Hey all.
For a while now I've been tinkering around with icons and wallpapers and stuff for Android and the G1/Dream, but I've never put it all together to make a theme of my own.. so I thought I'd change that. I'm calling this theme MonoChrome 1.0, and it is currently ADP1 and RC30 compatible.
Have an ADP1 or RC30 and wanna try the theme out? You'll find the download links and instructions near the bottom of this post.
** UPDATE 01/19/2009: All the default system icons added, wallpaper/dock tweaked, changed a few transparency settings. New screenshots below. **

Oh, and credits goes out to brandenk and his Kspec theme from which I borrowed parts of the theme.

Looks great I think. But on the second picture the "dock" looks a little to white to me.

The Market icon, you mean? Yeah, I agree, the droid needs to be a few shades darker. I'll fix that later on tonight, or tomorrow.
Oh and thanks for the input, it's very valuable because you tend to stare yourself blind on your own theme.
No the market icon looks alright. I was talking about that white shade behind the icons at the bottom of the screen. I think it is a little to white. It looks perfect in the top picture but for some reason in the bottom it looks to white. I am not sure why since it is the same picture. You might not need to do anything to it. It just pulls my eyes off the icons into the negative space of the background.

Ah, now I get it. I could try to make the "dock" slightly darker. I'll try that, it's like a two minute job, tops.
**edit**
How does this look? I decreased the luminance and added a bit more texture instead.
the darker "dock" looks a lot better imo. btw great looking theme. i was never too fond of all the other themes so this might be my first theme i install. also, not sure if you would be willing to or if anyone else agrees, since the theme is dark i think colored icons with the same black background you have now would look awesome.

The darker dock does look better, I'll stick with that one. As for your icon request, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit?

Ah, I see. Well that's pretty nice actually, though bright colors are not for me; I tend to prefer the desaturated look. However, as soon as I release this theme people are free, encouraged even, to modify and improve on it as they see fit.
looks amazing, can't wait for this
OP updated with new screenshots. Icons added, graphics tweaked.
Looking good! And I love seeing you guys use my theme as a building block, it really is an honor.
I owe my thanks to Stericson for helping me create my first theme and letting me use his theme as a building block for mine.
Great. This is the best theme I've seen yet.
Download links and instructions added to the first post of the thread, for those of you wanting to try it out. Compatible with ADP1 only as of now.

That's a good question. I am not sure, but I figure I will have to transfer all the custom png's from my ADP1 theme to the correct RC30 apk's. I might do that tomorrow if I feel up to it.
Awesome
I love it great work i hope you continue. thanks
i'll test this for RC30 and i'll let you know it goes
edit: so far it's working perfectly!
the only thing i've noticed is the notifications pane background isn't transparent like in the screenshots, but i can live with that
also, can you upload the background you used in the screenshots please? the theme didn't come with it.

Oh, sweet! I did the port last night when I was so tired I didn't know what I was doing, so it's nice to hear it's working on RC30 too. Thanks for trying it out.
Here's the wallpaper.

Install instructions
Make sure you have JFv1.4x ADP1.1, RC30, RC33, ADP1.1h, RC8 or RC9 installed before you try to use this theme.
Download file from one of the above links.
Rename file to update.zip
Transfer file to the root catalog of your SD card.
Disconnect ExtUSB cable and shut phone down.
Press Home + Power to start the phone up in Recovery Mode/JFv1.4x.
Once booted into JFv1.4x press Alt + S to install.
When install is complete press Home + Back to reboot.
Cross your fingers and wait. If all goes well Android ought to be up and running my theme within a minute.
Notes: This theme has been tested on two JFv1.41/ADP1.1 phones, at least one RC30 and one RC33 G1 without any major issues, but I am NOT to be held responsible if your phone for some reason gets bricked in the process. ADP1.1h version also tested and confirmed working on one ADP1. RC8 and RC9 confirmed working.
Icons. Some of them are missing/"unskinned", I know. I left some of them out on purpose because I could not find any good icons for them and I was too sick of this theme to make my own.
If you want to improve/change this theme then by all means go ahead. There are lots of things that can be improved and if you want to have a go at it I won't mind, quite the opposite actually. Sharing is caring, right?
Special thanks goes out to doooshty and dom2684 who both helped me with beta testing and feedback and found a few bugs/errors prior to release.
Love it so far!
Can you get rid of the thumb slider dealio or perhaps steal the thumbprint icon... maybe just make it translucent?
Looks good, I will check my icon folder at home and see if something would work

If you can figure out the source of the icons in this theme or perhaps borrow them they might fit nicely. Vintage War
Beautiful theme
I'm loving it, can't wait till its release. My ADP is going to rock this new theme with pride.
Idea for the tab:
If you've seen or played Silent Hill I'm sure you're well aware of the creature know as Pyramid Head. I think it would be awesome to take his head and make it the tab. Just a thought. Hell, it would be awesome if you could go from a cleaner theme and at a certain time have the whole thing fall apart into some nightmarish alternate theme. Long ways from that but fun to imagine, right?
Best theme preview I have seen yet.

Yes I had dropped a hint to manup456 that if he was looking for a new idea I would LOVE a steampunk theme...if this one keeps going as it is, I may not have to wait
I am not a big fan of skins, however if gelaskins.com made this one available for the G1 I might have to purchase it...
https://www.gelaskins.com/skins.php?Skin=138&Category=30 or https://www.gelaskins.com/skins.php?Skin=192&Category=25
I love the looks of this. i love the vintage war icons, and would like a transparent clock and app tab. other then that. it is a winner!
Added RC9 version - 03/10/2009 - New version that will hopefully fix the issue with "unskinned" items (clock, icons etc).

Good to hear! I might come knocking on your door in a few days then
I will happily test this theme when it is ready (or almost) ready.
Sadly I don't think this can be done the right way. I was able to do the same thing with the status bar but it was a placebo effect. You'll be stuck with the same wallpaper. If anyone is willing to prove me wrong I'll be happy for it, as I got lots of ideas I would like to try but stopped due to this hurdle. Good luck in getting this to work.
P.S. the clock looks absolutely awesome.
sure ill take a crack at customizing this theme further.... send me a .zip to [email protected]

Unfortunately you are absolutely correct. I'll just have to go for a sort of a dimmed status bar that'll look transparent but really isn't. Sigh. Why do you torment us like this, Android developers?
The clock does look good, and at least with that one we don't have to fake the transparency effect
I might do a bunch of status bars with different colors; one whiteish, one black, one red, one blue, one brown, etc. That way at least you could get the color of the status bar to decently match any wallpaper you might use. Of course that also means you would have to re-flash the phone every time you changed the wallpaper to something with a different general color.
Hum, I wonder, would it be possible to make a special update.zip containing only the framework apk? I mean, everything else ought to be left intact then, right? An install would be very speedy, just seconds, when all that is needed is an update of the framework. No apps, launcher etc to be reinstalled.
Thoughts?

Yeah, I've done it with individual apps that way too, but never with the framework apk that is in a different folder than the apps for some reason. I thought it might be different with the framework because of that, but it really should not be. Good to know it's doable though, thanks for confirming!
Pretty cool idea, does this mean it wont show your service? wifi service, battery level etc? I wasn't sure if that was just a mockup you made in photoshop or it will really be that blank
I like the transparent grayscale idea though. looks promising!

Oh, all status bar icons and such will be there once it's done. Though preferably they will be redesigned to fit the glossy theme better than the default ones.
If you can realize this theme like the concept you showed, it will be a most impressive theme. Even the concept is absolutely beautiful.
If we can figure out how to get rid of the black bar at the top when we make transparent status bars this theme would be able to take advatage of it
O.k i have never tried the transparent bar but i think there is two one in drawable an drawable-land the one in drawable-land is black did you try making both of theme clear? Then again there is a lot of stuff thats in the .xml that might be stopping the process. I would ask the .xml doctor to see if thats the case.
I never tried and haven't asked about it. After the announcement of a new update I decided to hold off on any themes
Yeah I know I think ill hold of on Code_Name_Ninja until then.
I've got two on the burner waiting to be moved to update files and ideas for others, it's just so time consuming lol

qft's? what's that mean? seriously, I'm lost lol
8:55PM 02-09-09
I made this up with photoshop, but all of the files are packed and ready to go... this is just to show everyone my work.... my first attempt at installing the theme was unsuccessful, so i cant post an update as of yet (UPDATE coming real soon!!) Hope this is something that is likeable for any who was looking for red.
1:05AM 02-11-09
I got the theme past tmobile g1 screen, i attached the new screenshot to show a sample icon as well as the menu tab and clock for version 1. Continuing with the rest of the icons and files. Release is looking closer, well sooner
3:00AM 02-11-09
Icons loaded, but need resizing AGAIN!!! damnit... made icon color brighter add a gloss to all icons and made the clock more transparent
12:11PM 02-12-09
I created a mockup of what my version 2 of the red theme will look like, screenshot on page 2... if you check closely i resized the "Alarm Clock" image, this is as large as i can get the icons without exposing the square dimension limit, which would cut off the embroidery design around the icons... untill i find a new solution i can post the small icons and the slightly larger icons in 2 updates... depending on feedback
3:10PM 02-13-09
After many trials of finding a legitimate icon size, i finally found something that keeps the design around the button visible.. uintill i can figure out what looks better, but Version 2 will be coming SOON.. then more updates within the system icons and clocks etc... download and rename to update.zip, turn off phone, hold HOME + POWER and then Alt + S. Should have a red boot screen!! HAS BEEN TESTED BY ME
3:28PM 02-20-09
Updated this theme to be compatible with JFv1.42, if you wish to update your theme, just recheck the download links
What I did:
Took the wallpaper from teknotiq's theme and added more red in it...
Changed every stock icon on RC33, as far as Alarm Clock - Youtube..
Added my custom menu tab, sorry thats not meant to be arrow... it wont switch and point down
Changed the status bar to have more red and black
What I could have done:
-light red icons
- clear center icons (red outlining)
- black outter, inner red glow icons
- different wallpaper (UPDATED)
***credit to dryicons.com for the icons, via deviantart.com
Updates:
-status icons, unlock screen, possibly some .9pngs, and more inner functional icons changed to red
RC33 JF v1.42 compatible
New Screenshots - UPDATED 02-13-09 - VERSION 1

im eagerly awaitng this release
Wow thats rad! Can't wait to see a release ^_^
second wall looks alot better
The second one is tight... but the icons are a lil TOO much red =/ jus my 2 cents
well a couple of people requested to see a different type of clock, although there will be a traditional clock release....
but here go some things i just made... let me kno which one you like...
looking for some non traditional crazy hands for these clocks as well
2 deeper red icons
and possible hands to use as examples on these two clocks
good work, looking forward to this

im shooting for this week, for at least the initial drop, then more tweaks over the weekend... if i don't feel lazy ill try to drop numerous versions with of this theme with different clocks....
then later on i might switch up the icons, same look, but maybe the middle is cut out and clear, or the red would be a lighter red, or idk

yeah we are in a tornado warning until 9... it was just winter... wtf??? lol
Ohio weather sucks! go from snow to freezing ice to rain to tornado in less than a week.... why did i come here??? lol
here is one last wallpaper type, i was thinking with all of the black and red i could make SAW3-6 theme... lol but i found this bloody keyboard so i thru this together, still working on the red theme, almost there now... id say a day or two
check out the clock transparency...!!
wow, i think i timed the screenshot at the half second between the two clocks... cus they shud be identical right?
menu tab is clear (er) than it seems, when on screen
wow this is really nice, red is my favorite color too, keep it up
as i was working i stumbled along what i want to set as version 2, hopefully of many if i have tha time... but my look is for the same red theme, but for those of you that would enjoy clear icons... well "cookie-cut-out" icons..
check out of the mockups.. one shows u my edits, made by PicSay via G1
theme released and posted on first page, today...
post feedback and suggestions
i like this theme is it compatible with JFV1.43 ADP1.1H???
My second G1 theme, first to be posted. This one just started because I liked the icons a lot. Just wanted to see how well they look in a theme
Still going through all the tiny little images I have to mess with. Just adding some icons and mostly all of the notifications are complete. Kept the default notification images, but changed the color to match.

Holding this space for other updates, and to point out that I somehow included two Alarm Clocks in the screenshot..doh.
Looks very nice. Black and red goes great together.
Well, not too long after I posted this, I found SleekDroid theme by crys|s, which is using the same Icon Set (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3425909 ) so I may abandon the project out of courtesy.
I even commented on that theme that I had found the icons as well, but I suppose it slipped my mind when I made this quickly. Damn.

No offense to crys|s, just my personal opinion.. I like where you are going with this theme more then that of SleekDroid theme.. I don't think it is horrible to have the same icon set with a different direction.
Feel free to do whatever you want prash, even if I didn't want you to continue there isn't any REAL action I could take against you to stop you.... unless I decided to do something crazy like, oh I dunno, get your IP and find your personal information and leave you angry messages. I'm not that kind of person though, I'm much nicer.
Haha crys|s, thanks..Coming from theme making on other devices, I just figured not everyone would be too happy seeing stuff they used on other themes, so I was going to discontinue it if you had an issue with it.
Alright so its back on track then I'll work on it some more when I get a chance today. Screenshots coming up.

BTW, ITS ORANGE NOW.
RC33 1.42 ONLY.
Sorry folks, don't know how to port yet...haven't really looked and no one's really told me
Enjoy!
Battery'Wifi etc...need work and the top bar is a bit Orange not Red,other than that it's a great rip off Oops...lol... sorry great theme.
I knew it would only be a matter of time until prash started messing with the G1 as he was phenomenal with the sidekick, great work and thanks.
sup prash this is daltn, not bad of a theme but not my type
Since a lot of people were getting distracted with the EXPLOSION of orange in the original screenshots due to my choice in wallpaper, I added the following screenshot, showing what the theme looks like with any other wallpaper you may have. Still orange but not so much that it scares you from the theme itself.
Still looks decent on different wallpapers.
sweet. i reason for me to finally go up to v1.42.
SkyTech wall i made
here a wallpaper i made for this theme
SkyTech City
Black SkyTech
Wow thanks xFOCUSEDx for sharing those walls, I just tried them out and they both look really great. I especially love the black skytech one. Great job :]
If you really want to match the orange color on the middle part of the first one, try a hue/saturation filter set to 'colorize' at 20 hue 100 saturation..thats what I used for most of the orange on then initial theme. I tried it, and it gave me some pretty good results.

No wonder the icons are so over saturated, hurts to look at. It's not bad though.
Here's a quick pointer, instead of over saturating the entire image to make just the red parts orange, try selecting the red parts with the polygon selection tool and then using the hue/saturation adjustment.
Yeah, I meant to run the hue/sat on the middle part, I should have been more clear on that, thanks Crys.
Also if you set the mode of the hue/sat layer to multiply or any of the others, it gives you some really cool effects as well.
love this theme prash but i love the color red and was curious is there anywhere i could download this theme in red like you had before? Thanks

The red version was never available for download, it was a rough draft that I abandoned when I found out someone else was using the red icons in their theme. I'm not sure if I'll be porting this theme over to newer roms but who knows I tend to play around with icons and themes all the time.

My sister and roomate's wife extend their thanks. Its hard finding good themes for girls.
im fixin to release an update i found a problem with that one
its very nice...dont get me wrong...but my sister tells me that she is looking for something elegant...whimsical if you will...something that can remind her of those "green" toyota prius commercials if you know what im saying...modern maybe?
but this is nice too...it will def have an audience
My sister would love this. Hopefully we can get the updated version
Fixed- Link has been put back up
funny how men usually assume that if it's pink or hello kitty women will like it (or that men won't). With that said, looks good, but are the screenshots anything to go by? because the pink looks kind of smeared, and I'm hoping it's just a compression artifact. I'll try this and see

Was not an assumption. This was to fulfill a woman's request.
And those are artifacts theme much better on phone.
yeah, i just saw that. I did notice one thing though, you seem to be missing a boot screen, all I get is a white screen at boot (i applied with no wipe on top of cm397)
take this as constructive criticism as that's the way i intend it. The pink coloring is fine, but it feels like you over-did it. Not everything has to be shaded pink, then it looks like you drowned your phone in cool-aid. It's nice to have the original look with some accents (like, coming from tehseano's theme, change only the buttons, progress bars, and only the green accented parts to pink)
Last, a problem i mentioned to tehseano but he never corrected. The app tray open/close arrow comes slightly off (1 pixel) when morphing from the open to the close one and viceversa. To fix it, just knock i pixel off the top from the down arrow and one pixel off the bottom of the up arrow (or the other way around, i dont remember))
Thanks for the heads up and ideas. I am going to post a boot image update. But a full update will be later. I will pass along the arrow info.
Boot screen fix.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123214722/96eea374/heroine_bootscreen_patch.html
fix for bootscreen.
@jubeh: Idea for you. If you only want a little pink, download and install Dark_Hero and then apply this patch!
See what you think. (pink)
Thank you
I love it and appreciated! thanks for you work!
