BUILD YOUR OWN THEME
Ok folks, here it is, a change to make your own theme. As cool as I think I am, I bet you guys have some pretty good ideas for themes so Im making this a cooking thread for your own person recipes.
These are the ingredients I need:
- Build type, RC30 and ADP1 are preferred but I can make RC8 as well
- Icon pack, you can find any group of icons to use in an size, this means application icons, status bar icons, just anything you want but you have to supply it
- Image for the status bar in portrait and landscape.
So ya, I am kinda figuring this out as I go so post what you want made into a theme and I will see what I can do.
You rock!! I gather a list for ya and post it soon.

This is a pretty cool idea, though I suspect you're gonna get absolutely flooded with requests
If you need files sizes or types let me know or ask and Im sure a bunch of people can answer.
You do know there are requests for themes here.
You can start with a few of those
gucci theme
i dont really have any real ingredients as you put it jus diff icons and use the gucci colors
Well I was hoping it would be more for the people who know exactly what they want and dont know how to put it together than just the people coming up with new ideas. So if you know you you want my carbon fiber status bar, with the silver status icons from Blue Star 5 and defaults icons with one of your own, I could take those things and make a theme out of them in like 30 minutes.
Just close this thread if you would rather me pick it up in the other thread.
What you stated is exactly what i had in mind. Ill pm with my "wishlist and icons" and we can go from there.

I really like your Karbon theme, id like the status bar just grey like deep black, your status icons , and this battery meter. is this possible?
http://www.filehosting.org/file/deta...parannoyed.rar
Not sure but i think i saw that icon set on deviant art. might want to take a look.
The status icons from Karbon are great, just the batt meter change.
here are a few icons id like included:
D3ath star=settings
Kerry King guitar=my music
internet=browser
email=email
not sure if you are changing the settings context (menu key menu) with pics
craniac=dialer
flame=messaging
book=contacts
I have an idea....this is gonna get carried away lol
Place all pics in a zip folder with a text file directing what should get done and upload a zip ONLY.

Im building it now, I assume you want RC30 right? And if you can get those icons as PNG files with transparent backgrounds it would be best, if not I can see what I can do.
And just to confirm, the status bar in a dark color will make it so you cant see the text, if thats fine its fine with me.
To respond to Mikey1022, would it also be ok to host them on a site like photobucket and link the pic in the post or would you prefer zip files?

I would just say use your own judgement. If someone will look at the theme and be instantly reminded of another one you pulled from you might want to give a lot of credit to it, but if it was just a platform to start with and its mostly your own creation I would just mention who the theme came from. Just think about it as if it was your theme being used by someone else. Personally its a huge compliment.
you are right perhaps the light grey status bar from macdroid would be better.
Yes RC30, sorry for the lack of info.
I am really contemplating dual booting fedora or mandriva, to better acquaint myself with this stuff.
Ya, I was going to do it with this one but it was way too dark until we can change font colors.
good call, i hope you guys will have access to changing font color soon.
Thanx for doin this, til i force myself to figure it out on my own.
Just for everyone's knowledge, these icons are not my creation. I have collected them over the last year or so from different icon packs mainly downloaded from deviantart. this is mainly a personal theme, that i find appealing for me to look at.
I found some nice BBerry Icons but they show up too small on the G1 normally and when I attempt to enlarge, I run into pixel issues.
Can anyone enlarge these icons to look normal on G1?
Blackberry extracted graphics
Nice graphics! I didn't know you could extract stuff from the Blackberry OS... interesting
Are you trying to make a theme out of this? Or changing an icon? It probably doesn't look right because of the image format... I'm not sure.
Maybe you should send this to a theme developer. The only problem is that some of these Blackberry images are too big for Android (like the signal strength, the menu icons, etc).
If I enlarge these images, they will look blurred. It would be great to get the original graphics in vector format so I can scale them perfectly.
It seems like the Blackberry UI graphics were made for readability and looks, especially since the BBs are getting popular.
It would be cool to see a perfectly crafted theme that changes every UI element of Android, but still looks elegant and balanced all around, like the Android 1.5 UI.
This is a pretty good set of images. I'll see what I can do.
P.S. Whoa! How did 2 of your G1s get bricked? Was it Haykuro's Dangerous SPL?
Sweet icons dude....someone shud totally make a blackberry theme

Yeah, the SPL got me (because of my own error though). I'm actually on my 5th, the last one wouldn't let me flash a 1.5 or higher ROM. Lol.
But when I replaced the icons, they were extremely small compared to the android icons. I used the icons from the old deep black theme from RC33 I believe and wanted to make all my icons BBerry ones.
It would be great to have a BBerry theme though, I was just gonna use a Custom Hero theme with BBerry Icons (actually looks pretty hot).
Thanks for the interest though, hopefully someone can make something happen with these.
someone should make a theme with these icons!
I will turn this into a theme for openhome these are great icons and sorry to hear about the bricked G1's

Sounds great. I will be waiting for those. When you make the open home theme, can you upload it here so we can pull the resized icons?
And for the G1's, T-Mobile customer service is great (and my Frat brother works for them) so it's all good. Lol.
what's the size of these icons? did they come from plazmic?

Which ones are you trying to enlarge? From the looks of it, you need to be
making them smaller
Most of these are 80x80? this should be no prob and yes I will upload for all of XDA to enjoy You wan't 48x48 right?
I usually use 64x64 but the default is 48x48.
And if you actually try to use the icons, they show up smaller than the standard sized icons... I know the pics say the icons are larger, maybe they get shrunk too far with resizing.

I have been building custom BB themes for a long time, and have more icons in all sizes than you can possibly imagine if you are interested. I also have a good deal of experience re-sizing them- chris aka riffman [email protected]
Hey everyone. I know that you all have way to much on your hands already but I just wanted to throw something out there.
I am looking for a theme that is not very far from stock, actually it would be exactly like stock except instead of green colors everywhere, you would have a different color like blue. I would REALLY love one where the green was changed to purple or a purple/pink color but I would probably be the only one to use it so blue is ok.
Would this be a hard theme to make since not much is changing but the green color? I wish I knew how to do it. I am using the EK02 UnNamed ROM also and there aren't many theme options so maybe this could be one of the firsts.
You can try the ICS theme we have, some people have gotten it to work on UnNamed, some havent.
It's not that it's hard to change it all to pink, it is just very time consuming to change every single piece to pink. It could be something simple like just the battery & network Icons but going all out and changing the overscroll glow, dialer, and the framework etc. is a ton of work. Most of it requires working with .9 files which can't just be edited like a normal .png.
i think a red one would be awesome. blood blood blood.
i can imagine changing everything would be tedious. tracking things down in every menu, etc etc.
requires more patience than i probably have.

I made (edited) a theme chooser theme once for my motorola cliq on cyanogen and it was very time consuming and I had to work with a png9 editor and it did kinda suck...
If I could find a theme out there that was very close to stock....I would have no issues editing the icons myself and then sending it back to the owner for resigning or whatever needed to be done. I just can't find a theme that is close to stock LOL.

The limited edition theme is not in the theme store
The Ultimate Iron Man S6 edge Review!: https://youtu.be/Ued-Ohvq468 this one
The difference between the stock market theme and special edition. What I spotted so far from unboxing. There's an extra two wallpapers to choose from. Also the colours, the app draw colours are gold and red instead of silver and red. Example all the app icons drawn silver round the edges and the lock screen phone and camera icons are solid silver. Special edition are gold. I would love to see them in gold they look sexier. Only 1000 being made, might not see this theme dumped tho.
Yes I hope someone will help who has it and does anyone have any of those wallpapers
Sure some one could chage the old theme to new one by editing the icons ect in photo shop ect
Ps why don't you email people that have the s6 on YouTube see if they send you the wallpapers if you can explan to them how to extract the wallpapers apk
I will try that
ones iv dun as an example
Looking good my friend
Be quite cool if could edit full normal theme to make into limeted edishion one my icons I did are just an example that possibility it could be done if any ones willing to take the time and edit all the icons ect in the theme
I asked let's see if I get a answer and those icons look really nice
spent all day editing the original theme to look like the limited edition one
sent off to a themer to build theme and to test it
Thank you can't wait
It's a long shot but has any one tried changing there location using a vpn if lucky might be to get the theme off samsung that way not sure how the theme app works tho
Looks like we might not get my edit working as original samsung themes can not be edited and applyed read on thread there http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...e-samsung-stock-s6-themes-collection-t3080847
Alternative is to use Icon changer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en
and use my edited icons on 1st page
I added the normal Iron Man theme and tried to change just the icons to the gold ones use Icon Changer but it shows the black circle around them like normal icons unfortunately.
These Avenger themes have sweet looking icons and backgrounds, but it sucks that they crash cocktailbar. Has anyone had any luck working around the issue?

Actually all 3rd Party Themes are crashing on mine too, it closes and a "Unfortunately, Cocktailbar Service stopped" message pops out. Default theme works good.
hey guyz.,
i just wanted to see colored icons on my windows phone, so i started working on it.
but two months back i got an android phone and now i'm too busy.,
i colored few icons(you can see the result in attached images).
so if any of you are interested please color the remaining icons and share.
thank you
@Sai Chrisna, I can tell you truly (nothing personal): if these icons was built in original WP UI, I'll never buy that "colorful" junk
Colored icons actually adds nothing to UI, but color scheme you've used looks really ugly.

Yea i know, i'm really bad at adding proper colors and that was also one of the reasons i shared the file here,
That was just a test file and we can always change colors
And i don't know why you didn't like it but all my friends liked it when i showed them

Maybe 'cause I have a "sense of style"? You know, the really good icons (or any miniatures) creation requires a lot of stuff; you can't just colorize vector graphics and get a good result.
From my point of view, one of a great advantages of the "Metro UI" is a simplicity and brevity, and colors are not a part of the whole idea.
As for your friends: all people are different (and it's good of course!), many young guys are using naked gals pics or "Pokemon" themes for their handsets but I'm not of this kind :laugh:

If you haven't observed.,
I did not just add colors, i re-edited almost all the main icons, except for the "apps" icon that recently appeared on creators update.
I understand you've got that same old sense of style as Microsoft., No offense, but what's wrong? why don't you keep calm if you are not interested...
There are some people like me who use "third party themes & icons" on desktop and want to apply the same concept here on phone.
Don't post your personal opinions and discourage people who are interested in doing something cool.
perfect ?
but i dont like the android icons
look like setting icon or sim card
A tecnical question
Witch app is used to edit this colored font file ?

Please help me..... I want to replace with original file
@sensboston
they are good looking icons even if not your style. have you produced any? lately?
@esgibtnur1, they aren't good: bunch of different styles, bad color gamma, not relevant images (to icon's meaning).
As for "have you produced any?": I'm not an artist (but I have a good sense of style) but one of my app tiles ("Voice Translator") was selected by Microsoft to appear on the gift card.
