Develop Bugs

Just RC33's ?

Hi all,
I will say now that i am a total noob and for the life of me can't code, BUT i do love this site and all the work that is done and i really admire it all,the way i see it is that if it aint on the xda developers website then it aint worth it i have now managed to root my UK G1 and install custom boot screens, I have noticed however that there don't seem to be any RC9 themes yet, am i missing them or are there just none at this stage?
Kind regards.
Doobs x

there is a script that should be able to convert the theme of your choice to any build of your choice(RC9 included) but it will only move the images, if you want the hex edits the dev did then you will need to move them yourself(unless i missed that update on the script) hit the search button and find it

Thanks for the up! The Vekktor them is No.1 for me so far Now if anyone falls upon this post after asking the same question without really opening your eyes like me this will be the right post to look in:-

[Theme] xda-developers.com Group Theme Idea.. Please READ!

I know theres a theme suggestion thread sticked up on the forums, but I think this should posted here so it could get noticed more and get more feed back from everyone, because personally I dont think that thread get much attention base on the fact that I posted up my "Got Wood?" theme 2 days ago and it already has just as much views as the request thread. If not, then move it, its understood.
Ok, here is my "xda-dev" theme idea. (Nabzilla1990, this is no way of me trying to step over your theme, as seen as you already have a "community hero mix".
The whole purpose of this project/theme is to expand the selection of themes, but most importantly is to have fun with this project. Id like to see how a theme would come out looking if all theme developers joined together and created one theme from scratch. The way it would start is like this: (and this is just an example)
Let's say I started off, and I designed the application launcher tab. Once I'm done designing that, I'd post it up here on xda and someone else would call "next" and design lets say a wallpaper. Then once the wallpaper is done, the theme gets updated and posted again, and then someone else would call "next" and design the notification bar or whatever they want to do next. We'd keep doing this until we get a decent looking theme and we're all happy with it and then release itto the public.
I personally think this can turn out to be a great project/theme if everyone contributes. If anyone has any more ideas, suggestions on how we can improve the whole process of this project ,feel free to post up your reply.

i think this would actually be a great idea and a fun project, but who ever starts it should do the wallpaper so it can be easier to design everything else around it.
let me know what i can do and i will happily help out with this. if nothing else i am good for progress circles and bars colors

As long as every element works together it should be great. Especially if lets say someone could touch up pieces that someone else designed, and the community would then decide wether they like the changes.
Just some suggestions.

Im down! Count me in

Let me know if you guys need help with .xml edits.

im down to help too!

I'm not the best at making these things from scratch, but I think a great place to start with be to ask manup is he can make an XDA wallpaper similar to his xROM; and have one in white and one black (maybe even a bronze). That'll give users and devs options.
Maybe I can find some icons later on in the project or something.

iReflect icons for WM6.5

I had a few people asking for icon packs. I resized the first half of the 200+ icons entitled iReflect to fit the panels for WM6.5 without stretching them. Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c3xmtmdjjawI'll be finishing the rest tomorrow night and posting the second pack in this thread. Additionally for all who have been wanting icons and backgrounds and are new to XDA check out the thread from dash users aimed specifically for icon pack request and background images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415528

Hallo. It would be nice to give me some credits for creating all of this icons. This are the rules as i wrote in my first post. Thank you.

Alright well here is what you wrote, "If you use this for a ROM, Application or a theme here, just give me some credits, no need to ask. It is not allowed to post this icons anywere else or use them for commercial apps without my permission."
As you can see I neither made a ROM, App, nor a theme. And certainly didn't use it for commercial use. So I won't give you credit. I clearly mentioned the name that you branded your icon pack and everyone knows I didn't make them. I resized them. So live with it. I got no problem just taking the link down and not letting the fruits of your labor be seen by others. I was trying to help you out. So don't troll forums for your own stuff and see who violated your rules, just be happy your work is appreciated.

@jdshifflett - Thanks for resizing the icons! I have not been able to find a good tutorial on how to use different icons though. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Great looking icons
Hey there... I need help if you may, I want to know how to replace the icons on my phone with these?

Thoughts about themes

Since android was disponible, this community did a great job on creating theme for this platform. Although android is not defaultly skinnable, themers had to create custom updates for change icons and other graphical things.
On another side we saw many people involved in modifying google open source apps such as launcher, browser and so on.
Why don't we put the two sides together?
Consider that someone modifies, for example, launcher app to be allowet for changing icons. Themeing would be better and simpler. No compatibility problems because images would be loaded directly from the operating system, directly from the app to be skinned. Such as open home or such as every other app that is skinnable.
Don't you like the idea?

You should contact the developer of the launcher. He will be able to make the modifications to allow for this (because yes, as of currently, its not really skinnable [at least to my knowledge]).
But yes, good idea.

You wouldn't be able to change the status bar for example. .

Maybe just personal opinion but only 2 or 3 of the themes look good at all, a lot of them look terrible!
While I admire the hardwork , I wish someone would make more black/dark themes. And nothing too over the top.
Kill off the "hero" look, Make the bottom pull tab transparent.
Enoch is about the only decent theme here.

Cannot we modify source of each apk we want to theme?

Well because each app that google owns and we can't distribute, we can't even include a custom icon which would be modifying copyrighted contend.

I totally agree, and also don't create anything for the community to use.

Sine mianosm has seconded this, i will third it. Stupid themers can't create some iamges that look good. I mean it must not be hard at all since we have all of these ugly themes, so why doesn't someone make a good looking one for once. Can we get a good theme finally!!!!

I don't think it is the right thread for commenting themes.

Here's the reason why; you're completely forgetting about variety. Asking devs to prepare a rom a certain way is roughly equivalent to ramming a particular theme down your way, but not everybody will like it. Whichever theme it is you like, there will be 30 more people here that find it either dull or tacky (let's face it, the Theme's subforum is full with examples of both), but hey, that's their taste. When we make builds, we like putting out a known base, in this case, the default Android look. Cyanogen resisted theming his builds because of this, and if he did add variations to visuals, they were very, very minimal, and very tactful. What comes to mind is the horrible (in my mind) bootscreen for tehseano's Hero theme. Though the screen was nice, my phone is my phone, not advertisment space, so having "a theme by tehseano & Moonspoon" in there, even if it was only during boot, I felt was horribly inappropriate and tacky. Or there's the horrible rom King-something-or-other made with the stupid bootscreen. Many people don't agree, and that's great, because there's variety and diversity, and that's where themers come in.
You're asking for a reduction of choice, but choice tends to be a personal issue. Whatever it is you like, I assure you, there's going to be plenty of people that don't like it.
Let devs do instead what we do, develop, and let themers do their job, and let people have the ability to make choices.

this is actually a really good idea, however people would definitely need to coordinate thoughts and idea's better, but on that sense it would provide a much closer knit community.
would be interesting to see what develops from this.

The simplest way is for the themer to include the png's when he creates the theme and have the end user repack and sign, or use better cut if they don't care about the app drawer icon.

Light theme for CM9?

Hi, searching for a light theme for CM9.
By that I dont mean just the text and icons changed to white or something else, dont even know how that can be called another theme.
Searching for something looking more like HTC sense. By that I mean the colors and such.
Sick of the black and boring colors in samsungs ICS/CM9

Have you tried the big button at the top labelled "SEARCH", try entering "CM9" into it and see what happens.
There it's a sticky in the Android themes section called "CM9 themes".
There's also the play store where if you search for "CM9 theme", it will return a large amount of results.
You can even use a search like Google.
Falling that create your own, there's many guides.
Or are you just lazy and want people to do the work for you?
I could have posted links to all these within the time it's taken to write this, but hey, where's the fun in that!

What is your problem? I only asked a question just if there is. I have been already going through that thread and almost all of those are all dark and have only changed color of the text. Some have made the black background colors a bit lighter.
But if there's none theme that meets my criteries I guess there's nothing to do about it if not making my own. But I am no developer, so Ill have to stick with orig. cm9.

Wat you talkin bout?
I've just given you a lot of options to try and find a theme for your liking.
That's gratitude for ya.
The reason there is no light themes is because it requires editing the manifest to change the default theme from dark to light. But there will always be apps that use the dark theme and need editing so it becomes like quick sand.

I've only seen 2 white status bar themes for CM9. Frost by Sonny in the play store and another called Ghost in the Galaxy Nexus themes and apps forum.
Sent from my GT-I9100

Finally a proper answer to my question.
Thank you!

Oh look, it's a thread from page 5 in these forums on 31/5/12

Try using the round things in your head, just above your nose called eyes.
They're amazing pieces of tech, they give you the magical ability of sight.
But dont tell everyone or they will all want some and then were will that leave us??.
