Color Me Android - Android Themes

So some of you may or may not remember a little old blog called Color Me Android from back in the day that was a screenshot based site. Well, it went down some months ago, and that was that. However. I tried to put a theme on my phone the other day (It's supposed to be so simple with the theme chooser, yeah?). Unfortunately, because it's so easy with CM7 and MIUI theme engines, that themes are EVERYWHERE. It takes you about a bloody hour just to find one.
So, I brought CMA back.
As a theme site.
It's a visual directory of all CM7/MIUI/ADW - type themes. It's in Open Alpha, and I'm inviting people to come, register, sign in, submit screenshots (Yes, I kept the orignal screenshot part of the site there) and help me find bugs while I finish adding themes. I've got 45 on the site so far. And I'm working my way down that ginormous list of themes that stickied in this forum.
So yeah.
Thoughts/comments/bugs?
or themes you want to see on the site? Tell me below.
http://colormeandroid.com

Sweet man thanks for bringing this back. Its great to have a easier way of finding themes and such.

sick idea. i'll deff be there alot as long as all the themes from miui get added there and lockscreens. =]

Once you register and log in there's a submit screenshot link that pops up so you can submit and view screenshots (a glorified 'post your homescreen' thread - but it's just like old school cma [hopefully])

I already have the "official" themes there, and I'm going through the miuiandroid forums to find more. It's gonna take a while to catch up.
Also - I am looking for people to help me add themes. So if you're interested, respond

I like it very much!
Here are some themes I personally use that I would like to see added
EpicBlue N Bold
R3D's Themes
Thanks! This is a great idea

Sorry, to prevent spam screenshots are sent in as a draft, and have to published by an editor (me). Otherwise people would just fill the form with crap. And it hasn't been notifying me, so I apologize for that. Also - the syntax for posting an image is the image tag in html not bbcode
so
Code:
<img src="url to image">
not
Code:
[img]url to image[/img]

Indeed you did. I can always go in and edit it, but it's nice for the people to know what they're doing. Especially since I'm the only admin/editor for the alpha. That way if I change something, I don't have to worry about telling other people about it

i was wondering what happened to u..i havent seen you around in abit.
i was cleaning out my drive and i found that sig you made for me about a year and change ago lol.

really like the ui of your site, seems user friendly for theme users to interact without searching for hours

That's the idea! Also going to add instructions for the various things. How to get CM7/MIUI on your device, how to blah blah. And whatnot. One stop theming, hopefully.

Glad to see you're back! I actually found you guys through custom android, or AE, any idea what happened to those guys?
Thanks for all your hard work.

AH. I got my new phone and then went to your site to find some nice styles but noticed its changed a bit.
Am right in thinking the old site was more customised home screens than themes?.......If so is there anyway to see them again because thats what I really liked. People saying what widgets they used and custom graphics to make cool buttons etc.
But still the site is good! Maybe have an option to go back to the old version aswell?

Yes, it used to be a screenshot based site. I am going to be bringing that functionality back in the near future. However, I am still working on finding decent hosting. I can't afford anything so I'm looking for a sponsor. Until I find one, production is at a standstill. But yes, the screenshot portion of the site is going to be at screens.colormeandroid.com when I get everything set up eventually.

u had some epic **** back in those nexusOne days!

Hey, I truly truly truly miss Color Me Android. I saw the new site up a little bit ago. Is it back down again? Also, will there be a way of getting the old themes/screen shots back? Like archived? Anyways, Hope to see this again soon, I need inspiration for my Droid!
Take care

Theme Gallery (webpage) Up And Running HERE!!

Theme Gallery Up And Running HERE!!
Ok I got the swine flu so I decided to do something productive. I have seen many posts on here talking about a theme page and no one made one that is gallery stile. Every one I found is like Themedroid (not functional yet) and others that are forum stile. So I sat down and made a gallery for them. I updated this with all the themes posted here on xda. Yes I sat down and added every theme I could find on xda to punk-in. If you would like your theme removed please email me the name of it and I will gladly remove it for you.
I do not take any credit for the themes I just wanted a better way to view what each looks like. Now make sure you view what is required to run the theme. I am not responsible for bricked phones. Also I had to break them down into old themes, cupcake themes and hero themes. Now If I get good feedback I will organize it much better but for now This is how it has to be.

wow dude! What an implementation of a great idea! I like it! Good way to just scan through themes and see what they look like before even going to the threads! Congrats, dude!
PS: Sorry about the swine flu.
Not to shabby. Would be good for new people looking to check out themes. One thing I would change is you have 3 sections: Hero, Cupcake, and old. I would change Cupcake to just Android or something more general since cupcake is kind of old news now. Might confuse people running Donut.
how about section for themes for donut?
Could you organize them by build?
Saw a few that I liked but none that would work for CM 4.1.999

I think you should do that. Searching by build would be the easiest way for me to find a theme I like.

This is a really well put together site, thank you for taking the time to compile a list of themes out there.
PS: Sorry u got the swin flu
Wow!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's great.
You might want to go through alldroid.org as most of the new major themers have moved there
Wow! This is a great help is quickly checking out how the themes look like
Everyone is right the site looks great thanks for all the hard work. I do agree that a little more detail about what ROMs these Themes work for would be nice. Maybe the ROM specific Dev name like Cyan, JAC, Haykuro, etc would be nice but anyone could download a theme and make it work for that rom just by moving the files around. With 7 Zip and the Auto Sign tool it a peice of cake.
Get Well Soon but Enjoy the Time Off
nice work! you should put a search option
thanks for putting my theme
sorry you got that swine flu hope youre better soon!
Thanks so far for the feedback.
Thanks for the input. I feel ok to sit up and check up on some of my projects. I looked at alldroid.org and allot of the themes are there also. I will make a post there and see if they like the idea. I do not want to step on anyone's toes. I am just trying to get away from viewing all the themes via forum. I like to see all of them together and pick the one I like.
I also keep hearing people want it to have a Donut section. I will draw up an android maby eating a donut or something. LOL.
If everyone wants it more organized please give an example. Like All Cyanagin put together? Or all builds separate or how to do it? I would like to get it all set up now so in the future people can just add a pic an a link to there theme and people could look at them and do what they have to do.
Thanks for the feed back and support.

Relax-v1.5 CM4.2.* Metamorph Update 16/12/2009

Relax-v1.0 CM4.2.* Metamorph 15/12/2009
I have come to the conclusion that light colored themes result in me keeping a dimmer screen, which results in a significant increase in battery life. Thus I decided to make a custom theme for my G1. I am in the final months of my PhD dissertation, and thus wanted a soft relaxing theme to look at when stressed. The outcome is dedicated to the most relaxed creature I know, my rabbit Cloverdale.
I want to thank Stericson for making this possible, and for such an excellent app (I hated to sign zips on ubuntu). Here is what I have used from other devs:
1. djengizz: I used your blue droid boot shine png, your framework-res files for eclair, and your battery pngs for the lockscreen. In addition, I used your files for Meltus's audio hack, which I thank you both for.
2. jroid: I used your Droid font metamorph pack, it looks so good.
3. Nebrada: I used your notification bar from the plastic theme.
Thank you to everyone.
In addition, I have made my own lockscreen, a custom boot animation, and added many nice wallpapers to the launcher. Feel free to use anything from this theme that I have done.
There are two themes, one with, and one without the lockscreen:
With Lockscreen:
http://www.4shared.com/file/174867260/960ea5c5/Cloverdale-Relax-v15.html
Without Lockscreen:
http://www.4shared.com/file/174868224/ad6cb48e/Cloverdale-Relax-wo-v15.html
Since this is a personal theme that I am sharing, and I am swamped with work, I will not be doing custom orders, but I will update as Cyanogen does (or when bored)
Change log:
1.5 Customized The Power Widget.
Made custom "Eclair" style Lockscreen
Added Eclair icons.
Added some more blue
Old Versions: 1.0 With Lockscreen: http://www.4shared.com/file/17410512...Relax-v10.html
1.0 Without Lockscreen: http://www.4shared.com/file/17410697...lax-v10wo.html
The bootscreen
Possibly reserved for future use.

I was angry this morning, if anyone is still running this theme, and wants updates, just send me a PM and I will take care of you. I am just very disturbed how this person knows my wives name, and whom they could be. I know that the person is named shane, and has gmail address [email protected], but that is all I have found so far. He has been banned from many other forums (including wikipedia), so info on him is scattered. I am honestly a little worried that my wife has a stalker.
But, as I said before, it is quite unfair for me to stop updating because of one person, so let me know if you use this, and I will take care of you.
Whoa. So this is what that PM was about. I was just referring to one of the screenshots in the first post. I didn't mean anything by it. That's the last time I ever make a joke on the internet.
Sorry dude.

I sincerely apologize for this then, as it coincidentally happened at a very bad time. My wife has had someone messing with her, sending sexual/violent messages and images, and you coincidentally used her name in the post. This really freaked me out, and I am sorry for the way in which I responded, but I have feeling very protective of her with all that has been going on.
My apologies again, I was completely in the wrong here.
So can we get posted updates again then?
I can do that, I just did not think anyone was using this. Give me some time because I am very busy right now.

Please do update when you have the chance. There are so very few light themes out there. Everyone is doing all these dark, almost gothic themes.
(Truth be told, Plastic was my favorite theme, but nobody updates it anymore.)
Quick question,
From what I remember, this theme was written in a way that it should still work, are there issues arising when it is flashed?
please can anyone update it? server not found

If anyone wants to take over my old NFL themes

Some many be familiar here, but last year I did all 32 NFL teams as full themes. After a while they became to hard to maintain, most were updated as far as donut, most to metamorph, but I have all the files. This is my offer if anyone wants to pick them up at all, even if just your team, let me know. Figure rather then let them go to waste.
All the colors are done, so you could even use this to help you put together other teams.
An example of some of the screens:
If you view the album, there are screens for all 32 teams, widgets, boot, and icons. the widgets and some parts I believe I still have all the .9's for also, in case you wanted to redo anything.

It seems hard to have to manage it all, so I'll just take the Bears.

The Bears zip is now there, only thing I want to put up is a few of the newer psd files for when I updated the icons, seems the Bears theme never got that update.
When you are done, if you post it, drop a link here so I can see what you have for a final product. And if you look to do more, hit up my site and take a look at the theme guide.
Just an FYI, someone on the CM forums has volunteered to do the 49ers, and another for Bears, and someone is going to work on the Dolphins and Ravens on twitter. Ill try and keep track of them all so everyone can see.
I'd love to take any files you can share. I'd like to get them all updated for MM and ADW Themes for non-root users. I'd even do something for USF too!

can anyone point me in the right direction or show me where the most current development of this or similar themes is taking place?
Thanks.
I'd like to take the Chargers theme, how 'bout it?
Sorry all I've been busy, I promise I will get the link up that has all the files this week (I will try to find them all tonight). This way you all can have at it.
Wow I have a horrible memory about doing things. Everything I had I put here http://www.jbthemes.com//G1MMThemes/G1ThemeBackup/NFLTeams
The ones that were done way back are here http://www.jbthemes.com/G1MMThemes/NFL
And there is more stuff http://www.jbthemes.com/downloads/root_themes/metamorph
There is crap all over the place. I reused colors as much as possible, so if I file is missing some parts, that means its in with a team that was the same color scheme.
Sorry for the delay. But between those links, that should contain everything (minus the icons I did for the Open Home themes, if you want those PM me)
Love the themes ... Steelers for G1 / Cyanogen 5.0.8 .. or MM ???

If you scroll through till the end, there is a recommended list of Apps.
I strongly recommend you Follow the guide to root, enable side loading, as well lift the market restrictions that ATT has put on the phone. No reason not to.
(The section on Launcher Pro is optional, since some people seem to like TouchWiz (i used it for a while, just switched to launcherPro to try it out) )

i think a non-market app thread would be especially helpful

I'll do it. Give me a few hours to get everything together.
Its my first time doing one of these, but I think if I can set it up right the first time, managing it will be fairly easy.
That said, is there a limit on how many post you can reserve? To give an ideal solution to the problem, I'd be looking at like 15 or so. Would people have a problem with this, or is that an acceptable number?
Sweet mate....not sure about the reserves Q...maybe check the Tilt 2 thread for ideas

Already did that. I've asked for permission (awaiting reply) to steal the design and I've made a few modifications to it that I think will make it easier to maintain and access. However, doing so requires a tremendous number of reserved posts. I'm trying to decrease the number by combining sections I think will have a low volume, but it will still take a large number of posts to do what I want.
Doesnt bother me at all but maybe ask a mod?
Just as an update.
I've gotten a mod's ok on reserving the number of posts in want. The only. Stipulation is it has to be organized. And I don't think that will be a problem.
I'm still waiting on a response from the Rhodium thread upkeeper, and iirc the thread was last updated in May. If I don't have a response by this time tomorroe, ill assume they've left XDA indefinitely, and will post the topic. If they later have an issue with my using a similar format, ill just edit my format.
In the mean time, ill continue working on the formatting of the thread and include a few items to see how it will look when populated. Hopefully this turns out as awesomely as I want it to.
I don't think this thread will take much more than an hour or so to maintain after it gets rolling, so keeping it up to date shouldn't be an issue by my logic. I just hope people provide all relavant information. Lol
It's not much, but id like to do my part to contribute its to a community that provides so much information and so many resources. Maybe this way I wont feel like such a leech. XD

[Q] Just got an HTC HeroC, root and update?

First post here
Had a Samsung Moment for my first android phone and had messed with it but was very unhappy with battery life. I have gotten (a used) HeroC and am looking to update to 2.2 or higher if possible as I would like to have the app2sd option since I am running out of space stupid quick. I am not looking for anything fancy although Sense would be nice to keep. So with this in mind I have 2 questions.
1. What version would you guys suggest.
2. Where is the best and easiest instructions to follow to do this.
Thanks!

I have gotten (a used) HeroC and am looking to update to 2.2 or higher if possible as I would like to have the app2sd option since I am running out of space stupid quick. I am not looking for anything fancy although Sense would be nice to keep. So with this in mind I have 2 questions.
1. What version would you guys suggest.
2. Where is the best and easiest instructions to follow to do this.
Thanks!

First, the best advice you'll ever get on xda is search and read. Second, aospCMod 5/16 is 2.3.4 and based on CM7, it's amazing. For the sense look go into general android themes and apps and look for sense theme chooser themes in the theme chooser sticky thread. I hear NTsense is nice.

NTSense is wonderful. Combined with lpp Widgets, it is the closest you'll get to Sense without Sense.

Welcome! Most of us are bailing on the Hero forums when the EVO 3D comes out. Hope you join us there too

Personally cannot justify spending that much on a phone but maybe after it has been out for awhile and comes down. Want to play with this Hero and see what can be done with it.

That is where it becomes very confusing while searching. So I find the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=CDMA_Hero_ROMs which shows "aospMod - (11/5/10" but you suggest aospCMod 5/16. Also I am seeing references to radios? I do not recall stuff like that when I was messing with my Moment.
Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand fully before I do this. I am not planning on getting into trying a bunch of different ones, I want to pick something that is solid and reliable and does not break anything. I see some references to the camera and other things not working sometimes.

This wiki will get you going in the right direction for a load of aosp's gingerbread rom.
Then you can use the NTSense theme to get your sense feel like others have said.

Thanks poashll. Was able to follow and almost everything is running smooth. VVM not working but I know there is a fix for that, just hard to understand the instructions. My other issue I want to get fixed is with the clock. I can pull it up but if I try to set an alarm it force closes. I find no threads on this issue.
(had to remove your link as forum thinks I am spamming :/

aosp just dropped a new ROM, grab that one, it's 5/23.
Thanks for the heads up! That fixed the issue with the clock. Still working on getting Sprint vvm working. Ustream app is also broke with this but that is not a big concern.
