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....
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
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.
There are a couple things that I want to do but I can't seem to figure out, and I've searched the 1200+ pages in the Shooter ROM thread, and there's nothing about a how-to guide. Is there even something like this written for ROMs normally, or are we just kind of left to our own devices, as it were?
Thanks.

I don't have 10 posts yet. Most of the time, I get completely lost trying to find my own answers on here, and I usually end up giving up at some point.
I don't really need a how-to on ROMs in general, but every ROM, and every UI is different. Like, how do I change the icons on my lock screen on my Shooter 5.5 build ROM? Questions like that, how do I do this or that, not really a question of how do I install it, how do I wipe my cache, that I usually just follow the instructions for the ROM, but after the ROM is installed. Some ROMs have more settings/tweaks/features, and some have less.
Do you know what I mean?
Some of the themes might do it for you..

I need help with:
How do I change the 4 icons on the HTC lock screen?
Can I change where it says "Team-Nocturnal" at the top of my screen to something else?
Can I change the stupid ring unlock to a left-to-right slide, while keeping the animated sense htc weather background?
That's about it, thanks again if you know how to change any of this stuff.

4 icons- Click personalize, then choose the lockscreen you currently have, it should say apply and settings under it. Click settings and ir should have the 4 little icons and you can click one and re assign it with a different app.
Change lockscreen ring- go to settings>tweaks>miscellaneous and then find lockscreen style. It should have the one you're looking for.
As for the team nocturnal thing,, can't help ya there. Im sure MBQ can tho

Thanks, although it's annoying to have to reboot to change my lockscreen style. And it appears that the lockscreen style is tied to the weather animation as the "HTC Sense" style. I really like how fast the "android" one is with it's side slider, but there's no weather animation. These things are never 100% what I want, and it's really annoying.
Whenever I click personalize, it just goes back to the home screen. I've read that this is a ROM issue, but I've done 3 roms so far, warmtwopointtwo, shooter, and cm7, and all 3 of them have this behavior, is there an app I can get, or is there some tweak I need to do to get that to work?
Is there a touchwiz rom that is essentially stock but is unlocked so I can move my app drawer button and the number of rows and columns of icons? These are really the only things I want to change. Thanks in advanced community.
i remember for my gs2 there was a modded tw launcher that u could fully customize, even had themes.vit was called i believe "twiz launcher 4.5" I'm pretty sure it runs on our device. just do a forum search for tw 4.5 or similar to that and ull find it. it was very cool.

Hmm, if you can't find what your looking for, try apex launcher.

Search TweakWiz. Puts the app drawer in the middle and changes the grid layout to utilize more of the screen real estate.
Edit: I was feeling nice, so I searched for you, as I remembered it being linked in the Wicked ROM thread. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30471519
Just a side note about searching, for those who use the app, you can open any thread in the browser using the menu or tapping a post, and the search feature once in the browser view works great. You can search the thread itself, or "breadcrumbs" at the top of the page to go back and search a specific forum(like Q&A, Development etc). I know the app's search feature isn't very good, so just thought I'd share.

This screenshot was posted in "Post your GN2 Home screen" on page 43, post #424. What is the widget used for the clock on this one? I really like how it reads like "Fifteen minutes to Eight...." or whatever. Thanks!
*Edit*
Did not mean to post this here, meant to post it in Q&A - so if a MOD could move this for me. Sorry about that.

The original poster of that Home screen replied to my PM I had sent. It's 'One More Clock Widget' available via playstore. It's really nice as it has more than just that one theme, along with a decent amount of options to change the selected theme.
Hello guys I'm sorry I looked all through here but I didn't think any of the ones I saw in the app section were the kind I was looking for could someone point me in the right direction?
Also I can't seem to find the darthstalker ROM?
Sorry again for my n00bness.

I can't help with the messaging app, but all roms are in the dev sections.
gosms app is what I'm using till i find something better. It's 3rd party, but free & customizable if you've got the patience for a little trial & error. I'm still hoping to find a transparent stock mod soon myself, but i just started looking recently.

I'm not aware of any modded stock messaging app that is transparent (but there's a lot I don't know!), but could you help me understand what you'd want?
You say you want a "transparent background" messaging app. Is that one where, when it is open, you see the home screen underneath the text bubbles? Or just the wallpaper? Or would it see any previously opened app? I don't know enough about modding apks to do anything about it, but if you could clarify what you're looking for, it'd help give people more solid ideas on what to develop.
I will tell my team about the transparent background and I'll see what we can do . amiblindyet me and misty I will update you in the morning to see what we can do!!

So you want the background and bubbles to be transparent... I would assume that you want the background 100% transparent and the bubbles something like 70-80% transparent.
I'm ignorant on this, but I've heard that you can decompile an apk and replace the assets in /res folder. I'm not sure if it's possible with these items, but that would be the place to start.

And yes background 100% (in case I ever go back to a live wallpaper) & since I have a black area & white area on the wallpaper(both horizontal) maybe some holo blue for text so my text won't vanish when I scroll up & down. kinda like tvshow faves trans widget text color. Ive noticed that blue looks good w/my wallpaper. Bubbles maybe 90%. trans. I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Thank you for your time, consideration & efforts.
