Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.
To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.
hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.
Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.
yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....
I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.
how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks
if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.
Konikob made the exspresso rosie for stock before but he had kinda fell occurs the face of the earth. I was wondering if another dev could make this happen. I am willing to donate to make this happen. For clarification it is the stock rosie that come with the fresh rom.
Also someone made a remap of the rosie but it wasn't what I was looking for.

Are you both 100% stock ROM with root only? I.E your ROM is still odexed / never flashed any sort of custom rom or theme?
A MetaMorph would make it a moot point, but if you do not use MetaMorph, and want a simple flashable zip via recovery, it is best to know EXACTLY what you are running, so that the same apk files are flashed, with the exception of the changes for espresso.

When you say remap, are you referring to a different skin of the bottom soft keys? I have a zip that will simply replace the look of the bottom buttons, but there is no functional difference from stock.
Espresso Rosie for Stock Deodexed ROM (3.29.651.5)
Okay, here is a flashable zip that should modify your Rosie to black espresso from the current Fresh ROM, and change nothing else.

I'm using 3.29 stock with root. Odex (but with flashable themes. New Files Added To My Rom.)
Edit: works great. One request tho, it has a blue highlight when pressed. If you can mod it to have a black glass button (just a little darker) to match. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the confirmation. The OP's request was to pull from Fresh ROM, so that's where the source came from...
If you know a different espresso rosie from another ROM, I suppose I can quickly modify / whip up another version.

Just downloaded this rom, and looking at the applicable files, the espresso has green highlights when pressed, as opposed to blue, but definitely not black. Do I have the wrong one?

No, you're right. I had used a previous version that was all black and assumed it was the same. Thank you tho. I just packed a file with the "Sense" green highlights.
How would I go about with combining rosies. I want this rosie look, caulkulins 5 apps in a row mixed with your transparent drawer.

Sounds like you got yourself an espresso rosie with green highlights, mind sharing it? Been looking for it. Preferably without the 5 apps in a row.
I decided I couldn't wait and I went ahead and made my own. I realize that the Espresso Rosies floating around at the moment are not as polished as they could be, and even slightly blurry, so I set out to fix these issues as well as customize it to suit my tastes.
Changes made:
- Redid images to suit the higher resolution of the Evo. Cleaned up the edges.
- Changed the styling and colors of the buttons a bit.
- Updated the widget removal button to match the rest of the theme.
- Made all buttons transparent.
- Changed position of the button dividers.
- Made four different colors: light green, dark green, black, and blue.
- A different version that comes with the Espresso Lock Screen (not quite done with this yet).
I am running an unthemed stock deodexed Android 2.2 ROM (based off the latest OTA). So I expect this to work with the same and similar type ROMs. These ZIP files are signed and flashable through recovery.
Download Espresso Rosie:
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Light Green
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Dark Green
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Black
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Blue
Download Espresso Rosie with Espresso Lock Screen*:
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Black w/ Lock Screen
EspressoRosie-prjkthack Dark Green w/ Lock Screen
* I'm not completely done with the Espresso Lock Screen for the ones listed above. I want to work on the images to clean it up a bit, because it does appear to be a bit low-res. So for now, these contain the lock screen that's already all over these forums.
Note: The way the highlighted colors will look on your phone will vary slightly since it is a transparent color on top of whatever color wallpaper you currently have. Best way to see how it will look would be to simply flash it on your phone and see for itself.

I definitely like yours except I think that the green highlight is too light. Any chance of getting it the same color or tone of green as the espresso that I posted?

just really wanted to ask why there wasnt any Metamorph themes out there, this little gem enables themes to work across most if not all roms
good example is this theme here > Gh0stUI for villain 1.4 after spending 30 minutes converting it to a Metamorph I was able to apple this to my Lite'ning Rom v1.5 phone.
I tried to metamorph a theme from android 2.2 but did not work...after unzip nothing happen...do youq have an idea ?? How to use it correctly? Especially the XML part...
I started actually a thread called darkedge theme...its a theme for android 2.2 have you already heard about ? Since you seem to have experience in this domain..do you think you can be in help please ? The problem is to invert the XML part from black writing to white on black background in system to and all apps. ..let me know please if you have an idea.
Completely agree with ratcom, that's why i always make myself morphs as opposed to themes.
I'm in the middle of making a morph at the moment but i don't know if I'll let it into the wild, ill see how it comes along in the next few days.
Hopefully there will be more morphs sooner rather than later.
Hey everyone. I know that you all have way to much on your hands already but I just wanted to throw something out there.
I am looking for a theme that is not very far from stock, actually it would be exactly like stock except instead of green colors everywhere, you would have a different color like blue. I would REALLY love one where the green was changed to purple or a purple/pink color but I would probably be the only one to use it so blue is ok.
Would this be a hard theme to make since not much is changing but the green color? I wish I knew how to do it. I am using the EK02 UnNamed ROM also and there aren't many theme options so maybe this could be one of the firsts.
You can try the ICS theme we have, some people have gotten it to work on UnNamed, some havent.
It's not that it's hard to change it all to pink, it is just very time consuming to change every single piece to pink. It could be something simple like just the battery & network Icons but going all out and changing the overscroll glow, dialer, and the framework etc. is a ton of work. Most of it requires working with .9 files which can't just be edited like a normal .png.
i think a red one would be awesome. blood blood blood.
i can imagine changing everything would be tedious. tracking things down in every menu, etc etc.
requires more patience than i probably have.

I made (edited) a theme chooser theme once for my motorola cliq on cyanogen and it was very time consuming and I had to work with a png9 editor and it did kinda suck...
If I could find a theme out there that was very close to stock....I would have no issues editing the icons myself and then sending it back to the owner for resigning or whatever needed to be done. I just can't find a theme that is close to stock LOL.

You would just download a stock rom and extract the images.
