Finally after much beta testing and making sure everything works as it should, I think I finally have a release version. The Auto Browser is enabled but you must remove the Browser.odex before using the browser to keep auto rotate going. To do this open Terminal Emulator and get root access, then type in rm /system/app/Browser.odex Again, I did not design the initial icons, I got the source for the icons from dene at www.superevildesign.com off his deviant art page, originals here: http://skm-industries.deviantart.com/art/CarbonSOURCE-PSD-87588028
who was kind enough to give me permission to use it for my theme.
Looking for ideas on the color of the status bar as well as a default wallpaper. All default icons have been replaced with this theme.

Theme http://cid-4a44cb45d6e338f8.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/update.zip
update with new superuser no more browser.odex file
update for rc33
I changed the status bar, added 3 new wallpapers (3 variations of one design) notification date is now white, and changed the menu icons. These changes are only going into the new rc33 version, with the number of changes made, rc33 lite is needed or you'll need to have removed removed the media folder from system already

Icons look cool, i think i a lighter background would look nice.
For the notification bar definatlely something transparent.
yeah the background is one I had downloaded, would love some ideas for what to use as the default. and I like the idea of a transparent status bar with a lighter background, I would also like to make the icons on the music player larger somehow
i like the background, but i think you need to(well, you probably know) change the icons up top in the notifcation bar like battery and whatnot to match the theme.
I LOVE it!!!! Keep it up and release it!!!!! Please make sure that browser icon worksa for both reg browser and auto-rotate version from Koush. I've heard that it can be a problem somtimes. Overall it looks great. Can't wait to see it released.

Yeah, I use the auto rotate browser so it will be included in the release version for sure
You did a great job on the (dare I say) iphone-ish icons. It's too bad we can't make a truly transparent taskbar because this would look excellent with one.
Looks great! keep it up.
Looks great! I cant wait to see the finished product.
Really nice, one of the best so far. I love the icons!
Wow, great theme. Hope you keep it up and release it.
That is tight as hell, great job man cant wait till it comes out!!
Here is the Kspec Karbon theme with Carbon glow icons
PM jdwme if you want to be a beta tester
dang that was fast! Not all the icons are ready yet, I needed it put into a theme to test out my apk files so I can see if anyone else was having the same issues I am. Anyone who tries this let me know if it causes problems with your phone receiving calls.
Looks really good bro let me see what i can do for a wallpaper for this.

Thanks, can't wait to see what you come up with. wallpapers are my weak point I guess lol. When I first started with the icons I had a wooden one on there but it just didn't flow
awesome work. When this is released it's going to be a hard choice on which theme to run. The icons are very nice!
that is a hot theme man. can't wait until you release it.
i definately like that theme, keep up the good work
Can we get the tab transparent and get the clock (top right)to glow or able to remove it??
Otherwise it looks real tight.
Hi Guys
For all that are unfamiliar with BUUF, it is a set of icons made for the desktops. Hopefully i recreated this experience to our beloved Android. All icons are courtesy of its creator Mattahan, the battery was supplied by Mr. Stylo and the clock was made by Rontz. Everything else by me 8) I really hope you guys enjoy this as I have put in quite a lot of time. Up to date we have 550+ icons changed in this theme and these pics really dont reflect the extensive amount of makeover it has gone through. I want to thank Stericson for giving the community and myself a great new hobby. Necromancer for his ubuntu theme which inspired me and everyone should go d/l it 8) Last but not least, Dave the illest for originally supplying the update.zip and the tools necessary to create my first release. Latest build is built from the ground up. If you use any of my icons go right ahead as long as you give me credit 8)
7/9 Sorry guys its been almost 5 months since i last updated this thing. Been so busy with work and now that I'm finally happy with a stable build out there, I decided to finally start porting this thing over. This has only been tested on Cynogen's build 3.6.5 You guys can test it on other builds at ur risk. 8) This is not a full change over as I have done previously in JF builds. I will continue to release new revisions as i have time to update the current icon set. This update may also require that you are running apps2sd as the update file is fairly large. I havent tested it on a non apps2sd build yet so someone can let me know. For now it will only be one color. as the theme gets more complete, I'll release new colors. Ok enjoy 8)
Cynogen 3.6.5

i'm diggin your theme dthadamaja! keep up the good work... i'm installing as we speak
Very Nice Bro.
this is slick....
Well there goes my theme idea...
I kid, I kid.
Nicely done.
looks great. this is going to be the first custom theme i put on my g1
WOW! I was gonna request or BUUF or a GANT theme. This looks amazing! I didn't plan on doing a custom theme but I think you just changed my mind!

I'm working on a theme using the icons from GANT (actually GACK, the OS X version of GANT since it uses PNG icons) if dthadamaja doesn't beat me to it
I'm almost done with all the icons, but I still need to add resources like the tab, status bar, battery icons, wifi, a bootscreen, etc. I'm starting from the default RC30 so it won't have any elements of the Windows 7 theme in it, but it will probably have a lot of the default stuff...
I'll make a new post when I'm done, but it will probably end up looking a lot like this since GANT and BUUF are highly similar (but GANT has a bit more gloss to it)
i like this theme alot !1.. keep up the good work
This theme is great! love the flashing.... uuummm alien?? idk what it is but cool. By the Way.... how did u get a game folder?
Installed the theme with no issues..
Some of the icons are a bit blocky (calendar, browser bookmarks, refresh, etc) though. I hope these get fixed as it moves out of beta.
Great job!

Sweet I had my TyTN II all GANT'ed up so this would make my G1 that much better! Can't wait for a release
hey how did you change the unlock pattern for the theme? where were those files located?
is it just in the framework.res folder? and you either tweak the icons given or replace them with your own personal image?
im tryna grasp the whole concept of the phone, im making a theme as well
wanted to try and edit everything, why not, unlike others i have a lot of free time this term in school, so why not
also you said u used the "windows-step by step" instructions to sign and create your app? i am having troubles with the signing of the apk
I was soooooo waiting for the black and white theme but you have renewed my love for GANT. Manhattan the kid that came up with these icons is amazing. I think he was 13 at the time he created the first GANT theme.
Installing as I type DD
okay...so for me this won't boot past the G1 screen...
oddly, i tried reupdating to deepblack and after the alt+s process this themes icons came up....
well, anywho....nice theme
No clue what BUUF is, but this theme is awesome looking. Downloading/Installing as I type this.

BuuF is the name of the icon pack. Go to deviantart.com and type in buuf or gant
very nice work! Like the lock screen! Keep it up!

Thank you for your hard work, im loving this theme!!!
BUILD YOUR OWN THEME
Ok folks, here it is, a change to make your own theme. As cool as I think I am, I bet you guys have some pretty good ideas for themes so Im making this a cooking thread for your own person recipes.
These are the ingredients I need:
- Build type, RC30 and ADP1 are preferred but I can make RC8 as well
- Icon pack, you can find any group of icons to use in an size, this means application icons, status bar icons, just anything you want but you have to supply it
- Image for the status bar in portrait and landscape.
So ya, I am kinda figuring this out as I go so post what you want made into a theme and I will see what I can do.
You rock!! I gather a list for ya and post it soon.

This is a pretty cool idea, though I suspect you're gonna get absolutely flooded with requests
If you need files sizes or types let me know or ask and Im sure a bunch of people can answer.
You do know there are requests for themes here.
You can start with a few of those
gucci theme
i dont really have any real ingredients as you put it jus diff icons and use the gucci colors
Well I was hoping it would be more for the people who know exactly what they want and dont know how to put it together than just the people coming up with new ideas. So if you know you you want my carbon fiber status bar, with the silver status icons from Blue Star 5 and defaults icons with one of your own, I could take those things and make a theme out of them in like 30 minutes.
Just close this thread if you would rather me pick it up in the other thread.
What you stated is exactly what i had in mind. Ill pm with my "wishlist and icons" and we can go from there.

I really like your Karbon theme, id like the status bar just grey like deep black, your status icons , and this battery meter. is this possible?
http://www.filehosting.org/file/deta...parannoyed.rar
Not sure but i think i saw that icon set on deviant art. might want to take a look.
The status icons from Karbon are great, just the batt meter change.
here are a few icons id like included:
D3ath star=settings
Kerry King guitar=my music
internet=browser
email=email
not sure if you are changing the settings context (menu key menu) with pics
craniac=dialer
flame=messaging
book=contacts
I have an idea....this is gonna get carried away lol
Place all pics in a zip folder with a text file directing what should get done and upload a zip ONLY.

Im building it now, I assume you want RC30 right? And if you can get those icons as PNG files with transparent backgrounds it would be best, if not I can see what I can do.
And just to confirm, the status bar in a dark color will make it so you cant see the text, if thats fine its fine with me.
To respond to Mikey1022, would it also be ok to host them on a site like photobucket and link the pic in the post or would you prefer zip files?
Theme ic iconsons

I would just say use your own judgement. If someone will look at the theme and be instantly reminded of another one you pulled from you might want to give a lot of credit to it, but if it was just a platform to start with and its mostly your own creation I would just mention who the theme came from. Just think about it as if it was your theme being used by someone else. Personally its a huge compliment.
you are right perhaps the light grey status bar from macdroid would be better.
Yes RC30, sorry for the lack of info.
I am really contemplating dual booting fedora or mandriva, to better acquaint myself with this stuff.
Ya, I was going to do it with this one but it was way too dark until we can change font colors.
good call, i hope you guys will have access to changing font color soon.
Thanx for doin this, til i force myself to figure it out on my own.
Just for everyone's knowledge, these icons are not my creation. I have collected them over the last year or so from different icon packs mainly downloaded from deviantart. this is mainly a personal theme, that i find appealing for me to look at.
I have veered away from the Tool theme, and made this just a straight Red and Black theme. The clock is the only thing left of the Tool aspect.
As always, this could possibly brick your phone, so it's not responsibility if you do, etc.
This has been updated to work with JFv1.41 and includes the multi-touch browser.
RC30 only. If someone wants to port it to RC8 and/or ADP1, go for it.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?x21yz49xzmq
Version 2: Updated for JFv1.41, and camera issue fixed.
Pics:
1. Main screen. Shows the clock, and pull tab.
2. Icons and highlighted pull tab.
3. Landscape, Google search, folder icon, and highlighted icon.
4. Music player colors.
5. Trash tab.
6. Curtain transparency and bottom.
7. The wallpaper I am using, in case someone wants it.
8. Another wallpaper that fits very well with this theme.
Questions, comments, bugs? Let me know.
I think the front cover image on the "Opiate" cd would make a pretty cool wallpaper.
cant wait! one of my favorite bands aswell. im still waiting for a metallica theme
looks good
Finally a nice red and black theme i cant wait for it
Love the TOOL idea, one of the greatest bands ever
Now this is a theme I can use.
New clock is okay but the one in the first pic is my favorite.
Keep it up!

Bump for release. 1-25-09 2:06AM Central time
And sorry wergeld, but I liked my new clock better. Much simpler, and easier on the eyes. Especially for someone who isn't a fan of Tool artwork.
Ha, no worries on the clock. I am going to get this!
Another idea to try: using the "Eye" as the menu tab.
Great job all around. 2 of my 2 thumbs up!
wergeld
Is there a method posted for converting a theme from RC30 > ADP1
Please post a screenshot of your theme. ty

Sorry, but as the first post says, I have veered away from Tool, and made this just a Red/Black theme. A Tool theme in my mind, and will be made, just not quite yet.
Also, updated for JFv1.41 as of 1-25-09 11:30PM Central Time

Awww, I was loving the **** out of the application tab you had for the lateralus eye, any change of adding that to a quick modded version? Was my favorite part
I dig the new clock, but I am with tehseano about the menu slider. Even the aenima tv flame would be cool.
Great job and I know a lot of peeps are looking foward to a tool theme.
This is now my theme.

I liked the pull tab as well, but as I said in the main post, I wanted to make a universal Red/Black theme. Also as I said, a completely Tool-centric theme is in the works. And I have a lot of homework to do tonight, but if I get the time, I'll make a quick change and replace the Lateralus pull tab and upload a version for that.

Thank you very much! And I'll still be awaiting that tool theme whenever you do finish it, keep up the great work!
For anyone that has downloaded this theme, please go download it again. I updated the file, because of a camera issue I just caught. This new one fixes it.
wont extract!!
Hey, ive been trying to get this theme, i can download it just fine, but when i try to extract the files it tells me it failed to extract ALL the apps and folders and says the path is invalid...all it ends up coming up with is the apps.file, framework.file, and the META-INF folder. Everything elses gets thrown out. Im running Windows Vista 32-bit and using win-rar to extract...i dont get it! ive downloaded several other themes and they all came out just fine...help!
It's just the way it's packed. If you extract the .apks directly, it works. But may I ask why you are extracting them anyway? If you want to flash it to your phone, you don't need to extract it. If you are going to modify my files, use the above method, but give me some credit if you use it in another theme
Just curious if anyone knows if there is, or if there are plans for, a sense ROM with aosp theming?
When I was on the note 2, there was a couple TW roms that had this. It would be my ideal ROM.

coming from the sg3/sg4, where all I ran was my ROM with AOSP themed TW.
I have been wanting to make an AOSP theme, but would be very difficult. Best theme out there is for EclipticOne Hawks dark inverted theme.
I have plans to kang that basically and make it gray inversion, basically the same but instead of all black backgrounds they will be the HTC Sense gray color that some of the backgrounds already are, for ex. favorites in the dialer.

That actually is the easiest part..
That is just replacing the .png images in the SystemUI.apk
Matching the pop ups, and the rest of the .png images in the hard part, then finding all the colors in all the different .xml files it's ridiculous how much time these things take. I worked with the best themer on the sg4 he was working blind with me to get the aosp theme and we got it about 90% done, but WOW, what a PITA..
I will work on a SystemUI.apk for you as that's easy and actually usually the first thing that can be worked on.
No idea when I'll get to this, not sure if I'll wait for 4.3 to drop or not either, cos an android upgrade like 4.2.2 to 4.3 should be quite different.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a full blown aosp theme!! But those are some of the things that initially bug me.
Thanks for offering to do this!! Whenever you get to it is cool. This is the main reason I love the Android community!
