[Q] simple beautiful theme please

hi guys, can anyone one of you pls post a simple yet attractive theme which conserves the least amount of battery & looks pretty good ???
i desperately want it.
because, default theme with Touchwiz looks too bright & shiny... kind of glaring to my eyes. i think that can also consume lot of battery..
i prefer dark background with white letters & fonts would be best...
i hope someone here can help me.
i saw one user posting his desktop in post your desktop thread. but he has never told us the steps he used to get that theme.
i request him to pls share his settings her, as we know what kind of softwares he has used to get that effect....
help us to feel better guys...

Is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
I assume you would need to have rooted first?
I can't seem to find anything here that deals with that...

That wont help him ..
If I was you Id flash the Lite'ning Rom (link below)
Great rom and it gives you the theme with the rom ..
From there you can flash any KE7 theme from the forums ..
There are usually instructions on how to do it ...
You need a deodexed rom to flash themes ..
Here's a few good starting points ...this will also give you root..

We all had to start somewhere ..If he needs help or more info then he only has to ask ..
Some of us on XDA work together as a community...
The help and advice if there if he wants it ...if not then that's fine..
The point of your post is ? ...

I agree we where all newbies at one time, even i am just getting to grips with it.
All the help you need is on this forum, dont be afraid to ask.

Re:
Sorry didnt see that you have seen the post your desktop thread, but the answer to your questions are within that thread itself.
Most of the posters have mentioned the software they have used (Launchers, widgetlocker, icon packs, backgrounds) etc. I agree its a pain to navigate through the pages looking for this kind of info but hey its wortht the effort! I am a newbie to Android too and the post your desktop thread has taught me so much, most of the software listed there is free and on the Android market too.
Personally I am using Simi clock, battery and weather widgets along with the 'Beautiful widgets'. Try these for a start.

I was hoping I could change a theme, ie the look of the icons, the fonts etc without having to flash a ROM....I have flashed ROM's before but I always found the phone to become a bit unstable afterwards. (This was on the SE X1 so perhaps it was the crappy phone rather than the ROM!!)
I can't see anywhere how to change the global icons or the global font's and things.
I was hoping you could just install/uninstall a theme...but it doesn't look like you can do such a thing.
I have Widget Locker and Launcher Pro but none of those seem to allow a total global theme...
Will Go Launcher EX enable me to do all that?

[REQ]/[PORT] MIUI Themes/Lockscreens/Theme Manager

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.

It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen
Works on my i9100 with MIUI 1.7.1 test31

No worries. This is a bit OT for this thread, sorry. But can you tell me short about the rom? Like are the battery times good? And can you chose danish language in the rom as well? Are the shortcuts in the lockscreens configurable?
Thank you

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here

Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.

[THEME REQUEST] Honey HD port?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!

Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2

It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.

Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.

Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.

That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.

Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,

[DIALER]{Multy DPI}[deodexed/odexed]{ICS room}[base on stock room](REQ)

I will like first than any other thing to apologize if you are reading this and you thought finaly a multi DPI stock dialer aviable, sorry i dont have it. I needed a title to guet some readers to see it. Second for my really bad speling.
This post has been created whit one goal:
¡¡¡¡¡MULTI DPI STOCK SAMSUNG DIALER!!!!!
I have scouted xda forums for weeks (months now) to guet one, but this mod just... DOES NOT EXIST.
I have seen this request on replies, new threats, but no one single developer has responded to this call.
If YOU reader support this threat, i will sent a pm to your inbox once i guet one.
Now I will place here what WE are asking for:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
Yes we know there is an stock ics dialer and contacts, some android market apps whit multi dpi aviable free or paid, but we dont want that.
Well that is the reason of this post, but I have seen what people belive, is the PERFECT dialer:
1. Multi DPI samsung stock dialer
2. AutoRotate disiable
3. Full screem picture
4. ICS compatible
5. Record call aviable
And going a little bit more... demanding. If a developer decides to guet on this heroe path, on the SAMSUNG STOCK contacts app, the ability to unite more than five accounts to one contact.
Hopefully a great xda dev will become the heroe and provide the apk that many are looking.

I am so with you on this one, for months now I am looking for it, so do wish that one of the Devs will look into this for us all.
Come on guys PLEASE !!!!!!!!

Pls i need the Multi DPI Dialer for my VK Rom cause my phones Dpi is 182 but the integrated Dialer is to small and the number where cut
pls help

im waiting too +1

People you can try dialer from market, are many of them, like exdialer.

It doesn't work well for example in a call if you want to switch to your keypad it will switch to original Phone.apk, plus it looks ugly, we want true multi dpi!!!

[REQUEST] MIUI Power Control Widget

I was wondering if someone could port the MIUI Power Control Widget to AOSP or Stock Samsung Roms.
I think it looks really good. It has got the same function as the AOSP toggles but if you click the 3 dots, a bigger menu opens (see screens attached).
Thanks in advance!

Don't shoot me for asking again, but does anybody know of this or of some kind of alternative that looks this clean?

I've been asking this for a while in different forums but it seem to fall on deaf ears. I would like to see it replace the stock power control widget that you seem to get in all roms as the miui one look soo much nicer.

use mihome app from market, its only working with miui launcher
here is the link
this app is already included in my ROM
check the signature

thanks mate but all I would like is the some help on how to extract the widget from mihome launcher app and add it to miui roms as I use the full Miui v5 for my phones. thanks anyway
but if you know what and how I am very willing to learn. :fingers-crossed:

Ya know, i have never even seen that get brought up before. It is a beautiful widget and would be great if someone can port it. Im not too sure if it is possible though because it may require the miui framework which has quite a few changes from aosp. If your interested, I have a section in my thread (link in sig) that has all (at least to my knowledge) MIUI ports to date.

hey thanks mate will have a read I'm currently using miui v5 from HERE
it's the unofficial miui v5 so as far as my thick skull knows with it's less than average knowledge of these things it should be compatible/work.
would I be right in thinking that getting the right xml files and graphics from the mihome launcher app and putting them into the rom somewhere e.g. framework-res.apk, frameworkmiui-res.apk or miuihome.apk should add the widget to the rom? or am I way off?
