enV Touch Theme Hacking and How-to Guide (Updated 7/11/09)

So after you guys finalize this whole thing will it be hard for us users to setup/install the new themes in our phones? How would that work?

It seems like you would just replace a theme in the phone using bitpim

yep michigan mobile is right.

I know I also think that the theme would mesh with the stamp theme well, but I can't seem to find the stamp theme in the firmware, give me some time though.

If someone could, find a picture of the metal dock on the bottom screen of the iPhone without icons on it?

I was going to take a screenie of my ipod touch's dock for you, but then I realized that my ipod has a custom, clear, reflective dock on it. I think this would look a lot better in my opinion, but I dont know if you'd be able to do it so you can see the wallpaper underneath...

could you like set it back to the default and then take a picture of it with no icons on it?

[jayochs]

idk if anyone agrees.....but i think that the postage stamp theme, with the colors of the blue theme, would look awesome....cuz the brown/orange gets kinda weird lol reminds me of haloween/fall too much haha..i think with blue colors itd be sweet

[Pfonk]

i hope you guys make some more themes.. this phone only has two themes and my girl doesnt like them so much... i wish you guys luck.. hope to see some themes on here so to download...

My iPod is being really annoying right now, and won't let me send emails (to send myself the pictures). I have the screenies though, it's just a matter of when i'll be able to send them.

EDIT: Got em! Although, I just realized that my icon names were still off, hope you don't mind?

My theme with the background AND the transparent, reflective dock.


Reflective transparent dock only


Normal theme


Empty dock: this is what you wanted right?

[y2kss66]

thanks for the empty dock!

[darkimpact]

No problem. Here to help (without having any graphic design skills haha)

Here is a much improved version of the iPhone theme with a new font and dock/home button.

this will be fully usable once we get write access to the phones filesystem via bitpim if we don't have so already lol.

we do. i successfully got access to the filesystem in bitpim on the vx10000 (voyager) setting and replaced ez tip calc and world clock with some flash games. seems to me the themes should work the same way


nice job on developing this

[y2kss66]

no problem i am attempting to write this theme to my phone now if it works I will post another youtube video of it running on the phone.

no problem i am attempting to write this theme to my phone now if it works I will post another youtube video of it running on the phone.

the only downside of this is from what i understand, only the existing themes can be replaced.... ie, you are still limited to 2 themes at a time on these phones. with the potential for having many themes developed in the near future, this could become unfortunate very quickly.

IT WORKED! Video and File release coming very soon.
