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.

its one thing for a dev who makes us awsome ROM's and kernels, or themes they create them selves, hey they deserve it. but to ask for a donation for something you ripped off from some one else?? duche bag.

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

so what does GRAOHIC mean then

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.

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!
I dont care if this gets erased but I cant take it any more people using my graphics and not paying respect to who made it. I have had a week of seeing my rom get ripped and look in this section and everyone is using my stuff and not giving credit I dont mind but put from who and where you got it.
XDA you need to check this crap its really not fare,oh and I dont make this for others to make themes get donations and credit for my work.
Again?
I fully understand your reasoning behind wanting credit.
However, it's not really the responsibility of XDA to patrol themes and see who is using who's graphics. My theme was originally a cobble of lots of other people's designs....and I made sure you (and the other devs) got the credit you all deserved. However, some of the images I grabbed from each person may have come from others - and sometimes did. A polite PM or post in my thread, and I made sure they were given due.
That's all it requires. I'm sure no one is "stealing" your work and not putting your name out of malice. Just post a polite message, or send a PM. This is an open development community. These things happen. Newbies have to get used to the scene - like we all did when we first started.
Its not the fact that people use man but themers are getting stuff and paying credit to the theme they got it from and in a nut shell its from me. I am not not that but my work takes hours after hours and copy and paste takes a few min to do its a slap in the face but you know what if people want to come up that way its cool. I cant even believe this s#it so its not xda prob that they have themes and roms that are hacked off peoples hard work and putting out bunk.

I believe there are at least a few of us on here that use our own work, and otherwise are certain to give credit. I for one have not used one thing from your theme (though it was always a favorite of mine).

manup you know where i stand on this.it is especially a slap in the face when it is going on in the same forum.i am all for sharing and like to see my work in others themes all i ask is some credit for it . i started this same topic some time ago.manup remember this post . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3264695&postcount=12 quote: Open the thread most of the themes contain parts of other themes,I know cause I can see my work all over but that does not matter. Hey guys I also say anything I have done as far as themes can be used with out giving me credit or permission if you want to give credit that would be better but its cool with me either way.
Its not like google or T-Mobile even gave permission to do this lol....I love forum.
I wont do that and put half the people on blast but people are thanking people for stuff that the other themes took from me lol....Its all good when I get mad I do graphics guys but its not a prob of the work again its just man a lot of my stuff takes hours to make or come up with so proper respect and thanks should be mixed in the time took to copy and paste.

stupid htc should stop letting people get ahold of their images.
Pretty much most of the themes we see are just mashups. Copy and pasting bits and pieces from one theme to another to make it look like something original. I'm guilty of that myself (especially with little things like check boxes). I always try to give credit though because for the most part I just make them for myself and then post them here for anyone who likes it to use, not to get credits to boost my ego. For the rippers that do, shame on you and give the man credit. If you can remember to give Sterricson credit for starting it, and still give JF credits, you can remember to give Manup and thumb up. Hell, I owe him plenty just for inspiring me.

I understand, man. But Enoch started as mostly Copy/Paste from Oreo by brandenk with clock/widget graphics by yourself and Ted417, and status icons by MOONSSPOON. Over time, I learned how to develop my own images, edit .9.pngs and xml files, and the inner workings of the SDK.
However, your original point still stands. In the OSS community, credit is important.
i use a few of your graphics and am very appreciative, i however make sure to say that i take no credit on my theme work, just credit for the compilation of the graphics into one theme

When i first posted about the respective theme in the corresponding thread
I said if i used things from somewhere else and i dont take credit for X,Y,Z
Y'all should just make a theme team, join forces and all work together on themes as a single unit. Make a name for the unit/team then life will be much easier. Credit will just goto the team and no one has to worry about credit etc. All of y'all especially you manup got mad skills with this theming/rom thing. I hear you completely but being humble is a virtue of a true leader. Personally if I saw parts of my creations (i ain't got none ...i'm just sayin') in other's work, I would feel honored and almost get tingles inside on some "look at my children blossom" lmao. either way just my 2 cents

Sorry wrong face expression
It is very simple to find the launcher images that would need to be found and replaced.
Some many be familiar here, but last year I did all 32 NFL teams as full themes. After a while they became to hard to maintain, most were updated as far as donut, most to metamorph, but I have all the files. This is my offer if anyone wants to pick them up at all, even if just your team, let me know. Figure rather then let them go to waste.
All the colors are done, so you could even use this to help you put together other teams.
An example of some of the screens:
If you view the album, there are screens for all 32 teams, widgets, boot, and icons. the widgets and some parts I believe I still have all the .9's for also, in case you wanted to redo anything.

When you are done, if you post it, drop a link here so I can see what you have for a final product. And if you look to do more, hit up my site and take a look at the theme guide.
Just an FYI, someone on the CM forums has volunteered to do the 49ers, and another for Bears, and someone is going to work on the Dolphins and Ravens on twitter. Ill try and keep track of them all so everyone can see.

Sorry all I've been busy, I promise I will get the link up that has all the files this week (I will try to find them all tonight). This way you all can have at it.
Wow I have a horrible memory about doing things. Everything I had I put here http://www.jbthemes.com//G1MMThemes/G1ThemeBackup/NFLTeams
The ones that were done way back are here http://www.jbthemes.com/G1MMThemes/NFL
And there is more stuff http://www.jbthemes.com/downloads/root_themes/metamorph
There is crap all over the place. I reused colors as much as possible, so if I file is missing some parts, that means its in with a team that was the same color scheme.
Sorry for the delay. But between those links, that should contain everything (minus the icons I did for the Open Home themes, if you want those PM me)
Love the themes ... Steelers for G1 / Cyanogen 5.0.8 .. or MM ???
I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.

Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere.

perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102755
and I was wondering if anybody was up to porting it to ComROM 2.0
I understand it is a CM7 theme being ported to a TouchWiz based ROM but it can still be done.
Anyways, if nobody is up to it, it isn't a huge deal. I may be the only one who wants it but I would appreciate it if somebody tried.
Thats really nice. If no other themer wants to do it, I guess I can try, It will give me something to do, I never had cm7 or played with it so I dont know how similar it is to non cm7. Ill try though.
Edit: Just looked thru the hdpi, every file has a different name, this will take forever to do. Sorry. ;P Im too lazy to change every single .png to match ours

Nicee, good man. Im sure you can find someone to take on this theme.

I could definitely do it, but Im way to lazy to change every png. This seems like something nitsuj would do, This is a basic miui theme, and he does have miuiwiz so he would know how to do this more than me. It is nice though.
