Works great we just need to get the Samsung widgets ported over.

It works fine, just needs to be made for smaller screens, i have icons getting cut off on the menu and the text under the icon gets in the way, but it works none the less,
BTW if you try to download the .apk on ur phone from the site. it doesnt seem to download all the way, thats why the people getting the error is gettting it
thanks for the share tho.

I should be able to fix the overlap issues in the menu but there is no point until widgets are available.
**Edit: I found some of the Galaxy widgets, I will try to port them when I get a chance. I get a "app not installed" error when I try to install them. If anyone knows how to get these to work or wants to try just let me know and I'll post them here.

I'm running LauncherPro and if you enable the 3D launcher in the settings, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO FRICKING COOL
Go to Preferences> Andvaced Settings> Use 3D Launcher

Listy - I havent tried it, but im sure if you push the apps/widgets using adb you should be able to get them in your phone.

[Theme] HeTANG for VanillaEclair 5

This theme is for RaduG's ROM: VanillaEclair 5 - "Welcome to Prisneyland, Fish" (20/07/2010)
I do not plan on updating this further, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions or other ROMs. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
It's a port from Manup's NexTANG theme, so all credit for this goes to him. You can check out his original version for the Nexus here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685584.
I also found a Droid version. On this site you can downloaded the app/folder icons. I have not included them in my theme as am not a huge fan of them, but may include them in later or the final version - DroTANG - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing so please do not bombard me with requests and bugs. I will try to update this but am not on any time schedule. If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest. What I have so far is enough for me
So... attached you will see what is themed so far. To achieve this look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'HeTANG-VE5-0.4.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or as in VE5 - 'Settings > System':
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then (if you wish) to complete the look apply the App Drawer icon to LauncherPro that you should most certainly be using , and the Wallpaper that can be found in the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' file - These are just the files. Not a flashable zip.
I hope people will get some enjoyment out of this. Enjoy!
Change Log

Notes for HeTANG

looks great, I'll try it later

flashed it and now waiting for boot up.
11min and it just hanged on HERO screen.
Pulled battery off and reflashed it and waited boot about 12 mins. nothing happens it just hangs on HERO screen. nandroid restoring now back to basic VE5b10RC. Theme sure looked nice but it wont boot on my hero.. :/

I suspect that the RaduG's latest changes to his ROM has caused this. As I said I used build7 as a base and because he's so fast )) with his updates I didn't really want to keep updating this every minute. So for those who do have trouble you will just have to wait until he gets a final version out and then I can update this accordingly.
Strange it didn't work though as the framework should still be identical as well as the apps that are themed.

Strange indeed. Anyone else tried flash this and with what results? Just want to know is the problem in my device or is it problem with wrong build number.
Anyway nice work trying to port this. There aren't too many themes to hero builds.

I have updated the theme now to RaduG's latest 'RC build10'. This should work for you... if you're running that version, which I assume most people will be.

I looked at the original thread, but i couldn't tell, does this contain the icons aswell?

Deleted. Double post by me.

Ah, no it doesn't. I didn't want to include them as I didn't really like them and didn't think people would want them. They can be downloaded from the original thread though and used via 'BetterCut' for example.
I may include them in the final version, but not sure yet.

Good shout. You can get them from here - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Scroll down to... 'DroTANG_AndroidFolders-IconPack 5.22.2010'
I've not tried them in the theme but they're only icon files so go for it.

E2: After swapping colors to white refuses to boot.. trying again.

It worked great for me, thanks for the port!

Maybemy device doesn't like changing colors cos all works just fine till i reboot phone and have swapped textcolors to white. Very strange.. but Still GJ dude. Sadly my hero won't let me theme it

So the theme applies okay, it's just the text colours don't change once you have set them and rebooted?

I appreciate you've already said this will get updated as and when, but is there any plans for including some of the other styling? the only things that I have seen at the moment is popup menus aren't styled and the search widget isn't either. Not a big deal, just wondering

I may well give it a go. At first I did port all the images from the framework over but I just ended up with everything FC on me when trying to get into any of the menus and apps, so I think I need to do it bit by bit. Some of those .9 png files can be troublesome if not treated carefully, so just gonna take some time. Unfortunately there is no mdpi version of this theme from what I can see, so each image has to be resized

Well I don't know much about theming android, but I am a dab hand in Photoshop so if you wanna send me some files and target image sizes I'd be happy to help

Thanks The problem is for most of the files you need to look at the default image from VE5 then resize the one from Manup's version accordingly. This really has to be done one by one, as not all images are scaled down by the same percentage it seems. I'm still getting my head round it lol. I'll try and take more of a look into it soon and keep you posted on any developments. Appreciate the help though

[Q] Metamorph trouble for D3 anyone?

basically im finding a theme i like. im downloading it to my computer. im plugging my phone in. im dragging the file i downloaded to MOT (D in the androidthemes folder. then i click it on it. unzip and apply all. some themes are working like custom notification icons but nothing else really is. For example i wanna change the color of my notification bar but its not working. i also tried the gingerbread (statusbar + icons) and thats a no go for me either. i get an error where it says status bar not responding. blah blah blah and everytime i hit force close it pops back up again. Am i doing anything wrong? I am stock deodexed tho. it worked great no problems. if someone could walk me through the steps that would be awsome. Am i not putting the themes in the right folder or something? bare with my guys im a newbie i appreciate your help!

The Metamorph themes here seem to work fine. I'm running the whitebread one. However, I went to a site dedicated to metamorph themes and found a theme with the Bionic logo in my notifications(well, behind my notifications) when I pull it down, that's supposed to work for the Bionic and Droid 3, but when I do it, on reboot I'm flooded with force closes. I tried it about 3 times since I had nandroids, but gave up cause waiting 10+ minutes to restore my phone became to much of a hassle.
It seems when it reboots on it's own I get all the force closes, but when I do it manually it works fine.

yeah i know what you mean. but am i putting the themes in the right folder on my computer? i dont understand why it wouldnt be working at all

"AndroidThemes" is the right folder.

Handcent skin mod

This is the first anything I have put forth to share, but wanted to because everyone shares with me. I took the darkness skin offered by handcent and put my own twist on it. The only way I've tried to apply it is to uninstall the original one and install this one. No need for root access. I hope you like it...
Screenshots:
no longer available.
This my latest and final one. It is the same type of skin as the one above, but this one replaces the metal skin.
no longer available

It's a bin file can't install...

Well its the colors more than the skull I was going for.

If anyone has suggestions of what they would like to see, let me know.

I can't get this to work at all on liquid 3.0 for the thunderbolt... That's the only snag I've found so far.

Edit: moved updated skin to first post.

I can't install it on my HTC Desire with CM7.1. Handcent is up to date. After the install failed I resigned the apk and tried again but still no luck. Any ideas?

I had problems with liquid for the thunderbolt, and also with a few other roms. I haven't changed anything and it works on bamf forever. I'm not sure what keeps it from installing on certain roms. I tried adb push and that didn't work either. I'm not very well versed in system operations. I wish I had a definitive answer.

I tried a few more times (resigning, repacking and resigning, repacking and optimizing and resigning etc.) but still no luck. Maybe it's because of my ROM (CM7.1) or the Handcent version (3.9.9.1) but there are problems even with the original handcent skins from the market (I tried the Halloween skins). They install but I can't select them in the handcent app.
I also tried to mod the handcent apk but even stranger things are happening there: it installs without any issues but when I open it it crashes. No FC warning or something but it simply closes right away.
I'll keep trying so maybe someday we can all enjoy various skins for handcent.

Thanks for the effort. It only worked on certain roms for me. My friends with unrooted phones didn't have any trouble, so unfortunately I think it just wont work for everyone. I am making another one, but I wont be able to put up any screenshots.

Okay... I changed one more... It will be my last one because I get bored quickly of any one thing. I'll put it in the first post.

[Q] Where the heck are the icons stored?!

I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.

Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.
