Hey guys, I just got an S3. I'm coming from E4GT. I usually use Calkulins roms because I like the simplicity of them as well as the debloating.
I'm looking for a similar experience here on the S3 hopefully with an overall black theme.
Thanks fellas.

Welocme!
Well you can't go wrong really with anything here!! However, MOAR v6.1 allows you to make lots of changes to the look and feel of your phone many without having to reboot it. There is also an app in Google Play I recently saw XDA tweet about called Themer (I've installed it but haven't played around with it yet, I must admit)
There are some themes in the App/Theme section for a couple ROMs as well.
I'm sure you've heard it before, try a bunch and see which suites you best (don't forget to thank the awesome dev)
Thank you so much for the help. It's always great to get pointed in a direction to start with. This is why XDA is a true online community.

Carbon is freaking awesome and smooth. There is an option in Settings called Dark Carbon which themes everything to a dark/black theme. Also check out a theme in Play store called PitchBlack by a dev named itasoulas , very nice theme. As a side note, pretty much any ROM can be debloated using a program like WinRAR or 7zip on your computer if you know which system apps are safe to remove, or they can be removed post-flash using Titanium Backup.

Now that I have Frozen 1.2 up and running, are there any themes that I can try out?
So far I have seen "The Joker" and "Heinz57". I am currently running "Emotionless Beast" with a few modifications to the fonts for my week eyesight. Is there a site that I can go to and check out others. Didnt find too much listed on youtube, and in my searches here on XDA I didnt turn up much more.
Look in this section. When there is a [Theme] in the title, that is all themes. Click on them and it will tell you if it's compatible with 1.2 or not. Most of the recent ones are.
Thanks Your video walked me thru installing my first theme yesterday. Made things a whole lot easier for me than trying to figure it out by trial and error.

Lol, too true.
BTW, lcovel, QB has got a slick vanilla stock Android theme in the theme forums. It's pretty sweet.
Gotta check out MattedReds in this section if you like a dark theme tastefully highlighted with red in all the right places. I'm running it and could post a quick screenshot if you want.

MOD PLEASE CLOSE THREAD.. I am not in the mood for bs drama....
Whisper is now in Beta release... v1 has been posted along with new screen shots!
So i just picked up my GS2, and decided to start a theme for Juggernaut... Looking around i really only found ports of other themes, so i thought why not start something new... So, Whisper was born...
What to expect is a nice clean theme... With the general understanding i do not create themes that have your normal look... I like to be different, so this will probably only meet the wants of those with the same sort of outside the box thinking...
I am going to start work on a less lavish... More mainstream theme as it seems thats what most want... I know my themes are very one off... And not for everyone...
Whats been done you ask?
- Accurate battery mod now fully pushed (% showing on a battery rather then romanns tweak)
- Edits made to download/volume bar xmls to blue
- Edits to lock-screen appearance...
- Massive edits to framework and systemui... MUCH more to come as i clean the theme up...
- New menu's all around...
More... Just, not on the tip of my tongue at the moment...
On and on... But really its a good basic start to things... Hence beta v1... Its much more pulled together then Whisper Alpha release
On the block to be done...[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]
- Continue to touch all framework and systemui images/xmls
- Phone, contacts, mms, widgets... Themes...
Ooooodles of good stuff...
How to get her done...
- Download Whisper Beta v1
- Boot into CWR
- Nandroid
- Flash Whisper
- Reboot
I have also provided the image thats shown on my wallpapar... You need to play with things a little to get it lined up correctly, but as you can see it works out well...
I dunno, thats it really... More to come in the next week... Lots more i hope... PLEASE feel free to provide feedback...[/CENTER]

When you go to wallpaper and select the image... crop it down and to the left... I will add it to the framework next release... and or give poeple a black status bar so they can have any wallpaper without having it look off with the current status bar

You know its always nice to see a new themer come to the forum. You kinda bashed Qasizia for doing ports and said you didnt have much to say. Well i have some things to say about your theme. Try something original instead of using uot. And your icons for your lockscreen were originally done by me. They have been around for awhile in all different colors but i did the original. So before you go claiming to be all original check your facts. But with that being said I have no hard feelings and if I can help in any way let me know.

Bashing him would have been his theme sucked... I never said that... I simply didn't have much to say about it as my themes tend to be one off and outlandish... Thats my personal preference ... I also said it was nice to see him post his own theme ... I wouldn't have said it if it wasnt true...
Nothing in my theme came. from uot.. I compile all my work by hand... everything other then the charging xml that I have had since I was a noob... and only use as a base to compile before i rewrite it for ultra smooth animations... was done by me... Not sure where you get anything uot in my theme... but I can promise you uot had nothing to do with my work... not to mention uot can't do what I did with my coloring or images... but you can go with that... be my guest...
Lets me finish by stating I went so far as to pm the hulk theme dev and offer assistance with anything he needed... I was very nice about it...

I find myself stumbling upon themes that I like and testing them out. Most themes are simple and consist of 100 uccw. But yours is pulling together a series of apps and widgets together to make a whole new overlay. I'm impressed and will continue to use this until I get frustrated with it

i have no idea what that is, but you would probably need permission from the dev to use the theme...

no problem. even still you would need the devs permission to use his work. plus i believe it's available for certain launchers in the play store.
Have you seen this yet?
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-home-launcher-now-native-for-all-ics-devices.16356/
Download the MiHome apk, and it essentially gives you the look and feel of MIUI w/o having to install a ROM. I have messed around with it already.. pretty slick :good:
So Ive been trying to get as close to a fully blacked out theme as possible and I think Ive finally gathered a nice setup put together from several sources(majority from jet black theme by Rixsta). Theres a few minor accents that still need to be themed and I'll work on those soon. as always make sure you have a backup just in case.
Screenshots Here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bq1j0qo52y8jfj7/UXvb7_heS3
First flash this to get these apps blacked out: Phone, MyFiles, Mms, Contacts, Calendar, Calculator
http://db.tt/wL7yPBui
Then Flash this for the main theme:
http://db.tt/JrJrcOt3
For all other apps, Download Team Blackouts App in the playstore. Awesome work by them. There's also themed Google keyboards, and the onyx one looks great with this as well.
Themed Phone doesnt have call recording enabled BUT you can enable it by flashing the following options without messing up the theme:
Recording added to call menu
http://db.tt/AqiAIQNy
White Call menu button that I themed to match.
http://db.tt/z3oPu4GQ
Red Call recording button added
http://db.tt/am3vVN8g
White Call Recording button that I themed to match.

Thanks goes to jrkruse fo his work on these. His original post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344674
tip: you might have to press the call recording button several times to get it working at first.
These mods include his volume boosting tweaks which over ride the ones in your system so you can flash these to go back to stock volumes, or go back to the tweaked out version provided in wicked 5.1 by default.

OP fixed. Download and reflash the first apps package. Fixed the calendar and added a script to remove the old "garbage"
also in the second zip I added the clock package, samsung keyboard, and multiwindow apps to be themed as well.
Worked like a charm! I have a question though. Any way to theme the calendar widget like the app? Everything else is beautiful, just perfect for what I want.

So I decompiled the SPlannerAppWidget_NAmerica.apk file and made some color changes but Im getting recompiling errors. Ive seen someone sucessfully make a different version of this... I'll see if maybe hes willing to make a "blacked out" version as well.
