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
Hey guys
I've been looking around for an LCARS theme or desktop replacement for android, but have not found a good one, or one that works on tf201.
I would like a theme for stock ROMS that's in the same style as the system47 screensaver.I'd be willing to pay for it, but it would have to be a finished theme and bug free. Thx.

Good luck, this poor community doesn't appreciate themers. So good luck finding a themer that is willing to develop anything for this ungrateful community.
Hey guys. I just installed my first icon pack ever, DCikons, and now im addicted. I love how themes make all apps look consistant. I hate how stock apps look completely different and different shapes, it looks a mess. So much better on the eyes now.
I saw some freakin awesome icon packs from members here, but i dont have a credit card, so ill have to buy a prepaid card this weekend to get them. Because i gotta have em and like to support the members, especially that Axis pack, beautiful.
In the meantime id like to try more. I dont see a thread that shows free packs. Show all the awesome free packs you found for the community to try!
Just search on xda search tab Nd google you get lots and lots.
I too love the icons!

The easiest way to find the icon packs is to search in the Android Themes forum.
Hi guys,
Just wanted to make sure i am not wrong, after playing with Launcher on my SGS 3 i came to the conclusion that it's just another Launcher.
I was expecting it to change all the phones themes including dial phone book and so forth, it was a big disappointment especially after waiting 7 days for it to open for the first time.
am i wrong, or what ?
thanks

This is your opinion!
But let's be honest to get your hopes up that high to think an app that don't need root permission can change the look/theme of your whole phone. I think that's the disappointing thing.
If you don't like why not just uninstall job done.
I don't get the point in putting down the app due to your own ignorance. I mean why not take your know how and be the creator of an app that does all that you want it to without root. What's that you can't! That right to do all the things you want you would need root.
I'm sick of seeing posts like this no one say you have to use this or any other app.
Get over it! Uninstall! And walk away!

Calm down. There's no need to get upset over a simple question. OP obviously hadn't understood what the app was for. You could have just answered him politely or ignored the thread. He was only asking a question.

Such an app would require root. Seeing as probably a minority root their phones and mess around with it, I don't think it would be with MyColourScreen's time to produce such an app if they wanted to theme everything. Too much code, too many zips to flash, too much theming in general and whatnot.
This app is good for people that want a good luck on their phone. That being said, half the themes on the themer catalogue looks like crap. A lot of it isn't really special in too many ways. Most of them are just cheap with wallpaper doing too much of the work and not the actual feeling of cleanliness. I also don't find these themes to be functional at all in anyway but you either have simplicity or functionality. It's pretty difficult to have both and that, my friends, is why Aviate launcher exists. :good:
Just my 2 cents.
OP: if you want to try the launcher but don't have it currently installed, I can give you a code for it. PM me if you want it. :highfive:

I can understand where you are coming from, I was let down as well...not so much of the things you are opinionating about. What you are asking will require root It is impossible to change dialers and such without a root. Even with root, will be hard to do unless you are running themer found on CM/AOkP and things of that nature.
I personally expected better themes...I knew themer limitation, just didn't think it will be so limited in themes. But hey, it is just beta
im actually looking forward to the time when "My Colorscreen" type themes are available on Themer. Currently everything is a bit simple - not really my taste. I check new themes every few days and a bit underwhelmed.
Again - it is a beta.

I totally agree
themer actually is good for those looking for laucher with simplicity in mind. I do enjoyed changing the themes everyday if i feel bored. The customization options have been added from times to time. Since this is BETA, it will changes periodically. Nothing much should you expected from the BETA release. If it's doesn't suit you then go for others final release
I see that there's some fighting here... I'll tell my opinion about Themer then hehe...
It's just another launcher? Yes it is! However it's an innovative, yet simple, launcher, which requires you one click to have a completely reborn homescreen. I downloaded it with higher expectations, so indeed I got disappointed, but I believe with more time more themes will come and one will really attend my necessities. Also I really like to customize my things, so using Themer limited it, as I wasn't able to change anything after installed the theme, all I could do was select a new one.
I have a fully customized 5 screen HS on my S4 using NOVA, why did I do this? Simple: I enjoy doing this. Although I know that there are many people out there who says Android is difficult to use/manage, what I saw is that most of them get "scared" of the homescreen, Themer is a great option for those people, click here and there, done it's simple and the way I can use without any problems .
I still see a WIP though, I am not following it too much to tell further, but I imagine it's not complete, one thing that made me stop using a theme that I liked (other than I preferring my current NOVA customization) was that when you try sliding to the extreme while on the last page will happen just like a normal launcher, the same with the app drawer, it's not customized like it is in the homescreen. I used plenty themes, they were all beautifully designed, but this app drawer thing got me in my nerves , sure, I have the same app drawer in my NOVA Launcher, but I customized my homescreen in a way that it still fits!
My 2¢ to this discussion...
And @predatorftp I'll speak again what everyone already said: What you're wanting requires root access and I think the developer isn't interested in losing a huge part of it's users because of it. Maybe someday they can add a special root feature, but for now I believe they are still busy with the developing of app basis.
tl;dr:
Pros:
Simple and beautiful, anyone can use.
Cons:
Limited functionality, themes "half-baked".
Opinion:
I prefer customizing, so I go for customizable launcher for sure.
The app description on Google clearly states what the app is...
As that threads like this will only bring flaming

Not for me. Nova on my Padfone X doesn't handle the interface change well. Right now the stock launcher is the only one that works well with and without the tablet dock. Now if you managed to find a version of Nova that supports DPI changes while running, I would love to try it. Sadly our phone is not very popular in the Dev community, so I don't think we will see much support for launchers, roms, or much of anything. I am a little disappointed. If we can get Cyanogenmod support, it would draw enough interest and we might see a lot of cool things, but again, I don't see that happening. I hope I am proven wrong.

I hope you're wrong too. & I wish I knew how to help you be wrong. It would probably take me a while to learn how to be a developer.
I to have went back to stock launcher.not that it was really that terrible. I mean if it takes a minute to go from phone to tablet it's not the worst thing ever, to me.
I had mart luck with solo and apex then I did with nova. Go launcher seem to work pretty good too

I brought up Cyanogenmod, because in order for it to have official or unofficial support, Trebuchet launcher has to work, as well as most to the stock apps packaged with CM. Many users around here choose devices based on ROM availability, with CM being the most popular. A good number of people that use CM like customization, others like modding. Either way, it would actually increase sales for the device and lead to more ROM development. When enough Roms appear, the demand for support for third party apps increases. Basically, CM support means one custom launcher works, providing open source code for the launcher for use in others. It would be the best thing to happen for the Padfone X.
For now, I use custom launchers on my phone and switch back to the Asus Launcher before I switch to the Tablet UI. Google Now Launcher has been my favorite lately, but I have also tried early versions of CM11's Trebuchet.

Sorry to hear that, i certainly did not want to mislead anyone.
You guys know that there is a specific app called Asus home launcher switch that will give any launcher the dynamic display transitions that the home launcher provides

is Padfone X upgraded to 4.4.2?
to see some development here, we need to have entire system dump, without that, you won't see anything here. so someone needs to get entire system/firmware release here...
it's not always how pupular device is, it also depends if system dump available or not also make diffrences for developers to jump in, i hope this is making sense to all?
ADW LauncherEX is working fine for me.
The only things to report are :
Icon added to homescreen when docked missing when undocked. Added icon, then docked again and it was there twice.
Wallpaper chooser crashes, but still applies wallpaper.
Battery widget not playing nice
None of those are serious enough to make me change away from ADW , my favorite launcher.
