xRom themes?

I know there is xSmorg, which is just as f'n cool as Smorg is for CM, but why is there not a single other theme for xRom? I understand CM is the most widely used and therefore would have many more themes for it, but seriously, only one for xRom, and it's a port of a CM theme? To be fair, xRom doesn't need much themeing, but it would be nice to have options.

i don't know about other people, but i have not used xRom so if i made themes for it then i would have to flash it every time i needed to test something. also i am lazy and there is no template but if you like my theme then i could find the time to try and port it to xRom. shouldn't be too difficult. but yeah pm me if you would like me to try it.

I'll second xROM options all day every day!

Once xrom is finalized and the template is out I'm sure there will be themes for it. I'm sure manup will be coming out with some great stuff for it as well as other theme makers. Its just gonna take time, cyanogen's builds are so popular that everyone is overlooking the xrom which is too bad cause the xrom rocks!!

ya xroms rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it makes sense that it'll happen eventually, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. I love cyanogen's mods, but xRom just runs so much better for me.
I haven't run Red Oreo yet, but ran kspec's oreo for a few weeks and loved it. The only thing that kept me from running Red Oreo was the colors on the screenshots, they seemed VERY vibrant and I go for a much more subdued color scheme. If the red was more like the Red Hero (deeper and darker) that would be my kind of thing. Having said that, if it was ported for xRom I would definitely give it go since there is such a lack of themes.
My idea for what I think would be a very simple theme would be to replace the green on xRom with a royal blue, something that would really stand out.

There are no themes for xROM because It has already been pimped by the man himself MANUP! so if you want themes go use a cyanogen mod!

Thats so painful to read! ><
Anyway, I don't really see what xROM has that Cyan doesn't. IMO it was designed with the intention that it would stay the way it is, so people wouldnt have to worry about flashing themes.

Yeah that logic makes perfect sense, while were at it lets have just one religion, political party, bank, fast food joint and woman. Different options is a bad thing!!!

Yeah I was with you about how good manupls **** looks, but the whole "if you want themes go with cyan thing" is just bull****.

For those who want themes for xRom or ne build for tht matter....cant u just use themeporter and port it over ? correct me if im wrong (i dont think the newupdate and old update have to be same do they ?)

the problem is that themeporter only works with theme templates ... i made one here for JACxROM, but ive not completely checked it out (sorry running CM) ... so if someone wants they can be a guinea pig and try it out

HTC Desire Live Wallpaper

I was googling and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837
to all the developers, does anyone think this live wallpaper can be ported to the hero? it would be great instead of having just the static wallpaper.

There are live wallpapers for hero. For example on villainrom.

i think he means the Bokeh wallpaper.You can buy it on the market but it eats up ram on the nexus so i never bought it

no its different, you know the desire wallpaper? its a live wallpaper version of that, like you see in the TV adds

I fail to see your point. Do you want to have this live wallpaper run on the hero or do you want LWP to run on the hero in general? Because if you can run LWP on the hero in general, you sure can run this one too, but I'm afraid it's gonna be slow. If you want to run this LWP on the hero, you first have to enable LWP in general which brings us back to starting position. So yeah, basically, whatever you meant, as I said villainrom is the only rom AFAIK to support LWP with sense. Then you have to buy the bokeh LWP from the market and apply it and you're done.

My friend has the Desire and that one you are meaning is called HTC Sense in the LWP List...otherwise known as Bokeh Live wallpaper...

would anyone know how to get live wallpaper on a ROM that doesn't have it?

As I say for like... 3825923589th time, team villain apparently knows and got LWP to work on their rom. If you are a dev and want to implement it, ask them. If you are a user, flash villain10. Can we consider matter closed, or should we wait for 50 more questions of the sort "I want LWP on my hero! How?"? Thanks!

I know that Villain can do it but I don't use their ROM so I just wanted to know if there was a way to do it. I'm not a user who enjoys harassing devs about things I want on their ROM if I can do it myself. Next time I won't bother asking if I have to deal with someone as unpleasant as yourself

Although HomerSp is nice and friendly, he is slightly incorrect in his assumption. Seeing your sig, you are using Cronos droid and in case that is the 1.7 version, you can apply the LWP fix, but it will break your theme and still you won't be able to use LWP. And still I don't see why you have to bother other devs (like HomerSp) in order not to bother Feeyo. It wasn't all that hard to do a nandroid and try it without asking people whether you can do it. And sorry about being anal again, but if you would like to do things yourself, do you have to ask about every single thing? Just do it - if it works, great, if it doesn't - go harass Feeyo about it.

This is what i was asking, this lwp is the same concept as the bokeh one, but its not the same.
I tried pushing it, but it force closes when you try to use it. I also tried flashing the whole zip, which contains lib files as well, but then my phone wouldn't boot up

Yes it doesn't work and I don't consider it bothering when my question is not directed at anyone but they do try and help, also I was unaware of the file and I would have done a Nandroid and flashed it myself if I was aware of it in the first place, not to mention I searched for a day or two looking on XDA and google for any possibility to get LWPs to work on a Hero without using another ROM but I came up empty handed I tried to push some LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk to see if it would have any affect but it didn't so I was stumped so I asked when I tried everything I could think of. I am not a dev or a theme so I have no way of knowing how the internals of Android works I don't know any coding languages even though I tried when I was a bit younger to no success and I have put in a request to Feeyo to have it on the next version he releases.

Ok, ok, sorry. Guess I was bit too harsh, but I didn't realize you didn't find the fix on villain forums... I'm afraid I've started resembling kendon in attitude On the LWP with sense topic - I think you need some modifications done on the rosie, so any rom with custom themes will have problems. Also you might need a deodexed rom (as the update only contains rosie.apk and not a rosie.odex), so I guess it will be hard for a non-dev to work things out and modify the villain fix to the cronos rom.
Anyway, the thread apparently has different purpose - that is porting specifically the bokeh LWP to work with hero and not getting LWP to work in general, so I guess we were a bit off-topic for which I apologize.

[REQ]/[PORT] MIUI Themes/Lockscreens/Theme Manager

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.

It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen
Works on my i9100 with MIUI 1.7.1 test31

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here

Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.

[THEME REQUEST] Honey HD port?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!

Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2

It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.

Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.

Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.

That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.

Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

was using this on my previous phone..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,

Are there any more/other Xperia themes like those developed by "The Green"?

Until today I found out that only The Green can create themes that can pretty modify every part of the system UIs look (e.g. folders, folder background, Home Screen...). No other developer can or did this (correct me if I'm wrong, I am still searching). And all of them don't require modifying the system files (root).
Most developers can colour the Fab buttons or change the wallpapers or make the toggles look like black, red, orange, whatever, and that's great, no doubt. But I am looking for more themes from The Green and those he/she released in the Play Store aren't enough [emoji14]. I believe that more than one developer can create such kind of themes.
It would be great if any body can tell me where in this world wide web there are more of such kind. Android 5 compatibility would be nice.
Notice: I don't know where to exactly post this "question" on Xda, specifically xperia devices, so if this is the wrong place to post then please move it to the correct location. (or delete it [emoji22]) I couldn't find the Cross-device development for Sony devices q&a subforum.

A signature-key from SONY is needed to sign a theme-app to let it theme all the cool stuff.
If the theme is not signed with the SONY signature key, like all the themes on XDA, the firmware needs ROOT and patched services.jar (also called Superuser Mod).
Like you, I have only seen very few theme devs on Play that make themes for Xperia (and they must have the signature key from SONY).

Hello
Have question.

Screenshoots for Craftsmanship theme on KK. On LP it looks like.. well like it's not themed at all, LOL.
We can make overlays for more on KK , because of patched services.jar.

it seems to me that most of these values does not require special signature. I am rather convinced 99 percent. The theme is so advanced.
