Will any of the themes for the Dream work on the Hero? Will we have any cool ones like Prodigal Sun? Is'nt Hero essentially a theme? I hope we get some soon. Mybe we could get a pettition going to get Google to allow theming without rooting. It's done on other phones.
The mournful howl of the wind as the tumbleweeds roll on by this post.
Hero isn't essentially a theme, lots of things have been modded in android by HTC.
It should be possible to port Dream themes made for Hero roms, but that's about it. Any other theme needs to be redone for the hero.

Why is no one really theme-ing any 2.0 roms...ive seen the xRom theme but i think thats it
...am i missing something?
There are a couple of them posted on AndroidOverdrive.com
since some of them fill up the /system partition on a G1 to 97% it makes theme-ing them a little difficult.
oh alright...
the ones on androidoverdrive are xactly what i was looking for nice clean themes
thanks! but if anyone knows any others id still be glad to check them out
there is only one theme on that site for 2.0 rom so what ones did u find?..let me know
There are a few, my Ice theme I ported, cloverdale themed it also.
Could you be more specific on where you found 2.0 themes because i never heard of eclair rom or any of that other stuff..its a bit confusing because i dont have a custom rom installed and do not want to risk it as of yet..that ice blue theme didnt work on my moto droid?..

Eclair and Droid are different. The Ice is made for standard screen sizes, it wouldnt work on the Droid being a higher resolution. It changes the drawable-mdpi, not hdpi, so it would only apply a few changes.

Daneshm90 made a sweet computer app (only for Windows ATM) to take the PNGs from one theme or rom and transfer them to another, easily and effectively theming the new rom with little effort. Right now you have to make sure that it is MDPI type stuff, so no higher class phone themes will work just yet. I think he might be finding a way around that. You can still grab themes from lots of phones like the G1, Hero, etc etc and you can use 2.1 themes for Froyo roms and such as well. I made a Buuf themed Cyanogen Tazz rom and a pink themed CELB Froyo rom for a friend that was from a 2.1 rom. So far so good... Did not have success with using Droid roms as they are HDPI. Soon though...soon... lol Feel free to stop in that thread and say thanks or ask questions. He seems quick to answer and be helpful. Since I have done a few (hey, failed ones count, you learn what NOT to do...) I might be of assistance as well. Enjoy!
Hi all, been searching for a while now and there are tons of themes for the Froyo builds but what about standard 2.1?
Ive seen Bluenex by Villian teams but i don't really like it. Where are themes for 2.1!!!
Are you wanting themes for AOSP based ROMs or Sense? There aren't that many complete themes for Sense at all really, well not on the GSM Hero side anyway. There are quite a few for AOSP but as you say probably not a huge amount for 2.1
Your best bet is to scan the forums, CDMA included as is the same res as the Hero, and then ask nicely to see if someone can port it to the ROM you are using, or take a look around at the guides for creating themes and port it yourself If you're just dealing with .png's it's not too much hassle.
This would also depend on what rom you are using as different roms *may* have different frameworks (fixes and whatnot).
This Rom/Theme is pretty sweet, is it even possible to port this over to the Fascinate? For the most part I've seen that it is Exclusive to the HTC EVO so it may not be possible but wanted to check it out.
Links to the theme: I can't post because i'm still to new to the board.

the theme could be ported...the rom atm no as its 2.2....and since im assuming its sense, it cant be ported anyway
It really blows that we do not have 2.2 yet. Especially with that screen shot that we had of end of 2010 and it still isn't here.....
If anyone is interesting in porting the theme it would be amazing!
Wondering where all the EH09 themes are at? Do the ED05 themes work on EH09? Are the devs porting themes and just not there yet? Just would like to know, thx.
All themers, please keep up the amazing work.
Most of the people that themed before have moved on to different devices. And a bulk of current users are running mtd roms (VGB, CM7, and MIUI) that include theme engines that have a vast array of theme choices available. I myself run pool party and have the one and only theme released for it. I'm surprised myself that someone that may have been teaching themself to theme hasn't poped up with a release for any touch wiz roms. But notta seems to be the only person posting anything for touch wiz.
And to answer your question since themes incleude rom specific frameworks. It would be a very bad idea to inject froyo frameworks into your gingerbread rom (it won't boot).
good day.
What he said ^^^ Please don't try to flash an ED05 theme onto EH09! Some themes should pop up in a few weeks...
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
There's a well written theme guide here and in the Mesmerize theme section. Go for it!
