Default [THEME] Half'n'Half Theme for BravoX ROM

Half black, half white status bar. A combination of custom icons and notification bar/backgrounds.

There are 3 versions:

1. Half 'n' Half combined with my Droid X 2.3.3 theme
2. Half 'n' Half combined with my Stock Gingerbread theme
3. Half 'n' Half with BravoX Froyo (MotoBLUR froyo)

All versions will only work (as far as I know) with BravoX ROM by BandroidX.

I have only tested it on BravoX RC2 so I can't guarantee any results, anything you do to damage your phone is not my responsibility.

This modifies the framework-res.apk and services.jar

It modifies more than just the status bar. (Let me know if you guys want just a status bar mod)

What it changes (Half 'n' Half combined with theme):
  • Status Bar & icons
  • Popup menus
  • Buttons
  • Drop down menus
  • "loading" spinners
  • plus other things

What it changes (Half 'n' Half with BravoX Froyo):
  • Just the status bar

Requirements:
  • Root
  • BandroidX's bootstrap recovery and/or have ADB set up with knowledge
  • A way to get you phone back from a brick (e.g. SBF, nandroid restore)

To apply:
(With bootstrap recovery)
  1. Download the flashable zip from below to your sdcard
  2. Boot into CWM recovery through BandroidX's recovery app
  3. Make a nandroid backup (not necessary but I highly recommend)
  4. Select install zip from sdcard
  5. Select choose zip from sdcard
  6. Select the .zip you put on your sdcard
  7. select yes to confirm
  8. wait for installation to finish (a few seconds)
  9. Reboot (will take a while because of the modded services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes
  10. Enjoy your theme!

(With ADB)
  1. Download a .zip from below to you computer
  2. Extract the services.jar and framework-res.apk to where your ADB directory is
  3. Plug your phone in with phone portal and ADB debugging enabled (settings>applications>development)
  4. Open up your command prompt
  5. Type these commands (after each, press enter):
    Code:
    cd [directory of adb and .jar and .apk]
           adb remount
           adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
           adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
           adb reboot
  6. (reboot will take awhile because you are modding the services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes

Things needed in upcoming updates:
  • Change some white font to black for easier reading (such as pull down menus)
  • If there is anything else, let me know

Changelog:

1.0
  • Initial release

Thanks to:
EXTRA- if you want Gingerbread Market notifications and Gmail notifications follow these steps:

Note: you don't need my status bar mod, it will work on any phone (I think).
  1. Download zip below
  2. put on sdcard
  3. uninstall market and gmail
  4. rename the vending.apk and gmail.apk (located in system/app/) to vending.bak and gmail.bak
  5. boot into CWM recovery
  6. Wipe Cache
  7. Select install from zip from sdcard
  8. select choose zip from sdcard
  9. select gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip
  10. install

Good work. As far as I have noticed. Almost all of your themes work with stock roms.
