Before getting started I need to thank some people who have hlped me with this project or offered help to me. These people can be seen as contributors to this project, and I am grateful for their help.

Major thanks to Manup465 as he provided the status bar, the bottom notification bar, and the app bar used in one of the backgrounds. Thanks alot for your help Manup465!
Major thanks to Necromancer as he came up with the idea of replacing the fonts on the phone, between the two of use we were able to do it! Thanks alot man!
Also, before we get started, you will need root, and Jesusfreke's Mod rc30 installed(1.3), Mod ADP1(Actually, I would think that this would work on the default ADP), or Mod RC8(1.3) MAKE SURE IT'S V1.3!!!.
THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
While I highly doubt it will, it still could!
If you are going to do this, I very highly URGE you to install the G1 engineering bootloader. With this installed, if something does go wrong, your phone is salvageable!

G1 Engineering bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
With all that said an done I can get rid of that bold font.
This is a very simple process thanks to Jesusfreke helping me understand how to make an update.zip file which will work with his mod rc30 update.
Simply download the file, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S.
Once it says its done, reboot the phone and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any problems at all!
Let me know what you want to see in the next release, be reasonable I'm not a master image maker, and android does some strange things to some images.
Let me know if something seems out of place, or wrong.
I will try to resolve all issues as quick as I can.
Take a look at the pictures!
This theme comes with both the standard wallpaper shown and the wallpaper with the app bar provided by Manup465. These wallpapers are in the wallpaper gallery.

Besides the obvious visual differences, what else has changed or been modified/fixed/etc? I think i like your other theme better, and if there is little or nothing changed behind the scenes i think ill stick with it. Great work though guys, another original looking theme!
Awesome theme!!!!
Ouch...hope im not hit with that. But at least you can now update to JF's RC 30v1.3, and try again
momentary, message me on gtalk...I want you to try something
[email protected]
Pablizzo, I made some corrections added some fixes changed the magnifying icons and the look thats about it. It does contain bug fixes though....
same ol same
hey stericson its the same ordeal this theme is soooo sick man and i cant even flash it
success
hey i flashed the rc30 1.3 and then your theme and it worked yes! great theme
For anyone having ANY issues flashing the phone (or if you freeze up).
Take the card out and use an adaptor (or at least this is how I did it) to install JF's new 1.3 version for the phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466174
Once you do that, just reboot and then install the theme as shown above. Just did it and it looks AWESOME
Anyones device who froze at the g1 screen I believe the problem was that you run out of space on the device, causing some programs from getting flashed over, which would cause your phone not to boot. Installing JF's rc30 V1.3 fixes this by drastically increasing /systems free space.

Amen! With this and JF's update, I feel like I just got a new phone! The thought put into detail is amazing!
thanks for the new theme! working great so far. loving the new icons 8)
Stericson you did it again!! the main system icons are changed and i love them! your theme keeps getting better and better
for those who are missing Browser from the previous theme:
I installed JF's 1.3 then Stericson's new theme and the browser came back. I dont know if its the new theme or the order of installation.
NOTE:
For anyone getting "stuck" at the Android screen, you need the NON-ADP1 version of JF1.3. This is written for that version and NOT for the developer version.
Got stuck in a loop and didn't realize why until I did a little hunting.
Did I mention I ****LOVE**** this theme????
Ok this may be a dumb question but i have everything installed on my g1 you say is needed. One question though, i have never put a theme on g1 yet, do i need to have a previous theme installed for new one to work or can i just put this on right now?
Should work without wiping...has for everyone else. If it doesnt, just do a wipe manually.
BTW, A version of my theme for ADP1 has been released
Just installed this on my g1 after recently downgrading to rc29 then installing modded tc8 then installed jf 1.3 adp1. This theme went on no probs and didnt even have to wipe!!.
Nice work
browser icon
Is there a way to install theme and push the auto rotate browser and keep the new theme icon?
On v1.3 it wont i have tried it with the auto rotate browser i made edit to for my theme and nothing.
@Stericson
Do you know if the pics bug is the build or the themes problem? I am having this problem when you scroll the pics it goes down a little bit then resets,it does it all the time an I think its the theme that frame around the pics but where is that part in framework-res?
Oh an i think said this before this theme is HOT!!!!!
So maybe Stericson can help me. Everytime I load a new theme, and I have Koush's Auto-rotate browser set up, I lost my browser function. I can push the browser back, but then the browser icon returns to the stock icon (which sucks if you're using manup's blue theme) Anyone else having this problem?
manup's blue theme is the only one that has survived since manup has taken the auto rotate browser and applied the icon change. you can download the file here ://www.mediafire.com/?0wtm3mlntzj (file is on post #66 from blue theme thread)
change it the name to browser.apk and place on sd card and follow the steps to push it thru.
I have not found the flame theme browser icon update yet, so for now I am sticking to the blue theme until someone comes up with it unless I learn how to do it myself.

___________________________________________
Lets start with a thank you for Stericson and JesusFreke. Stericson has helped me so much in understanding the possibilities and limitations of themes and showing me some fun little tricks and mods that no one else has figured out yet. Without him no one would be where we are now.
My Promise to You: I promise what all the work I create is free for the community to use, edit, and change and I will never ***** if someone forgets to give me credit but I will always make sure the right people get credit. I promise that not everything will be compatible, most of the time I am lucky if it even works. I promise that on occasion I am wrong but I will usually admit it. I promise to not flame on you for asking a retarded question, but I also may not answer it, especially if its listed in this post which most things are. And I promise to do my best to bring you guys fun stuff I am working on, but I jump around a lot so dont expect any continuous work on a theme or anything else, I just work on whatever I want to work on whenever I decide I want to work on something.

so this is the complete rom with your modifications? Why did you say that we have to have the regular rom before flashing this then?
I really love what you have done to the hero rom. I was just wondering if there is anyway you can change the look of the phone keypad I think a new look to that would look great on the hero rom. Maybe a transparent keypad or a cool looking color i dont know some change!!!
Does this get rid of the so called "3D" from JACxHERO v1.1?
I cant see my weather widget because of the "3D".
Compared to the cynagon kpsec oreo how is the "speed?"
edit--
I tried it and its great,
Is there anything you can't do brandenk ?

I just tried it from JaACxHERO v1.1 and I just updated it without wiping, formatting or anything and it installed fine.. I did have to go thru the set up again and all that.
I did not do any other testing besides that because it wasn't what I was looking for and am restoring from my backup now.
Hey willl this work on Jac's latest hero rom 1.2 or only 1.1??? Thanks in advance!!!
I've been trying to install Morphs or a blackbar for the new (rooted) OTA Update. I'm using the ROM that was (claimed to be in the thread) deodexed (look here: h t t p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620). I've either had boot loops or blank screens after boot. Have you guys managed to get any morphs to work? I'm just looking for a smooth black statusbar.
I'm guessing (since you didn't post a link to the theme) that it flashes services.jar in /system/framework, if you remove that and edit the xml accordingly it will work, but the time will remain black. You'll need to manually edit your services.jar to fix that.
I tried flashing themes that were CM6 compatible (Simplicity), and just the browser and the framework_res.apk. I haven't tried any others.
And those bootlooped? It's probably a much better idea to get support in the release threads for those themes.
Good idea. Thanks!
i just downloaded that build you posted a link too and it is still odex'd unless you deodexed it yourself or something
bump!
Sorry to bump this, but I'm also looking for a themed version of the 2.2.1 OTA rom, but in particular i want the black bar with white letters, such as the Community Hero Mix has. Is there something like this? Aside from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848791, because I prefer the green on black and a simple OTA rom

I want this and can not wait.
Look great so far, maybe you can take somethings from juwe's rom, i just came from that rom and the theming was great but i like darky rom better. His contacts, GB keyboard looked awesome, maybe you can take a look.
Looking forward to this theme.

I think fekke just took those files as it contains exactly the same files as far as I can see, and has the same things not working yet, like the the 9 lockscreen Looks like he only added TW4.5 to it Of course correct me if I'm wrong here, just pointing out it already exists and soon Pele78 will release a new version (the original maker of BAT)

Hi there BAT lovers I have had some time off becouse my computer broked down :/ I needed to redo everything i have done... So things will take a little longer then expected. Work are on again! Sorry that it have taken some time :/
EDIT: Im also on to buy me one more SGS to develop with. I have thoughts about using MIUI on my own device and then i thought "I have started this porting and should continue with it". So dont be afraid It will be done!

Havent seen this! The porting will go much easyer now As i saiod this will be an LITE version with TW 4.5 and SGS2 lockscreen (to begin with?) and ofc the black theme as in BAT with some small modifications. Screens will come up soon so you can see some differences between Blackening and BAT
This port is for S.U.R.F.A.C.E. v2.1 Rom. The .apk's are with diferent modifications and those things so ofc it wont work on Darky, thats wy i am porting it to Darky's rom so things will be right.
My htc 10 now updated in last viper rom..
I update sense home to version 8.64 but theme store dont show my downloaded themes....
