any idea why diamond config gets an error when starting?
or search for nixx-x1 post explaining how to create your own bckgrnd for all tabs

Yeh, go into the install folder and delete the file tweaks.xml then run the app again. will work now
Like the title says how can I put a video into apk and let it play after someone opened the app
No one helps me ? I thought this is a forum
It is a forum. What you are asking for though isn't java help, its smali help so you're asking in the wrong forum. I would recommend doing some serious research into the decompilation process of apks. Additionally to me this looks like you are trying to make a spam version of a normal app (won't ever work btw because of the apk signing process) so its not really any wonder why no one has offered any help.

It is, its just a lot of work and I doubt anyone in this forum would be bothered enough to do it in smali, besides the developers that actually know smali properly enough to do this are very few and far between.

Can you move the thread to proper forum ?
And btw maybe its possible to just make a splash screen but use an animated gif that would be awsome
