Hey bud, speaking of themes, can you fill me in on a little advice, like which ones work, or if the ones already made for this ROM still work? Thanks

Previous ones won't work b/c Mioze changed the framework of the ROM, and the old themes are missing important images (for the ring lockscreen, for example) which will cause a bootloop if used. New themes will have to be ported.

I'm starting a thread for 6.3.7 themes which I'll start porting a few, and hopefully get others to contribute!

One is already uploaded:

I do think I've discovered a little bug though. In the CM7 based ROMs, the Ring lockscreen behaves like this when you select the custom app ring (though in fjfalcon's CM7.2, it's just one app):

But CM6.3.7 does this:

(Yes, I'm running a gingerbread theme. More on that later).

Can you replicate this, Mioze?

Yes, I think the problem is the settings aren't exposed/available in CMParts here. NameLess Froyo, which is the source for the lockscreen backport, has also backported CMParts from CM7. There's one big commit that reorganized all the settings in CM7 that doesn't apply cleanly on our tree (due to local modifications)--it needs to be merged manually. I was able to just do a quick hack to allow ring to be selected and enabled for now. So were missing the part that lets us choose the 4 apps. I think the backend code for the four custom apps is already there.

Oops...help pls...I'm having a bootloop after flashing the gingerbread theme . I wipe dalvik-cache > wipe cache > flash > wipe dalvik-cache > wipe cache > reboot , is there something wrong ? lol this is my first time having bootloop what should I do ?

I don't have a tethering plan so I never try. Sorry

oh, I mean mynet.apk isn't working, use phone as a hotspot supplier.

I did some research into dioxanh's froyobread, which is the only froyo ROM with t-mobile theme engine working, but his github doesn't tell much about how he integrated the t-mobile theme engine and it would seem monumental to attempt to integrate the raw github repo into CM6. I think I'll start to learn about framework-res.apk porting...

Somehow I've managed to miss the themes-2.2_r1 branch here in my research (facepalm):

https://github.com/tmobile/themes-platform-frameworks-base/tree/themes-2.2_r1

Although, I will admit I'm becoming much, much less of a fan of the theme engine overall seeing all the bloat and overhead it entails... It would be easier/lighter to just make a menu system in OpenRecovery that backs up/installs framework-res.apk or even builds most of it from files on the sdcard using modified versions of sileshn's scripts.

Or just use metamorph...

Edit: I have almost zero interest in the theme engine anymore after looking over this code. Sorry. I'm personally "OK" having to soft/hard reboot to apply a theme.
As an alternative is to create a script/program that takes a theme engine theme as input and merges it with framework res or an update that we can use. I just don't feel the overhead of these function calls that hunt for resources all the time and the debugging that would be required to port it is worth saving a minute or so for those extremely rare occasions when you switch themes.

There is some support in Androidiani OR for flashing themes, you just have to setup the folder structure right.

I would agree. Its memory footprint is probably too large to be of worth in this ROM.

I've been looking into metamorph as I find that the themes I'm trying to port all require a lot of asset replacement in Phone, Contacts, etc. in order to create the unified look. Do you know where I could begin to write a metamorph script?

The ROM now comes in two flavors: deodex or odex. I've been releasing odex builds lately because they are more economical about diskspace, but odex ROMs are a bit of a pain for developers to modify so I'm now providing both.

HD video recording fixed (attached patch for both odex and deodex) -- another huge thanks to brianlili!
patch-cm6370-01.zip

I'll make a more detailed post early this week. I was able to just apply the 6.3.7 update on top of my 6.3.6, wipe dalvik-cache and reboot without problem.

@Mioze you might wanna update the OP with this?

It appears as if I can't delete images from media gallery. (FC's)

Anyone else notice that games such as (Angry birds in space, draw something, temple run) don't work?

Confirmed.

Haven't tried those. I did read somewhere that Milestone A853 users were having trouble with Angry Birds in Space.

I installed all those games and they works fine . Only for temple run , you got to use chainfire3d to get it works since it consumes too many ram .

Has anyone looked into why that stupid gingerbread cursor positioning widget is so minuscule compared to CM7? It's now my enemy #1. Just wondering if someone's started looking into that already.

Media gallery's fc shoud be mediaprovider.apk's problem, not match with gallery or wrong signature of mediaprovider. I met that fc before

With the use of chainfire3d, most games work now. Thanks nikctsh. And also Mioze7Ae, and what do you mean? I have the free ICS keyboard installed instead, and it's about the same size as the gingerbread one above ^^.

I'm talking about the size of the arrow thing that you can use to move the cursor or select text i.e. it's that box-with-a-hat doohickey pointing to the end of "why so small" in the screenshot. In CM6.3.7 it's about a quarter the size (by area) of the CM7 version.

just to clarify the screenshoot is from cm6x or from cm7x ?
because it's size looks normal to me...

It's from cm6x running at density=240. It probably does look normal if you're used to density=160

I'm having trouble getting a screenshot of the cursor in CM7 (the cursor keeps disappearing), I'll have to try later with ddms.

I think it's theme dependent. Here's a ddms of the ICS theme's cursor:

It looks slightly bigger.
