Hey guys,
I am on the way to totally redesign my app and I came up to the decision that I want to have a consistent design of my app. I really like ICS' "Theme.Holo", but I want to support pre-ICS devices (also 2.x) too. Now I wanted to ask you, if there is any way to achieve this (which I haven't found yet) or something like a compability package with the graphics & styles?
Thanks in advance!
I Also want this!
i think this is exactly what you are looking for!

I think you didn't understand me. I want to use the ICS theme on previous Android versions, not the default theme of each android version.

previous android versions did not have a default theme for apps. That is actually the point of the Holo theme, to bring uniformity to Android.
omg, you really don't want to understand me? i don't mean DefaultTheme i mean, the theme which is set by default in the Android OS (and might be customized by the !OEM!)
I am just asking for ICS' Holo Theme for preICS

Thanks for your post of a question in the correct section, but if I am correct there is a theme and apps section for this board. If you spend a little time with the search feature in that section you might have your answer. Most of the themes listed there ( agreed there arent many ) are applied through the use of meta-morph. If you need more help be sure to click the RED text in my sig, it will help out loads.
am curious that can i get those themes from the official channel like market..bec i just started to play with android eco system. and won't be comfortable using rooting & any other type of customizations..
May i know if the launcher can make any significance in the appearance?

No you need to be rooted some use metamorph others clockwork. There are easy to follow directions to get this done. Launchers will only make minor changes
If you ain't rooted. then you ain't having unprotected sex are ya?
root now.
which would be the best launcher with more addon themes ?

Hi guys, I need help and instructions about how porting the interface of native apps customed MIUI (like Settings, Messages, Phone...) on Enomother.
I can access to the ROM files and sign the modified ROM for working, but how is the correct way and where are located the custom UI files?

*removed for my jerkness*
I need help, not "wow"...
Bah i feel bad being a jerk.
They are two separate ROMS. They use different Framework. Hence all of the differences.
Just make a choice. MUIU or Enomther. This is why ppl are saying *wow*.
Guys, is only the customization of three miui native apps (phone, messages, settings) that I need, is really impossible porting this on Enonmther?

themes simply change the fonts and images being displayed and the framework determines where those fonts and pictures will be displayed among many other things so no a theme will not get your fix either...
pull out the images from MIUI that you want,resize them to the correct sizes if you have to for the rom, put em in enomther framework, zip up framework, rename to framework-res.apk, and push to your phone.

Perhaps your interpretation is correct :/ .... (shrug) ...
@matiu ...
I guess I (and others) ... probably don't understand the appeal here ... if you want MIUI functionality (or look and feel) ... the general question would be why not use a MIUI based ROM ....
Help me understand what the appeal of using my ROM with a MIUI look/feel is exactly?
Outside of your reasoning ... what you're requesting is no easy task for sure ... would take lots of skill/talent/effort (especially given the lack of source code for MIUI [to my knowledge anyways]) ... :/ ....
Also perhaps labeling the thread with "[DEV]" is a little misleading ... this is more of a "[REQUEST]" that I can tell/understand ... I get a strange feeling the demand/interest/help for such a request would likely be "low" ... just a guess.
But again ... lots of effort involved with your request ... I personally am not even about to try sry!
But thanks for spelling my name correctly in the title! lol
~enom~
Lol. Even the Man has spoken. Dude give it up.
And you should be asking the fellas doing Miui instead. And I mean the fellas in China doing it. Not the guys translating the Miui rom for us in xda.

Not to rip on you because I hate that but I just read this over again and I have come up with the proper response....huh?!
Is there a valid reason to not just use MIUI if thats what you want?
I think Enomther is the best ROM for Nexus One, I tried MIUI ROMs but sincerely for me it's better Enomther (functions, stability, battery ecc..).
I only want the "iphone" style of native apps (phone, messages, settings) because they are a lot of better for me and for my everyday use.
I don't want a porting of MIUI launcher, just the customization of these three apps, and in addition (if possibile) the pop style ecc...
I believe that they should be only image file or more, why we can't make this?
XDA Developers has ported Android on windows mobile devices, this is more difficult to do?
P.S.: I haven't write [DEV] on the title of this topic, probably a moderator did this, however yes, I'm not a developer but if you tell me how exactly I have to do, I will do it.

lol I think even for an experienced & skilled dev it takes alot of time to do this (if possible), I don't think normal people can do this because it's whole lot of changes in everything. But as dowmace said, why don't you just use MIUI itself if you like its elements? Enomther is a stock android un-themed (except the Manup themed one) but MIUI is a whole new & different version of android that doesn't even look like stock android. almost everything in it is changed...

Awesome guide http://teambamf.net/showthread.php/718-How-to-flash-a-ROM
Easiest way is to download stuff from market such as beautiful widgets and go launcher. With those two you can download themes and widget packs that are much easier for a new comer to understand than flashing a theme that may break your Rom.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
I've read that but like for cool themes it says I for CM7 or for DasBamf and like whars the difference between a rom and a theme x(

Roms are the operating systems of the phone, so to speak. Themes make them look how you want. For example, changing all button presses to blue. You need to install a rom, as someone linked a few posts up. Then from there you will have to install the theme. If its a sense based rom and theme (similar to what your phone was stock), then the theme will be flashed through recovery. If it is an AOSP rom and theme (CM7, OMGB) then there is a theme changer included in the apps to easily change themes. I suggest you read the faq's on here and on the other sites to grasp how to flash roms before you tackle themes so you don't get yourself into too much trouble! Good luck.

haha... I have a feeling you confused him even more.
I find its impossible to explain what a ROM is to someone. Only way for them to understand is to see it and use it with their own eyes.

Well i tried. "A" for effort? haha
Here is a little write up on what a rom is for him if he's confused
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/
you have 2 options also.
1. find theme you want first then READ THE OP of that theme thread and flash the rom they say its for, then flash theme.
2. find a rom you like the best then find themes that are compatable.
either way your gonna need to get comfortable with flashing items. It may take you a few tries to get the set up that works best for you.
I had the same question... (yaay! noob searched before starting a thread!!) Thanks for the responses. And it DOES make sense to me, so original poster should have little/no difficulty doing either.

Okay, so even though this is my first post here I've been reading this forums from the shadows for a while now and I thought it was time to ask for something that gives me real bad headaches. No need to say that I've read all similar posts and still didn't find an answer.
The thing is that I'd really like to have color emojis on my i9300 running stock TouchWiz 4.3.
As far as I know, you can not have color emojis on < 4.4 KK because it seems .ttf doesn't support colors. I've also read somewhere that another reason is CBDT / CBLC tables are necessary and they are only supported in 4.4 and above.
(On a side note, a friend of mine did have color emojis on his i9300 running 4.3 as well)
The question is, is there any way to backport CBDT / CBLC tables support or whatever from KK to JB?
Thank you!
PS: I don't know if this is the right place for asking this, so mods feel free to move this elsewhere

Change the theme.
Hello,
Are there any kind souls who can share the latest mobile theme editor (v4.15 if I am not wrong...) to everybody? Apparently, I read from everybody that Samsung pratically rejects everybody that requests for it, even including professional themers. And whats more, I am not even a themer... However, I am desperate to make my own custom themes as the themes in the theme store sucks and are full of childish themes. I know that there are which shares the mobile theme editor but they are not up to date and most of the UI in Android M cannot be themed.
Or perhaps some themers can help me make a theme for me? If you can, please tell me and I will send some screenshots about the theme that I want to be implemented on my phone.
Anyway, if you are Samsung Developer, please only make the request compulsory if somebody wants to publish his/her theme to the theme store and make the Samsung theme editor public to everybody so that we will be able to make our own custom themes.
Thank You for reading! :laugh:
Cheers,
XenRon

I've been doing Theme based mods (and more) since the days of my HD2 and S3. I used to use the UOT Kitchen as well as home brewed hacks. I am currently using the outdated V3.x.x Samsung Theme Editor that I found somewhere on XDA. It works...but barely. It's missing many options of my G930W8 stock rom.
I have researched and it seems Samsung is tight about allowing anyone to use their theme software. Even if you apply and jump through the hoops as a developer, other users reported that they are strict and/or lazy to approve.
It's just a cosmetic theme editor. Really quite harmless and hard to mess up.
Would like to see version 4.x.x available to folks like us.
Since nobody wants to share, J am going to try applying! I am left with the last step which making the application icons...
Will get back to you guys as soon as I get my results!

I want the damn editor too. I wouldn't even sell the themes I make, I just want to make my own. I have no UX / UI stuff to put on a portfolio so I'll probably get rejected from the get go
Hi guys the latest version of theme editor is 5.0.20.Has anybody got the latest version? If yes please share the download link...
I'm done with everything except for the icons... Arghh those damn icons.
I just have the 3,0
