[THEME] Stevekixs Theme

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.

Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.

Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.

Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.

I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

Kitchen is real easy. Im trying to figure out how to mod the widgets and other apks to match the theme.

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

Do you know how I'd modify the bar above the notifications with the wifi etc? It looks kinda ugly because everything else is black lol.

Themes Don't Change Every Icon

I have been trying out different themes for my phone, but what I came to notice is that not all of the icons match the theme and stay stock, and it looks stupid. Is there any way around this?

usually theme creators only theme the most common apps

Guess you gotta stick with the themes that don't mod the icons then

I'm talking about themes downloaded from the market for ADW.Launcher on CM7.2 RC3.

Your not going to find an adw theme that changes all apps. What you can do is if there is a popular app that is not themed, you can always contact the dev and ask nicely that it be put into the next update. I think a lot of devs just hit the basics and post to market quickly to make a few bucks. But some of the better ones will actually take the time to listen to their customers and incorporate requests.

What about some of the lettered icon packs?(Icon pack A,B,C, etc.) I've noticed there are a few if them, so maybe try those and see if they have what you're looking for.
A couple of devs have even posted numerous packs of 50-100 icons each....they are paid, but they should cover just about everything.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

Also some themes don't have direct replacment icons, rather, they have a lot of generic icons. For instance, if you use a 3rd party twitter app, you can use the stock Twitter icon.

Should I Port These Themes?

If you guys don't mind, have a look at the themes in my sig. I've been considering porting (or re-create, rather) them, since I got my MT4G but I didn't like the device enough to bother. My favorite has been the LBP theme since I had so much fun making the icons. I'll likely create an icon pack for Nova/Apex for the icons but I was considering something cool for the toogles and such too.
If there's any interest, I'll recreate these for the GS3.

Sure sounds good

Yep. I been using Android since way back then lol. I'd be creating all the images from scratch, of course. No sense trying to port such low-res junk to the GS3.

I did not see any of the themes in your sig but after doing some searching I found them and I have to say that the LBP one you did looked sweet man. I know I would be happy to see them. Thank you for the heads up. :good:

Sorry about that. I took them out of my signature about a week ago. I'm getting myself up to speed with the Theme Engine (as my old ones were flashable .ZIPs). In the mean time I'm working on icons. I'd like to release something for the various launchers (Go Launcher, Apex, Nova, etc) along with Theme Engine.

Thank you for the update. Will keep checking back!:thumbup:

No longer hosting my work on XDA.

Sweet man.

Nice.

Looks great so far! Maybe I'll actually want to switch back to TW after you complete this, haha.

That's what I was thinking. If the aosp look can be replicated, it'd be awesome. Touch wiz features with aosp eye candy. :what:

Throw some of the aosp grey in there. It's more than just black backgrounds.

Working on the Gradient background inside apps now. The Touchwiz black has got to go.

At first, no. But I will make it compatible if demand is high enough. I'm using stock as a base.
EDIT: Making progress. If anyone has an AOSP dialer that's already available on MD4, please let me know if I can include it. It'd help speed up completion of this theme.

Hopefully you can make this for MOAR Rom.

Page 2 already, 2 requests! I'm having issues decompiling the stock settings. The M.O.A.R rom will probably be easier to tamper with, since it has a large amount of customization. I'll speak with Rompnit about including this in the newest Morphology. It's definitely best to change my base now rather than later.

Add another for MOAR on the list, would love this!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Love the theme so far. All it needs is AOSP pulldown and the dialer/contacts from the Shifter182 theme are very AOSP like maybe PM the dev on that to use them in yours
In suggest flashing Shiftr182 theme then flashing this on top of it to get a very close to AOSP look. You keep the contacts and dialer this way

The theme looks awesome, put me down on the list for compatibility with MOAR
Also would you possibly consider making a version with the circle battery?
Sent from my SPH-L710

Umm , you guys know you can make a complete aosp theme for moar using morphology? Just create your own theme and choose ICS blue for almost everything. Includes dialer and pulldown, status bar, batteries, signals, messaging, framework, and toggles...

This theme is different because it's aiming for the pure ICS look. The morphology one, while awesome, doesn't have a true aosp look like this one's aiming for.

no idea what you are talking about, you can make it look exactly like aosp. themed. i have put together complete aosp themes for people using morphology. some apps like calculator and camera, etc. won't get themed, but all framework, systemui, phone, contacts, and messaging will all be themed aosp. just have to know what to pick when running create a custom theme. but you can wait for this theme to come out, i was just trying to help out. personally i hate aosp themes...

[Bounty] $Fallout 3 Style Theme$

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.
