[Q] How can I add visual enhancements to my custom ROM? - Android Software Development

Before I begin, let me say that I'm MAKING a ROM for the HTC Vision. So far, I've compiled a build from the CM Github, so now that I have the actual ROM itself, how do I add visual enhancements to the ROM itself and not after flashing?
I'm talking custom fonts and screen animations, etc. I wanna create something similar to meXdroidMod Pre-GhostChili or PyroMecha 2.3.5, you know with custom fonts, boot animations, window animations, etc. so how do I go about in doing this?

How can I theme CyanogenMod?

Hi
I have been using CM6 Nightlies for a while now, and I have been lurking about in the theme section for a while, and I would like to know how I can theme my Cyanogenmod roms?
Is it a case of actually flashing themed roms instead of Cyanogenmod?
I know ADWLauncher (included in Cyanogenmod) can be themed independently, but I am still a n00b to themes so would like to know what the best options are!
Thanks
Stu

Check out the threads over in the general android theming forum, especially this one
Sage words below
TIP: Your first theme should really just be a mixing and matching of other themes to get use to the process.
TIP: d/l and look at other themes and see what the have done, using the same process below you can port and mash themes. To see what is themed go to the res/drawable-xxx folders and sorte the png's in there to newest at the top and you'll see what they have changed.
TIP: system/app/xxx.apk are where most apps that are themed are contained in these apks you'll find a res folder and in there you have a bunch of folders. you really on need to look in the drawable-xxx ones mdpi, no-dpi, land and so forth. these pngs make up the apps look and feel changing them will theme the app.

Theme chooser requires CM framework to work, so forget about adding it to stock ROM
no way
The T-Mobile Theme Engine is not just the Theme Chooser application, but changes buried deep in the framework. It was made for 2.3+, and for 2.2 support, it needs a lot of work (directing back SystemUI.apk resources to framework.apk, etc), and most of the themes won't work correctly, as they basically rely on the CyanogenMod structure, what is now miles away from AOSP.
Adding this theme manager to an existing ROM is a pain in the ass: first you need to get all the classes changed by the Theme Engine Overlay, then baksmali these files from a, the original ROM you want to add TTE to, b, a stock ROM compiled without adding TTE c, a stock ROM compiled with TTE. Diff the files from b and c, then diff a and b, and add the [b,c] differences to a without the [a,b] differences. That's all you need to do, and as a developer myself, I can tell you it will not just take weeks (8hours daily), but half a year of work.
what
What theme on my nexus 7 ?

Thank sir
You could also try the installing the Xposed framework, which can facilitate the theming of icons and such.

Theming entire Android system?

Hello guys,
Im building a custom rom which will be pure kitkat base on AOSP and will be name Bleach Xtreme. The problem is that for me to make it original and unique I need to theme it in white instead of any Black from kitkat. I like to see something different and unique. How can I archive theming to white the status bar, navigation background and same for the System Settings, SystemUI like popups etc and few system apps like calculator, etc?
I can use the help and willing to donate if ask or need it.
Thanks
Anyone have some time to guide? I see my concept was already stole on a new rom. Lol
Try using XPOSED Framework with XBLAST TOOLS and/or the Frame work.apk
Not much of a Dev but I know a Lil bit

Well the problem is that i know how to do that. I want to theme manually the framework-res.apk, Settings.apk and the systemui.apk. I want to theme the rom itself.
Thanks very much for your help

Stock Android SystemUI.apk?

Is there a stock Android systemui.apk I can flash to make TW look like vanilla Android? Wanam can't fix some of it and my power menu, etc all still have blue backgrounds. Thanks!

Vanilla Android? It sounds like you want the powder blue Google /ASOP look. Transplanting AOSP system apps isn't going to work well.
You would be further ahead installing an ASOP themed TW custom ROM. Or otherwise theme your existing ROM. Or alternately install a full ASOP ROM.

Which animation are you referring to?
Transitions between windows and applications?
Resurrection Remix has a tonne of these animations to choose from including list view animations.

Yea he hasn't done it yet, not sure if he will or not.
I'm guessing you're using fusion because the OOS camera is pretty much perfect and on other non OOS ROMs it's not.
Besides changing ROM or the Dev implementing the animations, there isn't a lot you can do. .
If you install xposed you can try some modules from there, must be some still going which enables you to change the transitions from screen to screen.
I've avoided xposed on nougat so it'd be at your own risk.

I guess you can try this idk if it would work ....would suggest make a backup and flash although the XDA post says it automatically creates a stock animation backup just make one more just in case
