[Theme] GingerFroyo v2.4 (2.3 stock theme for All CM6.1 Based ROM's) UPDATED 23-12

vido.ardes · Dec 7, 2010

Nandroid first! I am not responsible for nuclear war, the price of housing or your phone.

Please Read the whole of this post before asking a question, it may have already been answered

This started as a personal project to get my phone looking like the latest version of Google's OS as I knew it was a slim chace we would get the real thing, and because I wanted to learn a little more about how Android works. There was quite a lot of people showing interest in it, so I decided to post my work for everyone to use on thier Hero's. It has now transformed into somthing alot bigger than I ever expected. There is a lot of community work included in this theme, and I want to say thanks to a few people for thier contributions in either content or testing:

krispijn_s, Studjuice, Kullt, Calico5, LTourist, nmeuret, ximmox

Massive thanks to you all!

Installation steps:

Step 1: Download all four zip files, and put 'GingerFroyo-v2.2-signed' and your choice of keyboard on the root of your SDCard.
Step 2: Reboot to recovery and flash both updates (order doesn't matter)
Step 3: Boot up your phone and apply the XML file via "Settings > Cyanogen / Villain Settings > User Interface > Tweaks Extras > Select a theme > Gingerbread"
Step 4: Extract the files from 'GingerFroyo-Additional-Files' for dock icons and wallpaper to complete the look!

Confirmed working on the following Devices / ROMs

Nice work. I feel bad now that Froyd 1.7 is out

Shouldn't be too big a change, but the apks have been updated.

vido.ardes · Dec 7, 2010

Should be a piece of cake tbh, i will get a 1.7 version up first thing tomorrow. I am looking into making the whole thing flashable too

If you read the first post l0st.prophet says that this is a known bug and that he's working on it.

Also l0st.prophet can we have a version for floyo 1.1.9 (i think that's the current version) please.

Use theme porter and just port this framework to original Floyo... I have a floyo and it worked well...

ONLY FOR FROYDVILLAIN 1.6

Known bugs:
- Checkboxes & radio buttons no resized, look jaggy (I am working on these)

Hey dude, I just made a metamorph for the Hero with these things resized (I used the HDPI versions in the SDK as source).

Here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9658192

Feel free to use em.

Ps. I haven't figured out the whole menu text colour thing either (prolly one of the xmls in drawable), so I kept the original menu_background.

vido.ardes · Dec 8, 2010

Exactly what i was gonna do tomorrow! Looks like you beat md to it. If i work out how to change the text in the menu and the pulldown notification i'll let you know as your metamorph is alot.more flexible then my method. Feel free to us the bits for LP and keyboard in your post, if yours works on Froyd i will close my post and point it to yours, no sense in maintaing two versions!

Calico5 · Dec 8, 2010
