[THEME] (6Mar) MaxDroid v1.06 (Rotating Dialer & 4x5 Rosie ) for 1.72/1.84 SENSE ROMs

This is my theme based on Black Espresso with some modifications fm myself. There are a lot of modifications and additions made to the theme. Some of the features are as below :

• options for 4x5 or 4x4 layout
• options for rotation or portrait only
• options for rotating dialer
• notification menu power control widgets
• advanced power menu
• tweaked autobrightness profile
• transparent app/customize drawer and notification background
• MaxDroid black/blue theme
• custom right (personalize) menu remap
• 1% battery with animation during charge
• re-worked dialer to black with blue tinge

Requirement
SENSE ROM Base : all 1.72.xx ROMs
SENSE ROM Base : 1.84.xx ROMs (tested working on RCMixHD, Villain and CoreDroid)
Root and Deodexed ROM
CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod) for installation

PLS NOTE THAT ANY MODIFICATIONS DONE ON YOUR PHONE IS RISKY BIZ. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DOING IT.
Installation
1. Always do a BACKUP before installation. I always use CWM to backup my ROM.
2. Copy zip file to your /SDCARD/.
3. Install from CWM or if you reboot, go to recovery and do the update
4. This step is optional but it is recommended to wipe the Dalvik cache in the Recovery Advanced option. (a MUST for those using LeeDroid ROM) after installing the zip file
5. If you still encounter any problem, do a restore fm your CWM backup

installation instruction

- there are 2 ways to change the icons; metamorph or use apps like bettercut

Metamorph(can be downloaded fm market)
- enables you to overwrite files within an apk. Since changing an icon requires changing a png file within an apk file, this only works if the apk file is situated in the system. Apps installed onto the data folder will not work as the security feature within android will require the app to be re-signed after modifications.
- you will see 2 zip files in your sdcard/androidthemes/ folder.
- open up metapmorph and select the icons you want to change.
- if facing problem wt apply all, try to apply individual icons instead

Other apps (like bettercut)
- enables you to add shortcuts of your applications and also allows you to change the icons. Icons can be selected from normal png files.
- png icons are in /sdcard/maxdroid_black_icons/ folder.

Looking good ...

 

[rajatthakran]

Really good man... will this work on the Desire Z ??

Oops... its 1.72 framework should work on my desire Z...

 

[dclimaxb]

Need it! I'm agree with you about sense's widget.fortunatly you have the knowledge which i don't have..

 

[ALPTEKİN_]

looks very nice,I would like to try ,design was very nice...lower the bar alone would be better if it is not fully rounded edges...

 

[Toni10]

Great skin!
The Dialer looks very cool.
I hope you you decide to share it.

 

[shezaad879]

Been looking for this for ages. I agree, there's a waste of real estate there, specially with such a huge screen. 4x5 makes so much sense for SENSE ;-)

Would like to give it a try.

Thks for the feedback. I"ll try to clean up the files and upload something after I get home later today.

Great ..., can't really understand, why HTC didn't make 4x5 already.
Was waiting for such a theme since owning the DHD ...
TIA

 

[dongster]

Fantastic Idea~! I have always wanted the HTC Sense clock with weather animations on my homescreen but had to give it up due to limited space. Waiting for your release soon! Thank you!

 

[MaxDroid]

Ok....just finished cleaning up some files. I plan to release this in 2 parts. The first part only deals wt the rosie 4x5 and widgets ( will not touch your framework ). So, hopefully, you can use it across most custom SENSE ROMs.

The second part will be the complete theme which I will showcase later once I get my post count up to 8.

Files should be uploading once I finish off the zipalignment.

 

[MaxDroid]

Rosie 4x5 & tweaked Sense widgets released

Have to put it on my dropbox as I can't upload it here due to the file size.

Let me know if you encounter any problem. Enjoy!!

 

[jucapo]

Its working great. All HTC widgets fitting perfect. Most of other widgets, too.
Only some other widgets (e.g. 4x4 Meridian player) have problems not showing up everything...
The rosie 4x5 is implemented really fine. No lag at all.
Thank you so much, waiting for the second part ... ;-)

 

[MaxDroid]

Glad that it works fine.

For those programs not showing properly, you can upload the apk and I'll give it a fix.

As for part 2, let see what I can compile today before I go off on vacation tomorrow.

 

[Firething]

Hi Maxdroid love the theme, but if i flash it to the new Leedroid rom, Sense simply gets uninstalled ... dont know why but hoping you can explain why

Does Leedroid ROM has HTC SENSE on it??

 

[buzzboy]

Does Leedroid ROM has HTC SENSE on it??

Thought it would work on Leedroid too, I must admit....its worth flashing Revolution for a try though! Looks amazing

 

[Firething]

yup it has sense... if i flash the rom, it boots fine into sense and i let it install everything, then reboot into cvm and flash your theme... then sense is not an option when i reboot the phone and it asks me to choose either launcher or launcher pro

OK....found a fix. LeeDroid build is somewhat heavily modified and is sensitive to changes on the Dalvik cache. So, do a recovery and first install my zip then go to advance menu and wipe the Dalvik cache after that. Reboot and it should be working.

p/s - thks.....having a bit of fun wt LeeDroid ROM......and it was a smooth install over AR without any problem.
