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).

Have been through several threads on ROMs and found people more interested in tweaking the appearance of their WM6.5 2.1 or 2.5 Manila on HD. My suggestion would be to integrate these popular themes like Dusk and others into the cooked ROMs from genius like Throy, Miri etc...Preinstalled with HDWALL set to Wallpapercabs folder with different cabs or wallpapers to choose. Users will have more freedom to go to today settings and select themes they want..
Is their any integrity issue that I am not aware off? if not then why not these ROMs are pre-customized with all these themes and wallpapers...Any insight on this is really appreciated !

I love my themes and I have all components of the Dusk theme installed, but everyone is different and some users prefer a super lite version with almost nothing installed so that the phone is super quick. All these themes (to offer enough variety) would take up space and to many would slow down the speed of the phone. Whilst the themes are nice eye candy they are nothing more than just that and if one has no high powered requirements of the phone they are great, but not all users feel that way.
So basically your asking for chefs to do all the hard work for you. The fun in having a wm device is so each person can customize his/her phone to their own tastes. Everyone has their own opinions on what is good and what isn't. For a chef to create a rom with lots of different options would be more time consuming for them meaning less time fixes issues and creating better roms.
This just isn't practical and for these reasons I am closing this thread
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.
I see several 2.1 roms on the xda board, but no themes, Am I missing something?

A pair of glasses?
So you mean that on this theme section they have 2.1 rom themes? Where?
you're right there is a lack of themes around here. but i came across a good one by opasha. its pure sex
I also just finished a port of my Ice Crystals theme for Eclair ROMs
I'm not sure but probably because most people aren't running 2.1 since it's still in test phases right now there aren't a lot of themes the themes are made by people who use the rom and want to make it look better. Most people stick with stable so there's more 1.6 themes than 2.1.

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!
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!
