The Great Sapphire Theme Off! - 0.6.2

[wingdo]

I'm also having some trouble installing BE. I tried several times before reapplying the stock theme, then downloaded and reinstalled Stock, followed by trying again to install BE, but no luck. Recovery tells me each time that the installation was successful, but no dice. I've wiped cache before each attempt, also.

Any thoughts?

You're running the P3 kernel from the Sapphire page. It has dev code in it and fills your /system so you cannot theme. That's my one thought.

Heck that makes sense. i just re flashed 6.2 totally. When I should have tried the stock kernel.

No problems installing Blue Energy on 0.6.2 with the oversized kernel. Granted I've deleted all of the stock wallpapers and ringtones I don't use.

that could have made enough room for the themeing process to work, and that's why it worked for you.

The P3 kernel was it indeed; when I reflashed and applied the theme second, it worked like a champ.

Thanks!

Hey Tank I was just wondering how the nextheme was comming along.

I've been trying to ask a few people some questions, with no results. So it really hasn't gotten nowhere.

Where are the wallpapers and how did you delete them, I was wondering because I wanted to try and take one from another rom and put it into this one but I couldnt find them using root explorer, Im guessing its somewhere in the /system?

They're in the Launcher2.apk under /system/app. You can use adb to pull the apk to your computer or use astro or root explorer and copy it to your sd card and move it to your computer.

Rename it to Launcher2.zip and open it
Go into res/drawable-hdpi and if you scroll down, you'll see files called wallpaper_(name).jpg. Those are the wallapers and there are two files for each so you'll see wallpaper_(name).jpg and wallpaper_(name)_small.jpg where the latter is just a thumbnail.

For the wallpaper I got from the Kangerade rom, I just renamed it to wallpaper_bluedotgrid.jpg and wallpaper_bluedotgrid_small.jpg and copied the files over the existing ones in Sapphire. Deleted the remaining wallpapers, renamed the launcher back to Launcher2.apk and pushed it back to /system/app.

Launcher2.apk decreased from ~4.6MB to about 1.4MB with the 3 wallpapers I added.

Below is the guide I used also.

Thought I would make an attempt at themeing. This is my first attempt so any suggestions/bugs or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is for clockwork since it's what I have the most experience with. If someone wants to make a SPRecovery zip that would be great, I'm not experienced in making one.

Includes:
-Framework
-Settings
-Launcher2
-Browser
-Mms
-Market
-Phone and Contacts
-News and Weather widget
-Facebook
-YouTube

*Please make a backup before attempting to install*

A wipe shouldn't be necessary but I would suggest installing over the stock theme.
