I messed around with photoshop for a couple hours today, and this is what I came up with. It looked WAY better when I made these icons at full size, but then they turned to crap when I resized them smaller. So I'm gonna have to make some changes...
*2/11 - Added Dialer, Messenger, Browser and Maps icons. (still need to "sharpen" up the status bar icons)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*2/13 - (Finally got Nandroid setup). I spent some time packaging the files and updating them to my phone. Here is a real screenshot(no more photoshop mockups). Two things I've came across...
1) The "Dialer" icon was not changing for some reason, it's in the apk, but is not showing up on my phone.
2) The gradient on my clock looks terrible, it's not smooth and I can see the lines in the gradient. I thought it was because I compressed the image, but I put in an uncompressed image and it still looked the same.
It took me a week to come up with only this. I started with knowing nothing about themes, and still have a lot to learn.
*oh yea...don't mind the little android guy at the bottom...I used damnitpud theme as a template...
edit: The gradient problem seemed to go away with a darker colored wallpaper, like this one...weird
they look good, dont sell yourself short.
I like 'em
Yeah they look realy good, the orb theme sounds pretty cool keep us updated!
Not that you want to because you seem like a good artist, but you could even take the vista route and throw in the vista orb for a apps tab. Just a thought with the orbs idea. And there are quite a few orb icon packs at deviantart, you could use for ideas. But as i said they look real good. Keep us posted on the developements.
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I fiddled with PS some more and added some new icons.
(anyone wanna help me get Nandroid working? If I have JF1.41 RC33, is the SPL the only thing I need to install? EngineerSPL or HardSPL?)

I hate to throw my own thread off topic, but here are my questions...
On the 1st page of the "Nandroid" thread, it says I need...
1) EngineeringSPL bootloader
2) a recovery image with busybox and adbd running as root
3) Fastboot
...then on page 9, "alapapa" replied to someone that has just the JF1.41 RC30 and said that all he needs to do for a Nandroid backup is, boot into recovery mode(home+power), then press alt+b.
1) Does this mean I don't need to install the EngineeringSPL bootloader?
2) Does JF1.41 RC33 come with "busybox and adbd running as root"?
You can create the nandroid backups without the EngineeringSPL bootloader but you need it to reapply them. Yes the JF releases come with busybox and root.

Cool thanks...I got the engineeringSPL on and created a backup. Havnt tested it out yet though. Also updated my first post.
Its coming along fine, but i dont care for the apps tab, i dont feel it is necessary but, it looks good.
I dig this big time... Very clean. How does the status bar look? Is it transparent?
Is it ready to try out?
Very nice can't wait to try it out.

This is a theme i have been working on for a week now thanks to Stericson who showed me how to resign/push .apk apps/framework straight to my phone.
Here are a few pics,as you can see all the default icons have changed i have more pics that i will be posting tonight. As soon as it is complete i will post it for everyone to use. 8)
I really want to thank Stericson for showing me the path,i can do grafix for anything but how to get it installed is another. We helped each other bring to the G1 history so enjoy.

Very slick
looks awesome cant wait for it!
Will you have a non-wipe version for those of us that are already have loaded Stericson's theme?
Thank you so much...this looks so sick.
your theme is sick ...
There will be a non-wipe version of this, as there is with my theme.
Btw, themes looking great manu.
Stericson
Yeah, this is looking NICE!
I have a question though: If an app with a custom icon is updated or reinstalled, does it still have the custom icon?
Also, I think it would look nice if the drawer icon thing was tinted blue, as well.
do you have to have mod RC30 for this or are you gunna put it on the market
Looks sweet! Can't wait
rogue, root is needed to change themes like these. looking really nice, i wonder if eventually we'll be able to switch themes on the fly. would be perfect
hello i just got my g1 about a week ago and i want to know how to install themes step by step if someone could help me i really appreciate it. Or if you want to email me at [email protected] I had the shadow but this seems more complex to do.
please help
you first need to find out whether you have the possibility of getting root. go to settings, then about phone, then tell us what your build number is.

unfortunately you are out of luck. You have the OTA RC30 build and until it is hacked or Google 'fixes' it, you won't have root access. (Root is required for theme modificaion.)

This is the first one I have seen that I would consider trying out other than Stericson's.
The yellow and lime green weren't my style.
is there a way to downgrade from my ota rc30

Not liking any of the themes or fonts and want to go back to the way things originally were on your G1 without wiping?
Well, good news, I have four updates that will do just that. Same as before, just rename it to update.zip, put on sdcard, boot into recovery, press alt s, and let the magic begin!
I have versions for Haykuru(G), ADP1.1(JF 1.4), ADP1.1H(Holiday), RC8, RC30 and RC33.
Thanks to mannyb for getting me the files I needed to make ADP1.1 update, he also kind of gave me a kick to get working on it. Thanks.
To restore only the fonts download the last link. not that these themes do not restore the fonts, so if you want to restore the fonts along with the theme then flash the font update.zip as well.
Links:
RC8: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_rc8.zip
RC9: http://rapidshare.com/files/216685878/update_rc9-jf.signed.zip
RC30: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_RC30.zip
RC33: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/RC33-update.zip
ADP1: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_ADP1.zip
Fonts: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update-fonts.zip
Note! If you are going to use this as a template for your own theme, do NOT remove any files from the update as it will cause a looped phone.
The updates below wipe out /system/app so that a clean install can be ensured.
ADP1.1 (JF1.4): http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/ADP1.1-update.zip
ADP1.1H(Holiday): http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/ADP1.4H-update.zip
These theme templates are to be considered *BETA* This is because with all the changes that are being made to these builds, meaning the daily and nightly builds, something could possibly change that would render this theme template unusable. Mind you this template has the apps, framework, and the fonts included. This has been confirmed to work on the build created by THEDUDEOFLIFE. This will WIPE out /system/app! So any additional apps stored therein will be gone. The apps available in his build is what will be present upon using this theme template as is. Remove apps from this update as needed to accomodate your needs.
I highly suggest using TheDudeOfLifes build with this theme template. I do not know how it will work on other (G) builds. Be forewarned!
I make no promises, guarantees or anything else of the like by making this file available, you assume all risk that might be incurred by putting this on your phone.
HayKuru(G) - TheDudeOfLife original theme template: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/HayKuru(G)-TheDudeOfLife(1.5)-themtemplate.zip

Great post thanks and i agree this is wiki material. Honestly though with these new themes coming out I'm never gonna go back
i think icons wrong
sorri wrong place
sweeet, thanks alot worked like a charm, so being a noob like me, should I revert back to this before switching themes? i also signed this zip archive with the signature keys that was included with the AndroidMod kit that i used to revert from OTA rc30 to RC29...is this also the correct thing to do? you dudes are awesome thank you!
Thanks
You shouldn't need to resign this, I did it myself, but it never hurts to sign again.
I would recommend flashing to this before flashing to another theme just to make sure that everything is flushed out from the previous themes.
Stericson
Hey, Mr Stericson, would it be possible for you to add the default theme for ADP1.1 too?
I sure will do that. Will, have it up tonight.

How would I incorporate this into my theme's update.zip in order to use a different font throughout android? I want to replace the digital clock font, but I don't mind if it changes that specific font throughout android.

just replace the font sansdroid with your own and flash the update again. just make sure it has the same name. It will however change the fonts througout the entire phone.
Also guys sorry for the delay I will have a compatible update available today. I promise.
Stericson
Thanks for the reply Stericson. I guess I should have been more specific with my question. I am releasing a beta tonight, for a theme I have been working on for a while. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how would I "merge" your font update.zip into my theme update.zip? I want to release my theme with a custom font built in. Can I just find the sansdroid font in my theme zip and change it, or do I need to include some modified files to do that?
check out my adp1 update for trial by fire. Replace my files with your own.
Stericson
As some of you have already asked for replacements for the Windows Mobile splash screens, I decided to make a couple.
To install these:
Download the NBH file by clicking the link below the image.
Copy the NBH to SD card, Rename to KAISimg.nbh, Flash by powering on while holding down camera button, same as flashing to nand.
These splash screens will not alter your nand flashed Android in any way, they simply replace the old splash screen.

I used this tutorial to put together these splashes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907
Please add your own splashes here, then we can keep em in one place

Thanks loserskater, always liked those ones too, kept meaning to ask you where you got the font from, can see that coming in handy

I actually made the K S and E myself using gimp. Searched high and low for the actual font but its not released. I thought about changing the S and E to fit the rest of the font better but haven't got around to it.
Did wonder about that, been searching all over the place for that font, lol, but since it's not supposed to be used on anything other than official google andoid logos, I'll just have to use what I have

Hello guys, here are a few screenshots of a theme I made on UOT Kitchen, and then tweeked manually on Photoshop.
If someone is interested, I'll post it, when I am on my iMac...
EDIT: the file is up!
Enable overscroll glow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211912
CHANGES
-tweeked Gingerbread-like notification menu
-green signal icons
-tweeked windows with glow
-some colors changed to orange (progress bars etc.)
-Gingerbread lockscreen-sliders
I also attached the stock Gingerbread-launcher to this post.
USE THIS THEME IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Have fun!
Also, the overscroll glowing works if you patch your framework.jar
Personnaly I use the stock Gingerbread launcher instead of the standard Touchwiz one.
Just flash this with CWM (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, mount /system and install zip from sd)
I just tested it on CodeROMv2x-2b, so I guess it will work on XXKPH as well.

Do a Nandroid Backup with Clockworkmod before flashing stuff . So you can easily go back to your previous setup.

It's because I stay on your theme seilent!
Yeah, I had this kind of issue too, but usually the icons change after some time... They usually only work when I have Wi-Fi and Cell-Tower reception... It's probably a bug of UOT Kitchen (parts of the theme are done in UOT, other parts manually)
Hi i made a theme for 4ext recovery for the desire s and should work just fine with the desire coz both have same resolution 480x800. Its called IcySense5 coz its all sense 5 icon png files which were a balls to find and resized them all and it has ICS colors. Took me ages + bout 20 trial and errors making build prop but i got there. Hope u like it.
Credits to marc2040 and T-Macgnolia for all the help before.
Thanks chromium96 for testing it on desire.
Download the zip file to ur sdcard then boot recovery and flash it. IF u dont like it, just boot recovery, go to tools und uninstall theme. if theme does'nt load, go to tools/reload theme
EDIT: Just did a noob, posted in wrong section
Can a mod move it please? Thanks and sorry

Hi yh this is wrong thread. Also i dont have a desire anymore so cant update the "4ext recovery as PB99IMG thread" unless someone uploads the recovery.img (hint hint wink )
