I don't know if anyone has brought up this idea before, but what do you guys think about a custom xda theme?
Here's the idea.... people post drawables, wallpapers, xml files or what have you, and I or someone else(depending) stick them into a theme. Kinda like a theme request, but more of a community effort.
I have a custom hybrid theme up right now, and although the whole purpose of it is to give back to xda, admittedly it is more or less my custom theme that I edit to suit my needs.
This would require quite some work to maintain, but I can see that many users do not have time to theme or are unable to take the time to learn. This would require contributions fromm some of our more talented artists, as I totally suck at photoshop(change color: yes new image:no).
Anyhow, post you thoughts below
I think this is a great idea. I have some drawables that i can post when i get home tonight. I will continue to post more of the custom files that i make as i get better with photoshop. Right now i am kind of limited in what i can do with photoshop but i can figure things out fairly easily, so whenever i make something i think looks good i'll be sure to put it here
Awesome idea! I'm just starting to learn how to use GIMP so I'll have something soon
You guys are welcome to anything Ive created, namely the faded launcher pull tab. I also have some fun .9.pngs that I pulled out of ophone you guys could use.
Awesome idea. Can't wait to see what is developed. I'll try to add things if I can.
good idea!
here are some images i have made or modified a good amount. maybe they can be used. will post more as time goes on
I say it's a idea idea, mainly because the more themes we have the better off we are. I suck at Photoshop so I can't really contribute anything, but neverless, community theme is a great idea.
Haha well I'm pretty decent at photoshop but suck at theming past stuff thats already been beaten to death. So if someone has an idea they wanna see come out I can def give it a shot.
Hey guys, I haven't forgotten about this. I'm just trying to gauge the interest level for a community theme. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this. Especially things like: if this is community theme, how do we decide what images to use...
Anyhow, I'm keeping an eye on this thread... hopefully more people will get involved.
wallpapers
this is some wallpaper that might match the theme.

This is my first theme so bare with me. Lol may not be the cleanest going to work on it more. Putting this out to get ideas and see what other think. Suggestions are always welcome. I didn't make any of the Icons only modded a couple for use on the theme.
Even though they dont seem to be copyrighted by the authors on Deviant art just want to give credit were credit is due.
The Decepticon and Autobot Icons by ~Blackthorn87 on deviantart.com
Majority of the Icons are made by ~ypf on Deviantart.com
At this point this is an 1.43 ADP1.1h theme. When Im done going to work on RC33 next
From here I have changed a few Icons and still working on some of the internals including the status bar.
Here we go....
The Clock is going to be changed most likely i threw it together as I was leaving the house for work today, really as you can see it is just an Autobot Symbol with the Kpec Clock Hands.
Aswell as the battery Icon will be changed, was just messing around with it as it is my first theme. Any Suggestions would be great.
But let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

I used those icons before for a theme.
Check this out maybe you could get some ideas,cause there's more than meets the eye lol....

That looks awesome, Will have to see what I can do with it. Will have to put in work to have it look as good as yours lol... But I will give it a go.
Great idea man i requested one in other thread so cant wait to see the final version of yours!
The clock looks pretty sweet, but it is hard to see where the breaks in the logo are any chance you could send it to me to play around with, just the logo.
Just an update Im still working on this theme had somethings come up that required my full attention so haven't done much with it in a few days but should be getting back into this week.
Have had to put this on the back burner I know that there didn't seem to be much of a response for it but if anyone wants I can get them what i have and they can proceed with it. I have other things with work and what not that I need to focus on.
PM me if you are interested, or at one point i will come back to it if I dont hear from anyone, I hate to leave things unfinished.
I wanted to toss the first anime theme into the pot since people have been asking and here is my first attempt. Of all the anime I like, Ghost in the Shell (or GitS) is the only one that I could actually form some sort of an idea with. Here is the result (so far). Things are subject to change based on feedback and I'm looking forward to that. Whether you like anime or not, give me some pointers on what you think of the look in general.
Its in a workable form but I chose not to release it yet since I don't know what I want to keep and what to change.
When I finish I may remove all the anime refrences: character's, logo's, etc and make it a general sci-fi looking theme. I personally dont like having anything of mine splashed with faces and names.
Here are some screenshots.
Note:The reason you see two different color Tachcoma is because the blue one is the result of selecting/pressing the menu tab. Green is the default/norm. The delete icon is a laughing man logo which switches from green to red (roll over).
Edit: New Clock! (Laughing Man)

looks nice!!!!
Awesome! I love Ghost In The Shell!
Great job on this theme. I will definitely be using this when it comes out.
I'm actually using a ghost in the shell wallpaper with gloss suite right now , I'd post it but I don't know how mods feel about naked women despite them being androids lol ( tastefully done , just her standing over a dark city )
I was toying with the idea of making a GitS theme based on the original movie but figured it'd be hard to get quality pics with the new series being so popular ( and rightfully so )
My suggestion for this one, laughing man clock, if you could somehow make it spin all the better. Android doesn't seem to like .gif's from what I've seen though.
I'm liking the status bar icons though .

By request I changed the clock to a Laughing Man logo. Looks better imo and thanks for the suggestion on that.

It's finished! Push this contacts.apk into your app folder over ADB when in fastboot mode or use an update.zip
Don't mind the Dutch text on the tabs, it'll be in your language when you apply this apk, just my native language is Dutch. This version is for google dialers only, if you use this dialer as replacement for a HTC dialer it'll not work. This dialer has been tested in Cyanogen 3.6.8 and 3.6.8.1 on both HTC Magic and HTC Dream.
I'll release a version for HTC dialers when my neck issues are fixed...
Enjoy.
i hate the iPhone, but cool story, bro,
J/k, looks nice. I wish we had more themes with that kind of color scheme, subtly, not overly blue :retends not to look TheDude's' way::
I like the colors very nice but the whole iPhone thing just ruins it sorry :/
Maybe you should put your powers to good and help me instead of using your powers for evil.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475917
My theme needs a better dialer and I can show you how to do all these things.
I can help you but maybe you can help me with compiling my framework-res.apk into an update.zip ... and I don't think iPhone is evil I like the design but I hate the closed firmware/appstore/apple brand. It's partly evil but I like the design .
looks pretty good ;]
hope you can port it!
Nice! Have you edited the seperate images or is this a concept?
It's a photoshop image, but all bits have the right size, so all left to do is export and apply. I flashed smartphone france ROM yesterday, but the dialer is different lol. I'll have to adjust this skin to fit in that dialer...
Mind uploading your seperate images so i put on my theme
Sorry double post
Would like to see this ported, colors look good....iphone sucks though!!
First post updated !
Wasnt this named "iphone dialer"? Good u changed it.. i cant wait til v2 is out.. how bout black too color scheme
I changed the thread's title because of the lame comments.
Black is possible, maybe later
Now will I be able to use this with the Ion 2 ROM?
I take it you gave up on this. I was looking forward to this.
I just got to free iphones from my boss...there a program call iphonebrowse you call take stuff off the phone. So i'm trying to get the dialer from it.
Not posting for 4 days is not giving up on it I'm waiting on the smartphone france guy to post the theme template so I can publish it.
Any chance of getting this as an aContacts skin?
Definately.
where can i download this dialer skin? how do i install it? thanks
Hey all, just a quicky here, but, for everyone out there who likes designing wallpapers for Windows Phone, I've made a quick mockup template that includes the dark overlay, lockscreen text, notices, and system tray icons that will co-exist with your wallpaper on the phone so you can more quickly test how your wallpaper will work with text on it, or just show to people as you develop it so they can see what it'll actually look like in use. Been trying to find something like this for a while, but it's pretty hard to find resources for the lockscreen as opposed to app design.

Which contest are you talking about?
Re:Contest
BiapLorScarp is talking about WPCentral's wallpaper contest for a Focus S, although I've been working on getting this schlepped together since before then. Would've been handy to have back in September when I made a series of wallpapers to match an art show I was putting on, for example. Finally just had some free time to get it done.

I'm running Chicago Remix rom, ICS 4.0.4 and i'm looking for a dark MMS.
I've decompiled the MMS.APK through APKTool but i'm no expert user. I don't know how to change the background color or txt color and such.
If anyone can help me I will take the time to attempt to do it myself... I don't mind some trial and error it can always be fun.
Thank you anyone.
I'm not sure if these will work i dont see why they wouldn't but i'm no dev i just saw these the other day and figured i would share

these won't work, have already tried a few so I just wanted to try and theme one myself... Anyone? I'd like to basically change the background color to black, txt to white, possibly make the bubbles look different if thats not too challenging, and making silly smiles.
this is what i'm trying to do basically:

If you manage to whip all that together would you mind and sharing with me and or the community! It looks absolutely amazing.
That is my plan to share it of course. I just need to figure out how in gods name to do it. I tried decompiling that apk but it's signed and I can't get to it. I was simply going to try and a little copy and paste on certain things.

Here is a great guide I found at rootzwiki that gives a step by step tutorial on how to edit the Mms apk: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19845-how-to-theme-your-mms-a-step-by-step-guide/. I found that after I had some help and figured it out. My best advice is to decompile my theme and take a look at it. Most of what you're looking for will be in the layout folder.
If you'd like further help and information you can contact me on GTalk. my email address is nbe[email protected]
