I was a big themer of Swype betas on the G1 running CM 5.0.8, and I was just wondering if there would be any interest in seeing some themes ported to the beautiful screens we have here
just a thought. if I had a little support and incentive, I would be more than happy to start cranking some out.
that being said, I haven't tried to theme this version of Swype yet, so I don't know if there are hurdles to overcome

Reserved for future use, changelogs if necessary, blah blah blah
Yes please
I for one would love to see this.
OP if you would like I can add a poll to the thread just PM me if you do.
Any way you could put the spacebar in the bottom center while in landscape mode? That would be... awesome.
this would b awesome. I wonder if you can theme it to look like l the htc ime keyboard

It sounds interesting, but honestly not something I would pay(or donate) for.

With my previous experience with Swype, this cannot be done. Swype operates by using a word detection algorithm working over static images... So the location for the spacebar is actually buried in the source code, and Swype doesn't even like us sharing the beta releases from non-preloaded devices. In short, no

I have all the files still from my previous work, which includes these versions:
-HTC IME Theme
-MyTouch Slide's "Black Glass" Theme
-HTC IME Color variants: Dark Red, Purple, Black Steel (Black&Grey theme), and bits and pieces of other color variations I tried and didn't like on the G1 I had at the time
-Naked theme, has no dividing lines or color on the background, displaying white characters. I have an inkling that this might save on some battery life
-I also have remnants of theme requests I made. I was working with another themer, so he had half of the themes, and I had the other half.

All I was saying is that if I had to put more work into Galaxy Swype themeing as I did beta Swype themeing, it would be nice to be compensated. I am by no means selling my services, but I have limited time lol Time=$
Anyways, I will get started on this project in a couple hours
the black glass theme on swype from the MT3GS would look amazing on our vibrants. i for one am looking forward to this. a quick question for you though, is it possible to apply the themes to the swype keyboard without the vibrant being rooted. i was trying to hold off from rroting until 2.2 releases

The only way to move these themes to this version of Swype is to metamorph w/ root. Seeing as how the distribution we are using now is device dependent, there might be hurdles to overcome as far as just installing the apk. Now, since we are now using the device that this version of swype came with, I might be able to get permission to distribute the apk amongst fellow galaxy s users from the company itself, since it is made to run only on this line of phones.
If I can get that permission, and we can get it to install straightaway without a hitch, then yes it's possible without root.
And honestly, the root process is so easy on the Galaxy/our Vibrants, that I didn't see any reason not to do it. The G1 was such a tough device for me to get the hang of and root.
I will most likely use the metamorph theme style, since that is the most viable and executeable option available currently. I have been in contact with Swype's community relations rep for the past few months, and they said one of their main priorities now that they have recognition and a few contracts, is to implement themeing. this could come to the devices that are preloaded with Swype to begin with, when they get the 2.2 updates from their carriers. But, that is purely speculation.

Why not root? I've rooted and flashed tons of different crap. This phone is unbrickable. Not only this, all it takes is an Odin flash in download mode and your back to 100% stock. Not to mention, rooting the Vibrant is terribly easy.
I would like to see a green or red version of the current blue theme.
I been searching all over the web for a decent LCARS PADD skin for android
well got tired of looking decided to go ahead and make one for myself
This is my first Attempt at making a functional Lcars system
lot of hours went into searching and interface design simple to use
pain to design anyways let me know what you guys think this version is the first and is subject to change
download sweeterhome beta 2 first
and choose theme
then search for
greytrek_Galaxy_s_edition
UPDATE
Hey guys been getting questions about lcars system in color well currently I am working on just that!
Something minimalistic at the same time very efficient as far as functionality and theme wise will be posting
screenshots later today
discontiued
hey guys im going to go ahead and stop providing support on my lcars theme i put alot of time into designing a theme that functioned and looked good aswell
but support for my work was pretty much none so unfortunately that is my de-motivator anyways best of luck guys
thanks to those who downloaded and tried it but this is me bidding adieu
download sweeterhome beta 2 first

Wow, impressive. Could you do one that's in color next? Part of the appeal imo of the LCARS was the colors. Maybe do a TMP-era (blue/green) and TNG (purple/orange) versions?

Maybe something based off the Stargate Atlantis computer system would be cool ..
Just sticking with the scifi motif , if it was me personally , I would do a Cylon interface, Eureka and Warehouse 13 as well As SG:A ...
I'll look into that I'm all for the scifi based computer interfaces they were so creative and artistic now I plan on making then actually functional

Hi,
First of all - many thanks for the great effort of making this cool LCARS!
I got a quick question as there's no manual for some of feature.
I wonder about the top screen (the map screen). Could you please explain a bit more about the map feature ?
It is just static map (not GPS), or does it show where you are currently in or what?
Currently it shows California. While it is my fave state, I am in UK which is like 5,000 miles east of California. hence my wondering about that map part.
Please let me know if it is just a static map or should be "live map" (/show where you are currently in)?
Many thanks again!
the map is just static not much to explain until there is a way to implement a gps fix i used it as a place holder
How could I port this over to the Nexus one?
I swear that I can remember there being a host of Metamorph themes that will morph SenseUI with dark Rosies and different types of batteries (yes, I know there are lots of circle battery flashes) and things.
I scum through the Hero themes and apps, and can't find much.
I scum thorugh the Eris themes and apps, and SWEAR I can remember more, months ago.
I am I confused? I feel like SOMEONE would have/did make a blue battery/highlight color flash, or a different Android guy when a no-picture-stored contact/caller is on the line, or a graphite/black battery, or clear notification bars.
I see that there are LOT of cyanogenmod themes, and that's super. But although I see an awesome orange xtrSense theme there, I am lost on where all the metamorph themes I remember seeing, went to.
I feel stupid almost, since I've been around computers for years, and spent LOTS of time on forums, and even helping people, and rooting friends' phones, etc etc etc.
I swore I remember seeing a HTC hero theme repository thread with like 100 different little themes and metamorphs. I can't even find that (assuming any of those would work).
Am I crazy? Confused? (feel free to slap sense into me if so)
Where are all the SenseUI metamorph themes? Do I need to try to learn how to make some?
Yessir
I've been wondering this too, I remember before I rooted seeing a picture of an Eris with a black rosie and all the grey turned black. Heck that was half the reason I rooted, but I never have found it lol. guess I got side tracked.
I've been thinking of trying to make some Themes for punk.kaos's froyo sense when it gets stable. I've figured out a little about theming android, (I'm still not that good and have never themed sense, so dont expect much.)
I'd LOVE to have a white and blue sense theme though, that'd be on point.
I have only made two themes for the eris. One I posted on here the other is not done, so I guess that technically 1 1/2 but who's counting, and I can tell you it is more tideous work then actual challenge. The reason for lack of themes is probably just a demand thing. Most people that have the eris have had it for awhile. So they either already have it how they like it or have moved onto another device. I think it would be great for those of us with the eris to help out with theming and developing. With all the hard work the developers put in to the roms the least us as the end user can do is make some themes for others to use and give a variety of option for roms to look. </rant>
I think that may come off harsher then it was meant to when I was typing this. Anyway, if you or anybody else on here needs help making themes, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can just message me on here I check this place probably 50 times a day. I would love to help some people get on the theming bus and help make some new themes for us to choose from.

I dont think thats harsh at all, its just plain fair.
the handfull of devs here work so hard bringing us roms we never would dream of seeing on our phone, the least we can do -if we are able- is contribute a little time to editing some pictures. it makes all our phones have that many more options. course...lifes not fair
I would love to learn. Where do you suggest I start? I've already taken pieces from several different themes to make what I want. I would like to see a nice sense ui theme. It can be done, shadowrom has a theme that is as close to sense that I've seen yet. They got about everything but HTC Widgets and the real htc launcher. However the themer made an HTC launcher dock background and some blank icons that when using launcher pro is very nice because your icons don't show up on the dock like they normally would. What would it take to incorporate the real launcher into a theme?

Here are some of the metamorphs I think you were talking about. Really the only ones I could find that seem to work. I know there's more out there. Anyone else got anything?
Simple Black Lockscreen arch
Espresso Rosie!
Im tryint to figure out where to find the icons at. I want to change my folder icons blue. Any help would be appreciated
If the creators of DarkEdge were to give the OK, would someone here be able to port this for the Eris running CM6? I've sent a note to see if we can get permissiion to port it.
DarkEdge UI Original
DarkEdge UI 2.2
DarkEdge UI Gallery
Edit/Update: Thanks to the hard work of KagedIn, we have a port!
I tried the Hero MDPI DarkEdge UI on CELB 3.5 and got boot loops. I also tried porting the theme over (for personal use) using Theme-Porter and Update.zip Creator. While both scripts completed successfully and created a valid update.zip which installed wonderfully on my device, nothing changed.
I've never attempted to port a theme before, so I'm sure that I'm missing some very important elements here to be able to accomplish this. If anyone out there who is more experienced is able to port this over (with permission, of course), that would be really, really cool
I was able to use Asimmons DarkEdge port for the Hero Asimmon's big theme porting thread and TheDeathly's Universal Theme Porter to get this working on the Eris. Some things aren't working well (black text on black buttons), but otherwise it's pretty beautiful.
I wasn't able to get an update.zip that worked, so I pushed everything over manually using adb. I have not yet heard back from the DarkEdge team as to whether or not I can officially post the theme, so no links at this time.
I really don't know much about theming, and I know Asimmons could use some help working out the kinks with the black text and some other things - so to my great and wonderful Eris themers, if someone wants to either take over or help with this project - please take the reins!
Cool, great job. I'm very interested in this as well and will be glad to help.
I was just thinking over the weekend that I guess I'm gonna have to start figuring out how to theme because it seems like all the good dark themes are getting neglected these days.
I want to keep up with latest froyo, but I want my dark flavor as well......
Hey I'm working on porting this right now, I've made some good headway but still far from a release I'm attempting to make it into a metamorph theme I'm at least a couple days away from working most of the issues but if anyones still interested I'd be willing to post it when its finished

I'm in! I've been able to get a good chunk of Asimmons hero port working on my Eris, but the work has been mostly manual at this point and definitely not something that could be metamorphed or zipped.
Have you got the text thing figured out? I'm downloading the theme and the porter right now and following your footsteps.......I will probably have some questions though if you don't mind.

After some research I found a lot of people with text color issue in porting this theme so instead of trying to change the system font color which is a very difficult task I used a simple workaround to make all buttons popups and menus readable
The hardest part is done IMO so ill hopefully have a full version ready by the end of the week
Sent from my Floyo Tazz using XDA App
I was thinking the same thing, it would be better to change the button and chooser backgrounds rather than trying to figure out how to change the font color. I tried just about everything in the .xml files in framework-res.apk, but wasn't able to make a dent myself.
I'm so glad that you're working on this - definitely deserves a beer BTW, are you porting the default gold or another color?

If rycheme will buy you the beer, I'll buy you a steak dinner to go with it.
I really appreciate the work both of you are doing on this.....I was messing around with it last night and realize how much time it takes. I think I'll still work on some theming myself just for the fun of it, it is really interesting. But knowing this theme will be ported over, and working on Floyo, makes me .
Thanks.
I don't know if you're using an hdpi to mdpi converter, but it'd be really, really cool to get the icons in here too:

Have you tried creating your own from here?

I haven't yet so I don't know if it looks good on the 3D or not but it's worth a shot. It says on the page that you can use a Froyo version for Gingerbread.
Yeah, I cooked one at that kitchen, but the keyboard hugs the left side. He's said he'll look into it, but believes he won't be to do much. So let's hope for The best!!
