Change theme of Android build on Diamond? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

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.)

Sorry, it requires a wipe. Hykuro has not released a non wipe and there is no template yet. I wish there was the files are all over the place compared to RC33.

Okay. Thanks for explaining. So I think we can work together on this because I have a pretty simple way of doing this and it saves alot of time.
For some reason my builds are giving some people the
"process com.android.phone has stopped uexplectidly. please try again"
error and I can't figure out why. It looks like you figured it out. If you could explain what you did to eliminate the problem we can have working builds going for every theme out there.
thanks!!!!!
Can someone tell me why this only seems to work with the H builds? I tried the H build and went back to the G, but I me the themes, especially the notification bar icons which can't be changed with apps like OpenHome. So why does the H build get all the modifications?

I use the H builds and was getting bored of stock icons. So I decided to port Gloss Suite over and share for anyone who also uses H with apps to sd. Also these builds get an update every Friday so no themer is going to want to do this every week, specially since there is no way of update without wipe.

@johnowa636: I have made a non-wipe theme template for you based on 5.0.2-Hr4.
It consists of:
-- apps
-- framework
-- media
-- fonts
If you decide not to use any of these, make sure to change the "update-script".

Should be fine. I do not believe that any of these files are different in those 2 versions.
Anyway, I will check once again and get back to you later.
This template should work for both H versions.
However, it will not work for G versions.
I have created a theme template for the G versions as well.
5.0.1Gr4-theme-template.zip
I should probably create a new thread with these templates.
Did anyone attempt to try to install gloss theme on hr5 zh yet?

[THEME]_DeepBlue_For_SGS_JPU/JPX/JPY

Hello, I have seen few themes around, but in every single one of them, I've been missing something. Tiny uneccessary things and details.
So I have created theme to my liking. rom-g's baterry mod with some icons from R64's theme, and few other icons made by me or taken from some other template. Just theme I think of as special one :-D
Maybe you may want something more then stock AOSP lockscreen and stock notification bar.
Take look here:
If you've found theese picture nice, then you may be willing to use another zip install.
JPU Version
Copy DeepBlueTheme_By_Virnik.zip file to your internal SD card, and install via CWM.
JPX/JPY Version
DeepBlueTheme_JPY_By_Virnik_v0.8.zip
PS: That one smilie left behind unthemed has been already fixed in the actual version
PS: If somebody knows how to make extended Power Menu, and is willing to help, I will welcome such help - Let me know. I have tried it myself, but I have messed it up somewhere, so it didn't worked.
Nice... going to try now.
i'll give it a try too, it looks really nice.
edit: just curious though, would it break the extended power menu, that i have with darkyy's rom/theme?

Strange. I am running stock JPU with CF-Root and Voodoo lagfix, and all is working right.
BTW, I have done Purple version of the theme for my wife. Somebody interested?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
First post updated with updated version of the theme
I am still unable to recompila apk, after changes regarding progress bar (I am using blue one from R64's theme now), and still unable to create reboot menu. It seems that apk tool have some problems with my 64b windows. I will try with linux later this week.
If somebody is willing to modify theme to add ex. power menu, let me know please. Because right now, I am helpless.
EDIT: Updated again. Added few modded apps, changed some icons, and such.
please can you reupload file for jpy?

If the theme has the settings apk then that is your problem. Or if you are running senseless that will also break it. Sense has to be installed and running to change it. Or you can do what I did and make the needed smalia edits so the personalize will still work without sense being installed

[THEME CRISKELO] DeepBlue Theme for Criskelo SGS3 V5.x

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..

Here, it should work now, just open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and select ICS_theme_2 from wherever you saved it to.

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.

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:
Your right

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.
now on cm 6.1 stable

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....
new rom for me too

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

If you could post the link to the ezgingerbread version, that would be excellent. I'm not quite ready to give up gingerbread, as it is working great even with live wallpapers.

DREAMWAVE sorry for the late reply, here is the complete link for that rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568486
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.
