[REQUEST] I am the nerd that always requests a stock TouchWiz theme to flash over Trigger... I really only do that because of the color scheme and the rounded corners & rounded buttons... I still tweak several things to make it just like I want it. But now that I have flashed a stock theme over Trigger, I have the ugly lockscreens, and I love the ones that come with Trigger. Is it possible to make a clockwork mod flashable zip that will only change the lock screens to Trigger's? To anyone able and willing to do this, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I love to use modified script / tweaked ROM's because of the speed, snappiness & obviously because it's awesome to have devs we love that work hard to bring us something better than "stock."
However, I remember clearly (every time I flash a new ROM (no matter how impressive & beautiful they are) that one of the real selling points for me was definitely the Samsung Vibrant's original "stock" theme (TouchWiz, not stock Android).
As far as aesthetics, there are very few (primarily status bar png's) things I always mod (Pitch black status bar BG, Honeycomb Accurate Battery MOD, sometimes white TouchWiz 2.3.3 wifi icons, I use the fonts from d4a, TouchWiz 2.3.3 data icons (cleaner, but "feels" TouchWiz, & prefer the large button Swype (beta).
Otherwise, I LOVE TouchWiz, especially the Samsung app icons - even though I left the TWiz launcher long ago) and would really appreciate not necessarily all answers...perhaps just a point in the right direction?
If you feel you've wasted your time reading this, I apologize. No need in flaming though. Thanks to anyone willing to take a minute to help me learn more. I love this stuff. Currently my worst obsession.
On to my questions:
Instead of "morphing" things, I mod png's with drag & drop via 7zip, sometimes prior to flashing, sometimes not [1] Is one method better than the other? (Pull & push with Root Explorer)
I've never had a problem doing step one [2] (maybe because of rebooting after the push & by not exiting Root Explorer before the reboot?)
[3] Can I damage the file system, scripts or optimization tweaks by modding png's like this?
I'm cool with APK Manager, Photoshop, swapping/modding png's, but I'm not comfortable taking a chance on messing up my OS to do this [REQUEST] on my own...
[4] [REQUEST] Are the dev teams willing/able to release each ROM with a stock TouchWiz theme for their ROM, or is there an easy way for ME to do this (without screwing anything up)? I know how to MetaMorph, NinjaMorph, etc...but nothing much about development.
Right now I'm running the 04/14/11 Stock TouchWiz KB5 Deodexed Leak with Voodoo, and it is fast & quite impressive.
With KB5 modem, battery is great but data & phone signal are Edge/1 bar @ home. With KA6 or KA7 modem, decent battery, 3G & H @ home, with 3 to 4 bars!
[5] Can running a KA6 modem on a KB5 hurt anything?
I want to be on the Ported KB5 2.2.1 because I want the latest US version (less bugs in my experience), but in Stock TouchWiz.
I realized the port wasn't the Touch Wiz I was expecting, so I switched back to Stock 2.2 KB5.
[6] Can I flash EDT's 100% Stock 2.2.1 theme over the V4G's KB5 2.2.1 port, or will it change the ROM •besides its png's•?
I still don't understand how is it possible to use a theme that works for both Bionix & Trigger...it doesn't make sense to me. [6] Is it because the MetaMorph only affects aesthetics (drawable hdpi)?
And if so, [7] I should be able to Metamorph any 2.2.1 with it, right?
[8] It's easy to MetaMorph flying animations in Trigger, etc...but how do I do that with a Samsung Stock Deodexed ROM?
Thanks a lot. I hope my questions help more than just me!

If you like stock ROMs this is for you. All the features & speed of Trigger, but with a stock theme!
This is bare ass-stock, but modified to work with lock screens & power menu.
Flash with CWM. I don't think screenshots are necessary (and I don't want to flash to it to get some).
No battery mod (maybe later?).
Perfect for a friend who doesn't like the custom looks but *****es about the slow factory 2.1 all the damned time. Thanks!

I installed the VillainROM 1.1, but I deeply miss the awesome gingerbread look I had when I installed Darky's ROM 10.1 on my old SGS 1.
I would like the:
- Gingerbread Overscroll Glow Effect
- Gingerbread Screen OFF animation
Is there any simple way to get it?

Pretty sure you can add CRT via VR Tweaks and if not there are some modded frameworks in the Dev section but have you tried Lite'ning ROM? It has all the effects you want plus a nice blue theme. I switched from VR and after coming from CM7 with Honeybread theme it is almost as good to look at!
Regards.
Thanks! I'll check that out. I also tried to cook a theme @ UOT. Still gotta wait till it's done though.
@Light'ning ROM: Well I personally really don't like the blue theme within Lite'ning ROM. I'd love to have the one from my old SGS1 (Darky 10.1).
Would it be possible to just take the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk and that everything will be the same as Darky 10.1?
I would not use the framework from another phone. Also files would need to be resigned for VR

I got the zip file and flashed my phone with it. Works nice. I have the overscroll efect now, and through VR Tweaks I managed to get the CRT animation. However.... it comes with a very very ugly battery icon.
Might it be possible that if I install that mod, get the latest framework and systemUI from my phone, and then cook with it, that I would have the CRT-animation in it?
Because when I install the mod, and then apply the cooked theme, the CRT animation is gone.
Btw, the CRT animation is WHITE, normally it uses a sort of screenshot. Plus that animation starts you see 1 frame of black. Any notes on both of that?
When I do what I proposed, I actually do get the CRT-animation in de cook. However... it shows many artifacts when the animation plays. I am missing something probably...? It wants to use a screenshot I think, but instead it uses an image that is white with colorful dots and artifacts.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
EDIT:
Found out I had to download Chainfire 3D and install the driver in there.
EDIT2:
No luck.. Doesn't matter how I try: first apply zip, then install driver, or other way around. Always artifacts..
What is the best ROM for themeing? I don't really enjoy Sense and want an as close to stock ROM for the 3D. Any ideas of which one to look into?

i don't know what you mean by stock but if you mean a world without sense
CyanogenMod 7 is your best choice it also has a built in theme chooser so you can make a theme that stays persistent even as the rom gets updated
Also, if you're looking for something that is stock with ICS, Miui looks pretty badass with their ICS theme and launcher pro. That's what I'm on now and have been loving it so far.

The main reason I ask is I did a theme using UOT Kitchen and wanna check it out, I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree and don't think it will flash completely with all the Sense nonsense going on
MIUI is by far the most themed IMO...there are hundreds of ready made themes and the built in theme manager allows you to mix and match lock screen type with icons with drawer type, font etc....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271824 is the ROM

There are tons of options for MIUI
This was built on the stock Verizon wireless 4.1.2, might work for others aswell but untested
YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE A DEODEXED ROM, you have been warned.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, you assume all risk.
I have been a longtime MIUI user, as I enjoy their simple theming techniques....since there is a lack of development of MIUI for our phone, I set out to make the stock rom look as cool as my old phone (never been thrilled by the stock ics text icons in electric blue or any other color, we have these cool arse phones with unappealing graphics....time to change that!). After getting close to 3 days of battery with heavy use (and I mean heavy use, backups, flashing and playing games) and Bluetooth not dropping off in my car while listening to music, I thought it was time to stay stock. (please do understand this is in no way shape an attack at the awesome devs who make roms for us, ad im sure ill eventually start flashing custom roms soon)
lots of the default plain arse black background have been changed to a more appealing dark brown.
Here we go,
What we have here is a BuuF Theme, that still a work in progress.
This theme looks best with the Buuf golauncher or ADW theme and lockscreen theme, however I plan to theme the stock Moto launcher and unlocker.
so far here is whats themed:
contacts
deskclock
geniewidget
gmail
parts of homescreen
messaging
mot camera
moto email
phone
settings
systemUI
framework
apks added and themed:
gallery goolge with 4.2 camera (with working photosphere) <---this will change your device name in build.prop to work properly
miui apps added and themed:
MiFileExplorer
MiNotes
MiuiDeskclock
MiuiMusic
mods included:
1% battery
dsp manager
photosphere
I also have made the corresponding BuuF GoLauncherEX theme and a BuuF GoLocker theme I will be releasing shortly..
the clock in my screenshot is a beautiful widget witht he andromeaBuuF theme applied (I plan to make my own to match this theme in the future)
as this theme is a work in progress, things can and will constantly change...
Please do comment and ask for requests, but please do know I work full time and have a family, so be patient.

i'm a long time both buuf and miui fan (it even sounds compatible :cyclops and enjoyed/abused your work in various forms - importing/exporting, modifying for various devices, etc. like yourself, working hard (to the best of my knowledge <> which is rather poor) to customize my phone not loosing performance.
1. is there any chance that you make an updated buuf theme for TSF Shell (launcher)? i can fw the launcher and existing buuf theme/shell .apks if you decide to do it.
2. couldn't find any of your work for go launcher ex - went through all the themes/locks last night and there's no sign of bytegobuuf!?
thnx for yor work, there are people who really appreciate it!
