Thank you very much for including the pre themed RC1...
You took a really functioning ROM and made it pretty cool to look at!
Congrats and thank you!

Added a 4g morph file, doesn't use the standard ugly green 4g icons. It uses icons similar to the current 3g icons. Hasn't been tested yet, it's late and I"m going to bed. Let me know if you try it and it works.

It diddnt work for me, then again I could have set it up wrong. I would wait for another confirmation lol. I based the edify file structure off of your full rc1 zip.

I just tested it and it worked fine. How are you building the zip? It should be: select ColorizedTheme.zip, select batterymod.zip (if using it), and then select 4g mod.zip. If you do it in that order then build a flashable zip, it should work out just fine. Let me know if you're still having issues.

Yea, very weird.. I know theirs something i missed.

So in zipthemer, I select colorizedtheme.zip, t hen select batterymod.zip, the the 4g mod.zip. So all 3 are in order, then I send them to /sdcard/colorized-update.zip, then hit build it. Restart, flash and I still have the H icon.

So im gonna go thru the edify real fast then.
I goto Update Edify. "Select flashable file: Browse. I browse to my clockworkmod/ROMs/update-cm-7.1.0-rc1-g2x-signed.zip

Does all this sound right?

Did you update the edify settings in ZipThemer when you first installed it? See the ZipThemer link I gave for the specifics on how. It's really easy though. I didn't really spell that out in the guide sorry. I just added a note about that, I'll put the full directions later.

Updated BatteryMod and ColorizedTheme files, changed the charging indicators around for a smoother animation. Added new image for the screenshot function (not my favorite, yes I know it’s shifted, but it’ll work for now). Added new fonts, if you don’t like them then download the droidsans.zip below and push them to your phone. Removed the dark themed market so it doesn’t override the new market. Bootanimation copy still doesn’t work. Been working a lot on a steampunk theme, between that and school I haven’t been working on this much.

Beautiful! I love the way my phone looks now! I kinda miss my stock CM7 lock screen, but am not willing to give up the rest of the framework lol.

I haven't tried the battery or 4g mods yet, but this is working great on CM7 Nightly 80. Try it out! You'll LOVE it!

Thank you SO much wewoapsiak, for taking the time to put this all together, and to share it with us! You've made a happy G2X owner, even happier. :)

The ZipThemer method using the 3 files under "ColorizedTheme.zip to use with ZipThemer" in the OP is confirmed to work with EaglesBlood 2.3.5 rom. Thanks to bmann_420 for letting me know.

Also I'm working on getting the battery % to display every 1%, I think I may be onto something :)

IDK if I'm not supposed to use this with a 2.3.3 ROM, but it's just so perdy, I had to try.
Gave up on CM7, and am now running EB 2.3.3. Seems to have worked fine, using ZipThemer.
It wouldn't save the zips to external SD, so I plugged into PC and moved them...no errors, everything loaded fine, and (so far) I don't seem to have any glitches.

Thanks :) Looking into it a little bit this morning, this should work fully with EB 2.3.3, EB 2.3.5, and the evil GB2x roms. Just no one has tested and told me yet. Did you happen to use the Batterymod.zip or the test.zip for your battery indications? If you used the test.zip, is it showing ever increment in battery %, not just every 5%?

Alright! Also tested and confirmed working on Evils rom. (I also had the issue with it not saving to external, so when I did the -output I just added sdcard/_ExternalSD/myname.zip and it worked fine. But it is confirmed on evils. working along with the accurate battery mod on EB 2.3.5. I know you based the framework on the accurate battery mod on CM7 so I diddnt test that on the regular GB version (evil's) yet.


Edit: tested accurate battery mod for Evil's: Got a boot loop lol

I installed installed the battery.zip found here (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24721-colorized-nightlies/page__pid__201943#entry201943), and it IS working (increments of 5). I will try the test.zip today, and let you know. :)

EDIT: Same result as bmann_420 with the test.zip (boot loop). The battery.zip, with 5% increments works though.

Thank you again for this awesome theme! I absolutely love it. And I love the fact that it doesn't add all sorts of extra files I don't need or want.


Alright! Also tested and confirmed working on Evils rom. (I also had the issue with it not saving to external, so when I did the -output I just added sdcard/_ExternalSD/myname.zip and it worked fine.
Thanks. I'm gonna give that a try...duh. :eek:

    Thanks to the dev team at VillainROM for their VillainTheme Flasher, this is now a flashable theme that "shouldn't" have to be updated as Rom makers update their Roms (Edit: But sometimes it will). So I present to you what may be the final change to this theme. Simply download the flashable zip file for your rom in this post below, and flash it. Simple as that. If you still want to use ZipThemer, a future update makes it so the battery indication doesn't work, or you don't like the "4G" icon and would rather have the "H" icon, then I have moved the ZipThemer files and how-to to the second post in this thread.

    NOTE THE FLASHABLE FILES ARE STILL UNTESTED UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, FLASHER BEWARE!

    Things to know
    1) This comes from my pickings of different Themes & .pngs I've found. I haven't created any of the artwork. As stated above, I've been doing this for my phone. If you find a better icon, post a link and if I like it better, I'll add it.
    2) I am not responsible if this breaks your phone. Make a backup first.
    3) If you use LauncherPro Notifications & Preferences under the main menu are still grey (See 4th pic below) because these are controlled by LauncherPro, and if I edit that .apk LauncherPro Plus doesn't work <_<
    4) The eye background is not included, but is attached to this post.
    5) I don't recommend trying to use Metamorph with this. So far I haven't got it to work fully for some reason, but it works perfectly well with ZipThemer. Plus this themes files that will cause a FC loop with Metamorph.
    6) If you want to use the clear Lockscreen that is in the last photo you must go to CM settings and select the "Rotary" style, I did this on purpose b/c some people would rather use the "Rotary Revamped" style.

    What currently has changes
    Framework-res.apk.............Bootanimation
    Settings.apk...........................Phone.apk
    SystemUI.apk........................Contacts.apk

    Change Log
    10/18/11 CM7.1.0.1 added.  All current ROMs updated for their latest release.  Added new bootanimation.  Lockscreen Rings are now transparent.  Removed zipthemer files.
    10/10/11 CM7.1 added.  Link currently in post 172 until the hosting site comes back online.
    8/9/11  Flashable zip files uploaded for various roms.  Removed the fonts and market mod.
    8/2/11  Started adding test zip files for battery % to display every increment.  Do note, just because this displays every increment does NOT mean the battery readings are really that much more accurate as far as the battery is actually at 20% and the phone displays 45%; that's all in the kernel / battery drivers.
    7/15/11  Updated BatteryMod and ColorizedTheme files, changed the charging indicators around for a smoother animation.  Added new image for the screenshot function (not my favorite, yes I know it’s shifted, but it’ll work for now).  Added new fonts, if you don’t like them then download the droidsans.zip below and push them to your phone.    Removed the dark themed market so it doesn’t override the new market.  Bootanimation copy still doesn’t work.  Been working a lot on a steampunk theme, between that and school I haven’t been working on this much.
    6/17/11 Added Metamorph capabilities. Recommend using ZipThemer.
    6/10/11 Transparent lock arc thingy added...see the 7th pic for what I'm talking about. You have to select Rotary, not Rotary Revamped in the CM Lockscreen Style settings
