I woke up early this morning and decided to flash a new ROM before school just for the heck of it.. I wish I knew how to create my own themes and boot animations. that would make me so happy. ;D
So I guess the question is:
How do I create my own themes and boot animations?
Read up in the themes forum.

Hey its you again lol. Its tough work and requires time, good thing an online theme kitchen exist. Its neat and you should try it out and make your own themes. If you need further help with the theme kitchen there's a thread on xda floating around just google! This theme kitchen also supports the t-mobile theme engine!

Unfortunately honeycomb is an os which is made for tablets only, so it's hard to get it ported to an "normal" smartphone. But some of the developers have actually made it to get android 3.0 running on the HTC Desire.
I also wanted to have the honeycomb style on my phone so I downloaded a theme.
There are two ways to get this working:
1. You can install a launcher like ADW launcher and then search for a honeycomb theme.
2. Or you flash a themed custom rom like simply honey which also looks like honeycomb.
But the seconed way is far more risky so read everything three times before doing this! Because if you make an mistake you can brick your phone.
If you want I can post the links to the threads.

Ok can u post da links thanks

For the first solution just search for ADW launcher and the theme in the market ^^
Here is the link to a custom rom for the SGS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020720
But this is a rom which is especially made for the SGS so I don´t know if this would work with your phone!!
Please ask the dev if this would work!
Unfortunatelly I don´t know if there is a custom rom for your phone which is especially made for it...
I think that it would be better to download the ADW launcher witch the honeycomb theme
1st off I wanna say no disrespect to the devs...I appreciate all the hard work that goes into all the awesome roms...seems that with all the talk of jellybean and without an official ics release that THEMING has taking a back seat..although i am enjoying team rejects change of pace (annihilation is awesome!) And I love the look of miui but I can't get it to work good enough for me to use as my daily,with that being said I kinda long for the days of a DUSK theme or an all white with black letter theme like the GTX rom I had on my TP2 I think these would look sweet on my et4g...anyone willing to work on anything similar to these?

White with black lettering would be a battery killer!

Yeah..I thought about that after I posted this......just looking for a change of pace...liking the capabilities of what jellybean brings to the table but not the look..and I can see xda getting as flooded with variations of jb as it is with Ics...thanks for the reply though!
I remember those themes. That really takes me back. But it would be awesome to see the dusk theme on this badboy

I'm telling you guys, you can do it yourself, all you need is a good CM9 or CM7 base rom, find a theme you like for the theme Chooser in that rom, use a themeable launcher, Apex, ADW EX, or SSLauncher, this thread a **** ton of icon sets http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19600116
I use the free app ChargeBar (in play store) for a centered bottom status bar battery bar, I use Rom Toolbox to change system font, I use Android Pro Widgets for Twitter, Messaging, Bookmark, and Calendar Widgets...these have different themes and colors available for the Widgets....Here is a link to some of what I did with SsLauncher...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25394812

Also for dialer, I recommend Rocket Dial it has different themes, and you can find a theme for just about any 3rd party keyboard out there...I like ICS keyboard in the market

Not really any more than having Sense or something like that on your phone, its more of a kernel thing and we have some great evo specific kernel devs over here, you just have to find a pure AOSP rom without all the Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur overlays, then just add your own Widgets icons launcher dialer keyboard font over that and create your personalized interface the way you want it....

was gonna post this elsewhere, but here's as good as a place as any i suppose. for those that want to mess around with theming here's a great place to start. it's a vrtheme template for our phone. It should work with most roms. here's a link with some quick info and the download link with our updated binary. all thanks to the villianrom team for a great template/idea
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/about-villaintheme-system.4971/
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddi2vc7qeg2y44x
basically instead of having to decompile and recompile apk's and have a complete and working apk to flash, this only requires that you place the images, xml's etc in the correct folder structure. everything is in the vrtheme folder in the zip. so to theme a system app, say systemui, you would create a folder called SystemUI.apk in the correct folder structure, namely vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk. then all you have to do is drag and drop the images you want swapped into the proper folder locations. I included an example folder structure for images in drawable-hdpi for systemui and framework-res to get ya started. beauty of this is you can literally drag and drop whole sections of other themes into the template and it will just replace those images on our phone. So if those themes in the OP have same sized images and same names, you could just drag and drop those into the respective vrtheme zip folder and flash away. Make sense? just starting to get this going again on our phones, so mess around, but be careful, I'm obviously not responsible to anything you do
it can also be used to theme paid apps, which is sweet. since your not actually including the apk itself, and the app has to be in the location specified before you apply the theme.
Hi everyone,
So this is my first venture into theming and icon pack making. I have to give a big thanks to all the members on XDA who've posted theming guides, as well as to Pooley for his knowledge in icon making and also Team EOS cause without their themer try out event I probably still wouldn't be back into theming and developing.
So without further ado I present Inside Awesome. The pack is completely icon masked as of right now however by the end of the week I should have my pack fully themed for icon picker and the major apps.
Since its my first it is free on the play store and until I actually get really good most my packs will be free. I am always open to criticism and requests for certain apps to be fully skinned.

Thanks man I find they look 100times better themed instead of masked I'm running a basic themed set on my device right now and I'm hoping to finish off more apps tonight for a quick update.
Eclipse threw me for a loop when trying to hard skin icons giving me errors until I realized it had to be before the icon mask lol

I have updated the icon pack and changed the look just a slight bit changed base image to xhdpi instead of xxhdpi so it should mask your icons better manually skinned things like calendar, play store and so on.
So hit the link in the OP tell me what you think and if you have any icon specific requests let me know

Ive been looking for a Fallout pip-boy 3000 style theme for a while now. Its basically why I created this account. I was thinking vault boy app logos in a pip-boy style menu bar or something. There is one for jail broken iPhones but i have found nothing for rooted androids yet. Ill gladly pay 15 dollars if someone can develop a solid theme.
Unfortunately I dont have enough posts to post outside links yet, but if you google "fallout 3 iPhone theme" You can find pictures.
Thank you in advance.

Wow thanks. Another quick question though, do I have to run this through another app such as or similar to Go Launcher EX? Because i found two other themes but they both require me to run through some other app and the theme isnt changing the actually home screen of my phone, just the appearance of the application im using the theme through.
Ill give it a shot though, thank you.
