[Theme] Clear - Built on Damage 2.1 (3-28-10)

---

Special thx to Damage and his unnamed leak for the official 2.1 release! VVM was business-necessary for me (ability to forward voicemails).

This is a Port of Ratcom's GSM version; all credit goes to him. Those interested in theme development, look up Ratcom and check his sig.

(3-28-10) Rosie no longer includes buttons; instead they're located under Framework in com.htc.resources.apk. So editing Rosie requires you to update both these APKs. Therefore they're both in the ZIP, which makes for a big file.

Fade Button Rosie

Special thx to all those at XDA making it possible for us to better use our phones. Thanks!

many thanks! Love the clear clock, thought I would have to say goodbye to it after flashing fresh 1.0

This is the theme I personally use and plan to keep it up-to-date for as long as Flipz wants to pump out updates.

I do have a day job though

Can you try to port over a smaller home like in the beautiful home app(4x1 instead of 4x2)

sweet, thanks a million.

quick question, did this change?

You're referring to this:


Copied from this post in the GSM themes:

adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -R system/etc/lockscreen/port

Whatever lockscreen you have will now show directly on top of your home screen.

installed fresh 1 and i still have the wallpaper i set for the background, installed the clear theme as well. tried this command and it keeps saying file or directory doesn't exist.

just sucks that the clear notify makes you lose the new task bar and puts the old one back on.

I don't understand the point of the clear lock screen included here since Flip put out lock removal patch. I'm not complaining, just curious of the difference. And since the lock screen is totally transparent with Fresh 1.0 + delock, is there a way to remove the clock from the lock screen since a lot of people use the HTC Clock widget anyway?

I'm using the keyboard, widgets and buttons. I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch. I'd use the clear notification but I like the new taskbar icons, if there's a way to get both the clear notification pane and the new icons I'd use it. Again, I love your work!

Amazing JOB!! Really love it. Thank you a lot for this!!

I've tried to split everything out as much as possible, but with ZIP updates, you update the entire APK, not bits and pieces. In this case, both the notifications and taskbar graphics are located in the same APK (framework-res). So it's all or nothing.

All Clear downloads are labeled with the APK it replaces to help the community know what it is the ZIP is actually changing.

I haven't even looked for it yet, but I'm guessing Tsowen's taskbar is a GSM theme that Flipz started to port over. I also know Flipz needs a break and mentioned something about working in the kitchen. If it is a port, I don't mind looking at it, but it would have to wait 'till next week, as things get BUSY starting today.

The difference: this is for those who have DE-Freshed. This lockscreen offers a separate lockscreen wallpaper that has no arc or other graphics on it, just your wireless carrier and the time. You don't see your homescreen or HTC Clock widget at all.

As for removing the clock, well, I have the habit of giving out almost-truths Then Flipz yells at me and sets everyone straight. I'll try to explain with what I think I currently know, and then the pros will (hopefully) come by and tell you how it really works.

Visuals are controlled by binary XML files within an APK. You can't just open and edit them, they're not regular XML. There's a java "printer" that will convert them to TXT so that they can be edited, but there's no known way to re-package them again. Unless you're editing source code not to look for certain files, you can't just delete XML files either.

What that means for us - Removing the clock would be a specific feature a ROM cooker would have to change the source code for. That's waaaay past what a simple graphics hobby jockey like myself is capable of

I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch.

Glad you like it! The original Clear-button Rosie was a quick hack-job to remove the "at rest" buttons. I think these hold true to the theme much better.

Flipz corrected me when I quoted that from the GSM theme forum. There's a backup wallpaper as well, so to "remove" your lock screen to view the homescreen beneath takes a bit more work.

As per my OP, I would like to look into this, as there seem to be enough people interested. Ideally there would be a ZIP update package that modifies things to the point that you'd be able to flash Evil's lockscreen (or whatever) and still see your homescreen beneath. I'd like to think this is possible, but that requires time to play around
