I don't know if any of you have been around Sprint Android long enough to remember me, but I was one of the more active themers for the Samsung Moment before I switched phones. I have my Epic Touch coming tomorrow, and I was thinking about remaking one of my most popular themes for the Moment: Minimal Elegance, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trying it out once its finished. I basically want to know if I should even bother, because it would take a while, I'm very curious though. You can see screenshots from this old theme attached below.

Thats sexy
i would like to see it ported
Go for it. With more variety we will get more innovation.
go for it! I know i'll be using it.
Ultra sexy. We already have one minimal theme but the more the better!
yeaa buddy. im always up for something new and this looks promising. pm me if you need a tester
id definitely take a stab at it
That elegance is minimal
Please remake it for the ET4G. That's the kind of theme I would use for a long time!

I would like to see this come to pass as well. Very sharp. Appreciate u coming in.
I think white small icons are elegant and the total black backgroud is just exact theme suitable for SA screen.but if the dialer pad is pure black with white color number would be more perfect.
Old Moment owner here...please do. That preview graphic brought back memories...most bad, but nostalgia none-the-less. This phone is light-years beyond the moment....would love to have a theme like that now, especially with no data lockups, lol.
Doesn't it take only two hours to make a full theme like that?
Old SDX/Moment user here, and I'm sure you could pump out some pretty cool themes

It would take me longer, for one I am very rusty, being out of the game for about a year, and then other complications I'm anticipating:
-going from mdpi to hdpi. Some of the elements that I made from scratch were made for the moment screen, so I would have to redo them, and with .9.pngs, it would be a process making them bigger.
-going from stock 2.2 to 2.3 with Touchwiz, the Samsung framework stuff will probably cause some stuff I haven't had to run into before.
-the same stuff goes for not only the framework-res files but also the themed apks, I like to put out a complete product, so hopefully patience will be key.
As for the comment about the dialer, that dialer was only ported because of the ugly (imo) dialer of stock android 2.1. But yeah, I'll give it my best shot, but I have to wait until I get my phone tomorrow and get rooted and all that jazz. Is there a stock deodexed theme template around here? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I see you made the upgrade too. I look forward to your themes again. Have you looked into theming for CM? Maybe I should finish the Ubuntu theme for the Touch.
Minimalistic is my style. Would love to see this on the Epic Touch
Sent from my Epic SGS II
Would definitely rock a theme like that. We could use more minimalist options for the E4GT.

mrbaker, its good to see you again, man! I wasn't aware there was a CM build for the E4GT, am I missing something?
Always liked your Moment themes! Good to see you here.

Thank you so much for posting this. Now I can't wait until I get home tonight so I can try this out.

Picture problem fixed post #1 has the updated version.
despite it being a girly-looking theme, the icons are looking pretty sexy. Great looking theme
kudos to you!
This is a preview to see what i am doing.
I want take this space to thank all the theme designers on the site for keeping me motivated to keep making themes with your GREAT! work. Special thanks to
Stericson who is the major reason we can even do this also JF for the awesome work hes doing and all the guys working on creating themes,builds etc.....keep up the good work.
Oh also special thanks to damnitpud for the guide and letting us know the icons needed to be compressed to work with RC33.

Thats pretty sweet man, i'd probably use it when it's released.
Them stars better not cut my finger!
I like!
WoooHoooo, Lookin Sharp!!
Looking badass!! Def. dig the shurikens!!!
Dude that sword background is the ish!!! Can't wait to get my hands on that!
HAHA... shinobi son!!! Great work so far manup. This will definitely be added to my collection.
Thanks guys i just added new pics i changed the battery the clock and you can see the dial pad i am going to use,this theme should be out soon for testing.
SWEET!
I think this might be one of your best ones yet dude...
I have a feeling this will be my favorite... I'll beta test this one for sure.
That's awesome.
You should do the clock numbers in Japanese or something.
Looks great so far, only thing I don't like is the IE FF forever lol!

OOOOOOoooooo nice touch! The reflection you provided the battery is perfect for it to bask in it;s digital glory.
Manup you never fail to impress! Looks great good job!
ninja!
I like it, but can we get some icons or something for it? that IE icon just doesnt fit in
I am glad everyone likes what i am doing i just posted all new pics with shots of most of the icons,I say like in two more days this will be out for BETA testing.
I posted new pics of all the icons i will be using for this theme let me know what you guys think.
looks really nice, can't wait for tihs to come out, i really like blue, so between this and Fade to Blue, which damitpud is doing a great job with fixing things, it might be a close race to my phone. will deffinately install this as soon as it comes out
damn, always quality work. gonna use your screen shot as my wallpaper
I changed the internet icon and i posted pics of the Zoom in an out and the music player i did something different i want to know what you guys think.
This is my first try at a theme... Made some icons myself, others grabbed from various sites, but the whole undertaking is a bit more than I expected, so I'll be at it for a while...
So please offer your best or worst criticism... I can take it... OH Yeh, the clock hands are not like that for real, I was too tired to sign the last update It'll be fixed in the next post with some other screen shots

Nice! I really like it. The artwork around the clock is part of the bg or part of the clock itself? Cuz I often thought that someone should do something like that. Nice start tho : D
nice icons i used them on one of of my earlier themes... lookin good, thought of doing that to tha clock 2... glad to see ideas come to life
Lookin good, cant w8 for it.
Very sharp! Keep it going, it looks great so far.

That's part of the clock... I may change the background though, this is just a first draft...
Nice work! Don't give up....I'm working on my first theme.... there's a lot more than I expected....but when I release it will be worth it! Keep up the good work man!
Aim=dead2hill <--- be my theme teammate lol, seriously....... I think it would be cool to have teams one could work on half and the other the other half....would push out themes faster and quicker updates...... I really don't know what I'm talking about...just a tad bored.....lol
Good work man!
I see a lot of images that look like .gif images,bro if you need any help with this theme let me know. Looks good great start.
Sweet I like it.
I first saw the title I thought it might be FLUX CAPACITOR like in Back to the Future. But it is still good.
Someone should make a BTTF theme lol.

Yeh bro, I can use all the help I can get... I'm working with .PNGs though, Do they seem a bit rough aroung the edges?
Paint.NET has a very powerful editor that allows you to edit individual pixels... Not sure if that's a big deal for you guys but that blew me away, haven't used anything like it before.
I like it! specially that clock (like everyone else)
Only drawback would be the color around the upper right digital clock, it's my personal pet peeve with some of the themes, when I'm doing something and want to check the time, a dark back ground on black text makes it hard.
but i think it's sweet
I was hoping you guys know of a themer, or can point me in the right direction....
I would like my dialer to look like a pay phone, big block silver buttons. I realize pay phones are a thing of the past, but I think it would be really cool looking to have shiny silver buttons on the G1.

Thoughts? With that said, I LOVE the Call button and Delete button on the screen too like the newest Cyan Dialer has... would hope to keep that in there.
I think I am being boycotted from XDA, none of my posts seem to get any response.
You may want to read the sticky in this forum. Android Themes have moved/merged into a single place where you may find all the theme makers.
Prash, thanks man... I know there is that section now, but I thought it was for actually finding themes to download... WTF is this section for now? I figured it was more of a request/Q&A for themes....
I'm NOT a fan of the new categories/
@s15274n
There is alot of work and effort that goes into making a theme.
That's why most of the kick-ass themes you DO SEE are updated versions of past themes where the developer has optimized their images, added a new this or that.
You've not been boycotted, but maybe your theme idea just has not generated enough interest.
There has to be some kind of interest in this old school phone dialer idea for it to even be considered.
Even with that, there is lots of work to be done.
I'd recommend that you read the stickies posted about HOW to make a theme. If you are on Windows XP or Vista, it should be pretty simple. It's an easy to follow set of long complex instructions.
If you should do it yourself, you guarantee that NO ONE IN THE WORLD has this kick ass theme.

glad to see that the people with a smaller number of posts actually know the stickies exist and know where to point people. maybe there is some hope for XDA.
and as far as the dialer goes. its mostly editing and changing png files. if you can find a good pic of a payphone dialer, you should be able to do this yourself or with the help of a theme maker.
Yo....If you find me a good pic of the old school dialer, I'll get this made up for you.

Gonna try it using that pic. Should have it up by Wednesday night.

It is only now that I have enough experience to share with others where applicable.

I really like it, but think it would look cooler without the black background. I want it to look like you picked up a payphone and are looking at the silver face.
ok, i thought id take a shot at this because i really dont want to do this all by myself. i'm considering undertaking a theming project that will include woodgrain graphics all over. im not talking about anything cheezy looking thrown together like a 2-year-old, im looking to go all out on this and its gonna be a nice, elegant, darkish theme such as the inside of a bmw with black leather. the wood? maybe something this shade or a little darker...

Sounds like a great idea. Best of luck on this theme. I would rock it on my phone.

This could be interesting.. I've always been a fan of the dark woodgrain tho, like the dark greyish blues with some cream highlights or somethin? Maybe a dark woodgrain status bar with a creamy looking lockscreen? I dunno but I'm intrigued and will check back. Sorry I'm no themer or dev but would I'd flash it and leave feedback for ya when it was done.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608607&page=2
I'm sure you can do a google image search of woodgrain, but came across this on XDA.
I think this would be awesome and have considered it myself but I anticipated distortion problems would arise with the stretching of .9.png images. As for images try searching google for woodgrain textures for use in 3d renderings. There are lots of free ones available for public use and its easier then creating from scratch or trying to modify a photograph. Good luck I'm curious to see your results.

Yes we will have to have horizontal grain.. I think that'll help the skewing.
cd's or tapes?
Feel free to PM me a couple of ideas that you would want worked on and I will see what I can come up with. Are you looking for everything custom like wallpapers and icons?

That stuff can totally come last. Framework and twframework will definitely be priority.

Just a headsup... adw theme already exists. And so does beautiful widgets and its all embossed so it looks slick.

yeah ive seen them both man i love those programs. just need some slick framework to go with them. im gonna get started on this soon.. just have to get some kinks worked out with gingerbread on my phone.. might just wait till official drops, as i really dont care to run the leak for testing, i need overclocking for emulators.
