Major thanks to Manup465 as he provided the status bar, the bottom notification bar, and the app bar used in one of the backgrounds. Thanks alot for your help Manup465!
Major thanks to Necromancer as he came up with the idea of replacing the fonts on the phone, between the two of use we were able to do it! Thanks alot man!
Also, before we get started, you will need root, and Jesusfreke's Mod rc30 installed(1.3), Mod ADP1(Actually, I would think that this would work on the default ADP), or Mod RC8(1.3) MAKE SURE IT'S V1.3!!!.
THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
While I highly doubt it will, it still could!
If you are going to do this, I very highly URGE you to install the G1 engineering bootloader. With this installed, if something does go wrong, your phone is salvageable!

G1 Engineering bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
With all that said an done I can get rid of that bold font.
This is a very simple process thanks to Jesusfreke helping me understand how to make an update.zip file which will work with his mod rc30 update.
Simply download the file, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S.
Once it says its done, reboot the phone and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any problems at all!
Let me know what you want to see in the next release, be reasonable I'm not a master image maker, and android does some strange things to some images.
Let me know if something seems out of place, or wrong.
I will try to resolve all issues as quick as I can.
Take a look at the pictures!
This theme comes with both the standard wallpaper shown and the wallpaper with the app bar provided by Manup465. These wallpapers are in the wallpaper gallery.

Besides the obvious visual differences, what else has changed or been modified/fixed/etc? I think i like your other theme better, and if there is little or nothing changed behind the scenes i think ill stick with it. Great work though guys, another original looking theme!
Awesome theme!!!!
Ouch...hope im not hit with that. But at least you can now update to JF's RC 30v1.3, and try again
momentary, message me on gtalk...I want you to try something

Pablizzo, I made some corrections added some fixes changed the magnifying icons and the look thats about it. It does contain bug fixes though....
same ol same
hey stericson its the same ordeal this theme is soooo sick man and i cant even flash it
success
hey i flashed the rc30 1.3 and then your theme and it worked yes! great theme
For anyone having ANY issues flashing the phone (or if you freeze up).
Take the card out and use an adaptor (or at least this is how I did it) to install JF's new 1.3 version for the phone...

Once you do that, just reboot and then install the theme as shown above. Just did it and it looks AWESOME
Anyones device who froze at the g1 screen I believe the problem was that you run out of space on the device, causing some programs from getting flashed over, which would cause your phone not to boot. Installing JF's rc30 V1.3 fixes this by drastically increasing /systems free space.

Amen! With this and JF's update, I feel like I just got a new phone! The thought put into detail is amazing!
thanks for the new theme! working great so far. loving the new icons 8)
Stericson you did it again!! the main system icons are changed and i love them! your theme keeps getting better and better
for those who are missing Browser from the previous theme:
I installed JF's 1.3 then Stericson's new theme and the browser came back. I dont know if its the new theme or the order of installation.
NOTE:
For anyone getting "stuck" at the Android screen, you need the NON-ADP1 version of JF1.3. This is written for that version and NOT for the developer version.
Got stuck in a loop and didn't realize why until I did a little hunting.
Did I mention I ****LOVE**** this theme????
Ok this may be a dumb question but i have everything installed on my g1 you say is needed. One question though, i have never put a theme on g1 yet, do i need to have a previous theme installed for new one to work or can i just put this on right now?
Should work without wiping...has for everyone else. If it doesnt, just do a wipe manually.
BTW, A version of my theme for ADP1 has been released
Just installed this on my g1 after recently downgrading to rc29 then installing modded tc8 then installed jf 1.3 adp1. This theme went on no probs and didnt even have to wipe!!.
Nice work
browser icon
Is there a way to install theme and push the auto rotate browser and keep the new theme icon?
On v1.3 it wont i have tried it with the auto rotate browser i made edit to for my theme and nothing.
@Stericson
Do you know if the pics bug is the build or the themes problem? I am having this problem when you scroll the pics it goes down a little bit then resets,it does it all the time an I think its the theme that frame around the pics but where is that part in framework-res?
Oh an i think said this before this theme is HOT!!!!!
So maybe Stericson can help me. Everytime I load a new theme, and I have Koush's Auto-rotate browser set up, I lost my browser function. I can push the browser back, but then the browser icon returns to the stock icon (which sucks if you're using manup's blue theme) Anyone else having this problem?
manup's blue theme is the only one that has survived since manup has taken the auto rotate browser and applied the icon change. you can download the file here ://www.mediafire.com/?0wtm3mlntzj (file is on post #66 from blue theme thread)
change it the name to browser.apk and place on sd card and follow the steps to push it thru.
I have not found the flame theme browser icon update yet, so for now I am sticking to the blue theme until someone comes up with it unless I learn how to do it myself.
Please delete this thread.
i look forward to some screenies.
Getting a error at line 7: when flashing
Anyone have any luck flashing?
Can someone direct me how to assemble just a theme update.zip? As I said, I've only done full roms that I themed.
Since there are some issues with Cyanogen and Google though, I can't post the full rom, that I know is 100% working.
I can't wait to buy a Cliq, but damn that red highlight is ugly.
I redownload it and tried flashing again still no luck. Really nice theme look forward to install it. Red highlights and all.
port for 4.1.99?
yeah port over to 4.1.99?
Using android kitchen seems pretty limited! Want to theme my work but frustrated a little need advice! Can i just swap some files framework, res or something!
sent from my personal cooked eVoKINGS SUPERSONIC v1.1
in my experiance ... yes you can. I ooften take themes and swap parts of them into roms doing this. you may find some of the files in com.htc.resources too. The trick is to decomile the reamework/resources files replace the .png files you want and then recompile them and put them into your rom. It shoudlnt be to hard to use an exsiting them to do this unless your rom has special ui elements (ie the switch bar in the notification drop down i still cant figure out how to get correct)
I tried swapping frameworks,Res files most that worked swapped phone dialer image with gimp! Yeah! Any file folders that i can swap between roms let me know! eVoKINGS Supersonic v1.1 is my first rom that i am working on AOSP 2.2.1 posted it yesterday! Thanks for the response!

One of two things I'd like to do.
1.create an android theme app for the cm7 theme manager
2.or, be able to cook/insert theme into a post inc rom build. Can someone help or point me to someone who can?
I realized this topic had been covered for other devices but not the inc.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean.. pretty much just follow this guide and by the end you just have to drag the file to your phone and install then select it from the T-Mobile theme chooser.

Hi everybody
This is a theme i made using the ultimate online kitchen (http://uot.dakra.lt/). It is based on the Gingerreal2 theme.
I made theme for me and if you don't like it, just be quiet. The .zip includes the .uot settings file so you can change anything you want and upload your system files.
i am not responsible for any damages. I only tested it with the Gingerreal 2 rom others may not work.
I am not a developer and i have no idea about Errors or things doesn't work.

sorry for my bad english
Great theme! Good work!
