I need a theme that works for Cyans 4.0.4. I mean they are ZERO issues, none, zip, nada. There are several in the theme forum of course but I don't want to hose my phone again trying them. What's the most stable theme for cyans 4.04 other than stock?
There's no such thing as a "stable" theme. If it's created using cyanogen's theme template then it should be "stable". But anytime you modify pngs doing things like theme creating there are possibilities that there will be problems.
I'm just trying to get my phone finished once and for all. If I have wiped, and partitioned once, I must have done it 20 times in the last month. I need a theme that won't break and just works.

Theme's don't just "break". You don't need to repartition or wipe every time you flash a theme. Just flash it, and if you have issues, flash the theme rom or theme template. It sounds like you're a little over cautious...

I have found the neondroid, Ted's Hero Theme, and manup's "Black and Blue" to all be extremely stable with no issues- Chris
most of my themes are just modified images, like said themes shouldn't break anything unless you get a bad download or try flashing from a stericson lockscreen to a non-stericson lockscreen with flashing the rom in between.
also some of the larger themes require the 1.33.2005 for the extra room in /system.
the only 4 things i have really heard of problems with themes are
1. not enough room bc of 1.33.2005 spl requirements
2. a stericson lockscreen to non-stericson lockscreen with out a reflash of the rom.
3.flashing a theme not compatible with the rom version.
4. getting a bad download.
BLACK HOLE
This is my latest theme for the Epic, and will most probably be the last before Froyo is out. I'm not sure the framework changes in Froyo, but I assume it will be no trouble to port all of my themes over to Froyo after the release. I hope you enjoy!
First you need to root

do you know how the battery life on a stock deodexed di18 is compared to a custom deodexed rom. I really want to flash your theme. Also, does crake001 for the battery percentage mod work with stock deodexed and your theme?
i'm new to the android world but was successful with changing themes on my iphone. please help me by giving me step by step on how to apply this theme. i already downloaded to my samsung epic but is stuck there.
g.salas
I haven't played around with too many roms to compare battery life. I carry two batteries and don't really worry about it. I didn't do the battery in percentages on this one. It is on the list for the future. Right this second I'm using a blue battery widget. Flashing my theme over crake's battery percentage will erase his mod, but it might be possible to copy my framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. I'm not sure though. Keep checking back and the percentage mod will end up on here.

Alright, first you need to download the one click root method and one click clockworkmod recovery if you haven't done that yet. The next step is you need to choose a rom that is deodexed, or download the stock di18 deodexed rom and flash the zip in clockworkmod recovery. You cannot theme the stock rom that comes on your phone, it must be deodexed so you don't run into force closed issues. Once your rom is booted and running, just boot back into recovery and apply blackhole.zip. That isn't the basic as the instructions get if you need more help, pm me and I'll go into further detail, as well as provide you with links to everything you need. Everything you need is available here at xda. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

having some trouble with this theme i have tried it on the galaxy rom by noobnl and the epic experience and on both right after i flash it the browser,contacts,and messaging icons disappear.
Sorry to hear that! I haven't tested either of these roms with the theme. The only rom I ever themed besides stock di18 deodexed was andromeda. I'll contact a few people and find out if there is something I can change in the theme to fix this. I'll pm you with anything I find out and update the OP to let others know. Once again, sorry about that! I believe when apps dissappear like that it has something to do with noticing a change in the md5sum. So I'm guessing that I'll have to sign those apps individually to fix but I'll wait for some confirmation before having you flash a mistake again.

I found the root of the problem dealing with the theme erasing half the system apps out of the phone on flash. I re-worked the apps and just successfully flashed over Frontier GS 3.0 rom, but I know it will work finally because I had the aosp magic rom and my theme deleted all the apps on there as well. It was because I was still theming apps from the dg07 build instead of using the ones from di18. Since I was using stock di18 deodexed, for some reason the apps still took but when I flashed any rom at XDA, the results were bad. I will update the OP and post as soon as I post the fix. Sorry for any inconvenience anyone has suffered.
Theme is fixed, link is updated enjoy!
Theme update! I have been real busy but haven't stopped working on the theme. The dialer colors will be adjust next!
Included now is a fix for the power control widget where you can actually see the buttons. Also the camera is themed now, here are some pics:
**Notice in the pictures the button to switch from camera to camcorder is lighter than the rest, that was fixed before upload, they should all be the same.
Also I themed Tapatalk pro on my phone. Since so many people use it, I'll help anyone who wants their version to match. I'll supply the drawable-hdpi folder and show you how to copy it in.
wow awesome work! Where is that power control widget? does it live in another apk?
edit: I think I just found it in the settings.apk (?)
Yeah settings.apk, just pull out the pngs for the widget or you'll get the other colors as well

You need to verify which drawable folder your phone uses.. there is drawable-HDPI and MDPI for high/low res phones.. if the icons were for HDPI and your phone is MDPI, mm will think it's applying but nothing will happen...

Man I'm on the same boat as you guys. I tried doing a new theme with metamorph but no luck. Then tried to get a new clock and nothing either. Having metamorph work save us so much wasted time. Rebooting to recovery, wiping data, etc. Flashing again. A bit of info would be much appreciated.

Do this, go get the app ninja morph by stericson.. open it and run checks, then choose "new project" and hit system, then framework, then framework-res.apk... it'll extract like 1200 files, when it's finished, hit res... in there will be some drawable folders... see if you have drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-Idpi... post back in here which ones you have and that will help us to know what else to do...
Make sure you backup before flashing in case something goes wrong. I am not responsible in any way if you brick your phone. You accept all risk that comes with flashing your phone.
With this theme I decided to go for a more genuine GB look. Which is why there are more files to flash. Also after some trial and error and help from people around the forum I finished my bootanimation.
Here are some GB themed apps. These are not required for the theme to work but do make the theme look good as a whole. *note the Dialer were pulled from Serendipity and can be found on the Serendipity site.
All of the files are Clockwork Mod flashable except the "Icons and Dock.zip"
*NOTE*
This theme will not change the look of your launcher. There are Gingerbread styled icons and dock attached if you want to theme your launcher. This is not a CWM file. Download it, unzip it and pick what you want.

Guide to Themeing
The attached guide is information I use to theme the Cognition ROMs. If there is additional information that you would like to know you can ask me and I'll try to answer.
Honeycomb Theme
Attached is the Honeycomb theme that received of 70% of the vote in the poll. This Honeycomb theme has been ported from PuffinNugz's theme he created.
*UPDATE
The battery icons in PuffinNugz's theme didn't port over properly. I tried everything I could think of to get them to work but could not. So what I have done is recolor the GB battery icons to match the blues in the rest of the HC theme.
*Note
If you want your lock screen to look like the one in the screenshot you have to use the puzzle lock in the settings.
Hmmm, I'm using Cog. 3.03 and it seems that this theme only changed certain properties of the theme. For example the notification bar is from this theme, but when in settings or any other menu, the font color and type is still from my previous theme.
Otherwise great work, thanks

I observed this as well during testing. I had flashed one of the other themes available to Cog3 and found that after applying my theme that certain things were still unchanged. This is due to the apps such as settings, dialer, browser and so forth were also themed by the developer. My theme only changes the framework and twframework files in the rom itself. Not in each individial app...for now.
Ahhhh, I see. So I'm guessing that flashing a fresh copy of Cog. 3.03 and applying your theme should work?
Thanks.

You are correct. I will start working on themeing the apps later on in my free time to get the overall GB look with a little of my own customization.
Sounds great man. Keep up the good work

Cog2 uses JI6/JJ4 framework.
Cog3 is based of the Rogers 2.2 and uses JL1 framework. Other users tried to use my other GB theme on Cog3 and it didn't work. So I made one that would. Supply and demand is what will drive my themes mostly.

Which one of the Cog2 themes are you referring to? I know there are differences in the extended power menu and the status bar pull down. I'm not aware at anything else blatantly different. The reason behind the icons being different is that I didn't have new icons when I made for first two themes. If there is a request to update the old themes with the newer icons I will update them. Like I said before supply and demand.

I suppose I should have specified in the OP (will fix). The icon and dock zip file is just that, a zip file. download it and unzip the file to see the icons and dock. You will have to manually apply each one.

The red theme was by far my favorite from the hammerhead and moray ROMs. Eager to have this on my EOS Xoom.
I'd be willing to buy beers (yes, plural) for yellow, should you ever find yourself with some spare cycles (yes, I am laughing!), but I know this stuff takes time and that is always at a premium.
Again, all the investment in the red and green themes is most certainly welcome from those of us who get to show off the results to all our jealous non-Xoom owners
Well I'm glad y'all have patiently waited, but you can now sorta celebrate... redICS has been ported for EOS 2.0.0, but is still a {WIP} (Work In Progress)... With more testing tonight I'll find more things I missed I'm sure, so bear with me. There is no settings bug because I decided (at the very last minute) to take it out since it was effecting apps not related to the Xoom... still more head scratching to do on that one. If you see any issues, please let me know.

If they SoftKey mod is flashed in recovery (and not with ZipThemer or MetaMorph, etc), then the SystemUI will probably be overwritten, and any changes that redICS makes will be overwritten by his mod, or vice versa (mine will overwrite his changes). I haven't tried the mod, so I can't say for sure ATM.
If it's a ZipThemer/MetaMorph mod, then flash redICS in recovery first, boot up and use the app to do the mod and his mod will overwrite only the files he has included in the mod (the softkeys).

Flashed to EOS 2.0.0, applied redics, updated the edify, themed the softkeys with zipthemer then flashed in recovery, but didn't work. Same grayish white color. *shrugs* Oh well thanks anyways. Also I am on a LTE xoom and the theme seemed to be working fine, great work
/thanks for this going to try this out now
redICS updated to a Theme Chooser app for CM9 Nightlies! There will be issues or missing themed elements (They'll still be the stock blue), this is because of current limitations of the Theme Chooser; they're working on it tho. I will continue to develop this theme to add other apps and missing aspects of the theme. Any issues please let me know.
* I've added a test version for EOS Everest. I can't use that Rom properly, so if anyone wants to try it please let me know how it does. Please, please, PLEASE perform a nandroid backup prior to trying out the test theme, just in case.
