This is one of the best themes I've ever seen. Would love it if someone could port it to the Atrix.

Were you able to theme the incoming call (while unlocked) and the slide-to-answer screen?
I'm just waiting for that to be themed over and I think I could live with not having a completely custom ROM for the Atrix.
Could someone post a pic or two? Please.

I made some icons about a month ago that may work well with it.

No worries and I appreciate the message.
BeatBlaster_ and I will keep everyone updated as we port MattedBlues. Although some images will need to be re-created due to different screen resolution, BeatBlaster has the Atrix now so it should make the process speedier than usual .

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.
I stumbled upon this download link for the matted blues theme port that was first posted in this thread.

Amen.
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.
I'm closing this temporary, while I clean the nonsense again and bickering.
You don't learn the lesson after been warned...
Need to be more tough in here.
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... These guys do a lot of effort for FREE and nobody has the right to demand things. Please respect the dev community. If you have nothing constructive to post..don't post.
Second warning.
I can officially say that im a newb at this and finally want to get my feet wet and give it a try.
Im very motivated to do this and promise i wont be half assing it. Besides i don't want to do anything special, just a simple apk file theme.
Can someone point me in the right direction and all the programs i will be needing. And if it will cost anything i would like to know how much as well.
Any feedback is good feedback. thanks guys
I have one hell of a tutorial. Tells you everything about theming. I will send it to you later if you want. I'm at work right now so can't. Pm me your email if you want it.

For now just start decompiling some themes and see the parts of it than you can start editing it. Once your ready to edit you will find each part needs a new program

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.

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.

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!

Thanks for the link, kzoodroid. Been thinking about possibly starting up ROM'ing for a bit now, just never knew where to start.
I haven't had any code projects to work on since I got out of college for summer break... weird that I'm slightly itching to code lol.
Working on a ROM using the kitchen. It's really good for showing you a lot of things you need to do for basics (deodexing, zipaligning, etc.) Just remember that it is "basic" and you can't completely construct a ROM just using the kitchen. Great way to get started :good:

Building Sense based ROMs using dsixda's kitchen is pretty straight forawrd, hardest part was seting it up to run on a windows pc. You pretty much just end up with a deodexed, zipaligned ROM. I haven't done this with my Rezound but have built ones for the Incredible and Eris. You can also de-sense ROMs easily witht his too. Its a good tool to learn teh basics. The next step up is to learn to compile from source or to port over a ROM from another device.

You can't really be shown how to make a ROM. Every Rom is different, and requires different steps.
Yeah I understand that but I mean like for finding where things are located and what some important things do

theres no shortcut to learning how to make roms
id say a large portion of rom devs started out by theming...helps to learn the files structures and what does what...as well as becoming familiar w/ apktool, smali, etc
