BLACK HOLE
This is my latest theme for the Epic, and will most probably be the last before Froyo is out. I'm not sure the framework changes in Froyo, but I assume it will be no trouble to port all of my themes over to Froyo after the release. I hope you enjoy!
First you need to root

lookin good! only thing i would say is package a different wall paper in the mix. the dark blue icons dont play well with dark wallpapers. i would also say whip up a dock to match and youve got it!
Doc bar is in the works. So are plenty more extras.

do you know how the battery life on a stock deodexed di18 is compared to a custom deodexed rom. I really want to flash your theme. Also, does crake001 for the battery percentage mod work with stock deodexed and your theme?
i'm new to the android world but was successful with changing themes on my iphone. please help me by giving me step by step on how to apply this theme. i already downloaded to my samsung epic but is stuck there.

I haven't played around with too many roms to compare battery life. I carry two batteries and don't really worry about it. I didn't do the battery in percentages on this one. It is on the list for the future. Right this second I'm using a blue battery widget. Flashing my theme over crake's battery percentage will erase his mod, but it might be possible to copy my framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. I'm not sure though. Keep checking back and the percentage mod will end up on here.

Alright, first you need to download the one click root method and one click clockworkmod recovery if you haven't done that yet. The next step is you need to choose a rom that is deodexed, or download the stock di18 deodexed rom and flash the zip in clockworkmod recovery. You cannot theme the stock rom that comes on your phone, it must be deodexed so you don't run into force closed issues. Once your rom is booted and running, just boot back into recovery and apply blackhole.zip. That isn't the basic as the instructions get if you need more help, pm me and I'll go into further detail, as well as provide you with links to everything you need. Everything you need is available here at xda. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

having some trouble with this theme i have tried it on the galaxy rom by noobnl and the epic experience and on both right after i flash it the browser,contacts,and messaging icons disappear.
Sorry to hear that! I haven't tested either of these roms with the theme. The only rom I ever themed besides stock di18 deodexed was andromeda. I'll contact a few people and find out if there is something I can change in the theme to fix this. I'll pm you with anything I find out and update the OP to let others know. Once again, sorry about that! I believe when apps dissappear like that it has something to do with noticing a change in the md5sum. So I'm guessing that I'll have to sign those apps individually to fix but I'll wait for some confirmation before having you flash a mistake again.

I found the root of the problem dealing with the theme erasing half the system apps out of the phone on flash. I re-worked the apps and just successfully flashed over Frontier GS 3.0 rom, but I know it will work finally because I had the aosp magic rom and my theme deleted all the apps on there as well. It was because I was still theming apps from the dg07 build instead of using the ones from di18. Since I was using stock di18 deodexed, for some reason the apps still took but when I flashed any rom at XDA, the results were bad. I will update the OP and post as soon as I post the fix. Sorry for any inconvenience anyone has suffered.
Theme is fixed, link is updated enjoy!
Theme update! I have been real busy but haven't stopped working on the theme. The dialer colors will be adjust next!
Included now is a fix for the power control widget where you can actually see the buttons. Also the camera is themed now, here are some pics:
**Notice in the pictures the button to switch from camera to camcorder is lighter than the rest, that was fixed before upload, they should all be the same.
Also I themed Tapatalk pro on my phone. Since so many people use it, I'll help anyone who wants their version to match. I'll supply the drawable-hdpi folder and show you how to copy it in.
wow awesome work! Where is that power control widget? does it live in another apk?
edit: I think I just found it in the settings.apk (?)
Yeah settings.apk, just pull out the pngs for the widget or you'll get the other colors as well

Make sure you backup before flashing in case something goes wrong. I am not responsible in any way if you brick your phone. You accept all risk that comes with flashing your phone.
With this theme I decided to go for a more genuine GB look. Which is why there are more files to flash. Also after some trial and error and help from people around the forum I finished my bootanimation.
Here are some GB themed apps. These are not required for the theme to work but do make the theme look good as a whole. *note the Dialer were pulled from Serendipity and can be found on the Serendipity site.
All of the files are Clockwork Mod flashable except the "Icons and Dock.zip"
*NOTE*
This theme will not change the look of your launcher. There are Gingerbread styled icons and dock attached if you want to theme your launcher. This is not a CWM file. Download it, unzip it and pick what you want.

Guide to Themeing
The attached guide is information I use to theme the Cognition ROMs. If there is additional information that you would like to know you can ask me and I'll try to answer.
Honeycomb Theme
Attached is the Honeycomb theme that received of 70% of the vote in the poll. This Honeycomb theme has been ported from PuffinNugz's theme he created.
*UPDATE
The battery icons in PuffinNugz's theme didn't port over properly. I tried everything I could think of to get them to work but could not. So what I have done is recolor the GB battery icons to match the blues in the rest of the HC theme.
*Note
If you want your lock screen to look like the one in the screenshot you have to use the puzzle lock in the settings.
Hmmm, I'm using Cog. 3.03 and it seems that this theme only changed certain properties of the theme. For example the notification bar is from this theme, but when in settings or any other menu, the font color and type is still from my previous theme.
Otherwise great work, thanks

I observed this as well during testing. I had flashed one of the other themes available to Cog3 and found that after applying my theme that certain things were still unchanged. This is due to the apps such as settings, dialer, browser and so forth were also themed by the developer. My theme only changes the framework and twframework files in the rom itself. Not in each individial app...for now.
Ahhhh, I see. So I'm guessing that flashing a fresh copy of Cog. 3.03 and applying your theme should work?
Thanks.

You are correct. I will start working on themeing the apps later on in my free time to get the overall GB look with a little of my own customization.

Cog2 uses JI6/JJ4 framework.
Cog3 is based of the Rogers 2.2 and uses JL1 framework. Other users tried to use my other GB theme on Cog3 and it didn't work. So I made one that would. Supply and demand is what will drive my themes mostly.

Which one of the Cog2 themes are you referring to? I know there are differences in the extended power menu and the status bar pull down. I'm not aware at anything else blatantly different. The reason behind the icons being different is that I didn't have new icons when I made for first two themes. If there is a request to update the old themes with the newer icons I will update them. Like I said before supply and demand.

I suppose I should have specified in the OP (will fix). The icon and dock zip file is just that, a zip file. download it and unzip the file to see the icons and dock. You will have to manually apply each one.

Must be too complex for me. My phone looks NOTHING like yours
Thanks a lot I've been wanting to change the toggle icons in the notification tray on my perception theme for a while. I loved yours (but I changed the unpressed ones a tiny bit) and now it looks amazing, thanks for sharing!

hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on what am about to ask.
i have just cooked up a rom on Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen,XWJS7_Wipe-v9_8_1, with most of all aps,all is working fine,plus installed 1 of Generation X Themes CY with boot,all good.
my question is,is there a way to put the 5 lock screens which i did have with darkys 9.3 final ?
if so how would some one like myself go about doing this,would it be a simple apk install for lock screens.
really sorry if this has been asked before,but could not find anything about it.plus i couldnt post in the dev part as not got over 10 posts
i dont like to spam and prefer to do some reading,which really does help.really starting to understand the android,first 1 loads of fun so far.plus a few tense moments aswell
thankyou for all the time you guys make the phone as cool as can be.
I'm pretty sure that's theme related. I guess if you changed your theme to the one from darky's rom you would get your 5 lockscreens back.
As to how: I have no Idea, there's probably a description in the design and themes section.
good luck
Download the Stockmod plus theme, it's basically just the lock screens and tyhe extended power menu, it works fine with docs rom, I'm running it myself.
edit. I just re-read your post and you already have a theme, this one woudl replace that.
I use it and just apply my own settings with launcherpro to make my dersktop look nice.
yeah theme is installed and i have 4 unlock screens,but would like to get that 5th 1,rotary i believe.
Small update to what i have tried to do.
1 found the keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock_land.xml in other themes.
2 copied them over to the Generation_X_v2.0CY_JPUXY_JS3_NOBOOT.zip
3 flashed in cwm but didnt work
never mind
You need to flash a theme which has it built in. I know black android does and it works great with a cooked rom.
Looks awesome too.

There are a few tiny bugs that i know of but everything works. The biggest is vibration on/off in the pull down menu works but the button doesnt switch on off. (EDIT SQUASHED) The rest really arent bugs just small visual things that bug me.
The usual disclaimer
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, flash at your own risk!
DO NOT flash on anything but EE03 with noCIQ
I have only used this on the stock EE03 rom, If your using ptfdmedics beta-ish midnight 6.0 please post how it works for others to read. I guessing it should work fine(EDIT WORKS FINE)
Instructions
no CIQ required follow flashing instructions for that here

I just wanted to say thank you! I love the theme... I have been on EE03 since it came out (thank you to ACS and the whole team over there) and I was coming from the Cynox theme on EC05 (which I loved)(thank you IMPuLSe EX) and this is right in that same vein. I also wanted to attach some screenshots and also mention that when I flashed the TW Lockscreen (here)(thank you p3dr0maz) I got a pretty cool result! (Screenshot also attached)
EDIT: I attached screenshots after flashing 2.1, the new SMS/MMS icon and Phone icon are great, and the Dialer is really sharp!!!
EDIT: I attached screenshots after flashing 2.2, the few things that were updated are fantastic. In the notification drawer the sound/vibrate toggle is fixed (AWESOME), there is a very cool new blue glow on the bottom drawer bar (also AWESOME) and the keyboard looks outstanding!!!

Backup before hand. You can just flash another theme/rom but that can be hit or miss as it could have things it doesn't replace. Backup is best bet.

Make a Nandoid backup to restore if you don't like the theme you flash. Otherwise flash the ROM again to reset it.

In love with zhis theme my friend. Glad to see you're not stopping development because half finished roms.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
After some delay i can now finally release my theme. It's not finished yet, but allmost
This is NOT for any Froyo rom. It's for FroYo (with capital y). It's a rom Goku ported. other roms like froyd, floyo etc. will NOT work.
Will update the OP more later
Install instructions:
1) Download the zips. Unpack the CMTheme.zip and place the xml in a folder named CMTheme on ur SD. Place the other one in the root of your SD (in no folder).
2) Boot into recovery
3) Wipe cache and dalvik
4) Flash the zip
5) Reboot
6) Go to Settings/CM settings/User interface/ Tweaks extras/ select theme and select ICS
About the ICS Pack: This is not a flashable zip, extract it
This one includes some stock wallpapers and some other ICS style wallpapers. It also includes the stock dock background, the same which are used in my screenies. The dock icons included are NOT stock ICS icons, they are the ones I've used my screenies. If you want stock icons it's easier to download a icon pack for your launcher. If you want more dock icons like I use, make them with the app Simple Text from Market, it's really easy
Changelog:
4/1: Added a .zip with some wallpapers and such. (xda is bugging so i can't upload, u'll have to wait. Look at page 2 for one wallpaper and dock background
27/12: Added some reaaally nice stuff, let's all admire the settings.
Looks realy cool, ty for making it, going to check it right away.
Cheers. Will give it a try later.
