I'm going to be undertaking the task of taking the default sprint theme placed on the Samsung Intercept and modding it to the original default white android theme found on most commonly Motorola Droids.
I originally had the idea of doing this since this phone seems to not be too common among the android community, and for people like myself who do not want to ROM or flash the mods to the phone it is near impossible to find any MetaMorph or NinjaMorph compatible mods for it. So I decided to take a step up and start on my own little project because I personally think the stock theme seems like a generic cheap theme, and I prefer the default android theme.
In the future if this mod is successful I may undertake one converting to the HTC android theme as well and possibly package it into a full MetaMorph once I gain experience.
Attached below are the images of what I plan to convert the theme too which is going to be starting with just the statusbar and notification and battery icons. First image is the stock intercept theme, the second is the original android theme I will be modding it to and the third is the stock HTC theme which will be coming later on.
I'm experiencing weird issues when trying to replace the status bar with the Droid one it refuses to replace the png, however the HTC statusbar replacement works perfectly using NinjaMorph. I'm going to try flashing the modified droid instead and see if that gets me somewhere
Why can't you just download a stock ROM and get the framework-res there?
Got the files I needed out of it and I'm getting ready to apply the files also working on getting a stock HTC ROM as well now thanks zHk3R
Edit: I just tried using NinjaMorph to replace the statusbar png with the droid one and it failed to change it even though it said it was successful but when I applied the HTC statusbar png it worked perfectly the first time strange
This projects basically dead. I hate this phone beyond what words can describe, the whole "customized" android ROM Samsung put on this phone makes me feel like I'm running a cheap rip off smartphone. There is no stock ROMs or un-customized ones to the point where they are all even more bloated than this pos stock ROM.Backing up this phone is impossible, metamorphs don't work on it and ninjamorph doesn't work properly on it. I wish I didn't have another few months left before my upgrade I can't wait to get rid of this thing. And to top it all off It is impossible to access recovery mode I've tried both my phone and my brothers intercept and both can not be booted into recovery mode unless I use an app while inside android. I'll be back on here when I can find a non piece of crap android phone from Sprint.

Check over at SDX-Developers There has been many changes for the Intercept that will make rethink the Intercept. There has been several ROMs built and many themes are being ported. I've been porting several and made a few.
I've been over there and tried the roms available and it was a disaster. The level of respect I got from members over there was terrible as well they were not willing to help at all and ignored several questions that were asked. It was just plain rude and I ultimately left that site behind after not being satisfied with the mods available and the people there.

sorry to hear that. I have never been disrespect there. But I do know that questions will not get answered right away if the questions you are asking have been answered already. It gets real annoying when no one reads just asks questions and complains. When 90% of the time the problem or question you have somebody already had it or asked about it. And as far as not being satisfied with the mods available there, then you're pretty much out of luck because that is where all the ROMs, Themes, and MODs are coming from for the Intercept. But for another place where the people are nice and helpful is ubuntdroid.com and there is great development for the Intercept there.
Yeah for sure it got too be extremely stressful and just not worth the time to continue to be on the forum over there. I'm going to be trying some metamorphs from around the forums here to see if they are working or not on it, It was just to the point where my questions that were not previously asked where being ignored in order for someone to bash a new person asking a question that was easily answerable by a search. Guess I'm just on a break for now on making progress with this phone.

Well I'm not sure if metamorphs are going to work on the intercept. But if all you're trying to do is theme then all you need to do is be deodexed and then you can make themes & just flash them. I've been porting and making themes for sometime on the intercept. I'll be releasing a port of the BUUF theme for the intercept tonight. After you get a hang of themeing it kinda turns into an addiction. It becomes easy but time consuming

I'm not sure I've got a backup done all I pretty much plan to do with the metamorphs is change out the statusbar and the icons up there with it, and possibly the app icons. I'm just taking a break from it since it's just caused me a ton of un-needed stress from the mess over at sdx. I'm going to try the metamorphs this weekend and see what the deal is with them.

Like I was saying to do that you don't have to metamorph. Just be deodexed then make the changes then flash the new themed template with the new changes. I know it would be nice to have metamorph working but unless youre a developer and plan switching a lot of stuff to get it to work I say more power to you and can't wait to see if you get it done
I'm not a developer so I won't be able to get it to work more than likely. Thanks for the advice and saving me the trouble of possible messing my phone up with metamorph, so for the deodexed template I just have to replace the images I want and flash it through inxane's recovery as I would a normal rom correct? Again appreciate the help man

Flash the deodexed stock template thru inxaxne recovery. This will keep everything stock but makes it so you can edit everything and not have fc's everywhere. Then flash the deodexed template you made with the changes you did. If you can't get. Just get yourself deodexed then pm with what you want changed then I could make the changes and set it up in a flashable zip. But try it first its not hard. But ALWAYS make backups just in case. And remember that if you can still boot your phone into recovery then you can still fix it

Alright sounds good I'll work on replacing the images and backing up everything on my phone then. I already made a theme to flash but I lost it on my laptop when I wiped it last night. I've got no problem with making the flashable theme so again thanks for the help.

Ok cool give it a try and let me know. Remember to make the png changes to the deodexed template and you don't have to unzip it just open archive with 7zip and drag the pngs you want to change, make sure they have the same file name. And if you need help just pm here or thru sdx. I check both often.

Bumping for status update - extremely interested in this project.
what kind of update are you looking for? if you want the htc sense theme for the intercept?.. this has already been done. and if you want the stock white just ask I could possible have that done for you. if you are familiar with sdx(im pretty sure i've seen there) then search there for intercept themes and you'll find the samsense theme port by wwsean08

By status update I meant where OP was on his project of bringing the stock white Android theme to the Intercept, which is what I've been looking for. I've attempted porting the files myself but had a few hangups. My main concerns is porting the Statusbar and notification area entirely, including its status icons (battery, connectivity, ect).
The re-visioned theme Samsung/Sprint put on the Intercept just looks so... cheap. The lockscreen, for example, was the cheapest looking excuse for a lockscreen I've seen since Windows NT. Replacing *that*, however, was easy thanks to SDX.
And yeah, I go to SDX :3 Between XDA and SDX, it's Android heaven.
Apologies for the lack of updates I haven't gotten a chance to start working on the theme I've been pretty busy lately I just need to figure out how to change the date and time text in the statusbar to black since it will show up as invisible if I were to use the original android statusbar so I can't move forward until I figure that part out.

I couldn't agree more with you on that the stock theme on this phone looks even cheaper than some of the non-smartphones I've seen around which isn't saying much, the lock screen is why I use the pattern lock I just liked the pattern to begin with so it worked out good. Hopefully this theme works since it's the only reason I tried to flash ubuntdroids rom in the first place
so this was posted today over on the miui forums and it looks to be pretty cool. its supposedly designed for SGS2, but he says it should work for all phones. but i asked how to apply it, and the guy just said ''recovery''. in the OP, he edited it to say "you must mount system, data and sdcard before you flash it". i still have NO idea what it means, and he didnt clarify after i asked... so i wanted to know if my XDA family can help me out? how would i do this?
http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showt...-wallpapers-themes-amp-more&p=78555#post78555
just flash it in recovery and see what happens?
sounds like he is pretty sure it will give an error, side note it looks like a lot of bloat to me>
ya but you can go right into the files and edit what you dont want. i too am afraid of the warning. and i just had to wipe my phone last night because of stupid apps2sd epic failure... for the second time... i dont feel like doing that AGAIN. ill probably do THAT in a couple days LOL. unless, of course, i get some help here...
screw it, I'll try .... nothing to lose + I'm at work and would rather get paid to play with my phone than actually work
my down load speeds suck here so will try when able

i do not see any changes, no apps, no keyboards, or widgets. not to say i know anything, all i did was flash it in RA recovery and it installed. oh well my great experiment is over for now.
my findings are that will install, but what and to where??

well i tried again and in RA you mount "system" "data" and "SD card"
then flash the ZIP
i now have a LG keyboard.
23 new wallpapers
the themes are in theme manager
the puzzle lock screen works
and a bunch of ring tones
i see no widgets:
-LG calender
-LG news
-LG clocks (A - L-O-T) -
-LG weather clock
-LG world clock
-LG Today schedule
-LG Today schedule + Weather
-TypoCLock
OK I do believe this to be kinda cool..this will only work on MIUI 1.7.29 from what the op says
So then, it's basically useless, since 1,8,5 comes out today, which will have a whole new framework
I dont know, just fun to kill time with.
Maybe nothing below 1.7.29 We all know bigger is better

Hey guys. I just flashed to the latest UnNamed ROM and I was wondering if there were any themes out there that are compatible with it. I really hate the default android green color.

Venum,
I have your minimal theme for the unnamed, mostly black and white, and loving it.
Thanks, some fine work.

green to blue
All I really want is to change the green system color to blue (or purple or pink lol). I hate that android green color. Would be nice to have a transparent notification dropdown too.
I love the icons in the power button menu and in the settings and that is my problem. Most themes are like super themes that change everything. I really just want to change the green stuff like the download bar, highlights in the extended notification...and so on.
Maybe this can be a challenge for someone. LOL I will keep hoping.

If anyone has an update on some cool themes for the UnNamed Rom for the Epic 4g Touch please let me know, I've tried a couple but I want to change it up a bit more with different themes, though I haven't really seen many themes, around two.
Love this rom....and I don't want to ditch it for for some other rom bc of the lack of themes

Apparently, most of the current themes out there work on UnNamed.

You will loose most of the UnNamed custom edits if you flash any of the themes out there. None of them are made especially for UnNamed. Check the UnNamed Goodies thread in themes and apps for a few things you may like.
Like playya said... I have found that most of all the themes work. Sometimes causing modificaions of the rom itself... I WAS using Unnamed with a combination of the ICS theme made for Blazer and some add on made for another rom.. All worked fine. But i got tired of all the "blue" color, so i flashed back to regular unnamed with rogue " gunslinger "... Nice colors.. Great batt life and 5000+ quadrent score @1400-200 LAZY...

alright thank you for the replies!!
Eh, still kinda confused. I went to the themes section in the E4GT section. I see themes, but a lot of them say they work only on some specific roms. Should I still try them and see if they work? I'm worried about messing up my phone. :/
Okay, so I just themed my phone. Once it restarted, it said I had an update...so I restarted it like it told me to do. But the little android guy with the triangle and ! mark in the triangle came up....
what gives?
please help if no one is too busy :/

You are on a custom ROM, and Sprint was unable to update your phone because of that. Not that you want to update the stock ROM considering you installed a custom ROM in the 1st place...

Honestly every theme out there will work as long as it's not for a source the too different from yours (eg. EK02 rom using and EL29 theme). The worst that can happen with some themes, especially with UnNamed's rom, is that you'll lose certain functionalities. For instance, using suwu10's red or blue themes will cause you to lose the scrolling toggles in the drop down notification bar.
Other than that everything will be pretty much the same. Keep in mind that it will replace your rom's apk's with the themed apk's from whatever rom that theme was built for. So if you like say, the mms app from UnNamed, you'll want to delete it out of the theme's .zip before flashing.
Came acrossed this on the android app thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685484
Just download link, push the home and weather apk to system/app set permissions and its good to go.
Runs real good on this phone. I am running the is on the Touch of GS3 rom had to make some room (deleted voice apk etc...)
In case not obvious this isn't my work and anything to do with me all credit goes to the link above.

Damn, LG's UI is so identical to Samsung's Touchwiz, I'm surprised they're not suing each other with all this patents nonsense flying around. That lock screen though is definitely dope. Wish Samsung adds more eye candy to their skin overlay or maybe just leave the original ICS look alone.

The great thing about Android is ability to customize. Why leave out the bootanimation?
For someone that is always flashing different roms/updates it is nice to see animation you choose to see. Just another part of the whole theme experience. Personally, I hate the stock animation because there are ones that are so much better and it is so easy to change them.
We all have our likes and dislikes. I flash Roms a lot + power cycle my phone daily. I like seeing different boot animations.

everybody wants to control and be independent. so why not experience that with urban phone even with something that people think meaningless like bootanimation. is that not why ur using a android phone not that out of the box thats what u get deal with it look from apple. just saying android gives us the customization and personalization no other OS would give us!

What's a boot animation?
Just kidding.
Its just another customization available to some ableAndroid users. I changed mine a few times (as a see if I could do it...) I also don't reboot often unless Im flashing a lot, so I never see if often either but when I do, it makes a smile.

All kidding aside..............
as has been said several times, the ability to customize and make it different.
It's kind of like having a chrome differential cover on a low rider.
Very few people will ever see it, but it is special to the owner because he knows he has it.
one thing to remember... these phones are basically computers and should have a soft reset done every now and then to amke sure that memory has been released back to the system. I usually turn off my phone and pull the battery for 30 seconds once a week. you should also be rebooting your PC about once a week or after running a lot of programs as RAM is volatile memory and anything left in RAM is removed during a reboot.
I have to agree with you on this... Could Care less what the phone did at boot up.. Lol. The faster the better. Some really like though, it's an option, so why not use it if you like it.

It's just one more thing that people love to customize. For those who do have to reboot their phone often, it's nice to have something you actually want to look at. (Some stock boot animations are rather annoying to watch over and over, lol) Personally, I like to have one that is mostly dark so I don't feel like it's wasting precious battery juice on unnessesary bright colors! lo
