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.

If you find me the icons I can throw it together for you no problem.
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 have veered away from the Tool theme, and made this just a straight Red and Black theme. The clock is the only thing left of the Tool aspect.
As always, this could possibly brick your phone, so it's not responsibility if you do, etc.
This has been updated to work with JFv1.41 and includes the multi-touch browser.
RC30 only. If someone wants to port it to RC8 and/or ADP1, go for it.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?x21yz49xzmq
Version 2: Updated for JFv1.41, and camera issue fixed.
Pics:
1. Main screen. Shows the clock, and pull tab.
2. Icons and highlighted pull tab.
3. Landscape, Google search, folder icon, and highlighted icon.
4. Music player colors.
5. Trash tab.
6. Curtain transparency and bottom.
7. The wallpaper I am using, in case someone wants it.
8. Another wallpaper that fits very well with this theme.
Questions, comments, bugs? Let me know.
I think the front cover image on the "Opiate" cd would make a pretty cool wallpaper.
cant wait! one of my favorite bands aswell. im still waiting for a metallica theme
looks good
Finally a nice red and black theme i cant wait for it
Love the TOOL idea, one of the greatest bands ever
Now this is a theme I can use.
New clock is okay but the one in the first pic is my favorite.
Keep it up!

Bump for release. 1-25-09 2:06AM Central time
And sorry wergeld, but I liked my new clock better. Much simpler, and easier on the eyes. Especially for someone who isn't a fan of Tool artwork.
Ha, no worries on the clock. I am going to get this!
Another idea to try: using the "Eye" as the menu tab.
Great job all around. 2 of my 2 thumbs up!
wergeld
Is there a method posted for converting a theme from RC30 > ADP1
Please post a screenshot of your theme. ty

Sorry, but as the first post says, I have veered away from Tool, and made this just a Red/Black theme. A Tool theme in my mind, and will be made, just not quite yet.
Also, updated for JFv1.41 as of 1-25-09 11:30PM Central Time

Screens have been up the whole time. ...?
Awww, I was loving the **** out of the application tab you had for the lateralus eye, any change of adding that to a quick modded version? Was my favorite part
I dig the new clock, but I am with tehseano about the menu slider. Even the aenima tv flame would be cool.
Great job and I know a lot of peeps are looking foward to a tool theme.
This is now my theme.

I liked the pull tab as well, but as I said in the main post, I wanted to make a universal Red/Black theme. Also as I said, a completely Tool-centric theme is in the works. And I have a lot of homework to do tonight, but if I get the time, I'll make a quick change and replace the Lateralus pull tab and upload a version for that.

Thank you very much! And I'll still be awaiting that tool theme whenever you do finish it, keep up the great work!
For anyone that has downloaded this theme, please go download it again. I updated the file, because of a camera issue I just caught. This new one fixes it.
wont extract!!
Hey, ive been trying to get this theme, i can download it just fine, but when i try to extract the files it tells me it failed to extract ALL the apps and folders and says the path is invalid...all it ends up coming up with is the apps.file, framework.file, and the META-INF folder. Everything elses gets thrown out. Im running Windows Vista 32-bit and using win-rar to extract...i dont get it! ive downloaded several other themes and they all came out just fine...help!
It's just the way it's packed. If you extract the .apks directly, it works. But may I ask why you are extracting them anyway? If you want to flash it to your phone, you don't need to extract it. If you are going to modify my files, use the above method, but give me some credit if you use it in another theme
Name Plates
Discontinued until further notice and Do Not Edit or share Without my permission
That is totally cool!
Think you could post the template so that it could be used for icons?
Really nice!
oremoved template per owners wish
This is a nice, clean theme. Thank you Randum
Any chance of making this into a full blown theme?
I really like the look. And would like to see maybe a lock screen and some other additions. I can do my own shortcut icons but the rest would be great!
cool
luv it! look what i can do
open home + bettercut + font pack 1 + glasklart icon pack + wallpaper from
http://groups.google.com/group/lock2
Awesome. Of all I have seen from you I think this is the one I like the most. Its clean. Its simple but odd enough I doubt I'll see anything else like it. If you don't make it into a full theme I may just for myself.
|Spike|
i think it's your best concept and can see this expanded into a full theme very easily
Can you please post just the icon pack and possibly a psd for the icons instead of the one for the programs tab
made changes to the status bar, i tried my hand at a custom battery icon, no charging one though, and made a 3g icon alos to match the clock...
this is the 1st release
http://www.mediafire.com/?m3zzkwf0a2m
this is the updated zip....
http://www.mediafire.com/?lifkjqtumlu
I'd like it. That clock looks bad ass!
Can u post the link cuz i really want this theme! THANKS
I definitely digg the wallpaper!!
very cool
I would like it also, please post a link
I will post the link when I get home from work.....
Hellz yea! Illmatic clock! Bag it up, I'll take it.
Ya this would be a must have theme for me to rock!!! Please upload it so we can...
Loved the mobster theme too! Thanks a lot!
thanks, appreciate it. I will post a update soon
I LOVE THIS THEME!!! Maybe the battery could have been a dagger or something to that effect.
thats a good idea, i will work on it
Cool!!! I don't wanna seem like im trying to rain on your perade because honestly this is the best theme by far i think! I love how the dragons are holding the icons!!!
nah no rain, i like the suggestions, always can make things better one way or another....
Have you thought of doing a icon for the google maps yet, since it seems like out of the main icons thats the only one left without a dragon. I also love that the toolbar on top if thats what its called is dark enough to not see the time so i can put the retro clock on the screen and doesn't look stupid being there. Once again props I haven't been able to keep a theme for longer then 1 day and so far I'm still on this one.
yeah i will add the dragon to it, just forgot....
I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

This reminds me that I forgot to mention a few things in the original post.
Something Fallout/Pip-boy inspired could be cool!
Best game ever!! Can't stop playing.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.
