[Q] Themes in ICS? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I tried searching for this but I just got a load of ICS themes for Gingerbread which was annoying!
Anyway, I was wondering how theming works in ICS? Can we still do the usual sort of themes e.g. Metamorph or flashable zips for things like the status bar?
Also, if we can theme in some way now, are the old themes compatible?
Thanks in advance!

(If you're talking about CM9) T-Mobile theme has not been updated (as of yet) for ICS. It's on CM's todo list, but hasn't made it there yet (and no, the old themes are not compatible)

Thanks for the quick response but nope i wasn't talking about CyanogenMod at all! I know most separate themes have kinda vanished since theme engine came out but I was thinking more along the lines of metamorph and flashable zips. Oh well I'll keep looking!

Since thomassafca has already made some ICS themes, ask him.

[Q] [THEME][REQUEST] Honeycomb Nitro 4.1 Port for CM7 DInc

Any chance the Nitro Honeycomb theme for the Fascinate can be ported over?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985689
Honeybread is decent, but this theme is by far the best HC theme I have seen yet!
Love the forum! Long-time listener, first-time caller.
I think that would be up to the guy who made the theme. Really amazing theme though!! I would love to have it on the Inc!!
Have you guys seen the honeybread theme for cm7? Its very similar, you csn get it in themes under android development
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
This theme indeed does look awesome
Agreed, I'm using Honeybread right now, and it honestly doesn't look all that much different.
I've got something pretty close to it right now, uploading when it's made and tested
EDIT: Attached. Based on Honeybread, cooked up in UOT. The only credit I take is that of putting it together.

Hit apply anyway. It works great

That's a limitation of the theme chooser unfortunately, as far as I can tell

-the lockscreen doesn't look like it's changing either with the theme chooser. is that what everyone else is experiencing and just a limitation of the theme chooser or is it just unthemed?

[REQ] Transition Animations for Themes

Hey guys, just curious if we could get some custom transition animations cooked into the themes made. Now that all our wonderful members are making these amazing themes I have a hard time choosing which theme I want to use so I can't just post this on one thread
I know MysteryEmotionz used some in his theme, and back when the gingerbread theme was compatible there was fly in and transition. Just wondering if this would be a possibility. Thanks in advance
Yes, I know what you're talking about. Amosher's FlyIn zip was the ****. I will see if it still works and if not we'll have to see about porting it with the help of the community. Will report later.
Edit: I downloaded the FlyIn.zip. I think all it is, is the framework-res.apk:/res/anim/*.xml files. If we decompile these and compile them back into our themes it should work, not holding my breathe though lol.
I will try it and let everyone know.

I can confirm the animations in Amosher's Fly In Framework are looking good in my framework for matted blues. Should see it integrated there soon.

AOSP Icons for KG6 (Stock)?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a working .Zip or SystemUI I can use with Stock KG6?
Love the Standard AOSP,Green Gingerbread look.... don't love the dull Samsung look!
Tried Rawats KG2 mod but this won't work as it did with KG3, there is also another one knocking about in the Dev section but the icons aren't stock Gingerbread and the colours are a little off (Not that I'm knocking anyone's work BTW)
Anyone help

sorry really is beyond my control i literally just switched out some images and got some better images to match the ics i didnt create that mod. if you can ask the original mod creator to change the order and then let me know i will add it to the ics theme again.
hope this helps
i will also add have you tried scrolling the widget bar left and right it had more widgets than can be shown by sliding it
also when in landscape you can see all of them.

ChameleonOS first public beta released for maguro and toro (and others)

ChameleonOS public beta has released! http://www.chameleonos.org/index.php
Check it out, could be fun

Looks a little tacky for my taste - but I appreciate the effort they've brought definitely.
On the chameleon website it says the theme manager can apply mtz, how do you apply them
Downloading now. Strange that a company like that used goo.im
You should put this in the development section.
They are calling for device maintainers in their forums. I noticed that there is no Toroplus love. Someone should get on that!

Will the ROM be updateable(is this a word?) from within the ROM or will updates have to be downloaded as they come out? I'm a paid member of goo.im so I was just wondering. Also, is this based on 4.2.2? What kernel does it use? And is GAPPS included?
If everyone is making assumptions before even trying it out, thats not even cool. I will try this out for sure and respond with my opinion within the next day or so. I'm looking forward to something a little different than the multiple clones we have available.

These are good questions I would also like to know. Mainly the Android version so I know what gapps to use (if needed).

Yes, eventually the updater app will be enabled. Goo manager will notify you of updates for now. It is 4.2.2 and gapps are not included. Soon we will have a post in development with all the details. Someone is supposed to be preparing an OP.

C'mon guys. If you don't like the default theme, that is ok. It is also a work in progress. (you always have the option of holo-blue). There are a couple themes available and more on the way.
The idea behind the rom is to make improvements to the stock apps, making them more appealing, and have more themeing flexibility. By integrating the miui theme engine into aosp, it makes building themes easier and less complicated than the theme chooser. The MMS app has already been modified so that it can be themed better.. Dialer and contacts are next. We are far from done!
We are just getting started and are hoping more ppl get on board to help. Thanks for giving it a try

So to clarify, the themes we use for this are the ones for MIUI only? CM10 themes dont work?

Miui themes will partially apply as all resources do not match, you will get imcomplete theming of framework and systemui. MMS will apply almost fully and icons fonts ringtones wallpapers will all apply. I ported a couple miui themes that are available on our forum or through the theme app.
theme chooser themes will not apply, but are "easy" to convert to .ctz. Contact your favorite theme dev and ask them to bring their themes to ChaOS.

Sounds like you didn't try it. It's only as ugly as the theme you apply. It uses a theme engine similar to MIUI which means you can mix and match themes (something not possible with the T-Mobile theme engine found in CM/AOKP and others). A handful of apps and feature have been added and more planned.
Android is about choices so you may want to choose something else and let others decide whether they want to use it or not.

CM10 themes will not work. We implemented our own theme engine modeled after MIUI's theme engine. We did this for a couple of reasons. First, it allows users to mix and match theme elements instead of being bound to just one theme. Second, creating themes using a format similar to MIUI is much easier than working with the T-Mobile theme engine.

It's built on android 4.2.2
Another thing to remember folks is that this is BETA and not release so any negative comments are premature.
