Ok, dumb question but, you ARE installing themes that say they are compatible with JF 1.41 RC30, right?
Vintage War always has given me problems, regardless of my build number.
I've had tons of sucess with themes though.
Deep Black, Macdroid, Hybrid, android meets ubuntu, carbon glow, fadetoblue, red.black, umbrella2. they all work with 1.41

This really bothers me when people talk about my theme not working dont blame my theme if you dont know what your doing. Most of the people who had problems with my theme got it after they read and learn how this phone works. Vintage War works and i know cause i installed it my self on 6 different G1 phones of family and friends.
the problems you are having have to do with the space on system and the size of the theme. if you did a fresh install of jfrc30 1.41 I think you would find the themes will install or try to uninstall some of the apps you installed and then try the theme.the themes you have installed with no problems probably where smaller,
These are the files to be edited in order to change the lock pattern theme:
All these Files are located in Framework.apk/res/Drawable
The White Dots

2. btn_code_lock_default_trackball_pressed.png
3. btn_code_lock_default_trackball_selected.png
4. btn_code_lock_touched.png
The border of the dots which turns Red/Green/...

Thanks kron i will give that a shot as well. I do know what im doing manup and i didnt mean to offend like i said your blue star 5 theme is the only one i can install. Im just running out of ideas and asking for advice. Will try what kron said, hopefully that does the trick! Never had problems with any theme before v1.41.
Please help!!
Ok I updated my phone with the multi touch. Everything worked great! I tried to get a little tricky now. I took a theme I had and tried to replace the framework folder and switch it out to the multi touch zip. Everything went great ALT S it updated fine but now all that will happen when I reboot the phone is it goes back to the reboot screen. I have a backup on my sd card but not sure how to get it. Can anyone help me? Please Thank You!

There really isn't a tutorial.
Make sure you install a theme that is compatible with what Rom you installed (RC30,ADP1,etc)
1-Download the theme
2-Rename theme update.
3-Transfer the theme to your Cards root directory, Do not place it inside any folder(s) (/SD card)
4-Reboot your cell. Call+Menu+End key, while rebooting switch over to....Holding Home+End key
5-Should be in recovery mode. Alt+s. If you'd like to wipe first, that's up to you.
6-Reboot again after its completed installing. Home+Back keys
7_ Cross your fingers and hopefully it won't cycle in boot up.

16Hello, I am a little new here. I am kind of a newb with a lot of things. I did root my device and replaced the boot images.. but i do not know how to make themes. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help by making a theme for me?
I added some images as to what i am looking to have done, that is of course anyone is willing to help. it is fairly simple i am looking to get the color scheme and kids icons if possible... maybe have a little fun with the clock or not if its too much work.
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it... i am a graphic designer more than a programmer.. a lot of this is confusing to me.
I really like this site and hopefully i can be of some help at some point. This is my first post but i plan on posting a lot more.16I would like to change the text color of the popup panel or menu to white.
I have a nexus one, using CM6, and decompiled my framework-res.apk. I found in the Value folder that the styles.xml has the following that is relevant to changing the panel text color. The code:
<item name="panelBackground">@drawable/menu_background</item>
<item name="panelFullBackground">@drawable/menu_background_fill_parent_width</item>
<item name="panelColorForeground">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
<item name="panelColorBackground">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="panelTextAppearance">?textAppearanceInverse</item>
I did several things but the text is still black.
1)I removed "Inverse",
2)changed the "panelColorBackground" to #ff000000 and, left "panelColorForeground" "panelTextAppearance" alone.
3)removed "Inverse"
Nothing helps. Do you have any idea?
After I changed the styles.xml, I recompiled, copied original AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder to the modded framework-res.apk, then pushed. Is any of the following incorrect?
please help
In the styles.xml change:
<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimaryInverse</item>
to
<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">
<item name="textColor">@color/bright_foreground_dark</item>6Nice concept...but I`m not sure if you have looked at this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467639 It describe how to make a theme and stuff, good starting point anyways. Hope it helps!6@brandenk
why do we need to zip the files in linux? By the way thanks for the theming for dummies guide.
I don't know why, something about how linux packages zip files opposed to windows, and yes once I figure it out and find all the problems people can have I am going to make up a nice walkthrough on making themes. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were already some theme manager apps in the works to make this whole process easier.6Im teaching myself how to make themes as well. I have found it best to read through that walkthrough a million times and then PM a couple of the dev guys to answer specific questions.
Basically this is the process:
- Take a theme that you like for RC30 or ADP1 or whatever you wanna make it in
- Extract 2 folders inside, app, and framework into a new folder on your computer
- Rename add a .zip to the end of the apk files and extract them all so you have a bunch of folders with your app names
- Go into res and find any folder that says drawable and inside of there are the files to edit for your theme. Make sure not to edit the .9.png files.
- Once all your editing is done get into linux and turn all the folders back into zip files, then turn them back into apk files.
- Then take your app folder and framework folder that contain the new files and in linux create it into one zip file.
- Then you send the file back to windows, get the SignAPK files, put your zip in the folder with the SignAPK files and run some commands in the CMD to resign the file.
- Then rename that file update.zip and put it on the SDcard and give it a whirl.
This is how I understand the process after talking to a couple people for the last few days. I am hoping to release my own theme soon and if it works you will know that these steps are right. LOL And dont follow those directions, they are just to give you an idea of the steps involved.
