Hi guys,
I have a black Lumia 800 but I bought a cyan case to try out. I like how it looks, but I quickly realised that none of the theme "accent" colours available looked right with it.
Here's my question: can anyone with a cyan lumia confirm that their phone comes with a special cyan accent? Or does it default to the standard wp7 blue?
Secondly, if it is the case that cyan lumias have a unique colour theme, does anyone know an easy way to add it to the black lumia?
Much appreciated, cheers.
Matt
p.s. the forum just told me I may only post questions in Q&A forums, but there isn't one for Lumia, so there it is.
Don't you have Nokia Blue as an option on yours?
None of the theme colors match the cyan accent of the cyan lumia version. Especially not Nokia blue. I use the mango orange theme instead.

The Teal theme is the closest match. Not my favorite though.

I have Nokia Blue but that doesn't match the cyan case.
Thanks guys, I guess the next step is to figure out if there's any easy way to get a 'custom' accent set up on the phone.
It's times like this when I wish Windows Phone wasn't so dumbed-down.

It's not possible to add accents until someone can manage to get registry access on the Lumia and that means someone needs to figure out how to interop unlock the Lumia so... don't hold your breath.
The default Windows Phone blue (not Nokia blue) is the closest match. It's what ships as default on the Cyan version I'm pretty sure.

Interesting. I found that the default Blue still didn't match the Cyan case very well, which is what made me assume that the Cyan Lumia ships with a Cyan accent!
Update: So I thought I'd give it a proper chance, with the Windows Blue theme, and actually how well it matches depends on the light it's under. Outdoors I'd say it's a pretty perfect colour match. Under indoor light, not quite so much.
O2 now provide the current accent colour for the theme
I have made new theme. Is it cyan??

I was looking for something to work on to gain a little more experience with photoshop so I adjusted one of the wallpapers from Zedge or somewhere to fit my screen properly. I will be happy to modify others if you send me the file. Please include any specifications i.e. you want the main image to show below the clock or at the top or centered etc. Just find this image in gallery and set it as wallpaper after choosing the correct screen type it shouldn't need any cropping.
If this isn't useful just let me know and I'll remove the post. I've been using these awesome roms for a couple months now, and I'd like to make some sort of contribution to the group, and since none of these devs would likely have the amount of time needed to get me rolling making roms worth using I'll try this for now.
Thanks,
Matt
Neither this nor any other image was created by me originally. I just changed the shape of it. If I'm breaking a rule or modifying your work without permission just let me know and I'll remove the image/s

couldn't have said better. I like the overlap but too much grey. I'd like to see the cyan color to be more of an ice blue

I was in one shop and the back of the phone and top front edge looked dark grey but then I went into another shop and it looked definitely black. Is there only one colour (Carbon Grey) or does it come in black also? I prefer the black and am in UK.
Thanks!

Carbon Grey (AT&T).. That I'm aware of they should all be the same color regardless if branded or otherwise... But I could be wrong
I googled it, and somehow have the feeling that it's carbon-gray phone only. The phone is black, but the sleeve is carbon-gray.
Mine is carbon-gray too. You don't realise it until you look at the edges around the screen though.
I read somewhere in early Titan days, someone in US went for an accessory replacement and the back sleeve he got was black instead of carbon-gray from HTC. Any pics on the net showing the difference? I feel colour blind!
I swear the unit on display in Carbone Warehouse in Selfridges London, is all black - front and back. I know this because I never liked the grey colour so the black colour there immediately hit me.
If anyone knows of any links to a black cover please let me know.
Cheers!
I'm visiting the store! I need to understand this difference

Get yours out (the phone that is) and compare the two side by side and let me know. It is the working Titan anchored to the wall. In basement, near TVs.
OK I just received my Titan from Expansys this morning. So far I am loving the phone!
FYI, the model is a Euro model with spanish packaging and leaflets. However, the back case does indeed appear to be black rather than the lighter carbon grey version. I AM SO HAPPY about this
Now to leave it to charge for several hours.
I believe the carbon grey backing is specifically at&t's version of the Titan( they released it late in the u.s. and wanted it to be slightly different. I have that specific Titan but have purchased a spare Euro(black) cover on eBay because you are definitely right, it looks much better!
Also if you take a look at the coming the titan thread, I posted some pics! Hope it helps!!!

Mine is definitely black. What I can't figure out if it is metal or plastic. It feels like plastic which should be a good thing for reception.
I wanted black, I got black. Brill!
drupad how on earth did you get so many thanks? I only have 91 and I started and collated one of the biggest threads on the HD2 forums - with almost 2 million views and 2.5k posts and 91 thanks lol!

Like that
I paid the mods!
nah, kidding!
I have many friends now on XDA so we thank each other for even saying 'Hi'!
nah, kidding!
I used to develop when it was 'Windows Mobile' - did 5+ ROMs and Mods for Toshiba TG01 (the first snapdragon phone ever!)
I was also active for a bit on Android forums after that. Made themes etc, so grateful users do thank me. Never did donations, so thanks was everything I get
EDIT: gave you 7 out of my 8 thanks for today Might make a little difference

Got my Titan on Ebay U.K. a couple of months ago. Very very Black

Thank you so much Drupad. Greatly appreciated! I just thanked you lol!
I'm looking through the themes and wow...all of you have done some impressive work. I'm looking for something a little simple though. I just want to get rid of all the ugly white backgrounds in the settings, email, contacts etc. Most importantly the email and settings screens. I don't use the contacts screen too much and I don't use the stock messaging app either.
I think I can snag the dark Google play apk from another theme in here so that's done already. If you have any tips on how I can change these colors (invert black to white and white to black) on the few HTC skins that would be great. Not scared at all to get my hands dirty as I'm a programmer/developer for my day to day job. Just haven't done much in the android scene.
I've found that if you are running Kangs Chaos ROM there is a flashable zip that themes the whole phone black and blue I will see if I can find the thread for u and link it

What file do you have to edit to get the text message white background to black?
I have searched everywhere for this and cant find anything other than pnemonia theme. I love the theme dont get me wrong god knows the hours it took to go through everything to do that and he went through em all! It is perfect if you like the color. Kinda like a sports car. Who doesnt like a ferrari but what color everyone will pick a different one. Ive never made a theme before and working 60 hrs a week and barely can keep stuff updated. I have vacation in a month and i may just read up on it and make one. Maybe i could ask cho or timberwolf for few pointers for lil donation on mikmik. Timberwolf prolly knows as much as anyone on themes for the latest roms. Black is my fav but I just settle for blue. I just want something simple. No fancy icons, just black backgrounds with white letters. Matte clock and such. Ive got few new skins i found but i had nothing to do with any part in making em nor do i know who did and i dunno rules on that? Dont wanna make anyone mad without asking to post there stuff. Do a search for blue matte, drop dead red and black HD skins and to whoever made em tyvm love them!

the DLX is to be released in china on dec 6th. For the sake of a little customization do you think it will eb possible to get our hands on the hosuing from some of these models and swap it out. Level of difficulty? They will come with generic HTC branding and in white brown and black. Personally id like to get that zvw logo off my device!!! Thoughts?

I'm hoping to be able to do this as well. It would be fantastic to make my own HTC One X++ by using the white casing from the J Butterfly...
Agreed I would definitely be gunning for the white case! this phone would be gorgeous with that white case on it! Like a one x sleeper!
Whoa ! Great idea but i wonder how difficult it could be ? Won't be an easy fit for sure
well there is no hard eveidence for this but it seams as though the chinese dlx will support all the same bands as the US LTE version which would mean exactly the same chip set and therefor exactly the same dimensions. Now rather or not that will mean its a simple swap is beyond me. It might be near impossible but only time wil tell. Can't wait for someone to try this out!!! I would do it myself but i've got big clumsy fingers and poor knowledge when it comes to these types of electronics and their internals(havent spent a whole lot of time ripping my phones apart)... I think its got a decent amount of promise though!!!! =D
I hope so, I really wanted a white phone.
Just wanted to share the custom skins that I am currently working on producing. I know there are tons of different places that do skins that are cookie cutter and let you pick colors, or just an image to print, but to those of us out there who want to stand out and make our phones unique, that doesn't quite cut it. I want quality materials but not the pick your color and look like the person next to you idea. I can appreciate what companies like Dbrand offer, but I want to be able to customize them a bit more. I will be offering some more basic ones like theirs down the line, but I am looking to give that fully custom experience to those out there who truly love their devices and want to show them off. There are some people out there who hate seeing their carrier branding or company names plastered on their device. There are those who are extremely brand loyal and want to proudly support them and show those around them what they are carrying. Whether you want your favorites sports team logo with a twist, you favorite rom developer / team logo, or even you own company logo to draw some attention when you pull your phone out, I want to deliver that experience.
I have been working on some of the skins and templates I have as well as testing different materials for ease of install, look, and durability. The Nexus 6 skins are 90% done in my eyes and the materials have been ironed out for the main part. I am looking to make skins that are truly unique and able to give you exactly the look that you want on your device. I will be taking orders and shipping soon. I am currently going to be pushing them locally in the Chicagoland area. There are a couple cell phone stores that I know that are willing to keep them on hand as well. Looking for some feedback on what you see here and some other possible ideas that you would like to see. After I get some feed back on what I have been working on, I will move forward. Looking forward to hear what you have to say.
UPDATE: To make things easier, please PM me, or email me at [email protected] if you are looking to order one. Trying to keepup on every message on the forum hasn't been the easiest with family things currently. The email listed is specifically for this project and I will be checking it multiple times daily!

Thanks. That was the first one I did on my Nexus actually. Didn't want to take it off to test the others, but had to... There will be a future revision to it when I get the materials I am waiting on....
if it were all black like original venom that'd be sweet, can't wait for you to come with them, I already know I'll be placing a order ?

Yeah man...! Should be epic...!
Stuff in the works...
The venom skin: waiting on white carbon fiber to do it the way I want...
Iron man skin: definitely possible. I can see if I can throw one together... You looking like the arc reactor and maybe eyes showing through?
Testing : ghost images
Getting the idea of ghost images. The colors in use are for testing til I get my materials in.
Any feedback appreciated.
Nice work! Are you going to be able to have cutouts for the NEXUS lettering? I'd be interested if that's possible. I'm looking for a bright red and shiny skin. Dbrand or Slickwraps don't have bright, shiny colors.

Can most likely do it for $10 (red isn't a premium material like carbon fiber etc) plus a couple bucks for shipping. I can send a backup one with it just in case (the install is not easy with the lettering)
