GOT FROYO 2.2.1 Ports
Here you will find ports of my current 2.36 Themes to the new G.O.T. Froyo 2.2.1 version (not all - there are too many), which will grow with time. For consistency I link to the original Thread, where you find downloads, How-To and links to Original Threads with Screenshots.
Ports:
Elegant Steel - Done
SummerBlues - Done
DroidX - Done
BlackBar - Done
Black Droid - coming soon
Black Sun - Done
REVOlution - Done
X10 - coming soon
TechBlue - coming soon
Credits:
mattmaso for cooperating with me on the battery hack
XEUDOXUS for the transparency froyo hack and plenty of pngs for BlackSun
Jabberwalkie for inspiration for SummerBlues
manup456 for REVOlution
Jedispotty for creating the Photoshop concept for Elegant Steel
Brutall for his great apktool
jesusfreke for smali/baksmali
G.O.T for honoring me by selecting SummerBlues as the official G.O.T Theme
UPDATE Transparent Notification Shade:
Following Themes now have a transparent notification shade. Even if xUltimate patch did not work on Milestone (I manually edited the smali), credit for original hack belongs to XEUDOXUS for patching the services.jar as the first themer under froyo.
SummerBlues - Transparency Update - Done
BlackSun - Transparency Update - Done
BlackBar - Transparency Update - Done
Elegant Steel - Transparency Update - Done
Installation with GOT 2.0 OpenRecovery:
* Copy complete Theme Folder on SD in openrecovery/addons/themes
* Turn off the phone and boot in recovery as follows: Press the camera button first and then also together the power button, if you see the M logo, you can leave the buttons alone. After a few seconds you see a warning triangle - then first push the volume up button and then also together the camera button. You will see a menu and choose with the trackpad "apply sdcard:update.zip".
* In GOT Menu choose "Stock GOT Features Menu - Theme Menu - Install Theme Menu".
* Select your desired Theme parts (Bootanimation - Framework - Apps - Fonts)
* Finally choose under "Select Theme" your favorite Theme
Please don`t forget - ALWAYS NANDROID FIRST
For non GOT Recovery users Install Scripts are in all Theme folders. Copy these in Scripts folder of your OpenRecovery and install like any other script in your recovery.

Battery Hack for 10% steps Metamorph (incl. in my themes anyway)
http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-milestone/50339-metamorph-batterie-hacks.html
1. With Metamorph
* Rename LauncherPro in Launcher.apk and push it to system/app with permissions 644, then reboot
* Copy the complete .zip in sdcard/AndroidThemes
* Open Metamorph and choose "unzip/Extract new Theme"
* Choose "pick existing theme", then go to the unzipped folder in metamorph (like "LauncherProSummerBlues") and start the xml
* Reboot and you`re all set
2. With GOT OR 2.01
* Copy unziped folder in OpenRecovery/addons/metamorph
* boot in recovery
* Navigate to OR Stock GOT Features - Theme Menu - OR Metamorph Menu - Install Theme Menu and choose the morph
I would recommend using GOT OR 2.01
1. Safer, since in recovery mode
2. app will be zipaligned - less RAM usage and improved battery performance
3. Widgets remain intact
4. Backup function of original Launcher
thanks a lot
Thanks alot, im waiting for the black sun theme. keep up the good work
thanks a lot for these! looking forward to more
wow, amazing open recovery mods! nice work, guys!
not working
Hi, I just registered because i am so glad of the Froyo Firmware for the Milestone.
A big thanks to G.O.T. by the way.
But now I have a Problem, if i try to install one of the themes up on this site my stone will not boot anymore. I installed how it was explained. I put the theme folder in the Addons Folder in Openrecovery. In the openrecovery menu they appear and if i chose one of them the scripts are running and saying "all done" but then my stone does not boot. there will be only the motorola sign.
I installed G.O.T. theme and thats working - thats very good because otherwise i could not use my phone.
But where is the problem with the other themes? I tried it with ElegentSteel and SummerBlues both the same thing. I like to have the SummerBlues theme because the screenshorts are looking so nice.
Maybe anybody can help me?
best regards Joe
You have to put it on theme folder, sub folder under addon

Summer Blues is GOT and GOT is Summer Blues - read the GOT BLOG, I allowed them to use that theme as the new official GOT
Thx again @ GOT for using my theme and letting me test your ROM upfront, you guys rock. Also big thx @ jabberwalkie for his inspiration for summerblues and all the other devs and themers out there, theming is so much easier these days due to a lot of improvements of great XDA members.
i found a little problems.
- Notification background not transparent
- downloading/uploading dropbox notification fonts are black ( on black background )
(Black Bar & Black Sun - RTEU)
btw, thank a lot for nice themes

Thanks for posting the battery metamorphs!
I had a question:
Do you think the many battery icons that are in this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/75093-metamorphs-battery-icons-ripped-roms.html
would work on the GOT 2.2.1 for milestone??

they work without the 10% hack, but for the hack you need more icons and different names. I will launch more battery MM`s in that thread anyway.

I manually edited the services.jar now with success and the notification shade is now transparent for Summer Blues. I will update the other themes also accordingly and will keep you guys posted.
Ok sweet, i'm looking forward to more!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for anything bad happened to your phone after you install this window animation mod
Install this mod at your own risk!!!
Don't forget to nand backup your phone before installing this mod.
Got bored of same window animation?
Here are some window animations I gathered from various sources on Internet, made them to work with metamorph so one can change window animation easily.
Instructions:
Download and install Metamorph
Download attached zip file, save to sdcard in directory '/sdcard/AndroidThemes'
Run Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract new theme", you need to allow superuser permission
Select a zip file
After metamorph finished extracting theme, close the prompt and hit Apply all. The phone will reboot
Note:
Your phone may reboot several times
If your phone doesn't reboot, take battery out, put it back, and power on
To revert back to original window animation, get zip file on post #7
Does this work on rooted, non-deodexed, stock rom
I guess it will work.
But to be safe, nand backup first please.
u shud also include the "stock animation" u know wat i mean the default animation in case someone wants to fall back
also, can these animation be extracted and merged with framework_res?

Yes, the animations can be extracted and merged with existing framework-res.apk

Original animation is attached.
Can't add it to post#1 because number of attachment is limited to 8.
Any link to see the animations on video?
Sorry, not aware yet of links to videos showing animations....
Anyone?

How is this program better than another (market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.animation.changer)?
Nice find!
mmm... perhaps Metamorph better in term of price and Metamorph can handle various things such as lock-screen, boot-animation, etc., not just window animation
Do you know what the phone signal icons are that the stock Optimus V uses in the notification bar? I look in framework-res and the stat-sys-signal-#'s there are all 4-bar icons, yet the icons that my phone uses are 6-bar.

hhhmm no blur? i always see these samples, but still no blur....
-----------------
ok i finally merged the blur animation to my Nessy Fenice framework-res...
and this one looks better for minimalists like me.
not too fancy animations, tho i find it majority of the window animations on BLUR is just zoom in and out.
the only blur animation i can see is the MENU sliding up with blur effect and a little bounce after that.. cute.
tho after that, its all zoom in and out. hhmmm.. i hope other transitions also have those blur effect.
Any vids for the OTHER animations? Mabe a link to the mod's source?

Couldn't get UOT's window animations to stick. This worked, thank you!
Nice! Thanks for the hard work

working on LOL ROM "D
Hi to all...
after seraching and reading a looong time now, i am stucked, the only thing i found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033366
But i own a A500 not a Xoom... so what to do?
Wishlist:
- White Home/Backbuttons (have some, from Dexters Rom)
- white clock
- white Wifi/Battery Icon (at least not this &%$(/& stock blue)
dreaming:
when you scroll through your homescreens, a blue frame appears, how can i change those color into black? would be awesome, let it completly disappear, so transparent maybe?
I know many of you like the Blue Theme from honeycomb, but... i really hat it!!!
So, if anyone could help me... please feel free.
I am using Dexters Iconia P2-2, and dont want to use another. So maybe someone can post a modified systemui.apk ?
I have no idea if such a apk is always compatible to all ROMs from 3.1, so i dont want to test the Xoom one, and in this apk are things i dont want to have (like green google search bar, green glow and so on) modding,opening apk files by myself... i think its easier for me went back in time and kill hitler...
I wonder why there is no real theme mod around here for the Acer A500.
Hope some knowing guys can help, or want the same... let's see
Thank you anyway

thats easy....I can tell you how to do it yourself..
NOTE: an apk is just a zip file, do not decompress these, rather double click them and open them in winrar and you can see the contents.
Download the xoom theme, and there is a folder called "System App" this has the apk you want to play with. inside each apk there is a file called "res" inside this there are a few folders, the ones you are interested in are any named "drawable..." this is where all of the graphics are held.
then open the zip the rom comes in, i.e double click and winrar will open, go to system\app and find the same apk that are contained in the theme, then it is a process of swapping the files from one to the other.
when you are finished making changes, copy your edited apk back into your rom and flash it without wiping data, because it is the same rom nothing will happen apart from th4e new apk will be installed!!
Hope that helps...

Wow, great insight! Thanks MysticGenius. I had no idea the .apk's were just archives and could be opened up

yeah, this is what I love about android, you can take someone elses rom, skin the apk to your liking, even add missing applications you use regularly and just flash.
as long as you dont decompress, the signature usually stays intact.
if you need further assistance, pm me
edit : most imagery is in the drawable-mdpi folder
I just skinned the systemui.apk is 10 minutes just so you have an idea of how easy this is!!!!
I add original apk from android 2.1 to my nook, but i doesn't work. I now can't enter to setting page, wifi atc... Please if some one would be angel, and send me the true original settings.apk from Nook touch. Thanks.
Go to the B&N webpage for the 1.1.2 update: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
Download nook_1_1_2_update.zip.
It is a signed ZIP file, you can open it with 7zip, http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
(Windows can't open this directly without stripping the signature.)
Get whatever you like out of /system/app
If you aren't up to 1.1.2 yet, just do the manual update and it will fix things.
(Except that you may have to re-root.)
Thank. I try this before, but this signed zip archive get me
Install 7zip, thak to CrossOver (MAC). Extracted settings.apk. And everything work perfect. Thank you Renate!
Thread moved to general, based on the fact it's not a : mod/kernel/rom.
I write it works, but only procedure to get apk from update to phone. Settings app dont work, I can't see a icon in menu (but don't know there must to be), anyway i run setting from B&N bottom bar, nothing run. I can't event add widgets because context menu don't show. Please has some one any idea?
If you are running 1.1.2 and you put the Settings.apk out of nook_1_1_2_update.zip in, then it's the right one.
Settings.apk 971,804 bytes
Did you put it in the right place? Does it have the right permissions?
Did you kill SettingsProvider.apk too?
What does logcat say when it bombs? Give us a hint.
Yes, I have same size Settings.apk. I put it to /system/app/, permission set to rw-r--r-- .
I touch only setting.apk -SettingsProvider.apk is the same.
When I click on top bar (wifi/battery icon) restart nook, when I click on bottom B&N bar nothing shows.
Sorry i dont have terminal, and wifi home, at this time. I don't know what try...
When you click on the top bar you start: com.android.settings/.Settings_Quick
Have you tried Settings in the app drawer?
When you click on the settings icon in the app drawer you start: com.android.settings/.Settings_Root
Does everything else work?
Top bar -Quick setting (restart) -not work
Bott.bar -B&N settings button (nothing) - not work
Add widgets (nothing)-not work
NookColor Tools -All settings (No applications can perform this action)-not work
App drawer (No settings icon) - not work
Activity picker (no settings option) - not work
I try this posible accesses with and without setting.apk in /SYSTEM/APP but same result. -there is no diference if I have app or if not. I try install app "clasical" way, but I got -this app replace another existing app, after I move next app failed to install.
Why I get message (this app replace another existing app) if I don't have in my system nothing touches settings.apk?

You know that little white word bubble icon in the middle of the thinkpads status bar that you can set favorites to? How can I get rid of it? I am on a us thinkpads tablet that ha been rooted.
It's buried in a system file if you want to try to hack it & cook a new ROM for us. Wed' all be incredibly grateful!
I can provide some insight into this.
It's in the systemui.apk. I've removed the icon itself by making the images associated blank. That way i didnt have to decompile / recompile, however if you press that specific location, it'll still activate.
I can attach my hacked apk for 3.1 HC if you guys like.

I bet a lot of people would like it!
Let me get this right.... All you did was rename from .apk to .zip, unzip (assuming with 7zip), replace the graphic file, and rezip, un-rename, and it worked?
If that's the case, I'm going to try replacing all of those blasted bar graphics wherever they are with something at least grey. They burn out my eyeballs, especially when I have a screen filter on. Nandroid, here I come....
Yea, that's essential what I did. Just don't remove any of the files. You'll have to decompile and recompile for that.
I've attached my modified SystemUI.apk
rename to SystemUI.apk and push it to /system/apps/ and reboot
i recommend doing a fix permissions after pushing.
