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.
could some one hurry up and make a pink theme for the sgs .
my wife is giving me grief over this ,tried explaining that its a new phone and people are doing more important things than make themes .
willing to pay for the theme ,just for the peace
thanks
I bet she told you that you should have bought an iPhone instead. XD
Anyhow, I think using a different launcher may open up some more customisations for you (ADB Launcher was it?) in terms of skins. Making a "Hello Kitty" one shouldn't be too difficult.
i use adw launcher on my phone think its alot better than stock .
even if the notification bar and the dock was pink ,that would be enough if she runs adw launcher ,as the background colours etc can be changed
Download OwnSkin on the Market
with a bunch of live themes for free 'also pink
and when you register on the site you can easy make your own theme with a online tool
excellent that will keep the wife happy for a while
thanks
HOLOGLASS, super-minimal and totally classy!
Because a lot of people liked what I'm doing here, they wanted a donate version. That has now been released
Free Beta: right here!
--------------
Hey XDA, I have been working on this idea for a few days about a month at this point... one, because I don't like how the recent CM10/AOKP digital clock widget has been looking lately, but more importantly, because I wanted a thin and light UI that focused on the User, (primarily their background choices), and I haven't seen a good ROM or skin that did this well / the way I wanted. Sticking to the Holo theme was very important while designing this, and I think that is very clear in the result (No pun intended).
I've been taking it rather slow and steady, making sure I know exactly what each line of my theme does, where each image goes, etc. This is my first theme, so be patient
You will notice the theme doesn't match the images below; those were my ideal mockups and I had to make some compromises due to system limitations. A custom ROM might change that, and is in the works. Also, the lockscreen widget doesn't exist yet, that I know of. I'm designing that too.
UPDATES:
7/10: Donate Version updated with 4.4.3 dialer and contacts. Took WAY TOO LONG. Now to work on CM theme engine style.
2/5: Donate version updated with KitKat support, fixes ugly grey actionbar, but temporarily reverts the new dialer and contacts (only 4.4)
8/23: b1.9 - Big update!
First step to update to 4.3 roms. Had to revert the deskclock back to fat hours for now, and Contacts.apk is still off, but it's closer. More to come. Added support for the NEW paid Swype keyboard (trail is still orange, sorry), AOKP Circlemod battery, White CM Battery, and a lot of really minor tweaks while I fixed all the things I broke trying to organize code and stuff.
4/17: b1.7 with TRANSPARENT KEYBOARD wut wut
4/16: b1.6 with new notification tray background, merged donate and beta so everyone gets QS toggles, and some more surprises Also started work on some weather widget icons for the lockscreen ideas.
4/15: b1.4 with numerous statusbar and other fixes, and Donate Version with ALL the QS toggle's themed!
4/12: Beta v1.3 - Large update with more assets, properly themed colors, and a fix for the dialog issue!!!
4/11: Beta v1.2 ACTUALLY fixed the MMS issue after a couple tries.
4/10: Put out the themed MMS on the appstore; Thanks to Justin Bourne for jumpstarting it!
4/10: Still stuck on the dialog-as-a-new-page issue, so I'm looking to redo the styles.xml again.... joy! Removing the apk from the thread so everyone can recieve updates via Google Play.
UPDATE 4/9: One month later, HoloGlass emerges as a rather complete beta. The rest is history.
Literal History (of the alpha):
So I love you guys and this glass theme too much to sleep even; I stayed up all night to get this ready and out the door. I kept telling myself, oh, just one more asset, etc etc, and then it's 530am and I have to go to work soon. ANYWAYS. I redid my workflow to included an official signing key & zipalign, and JUST uploaded to the appstore, so the link probably wont be live for a little while. But because of the almost 800 alpha 2.1 users, I'm going to post it up here one last time so you can get it first (and with that shiney XDA version badge on it)
UPDATE 4/7: Started over, sort of; Rebuilding the styles.xml so everything is smoother, fixing most of the transition issues, fixed the notification clock/button issue, and themed the notifications, but the glass styles haven't been finished yet, so no new apk yet. Once I do that, however, I think we'll be graduating to BETA, and will post in the app store. COMING SOON!!!!
Another 4/5: Alpha 2.1 - Accidently had temp QS images in there, and fixed some more colors (like the status bar clock). I tried playing with the text sizes, (larger clock done in holo-thin/holo-light, etc), but... it wasn't HOLO, so even if I wanted to "YOLO", it was a big NO-GO.
GIANT UPDATE 4/5: I was sneaky and made an initial alpha available somewhere in the thread, but after doing so I fixed a few things (namely, the animation piece; by turning it off, lol), and am ready to make this an official alpha. OP updated to reflect that. Oh, and I made myself a signature too
UPDATE: 4/2: QS Toggles & systemUI icons done, see Post 116 for a sexy screenshot
UPDATE: 4/1: Halfway through making the new SystemUI icons, see Post 144 for more deets. Hoping to have an XDA alpha/beta out in the next few days.
UPDATE: 3/18: Updated OP Title to reflect that this is actually in development. Pretty good progress on basic apps and updated Holo theme, but needs refactoring and to redo most notification icons for proper transparency. Not bad for 10 days after-hours work.
UPDATE: 3/12: See Post 43 for screenshots of the first baby steps! sortof-holo-glass in a real theme!
UPDATE: 3/11: Any experienced Theme-ers want to give me a few tips? I'm starting to understand it but can't seem to get my head around the first steps; once I get in I will be fine. Thanks!
UPDATE 3/8: I've cracked open my first Theme template, and will be working from there. Starting with JB 4.1, and might work my way down.

I think that looks awesome and you should definitely do something like that

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I really love this idea and wouldn't mind paying for it even.
The only issue I see is while the clear ui works well with the wallpapers you've chosen, it may not with every wallpaper, as far as text and icon readability. Luckily I use mostly darker toned backgrounds.
If the final product looks anything like your mockups, I'll be in minimalist heaven. Good luck!

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
In theory it's a great idea. A problem that I see is in the transparent notification drawer because anything that you have on the home screen would be seen in the drawer and could potentially make it hard to read. But it's still a pretty awesome idea.

All the background designs have a ~20-40% black overlay, and that overlay would be included in the final ROM layout, so theoretically any background should work. (I played with a lot). I haven't tried ALL white yet though... maybe I should.
I've also considered learning how to make the BG darkening layer transparency a user-customizable setting, to adjust as needed.

I think this could be solved with the "Notification Background" option that I know at least AOKP has built, so it would just copy the system background and not have the icons show through.
Another Idea I'm playing with is a background rotator (probably exists), that would change the background every X minutes/hours.
Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
That's an awesome idea.... I'd use it for sure

Do you have a personal preference for roms at the moment, or would you prefer it to be a skin on top of your normal rom? If I have to fork an entire codebase, I guess I'd probably choose between CM10 and AOKP, so people's preference helps!
Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I think it would be nice as a theme. That way people could use it on any ROM with the built in theme chooser. Then you could release it here and put a donate version on the play store. I'd buy it. Then again I'd definitely give the ROM a try too! Hopefully we start to see this around more either way because I think that looks great

If anyone has information on how to build for theme choosers, and the extent they can modify the OS, please, PM it to me. My gut instinct tells me that without doing it in a ROM, you'll have to combine 3-4 different apps or mods to get the same thing, but I'll start looking in to it.
Looks awesome! Great Idea! :good:
Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I'm all for it!! Think it would be killer!! Look forward to using it!!

THIS IS AWESOME!
i really like this style!
and i think that if you can cooperate with a developer you and the dev both can get benifit,and further more,do some UI framework mod
This is definitely theme chooser theme worthy. If you made it a rom and it was for GSM Nexus it would leave us CDMA users high and dry.
By making it a theme anyone using CM10-10.1or have theme chooser could use it, CDMA or GSM. I would also donate for a theme like this.
P.S. There is an app that rotates wallpapers whether it's on a timer or you select a different wallpaper for each of your home screens. It's called multi-picture live wallpaper
Love the look.
Question though. What lockscreen widget is that?
short answer: Yes
Long answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Please

I'm on a Toro myself, so don't worry
Besides, if I *DID* end up going the custom ROM route, (which I am still considering, since after playing around a little, with AOKP + Nova I have been able to get pretty close to the look I want, and my ideal scenario is a one-stop mod), the stuff I am changing would not affect the core ROM, and could automate builds through custom merging with each branch.
But you are right, a theme is the easier route, (plus easier to make a donate version of).
Thanks for all the support guys, I'll try to make this happen.
PS: As for the bg rotation piece, in order to get the notification pulldown to not show the app/homescreen icons underneath, I think some custom work will be needed; I don't know if there is an easy way to pull the same background used. We'll see. Maybe I'll figure that one out for v2.0

Wow! This looks clean! I've always wanted to see something like this on my phone. I could even pay for this.
Superbbb Buddy , Just keep it up cos this would be rock solid with transparent softkeys.
They are up to 17 themes now, some better than others of course, but it is a nice effort anyway. I am using the Dragon Dynasty theme now - think it looks really good and makes my zenfone stand out from all the iphones and xperia that I see most people using here in Japan. One thing I would like ASUS to add is the ability to have more control over which aspects of the theme you want to use - wallpaper (home and lock), app drawer button and page dots, icons, notification shade and quuck settings. Some of the themes have some nice wallpapers or icons, but not so good in other aspects.
You can download any iconset you like!
You can download any iconset you like from Play store,they work for ZenUI!For dark Menu and others,like Gallery,there's a thread in Themes section!I love this phone too(and Dragon Dynasty theme too)!
Another bunch of themes added by ASUS. No wonder they can't fix bugs or sort out a 5.1 update - they are too busy making these themes!
Ink, Starlight, Ocean and Autumn. There's also a cutesy character one but I didn't download that.

I've gotta tell, it's pretty good. I might just stick to this.
Appreciate your work ?.
And it's good to see the forums getting live again, it's been dead for a while.
Downloading now, the theme looks nice from the pics. I prefer simplistic themes myself.
Worked on my Honor 8 Lite(PRA-LX1), then some meaningless google security update came out and now the theme is enabled but everything except the gray-ish status bar color is not working shame i really liked the nav bar and the lock screen thou
I appreciate your work dude. I loved you theme.
