Hi there, after we've got root, we can finally customize our devices!
I've started creating a new (or better to say, editting default) theme. I'm not going to create a fully custom shiny theme with custom widgets design and so on. I just want to get rid of that ugly SE clinic-blue.
I don't have much free time, but i'm going to keep moving to the end )
Now it's about 40-50% ready. There are still a lot of blue, but it's usable. You can try it (as always, at your own risk )) ).
Just put the framework-res.apk into /system/framework/
P.S. I had to recover my device after i've putted framework-res.apk on it for the first time. I think, permissions must be changed to 755 before rebooting. After recover I always change permissions and have no problems )
(one more time: root is needed).
05.09.2010
Theme updated. I have mixed it with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
(look for install instructions!!!)
08.09.2010
Some less blue:
Phone.apk - Incomming call slider, mobile internet on/off icon
DownloadProvider.apk - Download icon
Blue Level = min )))
It's looking pretty nice man, although I'm not confident enough to install it
great job dude goodluck
Yes !
Keep on dude, you'll be the first one to make us a mini framework and so stay in our hearts...forever ;-)
Thx
I'm waiting for it! This blue makes me crazy.. (;
yay, gonna use it when it's 100% finished !
Yay, the blue theme it comes with is disgusting. It'd be even more awesome if you could make it look like the default android theme
Good work mate, well done! Its good to see some people are starting to get somewhere with these phones.
Thats a great improvement, but what about rest of icons ?
I'm sure many others will pickup this idea and make new themes, why not share info on what is where and how you've done this?
Thanks mate!
P.S. I really like new status bar icons, but background should be black like on SENSE-enabled
Could you port this theme please :

Yeah telling us how you're making the theme would be great, or even a link to where you learnt how to make themes.

Is it possibile to have an .apk "grey theme" file with blu original color as background of notification bar? (only this).
So, I like grey, but in this upper bar I think blu is better
Thanks!
PS: great the battery icons that change its colors depending of battery status
Hi dopeless, have you finish this grey theme. I love this grey theme but could you use the icon set with transparent background. It's must be more beautiful with transparent background icons.
Thanks in advance.

Any update on this theme's progress?
Sorry, guys, I was really busy all this time.
Now I have mixed my theme with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
It seems to be ok now. There is minimum of blue, but it comes not from framework-res file. I'll try to fix it later.
Off-topic question. how do you get the 4 shortcuts in you dock, I can only seem to get 2?
Ignore me, I've done it!
P.S. Great theme!

How to install?
its an update.zip file install it via xrecovery.
Why Update.zip ?
Because i modified Conversations.apk and settings.apk, which changes theme for message and setting menu
Backup Before messup.
Try With Your Own Risk.
Good work

This was ported from the x10mini and has some flaws like small lockscreen, on the clock app the buttons are messed up... other than that it looks nice. Thanks, and fix those 2 issues if you can.
Thanks....
Do you used element from my theme?
Very beautiful theme framework, like the drop-down box translucent. If can be made completely transparent task bar for the more popular, thanks for your work.

I have the same problem, also on Titanium Backup. Now ist´very very difficult to use, because i can not read the options anymore
Anyway ist´s a very nice theme, i love it
thank you worked fine and looks AWESOME!
Nice theme. It works fine on my x8. Great job. But if you have time, please fix the Gtalk setting menu. The fonts color is black. I can even see what is written on the menu . Thanks for your great job here. Love the theme so much..
Stock Contacts and Phone Themed Transparent. Im not a big fan of transparent apps, but I know some people are. This can also be a base for other themes.
Dialer background before placing a call can be themed as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215898
The only other image I really changed was the blue button when speaker is on, because I had to.
In call dial background, I think transparency has to be set using .xml, I tried replacing with transparent image and just turned black. Could possibly be done later, will have to do some digging. You can change the image to whatever you wish by following link above. I personally don't think a transparent incall background would be real cool, it would probably confuse me a bit while im looking for my key to press.
theres a black bar in scolling contacts list, pretty sure this in colors.xml, can change if needed.
Anyways ,there it is, enjoy. tested on 160 & 210dpi
As usual keys are off the screen in high res. ( may be able to do .xml edits to control this a bit. But a have one more theme planned first.
reserved
for more screenies, updates etc.
Id' love to hear feedback guys, lets me know how Im doing. Even screenshots are cool! thanks
congratulations you did it, chrisrotolo you're great
yeah, no prob. I'd like to see what themes we can come up with. Im working on one now
cheers!
thanks chrisrotolo,

streak 7 running DJsteves HS R6, last ROM prior to official Dell release. Love it OMG! really nice.. Only thing I dont like about this is gamelofts non support for s7. battery can go quick. Happy with it, no theming planned at the moment, but Im sure I will later. Always here to help though. Hopefully 5 will be getting ICS one way or another..
Mobile link has been fixed....
O.K. Boys & Girls. Here we go. This Theme was made from Simply Stock for Simply Stock. If you flash over Simply Honey 5.1 you will meet Odin! If you download and/or flash this and you get a paperweight...you knew the risk...
Much Thanks go to Explodingboy70 & Perka.
there is very little ICS in TS II yes, like everyone else there is some.
made mild changes in music.apk "colors blend better"
still working on the gmail.apk, launch icon changed.
DID NOT really change systemui.apk...maybe in an update?
anyway there are more .apk edits. some are done some are not.
If you did download Twisted Stock 1.0 then download Twisted Stock II...I did make some updates, I can't help myself...
download.................................
Flash through GREEN RECOVERY
reboot.....................................
leave comment..........................
hit thanks

Bottom line is this: If you want a theme, GET TWISTED!

Sorry... I had Issues with first .zip file....
P.S I really try to keep these short and sweet. in doing so I may leave something out... have questions just ask...

I just slipstreamed Twisted Stock II files in to Simply Stock and the only annoying bug I have found is that the battery isn't 1% intervals. For instances I have 83% battery and the battery icon is stuck on 100. I like some of the new icons you have introduced but I would recommend changing the wifi icon on notification bar. I find the wifi word in it distracting and cheesy looking. Maybe just clean up the wifi icon and remove the wifi word. I would also prefer the colored segmented 1% battery. This circle one looks cheesy. The phone and my files icons definitely needs replaced with something cleaner and more professional imho. I would also like to see all transparent menus as we as transparent dropdown notification bar and blue notification widget buttons. I really don't like any of the dropdown widget icons either. They don't look right with the theme and make it look cheap and scattered. I absolutely loved the icon sets from splash of color and vibranthd themes. If you could integrate some of those and the changes above you would make this the best color theme ever. By the way the roboto font from ics looks amazing with this theme and all other roms and themes. Of course all of this is my opinion and I'm anal when it comes to themes. I really appreciate your hard work and I hope you consider my opinion. Have you thought about doing a full ICS clone theme with accurate segmented or honeycomb battery. Now that would be beautiful! I was running cm7 with ics cm7 theme v1.2 modded with honeycomb accurate battery and ics lock and is beautiful and smooth on the latest cm7 nightly with robotic font. I'm glad google got away from the ugly gingerbread green and went with that blue color!

So I begin the porting, had some problems with some PNG's so I take some from nickshertzer and Tenorntex. The theme is created from DSC Firmware I haven't tested with other gingerbread rom's.
So I wanna thank the following people, nickshertzer, tenorntex, _n0p_ and the creators of MattedBlues.

First at all:
THANKS for the quick respond to the request I have made ))))))))))))))))
Battery Circle MOD is Great Looking )))))
Black Keyboard is Great Looking ))))
However:
The Signal Strength Bars Icon looks terrible.
The BIG white background square box with the bars inside just does not fit this theme.
I have thought that it would be the same as the native ones "transparent background) and change the colour of the bars only.
The new colour (of the signal strength) is good but not INSIDE white background square.
If you teach me how to take screenshot I will send it to show you.
Please, DO NOT understand me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I highly appreciate your work and I have an idea, from other post, of your developer abilities just would like to report it so you also have an idea how it goes.
