[THEME] UPDATED 4/2/2011 Full transparent theme 1.0 for LeeDroid 2.3d/AuraxTSense v8

Full transparent theme tested on Leedroid 2.3d, AuraxTSense v8.4
This is hacked together of different peoples App draws and Notification bars, along with blue touches from the infamous carbon blue theme and now with Clear Glass Sense [esk0Glass 1.0].
Also has power notification widget.
In short the only credit i take is patching them all together so hope you guys approve.
UPDATE ON WAY HOPEFULLY !!! TESTED WORKING ON LeeDroid2.3d !!!!
Just waiting on permission from the maker of the zip I based it on.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
http://www.multiupload.com/52HQJ8OZZZ The excitement was too much, If anyone objects to me using anything in the theme they have added let me know and I'll remove it.

hi
good job, nice theme
ps:Take shoot me on market for make screen shoot it's free ;-)

Nice!
I wish there would just be option to use Circle Battery A for this.
And get rid of that android robot on pulldown bar.

If you want to change bits do what i did, open the file and change the images, im not a dev. I made this how i like it from other peoples work. I uploaded it here just to share it. I'll try and post a how to later

Can someone tell me how to install this or point me to a link that explains how.
Many thanks

Yeah, had to use the blue carbon theme as a base to get the battery to work properly as the original one i wad using only had 8 stages.
Wanna do a "how to" next so people can add their own icons and custom battery images. Think if the masses new how easy it was, we could have alot more themes.
Im no dev nor graphic designer but managed to chop it all together.
Im sure someone out there could build a solid base file ?
Ps. Any chane of getting this on the mini site, as it was designed to work on leedroid ?

Could you please tell me what files i have to change to get a transparent notification bar whit circle mod A?
Or if you could manage to put that together that would be even more awesome

I was looking for this, very cool!

Nice one markhd. Youve inspired me to get theming. I spent a good part of yesterday learning the ins and outs and after many nandroids and boot loops ive figured it out. Im gonna check out themes for other sense phones like incredible and evo and see what i can port over(if i can). Cheers

So your saying I have to flash my ROM to change the theme? Damn I didnt realise it was such a big deal. Think I'll pass.
Thanks

you have an desire rooted James ?

No havent rooted yet because I havent had a good enough reason to do it. I have a card that i bought so that I can create the gold card etc, just not got round to do it as changing the theme isnt enough to make me root it.

Hi james, the benifits for many people make it well worth while, in addition to themes there are many more things to play with. For example custom roms with extra features, the ability to run apps from sd fully, bootscreens, sounds, icons, widgets, even some apps ( do a search on the market). Various fixes for bugs and issues that have been corrected by devs on here are often only availably via a flashable .zip of which useually require root.
There are also risks involved, you could brick your phone / kill your cat / forget to do the washing up. But i have not known anyone on here have an issue that could not be fixed, and now orange uk is sorted i believe all rooting can now be reversed.
Anyony please correct above info above as appropriate as i wouldnt want to miss inform anyone, just tryin to help clear up some points.

very nice,
I did a bit of mixing myself a few weeks ago to rosie that you might like, most of it's from the gorgeous looking Riptide9's Color'N'Clear theme for evo
(I'm also using LeeDroid 2.2)

Looks cool mate, not so keen on the clock personally but thats just me. The icons look freakin awesome. Got some new widgets, facebook / twitter etc might mix these icons in too !q

Great theme, thanks for your work. Am using it on Alex-V 1.7 ROM.
Bit of a battery drainer though!

I like it, but any chances to mod this theme and have green buttons etc (not blue!)

I was about to boot into recovery and flash when I suddenly realized I was on the SuperVillainHD-train. I'm doubting that this will work.
Buuuut I'm gonna have to try, later.

NERO V3!!!! For those with hesitations holdups... quit it...

I have been cowering in the dark like a scared little girl for almost 3 months now with my vibrant. All i had the guts to go and try amidst all this developement was the OCLF lagfix by Ryan. OH BOY OH BOY i had a 2500 quadrant score that i could proudly show anyone... ya that and a 9 hour battery life and checking the net always hoping for the... ahem... froyo update.
That is until i got fed up and brooke loose.... Team Whiskey presented the Vibrant world with their custom ROM Nero 3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883379
I mean The boys do a good job explaining the specs so i won't go into that, i simply wanted this thread to put ANYONES mind at ease who is sitting the fence on this one, take the plunge bretheren.
I've had it for 3 days and here are my beautiful experineces..
-My brother Had the same setup i did, stock 2.1 with OCLF. And today we sat down and did a comparrison. After 11 hours of light use ( I was working, but handful of texts and a few calls) but same for scenerio for him, I was sitting at 75, and he had 43 on his battery, and that is a exponential decay, i Made it from waking up at six to bedtime with more than half left, and i'm a night owl.
I am a testimant to the fact that OCLF (lagfix not root) is a energy hog.
-Everything you have heard TW work so hard to provide us in thier time, they have included this in the ROM, so in my personal opinion its the snappiest and smoothest ROM available. my quadrant score is around 1800 with voodoo lagfix. So i am also a testimant to the myth that quadrant scores can be very dishonest.
I'm no dev, but i am a heavy USER, and i am well read about the vibrant. So post all your holdups here and we'll try and get them taken care of .
Preflash checklist:
1. Do all your backups, nandroid, titanium backup, etc..
2. Disable any and all Lagfixes
3. Hold onto your butts, this is gonna be fun

Metamorph (can't flash these but super easy to apply) mods:
1. nero-blue-oasp: (jocelyn did a great job of making everyting blue except some of the green system icons and dock icons, this will finish the job as seen in my 3rd pic)
2. Gmail: on of my beefs with the nero was that when you get and email or sms message, the two notification icons look almost the same, well the gmail mod changes the gmail notification to the white and red gmail icon, no more confusion

New found mods
1. libflashplayer.so.fix.10.1.105.6 (1).zip (3.55 MB): HEY A HULU HACK!!! So this allows you to watch hulu from your phone, but as of now its pretty slow, but give her a go, at least its SOMETHING. so here are the steps to install
a. Download zip to pc, unzip, and put the actual file unzipped onto sd card
b. Use root explorer, go to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib, and replace file with one you just downloaded, be sure to change permissions for user to write.
c. open broswer now, and in settings (i use dolfin HD) change "user agent" to desktop.
2. nero_nexus_boot_and_shutdown.zip (3.77 MB): Made by jocelyn so its safe. Its that fancy 4 flying color bootup and shutdown, very nice. clockworkrecovery flash, and as with all her stuff, it takes several minutes to bootup the first time, just be patient, after that its back to normal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE
Proven Boot and shutdown animation/sound modification methods for NERO 3:
1. Gravis 86 Provided a great website to some software to make MORE of linda talking if you like http://cepstral.com/demos/
-I threw is "Bossman, you have a text", and "email awaiting". If thats your fancy, then download the cepstral software, with it create a few notifications, and the default save as a .wav file. You need to convert them to .ogg (lots of free converstion software out there). Then with ROOT explorer just slap them in /system/media/audio/notifications. this way when you go into sms message settings and click "choose ringtone" it will show up on the list.
-For bootup and shutdown mods follow this great thread http://androidforums.com/fascinate-...change-bootup-shutdown-animations-sounds.html. I can confirm his methods for bootup animation, shutdown animation, and shutdown sound all work great, as do all his animations posted. Only thing i can't get to work is bootup sound. May i suggest droid soiling the mac apple with his urine
Tips:
-When replacing bootanimation and sounds files. Caps matter, must be spelled EXACTLY as the origional file, and you can just change the old ones name if you want to keep it handy.
-Must reboot for it to take effect
-set permissions by long click, as user: rw and the other two as r and r. so it should be rw-r--r--

Where did you get the accurate battery from?

That's what I love about Android....so many ways to do so many things. No idea what switchpro is, don't use LP or BW.
First Pic:
1. ADW (you can use either regular ADW EX)
2. Use the swipe down (or up or whatever) to hide the taskbar
3. Battstat for the battery widget
4. Weather Bug Elite for weather widget
5. Clokr Evolution for the clock/date
6. Found the wallpaper on Flikie
7. ADW theme is default, but icons at bottom are from "ADW.Theme.Two (WhitVert)
8. Power Widget is stock Power Control from the Nero v3 ROM
Second Pic:
Mostly the same as above, just put in the AppBrain & SetCPU (color it to your desire) widgets.
Bluetooth and WiFi widgets are from CurveFish
Green Gmail is form the Gmail Unread Count widget
ROM is Nero V1

This ROM is hands down the best I have used yet. The others are great and all the devs deserve a big thanks and a lot of credit.
This ROM is just so smooth and FAST. It runs with my Nexus S with no problem and finally makes the Vibrant feel the way it should stock. Just the right amount of TW and all the goodness of vanilla.

Damn, we did a good job of hijacking this thread

I'm giving sammy until the 1st to deliver OTA because I make Nv3 my first flash on the Vibrant

isn't the point to convince people to try this rom?

Its my Daily Driver and its simply the best wrong I've ever tried.

I've tried lots of wrongs, but this one sure feels right!

Nero V3 is my daily driver. I have voodo enabled. It is fast and smooth.
I have not found any problems with this Rom. I have added joclyn's stay on fix when plugged in, her battery mod, then added the stock icons with color (not green) and circle battery.

Ya i guess that is technically the point, but to me happy reviews and pics are as good as proof as anything, so this is all gold.
Lolcopter, I'm really diggin the wallpaper, where did you find that? And I glanced over that blue keyboard mod, is it swype, one of the other keyboards, or for all of them?
AND you too Slow50, link or upload of the wallpaper plz?

mini quiz

hey everyone, I am about to release my rom (swag squad) and I was just wondering what features people REALLY want to see.
If you could just post what features you want to see I'll try and include every feature in the rom.
I know this may seem like a stupid thread but I think developers can be much better if people just tell them what they want.
Just post any questions in the thread and the rom will be released in the next 2 days or so.
thanks,
ljbaumer

gingerbread would be much appreciated.

Haha. at this point the rom is going to be 2.2 until a stable version of gingerbread is released for one of the "new"droid phones (Dx, D2, D2g, Dpro).
I am working on status bar controls on the pull down. Like on cyanogenmod and MIUI.

AOSP!!
Cool themes and icons instead of vanilla

thanks for the response,
The rom will be themed and it will have totally different icons than AOSP because in my opinion the AOSP icons are ridiculous.
The rom is based off of gummyjar right now but I will soon convert it to being based off of fission (gummyjar was originally based off of fission also). If tanzite turns out to be a completely stable AOSP alternative I will consider basing it off of that but at this point I have my doubts.
I am going to include the stock AOSP keyboard along with an HTC sense keyboard themed to look like the MIUI one and the controls in the status bar will not be released alongside the beta but should be out once the rom itself is out of beta.
Thanks,
ljbaumer

I'm not too worried about themes as I have a set 'theme' I kinda patch in to every rom I run but a black status bar with white text would be good as the default imo. Not sure if any of these would make it but here's a few things I would like to see:
Gingerbread Keyboard as main kb - The latest release of it as a standalone addon works very well on the D2 and the shrink effect is now gone
AOSP Lockscreen sliders
You mentioned the status bar icons already, but I'd love to see those in a rom on the D2
Have none of the google apps installed to the system by default, let users install them from the market or backups
And the impossible one for last!!! A battery manager that doesn't force close 50% of the time!

I have a few suggestions:
1. A charging light would be much appreciated, half the roms out there dont have it and its really an issue for me as I always think my phone is not charging.
2. Use the latest ADW (If that is what you are going to use), I dont like installing a new ROM and not having the choice to add or subtract screens or changing any launcher settings.
3. Have an alarm clock in by default. One of the main reasons I use fission is because I can still use the blur alarm with it, as I am not really impressed with any other alarm clock on the market.
4. Speed is always nice but without blur these phones run pretty smooth so im not too worried.
5. Make it work. This is kinda general but I just want a rom that I dont have to fiddle with to make it work. I agree with an above poster to leave everything out and just let us install it but things like the camcorder, GPS, USB etc are things that should work out of the box I dont want to have to wait for a new release so I can find my way through town.
Finally, thanks for helping out with these phones. I had to go to stock (Blur) for a little bit the other day and it just kills these phones people like you make me happy that I dont have to deal with a slow ass phone after spending 200 dollars on it.

One version of the rom will come out with a black status bar and one will come out with a white. Neither of them are the stock black and white bar but modded versions.
I will try and include the GB keyboard and I didn't know it worked by itself. If you or someone could post a link to it I will include it as soon as I can. I also include a MIUI themed HTC keyboard which I think works incredibly well.
The rom dosen't include battery manager because of force close issues but under settings-about phone-battery use- you can see all of the things that have been using up the battery in the same way.
I think it will have the GB sliders at the beginning once it is released but soon after I will switch over to stock AOSP sliders with a blue option.

1: at this point I don't really know how to include a charging light lol. But if you give me the link to a rom that includes one I can probably figure it out.
2: personally, I am a HUGE launcherpro fan but I understand that a lot of people don't like having to pay $2.99 for the extra features and the free version isn't that great so I may end up including ADW launcher+launcher2
3:I will use the blur alarm clock
4:there will be basically no blur except for: camera, camcorder ( i think blur camera and camcorder work much better), alarm clock, and files.
5: I don't really get what you mean by let you install GPS and USB...
Thanks for the feedback,
ljbaumer

Try basing it off of Ultimate Droid for D2 when the final stable is released. It's AOSP and RC2 is running damn well on my D2, minus GPS and camcorder.

i wish there was a way to get the iphone keyboard i know the market has lookalikes but they dont perform like the real one (thats the only thing i like about iphones btw) or to stick with android it would be fantastic to get the dinc sense keyboard if there was some way to make it work.

Iphone keyboard would be hard because it uses a different file type for applications and I would have to spend forever porting that over and I would probably need to finish learning java and the android APIs (which I am working on).
The sense keyboard is a themed droid inc keyboard and it will end up using the gingerbread keyboard and the sense keyboard will be a second option.

status bar controls are not the easiest thing to port and it won't be there on the first release but should be there pretty soon after.
I would usually be totally up for anything a user want EXCEPT for rotary lockscreen.
Sorry guys but rotary lockscreen is not going to be featured in swag squad because personally I hate how it looks. sorry
Right now I am converting the base of the rom to fission. I would release the rom right now except for my website and paypal donate are not up and I want those things to be up before IU release the rom.

I'm almost done moving everything over to the fission base, I just have to make the black status bar theme and then test it out.
I will work on my website tonight and hopefully I can finish it by the end of tomorrow so I can release the rom.

All my requests have been slowly added to various ROMs so far, except one. Notification power controls would be absolutely amazing. The one feature I've never seen on a D2 ROM that I want a lot.

Well I just finished moving it over to a fission base so that is all i am working on
can't wait to release this thing

It should be very fast especially since it is based off of fission which is just about as fast as roms get on the DROID2.
Battery life should be decent as well.
Gingerbread is not really my thing but there should be a fair amount of gingerbread apps included.

A Full Wipe is REQUIRED before flashing this rom. If you choose not to do this (for who knows what reason) please do not post any problems you are having!
Please note that because all apks have been optimized and rebuilt for maximum efficiency, themeing carelessly will break these optimizations

Can not wait to flash this rom. Your past roms have all been excellent. Thanks for comtributing.
I would encourage everyone to try this rom. His work with the evo and dinc are amazing.

nope. this rom is not deodexed so the mod has to be done differently. right now that is top priority for me as that icon bugs the hell out of me. i also plan on taking out the ADB notification, Alarm, and headphones.

Any chance of getting an aosp rom oit of you?

That's what I figured. I meant to say odexed but it got auto corrected to opened. Glad your working on it. It's really not a big deal but like you said its just annoying. It's completely pointless.

[GUIDE] GingerCream - ICS Visual Experience, Gingerbread Stability!

Alright,
So, like most of you, I am anxiously waiting the day a stable AOSP build of ICS comes out for our phones. I saw the SamMobile leaks come and go, I saw the CM9 alpha being released, and while I have immeasurable respect to the entire dev scene going on with ICS and CM9 none of the ROMs that have come out are stable enough for daily use.
Well, I needed something to scratch my ICS itch. I installed a theme over CM7, no use. I installed a theme of MIUI, no use. Everything came close, but nothing quite fit the bill. So earlier today I set out to make my phone look and feel as ICS as possible - and I believe I managed to do just that... and I now jokingly refer to my phone as running the GingerCream operating system This whole thing is based off of CM7, but there are elements that don't require CM7 if you want to apply them to your current ROM.
Its important for me to note that absolutely none of the things posted here are my work! All I did was experiment with a ton of different resources that each excel in bringing one specific element of the ICS experience to our phones, and combine them. Well, I can say that I finally think I put together something that will hold me over until a stable AOSP-based ICS build comes to our phone, and I'm pretty sure it can hold you over too. Without further ado, the process:
Step 1
Install the latest CM7 build you can get.
I personally downloaded and installed update-cm7-galaxys2-20111227 from here.
Step 2
Download the following zip archive: Link.
This zip file contains a whole bunch of sources (fonts, sounds, animations, wallpapers, etc) that are properly organized. Extract this archive somewhere accessible - I will be referring to it throughout this guide.
Step 3
Install Sonny Sekhon's ICS Theme: Link.
This theme is fantastic, and built specifically for the T-Mobile Theme Engine present in CM7. When you apply it, ignore the missing assets alert, and reboot your phone.
Step 4
Install ADW EX: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but it has two major things going for it:
1. It supports folders that look almost exactly like the ones in ICS.
2. Its smooth as all hell. Don't be fooled by thinking it has the same performance as the regular ADW launcher - with a live wallpaper in the background my phone remains buttery smooth.
Overall, I've tried a whole lot of launchers, and this is most definitely my favorite.
Step 5
Install the ADW ICS Theme: Link.
Apply it. Now, for some reason my app launcher icon in the dock did not change - I fixed this by dragging it out to the desktop, editing it, changing its icon and dragging it back to the dock bar.
Step 6
Install the ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: Link.
Its free, it works, its sexy, 'nuff said.
Step 7
Replace the bootanimation.
Navigate the zip archive you extracted earlier. Look for the "Boot Animation" folder, inside is a bootanimation.zip file. Make a backup of the original bootanimation file, and push our file to "/system/media/". Reboot your phone.
By the way, we're going to reboot the phone a lot. I don't know if its absolutely necessary, but I do just to avoid any weird mishaps along the way. I advise you do the same.
Step 8
Install the Roboto font.
Install and run Font Changer once, then navigate the GingerCream zip archive and look for the "Fonts" folder. Inside are four font files - copy them to the .fontchanger folder on your phone's SD card. Run Font Changer again, choose "Roboto - Reguler", and reboot the device.
Step 9
Install the transition animations.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Transition Animations" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Easy enough.
Step 10
Install ICS sounds.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Sounds" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Again, easy enough.
Step 11
Install WidgetLocker: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but I think I've tried ALL other lockscreen replacements, and this one actually has smooth animation and the ICS theme built in. It will also use the live wallpaper for its background.
Step 12
Install the ICS Keyboard: Link.
This is the one I use... works well, and it has a bunch of downloadable dictionaries for different languages.
And... that's it! You're done. The GingerCream zip file also includes static wallpaper images and launcher icons in case you don't want to use ADW EX - even though, again, I can't stress how smooth and beautiful this launcher looks.
What will this thread be without screenshots? This is how my phone looks after doing all the steps above (attached). Obviously I can't show you animations or sounds, so take my word for it - they look damn good, and they're damn smooth.
I hope you've enjoyed this guide! If you have any comments/questions/additions, don't hesitate to write 'em. Happy holidays!

I just use Checkrom revo with the ICS theme. GB with TW and ICS theme=perfect.

Haha, I'm digging this thread. And I'm gonna retweet this.

If TW is your thing, good for you I personally can't stand it. Still, you could pick up some parts of the guide - for example, the keyboard / live wallpaper / lockscreen.

Awesome! Glad you liked it

im no dev so just asking
isnt there anyway to use the ICS phone and contacts [including fav. category] in a gingerbread rom ?
cause thts 1 think i find to b really good , and the only visual things missing from the mods posted above
asking cause back when i owned a spica there was a frozen-eclair rom [froyo-eclair mix] , so mayb this can also b done ....

I have similar on my phone, but I used GO Launcher with ICS theme and there you can get GO Locker, which is similar to ICS locker, but is free. Also GO Launcher with ICS theme on CM7.1 with ICS theme looks great, very close to real ICS.

Maybe there's a way, I'm not a dev either. But right now it's not available, and I think we would all rather the devs to work on the ICS port itself rather than porting apks to work in Gingerbread

Yeah, I gave Go Locker a try. I had three problems with it:
1) It requires you to use Go Launcher as your launcher, which doesn't have ICS-style folders
2) The animation on the lockscreen is really choppy, and it really detracts from the overall experience.
3) You can't set the live wallpaper as the wallpaper for the lockscreen if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, if you're using CM7, you can still grab the transition animations / sounds / fonts / wallpapers / keyboard / etc. - I found that when combined it really works together to create a very authentic ICS look and feel.

Thanks for the guide! This is a perfect setup until a stable release of the CM9 is available for the SGSII!
Would like to recommend the exDialer with the ICS theme to get T9 dialing and the ICS look Just makes it perfect!
Thanks again.

You welcome! I really find it makes the phone look and behave as ICS as you can get. I wish I could record a video to show people how everything looks in motion. I feel like I breathed new life into my phone!
I looked and tried exDialer, but ICS dialer doesn't really look like that at all so... but if floats your boat

I'm addicted to t9 dialing, so it's a must for me. On another note, I see the calendar and the messaging app is not themed, any solutions for that? or did I go wrong somewhere?

Nice one
But I am too lazy to do all that and worst of all I ain't rooted yet as find the SGS2 is great as it is for the time being
Having said that the GOOD NEWS is that we will get a stable ICS release in January from the same people who leaked the first two * so fingers crossed*
Once again a good post for those who wanna go for it

^^Who said it's going to be stable??

Nope, the calendar and the messaging app aren't themed. I try to avoid installing too many additional apps to replace stock ones, so I avoided installing things like GO SMS or calendar apps. I also didn't find these apps to detract from the overall feel of the phone, personally.

Brilliant - good work.
