Pickup page not working now. Every time I try to dl my UOT file I get an error.

An update maybe on theme or hardware...
Or maybe they're cleaning and tidying things up...
It's been on constant load constantly...
Maybe a good time to start learning bout theme DIY while waiting...

Theme Control Files?

[EDIT:] Could a mod move this to the Themes/Apps forum? Thanks
Hi, so I just rooted my 2.1v3 leak eris and have been looking at themes. I downloaded Metamorph from the market to try and apply my themes. However, Metamorph has not been able to find a Theme Control File in either of them.. I was wondering if people have this problem as well?
These are the themes I've been trying:

My rom is Aloysius 2.0 v12
Thanks for the help! I'm still new to the rooting scene, though I've tried all the roms I can get my hands on!

MM uses 2 diff types of files. THM, which is the old way and many people still use this, and XML, which is the new way and better way. You can always convert the THM to XML, but will require you to rezip the file. There is a converter in the Hero section by the creator. Cant rem link. Not home, but just search it and you shall find.
Thanks, I was able to install the zip from my sd card in clockwork mod recovery

Stock Epic Dialer?

How do I use the stock epic dialer on Viper ROM? I don't really like the black theme and was just wondering if I could revert just the dialer?
Thanks

Greetings all I'm brand new to the community..
I would love to see more themed dialers, in addition to the above requests. I did a good 30 minutes of searching through various posts as well.. Only to find two specific threads regarding dialers
By: idkwhothatis123 and jbadboy2007
One spoke of FC with some contacts button or something..
The other threads mentioning themed dialers led me to believe there would be more..
I'm either missing something. or I'm missing something??
Might any body point me in the right direction of were I could check out some themed dialers? Purtty please?
I'm running (this took me 2 days of getting my hands dirty!!!)
Epic: running Viper Trinity 3.03 and..... MY GPS works!!!!!!!!(20 hours and every version of firmware to get it that way.. )
But no I'm all warmed up and ready to go.. LOL..
Regarding a themed dialer.. I'm not just making a noob request.. I'm made the decision to start learning how to develop. Yay for me.. ( I have a programming bg and am excited to get started.. )
I'd love to replace the trinity dialer though in the mean time.. Jeeze Goat.. talk much?
Thanks all
I'm not sure which build that version of viper is on, but ideally, u could download any compatible theme. Then download the acs deodexed dk28 ROM. the dialer, alone is system/app/phone.apk.
What i would do is, open both theme and acs rom with 7zip (on computer), then drag the phone.apk into the theme folder.. then save, copy to sdcard, and flash normally.
Dialer
Thanks man for the quick reply..
I'm running SPH-D700-DK28-Extended-D
I believe that should suffice. Don't know what deoxed means yet. but I think my version is "deoxed"..?
So what I'm gathering is I can just grab any compatible theme copy it's phone.apk in to the the DK28 build that I'm using.. and re-flash?
That would mean I would then need to reflash the ROM right..
My understanding is that reflashing with a DK28 build will kill the custom ROM(viper)..
I'm having a sneaky suspicion that this should be in the devlopment section.. and now I'm thinking I need to do more homework.. Hmmmm
on another note.. I just d/l Viper Store from market.. they have some custom dialers for dl.. I'll try one of those..
However.. only one of them is available for d/l from my phone as the other 3 require one to use the multiupload link provided.. which strangely enough doesn't work on my(oranyone's?) Epic..
Ahhh so many little issues..
Thanks for you help

[HELP] Star Wars Theme Call Answer Screen

A while back I requested the lockscreen sliders from the R2-D2 Droid2 to be ported to our Glaciers and it was kind enough to have been fulfilled by Rich2Thad. It looks and works great with CM7 RC1. He based it on MrDSL's Mixer Theme. I had also done some personalization to it once he got everything functioning on it. Since RC2 came out and MrDSL released a version of his theme that works with RC2, I went ahead and merged the Star Wars theme with the new Mixer. Everything works great, except the call answer screen. I cannot get it to show the proper lockscreen sliders. I copied the files into the same places that Rich had used in the RC1 version. If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it!
Here's the link to download the RC2 Star Wars theme.
I want to say thank you to MrDSL for his killer Mixer theme. Without it I would not have my super pimp Star Wars theme! And also thank you to Rich2Thad! Because without him I would also not have my super pimp Star Wars theme! It really does make other nerds drool!
I believe the png's you are looking for are in the phone.apk. You can modify them just like the frameworkres.apk. Hopefully this helps you out.
Edit: Just pull the images from the old phone.apk and place them in the new phone.apk.

Did you get this working?
No, I never got the call screen working. I tried to edit your most recent theme in apk format to try to get this working too. But whenever I try to install it, it says application not installed. I'm at kind of a loss as to what to try next. :/

Zip the images you're trying to replace and put them here and let me look
Hopefully renamed correctly to match.
Here they are. Thanks so much for checking this out!

It looks correct to me..I assume you're using the apk? After you replaced the images did you resign the .apk? It won't install without being signed..
If you don't know how then attach your modified version of my .apk here and I will sign it for you and repost it when I get home..
Use the newer Mixer_03.apk
edit...after looking at the images you want to replace you would need to use the metamorph file since the theme engine doesnt work with the lock screen..give me a few here
I did not sign it! That would be the reason! I think I can get it signed with Android Commander. Thanks so much for looking at it! If I run into any problems with signing I'll post it up. Thanks again!
EDIT: I looked at your thread on the General Themes forum and it only has Mixer_02.apk
The lock images you will have to use a metamorph on cause they won't work in the apk but all the other images can go directly in the apk..I would go ahead and put all the images there so they are there but the lock screen you will have to use a metamorph..
Follow?
Sorry Mixer_02 cause I havent released Mixer_03 yet.
I'm pretty sure I follow. Just replace the images in your metamorph zip with the images I have for the lockscreen.

and the phone.apk also..they have a couple lock images also.
Thanks so much for all your help man! I cannot wait to get out of class so I can finish building this! And thanks for your badass theme! It is a perfect base!
In your new theme, is it supposed to remove the power control bar in the notification drawer?
EDIT: Nevermind a reboot fixed it. So weird though.
So are you going to share your nifty new Star Wars theme? I was using the old one too but of course have since moved on since it's been "outdated". I'd love to give your new one a try though.

Mostly what he is doing is just replacing some images from my .apk..What you could do is install the Mixer.apk and then just apply his metamorph to it.
So hopefully he will share his metamorph..
Absolutely I will! I just finished it up. I'm getting errors when unzipping my metamorph, but it installs just fine. I got it up and running. I will also upload my version of your theme if you're okay with it.
Okay... I posted the MetaMorph zip in your thread MrDSL. Here is a link to the post.

Help making a custom flashable rom

I want to apologize if this is in the wrong section ahead of time.
I have been running this over and over in my head im wanting to make my own rom. I had the idea that I could just create a zip that was able to be flashed on the phone and update everything that way. Im not really quite sure where to begin and I don't have too much programming knowledge (thus the idea to craft a custom flashable)
What would be the pros and cons of just making a flashable as oppose to building everything from the ground up.

Google is you're friend I would start with installing Ubuntu I Google's and found a guide for making a rom from aosp which is what I intend on trying to do when I get time but if you want a regular rom with your things in it you could use windows and any rom just add your own things to it that you want. I'm on my phone so can't help you much just pm me ill try to help as much as I can
What is it that you want changed?
Just apps and images? Make a theme.. i am working on one now. It's not too bad to actually make the changes, my struggles were learning the initial setup process and then WHAT to edit for my end result.
you can check my honeycomb theme thread, it may help.... theme section.

[Q] UI tweaks

what are some basic things i can tweak i need helped with this process because i am new to tweaking running on abby's EC09 Deodexed
i recommend downloding ciscoes themes and decompile them..
in short, the UI can be completely themed.. Likewise, you can replace the launcher with another.
If you are a genius you can modify the ticker, but i only know of one genius as of now... Just get in it and take a look! read dude!!
Great advice Pattie.. yeah specific questions get specific answers. And would take knowledge to understand and patched correctly.
My let my people theme thread gives the tools and tuts to get ya goin. I'm still "homeless" so PC is still packed soon ill be organized again and can use more than my phone to con tribute again.
