Root [THEME]Icecream Sandwich

First of all.. Thanks Dude for this ultimate theme..
and there is still one bug.. as you fixed big buttons and zoom bars..
but there are still big text boxes.. means text boxes are still big..
hope you will remove that as soon as possible and also add power menu..!!
 
@varun
the statusbar icons, can u plz tell me if they are MDPI or HDPI.. or did u compress them from HDPI to MDPI ?
 
I themed the Power control widget to resemble ICS.. Here are some screen shots..It would be a nice addition to varun's theme..
Here is the link

To install,
1) simply use root explorer to copy the settings.apk to system/ folder..
2)Then set the permissions to this

3)MOVE the settings.apk to system/apps folder and replace the already existing one
 
Many themers coming to A70 huh :D

gr8 to see them :D
Theming is not my field of interest but I love just to see there photos on the forums :D :D :D :)

@Varun : Use Photoshop and make the background of notification pane to be translucent !
Yup it is possible in photoshop ! by setting up something like opacity :p
Like i said earlier I am not interested the looks :p hence I hardly know abt the Theming !!

Btw for adding the Power menu use Sam's frame work and do the same things again ...
it will be done with Power menu and ICS transitions !

It's difficult.
It took a lot of time to make the Power menu working..throws bootloops...

Needs lotsa luck ;)

(seems like it already has the transitions)
 
Gr8 wrk sunil..havent tried it yet bt luks gr8..n i support ninad in dis dat a translucent notification pane wil luk gr8..
 
transparent notification pane will only work in stock launcher.. in adw and launcher pro, you will need to use live wallpapers to make it look transparent.. in other launchers it will not work at all..

Wt does it have 2 do wid the launcher?..
Varun already made some serious changes, so translucent will be a problem??..

Nope its not launcher dependent ...
its framework , not launcher ...

Transparency had been tested earlier, worked on stock launcher only.
It IS launcher dependent.different launchers handle framework differently.

nope ...
It is just modification of PNG in framework-res.apk ..
I personally use modified stuff ... [[ From UOT kitchen ]]
u r speaking of Notification bar ! it is launcher dependent and not Notification
 
@ninad
I agree with Akshay and Sunil.
I have tried that transparency thingy by adding alpha patches using GIMP but it appears transparent in following conditions
1.lockscreen
2.live wallpaper
3.completely transparent without any problem on stock launcher

@Sunil
I have downsized the hdpi pngs to mdpi pngs
Moreover for that transparent power control, I think u replaced 1 png in settings.apk with transparent one right?
I cannot remember name of that png but I will try it :)
 
We r tokin abt translucency (not transparency) right?..N dat to in the notification pane or notification center not d notification bar..
 
@varun
yep, its called appwidget_bg.9.png
Did you use apkmanager to decompile the apk or did u do it using 7zip ?
I was using apkmanager for modding settings.apk and even if i just decompile and recompile without making modifications and push it to phone, it throws errors
any idea why ?

also the statusbar icons, when they are compressed from HDPI to MDPI look a lot worse than original MDPI icons.. thats why the battery icon is barely visible..
Arent there any MDPI ICS Stock phone from which we can rip the status bar icons from ?
 
@tanj
it has been worked out before.. search the forum for it.. there were tonnes of themes with transparent notification panel but only for stock launcher
btw 1-99% transparency IS translucency, isnt it :P

Hehe..:P yea it is..anyways wtever work u'll r doin is gr8 thnx..
 
Yeah, that's because I haven't done .9 patches on pngs that's why the decompilation errors(and some other secret stuff is causing that ;) ).
Moreover I have fixed that Battery icon also ;)
Struggling for transition and power menu integration now.
Moreover v3 will contain some surprises too :P

Simple reason: A70 framework is shit!
I tried for months but couldn't get reboot option in power menu to work.
Sam did that after lotsa hard work!
And varun had quite a good luck that these worked in one go.
(Btw i tried the upgraded version of apkmanager, Apk multi tool, decompilation and recompilation worked ;) )
 
transitions are already there , i think
Im working on getting the volume bar look like this

Still have to figure out why apk manager isnt compiling apk properly
 
@akshay
