So I just ordered a MyTouch and once I get it and figure it out I should be able to make my theme available for those of you that use [insert most popular ROM name here] so we will see. I like fresh off the bus noob with the MyTouch so Im gonna need a day to catch up on this newfangled device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540422
Theme looks nice! Oh, and welcome to the dark side, myTouch that is! Hehe. Anyways, I think the most popular ROM is Cyans thus far. Though, I think the stock ROM is the fastest, problem is it uses odex files and I'm not sure anyone knows how to modify them. If they do, they dont share.
BTW, how'd you get the donut power control widget? I've been trying to figure it out but cant. I know it lies in Settings.apk but everytime I port what I think I need someting else gets messed up!
it would be nice to have this theme for ADP 1.6 DRC83
thanks guis
Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

When is someone going to port sense onto the droid? I just got my droid after a screw up where verizon sent me the eris, and i had to put up with it for 2 weeks. I love sense, but the hardware of the eris was terrible. HTC needs to step up there hardware. I tryed openhome with 2 different themes, one was good, but it forced closed sooooo much it i couldnt use it. I tryed aHome, same problem. Im not sure how safe rooting is, and i really dont want to mess up my phone. What is the best hero rom or theme for the droid? Has any one ported sense ui onto the droid? I mean, i know its possible. I would be willing to root my phone if there are any good roms/themes availible. Also, what are some good roots out there? Ive seen it on so many devices EXCEPT the droid! Im currently running GDE with the hero theme, and it works well, certainly the best ive used, but the only difference is the conversation widget, bar at the bottom, and 7 home screens. Still stuck with all the boring stock android widgets. I want to see sense run on a droid. I want it on MY droid. Thanks in advance.

.......what does this have to do with android themes?
I just thought this was the best place to put it. If it needs to be moved, move it. I didn't see any catagories that it fit in better, and it discusis themes.
I don't know maybe Android Development since you are looking at rooting and booting a new rom on your phone? Just a thought.
sense has been ported, check out the alldroid.org forums, but some vital things such as battery do not work (it must be plugged in)
this might have been fixed tho... idk check it out.
u might have to click on a dev's username in that forum, try eugene373.

it's not a theme. it's a complete rom. which is not a theme. which would mean it does not belong in the themes section. which this is.

Panda Home also has got got reviews on the Droid versus Open Home. I haven't looked into what would be needed to change to theme the Music and Power widgets for their themes yet, thats the only thing they dont import from the Open Home themes.
Is there any chance someone could port the theme found here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745854 (I am a new user, can't post links)
over to the eris. I tried to see if it would work without changing anything and my phone got stuck in an endless boot-loop. I am in love with the theme. Thanks.
If you know how to mess with the sering and stuff with your computer I think the maker of white widow says how he got it to work on his rom in his thread, I might be wrong though.

The only thing working for me are the widget themes. When I try flashing anything else it puts my phone into a boot-loop, and the only way to fix it is to go into recovery and do a restore.
You do need Launcherpro plus to get the widgets, then applying the theme to them should be no problem.
If anyone was able to find that "simpltext" doc them please let me know because I searched on the makers website and found nothing, thanks.

This happens sometimes. What you need to do is go back into Metamorph and choose pick existing theme. Scroll through till you get to the XML file and tap that and it should give you the choices to theme which app(s). Thanks to RangeStang for giving me this pointer. Hope it helps you too.

asking for it is weak, but 10 pounds isn't that much. if you were to cut the cost between 3 or 4 people it would be relatively cheap, make everyone's devices look super clean, and save someone else the hastle of trying to port.
i really like this theme. what i'd LIKE to do is speak to some devs who have experience modifiying Sense, etc. (e.g. Konikub, the original dev for Aloysius). Sense with a modified Rosies and the full Minimal Matte theme throughout all Sense apps would be badnasty.
seriously, i think i could go to a bar, pull my phone out, and have sex with the best looking girl at the bar as a result.
usually a phone won't get you laid, but in this case it might!

haha... nice... i'm sure we have enough people that want it and would donate a little here and there... I'm trying to find out if I can accomplish this myself first... there is a theme converter in the Android development section and I'm seeing if can be used... then I would share of course!
I don't get it, I used the minimal matte MM and got everything except the icons (which is fine by me). What ROM are you using?

the MM doesn't skin the Launcher Pro Plus widgets... that is what I want the most of all from that theme... i got the framework from the MM(except the status bar didn't work...) but i really want those widgets...
wasn't able to port it correctly.... sorry.... going back to the MM... that seemed to work the best for me...
I haven't tried pushing the apk's yet... so thats my next attempt
has anyone else tried pushing the widget apk's and if so, did you succeed? If you're using Apps2SD where do you push to?
Hey, I'm having a similar problem. I found a CM6 build for Eris, then used MM to put on the theme since it wasn't working on my KaosFroyo ROM.
I have the status bar and notifications working great with it, but I can't figure out how to get the widgets and the icons.
I cant find one anywhere....well i found this one, but when i flash it, it goes back to cm6.0...doesnt stay to cm6.0.2, shoot, id even take that one, anything beats the stock theme!!! remember, im looking for a Flash theme. i dont like using side apps to make a theme, just because it takes up memory, kinda like "winterboard" for iphone. and 2nd, its an aria...the phone is awesome, just wish it had that nexus one performance!

I think you want to look for ADW.Launcher themes and they are different for the 2.2 android version. ADW has released 3 or 4 on there web site.
agreed im looking for a good flashable theme as well...not something to use through adw launcher....besides i modified my zip rom and i use laucher pro...wich doest have themes...so if anyone knows of a place to find flash themes please share it

Np, I share your pain.
I've been searching high and low for themes and nothing. There's only one and it's called extreme blue. If you want the link I can dig it up for ya. It's not a flashable theme it's a whole ROM install.

Give it just a few more weeks! Since the stable build of CM has been out, its not too far behind that someone will have some decent themes. I am learning, and going to work on 1 myself.
It's sad that there is sooo much support for themes in other forums.
Agreed other phones are getting plenty of theme love...but the aria just ain't getting it....but hopefully it will soon

I agree it's an ok theme, I grew tired of it pretty quick. I've attempted to contact creators of other themes that I like that are avaliable for the G1 but no replies. I guess not too many people have the Aria.
well whatever you guys figure out. i wish it looked like bx-destiny.but instead of orange and black...what about a deep blood red color. anyways...i loaded it on one of the earlier alpha releases of cm6, but there is no wipe to answer or the end call button....weird...i guess not set up for the aria, which is nothing but a touch-screen. anyways....if anyone could figure out if we could get that theme for our phones, i think id stop *****ing about themes. id like a professional/fun look to it w/ black widgets like google search since i use that thing like underwear. any help would be greatly appreciated. and there has to be the "Aria Samaritan" somewhere right???
right then, ill pray for the Aria Saint who creates this theme.....

I so agree I too like and installed the Bx-destiny by LordSeth theme on a earlier version of cm6 for the Aria and had the same issues, with the newest cm6 release it doesn't work at all. I even posted complaining and asking if there is any plans to release a Aria version and got no answer. The creator doesn't seem to know english very well either. I would really love to see that theme on the Aria. I'm ok with the orange, red would look nice and so would a nice blue. I'm not picky!
