DISCLAIMER: Any modification to your phone is done at your own risk. I am not responsible for any problems you MIGHT incur by applying these bootanimations.
Also, I have only made/tested these on my Captivate running Cogniton 2.2 Beta 9. I can not guarantee they will work on other phones/ROMs.
Since Designgears has finally released a version of Cognition 2.2 with Voodoo and Boot Animation support, I've been having a little fun making a few. I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread specifically for Captivates, since this hasn't always been easy for us Cappy users to have custom boot animations!
I figure this would be a good thread for everyone to post their bootanimations, and get help on how to make them work.
If you post one that you did, please try and make a GIF of the animation as well. Even though it may display differently on the phone, it would give you an idea of what it looks like.
These bootanimation.zip files need to go into /system/media. I use Root explorer to just copy them from my SD card to that location.
ADB or Terminal Emulator:

Assuming your /system partition is set to rw (read-write), you just open a command prompt and cd to the directory containing the bootanimation.zip. You then type "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media".

Now I'm sure there are some more talented people than me on these boards, so let's see them!
I'll have to check these out when I get home. For now, I'm using the one for the R2D2 Droid 2.
Nice ...
Can you provide a short tutorial on how to make one ?
Currently using the N1 and Win7 mash up. Spinning orbs into the Nexus "X".

I actually used this tutorial to get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I had used this kernel that supports the bootanimation.zip files first, but couldn't get it to work until I installed DG's beta 9 Cog 2.2.
It just seemed to work then.
Take note, if you look at some of the ones I posted, my part0 folder is empty on some. It doesn't seem to need anything in there, since the instructions in the desc.txt file tell it not to loop, so it goes right to the part1 folder. That is where all of your images go.
If people still seem to have questions, and maybe don't get that tutorial I posted, then perhaps I'll add a simple quick tutorial at the beginning of this thread. Bear in mind that I am using old school software (Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation shop), so you will have to adjust accordingly if you use newer stuff.
Anyway, just added two more!
I like "Android Basic". It's simple. I like that.

I currently use Absolute System to install boot animations, it would be nice to see these added to it's current database
Nice work!
EDIT: Nevermind I just moved your files over to goodies directory of Absolute System, working great!
My first crack at a boot animation...
Hey everyone,
Long time lurker/flasher, first time poster
Inspired by Cognition 2.2beta9 and its new ability to customize boot animations, I thought I'd try my hand--particularly since I know nothing about coding and cannot contribute in any way, shape, or form to that endeavor.
I hope somebody find this interesting/cool/quirky. Let me know what you think:
(Sorry--forum won't let me post images/links yet--you know what to do...) h t t p : / / w w w .broughammedia.com/download/android/cog2-2_b9-bootanimation.gif
(I trust that, if you're going so far to download this thing, that you understand what you're doing and that you in no way hold me responsible if it causes your phone to singe your fingers, kicks your puppy, or speaks in a ribald nature to your mother. You've been warned )
Thanks for looking!

Thank you! I appreciate the comment. Incidentally, do you have any idea how many posts it takes before you can add images and links?
Since my day job is video production, this seemed like a fun and natural extension. Plus, it gives me a chance to work on my After Effects and animation skillz.
If anyone has any ideas or concepts they would like to see for a boot animation, I'm all ears... err, eyes. I'll probably try to make a new one each time a Cognition ROM rolls out, as that is my ROM du jour.
Thanks again!
Love this

Now that's the talent I'm talking about!
Awesome Job! What did you use to make that, and where can I get it so I can start learning?
One suggestion/request though; since there will most likely be more iterations of Cognition 2.2, would it be possible for you to make one without the beta9?
Thanks for contributing, you're the first!

Thanks! I built that using Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and a couple third-party plug-in packages I use. AE is probably a little more coin than you want to drop for something like this, but hey--never hurts
I can build a "non-beta-branded" version--no problem. That way this one can live on if the rest I build suck As mentioned, I'll probably roll a new one out every time an updated ROM drops, though at the rate they seem to be coming, I'll have bloody stumps of fingers in just days
Anything else you'd like to see in that text line instead of the "beta9" part?

Cognition v2.2 "Electric" boot animation
Right-o; per Demented's request, here is a new version sans beta:
ht_tp:_//_ww_w.youtube.com/watch?v=f6YpI01j8tY
This gave me an opportunity to fix a few "bugs" of the first version. I also changed "v2.2" to "version 2.2" because it balanced better. It's all about the yin and yang, baby...
Zip is attached to this post as is a preview image.
Order up!
(P.S. Would a mod please make it so I can link stuff, already? kthxbye.)

What's up guys. I should have taken the advice of a wise old man(Teh Dust) jk lol when he suggested a couple days ago I make my own thread. Anyway this thread/theme/skins are a work in progress. If its seems like I am all over the place with this stuff, its probabaly cuz I am. My thread maintenance skills are sub par, but all you guys care about is the good stuff right
With the exception of the BTC2 & Twitter widgets, the base of my work has been focused on Rosie colors. I will try and maybe create nuetral themes(whites,blacks,greys) so that they can be interchangable with Rosies you may find here. I welcome anyone who wants to share their custom skins to go ahead and post here for all. Just tell us what version Rom you pulled the .apk from so we know its compatibility and to avoid posts asking where it came from.

*****************************
So here is the lite Neon Hero theme for JACxHEROWSKI v1.4. This theme is EXPERIMENTAL as it still needs some testing. IT IS NOT THE FULL ROM. I have successfully flashed it over JAC's Rom without any problems. FOR BRAVE SOULS ONLY!!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! The theme will delete data on /system/sd so make sure you use BACKUP FOR ROOT USERS or apps of the sort to backup all your important apps/app data/settings/contacts etc. You will have to go through the setup again same as when you flash new roms
Directions:
1. BACK UP ALL APPS/APP DATA YOU WISH TO RE-INSTALL
2. Place on root of sd
3. reboot into recovery
4. NANDROID BACKUP!!
5. *****DO NOT WIPE*****
6. apply either as update.zip or use the any zip flash function
7. Reboot

**************************UPDATE 8/20/09*****************************
IamLugo said:
Alright, I could no longer wait for a Hero template so i decided to put my smarty pants on and create one myself. The end result, is a working lite Ice Blue hero theme(not the full rom) that SHOULD be able to be flashed over Drizzy's Who's Your Hero roms. I label is experimental because its still needs to be tested & its a work in progress. I have successfully applied it to Drizzy's ChampionV2 rom without any issues. The theme zip will clear your app_s,app, and dalvik cache folders the same way if you were to flash a new rom. And upon reboot you will have to go through the set up. I havent figured out a way around this as its coded into Drizzy's hero roms, so for the moment it will have to do. I created this to try and make theming the Hero an easier process, and if they're arent any major issues hopefully it will be a breeze from now on and put things on the fast track. Any brave souls want to try it out? but use at your own risk. If you have issues please post and let me know and if you are able to flash without problems on different roms also post here.
I hope other Hero themers can work with me if there are ways to improve the Hero Theme template/update script. I have reached out to Hero devs but they have enough on their plate to deal with. We need this really bad. The method of flashing below was the only way I successfully flashed without bootloops
Directions:
1. BACK UP ALL APPS/APP DATA/DATA YOU WISH TO RE-INSTALL
2. Place on root of sd
3. reboot into recovery
4. NANDROID BACKUP!!!!!!

UPDATE: Ice Blue JACxHEROv1.1 8/17/09
Alright so here it is. Not much to say other than enjoy, and post feedback. A FULL WIPE, EXT partitions and all is recommended to avoid bootloops. Nandroid backup to be safe. I will be holding off on the Drizzy FullV3. I ran into some issues during testing. Mainly apk/odex issues. The Mms.apk was acting a fool. And so was TouchFlo. I need to redo a couple things and it'll be released. But after testing, I do believe that most JACxHerov1.1 apks are compatible with the Who's Your Hero Roms. Use at your own risk!
**This is a Full Rom, put it on the root of your SD and flash!**
Also to other themers, you are more than welcomed to use my work. I encourage it . If anyone wants to try and port my work to other Roms, feel free. But at the very least give me a shout out. That much would be appreciated.
This theme is still a WIP, because there are still a few things to touch up. But as is im sure it should satisfy. This is my first Full Theme that has been shared with the Community. Much has been taken, now I give a little back. Thanks to all the Devs who lead the way! Anyway enough talk, screens:

HELP NEEDED FOR A CUSTOM ONE-OFF ROSIE
***8/14/09 5pm
Okay so I'm working on a new design for a Rosie and I can't seem to find where the "Phone" .png or .xml is located. This Rosie is pretty much done. The Hero logo in the middle replaces the old middle tab button as the action button. Also I need if somecan to either edit or find the file that moves the red sliders position. I tried to contact Diaztradeinc because he has something similar in his Blues/Dark Red themes but I haven't heard back from him. If some can either send the file or even the Rosie.apk from that theme I can just swap it in. If I can finish this Rosie, I will be able to build from this and possibly come up with something else in the future. Anyway heres a screen shot, tell me what you think
When Pressed
Edit: Just realized I might swap splaces and make the white Hero logo the default rest tab. It think it'll look better reversed. Off too continue working on the theme. Hopefully ill have something completed this weekend.
Oh and a New Transparent Light Blue Rosie can be seen here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4330396&postcount=28

Okay guys. I just got home and ill be working on the BTC2 pack for a couple hours before I head out to see District 9 tonight . I already have a few more widgets done. I even touched up the color placement on the Twitter widget. I even started messing with the framework so anyone who is a fan of the BTC2 will probably like what I've come up with. Just have to fix a couple things with these .9.png files. Anyway I should be uploading files myself from now on(hopefully) to make it a lot easier for you guys.
I haven't looked yet, but if someone has a theme template for the most recent JacxHero time it would be a lot easier to put an update.zip together. Let me know.
Sick. Sick. Just plain ill.

changing the color of the loading circle to darker red...not as dark as maroon but a lil lighter than maroon n darker then red...and could use the same color when u click on any app...may b the image below...i dont really have the greatest graphic program but may b something similar to the color below as the loading circle and stuff...also if u wanna test something c how the application tray would look with the background the same as the wallpaper and the where it says "All Programs" could b change to the same color as the loading circle
these r all suggestions...u can try it out and c how it looks...i'm trying to get into the whole development/cooking of the ROMs and modifying icons for apps so if i get somewhere i can probably explain it a lil better hahahaha lol let me kno wat u think bout it
I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.
Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.
Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts
note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.
Stick the .zip on your sdcard
Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)
When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.
Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:
Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.
After the reboot your font will be applied.
The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.
You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.
Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?
If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.

You can simply unzip the file and inside you will see all the different fonts by name. When you open one up you will see two ttf files, one is bold and one is standard. Click on the ttf file and it will show a preview.
No idea what VLC is...

Here you go, theres 22 of them so I'm just going to post the link to the album, if you want me to post each individual picture than I will, but I think that would be way too many photos and too cluttered, specially at 800x800 res like they are lol.
Samples Of Each Font
I only got the Standard versions of each one, the Bold versions are no different other than they are, well, in bold lol.

Good deal!!! This makes is much easier now to pick and choose the font we wanna install, thanks again, to the both of you!
I'm really liking the droid logo font. Is there any way we can make this smaller for screen fitment. I would love to add it to my theme

+1 I would like this also.
Very nice! My personal opinion the "Russel Squared" font looks the most "Android-ish" if you will. Of course thats just my opinion. Also it fits very nicely, looks good in the app drawer, messaging, etc.
Anyways way to make it easy for the noobs. I personally always extract the zip first, and use "Pick existing theme" then find the XML of the theme. That way I dont have a zipped and non zipped sitting on my SD. Its a little tiny file I know I'm just anal
In any case though you made it simple for all of us to add some more variety to our themes with utmost simplicity Thanx!
wow, works very good, thank you
Is there a way to add our own fonts?
thanx.
Just Love it!!!

I remembered doing this on my samsung moment and thought I'd try it on Epic and it works for fonts, maybe we can figure out how to do themes as well in the future.
Here is a link to the original thread by Stericson: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329 about the app called MetaMorph for more detail, the general idea is to have theme/font files on the sdcard and the app will install them for you with a reboot to complete the process.
Here is a .zip to try it with: MyFonts
note: I have only tried 3 of these and one was a bit too large. This won't hurt your phone it just won't look right. The stock font is in it for restoring if you wish to.
Stick the .zip on your sdcard
Download MetaMorph from the market(both free and donate versions available)
When you first start the app it will do a system check and if you don't have busybox installed it will tell you. If it says you don't there are free/donate verisons on the market as well so go grab it and install it. I installed it with the default settings.
Now open MetaMorph again and after the checks select Unzip/Extract new theme. None will show but thats ok, hit the blue arrow on the bottom. Now scroll to MyFonts.zip and select it. After it extracts you will see a screen describing the details, hit close. You will see a list of fonts now that all begin with SubTheme:
Select the one you want to apply and then hit Apply it! and Continue? It will then ask you to reboot but that isn't working for our phone so just hit no and do a manual reboot.
After the reboot your font will be applied.
The pick existing theme function shows the fonts but they all show as empty for some reason. No worries, use the Unzip/Extract option and either update/replace option and they will show again. Not sure why you have to extract them every time but it still works this way.
You can add and delete fonts from the sample I provided if you are adventurous. Just unzip it and take a peek at the structure inside as well as the xml control file.
Just thought I'd share this for those who are lazy like me yet always trying to change the look of there phone throughout the day...or am I the only one that does this?
If anyone knows how to use this more properly or anything I've missed I will update this post, thanks.

nope, you're not the only one..... this is exactly what i was looking for. the only thing is, the app goes thru the whole process, but when i reboot, the font isn't chnged. not a hige deal, but i would like to see what these fonts look like on my phone.
Raider I changed the fonts in a theme and it killed the rom because it looked for the details loaded into the ttf to match the name of the file. Example is if I found a font I like and on the phone it's androidsansserrif and I just rename *.ttf the fonts description was still the original fonts name and therefore the phone would stop. Does this method bypass having to use a font creator to change the description or did you have to change that for all of them. I'm running dk28 dont know if you are or not

I wanted to be able to get the themers to use mm as well, so I been experimenting with it and there are a few limitations that are a killer.
500 file write max. Most in depth themes will be two or 3 separate flashes .
framework has to be last because it causes a reboot and sometimes takes 2-3 flashes to take everything
On top of that, we have technically two frameworks. We would be doing a lot of support in our threads. Also it can't theme market apps it claims, I hope it can, cause that would still add an update zip for all of them.
I wanted to get stericson and some of us themers to work together on getting some of these hurtles behind us.

I seem to remember on the Hero this not being superior to any ROM cooker/themer changing the update.zip b/c of lots of FC's. I *thought* this was better for stock users but I don't know, I remember themers changing fonts through other methods though...
It actually work wonders for small flashes, either fonts or just a few pictures. Its also easier for testing an image and you have to keep flashing over and over. As far as fcs and all the only problems I get are errors in my code. It's entire themes that give it hell .

It came out nice so please feel free to donate
Huge credit to nitsuj17 as the green revolution images and his themed apps were the base of in which i purple mystified.
Included superdark transitions/animations thanks to thatdudebutch.

and credit to dtachd for the text removed from the dropdown icons
other credit to Manup456 retrokid223 for the statusbar icons
thanks gimp for helping color the images fairly quick
and thanks theme kitchen for the battery.

i wasnt saying you didnt do a lot of work
i think you've also gotten the wrong impression about what i said. i never said "credit me for everything" or anything like that. i just wanted to make the point that if you use someones theme as a base (which we have all done at some point) just remember to credit who they credit for various mods or the source work
its a learning process and ive forgotten to do so myself at various points in time. its not the end of the world, but something in the android world that is important nonetheless.
you've clearly put a lot of time and effort into this theme and it shows...and its not something to give up theming over by any means at all
its clearly not neccessary to thank gimp

Thanks. As you know I am new to this, and I apologize. I do realize now that giving credit is very important in the android world. I just wasn't thinking about it at the time of this post. Of course id like to thank everyone and everything but I wasn't thinking it was neccessary.
Anyway, I did my best fixing it. And I wanted to inform you that's its not a big deal and this deffinitely isn't the reason I'm retiring from theming. I just need a break. Dealing with a lot of stress and pain atm for a variety of reasons. And it tends to make things worse than they actually are. Ill be back in the future. Especially if we get cm7. Again, your work is amazing and ill be sure to give proper credit for the future. I didn't mean to cause a commotion here.

Hi! So there's just one minor thing I found that's not quite right with this theme. Hitting the menu button brings up the options for menu, wallpapers,edit,add,etc. The text on those options is cut off at the top. Otherwise its great, here is so much purple in it! So nice to have something suitable for the women

Hi all!
I have recently been playing around with the Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread (aka GingerSense) ROMs, and had to of course port (and improve) my original PCB Sense Theme from days ago. I have been testing it myself for quite a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all GingerSense XDA users.
Couple of things to note:
This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Sense scheme, but want something unique
The file is a 7.7mb signed .APK created using apk-manager 4.9 for Sense 2.1...I may make a Sense 3.0 port if there is enough demand (need to play with .m10 editing still)
It is installable on HDPI devices only by simply copying to your device and running, and is uninstallable by Titanium Backup, or applying another Skin in Sense, and highlighting PCB Sense, then MENU --> DELETE...it doesn't appear in "Settings --> Applications", but why would you want to uninstall it anyways?
I have edited a poopload of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...I believe this may be one of the few Sense themes out there which attempts to skin >90% of resource images (I may be wrong, but still)
I tested (and approved of) this theme on my Desire (Bravo) running LeeDrOiD v3.3.1 and InsertCoin GB
The font used in all screenshots is "Ubuntu", however "Storopia" also compliments the skin nicely
The font used to make the custom clock widget is "OPTICBOT"
This theme took me about 55-60 hours to complete
I've seen some other mods/ports of my theme before, and while I am a believer in sharing and caring, it would be nice if you asked/PM'ed me before using my theme for any other purpose than your own enjoyment. I'm a nice dood, I promise, and it's good to give credit where it's due!
If you'd like to buy me a beer, coffee, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)
Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)
Screenshots of Green version (via Dropbox album):

Select your desired colour to download:
PCB Sense Green (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Blue (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Orange (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Pink (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Purple (7.7mb)
Note: If you're downloading on a handheld browser and the file is saved with a '.bin' extension, simply rename it to '.apk'
if you like it...that's up to you!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
The modded wallpaper is originally from iTeppo (on deviantART) titled "Android Chip Wallpaper" (he did a great job!)
Looks great! Too bad I have a CDMA desire (no new sense love for us)

Heya retrosling, if you mean when you are in the "Phone" app, then yes, some images may not be fully skinned, but this is a limitation of the HTC Sense Skin .apk format itself. Note that there are no flashable .zips needed to use this theme, and that should allow it to be installed on multiple devices (with Sense 2.1 of course).
To skin many other components means that I would have to build a flashable .zip which modifies 'framework-res.apk', 'com.htc.resources.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', and since these are based on certain ROMs, and can therefore be unique, I chose not to go that route for this theme (the logistics/maintenance of handling all bases/versions/ROM-specific customizations for these 3 .apks would be a nightmare of time consumption!)
Believe me, that I skinned nearly every single PNG that would allow it. The only ones missing (for now) would be for landscape support. Once we start getting more GingerSense ROMs with landscape homescreens, I will be adding them though. Good thing for updating is that you'd just have to re-download the .apk (same exact link/filename), and the .XML file defines that it's a newer version, then your phone should ask you if you want to update it. Super clean this .apk Skin route.
To everyone else who offered your great comments/feedback, thank you very much!! It's great to see others enjoying the benefits of the hard work it took to put together this theme!
All the best.
Just tried this on Robocik's v1.2 a2sd cm7 hboot and it does not seem to work.
Have I missed something?
Amazing.
I will say that I have allways found the backdrops you pick very distracting and make the icons hard to see, but then I am addicted to the glactic core live wallpaper - you should try it with the pcb sense - it really ties the screen theme together!
One thing I miss from the old PCB theme is the green circuit board buttons, but then I am sure I will get used to this... (see attached for what I mean)
perhaps an option in the future?
Again, Thanks!!!
Warmly, Marty

Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?
Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.
Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work

Thanks Marty, this one was for you Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly
I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).
Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...
@scar45
Just checked again and it had loaded ok.
Must have been impatient first time.
Looks really cool with great detailing.
Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.
Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.
I will feedback any problems.
Thanks for your reply

Hey Scar,
Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)
and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -
It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.
So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -
You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.
Warmly, Marty
ps: I will be making a donation in the next week or so, but don't let that influence you in any way.. (ie its not a bribe - you bloody deserve it!) HOWEVER please don't spend it on smokes mate - I have lost both parents to cancer a few years ago, and we just buried my partners mother who also died last week from lung cancer. - only telling you this cause I care ok!

Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.
I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know )

Sorry to be unclear.
I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.
Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.

Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?
Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.
Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.

****for dak181's mods, go to his section four posts down****
This is a full theme that's ambition is simple; turning all instances of color thru-out the entire ROM, including many common user apps, to various shades of blue. This project will be on-going; as I get better at theming so will the theme get better. I make no claims of complete originality, as some images have been swyped from other themes (if u see ur work, please claim it so that i can credit or pull it) That said, most work is my own (in as much as modifications of someone else's work -HTC's- can be called ones "own" ) I also need to thank Gunthermic, whom I continue to bug daily with my incessant questions, lol. Thnks gun! Also can't forget about TommyTomatoe, whom has helped me tremendously in the last two weeks. (Thnx to him I can again edit .9.png's, and xml's as well) Also bad4u6669, he's also helped me on many occasions (actually this theme is kinda inspired by bad4u's work on Epidemic ....thnks bro!) .. ***Edit: thnx to bad4u6669 I am now able to theme all of Sense (.....as long as he keeps building my mods, lol!) ...and last but not least a special Thnx to McLabia for giving me a hassle free place to host and advertise my work. I am very, very grateful brother!

tommytomatoe- (constant advice and patience. Special Thnx for your great theming tool; 'android Utility')
McLabia- (Server provision, always super helpful and patient ...in a MC kinda way, lol)

Heads up this installs and everything seems to work on 8-12 build of synergy aside from HTC calender widget it seems to have nuked it entirely lol.
I installed the stock battery version.
CANNOT wait for that sexy drop down.
Any luck doing the menus? Like when hitting menu from homescreen and other menus like for gmail?

Lol, cool, at least its just the calender. I'll look at it in a bit.
Yeah, I'm at a stand-still with that dropdown. I'm just waiting for some bright idea ....or gunthermic to figure out. I gotta talk to him again.
Wut about the 'menu's? U mean the getting all the icons to match? That's proven to be one of the more challenging things. I've themed all those icons that those should be drawing from.... Ima take another look tonight. I'll definitely get them. Just takes time ....it bugs me too. I think its just this new Sense. I'll ask gun.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Or do u mean inverting them like the I plan to do w/ the dropdown? Cuz that's actually next!
That's why I haven't been working hard to make all those icons match. They'll need changed anyway for the dark bg ....coarse I plan on doing two versions of those ......like most things so I'll havta to both anyway
.....yeah, I still got a TON of work to do!
Haha I can only imagine the work involved, i'm sure its quite intense.
I was referring to when you hit menu and all apps, notifications, personalize, wallpaper, ringtones and settings comes up in the little "6 spaced grid".
Sorry probably have terminology all wrong ! Either way I know it takes time, just excited about what's to come because this adds alot of class to this already nicely themed wrong already on 1st revision.
BTW I tried messing with both htc calender widget apk's and couldn't get it to work again.
Not that I know much beyond moving things to system/apps and changing permissions lol.
That looks Stoopd SECXEE Bruh..More Blue w/icons, Contacts and Dialer pad would be ideal.

Try pulling 'Calendar.apk' from the theme zip and reflash. U won't notice a difference without that one anyway. Just put on ur desktop, open with 7zip, go to /system/app/Calendar.apk and delete.
If that doesn't work ...or u just don't feel like it, I'll have an update soon. By morning prolly
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
U can also delete 'htccalendarwidgets.apk' and possibly HtcProfileWidgets.apk without noticing a diff. I'll put updated versions into the next update
I'd try deleting the first two calendar APKs first, but like i said, ill be doing that ltr tonight or this morning.
If u just delete Calendar.apk and report bak ull potentially save me a bunch of work ....but I know it sux waiting thru whole that flashing so if u just wanna wait, that's cool too

Thnx bro. Yeah I've got some other things slated first ...like finding all instances of green, orange, etc. and eradicating it, lol ...then just getting all buttons and highlights smooth like the one in the dropdown. Then I gotta touch sum more widgets
.....and finally, I'll be doing variations on the theme, with one being sumthing very similar to wut u suggest ...just remind me down the road. But in general, yeah more blue is on the way

Yes, I know 'where' u mean. I'm sorry, I don't understand 'what' u want done.
I'll say this: I plan on making both a dark and light version ....also one with blue highlights; dark or light, I haven't decided ...maybe both. I also may make completely different icons rather than modify the existing ones.
If u guys can be more specific as to what u'd like to see in the theme, then I could better accommodate u.
If u all are something u like in another theme that u'd like to see here, please try to provide screenshots or links so that I see exactly wut u mean. I can't say whether I'll use it or whether it'll be exactly the same. I like to make things my own, but I'm also not one for changing sumthin just to be different either. If there's no room for improvement, then I'll keep it as-is.
And if anyone has work that they've done that they think would look good here, please post it and I'll see about incorporating it or atleast adding as an add-on
Just something darker really, I love the black menu from cm7 and from DH, it doesnt have to be black though.
As far as the calender widget I think I already tried everything I could do apk wise in an attempt to fix it. It's no biggy though man, I can wait

No, I just fixed it ....hold on a min, I don't like the color tho. I'll post it in about 45mins
It's just a new 3d cal, that's all
See here its up n workin:
I'm decompiling now so I can change some xml's to get it all blue. Either the red in the calender picture up top is controlled by an xml or its not in the apk ...either way, I'll get the little bastard
