Hi!
I'd really like to modify the theme on OpenDesire, but i got no idea what so ever about how i get started.
I know nothing about android development. I am a web developer and i have been it for 3 years.
Hope you can help me
Thanks in advance

Hello all... newbie here, so please don't bash me too bad. I've used a ton of your ROM's when I had my Hero, and now that I have my EVO, I'm excited to try some more. I just got mine several days ago, and until someone gets a consistent rooting method for the new build, I'm gonna wait to root it.
However, is there a way to skin the dialer or lockscreen while stock (unrooted)? I'm not a developer, so that may be a dumb question.... but, I was hoping someone had a skin that looked/acted similar to the iPhone dialer.
Anybody? Thanks in advance.

No it's not, have to be able to change framework & system files... Just unrevok Your Phone, full root & S-off.
hi guys, can anyone one of you pls post a simple yet attractive theme which conserves the least amount of battery & looks pretty good ???
i desperately want it.
because, default theme with Touchwiz looks too bright & shiny... kind of glaring to my eyes. i think that can also consume lot of battery..
i prefer dark background with white letters & fonts would be best...
i hope someone here can help me.
i saw one user posting his desktop in post your desktop thread. but he has never told us the steps he used to get that theme.
i request him to pls share his settings her, as we know what kind of softwares he has used to get that effect....
help us to feel better guys...

Is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
I assume you would need to have rooted first?
I can't seem to find anything here that deals with that...

That wont help him ..
If I was you Id flash the Lite'ning Rom (link below)
Great rom and it gives you the theme with the rom ..
From there you can flash any KE7 theme from the forums ..
There are usually instructions on how to do it ...
You need a deodexed rom to flash themes ..
Here's a few good starting points ...this will also give you root..

We all had to start somewhere ..If he needs help or more info then he only has to ask ..
Some of us on XDA work together as a community...
The help and advice if there if he wants it ...if not then that's fine..
The point of your post is ? ...
I agree we where all newbies at one time, even i am just getting to grips with it.
All the help you need is on this forum, dont be afraid to ask.
Re:
Sorry didnt see that you have seen the post your desktop thread, but the answer to your questions are within that thread itself.
Most of the posters have mentioned the software they have used (Launchers, widgetlocker, icon packs, backgrounds) etc. I agree its a pain to navigate through the pages looking for this kind of info but hey its wortht the effort! I am a newbie to Android too and the post your desktop thread has taught me so much, most of the software listed there is free and on the Android market too.
Personally I am using Simi clock, battery and weather widgets along with the 'Beautiful widgets'. Try these for a start.

I was hoping I could change a theme, ie the look of the icons, the fonts etc without having to flash a ROM....I have flashed ROM's before but I always found the phone to become a bit unstable afterwards. (This was on the SE X1 so perhaps it was the crappy phone rather than the ROM!!)
I can't see anywhere how to change the global icons or the global font's and things.
I was hoping you could just install/uninstall a theme...but it doesn't look like you can do such a thing.
I have Widget Locker and Launcher Pro but none of those seem to allow a total global theme...
Will Go Launcher EX enable me to do all that?

Hey all, this is one of my first post here, but I have been a user since the original Moto Droid. Before asking any questions I wanted to thank EVERYONE here who has helped me & the Mods for keeping this place so neat and clean!
Does anyone know of a way to get the pure android experience on this phone? (i.e. sms, dialer, icons, lock screen, etc) Like what comes on the new Galaxy Nexus!?
Please forgive me if this has been addressed already, I couldn't find anything with any solutions or definite answers.
Thanks!

Your answer is
AOKP
CM9
Codename
Those are as stock they can get

Yup, or Codename, they are based off Android Open Source Project but have a few tweaks and tons of settings to play with.
Thanks for the fast replies! Clicked the button for you both.
I was hoping for a way to just strip it like you could senseUI on the Evo.

There used to be some bare roms, but now now with ICS going on, it seems gingerbread roms are going away.

And came up with a very fast, battery saving, pure(ish) android experience.
Hello People,
I need your help with something that appeared after the android 6 update and is a bit annoying to me at least.
When I select a theme (especially the default HTC theme) that is keep changing to other themes constantly every few minutes on its own.
I tried to see what I could find to stop this but I have been unable to find something so far.
Does anyone know what I should do to stop this?
Thanks in advance fro your help.
Cheers
