Hey guys i don't know if this is against the rules but i am a Super Mod at motrolafans.com and run the G1 section i would love it if you guys making themes could also post them here: http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/google-g1-themes/
This goes out to all my fellow theme makers who have already droped themes. And this is not to take anything away from XDA-Developers.com cause i love both sites but thats where i started.
Thanks.
is super mod higher ranked then a mod?
lol.....Just the super powers that i am not suppose to talk about opps..... . Maybe one day i could help mod this site with you and the rest of your super friends.
Maybe one day, would be nice to have someone like yourself on board
Back to trying to figure out how to tether this phone.
Motorola Fans have an Android G1 page?
that made me chuckle a little bit...lol
You could just re-route them here, instead of re-routing us there.
Yeah i don't want people to thank me for you guys work,also its much faster if everyone post there own theme instead of me downloading them all an posting it that way. Well this Q: seems weird lol....show off your work thats the only pay us theme makers get.
@mannyb
Thanks for being the first besides me to post your theme.
man another forum to register for? lol I have so many now
I posted my 2 themes, had to change a dirty diaper first ...lol
Thanks to all the guys who posted there themes already. Anything you guys need you got it.
frankly: this sucks big time. the theme section is so crowded with themes for all the dream and magic and cyanogen mods, our few hero themes disappear. looking into the theme thread i can only find one(!) theme for the hero on the first page. also the titles are not always indicating clearly for what device/rom the themes were made.
seriously guys, at least give us a subforum for hero themes. i didn't see the problem with posting them here (in the thread called "themes and apps"), are you really expecting me to go through hundreds of themes for the dream, to find the hero themes? come on...
Agree, sucks....
Whats wrong with having the themes for the hero in the thread entitled "HERO Themes and Applications"
It needs to have every post title changed to show what device/ROM its for before its usable.
I agree too, even with edited titles, it's still going to be messy and we'll end up missing most of the themes for Hero as they will just get lost in the flood of G1 themes
I have to agree as-well, the hero themes does not work with any other phone anyway
This sucks...
Yes, it sucks!
I did my first Themes and now nobody can find it.
Have to agree lumping all the themes from different devices together is a big mistake.
I would suggest, that either:
- The themes be left here on the "HTC Hero Themes and Applications";
- Or, that subforums for the phone models be made on the "Android Themes" section.
Agreed, this is a horrible way to compile everything. Only reason I am even posting this is so the mod team can see they made a mistake by the number of people posting about it.
Agreed.
The Hero and G1 themes should be separate.
The G1 has been out a lot longer and it floods the forum (I should know I had one! )
Seriously mods, please rethink your strategy.
Its bad, and its not fair seeing upcoming themes for other devices too lol
While I understand your frustation here, the point is that there is no point in keeping the themes in seperate places.
Almost every theme will run on any rooted phone. Therefore they are being meshed together. Now, Like I've said, Your theme devs, will need to label their posts accordingly so you can sort through them quickly.
For instance, a hero theme would look like this:
[Hero Theme] *title of theme here*
Its a simple thing to do.
This is a benefit to the entire community to do this. Which is why its been done.
Stericson
Every theme runs on every rooted phone??
I can't believe!
No way!
When it is so, I say sorry, but I can't really believe.
we have SenseUI here.

so you are saying that my rooted hero will run any theme made for g1?
but i downloaded themes for dream, sapphire and found out that maximum image names are different. so how will hero run those themes?
then why we make themes for different devices then? why did u guys make seperate theme sections in the 1st place?
Yes every theme will run on a rooted phone PROVIDED you have the apropriate rom loaded for the specific theme on your Rooted phone....

yeah really funny since we got... wait let me recount... exactly one custom rom for the hero (yes i know there are others, but not really worth to mention).
well i guess we just have to eat the **** they are throwing at us, they are the mods...
Than I don't want to publish my themes here anymore!
It makes now sence, because no one can find them.
for a few days there were many themes at once and every Hero user in this section was happy to use them.
Now....
Sorry, I can see threads and postings from many users, who are not embraced about this changes.
but when the admins and mods are that mind it is better, then we, the themes maker must agree with that.
Admins, mods:
Take it seriously! Everybody thinks, this changes are not good!
carry out soundings of public opinion
Guys lets not give up just yet! I always found xda developers willing to listen to the people in the past after all its THE PEOPLE that make a great forum.
Also try and post comments here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591137 in one place where our Dream users brothers can also post
Even though I don't like using themes, I cannot see the sense in moving Hero themes to the generic Android themes section. The sub-forum is STILL called 'Hero Themes and Applications' - how ridiculous!

So its not true that all themes run on all phones. Your phone has to be rooted, AND it has to have the appropriate ROM loaded for that specific theme.
Goodness. That's kinda a lot to look for in a theme.
Okay, heres the deal.
I do not have a nexus one, however i do like to theme the newest android, so i have created a theme for the nexus and i need testers to see if it actually works! I have already themed my g1 so i know what im doing
Also the theme will be for CM
If anyone is willing, you can just send me a PM or get my attention, i just need some testers and i didnt want to post a WIP thread, since i cant even take screen shots
Once i get a few testers this thread can be closed, I'm just looking for some help
I'm looking for just a Gingerbread theme (not theme injected ROM) for CM-6.1.0 Stable (final). If anyone has a link it would be much appreciated.

wow..... wow. So 6.1 final and gingerbread came out within the last 36 hours for hero, and you would like a theme, nice. Learn to use the search button in the future. The good news is right on the FRONT PAGE of xda, somebody has made an adw launcher theme to look like gingerbread, go check that out, and in the meantime, learn some patience, the dev's will post what they make when they feel like it, not before.
EDIT: why the heck wouldn't you want a themed rom, it's the same as the rom and then a theme on it, only usually faster and more stable....... there's one in the development section here, make a nand and try it out, you just might like it:

I did search. I only found Themed ROMs... and as I stated in the OP, I didn't want a Themed ROM... just the Theme. I run a tweaked ROM with my own kernel due to the hardware limitations on MY phone. I don't run ADW, since it's just painfully slow and buggy.
I saw that someone had made a Themed ROM so I figured maybe they had just the Theme handy. As I said, I searched and came up with nothing. Or maybe I didn't have time to go through the 1,000,000 some stupid results that have no relevance to what I wanted. So before you start snapping off on people, understand why the question is asked...

ok user, but only because you were so eloquent. Sorry OP, my new recommendation would be to do what the themed rom guy did, which was port the theme he found (which is in his thread) to your rom/kernel setup using the theme porter, it may work. Otherwise, I am sure someone will make a full theme as soon as the source is released.
I'm not working on it, its not free for anyone to use, so I decided I wouldn't mess with it.
Awesome! Thanks!

So I ran into a lot of problems at the last minute...
I saw some people were interested in a Matted Blues port to KF1, I personally am not a fan of Matted Blues, but I decided to do the port anyways, for the community.
Anyways, presenting Matted Blues. Well, sorta. I went on the market to get the CM7 version of Matted Blues, and when I went to buy it, it turns out that I couldn't afford it. I am completely out of money, so I literally could not afford $2. (lol). So I went and got shoman94's port, which I didn't want to use because I remember he said he edited it a little. So this is NOT a real port, I will work on that port when I get the money (the whole 2 bucks...) and will actually start working on fixing all the bugs. So here we go!
-BUGS:
-Music controller on lockscreen is supa crazy, I've seen that on every 2.3 Touchwiz rom, I haven't figured out what the cause is for it yet though. I fixed i up the best I could, but I will eventually (hopefully) get it completely fixed.
-ITS UGLY! I don't know if its shoman94's edits to the notification panel or its just an older version, but I just find it extremely ugly. Not dissing on shoman94, everyone to their own, just saying that once I do an official exact port, it will be...well, an exact port.
-A lot of the colors are darker, I know this is due to shoman94 as that is how he edited. It doesn't look bad, but it is not the color that Matted Blues should be. It is supposed to be 73B6D6 and he changed it to 367999. Again, this will be fixed when I do the real port.
-Other misc. issues that are hardly noticeable and would just be a wasted effort to fix until I did the real port.

Then don't use it! Don't talk **** and say it's UGLY in caps then say oh no offense. You did offend and you also didn't ask to use the work I put into it. You can take the original and make your own port. Many APK's and files are different than the Cappy. Things were made by myself and modded to my liking! I asked for permission from the author before I posted and you should do the same. I don't like you attitude here sir.
Sorry for offending you, that's not what I meant. As I said, "everyone has their own", for themes everything is opinionated. An opinion is neither right nor wrong. But regardless I did forget to put the credits up and I do see how what I said was inappropriate, and I apologize.
Basically, the situation is this......
If you want to port a theme (that someone else has created) then you need the express permission of the original creator first.
In this case, if you are to be using work by two people, you need two sets of permission.
No permission, no thread.
If you currently have not agreed this with the original creator(s) then please remove the links until you have done so.
Thanks.

I except your apology but as stated above, with me you didn't even send me a simple PM asking to use it. I can't speak for the author as I don't know if you asked him but I know he wants to be asked before it's posted. The rules here are very simple and like I had to with every port I worked on.... you need to follow the same rules.
You will find out also that all the blues are no the same hence the name mattedBlue(s) and that alot didn't match when I used that color code on my screen. All my changes were to make icons match and also prefer the deeper tones. Now I have gone through many changes since I have been working on this theme for while since Continuum 4 on froyo.
But again... if you don't like the work I did which I spent days and days on. Just don't use it at all. You don't post something saying here is this for now..... I don't like it and I'm gonna change it all later then repost it.
Opinions are fine and dandy and you have the right to it. It's just disrespectful. You should have asked to use some of it... made your changes then posted. Froili was a good example of that when he posted his version of it.
Anyways.... good luck in your port.
I remembered the rules incorrectly, sorry. The reason I used yours was because I wanted something to put up for a while before I got to the actual port, which is going to take a while. But I guess I'll just wait until I can do the actual port. And as for the Blues being the same, I really don't care, people want the theme ported so I will try to port the theme exactly how it looks. I know TW is different but that just means I'm going to have to put more work into it, which I have no problem doing...

Its understandable as I went through the same thing. But the only thing you had to do was ask the 2 of us to use it. You also could have made changes as you went.
But things here went all askew. I personally would have asked for permission then just posted it saying here is my port of mattedblues and thanks to the author and whoever for bringing it to the cappy then just make changes as you go. Not complain about what my tastes were. It was originally made for myself then decided to share it. I posted that I made changes to it and such.
I don't want to drag this on and I'm here to share what I do because this is what android is all about. SO just respect what people do by asking permission to use it and you can make changes without cause ill feelings.
Good luck
Do you really have to ask permission to use something that is open source? I'm guessing the developers on this site haven't asked samsung for permission to use their base. I understand it is proper to give credit where it is due, but I don't think permission should be required.

When it comes to themes yes permission is required. Themes (PNG's) are not part of the open source clause.
I can tell you that I have never said no and no one has ever said no to myself when I ask. I still haven't said no..... I just haven't been asked.
Very good green theme,thanks!
So is this theme still being worked on?

That's exactly what I thought. But I have decided to forget this theme because I believe this is supposed to be an open community, open to everyone. Having a price tag on something does not make it open to everyone, so I am just not going to mess with it. Someone else can do it.
