Hi all
I have recently installed Android on my Diamond, and is the Android built by Cyanogen.
I wonder is it possible to change the original theme please?
I have read some threads, and seems like changes themes in ordinary Android phones require rooting.
So does the same apply to our Android on Diamond please>?
Many thanks
I tried to apply simplistic 1.1 using superfroyo rc2
But the themes requires cyanogen 6 and so caused the phone app to crash each second and i wasn't able to press reboot and apply theme button in metamorph
Maybe the problem was because I didn't used cyanogen

haven't tried it yet...since I am using SuperFroyo now, and I have installed quite a lot of apps, so need to find a way to back them up first.
By the way, have you read this site ever? Think he is one of the guy who creates the themes.
http://ultralinx.blogspot.com/
And what I am trying to say is, what he has done is in fact using different wallpaers and widget on desktop, like SwitchPro, BattStatt, Genie Widget,, etc, and the dock bar, he is simply using MnmlText, which you can find a similar one called SimplyText, and I guess u can download this simplytext for free, and change the icons on dock in LaucherPro preference.
So all I am trying to say is, we can still generate the same appearance with little bit effort, like change colors, wallpaper and icons manually.
(My opinion only, surely the guy might have put a lot effort on the theme.)
I just rooted with Cm 6.1. Using LauncherPro. I am definitely a noob at this. I was reading through the Theme section and it seemed a little overwhelming with all the different components of a theme. Is there a guide on how to exactly go about installing a theme? It seemed a lot of the ones I saw had it to where you download component by component to get the full theme. Any out there where you just download the whole thing in 1 file?
Thanks!

There are a couple of ways you can find a theme suitable for your rom then flash them if they are capable or you can use metamorph for themes that arent able to flash. Find one that's compatible with your rom and pm me or hit me up on gtalk [email protected] and I'll walk you through it.

Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.
carnt i just install via odin?, im on stock ke7 at the mo and will have to install villian rom to get this right?

Hello,
Yet again, I have upgraded my primary phone. This time, to the SGS3.
You may know my work from previous Galaxy models, for example DeepBlue Themes was popular for SGS, then for SGS2, or your wife or girlfriend may know DeepPurple Themes for those phone models.
So, here is my latest work for SGS3, DeepBlue Theme. It is in early stages, but there are no graphical artifacts in it, so whole GUI looks unified and polished.
Take a look on the screenshots, which are attached to this post. You should see their thumbnails.
As allways, I have added ICQ 5.1 smilies to the SMS and Talk apps, changed notification area icons, and changed pulldown menu. I have also modified Google Play Store, so it uses unified notification icons for update info, or for download.
You may notice that I have not only changed signal and notification icons, but I have also fixed their position, relativelly to it's network type. Just check original look of the Criskelo's ROM 5.2, and you will see it.
It is not heavy theme, as you can see. Most of the work was Criskelo's, because I have modified his own work - Criskelo's ROM 5.2.
As you may know, I love Criskelo's ROMs from SGS, over SGS2 to the latest SGS3, because he targets usability and responsivity. So by this statement, I want to thank him.
Installation is simple as allways...just download to your SDCard, make sure you have Criskelo's ROM 5.x, reboot to CWM, and install. No dalvik wipe is needed (if you are using original Criskelo's ROM). Make backup first!
If you'll find any issue, just let me know, so I can fix it.
Download:
DeepBlue Theme v0.12 for SGS III - for Criskelo's ROM v5.2
DeepBlue Theme v0.2 for SGS III - for Criskelo's ROM v5.4
DeepBlue Theme v0.3 for SGS III - for Criskelo's ROM v5.4
If you like this theme, please click Thanks button.
DeepBlue Theme v0.2/0.3 is slightly bigger, because it contains changes for Phone, Callendar, and so on... It is possible that you may have issues installing, for example ZIP installs fine, but new theme nowhere...Just let me know if this happens. It is problem of no free space left on the /system/ partition, which can be easily solved.
Thanks for your work and your sharing ! :good:

I don't propose anything. I am just saying, that if someone want to help with it, I can do anything to help. Nothing more. I have modified whole ROM package for myself only, leaving everything as it was, with only notice in the install log, that I've create the theme, with link to original thread...but this package is not public, it was not uploaded anywhere. As said before, it is here on my local hard drive, because I am working with it (playing with colors, tunning prop files, and such). That is nothing ilegal, and if I'll upload it somewhere, it will not be original ROM anymore...I've made own ROMs previously, so it is not so big deal.
And yes, everytime I've published (even modified) version of someone's work, I have asked first...just check one or two years old threads...
So you do not need to worry.

Well, my notice regarding full package was meant as "user: hey, your theme is not working, it is boot-looping" - me: "Well, pack the zip again with this apk in it, I have just forgot to add it" - simply that I have sources from which I can take needed parts to help users apply the theme... but I have minor problems with english, expressing exactly what I mean...sorry 'bout that.

Well, I suppose that it will be really easy for you to mod it. For example, once Criskelo modify ROM that way, you'll be able to copy one xml file from his framework to mine theme's apk, and you are done.
Could you please update the theme to be compatible with v5.3? I am not a fan of the default look! Love the ROM otherwise.

To say the truth, I HATE default look...not only Criskelo's ROM's, but also default Android look I will theme upcomming 5.4 once it's out There is no reason to theme 5.3, when it will be obsolete so soon.
EDIT: Theme version 0.2 for Criskelo's v5.4 is already uploaded, and link in the first post added. Enjoy.

You have to download proper Criskelo's ROM 5.4, and flash it. Then you'll flash this theme, and you are done.
For Widgets:
- Beautiful Home Widgets
PhoneInfo
SystemInfo
BatteryWidget
PhoneUsage
Contact Widget (Sagrebin)
ScrollableNews Widget
Launcher:
Go LauncherEx
Go LauncherEx Notifications
Others are just icons, wallpapers, and such...easy to search and download, or create own. Because fully modded ROM was forbidden after discussion with Criskelo's team, I can share only official ROM package, and then you'll be able to download and flash this ROM, if you wish..

1. Unzip the theme to a folder in your sd card
2. Go to market and install the metamorph app.
3. Use View attachment UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to root your phone if you are not root already, or my advice-if you have the time for it-is to install a custom rom.
4. Enable USB debugging in settings-applications-development.
5. Open the metamorph app that you installed earlier.
6. Tap "pick existing theme"
7. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the theme to, and then select the "ICS_theme_1.0.xml" file to let metamorph know how to use the theme.
8. Follow the prompts and when it reboots, just let it, as it needs to reboot to edit system files, much like chkdsk on windows.
9. Enjoy! This theme has a black statusbar and holo buttons much like the ones in ICS -correction- they are the original buttons, taken directly from the source! Give me feedback if you think there is anything missing
P.S. I am working on a video tutorial on how to install cyanogenmod, so if you are having trouble rooting your phone, then it will hopefully help.

Hey dude, I was rooted already running an gingerbread build, the launcher that comes with the rom was launcher2, just wanna ask if your ICS theme could also be use on that rom. thanks in advance.
It will likely work on almost any ROM, but some elements might not be themed, best of luck!:fingers-crossed:

Yeah bro, I tried it but nothing change, I used the metamorph.apk from market and followed what you have said, but I think its not suitable for the rom I'm using.
But thanks for the help you given me... :good:
you might need to adjust the reboot timeout in metamorph settings, so that it doesn't reboot in the middle of the operation.
You might try ninjamorph, but no promises. What ROM are you using? If you want, I can email you a copy of the one I know it works for.

hello bro, sorry for the late reply, recently I tried it on EzGingerBread but it failed when I apply it nothing happen but now I'm on CM 6.1stable (I don't want gingerbread builds I find them so slow on my phone) thanks in advance.
That's funny, I just moved to ezgingerbread. I'm not actually finding it that slow with the ram hack. I literally flashed it about 15 minutes ago, and this was sent using it. By the way, I found that It only really worked for the rom i had included the name of in the xml file. I'm working on bringing holo to gingerbread as we speak though....

Oh, you just flashed ezginger while me I also flashed a few moments ago this new rom I newly discovered also a froyo rom its pre-themed ICS rom named froyo cream sandwich I forgot who post this but its nice superb, Im now testing it.
Send me a link, that sounds awesome! However, is it compatible with the ezterry ram hack?
Yes it is, its themed by darinx (probably butchered his name) there are two ROMs actually, one based off froyo by Laszlo and one of dream team froyo, two of the better froyo builds for the dream
Check the dev threads and youll find it within the first few pages
Also andisa (probably butchered his name too) made a great ICS theamed version of ezgingerbread that all includes some additional tweeks, I don't believe he ever created an xda thread but I can find you the link if your interested

Just want to ask what was the things you did to make G1 still great even with live wallpapers under the gingerbread version?? heheh,,,thanks in advance,,,
what I did to speed it up was remove some apps that were running in the background, such as dialer, which was taking up a solid 7mb of ram all the time. I now have a pretty consistent 42mb of ram while at my launcher, adw ex. While it won't beat any phone at a benchmark, it will run quite smoothly while flipping between launcher pages. Try using swap and a task killer, I am using smart ram booster and have the widget situated over the clock on the statusbar for whenever I want a quick boost in speed.
