Theme Idea(s) - Motorola Photon 4G

Hello Fellow XDA'ers
Let me start by saying that I am by no means a dev. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to theme. This will take me some time as I am just learning, am working 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs and I also have a 2 year old at home. So please do not ask for ETA's. I will try to release themes in stages. Please look at the poll attached to this thread as it will help me decide what colors to start with. Also iff you have any apps you would like to see themed please leave a comment in this thread of that app you would like to see themed. FYI first theme I will come up with will be bluish in color as blue is my favorite color After that I will start with the #1 color in the post poll and work my way down the list.
I am currently running alien ROM on my phone so I will be using that ROM as a base. If anyone would like to help please let me know. REally need someone who is great at photoshop or GIMP. Also will need tester's also.

Thank you in advance. I will help test...might want to look at homebase 2.1 with 4.2 update as the base it has been really stable for me..

THIS is the way the dev forum should be. "I don't see what I want so I'm gonna make it myself!" instead of whining that less than ten people are working on useless 'upgrades.'
I'm more than competent in Photoshop and I'd be willing to test for you. I'm also familiar with the Android system having messed up a few for myself. I like blue as well.

Good deal. I'll help you test it out.

Even though Alien is nice, it's a few updates behind and dead (most likely forever). Might I suggest Yay's 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM Deodex. Either way I'll be happy to test.

CM7, the latest stock deodex and UbunTop are perfect examples useless. Especially the dumb UbunTop thingy. Wish we had some real devs in here.

I'm alright at Photoshop, and can try to help. Just let me know what I need to do, file settings, etc. specific details and I'll try my best. Probably good to crowd source anyway..

ubuntop? i thought that was a theme ;P
but yea homebase or the deodex'd stock are a good place to start looking forward to it
edit: also good for you man.. thats the attitude i was looking for when i posted my rant
http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/277-How-to-Theme-Part-1-Necessary-Tools how to theme

Wish you luck... I wanted to do a theme myself but been so busy... that I fear I could not give it the time required. But glad you are stepping in to work on it.
I can contribute by making icons... this is what is floating around as im currently expanding them.

Alright, sounds good!

I like that you have taken the initiative to do this, I could help with gimp/ps work (was head of LinuxMint art team) as well as testing (still a Mint dev). Would love to get into android theming and dev as well, if there I s anything I can do to help, just let me know.

I'm in no way a PS/Illustrator expert...I can do a couple things here and there, and get by, but I also have access to a creative team at my work and maybe we can work together on some stuff!

This is turning out to be great. Everyone pitching in. I am glad to see this. This is how xda should be. Thanks everyone. When i get this in full swing i will try to get everyone involved.

Finally had sometime to sit down and study. This seems easier them I originally thought it would be. I am going to start writing up a plan of attack for this project.
Also if people could start replying with what they look for in a theme (i.e. battery meter, transparent notification bar, themed apps, etc). If you want themed apps please list what apps.

holy **** som dropped a clue!??... typical
(very,very excited for it)
Not nice to ask devs for ETA's. Be patient and goodness will come your way.
really op? Be patient. Not only are they doing this on their spare time, but they update their roms faster than the actual phone manufacturers. So relax and enjoy the awesome rom's they have out now. Bionix 1.3 is amazing. I'm running that on my phone and I flashed Frost on my other vibrant. Frost is amazing as well. I can't decide which to use daily lol.
Holy crap... Can't anyone just be content with the amazing work that is bionix-v 1.3 and Frost?
Frost was JUST released! These things don't get made overnight. They've said they're working on it, and they cannot possibly begin to fathom what kindof bugs they'll encounter in the development process before they can even release the first test to us.
Som- Thanks to you, Krylon, and the rest of the team for all your work and putting up with our impatience.
P.S. When will you have Honeycomb working on our phones?

That's absolutely true. They do amazing things in their spare time that they could spend in other things (family for example) to give us this amazing roms. Patience,patience,patience................
Look som and TW does this as a hobby and to be generous. Stop being impatient and asking when. They have lives too. It will be done when its done. Id much rather have a finished product ie. A daily driver instead of 1000 betas, which is why it takes time.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Everyone's telling him to relax and such, but he isn't rushing anyone. He just asked for an ETA in a relatively polite manner, trust me I've seen worse. Some people seem to think they're owed roms by the devs.
i'd rather stay with 2.2 than have a buggy 2.3 rom. but i know some people have to have the newest sometimes...It wasn't long ago that everyone was screaming to get 2.2 on their phone. It's kinda like the guy that sold his xp laptop the first day vista came out. Just saying that there is no need to rush updates to operating systems.
@ som thanks for the clue and yes I do got patience just was a little curious... and u got some dope ass roms I've tried just about everyones but find my way back to yours.. and every time I see your post I think of your picture with the purse (no homo) Jajajaja... what's up with that?

i have been reading the heck out of these xda posts and your tw forums and i appreciate all the good work you do. i've asked a few questions between here and chat, but i have learned most by reading and being patient. when i have some money, i plan to donate to you guys but i am broke right now. i am presently running your bionix 1.3 rom w/the latest overstock 1.3 kernel, very few problems so far, however i am still evaluating battery life after turning off bln w/bln pro app. i do plan on flashing bionix 1.3.1 soon. again, thx 4 the excellent work that tw does! take your time with future roms as i can see the quality (not quantity) of your work. in the mean time (while we patiently wait), thank you for the buttery smooth 1.3+ roms you have developed!
Yes, we are working on it as Som said. Almost messed up my phone pretty bad last night doing so. I got to see all the purty colors. lol, and lost all contents on BOTH sd's. heh.
Currently running the i9k leak but it also has it's issues.
As far as Honeycomb, I have looked into porting it, however, due to the fact our phones can't accept a boot.img, it will be a hell of a task and frankly, I just dont have the time for that.

Thanks for all the hard work. Definitely do not blame you for getting a little irked about the situation. It's one thing to port a theme, it's another to not ask permission to do it. I'm eagerly waiting for this theme to be ported to the Atrix, it's one I've had my eye on for a while now.
agreed. I would love to see a full port. I think the non-official one seemed incomplete
Thread cleanup, can you please calm down. Thanks.
Seriously, if the porter does this, I will be paying big bucks for it. I LOVE this theme. It would be great if they let us know if it's being worked on or not. I'd rather me not think one is coming when it's in fact, not. Thanks so much and great work.

So far it's just been drama brought on by the owner of matted blues, with nothing to show for it. Imo leave the original links in this thread _until_ we get the official port.

Edit: Opening again, to some of you...enjoy your infractions .
@ all, please don't come up here again bickering and demanding things. Post things that will contribute and not whining why the dev hasn't post anything. This is not customer service office...

[Q] [Request] [Solved] Custom Dialer Themes For MoPho (Updated 11/19/11)

Does anyone know where to find a custom dialer theme for the photon or how to make one. I would like a different one to match my shady blue theme. Im rooted, deodexed, running homebase with an unlocked bootloader and 1.3 oc kernel. I would also like to learn how to do it if anyone knows. Thanks!
PS: I will also attach the original Blur Dialer and Blur Phone apk's just in case it may be needed.
EDIT: Thanks to MedicStuder and Xtremekilla09 the new blur dialer was ported to the photon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19515450#post19515450

[VIEW] Themer/graphic artist WANTED for CypherROM

Ok, like the heading says, I'm looking for somebody with graphics knowledge who can help CypherROM look more polished. You don't have to be the most saavy when it comes to digging around in the resource folder as myself and unixdood are good at that and just need the graphics to go with the ROM. If interested, please PM me ASAP as I am moving into the beta stage testing of my ROM and want to get it right before releasing a final build. Even if you're new to rooting but are good with photoshop don't hesitate to PM me as I like people who learn as they go (like me lol). I have a rough logo that is on the thread in Evo View development and have a few other images or the originals that I will send whoever would like to take up this task and get mad propz for doing so. Thanks for checking this out!

DEVELOPMENT - kexec for the DX2.

Okay, everyone who has Linux and has the experience with it let's get working on this.
Motorola has apparently released the sourcecode for the DX2. It's called the Motorola OSMC on sourceforge.
Here is the link: Motorola OSMC for the Droid X2
Get your environments set up and start poking around. If you need help setting up your development environment, ask. I don't have access to my personal laptop from work, so I can't help you during the day, but over this coming weekend (31MAR2012-01APR2012) I will edit this post with an update on setting up your development environment. It will be a generic setup as I run Fedora 16 and your Linux flavor will probably be different. You should be familiar with git, yum/apt-get, eclipse (possibly), bash & shell scripting, and compiling from source.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS and will take time!
Please keep this thread clean for development use. Once we have something concrete, I will start a new thread for testing. Thank you all for your cooperation and assistance!
Ciao!
Setting up your Android repo for use and build environment. (LINUX ONLY!)
1. Go to the Motorola OSMC and click the Downloads link.
2. Click the Droidx2_VZW link.
3. Click the DTN_150.30 link.
4. Read the README.txt file and go to http://source.android.com/source/download.html to set up your repo (don't forget to download the files as well as outlined here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html.
5. Follow the directions exactly. For various Linux distributions, your commands will be different than what is listed in the HowTo on SourceForge.
Please note that this is in no way designed to be a tutorial. This is for developers only. Please do not ask questions if you don't know what you are doing. (Sorry to be a PITA, but I don't have time to answer questions that you should already know the answers to.) Also, please note that I am using Fedora 16 as my Linux distro, the SourceForge HowTo uses Ubuntu and Mac OSX.
(I will update this as I find information that is relevant to this process and kexec.)
Ciao! For now.
Reserverd number II for future use!

There will not really be any testing for "users" to actually do... This will require pretty in-depth knowledge of Linux/Android.
This is an attempt at getting the DX2 to boot a different kernel. Once we can get that kernel booting and stable, then it will be up to others, to build the ROMs. A custom kernel will allow the DX2 to be overclocked, run ICS (with the correct kernel, version 3.0+), and other fantastic things. So, don't expect anything spectacular out of this, even if it does work.
I don't mean to sound negative, however, I also don't want to get anyone's hopes up that I can work wonders. It will be up to others to take this farther, IF we can get it working.
As I stated in the OP, let me get a viable platform working and we will see where it goes from there.
Ciao!

sir, I know you can do it though, it'll just make our device more kickass and awesome. so thank you for taking this on, and I'm fairly new to linux, so i probably can't help at all, but I can't wait to see where this takes us.

You just told me to not expect spectacular things when my phone is able to run ICS.
