Hello

I present you all my latest project related to Android, Theme: Beyond the ocean.

This project consists mainly in photoshoping the .png files all around the system, later i might introduce some new apps and make them be used as default ones, creating a pseudo rom feeling.

This is a personal theme, that i made only to fulfill MY LIKINGS, i will of course be open to suggestions, and work with the community in order to create a more friendly Theme for everyone.

This theme was inspired by Ocean3 ( by: IrealiTY ) and GlassStone ( by: mattmaso )






Attention: The theme colors are much brighter on the screen! The Screenshots show darker color effects!



Requiers:

Motorola Milestone
Android 2.1 Rooted
Android SDK
ADB recovery
My Files


How to install:

- Copy beyondtheocean and beyondtheocean.sh to your sdcard.
- Turn off your Milestone and boot it in recovery mode ( Press camera key then power up with camera key still pressed until a triangle shows up, after that press volume up button leave it pressed and repress camera button. You should now see a menu with 4 options. Done )
- Start adb recovery by installing the update.zip from your sdcard.
- Plug your usb cable to the device and run adb shell
- on adb shell easly type "sdcard/beyondtheocean.sh" and follow the script steps.
- When the script is done, reboot your device using the dpad on the recovery menu.
- Done.

Quick info:

- You can either use the Launcher.apk or the Home++.apk as your Home screen.
- Home++.apk is already complete, further changes wont be made on it, all the UI is adjusted to the theme so far.
- Launcher.apk is the main attraction at the moment, where more changes are being made.
- Chose the one you like most.
- After installing the theme with the script, your device may need 2 minutes to boot, DON'T WORRY! it is normal.

The theme will be paired with Home++ program, due to improved Homescreen and faster UI. When prompted by the system, please choose Home++ as your home instead of Launcher if you want to use Home++ only!!!! If the system doesn't ask you, go to your app drawer and run Home++ there you can set Home++ as your main Home. To turn your statusbar always visible, tap 2 times in the Notifications button. To disable all buttons from Home++ ( after making statusbar visible ) press your settings key, open preferences, power strip, and uncheck everything but Application drawer button.


( looking for some1 who can translate this all to German as my German not so good is )

Would be nice to use this with an modified Helix Launcher

Thyrus

also, whats your native language, maybe we can find a translator directly from yours to German

I will look into helix, and maybe adjust it to the theme as well, making it possible to use with 3 different launchers

I speak both, Portuguese and English perfectly, German is still at 60% i would say, I just want to provide all this info to all German users who do no speak English, that is why i am requesting for a translation So that everyone can understand the theme

just make sure the ORIGINAL launcher is included

It is, the original one from Ocean Theme, i will probably delete couple of wallpapers in there since the launcher is hugee
