[Theme] 928Droid "Black Glass" 2.2 for Froyo - Update.zip - MetaMorph - Back to Stock

[VannMann]

I am very new to this and I got it installed the first try. Very nice job bro! I got it installed on BB v0.4 and it looks fantastic, exactly what i was wanting.

I assume you fixed your original performance issues???

BTW, please keep a list of any "oddities" you see that I need to address. I will give you a day or so and then go back in a take care of the previously mentioned issues along with any new ones you find. Will do the Battery Percentages at the same time too.

So far my list is:
Browser URL textfield oddity in "normal mode"
Clear list button (btn_square_overlay_normal.png, also shows up in other places) - change from Black Glass to Silver Glass
Battery Pecentages.

Indeed, it's working wonderfully now! personally I don't use ADW Launcher, in fact, I don't like to use launchers that have been themed anyway, but I was wondering if there's a way for me to remove ADW launcher?

and the suggestion I have for you is, if possible, can you make the battery icon Black Glass also? if not that's cool, but just a request

as for that list, I'll definitely make a list for ya, though as far as I can see you've got everything in your list already (the Browser thing doesn't affect me as I use xScope anyhow...)

**update** I used the stock Browser just to check out this orange address bar, and I gotta say, the orange actually compliments your Black Glass...the only thing is it doesn't stay orange, it seems to be only while the page is loading...

If you have Titanium Backup, or Root Explorer, removing any app is easy. I prefer using Titanium Backup to remove system apps as it seems "cleaner". Just find ADW Launcher in it, tap it and click uninstall.

Root Explorer, navigate to system/app and look for org.adw.launcher-1.apk, long press and click delete, then reboot to be sure it is cleared.

You can also do this with ADB commands...put that is a little too DOSish for me

Not sure what you mean about black glass battery Icons?? Wouldn't that just disappear on the black glass status bar??? Tell me more please.

Browser address field issue as you say is wierd, and only does it on loading. First time I have seen that behavior on any ROM. Will figure it out and fix it.

I have a nice matching Black Glass Theme for LauncherPro too, but if I recall the Launcher Chevy is using is pretty darn good and you really don't need another Launcher, actually the smoothest 3D App Drawer I have ever seen.... BUT I have gotten hooked on the backup/restore features on ADW as well as having the transparent App Drawer Background, plus other cool stuff like Black Glass App Icon presses etc.

You can thank me but sending me that hot chick in your sig pic :icon_eek:

Glad you like it!

awesome theme, really loving all the work you put into it. However, I really don't like the "Droid Does" logo on the notification bar. Is there anyway to get rid of it and have a clean look?

 

[Quie2Droid]

First off, Love it and it looks great, but, um the HTC_IME mod keyboard's not themed on mine.

Edit: After some more testing, the "Clear" button in the notifications window shade and the "Register" / "Unregister" button in the Chrome to Phone app, are both black on black.

Other than that, seems good.

Getting ready to load this them, my favorite on SS4.4. Yeah! Does it have the round battery icon or the regular one, as I like the regular one better. Thanks so much.

battery icon looks like the one from Insanely Clean

Good deal. I got it loaded up and runs great on SS4.4. Thanks Dave, this is by far my favorite theme as it seems to be the most thorough. Keep up the great work.

Download and setup the MetaMorph version on your phone, then go to SDcard/AndroidThemes/928DroidBlackGlass2-2-84b-MM/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi , edit status_bar_background.png to however you like it, then apply the Framework-res subthem with MetaMorph.

OR, copy framework-res.apk from system/app to your PC, use 7Zip to open framework-res.apk as an archive, go to res/drawable-hdpi, extract status_bar_background.png , edit to however you like it, then paste it back in the archive, close the archive and push it back to system/app

well, I don't actually like themed Launchers, I always just stick to the LauncherPro that I get from Market, it's never done me wrong, and it's faster/smoother than all the others(in my experience anyhow).

about that battery thing...I was meaning that the battery color in your theme is green, right? perhaps a darker color, a black or a dark grey...
Just an idea haha...perhaps a lighter border so that it doesn't blend in with the Black Glass Notification bar as you said earlier...

either way, that's a minor thing, just a thought. Love what you've done so far...in fact, I did enjoy your pulsar battery that you had with this theme when Froyo first came around...

If I could I would bro, lol. Is the top task bar on the desk top supposed to disappear from time to time?

That's OK, she just looks like she could be my wife's younger sister...was thinking about some Twin action..:icon_eek:

Disappearing Status Bar is a setting in ADW launcher.

Post a link to the Battery Theme you are using. Some people put the complete framework-res.apk in such themes and that messes up everything else.

If you look in the theme file it should only have 14 png files in it.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/56651-liquid-battery-icon-android.html

That's the link for it, its a metamorph file and I've tried just about everything to get it to work. If you could look at it and tell me if maybe there's something I could try it would be much appreciated

Run this update.zip with SPRecovery, rename to update.zip.

NeverEndingXsin-update.zip

Am I correct in assuming that this is the Liquid Battery icon in update.zip? Any idea if it'll work on SS4.4?
If it is liquid battery update I am willing to test it on Black Glass SS4.4.

That update is for FRF84b Based ROMs only.

You should still be able to use the Liquid Battery Metamorph to apply that to our ROM.

OH, should have a new SS 44 Black Glass update in a few... fixing Clear Button issue and Browser issue. Too antsy to do the boring Battery Images at the moment, maybe later Just finished Insanely v1.1 Black Glass port and doing CM6 Black Glass next.
