Dark Hero 4.0.4 09/03 Stericson's New Updates To the Lockscreen Also Changed Some Things In It Graphic Wise DO NOT WIPE BEFORE OR AFTER FLASHING AND IF YOU HAVE AN ANALOG CLOCK ON YOUR HOMESCREEN REMOVE FROM HOMESCREEN BEFORE FLASHING

good job on this... but just as a heads up, you should probably add a screen shot of the clock it does come with or mention in the op that the "hero" style clock seen can be downloaded from the market. a lot of people are going to wonder why its not in the theme by default...

There you go clock and music widget it was already in the theme i just didnt think to take a screenshot of it

cool beans... itll saves you the headache of people asking, where can i get that clock widget? and trust me it will come in a flurry like on other threads... have you notice any loss in functionality with this theme on this rom? im going to flash it anyways but i wanted to know if you noticed any yet....

Very cool about to download and check it out. Are the button highlights green or orange? (I guess I'll find out, but other's might want to know.)

no i rebuilt it specifically for this rom because its the one i use

button highlights are actually grey and dark grey

Do you know what is the name of "hero" style clock on the market?

You really shouldn't be putting that "extra" file in there, as it is a paid app. That is against policy to do this.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

it looks good so far and depending on what you want help with as far as .xml's go i might be able to give you a hand, but i can provide assistance in signing .9.png's.
welcome to the exciting world of theme-ing i think one of the best places you can start with theme-ing is to modify someone elses work with their permission of course, then once you get comfortable there branch out into your own work. this is a great first theme keep it coming
also don't worry too much about a name, i mean come on, look in my sig at what my current theme is lol

oh, it's a fresh theme.
good job!

I am liking what I am seeing. Great work so far.

Yea dude, I dig this theme. I just installed it.

thanks for offering the help! i'm sure i'll end up sending some .9 questions your way.
i have a new found respect for themers... the amount of time and tedious effort that goes into themes is something else!

You asked for a name, how about Neon or something like that?

looks nice
it looks like an awesome theme i would just have liked to see the icons/ app drawer. are you gonna mess around with those?

i plan to make more changes to the app drawer, haven't decided if i want to change app icons yet. i'll post a poll and if people want app icons, i'll give em.

yeah you should make custom app icons
i think you should its the reason i love themes so much...the variety of the apps.

More Neon! I love it

There are two green themed keyboards in the keyboard thread you could use

I love the look just for some reason not to much the launcher. I'm not hating because i love the green/black feel as some of those who went on my forum when it first started but great job!!!

thanks! thats the type of input i'm looking for

Personally, i do not prefer app icons because third party apps mess up the look of it. The easiest thing to do to please but people that want them and people than don't, would be to make a seperate update.zip that just contained the apps with the changed icons. Stericson has a blank update.zip you can grab from somewhere (sorry can't remember link) that you can grab and just drop the modified .apk's into.

i feel the same way about icons. looks like people are wanting app icons, so thanks for that advice. i'll find that link.

please make in 4.1.1 this theme is so badass!

Custom Icons...
Although they look pretty sweet...unless all you have on your phone is stock apps, it doesn't look so good having custom icons mixed with non-custom. To top it off, having half your icons neon green, and half not, it would take away from the over-all essence of the theme. Just my opinion.

heres the link to the page with the empty update zip. its on the bottom of the first post.

[q] miui lovers step in!!!

So , i was thinking changing from sense to miui.... but havent made my mind yet
could someone who has a little experience on miui roms convince me to switch?
All i ask for is some arguments on miui>sense
please sense/aosp lovers and miui haters dont post here
thanks in advance!

well it seems you already want to switch and dont need much convincing...
seeing as how you will only get biased responses when you ask for only people who love miui to reply. you will only get replies telling you to switch.
only way you can tell is to try it.
but, since you asked for it:
"OMGZ TRY MIUI IZ THE BEST!!!1!11"

The one reason I don't use MIUI at the monent:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice the wrong coloured text for the title/Google T&Cs (white on white)? It stops me using it, as silly as that sounds

As ringer13 said, if you're asking MIUI lovers you will just going to hear the good sides of MIUI. I think it's your decision, some like it some not... You have to try it by yourself. Make a nandroid backup if you don't like it so it isn't a lot of work...
Anyway I've wrote a list of advantages and disadvantages. But it's just my opinion.
Advantages:
Layout (Can also be an disadvantage depends if you're liking the iOS like layout)
Theme Manager (very easy to customize the layout with lot of possibilities)
Fast
Nice Backup Features
File Manager
Music Player (with automatic lyrics)
Notification bar (Quick Settings)
Weekly updates
Disadvantages:
Official release just in Chinese, you have to wait some day until the rom is translated...
Translation errors
FM-Radio isn't working
No 720p recording
As EddyOS said the color errors
I think it's more buggy then Sense
I hope it helped you.

For me I wanted something battery efficient and aosp does that for me. Sense is just a battery killer really. I also really like the apps that come with and how many settings come with the rom. There are minor issues like Eddy said but I couldn't care because they get out weighed. Tbh if you want to see what a rom is like you should be trying it, not asking people if you should use it or not. It's taken me months and months of flashing and now I'm finally settled on miui androids rom.
Swyped...

MIUI convert here. I highly recommend MIUI Au for the best MIUI english experience. The guys do amazing work with the rom and are providing weekly updates and patch fixes to problems as they are found.
In last release *everything* was working, except wifi but that is fixed by flashing an alternative kernel available from the site. Just do a nandroid backup and flash away, if you dont like it, roll back!

To echo what's been said already - backup, flash and try it out.
I flashed the latest version last weekend and kept it for a couple of days. It was a bit of a shock going from an AOSP ROM, almost like learning to use a new OS again.
Not having an app drawer befuddled me - I was poking at the screen waiting for a full apps list to appear
As a ROM it is very polished, looks terrific and has plenty of customisation options. I liked the folder options for home screen. Battery was pretty good too. I can understand why it has so many passionate converts.
I ended up going back to Oxygen though for one reason only - laggy menus. They were driving me nuts, especially as I was setting everything up from new.
I'll keep an eye on the translated versions on the XDA dev page and may try it again though.

I tried it for a very brief time
Way to iPhone for my liking ! .....

My thoughts exactly! I love eye candy and MIUI has such a nice design and concept (my opinion), but it was too laggy for me.

miui is really excellent and a good battery saver rom. in standby it stays more then 2 days for me. with sense i always had to charge it after 1 day.

I use MIUI-XJ X-part.. and i feel it is the best Rom... it isnt laggy a bit.. may be your installation is not perfect.. for me its damn fast... superb battery life..and so much of free space.. and ram.. for those who dont like.. IOS type interface.. you can always use launcher pro.. or go launche ex.. .i have used it too.. and I did not found any laggyness...
Some missing things are FM Radio.. and 720p recording.. which I am not a fan of.
And we might get 720p recording soon.. I miss FM sometime though..
I dont hate any ROM.. always apprecaite work behind it.. but I love MIUI

HTC Sense

Ok. So i've searched and searched but can't find it. Is there a way to get htc sense off of an android phone and install it on the xdandroid build?

You can't because Sense is so interwoven into the phone that it would be a huge chore to even get it out and even if you did get it out, it would seriously be buggy as hell.
Sent from my Infused V2 powered smartass phone yo

ah figured as much. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try extracting it from my htc evo. if i get it working properly i'll release it here.

Technicall you can as it has been done in the past but the skin slows the phone down quite a lot.

dont bother. I had the froyo version of sense running and it is so slow you will want to shoot yourself. The only way it became usable is if you completely remove everything from each window.
Also sense is so massive it never fit on nand. We had to break it up into pieces where the core was installed on nand and apps had to be on the sdcard.
I used the version that came with the Evo, but i think the desire is probably a better candidate. Best of luck, maybe i was too impatient but some peeps like Wozzer mentioned that you can compress the hell out of the images to help with the bulk. Never went that far.

Hmmm I'll give up on it for now. After playing with the evo...I hate sense. Its ugly. Looks like winmo but without the crappyness factor. I'll stick to adw for now
Sent from my MSM using XDA App

yeah. The sense that came with the evo originally was hideous. And i was shocked to see the winmo version actually being smoother when it came to the weather animation. I know the newer sense builds are nicer but they are just so big. You are looking at 250mb system partition at least for those bad boys.

If you are looking for some nice Sense like animation there are a couple of threads here you can use which will give you that.
arrrghhh posted the Live Wallpapers thread
Enabling this will certainly slow your phone down so you need to go to another thread which arrrghhh put together on Speed Improvements.
I am currently running the following speed improvements and I have some nice fairly smooth animation... Performance of the phone is much better too...
Topic 3 - SD-Booster (cache set to 8192 on 8GB SD)
Topic 4 - Overclocking (650Mhz)
Topic 5 - Turbo Charger (Aggressive 1)
Topic 6 - Manage Apps on Boot (Just the pm disable arrrghhh shows)

i already have speed improvements using arrrghhhs methods. im not looking for live walpapers i was lookin for a nice sense for the xdandroid build lol
to acl- i agree. my evo isnt activated anymore (dont ask why) but i did notice stock sense was smoother. now i run max sense which is a little buggy but still better. xdandroid is awesome i think i will just stick to that. thanks

for those that want this build with sense and still want the tweaks and speed of it i recommend lp sense. its basically launcher pro with a built in sense theme. its very light weight and very useful.

I understand that the whole UI of lollipop is minimal for more than one reason. I personally find it boring and bland.
I really enjoyed my skinned UI setup in CM11 and 10 running Apollo, Blue Mint, Frosty and Alloy Blue & Red, Etc...
I have installed loads of CM12 themes and they are all lacking and just don't measure up in my opinion.
I don't suppose you would port some of your previous generation themes to 12.1?
Big respect, L8r...

I really want to, but not atm.
Maybe in the future because i don't use CM anymore and don't know what are the changes between CM10 to CM12.1.
Btw, i find lollipop UI is boring too lol.

Experience is worth more than the paper its written on....
Yo vicino, in your opinion; what is the best droid flavour and ROM to use that has the most skinnable friendly interface? I am going to trash my CM12.1 Android5.1.1 installation(Dissapointing) and since there are so many out there I feel a bit intimidated by my lack of experience in the matter. I have a Galaxy S4 i9500 and I would like to try my hand at some custom skin and theme design for my own phone..... Another question.. I have tried out most of the start screen loaders/widgets(Themer, UCCW, Zooper, KLWP, Buzzz) and I have noticed that there is very little to no animation in all of the solutions I have tried so far. Is that because the widget/home screen environment does not support state based animation? I refer to states of object control, eg. onDrag event, etc...
I ask because one could have a themed UI packed with effect animations that would make a theme really pop and yet still conserve battery life if said animations only triggered during control object interaction and then stopped after one pass. (Hope I am making sense)
Excuse my ignorance, my experience in design and programming is limited to Web and Windows only. But I am never to old to learn
I would like to design a pseudo grunge / hi-tech theme based on this template that I created for my HTML5/Flash website media player & content management system.

Theme going to be released tomorrow, thanks you all
