[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.

Theme http://cid-4a44cb45d6e338f8.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/update.zip
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.

I like the floating tree wallpaper best.

Well I like how this is going so far. I can only imagine how it looks once u touch the rest of the system.
The dialpad
The selection color
various icons....
possibly even a new font. This is a sleek sexy theme. thank you

I can dig it.. Great job thus far tho.. actually had me looking for matching blackberry wallpapers earlier this morning lol

here are two wallpapers i think might look nice with this theme
i haven't installed this one yet to see how they look but it is merely a guess that they will flow well together =]

here is the clock I had in the theme first before I lost it the numbers have a blue glow to them but hard to see with the background which one do you like.and I am working on the dialer the number keys look real good but don't like the shaded part I made I am going to work on it some more after work

RE: Clock
I like your original Design but I think it needs to not be so transparent. But if it goes good with some of your other icons I think this would be the best theme yet!

Great themes!! Could you send me or post up your clocks (both this one and your first theme with yellow). If you don't mind would you post it up here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476758&highlight=clocks).
Thanks

hey teknotiq, liking the theme, i touched it up a lil... made the colors a lil more closer & brighter....changed the clock color and made the notches clear/see-through (have different possibilities for the clock... 12,3,6,9 not clear, all clear, or grey back with colored notches)... also tried something different and added "open n close" to the menu tab...and changed the delete tab to match the menu tab..
all props to you... just tweaked it a lil bit ( ** i have other square and circle clocks** )
Download update.zip, rename to update.zip, and reboot, you know the drill

Hey, I like that, if you want you can upload the zip and send me a link, ill add it to the main post as your modified version.

Nice theme!

G1 stuck in a loop
I see G1, then the Android Logo comes up and keeps flashing, going off, then coming back on. What do I need to do if I installed R29?

First of all great theme one of my favorites. I had the original on my phone for a while.
As for your problem grandamxlr8 this theme is for RC33. First of all do you have root if not you need to get it. I would start all over and get root and flash JF RC33 update. I know theme says JF 1.41 but i used the 1.42 and it worked for me. After you get RC33 then you can flash this theme and enjoy. Good Luck.

Awesome man. Maybe if you could get the launcher bar for the app part? And the text on the apps, the white does not blend well with the grey.
Great work though, I miss my g1 so much already

wow, that app bar is great !!!!
BTW, the white letters doesnt seem to go well xD .

My bad i meant 3.6.5 in my post

I like it. Hope it is released soon.

i think you should have made time in notification bar white instead of leaving it black though.

services.jar, just copy it over from the hero theme and it should work

Click to expand...

Not quite so easy, make sure you get the right services.jar (from a theme that is currently compatible with the 3.6.5 builds). The services.jar have changed to include the reboot on press.power and pull down the status_bar while having the lock screen.
My theme has a good services.jar, and if you want to change additional text: search for edit + xml. ; )

Nice start. Def gonna keep my eye on this one. I like the tray and some of those icons.

Rly good job, hope to see some final job of this if someone can port SMS Widget and Dialer too ( Music and Keyboard are already ported ) Cyanogen Mod and if this theme will be finished im gonna go back to 1.5 from Sense UI .

I posted the following in the "Helpful Thread - Read before clicking new thread" sticky the other day but apparently, I'm the only one who reads stickies on xda. Maybe someone in here can answer my question and I apologize if I offend anyone by posting this in the wrong thread...
*I got a question about installing themes. What is the proper procedure of installing a new theme after you've already installed a theme? The reason I'm asking is because (first of all I'm running Cyanogen's v3.6.5) I installed the HTC Hero v1.4.5 theme yesterday and everything went well. Then I wanted to see what the PrOdigal Sun theme (Orange Cyanogen_Mod V3.4.x, V3.5.x and V3.6.x version 2.8.) would look like so I just flashed the theme onto my phone (without wiping first-didn't think I had to or was supposed to) and I kept getting force closures after force closures. I then re-flashed the HTC Hero theme back onto my phone and everything seemed fine until I opened the drawer and saw that I had the icons of the PrOdigal Sun theme instead of the HTC Hero icons.
Long story short..I had to re-flash cyan's rom again the re-flash the HTC Hero theme. Didn't wanna try the PrOdigal Sun theme again because I wasnt sure if it was compatible with cyan's rom even tho it says it is. Thanks*

whens the eta for a beta version of this theme
i wanna try this out!

What do you mean "switched to aHome"?

ahome is a homescreen replacement, instead of using the regular homescreen that comes stock with android.
he's making this theme thru "ahome" which allows the icons to be at the bottom where the "menu bar" is removed.

I"ll be working on a Palm Pre Theme for Cyanogen 3.6.5 Build. Like the i said on the Title: "Palm Pre Home Theme" for now just home screen, icons and few drawers.
Okay I switched to aHome Since the icons are at the bottom!!
here is my progress

I'm pretty sad about the aHome switch. I have problems with aHome. Can you post the icons in a .zip and your launcher as well. I really want to make a private them with that app bar and those icons.

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.
