You're going to want to grab maddoggin's stock framework-res and policy.jar. Then you can theme that framework-res.

I actually had to change alot if things to get it to work with sfr1.2 and eb resurrection.

It took forever for them to get what we have now. Nothing against the people that worked on it, just saying is was a large undertaking. I'm lovin' my puzzlez though lol

It is not enabled in framwork, the images are added in framework, but you need to edit androidpolicy.jar, but I don't know the changes that need to be made . But my problem was when I tried to theme it, even though I replaced all the correct images I still got FC's in some areas.

Haha remember back when I first released Nebula?
I had a ton o' problems! I couldn't get the menu colors to change and **** kept force closing... And you just sat there!
Kidding.
OP: Use the stock or simply blue as a template. Adding specific files would be an annoying process. Theme/add the files that you would normally be changing and whip them in with the template.
Off-topic: to Mystery, eccoce, and other themers, I am having trouble getting application icons to stick. And now my wallpaper is not sticking. Some that look good on stock don't show up on SRF. The wallpaper shows up on stock but doesn't on Frankenstein... Any idea what is causing this?

There are also xml files in the framework. What I did was build the theme just how I wanted it. After that I copied the jar file, all of the unlock images and all of the unlock xml files from simply blue. I modified some of the unlock images and that was it. Granted my theme is simple so that made it easier.

you realize I got it to work on my rom and I also got it to work on my theme. The amount if work I had to do to get it to work is alot to type.
I had to transfere xmls &pngs to a 100% stock framework-res.apk. I also had to modify other xmls and then I had to android.policy.jar.
If I am to go into details it would take me hours to write one post and it wouldn't be 100% gurante it would work for him cause then there is going to be changes he is going have to make to work with his theme cause my edits may contradict some of his.
So unless you know the full story you can just keep your mouth shut or tell him your self how you did it
Fyi: it took me 2 weeks to figure it all it and get it done on my end

Yeah, I saw what an undertaking it was. I used the existing gb puzzle theme as my base, but it slowed the gb Rom down to a crawl. Then i got a bunch of bugs to fix at work.
When I have time, I'll look at it again, cuz i want to get more into android (i.e., give back)
Thanks, all

And this is exactly the kind of answer I would say we are all looking for. It's not important how hard it is, what matters is getting pointed in the right direction on what had to be done, and to pick up from where you left it. THAT is what Open Source is all about!
I really appreciate your hard work Mystery (and more because we represent the Hub!! hahah)

To bad my response don't point in the right direction. its very vague and I'm sure 75% of what I said he already knew.
Just remember it took maddogin month to port. It took me 2 weeks to port to the rom and I just spent 4 hours last night trying to iron out more bugs
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Can do like I normally do when porting to a new firmware (ie EC05 to EF02). Decompile the jar and dex, then do a directory diff between maddoggins and your jar. I use winmerge. Then start figuring out what are the differences for the firmware, and the differences for the mod... and just copy mod differences over...

Thx. I'm busy trying to muddle through facebook documentation, atm. Not sure when I'll pick this back up, but I was planning on doing a diff on th jar.

[REQ] Gmail.apk Inverted (Black)

I've spend some time searching for a modded apk, but I've been unable to find one. From what I've read it's possible to do. (h**p://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/42629-how-invert-colors-gmail-apk-message-display-screen-3.html)
I just think it will be much more easy on the eyes and battery life with a nice black screen like the default email app.
I second this - I'm sure many devs would include this in their ROMs if it is ever created.
I think a customized version matching the black/blue touchwiz colors would be nice!
Black base with blue details. I'd use it! I can't wait for Froyo for the new Gmail though.
i really like this idea, devs we need this!!pretty please

Good luck!
If I had any clue how to edit the XMLs I'd offer to assist.
I guess some of these xmls weren't supposed to be touched. First attempt and I have no Epic for the time being. I'm doing what I can on the phone itself to avoid Odin, but that's next. I have to try another route that is showing promise. It might require a theme to work though because one way is to edit the colors in the framework that is inherited by Gmail. Once I'm back up and running I can see where I can push this.
Back up one nandroid was corrupt, the older one worked. Now I can see where I went wrong, don't expect any results tonight lol.
Here's where my two errors happened. I deleted gmail.apk with root explorer, phone did not like that. Bootlooped. I restored the nandroid backup that was corrupt. It didn't work fc everything once booted so I did a factory data reset. That fixed it to boot and run. Next I applied the modified gmail with an update zip. This crashed the phone worse. I am back up to where I was earlier today, I'm going to try a different signing method as well as making it's own update zip. If that doesn't work, the xmls won't allow me to edit so it will be up to me changing colors in the android framework.

This may help.
Are you working odex or deodex BTW?
Care to fill us in which framework files you are editing? I will play with this some tonight to, off work in 1 1/2 hours.

[REQ][Theme Port]Can this be ported to work on SyndicateROM 1.1.0?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868315
I've always been a huge fan of red & black themes. I used to run this one on my Hero and I miss it! I've tried some of the themes out for SyndicateROM, but just can't find the "right one" for me.
Apparently, this one started out as an Evo theme which was ported to the Hero. Can we take it a step further and bring it to the Epic?
I don't think I'd be the only one interested in this theme, but I've been wrong before.
Thanks for considering it!
I can try
Btw I have no experience and I don't know about work our any thing but I'll start by taking a old gb themed one and done other themes and blend/edit them together but I can't start till friday (school) so if any one wants to do it before me be my guest
Even if I'm successfully able to make it there its no guarantee it will work and you guys will have to test it for me cause I hate constant flashing

[REQ] Stock Theme with 8 Lockscreen Mod

8/9/11 - 10 PM: Since the mod itself is very deep in the framework-res code, the request has been changed to a stock theme with ONLY the 8 Lockscreen mod. At least this way, anyone who feels bold enough to overlay their own themes onto this modded base may do so.
I greatly appreciate maddoggin's on the 8 Lockscreen mod, but I just don't want to change the theme settings that I have now (plus piling themes on top of one another gave me phone problems). All I want is the mod itself, no status bars, no themes, no icon changes, just the mod.
That is, unless someone can tell me what do modify from maddoggin's initial theme to leave just the lockscreen mod.

the mod is baked into framework-res... which would make it impossible to get the mod without changing half of your theme (battery icons, notifications, window frames anything that resides in framework-res) in other words you would need to do it individually for each theme.

Does that mean that it's like the CRT mod or is the appropriate code even deeper than that? Should I just aim my request directly at maddoggin, then?
In that case how about a request for a stock theme with the lock mod, crt and overscroll.

While that solution does work for me, it may not work for someone else who desires a non-stock theme (again, layering multiple themes can cause problems which means a data wipe is needed). Ideally, maddoggin could release the code for modding framework-res so all the themers can successfully integrate it, but if worst comes to worst (and it's programming, so it often does), then I'll change the request to a modded stock theme.

He has man. Not every theme has incorporated it. The easy way to do it is to swap in your preferred images.
Cd's or tapes?
I haven't seen a code release thread anywhere for it. I did a search for it, but all I have seen is various theme threads giving credit.
So if we were to try and "snatch and replace" just the 8 ls mods...inside fr res...what would these 8..be called in the folder becaue i am dying to try...gettin bored with 6 lol?? I been puttin all kinds of themes together to get where i am now..why stop? Thanks in advance..

i dont know why people think there is "code" or "source" to be released! i understand you may want to do this your self and use how ever you want to use i truly understand that! thats how it all started for me i saw other samsung phones with this mod and told my self why doesnt the epic have it andd i requested and requested untill i just said "**** IT" imma do it myself! well you want to know how i did it! theres no damn "source" or speciail magic trick or even a guide on how to do it! i grabbed the mod from 3 different phones dude! the fascinate, galaxy 19000 and the captivate. and i searched the forums and figured out how to make it all work on our phone! thats how it was done! no source no tricks! of course i got help from the guys i dl the mods from but thats it! so im sorry the lock mod isnt exactly to your liking dude and anyone else for that matter. but if you want something done try searching around the forums and figure out how to do it yourself otherwise shut the **** up, quit whinning and be happy that have 8 damn locks to choose from at all!
I can understand your frustation Maddoggin. I don't think he intended to upset you. I think he simply would like someone to teach him what mods were necessary to implement this into a stock theme template. As you described it is a lengthy and arduos task to pull from many sources. I think he simply hopes you will share you modifications to the framework-res that implement this so that he can either create a stock theme template or someone else can. Guys please be sure to not hound our devs. We have seen enough move on to other phones. Maddoggin has every right to say no and someone can do what he did or we can simply try to persuade him to help you learn more.

I am always open to help someone out that's has never been a problem I help those who ask for help! But I won't walk you through the whole process! You WILL learn or you WILL give up! All you have to do is open up my files! You want to know the source is! The source is the s5tock files! That's the damn source! You compare my files with the stock ones and get the difference! That's the mod! What some people are asking for is for me to give them only the files needed for the mod! That's ****ing ridiculouse! That would take me more time to do than it did to make it work on our phone! There are so many files modded it would be almost impossible and in anycase this mod isn't mine to give away it belongs to the man who created it and he will be of less help than me trust me!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
When I update my files to the new leak (when a deodexed rom is posted) I will make a stock version of the mod nothing else no battery % nothing just plain stock version! That's the best I can do! Sorry for getting frustrated! But I put in allot of time making this mod work on each release and I don't get paid for it **** my wife is mad at me cause I spend more time on this mod than I do with her! Lmao! So yeah it gets frustrating when you hear someone isn't happy with your work! Sorry!

Maddoggins right... I respect this guy. He's to the point and does what he wants but he's nice if you need any help... the only reason he's pissed is because people have asked about this thousands of times in his thread and if you want it then make it.

Obviously, there are a few bugs with some of the icons at the top, but once those are fixed, it's almost drag and drop for us. (for some things...since it's not tw based, which you already know)

Qbking and I were talking about it last night on gtalk, so I thought I'd start the thread. I can probably get a good base theme built this weekend, but don't want to step on any toes.
BTW I would use EH17 as a base since a GB ota seems imminent at this time.

I've heard sdk ports are wonky. And I could imagine I went looking through the dump and the damn thing is practically empty. It has images so that people can at least at most theme the status bar, but no roaming images or anything else for that matter. So odd.
I have a feeling a more recent leaked build dump will popup soon.

Yes I completely agree, after looking through the framework and SystemUI dump its only partial at best. I was hoping to find some new ringers/ui/notifications but that was empty except for 2 files.
Did anyone notice that they had battery meter pngs in the SystemUI.apk? WTF is that about, and they still remained in the framework too... Strange...
I thought about building a theme on the NS4G but after looking at the missing pieces and stuff I decided to pass until a more complete dump is available.
Did notice many new additional pngs in the framework now to play with that we didn't have before.. Overlays, and different glows to inputs/keys... Misc here and there...
Good luck guys, post a boat load of screenies so we can see what it looks like when you have something to flash

I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

Think some of us would appreciate if you released a ROM for us flashers that looked like that. Looks sweet. I'd definitely would like to see that screen on my phone.

if u wanna change the bottom system bar, the default should be tw_status_bar_background, as shown in tw_system_bar.xml, but u can use color code if u want to

well, i have started to mod my phone with tablet ui for more than a year but still yet to release anything athough i am using it on daily basis from note -> s3 -> note2 now. however, since the updates were rolled out quite frequently in the last year, i had to switch to new firmwares and redo/rewrite the changes accordingly because there were quite a lot of fundamental changes recently. this process is time consuming especially i employed some parts of firmwares from other devices as well as the custom features i added. so, i am not sure when i can release something since i modded the kernel and the rom as well in my own way which compromises the usual practice in terms of structure and so forth. that means i have to make sure it is compatible with other roms first, and then i must ensure i have time to solve and fix users problems
