So far the Darkedge Theme is the best dark/black theme...if some "good themers" could port it to our Galaxy S2...that would be just fantastic...i think we would not need other black themes ! Darkedge in my opinion is the best we could find in the android world, notice that the system is inverted, all writing is white on black background in all apps, notice also that all details have been "retouched", that why it looks like the perfect theme! this is for sure a hard work..but if "some" themers could work on it, it is for sure worth it ! by the way we would need also the authorization for the original maker, i could ask him to start !
more pics from Darkedge theme
Looks good, any developer going to port it??
really cool ..... I like it!
i have been in contact with the dev about the theme which is originally made for the droid, he told me that the theme will be re-arranged for android 2.3...the problem is that i dont know if it will compatible with our sg2...and another fact, is that he said it will be this year...but when exactly ?? so , a port now would be nice...
Afaik, Darkedge is a Droid exclusive. Dont think ive ever seen a full port to another device :/

what are you talking about ? it has already been ported to CM5 and htc Desire and Hero...and many others...
Oh this would definitely be my full time theme for the foreseeable future, if it ever gets ported XD
Damn that's a cool theme... Must be easy on the battery too, with the amoled screen...
I wish I had the skills to port it myself..

My bad Id seen someone try and port it to the Desire but gave up. Didnt realise there was a full port.

I ported parts of this to another device but the problem is that the theme has some heavy XML modifications which is not easy to do unless you got some mad skills.
Just port some graphics over shouldnt present much of a problem but you wont get the full 100% experience then
I'm aware that the XML are the most difficult part of it...we need help of a Dev maybe and not a themer ...porting a this theme is definitely worth it.
I can port it over but id need a dev on board to do the xml files..
It can be done though

Thanks for your support ..so let us find a dev for the XML part
Awesome theme, I'd love to see this on the GS2!
THAT would be great on the SGS II
Elegantm minimalistic and even more beautiful than the black theme I have on my HD2.
Hope it can be ported, that is my absolute favourite .........................
I too would love this and am willing to help test

Finally, if all this wasn’t enough for the Android community, Xeudoxus has been working overtime to port the DarkEdge theme to Koush’s CyanogenMod. DarkEdge for CM will also being made available publicly for the first time today. Do note, however, that CM’s version is still in an alpha stage, and not everything may look perfect, or work as smoothly as the ESE-81 version of DarkEdge.

Citation from Droid Forum ................
Seems if we get CM we also get Darkedge ...................
I'm waiting for the download version...
the CM they are talking about is CM5 i think...which has been already done a year ago, it is still a project for CM7...but if this theme come out, it will be sure ported at least to CM7.

Hey hey, everybody! I've been running emotionless beast for a while since 1.5. I love it to death, don't get me wrong, but on an all jet black phone, IMO Nothing beats a darkstar port. So I figured wtf? Let's port one over. Problem there is I've been working 12's lately, and only get a little bit of computer time, if any during a day. Weekends, same thing . So I need to throw a request out there to any individual(s) that also would like to see this happen to help me out.
I did some custom themes on my cliq, but those were all through metamorph. So if someones willing to take the plunge and start on this project, I am more than willing to help them out on a few sections. My photoshop is ready and willing. Just need a hand and someone that can give me a stock-deodexed template to work off of. I figured if we end up doing this we should just make it for Froyo, since that is (hopefully) in the near future. It'd be kinda silly to work hard on a 2.1 theme just for it to phase out next month entirely.
Anyways... any volunteers? Concerns? Would you like to see this too? let me know.
Im working on porting my beast to froyo with the power options and everything. I got my framework-res.apk all done. I just need to modify the 3jar files. After I finish the port I was thinking of making a black and chrome theme with blue highlights. I already got my name picked out "Dark Beast". I'll gladly look into this port and add my own twist.

Yeah that is just one variety of it, there have been many versions of darkstar released. That'd be awesome, mystery if you did decide to make a "Dark Beast" I'd be glad to be a part of it/help you out with it you decide you like Darkstar and want to make a hybrid/mod type thing go down.
The things I like about darkstar is : A. The rounded screen corners give the screen/phone a very blended/smooth look to a solid black phone. B. I also just think that Jet black/green look extremely sexy complementing one another. C. It just looks overall clean and nice.
The only thing I don't like about it is most of the notif. bar icons. All white and completely boring is not my thing. I'd like to do something with them, which would be no problem.
Anyone else have an opinion either way on this?

hi
i had galaxy s and now on dell streak and its a nice phone but lacks comunity and lacks roms and themes. infact there is no themes on there, can any theme hobbiest whip up a theme for the streak. i duno like port a theme of your own to the dell streak? it would def open up a door for extra donations cause there is nothing else on there to compete
i mean its only the framework which needs theming, most stock apps on dell streak seem to be third party. i mean for a price. if someone is interested give me a price and if its reasonable i will pay it for the themes here to be ported on the dell streak

na its on 2.2.2
sad thing is there is only one dev for the phone who makes roms. who is also working on cm6, cm7 and 3.0 port, all on his own. it lacks community and devs. the phone has so much potential but just lacks the people behind it to push it forward
how hard would it be to port a theme. i mean is it a case of just copying over all the png png.9 and xml over to the dell streak framework and wolla lol

Unfortunately that all comes down to device popularity.
I dont know how to port ROMs but wouldnt it be cool if we could get something like this on the Hero: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103398&page=2
Its probably a bit heavy for the Hero but I'd settle for a stripped version ...
I'm sure this will be near impossible but I also thought having Sense 2.1 would be impossible. What do the more expert devs think?
Dude, it's awesome , but where is it from? Is it a launcher from somewhere or a rom? Is there any sources about this thing, but the video? It should be possible to port, but it would be an huge advantage if we had something to port it from

yes it is awesome! there are no official sources but if you look on the 2nd page someone has kindly got a dump of /system. I dont know if this is enough. its a full ROM not just a launcher. Where would you even start when porting something like this??

I can't port anything And then it has to be resized as the phone has qHD resoloution (like the Sensation and EVO 3D, so probably easier to port to those phones. And someone said it had framework depencies, so it's probably as hard to port as the Sense Launcher and widgets, but a bit harder, because you have to resize everything as well (I just guess it is not open source)...
i see this interface liter than sense UI... but not so lite as AOSP... I like to try it, it seems to be a more useful UI that Sense... Maybe the devs on the hero forum want to have a look

yes I guess its kinda like porting MIUI to the Hero. That hasnt been achieved so I dont have high hopes for this. But I thought I'd bring it to attention anyway just in case someone fancied a challenge
It is a fair challenge, framework is probably only compatible with armv7 processors and the different screen res issues would also need looked at, so not only would everything need resized, all the xml's would need to be edited correctly as well.
The libs will be different as well and I don't think it will be a simple job of just swapping over some of ours. It is basically as hard as porting MIUI, if not harder.
ok so i'll rephrase...
I thought I'd bring it to attention anyway just in case someone fancied a MEGA challenge
it's not about a challenge...but sometimes it's not worth it... It seems that salsa sense still has the bug with the speakerphone...and i think i know why...another problems is that it sometimes it kills SETCPU and damn i need that app...
I got 2 phones...a HTC hero and a Nokia E5...and was looking today @ engadget and see that a new WP7 smartphone is coming out and it look like my e5 on the edges...and i sometimes wonder...will we ever go back to buy a nokia smarthpone even if it runs WP7...?
A problem is that phones appear like mushrooms after the rain and i wonder why buy a phone when you can get for the same price a tablet that has a larger screen, it's powerful and much more...
I personally like the HTC SENSATION...but it costs more that a tablet
I know i'm off topic with 80% of the post but tell me you guys...is it worth the challenge of killing lots and lots of time of porting another ROM from another phone that a new generation?
beatifull launcher... porting this launcher is very hard work. supported only 1Ghz snapdragon devices.
Seems that yesterday some files was uploaded for our developers to give a try

Hello. I have noticed over the last 3 months that the theme section has been dropping off dramatically. I dare say it has a major thing to do with JKAY which is fantastic mind you however I am still sad and want someone to make me feel better.
Themers please come out with something other than ICS for the love of god. I am willing to start a bounty.
Theme Ideas:
My number 1 picks would go in order as follows
1. ELEGANT STEEL
2. BUUF
3. MATTED BLUES
4. MULTI COLOURED GINGERBREAD
5. A NEW BLACK THEME
I am no doubt going to get flamed for this but if only I get through to 1 person I am happy
I'm not saying this trying to be funny, but i think the easiest thing to do would be to learn how to do it yourself.
There are a lot of guides around I'm sure your aware of, it's not that difficult to string some images together, the hard part is editing smali for major theme changes.
I'm guessing the main reason it's been dropping around here is people are probably in the same boat as myself, not enough spare time to do anything, and any spare time you do have, there are more important things like family etc.
Hopefully when I get my new computer for xmas I can start doing some things again (if the missus let's me of course!!).
I agree with the ICS point, they seem to be everywhere ATM lol. I'm not a fan of stock looking themes so I'll probably try and expand the v2 of glowing glass contacts and maybe update phone candy to a final and retire it.
I am willing to learn how to make themes icons even splash themes. I know the ropes of illustrator and photoshop ect. But i need a helping hand to point me out where to start with what tutoruial. In return ill post my "work" for free. Please provide me with links so i can make the next person happy.
I would like to make themes for sgs2 for people who run cm7.1

Nobody has any right to flame u for saying your opinion mate but IMO themers are just waiting cuz ICS is coming quite quickly and I know someone of them is just working on leaked version just to prepare their magic.
Moreover I'm sure we'll see real beautiful things cuz everybody would like to create something better to beat Samsung UGLINESS
Personally I'm in love with ICS theme by Vertumus and I can't wait to see his beauty on real ICS firmware...but for any other themes u're asking for just be patient and wait a little and you'll see I'm f***ing right

Theming for cm7 is nothing like what you see here. You need to learn the T-Mobile theme engine to create themes for cm7.
The following is a good guide.

Hi,
I've done a lot of research but I haven't found it yet.
The Galaxy SII has a ROM with a theme that I simply love. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194765)
So now, would it be easy for a noob like me to port that theme to my Ace?
With that theme, i don't care which ROM i'd use.
Thanks
It's a nice theme. I will try
Even better! thanks man
its ported to galaxy3

Or if anyone can give me a link to a good port-tutorial (because I can't find anything), I'll learn it myself..
U have to make pictures at low rezolution (MDPI), right now they are for HDPI ... and of course some XML changes ...
W will try to make it MDPI !
If i can help with anything, i really want, but i dont know much about those things. And anyone who puts effort in this, i'll press thank you 100 times!
I don't want to be annoying, but i'd just want to know if there is anyone who's doing anything for this just to know how high i can put my expectations in ever having this
