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
Updated to work on Nero V1!
Ok, so I don't know about you guys but I'm not a huge fan of how the Nero ROM emulates Gingerbread. I tried flashing Eugene's Ginger clone ROM, and while it's nice it is just missing some of the features I like. So I've made the best of both worlds. I kanged the framework images from Ginger Clone and put them into the framework for Nero. I also changed the toggle switches to be a bit more subtle and I think cleaner. Here's the .zip. you can just flash from CWM
Make sure to click the "Thanks" button if you like the theme!
Thanks this is great

Same here.
Edit: seems to be a problem with recovery and Nero. I can't flash anything at the moment.
if the update fails, you can manually push the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk into /system/framework/ after unzipping the theme. I'll take a look and see if I messed something up in the script

the screenshots are from nero, but what I'm talking about are the theme elements. The way that nero is themed has a green bar underneath of the status settings toggles. Also, the background and pulldown bar are themed and don't look how they do in stock gingerbread. I took the images in the clone framework and transferred them into the Nero framework in order to achieve a more accurate representation of Gingerbread than you normally get with Nero. Am I making sense now?
I do now!

Any chance that this would work with Onyx 4.2 ULF? I'm willing to test it if there's the possibility of it working.
I really love it. It feels more TeamWhiskey than the stock release. You should see if you could do some themeing for them because this rocks.

Hey everyone, I updated the theme for the new release of Nero, V1! Download it now if you wanna get your vibrant looking all spiffy and cool!
Does this include changing the google search widget back to the solid white? Only I have found in Nero v1 im not really a fan of.
no, the search widget still has the transparent look how it is in Nero. I really like the look of it, so I didn't change it
Hopeful, but uh...
Don't beat me up here, but I am running ASOPish 1.1 and have been searching for Gingerbread theme. Clearly I have read that this was made for Nero. Still I'm beckoned to ask, hopefully *fingers crossed* will it work for me?
Well as of now, this is only replacing the file that controls the pull-down menu because Nero already has the right look for the system buttons and whatnot. I can throw together a version that MIGHT work with AOSPish though, if you want to try it out

I would definitely be interested; if I knew how to put it together, I would love to myself.
I'll keep checking in, and thanks for the reply.
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.

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.

FYI, this Black Exodus 0.5 port is only for CM9. Running this theme on Onecosmic or ICS Passion could have side-effect or other undesired behavior, such as boot-looping, or random FCs.

Yea backup is a must. Theme itself should be okay though. He used vrtheme format. I think it is kinda like morph as it only replaces images he changed in framework and sytemUI as opposed to whole apk. Anyways make a backup and flash.

Well, Nexus .pngs are bigger, if that CM9 port to the i9000 has resized all images, it's fairly easy to port them to ICS Passion, the only thing left would be to edit some xmls.
Not sure what .apks would work, but most of them should.

i got the systemui.apk straight from the .zip of ICS Passion
but for the theme, it was already a folder and to upload i had to zip it up, and it seems as if the theme has less files than normal...
I also put the entire theme as attachment.
attached:
-ICS Passion System UI
-Black Exodus System Ui ( i don't think its correct though it doesn't look the same as the Passion .apk)
-The entire theme black exodus
edit: the entire black exodus theme didn't seem to want to be a attachment after i waited 10 mins for it to upload on xda...
so i got it up on multiupload.
