[Q] Boot animations and themes

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.

Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.
Thanks

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.

[RQ]Nice looking ROMs / No bloatware

Hi guys,
I am confused with all those fancy looking ROMs.
You are good in coding, building, cooking but still not sure about themeing...
I have an idea and I wish to ask you to try to make ROMs that way:
1. cook the ROMs in classic look and easy to see and understand (white text on black menu or something) just the basic theming and give an option to update for another look...
2. when you are building sense ROM please make it the way sense look like not with some orange icons or percents with transparent menu upon a light wallpaper where you cant see anything without hardening you eyes.
3. building Cyan is the same, make it stock and give an option to theme it.
4. do not put some extra software in the ROMs, that way you just got where everybody wanna go away from (HTC way) We all want to remove the bloatware with the stock ROMs but stock ROMs instead of giving us basic option to install what we need give us more and diferent other bloatware
========================================
anyway, I am posting this because I am looking on all those Sense3.5 threads. I don't have enough time ATM to build one miself the way I like it to be, so I am searching for stock stable kernel, basic clasic sense3.5 look with sense3.5 functionality, stock icons and stock boot animation and etc. but I couldn't find such. every sense 3.5 rom is moded somehow, why you are using sense3.5 in the ROMs name when you use just few setings from sens and everything else is moded?!?
I do not want to be rude at all!!! you all have my possitive feelings, thats a wonderful forum with more wonderful members...just...please listen to me and when you build please add an option for the members to choose whether to update through a custom recovery the look of the ROM, give us basic look sense, ADW or MIUI ROMs!
Best Regards

Most basic 3.5 for WFS, use UOT Kitchen to change the battery to stock, its clearier than clear

This is a development thread, not a request line. Keep this place uncluttered by posting stuff like this in general, a rom post or a pm.

It would be nice to have one with the new european RUU but I think that's a lot of work...

[Q] Jelly Bean Status bar on Viper X

Hi, i am looking for at way to replace the standard HTC status bar with an AOSP one, is this possible, if so how?
I'm running Viper X 3.7.0 on my One X, I also tried some apps on the market, but i couldn't really get them to work.

Go into the venom hub and download the aosp statusbar mod. Install it and go to the venom tweaks and set the icons in the statusbar tab

Will this mod the whole notification area or just the icons? I'm trying to get as close to the AOSP look as possible without moving to an AOSP rom, so if you know any mods or themes that will bring me closer to that, it will be much appreciated

You can keep an eye on this one, its not up to date atm but the question about an update is asked already ....
Link doesn't stick ....hold on
Find it in here

Its an aosp mod

I think you forgot some of the link, but thanks anyway! Really nice of you helping me out here

Post updated

Yeah i see But it links to the Viper X theme thread, and i don't see the mod, am i missing something?

you tried installing viperx with sense removal option ?

Yes, it only removes the sense launcher unfortunately. I think it is a matter of editing the framwork. But then again, i don't know much about this.

Check in that thread in the OP for the geenyous aosp thread. I think its going to be updated to the latest viper (hope so) its one of the best out there once its updated

Looks good, will try it when it gets updated! Thanks again, it's much appreciated

You should look to get a different base since this is not so common. Also is this the xperia look you are trying to get? There are a few roms in the rom section that has a fully themed xperia look. Check it out.

There are none that i know of. The only thing is to individually look for some of the settings. Like there is 1 for lockscreen and the apps but that's all i know of and i have been on here for a while. While i am a fan of the xperia themes they are not all the great in terms of performance with the phone. The stock or AOSP stuff are usually the best you will get. Some of the xperia mods have been known to cause FC closure on some apps.
The latest firmware also is still not supported properly for mods. As you can see in the rom dev section they are all using older bases. The new rom only came out a few days now soo development for it won't be here yet. I suggest you try back the Chaos HD but ask for detailed instuructions for it.
I am using ultimarom by the way. Very awesome and you should give it a try.

Slick rom 2.2 g3 launcher problem

Trust me I wouldn't have made this thread if I hadn't tried for like hours here.
Something is wrong with either my methods or the rom guys.
Using slick rom which is ultrabloated.
There are simple add-ons for camera and all other stuff if one needs(g3 stock based rom)
I am not able to use g3 launcher on rom and dt2s is must for me (not notification bar but whole home screen).
I tried flashing the zip by ultralite rom guy and many other ways(simple to tough ones) but can't seem to make that launcher work on rom which is driving me crazy. I think dev has deleted a lil more than what he should have(I am no one to judge)
If someone can help me here, thank you.
Am being all paranoid about it(and am sick :|)

24 views and still no answers.(I wished someone had)
No issues. Changed the rom.
I will be deleting thread now(if I can't) moderator pls do.
