ThemeR Studio

by CorCor67

ThemeR Studio is a series of scripts built to make the lives of Android themers using Linux easier. As a themer myself I know the kind of work that goes into putting together a quality theme. I also know the troubles it can be to set up a workspace and all the tools we use to get our work done. It bothered me how much time and effort could be wasted setting up a place to theme, when that time could have very well been spent bettering our themes.

Now, you don't need to waste that time! ThemeR Studio scripts should be easy enough for those new to Linux to use with ease. Even an auto setup option that takes care of almost everything for you.

Features include
-Auto Setup
-Downloads & Installs latest Android SDK
-Installs ApkManager
-Installs ApkOpt
-Modified ApkManager with customizable compression & optimization levels
-Modified ApkOpt with customizable compression & optimization levels
-Universal tool set
-Installation of programs needed
-Build Workspace
-Backup & Restore workspaceExport & Import of backups to DropBox
-No need to add path variables for apkopt or apkmanager!
-More to come!


Has been tested and is known to work on the following distros:
Linux Mint 10
Ubuntu 10.10

NOTE: If you use KDE you will need to download gnome terminal for these to properly work. Firefox is the browser used for some links so they won't work if you don't have it.

If you have used these on another distro please let me know if they work or not so I can add to the list

Please make sure you don't have the directory "/home/your_user_name/Android" because this is where these scripts will write to.

Disclaimer: These scripts are provided as is with no guarantees, if you choose to use them you do so at your own risk! I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses that might occur when using these scripts.

TO USE
Open the zip with your archive manager, and drag the folder "ThemeRStudio" to your desktop. Open it, double click "setup.sh" and choose "run in terminal"


Download ThemeR Studio

I put a lot of hard work and long hours into these scripts, I hope you enjoy!


When I update theses my site will be the first place to get the update its just easier keeping 1 place up to date, then I will work on getting it up to the forum as soon as I get the chance.

Enjoy!

I can attest that this script is awesome.
CorCor has put a ton of time into this, and it shows! I used it last night on a fresh linux insatall, and it was flawless.

Great work!

This is absolutely amazing man. I just recently started checking linux out since I want to try and learn more with android and getting all this set up the first time wasnt exactly a snap and I definitely didnt even have it as nicely set up, job well done sir and thank you. now all im missing is photoshop ahh well

[CorCor67]

Thanks for the compliments! Gimp is a great alternitive to photoshop, but some find it difficult to learn when use to photoshop... check out gimpshop, its a modded version of gimp to make it look and feel more like photoshop
GIMPshop.com - A GIMP hack by Scott Moschella

I actually used gimp before photoshop im bout to check that link out but the biggest thing i miss going to gimp is how in photoshop you can create custom styles(not sure if you know what im talking about, but basically a shape with all preset shadows bevels gradients and so on) anyway I may have to start just liking gimp more becuase im liking linux more and more as I learn( feel like when i first got my d1 so much to learn )

[CorCor67]

Nope never used photoshop before...used gimp in windows & linux

Please make sure you don't have the directory "/home/your_user_name/Android" because this is where these scripts will write to.

Looks like I accidentally have my directory like that. I'm lost now trying to find where everything is and uninstall this so I can redo it all and move it to my desktop. But the problem is, when you said drag the folder to the desktop, I did that, but it wouldn't go on the desktop. I'm trying to find out how to enable putting files, folders, and applications onto the desktop without it disappearing on me.

[CorCor67]

The folders put in to the /home/user-name/Android directory by the scripts are named:
android-sdk-linux_x86
ApkManager
apkopt
ROMs
ThemeProjects
ThemeSource

You will also find a folder in /home/user-name/ called .ThemeRStudioToolz when in your users directory you need to go to view>show hidden files to see it

To remove the programs installed run these commands in a terminal...

sudo apt-get remove p7zip-full
sudo apt-get remove sox
sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get remove eclipse

Should give you a clean start, I will add an uninstall script to my todo list

Wierd that you can't get anything to stay on your desktop, what distro are you using? Also what desktop environment...these were built to call gnome's terminal in a couple scripts
