making metamorph themes - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

i would like to start making my own themes for metamorph and would like a foot in the right direction with a proper theme testing program or whatever i would need, ive been googling it all day and havent been able to come up with any program to use. if anyone can help itd be much appreciated...

Here is a guide that looks like it might be useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658761 Also in that post is a link to the app dev's thread. It didn't take me too long to find this, you just need to brush up on the google skills

Theme Gallery (webpage) Up And Running HERE!!

Theme Gallery Up And Running HERE!!
Ok I got the swine flu so I decided to do something productive. I have seen many posts on here talking about a theme page and no one made one that is gallery stile. Every one I found is like Themedroid (not functional yet) and others that are forum stile. So I sat down and made a gallery for them. I updated this with all the themes posted here on xda. Yes I sat down and added every theme I could find on xda to punk-in. If you would like your theme removed please email me the name of it and I will gladly remove it for you.
I do not take any credit for the themes I just wanted a better way to view what each looks like. Now make sure you view what is required to run the theme. I am not responsible for bricked phones. Also I had to break them down into old themes, cupcake themes and hero themes. Now If I get good feedback I will organize it much better but for now This is how it has to be.

wow dude! What an implementation of a great idea! I like it! Good way to just scan through themes and see what they look like before even going to the threads! Congrats, dude!
PS: Sorry about the swine flu.
Not to shabby. Would be good for new people looking to check out themes. One thing I would change is you have 3 sections: Hero, Cupcake, and old. I would change Cupcake to just Android or something more general since cupcake is kind of old news now. Might confuse people running Donut.
how about section for themes for donut?
Could you organize them by build?
Saw a few that I liked but none that would work for CM 4.1.999

I think you should do that. Searching by build would be the easiest way for me to find a theme I like.

This is a really well put together site, thank you for taking the time to compile a list of themes out there.
PS: Sorry u got the swin flu
Wow!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's great.
You might want to go through alldroid.org as most of the new major themers have moved there
Wow! This is a great help is quickly checking out how the themes look like
Everyone is right the site looks great thanks for all the hard work. I do agree that a little more detail about what ROMs these Themes work for would be nice. Maybe the ROM specific Dev name like Cyan, JAC, Haykuro, etc would be nice but anyone could download a theme and make it work for that rom just by moving the files around. With 7 Zip and the Auto Sign tool it a peice of cake.
Get Well Soon but Enjoy the Time Off
nice work! you should put a search option
thanks for putting my theme
sorry you got that swine flu hope youre better soon!
Thanks so far for the feedback.
Thanks for the input. I feel ok to sit up and check up on some of my projects. I looked at alldroid.org and allot of the themes are there also. I will make a post there and see if they like the idea. I do not want to step on anyone's toes. I am just trying to get away from viewing all the themes via forum. I like to see all of them together and pick the one I like.
I also keep hearing people want it to have a Donut section. I will draw up an android maby eating a donut or something. LOL.
If everyone wants it more organized please give an example. Like All Cyanagin put together? Or all builds separate or how to do it? I would like to get it all set up now so in the future people can just add a pic an a link to there theme and people could look at them and do what they have to do.
Thanks for the feed back and support.

Also if you would like to look at the new punk-in beta site I almost have the home page all done.

There is a search bar. Just click the link in the upper right hand corner called "sidebar" From there it will pull up a window on the left with a search and login. I know it is hard to find. I am thinking about moving it.
good looking site. i registered. thanx
mmmm... i think you should let the themers do the dark work..

What do you mean? Is there another site that is better. I am just doing this to help but if there is another site that is better I would love to NOT have to maintain this. Please let me know.
Please note: I am trying to get away from the whole forum thing. I really like this site here http://g1wallz.com/ but they only have wallpapers.

anyone needs a graohic designer for themes?

looking to join a team, wondering if anyone would like a graphic designer for themes
Everybody would love a graphic designer for their theme, I know I would on mine cause I don't know all that much in photoshop or gimp yet. Then again I am just learning everything myself, I know where the files go and how to sign and figure out problems
graohic
graohic
so what does GRAOHIC mean then
( graphic may be ? )
it's always good this kind of help
sorry GRAPHIC! but im a pretty good designer, 22, last year at school, and im looking for something to do on my spare time, more so for themes!
so hit me up! im interested in joining a team!
Why don't you post some of your work or samples? You might get more of a response.
sorry, well i have recently jut put up a portfolio of my work, check out www.lanceyDavid.com
i guess no one needs one?

hey bro, if i were you, tackle some icons or status bars etc. use themes that are on here for ideas of what to modify using your skills. that's how alot of these new themes came about using concepts as ideas (look at the darkstar and experion themes). i think if you post what you can do, people will get a better understanding of how to utilize your talent on here. i checked out your site, and your skills are quite solid . good luck!
Yea bro your stuff looks sick, i might just call upon you for some ways to improve my themes

I sent you a pm over at android community. PM me here if you're interested( or at ac), I do all of my work here on xda though.
well hit me up! i got ur PM jroid but im looking to make a partnership with someone on a rom or a theme, so let me know!

[OpenTheme] .RemiX.

AGx-07_162 made a theme out this, but he had to leave the project because of lack of time, so he left it all to me.
I tried improving that, but had no luck XP and with school and hoemwork i have no time too :/
So I'm posting the private beta AGx sent me, the metamorph package i built (it gives me blank screen tho) and the PSD mockup, feel free to continue the theme's progress if you like
Just thank AGx for his hard work
Theme package (BETA) for CM 4.2.12:
http://fc2a26d8.linkbucks.com
Metamorph Package (Black screen) for CM 4.2.14.1:
http://9f86f6e5.linkbucks.com
PSD Source files (including launcher bg, analog clock, main theme file and default background):
http://e36def21.linkbucks.com
By the looks of it you have the theme done already...
np, its just photoshop, LoL, it's all concept art
Oh gotcha! Well it looks pretty sick, I'd gladly help...if I knew how...
Theming is all actually pretty simple.
If you want to make it yourself, I suggest starting with the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471586
From that you will understand how to theme and insert images. The only problem is finding the correct apk to change.
I'd gladly help guide you in making this theme if you'd like.
Sure ;P ill pm you my msn addy!
Give me a good reason as too why i should leave this "concept" thread open??
As from previous experiences on here, it has gone very sour.

there's no reason. close it for now. let people PM him if they want to give suggestions or help. he doesn't even know how to theme and he's doing what lucky tried to do where as lucky had some knowledge/experience. just because your last theme became a reality doesn't mean this will. there weren't many who helped lucky and it took forever. what makes you think someone will speed up a theme like this? learn it and work on it on your own and slowly get others to help if you can. that's how you'll get somewhere. don't post until something is ready. i told lucky this already, and now i'm telling you. no hard feelings.... just a reality check .

the "other ones" were over-hyped and promises that weren't met. he is neither hyping anything or promising anything and no one is posting uncalled for comments, so it should be kept open unless it starts to go "downhill"

I dont know about others but Kryogen's last concept actually turned into a not very hyped theme, because I never posted a "comming soon" or even spoke a word of the fact that I was working on it until I released it.
As for you Kry, this looks even better than your Atlantis concept. May I have the PSD? I've actually been talking with someone who's interested in making a theme so I may colab with him on this (or just help out with it.)
[email protected]
Btw, I did try to add you on MSN, idk if you ever got it tho.

ok, now this seems to be getting somewhere. good luck. hopefully nothing goes downhill for you guys. i agree, this version does look much better than atlantis.
i was trying to make it with armored, he was explaining me how to theme already made the adv.launcher trays ... didn't receive any notify for your msn add ._. pm me your address!
And...close the 3d if you want
please come out with this
The title says it all I hope you come out with this theme you should keep it as it is on the screen shots you provided its perfect thanks
I like the wallpaper in the concepts though =D.
Would you mind sharing it? Thanks!
is this theme going to be made?
Yes, just wait
I really love the dialer, the rest looks good but its not something I would use. I'm a stock android guy, but the dialer looks amazing, please don't be offended
i swear the mods have nothing else better to do but to exercise their power by closing threads. I know its just a concept but by introducing it, it allows other devs to get involved and mayble contribute. c'mon man, stop being a queef and let this ride.
queef lol. I agree completely. One of the reasons I dont like the mods here.
Defo would love to see this...long as you dont take the G1_lucky route and hype up non sense im all in.
Ill even be a beta tester if you need

make your .zips CW3 compatible (Taking Requests)

Please vote in the poll in my thread at XDA: VOTE (at the top of the page)
.zips (edify ready) are posted here in the right hand column. Android Development Page
If you are aware of my midNIGHT ROM then you are probably aware of my story. I am posting these .zips on my blog at first because my goal is to spread Autism Awareness while at the same time helping out the community. I get nothing for the traffic that goes to the blog. Sharing my story helps people to understand what families like mine go through every day. So I hope you don't mind the little side trip. It's for a good cause.
I'll add more as I get them made. A very big THANKS goes out to amosher13 for the scripts I used in these .zips.
I'll keeping adding them as I see the need. These right now should cover the basics...
If you have a request please either post the .apk or .zip. Free apps only. I will not work with paid apps from the market for obvious reasons. I will do my best to get them converted ASAP. They will all be added to the repository at my blog. All links will be multiupload....

Just to clarify, I mean the new 2-pane email, whatever that is called.
Mms no bubble
VIPERRom volume hack would be great. Can't post right now though.
I would reccomend the Hulu app. Thanks

I am really enjoying reading your blog, thank you for giving me a better perspective on my life, praying for smooth trails ahead for you guys
I also enjoyed reading your blog. It made me think about how some of us just do not appreciate our good health. My request would be noobnl's DK28 odexed and rooted rom. I had requested this from noob but I guess he is busy. Don't get me wrong I'm sure you are also but if you get a chance it would be nice. I rarely get a chance to sit at my pc for more than a half hour at a time so I know how it is. If not I would just make the changes myself. Thanks again.

Before this get's out of hand. I'm trying to do a nice things for you guys. If you have a zip you want converted POST IT. I don't have time to scour the internet and endless threads looking for zips and apks. I will also not work on someone else's ROM. If that developer wants to support CW3 then they either would have already or will be converting over themselves.
That said, I will do my best to covert as many as possible and update the repository as often as possible. Also please keep in mind that everything I currently is for DEODEXED systems only. So bring on the attachments and I will bring forth the conversion.

Sorry but I'm not going to touch someone else's ROM. I do appreciate the kinds words you have though. I just don't want to mess with someone else's work in that manner. Hope you understand.

[THEME]Porting Starts soon. Taking Requests now

I just wanted to say how ez it was to pose as some noob ... (samsungfan05) on IRC and get the knowledge of how to change the status bar on Generation X to the Revolution 3.6 solid black bar. All you have to do is, go into the framework.apk that is in your theme that you want to use as the base using your rar/zip program and drag n drop the images from the framework in the theme you want to take stuff out of, into res/drawable-hdpi in the base themes framework.apk ... APKs evidently open up with zip programs so i could have been doing this since i had my nexus one. hell i think i might post my dock i used and made for my iphone it was hella slicc. The whole process is really simple as hell I just wanted anyone that wondered if you can do this sort of thing (i used to decompile and customize themes like hell on iOS) in android, you can. it's not any more involved either... just drag n drop. if you can't pull that off... kill yourself.
So, no more can you port this theme threads for me, i'm just going do the **** myself... or if someone has a requests, for a generous donation, i will port it for you since I am well on the way to doing so. Peace
There is actually a lot more to it.then just editing the drawable hdpi.folder in the framework...,most of make at.minimum edits to over to.xml.files in the frameworks......and use smali/backsmali to edit the service.jars
Also why did you have to pose as someone else to get information...,everyone is more than willing to share what they know

So... the point of this post is that you want to charge people a lot of money to port themes?
Wow, that's not cool.
I also don't understand why you needed to pose as a noob to ask for advice. Are you that disliked in IRC that you won't be helped if people know its you?

There really is. I've been playing with it a bit in an attempt to port the NeonGT theme from the i9000 but there's more to it than swapping a few .png's and apparently I'm not totally getting it yet. A few more hours of learning and I think I'll have it down though.
