CM7's Theme chooser

I could mock something up if you give me a list of the elements that need skinning. I've been customizing Windows for almost 10 years and I definitely have some ideas.

Pretty much everything I guess. Status bar, battery, keyboard,lockscreen, etc. I was thinking about making an 8-bit like theme. Sounds pretty cool in my head

8-bit FTW. They have a Mario one. But I'd just like an 8-bit one, doesn't have to be mario. Like, 8-bit android icons and stuff.

Well dragons like jewels and treasure. Maybe some sort of jewel battery icon. Dunno, I'm not much of an artisit.

I'd rather go for something more universally appealing but different than what's out there atm...take a loom a some of my windows screenshots and see if anything looks doable: nitzua19.deviantart.com

thanks for the replies
i looked for help from the popular artist, thaPHLASH.
i requested some 8-bit icons for the theme and he said yeah

Where can I get this theme?

I was watching this Youtube video, and saw this theme this guy had. It's really slick and I want it. Anybody know what it is?

Pretty sure that's Tiff84's 'nothing but the honey' theme. It DOES look great, but it reminds me too much of....well... Honeycomb.
["hip", "hip"]
Its not themed. The lockscreen is widget locker,or magic locker or something, the UI is stock, he is using beautiful widgets.
EDIT: If your talking about that circular widget thing, he says its "ultimate favorites"

New Launcher

Was browsing and I came across this cool new launcher, still playing with it but it's worth checking out.
Hi Launcher (market)

Looks kinda cool, but a little cartoonish.
I was looking at the market pictures and it looked cartoonish, I installed anyways just to see why it got good reviews. I guess the cartoon look is an icon pack, because when I installed it doesn't look cartoonish at all. It actually looks really sharp.
I like that it's different with 2 dock bars, 3 row docks at the bottom like other launchers and another in the middle. You can hide the middle bar by swiping down on it. Still messing with it, but it might actually replace my Go Launcher...
Adw ex FTW
I just discovered (a new one to me) ss launcher. It is completely different than any other launcher I've used. Its definitely worth checking out if you are into trying new looks. Its pretty cool to have such a great selection of launchers these days other than the "big 3"- ADW, LP, and go which are all awesome but essentially work and look very similar. Thanks OP for suggesting this one. I will check it out.

I just want a freaking launcher to look clean, sharp, and have the ICS screen switch transitions. You know the one that makes it look like the next screen comes from underneath. Give me that and it is perfect.

cool concept. i dont like having multiple swipeable (word?) areas. its pretty much a pretty ui for folders on my main screen. not a terrible idea, would be my second choice to the tops (Go, ADW, LPP) over stuff like metro ui or ssLauncher

good wallpaper for ics

im looking for a wallpaper that goes great with the whole black and blue look of ics. ive done some searching in google images but cant really find one. Mind sharing one of your personal favs?
I like the ICS one with circles and the wavy blue ICS one. They're pretty damn nice.

I personally don't like the wallpaper, but that's just me. I have to say, the battery on 3-31 is absolutely incredible. In the 25 min screen on since I flashed it, playing graphics heavy games, I lost 8% battery. Amazing. And this is my current look.

Just something I like is to change the width margin for the dock to large. It just looks cleaner to me. You can see it in the screenshot.

im using AOKP build 28 buuuut im wondering what rom Amphibliam's using to change the margin like that o,0
AOKP is pretty fubar at this point. It'll be on my Nexus on day 1, but for this phone, no. I use aero's CM9 builds. Only bugs are some random issues with games, but all mine work on either my phone or Flyer so I'm good, as well as no flash w/ stock camera, and no rear video recording. Everything else works. I use Apex Launcher to do stuff like change the margins. I used to use the paid Nova, which I like better, but my widgets disappeared every few hours. 0_____o
Looks really good.

You can find decent ones with the Zedge app and if you apply via the app it doesn't force you to crop it.

Apologies if I'm breaking any rules but....

1st off I wanna say no disrespect to the devs...I appreciate all the hard work that goes into all the awesome roms...seems that with all the talk of jellybean and without an official ics release that THEMING has taking a back seat..although i am enjoying team rejects change of pace (annihilation is awesome!) And I love the look of miui but I can't get it to work good enough for me to use as my daily,with that being said I kinda long for the days of a DUSK theme or an all white with black letter theme like the GTX rom I had on my TP2 I think these would look sweet on my et4g...anyone willing to work on anything similar to these?

Yeah..I thought about that after I posted this......just looking for a change of pace...liking the capabilities of what jellybean brings to the table but not the look..and I can see xda getting as flooded with variations of jb as it is with Ics...thanks for the reply though!
I remember those themes. That really takes me back. But it would be awesome to see the dusk theme on this badboy

I'm telling you guys, you can do it yourself, all you need is a good CM9 or CM7 base rom, find a theme you like for the theme Chooser in that rom, use a themeable launcher, Apex, ADW EX, or SSLauncher, this thread a **** ton of icon sets http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19600116
I use the free app ChargeBar (in play store) for a centered bottom status bar battery bar, I use Rom Toolbox to change system font, I use Android Pro Widgets for Twitter, Messaging, Bookmark, and Calendar Widgets...these have different themes and colors available for the Widgets....Here is a link to some of what I did with SsLauncher...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25394812

Not really any more than having Sense or something like that on your phone, its more of a kernel thing and we have some great evo specific kernel devs over here, you just have to find a pure AOSP rom without all the Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur overlays, then just add your own Widgets icons launcher dialer keyboard font over that and create your personalized interface the way you want it....
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
was gonna post this elsewhere, but here's as good as a place as any i suppose. for those that want to mess around with theming here's a great place to start. it's a vrtheme template for our phone. It should work with most roms. here's a link with some quick info and the download link with our updated binary. all thanks to the villianrom team for a great template/idea
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/about-villaintheme-system.4971/
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddi2vc7qeg2y44x
basically instead of having to decompile and recompile apk's and have a complete and working apk to flash, this only requires that you place the images, xml's etc in the correct folder structure. everything is in the vrtheme folder in the zip. so to theme a system app, say systemui, you would create a folder called SystemUI.apk in the correct folder structure, namely vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk. then all you have to do is drag and drop the images you want swapped into the proper folder locations. I included an example folder structure for images in drawable-hdpi for systemui and framework-res to get ya started. beauty of this is you can literally drag and drop whole sections of other themes into the template and it will just replace those images on our phone. So if those themes in the OP have same sized images and same names, you could just drag and drop those into the respective vrtheme zip folder and flash away. Make sense? just starting to get this going again on our phones, so mess around, but be careful, I'm obviously not responsible to anything you do
it can also be used to theme paid apps, which is sweet. since your not actually including the apk itself, and the app has to be in the location specified before you apply the theme.

Should I Port These Themes?

If you guys don't mind, have a look at the themes in my sig. I've been considering porting (or re-create, rather) them, since I got my MT4G but I didn't like the device enough to bother. My favorite has been the LBP theme since I had so much fun making the icons. I'll likely create an icon pack for Nova/Apex for the icons but I was considering something cool for the toogles and such too.
If there's any interest, I'll recreate these for the GS3.
Sure sounds good

Yep. I been using Android since way back then lol. I'd be creating all the images from scratch, of course. No sense trying to port such low-res junk to the GS3.
I did not see any of the themes in your sig but after doing some searching I found them and I have to say that the LBP one you did looked sweet man. I know I would be happy to see them. Thank you for the heads up. :good:

Sorry about that. I took them out of my signature about a week ago. I'm getting myself up to speed with the Theme Engine (as my old ones were flashable .ZIPs). In the mean time I'm working on icons. I'd like to release something for the various launchers (Go Launcher, Apex, Nova, etc) along with Theme Engine.
Thank you for the update. Will keep checking back!:thumbup:
