I created some themes a while ago for the Captivate. I was thinking of porting some of them while I'm on leave for the Holidays. I only have a few days left and my working hours are ridiculously long. So, if I do port them I may need someone else to pick-up maintaining the themes. The poll on here is just to figure out which themes the community would like me to port. Keep in mind that some of them were made for the Captivate on Froyo before we had GB. If new screen shots for the themes are needed I'll provide them as requested. Links to the themes can be found in my signature.
Hey guys
I've been looking around for an LCARS theme or desktop replacement for android, but have not found a good one, or one that works on tf201.
I would like a theme for stock ROMS that's in the same style as the system47 screensaver.I'd be willing to pay for it, but it would have to be a finished theme and bug free. Thx.

Good luck, this poor community doesn't appreciate themers. So good luck finding a themer that is willing to develop anything for this ungrateful community.
My hopes for this thread is to give some insight to our Devs (Which are AWESOME btw) to get a feel for what the community would like to see brought to our device. Other than whats currently available for the Galaxy Note, what are some over your favorate roms from previous devices and what would you like to see ported over?
Roms that I would like to see added would be:
Jelly Bean (Of course)
MIUI (Official)
Gummy
Senseless (Sense UI with most bloat removed but including the One X Camera)
etc.
Feel free to add your thoughts and/or suggestions.

The thing is tough that the developers pretty much make the ROMs for themselves and are nice enough to release then for others. Occasionally they will take request but usually it's what they developed likes

Gotcha, makes sense. I know our Devs are pretty awesome, but when I look at the Dev section all I see is a few of each of AOSP,AOKP, and Hybrids. I really liked the MIUI and would love to see a variety of roms and UIs. Was hoping for people to make suggestions and get involved with that process.
Or.... take the plunge and fulfill your own request... Ionno just a thought
Several of you have made some fantastic themes, but not yet quite what I'm looking for. I'm and orange guy, so I'm looking for an orange theme. I was hoping that one of the themers out there would take the time to put together a little tutorial so that the rest of us could make some themes that suit us individually. I look forward to someone putting this together. Thanks. I don't know anything about m10 files and theming and what not, but I'm willing to give it a go with a little guidance to follow.
I have a question regarding [ROM/MOD]*TheCollective*[02-26-13] AoCP - CP5<VBTE> {4.2.2} for i717
In review videos I have seen an AoCP options section in Settings but I have flashed this build and do not have that option. Is this deliberately missing in this build?
EDIT:
So far so good with this ROM but I have another question/concern regarding this ROM. So far it's been the most stable ROM I have used, other than stock, but I really do not like the orange system UI. I'm sure some people love it but since blue is my favourite colour, I love the "stock" blue of most Android ROMs and wish there was an easy way to change this. The OP for the AoCP ROM states that there are AoCP themes available in the market but they are all paid themes. I don't think I should have to pay to get my ROM back to stock look. This seems like a cheap nickel and dime scheme. I would much rather donate more money to the AoCP project than pay $0.99 for something that should come stock. Give people the option to pick the orange or blue theme in the theme chooser.
I am not trying to bash AoCP developers, I appreciate the work they have done on this ROM since it is the most stable one I have used (plus it's 4.2.2 while Rogers is stuck on 4.0.4 and still waiting for 4.1.2!), we just shouldn't have to pay not to have the ugly orange UI. This UI would be great around Halloween but other than that, stock blue please! If AoCP does this I would donate more money to their cause rather than buying a $0.99 theme.
to answer your first question it is missing due to this being an early build of 4.2.2 and they haven't gotten everything added in that they want.
The second question: it is their rom and they like the orange color. There is no where that says you have to flash their rom on your phone. They can make it whatever color they want. There are plenty of other theme chooser themes out there that are free that you could apply to the rom, or you could find another rom that suits your color needs. here is a thread on xda that has many themes to choose from

Hi,
Thanks for the input. I was wondering why these options were missing because otherwise, it's not really different than CM 10.1, other than being a lot more stable thankfully, which is definitely worth it!
I agree that they can choose whatever colour that they want for their ROM BUT orange is a colour that you have to really love for a system UI. You don't see Apple, Google, Windows Phone or BlackBerry using orange for their default UIs and that's because it is something that most people will not like. The problem I have is that to get my stock UI colour back, I'm expected to pay them for this. I would much rather donate $10 to their cause as opposed to being nickel and dimed for a $0.99 theme. It wouldn't be hard to give users the choice to switch to the default blue UI. Browsing through the ROM thread, there are many people unhappy with the orange UI. Also, I just want the stock UI, not different icons/fonts/etc. Thankfully with Nova Launcher I can get rid of the ugly orange icons and use the stock Jelly Bean ones but I still get stuck with the rest of the orange UI. Even if I use another theme from someone else, it doesn't get rid of all of the orange. AoCP has deeply embedded the orange UI into every possible place and other themes don't fully get rid of this. So, to fully get rid of it, you have to pay them and like I said, I would pay them MORE to support them rather than have to pay to get rid of the orange. It's simply the principle of it.
The developers make stuff for themselves because they can do that stuff. They only have to please themselves.
They share their work with us, and we can enjoy it or not.
Would it be ok to go to Michelangelo and say "Thats a pretty girl with a nice smile, but most men like blondes. Redo her with blonde hair."
Pay the buck for the theme and stop complaining. Artists are tempermental -- we don't want to lose our developers!

Comparing a developer to Michelangelo is a stretch of the imagination. I appreciate their hard work but developers only have to please themselves if they truly make it for themselves. Once they release it to the public, it's fair game for criticism. I think they would gain more support and donations if this simple change was implemented. Leave the default theme orange but let the user decide via the theme chooser. Like I said already, I would donate more than the $0.99 theme price if this happens.
Even if I do pay them for one of their themes, none of them truly offer the stock experience, which is what I am looking for. One of the reasons why I install ROMs is because I don't like the Samsung stock ROM. I like the vanilla Jelly Bean interface. I also like the modifications that Paranoid Android does with changing the DPI of individual apps but it has proven to be unstable, rebooting multiple times a day. So far, this is the only ROM that has been truly stable so far and my only real problem with it is the orange UI, as other people have voiced as well.
OP-Please read my signature line, and then read it again.....because every word is true.
Developers here exist out of desire to improve their personal devices, and often choose to openly share what they have created with us, FOR FREE. And they take nothing in return. But on occasion, kind members give back to them, as a token of appreciation for the countless hours they spend building code we freely use and enjoy. If you are unable to enjoy their creations, you have the choice to leave your device stock, and trust in the Factory team that calls your device good enough in it's mass produced form.
Developers are artists in their own right, and deserve the respect they have clearly earned.
Perhaps you should create your own ROM, and change the orange UI to something more appealing to your tastes. And share it with us for free after you have spent 100's of hours working on it, using your time and resources. I'd like that very much.
But if you lack the ability or the time to create a non-orange themed rom, perhaps you could just say THANK YOU, to the developer who did, and move on to something less orange.
Happy flashing......g
