[THEME] Darkstar v0.3

[Guest liquid_it]

I'll see what I can do (any suggestion is appreciated ;) ).

This is what I did to my Contacts.apk. I think keypad buttons should play nice with darkstar theme, if you like it I'll pm you the pngs

[Guest petoulachi]

this dialer is very nice !

[Guest drigerott]

Hint - status_bar.xml, services.jar

i did it.... i mod service.jar for white clock

and status_bar.xml (date and notification) for white notification, but date is still invisible (black on black i think)

That's exactly what I had in mind. Unfortunately my artistic skills weren't up to the task ;)

First post updated with 2.000.16 version. I'm trying to find an easy way to support different roms/dialer skins... will see.

drigerott, it seems to me that your services.jar file is missing white "date" color...

to do that you need to modify StatusBarService.smali :

search for "mDateView:Lcom/Android/server/status/DateView"

iput-object v7, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->mDateView:Lcom/android/server/status/DateView; 


.line 283

and change to

iput-object v7, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->mDateView:Lcom/android/server/status/DateView; 

	const v8, 0xffffffff 


	invoke-virtual {v7, v8}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V 


.line 283

[Guest drigerott]

loom29 i got a problem ;)

i created a theme...the .thm and .zip file has the same name....but metamorph say that invalid theme file or cannot be read.....but if i extract myself the .zip and choose .thm file with metamorph all works....

sure..

assuming you correctly installed java sdk and android sdk:

1. Download baksmali-1.1.jar and smali-1.1.jar from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ and put them in your AndroidSDK\tools folder
   
2. Open the services.jar file using, for example, winrar, and extract classes.dex file to your AndroidSDK\tools folder
   
3. From the command prompt, go to your AndroidSDK\tools folder and run: java -jar baksmali-1.1.jar -o outputdir/ classes.dex
   
4. Now inside outputdir folder you'll find the deodexed files
   
5. After editing, run java -Xmx512M -jar smali-1.1.jar outputdir/ -o newclasses.dex
   
6. Rename newclasses.dex to classes.dex and replace the original classes.dex file in services.jar
   

[Guest bais]

I wonder, can we install any metamorph theme this way as long as the resolution is WVGA? Or does it only works on some devices?

[Guest Piter1225]

No, Acer made some changes in apk's, so location of some files must be changed. Also there is no other WVGA device with android 1.6

[Guest krumbalu]

argh so that's the reason why i can't theme the launcher successfully
