[Q][POLL] Should I keep maintaining this theme? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

This theme I built (located HERE) doesn't seem to have much of a fanbase. Should I maintain it, or let it die?

BUMP!

I actually don't go in the themes section very much, but this green looks pretty awesome! I'll give it a shot when i get home later tonight...

Do you like working on it for yourself? If so keep going. If your doing it just for others then well let them decide.
Looks great though. Good work!!

Exactly. If you use it and you like it that should be the primary reason for it to exist with having others like it being a big bonus.
I am sure maybe you got a little tired of working on it and wanted to see what the public opinion was but what borkan said stands.

If it is a work load thing maybe converting the blue theme to green would streamline the update process. I believe you mentioned before that the green theme was a different product that the red and blue ones. Just a thought.
Swyped from my E4GT running Blazer 4.1

I don't really use it. I got some requests from a few people for a green ICS theme with Dark Fire elements, so it was basically built by request. I don't want to maintain something I don't use if it doesn't have much of a fan base. I could use my time more wisely (like building a theme that people like). I wanted to see for sure if people still want me to maintain this theme. That's why I started this poll.

I love the green, if you made the theme for nocturnal venum I would be all over it

White

I'm looking for a white custom rom. seems every theme out there is called the dragon or demon evo or some classy dark name and all blacked out.
at first i wanted black but its starting to bug a bit and need a change of scenery. any good roms out their that are white or just not all black for that matter.

MIUI is mostly white, however you may pigeonhole it for it's iPhone-y reputation. I'm not a fan of the iPhone by any means, but I really like MIUI. It's clean, polished, different.
It does take some getting used to at first, though.

well thats a bummer. Whats the reason, dont they want people using there product?

I really hope....

That this phone doesnt have as terrible of themes as the EVO. It seems like this forums is full of EVO migrants, and while I loved the phone and the roms were awesome...the themes were SO gaudy(just my opinion no need to take offense). Loved the themes from the captivate tho, if theres no themes that fit my taste here ill just have to see if i can get permission to port a few of the captivate themes over here. (also matted blues lol).
Theres a ton of epic migrants too and when my computer is up and running again ill start porting a theme over
Oh btw i was one of the ppl who ported matted blues over to the epic so ill see if i can help with that

Im not really all that picky when it comes to themes....theres just a point when using so much of one color and alot of low quality things becomes to much for me to handle lol.

DARKEDGE UI for ICS ??

You surely have already heard about the Darkedge ui theme..in my eyes, the most complete dark black theme never seen on Android. Not only the system apk where inverted but the whole framework , including new apps installed, turned inverted, so that the black text invert white on black background. This is what we miss mostly on the curent themes we have on ICS . If themers could concentrate on that specific part of the framework, that would make themes looks even much better, i attached some pics of the Darkedge theme..i miss it
Darkdge was the best theme I have ever used...hands down. It was so complete and so sleek, it is what I miss most about my OG Droid. I would love if Darkedge came out on the G Nex, but I don't think it'll happen. I'm pretty sure that team is no more. I would love to be wrong, but unless someone can confirm anything else, that's what I'm going with.
that's nice man
i agree! it was for sure the most complete theme of all time! i would rock that on my nexus in a heart beat!
You can always try the DarkEdge ADW themes.. not nearly the same, but not bad if you really like it.
darkedge = awesome!!!!!

Of course ADW darkedge could reproduce a little taste of it..but sorry im partisant of the whole experience..the 100% theme
i tried to contact the themer Xedoxus, but no answer..the last news i got, was that they were working on a similar theme called "Sentio ui" and would be avalaible on the market for all android systems...well, not done yet...
wow this is unbelievably beautiful a theme...would be so nice on nexus
The theme just looks great...i hope someone will port it soon to our nexus

In the thread, they say to reach out to this email ([email protected]) to get approval for porting/modification.
I'd love to see this as well. Additionally, I think it would be flippin' awesome to modify/customize it to make it fluid with ICS as it already exists. Maybe that's just me.
It would have to be more than just ported over. Every image would have to be redone for our screens.

The most difficult part would actually be the tons of XML's not the png's,as they TOTALLY Inverted each part so that when you install any apk on your system, it will turn to white text on black background.. no one has done that before and no other theme till now!! All the modifications have been made in the framework-Res.apk
If you success porting it totally...you are a pro!!

Not gonna happen. People have been asking for a long ass time and they don't want to do it. I agree that it was probably the best, most complete theme I have ever used and it would be even better on the GNex considering all that it is capable of, but I wouldn't hold my breath over it. Hopefully someone decides to try porting it, I know it would be a huge theme free or paid.
+1 for dark edge. Waiting for that theme to be released was a huge thing back in the day.. while I seriously doubt a full port will happen, that would be really awesome

AOKP Themes?

I know the ROM is still being tweaked, but what kind of work is left to be done before the themers can really tear into AOKP? (I'm kinda looking at some of the "higher ups" of the Inc2 community here......Knipp, Tylerlawhon, PacerguyDon)
I'm not really looking for a full theme at this point, but I've seen some for other devices and I think some color choices other than the ICS standard blue would be kickass.
Don't get me wrong....I'm not trying to be pushy or to rush the Devs and Themers of this glorious community....just ready for some bacon. Lulz.

I love how out of the "higher ups" you chose me, someone who knows nothing about this lol. Although, I feel honored that I'm considered to be lumped on with this group by someone. Sorry I can't help with themes, like I said I know absolutely nothing about theming, but I'm sure some well come along.

What are you looking for?
I've themed ICS before..
First off let me apologize if I get some things wrong.....I don't know a lot about theming so some of my terminology could be wrong.
I don't really think I'm looking for a full theme as far as themed apps and custom animations....just color options as far as framework ( I think) goes. Like on AOKP you can change the clock and battery bar colors, but not the battery icon itself. Small things like this and maybe changing some colors on select icons. I know most of this could probably be done in either ZipThemer or MetaMorph, but these days I don't really get the time to sit down and commit to learning from scratch

Hmm... Thanks for including me, but A themer I'm not. I've made boot animations, but that's about the extent of my building abilities.
Now, what I would like to have in an Aokp theme would be something like what I've got on my phone now using CM9 and Ics Reloaded...
I'm tired of the Ics Blue look, so went more for the monochrome look. Now just to dull out the icons
I ran this them for a day before I found out it broke the phone app. Should just be as simple as unzipping the theme and putting our phone apk in there instead. Its a good theme.
If you run this please don't post in that thread as our device isn't supported. He is working on the issues already to support our phone.

Cool. Thanks for the link knipp... Looks like a clean theme, although my eyes are starting to hate the color blue. Between this and my TFP all i see is ICS blue; I need some red or green Can't wait for CM9 theme engine to start working and some of our great devs to theme ICS roms...

I wasn't trying to give anyone any titles they didn't want haha. Again, the people I named were just three that I've seen involved in almost all of the development threads, and you guys seem to know way more about our device's hardware than I do. Given this, I just figured you guys would be able to tell me more than the general public here on XDA could.
Pacerguy: Nice looking setup you've got there. I've been using ICS Reloaded alongside Apex launcher on Aero's CM9 ROM ever since you posted the link and recommended. Couldn't be happier with the amount of customization options it gives until we have a complete CM build.

Blazer Themes??
I really like the Rom - and yes I am somewhat a noobie, but I follow directions really well... The question?
For such a popular Rom, why is it so difficult to find Roms that work with Blazer 4.1? It seems like only 4 or 5 are out there guarenteed to work..
Also - my girl has a galaxy S II - Come on fellas, show the ladies some love.. Dont you know what happens if all the women of the world are unhappy?? Pink please! clearly compatible with Blazer, which seems to me to be the best Rom (obviously there are other very fine Roms out there, no disrespect)
In closing.. White and Red go really good together... not a lot of red, but a lot of white... a little black as well... anywho .. if someone puts this together, that would be dope...
Maybe I'll learn how to put themes together... sounds interesting.. Thanks for reading..... "its the economy stupid."
