Just curious why it seems like there is no love towards RezRom? Im running 1.6 and there is literally not one single post about any mod what so ever for it. In my opinion Rez is about the smoothest and fast gb rom out there. Ive themed what i can myself but am not a pro at it. I would put up what i have but i dont feel its worthy compared to what other people do for theming on other mods.
Probably since bored has already themed the device and added pretty much every mod possible.
im talking about notification bar icons and things like that. I got the icons no problem, but when i try to do the date, etc., the clock goes back to white, when i change the clock, the date goes back to white. Not hating on it at all, but cleanrom has tons of mods where they have different status bar dropdowns, dialers, etc. But no one seems even remotely interested in Rez. I think it really is one of the best and def. props to bored, he is amazing with his work. Just wished more people showed love towards it.
I feel what you're saying man. People probably don't theme it since I assume altering a theme can be a pain in the butt. Not too sure about that since I know jack S about theming.
I theme quite a bit. Heck I used to theme all day. I have at least 6 full themes for sense 3.0. I know I did a full bravo theme for the rezound for gb, including a separate skin to go with it. I haven't had time to look at the framework for ICS yet so porting will take time.
You have to also keep in mind that I, along with several others came from the Thunderbolt. The framework or png's were completely different sizes on sense 3.0. When we all moved over to the Rezound, we realized we pretty much needed to redo a years worth of theming and upgrade all of our work to sense 3.5 png's.
I spent days trying to update one theme to sense 3.5 only to find out ICS came out a short while later. So, now all my work has to be matched up then ported over again to ICS which hasn't been done yet.
The big thing for some of the big themers here on the Rezound are skins. Simply because we make profit on the market. I barely have another skin to roll out for sense 3.5 gb and that took several weeks to complete. I plan on rolling out at least 5 more before I even begin to start theming for ICS. Unless ICS rolls out to the rezound sooner, I wouldn't count on a lot of themes for it.
I'm on ICS as I'm writing this but about all I'm going to put out for ICS are dialers.

Theming will pick up once a official ota is out bc no one want to theme something and then rebase when we get a leak ... At least that's why I'm not theming right now lol

FYI some stuff like dialers and other system apps will work on pretty much all the ROMS since they are all based on the same ICS leak
anything that changes the framework or systemUI is most likely ROM specific. you can however port images from one rom to another manually....if you have the time
You can go to the UOT Kitchen and easily do some light theming on your own. It's kind of fun!
I was already doing my own light theming like status bar icons. I just flashed to Rez 2.1 and am in the works of teaching myself more advanced theming to hopefully throw some out here on xda.

I swear that I can remember there being a host of Metamorph themes that will morph SenseUI with dark Rosies and different types of batteries (yes, I know there are lots of circle battery flashes) and things.
I scum through the Hero themes and apps, and can't find much.
I scum thorugh the Eris themes and apps, and SWEAR I can remember more, months ago.
I am I confused? I feel like SOMEONE would have/did make a blue battery/highlight color flash, or a different Android guy when a no-picture-stored contact/caller is on the line, or a graphite/black battery, or clear notification bars.
I see that there are LOT of cyanogenmod themes, and that's super. But although I see an awesome orange xtrSense theme there, I am lost on where all the metamorph themes I remember seeing, went to.
I feel stupid almost, since I've been around computers for years, and spent LOTS of time on forums, and even helping people, and rooting friends' phones, etc etc etc.
I swore I remember seeing a HTC hero theme repository thread with like 100 different little themes and metamorphs. I can't even find that (assuming any of those would work).
Am I crazy? Confused? (feel free to slap sense into me if so)
Where are all the SenseUI metamorph themes? Do I need to try to learn how to make some?
Yessir
I've been wondering this too, I remember before I rooted seeing a picture of an Eris with a black rosie and all the grey turned black. Heck that was half the reason I rooted, but I never have found it lol. guess I got side tracked.
I've been thinking of trying to make some Themes for punk.kaos's froyo sense when it gets stable. I've figured out a little about theming android, (I'm still not that good and have never themed sense, so dont expect much.)
I'd LOVE to have a white and blue sense theme though, that'd be on point.
I have only made two themes for the eris. One I posted on here the other is not done, so I guess that technically 1 1/2 but who's counting, and I can tell you it is more tideous work then actual challenge. The reason for lack of themes is probably just a demand thing. Most people that have the eris have had it for awhile. So they either already have it how they like it or have moved onto another device. I think it would be great for those of us with the eris to help out with theming and developing. With all the hard work the developers put in to the roms the least us as the end user can do is make some themes for others to use and give a variety of option for roms to look. </rant>
I think that may come off harsher then it was meant to when I was typing this. Anyway, if you or anybody else on here needs help making themes, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can just message me on here I check this place probably 50 times a day. I would love to help some people get on the theming bus and help make some new themes for us to choose from.

I dont think thats harsh at all, its just plain fair.
the handfull of devs here work so hard bringing us roms we never would dream of seeing on our phone, the least we can do -if we are able- is contribute a little time to editing some pictures. it makes all our phones have that many more options. course...lifes not fair
I would love to learn. Where do you suggest I start? I've already taken pieces from several different themes to make what I want. I would like to see a nice sense ui theme. It can be done, shadowrom has a theme that is as close to sense that I've seen yet. They got about everything but HTC Widgets and the real htc launcher. However the themer made an HTC launcher dock background and some blank icons that when using launcher pro is very nice because your icons don't show up on the dock like they normally would. What would it take to incorporate the real launcher into a theme?

Here are some of the metamorphs I think you were talking about. Really the only ones I could find that seem to work. I know there's more out there. Anyone else got anything?
Simple Black Lockscreen arch
Espresso Rosie!
Im tryint to figure out where to find the icons at. I want to change my folder icons blue. Any help would be appreciated
I'm really disappointed by the lack of themes for MT4G. I'm looking for a 'stock-ish' green Android, or even better, something with some Gingerbread elements, theme. There's one out there called Androidian http://bit.ly/eL7Q29 which is great except I'm not really feeling the circuit board-like effect.
Any suggestions, or devs willing to take something on?
Thanks
I like that theme that u linked =)
but true, there should be alot more MT4G themes to choose from by now =(...someone should make some!
No one seems to care for the espresso running on stock. Theres plenty themes for cm6 and the full sense roms. Just not in this thread. I'm running a gingerbread theme now on cm6 from the nexus section
if you want more themes, simple....make em. Devs make themes and roms on their time. Go up to a dev and tell them why they havent done a rom or to make you a theme and see what they say. They take time off their job, families, and life to make our phones better. Don't be questioning why they aren't producing. They spend hours on end with no expectations of money to make a better android experience for users. You should think before you question about the lack of mt4g development

i stumbled across these and while i like bionix roms the best, its hard to find some really unique themes right now from them, most are blue or gingerbread green. this guy has made some incredible themes that i doubt id be alone in saying someone should see if they can port them over from the nexus s
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886971
i personally like lucid, frost, tangerine, monochrome, and bliss (so pretty much all of them)
take it for what its worth, if you like it and have some time, we can never have too many options.
Those are excellent themes! All of them look great, I really like bliss the best. Like you said cant have too many options!!

good stuff man, looks good
I love the look of Flagship, the messaging, the 3 orange launcher, the font, the notification drop down, and much more. Why not use the ROM some of you might ask. Well I did and that's why I love the look of it, but there's some issues. Like I couldn't get my voicemails notified all the time, or it'll hang for a while doing things.
Is that a possibility?
jellette came in the trigger forum a cpl days ago I believe n said this was in the works... There is already 1 asop theme from the EDT team. Im guessing this is comin soon...

Has anyone in this forum been able to successfully theme or port aosp settings on a sense rom? I know its been done numerous times on ICS but do you guys know of any for 4.1 or 4+?
Or hell if the ICS version would work on sense 4 with or without a little bit of modding?
Not exactly sure where to start but I'm familiar with VTS and whatnot... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Also I have seen pictures of an inverted sense settings (white text on black) but the dev never posted like he said he was going to, anyone have that.
Let me know if you want it... I'm using it on rebelrom ... Sense 4+, 3.17
Of course I'll credit him for everything, as this was a lucky find on my part

I will make the bold assumtion that you are referring to me...
I did post, but only for ICS. It was an utter mess and I gave up on it for JB.
InflatedTitan PMed me and this is my reply, just in case somebody might want to take it from where I left it (basically goiung through all the sense apps that create dialog windows or find the xml where this is controlled (probably in un compilable com.htc.resources.apk or even worse (but unfortunately very likely with htc...) in various different locations).
Hi InflatedTitan
Well, as far as porting goes, I have not done it on sense 4 and I don't know what it takes.
As for the settings.apk, I successfully themed it to look as AOSPish as it gets. Only, there where so many issues as I had to change the color of the text from black to white, that many dialog windows which had a white background where messed up. I then spent some time to find the respective files, xmls that control these dialogs but actually never found them. In the end I settled for what I have now, AOSP style but based on sense.
The major problem is that we can't properly de- and recompile the com.htc.resources.apk, where most of the necessary changes have to be made. So the basic process was to check the settings.apk for references to that file and then change them to somewehre we can edit, like framework-res.apk. It takes a lot of time and some understanding how Android works to get this done properly. I then also pushed some files to com.htc where I had to. You know, htc's software is very very messy, there is no direct logic to most of it and they have so many redundancies it actually just makes you want to cry out loud No wonder all the sense versions so far where an utter bloat. Ahhh, just imagine another htc nexus...
I made some documentation here, but it's a bit of a mess.
It outlines all the things I changed (to keep track) and whether the changes actually did someting (green) or not.
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands, I would stay away from it. I am a perfectionist and I just felt it was not worth the effort. And that was quite some time ago, when the One X still was still a relatively new device...
