I have seen a lot of really nice themes here, the only problem is that they are nearly all for RC33. i am from the UK so use RC9. I know you cant just use the RC33 themes on the RC9 firmware
So, i am wondering how hard it would be to have an application that would convert the RC33 theme into a RC9 theme. Am i right in thinking that you are just replacing some images in packages? Can you have a them package that will inject into a RC9 template?(or is not as simple as that?)
Really enoyed that i cant get a theme that i like
that would be a really great thing, I'm from Germany and so i'm also using the RC9 (because Germand lng-file included) and I found so many great themes (especially the Comp-themes) but i can't use one of them ....
Such an app would be great, no doubt. The folder structure in RC9 differs from that of ADP1,1H and RC33 for some reason though, so anyone trying to create a converter would have to take that into account.
Also, the sizes of the PNG's are of great importance too as the system memory/space very limited. An advanced theme with complex graphics that just barely makes it past the boot screens in RC33 might not make it in ADP or RC9, or vice versa. The different regional images are not identical in that respect, so that will have to be taken into account too.
Though all in all it's definitely doable, for someone with the necessary know-how.

I'm actually running the JF version but i wanted to know what the main differences were between the 3
JesusFreke's ADP1.5 Cupcake Build ROM v1.50

Haykuro's ADP1.5H Cupcake Build ROM
•
TheDudeOfLife's ADP1.5 Cupcake Build ROM v0.93

OH and sorry if this is a re-post but I'm on here everyday and i haven't seen the question be asked.
JesusFreke's ADP1.5 Cupcake Build ROM v1.50 is the best in my opinion.
PLEASE to edit your post and ask your question differently.
If you want to know people's opinion on which is best... Then this thread will be LOCKED and quick! That promotes nothing but bickering and unsubstantiated/subjective opinion (like a$$holes - everyone has one) and diminishes the work of the developers who have brought us the early ROMS.
If you want to know what features are on the different ROMS to make it easier for you to decide which would be a better fit... Maybe, the thread won't be locked.
Don't EVER ask about who thinks what is better! All three major ROMS have different features that make them unique. The best way... Try all three of them!
In a nutshell:
Market works in all three; Apps2sd works in all three; I think the graphics are better in all three (my opinion); they run smoother/faster; VK (all options/versions) is awesome.
JF - more like original Cupcake with a few tweaks (I haven't tried it yet so don't know the keyboard options)
Dude - Some eye candy, three VK's avail (original Google; Chinese/English input (HTC), English (HTC), no exchange support.
Haykuro - more eye candy, closer to HTC version of the device, no Google VK (uses the HTC Chinese/English input VK), support for exchange.
Speed of each depends on who you speak with - it's all about perception and they are all most likely about equal. They are all quality builds at this point with few bugs. It is just a preference thing.
Try them all out! If you put your apps on your SD and use Nandroid or My Backup Pro you can switch to any of the three and not lose any data/settings.
thank you for your input guys. and i truly am sorry about my wording in the title and i didnt mean to say that one might be better than the other . i was really just wondering the differences between the 3 and i appreciate your input shaneaus.
Hey,
Quick question, what is the most "Naked" rom available? I mean No manilla, No Titanium, no add ons (well maybe a few will not bother me)
I'm using energyrom right now (its ok, nothing special, but good, crashes a lot or slows down, apart from that its great) and love the Cloudy roms, they;re my personal fave, BUT I want a completely clean rom (I used to use panosha's roms which were amazing but after 2.4 they were "discontinued" lol ).
I would make one myself but don't want to risk bricking my device, and we can basically get every file we need by a cabinet install anyway I just need a very clean rom!
So basically, it would be nice if someone could direct me to the Cleanest/Lightest/Most Naked Rom! It doesn't matter if it is Win Mo 6.5 or 6.1.
Thanks
Aman
PS. the reason I don't want TF3D or Titanium is because I like the PointUI interface the best in terms of speed and functionality (check pointui.com) and its free, looks stunning if you get a good background and full screen via the customise screen!
I cant remember Da Dui ROM is a vanilla one or not, i've been a few.
Anyway, you should look for a kitchen, which been posted a few developers (yozgatg, mondilv or lobsterdave) in the forum, and remove the manila package and the rest that not necessary to you.
however, the only way to be sure is to build your own one. a naked ROM is not hard to build.
Hmm I would make my own, but I don't know the first thing about cooking a rom! I've tried to read it, but I don't know what kitchen to use (i've seen a few, but didnt really understand some of the apps)
Also, are there any good tutorials?
Amazing work CM and team!
With the help of Firerat's scripts, (Custom MTD Partitions, and All-In-One) I feel comfortable enough with CM-6.0.0-DS to play with the nightlies. I do not like the built-in apps2sd. Too slow and too much room for disaster.
I've replaced a lot of "borrowed" icons and such with my own graphics. My new status icons do require you use a dark(er) status bar than the stock white. By now most of you know where to find the Notification bar changes. I did include, for my own comfort, MMS and Gmail apks from the google apps tiny add-on. I only made a couple of changes to those to replace some notification icons.
9/8/2010: Fixed the download links. Sorry Google changed things around and I wasn't paying attention.
9/12/2010: I couldn't resist. Such good things were being said about the third 9/9 nightly I just had to flash it. Since I'm not playing the nightly game regularly now, I decided to Theme it for my enjoyment. So far battery life is good and it's a quick ROM.
10/22/2010: Updated for Nightly #213... I've updated a lot more of the notification icons. I'm working on changing the color of the new dropdown power manager. I couldn't get a screen shot of the "USB In Use" image. This includes APKs for Email, Gmail, and Vendor. Sorry if you don't use them, I do.
10-22-2010 Part Deu: Updated for nightly #215.
10-24-2010: Updated for nightly #219
10-26-2010: Updated for nightly #222
10-28-2010: Updated for RC1. Swapped the USB Connected graphics. Makes a little more sense.
12-14-2010: Updated for CM-6.1.0 DS Stable. I have updated a lot of the graphics to color. Some have just been colorized. Others are full color icons. It still works best with a black or dark notification bar. That can be set with the Cyanogenmod Settings. There are still some google applications here. I do this primarily for me so if you don't want the google apps you will need to remove them yourself. I haven't figured out how to incorporate the wallpaper into the CMWallpapers.apk. For now you will have to download and apply it yourself. (gee aren't I helpful?)
12-24-2010: Updated for Nightly #285. Lots of colorized notifications and menu items.

Why are you doing to each new Nightly version?

Changes to the nightlies mean changes to the APKs. If you flash an older theme over a new nightly you change the APKs back to when the theme was created. Some big changes have been made lately. From, I think, 218 to 219 there was the new notification dropdown power widget. Really nice. The graphics for that are all in the framework-res.apk. Flash and old theme over that and you miss it. So, when a new nightly comes out I like, I update it with my graphics.
A new RC1 is suppose to drop tonight... I'll probably do an update for that and leave it alone for a while. It gets old doing this almost every night.

Updated for RC1
I downloaded MrInc_Theme_cm-6.1.0-ds-rc1.zip and followed your instructions on flashing it.
It flashed and booted fine but the only thing it replace was the icons.
Literally nothing else changed. Any suggestions?

It is a theme not the whole ROM. That is pretty much what it does is replace the stock graphics with my colorized icons. To change the notification bar colors you have to have the full Cyanogen ROM. It is available in the G1 Android Development forum. CM610RC1
Well yes I know this. I have 6.1RC1 installed...
Again I followed your instructions to the T and it looks nothing like the images you posted.
Is it ONLY the icons? If so where can I get the rest of the images that are advertised on your first post.

Well the wallpaper is the last link on the OP. The rest is either widgets or apps I have installed. The clock with weather is Beautiful Widgets. The audio widget is Audio Widgets Pro with Wood theme. Some of the apps are pay-per-view so I would never include them in my theme. Other than that it is all there.

Cool, thanks for the responses.
Hey!
After some browsing i found this theme and i think its interesting one.....since i still miss green theme for ICS this one seems most properiate...
I tried different updater scripts from different themes (since nexus S one doesnt work)...could anyone please port it for SGS or just point me to right direction...I think there wouldnt be problems with system files since nexusS CM9/AOKP uses preety much same apps, only thing to do would be to add proper updater scripts/binarys.
TY
EDIT: Whoops i forgot to add it, here is the link to Nexus S theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613858

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
So after having gotten my first GS2 back in mid-april and having only rooted it three days later... I decided on BlueKuban ICS since it was very easy to set up and use (as a completely new android noob)
Anywho, I'm feeling frisky! (And want to be able to easily theme my ROMs / Install other peoples themes) And have since started using miui 2.6.15 ICS.
Some things I noticed off the bat:
-SD Card / Internal HD issues:
I of course made to sure to follow the installation instructions to the (T). Flashed External.zip after flashing the rom..... But there's now internal storage showing less then 3gigs total space...... then the internal storage with ~11gigs (which is the normal SG2's HD space) then even though its still labled as "internal storage" there's my 32gig SD card.
This is not helping my OCD ._. Is this a known issue with miui due to the way it is installed?
-Lockscreen widgit:
I love it! Except I uninstalled alot of stuff I don't want to use like the default Messaging app and the muui music app. Now on the lockscreen going to the message or music icon fails to launch a program (Well I understand why......)
My question: Is there a way to tinker with it to launch the programs I want it to? (Gvoice for messaging and DoubleTwist for music.)
-Themes
I've looked @ the in-phone browser for them.... but was wondering, is there a proper US/English forum/thread/sticky where I could find some themes? ^_^ Google helped me peruse some deviant art posts, but not a designiated list as I was looking for.
Well sorry to rabble on, was going to blurb just my two main questions on the actual MiUI Dev Thread however am still under the 10 post limit (And their Epic 4G Touch thread is very.... well empty )
Hiya!
In terms of SD issues ... they have always been a problem because we don't have kernel source. The devs working on MIUI have found work arounds that at least get apps on the phone to start recognizing files on the SD (pictures, videos, music, etc) but bugs are gonna be there until kernel source is available to iron them out.
In terms of the MIUI lockscreen, these things are coded into the theme. Last time I checked, if you look through the MIUI theme files, there should be a .xml that *might* allow you to change what the lockscreen "buttons" lead to. However AFAIK you cannot change it any other way. (I may be wrong)
Themes can be found around the English MIUI forums. I never tried them though but they're there. Make sure the theme you're looking at is for ICS versions of MIUI otherwise it may/may not work.
That's all I've got for now, I hope this helped. MIUI is truly a great ROM, just a bit hard to get down straight >_>
