Hi,
I know the thread's title isn't really good, but I didn't have any better idea...
I'm discovering Sense 3.5 roms, and I think these are really pretty. The only limit is that when you scroll up or down, once the border is reached, you have the blue "cascade" of Gingerbread which appears. When I install .sense with the transparent statusbar it is white, and it is much better.
I'm trying to mod .sense to have this white color without the transparent statusbar. But my problem is that I never themed Android before, and I'm lost... I compared both SystemUI.apk, but there are so much differences so that I don't know what I need to change
Thanks;

Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.
To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.
hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.
Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.
yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....
I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.
how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks
if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.
I'm currently running SkyRaider's 3.1 Sense rom on my Incredible but im having issues with random reboots, etc. I tired Virtuous 2.7 rom and its ridiculously smooth. The only thing that really bugs me about that rom is the notification bar. I hate the stock one now that ive gotten so used to the transparency. I used the Incredible Revolution theme and the notification bar was fine but i wasnt really feeling the whole red colored theme. If someone can help me out with making a zip file for a transparent notification bar like the one in SkyRaiders rom i will definitely consider buying you a beer. =P haha

im talking aboout the pull down menu that has the notifications. ive only found one with a 50% shade.
I'm also searching for this.
I would also like an easy way to modify the transparency on the notifications pull down. I haven't found an easy way yet (other than begging a dev to do it )
There is a post somewhere with a flashable file for this
what roms are you guys running? i figured out how to do it.
skyraider 3.3.2 - have you figured out how to change the color yet?
please tell how to do transparent! the only flashable zip of it i could find only works with the stock sense launcher and still didnt work too well
I have an idea for the powers to be here that make themes...
A black theme, with colored icons (like cm7 colorized), transparent apps like fb, gmail as addons. Preloaded with the nokia fontpack (i posted it a while back search down a bit its there), a variation of grays and darkness, transparent pulldown taskbar, a slighly less colorful version of symbian icons (adw has a symbian theme for its launcher).
Basically a hybrid version of an all black/gray theme with some mild colorization such as in the settings menus etc. What about when you select a menu item it flashes like a pulse real quick when selected? For those that like other fonts the theme should not have preset fonts that are not flashable (meaning if its in arial and i flash the nokia font everything should show up in the nokia font and i shouldnt see arial anywhere)
I know im asking a lot, but im thinking community wide here throwing ideas out to the geniuses here that do have the talent to make such a theme, as i am a tard when it comes to cooking this stuff up.
Not to knock the themes that are here because just because i dont like them does not mean they suck. I totally respect the theme makers for their quality of work, but to me the only one i have liked so far is the matted blues one and the cm7 colorized to a degree. I like the black ones but they are too boring and need some life in them. (Again, my opinion not knocking it) and the monotone black/single color i feel the same way as well.
Anyways, if anyone wants to add to my ideas that flow along with it nicely please feel free.

You could prob make this yourself... go to the main android theme threads and look for the ultimate online theme engine.. gives you a great amount of options.. could use to change noticiation bar on top of a theme you use an a base.. then use theme injector to change over other pngs from other themes you like..

i guess i could play huh lol. not too good at it but ill give it a shot.
Ok.. ive searched and bought like 2 themes... and still nothing is what i want!
i tried Black infinitum and Holo white... They do give me white icons yes... the theme "Black Infinitum" is the closest ive managed to find
what i want is: 100% original ICS icons in white... not some ugly % battery or another battery!(no offence..) but 100% stock, but in white..
so what im asking is...
Anyone know a theme wich is black/white instead of black/blue? i want it to be 100% the same icons, but in white..
SOLVED
Go for Photoshop & make them as you like & then : show & share!
don't u think ive allready tried that ? i am not that good at photoshop.. but i know the stuff that i need! but some of the pics are wierd.. so not easy ive seen the pack somewhere.. i know it! but im on CM9 so dunno.
Are you talking about the framework stat_sys icons?
If yes, I'll sort some out for you later tonight when I've finished up a couple of things.
Or
I can teach you how to use Photoshop to get your desired look.

i want this theme but with a white version of the stock ICS battery
he is using the stock icons in white, but the battery isn't stock... its a meter of some sort.. and i don't want that
instead of blue/black i want white/black...
hope u understood this
So you dont want white "stat_sys" icons you only want white "stat_sys_battery_" icons from the sdk 15?

well kinda i just want the stock ICS icons... but only in white and not blue if its possible to make a flashable zip it would be awesome, or if u could edit the black infinitum theme and PM me it because its donate.. so i guess sharing it here would be.. illegal (i got the donate version)
Thats what i said originally, you want the the stock framework icons from sdk 15(ICS) in white not blue.

i head UOT was bad:/ ppl were complaining about its quality.. or is this not true?
UOT is the most complete self help theming tool around.
People who complain are either idiots and cannot use it
or
Moaning bastards
Try it and decide for yourself.

EDIT: this is not correct, it worked.. but it gives me the wrong battery icon :/ i want stock ICS icon, not sense icon :/
You wont find stock ics battery icons in white.
There are too many incompatabilities when overlaying the icons with white, you would need to recreate them individually.
Just use the sense icons and rotate them 90' clock wise

Hi,
I am looking for a hint how to change the color of the bar icons in my CM7.2? The icons for WLAN, Battery and that stuff comes in a disgusting turquois style, I hate that. I would like to have the green color back like in the old version! How to do?
BTW: I use Launcher PRO, and not the AWD launcher. I tried it with AWD launcher and themes, but this only affects the "front", but not the system in the main bar on top of the screen. So I do NOT want to check themes or something, I am satisfied with it like it is, except color.
Thanks! ;-)
In app draver should be theme chooser, select system there.

Did you read my posting!?
I do NOT (!!!!!) want another theme!
I am satisfied with this one, the standard from installing.
I just want to change the main color of the CM System, (used in the battery icon, the WLAN-Icon and other stuff, right on the right top of the phone for example) from turquois to the green and old one.
You can certainly change the colour by editing framework stuff. But I would like to inform you that it is not easy but not impossible.
You will need to use adb and stuff. Sorry I don't remember the exact details/step.
Plus be warned if done incorrectly it can semi-brick your phone. I will insist its better to look for other CM7 themes for theme chooser. The are hundreds of them.

You dont have to install another theme, it should be in the themechooser already named System, but CM7 defaults to their own Cyanbread theme.
You could use UOT kitchen too.

Just kidding. Variety is the spice of life. Hopefully one of these guys will be able to show you an easy way to accomplish this.
