Hey everyone, I've been working on a new rom for the Zio M6000. I'm starting from the stock rom and giving it a gingerbread look. This isn't just going to be a theme, I am working on adding parts of 2.3.3 into the stock rom.
I am working on getting rid of all the stock orange glow and changing it to a nice green. I'm aiming for a complete gingerbread experience, I've added multiple tweaks and have tested them for a while and this is turning out pretty nice so far. I was just wondering if there was anyone that has experience in graphics that could help speed up the process of this project?

What exactly do you need? I am pretty good with PS
I need every orange highlight needs to be green. The whole UI needs to be re-worked. The stock services.jar needs the Roaming indicator taken out, the time needs to be changed to the same shade of green as the rest of the rom.

Thanks. Where can I change the time color, I need to change it to A0E000 to match the rest of the icons.
This rom is going to take some work since a lot of apks need some graphic work to get all notification icons match the theme.
I've already started working on Settings.apk and added a new option under wireless networks then mobile networks... now there is a dormancy timer but I have no clue what it does.

It's not in framework-res.apk? I believe the dormancy timer is how long of a 'no communication' period it takes before you stop sending data packets to whatever you're doing. After it goes dormant, you have to re-ping, re-connect, etc.

My time only changed colors after flashing the openzio services.jar
And the dormancy timer isn't sticking, is there something that should be in the build.prop that will make it stick?

Not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't think editing these values holds much worth as far as battery life, though. We're talking minutes of battery life per charge, and editing them any lower could lead to increased data usage which isn't really a problem because of the ability to remove the throttling services), but will also lead to longer page-load times, all due to having to constantly reconnect to the server (I'm under the assumption that it's measured in seconds).

If you could remove the roaming indicator and make the time green like everything else that would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind on the green color, just make the time white if you can.

Are you basically just theming the stock cricket 2.2.1 rom to look like Sense 2.1?
O.O
I can do that EASY bro! Except I won't be able to complete the lock screen. May I help?
EDIT: What I'll need is a 2.1 sense rom with our phones resolution and I the rom's dev's permission to use it's images for a theme. From there on I can easily un-pack the .apk/.jar/etc files and replace the images and also edit some xml files and BOOM! There's "froyobread"
So is this a usable Rom?

How is this project coming along so far Mattix? I'm really looking forward on seeing this new rom.

If you need some help I am more than willing to collaborate. I can hit you up on openzio.
Sounds good. I'll be working on it extensively tomorrow (sunday).
An added note on the UOT Kitchen -- Our statusbars are .9 png files, and UOT converts them to standard png's. Im assuming this is causing the force closes (but I havent looked at the any of the xml files yet). Im going to pick it apart tomorrow.
Well I have been playing with this for a while, and have decided to open a thread so that those who are using it can make suggestions and so I can stop cluttering other threads with post. This started off as just some fun, it is based on 2 different themes, Android 3.0 and Mambo's theme (I forget the name at the moment). I held off on making a thread till I had made enough changes that I am comfortable saying it is my own. This is very much a work in progress, and I am picking up this theme thing as I go allong. To those this may be of interest, enjoy.
To apply download mtz. Go to theme manager, hit menu, import, navigate to hy5.mtz, select, apply.

Looks like the first one you put up (the one without the extention) was actually 5.4.
When I went into Theme Manager after downloading it I saw that the thumbnail was titled "5.4". I thought that maybe it was just a typo and installed anyway.
I just installed the newer one (with the extention) and all is working now.
Awesome theme for an awesome ROM. They just need to fix the black on black text on some of the popups.
Good work.

Is there a way to get a Gingerbread style theme or ROM developed for the cricKet Sanyo Zio by Kyocera? I've used Spz0's OpenZio ROM and liked it very much. But now I am looking for a ROM to be developed or a theme to be made to make the notification bar and menu style look like Gingerbread.
Is there anyway to do this?
P.S. I would have posted in the Android Development section but it wouldn't let me.
I can whip one up tonight

I've been working on decompiling the services.jar to fix an issue with the time not showing on black status bars. Now instead of black on black I have a lovely red time and still can't see incoming notifications on the status bar.

My Theme for Zio
Mattix,
I have made a theme using UOT Kitchen as you suggested but am having a little bit of a problem.
Everytime I apply a theme the status bar changes to black but the clock still remains black color too. Is there anyway to make it white so I can actually see the time when applying my theme or any themes I make using UOT Kitchen?
Is this variable in framework-res.apk?
Post it anyways ^_^ I use fancy widgets for my time lol

I preferred the display in BO 1.1 and was wondering if I can change just that piece easily?
If you have Rom Toolbox you can use the icon changer. There are a few different battery icons to choose from. I've used some of them on the Revolution. Just be sure to use the ones that have 1 percent increments, not 10 or 20.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
any way to do it with just taking the file from another ROM and inserting into the current? similar to changing boot animations?
No. You have to edit the framework.apk. if you can get a copy of the framework.apk and the systemui.apk, then you can use uot kitchen. Just search xda and Google to find all the info you need

Awesome, no I don't. I noticed some people prefer the right align but I couldn't care less. I just really liked the accurate battery circle display from BO1.1 because it was easier for me to read and I liked the way it looked.
I almost have it ready to post, I'm just having a weird issue with the new icons being squished because they are wider than the icons in 2.0. I'm playing with some values, but I should have it posted by tonight.
