Look around as theres a cab file to make the icons black and white which is what Im using.
This one looks right up your alley:

I haven't tried it myself, so I can't give an opinion.
On the topic of flashing a custom ROM: Its not difficult, and really not scary as long as you read all the guides BEFORE you start, and follow the directions carefully. It seems a little intimidating at first. But once you do it, your response will likely be "Wow, that was easy!"
Thanks everyone I'm goingto try the Dusk Evo theme. There is a dailer too that looks sweet so again thanks.
Have you managed to install it? I haven't, I'm on the same att leaked rom. CHT works fine though.

OK, I have installed this theme (Dusk EVO) on one of my devices that is running this leaked stock rom. Do not install it if you have CHT installed, it will disable your CHT and it will not run properly if there are other visual mods already installed. I did a hard reset on my device and then installed this theme, the dialer and the task bar icons and it is now running pretty sweet. I am afraid to install CHT even though I want/need it for daily use. Also, since this theme must be installed to device memory, you are going to lose a lot of space on the device. After installing the three mods mentioned above I only had 36 MB left open on the device itself for installing programs.
I am now going to install crud scraper and see what I can free up before going any further. There may be another hard reset in the very near future. I think this theme was orriginally designed for the Leo which has much more storage space that the Rhodium.
Will report back after Crud Scraper does it's magic and let y'all know how much it frees up.
Loaded both no problem so far. looks nice.
OK, got the theme all loaded, latest CHT and Duttys Task Manager installed, cleaned all bloatware with crudscraper and now I have roughly 65MB device storage free. Not as much as I would like, but since almost everything else I use will be installed to storage card, I should be fine.
There does seem to be a few glitches such as, the battery indicator in the task bar disappears randomly and will not come back, task bar itself becomes unuseable from time to time, tapping the stylus on it will only make a "ding" noise and not bring up notifications or the Windows start menu. Sometimes it can be fixed by a soft reset or restarting Sense, other times not. It just seems to have a mind of it's own and it will only function when and if it wants to.
Also, if I try to change the wallpaper it will not let me. Not even to any stock wallpapers that shipped in the rom. I'll most likely be doing that hard rest in the morning and just use the latest CHT with that, along with a few custom graphics tweaks that I have done myself.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, I tried all of the lockscreen options available and none of them work. I seem to have no lockscreen at all now, but did before installing CHT. This seems to be directly related to the task bar screwing up, since it is usually after trying to lock the device that the problem presents itself.
I hope that anyone else that has installed this theme, CHT on the new rom, have had a better experience than I have. It looked good, even without wallpaper, but I'll take performance over looks if I have to make that decision.

I downloaded the altered haykuro build with the 5 home screens. If i download this, will it change that? What bonuses come with it?
Its the same as my other altered one just aero now
This looks amazing!!!
I'm glad that someone is actually porting themes for Haykuro's 6.0 builds!! Thanks!!
Keep them coming!!
i would port this but im not a big fan of the manup blue theme or the 5 screens...;
anyway to take it out...?
also; i like the aero glos combination theme for the dudes build in the other thread;
could someone port that to haykuro's 6.0?
Is there any way someone can make a 6.0r1 Theme Template? I tried it but I got an error flashing it, btw the Aero Icons r the best
This is an excellent port! I think the status bar is perfect.. Great job on this

Yes, I've had the exact same problem, but I'm not sure exactly what's causing it. I had a base 6.0r1 with a couple of apps installed and the drawer.apk fix, and then attempted to put a themed 601 on top of it. I'm not sure if this is the culprit, but I'm staying away from theming this build for now.
I solved it by doing a factory data reset in the OS, turned off, booted into recovery, did another wipe (doubt this was necessary but I did it anyway), rebooted back into recovery, and installed the base 6.0r1.

Now that you brought this issue up, I just tried making a call for the first time since flashing this theme with a wipe and I am getting com.android.phone force close. Something is wrong with this port. A little research is needed.

The only things I did to the stock 6.0r1 build, other install Linda and Better Terminal, was install the fixed Launcher.apk and swapped out the audio files for the v2 louder ones.
Another thing I've noticed when using the 6.0r1 themed builds, is that there seems to be something strange going on with the boot screens. I see the HTC logo, then the white/blue Magic screen, then it goes to the sim lock page. after I unlock my sim, it goes back to the HTC screen, then an all black screen with some kind of logo on it . At first i thought it was a desktop wallpaper, but then the real wallpaper kicks in, and it's not in the wallpaper gallery. It almost looks like a curvy, glossy "i". I always ignored it
On second thought, my problems might have been from the other theme.
I downloaded this aero one, but when I installed it, I didn't see the aero notification bar. I had the white one with the new battery icons. I probably flashed the wrong update.zip. Chalk that one up to user error on my part.
I know for sure, the first time I got the "unable to make calls" issue, I was using the new battery icons, white notification bar, new data connection themed port from the other thread
Nabzilla, if you have time or another phone, try installing that one again and see what happens. I just looked in that thread, and I didn't see anyone else bring this up. I'm stumped.
BTW, I'd try again, but I'm about to go out for the night and I need a stable build that makes calls. Even though a night without the gf "checking up" on me doesn't sound half bad.
Update: Did a wipe and re-flashed the original 6.01 Haykuro rom; then relashed the aero 6.01 theme without a wipe this time. The phone is working perfectly now. Non wipe update seams to be the answer Very happy with this theme, thanx again for porting this!

I'm not a newb and I've flashed at least 50 times on my Tilt 2. I have been running Energy roms for a while and decided to try the new offering from the Cell Pro series. Didn't like it and decided to flash back to an Energy rom again. However...when I do, I still have the screen from the Cell pro rom (The first screen when booting the device, can't remember which one that is called) then everything is Energy and perfectly fine. Wondering how to get rid of that, I've ran the Task 29 and re-flashed to no avail. Any help?
Update***With the help of Russ with the team responsible for the Cell Roms. I have found the fix. The first screen upon boot is indeed the "Splash Screen", this will revert that back to the original TP2 Splash.
Link Here
Thanks ya'll.
Nobody...........?
Probably because you're flashing a barebones version of the Energy Rom Series... At least thats what your signiture says. Flash a version that has Sense in it and you should get one of his boot screens.

You would think so but I tried that by flashing a GTX rom as well. Same problem. Is this actually the "Splash screen"?

I think so. I can't say that flashing a Titanium will or won't update the initial screen; I was flashing from an NRG CHT, so the screen would have been as expected. I have since gone back to CHT; it is the same as the Titanium, except that Sense is available if desired. The Titanium uses 30 Mb less storage memory, but when running the basic SPB Pocket Plus, the RAM memory useage is almost identical between Titanium and CHT.
Did you do a task 29 before flash?

No sir, I have not. Thank you. I'll try, although now that I know for sure it is the splash screen I can change the directory for the image by using Advanced Config I believe.
Still, no joy.
So...Still having this issue, even after re-flashing to new roms, tried going to a 2.1 rom and it's still there. Tried re-flashing back to a cell rom and it's still there, tried the new Max Sense energy rom and it's still there. It's mostly just a minor inconvenience, but still annoying. Any help?
...
I'm guessing youre talking about when you first turn on your device, like on the Energy roms where it says Touch Pro 2 in white letters on a black screen?
If so, then in order to change it, you have to flash it separate from your rom, kinda like you do with a radio.
AFAIK some chefs cook one into thier roms and some dont.
Never bothered changin or messin around w mine, like you I like the plain ol tp2 in white letters on black bg

So what is that screen called? The Boot screen?
i dunno the correct terminology for it for sure, but i am reasonably confident that it is called a bootsplash. it sounds like NRG doesnt cook one into his roms is probly why re-flashing doesnt give your old one back.
im pretty sure there is a thread in /themes and apps that has one or two that you can d/l and flash tho if you really dont like the one youre stuck with now
or could try askin for it in the energy rom thread, you probly wont get it right away, but maybe someone smarter than me can get it off thier device and upload it for you. If so, i'd imagine you could simply flash it using customruu just like flashin a rom

Hi all,
I'm looking at some vanilla Roms right now, as I'm sick of all the HTC crap But I really can't stand the Vanilla default rounded-white-awfull style and love the blak HTC's one. I've looked over the internet but I only find some framework-res.apk that would replace the notification bar. ANd I would like to replace all the look of vanilla (included radio buttons, checkboxes etc)
So here I come with this idea. Taking the framework-res.apk of an htc rom, let's say VillainRom for e.g (if they don't see any drawbacks in that) and replace a lots of stuff in a vanilla one, e.g ezHero, as this is the one I'm looking at.
Now, knowing the fact that I've never done some Rom customizing before, is this a quite easy task... I mean, some png are different in size, would this be a problem ? Do I have to do something else appart from zip align, re sign etc ?
Cheers,
LTourist
PS : and don't answer me "if you don't know that, you shouldn't do it" because the one who do must have started somewhere before becoming a rom expert
you should take a look at SuperHero from the VillainROM guys.
almost exactly what you describe.

Why don't you try it & see?
This should help: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-pulse-pulse-modaco-com/302404/ande-android-design-editor/
If you need any help I will be glad to help.
I was on SuperHero 1.1 once upon a time... but since the version 2, I don't want to go on it again... This version is, imo, just villain without sense home... which i already have on my villainROM... Moreover, there is still so many htc crap under SuperHero, like sms, clock etc...
I will have a look at the soft you're pointing to me 42turkeys, looks promising
How about: Take a great Cyanmod base (VanillaEclair because of its awesome power saving kernels and CM 5.0.7, or the straight 5.0.8 port) - and try theming with a CM theme? Problem with having Sense frameworks is that of space - and memory usage. They will always run in b/g
Scratch that - Just tried this and hung on loading screen.
Same here, but with the framework-res.apk modification that 42turkeys gave me. I started from ezHero...
I totally agree, sense framework is hell, that's why I would really like to have the best of the two world. And a vanilla rom fits in 60MB whereas SuperHero take more than 100MB... for absolutly useless app's and features... Vanilla with CM and "sense" look would be awesome!!!
Didn't know about the CM theme, i look at it tomorrow, it's too late now, off time
Good luck! If you need any help just ask and I can test stuff for you as I'm running EZHero too.
I assume "theming" CM is actually using Metamorph, right ?
Well, I'll try to learn how to do it this evening. Just in the mean time, I give a try at superhero again, just to be sure I don't wan't any crappy sense stuff, and I'm now fully convinced... SuperHero crashed this morning by waking me up as the htc clock was ringing but without htc's lockscreen...
VillainRom team has made an incredible work since a while, but this release of SuperHero is just a joke to me... (sorry for those who worked hard on it )
EzHero/Sense look, I'm coming
Well, I can't manage it...
Can't do metamorph because it seems dead and the only reliable informations I could find was videos made by stericsson... Which is not helpfull regarding the xml file tags and others specification used by metamorph...
I managed to boot with a modified framework-res.apk but android is crashing just after boot up... I tried to pushing the original apk but I got the same errors since then... So maybe it's not my apk which is bad but just the method I'm copying it : the brute force !!! (adb push ^^)
Does it gonna work if I'm making an update.zip ?
If somebody could just point me where to start, I'll be gratefull

Hi
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place or whatever.
I'm looking for themes for LeeDroid 2.1, I thought that this would be a good place to put them all here. Specifically I'm looking for a straight up espresso bar mod, and I'm interested what else works with LeeDroid
Me too
+1 for this request
Are there any known working themes, because the ugly white ico of gmail and sms's is just too ugly...
Thanks for helping us ;-)
themes made for the official htc froyo update will work with leedroid, have you tried making your own , using the dr droid online kitchen?
I have indeed had a look at the excellent Dr Droid kitchen, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but indeed nice. I'm not too fussed with changing Sense's icons, especially since the OTA recently added some colour.
What I would like to do however, is get the espressobar and some other Launcher type theming, that still enable the full use of Sense's widgets, my Clock and News widgets are going NOWHERE thanks.
Trouble that I've found with the espressobar is that I can't find a solid straight up version for 2.2, correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I can't see it.

Those two themes would go nice together for sure, the whole custom icon for each app is good, but it does take a lot of work, besides I adore Sense's icons.
Yeah, I've studied the thread you linked before, that's what I want, just EspressoMod, for both home and lock/call screens, butit's for 2.1 as far as I can tell.
And why adb? What's wrong with an Update.zip
I'd be happy to test your theme once complete, as long as there are no reboot loops lol! I LOATH reboot loops! Give me an e-mail when it's done or just for whatever! Should be in my profile.

Hi there,
I didnt realise it was a 2.1 but if you read all the way back, they ported it for 2.2 already and packed as a zip. Should work on the latest leedroid 2.1 as well since all my theme files I used is from all the way back since 1.6

As usual, do a Nandroid backup before applying anything.
I really tried searching around, but I can't seem a straight answer. I just bought the Evo, my first Android phone coming from Windows Mobile and webOS.
I rooted my Evo using the Unrevoked software and instructions followed from this website. Can the Sense UI be skinned? I would like to explore this if it's possible with my current ROM. I remembered how easy it was to skin the TouchFlo 3D ui in Windows Mobile, but I don't think that's the same in this case.
I tried different ROMS, but they seem to strip a lot of the software that I don't mind having. I would greatly appreciate it if you could point me into the right direction.
Thanks again!
Yup, you can.
Take an HTC Sense rom you want to theme and goto system/framework/htc.resources.apk
I've been working on this for a little bit and it appears that the framework icons(ie notification bar icons, buttons, etc) are split between the two.
Hope this helps

Take a look into Metamorph, that's probably the easiest way, and right up your alley for what you want to do. Themeing is time-consuming and labor intensive, no matter what method you use to do it (especially if you start messing with the infamous .9.png's) so don't get too frustrated.
Search for the threads about MM and the .9's and you'll be on your way.
