Hi there, after we've got root, we can finally customize our devices!
I've started creating a new (or better to say, editting default) theme. I'm not going to create a fully custom shiny theme with custom widgets design and so on. I just want to get rid of that ugly SE clinic-blue.
I don't have much free time, but i'm going to keep moving to the end )
Now it's about 40-50% ready. There are still a lot of blue, but it's usable. You can try it (as always, at your own risk )) ).
Just put the framework-res.apk into /system/framework/
P.S. I had to recover my device after i've putted framework-res.apk on it for the first time. I think, permissions must be changed to 755 before rebooting. After recover I always change permissions and have no problems )
(one more time: root is needed).

Theme updated. I have mixed it with this one:

(look for install instructions!!!)
08.09.2010
Some less blue:
Phone.apk - Incomming call slider, mobile internet on/off icon
DownloadProvider.apk - Download icon
Blue Level = min )))
It's looking pretty nice man, although I'm not confident enough to install it
great job dude goodluck
Yes !
Keep on dude, you'll be the first one to make us a mini framework and so stay in our hearts...forever ;-)
Thx
I'm waiting for it! This blue makes me crazy.. (;
yay, gonna use it when it's 100% finished !
Yay, the blue theme it comes with is disgusting. It'd be even more awesome if you could make it look like the default android theme
Good work mate, well done! Its good to see some people are starting to get somewhere with these phones.
Thats a great improvement, but what about rest of icons ?
I'm sure many others will pickup this idea and make new themes, why not share info on what is where and how you've done this?
Thanks mate!
P.S. I really like new status bar icons, but background should be black like on SENSE-enabled
Could you port this theme please :

Yeah telling us how you're making the theme would be great, or even a link to where you learnt how to make themes.

Obviously use the files from mini instead, rest is pretty much the same.

Is it possibile to have an .apk "grey theme" file with blu original color as background of notification bar? (only this).
So, I like grey, but in this upper bar I think blu is better
Thanks!
PS: great the battery icons that change its colors depending of battery status
Hi dopeless, have you finish this grey theme. I love this grey theme but could you use the icon set with transparent background. It's must be more beautiful with transparent background icons.
Thanks in advance.

Any update on this theme's progress?
Sorry, guys, I was really busy all this time.
Now I have mixed my theme with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
It seems to be ok now. There is minimum of blue, but it comes not from framework-res file. I'll try to fix it later.
Off-topic question. how do you get the 4 shortcuts in you dock, I can only seem to get 2?
Ignore me, I've done it!
P.S. Great theme!
I just made this for someone on DA and thought some other people might want it too. I just want to make sure it actually works, so if you guys could test it I'd really appreciate it. Backup before flashing just in case something goes horribly wrong, don't blame me if your phone explodes (highly unlikely) or if you get bootloops (somewhat likely) and don't have a backup to restore from, blah blah blah. Original thread is here for images and such, and I don't know if I'll be maintaining this. It's pretty simple between cm7 roms though so it shouldn't be too hard.
I WILL NOT PORT THIS TO ANY OTHER ROMS NOR BE MAKING IT INTO A THEME CHOOSER APK. ASK AND I WILL EAT YOU.

Hey Thnikk,
It's me (Weredawg from DA)
It worked perfectly (CM7 x99 kernel)
Thank you so much for the port (oh and I asked a dumb question on DA, figured it out and realized you didn't want people to ask for a theme apk...)

It's cool, from what I understand the creator didn't want it to be a theme chooser app because it left a lot of stuff unthemed. If it ever becomes one, it'll be by him so anyone interested in that can take it up with him.
I'm really happy that it worked though, thanks
thanks it works just fine
I really love this theme, but I would like to test the other themes via CM7's theme chooser. Only thing is Matted Blues (this theme) is not set up that way.
How exactly would I go about taking this zip and have it work with CM7's theme chooser? So I can easily switch themes on the fly without having to reflash this one.
I'll also ask my Android class tomorrow.
There are some really talented folks in there.
UPDATE: Checked the original thread and it looks like the creator is going to make a theme chooser port.

This theme still works with theme chooser, it just replaces the stock (named system) theme. Basically, if you were to get the stock GB theme back, you'd just have green and orange highlights everywhere instead of blue. It may just be personal preference, but I think the blue looks better than stock GB.
If you want (for JAMT, no?), I could make a new package that includes the lockscreen [here] for you. It would only take 2 seconds
I could also make a post explaining the really easy way to theme stuff if you'd like.
Oh no that's fine.
I've been using Widgetlocker for all my lockscreen needs and the last update finally got rid of the stock Sense clock
I liked unlocking the Sense way but didn't like that clock.
Only thing I want really is to get the flashable zip you made, and turn it into a theme for CM7's theme chooser. But in your original post you said you would eat us if asked :X
Oh but learning how to theme stuff would be cool to know.
Thanks.

Sorry for not replying, it's finals week and I've been busy. EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES.
Theme chooser app is in development right now and the dev says it should be available this/next week. I'd post a link but I'm on my phone and lazy.
And those directions... as easy as the process is, it's kind of hard to type out. Would you mind if I explained it in a video instead?

Ok, put this together from many different places, had to change many things to get it to fit/work. Only edited .pngs, and .9.png's. Some images wont theme as they're called by framework.res(menu items). Tested on 160 dpi and 210 lcd densities. It looks much nicer than stock @ 210dpi. I didn't edit any .xml's, so higher dpi may still get cut off. The screenies are @ 160dpi. I will follow up a post with 210 res also. I started making this basically for me, becuz of stock @ 200+ res, but decided I might as well learn. I would have uploaded them here, but file is too big. I imagine this would work on other builds too such as 354, 351, but I have not tested yet.
Remember : nandroid backup first

v4: Custom background! oh yeah! HC in v4. I plan on writing up a guide and probably uploading a stock.apk with custom background as base to theme. Enjoy!
v.3: black background! yeah! working on a custom image background, should be up soon, in the meantime I figured some people might be satisfied with just black, anything but that awful grey! enjoy, sit tight and stay tuned!
v0.2 uploaded: fixed stock dialer incall landscape. not tested on high res 160+ lcd density. should be fine. you cant seethe whole dialer anyways on high res, in call.

Well, since you asked
Blue would fit the theme better IMHO
help an Android noob
I see the zip file has the .apk files, now,
can I back up the ones on the phone, over write with these, or
just copy the .apk files and install, then if I don't like it, just go to
the phone .apk files, and install the original?
tnx!
you can replace them, but since it invloves phone, even in airplane mode I got force close message every second, research it. much easier to flash in recovery.
enjoy..
Got it...FINALLY
After installing clockwork recovery, then trying to figure out it wasn't taking for some reason...googling that, lead me to the multi-recovery flasher. Kept getting unable to load xxxxx message, after googling that and finding out it work take from the desktop, installed it on the local drive, then after trying to figure out why I had a yellow bang (!) in device manager, googling that lead me to the driver, then tried streak recovery, got that installed and in just a few seconds I had the phone dialer up and running. Only took a few seconds, minus the 1-2 hours figuring out the other #(*$&@ errors on my own part LOL.
Anyway, the dialer works, looks much nicer than the stock dialer!
It works in Streakdroid 1.9.1 flashing with streakmod.
Loving it

Alright fellow Note 2 comrades. I'm new to this and this is my first post to the wild.
What we have today is a theme that I made for myself called "BLUEACH"
For Rom] Jelly 'Beans' - Build 14 [04/22/13][Aroma][Fully Customizable][I605VRALL4] only
Let's give up some prop's do.
First and for most I wanted to give up crazy prop's to my Bro, Raider- A.K.A. AndroidGraphix.
For taken me on and showing me a whole lot with Photoshop, i.e... Graphics, and for giving a noob like myself a ton of files to learn from.
Those of us who like to have a clean and professional looking theme, knows that He's the man. Not taking anything away from all the other awesome Themers on board.
Here's a link to his work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070424
Hit him up.
Of course I have to thank pulser and whoever else had something to do with the Villain Theme System.
Awesome work and mad prop's for this.
Elex_kr for hands down one of the best contributions to the theming world with his BetterDraw9 patch.
Please hit this man up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149192 for his awesome program he has made for us. It's amazing how much time you save with patching .9. images
Thanks to motomoto00 for letting me use his Motomoto00 Theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818961 as a base. Good looking Bro. I really appreciate it.
I want to thank Lantek23 for helping me with the Status bar fix.
I tried my best to theme as much as possible and will continue to make it as complete as possible. If by chance anyone sees any images that may be theirs, please hit me and I will give credit.
But most of what I've themed I made from scratch.
Thanks to: beanstown106 for this awesome Rom. I've been running this since I've got my Note2. Hope you get the S4
Thanks to:
abdelrahman at deviant art for the Note 2 .PSD

You Must put this inside your BeautifulWidgets folder.
To install it,
1. Must have BeautifulWidgets. Apk of course
2. After installing it, first set up a regular clock widget that's standard.
3.Then go to menu, BeautifulWidgets. Apk,
once inside settings and scroll all the way down to Graphic designer mode and turn it on. Go to widget configuration, 4x2 Clock #1, set it up like you want.
4.Now come out and choose your file Manger of choice. Go to SD Card =Android= Data= com.levelup.BeautifulWidgets and add it to the folder that you see with the long serial #.
5. Menu = BeautifulWidgets= My themes= click the settings and drop down will appear. Choose external themes and you will see Bluack show up. Hit that and your good.

THIS IS ONLY FOR beanstown10 rom. Haven't tried it on any other rom, as I used His Rom as my daily run.
Installation
For fresh install right after installing beanstown10 rom.
I recommend doing a fresh install of beanstown10 Rom so that you want have any errors coming off of someone else's theme.
1 First Make sure you have all your apps from the Market.
2 Go to Menu-Settings-Application Manager- find Google Play store and clear Data.
You don't have to do this, but I've found that after booting up, I have no problems with Play store restoring my apps.
1 Backup Rom
2 Reboot in to Recovery
3 Wipe cache partition
4 Select Install zip from SD card
5 Select theme, and press install
6 Reboot
And enjoy...
