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

[sickmuse]

y2kss66, your theme is absolutely perfect! you've introduced a new level of customization that was never before seen on the likes of devices in the Voyager and enV series!

I downloaded a SWF Editor, in attempt to create my own theme, however, the entire program could be described as....beyond me.

I think that for now, the best themes would be those that emulate the layout of other popular devices; Windows Vista theme, Blackberry theme, Mac OSX theme; there are tons of possibilities.

If anyone is interested in making such themes, I'd love to help in any way possible, whether its finding images and / or designs.

I think these themes have a lot of potential!

so hey..i;m not sure if i asked this before lol but will there eventually be a way to simply add themes, rather than replace the current blue one?

[themopedwhiz]

that is a great big 'UNKNOWN'

it would mean finding a way to reference them, if the programing choice is in the FW, then it can't be changed, without cooking/creating a NEW ROM OS
something that has NOT been done with a verizon BREW-OS feature phone,
AFAIK.... ( nobody has claimed the ability to it, or publicly shown any examples of doing it.)

Thanks for all of the compliments!

damn...i mean, all these themes look AWESOME....but it's like, you have to just choose ONE, then when you want a new one, pick that one and put it on. i really hope all you hacker guys can figure out how to be able to add them all into the phone! but other than that, great work so far, atleast you're getting somewhere, ya know?? i'm sure it'll be in no time before someone gets it!

Im so happy you were able to hack these themes, I just ordered the Env Touch and tomorrow im gonna load it up with these custom themes!!!

Keep hacking away.


Im hoping you all can customize all menu's Soon, but the main Menu's are definately a great start!!!

I really like the Slick black theme that verizon has on the Voyager, if someone is able to create that one I would be so greatful!

I decided against the Blackberry, the Pre, and the Iphone for this baby.

Its 2 years for me, a long ride I have never done before, but its worth it!

you are much more acquainted with phone software than me, but i'm assuming that the answer would be more of an "UNLIKELY" than an "UNKNOWN"

considering no one has figured out how to add flash games besides replacing the tip calc, world clock, and animated backgrounds, we can assume that no one will figure out how to do this either. to me its the same concept.

i'd love to be proven wrong though

Who makes the themes?
Can someone make me a custom theme?
I'd be willing to pay.

Blue Grunge




Green Grunge




Purple Grunge




Still no icons so you'll have to use the default ones. but if requested I'll make them

I would like to see color coordinated icons to go along with the themes if it's not too much trouble..

I put the themes together and kevnrussl makes most of the graphics, except on my iPhone one.

your right its EXTREMELY UNLIKELY, but i said Unknown, because who knows ? there is a minuscule chance

so if i edited the pics in your flickr account, you can compile them as an swf?

i would for sure love it if it could happen

I haven't tried these on my demo Touch (since it isn't mine), but has anyone looked into making a replacement theme for Modern Retro? The thing that bugs me about the Blue Inspiration is the way it divides icons into 3 sections and you have to move them around. I find the Modern Retro theme faster, since it shows all the menu icons at once, and you can "swipe" between sub-menus (which the Blue Inspiration theme can't).

[mooler]

wondering if there is a way to change the internal screen theme...its not flash so Im sure its not possible without some hex editing. Ive been looking at the filesystem and i cant seem to find anything related to the internal theme. If anybody has luck finding it, let us know!

I don't think so, the Blue Inspiration is the only .swf in the folder. It looks as if it was added later to the brew. Where Im sure you might be able to find the icons to the Modern retro but its as if the verizon firmware was built from it.
