[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.

[Theme] BUUF 1.5 Cyanogen 3.9.10 (8/14/09)

Hi Guys
For all that are unfamiliar with BUUF, it is a set of icons made for the desktops. Hopefully i recreated this experience to our beloved Android. All icons are courtesy of its creator Mattahan, the battery was supplied by Mr. Stylo and the clock was made by Rontz. Everything else by me 8) I really hope you guys enjoy this as I have put in quite a lot of time. Up to date we have 550+ icons changed in this theme and these pics really dont reflect the extensive amount of makeover it has gone through. I want to thank Stericson for giving the community and myself a great new hobby. Necromancer for his ubuntu theme which inspired me and everyone should go d/l it 8) Last but not least, Dave the illest for originally supplying the update.zip and the tools necessary to create my first release. Latest build is built from the ground up. If you use any of my icons go right ahead as long as you give me credit 8)
7/9 Sorry guys its been almost 5 months since i last updated this thing. Been so busy with work and now that I'm finally happy with a stable build out there, I decided to finally start porting this thing over. This has only been tested on Cynogen's build 3.6.5 You guys can test it on other builds at ur risk. 8) This is not a full change over as I have done previously in JF builds. I will continue to release new revisions as i have time to update the current icon set. This update may also require that you are running apps2sd as the update file is fairly large. I havent tested it on a non apps2sd build yet so someone can let me know. For now it will only be one color. as the theme gets more complete, I'll release new colors. Ok enjoy 8)

i'm diggin your theme dthadamaja! keep up the good work... i'm installing as we speak

Very Nice Bro.

this is slick....

Well there goes my theme idea...
I kid, I kid.
Nicely done.

looks great. this is going to be the first custom theme i put on my g1

WOW! I was gonna request or BUUF or a GANT theme. This looks amazing! I didn't plan on doing a custom theme but I think you just changed my mind!

I'm working on a theme using the icons from GANT (actually GACK, the OS X version of GANT since it uses PNG icons) if dthadamaja doesn't beat me to it
I'm almost done with all the icons, but I still need to add resources like the tab, status bar, battery icons, wifi, a bootscreen, etc. I'm starting from the default RC30 so it won't have any elements of the Windows 7 theme in it, but it will probably have a lot of the default stuff...
I'll make a new post when I'm done, but it will probably end up looking a lot like this since GANT and BUUF are highly similar (but GANT has a bit more gloss to it)

i like this theme alot !1.. keep up the good work

This theme is great! love the flashing.... uuummm alien?? idk what it is but cool. By the Way.... how did u get a game folder?

Installed the theme with no issues..
Some of the icons are a bit blocky (calendar, browser bookmarks, refresh, etc) though. I hope these get fixed as it moves out of beta.
Great job!

Sweet I had my TyTN II all GANT'ed up so this would make my G1 that much better! Can't wait for a release

hey how did you change the unlock pattern for the theme? where were those files located?
is it just in the framework.res folder? and you either tweak the icons given or replace them with your own personal image?
im tryna grasp the whole concept of the phone, im making a theme as well
wanted to try and edit everything, why not, unlike others i have a lot of free time this term in school, so why not
also you said u used the "windows-step by step" instructions to sign and create your app? i am having troubles with the signing of the apk

I was soooooo waiting for the black and white theme but you have renewed my love for GANT. Manhattan the kid that came up with these icons is amazing. I think he was 13 at the time he created the first GANT theme.
Installing as I type DD

okay...so for me this won't boot past the G1 screen...

oddly, i tried reupdating to deepblack and after the alt+s process this themes icons came up....
well, anywho....nice theme

No clue what BUUF is, but this theme is awesome looking. Downloading/Installing as I type this.

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

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!

Click to expand...

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.

l3wish said:
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.

you can use just the dialer. i did before? the only time i get force close is after someone rings me but it dont matter cause it happens after the call lol

Using just the dialler on darkys 8.0, looks great but lots of bugs and fc after call as said before. If a dev could fix and incorporate into a rom or working it would be fantastic.

[THEME MASHUP] [Cog 1.51] Various Themes [Update: 4/9/11]

I decided to have a bash at simple theming by combining two of my favourite themes; Steel Blue by BMWPokerAce (originally by Team Carbon) & CirclesMod by Hooolm. I was browsing Hooolm's webspace and noticed that he'd updated his green version of CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 but hadn't updated his thread to reflect this, nor had he had any requests for a blue version.
He's been a little preoccupied with family issues recently (hope all is ok, Hooolm ) and so I didn't want to trouble him by asking for a blue version. So, I made one myself by grabbing all of the blue iconography from the most recent CirclesMod for VillianRom 2.42 and jacking them into the green version of Cognition 1.5. It took a few attempts to get it right and I had to fix a couple of leftover green things (from the switches in the pull-down menu, it seems Cognition has a switch that Villian doesn't have) and voilà, we have a blue CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 attached below.
Not completely satisfied, I decided to combine the pull-down menu switches from Steel Blue as I preferred them and they go rather well with CirclesMod I think. I also incorporated the blue Android background for this menu too. Everything else is as CirclesMod.
If either original author has any issues with me using their work or iconography, please PM me and I'll remove immediately.
Zip files contained within this thread are CWM flashable. Remember to Nandroid backup first. If you don't know what either of those things are, don't download anything from this thread until you have learned the basics. I am not responsible for damage to your device due to your own ineptitude/inability to read or assimilate information. No requests will be entertained for different ROMs. I'm using Cognition by designgears and as such will only be messing around with themes for this ROM range.
[Update 4/9/11] I've been messing around with the new KLoNe Technologies theme as I'm quite impressed by it even if it doesn't look much like the screenshots in KLoNe1's thread I decided to add a couple of elements from the Steel Blue theme, specifically the pull-down background and the switches too, much like I did with CirclesMod. I'm quite pleased with the result and think that the theme gels well.
Cognition 1.5 themes are also compatible with Cognition 1.51. Click the links above each pic to download or the pics themselves.

thank you for responding !
the status bar is not dark black (color is: black mix with silver)
But on screenshot is dark black

Yes, on your screenshot it is black also. On my device, it is black/silver gradient. Probably an issue with the screen grabbing software.
Edit: No, I'm wrong. Your screenshot shows it as black and silver but so do mine! Are you looking at the screenshots with an LCD monitor? Try adjusting your viewing angle. On my Sony Vaio, I have to adjust the screen angle to see the gradient properly

Just to let you know Team Carbon made Steel Blue originally, BMWPokerAce ported it.
EDIT: Great work all the same.

Ta. Edited my OP for credits.

Looks good, well done
If your screenshot in the OP is current, you've included the quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png from my green Cognition mod, which is a shame, when I've actually got a blue one
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png
...is a straight up no nonsense replacement for the one seen in your screenshot.
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png
...is the one you should use if you're editing by actually decompiling SystemUI.apk. That way, scalability and fill info is compiled into SystemUI.apk (in other words, the quickpanel background is scaled properly and the dividers aren't )

Thanks mate. I was keeping it simple just by copying images between zip files rather than decompiling. Now you seem to be back posting again, I'll defer to you for the blue versions of CirclesMod and just concentrate on my hybrid version
