Has anyone been able to theme the XDA Premium app? It would be nice to have it darkened or blued or even semi transparent.
"Hell I don't know"
I THINK in the Android Games and Apps section there was a themed free version but it was an older build.
Problem you're going to run into with the premium is that with it being a paid app people can't really post up a custom version.
Maybe one of the fine themers here can hook that up for you though by PM or something.
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

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.
I just have a silly question. Many of the roms have different launchers in place of rosie, or using the aroma installer they give you an option. Usually Nova or Apex, and many people still talk about launcher pro. I use Go Launcher and have for a while now. I have tried those others and several of them only offer some options in a paid version, while Go has it all for free. My question is why does everyone seem to neglect Go Launcher when building roms? No biggie, I'm just curious.

I guess I have never really noticed. It seems pretty fast to me. I set the scroll speed higher and it seems to fling right along. And features like hiding app labels, and missed call and sms notification (with a separate add on app) as well as others are all free. Just a preference thing, so its cool. I'm not down on the others or anything.

Agreed, the launcher itself is alright, but it is really bloated and needs lots of other apps to work well. It isn't that noticeably slow, but bad enough that I prefer Apex because of it.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
The biggest problem with Go Launcher is that it has so much involved that it makes the phone slower thus making it feel "heavy". When developers create a ROM with a launcher the launcher needs to be light to begin with. It may still have great options that are important to most without extra frilly stuff as go offers.

Not sure what you are referring to with that comment, I don't get any of that. I don't see Go as complicated. Some of the things actually seem easier to me. I like the sms and missed call notifications, even though you do have to install the add on. But other launchers only include this on paid versions. Honestly I'm fine with that. I don't mind someone making money. Would just like to see it as an option for the default launcher in some of the roms using aroma now. But I may be the only one and by no means expect any of our devs to do that for just me.

Why do otter penis sizes keep cumming up?
Yeah, I've found that Go________ has way too much ____________. It feels heavy to me. I want a launcher to be simple, and it seems that all Go stuff is anything but that. Having said, Go to it with your Go. If you like Go, then Go for it!

Not sure if serious...?
Can't resize widgets, can't change grid size, no scrollable dock, etc.
The modded touchwiz launcher is OK with increased grid sizes, but still too limited. I use Go Launcher. They update it like every Friday, good support, lots of themes, animations, etc.

go launcher seemed to always add battery drain when i used it. i've tried going back multiple times and each time i'd get bad battery life which would go away after uninstalling. it also started slowing down my droid charge, each update added something that caused my charge to be slow as heck (it's only got 512MB of RAM).
it's got some nice features and add ons however.

Used to be hardcore Apex up until I couldn't use it on my GS3 with Paranoid Android. Been using Nova ever since. I'm a big fan of stock Android so TW just doesn't do it for me. I can't wait til we get an AOSP from, hopefully with Nova or Trebuchet built in.

The s pen integration. Like how s note opens when I pull it out. You can also do the search with it. I love the profiles, like when I plug in headphones it goes to a Page set up for music.
The customization Of apex isn't worth giving up the features.

Can someone run though the features they like in tw? The bits I like about the note interface such as taking a screenshot awaiting your palm across the screen still work in Nova. On the other hand especially on the phone with a lot of storage things like the Nova Launcher ability to use folders in the app drawer to organize applications so you don't have to scroll through hundreds of them are really nice. Same with the gestures for control which really cut down on the poking and pecking when it comes to trying to get stuff started quickly. I used TW for a few days and just found it pretty pretty plain Jane with no extra features
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.

Ill give it a shot though, thank you.
