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

This is back up and running again guys, Give a big thanks to Af974 who was able to open up the threads super quick.
This is basically a Theme Request thread themers can refer to , to pick up projects people want, or to get feedback on ideas they have personally.
This is also if anyone makes a theme and wants to show off screenshots before they release it (or not).
I always take a lot of consideration into these requests and I hope other themers want to use this thread also.

MY SPOT
I was wondering if you could possibly do a theme for MikShifted-G v1.5 based on the monster lock ring? I remember Dread7 did a monster theme for CM7 which was really nice. You could probably just do a skin of it with a metamorph for the things that can't be skinned. Thanks in advance!

Ill put it on a list in the OP
I can't find it now. But I definately have a few requests for you. Great idea BTW
Would it be possible make a Disturbed (the band) theme? I guess if possible I would use any ROM that this would be made for, up to the themer on choice of ROM.

I added it to the OP.
BTW: If you dont specify any type of ROM then whichever themer takes it up will probably just use the ROM they do they most theming for
I have one personal request but after I am done with that if no themer has picked yours up yet I will get to yours.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the "Today in History" HTC widget compatible with the Supreme Sense V2 ROM? It loads fine, it just don't seem like it can be activated as is, like its missing something thats required that may be found in the ROM you guys are pulling the sense 3.0 from. I would have asked directly in the ROM thread however I don't have 10 posts
Also I'm looking for an all black rosie or transparent, I would give it a go myself but I'm not sure how to edit the rosie. Last but not least It would be great if the full Wood theme could be ported in. All black or wood grain is the way I roll, I themed my own black version using bits and pieces from every theme thats been rolled out to make it perfect for my taste, I still have to work on the widgets and the Rosie then it'll be perfect, but it definitely would be awesome to get the fully themed Wood, widgets and all, so I can switch between the 2.
I really couldn't be more happy with my Evo Shift I do appreciate you guys work and hopefully in the future once I get all the framework aspects down of this compile, I can contribute something as well. Anyhow thats all just thinking out loud throwing idea's around of what I personally would like to see accomplished. If any of that could be tackled that would be great.

For your black theme I released an all black theme yesterday.
About the today in history widget, well maybe strapped365 can look at it but hes the only one who messes with the ROM itself.
as for a wood theme I will add it to the OP. Maybe a themer will get around to it soon
There are some 2.1 widgets that do not play nice with the 3.0 stuff added...

Yeah I kind of worked over the black version theme with a blend of the Supreme Sense v2 theme layout and edited a few aspects of prboy1969 transparent status bar mod and rolled it into 1, but I still haven't come across a rosie that really tops off what i'm trying to accomplish. A transparent rosie could be ideal, and maybe a remapping of the personalize key if possible, to messages. I need to learn how to edit the rosie

Yeah, I have it, just not quite the same though as a full CM theme, the ADW launcher theme looks good, but a full theme would be leagues above it.

I need to take up one of the sense requests. Ive just been busy
EpicBlues update?
Your EpicBlues theme port for Supreme Sense was my all time favorite. But it doesn't work with the newer versions. I'd like to see an update of EpicBlues for Supreme Sense, MikG, or (and?) Synergy!
Thanks!

What's the most beautiful devastating cm7 theme you guy's would suggest to me? I just want a new cool look with some colors and some originality... not those boring themes.
thanks
I based my theme off of a theme called Mixer, but then I pulled what I consider the "best parts" out of multiple themes and combined them together, to make my own CM7 theme.... plus some of my own editing as well.
I also like the Elegance theme too. Just go check the CM7 Theme Chooser thread in the main Android theme forum, it has links to over 200 themes.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I suggest theme chooser themes on the market gives you like every theme out there in a list with links to the market or the web to download
im using epic blue n bold. looks amazing, also if they arent ment for qhd just use it to see what you think t wont kill you
Look into the LunarUi and MIUI theme for CM7. I like those two the most.
Thre are plenty of threads with CM7 themes in them. You'll just have to look through them all like the rest of us until you find what fits you. Theme Chooser Themes is a nice wee app as was already suggested. Make sure you also download any lockscreen sliders and extras that come in morph/zip themer files so youget the fullest experience from any themes you try. I would suggest finding something you like through Theme Chooser Themes, then go to the webpage on a PC so you can see everything properly.
I am currently using the Minimal Bread theme with the Honeycomb Lock for the lockscreen.

Has anyone come across any good themes for MIUI? I am loving this ROM but would love to change it up some.
Miui v4 is a great one, if you like the Miui stock look but want something a little sharper/more modern.
Probably my favorite is the theme "Metro." It's worth checking out.
Where do I get new themes?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
This one was awesome when I was on MIUI:
http://blackandroidtheme.blogspot.com/p/miui.html
I'm currently rocking NeonGT. Here's a link to the series, they have a few different colors and they're all very well done. Also, I plan on making a theme of my own pretty soon that you might be interested in when the time comes.
Do a search for MIUI.us on Google. Under development in the forums you will find themes. Also I just found Micentral(click on themedex) has all the good themes with links to original post.
If you open up the "Themes" app, you can click "Resource Detail".
You can view all of themes available. Some may show in Chinese on there, but when you install it it is all in English.
Oh and also:
I prefer mixing and matching parts of themes.
Just go to whatever theme you want (has to be downloaded already).
And un-check whatever you don't want to apply.
I prefer the Black Ice lock screen, so I would go to Black Ice, scroll down, and un-check everything but that.
hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS

Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that has a different feel?

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.
PS Holo is beautiful

Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.
