Here is the release of my Orangedroid theme.
I re-did all the apks from the ground up, so there should be no problems from now on.
I will admit, however, that I have had problems in the past, and have only tried this on RC30, so use at your own risk.

Special thanks to Stericson, for helping me from the beginning.
I would highly suggest that you have Jesusfreke's Mod installed(1.31) and the dev bootloader. This theme has been testing on these, so I would reccomened using it on the same.

G1 Engineering bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
NOTE: THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
I doubt it will, but it is possible.
Simply download the file, rename to update.zip, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S. When it's done, simply reboot.
About the theme:
Colors: Orange, with white highlights
Let me know if there are any problems, comments, suggestions, etc.

awesome
thanks this looks great ive always liked orange dont know why
Wow...Android modding. Excellence!
hey does it have the 2nd bootscreen android flashing orange?
if yes then i will install it.
It has the second boot screen with an Orange colored android, but normal white glow.
And no offense, but that's kind of a lame reason to install, just for a screen you see for 10 seconds...?
Not really I already installed it cause ive been waiting for it, but i just wanted to know quicker if you did or not and I see now before me that you did.
Thank You!
Everything go okay in the install then? And what version if I may ask?
I installed version RC30 and the 2nd boot screen has orangedroid in orange letters down in the bottom and at first i catched that the droid is first green then suddenly turns orange but it stays orange overall. Theme looks stunning!
Also it went pefectly fine!!! Also side note you should add a link to the background or you should put it in the update.
Thanks. Glad it went well. As I stated in the first post, I've had my theme pulled twice, so I'm glad it is going as planned this time.
And yeah, it does flash for a split-second, because the background with the green droid and the droid I made orange are 2 different images.
As for the background, I attached it to the first post.
Okay great well you've made a great theme and I hope your proud of yourself because you should be you put in hard work!
Also I hope in the near future for you to be making more of these themes like this one but in different colors maybe? Because I love the concept of it but if you were to range from colors it would be a great thing!
confused help pleeeeease
ive got all the right stuff root, modded firmware so on but i installed this theme and everything works fine apart from the battery icon always is red with a cross when its critical when i know its full cus i checked with system monitor if i put the charger in it goes to battery icon wid the little electric sign and only a little bit full bright red, i always got this problem from the windows 7 beta theme i think soooo anyone know whats going on (i installed the right one also, rc8) confuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuused.com
That's an issue with your battery. That cross battery means that it's not holding a charge. And the charge icon with a slim bit of red proves that your battery is low. Try recharging it again, and if it still is not working right, then request a replacement.
nooope not my battery
my battery is absolutely fine because if i install the original theme it shows full green and using a app from the market called system monitor it says my battery is 100% with original theme+orangedroid
adp1
stuck at 2nd boot screen. It is a loop. adp1 version
Have you installed a theme before? A wipe or non-wipe version? What version of adp1? What does DDMS say for errors?

What version of JF ADP1? 1.2? 1.3? 1.31? Why are you running ADP1 if you're not technical? And DDMS is a diagnostic tool that came in the SDK. Reflash JF's update.zip to fix your phone.

Why not run adp1? All I had to do was install stock theme via 2nd sd card and everything works normal. I have jf 1.31 version. Also my reason for adp1 was the poll the jf had. It has less tmo branding.

what i did was download android 1.5, then downloaded super hero build and replaced files in android. then replaced again with the jackshero ski1.6. this method should give you all the files you need and also be the most stable. for me anyway. you will want to extract the resources.zip. it will make a media directory on the root of storage. then put everything else on the root of storage outside of media folder. then simply run heret.exe.

Edit your default.txt
If you want a different LCD density, add an option lcd.density=xxx after the ppp options. 160 is default, 128 was the old "hiRes". Google Maps only works at 160.
If you don't want it to connect to data, add an option ppp.nostart=1.
I dont know if everyone has this issue or only myself....
My screen seems blurry, especially on linux boot, I attempted the lcd density adjusment as per above but can not seem to get it as clear as it used to be when massey started the project.

you have to have the latest pointui installed. then enable it in today settings and then after it boots up disable it. then install the point sense suite cab. re enbable pointui in today settings. then switch themes in the pointui settings to point sense.

Do you install it to main memory? Seems like too huge for main?

just to make sure... If i want a theme- put it on sd card, rename it to update, apply update, and reboot??? It doesn't work for me. It stays stuck on the G1 screen. Does it have something to do with rom i'm using: update-cm-4.1.9.2-signed???
Just in case... Yes its rooted, I've even tried other HERO ROMS(and i have successfull), but 4 some reason I don't know how to apply a theme. And YES!! I'm a n00b.
Thanx in advance
yes your process is correct, BUT you have to make sure the theme you apply is matched with your rom. if you have cm 4.1.9.2 rom, you have to make sure you get the 4.1.9.2 compataible theme. also some themes may take up to 10 minutes to fully boot up.
-insert flame here-
the theme must be compatible with the rom like for 4.1.9.2 the theme has to be based off of the 4.1.9.2 theme template. the same goes for any rom and theme. as long as they are compatible then there shouldn't be any problems. if you want a bigger choice of themes then the stable roms are better.
but yeah, check to see if your theme is compatible with 4.1.9.2, if it isn't then that is the problem.
also you have the process correct.
This should really be in the Q&A section, it seems you haven't really read much of what themes are about. You can only flash themes made SPECIFICALLY for the rom you are running (In your case cm 4.1.9.2) Since I don't see too many themes around made for that rom, I'll assume you're flashing a theme not made for the rom this will cause the G1 screen loop.
To get back to your old system, just flash the rom OR the theme template again and you should be good to go. Next time match the theme versions with rom versions before you go flashing.

First, even though your question is about a THEME, it's still a question and should go in the Q&A section.
In response, your theme MUST be compatible with your rom. So if the theme you are trying is not CM 4.1.9.2 compatible, then you COULD get problems.
EDIT: DAMN, did it really take me so long that 4 people answered before I did? geez lol
Fast guns around here, I think he gets the point though :]
slow pokes =)
Just to clarify to further help you understand, a theme is composed of many of the same files as the original ROM. However, this time around they have been modified to look like what you see as the theme. Therefore, when you install a theme, you are actually replacing those files with the ones with different looks. That is why you need to make sure your theme is made for the ROM, because different programs and files, chances are, will not work and will result in a bootloop.
I figured I would bring this up here so developers can look in to this, and see if there really is an issue and why. I recently had a theme that worked on one phone and not on another. It would get stuck at the G1 start screen.
The only difference was that the phone that worked had haykuro's SPL that is needed to run hero ROMs, the other had the SPL with the version that ended in -3000. Both SPLs have the skating androids screen.
Both had:
Cyan 4.0.4
Cyan recovery 1.4
App2sd
I later flashed the haykuro SPL, and tried again, it worked fine.
I used a spare memory card to flash the theme, so both phones were reading the same file to apply the theme, and the same file was used after applying the new SPL and then worked.
I first posted over at Android community. here is the link just in case I forgot anything here. Hopefully I provided all the info needed.
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f7/spl-cause-theme-to-not-work-25160/
Would it be enough to just add a disclaimer to theme threads stating that SPL 1.33.2005 is required? I think that the majority has already gone over to that SPL.

Actually, I think most users of the Cyanogen mod have NOT switched over. Many of us have never loaded a Hero ROM, and maybe never will. But, I have had this problem a couple of times that the theme makers do not take the SPL issue into effect, and their theme simply will not work on a phone with HardSPL or EngineeringSPL.
Theme makers should make themselves aware of the size limitations and take them into account. Or, they should make it clear that their theme REQUIRES the Haykuro SPL. But they will be limiting their audience in that case.

Thing is, the theme was just a basic theme, it did not add any extra programs or the new launcher or anything other than cosmetic changes. The theme worked on the older builds, pre cyan 4.0, and I asked the guy to port it.

How big was the theme? Were you coming over from a different theme? Did you wipe before applying the theme? If you did wipe, did you also wipe the ext partition? Afaik most themes will fit ok on a regular phone.
Coming from stock, no wipe, theme file size 14mb.

And the size of the theme was?
Also, did your theme include any extra mods? e.g. loccy's browser, advanced launcher etc.?
I'm about to go to work, but maybe someone could run this theme through the apk optimizer from the dev thread? If not, upload it and I'll do it(not sure when that'll be).

14mb and no extras, cosmetic only. I applied the new SPL and got it running, just thought I would mention the problem so people would be aware.
some themes do add extra things into system/app and that can cause the problem
especially since cyan's roms already are near the limit (he has gone over a couple times)
so if you add just a couple of things like the HTC_IME.apk the HTCMusic.apk and some widgets to system/app it can overload it.

Well this didn't add anything like that so I don't know. Kind of sucks that not everyone can run the new SPL, and some people have issues with ROMs and themes.
The theme size was 14mb??! Most likely it was just too big for your phone. Meaning that one phone just didnt have enough space for the whole theme to fit, so the whole theme wasnt copied over which lead to a boot loop.
This is not the fault of the Dev. this is just a case where the phone with haykuros spl had more space for themes..and the other didnt.

Yeah, I don't blame the dev, just think people should be aware of the issue.
The new SPL is as easy as flashing a ROM correct? I've been trying to find out as much info on updating mine as possible before I do. I've read if done wrong, bricked phone. I've read threads that give some weird steps, that I really wouldn't think are necessary. I have the newest radio version and I already checked the PVT and I'm good to go. So to update all I would need to do is flash the new SPL right? Any special procedures I should do before I brick my phone? Thanks
Checking for PVT is the only real extra step, the rest is just like flashing a ROM. As long as you are PVT you are fine, just don't interrupt the process, unlike flashing a ROM if you mess up the SPL its bricked good.
Attention themers, I would like to (re)draw your attentions to the VillainTheme system that launched earlier this year.
Full information can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207017
Basically this is a theme system where you make your theme following the above guidelines and update.zip method and then your theme can theoretically be applied on any phone and on any rom.
This should save you a heck of a lot of time in making different versions for different things, and also means that your theme can be used by a far wider range of people.
Please give a lot of consideration to using this.
When it first launched it had quite an impact, but however since then it seems to have been somewhat forgotten, and new themers have missed it altogether.

I first realised this existed when I came to the SGS3. This is something that had been missing from the HTC desire world. I don't think anyone there knows about this.

Thanks for your contribution .
The VillanTheme system is pretty neat. Always liked metamorph and this is similar but at the flashable level.
Does the VillanTheme system back up original assets? The reason I ask is if a user flashes a villantheme that applies changes to 10 image assets. The user then flashes another villantheme that only applies changes to 5 of the 10 images that were just changed. Is the user then faced with a mix of two themes as the second theme didn't touch the other assets from the first theme?
Thanks.
thanks for theme

Heck ya. Great concept. I'll by trying this out for sure. I can't stand updating on EVERY ROM BUILD.
I've been looking for a resolution for a while now and I am still no nearer to sorting out my problem with VRT
I'm using VillianROM 1.1.0 LFB and CWM Touch 6.0.1.0. I do exactly this:
Copy zip from PC to phone storage (not external SD card)
Reboot into Recovery.
Clear Cache partition
Clear Dalvik cache
Flash zip from internal SD
Everything is reported as being successful.
Reboot... nothing changes. This is with Vertumus VRT Jelly Bean Domination (which others report as working fine).
The strange thing is, I already have JB Domination flashed on this exact ROM, yet when I tried a clean install (cleared System, data, cache adn preload, etc, in CWM) and installed VillainROM from CWM, booted, set up, rebooted to recovery and flashed JB Domination, it doesn't work.
So, I have a Nandroid backup where it has worked, but now doing a fresh install it doesn't work. And also, on my Nandroid backup (which I use now daily) it doesn't work at all.
No VRT theme will flash to my phone
EDIT:
I've also tried mounting /system and /data before flashing.
seshmaru.... where are ruuuu?
Excellent work guys...
Any chance to update the scrip to make it compatible with CWM 6.0.1.2?
Work well with new recovery.
