[Verizon] [ROM][4.0.4] AOKP ICS B40/M6/Mods (7/8)

Does anyone here have any basic theming skills? Maybe you BB? I have just 2 things that I wanted themed on every build. Third eye is basically it but the developer added something else I don't like and he's done with making me custom themes without it now :( all I want themed is the toggles ICS blue and an ICS blue circle battery mod. That's it! Are there such things as generic themes? Maybe a one time theme someone can create with those features in it that can work on any version? I flash every nightly and the standard battery and white toggles are maddening!

Have you looked into it yourself yet? It's really pretty basic if you're a fairly proficient on the PC and you dnld 7zip. I've done it all by trial and error, but essentially you download the mod you want, then open her up using 7zip, find the images you want changed, change them in GIMP (what I use as it is free), then close. For the battery you'd just dnld any battery mod zip for M3, find the battery images, and replace them with the battery you want (either through UOT kitchen or images you get elsewhere). Once you do it once it is very simple. I'm no pro (far from it), but certainly feel free to ask any questions. I could point you in the right direction.

I don't have a PC ;) I'm not very good at doing any programming whatsoever...I really wanted to start getting in to it but I never have the time. So fairly proficient? Not even close :D I looked in to UOT...went on the site...looked at the screen...said what's going on...clicked some things...got some error messages...closed the page...and that's my theming career :(


Addition: And there are some MODs/themes I notice that are generic and can work on let's say any 4.0.3 ROM. These are 2 really basic things, and, unless I'm understanding wrong, should be able to be flashed on any version of the ROM as long as no new changes are made pertaining to what's being modded/themed. Am I somewhat right here or do I have absolutely no clue? (Wouldn't surprise me :p )

lmao.

No programming at all what-so-ever nada zero needed :D

It's just about finding the images you want modded, mod them with photoshop/gimp/etc.. then replacing. All through the free program 7zip. You'll use it to open the zips. Right click on the zip, open with 7zip tada!

I'll have some time later this week to take a look for you. PM me the exact mod/toggles you want changed to blue and the exact battery mod and I'm assuming this will be for M3 correct?

I added a little bit of something to my post. No, I'm currently running 21. I flash all the nightlies, so that's actually why I added that bit up there haha. If you read through that it explains a bit more of what I'm trying to achieve here

Itchy romming fingers.....gotta wait for 22 or something soon....some have said they are nandroiding, going back to stock, flashing 4.0.4 and then recovering to their 4.0.3 roms but the radios stay and no android os issues.....oye.....gotta wait for the Kang!!!! Itchy fingers are not helping....

I'm not interested in stock 4.0.4, well...take that back yes I am, but I'm not flashing it yet. The overall reviews for it are quite awesome I must say though. Seen the new enhancements oh-dot-4 brings sweet! Tempting oh yeah.

I am flashing the new boot-loader and radio right now though. Had to flash something :cool:

Only way to answer that is backup and try it ;)
 
Would be great if the toggles were part of the pull down menu and I didn't have to tap the settings button to pull them up. The whole point of having it there is so it's fast
 
otter said:
Thanks but no that's what that does. Checking that just closes the toggle menu After you make your selection.

He said uncheck it. It will remain there when you close the noti bar so when you pull it down again the toggles will be present.

Right...so you open them...and then they will never close...so you don't have to tap the settings button anymore they'll just be there :)
 
Ok so I've been reading through the rootz thread...and people keep saying AOKP will get 4.0.4 when the source is dropped. Do they not realize that the CDMA Gnex is no longer AOSP, therefore the source won't be released?

" Android developers will just have to change the way they build for the Toro (Verizon Galaxy Nexus)"

Right from that there article. I know its possible, I'm just hoping it will actually be done

I'm betting the developers will find this a challenge they want to take on.
