Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

My problem is i'm a noob to android and i'm on all the android sites everyday just reading and trying to learn. I have 2 eris , bogo free, one that hasn't even being used on a plan and the other one (wife's phone) which as soon as 2.1 came out I upgraded. The leaked 2.1 runs great and my wife loves her eris but I would like to install some of the custom themes for her and also enable OC and Wifi tether. But I dont know how to compile kernals etc. So if anyone would like to write a pink theme (pink keyboard, background, etc.) or point me to one that is already out I would appreciate it and im sure there are other female eris users who would like it also. So Thank You in advance for any help.
Also I realize I can install this on the leaked 2.1 phone but I'll just deactivate that one and switch to the other phone that has never been used and has 1.5 to get root.
I agree... my Gf would love something pink themed.
There is a pink sensable theme. I don't remember where it is but I have the file if ya want to pm I can email it to ya... I believe it was called droiddoespinksensable or something of that nature.
I'm not taking credit for it but this what I found if you're rooted.
I have the link if you want it. For some reason it wont let me post it here.

I tried the link but androidforums seems to be down right now. Do you happen to know anything about this theme. OC, tether, etc. Thanks I'll keep checking androidforums to see when the site is back up.

I made the DroiddoesPink rom. it was based off of senseable. I posted it on Android Forums. My wife then informed me that she wanted a Twilight them so I did that. The pink them will be a little outdated as in not haveing the overclocking and some other fixes but I could upgrade it to include all that if I can ever find some free time lol.....when Android Forums comes back up you can check it out and I will see what I can do with it.
That sounds great I'll check it out when the site comes back up. Will it have a new version number if you add OC etc.
The theme looks great just a couple of questions.
1. Can I change the background image to one of the ones I posted.
2. Can I flash the OC update that posted here on XDA.
3. Does this have wireless tether already.
4. And finally since I'm a noob is there anything that I haven't asked for that if you were doing an update to this theme that you would include.
thanks I think my wife will love this theme.

1. I can add them to the rom if you would like or you can just put them on the sd card and set them under pictures.
2. I will enable OC in the rom before I post an updated version.
3. Yes it already has wirless tether.
4. I will add apps2sd also. I will pretty much update it so everything is current in the rom.
Sounds great i appreciate your quick responds i'll looking for the update.
I really appreciate this Conap, i've been looking for a theme like this for my wife's phone too. She liked the one you already have up but i told her if you would update it i'll flash it for her. Just one question. Are system updates disabled?

System updates are disabled. The update rom is uploading now and I will post when the link is ready. I won't have time to do a whole write up tonight on it but basically it has OC apps2sd and based on newest leak now. Overclock goes up to 864 I believe but I would not recommend going over 768. My phone locks up any higher then that. The pink isn't 100% complete so you will see some blue or green pop up here and there but most of the major stuff is pink. I'm concentrating on my erislightning roms's right now so won't have time to really polish this up anytime soon so If anyone wants to work on it let me know and I will update the post with credit to that person. I did add the 4 wallpapers suggested at the beggining of this thread and they are found in the default wallpaper folder if you want to change between them.
http://www.multiupload.com/4KKEB70BPQOk here it is...sorry I don't have more time to do a good overview of up but its pretty much stock themed with pink and apps2sd and overclock added, ota disabled. should be a pretty stable rom.....DroidDoesPink2.0 Rom
Edit: seems Android Forums is having problems again so here is direct link to download..DroidDoesPink2.0.zip
thank you for the theme I showed it to my wife and she loves it. I'll post any issues and thanks again it should be popular with the ladies.
Hey Conap, do you have that twilight themed rom posted anywhere and/or some screenshots of it? There might be others out there that might be interested in it if you have the time.
BTW, really cool of ya to update the pink rom for everyone. It even caught my wifes eye. Now maybe she'll let me root her eris.
Just finished downloading, md5 is 6f1bbcd11060acf9b4c62b41129c973e is that correct?

Show her speed benefits and show off some LWP, that along with the pink theme was enough for my wife to allow me to root. I made her do it herself, think it's necessary to do it yourself to learn at least a little. Oh have her type out all her apps, my wife was pretty ticked when she lost all of her apps.

I never released the twilight theme and haven't updated it for my wife yet either. It was pretty much my Eris Lightning rom with some Twilight Icons and wallpaper and the dialer keys were a little different. When I update it I might post it but not really sure when that will be...

I went ahead and flashed it. She loves it. Everything seems to work good. Thank you. I hope your baby gets well soon.
I lost my favorite better keyboard theme. It was the Florida Gators better keyboard theme. Can you find an app once it is removed from the market if so there are others I would like to find. I have search for the answer on the net but no luck can some one help me out please.

Looks like it got pulled from the market for some reason.You might want to e-mail the developer and see what's up with it.

This is why I love this site. That's exactly the one I was looking for. My Hero is gatored out except my keyboard. I need to email the dev to see if I can get the apk maybe. Thank you sooooooo much Mac!!!!!!!!

I found out J-B THEMES has pulled all the themes for the market and places them on their site. Part of my issue is resolved. Now if some one can answer the question as to if the is a place to see other app that has been pulled from the market life would be great?

Your most welcome..glad to help out in a small way.
I don't know if this occured to you yet..but you could always try to learn how to make your own skins for your keyboard too if it never comes back to the market..I know it takes a while to learn all of this stuff..but seems like a likely alternative. There's a whole bunch of tutorials on doing various things with a Android..

No it had not I some what still a noob I would love to learn how to make my own themes and stuff but it is taking me a while due to my garbage work schedule. But I am looking into it. Thanks to root and terminal emulator I can do most of my custom stuff directly from the phone

I cant find one anywhere....well i found this one, but when i flash it, it goes back to cm6.0...doesnt stay to cm6.0.2, shoot, id even take that one, anything beats the stock theme!!! remember, im looking for a Flash theme. i dont like using side apps to make a theme, just because it takes up memory, kinda like "winterboard" for iphone. and 2nd, its an aria...the phone is awesome, just wish it had that nexus one performance!

I think you want to look for ADW.Launcher themes and they are different for the 2.2 android version. ADW has released 3 or 4 on there web site.

Np, I share your pain.
I've been searching high and low for themes and nothing. There's only one and it's called extreme blue. If you want the link I can dig it up for ya. It's not a flashable theme it's a whole ROM install.

Give it just a few more weeks! Since the stable build of CM has been out, its not too far behind that someone will have some decent themes. I am learning, and going to work on 1 myself.
It's sad that there is sooo much support for themes in other forums.
Agreed other phones are getting plenty of theme love...but the aria just ain't getting it....but hopefully it will soon

I agree it's an ok theme, I grew tired of it pretty quick. I've attempted to contact creators of other themes that I like that are avaliable for the G1 but no replies. I guess not too many people have the Aria.
well whatever you guys figure out. i wish it looked like bx-destiny.but instead of orange and black...what about a deep blood red color. anyways...i loaded it on one of the earlier alpha releases of cm6, but there is no wipe to answer or the end call button....weird...i guess not set up for the aria, which is nothing but a touch-screen. anyways....if anyone could figure out if we could get that theme for our phones, i think id stop *****ing about themes. id like a professional/fun look to it w/ black widgets like google search since i use that thing like underwear. any help would be greatly appreciated. and there has to be the "Aria Samaritan" somewhere right???
right then, ill pray for the Aria Saint who creates this theme.....

I so agree I too like and installed the Bx-destiny by LordSeth theme on a earlier version of cm6 for the Aria and had the same issues, with the newest cm6 release it doesn't work at all. I even posted complaining and asking if there is any plans to release a Aria version and got no answer. The creator doesn't seem to know english very well either. I would really love to see that theme on the Aria. I'm ok with the orange, red would look nice and so would a nice blue. I'm not picky!
Anyone know where to get/can port/or create a vanilla theme? I was using Bubby's ROM but it looks kinda like he gave up supporting it, so I switched back to JT's Superclean, but now I'm missing the Cyanogen vanilla theme in Bubby's ROM. I'm not sure if he created it, or ported it from somewhere else. If anyone else is interested, post here and maybe we can get one of our great Devs/Themers to make one for us!!!!
This might help someone get started. Looks like some .xml work is involved as well as some .jar work to get the colors to look right.
