Themes? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched and searched but could anyone please give me a clear definition on how to know which themes work with what ROMs?
I have the latest installment of Fresh; are there any particularly great themes for it?
I found burst phoenix yesterday, browsing around but it didn't work.
You can delete this thread, call me names, tell me to search or whatever. I don't care. I just want to know how to differentiate between the themes. There are thousands of them..

It should say in the OP of the theme thread.

Should it? I've only seen that a few times. Thanks anyway, I'll stay on the lookout.
Ok by the way, Fresh is a sense based rom so that means that a theme like MattedBlues would work because it was designed for sense correct?

Yep, Fresh + Matted Blues used to be my combo before I went to MIUI.

xRom themes?

I know there is xSmorg, which is just as f'n cool as Smorg is for CM, but why is there not a single other theme for xRom? I understand CM is the most widely used and therefore would have many more themes for it, but seriously, only one for xRom, and it's a port of a CM theme? To be fair, xRom doesn't need much themeing, but it would be nice to have options.
i don't know about other people, but i have not used xRom so if i made themes for it then i would have to flash it every time i needed to test something. also i am lazy and there is no template but if you like my theme then i could find the time to try and port it to xRom. shouldn't be too difficult. but yeah pm me if you would like me to try it.
I'll second xROM options all day every day!
Once xrom is finalized and the template is out I'm sure there will be themes for it. I'm sure manup will be coming out with some great stuff for it as well as other theme makers. Its just gonna take time, cyanogen's builds are so popular that everyone is overlooking the xrom which is too bad cause the xrom rocks!!
ya xroms rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess it makes sense that it'll happen eventually, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. I love cyanogen's mods, but xRom just runs so much better for me.
I haven't run Red Oreo yet, but ran kspec's oreo for a few weeks and loved it. The only thing that kept me from running Red Oreo was the colors on the screenshots, they seemed VERY vibrant and I go for a much more subdued color scheme. If the red was more like the Red Hero (deeper and darker) that would be my kind of thing. Having said that, if it was ported for xRom I would definitely give it go since there is such a lack of themes.
My idea for what I think would be a very simple theme would be to replace the green on xRom with a royal blue, something that would really stand out.
There are no themes for xROM because It has already been pimped by the man himself MANUP! so if you want themes go use a cyanogen mod!

Thats so painful to read! ><
Anyway, I don't really see what xROM has that Cyan doesn't. IMO it was designed with the intention that it would stay the way it is, so people wouldnt have to worry about flashing themes.

Yeah that logic makes perfect sense, while were at it lets have just one religion, political party, bank, fast food joint and woman. Different options is a bad thing!!!
Yeah I was with you about how good manupls **** looks, but the whole "if you want themes go with cyan thing" is just bull****.
For those who want themes for xRom or ne build for tht matter....cant u just use themeporter and port it over ? correct me if im wrong (i dont think the newupdate and old update have to be same do they ?)

the problem is that themeporter only works with theme templates ... i made one here for JACxROM, but ive not completely checked it out (sorry running CM) ... so if someone wants they can be a guinea pig and try it out

[Q] Any themes or modifications for Myns? (besides the ones he has posted)

Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to knowing where to look for themes and such. I know there's a search button but I haven't found any themes that i'm interested in. I just wanna know if there are any themes for myns and if I can find different dialers or lock screens (that aren't AOSP). I mean things like transparent notification bars, and different icons and such. I already know of the ones in myns thread but I'm looking for more. Anything else you guys wanna share with me would be cool. I've honestly am at a loss as to what else I can do to my rooted phone..other than put ROMs on it >.<
Thanks

What does aroma have to do with it? Many here prefer the unthemed roms. That's why my rom is a stock base, even tho I prefer a theme. Themes are a add on in my updater so that everyone wins.

I'm saying that because of Aroma you can pretty much do whatever you like to an extent....therefore, there aren't many devs themeing. If we didn't have the luxury of Aroma, this section would definitely have at least a handful of themes.

That has nothing to do with stand alone themes. 1 developer making a theme aroma installer doesn't stop the entire forums. Joshbeach has his own theme applied to his rom. Sleshepic has his own theme applied. My rom has available themes.
Those who usually make stand alone themes are the ones who don't have there own rom, so they make a universal theme. It wouldn't make sense for the rom creators to make universal themes on top of their rom.
I also believe the community here prevents more themes from being created. Go read a thread like Jellybomb and every page has someone complain about the theme. I assume that's why Sleshepic made a mostly stock themed rom. And that's why my base is mostly stock themed.
I had one member who tried Lab Rats and was bashing it in another rom thread for having a custom boot animation and pull down. What's a rom if there is nothing specific to the rom?
Obviously I'm only speaking on my behalf and my thoughts, not anyone else mentioned in this post.

I'm not sure it is the community preventing anything.
People with chops for, or a desire to learn Android OS building/theming usually go right at making a full ROM rather than a theme for another ROM on the Sprint Note 2. That is just the way this device on Sprint has been. Even folks who are admitted beginners at the dev game, basically have taken a handful of standard patches (4-way reboot/all-apps-in-multi-window/Perseus-Kernel for example) applied them to the latest vanilla deodexed ROM and then themed the snot out of it as a new fll ROM rather than a theme patch....when they could have just themed the snot out of someone else's ROM which already basically had all the patches they wanted. I don't mean to single or look down on any one dev or person's work out in that statement, just to be clear. It is just an observation.
Hence the current situation we have...lots of folks of varying ability all pushing out their own themed TWiz ROMs, all with basically the same patches between them. It is an easy comparison to Ubuntu linux, and the dozens (hundreds rather) of themed clones that Ubuntu has....when people could just make a red theme for Ubuntu, rather than using RemasterSys and cooking an entire new Ubuntu Red themed distro.
Where's the community preventing anything? I mean maybe if devs made thorough documentation on how to theme the TWiz ROM available it would help....but that is more work for devs with lives, and that is still not the community at large's fault.

I guess I could have worded it better. I didnt mean it's the communities fault there is no themes, I just don't believe there had been much of a desire for them. I have seen more anti theming posts then requests for them in general. Then there is the user above that says all we need is the Aroma theme chooser, if everyone is happy with that, then it doesn't encourage others work. I started with helping anothers rom on my last phone.
I have a few people over here that we have taken under our wing to learn, that's what keeps xda alive. I have answered multiple pm's asking for help, and do my best to help them. It's annoying tho when you repeatedly help someone and they don't even Thank you in the op, but that's a different matter.
There are many tutorials available on how to theme, all you have to do is search. While most roms have some of the same features like 4 in 1 reboot, I believe that's because it's considered a must have to most users.
OP could google how to port it, but chooses not to try or failed and didn't get help. Users should be more proactive in my opinion, but only they can choose to.

I hadn't seen the theming guides for TWiz for making a theming patch...then again I hadn't looked.
I think most end-user people are usually against it, as theming is a personal choice and what pleases one person inevitably causes 2 more people's eyes to wince in pain. Hence why (the PITA of keeping) Morphology is a cool thing for those that want a themed TWiz....but on the dev side, keeping all of Morphology working is a PITA like I said. We've been swearing at Morphology and MA7 of late behind the scenes.
Users could be more proactive....but at the same time, there's cost and reward and how many headaches you're willing to go to to just change the color of say the SMS or SPen app.
I doubt there is a guide that will tell you where every file is because tw is such a pain with its naming. I couldn't of the top of my head tell you where a lot is, I tear apart apps and find what I think is it and test it. It's a lot of trial and error.
You can Google big parts of it tho, I have done it myself to find stuff when I was stuck. Maybe I will make a thread with some basic locations like status bar pngs. I don't know how many people would find it useful, but I guess we can see how many people are willing to try stuff on there own.

Well...and as soon as such a database or wiki document or whatever is compiled....the next TWiz update will render all of it obsolete.
Theming touchwiz is a pita because the roms are all different. My theme is based on stock, and it actually comes from my own rom, but it has taken me many, many hours to get it the way I want it. First you spend a ton of time themeing the stock rom, then devs come out with tweaked roms, and now people want you to go back and tweak you theme for each rom, or add tweaks that are rom specific to your theme, etc. It also seems like samsung/sprint tweak little bits of stuff between each leak/update so everytime something changes there is a resources that change so you have to recompile the whole freaking thing.

I have "Tried" to write a wiki just for what you need. I went through and listed each individual rom and the base it was based off of as well as the Android OS it is from. from there you can go to each rom's page and see a screenshot (if the dev provided it) of each rom. I made this to save some time for new users.

Hmm. Definatly post up in the MOAR thread. (MOAR and TPR are very similar so you can bounce between them with out too much issues) But def ask in there, I haven't personally used the multipic live wallpaper, so i couldn't tell ya. However, i'm sure it's something Team Noobz would help with.
I switched to People's this AM and the multi live wallpaper is working. I don't care for the built in dialer that doesn't return contacts correctly and switched to the Go Dialer. So far I am liking this ROM cleaner lines. I am wondering for the Google Voice integrated users if there is a way to remove Sprint's Voicemail. during the install I made sure not to install anything Sprint but it came through anyways.

[ROM][TW][GB27] build-a-rom 6/30/13 [deodexed][4.1.2]

build-a-rom​
This is not a daily driver. If you have never been on a TW JB deodexed stock ROM, then this is not for you. Flashing this ROM will boot up to the following stock, unmodified apps as packaged by Sprint: If it is not listed here then it is not included:
Phone, Contacts, Settings, Internet, Sprint Hotspot, Play Store.
Also included are ROM Toolbox Lite (jrummy), SuperSU (chainfire), and erikalin-stock app. This ROM flashes Agat63’s v1.3.0 kernel, and it has the boot animation from the S3, sound removed.
The pure Stock GB27 TW ROM zip is 507MB. Build-a-ROM is 242MB.​
Why try out build-a-rom?
We have always been able to flash the nice custom ROMs on here, flash the mods we like which other people have figured out and packaged into flashable zip files for us, and just enjoy the phone. And you should keep doing that, and click the thanks button all over the place while you do it. Build-a-ROM is for you to give some of this a shot for yourself. There are exactly two stock apk files left in here that you can delete and still boot to a phone, and that is the browser and the play store.
What can I do with build-a-rom?
The work for build-a-rom comes in two categories:
(1) Easy: Installing custom mods and apps that are already available for you. This involves either flashing a prepackaged zip file, or pushing an app into the system/app/ folder, setting permissions to 0644 (RW-R--R--) and rebooting. You can go get whatever mods and apps and tweaks and kernels that you want. I’m not naming any of them because I didn’t include any of them. You know what they are. Go nuts. Make sure they are made for deodexed GB27 TW ROM for our device. There’s nothing in the way here. It’s a blank slate. If you don’t know how to do these things, use the site search. There are a zillion guides of people telling how to push an app into the system partition, set permissions, and reboot. And flashable zips are flashed in recovery. The recovery in build-a-rom is fine for flashing mods. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash one mod per session to be safe, reboot.
(2) Do the first part first. This is a little more advanced but still not difficult. Learn how to decompile and recompile apk files. There are easy-to-use & free programs that allow you to do so. I just typed: "how to decompile apk files” (without quotes) into xda search and got 92,400 results. The benefit of learning these basic tools is that you can then follow the guides on xda. You know all of those things we’re used to having automatically in a custom ROM? ... tabbed settings, extended power menu, transparent things, hacked things, colored things, pretty toggles… etc etc... you can make them, and a lot more, by hand on your own. There are guides. You don't have to beg someone else to make the mod you want for you. You don’t even have to figure it out. You literally copy-and-paste from the guides in which other people have figured out & explained exactly what to modify. No, it’s not “development” but it’s something to feel like an accomplishment you can be proud of.
Want transparent stock toggles? Want to rearrange them? Want to put your toggles down on the bottom of your pull-down and use the top space for notifications? Search XDA for the guides. These are quick mods... You'll be amazed at what you can do. You can build this up to 100% your dream ROM – starting from a blank slate so you can feel good about the end result.

Can you even guess at how many people have downloaded and used noobnl’s EL29 direct boot to CWM zip?? It's probably well over 10,000. There are 40 thanks on that post. Ridiculous.

Disclaimer: The mods and apps and guides and tutorials on XDA are everywhere. Use the site search. I cannot possibly answer your questions on implementing any of those changes. Some of those guides have hundreds of posts of Q&A for just one certain modification. Read them. I assure you that whatever question or problem you have, it's addressed already on xda. Search and read. I’m giving you a stable blank slate called build-a-rom. It comes with nine apps and it works. You take it from here. I want to be clear upfront what I can and cannot support. I can support this ROM, which is build-a-rom and its nine apps. So, for example, if you have a question about how to make a phone call, ask. The building part is really up to you. Browse XDA. The amount of information is astounding... If you’re not sure what you’re doing, then don’t use build-a-rom. If I knew all the answers to all of your questions, I’d answer them. I don’t.

DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
Each carries risk.
reserved, thanks
edit: Turns out I did not need to do this reserved post thing. So now I know. Lol.
also reserved, thanks
First. Looks fun. I continued my modeling lol.
Just gonna say, this will make a great base for anyone wanting to (dare I say) build a ROM to release (always ask permission first). And with it only being 242 MB it leaves a little room to play.
@erikalin might wanna add a note in there that EL29 can't flash modems and to flash the JB modem after boot if not already on one.

Thanks. ^ Yeah, I intentionally started the OP with, "If you have never been on a TW JB deodexed stock ROM, then this is not for you," to cover that sort of thing. It would make a good base. There's a ton of room. I just listed my E4GT on swappa, so this is all from me... Rooting my new-to-me S3 as we type.

The S3 is nice. But sad to see a valuable member moving on.

Yeah I'm gonna try using it to see how close I can get to fully porting Xperia Z stock to TouchWiz.

Not promising anything, but I'm thinking of ditching 3Minit and go with a full on Xposed XPERIAnce (pun intended). Takes up a lot less space and has some different features (like using AOSP Themes on TouchWiz)

Hey shipmate. Congrads on launching your ROM. Proud of you. Once I am done Xperiancing Bil's ROM. I will start to build mine. Inverted and transparent apps should work right? Like the wallpaper. Thanks for letting me help and for all the info you have blessed me.with.:thumbup::beer:

Hi, bigmike6200,
What is it about transparent apps that attracts? All of team blackout stuff works on JD's ROM, so I'd imagine they'd work on this gem. Their paid app is worth the two bucks.
Beyon a few nuggets from the GS2 international version, I've tried to find what I can, and most seems attached to Omega and similar ROMS. Once taken out, they don't work in isolation. Even the older items created by current team blackout members are gone. I managed to get Speed Test and a few others, but now the links are dead. Would love stock SMS, calculator, etc.
Time for me to learn this process.
Congrats, Erika, and thanks for this and all you've done.

Of course - inverted/transparent apps are good. Install according to however the person who modded it says for each one one.

I'm not bigmike, but I have to say that I love transparent everything. I made almost 40 build-a-rom projects for myself, starting from essentially the version 1.0 I have shared here each time, and trying different things out. In some of them I made everything transparent, although I did learn that semi transparent is often what is necessary. Making the backs of the stock toggles themselves transparent too was fun. There's something pleasing about the transparency and, for me, neon green #ff00ff00. I colored all the stock system app icons with my neon green too, etc. :good: Anyway, micmars, you will learn and invert the stock system apps to share. Cheers, bud!
Thanks!

You, also, Erika! Thanks for the encouragement. I think I found a lot of slimeball themed apps in one of the members of TBO's threads. Have to agree on the semi transparent observation. The Speed Test app to which I referred looks way better in the semi transparent variant.
Cheers,
Mike
Nice rom. Can't attach pic via metropcs mms jbfk23 fix.

Sorry, bud, but I'm not sure whether you meant to ask a question or just make this statement? If you meant to ask a question, feel free to reply back. To take a guess at it: build-a-rom comes with nine apps, and gallery isn't one of them. You'd need that. Or if this is a metro pcs thing, I don't know anything about Metro PCS. Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912451
Edit:
Can someone check this out?
If somebody can check this out for me. because I already wiped and packed up my E4GT:
Is the Sprint hotspot app in here crawrj's hacked hotspot or Sprint stock? I *had asked and received* permission to include crawrj's hacked hotspot but I had decided that I didn't want to include it in this base after all. But... did I forget to take it back out before uploaded? Lol... If someone can let me know that'd be great. I'll modify the OP pending a confirmation on this... Thanks X 3.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I noticed the rom don't come with message so I try to use Epic4gtouch-jbfk23-metropcs-mms-fix-signed but it didn't give me the option to attach a pic. Any help will be appreciated. Newbie here.

You might want to just go with another rom. That's not meant to sound unwelcoming, lol, not at all. But it's intentional that this ROM is empty. It's for folks who want to build it from a blank slate. Like I said I don't know how metropcs works so I have no idea what works for you. But stuff isn't in here for a reason. That's why I put in the OP that if you're new to JB TW this probably isn't the rom for you... This isn't a slim rom. It's an incomplete rom. You know?
