[Theme] Carbon glow update 02-11-09 rc30/rc33 1.41 compatible

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.

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.

[Theme] Sticker 01/26/2009 RC30 1.41

I used the Oxygen Refit icons from deviantdark over on deviant art to create this theme, as well as a wallpaper from ToffeeNut on deviant art also. Got the idea when seeing some web2.0 sticker icons. Most app icons replaced on stock theme and most of the icons in menus (at least the ones I see all the time ) have been replaced. Again only an rc30 theme but if someone wants to port it they can. Autorotate browser is built in but just like in my last theme for it to work you need to remove the Browser.odex from your phone for it to work

Looking Good.

Thanks, a little lighter than my last one, I've got one more idea up my sleave that I may try and get out this weekend building it off this theme.

Beautiful looking theme. Great job. I'm rooting my G1 right now just to have this theme! Keep up the good work.

This theme is looking really nice!!

very nice theme!
my question is though, why the starbucks coffee cup? haha
and also, would it be possible to replace it altogether with the fingerprint from Blue Star 5? if so, I'd download that in a heartbeat!

The cup is actually from the wallpaper, I think it's toffenuts logo, and it kinda seems to go

bump for update, now supports 1.41

Do you still need to remove the browser.odex for the auto rotate to work for 1.41?

I really like the icon set, however I don't think the status bar really matches the rest of the theme. Can you change it from the dull gray to a light blue or green or something?

i dont have any plans to update any of the image files on this theme at the moment but feel free to customize the status if you want. Building themes for me is a lot of work because i have to sign everything in xp and my main machine is vista 64

su
# rm /system/app/Browser.odex
rm: remove '/system/app/Browser.odex'?
What do i do now? type in yes?

you shouldn't have to remove the browser odex after updating to jf 1.41. Do this,
su
ls /system/app
and see if you have the browser odex listed. If you do then use the rm code you listed, if it ask if you want to remove it you don't have root or superuser is not giving permission to the terminal emulator

Will this theme work on the adp v1 i got jesus adpv1.1 1,41 rom on my phone.

sorry right now it is only rc30, i havent looked into converting them yet, when i have some free time i mmay sit down and do it. if anyone would like to i would gladly update the first post with links for downloads, but i have no way to test them

UPDATED: Manup Blue for Amon_RA 1.1.0H (23rdJuly)

Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.

To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.

hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.

Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.

yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....

I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.

how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks

if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.

[Theme] MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.8-DS (Black Bar) [6-19-2010]

Thanks for all the hard work Cyanogen and Team. You Rock!
This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv

mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

semi-theme for cm 5.0.7 "the blue in you"

first warning, this is my first attempt at putting a theme together, so go easy, lol.
ok guys, i made a semi theme for myself and thought it was good so i figured id upload for others to try. i started with stevos (from cyanogenmod forum) black bar mod test 5. i then took lots of blue highlights/buttons/icons and such from and old theme (senseherov1.4) done by manup456 and merged them into here. it has a very clean feeling, yet i love it so much more then the stock yellow/orange/green.
ok here is 3 versions for cm 5.0.7-ds stable. they now include vertical power widget mod by anderweb and sitimber, then posted by bluedragon1982 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680154&highlight=power+mod+eclair. the ds version just has themed settings menu. the trans version has the transparent widget also, and the ds dt has both plus themed trans widget. let me know what you guys think. thanks.
*after flashing go to spareparts, user interface, that is where you change clock/date/notifications color
thank you to stevo for your hard work and black bar mod from which i started. also thank you to manup456 for letting me use some of your work in this! thank you to sitimber and anderweb for the setting widgets. also thank you to JF from which i started, of course cyanogen, and everyone else in the android community.
MAKE SURE TO NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING! like everyone else im not responsible if your phone dies, blows up, or grows legs and runs away, lol...
