ATTN: (UPDATED 9-25-11) ColorMod theme for GWK74 (2.3.7) can be found here


This is a port of JBabey's ColorMod theme for CM7. When I had my EVO I asked him if I could port it to SalvageMod and now I'm working on it for the NS4G

I consider this a WIP. There are a few things I want to see fixed, such as notification icons in statusbar and more themed apps

I am more than willing to try my best to fulfill requests, however my semester is starting soon so we'll see what I can do!

Here are some screenshots






DOWNLOAD HERE (Updated 9-15)

Install instructions via recovery:
1) Boot into recovery
2) Wipe cache/dalvik cache
3) Make nandroid backup (**OPTIONAL**)
4) install "pete_crespo_colormod-9-15-signed.zip"
5) reboot

Install instructions via ROM Manager
1) Select "Install ROM from SD"
2) Select "pete_crespo_colormod-9-15-signed.zip"
3) Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
4) **OPTIONAL** Select "Backup Current ROM"
5) Install

This was built against BuglessPete's GPA17 (the 8-30 nightly) for the NS4G

Might work on other stock-like ROMs

Tested with latest CWM Recovery

Hope you guy's enjoy!

Definitely a nice mod. I use it daily! Thanks for the work!
Thanks man! Letme know if you guys want any other mods

I have a few status bar mods (center date with pull-down notification, different clock/date/notification colors, etc)

I've been racking my brain trying to make the gmail and other notifications colorful and I think I found a way using ZipThemer

I will post an update late tonight so let me know if interested in any other status bar mods

When the update comes out can we just flash it over the existing mod or will we have to flash back to GPA17 first? Only change I made to it was putting the stock phone.apk back in. Wouldn't mind a different phone.apk but just didn't care for the bear. Love everything else. Thanks for taking the time to make our phone experience a better one.

Thanks man that was really nice! I just finished making the dialers, there's 4 different ones including the stock one to choose from.

To be honest, I've gotten a little bit better at doing this stuff the last few weeks and I really wanna take this in a different direction. My plan is to make some touch ups with the original theme, that one you can flash right over the old

If I get some stuff done with the other theme, probably gunna have to flash the ROM, then the different theme. You won't have to erase your data or anything

But we'll see what I can get done. I've had trouble editing the current ColorMod with my statusbar tweaks so I'm trying to find a medium there

Thanks for your input man!

Updated OP with some goodies

Also, there is an isue when you plug your phone in to the charger (your battery will be covered by a black image) but this will go away after a few minutes

If anyone has any statusbar requests (different colors, centered clock, etc) letme know and I'll see what I can do

Enjoy!

Is it a corrupt image file causing this? Could you just drag the missing icon over or something from the old .zip file?

I ended up making some changes I wanted to within the statusbar and i think that is what's causing it. I did pull the png out but didn't make a difference. Later on tonight I'll have another look and see if I can get it fixed up

Remove color mod?

Thanks for your efforts making this great looking mod, but if I want to remove the mod is there a way to do it restore one of my really old backups? Ive been using this for such a long time that my last stock buglesspete nandroid with out your mod is really old. Im probably overlooking the solution, I was just wondering if there was like a "remove color mod.zip" floating around out there or something :p

again thanks for your work!

If you can, you can flash the ROM again and it will restore everything back to 'stock'

If you don't I can fix you up a zip in a few hours when I get back to my laptop

Thanks for the response. Yeah i hadnt tried just flashing the rom again. I figured that that would probably be the easiest fix, but i wasnt sure how "deep" your mod went. About the zip, Ill try flashing rom again first. Thanks though.

Yep so just flashing the rom again did the trick, I just had to re-flash mathkid's kernel. Im sure Ill be back in color mod land soon enough, I just wanted to see if there was any change in batt life with Matrix 7 with and with out color mod. thanks again!
