OTA MiniDarkTheme by Trinev for Alliance Rom

MiniDarkTheme by Trinev

Recovery Flashable MiniDarkTheme by Trinev[ for Alliance Rom

MiniDarkThemAllianceRomFlashable.zip

Thanks, but could you pack it as an OTA visual?:eek:

The point of OTA visuals is that they only change the images (and some xml) inside the apk so they don't interfere with any mods in the Rom now or in future.

That way the theme can be used even if Robbie makes changes to framework or sysui.

The first zip is an OTA VISUAL AS STATED don't know what you are talking about, the second one is clearly only for Alliance V3 only

Oops... the description.txt in the Wifi_Original_Icons.zip that was uploaded to OTA has the wrong text. Here is the corrected version.

Having a little trouble with my signal mod... Getting overlap. Any ideas?

so if you are not affraid to edit this , this would be your solution.

Decompile SystemUI.apk with dependancy of twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk.

browse to SystemUI/res/layout/tw_signal_cluster_view.xml and search for this line

Code:
<ImageView android:id="@id/mobile_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

add the following before the closing tag of that line ( /> )

Code:
android:layout_marginLeft="2.0dip"

compile SystemUI , extract the xml from the apk and add it to you ota visual

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I was wondering, can the theme engine push a decompiled XML? Or does it then become a game of cat and mouse, where the theme uses the whole APK file / broken upon update / etc?

not decompiled only compiled :)

resources.asrc goes as well ( compiled values folder )
but this would make the visual firmware dependant when changes occur in the firmwares

Firmware dependant is exactly what I'm trying to avoid...

XML need to be recompiled and then extracted from the apk

Interesting. I might try that with this:

But until then, here is what I have now...

hey nick,

thanks a lot for ur work :good:

I installed the Signal_G14_Wave and looks really cool :laugh:

Thanks man! I appreciate that. That one was actually a bit time consuming. The original icons were this tapered shade of blue, so I had to go through each image and color it in white pixel by pixel ;)

..Now if only more people would join in and contribute :D

Once the UOT comes back online, we can just pump out all white icon sets and zip them into the OTA format :good:

    Now lets see some users be creative and create some themes/mods :D

    Played around with the Visual Theme engine and here is what I came up with so far :victory:

    ..and posted a few more here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38824949&postcount=11

    Because we are getting so many good suggestions for OTA updates in our thread AllianceROM_JB XXLSZ_v2 we decided it was time to start a thread for users to post their submissions.
    Major Credits to Robbie Hood for making this Rom and to Ficeto for making the awesome Rom Customiser and the Ota app


    OTA visuals (and updates) are bound to certain format rules that I will explain in the following posts.

    All things posted in here will first be tested and evaluated before being uploaded to OTA

    please be advised that mods are not to include complete framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk or android-policy

    Red Theme

    hi guys and girls,

    I always like red themes, and here in Alliance v3 we´ve the choice to change the color for a lot of stuff, but not for all ;)
    so my friend tobiasos (themer in our german home forum) and I decide to make a Red Theme for us,
    it´s not finished or perfect till now, and it´s still a work in progress, but we want to share this Theme
    so here it is:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrlhgxihbql9oom/Red_Theme_v1.zip

    Screenshot_2013-03-16-12-13-54.jpgScreenshot_2013-03-16-12-00-20.jpg2013-03-16-12-17-19.jpgScreenshot_2013-03-16-11-59-38.jpg2013-03-16-23-36-30.jpg
    View attachment 1810611 it´s GO SMS with BloodRed Theme

    a few Wallpapers

    background_holo_dark.pngred-dragon.jpgView attachment 1810626

    the Theme comes with a new bootanimation and sound (not really new, but little edited here and there ;))

    Installation:
    - flash at your own risk
    - make a backup just in case
    - copy the zip (it´s build like a OTA update) to either int. or ex. SD
    - open Rom Customizer and select Flash/Install
    - select where u copied the zip and flash it
    - be carful that u don´t tick wipe data ;)
    - that´s it

    we hope you enjoy this Theme :fingers-crossed:

    edit: for the best result, you should change the color of wlan, signal, battery etc to #ffad0404 via Alliance Settings

    OTA updates

    Ota updates can contain apk, mostly used by Dev's to update the Rom.

    Can however also be used for fixes that contain an apk like the stock playstore

    They are basicaly CWM zips, with some additions:

    A txt file named description with a description of the update

    An JPG file named preview with an image of the mod (preferable, not compulsory)

    ota3.jpg



    Please remember that all system apps go in preload/symplink/system/app

    You can use the base zip that I uploaded here
