LMAO!
Great concept.
@RandumAccess
Will you ever finish any of your themes? This is a good idea but will you do more than the basic stuff?.
Lol, he's released like 5 themes in the past 24 hours it seems, the concept of his work is nice, there is a lot more that can be done to make it better though. Either way I could care less, I make my own personal, as well as public, use themes.
Eh, as a theme maker its good to see someone doing variety of themes like this. Like it or not, most people don't want to see overblown full themes and are happy with something like any of the the past 3-4 themes RandumAccess has done. Kudos for doing the work, it'll probably save others from getting requests like those.
Its a community, share and create alike. Thanks for making them I say.

Well as I have said in previous posts, i like "simple" cosmetic themes... its not that i cant do them but in my opinion I like them cause the icons arent so different from each other and i like to push out themes as i think of them...
I prefer basic... most themes are overcooked...lol
to me... they are complete...lol

I agree and I am one of those people... I do not like the Overcooked themes myself... which is why i use mainly my own themes on my phone.
There is a point where the theme can make the G1 ugly... especially if not done right... I find flaws in most of the overcooked themes and would rather not deal with that and just push out simple themes.
The more themes the better.
The more the merrier, keep 'em coming!
i think it's at, you spend a few minutes replacing a couple of simple things while the rest of us spend days or weeks perfecting all the awesomeness of the "overcooked" as you say themes and i think that the perfection lies somewhere in the middle. hopefully we have some really great well-done, and some medium rare themes, that come out of this contest we are having. just a few days left for competitors to perfect the themes
I have to throw in my .02 in favor of the undercooked theme. I've downloaded a few of the amazing looking themes and then, 20 minutes later I realized that half the icons on the home pages aren't themed and it just looks... off. I rather themes that don't touch the icons or don't radically change them so when I install a new program it doesn't look like ass when I put it on the home page. Not to say I don't appreciate all the work themers put into them, but I think it's nixed the moment you place a non-themed icon on the desktop.

@RandumAccess
Sorry for clogging up your theme thread just wanted to know.
Well a theme that has just been altered is a Theme MOD and what you call overcooked is considered complete.
I seen this in another thread about this section being broken up,I really think it would be a great idea maybe add some sub forums. Complete themes,Mod Themes and a section for all the other threads.
"hey i just wanted to say thanks
ive been looking four hrs for a theme for my newly rooted g1
and while i like most of em i dont like when most of the icons are changed but then most arent
i hate a mix like that
thats why i love your themes
i just installed your green theme (sorry dont remember the name right now lol...know it begins with a g)
just looks tacky when some icons are themed and others arent
id rather have em all themed or none...with some exceptions
but thanks again i love your work"
-dtperea - one of my fans...lol
I get numerous emails like this almost daily... and This is who I theme for.
I love you guys and you motivate me to do my style of themes...
I say keep the themes coming Randum!!! I actually really like that you don't change the icons... I love a lot of these themes but the icons always kept me from using them. You sir have changed that for me!
Yeah, I think that we should make themes just like these and then use utilities like BetterCut to change the icons to ones that match.
That's what I do anyways.
Maybe the devs can post their icons in separate packs, too (as if they don't have too much on their plate already with the RC9, RC33 and ADP1.1 builds to theme... =P)

Thanks Guys!
Im not even doing the competition, I have created Overcooked themes and I really did not like them as much as my "Simple" concept.
This popularity about my themes has created so much more positive email and posts.. I LOVE IT!

Is the mediafire link in your signiture up to date with all these "simple" themes?
I'm sorry and i know I'm not a senior member like most but honestly an artist telling another artist to change up his style is just retarded. if you don't like someone else's work keep making your "overcooked" or "completed" themes and accept that maybe there are some people out there that don't like your themes as much as the simple ones.
you both make sick themes and this is no way to treat one another like your themes are better than someone else's because you are only looking at it in your own point of view.
Keep up the good work guys and one day i look forward to be as good as you guys.

Bleach Theme
*Requested
I dont really watch anime, i have never seen this show so here is my shot at the theme... after researching it, this is what happened.
I really appreciate you taking a shot at it, not bad.
Yea!!! ive been waiting for this. sweet man i like it!! heres some cool pics i like that maybe you could use as a wallpaper if you see fit
http://anime-wallpapers.com/images/800x600/ichigo-hollow-form.jpg
http://anime-wallpapers.com/images/800x600/fire-behind.jpg
the tab would look so cool if you made it the head of hollow ichigo (ichigo is the main character and hollow is the mask over his face) instead of the world "bleach"
Awesome!!!! Thank you!
WOW!! THANK YOU!!!! If I give you a bunch of images and a list MY favorite characters in Bleach... is it too much to ask for you to toss some of those into this AWESOME theme??!!?? Oh and can I please download this one? *EDIT RIGHT HERE--> I found your download page* THANK YOU!
Here is my favorite Bleach site... http://www.bleachexile.com/
::::LINK TO MY PHOTOBUCKET ALBUM::::
Oh and here is a link to a page of images with the squads images!

Dude I don't know what Bleach is... I have never seen it or heard of it & I probably won't ever even dl this theme but I have to say, this is easily the best post I have ever seen from a themer on this forum!!! You're attitude is amazing! Thanks for hookin us up with some awesome themes!
My thoughts on Bleach and what I would like to see...
Oh and here is a link to a pretty cool BlackBerry Storm theme that I found when I went searching for a Bleach theme for my Curve 8900...
Yeah so I just went to BleachExile.com where I posted a link to both this theme and the Storm theme and they ****in banned me...
I will give you my thoughts in a bit. I'm wicked pissed right now.
Hey all, A fan wanted to take over this project for me... I will let him take it and see what he can do.
If any objections to this you can pm me... I just figured I would let a Fan revamp this for you guys... The passion for the theme is stronger with fans.
Dont get me wrong, i had passion for the theme but a Fan might have a little more IMHO...
I enjoy working on requests, so keep them coming, please PM me with requests, there could be a chance i have not seen it or overlooked it for some reason... not on purpose, just cause there are a lot of threads i check.
Thanks,
RandumAccess
Cheers to what you did make though!
Oh and it made another person start making themes which kicks ass!
Yea, someone is "re-doing" this theme but I like this one better, just think some icons, a custom hightlight, new font, ect... kinda like the batman theme how Everything is different. (The red digital clock is still on my phone, matches this theme though) I know it would take time but it a potential master peice! I DL some pics, changed the backround, did custom my favs, did some pic frames and its amazing so, please!!!!!
Hi Im new on this forum just both htc magic few days before and cant manage to instal and use any theame so far, would you be so kind to tell me what program or what should I do to be able to use theames. Please replay me to [email protected] ty
A few changes:
Alright so first off after seeing that this actually got some response, I'm opening it up for other people to edit as well. Hopefully we can figure out a way to do this responsibly... But I figure a community effort on this is much more valuable (especially because my theming is a bit rusty)
Key Files Chart
I am also gonna start modelling this off of a Cyanogen build because those builds seem to be the most poplar now. Keep in mind that much of what works in one theme translates well to most others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Post:
Hey guys so here is what I've been working on.
(Use new Link Above)
Its pretty much a simple list of locations of files that are essential to theming and what they control. This is definitely meant to be simple and geared more towards beginners. I think the thing that was hardest thing for me to learn theming was finding out where specific files were. So hopefully this might help bring down the learning curve.
Plan is to keep on updating this as long as there is interest and questions that people raise. Most of this is from my, relatively, limited knowledge of theming so if anyone else wants to jump in on this, I would be more than happy to add you as a collaborator (thats right, YOU!).
Also, I have this written according to how I know Haykuro's Builds work (because thats the version I use). If things are similar enough to other builds, it shouldn't be too hard to compile a master list across all three 1.5 builds. Let me know. : )
what a great idea! I wish this would have been available to me when I started my first theme! good work
Haha thanks. I been lax bout it lately cuz it really doesnt seem to be catching on at all. Ill wait and see if anymore interest builds up before continuing to update.
Hi!
I would be interested in an update I have been wading through a ton of information, I want to make a theme myself and I have just finished setting everything up properly on my system. I have seen how many image files there are to sort through and the names would be a great help, and I think, a good idea for others too

This is great; although I am new to Android themes, I have extensive experience with BB themes, although that is the "apples to oranges" scenario. Plazmic of course does the grunt work in those, but I have written svg's for animation, hidden docks etc. Hopefully that will help me catch on at a faster rate compared to never having done that sort of thing. So any info you can pass along is much appreciated!- Chris aka riffman
TY
Awesome work. You just simplified SO much of what I was not looking forward to.
I would like an update as well. I am lost sometimes. lol
I'm good on what most of the .png files control, but if you could make one for the .xml files in framework-res.apk/res/layout that would be killer.
Haha wow. Five months later I'm seeing this thread actually got some feedback (And linked on the "Helpful Threads" sticky to boot). I was considering making the document an open project and just working on maintaining the structure if that sounds helpful to people because there are plenty of things that I would like to know as well (like .xmls)
EDIT: Alright I just changed it to open system so that anyone can edit it. I should probably also change the name off from Haykuro seeing as how hes out of the running now...
I know theres a theme suggestion thread sticked up on the forums, but I think this should posted here so it could get noticed more and get more feed back from everyone, because personally I dont think that thread get much attention base on the fact that I posted up my "Got Wood?" theme 2 days ago and it already has just as much views as the request thread. If not, then move it, its understood.
Ok, here is my "xda-dev" theme idea. (Nabzilla1990, this is no way of me trying to step over your theme, as seen as you already have a "community hero mix".
The whole purpose of this project/theme is to expand the selection of themes, but most importantly is to have fun with this project. Id like to see how a theme would come out looking if all theme developers joined together and created one theme from scratch. The way it would start is like this: (and this is just an example)
Let's say I started off, and I designed the application launcher tab. Once I'm done designing that, I'd post it up here on xda and someone else would call "next" and design lets say a wallpaper. Then once the wallpaper is done, the theme gets updated and posted again, and then someone else would call "next" and design the notification bar or whatever they want to do next. We'd keep doing this until we get a decent looking theme and we're all happy with it and then release itto the public.
I personally think this can turn out to be a great project/theme if everyone contributes. If anyone has any more ideas, suggestions on how we can improve the whole process of this project ,feel free to post up your reply.
i think this would actually be a great idea and a fun project, but who ever starts it should do the wallpaper so it can be easier to design everything else around it.
let me know what i can do and i will happily help out with this. if nothing else i am good for progress circles and bars colors
As long as every element works together it should be great. Especially if lets say someone could touch up pieces that someone else designed, and the community would then decide wether they like the changes.
Just some suggestions.
Im down! Count me in
Let me know if you guys need help with .xml edits.
im down to help too!
I'm not the best at making these things from scratch, but I think a great place to start with be to ask manup is he can make an XDA wallpaper similar to his xROM; and have one in white and one black (maybe even a bronze). That'll give users and devs options.
Maybe I can find some icons later on in the project or something.
I been searching all over the web for a decent LCARS PADD skin for android
well got tired of looking decided to go ahead and make one for myself
This is my first Attempt at making a functional Lcars system
lot of hours went into searching and interface design simple to use
pain to design anyways let me know what you guys think this version is the first and is subject to change
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
UPDATE
Hey guys been getting questions about lcars system in color well currently I am working on just that!
Something minimalistic at the same time very efficient as far as functionality and theme wise will be posting
screenshots later today
Keyword Trek it will pull up everything startrek on sweeter home im not the only lcars designer
discontiued
hey guys im going to go ahead and stop providing support on my lcars theme i put alot of time into designing a theme that functioned and looked good aswell
but support for my work was pretty much none so unfortunately that is my de-motivator anyways best of luck guys
thanks to those who downloaded and tried it but this is me bidding adieu
very cool. is this compatible with Froyo?
I was about to say, "is it supposed to like some star trek console or something?", then I saw greytrek...lol.
Looks too cluttered.
yeah that was the first make of it i put control buttons to hid and minimize everything aswell so the clutter issue should be alot less noticeable and i believe sweeterhome should be froyo compatible
i like the Trek series, but that is going a bit over board
i'll definitely keep it on hand, for Hallowing and Costplay parties
nah i reckon it's an awesome effort into making a LCARS, wanted something like this since i was a kid. good work and thanks a lot!
i look forward future revisions!
it will be revised quite a bit its still in alpha status
Would you consider a colour version my friend.
Looks great.
My wife would kill me if I put this on her Galaxay but do it for a Desire and its a done deal. lol
Hey guys here is my colored Theme
i would need to have a device with the screen size to make it work
