[THEME] Minimal Matte ! FOR GALAXY S!

I have ported the famous theme, Minimal Matte onto our galaxy s.
it is orignally designed for the android 2.2 froyo and have ported it to android 2.1 (near abouts). It isnt exactly the minimal matte but is most like . screens are below.
Orignal Concept by: shiftedx
BUT made by : webstar1
Includes:
*Full Framework
*Launcher Pro (Themed)
*Geniewidget
*Skinned Swype QWERTY Keypad
* and more!
If you like it, please support me by donating below, ill be doing more ports and maybe even a custom rom .
Tested on a European JH1 Firmware with root
Download
Donate
EDIT: Ok so people are having problems flashing this:
The way i did it:
Downloaded Minimal Matte by webstar 1 directly to my phone
booted clockworkmod recovery and chose install zip not apply update.zip
then navigated to download/minimal matte
once its installed rebooted and voila, its worked.
im using a JH1 with root access.
make a nandroid backup before applying.
ive flashed this 5 times now and have had no problems
Just in case, THIS IS FOR ANDROID 2.1 not 2.2
EDIT: I forgot you also need a deodexed rom, here are some to flash:
Doc's RomMod
MoDaCo Custom Rom

Yup, ur free to post themed free apps (unless the developer has issues with it). But paid is always a No.

Btw:
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
just flash it with clockwork mod recovery or rename to update.zip and flash in backup mode (vol up+home+power when phone is turned off)

i get error applying the it via stock recovery
will try it with clockwork recovery
i am using clean jh1 with root
thanks anyway
*strange thing works through clockwork recovery

Black screen when rebooting. Forced to reflash in JM1new through ODIN.
What I do:
Downloaded Minimal-Matte-By_Webstar1.zip
Renamed it update.zip
Placed at the root of the SD
Launched clockwork mod from Rom manager
Apply update.zip
Reboot
Black screen! -> Reflash in JM1new + backup
What I do was the right approach? This is the first time I try to install a theme.

I don't know then whats wrong.I'll flash this on a stock jm1 and see what happens.
Try using theme porter to port the theme.

I know what might of happened, I have removed the bootscreen of samsung galaxy s where the S is made by tiny dots fusing. Basically if you flash this, I think it might wipe the boot screen as well so after flashing this, let the phone work for 10 minuets and the phone should definatley launch. You can get the bootscreen back by installing ryanz one click lag fix and the app had an option to restore bootscreen. Do that then uninstall app.
Try again but give phone time to work

Hi, sorry for my english i'm french
I waited for at least 30 minutes during the black screen but nothing happened. The black screen occurs after the animated galaxy S logo. The menu and return keys are lit during the black screen if I press them.

Has this worked for anyone at all
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

So was this theory proven correct?

I tried three times but it never worked (black screen). The last time I tried with a fresh installation: install the JM1new, root, installed rom manager, flashed clockwork mod, installed thre theme. Result still the same...

Use theme porter and see if it works
I think u must have a deodexed rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

it worked for me with clockwork recovery
here are the steps i did
1. download I9000TGYJH1
2. download root/busybox @samdroid
3. flash I9000TGYJH1 with repartition
4. apply root
5. install clockwork recovery
6. download this rom
7.flash it with clockwork recovery
so you dont need a deoxed rom...
my guess is that it needs a jh1 rom

Launcher Pro uses an activation method to enable plus, you can include it freely.

[Q] menu unlocks vanilla lockscreen on rooted stock rom

this is frustrating. I have the newest stock HTC rom rooted (3.29.651.5) and i deleted HtcLockScreen.apk so i could go back to AOSP lock screen. now if i hit menu it unlocks the screen. ive searched a lot and there seem to be fixes for 2.1 but i cant really seem to find a recent fix for 2.2. i went through my framework-res.apk and cant find any xml files that i would need to edit. i also have custom icons and other pngs in my framework res that i dont want to lose by flashing a .zip.
does anyone know what xml (where it is located) that i have to edit to disable menu unlock?

i asked in the cyanogenmod irc rooms and they linked me to http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/dc138a8865bd34163cfefd32b1e89c27788e5538/core/res/res/values/config.xml where they told me i had to compile that. im not sure how to, any one have any clues?

Not certain but it seems flipzmode had a method for this or a script maybe.

i saw a zip file to flash, but i have mod's to my phone that it would change so i was wondering how i would do it without touching anything else on the phone

[Q][SOLVED] Market 2.3

I know people have been having issues getting this to work on cm6, I found a method that ALMOST works if someone can help me expand on this.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone being s-on, so it couldn't upgrade properly, so I force removed the existing market app via titanium with the recovery exploit that it uses with s-on phones, and then installed it through the app manager like I would any other app. It took a long time but it eventually installed, but the glitches were so extensive it was unusable. It opens the app, and displays the UI elements fine, but if you do anything aside from navigate and search, it force closes. If you try to open an app's link up, it force closes. Attempting to go to "my apps" force closes it.
I was thinking maybe it either had something to do with the fact that it needs the old market to update to the new one, like it's an update patch, not a full app. The other thing I was thinking was that it wasn't working because it installed to /data/app, like a user app, not to /system/app like the normal market.
Would it work to adb install or adb push the apk to /system/app rather than install it as a user app do you think? I would really love to get the new market working on cm6.
SOLUTION:
All thanks to KCRic; he has posted the flashable zips for the new market, which I re-attached in the OP.

There you go, just flash them through clockwork recovery, they should work just fine.

I'm on cm6.1 and used the recovery zip file that is floating around and installed and use it with no problems at all

You don't even need the recovery zip. It works perfectly fine just installing manually.
While in recovery just plug your phone in, go into adb shell and install it from there.
"cp (Location of app) /system/app/"
IE for me I put "cp /sdcard/download/android_market.apk /system/app/" and it worked.
I didn't do anything to the original market.

All I did was apply any zip from sdcard in clockwork..no adb needed

If you renamed the apk to a zip, you're doing it wrong.
If you downloaded the update zip containing the apk, it's wherever you downloaded it.

Its in the them and app section under new market app..
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Yeah I never found a flashable zip, I just found an apk in the apps section. Which doesn't work. If someone could post a link to the flashable zip that'd be cool. I don't have access to a USB cable right now so adb isn't a very good option haha.
Edit: nevermind, found it on the second page of the thread, here's the direct link to the zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?w7hcd0uadlndnwd, it works great, no more force closes everywhere like I was getting before

I found a flashable zip from a diff source so problem solved. But how do you change a .apk to a .zip if not simply renaming?

You have to create an update package with the apk inside zip_file.zip/system/app/apk.apk and you have to put an update script into meta-inf/android/blah blah blah, google it, I've forgotten, only had to do it once, I'm sure there's a tutorial out there if someone here can't directly answer you

here you go how to make a flashable package

Here you go, this should work - feel free to post in the OP if it's useful to anyone still trying to install it.
I'm going to remove all the hdpi files from the apk (since we don't need them, it will save space) and poat that version up in a bit. I'll test it first to make sure it will still work.
Added 'tiny' market install zip
For those that don't know, you go into clockwork recovery - select 'install zip from sdcard' - find the zip and install it. Reboot and enjoy.

Ok, sounds good. I'm testing the 'tiny' version now and I'll update that post with the file if it works. Removing the files didn't drop the size much (~0.3MB) but smaller is still always better.
EDIT: Added tiny zip to that post, work flawlessly

Edited the OP, included info, should all be good to go
Also, would this market work on eclair? The version is 2.2.6 so I'm thinking not, since it has froyo elements like auto app update, etc.
Edit: shortly after I installed cr_mod the market auto updated, but it did so to version 2.2.7, not 2.2.6. So yes, the new market does work on eclair, with auto updating. Kickass. If you'd all like I can pull the apk from my phone and post it if no one has it? Although aside from cm users everyone should be getting updated, I think.

I have no idea, but honestly I'm thrilled to have the new market AND auto update functionality on eclair. It was also nice that I didn't even have to flash anything, it updated itself. I had heard that the auto update worked fine with sense ROMs, only people running CM were having issues. You're probably right, it's probably an edited version for eclair. But cr_mod still has gmail v1, I really wish I could get version 2.3 :/ old gmail sucks. I'm going to try and just pull the apk and upgrade it with an app manager from one of the gapps packages, but I'm not sure, since google apps on sense roms is different.

Well stock android will generally always work on sense roms, just not the other way around. The issue you may run into are differences in os versions (2.1 vs 2.2.1). But with gapps it's usually not an issue, at least not yet since the versions aren't too far apart.

I actually googled around a bit, the gmail that's in the market, which is 2.3 at the moment, and before that 2.2.1, only shows up on froyo, since that's all it works on. Eclair and below are all stuck with version 1 :/
I'm pretty sure HTC loads gapps in a different way because there is actually a googleapps.apk or gapps.apk in /system/app, the flashable package just has all of the apks. I tried to open the flashable zip with astro and browse to gmail.apk and see if it would upgrade but it wouldn't parse the package. I could TRY flashing the eclair gapps and see if that works, but I'll definitely do a nandroid first. I guess I'll try that and post back.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****

Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed

will try thanks

said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav

MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

Custom transition animations!! (REQUIRES ROOT)

okay so i dont really like sense's transition animations so i started searching for some new ones and came up with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920024
decided to share it with the G2/DZ community cause i know some of you guys dont like sense transitions either
im using virtous unity, i dont see why it woudnt work on any other rom
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS just so if you want the original transitions back or if anything goes wrong or if your rom is not compatible etc
i recommend using the metamorph method, its way easier
for those who arent familiar with metamorph u can dl it for free on the market and do the following:
1-download the transition youd like from here :
https://bitly.com/bundles/haxzamatic/1?preview=1
2-place the zip in the root of the sdcard (or any other folder you want)
3-open metamorph and select Unzip/Extract new theme
4-go to the root of your sdcard or the folder you made and select the zip
metamorph will extract the zip and a new window will pop up select close (pretty much your only choice)
5- tap where it says SubTheme: framework-res.apk
Located in /system/framework/
(Requires Reboot)
your device will reboot and there you have it new transitions!!
im using the fold ones myself and they look amazing!!
