Dinik, of course. sonnysekhon for answering a ton of questions on CWM theming. theimpaler747 for again answering questions and helping out a bunch with getting my feet wet. Kameirus for testing. the devs behind apktool and apkmanager - really made life easier! A ton of artists for their icons; I wish I had kept a list of all the people's work I use, but I didn't but thanks!

A very large thank you to david1171 for heading all of my questions; truly nice and willing to help out!

I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I do. If you are using it, hit the thanks (or buy me a cup of coffee) and feel free to rate the thread. Please ask permission before using my work elsewhere. And thanks for stopping by! Cheers. -jsm

v9 [3 October 2011]
Note, bold means what is new in this version. This is not an exhaustive list as I tend to forget to keep track sometimes!

v3 of Lockscreen includes the following:
- Fully skinned lockscreen with alarm clock and charging icons added
- 6 different options - round, square small (72) and large (96). then you can choose whether to have the sms or email icon (which corresponds to the messaging icon)

Can you include XXXXX app in the theme?
As stated in post 1, most likely yes. Simply tell me the app name (ideally, the package name from the AndroidManifest from the decompiled apk.) And better, tell me where to download it or upload the apk.

Can all apps be included in Anastasdroid?
Most, but not all. If the package name includes a capital letter I cannot compile the theme apk. Example, amazons app's package name is: com_amazon_mShop_android. The "S" disallows me to compile the Anastasdroid.apk. Am working on a work-around now, but will see!

Does Anastasdroid change my wallpaper or system colors?
No. It only replaces icons.

Does Anastasdroid install all the programs?
No. It only edits the images.

Can I change themes without losing Anastasdroid?
Yes, using Theme Chooser, you can switch all sorts of themes without losing anything.

My USB debugging icon doesn't change in the pull-down menu. Why?
Yep. Known error with this theme engine; don't know how to fix it right now.

Can I make my own theme?
Sure. Start reading this thread.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
Of course.

Donate button in my sig...appreciated, but, of course, never expected.

======================================
Transparent StatusBar for CM7
======================================

Note: This is a reposting of ZduneX25's work found HERE and from his MIUI thread HERE.

All credit goes to him and the other developers.
Please take a second to thank him!

ZduneX25 has a quick and easy app on his website to do all the below. I couldn't get it to work (all my fault) so I did each step by hand. This is what I did (Zdune's instructions with a little extra by me!) It worked for me, but as with everything no guarantees for anyone else!

======================================
Transparent StatusBar for CM7 Repository
======================================

DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!
These are CWM flashable zips that have been tested and work for their specific rom. They only work for there intended rom and device; they will not likely work across devices/roms. By flashing this you are having fun, and know that you may have to restore things if something goes wrong (or flash the undo file.)

1- HD2 - TyphooN Rom
TyphooN 3.5.6
TyphooN 3.5.6 UNDO

======================================
Before We Begin
======================================

DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!
1- My launcher (ADW Launcher - standard in CM7) did not work with this transparency modification. I needed to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper found DOWNLOAD HERE.
2- Install APKTool - http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
If you are having troubles with installing APKTool read the following thread: http://www.miui-au.com/add-ons/apktool/
3- Download and have ready APKManager: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701
4- Install Notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

======================================
STEP 1: Editing SystemUI.apk for Transparency
======================================

DO A NANDBACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNRED
1- Download framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your rom (just pull them out of the zip)
2- Copy to your APKTool folder (/Windows)
3- Open CMD Window (Shift + Right Click) and type:

Code:

apktool if framework-res.apk

then

Code:

apktool d -f SystemUI.apk

4- Open the new SystemUI folder (from this original post) and browse to the folder smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/ and open the file StatusBarService.smali in Notepad++
5- Search for:

Code:

invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

directly above it you will find

Code:

const/4 v5, 0x2

replace it with

Code:

const/4 v5, -0x3

6- Now go to /res/layout/status_bar.xml, open it in Notepad++ and search for:

Code:

com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView

Replace the entire line with:

Code:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background2" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

7- Download the follwing zip, extract the "statusbar_background2.9.png" and place in /WINDOWS/SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi (yes you can edit this; mine is 100% black): DOWNLOAD statusbar_background2.9.png.zip
8- Open CMD window and type:

Code:

apktool b -f SystemUI SystemUInew.apk

9- Find SystemUInew.apk, rename to SystemUI.apk and place in folder "place-apk-here-for-signing" in APKManager
10- Run APKManager and sign (option 16)
11- If you don't want to use APKManager, you can use drag2sign
12- Install to internal memory (/system/app). I did this by making a flashable CWM zip though there are lost of ways to do this (again, this works for me, do as you see fit!)
13- Steps 6 and 7 are optional. In my opinion they make the drop down menu look better (otherwise it is half transparent). From ZduneX25, not my own creation. You can always make it both ways and give it a look.

======================================
STEP 2: Making a CWM Flashable Zip
======================================

1- Download, extract the META-INF and system folders to a new location: Download BLANK CMW Flashable zip
2- Place your (new and edited) apk just as it appears in your rom. For SystemUI.apk, place it in /system/app
2a- NOTE: YOU CAN DO THIS TO MAKE A BACKUP TOO!!! Simply use the original (non-edited) SystemUI.apk!
3- Edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script in Notepad++ - you can change the ui_print to fit your theme
4- Zip up META-INF and system folder (highlight both folders, right click and add to zip). Transfer to your phone.
5- Enter CWM and flash

======================================
OPTIONAL STEP 1: THE FOLLOWING IS FOR NON-ANASTASDROID USERS - MAKING YOUR THEME TRANSPARENT
======================================

The above changes to SystemUI.apk do the set up for transparency. Now you need to make your theme transparent too (this is done in Anastasdroid fo your - so if you install Anastasdroid, you can ignore the following steps.)
The native file is black, so your statusbar background will be black unless you change it!
1- Simply put you need to edit the com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.9.png per regular ways
2- What I did - substituted com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.9.png for com_android_systemui_statusbar_background.png that is 480x38px. (The xml redirecting in your theme is the same for both files as the ".9.png" is ommitted.)
3- My file: com_android_systemui_statusbar.png.zip

Doesn't change the keyboard at all so whatever you have won't be touched. Just changes the launcher icons and sysbar really.

Cheers.

Anastasdroid v2 [17 April 2011]

Some Screens

...

Change Log:
- about depth, not breadth: goal is to start making system files more consistent. eventually will go through each apk and make the ic_menu images all in the same style.
- fixed preview (now with image!) - let me know if this causes problems (shouldn't, but rumor has it that some devices may not like this...will see!)
- updated home page settings (on my phone - granted a WM phone running android, is the start menu button)
- updated settings
- updated sms/mms settings
- updated all framework-sys (70+ images!)
- updated all system_ui
- updated widget icons
- updated home shortcut icons
- updated launcer actions
- updated CM7 notification power widget - widget style, a la my CHT-S themes
- other minor stuff

For v3 (in the works)
- plan to finish up phone, gmail, other apks!
- work on metamorph for lockscreen (have the images, need to make the morph)

Update Installation
1- Download newest Anastasdroid_RC_v#.apk and place on sdcard
Click to download Anastasdroid RC v2
2- Theme Chooser - select other theme
3- Settings > Applications > Anastasdroid (or sometimes com.jsmccabe78.theme.anastasdroid) -> uninstall
4- File Manager - find above .apk. Install
5- Reboot (turn off/on)
6- Theme Chooser, scroll to left, select Anastasdroid
NOTE: Click "Apply anyways" if you get the following message: "Theme Error: Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." It will NOT hurt anything!!!

If this is your first time using Anastasdroid, simply install, reboot and select in Theme Chooser!

Cheers and enjoy.

And remember, please report any buts and if you enjoy this, please hit the ol' Thanks button!

Like the project? Want more updates? Follow me on Twitter (see sig!)

jsmccabe78 · Apr 18, 2011

just curious if non-hd2 users are installing the new version (v2). if so, what device? installing okay? (> 130 dl and no responses....so just checking in!)

★ The Project ★
I have been a fan of Dinik's Anastasia since it hit the Windows Mobile world last year. (See my sig if you don't believe me!) My goal here is simple - bring Anastasia to Android. I made this for me, but thought I would share. (Not familiar with Anastasia? Look here for inspiration!)

★ What Anastasdroid is and what it isn't ★
Anastasdroid is a theme built for T-Mobile's Theme Chooser application found in CM7-based roms. It is NOT a rom. My goal is to replace native files using the Theme Chooser with the Anastasia style look. It is a work-in-progress. All icons are constructed by me. In respecting Dinik's decision that none of his icons minus his Anastasia template be used without his permission, I have redone every icon. I have asked Dinik for the okay to use some of his icons, but did not hear back - so until then, you are stuck with my work.

For specifics of what is included in Anastasdroid see the Theme Log in post 2.

★ Screens ★

★ Installation ★
NOTE: This is built for hdpi phones (tested only on the HD2); it may not work for non-hdpi phones.
1- Make sure you have Theme Chooser on your phone
2- Download the newest version of Anastasdroid, place on sdcard and install:
Click to download Anastasdroid RC v2

...QR code only works if your phone is logged into XDA...

3- Turn your phone off/ on (reboot)
4- Go to Theme Chooser and scroll to the left (as A is at the beginning of the alphabet )
5- Click Apply under the Anastasdroid theme.
NOTE: There will NOT be a preview image (the apk doesn't compile it correctly on a Windows computer...hope to change that!)
NOTE: Click "Apply Anyways" if you get the following message: "Theme Error: Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." It will NOT hurt anything!!!

★ Update Installation ★
1- Download newest Anastasdroid_RC_v#.apk and place on sdcard
Click to download Anastasdroid RC v2
2- Theme Chooser - select other theme
3- Settings > Applications > Anastasdroid (or sometimes com.jsmccabe78.theme.anastasdroid) -> uninstall
4- File Manager - find above .apk. Install
5- Reboot (turn off/on)
6- Theme Chooser, scroll to left, select Anastasdroid
NOTE: Click "Apply anyways" if you get the following message: "Theme Error: Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size." It will NOT hurt anything!!!

★ Uninstallation ★
1- Enter Theme Chooser and select another theme
2- Settings > Applications > Anastasdroid > Uninstall

★ Feedback ★
...or "Hey, what about my app/ apk? Can you add it?"...
Like it, love it or hate it - please leave a comment (or a screen shot).
If you find something not working or have an app that needs to be added to the theme, please post what you need. (And remember, a screenshot often is a great way to show me what you need.) If you want to add an app to the theme, please tell me the name (ideally, the package name from the AndroidManifest from the decompiled apk) and a screenshot if possible.

★ To Dos ★
Many things...
Better icons
More apps
Widgets
More native files (settings, etc.)

★ Thank Yous ★
Dinik, of course. sonnysekhon for answering a ton of questions on CWM theming. theimpaler747 for again answering questions and helping out a bunch with getting my feet wet. Kameirus for testing. the devs behind apktool and apkmanager - really made life easier! A ton of artists for their icons; I wish I had kept a list of all the people's work I use, but I didn't but thanks!

A very large thank you to david1171 for heading all of my questions; truly nice and willing to help out!

★ A Final Word ★
You are welcome to use my icons, etc. for whatever you want. However, please respect Dinik's work and ask permission to post them. If you need raw files, pm me. Also, leave a note - of thanks, questions, worries. And remember, this is my first Android theme - I am learning and sharing for fun. Thanks and enjoy!

And remember, hitting the "Thanks" button is quick, painless, free and makes me feel all warm inside.

I made a few hundred android icons using this template. If your interested, I'd be more than happy to upload them. Let me know...great work with this!!!
