Where I customize Rosies,Widgets, Themes + More. Oh and there will be screenshots!
What's up guys. I should have taken the advice of a wise old man(Teh Dust) jk lol when he suggested a couple days ago I make my own thread. Anyway this thread/theme/skins are a work in progress. If its seems like I am all over the place with this stuff, its probabaly cuz I am. My thread maintenance skills are sub par, but all you guys care about is the good stuff right
With the exception of the BTC2 & Twitter widgets, the base of my work has been focused on Rosie colors. I will try and maybe create nuetral themes(whites,blacks,greys) so that they can be interchangable with Rosies you may find here. I welcome anyone who wants to share their custom skins to go ahead and post here for all. Just tell us what version Rom you pulled the .apk from so we know its compatibility and to avoid posts asking where it came from.

*****************************
So here is the lite Neon Hero theme for JACxHEROWSKI v1.4. This theme is EXPERIMENTAL as it still needs some testing. IT IS NOT THE FULL ROM. I have successfully flashed it over JAC's Rom without any problems. FOR BRAVE SOULS ONLY!!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! The theme will delete data on /system/sd so make sure you use BACKUP FOR ROOT USERS or apps of the sort to backup all your important apps/app data/settings/contacts etc. You will have to go through the setup again same as when you flash new roms
Directions:
1. BACK UP ALL APPS/APP DATA YOU WISH TO RE-INSTALL
2. Place on root of sd
3. reboot into recovery
4. NANDROID BACKUP!!
5. *****DO NOT WIPE*****
6. apply either as update.zip or use the any zip flash function
7. Reboot

**************************UPDATE 8/20/09*****************************
IamLugo said:
Alright, I could no longer wait for a Hero template so i decided to put my smarty pants on and create one myself. The end result, is a working lite Ice Blue hero theme(not the full rom) that SHOULD be able to be flashed over Drizzy's Who's Your Hero roms. I label is experimental because its still needs to be tested & its a work in progress. I have successfully applied it to Drizzy's ChampionV2 rom without any issues. The theme zip will clear your app_s,app, and dalvik cache folders the same way if you were to flash a new rom. And upon reboot you will have to go through the set up. I havent figured out a way around this as its coded into Drizzy's hero roms, so for the moment it will have to do. I created this to try and make theming the Hero an easier process, and if they're arent any major issues hopefully it will be a breeze from now on and put things on the fast track. Any brave souls want to try it out? but use at your own risk. If you have issues please post and let me know and if you are able to flash without problems on different roms also post here.
I hope other Hero themers can work with me if there are ways to improve the Hero Theme template/update script. I have reached out to Hero devs but they have enough on their plate to deal with. We need this really bad. The method of flashing below was the only way I successfully flashed without bootloops
Directions:
1. BACK UP ALL APPS/APP DATA/DATA YOU WISH TO RE-INSTALL
2. Place on root of sd
3. reboot into recovery
4. NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!
5. *****DO NOT WIPE*****

UPDATE: Ice Blue JACxHEROv1.1 8/17/09
Alright so here it is. Not much to say other than enjoy, and post feedback. A FULL WIPE, EXT partitions and all is recommended to avoid bootloops. Nandroid backup to be safe. I will be holding off on the Drizzy FullV3. I ran into some issues during testing. Mainly apk/odex issues. The Mms.apk was acting a fool. And so was TouchFlo. I need to redo a couple things and it'll be released. But after testing, I do believe that most JACxHerov1.1 apks are compatible with the Who's Your Hero Roms. Use at your own risk!
**This is a Full Rom, put it on the root of your SD and flash!**
Also to other themers, you are more than welcomed to use my work. I encourage it . If anyone wants to try and port my work to other Roms, feel free. But at the very least give me a shout out. That much would be appreciated.
This theme is still a WIP, because there are still a few things to touch up. But as is im sure it should satisfy. This is my first Full Theme that has been shared with the Community. Much has been taken, now I give a little back. Thanks to all the Devs who lead the way! Anyway enough talk, screens:

edit: minor fix for 3G icon that I missed below
IamLugo said:
Here it is, a temporary fix for the blacked out 3G icon in the status bar. I missed it the first time because it wasnt in the framework-res folder where the other status bar icons were. It was in the resources folder by itself, strange. Anyway here it is, you can push this through adb or terminal. It worked for me without even having to reboot. Will be fixed in the next update

HELP NEEDED FOR A CUSTOM ONE-OFF ROSIE
***8/14/09 5pm
Okay so I'm working on a new design for a Rosie and I can't seem to find where the "Phone" .png or .xml is located. This Rosie is pretty much done. The Hero logo in the middle replaces the old middle tab button as the action button. Also I need if somecan to either edit or find the file that moves the red sliders position. I tried to contact Diaztradeinc because he has something similar in his Blues/Dark Red themes but I haven't heard back from him. If some can either send the file or even the Rosie.apk from that theme I can just swap it in. If I can finish this Rosie, I will be able to build from this and possibly come up with something else in the future. Anyway heres a screen shot, tell me what you think
When Pressed
Edit: Just realized I might swap splaces and make the white Hero logo the default rest tab. It think it'll look better reversed. Off too continue working on the theme. Hopefully ill have something completed this weekend.
Oh and a New Transparent Light Blue Rosie can be seen here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4330396&postcount=28

Okay guys. I just got home and ill be working on the BTC2 pack for a couple hours before I head out to see District 9 tonight . I already have a few more widgets done. I even touched up the color placement on the Twitter widget. I even started messing with the framework so anyone who is a fan of the BTC2 will probably like what I've come up with. Just have to fix a couple things with these .9.png files. Anyway I should be uploading files myself from now on(hopefully) to make it a lot easier for you guys.
I haven't looked yet, but if someone has a theme template for the most recent JacxHero time it would be a lot easier to put an update.zip together. Let me know.
Sick. Sick. Just plain ill.
Good stuff f/s lugo.

changing the color of the loading circle to darker red...not as dark as maroon but a lil lighter than maroon n darker then red...and could use the same color when u click on any app...may b the image below...i dont really have the greatest graphic program but may b something similar to the color below as the loading circle and stuff...also if u wanna test something c how the application tray would look with the background the same as the wallpaper and the where it says "All Programs" could b change to the same color as the loading circle
these r all suggestions...u can try it out and c how it looks...i'm trying to get into the whole development/cooking of the ROMs and modifying icons for apps so if i get somewhere i can probably explain it a lil better hahahaha lol let me kno wat u think bout it

Here is my first theme: ADWone
I'm glad to thank Cacheinjection for his amazing work and his tips
A bunch of thanks too to Stericson for his tutorials and his colorchanger jar
Thanks all those people who make great things around here,every dev, fullstop.
And thanks those themers who spend a lot (yeah, now i've suffered myself) of time os their creations.
Special thanks for inspiring me to:
-drpfenderson for Enoch.
-armoredraven for Luminescence.
-Jedipottsy for Elegance.
Ok, let's move on:
This is my FIRST theme, but i've spent a lot of time in tweaking a lot of things.
I'm trying to make it compatible with most popular roms, BUT i'm mainly using SuperD 1.9.3 with Wesgarner kernel for the base theme. This means that there are differences between theme versions because of eclair bits not present in some roms (aka dwang, theOfficial...).

So I had some spare time today and decided to make a ADWone skin for Weather Widget - Donate. It could probably use a little work, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
I uploaded the skin if anyone would like to dl it. Just put it in your /sdcard/prettyweather-googlecode-com/clock folder. In Weather Widgets - Donate, go to 'Install clock skin from SD card' and choose clock-ADW1.zip

your notification icons E/3G/Usb/Stat error don't match with your statusbar. also, the drawer tab is a little off. it looks like u just copy and pasted the top portion onto the black portion. the top half needs to be wider just 1 touch on both sides so that the lines match up with the bottom. otherwise, everything else looks great!
WOW! This is a very slick theme! Unfortunately, I don't use any of the supported roms (switch between CM and OpenEclair). I've heard lots of good things about SuperD. This theme might force me to try it out!

yeah, if i were you, i'd get off cyanogen, his roms are too slow these days esp bc he's spending more time on the nexus updates. i have tried SuperD1.9.2 and its amazing. and i just updated to SuperD1.9.3 with wes garner's kernel and am using this theme for it. it flies! also, if i were you bro, get that new radio. i read that it helps the signal and i flashed it myself and can agree 100% that it made a difference.

What about release for CM ROM?

O Yes Cant Wait For TheOfficial Rom Version, And If Going To Make A Second Color For This In The Future, Can It Please Be Pink And Black
Keep Up The Tremendous Work
Added TheOfficial AOSP v.2.6.1.
Themed standard apps and "exp_theme" apps, being compatible with Enom's "theme profile"
I need feedback on those versions 'cause i'm not using those roms atm...
Thanks!
First impressions are that this is a wonderful theme. You have clearly done a lot of excellent work to make this look amazing. Thank you -- I will be using this theme as long as you keep making a version for the ROM I use.
Some caveats, though:
1) First boot after flashing took significantly longer than I expected. In the neighborhood of 7 minutes.
2) When the first boot completed and I entered my SIM card's pin number, the phone automatically rebooted. I am not sure why this occurred, but it was the first time I had experienced this on my ROM.
3) This is small, but removing the line above "android" and below "ADWone" on the boot screen may be more aesthetically pleasing.
Since the second boot, I have not had any issues. Excellent work - thank you!
PS, what's the program you're running in the 5th screenshot, that says "Galeria"?
this theme is nice it runs buttery smooth on enomther's AOSP 2.6.1 rom
This is a MetaMorph port of DarkEdge UI 2.2 for the Droid Eris.
It was created by Xeudoxus
Original thread can be found here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/61048-release-darkedge-ui-2-2-a.html
ALL CREDIT GOES TO HIM FOR CREATING THIS AWESOME THEME!!!
It was ported by me (KagedIn), and there were some bits and pieces taken from DarkFroyo, and Asimmons Hero port that had to be used for functionality and text readability.
Thanks to:
------------------------------------
Xeudoxus - for creating this theme!
rycheme - for creating the request thread and helping me bug test
Kaos, Conap, and Tazz - for making the Droid Eris rock!
eklipze - created DarkFroyo which a couple of things are borrowed from
Asimmons - for doing a port for the Hero, a couple of things were borrowed from his port
Daneshm90 - for creating his awesome themeporter
Kovelski over at droid forums - for creating the awesome icons included
Everyone from the request thread - for being so patient!
Also, just so it's clear: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You're doing this by choice. If you follow the instructions it will work.
Instructions:
---------------------------------------------------
1. Before anything else, absolutely: NANDROID BACKUP!!!! ALWAYS NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING/INSTALLING ANY THEME ON YOUR PHONE!
2. Download from the link at the bottom of the post. You can do this with your phone or pc, your choice.
3. Move the zip to your sd card under the folder "AndroidThemes"
4. Open Metamorph and use it to extract "DarkEdgeEris"
5. Apply each .apk individually, you can try to click the apply all but I haven't tested that out.
NOTE: When applying phone.apk it is NORMAL for it to fc. That's why it on the bottom of the list for system apps. If it fc's just click "Force Close" then really quickly try to apply framework-res. Also if your phone reboots when applying framework-res that is normal too.
6. Reboot when finished.
7. If you want to apply any extras, repeat steps 6-8.

Compatibility:
----------------------------------------------
Made for Pure CM6 ROMS
Tested/Working on latest versions of:
CELB Froyo
Floyo Tazz
Nonsensikal
Kaosfroyo
Vanilla Tazz
FroyoShedyo
*Update 1/15/11: This theme was meant for Pure 2.2 ROMs. ROMs such as Vanilla Tazz, Floyo Tazz, and FroyoShedyo which have mixed 2.2 and 2.3 elements and include a non-stock music app are not fully compatible.
I am currently working on getting this fully working on GingerBread.
It is recommened to install the theme on a PURE VANILLA ROM.
If you want a more complete themed launcher, I recommend downloading ADW or ADWex and using the DarkEdge themes found in the market. It'll theme the launcher and includes more icons, and gives it an overall more complete feel.
I personally use LauncherPro, this Metamorph includes a LauncherPro Dock to use with the theme as well as an icon for the app drawer. It will copy these files to your sdcard and will be located in the folder LauncherPro. It also contains a font file which will change your system font.
This will work with ADW, the Notification bar should be semi-transparent but it wont be the fully transparent with the scanlines (ran into an issue trying to create a fix for this) Also if anyone wants the solid black notification bar PM me.
All system apps already contain the icons made by Kovelski for DarkEdge UI orignal thread can be found here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/48683-release-kovicon-hybrid-icon-pack.html

I'm really excited for this theme! I'm going to wait a little longer for the minor bugs to be worked out. (I use the browser and music app a lot, lol)
Thanks to everyone who brought this theme to the endangered Eris.

Excellent !!!!
Can't thank you enough for porting this over. Will load it up later this morning.
Screenies would be awesome.
There are screenies in my request thread, you're welcome to use them here Kagedin. I would like the other system app icons, I can test them for you.

Are we stuck with just one color for now? or can I grab another color DE theme from droidforums?
*edit*
Flashed this over Nonsensikal Black and Blue with no issues.
It did reboot when applying the google search theme, but upon reboot the theme was successfully applied. I did not have to re apply for any to stick.

The browser and music app work perfectly fine, the only bug with the music app isn't really a bug, if you go to the DarkEdge gallery the music app has the shuffle and repeat down by the music controls, but in this port the repeat and shuffle stay in the top corner that's what I meant by layout doesn't match I know it has to do with the xml's, I just don't know how to edit them correctly.

Cool! Thanks for trying it out on Nonsensikal hope you're enjoying it!
About the colors, for now we're stuck with only one color, the default gold. Once I smooth out all the bugs as I can with this one then I'll think about porting other colors. I won't port all the colors though, I figured if I get enough requests for a specific color I'll do that one. Just to get this one was a LOT of work lol, a lot more than I expected for sure.
Anyways thanks for trying this out guys hope you're enjoying it!
The only problem I've found so far is picking a contact in the MMS apk. The font is dark and the background as well so you can't see what (or who) your choosing.
Other than that....so far.....rockin.
I see what you mean about the phone, the selectors are a little small also, but definately not a deal breaker.
Great work.......I believe you when you say "a lot of work", for sure!!
Wow nice catch on the mms didn't even know about that haha I'll get started on a fix lol

I figured as much. If and when you get to colors I'd be grateful if either blue or green gets ported over. Or if you want if you point me to some reading on how to port the theme I'll work on getting the colors to work while you smooth out what we have so far.
I absolutely like how it looks and fits on my phone now, I can't wait to see more polish.
Yeah my favorite colors for the theme were gold and blue so most likely that'd be next.
The biggest issue I'd have with porting other colors is a number of .9.pngs that I couldn't resize our remake had to be borrowed from asimmons port which is orange and it's close enough to gold that I could get away with it for this, but for the others I'd end up having to find a better way to resize them or, most likely, end up having to make them from scratch.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a good/easier way to resize 9 patch images it'd be much appreciated. I've already tried themeporter but not everything resized and I couldn't get asimmons theme injector to work.

Yea looking at the original DE request thread I don't see much in the way of compatibility/ support for CM6 which is what alot of what the ROMS out for the eris are right now.
If you are having issues with the color of some icons, check these out. Maybe for the time being anyway you can make them an alt icon set for the theme.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I flashed this over KaosFroyo v38 without any problems. The only issue I have noticed is that the text in the status bar is still black making the clock and any other text there not show up. Besides that and the other know issues it looks great.

Use the Cyanogen mod settings to change them to whatever color you want.
My colors vote would be for any of the cool colors - green, blue, or purple I've been running just about everything on the phone and haven't noticed any hiccups or issues. I'll definitely keep an eye out.
As for the remaining system icons, I'll be happy to test them for you so you can include it in the metamorph .zip. I do use CarHome, Email, and GTalk.

Easiest way I've found is to use the apktool from the android sdk. It will keep the .9 barriers intact. Use gimp to scale the image and run it through the 9patch tool in sdk. Your images should retain their shape 100% when your done. Its a bit of a PIA, but works!

Here is a theme I've been working on for the last few weeks or so. It's built over top of the Paragon rc6 Blue Theme that was originally made by eSPyeL and then themed blue by Bentonhall. Nearly everything in the notification bar and dropdown are completely originaly work by myself. It also features a new bootanimation that I put together.
I assume this would work with other ROMs (Paragon rc6 is JS3 based). If you try it on something else, please let me know if it works or not. I can also work on ports if there's interest.
My main hope was to make something somewhat different than other themes (so it didn't look like a copy) and to make all indicators very obvious (boxy). I wanted something simple and clean looking but still be visually appealing. I personally liked it, so I now share it with you. Hope you enjoy!!!
If anyone has suggestions for later versions (colors or variations on icons), let me know. I don't intend to theme any apps (I'll leave those to the actually good themers ). I hope to later release a "Rectangular Red", "Orthogonal Orange", and "Gerpendicular Green" (if someone's got some better names, I'm open to suggestions ). Let me know what colors you'd want first and I'll try to satisfy the masses (assuming there's more than just me interested in this theme!).
Changes:
1.1 to 1.2
Newer dropdown button icons (cleaner)
Black notification bar
New pulldown menu bottom
Updated themed dialer
Themed Settings.apk
Updated Go Launcher Theme (v2.1)
1.0 to 1.1
Themed unlock screens
Newer dropdown button icons
Removed text under dropdown buttons
Themed dialer
Several tweaks to the notification icons
Go Launcher Theme (Made some icon backgrounds--5 random colors--see screen shots. You need to have Go Launcher Ex for this to work.)
Future Changes?
Themed Contacts
Boxy Blue Theme v1.2
Screen Shots in the second post!
Thanks goes to:
eSPyeL for the ROM/theme this is based off of
Bentonhall for suggestions and putting up with my constant questions!

Theme update
Due to the lack of responses to this theme, I've tried to spruce it up! I've re-done a lot and added some more elements.
Please take a look and I'd love some feedback (again, please be gentle since this is still a work in progress and the continuation of my first attempt at a theme)!
For those who care, I just posted an update to the theme. There's a good chance I'll move to a different ROM since Paragon is stagnant. Perhaps I'll get with the times and try out one of those new fangled gingerbread ROMs.
Again, comments would be very welcome to let me know what I've done right/wrong. I still plan to theme whatever ROM I use (at least for my personal enjoyment), so I'd like to know what others think.
I just tried downloading the update, I couldnt get the link to work. Could be my browsers. I did try on a few and nothing. Awesome to hear its updated, that was quick and ill be sure to test it out if I can get it downloaded. I to will be movin on as other roms arise. But ill always find my way back to Paragon some how, hope for an update in the future.

I just tried the link and it's acting a little goofy for me as well. I'll repost a new multiupload link here in a sec.
On another note, I've been on CM7 the last few days and have enjoyed it. I would like to try to make a theme for that. We'll see if CM7 feels as stable as Paragon has been .
Alright, try the link now.
Very nice! It's good to see more options out there so we can dress up our cappys.
Alright I got it, will be testing it out soon. I just know it will be good.

I could work on one. Which GB ROM are you using? It might take a little while, but I'll get it done. I want to try my hand at a CM7 theme, but since they use the theme changer, they're a bit different (anyone have experience making a CM7 theme apk?).
Also, if you like the theme, would you mind bumping up the thread rating? It seems someone hit it with a 2 star rating without leaving any sort of comment why. It can be a little discouraging.

What's up CapnPez, hey I use CM7 and just wanted to pass on that there are also themes that are in zip format and can be flashed from CWM3. While the theme Chooser is pretty sweet, there are other flashable themes as well. Just wanted to pass it on!

Thanks, that's cool to know. Do you know if there are any limitations to the theme chooser (things that can be done through flashing a zip but can't be done with the chooser)?
I'm also assuming that a flashable zip theme from another GB rom would be incompatible with cm7, right? (so making a zip cm7 theme wouldn't help for making one that would work with, say, gr-12 or something?) I'd like to make a chooser theme apk because the huge convenience when using cm7.
I'm still learning with the newer stuff (not that I'm a master of the froyo stuff), so I might need to spend some time on the q & a section .

I'm not sure. I know the developer of the matted blues theme wont make an apk version for theme Chooser..and I'm not positive but I think it has something to do with the updates and compatibility. And yeah your right, you could probably get away with a Ginger theme for JVB because a lot of gingerbread ROMs use that..however, CM7 is completely different and would probably need a different script or whatever.

Hi all!
I have recently been playing around with the Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread (aka GingerSense) ROMs, and had to of course port (and improve) my original PCB Sense Theme from days ago. I have been testing it myself for quite a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all GingerSense XDA users.
Couple of things to note:
This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Sense scheme, but want something unique
The file is a 7.7mb signed .APK created using apk-manager 4.9 for Sense 2.1...I may make a Sense 3.0 port if there is enough demand (need to play with .m10 editing still)
It is installable on HDPI devices only by simply copying to your device and running, and is uninstallable by Titanium Backup, or applying another Skin in Sense, and highlighting PCB Sense, then MENU --> DELETE...it doesn't appear in "Settings --> Applications", but why would you want to uninstall it anyways?
I have edited a poopload of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...I believe this may be one of the few Sense themes out there which attempts to skin >90% of resource images (I may be wrong, but still)
I tested (and approved of) this theme on my Desire (Bravo) running LeeDrOiD v3.3.1 and InsertCoin GB
The font used in all screenshots is "Ubuntu", however "Storopia" also compliments the skin nicely
The font used to make the custom clock widget is "OPTICBOT"
This theme took me about 55-60 hours to complete
I've seen some other mods/ports of my theme before, and while I am a believer in sharing and caring, it would be nice if you asked/PM'ed me before using my theme for any other purpose than your own enjoyment. I'm a nice dood, I promise, and it's good to give credit where it's due!
If you'd like to buy me a beer, coffee, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)
Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)

Select your desired colour to download:
PCB Sense Green (7.7mb)

Note: If you're downloading on a handheld browser and the file is saved with a '.bin' extension, simply rename it to '.apk'
if you like it...that's up to you!

Heya retrosling, if you mean when you are in the "Phone" app, then yes, some images may not be fully skinned, but this is a limitation of the HTC Sense Skin .apk format itself. Note that there are no flashable .zips needed to use this theme, and that should allow it to be installed on multiple devices (with Sense 2.1 of course).
To skin many other components means that I would have to build a flashable .zip which modifies 'framework-res.apk', 'com.htc.resources.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', and since these are based on certain ROMs, and can therefore be unique, I chose not to go that route for this theme (the logistics/maintenance of handling all bases/versions/ROM-specific customizations for these 3 .apks would be a nightmare of time consumption!)
Believe me, that I skinned nearly every single PNG that would allow it. The only ones missing (for now) would be for landscape support. Once we start getting more GingerSense ROMs with landscape homescreens, I will be adding them though. Good thing for updating is that you'd just have to re-download the .apk (same exact link/filename), and the .XML file defines that it's a newer version, then your phone should ask you if you want to update it. Super clean this .apk Skin route.
To everyone else who offered your great comments/feedback, thank you very much!! It's great to see others enjoying the benefits of the hard work it took to put together this theme!
All the best.
Just tried this on Robocik's v1.2 a2sd cm7 hboot and it does not seem to work.
Have I missed something?
Amazing.
I will say that I have allways found the backdrops you pick very distracting and make the icons hard to see, but then I am addicted to the glactic core live wallpaper - you should try it with the pcb sense - it really ties the screen theme together!
One thing I miss from the old PCB theme is the green circuit board buttons, but then I am sure I will get used to this... (see attached for what I mean)
perhaps an option in the future?
Again, Thanks!!!
Warmly, Marty

Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?
Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.
Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work

Thanks Marty, this one was for you Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly
I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).
Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...
@scar45
Just checked again and it had loaded ok.
Must have been impatient first time.
Looks really cool with great detailing.
Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.
Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.
I will feedback any problems.
Thanks for your reply

In terms of your top and bottom bits, if you are able to upload a screenshot that might help, but otherwise I'm not too sure which part you're talking about.

Hey Scar,
Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)
and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -
It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.
So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -
You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.
Warmly, Marty
ps: I will be making a donation in the next week or so, but don't let that influence you in any way.. (ie its not a bribe - you bloody deserve it!) HOWEVER please don't spend it on smokes mate - I have lost both parents to cancer a few years ago, and we just buried my partners mother who also died last week from lung cancer. - only telling you this cause I care ok!

Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.
I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know )

Great to hear it works for you ericb, thanks for following up to report that.
In terms of your top and bottom bits, if you are able to upload a screenshot that might help, but otherwise I'm not too sure which part you're talking about.

Sorry to be unclear.
I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.
Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.
This Skin is the ****! Incredible Work!
Can you also make a Sense 3.0 Skin?

Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?
Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.
Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.

Eternal Blues [Theme]
OK, till I update this OP fully, u can grab the latest test zips of 'Eternal Blues' here:
For r116-no trace keyboard (not my fault):

And for earlier builds -with trace kb (arrows):
http://db.tt/q5DKZT8b
....And here's the older theme for SynergyRom; Synergy Blues
****DOWNLOAD****
Get the latset test zip here:

[...ntions.info/modules.php?name=Downloads&cid=15 (updated last 9/9/11)
****the DOWNLOAD button is on the bottom right of each window...
***Reminder.... There are currently two versions; the Standard (circle battery), and the Stock-Style Battery version (rectangle).
****for dak181's mods, go to his section four posts down****
This is a full theme that's ambition is simple; turning all instances of color thru-out the entire ROM, including many common user apps, to various shades of blue. This project will be on-going; as I get better at theming so will the theme get better. I make no claims of complete originality, as some images have been swyped from other themes (if u see ur work, please claim it so that i can credit or pull it) That said, most work is my own (in as much as modifications of someone else's work -HTC's- can be called ones "own" ) I also need to thank Gunthermic, whom I continue to bug daily with my incessant questions, lol. Thnks gun! Also can't forget about TommyTomatoe, whom has helped me tremendously in the last two weeks. (Thnx to him I can again edit .9.png's, and xml's as well) Also bad4u6669, he's also helped me on many occasions (actually this theme is kinda inspired by bad4u's work on Epidemic ....thnks bro!) .. ***Edit: thnx to bad4u6669 I am now able to theme all of Sense (.....as long as he keeps building my mods, lol!) ...and last but not least a special Thnx to McLabia for giving me a hassle free place to host and advertise my work. I am very, very grateful brother!

tommytomatoe- (constant advice and patience. Special Thnx for your great theming tool; 'android Utility')
McLabia- (Server provision, always super helpful and patient ...in a MC kinda way, lol)

Later when I flash the 8-12 build I'll see how this works.

Heads up this installs and everything seems to work on 8-12 build of synergy aside from HTC calender widget it seems to have nuked it entirely lol.
I installed the stock battery version.
CANNOT wait for that sexy drop down.
Any luck doing the menus? Like when hitting menu from homescreen and other menus like for gmail?

Lol, cool, at least its just the calender. I'll look at it in a bit.
Yeah, I'm at a stand-still with that dropdown. I'm just waiting for some bright idea ....or gunthermic to figure out. I gotta talk to him again.
Wut about the 'menu's? U mean the getting all the icons to match? That's proven to be one of the more challenging things. I've themed all those icons that those should be drawing from.... Ima take another look tonight. I'll definitely get them. Just takes time ....it bugs me too. I think its just this new Sense. I'll ask gun.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Or do u mean inverting them like the I plan to do w/ the dropdown? Cuz that's actually next!
That's why I haven't been working hard to make all those icons match. They'll need changed anyway for the dark bg ....coarse I plan on doing two versions of those ......like most things so I'll havta to both anyway
.....yeah, I still got a TON of work to do!
Haha I can only imagine the work involved, i'm sure its quite intense.
I was referring to when you hit menu and all apps, notifications, personalize, wallpaper, ringtones and settings comes up in the little "6 spaced grid".
Sorry probably have terminology all wrong ! Either way I know it takes time, just excited about what's to come because this adds alot of class to this already nicely themed wrong already on 1st revision.
BTW I tried messing with both htc calender widget apk's and couldn't get it to work again.
Not that I know much beyond moving things to system/apps and changing permissions lol.
That looks Stoopd SECXEE Bruh..More Blue w/icons, Contacts and Dialer pad would be ideal.

Try pulling 'Calendar.apk' from the theme zip and reflash. U won't notice a difference without that one anyway. Just put on ur desktop, open with 7zip, go to /system/app/Calendar.apk and delete.
If that doesn't work ...or u just don't feel like it, I'll have an update soon. By morning prolly
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
U can also delete 'htccalendarwidgets.apk' and possibly HtcProfileWidgets.apk without noticing a diff. I'll put updated versions into the next update
I'd try deleting the first two calendar APKs first, but like i said, ill be doing that ltr tonight or this morning.
If u just delete Calendar.apk and report bak ull potentially save me a bunch of work ....but I know it sux waiting thru whole that flashing so if u just wanna wait, that's cool too

Thnx bro. Yeah I've got some other things slated first ...like finding all instances of green, orange, etc. and eradicating it, lol ...then just getting all buttons and highlights smooth like the one in the dropdown. Then I gotta touch sum more widgets
.....and finally, I'll be doing variations on the theme, with one being sumthing very similar to wut u suggest ...just remind me down the road. But in general, yeah more blue is on the way

Yes, I know 'where' u mean. I'm sorry, I don't understand 'what' u want done.
I'll say this: I plan on making both a dark and light version ....also one with blue highlights; dark or light, I haven't decided ...maybe both. I also may make completely different icons rather than modify the existing ones.
If u guys can be more specific as to what u'd like to see in the theme, then I could better accommodate u.
If u all are something u like in another theme that u'd like to see here, please try to provide screenshots or links so that I see exactly wut u mean. I can't say whether I'll use it or whether it'll be exactly the same. I like to make things my own, but I'm also not one for changing sumthin just to be different either. If there's no room for improvement, then I'll keep it as-is.
And if anyone has work that they've done that they think would look good here, please post it and I'll see about incorporating it or atleast adding as an add-on
Just something darker really, I love the black menu from cm7 and from DH, it doesnt have to be black though.
As far as the calender widget I think I already tried everything I could do apk wise in an attempt to fix it. It's no biggy though man, I can wait

No, I just fixed it ....hold on a min, I don't like the color tho. I'll post it in about 45mins
It's just a new 3d cal, that's all
See here its up n workin:
I'm decompiling now so I can change some xml's to get it all blue. Either the red in the calender picture up top is controlled by an xml or its not in the apk ...either way, I'll get the little bastard
