[Theme] Phenom - JF 1.42 RC33L / *Updated Feb 18th, 09*

Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.

well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.

aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.

Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.

well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.

Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:

Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.

Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D

I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

As far as the arrow in landscape mode, I'll fix that up as soon as I'm back home. I'll have an update up at about 2am most likely. Let me know if you notice anything else so I can patch it up too. Thanks.

[Theme] STOCK Green highlights?

Can someone point me in the right direction for a system-wide green highlight theme? (see below)
The only one I found modded some of the tabs and made them circular/ovalish...
Neejay said:
Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make a theme/flash/zip whatever to make ALL the system highlights GREEN.
I don't want any of the icons/notification bars/squares or anything else changed. JUST green highlights.

Damn...I don't know anything about it really. I guess there's a reason this isn't abundant? I've seen a few blue/red/pink/etc. highlights, but hardly ever any greens.

DarkStar has a lot of green... Elegance too... and i think almost every Hero one... just download a bunch of them and test!

Cool, but are they JUST green highlights? I don't want a black theme, I don't want other stuff to be different (text, icons, etc.). I'm just looking for green highlights over the stock orange one.

YESSS!! I want the same thing the orange is just a horrible color! I want my normal theme with green highlights that would be perfect

Go to morphs by wigwag. There's a MM for green selection effects. I think that's what you're looking for?

wigwag's is actually the only one I've found, but his 2.6 version (last time I checked) made some of the tabs oval/roundish instead of leaving stock. I'll do a nandroid back up and flash it again to double check it.
EDIT: It's not as bad as I thought...few things are still orange (dialing, when you press the numbers, they're still orange; pressed launcher is still orange) but it'll do for now. It's pretty damn good.

this is a great start but i would love to replace all things orange especially those of which are on the home screen.

I know how..
I have been doing a similar task, except I have been replacing all of the orange with blue. The main things you need to modify are the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ and Launcher.apk in /system/app/
The apk files are just zip files renamed to apk. I believe that some (such as the Launcher.apk) have to be zipped without compression. I have also read that these need to be signed, but I have not had any problems doing so without them.
So, backup these files, modify them using the image editor of your choice (there are probably around ~300 images to modify), and then in recovery replace the apks with your new modified ones.

Themed Cyanogen 6.1.1 ROM - Dark/Black

I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute

Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

Can you also possibly make this a metamorph theme file too? That would save me a lot of time

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

Awesome! Haha, yeah I actually had that for a while before I found out you could change the way it takes a pic. :x Glad to hear you guys had fun though
As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!

Thanks, got the lockscreen slides from alt+dark posted in the dark hero theme from somewhere. **Reminder** none of themes images are mine, I simply found and compiled them all to make a singular theme

for now this is the theme that i hav applied using metamorph http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...nse-201-cyanogenmod-61-stable-nb285-15122010/
but I really like how you made your theme dark n stuff its very nice , if you could make this into a metamorph theme it would be greatly appreciated, but if not its really no problem.

This is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing.

Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?
Im reeeeeallllyyy liking it

What do you mean 'only' the settings menu? You want a different menu theme or something?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798

I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.

I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?

The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .

Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.

Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.

Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.

Awesome thanks man

I don't know if this is how it is on the phone but in your picture the 'black' has a green square next to it. Also, does this overwrite the current accent colors? What I mean is, if I already have xboxmods SP1 installed will I now have like 3 different 'green' accents listed? If yes to the multiple 'green' accents, could this be fixed? If no, fantastic!
EDIT: One other thing. Would it be possible to have the names listed with spaces? For example at the top you have 'darker blue' (good) but lower down you have things like 'mediumblue' and 'oldlace' (bad grammar) and so on. It would just look better/more professional.

OMFGGTFOLMFAO!
Use your registry editor to do whatever you like!
This is the same List Box Selection listed in Microsoft Programming manual for Windows Phone 7 for making a Silverlight application with exception of adding
nokia blue, darker blue, darkest blue & navy seal blue.
I added those in myself.
They are simply 6 digit html color codes along with an added alpha channel
Every color needed 3 lines of code in the registry properly named and numbered
We did it buy the book so this is as professional as possible! If you want to rewrite the book or the registry or make a nice video tutorial for someone to learn something buy all means be my gest.
If you want to take your phone to lows or home depot & mach up color names please to so!
Everything has now been hardcoded in to the registry. The colors where actually already there but the registry values had not been written yet! Microsoft gave us 10 colors & allowed careers to add 3 of their likening for business purposes the problem is with both Windows mobile 6.5 & Windows phone 7 is that Microsoft gave us the bare minimum of what we actually needed without customization options.
Which is the #1 reason why wp7 is not more popular than android.
They just wanted to make something that worked well & be light in size.
When Microsoft make something thay don’t make it to look good. They make it to work good. Because if it works good then it will look good! ;~) So now it works & looks good! You have 154 new colors in your system that take up almost no space. I whooping 33.34kb is next to nothing! & on top of that you can now customize your phone in the blink of an eye!
Keep in mind that some of the colors don’t mix well with the dark & light background!
For instance if your using darkest blue on a black background you have trouble reading the darkest blue text! & other visual problems will occur with the mix of serein colors.
As you can see a lot of medium & light colors have been implemented because most use a dark background however we could possibly make more darker & darkest colors!
The darker your tiles the less battery drainage!
I note there are 2 blues 2 to greens but they different shades.
In time more colors will eventually be added!
The 10 default colors are not named correctly but more or less just simple easy to see colors.
You can simply remove or rename any accent color you like.
I had to do a lot to get you guys here and I had also a lot of help to bring you this
However I don’t exactly feel like typing up 50 names of thanks so I will just say thanks to everyone! I just cranked out lines & lines of code on top of a lot of other work I’m doing this was just a side project please don’t say its not profesonal it’s a gift. Unwrap it!
I also converted to HTML (Hyper Text Markup Lang) But nvm enjoy!
also feal free to make 100.000.000 more! & share hear!​

Works great !!! very good job , now plenty themes to choose from !!! nice work.

I can confirm that to..works great!sooo many colors

Yes there is,
Black 000000 displays as what ever color you have set to your theme to at the time of picking it.
If you pick black it will work just fine with the exeption of you not being able to read black text on a black background.

Nice colors! Thanks, but I have duplicates how can I remove them easily?
Is there a remove cab so I can delete all existing colors before re-applying?
Why doesn't your Colors cab just overwrite the ones already there?

I already use a program called Advanced Config. It lets you make your own colors on the phone, rename them and much more.

Mod Edit: Attachments removed per OP request. ~TRM
Well, for those of us that prefer not to have duplicate colors listed in an already very large list, I have edited the color rgu in the CAB and attached it to this post in a zip. All it needs is to be re-added to the cab and resigned, something xboxmod would have to do. I also fixed the theme names so that there are spaces in-between the words in the name. For example 'AliceBlue' is now 'Alice Blue' as this offers a much more professional and polished look for the end user.
EDIT 1: I'll ask xboxmod if he can build the cab again for us. If he does I'll post it here. I don't want to take any credit for this as it is a good idea that wasn't mine, I just want a better end result.
EDIT 2: xboxmod was nice enough to rebuild the cab but I noticed some errors I overlooked so I will be fixing those and then pestering xboxmod again.
EDIT 3: Ok, so I have edited jackrabbit's cab so that it should have no duplicates (this is assuming 7720+SP1 or higher) and have the names with proper spacing. Enjoy!

jackrabbit72380,
I would like to say THANK YOU for your gift!

Thare is a bug in the Accsent colors made with Advanced config.
The program uses old version of "xxxx_ThemeResources.xaml" & "xxxx_System.Windows.xaml".
There is some applications that wont display text corectly.
Also thare are not duplicate colors In COLORS.cab If you have duplicate colors then you can simply remove them with a registry editer as I stated in my second post.
We dont want an advanced config! Insted we have advanced system menu with all tweeks cooked in. witch is what we try & do.
just navigate to...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/0/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/1/Accents & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ControlPanel/Themes/AccentsDisplayName
Then remove the values you like.
In all 3 directorys for each accsent!
Honistly you should not even have to do this.

dont think thats true, the back light is always on and is consistant across the screen, the display panel then has several layers of filters, electrodes and other molecules which light passes through, to display darker colours the display needs to block more light coming through, which in a tiny way, will use more energy. If you want to use less energy you need to block less light, ie have a white background and have a primary (light) colour
Yes, Geek alert!
i doubt its even measurable on our devices so i wouldnt worry but for hardcore energy savers, light is the way to go with colours, dark is the way to go with backlight (thats the biggest energy blackhole we have)

Thanks, but can you also ask xbmod to give us a remove cab with it. Honestly, every cab should be removable in case users have problems.
A few issues I'd like to mention:
I set one of the new colors yesterday, and this morning I noticed my phone was very sluggish. I switched back to one of the original colours, and my phone was immediately back to normal speed. This cab was the only thing I changed on my phone yesterday, so I think there could be an issue somewhere.
Also, the new colours don't take effect inside 3rd party apps like Whatsapp. I don't mean the tile, I mean inside the program (e.g. A-Z in contacts) where the new colours always show up as the default blue.

It's been several years since I was active on XDA Forums, used to love this site, and am looking to get back into it!
I'll be posting some of my themes here, with links to the Market and my site (sig) so you can check out more if you're interested. Please let me know what you think, any requests, etc!
Enjoy!
PS anyone coming from windows mobile?

Your themes are truly amazing.
I did not buy one (i personally find themes that cost more than 1 euro expensive), but the screenshots are way more beautiful than any other skin i 've seen in the market

I didn't know swiftkey supported themes, do they now?

Are you taking requests? I like how you make themes for both Go SMS & Touchpal so that they can match!
I'm currently using the Dark Swift themes (which match fine) but testing out the Dark Blue themes (which don't match quite correctly).
Can the Touchpal keyboard be changed so that the letters on Touchpal are Black instead of White (to match the SMS chat bubble). Also, the color on Touchpal seems off by a little but, possibly due to the gradiant. Can the Touchpal blue color be made a few shades darker to match the SMS bubble blue color?
Thanks!
ps - tried to email you, but don't know if you check or of it just failed to get there

Hey polstein!
Glad to hear you're liking the themes!
I just checked it out. I don't think I'll be doing black letters on the keyboard just for visibility issues.
Although I can look into changing the color to white on the SMS bubbles. What do you think?
Funny I never got an email, which address did you send to?

Thanks for the reply!
I sent the mail through the address listed in the Market (ok, the Play Store..grr).
I'm not even sure which theme I'm using at the moment, I've been switching around a lot and still can't decide on a keyboard. Every time I try to stick with one, things jump out that annoy me & I switch to another (then repeat). Touchpal is pretty good, but has some annoyances (and while updates come out regularly, the dev doesn't seem to be responding anywhere).
Mostly, I like having the keyboard & sms match themes. In the case of the Dark Blue theme, the black text on blue looks pretty good in Go SMS, trying to imagine what it would look like on the keyboard (black letters on the blue keys). Could go white text in GO Sms, but might be a small step the wrong way (and upset people using it already). Either way, please don't change just for me - I don't think I'm going to stick with the Dark Blue Touchpal skin, it's just too bright for me.
In general, the ones I tend to like are darker skins with color accents. (Perhaps a version of Dark Blue Touchpal - flipped - so the keys are black and the accent/letters are the blue to match the Dark Blue Go SMS theme?)
Finally, I made a feeble attempt with the theme builder to make a GO Sms theme to match the "Classic" touchpal look (grey keys with black letters and blue accents. I used mspaint to grab the rgb values of the skin & made backrounds & bubbles in Go Sms to match the keyboard.... and it looks like like crap. Somewhere in there, I'd love to see a Go Sms theme to match the Classic Touchpal look. I know you can do a much better job then I can
Thanks for any work you do!

I'll look into doing a classic TouchPal theme. Added to the to-do!
Also to note, nearly all our Go SMS themes are now $1.99!

Hey polstein
I have since rectified the email system.Seems emails were being withheld. All is working now! Email away
Read your post again today and I am wondering if you've checked out the Dark Phone Series. By your description it seems like it would fit perfectly into your request for black keys with blue accent highlights.
It's actually my favorite right now I have it running as I type this message! Have a look and see what you think!
www.a.bbtdesigns.com/dark-phone-series
It's currently available for Go SMS and Go keyboard. Coming soon for Go contacts.
I'm interested to hear what you think!
Best,
Kris

Wow....
This actually looks very nice.
I want to use it now
