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
OK so extreme props to guys like joelz that are actually trying to port sense 3.5 to the evo 3d... but why is there so few attempts ? the evo 4g has it and its great ... yet the evo 3d doesnt, why does it seem like all the rom attention still goes out to the evo 4g when its more than obsolete

T3project is there a way to port the widgets from the 3.5 to our 3.0 roms. I really like the mail mms market and music quick settings in the home screen of the 3.5 ROM.

its far from retarded looking the carousel runs smoother the widgets are much better and it runs great ...
Few attempts are made because Sense 3.5 is hideous looking.
Two out of place buttons on your homescreen with a bar of widgets on the left? Absolutely atrocious. It doesn't even deserve the .5 increment in build strings, as it is no way any sort of improvement over Sense 3.0. The underlining framework may indeed deserve the increase, but the appearance sure as hell doesn't. It should have been called Sense 3.0 lite for women.
If you don't like it don't use it

interesting viewpoint
sense 3.5 is awesome looking man ... the two buttons is smart its way better than 3.0s bar across the bottom eating up useless space for no good reason other than to look like your typical trash smartphone ... its more unique and as for the 4 bars on the left side ... thats a widget remove it easy enough on that one ... like he said if you dont like it dont use it ... but overall it is much smoother running ... and there are no good roms for the evo 3d ... they all apear as stock or stripped down to nothing neat at all ... Joelz rom for the bliss 3.5 port will be the **** because for once that developer is at least trying something unique instead of focusing on what every other developer is doing ... basically themed 2.3.4 roms

in no way am i pointing fingers at the frevo rom but in my personal opinion i dont like it its stripped to nothingness ... it just makes it look like a samsung bas model phone ... now some people in fact alot of people love that so in no way am i judging because you have made alot of people happy with your hard work ... serious props for that ... but some people like change and some people like sense ... you seem to prefer removing all the spiffy **** in return for performance and thats understandable .. but it does show your taste in roms differs greatly and your opinion because a bit null and void in this topic because sense flat out isnt your cup of tea at all ... i do have friends who absolutly love your rom so i commend you for all the users you have made very happy you are by far a great dev, but like i said not your cup of tea here

The 4g has always had tons of dev support. And it's far from obsolete, I may have traded up to a 3D, but the 4G is still a very capable phone.
I played with a sense 3.5 rom on my friend's thunderbolt, it's smoother and snapper than sense 3.0 on my 3D. Tough to say if it's worth the effort, but it would be nice to have the option. The reasons for not developing this do make sense tho.
I think its because developers are already in too deep with their current roms, which some are still far from done. & like most of the other comments posted, its not appealing. Its not that bad looking, but none the less not the best.
If there's someone that's not on one of the already popular sense roms, they are on AOSP. There's just no focus towards 3.5 right now because other things are in demand.
The OG Evo has it because they can focus on things that hasn't been done. I mean that phone is pushing on its second year in the game, what else do you expect?

true and the og evo is still by far a bad ass phone ... main complaint being no one cares much about the evo 3d ... i mean really i have a developer model with stock 2.3.4 that hasnt been pushed by sprint yet ... im yet to see a rom that is better than my stock 2.3.4 every rom i try is a let down because some great feature just isnt there ... the stock 2.3.4 for the e3d is pretty nice and very stable ... i hope someone out there can correct me and point me to a good rom that isnt themed out to uber gayness i dont want some rom that makes my phone look like satan or an orange peel i mean really ...

I'm not, there was a question in the OP, and I answered it. Did you expect no one to answer the question, and to have a bunch of Sense 3.5 loving people in here talking about it?

Most of the devs had nothing to work with when the EVO 3D got root. That is why there are 'themed' 2.3.4 ROMs, and we still have nothing to work with that is as good as Sense. AOSP is the ONLY other alternative, which in turn birthed MIUI. Nobody would dare try and port a crappy TouchWhiz UI to the EVO 3D. What else is there?

It's okay, I'm not taking offense, and you're right--I do enjoy minimalism, but to a certain extent. You have to understand that in removing the Sense launcher and widgets, that's all that's really done. The Launcher (Rosie), while being a decent launcher for the average person, is VERY VERY limited in terms of customization. I assumed, and that was probably a bad idea considering how popular my/sense removed ROMs are in comparison to full Sense, that more people would feel the same. You can achieve almost identically what Sense has from a Senseless ROM with a bit of time and effort. LauncherPro easily outclasses HTC's Launcher in terms of customization, performance, and looks. You can easily skin just about any launcher to look like Sense if you really wanted to. The only thing HTC has going for its launcher is its widgets, which unfortunately aren't able to be used with other launchers. Other than that, I truly don't see the appeal so many people have with sticking to what HTC thinks you need to stick to with its Launcher. There are countless mods that try and improve upon it, but in the end it's still limited. So, that says to me that I'm the kind of person who enjoys as little constraints in customizing my phone as possible.
htc widgets
thats super lame that the htc widgets cant be used elsewhere because your right they are really nice

It's all good man, we like what we like. I didn't really expect too many to jump on it. I mainly created it for myself, but figured the community could maybe benefit from it.
Boot Manager allows me to try out pretty much any ROM now a days without having to do anything to mine, so I'm good to go when I need to see what other people have accomplished, which still do this day, isn't very much in comparison to mine. Good thing about these Sense ROMs is that anything you want from one can easily be put into another.
boot manager ?

[DEV][WIP][ROM]Bliss 3.5 Port[Sept.20][2.3.4]
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.
Sent from my poor S-on Rezound
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.
