Anyone interested or already working on porting the JV1 theme to JS8 or any 2.2.1?
I know you might think "Why not just flash JV1?", well for 1, there are still gingerbread issues with some apps i'm using. And we can admit that performance wise of JV1 is inferior to any of Darky's or Doc's.
I already started trying to play around framework-res.apk but I keep on ending up with bootloop. If you can share me tips on how you do your themes, i could probably resume on doing this.

I've been hoping someone would bring it over for a while now. The pulldown menu alone is far superior to the 2.2.1 version.
i've been PMing themers for tips and advices. hopefully they'll be helpful

i found 2 themes that I would love to put on my phone but they are for 4.0.4. Is there directions on how to port them as I did find a 4.1.9999 theme template but really have no idea wtf im doing with themes. Should I downgrade to 4.0.4 instead, or would I really be missing on key features. I mostly just call, txt, and web, maybe use google maps if im stuck somewhere. Is it as simple as wiping and writing the 4.0.4 over the 4.1.9999 and any clue where to find 4.0.4, found the one link in the development forum in offfical thread but its dead. Thanks for all help and opinions.
these two are pretty badass...

I think that if you want themes you have really only 2 options.
Learn how to make themes for yourself because it's really not that hard. Just time consuming.
Go to a stable build (like 4.0.4) and use the theme of your liking.
The main reason why there aren't a whole lot of themes out there for the experimental themes is because they are EXPERIEMENTAL. Experimental = possibly unstable. Adding themes to even a stable build can mess it up. Also, if you are using an experimental build and have problems while your using a theme it is likely that Cyanogen wouldn't easily offer you support because it's likely related to the theme. Besides until you either make a theme from scratch or port over your favorite theme you have no idea how much time it can take. And nothing is more aggravating than to successfully port over (or make) a theme just to find out that another ROM update has been released.
can i just go into recovery mode and put 4.0.4 over 4.1.9999 and should I do a wipe? or will I have to do more than that. Thanks

Yeah it's best to wipe. Normally you don't have to with Cyanogen's builds, but as 4.1.9999 is 1.6 AKA Donut and 4.04 is 1.5 AKA Cupcake then it's a very good idea.
After wiping just flash 4.04. You shouldn't need to wipe your ext partition.
know where i can find 4.0.4?

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.
Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.
Hi,
Seeing as though development and support for this ROM has now ceased, does anyone know if there would be room for Themes to be done on it in the absence of the Dev ?
Failing that, has anyone managed to get any themes from other ROM's to work on this ROM ? I'd love a gingerbread theme for the ROM, but am not good enough to try myself.
Griff.
Stoney has released a cool theme. I imagine more will be released.

Yeah, it is, and it's not so complicated to do. But I don't think anyone will do it as it is nothing revolutionary and if you want it so badly why don't flash JV1?
I'm interested if there's a movement for this one too sure we can just flash JV1 but JV1 vs JS8 is worlds apart in terms of performance i'm sure you'll agree
i was thinking of creating one but need to study how. perhaps somebody has already started doing it.

You should look to get a different base since this is not so common. Also is this the xperia look you are trying to get? There are a few roms in the rom section that has a fully themed xperia look. Check it out.

There are none that i know of. The only thing is to individually look for some of the settings. Like there is 1 for lockscreen and the apps but that's all i know of and i have been on here for a while. While i am a fan of the xperia themes they are not all the great in terms of performance with the phone. The stock or AOSP stuff are usually the best you will get. Some of the xperia mods have been known to cause FC closure on some apps.
The latest firmware also is still not supported properly for mods. As you can see in the rom dev section they are all using older bases. The new rom only came out a few days now soo development for it won't be here yet. I suggest you try back the Chaos HD but ask for detailed instuructions for it.
I am using ultimarom by the way. Very awesome and you should give it a try.
