Andriod Meets Ubuntu. Theme for G1, based on Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks to Stericson for all his help. Without him, this would not be possible. We were together able to figure out how to change fonts and resize fonts. Also thanks to him for supplying the empty update.zip file.
Instructions: rename to update.zip and rest same as everyother theme.

my final release will not change your fonts. if you guys want my changed version, you'll have to pm me.
Warning - might brick your phone. has been tested on jf 1.31. recommend to have dev bootloader installed just in case.
will post small updates from time to time.
This is the final version for this theme. Time to move on now
awe man, the distortion icons! I love those, I had downloaded them and thought about using them in a theme, they look good
Hey! How did you edit the font for the clock?
very nice work~
Any chance of an ADP1 version?
That looks really good. Is the notification bar transparent as well?
MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is great! love the boot scrren, the ubuntu symbol when you input the password. this is an amanzing themre! Great job!
REAL NICEEEE thnxxxxxxxxx
Theres something wrong with this theme. Once you install it, its like the font stays on the phone. I uninstalled this theme and installed two other ones to be sure, and the font remained the same! i also had trouble browsing through pictures and the name of some of my applications was "....."............???? =/ in order to fix the phone i had to reinstall RC30 which made me reinstall all my apps..big pain in the butt!
Awww... I was planning on doing a Tango theme for Android so it looked more like the default Ubuntu (or any GNOME distro for that matter) installation... It would look significantly different, so I'll probably make it anyways, but...
looks like he renamed the font he is using to the font the G1 uses droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf reinstalling a new theme unless it has custom font will not change it back to change it back you will have to reinstall jf rc30 or push the font back.I could be way off but that is how it looks to me. stericson if you read this can you add the original font to your original theme thx
Kron2 is correct. Thats how i did it, anyway for anyone who wants to go back to default fonts, i'll post an update with default font.
yo yo yo, get us the hook up with an ADP1 version if you don't mind. do you have a donation bucket?
theme is nice, especially the change in the unlock pattern, how did you change it? Would throttlelauncher be a source to these new patterns? If so how do you apply them?
Could we see further support/development for unlock patterns?
There will be an update sometime jan 13 or 14. my school started and dont have enough time to work on the theme anymore. I will still be working on it but not as much as before. Also major update this weekend.
ADP version coming this weekend

Done!
But I added it seperately. Just in case some people want to change themes but keep fonts or change fonts but keep themes.
Stericson
The Best!
I just wanted to say that after trying most of these themes the past couple of days (the ones that worked), this by far is the best looking and most complete. You have outdone yourself.

Hi Guys
For all that are unfamiliar with BUUF, it is a set of icons made for the desktops. Hopefully i recreated this experience to our beloved Android. All icons are courtesy of its creator Mattahan, the battery was supplied by Mr. Stylo and the clock was made by Rontz. Everything else by me 8) I really hope you guys enjoy this as I have put in quite a lot of time. Up to date we have 550+ icons changed in this theme and these pics really dont reflect the extensive amount of makeover it has gone through. I want to thank Stericson for giving the community and myself a great new hobby. Necromancer for his ubuntu theme which inspired me and everyone should go d/l it 8) Last but not least, Dave the illest for originally supplying the update.zip and the tools necessary to create my first release. Latest build is built from the ground up. If you use any of my icons go right ahead as long as you give me credit 8)
7/9 Sorry guys its been almost 5 months since i last updated this thing. Been so busy with work and now that I'm finally happy with a stable build out there, I decided to finally start porting this thing over. This has only been tested on Cynogen's build 3.6.5 You guys can test it on other builds at ur risk. 8) This is not a full change over as I have done previously in JF builds. I will continue to release new revisions as i have time to update the current icon set. This update may also require that you are running apps2sd as the update file is fairly large. I havent tested it on a non apps2sd build yet so someone can let me know. For now it will only be one color. as the theme gets more complete, I'll release new colors. Ok enjoy 8)
Cynogen 3.6.5

i'm diggin your theme dthadamaja! keep up the good work... i'm installing as we speak
Very Nice Bro.
this is slick....
Well there goes my theme idea...
I kid, I kid.
Nicely done.
looks great. this is going to be the first custom theme i put on my g1
WOW! I was gonna request or BUUF or a GANT theme. This looks amazing! I didn't plan on doing a custom theme but I think you just changed my mind!

I'm working on a theme using the icons from GANT (actually GACK, the OS X version of GANT since it uses PNG icons) if dthadamaja doesn't beat me to it
I'm almost done with all the icons, but I still need to add resources like the tab, status bar, battery icons, wifi, a bootscreen, etc. I'm starting from the default RC30 so it won't have any elements of the Windows 7 theme in it, but it will probably have a lot of the default stuff...
I'll make a new post when I'm done, but it will probably end up looking a lot like this since GANT and BUUF are highly similar (but GANT has a bit more gloss to it)
i like this theme alot !1.. keep up the good work
This theme is great! love the flashing.... uuummm alien?? idk what it is but cool. By the Way.... how did u get a game folder?
Installed the theme with no issues..
Some of the icons are a bit blocky (calendar, browser bookmarks, refresh, etc) though. I hope these get fixed as it moves out of beta.
Great job!

Sweet I had my TyTN II all GANT'ed up so this would make my G1 that much better! Can't wait for a release
hey how did you change the unlock pattern for the theme? where were those files located?
is it just in the framework.res folder? and you either tweak the icons given or replace them with your own personal image?
im tryna grasp the whole concept of the phone, im making a theme as well
wanted to try and edit everything, why not, unlike others i have a lot of free time this term in school, so why not
also you said u used the "windows-step by step" instructions to sign and create your app? i am having troubles with the signing of the apk
I was soooooo waiting for the black and white theme but you have renewed my love for GANT. Manhattan the kid that came up with these icons is amazing. I think he was 13 at the time he created the first GANT theme.
Installing as I type DD
okay...so for me this won't boot past the G1 screen...
oddly, i tried reupdating to deepblack and after the alt+s process this themes icons came up....
well, anywho....nice theme
No clue what BUUF is, but this theme is awesome looking. Downloading/Installing as I type this.

BuuF is the name of the icon pack. Go to deviantart.com and type in buuf or gant
very nice work! Like the lock screen! Keep it up!
Stericson
Thank you for your hard work, im loving this theme!!!
Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.
To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.
hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.
Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.
yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....
I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.
how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks
if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.
I've been playing around with the theme engine on CM9 nightlies and want to tweak one of the existing theme apks from the market for my own use, specifically the purple holo. I've been trying to integrate yellow into it for a schnazy purple/yellow theme starting with the dialer.
So here's the snag: I have no errors nor problems decompiling the theme apk. I go into the drawable file(s) (hdpi, mdpi and I believe xhdpi) and copy the dialer icons and proceed to edit them in gimp, changing them to yellow. I save them as .pngs. and then drop them back into their respected drawable folders.
Now I recompile, again, no errors or problems. Sign the apk and then push it to my phone. It installs just fine. HOWEVER when I go to switch to the theme via the integrated theme engine I states that it was not compiled properly and to contact the author.
So what am I missing? Do I actually need to edit an XML or something? I never changed any names or locations of any of the files. I'm new to themeing and trying to started on personal projects, maybe one day create my own from scratch. Any help from all you masters out there would be appreciated.

Edited to include a market link of the theme I'm trying to alter:

Dont matter just dont Byte!!!!
This Is a Port from the Razr HD, please let me know if anything is missing or needs to be resized...thanks!!!!
This Should work on any stock deodexed rom, rage rom, but should also work on any moto hd rom...since its only pushing images to the appropriate folders.....please test what rom its working on for you!!!!
This was built based on Rage 2.1 and then updated to 2.2...going foward I wont have to update the theme as the rom updates as I am no longer pushing .apks rather pushing the res folders directly to the installed .apk (thanks villianroms for VRTheme)
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, you assume all risk.
Here we go,
What we have here is a BuuF Theme, that is still a work in progress.
This theme looks best with the Buuf golauncher or ADW theme and lockscreen theme, however I plan to theme the stock Moto launcher and unlocker.
lots of the default plain arse black background have been changed to a more appealing dark brown.
The homescreen screenshot shows the updated 4g/signal/battery icons....the 4g icon is awesome....robots left eye is data in and right eye is data out, they emit an orange glow when they are activated, radioactive signal icons
so far here is whats themed:
contacts
deskclock
geniewidget
gmail
parts of homescreen (still working on this, as i have been useing golauncher and have it themed for this, but still want to finish this and stock lockscreen in the near future)
messaging
moto camera
moto email
phone
settings
systemUI
framework
miui apps added and themed:
MiFileExplorer
MiNotes
MiuiDeskclock
MiuiMusic
I also have made the corresponding BuuF GoLauncherEX theme and a BuuF GoLocker theme links at the bottom..
the clock in my screenshot is a beautiful widget with the andromeaBuuF theme applied (I plan to make my own to match this theme in the future)
as this theme is a work in progress, things can and will constantly change...
Please do comment and ask for requests, but please do know I work full time and have a family, so be patient.
as always make a backup first...I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your device!!!!!!
