hey im interested in making some themes for cyanogen but dont know where to start i have already searched but didn't find anything is there any one that can point me in the right direction? i am a graphic designer and feel i can make some really nice stuff.
Start by reading the stickies, then download a few metamorphs... then go on ;-)
Yeah, I learned where files were and everything looking into metamorph themes, then I played with roms and other themes to learn it. I'm sure if you googled hard enough you'd find more info on this yourself
ok thanks guys. yeah i saw the metamorph thing but i wasnt sure if it was the same thing as cyanogen

You should do deeper reading throughout basic stuff before entering themes...
cyanogen is a person, cyanogenmod is a custom android build (aka ROM), metamorph is an app...
So go to the beginning, read, then come back!

I opened this thread to take port requests for the Buuf theme found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139
you can find more info about buuf here.
http://www.android-theme.com/
If you would like to see your rom ported please post it in this thread. I will be picking one rom to start with and then move on to others. I will pick the rom by the most posts. The posts will be tallied in a week at which point the winner will be picked. Sorry I do not have a hero phone so Hero specific roms will not be selected since i have no way to test them. hero roms that run on the G1/magic or the Mytouch/Sapphire will be considered.
exp...
rom A, B, C
Rom A = 10 posts
Rom B = 5 posts
Rom C = 3 posts
Rom A will be the first to be ported.
Rules
Do not spam your rom if you do I will ignore all posts and report you as a spammer.
do not double post if you have posted your rom once there is no need for you to post it again. You may post comments if they have something constructive to say.
keep it on topic this is about roms and the porting of buuf
Please provide a link to your rom.
Please only post active roms. that are being maintained

This was an easy port since it is based on Cyanogen mod I have a working release at the buuf theme site here. http://www.android-theme.com/ Try it and if you have any problems post to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4774584#post4774584
Note this is not the old version of Buuf this is a fully maintained new release. To use this theme you must have metamorph installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
I am trying to use this theme but a error comes up saying theme control doesnt find file. how do i really use this?
How about porting it to the Cliq? There are only like 2 ROM's for it and they're essentially stock.

you have probably downloaded the flash version of the theme. Check to make sure you download the metamorph release.

Droid
I'm dying to get buuf on Moto Droid. I'd prefer the sholes.info ROM, but I think at this point they're all really similar.
Love to get this on Bugless Beast with Metamorph.
dude, you HAVE GOT TO hook us droid users up with that Buuf mod. i love it and pissed i cant get it for my droid. i know this is strictly an HTC forum, but please, im beggin you dude, hook us uppp!
platform: n1
rom: cyan 5.x (http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/update-cm-5.0.2-N1-signed.zip)
Out of curiousity, I attempted to apply your latest metamorph and as you would guess, it didn't quite work as planned No biggie as I was planning on wiping/flashing for another reason.
I would love it if your morph made its way to the n1. Any help you want/need I could provide if that would sway you to give it a try.

If you would port this for Fresh 1.1 then I would do all the testing you would wont !!! I really would love to have this theme for my Sprint Hero. I have been drooling over it since day one. I beg you man! I will put 7 days a week, 12 hours a day helping with the port
Super D For The Win
Super D would be fairly badass
Nevermind
I was able to install the CM Buuf over my Super D rom.
Cyanogen just released a 2.1 ROM for the Moto Droid. I've read some things here and there that claim themes for Cyan mods work on this Droid ROM. When I get home today, I'm going to test it out.
I know it would take a while, but could I potentially just swap out the images on the .apk's currently on the phone? (in case it doesn't work)
EDIT: Well, I was able to apply the theme, but when I rebooted the phone and it came back up nothing had changed. I started looking through some of the .apk's on the phone vs. the replacements in this theme. The file structure is completely different, so I believe that is why nothing actually changed after the theme was applied. It looks for images in a different directory (or portion of the apk) than it used to.
I'm wondering if I could take a current 2.1 theme (for Droid) and essentially just swap out the images (not touch any xml's). Then, use MM to apply the theme with the new drawings. I can read XML, but I haven't really written anything in it... I do know a bunch of programming languages, so I should be able to figure things out if something isn't sized right or whatever. I was able to pull the framework-res.apk from the system/framework dir on the phone and replace the lock buttons with Buuf's. I then applied the apk and rebooted. The images took, but they are only about 2/3 the size of the buttons. So, you can see the transparent background of the button and then the new skinned button is smaller and aligned top / left (ish). I haven't had a chance to look at any XML stuff yet and I'll probably want to look through a full MM theme to see how certain things are accomplished.
P.S. This is potentially a "hard" way of trying to port this theme to the Droid. If anyone has a better solution, please feel free to point me in the right direction!
Should I try one of the Eclair builds as opposed to the Cyanogen build? Would the file structure be correct?
so im new to the root thing please dont make fun ha. So now that i have rooted and am running ivan... if i put themes on my phone they wont lag like they did with the ota? Also do i still need to go through like ahome or something in order to run the theme? thanks for the help

If the theme says you have to use ahome or something, then yes you do, but ones like mine, which are MetaMorphs, you just apply them via the MetaMorph app and it makes it perm on your phone. Other types of themes are flash updates, again, making it perm on your phone. Major diff on MM and flash themes are MM only affects the pngs, where flash updates changes the whole apk so you could lose custom stuff you did to it before.
Just make sure you NAND before applying anything just on the off chance you dont like it or it messes your phone up.
I cant find many themes for metamorph any suggestions where to find?

There are 2 I have posted here that I know work for CM builds and Sprint Ports. As for others, look in the Hero thread. There are tons of them there that shold work as well. Trial and error is what I did to find out which ones worked for me and which ones didnt.
Sorry if it's in an obvious place, but I've been searching a better part of the day for a compatible buuf metamorph theme. I read someone's post a few weeks ago about how they had used it. I found an xda link but it was only flashable for cm roms (I'm running celb) and it just gave me a boot loop. I even tried mm versions for other phones just to try with no avail. If there is one compatible for the eris could someone gimme a link?
TIA

I have a buuf metamorph for the Sprint Hero using Fresh, but I can port it to another ROM.
Just spending time on updating my Buufed ROM right now.
If there is enough interest I'll give it a go.
That would be VERY awesome of you! It would be great to be able to theme my CELB rom with that instead of just "blue or pink."

It's the Cyanogen ErisLightningBolt rom by Conap.
even the buuf icons found in the market for free & are a nice addition to a buuf rom as well as many other themes

Would love this!
I see it was long ago, but does anyone still have that buuf theme? I got some icons off market, but I have seen there is some missing. Wallpapers, keys and such. Would be great!
I ported the theme from Tazz's Buuf theme from his older 2.1 rom to one of his Froyo versions. It's not difficult using Daneshm90's ThemePorter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
If you can't figure it out, let me know, I have done a few. I can do one now in like 10 minutes or something as long as I have everything I need downloaded. You'll also need to sign the rom after you are finished. If this is beyond your level of expertise, I can do one for you. Just let me know what version of the rom you are using. We can use Crunchy's theme too on whatever rom, as it might be a little more in depth now than the original port that Tazz used.
Thanks! I do not yet know much about signing...It is on "the list". I'm gonna give it a wack first at reading though. May very well take you up on the help however.. I am a bit behind in things. I really appreciate ya spreading the good stuff around! Make sure to have an easy day!

This is the program that I use to sign the roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580 . The guy that made this tool is the same one that made Metamorph and Ninjamorph.

I have the same question.
I've loaded the Super Clean ROM .2 for Mes and like it a lot. I tried to load the Ultimate Revolution Theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830410on the off chance it would work and it didn't. Can anyone point out what the differences are that need to be tweaked so that it would work?
Thx!

the frameworks are different...you would have to swap out the images between the two themed fascinate framework and your mesmorize framework...as well as make any xml edits to replicate those in the fascinate theme
Thanks guys. I've got a few themes I made for the meseize, well not made but I ported them from themes that were made for the fascinated. I'll have them posted In the new mesmerized themes subforum!!!! Thanks to everyone for the help. I have a question if I use the framework and mms. Apk from my phone will my personal info carry iver?

Could you let us know when you get them posted out there? I don't think that anything personal from your phone will be on the apk's. I'm 99% sure that user info is stored in a database format. It's like when you go into "Manage Apps" and choose to delete all application data. The app still works but you have to input your personal info and change from the default settings again.
hi guys,hope someone can shed some light on what am about to ask.
i have just cooked up a rom on Doc's & Stefunel's ROM Kitchen,XWJS7_Wipe-v9_8_1, with most of all aps,all is working fine,plus installed 1 of Generation X Themes CY with boot,all good.
my question is,is there a way to put the 5 lock screens which i did have with darkys 9.3 final ?
if so how would some one like myself go about doing this,would it be a simple apk install for lock screens.
really sorry if this has been asked before,but could not find anything about it.plus i couldnt post in the dev part as not got over 10 posts
i dont like to spam and prefer to do some reading,which really does help.really starting to understand the android,first 1 loads of fun so far.plus a few tense moments aswell
thankyou for all the time you guys make the phone as cool as can be.
I'm pretty sure that's theme related. I guess if you changed your theme to the one from darky's rom you would get your 5 lockscreens back.
As to how: I have no Idea, there's probably a description in the design and themes section.
good luck
Download the Stockmod plus theme, it's basically just the lock screens and tyhe extended power menu, it works fine with docs rom, I'm running it myself.
edit. I just re-read your post and you already have a theme, this one woudl replace that.
I use it and just apply my own settings with launcherpro to make my dersktop look nice.
yeah theme is installed and i have 4 unlock screens,but would like to get that 5th 1,rotary i believe.
Small update to what i have tried to do.
1 found the keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock.xml and keyguard_screen_rotary_unlock_land.xml in other themes.
2 copied them over to the Generation_X_v2.0CY_JPUXY_JS3_NOBOOT.zip
3 flashed in cwm but didnt work
never mind
You need to flash a theme which has it built in. I know black android does and it works great with a cooked rom.
Looks awesome too.
since I'm a bit of a themer and I did my custom theme by myself,
I'll tell you how (and where) to learn:
