So I've been searching xda for some type of flashable addon for a clear transparent rosie or minimal at best, but can't seem to find anything. Anyone have any advice? Or would the best bet be to install a launcher (launcher pro, ade) that would better support customization. Currently running newest OTA stock cuz I just wanted a stable ROM, may have to flash something new since I've had this one awhile.
Thanks

You may find a skin that has the Rosie transparent. Look at the skins available and see what you can find. Other than that you could learn to theme it yourself. A transparent Rosie is actually quite easy to reproduce once you get the right tools

So I found this theme on the Evo thread by Abu and I really would like to use this theme. I am pretty new to this whole thing and was wondering if that is possible to get on the vibrant. here is the theme.

If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would much appreciate it. Thank You!
Also, the one on the evo is used with the cyanogen mod, does this matter or is it possible to make it work with Nero?
That's tight, would like to see this happen too
Looking at the theme, its a flashable zip that replaces the framework-res.apk, and several system apk with themed ones. Theoretically the drawables in the framework-res.apk could be used on the vibrant, but I don't think the xml's and the system apps would work. If you're just looking for the status bar being modded, that could easily be made into a metamorph. But all the other stuff would take more time and effort.

Is there a difference between a skin and a theme.
Skins are usually apk and themes are flashed.
Themes will change the dynamics of the entire look of your GUI. A skin changes the background and launcher look.

Can we use themes on a custom rom? Especially with some of the Rosies and lockscreens that have been modified. Will the skins graphics conflict with thosen

Themes are usually made for specific type of Rom ie (sense) and so on. Make sure thw theme you're flashing is compatible with the Rom.

So do you need to be rooted to load a skin/theme? As a non-rooted newb, is the wallpaper the only real thing I can change?

Theme yes, Skin no. There are several skins on the forum that non rooted users can download and enjoy.
Do not know if its possible, I would love a black face/white number clock widget. I know there are some out there for sense 3.5, are any available for 3.5?

How can you rebuild fusion.apk or any other sense apk? I didnt think m10 tools worked on sense 3.5 yet?
Is there something else that will help theming of sense 3.5?
You can replace the m10 file of a Sense3.5 theme and replace it with a m10 file from a sense 3.0 theme and it will work. Only thing that won't get skinned is the Rosie launcher. I've done this and has worked on my Sensation.

That won't work on the Rezound. I've been at it all day and that method only works on Sensation and EVO 3D. Trust me guys, Fusion.apk which leads to Clock MODS, Lock Ring, Rosie Home/Rosie Lock CANNOT be themed right now until Diamondback releases the tool for it. For those who haven't a clue who Diamondback is or Flemmard, and HAVEN'T donated yet, I strongly recommend giving them thanks or spare a small donation to these guys. We wouldn't be able to theme any HTC Fusion.apk's without their work.
Here's where it all started:

He's out, but still is there behind the scenes once Diamondback finds another reverse engineer.
@raiderman I'm sure your best bet for now is too use beautiful widgets. If your not already.

There was a widget on the market meant for sense 3.0. It was an exact duplicate of the original except the inverted colors, and a slightly lighter background. I will search for it, its sweet!

Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.
Please vote, and if you want reply with what rom you would like to see it on.

Ya bud, port it over. The more themes for this phone, the better. I could always use some help with finding new framework, so by all means, port away.
Thats a very nice theme you got there .
Looks amazing I like it simple
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yup its nice, but i wish someone would make a rom and theme which make the phone really stand out tech wise. Would love things like the snapshot picture or video which shows on cover of album for pics or vids, or even ont he widget on desktop to actually play life preview as the snapshot your hovering over, or make everything all techy and extremely futuristic if you know what i mean

Who said sense can't be themed? Challenging but not impossible

I'd love it if this was a Launcher Pro theme. I'm not going back to Sense just for a theme.
Definitely port it over. Its awesome
@Fernando I meant sense a in m10 3.5. Unless you know a trick we don't...
@mrsmith There is a launcher pro theme posted in the original thread. I think second or third post.
I tried to make it work for anyone. No matter if they used sense or a replacement launcher.

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

I would love to have it! I'm using ADW, but have used LP with other phones. I'm running the Senseless Rom from ScottsRoms.com and my rezound is running much more smoothly and quickly without Sense.
Alright I know how to do this, but I am wanting to change a lot of my icons in the sense Rom I am running. Is there a way to do it in batch form? What is the easiest simplest solution to this? Any help from you expert themers would be very helpful. Thanks....
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
First, if you are replacing status bar icons, the easiest way to do this is open the apk with 7zip and drag your new icons into the correct res/drawable... folder.
If you insist on a batch operation, you can look for a VillainRom theme package. They use a script to replace (and it is flashed in recovery). I suggest finding one of these and looking at the scripts inside to learn how it works. You basically create the folder with the images you want to replace and it does the work for you. Be sure to thank the creators of this very handy tool.
Finally, you could create a batch file that uses 7zip to do it. I actually did this for a brief time until I came across the VR themes.
You could use my ReZone theme as a guideline for doing what you want. The ONLY downside is it doesn't work with TWRP recovery.
Thanks for the replies....
What I should have specified is the app icons in the app drawer, and desktop. I downloaded the anti apple icons, and want to make a custom theme using them for myself. So I can open the apks, and change the icon, but that takes forever. I was wondering if there is a themer program that would allow me to do it in a batch format. That way u wouldn't have to do it for 75 apps individually. I know that you can install theme packs on aosp, and was hoping there was a way to do it with sense. Again, thanks for the interest, and help...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
easy enough if you are using nova or apex launcher and doing an icon set or viperes rom has this option
Yeah, I was hoping to do it on Dsb's 3.6 Rom. I may switch back to viper when the update drops. I was just hoping there was an easy way to do it to sense roms that the themers were willing to share....

No batch format, but ninja morph is about the fastest way to do it on a phone.

My original suggestion is what you want to use, it works on Sense. First thing you would do is clean out my folders or just make new ones following the folder structure. Then basically all you have to do is find the apps icon name (extract original .apk). Create the folders and add your new icon. Then just go into recovery and flash it... BHAM!! new icon. Lets not make this difficult. It will work on Sense or AOSP ROMs. Very simple thing to do..
EDIT:
I have attached a sample .zip were I change 3 icons from my Theme the Camera, Gmail, and YouTube. If you follow that format (icons have different names and locations) you can change any icon you want and all you have to do is flash it.
Thanks Zone. Started last night. You say bam, but more like bbaaaaaaammnnnnnn. I will finish it up through the week, and post it in homescreens thread with a special thanks to you..
