Sorry thought u were talking about a rom and bubs asop magic is the closest theme to this sorry for the misunderstanding

No biggie. I dont even care about the cyan junk...i just want the pretty colors LOL

This does look really cool, I would port it but I'm not a fan of blue lol. I'll download the rom and poke around in the framework to see the images and how easy it would be to port.

Slick looking theme! Wish I knew something about porting!

I've been able to replace our Market and notification background with both versions from the above posts, and they are real sick! I can start posting them as I go along but I've never posted a zip, nor do I know how to create a zip to flash in clockwork so I'll take a look around and figure it out, or if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it!

Freakin sweet!! Downloading now and adding bits and pieces to my theme too. Like posted above I'm not familiar on how to make a flashable zip through clockwork either. maybe someone will chime in.

I usually just grab an existing (theme only), delete out the stuff I don't want, add in the apks (like framework-res.apk) I've modded, then flash... if you're just doing png edits. And make sure you keep the same file structure, of course.

Well I actually tried that but was unsuccessful. Maybe because I was using winrar. I'll try it with 7zip maybe that's my issue. Thanks!

[REQ] Stock Theme?

With so many new ROMs and their customizations, not everyone's going to like the themes they add. For example, in AnonymousROM i3, the font is different and there's a battery %. So my request is if someone can make a Stock Gingerbread Theme. Completely stock. As in what the phone looked like when you Odin the regular EF02 leak. This way everyone has the opportunity to revert back to the original theme on any ROM if they don't like it.
Anyone else agree? And if so, someone please work on this!

Marcusant is working on it. He will post when he is unbanned.

I was thinking about that a few days ago. I was thinking about putting out my theme for ef02. And while thinking about it I thought I should make a stock theme for those that wanted to revert back. Than I got side tracked and forgot about it. I already have most of out. Just need to do the kernel and figure out if there are any other tweaks to account for.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for it. Because I love the i3 ROM, but the font messed up a couple of things and it just doesn't look right, even after flashing the stock font, things weren't fixed.
So I really appreciate you doing this

OK I decided to do two versions. One is framework and fonts only. One is complete stock (entire system folder). Framework and fonts will only replace the /app/systemui.apk /framework and /fonts folders. The complete version is the entire /system folder. I don't have a theme so does anyone want to test this out for me? With the complete version any modified apps will be replaced with stock apps. Any removed bloat will come back.
All will be up in a while. Uploading.
Deodexed Framework and Font Only:

Deodexed Complete:

You need to include the font folder and the whole /framework and the systemui.apk so it works on all modified frameworks and removes all mods.

That way I can experiment more themes and not make a bunch of backups if I didn't like it.

[REQ] EL26 stock with some exceptions

I was going to ask this for EL13 but being that a new leak is out, might as well ask on that, lol...
I like to run stock but 2 things I'm addicted to are the battery % mod and the transparent drop-down drawer.
if I'm the only one, I wouldn't expect a themer to go nuts... but I know a lot of people like to run stock so if this can happen, I'd be eternally thankful

might want to change your topic it's EL26 EL22 was talked about but just as an RDF file that showed up iirc.

You don't know about UOT kitchen? Also you should read up on theming since the two things you are asking for can easily be done by you. Its just a matter of changing PNG files within the apk.

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol

PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

If this is something you really want I can do it for you. I would say do it yourself but the battery % mod can be a little tricky. I am assuming you just want the stock battery icons then?
PM me and we can chat more.

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?

Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!

It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium

Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.

XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.

You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

[Theme] Alternative Conversation Skins [V1.2]

Hey guys, I'm a relative from the AT&T LGOG community.
I made a small (amateurish) theme for the mms.apk for my phone and wanted to try and port it to the sprint variant.
I used the LGUSMms.apk from a deodexed ZV9 stock ROM (posted by b-reezy HERE).
I do not have the Sprint LGOG and therefor have not been able to test this.
Some great users have tested and reported it works. Thanks guys.
LINK to original AT&T thread.
I have spent the last 2 days re-theming the conversation skins for the stock LGUSMms.apk.
I was inspired by whiteguypl's theme HERE.
This has his dark holo theme included. (Has the same little issue where the text color of links that people send you is the same as the background color).
(If you have an issue with this whiteguypl, please let me know).
I have included screenshots for all the themes.
I know they are a little rough, I am still brand new to themeing.
This was some pretty tough work (mostly because I had to learn a lot and made a few mistakes in the process).
Usual Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any harm done to your device from flashing this.
I have flashed it fine on my phone without issues but cannot promise the same for you.
This replaces the LGUSMms.apk from /system/app/, so I strongly recommend either a system backup in recovery or at least making a copy of your LGUSMms.apk before installation.
Install via recovery.

Are you on a deodexed rom?
If not, maybe try renaming /system/app/LGUSMms.odex to LGUSMms.odex.bak (I'm assuming this is the name of it).
Then reboot.
I had a user say that that worked for another mod on a stock odexed rom.

Right, if you are deodexed there shouldn't be a .odex file, so there shouldn't have been anything to rename (if you renamed the .apk then the system won't see the app anymore, you'll want to change it back).
Did you try changing the conversation skin at all? Maybe one just didn't work (my guess it would be the blue striped background, the image names were different).
Can you try copying the THIS file (just the .apk in the .zip, maybe the .zip didn't flash right) to /system/app and making sure permissions are set to -rw-r--r--.
You'll have to reboot every time you change an app in there.
Thanks, and sorry it didn't work like it should have at first, I appreciate the help.

By copying the .apk or something else?
If so, maybe the .zip was messed up.
I'm thinking maybe the script is not mounting the partition correctly due to differences between the AT&T and Sprint versions.

Looks like that may have been the issue, changed the script, updated to V1.2.

And I was hoping to do more, but don't know when (see above) and was also hoping to fix the text color issues. I have been looking around in the .xmls and think I may have found the link colors, but I have yet to find out where the colors are set for individual skins (ie. the green "nature" theme has blue text in it because the original paper skin had blue text in it, I haven't been able to find where that is set).

Just wanted to give you an update, changed ROM's and flashed V1.2 and it worked perfect.

Works great wish we had more color schemes or choices
