this is still a work in progress as i am looking to create a few more system icons and the launcher tab on the homescreen. i will be updating this semi regularly(school and work have both kicked up a notch recently so i will be on a little less frequently) main thing i am looking for is a good picture of sylar taking someone's head off. if you have a good pic of someone who got scalped by sylar(preferably with the head removed but i could work with almost anything) i found several pics but i don't like them since his hand is in the pic. if you have any suggestions or anything you would like to say about this theme then by all means let me know i am up for trying anything. i am still working on getting my eclipse up and running, some errors are keeping me from being able to edit .9.png images. as well as hex edits might be attempted later.
here is the link for you to download:
HEROES.zip
like i said i am up for suggestions, let me know what you think, if you are a heroes fan then by all means you HAVE TO HAVE THIS THEME
**to do
battery
random statusbar icons
FONT(big fix for those that use the calc, i am missing a few chars like minus and multiply
couple of other things that i will list as i find them, this has been a WIP for several weeks and i am finally ready to release a beta
Could use a bit of polishing/etc. And change the pull tab of Claire's cut head. Looks ugly and doesn't fit well. And I assume there are 2 of them from dxTop? If so, you should use the default home to showcase themes. Unless this is a dxTop only theme. If so, please state that.
Good start though. Big fan of the show, watch it every Monday
i know the tab looks bad right now, but it's actually really hard to find adecent pic of sylar scalping someone. i meant to use the default home screen for the pics so i will re upload them later when i get to my computer and have a different home screen screenshot. if you have an idea of something to try for the app tab then please let me know, i am up for any and all improvements.
Love the theme and will not be switching to anything else in the near future. Would love to see some more of your work. A+++
I would probably make the clock look like the eclipse. Just a thought.
edit: or how about using that "S" symbol as the pull tab and using one of the many painted artworks as the wallpaper. . .
thank you, i am now on dude's build so i will probably be making themes for that build only, and maybe port to the JF build since most users use his build. i am not sure if i am gonna port this over since i lost all the icons a week ago when i went back to ubuntu 8.10
why didnt i see this before!!!?? ... would be awesome if you ported to 1.5 .. Heroes is the the only show i have EVER watched religiously.
this was posted a while ago and i figured since i got almost no response about it, and only a half dozen downloads that it wasn't worth fixing up more or porting it. i will download my own theme sometime soon and see what i can do. i was working on a dude theme containing black and blue(i prefer dark themes) but the 1.1 got released with manup's black and blue theme so i might start over. i have no big ideas on a theme yet, just a few minor tweaks for some personal use not to be released
well it looks and IS amazing. Only theme i use.
Are you going to port this too ADP 1.5?
i will probably port to dude version and JF haykuro users sorry but i have no intention of porting it to those builds. i do not know when i will be porting but probably to the dude build soon since i am missing my theme a lot
P.S. the status bar will be black in my port as well as a couple other things
JUST HAVE A FEW MORE ICONS TO CHANGED, WILL KEEP IT UPDATED, IN A FEW DAYS, FOR NOW ENJOY...LATA

I like it... Just wish it worked with the new 1.5!
u have the dudes build, i can port it to it if u want, just have to investigate the folders since they moved around a few things, i will try...
THis theme flames!!!!! wen will it come out????
i am finishing up on some icons, thinking about changing the color of some things, but dont want to make it over the top, plus i used some things from moondust, only the the backgrounds of the icons, nothing major...but released soon
i have the dudes template, so i will port it and release that also....
Did he post the latest template yet i don't think so,it will be different then the other one.
oh ok, well when it comes out i will do my best, thanks..

Looks great!!!! cant wait for it to come out!
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

Probably the theme section of the forums as this really isn't development related...
Yep, I agree. I saw my mistake after my first post... But it was to late Maybe some moderator could move the thread in that forum to avoid duplicated thread
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.

Hi, i am currently mixing this 2 gorgeous themes

Im not exactly sure what you mean by straight up espresso bar but theres a thread for it at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705967&highlight=MOD+espresso
Hope this helps!
I forgot to mention theres a minimalist bar as well from the simplism theme
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 have replaced the new (IMO not so good) music and thumbnails within the Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 ZeroEditing.apk. They still appear in the Highlights section of the gallery under the new theme names only they show the old thumbs and use the old music.....
Hope this is helpful for some. I missed the old music too much and wanted it native. I've tried to pull both new and old through but I don't know enough about developing to get it working. Maybe someone else can.

Thanks mate, i will test it. I like more the Sense 5 themes than Sense 5.5. Any way to get both versions working together?
Thanks mate! I like Sense 5 themes more! :highfive::highfive::good:
just noticed that I've put one of the old mp3's in twice so I'll fix it and re-upload.
Note that this apk doesn't include the old 'themes' as such. Just the old music. I'm looking in to how to incorporate the old themes. It is definitely possible but as I'm new to this it's taking me a little while... But it's fun learning
I recently updated and miss the old highlights as well, For some reason I don't even have the normal themes like Gotham, poloaris, etc anymore when I upgraded, I have 12 completely different ones. Perhaps its a difference in the European version? I have been trying to see if I could combine these all as well but haven't had any luck. Any progress by any chance?

It's not just you it's universal. It seems there's not many of us that are annoyed by the change and removal of the good old themes.... Such a shame.... I'm revisiting this project for a bit though to see if I can figure something out.... There must be a way to bring all the themes through.
