Hi,
Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.
Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

Ok thank for not taking the time to just write it. Your read me just says if you want it white them replace the services.jar LOL ok so i am not a programmer and can only guess tough guy that the text wont be white? I just wanted to know if it will affect anything else. SOOOOOO many times i see people "make" their own theme and swear up and down that something wont affect another and it does, so again thanks for the vague instructions and really helping out with nothing. I tell you want your theme isnt worth it i will just move on to a better one thank you!

costs a few bucks but well worth it. don't mind the haters in the comments, this app has worked on every android phone I've had and with every ROM.
new version.. 0.7
some new icons/updates
looks awesome!! thank you!!!!
im going to be moving support for this theme over to the VZW 2.4.5 (and eventually newer) roms. version 0.7 will be the last one for the default droid 2 rom. ill leave it around for those who want it. version 0.8 for vzw 2.4.5 coming soon.
what do you think would happen if we did this but replacd your icons with the stock ones?

why not just make a black status bar then?
really id just need the white text but im really not confident in my ability to do it and the majority om these talk about deodexing and i just dont understand enough about the OS to do much outside of a simple step by step.

The letters and clock mostly. the images are all in a dark grey that would be tough to see so it would be nice to have all the icons(3G, vibrate, silent, battery, signal bars, text message and email) done in a white/light grey as well. I understand that is a bit tougher to do. I could make the images if I could rip the current ones off my phone and just use photoshop to change the colors then repackage and install. but I dont know how to rip, repackage or install. so I just wanted to use his method with icons I would make, assuming this is possible.

if you give me the images i can prolly make an installer for you, but you should maybe enhance your knowledge on this stuff first before you try to do it as these things can be dangerous.

It is possible however you would have to have a theme to work with first. You would then decompile the APK using a tool such as APK manager or you can open the apk directly using something like Winrar or similar. You can then navigate to the folder of "drawable-hdpi" which inside the "res" folder. This is where all the pngs are held.
well i was gonna release v0.8 for the green 2.5 vzn rom by angdroid, but i like the looks of that fission rom that they are working on.. maybe ill do 0.8 as planned and do 0.9 for fission once they are done with it.
fission seems nice and clean

First let me say that I am not a dev nor can I properly edit .9.png files yet. These are just 'Tweaks' I made to the Stock Samsung MMS by switching png files. A few are quite nice while others,... well, I included them because someone just might like them. Right now these are installable manually which is faster than flashing. I do hope to have them in flashable form soon, however.
The installation instructions are step by step so any noobs can install with no problems. Use the paid version of Root Explorer. First delete or move you current Mms.apk to your external SD card (in case you want to reinstall it later). Then place the new Mms.apk in System/app, longpress on the file and choose 'Permissions', uncheck the boxes to match rw-r--r--. If the new app doesn't show up right away, reboot.
I have no probems sending Sms or Mms and get all my audio notifications although I know this is not the case with everyone. I don't have all the answers, so if you can help with any information on why certain people can't send Sms or Mms, please share it. And if you want to just say 'Thanks' to anyone, please use the 'Thanks' button
Thanks for their work go to Team Whiskey, MikeyMike01, KCB877, TonicAcid, and the devs of BlackFroyo!

went through various themes and roms and patched a bunch together. I didn't edit any pngs as I stated before, I used different bubbles, icons, notification icons etc and put them all into one. I also edited the contact pictures out using ninja morph to get rid of the gradient and blank contact pic so it's black, I don't use contact pictures at all.
Also, if you want a dark icon look at the one I used for Loki 2.0, it's a dark launcher icon, still the smiley launcher like the green and blue, just dark. Grab the blue launcher I have too, it's not the bright one that was floating around, its the normal blue, matches well with the themes or the other blue icons like navi.

Sorry guys, no one has posted in here in forever, so I just poke my nose in every once in a while to check the downloads.

Your welcome, duce! That is a good question and I don't know the answer because it depends upon the theme you are using I think. Right now I'm using clean tangerine, so my notification icon is orange. I'll guess that the default icon is blue, knowing Samsung, lol!

Just to be more exact, the reason a captivate rom would not work with this is because of AT&T. They have some message center that their particular mms app calls. Everything will work fine until you try to send something, then it will FC. I know this because the original mms that I made was the Gingerbread one made by MikeyMike from the Captivate threads. It was a phenomenal app with more funtionality and twice the size (in bytes) as any other mms.apk I'd seen.
Apk's can be really strange. The Galaxy Tab email.apk will work in either 2.2 or 2.2.1. So will the TouchwizGTG launcher from the Tab as well as many other .apk's. Then you come across some that don't work like the OceanWaves live Wallpaper. Just didn't want you to automatically assume .apk's from other Roms would automatically not work. You must test them yourself.

I'm still investigating what works with what. It would be easier if I would flash something else and test it myself, but I'm not willing yet. My health hasn't been that great lately. I can manage to edit simple .9.png's though, so that might goad me into redoing everything.

I've also read requests elsewhere for a black notification bar.
Ultimately, I don't know the extent to which you can tweak things, so I'm just going straight for the jugular regarding the things that bother me most.

Its possible to remove the AT&T from the notification bar. Change framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml, and carrier length and padding to zero on line 5.

[THEME] MattedBlues - CM7 Final/6/SalvageMod & Sense

It looks very goooood. I want it on my Legend!!!!
But i use Blayo´s Rom and dont want to change to cyanogen...
I flashed the Mattedblues theme made for the EVO (I think, found it in this thread) on my HTC Legend last night, and it basically almost works.
It looks amazing, and as far as I'm able to tell, there are no visual problems with the skin itself.
Thing is, if I try to turn off WiFi, I'm thrown back to the boot animation. It then boots up normally, with the WiFi still on.
I don't know if this is caused by settings on my phone, or by the skin being incompatible with the Legend. I tried to flash the version of the theme made for the G2 just now, but the same problem occurred.
Thanks Eirki, I posted your feedback here in case someone can advise:

Good idea, thanks. I would love to have this work for the Legend, it's by far the most polished CM7 theme I've seen.

If someone has an easier way of sharing files, that won't eat my monthly dropbox bandwith, please let me know =)
Also, I see people talking about a "thank you" button, but I can't seem to find it. Any hints?
I wrote a short howto and put it in the rar, but I recommend you check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841720 anyway. Good luck with the theme, remember to do a nandroid backup before you try anything.
The 'Thanks' button is near the Quote/MultiQuote/QuickReply buttons on the bottom right of each post. I can see 3 people have thanked you for your above post and file share
You mention: "some notification icons and the font being a little small," ...are you able to notify us:
- which notification icons?
- where is the font small?
This will allow us to report any other wierd behaviour.
1] Is this for 7.0.3 and above only or 7.x ?
2] Do we need S-OFF?
3] Do we need [MOD] full r/w access via overlay filesystem (any ROM) for this to work?
Thanks once again!
Notification icons:
The roaming icon (looks like the regular signal strength icon, only with an R on it) does not appear to be themed. Instead it's the standard green.
Also, for some reason, when wifi is turned off, the signal strength icon is gray not blue.
I don't use 3G or edge, so I don't know how those icons look.
The battery percentages icon is very difficult to read. This is easily bypassed by checking "Battery Percentage" in CM settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks. It's a shame though, the special made percentage icon is a lot fancier.
Font size:
This is most noticeable in the Launcher Pro Plus widgets, especially the Friends widget and the Pulse news reader app. It's definitely readable, but still a minor nuisance.
If this is a deal breaker to you, there's always the option of not installing the font or installing a different one. (If anyone knows a font that looks good on the Legend, let me know.)
1: CM-version: I have only tested these specific files on CM7.0.3. I made them by combining the MattedBlues files for 7.0.3 with files from the CM7.0.3 zip file. For all I know, they may work on other versions as well. If not, the MB files for other versions can easily be converted to Legend-compatibility.
2: Mine is S-ON, so I wouldn't think you need S-OFF (I don't really know what S-OFF entails, I'm somewhat of a newbie.)
3: Now, I have no idea what that is. I sure never did that with my phone. Looks like a way to write files to /system without booting into recovery. I just boot into recovery =)
Thanks for the above!
I look forward to trying it out!

Don't worry, this isn't a theme-related issue.
In 'pure Android', when you are online AND have the ability to connect to Google servers, the bars are green. When you don't have access to Google servers, the bars go grey. So the behaviour you see is normal [just replacing blue for green of course].
Question regarding the Apps folder in the *.rar file in post #16 above...
Can we simply delete the APK and ODEX files for the applications we don't want to install with the ROM or is completely the wrong and unstable way of doing it?
Alright, this will be a thread where I'll be uploading custom icons that I make. I don't have many done at all right now (8 of each style), but I plan on making tons more. I'm just going to make them per request and when I feel like making new ones. So, if you have any that you would like to see as chrome, black chrome, red and white, or ics and white, just let me know and I'll include them. I'll make an update to this thread about once a week with new additions. So post requests in the thread and I'll get started. Right now I just have chrome and black chrome.
THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE. Just download the zip, unzip, and place on your sd card to replace icons on your screen.
Oh, and as always, these are free for you to use. Some of these I'm making from scratch, some of them are just altered versions of stock icons. If you use these anywhere else besides private use on your own phone, I just ask for credit and possibly a link back to this thread.

8. Place on the dock.
For all other launchers, you can do the same or simply edit the icon on the screen.
You mind doing an orange one?
Something along this color of orange if you are letting beggars be choosers

I use that icon set for a few but there isn't a good phone one. I like the look of your phone but would prefer a orangish one.

OK, at the risk of looking stupid, I almost didn't ask this question. But here goes:
Where, exactly, would I put them on my sd card? (I just put my hockey helmet on)

Lol it's all good. You just need to put them on your sd card wherever you want them. I actually have a folder on the root of my sdcard called icons where I put all these. Your gallery should be smart enough to find any file extensions that should be there like .png, .jpg, .mp4, stuff like that. So, just download, unzip, then put them on your sdcard. If it doesn't work, you might need to reboot your phone or use something like Quickpic from the market.
Could you do one to replace people icon?

Really digging the black chrome icons. Good work, looking forward to more!

Now how do I replace my current icons? I feel I'm missing something dumb. Or, I just might not know how, yet.

With Rosie, you'll need to do a little more work than you would with a different launcher. But, you can certainly change them. Just follow the instructions you'll find HERE from rileyd5. Be sure to toss him a thanks
EDIT: And don't feel dumb. I honestly didn't really remember how to do it until rileyd5 posted that a few days ago.
New icons are up. About 16+ per set.
So, my phone currently has a WasabiWa83 background (the ICS Andy w/Beats and chrome background), and tonight I will be downloading and using your chrome icons. Oh, and I have a WasabiWa83 custom signature.
It's official. I'm a WasabiWa83 fangirl.
I wish I could hit the THANKS button a million times over for everything you've created!! You are one talented guy. With a BAMF rom and your custom touches, my phone is seeeeeexy.
WasabiWa83 said:
Alright, this will be a thread where I'll be uploading custom icons that I make. I don't have many done at all right now (8 of each style), but I plan on making tons more. I'm just going to make them per request and when I feel like making new ones. So, if you have any that you would like to see as chrome, black chrome, red and white, or ics and white, just let me know and I'll include them. I'll make an update to this thread about once a week with new additions. So post requests in the thread and I'll get started. Right now I just have chrome and black chrome.

These look nice. Is there any way you could to a red and black? Or maybe a red and kinda black/chrome? Keep up the good work.

Just put up version one of the red and black chrome. I'll do a straight red/black later.
Also, red and white has been updated to v1.1 with about 8 more icons.

These look great thanks. I'm using ADW Launcher EX and I cant seem to find these icons to use them. They have been extracted to my SD card, but I can't see them as choices when I try to change the icons. Am I missing something? Thanks again for the quick response on my requests.

Important Info
This is the first theme I'm making for the Tab S and it is in testing.
If you download and flash please disregard missing elements in the theme.
I expect to be finished sooner than later. By the end of the weekend maybe.
I'll post any significant additions or improvements if it's not completed by Mon.
I Am Not Responsible For Any Use Of Information Or Files Posted By Myself Or By Any Other User.
Limitations and Solutions
The vr system will theme pngs, .9.pngs and some xmls [font color and some significant background elements].
I personally will theme my stock T700 NL2 rom and add apks to the theme to complete it where I cannot for any rom build because it would cause errors.
If two roms use stock apks with no mods to them you might be able to do this but I would not advise it.
Developers And Rom Users
I'll happily find the time to make this or any theme I put out for the TabS compatible with your rom. Please PM me or let me know.
Theme Design And Name Info
This is a simple theme that will add white and grey [4D5163, 343743] to touchwiz ui.
The name Version 0 is because this is the first time I've released a theme at this early of a stage, it will be relatively colorless and seemed cool enough.
EMPTYGALAXYTHEME comes from my EMPTYGALAXYROM name and I guess a way to encompass all my work. lol
I'm not big on it now but it adds to the fun.

vr theme flashable zip tested on T700. It should work on any Tab S but I'm not 100% sure about the T800.
Please Report If It Works On Your Tab S
current themed parts
System UI - toggles, icons.
Framework - menus, some background
screenshots when finished
I realize the risk you run flashing a theme without any screenshots or revert zip and I thank you for that[emoji14]
Hopefully I'll need this
Confirmed working on T800. Just needs a few fixes. Power menu is also themed to. So looks like you got that down thank you man
That's how it should look at this point. That's great thanks.
Feel free to use the zip as a map. Some things I didn't need to theme but unzip it and you'll know some of r he pngs. I'd love to know where that side bar in settings is...

Hey changed the icons in sec settings. I still don't know which is the color that blueish one is. I used your theme as a base and filled some stuff in the empty folders. I managed to get the recents bar themed too. I did some cherry picking from discreet blue. The settings now has custom icons. Also fixed the auto brightness tick box while I was at it.
Very nice. Was the recents bar in settings? I'm thinking the side bar background might be an xml.... I hope not though

If I am correct, the recents bar was an XML... I looked at discreet blue and saw that the systemui had layout folder along with an XML file. I'm still trying to figure out the top blue bar in the notification panel. The framework doesn't need changes as its perfect for me.
Here's my zip in case you want to know the things I added. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fehgzqqiu6rbmon/Theme Test 2 DUHAsianSKILLZ.zip?dl=0
I'll check that out if I get a chance. I've got to find all the backgrounds before I'll be changing icons or anything else. Looks like each rom may need it's own themed apks though cuz of values folders

Hey, If you ever get the notification part at the top themed/fixed tell me That's basically all I need since you did most of the dirty work with the framework and systemui. Of course I am theming for the T800 as you can do whatever as you have the T700
That's in one of the value folders in System UI apk. Next time I'm at my pc I'll find exactly where.
Added
It's in one of the colors.xml or drawables.

I can later but it's in the apk. So if you're running ironrom you'll need that systemui.apk.

Hey,
I've been busy with the s4 [it needs a lot more attention than the tab] but I saw you've gotten framework themed? Have you found the side settings panel?
That's the only thing keeping me from finishing this.

I don't think I did anything with the framework. Been really busy finishing and studying for exams this week. I'm all finished now though. I tried looking for that part yesterday and I couldn't find it! And I also had trouble with the top nonfication panel. Those are basically the only things left until its finished.
What tab do you have? Lol. I'll need the System Ui from the rom. I'm thinking it's worth focusing on IronRom and your version. Once it's complete it'll be easier to bring it to the others. I have the debloated NL2. .. I might complete something for that. Idk though. You're all over helping the community so honestly I want to return the favor and get this done.

I own the Tab s wifi 10.5 (SMT800). Themes should work fine on T805 also.Here's the Apks I pulled from iron rom. https://mega.co.nz/#F!i0wCTapZ!RP83sWXTdksm4PqpxVQ8wA. Thank you for working/want to work on it for me. Its basically the two things I mentioned in the last post. Theme those then its complete. I'm trying not to work too much on it since lollipop is coming real soon. You'll see me around the community a lot since I own the device . If I owned other devices you'd see me there too. Thanks again! If you don't manage to find it or get things to work, I can try to do it.
Well, I must need to update some tools or something. I can not compile framework. And the SystemUI sent I couldn't compile. The xml that needs to be modded is in value-sw800dp-xhdpi/drawables.xml "notification_header_bg".
Now there is a good chance it's somewhere else because when I did it on my SysUI I went through all the drawables.xml and colors.xml is values folders, values-sw800dp-xhdpi, values-sw600dp, values-sw540dp, values-sw360dp-xhdpi, values-sw320dp and values.
I won't be able to do anything until I can get those compiled

Sorry for the late reply, had a big project to do. I typically use tickelmyandroid tool to compile and decompile the Apks since it uses apktool and all that. Never had a problem. Perhaps I can compile them?
That might work. I'm gonna see about tickle my android. I've never used it. Thanks for the info. I'm still doing work on the s4. I'll try to make some time for the tab.
