Where is a good place to download icons for the Android? Looking to change up my phone a little bit. Unfortunately, all the ones I'm finding are like, apple iphone style. Who the hell wants iphone style icons on there Android!
So wrong section to post this bro. This is for ROMs, Kernals and such.
This is the wrong area to post this. still here is a good site > icons.mysitemyway.com
or you can download icon packs from the market

Wrong section though as stated above.

BUILD YOUR OWN THEME
Ok folks, here it is, a change to make your own theme. As cool as I think I am, I bet you guys have some pretty good ideas for themes so Im making this a cooking thread for your own person recipes.
These are the ingredients I need:
- Build type, RC30 and ADP1 are preferred but I can make RC8 as well
- Icon pack, you can find any group of icons to use in an size, this means application icons, status bar icons, just anything you want but you have to supply it
- Image for the status bar in portrait and landscape.
So ya, I am kinda figuring this out as I go so post what you want made into a theme and I will see what I can do.
You rock!! I gather a list for ya and post it soon.

This is a pretty cool idea, though I suspect you're gonna get absolutely flooded with requests
If you need files sizes or types let me know or ask and Im sure a bunch of people can answer.
You do know there are requests for themes here.
You can start with a few of those
gucci theme
i dont really have any real ingredients as you put it jus diff icons and use the gucci colors
Well I was hoping it would be more for the people who know exactly what they want and dont know how to put it together than just the people coming up with new ideas. So if you know you you want my carbon fiber status bar, with the silver status icons from Blue Star 5 and defaults icons with one of your own, I could take those things and make a theme out of them in like 30 minutes.
Just close this thread if you would rather me pick it up in the other thread.
What you stated is exactly what i had in mind. Ill pm with my "wishlist and icons" and we can go from there.

I really like your Karbon theme, id like the status bar just grey like deep black, your status icons , and this battery meter. is this possible?
http://www.filehosting.org/file/deta...parannoyed.rar
Not sure but i think i saw that icon set on deviant art. might want to take a look.
The status icons from Karbon are great, just the batt meter change.
here are a few icons id like included:
D3ath star=settings
Kerry King guitar=my music
internet=browser
email=email
not sure if you are changing the settings context (menu key menu) with pics
craniac=dialer
flame=messaging
book=contacts
I have an idea....this is gonna get carried away lol
Place all pics in a zip folder with a text file directing what should get done and upload a zip ONLY.

Im building it now, I assume you want RC30 right? And if you can get those icons as PNG files with transparent backgrounds it would be best, if not I can see what I can do.
And just to confirm, the status bar in a dark color will make it so you cant see the text, if thats fine its fine with me.
To respond to Mikey1022, would it also be ok to host them on a site like photobucket and link the pic in the post or would you prefer zip files?

I would just say use your own judgement. If someone will look at the theme and be instantly reminded of another one you pulled from you might want to give a lot of credit to it, but if it was just a platform to start with and its mostly your own creation I would just mention who the theme came from. Just think about it as if it was your theme being used by someone else. Personally its a huge compliment.
you are right perhaps the light grey status bar from macdroid would be better.
Yes RC30, sorry for the lack of info.
I am really contemplating dual booting fedora or mandriva, to better acquaint myself with this stuff.
Ya, I was going to do it with this one but it was way too dark until we can change font colors.
good call, i hope you guys will have access to changing font color soon.
Thanx for doin this, til i force myself to figure it out on my own.
Just for everyone's knowledge, these icons are not my creation. I have collected them over the last year or so from different icon packs mainly downloaded from deviantart. this is mainly a personal theme, that i find appealing for me to look at.
Launchers of like Touchwiz, iPhone, MIUI and DELL android tablet use those squared backgrounds for the icons on their home screen.
I've searched XDA for a themer/dev who has done this but no luck.
People seem to rather remove the iPhone's icon style but I think it looks nice.
Now I want to achieve this effect on a Sense or non-Sense based ROM without photo shopping every icon.
So is there a way to mod a Standalone Launcher like LauncherPro or ADW to have this icon style?
I'd love to help if any dev wants to give this a shot.
Thanks.
Ah, on second thought, I posted this at the general android forum because I can get more answers there, sorry.
Please delete this thread.
I've posted the thread here instead:

Hi there!
Is there a flashable mod that can change the notification pulldown from trans(lucent/parent) to opaque (without sacrificing the other elements of the theme)?
I LOVE the themes that I've found here, but I find transparency/translucence to be disorienting.
Thanks!
yes and no. to my knowledge there is no app or mod to simply change the properties of the png image to opaque, but you could check out the metamorph threads on here and in other xda forums and make yourself a metamorph to do just that!
basically you would choose an image for your new background or pull one from another theme or whatever and build the metamorph according to the guide, run it and voila. good luck!
Thanks. I installed metamorph and... let's just say that I'm smart enough to know that I'm too stupid to do it right
Are there any themes that come with the opaque pulldown?
Thanks again!

Click here, it shows you how to do it yourself. It is a very detailed walkthrough and should not be too difficult even for people without and development experience.
I don't really think there would be a way to create a universal flashable zip that makes the drop down opaque/transparent since the image file that the dropdown consists of is what has to be changed. It is possible to create a zip that would replace your dropdown with a new image file, but then again you still run the risk of changing some of your current theme since you would have to replace more than just that single image file.

Yes it can be done by changing one image and if the theme is done right in the 1st place, the other images will not be affected. The problem is most themer's, including myself do the transparent image since 99.9% people want that. Wanting a custom look is what drove the person making the theme in the first place. We make what we want in a theme and share our work.. The best thing for you do is read the instruction and ask the right person for help on the area you need help. It's the only way to get what YOU want.
Edit: Change my mine, going to help you out. Which of my two themes posted do you want. I will edit the correct png and post just that apk in zip for you to download.
Metamorph will do just that. Gonna take you some research. Sterickson developed it and its under utilized on the samsung Epic so far.
Froyo window had an opaque one but its buried deep on here. 1 thing to note only the stock launcher well show opaque, the after market ones like zeam lp, etc don't display in full screen so it will still show up black unless your using a live wallpaper

that is very generous of you! i truly appreciate the offer.
however, i'm most certainly in the minority in wanting opaqueness (if that is indeed a word). and i know i'm gonna want to learn how to do it eventually, so i'm going to try to do it myself. we'll see what happens
on a related note: as i'm learning and have questions, should i post those questions here or in the general or q/a? seems a little too specific for q/a, but i know there's nothing more loathsome than a question posted in the wrong section
thanks again!

Feel free to pm any specific questions want to learn how theme in general check my signature, the threads are buried deep. Now the status bar (notification bar, pulldown, whatever your calling it) being opaque (transparent, whatever lol) just change the status bar background in twframework to a clear or semi clear image. You used to have a live wallpaper with anything but the stock launcher to get this to work but last night my Zeam updated, and now running the new Zeam, the status bar is clear with just a regular wallpaper. Don't count on LP being added to this list any time I believe it has been asked plenty of times and so far it looks like it's not happening. I could be wrong I haven't been to the LP forum in a bit.

Same goes for me as stated by dreamsforgotten. New updated Glass Froyo coming today or tomorrow. Send me a pm if that theme is ok with you.
Anyone know where I can find this sensation 4G wallpaper?
FYI - This belongs in Q&A, not Development.
Look at Zedge.net, I've seen it there.
It is a nice wallpaper though.
Can't find it on Zedge though lol.
Here: Zedge. Selected Music wallpapers, typed in Equalizer in the Search bar. It looks like the first one, named Equalizer, just rotated. You could easily use GIMP to get it to look like how you'd want it to.
go here and ask in their forum. Someone would probably send it to you or post it for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1113
If anyone wants to try this, It might be a great app for the users that have a hard time seeing the grey on black that the present notification bar is displayed on the stock jelly bean ROM. I have tried a bunch of apps that change the bar's colors and some are really vivid, but are not able to display active things that pop in the bar like weather beetle, screebl icon, etc. It should be possible even without root, because the apps that are already available, can work on non rooted phones. All I want to do is change the color. That ought to be a piece of cake for someone familiar with the inner workings of the jelly bean ROM! If root is required, then so be it! either way would really rock!
I hope someone will jump on this and make it an aroma with color options when flashing....Just change the color!
Thanke!
Like the idea, but to get better help with this you're better off putting it in themes and apps section.

Thanks! I didn't know where the post would be most effective. Maybe a mod could move it there, rather than me double posting.
Thanks!
Hope there is someone that can do it for us!
Aloha!
I let them no, hope someone helps you out.
The Themes and Apps section is really for releases, mods and apks (once you boil it down). This is more of a request type thing. Maybe I can put it in Q&A?
Thoughts?

Also you can check out the general Android Themes section too. IIRC in the old days, we used to use Metamorph and ZipThemer and you could use the correct xmls and they would replace your pre-existing files in the Framework-res.apk and make a redo.zip (only ZipThemer did this) that you could flash. But like I said that was in the old days before we ever had a systemUI.
I wasn't too sure but thought metamorph was his best bet. I've personally never used it... Q&A is good though, I think.
