BLACKFROYO in it's Final Stage

I present to you my personal blended/kanged/port of Black n Bold by theBowers at DroidForums.net mixed with my personal style and now called BlackFroyo. This is not a ROM, it's a flashable theme. I am using it on Obsidian v5 Beta (confirmed working on other froyo roms listed below install instructions).

BlackFroyo for Nero v3 go here

    [*]WARNING - ONLY TESTED ON EUGENE373's CM6.1 Beta Kang found
    HERE. Try this theme at your own risk on this and/or any other ROM.


Install Instructions:

Make a nandroid backup - it's always better to be safe than sorry.

I have based this theme off of Obsidian v4.2/v5 Beta and Auxura 2.05 frameworks and .jar files. I take no credit for anything ROM related. All credit is due to the Devs listed below. As mentioned before, this is just a theme, not a ROM. If any of you are brave enough to try on other roms that is your choice. I am in no way responsible for you breaking your phones.

To install this theme just download the .zip file and flash it through clockwork recovery.



I am currently running Eugene373's CM6.1 Beta Kang Rom and using my ported BlackFroyoCM version.

im going to be brave/reckless and try this on auxura 2.04... report back, but i anticipate problems...

EDIT: actually worked, hung on first boot but battery pull reset worked, now works flawlessly. i like the look, good work OP. might leave this on for a bit just to test more. nice to see themes for froyo roms out and that devs aren't making their builds needlessly incompatible.

Hi,

It looks like you've used my framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk for the base of your theme, and I can tell, because you didn't even bother to chance the gps acquiring animation, the sync animation mod, or revert my changes to the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml or tons of my png file edits.

Cheers

Edit:
I didn't take anything from your mods. I clearly state that i've ported this from the Obsidian v4.2 rom, the Black N Bold theme and some xml edits from freekyfroggy. If any of their frameworks included your work than that's where it came from.

Don't take it personal. I'm just trying to share since there are a lot of users here that don't have the time or know how to create/port/kang themes. If you feel like I was disrespecting you that is not my intentions. You should PM me if you have issues. Android is "open source", that's why I love it so much. I believe you and I have a mutual goal so to speak, which is to help other Android/Vibrant lovers maximize their user experience. I respect themers like you, i'm not trying to gain anything from this thread, only to share and collect/collaborate ideas to better our daily use with this phone.
Cheers to you!

It is what it is. I still didn't steal anything from you so I have no guilt or remorse. Thank you, however for removing your post in my thread. I do understand where you are coming from. Good luck on your endeavors away from XDA!

Just installed it on my Vibrant running Axura 2.0.3 and it works like a charm.
Thanks to whoever made this possible, I really like it.

I too took the plunge running Axura 2.0.3 and this is sweet! The only bummer is that Axura already had sweet transitions but were changed with this theme. Any way to get it without the transitions? Just install each .apk seperate? Very, very nice work. Super sexy. :)

    I appreciate everyone's comments and feedback. I have been extremely busy with work and have been unable to do any theming/porting to the newer roms that have been released. My company is going through layoffs and I'm in the middle of keeping my job with some new changes and preparing some of my employees to take their severance. My wife is also pregnant with our 3rd child and is due in a couple of weeks. I am not writing this to gain sympathy or anything like that. I have no fear that my company will keep me on. I just want everyone to know that I am really preoccupied with my work/family life. I promise that I read all reply's and PM's and will slowly get things working and release updates in the future, most likely after the new year. Thanks for being such great followers and for enjoying this theme.

    Hey Sam, is there going to be a new blackfacebook app to match the theme? Facebook has updated to include chat and push notifications, so I had to download that, and it just doesn't fit with the theme. I need it and very happy they have added it, which makes it really almost complete now, but it sucks not having it in black.

    thanks


    Same here, any plans on the new facebook

    Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

    Here you go, there are some xml files that are different and I haven't had time to edit them so the widget looks like blackfroyo for now but the app once it's open has a white background but everything else looks like the blackfroyo version.

    Theme is awesome, Love it. I have it running on Oynix R4.2 ULF. Only issue is FC's with messigning and will not let me send out any texts.

    Sorry you're having issues, I can send text just fine, unable to recreate your issue. Try running a fix permissions.

    Hey guys, pardon the "noob" question, as i am about as noob as they come... how do i go about pushing the facebook.apk so i will have the new BLACK facebook? Im not using root explorer, however i do have super manager which has an apk manager and root access.... just not sure how to get the new facebook pushed and installed, never done an app this way, any help would be great

    "Pushing" generally refers to using adb (a tool in the Android SDK). If you've downloaded the SDK, and have this tool, the command would be (assuming facebook.apk and adb are in the same dir):

    adb push facebook.apk /system/app

    adb reboot

    As mentioned, though, Root Explorer copy pasta followed by reboot will get you the same end result for many basic apps.

    Edit: Also, you need to be in either USB Debugging mode or in recovery (I recommend recovery) when using adb.
