I usually make a custom wallpaper for my lockscreen or homescreen everytime I switch a rom but so far they are pretty elementary mostly because I have no idea what the hell I am doing lol. I am on a mac so I am working in GIMP but I have a few things I cant figure out. I am uploading a picture of what I have so far. I would like the black areas around the pictures to be semi-transparent and the edges of the pictures themselves to be rounded slightly to give it a smoother feel. I will upload the individual pictures also. I would much rather learn to do it myself but I understand if for whatever reason no one wants to show me. Believe me its not the end of the world. Just something I like to have so when I pull my phone out at work I can see my family. That is me, my wife, and daughter,by the way. ....oh I also wanted a small slightly-less transparent box around the time and smaller but proportional boxes around the sprint and date. I know its alot but I got this image in my head of the perfect lockscreen and not a clue on how to get it to the phone lol.
oh and the reason I posted this in CDMA and not themes and applications was because I wasnt sure if to get the transparency it would have to be update.zip style and I wasnt sure if it made a difference if the phone it was being flashed on was CDMA or GSM. Oh and I am on modaco 2.0
I've got the photo shop experience for this, but I can't seem to find the images in com.htc.resources.apk or lockscreen.apk that need to be edited. If you can point out which images control the lock screen, I will help you with this.
I'll write a quick how to later when I have a linux box/gimp at my hands.
I was just looking into this myself. I know that any overlays are a file known as lockscreen.topedge. I am not good with Photo shop so I havent tried but I downloaded a lockscreen and extracted the .apk and found that image to be the overlay. You could create a picture and use the wand function to single out the background, add transparency to it. I wish i had to the time to mess around with it but work isnt the place unfortunately.

I wish work wasn't the place for this kind of stuff
Well it would be if i owned a laptop. Lol Hopefully I can dig in tonight or tomorrow and see what I can do.
The 1st part of what u need I can probably help with, u want the black background semi transparent and the pictures of you and your family rounded a bit correct? That's what I understood from there. The second part I'm not so sure of still
I see in gimp that there is a menu layer ->transparency but I cant see how to make certain regions transparent and if I try to make the whole image semi transparent I do not know how to preserve that transparency through saving, transferring and applying the image to the phone. I figured it would be better off as an overlay as NOJs lockscreens are but I am unexperienced in update.zip and how to sign and package them. I could push them via adb but I am not sure where to push overlay images to the lockscreen. Thanks for all of the help yall are giving me I really appreciate it. This stuff can get frustrating nice to have helpful people in the community.
I am not sure if you are willing to pay a few bucks for it, but i know that Noj is taking requests for custom locksreens for a small donation.
You can find Noj's custom lockscreen request @ Flipz's GeekFor.Me HERE
p.s. I would love to see someone write a quick tutorial on which files need to be edited to make our own lockscreens.
Im really hoping to learn how to do it myself I'll go broke as much as I change the pictures on my lockscreen(about twice a week) lol
The reason you are having issues is due to you probably not following a correct workpath in PShop/GIMP. Use layers/masks/etc.
really he would make u pay money for a little project -___-, well since i dont work today let me take a shot @ this, ill post up what i done later

I stumbled coincidentally in this thread. I wrote a tut for Desire HD recently, since this mod is one of the easiest around anyway. This should answer all your questions.

I've searched and googled and found that the animation on our flipclock has been disabled in an update. Surely one of the geniuses at this site can figure out how to reanimate it? I don't mind the lag on my homescreen, and I'd love to have a flip clock that actually, uh, flips!
Also, are there any widgets that act as a simple scrollable dock? Like a 1x4 transparent box that you can add shortcuts to and scroll through them, like BetterHome? I don't much care for BetterHome's lack of widgets, so I bounce back and forth between HTC Sense and PandaHome. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a ton.
i would love to c that
Trust me iv'e have a poll up on MoDaCo and even raised it in numerous posts on here, no one seems bothered about it. I'm confident someone here could get the animation working, but i don't think they want too :/
if you guys could be bothered to search you might have found one of the at least four threads about the flip clock animation. and i think the outcome is pretty clear: if you want flip clock go back to an old rom that still had it.
i don't think it is that easy to port apps (esp. those from htc, that are not part of the AOSP) to a newer rom version. i am sure if it was someone would have done it, as there were lots of requests for this.
and if it is that easy, why don't you do it yourself?

Thanks for pointing that out but alot of Devs on here have achieved a lot so we assumed it could be done.
I was just wondering if any themer out there could make a simple black bar for eclairOG v1.11(preferrably somewhat glossy) with a round battery icon (used in MAT-Theme, I believe its made by kspec?)
A lot of people have been asking for a black bar in the thread so I figured id try to get a themer's attention. Thank you!
To make things easier for the theme devs heres the link to the ROM
EclairOG:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620673
and this is the theme that contains the notification bar and battery icon, id like. Thanks!
MAT-Theme:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5139150#post5139150
heres a screenshot of it:
OOhhh yes...Desperatly waiting for this
i am too, I really want it. i have really basic knowledge about theming, ive been trying to get it done myself, but all i get are bootloops...lol
I really hope someone does this haha. or a full sense/hero theme for eclair

Id be happy enough with just the black bar. I managed to modify the framework-res.apk a lil bit but all it flashed was the battery, pulldown menu and the lil network icons, but the bar still comes up white even though i used the black images from the MAT theme, eclair is so much different than donut when it comes to theming, im not asking for much, just the black bar so hopefully someone will do it, because a ton of people are asking for it on the ROMs thread.

I haven't tested it. I really don't feel like spending the 30 minutes or so to set my unused G1(s) up to test it out, so nandroid before trying it.
It has the pull down, notification bar icons, and status bar from the MAT theme (all credit to the creators of the images used).
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/simple_black_bar.zip
There are the images I used for it along with the steps I used for colorChangev3.jar based on what the images looked like.
You have to change statusbar_background.png to statusbar_background.9.png for the status bar to show up black.

you sir, are EPIC! thank you so much for taking the time to make this! I flashed it, only the text turns white, but i found out why. In 2.1 roms, the system icons are no longer located in drawable. theyve been moved to drawable-mdpi. so i think if i move your images to mdpi itll work. ah, i didnt realize that statusbar_background had to be converted to a 9.png. Thanks this has been a great learning experience for me. Ive been fumbling around with the files and images all day and all of last night trying to get it to work. I think i can fix it myself. when I do finish, ill post it here and credit you and the original themer for MAT. Thank you very very much!

[BlackBar Mod - eclairOG1.0-1.2]
I DO NOT take any credit for this.
The notification bar is from MAT Theme made by matata86
and was ported over to eclairOG by david1171
UPDATED!!!! - I found some files that were in the wrong folder, and 3 images that were missing. I moved and restored the proper files into the right places. GTalk no longer force closes, no slowdown, nothing. Everything should run fine now!
Screenshots:
Installation:
-Make sure you have no widgets on any of your home screens before flashing
-Boot into Recovery and flash normally as you would any other theme
-No Need to Wipe anything (If you really really wanna be safe, wipe dalvik, but you shouldnt need to)
DOWNLOAD HERE!!!
Oh, and i might make a couple more versions and use battery icons from other themes on xda. Thanks again david1171 for porting the black bar to eclairOG!
Nice work.
love that battery icon...
Just flashed it and running good so far
EDIT: Got the feeling, that it slows down the phone a bit...
Does your Beautiful weather widget has a transparent background?

no its just the normal semi transparent gradient black background, but because theres a black wallpaper behind it, it looks almost invisible.

Oh well, I was going to PM you for it. I think I know how to make it transparent, but I think the application needs to be resigned after replacing PNGs coz it didn't install. I tried signing made easy, but couldn't figure out how to make update-script.

yeah it needs to be resigned. I use stericsons autosign.bat file.
Check out the zip file i attached and look in META-INF < com < google < android < update-script and open it with Wordpad and you should get an idea of those work. theyre very simple. im not at my comp right now so i cant explain much about them right now.
and to anyone having problems with the black bar, ill see if i can find anything wrong with it and fix it.
Maybe what I am trying to do hasn't been attempted before but I'm stuck and hopefully, someone here is talented enough to help.
I am trying to change the background color of the LauncherProPlus widgets. It is clearly not an image in the res folder and I have been scouring the XML's to see what is driving the color to no avail. Does anyone know where I might have missed or where else to look? I'm thinking maybe I need to start looking through the smali files but would love if someone could provide a little direction.
Thanks.

I am familiar with Benny879 as well as that thread and he hasn't been able to find what controls the background either. He posted that theme on the LauncherPro forums and I installed it optimistic that the background would be black but it is not the case. The image on his sight is a bit deceiving due to the background color but is actually a gray gradient.
So, I'm still searching...

Yup, that's it. Make sure you decompile with Brut's apktool.
Awesome! Thanks to both of you. I had started to go through the smali files last night after having tried every remotely relevant XML.
I'll give it a shot this morning and post back my results. I haven't used Brut's APKTool but use APKManager which I believe is simply a script that utilizes the APKTool.
Actually, I take it back. It appears Signals23 has already accomplished and made available everything I was trying to do which was to make the background black.
So, I'll simply say thank you again, install his masterpiece, and pretend I'm the man.

In my last theme of the LP0.7.7.2, I added a png to the background, that way you have control over the whole thing. If you want to mess with that, let me know and I'll post instructions.

Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...

Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial
to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn
You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial
Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?

Is there certain parts of Themes that you should not try to copy over to other themes?
are most APK's ok to copy from one theme to another? I have many themes that i really like alot and then i found some areas of one theme i like but would like this or that from another. But overall i give you all alot of credit as you all do some amazing work!!!! THank you all
