Root Super Mario Bros Theme

I've finally made a little progress with the actual theme. It's been over a month and I've only created a battery mod, but it works nicely. :D
Once I figure out how to build a flashable zip I'll post it up for everyone to enjoy.

Screenie to come once I dl shoot me, just now flashed a modded rom and need to re-dl the app!

Edit: Here's a screenie!

Lol that's totally what I had in mind, looks great!

Swyped from my rooted honeycomb transformer :)
 
Speaking of themes there is a very cool theme on xda now in themes and apps for myn's warm2.2 release 5 called better nate than lever, you will appreciate it, check it out.
 
I see you got the transformer, sweet! I'm now trying to create an update.zip so I can distribute what I've done. At the moment I can only apply this to a Rom before I flash it. Doesn't make getting this too easy atm. :(
I boot looped my piece a couple of times last night trying to get the update.zip together. EPIC FAIL!
 
Dood, if I could I'd thank you twice! I think with Tommy's expertise with rosie, I may be able to get different home screen transitions, and theme my rosie!


Hey bro I hit you back on g talk, hit with me with that zip, I'll test it for you
 
Ok folks I now have a flashable update.zip for the battery mod. Let me know what Rom you're on and I can get a Rom specific version out to you.
Just pm me with your Rom and Rom version, and a good email address and I'll see what I can do. :)
 
so i tried it on the synergy rom, and kings alliance 7.5 and it works on both. great job.

Thanks!
I figured out that the themeing that's part if a specific Rom will be over written if I don't use the actual Rom as a base. For example: Kings Alliance is heavily themed, and if I don't Make the update with kings theme, my mod will wipe out his theme.
I also figured out how to have my info shown in recovery while flashing. ;)
 
well right now kings alliance 7.5 is only stock themed, so it worked. plus i really do not like his theming much anyways. can't wait for those themes. keep it coming!
 
If its stock or close to stock what I have now will work, no tweaking necessary. :)
Gonna make a few more changes tonight, and maybe make an AOSP update.zip.

Hows your theme coming Granite? I have been thinking about doing a mario(and/or zelda/donkeykong/nintendo) theme myself. So many great icons/wallpapers and tones for it.
 
It's going fairly good now! Realized a lot of the pngs In GB are located outside of framework.
I haven't made any xml edits yet, working on pngs in the framework and systemUI.apk. A lot if what I'm doing I have to edit and create on my own.
If you need any help or you have any tips for me please feel free to pm me!
 
hey granite,
i found this dev kit for beautiful widget. it is used to create your own skin for the clock, weather and battery widget. here it is check it out. not sure you want to theme ti as well but i thought that i would share it with y'all:http://levelupstudio.com/addons/bw/skindevkit.zip

I'll most absolutely look into it. I'd love to get a Mario skin developed for everyone to enjoy! Even the stockers could get sum Mario goodness! :D
 
It's good to hear that the theme is coming along. It would be cool to see some BW themed, I have been looking at buying it but haven't yet, this would give me a great reason lol :) Not to change the subject but does it really drain the battery as much as everyone says it does?
 
i don't think so. i have used bw since i used launcher pro and never had any issues with battery drain. i have on the synergy-kingdom rom and have seen pretty good battery life so far.
 
Holy crap, Urge! I thought you jumped ship, haven't seen you around. I dl'd the skin dev kit, haven't had time to piss with it yet.
I've got an 8 hour certification test on Saturday I've been studying for. Been strapped for time.
Send me a pm with your current Rom and your email, I'll send you out the battery mod tailored to your Rom. Or if you have a theme applied let me know which one it us, and I'll insert my mod right in. :D
 
Hey Granite just a suggestion, once you build a zip for a certain ROM you should update the OP with DL links that way people don't have to keep asking you. Also I have been really busy lately but things should slow done and then I will have more time lol.
 
I'm not really sure how to create an ftp for my files. Never done it. :(
Where do I go to learn?
 
Ok folks, made a little more progress.:D I have to tweak this a little before I post it out for yinz to enjoy.
I've taken Ocn's advice and added a dropbox folder. I'm also looking into creating a megaupload link. ;)
