[UPDATED 8/29/11][THEME] Gingerbread Motoblur Theme for BravoX ROM [v1.4]

---

Themed to look like the Gingerbread (2.3.x) Motoblur Builds from devices like:
Droid X/X2/2/3, Photon 4G, Triumph, and Atrix

This will work on BravoX Rom as well as stock Bravo 2.2.1 (as tested by abhi897)

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 all of the framework-res.apk and some of the services.jar

What it changes:

• Status Bar & icons
• Popup menus
• Buttons
• Drop down menus
• "loading" spinners
• and other things i can't remember

Requirements:

• Root
• BandroidX's bootstrap recovery or Sndinit.apk (below) or have ADB set up with knowledge
• some knowledge on what you need to do if something goes wrong with your phone (e.g. SBF, nandroid restore)

To apply:

(With bootstrap recovery or 2ndInit)

1. Download the flashable zip below to sdcard
2. Boot into CWM recovery through BandroidX's recovery app
3. make a nandroid backup
4. Select install zip from sdcard
5. Select choose zip from sdcard
6. Select the downloaded .zip.zip
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 the .zip 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):
   

   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:

1.4

• Updated all status bar .pngs to match the newest builds from Motorola

1.3

• Changed progress bar to have grey outline like the Droid X

1.2

• Changed animations and other .pngs to better match the Droid X with 2.3.3

1.1

• Changed status bar date color to white
• Made orange pull-bar (in 3rd pic below) blue
• Made download progress bar blue

1.0

• Initial release

Thanks to:

• BandroidX for the awesome ROM and bootstrap
• Daneshm90 for the .zip creator http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437

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.

1. Download Gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip from 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

Screenshots: (old version)

Very Cool, I have DroidX and wow it looks just like it in the pics! I am going to install this on my dev bravo and check it out.

One note to users, I would not use the services.jar w/o my ROM, the services.jar is deodexed and you cant mix a dedodexed services.jar w/ a non-deodexed framework, you will bootloop.

This is Very Cool Jorgonv!!!

Jorg, is there a way we can get an Odexed version of the "services.jar" file, for those who wish to use the stock rom?

How does it run on the hardware? Any issues so far?
I will probably flash back over to the latest RC and test it out.

Lately, i have preferred staying on the stock Rom, as it seems to score better in Quadrant... (i think maybe because of the deodexing, it needs to do more at start-up, leaving some resources still open, or used.)

Never-the-less, I think the Rom bandroidx has compiled for is is am amazing piece of work, and only the beginning to our list of supported Os versions!!!

I can't wait to load this theme up on the RC.
Will test it out and see how it goes!!

bandroidx,

Do you foresee any work with a complete vanilla gingerbread, or higher, version of android being cooked?

This bootloader situation seems kind of sticky to me, what kind of keywords would you recommend i search for, in efforts to overcome this limitation?

Thanks!!

I love it!

Two requests/questions:
*It seems like my "synching" notification icon never goes away?
* Any plans on including a circle battery icon?

Glad you like it. I've seen some people with the same syncing icon problem and the only solution was to wipe data.

I'm not planning to making it with a circle icon, this theme is only droid x 2.3.

I will be making more themes in the future, possibly with circular battery icons.

I tried to make an odexed version before bandroid's rom came out, but had no success. I could try again

I dont think the odexed version would make the phone run any slower. I am running the rom fine at 1 ghz and no lag. The only difference is the first boot-up after wiping the cache. after that, it boots up at the normal speed

you should read android central's new piece of quadrant benchmarks. real world feel is probably a better indicator and the rom feels faster.

the rom removes bloatware and services that would usually run and waste memory like voice commander nad others, the deodexing if anything should speed things up.

i am starting to think odexing is just a way for a oem to lock things down a little more. but i really dont know too much about beyond the basics.

quadrant can be swayed far too much by IO, and io can be effected so easily in so many ways.

either way, i wouldnt concern yourself too much with quadrant scores when deciding to run the rom or not. quadrant can be a good indicator like when overclocking (and nothing else has changed except clock speed) but when it comes to different rom's I am not sure its as good of an indicator. I do own quadrant advanced though so I can run it on the rom and see what scores differ specifically, i am betting on IO, but who knows.

Tell you what...I'm not fond of the cost of these projects but I got a $30 donation if somehow you can change the swype color path to red...

Swype Beta, or the stock bravo one?

True. I flashed over to rc2, only, and it scored near the same rang as the stock..
I concur with the topic of real world feel, and benchmarks.. Benchmarks can only tell you so much..

Well, my interest is more towards breaking the boot loader moto has placed upon the newer phones.. Do you know of any current projects to defeat this you may be able to link me too?
