I have veered away from the Tool theme, and made this just a straight Red and Black theme. The clock is the only thing left of the Tool aspect.
As always, this could possibly brick your phone, so it's not responsibility if you do, etc.
This has been updated to work with JFv1.41 and includes the multi-touch browser.
RC30 only. If someone wants to port it to RC8 and/or ADP1, go for it.

Version 2: Updated for JFv1.41, and camera issue fixed.
Pics:
1. Main screen. Shows the clock, and pull tab.
2. Icons and highlighted pull tab.
3. Landscape, Google search, folder icon, and highlighted icon.
4. Music player colors.
5. Trash tab.
6. Curtain transparency and bottom.
7. The wallpaper I am using, in case someone wants it.
8. Another wallpaper that fits very well with this theme.
Questions, comments, bugs? Let me know.
I think the front cover image on the "Opiate" cd would make a pretty cool wallpaper.
cant wait! one of my favorite bands aswell. im still waiting for a metallica theme
looks good
Finally a nice red and black theme i cant wait for it
Love the TOOL idea, one of the greatest bands ever
Now this is a theme I can use.
New clock is okay but the one in the first pic is my favorite.
Keep it up!

Bump for release. 1-25-09 2:06AM Central time
And sorry wergeld, but I liked my new clock better. Much simpler, and easier on the eyes. Especially for someone who isn't a fan of Tool artwork.
Ha, no worries on the clock. I am going to get this!
Another idea to try: using the "Eye" as the menu tab.
Great job all around. 2 of my 2 thumbs up!

Is there a method posted for converting a theme from RC30 > ADP1
Please post a screenshot of your theme. ty

Sorry, but as the first post says, I have veered away from Tool, and made this just a Red/Black theme. A Tool theme in my mind, and will be made, just not quite yet.
Also, updated for JFv1.41 as of 1-25-09 11:30PM Central Time

Screens have been up the whole time. ...?
Awww, I was loving the **** out of the application tab you had for the lateralus eye, any change of adding that to a quick modded version? Was my favorite part
I dig the new clock, but I am with tehseano about the menu slider. Even the aenima tv flame would be cool.
Great job and I know a lot of peeps are looking foward to a tool theme.
This is now my theme.

I liked the pull tab as well, but as I said in the main post, I wanted to make a universal Red/Black theme. Also as I said, a completely Tool-centric theme is in the works. And I have a lot of homework to do tonight, but if I get the time, I'll make a quick change and replace the Lateralus pull tab and upload a version for that.

Thank you very much! And I'll still be awaiting that tool theme whenever you do finish it, keep up the great work!
For anyone that has downloaded this theme, please go download it again. I updated the file, because of a camera issue I just caught. This new one fixes it.
wont extract!!
Hey, ive been trying to get this theme, i can download it just fine, but when i try to extract the files it tells me it failed to extract ALL the apps and folders and says the path is invalid...all it ends up coming up with is the apps.file, framework.file, and the META-INF folder. Everything elses gets thrown out. Im running Windows Vista 32-bit and using win-rar to extract...i dont get it! ive downloaded several other themes and they all came out just fine...help!
It's just the way it's packed. If you extract the .apks directly, it works. But may I ask why you are extracting them anyway? If you want to flash it to your phone, you don't need to extract it. If you are going to modify my files, use the above method, but give me some credit if you use it in another theme
this is a work in progress, trying to find and make some different icons...
sephiroth is the boot image and cloud is the loader
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oolyt1tzjhj/finalfantasy7.zip
Hehe very nice. Are the dialer buttons supposed to be materia?
If you can customize the "force close" message, have it say "Sephiroth has to kill Aerith."
this is on my phone cant wait for icons
Sorry if I'm being spamy. I would like to make few sujestions. I would like to the line on the wall papers gone... idk it just bugs me and also the batteery icon should be the color og green material it blends in a bit to much. Oh maybe put a hint of red from the summoning material. But even if u don't make these changes I still love ur theme
i will make a few changes, no problem
ff10
make a final fantacy 10 model lol that will be even better lol
Please insert in your title what rom version this theme is for!??!
It doesn't work on JFv1.42, freeze on T-Mobile G1 Screen, that's my experience.
It works on jf. Rc33 lite. I'm runing it right now promise. Also if the dev reads reds this battery color is slighty off center.
it works on lite or regualar, if u removed the stock tones and notifications....i know the color is slightly off, only my second theme, so i am slowing down now and taking my time making them, i was over excited finally being able to make them....
I was just given u a feed little back. If this is only your second theme than I can't wait for your third. U are very good at this. This is an art and one in my opion you are very good at. Sorry if it came off like I was putting down your work. Take all the time you need to make this theme even better than it allready is.
no apologies i didnt take ur comment like that, thanks for thecompliment, i am working on a hulk theme, i actually have it done but i have to replace some things, i liked gloss suites apps bar, so i used it, but i am going to make a different one and , see what people think...
i wish you would come with some icons for this theme... but oh well its still cool
icons are coming, got wrapped up in making other ones...i will update in a few days....
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.
Hey is there a way to have the solid black bar on top like on PPC based phones?
Ive searched and i cant find an answer to this..
BTW Im running the latest 3vo Rom id that helps?
Thanks
You could take a picture and add the black bar too it. Perhaps if you want to send me your wallpaper I could do that for you
Thanks for your reply i was thinking of doing that, i was just curious if the actual black bar from the ppc was able to be used on the dash.
Dont wanna make versions of every wall paper lol... Thanks tho
im not sure if its an actual option, but the bar should be 320x26 pixels and if you want some done quickly just post em here and i'll send them back to you in the next few minutes (repeat action on paint.net makes mass changing very easy) post them as a zip file
Thanks its cool i figuered it out and made my self a template on Paint.net to make more in the future! had to add a lil bit more to the pic tho. looks great to me!
I used this Cab with the my template for the wall papers now i have a perfect black bar at all times!
Just in case anyone wanted to get rid of all signs of AT&T, you can change the shut down animation to any series of PNG's you want pretty easily. The shut down PNG's are in RES_cappuccino.apk here:
/system/framework/RES_cappuccino.apk
If you want to change the shut down animation, you can change the 25 PNG's (you can use my PNG-swapping tutorial thread if you don't know how =) ) found here:
RES_cappuccino.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/power_off_001.png to power_off_025.png
Just swap out the 25 PNG's with whatever you want.
Oh, and the boot animation is
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
but I figure everyone sorta knew that already =)
They really don't care about free space, don't they?
Thanks for the info.
Haha, I know, right?
dang, wow.. hmm, you know what's [email protected] and i were chatting in another thread about experiencing any delays or lags anywhere with this phone and the title of this/your thread reminded me that there is indeed a stutter on the shutdown animation with my phone. the boot up animation is super smooth though and i was thinking i would not mind keeping the boot up but just deleting the shutdown one, but i had figured they were the same sequence.
it's super they are not!
is it possible to shrink all this shut down nonsense to as little as possible?
gave ya a thanks!
The best option, in my opinion, is to just swap the png's with solid black ones. I wouldn't suggest just deleting them, cause the xml's will still reference the missing png's and it might cause trouble (might not, too, but without recovery, I'd err on the side of safer =) )
So for the bootup animation, can we just use any animations out there, like the ones i use for the atrix, or it still needs to be specific? Just trying to be safe lol.
For the heck of it I've tried animation from UOT kitchen, it worked just fine, but because images are for smaller resolution they displayed with large black border around them, other words not in full screen.
For the boot animation, you can use whatever you want, yeah. I copied my old one from my x10 (edited some of the PNG's just for fun =) ), and it works just fine. If the resolution of the boot animation is lower than the nitro's screen, it'll just show the animation centered with a black background.
If you want to use the Atrix ones, I'm sure you can just stretch each of the png's in the zip to 1280x720, and they'll play just fine without a black border
