Hey everyone,
Ive just made the switch over to Eugene's MacnutR12 build from TW's Onyx\Obsidian. I'm having a lot of trouble getting a "stock-like" theme working on the Macnut due to the extensive framework modifications. It just boot loops if you do anything significant to it, and I havent found a good method around that yet. Anyone with more theming experience having anything to input? Thanks for your help!
I've attached what is a good starting point theme. I am basically attempting to mirror the "Stockish theme" that TeamWhiskey put together, but am stumbling along the way. I decided this would be a good community project to start. Please use the theme if you like it, and contribute to this thread if you modify it. Looking forward to what people can put together.
THIS IS ONLY FOR EUGENE363's MACNUTR12 BUILD
To Be Done
Redo the notification bar to look like TouchWiz - having issues w/ this personally, mainly w/ getting the power widget back back to normal size so we can use the stock images.
Already Done
Using customized Gmail (always display images) with colored notification
Updated Settings images with JunkDruggler - they looked better
Added in bits and pieces of TouchWiz images - from Stock 2.2 framework\TW's "stockish" framework
Added custom colored notification icons - Just cause I like them
Added "chromed" WiFi bars, will attempt to remake for 5 bar cell antenna - Found this somewhere, please let me know if you made these, you deserve proper credit
Added my segmented green battery mod - feel free to use whatever images you want, I like the segmented green ones.
For the meantime, enjoy my "basic" theme
Thanks to s0niqu3, Eugene363, Manup456, TeamWhiskey, & JunkDruggler for the modified images.
I really hope you manage to get this theme rolling. I actually really like the TouchWiz notification pane.
Here you go. These are bone stock framework files that work on Macnut R12. I made these to have the improvements that Eugene made in Macnut but with the stock look.
I used the framework files from the Macnut rom as the base and then made my png and xml edits to revert it back to stock look. There shouldn't be any lockups or random reboots.
Also, these don't contain the accurate battery mod but you should be able to add the appropriate pngs and xml files for that mod that you are already using and be fine.
Hope this helps!
using the theme chooser in CM7, i've been loading up honeycomb themes, but that orange volume bar has been driving me crazy.
here's the thin green holo-style volume.
i have to run to the office until late tonight, so if somebody could post a screenshot, that'd be awesome. i didn't even have enough time to put this in a proper update.zip so it still just says installing gapps or some pook.
just dl this then flash it in recovery, after a backup, or course.
i can throw the blue holo in later, if somebody wants it.
enjoy!
-rf
ps. this isn't for the progress bar everywhere. i'm new to MDPI so this is a start. i'm sure somebody w/ more experience and knowledge will do some more if not, i'll work on it more, later.
this appears to take universally if the right theme is chosen.
i have 3 honeycomb themes, but only 2 will allow the thin progress bars universally. minimal magic also seems to allow it once the XML edit is in the right place.
if yours doesn't work, try another theme that allows thin progress bars. i'll try to help if i'm around.
enjoy!
-rf
*edit*
- looked at zDuneX25's honeycomb theme. his XMLs don't point to the holos and indeterminates don't in MDPI, so no thin progress bars in that theme.
- haxzamatic's honeybread alpha 4 works
if you like the honeycomb style ring, sliding tab, or rotary lockscreen, you may like this. if you like the rotary revamped or lense one, i can make it if there are requests for it. it's in there but a bit pooky right now, since i never really use those.
after making a backup, just flash this in recovery.
enjoy!
-rf
ps. this honeycomb lock mod has the thin green progress bars included.
*edit* i found this out while doing the blue thin progress bars. just a note to myself, the theme's i ran were replacing the thin progress bars that are found in apps like TiBU (replacing the HDPI images), yet leaving the volume unchanged, which must be looking in the MDPI folder. now, to work on animated pulldown? animated pulldown done! i don't think anybody's reading this though so i'll just keep it for myself
can someone make this in thin blue bars ?
if anyone can make the bars blue id really appreciate .
i want to compile a CM blue theme
I've seen a few red themes popping up for various roms and wanted to pitch in where I can. I haven't had the time to keep up on a theme to feel comfortable with releasing one so I figured I'd share my work with the other themers in hopes of a more complete themes.
Here is a fully themed (well 80-90%) com.htc.resources.apk with all green and blue changed to red. All the annoying indexed images and more!! It is from Joelz Redefined ICS sense 3.6.
Feel free to use wherever, no permissions needed maybe a quick thank you or credit in your OP, but not expected.
Enjoy!

This is not an apk to install nor is it a zip to flash. This is only for themers that know what they are doing!
Thanks! I already started implementing some images into my own personal theme and they look awesome, good work.
Works with sense 3.6 ics roms, conrom, cleanRom, nils, ineffabilis v1.0
I was hoping someone already did this but I couldn't find it if they did.
I simply changed the png's, using coolstorybro_123's APK Manager 5.0.2, by removing the gb in rgb
because of that some of the skin isn't awesome(imo) and some (like the download bar) can be hard to see.
images ended up like dark redVelvet and some bright red (like in messaging)
You'll need to replace or place in system/app and change permissions to match.
Thanks to coolstorybro_123 for the tool and for making it simple enough that even I could do something with it.
I'm under the assumption these two are HTC skins.. I'm not sure who to thank for them.
I'd be pretty surprised if a skin could do any damage but if it does I'm not responsible.

Hopefully we get that working m10 editor soon and you can edit fusion to complete these skins in red. Stuff like widgets and rosie. Nice work.

There is a work around for some of the m10 files, if you turn these into a normal skin, you can incorporate a older version of a m10 into the skin, will be fully functional and can use m10 tools...

Hi,
I have installed GingerDX (v027) on my X8. In the Theme Chooser I have two themes to choose from: ICS and System (which is the one I use).
I really like how my phone looks as it does now, the only thing I would like to change is the color of the icons in the status bar (and of the main icons, if possible, of Call, Messages, Browser and the like) from green to something else, preferably blue.
I asume the right way to do this is by changing the theme (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I've read that CyanogenMod usually comes with three default themes (one theme in three different colors) and I would like to know where I might be able to find those themes (again, I'm asuming that the one I'm using, System, is one of those three).
I have tried downloading CM7 and extracted the files in the hope that I could find .apk files for the themes, but if they're there I don't know what they're called (there is a ThemeChooser.apk (and a ThemeChooser.odex file that I don't know what does), which I asume would install the app Theme Chooser again, but I don't know if the themes are included in that install).
I am a bit worried, though, that I've misunderstood something, because when I try to apply the other theme, Ice Cream Sandwich, the color of the icons aren't changed (but, there is also a warning when I try to apply the theme about missing assets for my screen size, maybe that is what is screwing things up). But if I have misunderstood this entire thing and a theme doesn't change the colors, then what does (do I need to get a new launcher for that then)? (I have the Nemus Launcher that came with GingerDX by the way)
Okay, this got a bit lengthy, so to recap:
I want to change the standard green color (to blue) without changing much else (I'm not too fond of most other themes I've seen, so the default theme in other colors would be fantastic)
Is it possible to find those default themes, and if so, how and where?
Thank you for your help,
Erica
(A side question: how do I delete the ICS theme?)
The other two themes you are talking about are Cyanbread and Androidian. The ThemeChooser.apk it's the theme chooser itself. They are normal CM7 themes, like ICS. Devs have eventually removed those 2 themes from their ROMs because they were old and not maintained anymore. System theme is the default theme of CM7/Gingerbread. You can't uninstall that one.
The "missing assets for the screen size" it's a bug which appears whenever you try to apply an MDPI theme. It's not screwing up anything, I can assure you that.
Also, what colors are you trying to change? Maybe you could give some screenshots.
You can delete the ICS theme by going into system/apps/ with a file manager with root capabilities.
First of all, thank you for the quick reply! (that was so unexpected - I guess I'm used to slow moving forums)
Secondly, it worked! Once I knew the names of the themes it was easy to find them. Also, thank you for the general info - it's good to know (I'm slowly becomming a little less of a noob).
Erica
Also have a look at themed & apps section....
there are some nice themes created by Chris95X8 & achep...
Is it important how did i send this?
Can some help me get my hands on a free version of steel blue theme? It looks great!!!
(Neo_na, isn't that a bit off topic? Oh well.)
If anyone's curious, here's an update on my color problem.
Installing Cyanbread sort of solved the issue: it changed the icons in the status bar from green to blue and the icon color (as well) from green to blue, which was what I wanted.
It didn't though change the color of the dots at the top of the screen (the ones that show where you are on the desktop) which was still green. I'm guessing, now that I know a bit more about themes and their different options, that it would have been possible to choose to hide those dots, but since I didn't know better I went looking for another solution (another reason for that is also that although Cyanbread is blue, then it's not the right kind of blue that matches the cover color of my phone - yes, I'm a bit of a perfectionist...)
I went looking for themes and found that both ADW and Go Launcher EX had a lot of good ones. I quickly realized, though, that none of those themes changed the status bar (which meant that I was back to my original problem).
So, here's my final solution (at least until I dare try my hand at making my own theme):
I found and installed a CM7 theme whose status bar I liked.
Then found a (in this case AWD) theme whose icons I liked.
Then changed the background image.
= a phone without any green!
(In the end I veered away from blue and I've ended up with a nice light glassy white combination that works really well with my prefered wallpaper. I've still chosen to hide the status bar though, since it's not a complete match and the screen looks better without it. And I've went into the CM7 settings to customize the lockscreen to fit as well as posible - I tried finding Go Locker themes, but none of them were perfect. The only odd bits of stray color is now an orange line that shows when you hit the top and end of the app drawer and I've had to chose to hide the background of the dock icons, since it looked botched on my phone for some reason - both are things I can easily live with.)

Nope, I don't think so. Coz its under themes category with a thread named 'default themes for theme chooser' so I just posted my question in a similar thread, which is, I am looking for a theme called steel blue.
And also since Chris is a Guy famous for theming I was hoping for an answer from him.
@chris - And btw, your xperia s theme looks great mate!!
This might just be pouring fuel on the fire, but...
Neo_na: The reason why I think your post is off topic is because it has nothing to do with the original post (it might fit in with the title, but only if you haven't read the rest of the post).
I think you need to ask your question in another thread, possibly make a new thread for it, if you want it answered (especially since I've already labelled this thread as answered).
Though, just a warning, I think your request might clash with the forum rules (about not promoting or discussion "warez"). Just a heads up.

Lol, I'd rather post in existing threads that are very similar to my query rather than create threads for each and every question, like you probably do (which is like spamming and discouraged by xda). haha.... and no, you're not pouring fuel...... and btw, there's no such thing as private threads even if the thread was created by you..... you're acting like nobody can post or ask anything coz its YOUR thread and only your issues should be solved in this thread. Its like a Guy claiming a public phone Booth to be his alone....,..
