i guess...get down on your knees and pray for one you like...lol...or post your suggestions of what you would like to see in a theme.

Well I have said in my thread for blinded by faith that says I am open to suggestions and feedback. So if you got any ideas just let me know and I would be more than willing to try to work people's ideas in

Make your own theme: *MOD EDIT* We aren't here to promote other sites.
Edit: PM me if you want to know how to make your own theme and you cant find the info

Lets not promote other sites guys, especially when the appropriate content is already on XDA. I understand referring someone elsewhere when the content is not available on XDA, but when it is available on XDA we need to be referencing that content unless its outdated and not viable any longer.

well then...opasha's theme isnt on xda......
@ OP, if you want to see opasha's theme, its located here: http://androidoverdrive.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=72

lol
If I knew how to make them this thread wouldn't exist is it just me or are most of these themes made are meant for the adp phone just seems that most of the themes out there are made for the dark g1's.The only themes in my opinion for the white g1 is the alienaqua theme from prash an the plastic theme

Yeah, I have also seen themers come and go. We should encourage them(*cough* donation *cough*). And plus if you already like the theme try to make it better by posting your comment on the theme. Critize the theme. The more ideas you give the better it is for that themer and for that theme. You should check out my thread on final fantasy 7 on xda and on my site mk47.weebly.com for previews to my theme. My site also starting to have font for any rom and theme from my thread. Just check it out and post ideas on other themers thread.

A lot of the themes are terrible. Enoch has the best theme. The rest are ugly, cluttered, or immature.
We are just now starting to see decent minimal themes

i really want to see more unique themes. off the wall ****. and PROFESSIONAL looking artwork done on them. tired of all these amateur themes with terrible photoshop work. but thats my opinion. i love a lot of them at the same time =]

You should help out in the theme making process( not trying to put on a stop). Help with finding a template if you have a great idea tell us themers or post a request. Try to find good artwork and we themers will try to work on it. Like for example systemforce was orginally another artist work but prash liked the idea and used it. Now look at it people were going crazy over that theme ( like I did). I'll see what I could do to hellp you guys out. I am too looking for a cool theme. A user wants me to make systemforce to blue and white. I thought about it and I am starting to customize the theme.

video
I wish someone can make a video on youtube on how to do this I would have no problem making themes I enjoy the features that most of them give.Plus I understand how people feel an the themers feel.I think that most of these themes are just clones of one another with things switched around but @ the end of the day they do this for us.

I can understand not making as many themes right now because CM is releasing new builds all the time,but I sure wish more people would release themes for dwang 1.13,this rom is amazingly fast and stable.

i would make themes for that rom, but i don't like it because i can't adb push my apps to the /system/sd/app the way i can on cyanongen's rom. this is because i wipe my data and my ext before switching from cyan's to dwang's and that's the problem i ran into. i could push them to /data/app but that is on internal memory and that's bad. if someone could PM me on how to fix this issue, i'd gladly switch over to that rom and makes themes for it .

To add to that, try Metamorph. It lets you theme your phone with bits and pieces you would like.....especially if you like white themes. More and more themers are adding their bits so soon we will be able to make our own themes without the knowledge of how to produce them!

nevermind fixed my ext to have the push work . ill try and port themes to dwang soon.

[THEME] Meclairo v1.4.6 based off CHM_BinaryRelease (A mashup with flavor)

Gonna be adding cacheinjection's Music Beautification when Cyanogen pushes the next update. Unless Cyanogen does it for me...
I take no responsibility for any problems that occur. I take what works and put it with something else that works...

How to?
best way to add this in my opinion is over Binary100100's Community Hero Mix
With that said, it's more like an add on to Binary's already crazy cool theme.
You can apply it as a standalone theme, but at this point in time, don't...
So in other words,
1.Backup
2.flash CM-4215_CHM_BinaryRelease+---Launch.zip (v1.8) (if you don't already have it)
3.flash Meclairo+___Launch+Lockscreen.zip
reboot and enjoy!
I have confirmed myself that this works on cm 4.2.15.1 !!! Other ROMs could apply. Like stated above, theme is based off Binary100100's Community Hero Mixso please be a labrat.
Confirm and report...
Meclairo with Regular Launcher

Ok so I have been crackin out on this for the past little while and I want to share the wealth with everyone else. This couldn't have been done if it wasn't for all you out there who helped me. This is a mashup of Binary100100's CHM+Steiricsson Lockscreen and many others that I found. Icons came from the web from an open source project.
Being that I don't pay attention to names around here, credit goes to this guy and who ever else wants to chime in,

Once again, thank you for all the help and thank you to all the devs and themers out there for the great material to work upon!!
After reading the thread Super E (if you're not aware of it, don't worry), it came to my attention that there are a select few of us (mainly one, as of now...) who "steal" the work from others and claim it as their own. I for one, think this is wrong. I like to give credit to those who deserve it but I must confess, sometimes I don't know where the credit needs to be given.
I'm still new to the xda forums. About a month long member as of 2-5-10.
The quote above was not placed to make this guy look bad. It was placed to remind me of who he is. So for all you haters out there and wrecking crew, don't bash cause that wasn't my intentions.
But as another member mentioned, and I don't remember his name...
Open source is about no one "owning" the work.....We all should thank HTC and Google
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With that in mind, we need to come to an understanding that ALL themes and ALL ROMs have some shared values. Rather it be the compile that the guys in the Super E thread were speaking of while bashing Ben accusing him of never making anything of his own or the man above telling me to credit his dial pad while I use it.
In my opinion, none of this matters with an open source platform such as Android and Linux. If it's out there and you know how to customize it to your pleasing, by all means do so cause I would love to see what the next guy comes up with on top of what I already had. As said once, if it weren't for the man coming along and picking up where the last man left off/ if it weren't for the man coming along and improving upon what the last man left off, we'd still be in the dark ages...
So to some of you, ya. I guess I am a thief but I don't see it that way.
I see myself as a dev/theemer (whatever you wanna call me) from the open source platform of the future.
This will be the greatest platform if we devs/theemers would just squash the beef with the whole "you stole my ****" thing cause really, we're all stealing from someone.
Buy me a beer, Donate here...

Nice
Good work man - this is a beauty of a theme, just what i was looking for - the startup splash screen is genius!

I cant find the binary!!!!
I was trying to find the file for the binary release but i dont see it or can find it if you can email it to me or tell me where to get it my email is [email protected] thanks in advance...

Get CHM_BinaryRelease+RegLaunch 1.7 from the cm updater in the themes section.
Then apply it. After recovery has flashed it, don't reboot. Flash the heclairo.zip then reboot.
I have discovered that home+back reboots things more smoothly than trackball as well...

Just updated.
Ya, I know. Too soon.
Launcher has been themed...
HOLY CRAP!

Credit has been given bud.
Thanks for the skeleton to work on.
This theme is still taking it's own shape.
Learning as I go.
Not the same as Moto-Linux...

Just letting you all know that I have not forgotten about my theme.
I've been working on a few things and decided I WILL NOT put another update out until MAJOR changes happen. For example, 1.5 will consist of the menu images getting themed... (the menu button...)
Here's a little taste of what you can expect on the next update though...
Cha Boi
And remember, I'm still working on it so don't be coming up and gettin hify on me about stealing your stuff, or anyone's for that matter because we all share the same things around here...

I JUST DISCOVERED .9's!!!
I NOW KNOW HOW TO MAKE MY OWN!
So add that to the expectations of v1.5 of my theme.
It might take time though cause my pc parts are finally coming back from RMA and that rig has all my cool apps on it so I'll be able to make my own images and I don't want to throw out another update with something minuscule done to it.
1.5 WILL BE AN OVERHAUL OF THE EXISTING MECLAIRO BUT WILL STILL HOLD SOME TRAITS!!!
It won't be based off CHMbinaryrelease anymore but it will still be a good idea to flash that one before Meclairo.
STAY TUNED GUYS! IT'S ONLY GETTING BETTER!
Update - 2-19-2010
I got all my parts back from RMA yesterday and just finished rebuilding the beast tonight. Skeptical about the replacement cpu heatsink WITHOUT a fan but things seem to be running smoother than ever. And quite now which is a great plus.
Tomorrow, I will get the sdk and eclipse running and start crackin on the theme!

So I have heard that there will be a 15.1
Because of this news, I will wait until that comes out. Then I will wait a little longer but expect a v1.4.1 this weekend.
And sadly enough, some of my surprises will be spoiled. But not many.
LONG LIVE!
Update 3-7-10
I broke something. Can't get the icon background to appear on homescreen. Still working on it. Shooting for mid-monday. Need sleep first...

I put this off for far too long but here you go people.
V1.4.6 is out in the wild.
Refer to post #1

My thread was 10 pages back.
Gettin no love with it bein that far back so sorry for the double/triple post but you know...

Must have took a loooooooooong time to steal...... i mean create that

You really are taking the p*ss, take down this theme, permission was never given as near enough all of this work is mine except your status icons and your ability to change the hue of my work... I am fed up of PMing you!

First, I would just like to say that I do not condone 'theft' of work, nor do I approve of bastardising someone elses work and calling it your own.
I had NOTHING to do with this theme, so I'm a NEUTRAL party in all of this.
Stickman; It's been a long time coming, but it needs saying.
I think you're completely missing the whole concept and ethos of the Android community; It is about sharing and helping one another. It's not a competition or a battle between developers. Frankly, that kind of mentality isn't welcome around here.
I'd also like to say this:
Without naming ANY names, as I won't stoop down to your pitiful level, the Villain team have been hiding things within code & scripts for some time. A hell of a lot of our work has been "stolen" quite recently. Do you see us crying about it on the forum???
No.
Why's that? Because the Android community is all about sharing. I have PM'd those people requesting that credits are added to the first post - and that's all that needs to be done.
Let's spin this around full circle...
When you first arrived at this forum, as a themer (let's face it; that's what you are), you ported (read; copied PNGs) from Manup's theme into your ROM and added a little bit of your own design work.
Did Manup turn up telling you to take down the work you had STOLEN?
No.
What really gets to me about all of this, is that you have actually been thanked in the opening post. What a joke. You don't ever thank people in your post. WHY?
I have a theory.
You're a 21 year old with an attitude problem.
You're someone with a superiority complex, that is of the belief that the majority of this community are gullible idiots.
You feel no need to thank for work which you have "borrowed" from others. ( check the m5d checksum on your boot.img, compare it with VillainROM & possibly some other roms ).
In my opinion, and I really hope that matters around here after all the work I have put in... you are a disgrace to this community.
I risk getting myself banned for this post; but so be it.
I feel SO strongly about this. You really need to get real.
GET REAL to the fact that your ROMs are not in fact yours.
GET REAL to the fact that people will borrow your work and credit you from time to time.
GET REAL to the fact that you are not the heart and soul of this community.
GET REAL to the fact that you're a hypocrite. You've "stolen" work and not credited too.
Just get real.
No further discussion.

I was incorrect and misinformed

i can assure you that nathan has put a LOT more time in villain rom to make it work. the problem here is, that stickman regularly and violently complains about ppl not giving credit when using others (esp. his) work. then he goes out, uses parts of nathans rom and claims it as his own, without giving ANY credit at all. you think this is right?
btw, we have known about stickman copying from villainrom for a few days now, there woulnd't have been any blaming if he hadn't make a big fuzz about this theme...

It seems to me that far too much of the community here is stealing form someone else and calling it their own. Frankly it makes me sick that people have the audacity to post their rip offs and claim it to be a work of their own, but honestly what can one do? There's no need to get up in arms about it, like I've said once or twice before, just give credit where credit is due and be gracious when you get it.

that's what we are trying to achieve here...

Sorry for newbie question, but how exactly can i delete that system app with rosie lockscreen? i have villainrom 5.4, rooted (i hope), but file explorers say Error deleting file or HTCLockScreen.apk cannot be removed. Can someone help me or link me to relevant topic? Searching in G2's forum gives irelevant results... Please

3 main ways:
1. get a file browser that supports root, like "Root Explorer"
2. using adb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
adb shell reboot
3. search for "android commander" app on xda, it uses busybox to manipulate files on your phone from your PC via a usb cable.

Thanks a lot, it worked. But, I have another bottom bar as on your screen, is it ok or i did something wrong?

go over to villainrom and i'll help you there, too many flamers here. also, im updating the theme atm, should be out in a few hours.

im just a noobs...but i think your themes is exactly the same with sticky themes in senseHERO 2.1.... no offence and no flames

changing all green stuff to blue stuff is ridiculously easy, i have a script which does that, his lockscreen is from an official ROM (check SlideVillain and you'll see what im talking about), sensehero's sense bar original one was not his and he never asked permission for it from manup. And the status bar is no where near the same.

All I can say is that I totally understand and support your decision, as I know how do you feel right now. We are loosing a great developer (I don't care what other devs say/said, you are and always will be developer), but you should take care of yourself and think first what is good for you and your mental health :thumbup:
Nevertheless, again I would like to say BIG THANK YOU for all your work, ROMs, tweaks, your constant will to help users, your hard work with other developers...
I sincerely wish you all the best :beer:

Sad to hear this news,I have using Stefan's rom & kernel for very long time...Stefan is a very amazing developer IMO.

Well, since there is a thread about this now, I'll move my post from the offtopic...
Seeing Stefan leave XDA made it a very sad day for me, and I am sure for a lot of other people... I am not judging anyone in particular, and I do respect Stefan's decision (although I really hope he overreacted, and it's not final), but if what Stefan has been doing is "not proper for the community", then screw such community!
I am far from thinking that anyone would care much about what some noob has to say, but I am saying it anyway. This is so not cool, folks...

Too late, I am afraid... He confirmed it.

Wops, I just made a thread about almost the same. It took me a while to type everything! In that thread I want people to show their gratuity to Stefan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005303

Oh god why... Feeling little f**ked up now, IMO he was one of the best DEV's here
I totally understand his fustration about this: (I'm not going to tell who posted this to Stefan, everyone will find it out other ways)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Stefan your way of developing and communicating with other devs is not proper for XDA community
[...]
I highly encourage everyone to have proper git and well documented commits. If you dont do it, there arise two possibilities.
1. Either you dont know what the hell you are doing with sources OR
2. You are not a proper developer with xda spirit
------------------------------------------------------------
Let's think about whats wrong here?
1. I think everyone liked P990 ROMS/KERNELS that he does?
2. I think no-one get angry of his jokes about "P990-ICS leak hype"
3, Is there REALLY any P990 DEV that good and fast than he was?
4. If this is really so serious developent here, i think it's time for many many people to conside leaving this forum
We will be missing you Stefan

This might mean we won't get proper guesteOC tool support on ICS after p990 kernel sources are released :sadface:

No way!!
I can't beleive this! After silently reading in order not to ask noob questions, I never registered... Today I registered specially to thank Stefan for his great and noobproof work! Opening his thread about his Stock ics rom I was shocked!! IMHO Stefan along with Tony P make this community accessable to new people who want to know more about their device!
I think Harsh did a bit too much credit to his nickname!
So Stefan... I think you will be reading this... Thank you!!! And if you do reconsider... I will be looking forward to your posts!
By the way... I loved your work on the ICS stock Rom, but since yesterday I am now enjoying your 'Goodbye Rom' very much. It is indeed the best Rom I've used on my optimus 2x!! Too bad the name for that Rom is so appropriate!
goodbye!
A gratefull Noob

... and I don't think he'll reconsider... like he said, free development is supposed to be fun... if you're developping and helping for free and you have people complaining that you have to do stuff their way... why continue?
I know exactly how he feels... I'm also a developer and I constantly have the client complaining that I don't use the "right" identation, which means, I don't do identation the way they like it... but I'm paid! So I oblige. If I wasn't I would tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Damn, during nightshift reading this "sudden dead" of Stefans contribution to the users
I'am gonna mis his contribution
All devs working on kernels and roms should share experience and tricks to make better roms... either selfmade or "stolen" (open source and WWW search).
Credits should be made to sources when develope or use them PERIOD
Creating roms etc. means also administration for keeping the used sources and that alone could be a pain in the *ss and very time consuming so i understand devs or very advanced users who lost track on the sources he used during tweaking them.
That leaves less developers for us but there are still enough for making us happy and at the end ICS or JB wil come to our great phone.
Thanks Stefan x1000000

Harsh don't panic. In every phone section I was active on XDA such Santa Barbara soap opera element was present. It is just the way of human kind.

Original devs would be proud if you use their code in your kernel, they will not stop you to use their code in your kernel if it benefits end user. But proper documentation using commit is a good gesture of saying thank you. I know you get lots of donations, but did you ever share a donation with wkpark or other dev whose IDEAs you are using? Your words !!
So it al comes down to this you ain't getting a piece of all the donations he might have recieved from others??
Jealous?
Credits:
This ROM is the result of many great people (not only DEVs) helping and working together in making a sweet piece of P990 Stock ICS
So credits go to all people who contributed in the P990 Leaker thread
and also and especially to
wkpark
rmein -- he provided the base for this ROM!!

He even mentioned you ! so get a life and apologize to him big time. Your ICS workaround doesn't come close to what he achieved

Sorry but you are on the wrong track. It is not about mentioning in a thread. It is about mentioning in commits. That's a different story IMHO.

Well I am not against Stefan, it was just about his way of putting up sources. Why dont you guys understand.
It was never about ROM, it was about kernel Source only.
And I am never jealous about anything, I have even refused some of donations by PayPal not accepting. So keep this to yourself.
And I am not gonna apologize for something I did not do.

sorry,its only Kindergarden
he do tihis,he do this not,stupid

So much boybands they want to theme and port new roms...
We already got enough themed and ported rom, if you really want to help, ask biel, or drive to bradcomm and punch the sources out of their head...
or at least try to make a stable CM..but please in gods name, dont make boybands for theming/porting roms, it can be done by every use who got the force of reading..

not for theming nor porting,maybe building kernel
and making stockbased roms

Probably you are joking... But...
Its not ethical to joke the people who is trying to build something. As you see the rom you are building is a copycat of another rom even its another system you make it look like S3.
Beyond our kernel and CM developers all of us are copycats. We port roms already builded or themed them to look alike someother phone.
I dont want to start a fight in here but all of us want our phone gets better in some way. Lets dont block the way of people who tries something for our phone. We are not enemies here and we have to stick together to build something.
And for iamareebjamal we like your sarcaism, even you hit our head from wall to wall, you show us the right way even we are being a noob.
I am sorry if i offended anyone or wrote something wrong. And i am not a part of any team, only a member of XDA.

First of all , I was joking. Who is talking about my ROM ? Why you change topic ?
Me either. I don't want a fight. We are not enemies , i didn't said to him :" Why you created a TEAM ! Only i can do ! " I want to improve this device.
iamareebjamal ? Who is talking to him ? I don't see a post here , did he delete it ?

Yes, i know you are joking. My concern was to the word "Copycat". It may be nothing to you personally but for developers (in my time) was a heavy insulting. I irritiated for someone using that word, especially a Team Leader. Who is responsible what he/she said is stands for everyone in his/her team. Yes everyone has theirs opinion seperately but if you add your team in your signiture, you are responsible for them as well. And about iamareebjamal is in your team also as you stated in your signiture. I like him where he stands in this forum personally. And don't want to take his Lightning Bolt's to myself.
As i stated: I am sorry if i offended anyone or wrote something wrong. May be its my fault but a Team Leader must be carefull to which words he/she used.
Farewell my friend. Let the light guide your way...

I still dont get it...
A team for what? Development? Building kernels? Creating/Theming/Porting ROM'S? Creating Apps?
If you want to build kernels, i guess you take it way too easy.. it's not like "ah well, hiring a few members and creating and a new generation of ROMs with a own kernel and own stuff"..
We all waiting for a stable CM and it's finally going forward, but if it were that easy, why it took so long? bieltv.3 was away for a couple of time, yeah that's right, but it's still not easy to build a rom/kernel.
You have to learn all the stuff over YEARS and you need the endurance for keep learning, if you are motivated you got it at the first time, but after learning for an week or two, you getting tired and either you give up, take a break or you'll stop it.
It's not like "learning java and after an week im an programmer/developer".. NO! stop thinking that, if you learned all the stuff and you understand it, then you can go and learn the advanced knowledge, THEN you can "build" a "team"...
and sorry, but:
Basic android knowledge like what is a kernel,apk decompiling etc.
UOT kitchen knowledge
Follow me on twitter/add me as xda friend
Not needed,but good. Language knowledge
No nooby behavior in the team
Editing pngs
For this things i dont need a team.. reading around XDA and some tutorial around google and i can do this stuff for my own.
Simplicity, excalibur, ace i sure, miui, etc. - all those guys didnt need a whole team, they've read around the forum/google, maybe asked some guys with better knowledge and then they created their rom's.
You remember this guy? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182364
He said something about he'll make a own kernel and a good rom etc. bla.. i said "crap".. and now? no one remember him
So whatever, we dont need a TEAM for porting/theming rom's, use your knowledge to solve bugs on your own rom's and everything is fine

I'm also searching for some members to create some custom ROM based on 4.2.2 version. For now i'm a searching resources like images launcher icons etc...if someone is interested PM.

team kriztal has changed it's name to TEAM PLETHORA........
I again repeat team kriztal =TEAM PLETHORA..

Basic android knowledge like what is a kernel,apk decompiling etc.--Yes
UOT kitchen knowledge--Yes
Follow me on twitter/add me as xda friend--Yes
Not needed,but good. Language knowledge--Yes
No nooby behavior in the team--Yes

Is the copyright stuff bothering you in anyway ???
And yeah i know i long my team will exist,no need to worry about it....
Oooh !! You wanna see my first rom..huh !! ok you see it soon,no problem about it..you are soo must interested in my first rom..then what about your first rom.
You didn't port any theme nor created any custom rom..you talk as if you created something..
You just wander from thread to another thread and post useless stuff...
You are thinking you are great , but please don't think so...
"i smell some poo poo here"
This is what you said in a custom rom (peanut butter) thread..
Oh yes , you are absolutely right..wherever you post , we smell poo poo there..you are the actual poo poo guy..
" whole 13 tweaks , who is gonna know which is best..not even a thanks for it..you just take all the stuff and put it in Aroma installer and your thanks greed increase.!! "
Is that so, lady !!...ok then why don't you create a mod based Aroma ,as you think its just an drag and drop stuff. Oh sorry,i just forgot that you are a NOOB...so unfortunately you can't even do drag and drop stuff..
You said many other stuff in my A-MODS thread,but i got it cleared because i don't want your poo poo smell in my thread..
You acting as if we are developing mods and stuff to you..let me remind you one thing , you are just another noob, trying to be a newbie...please don't be a noob..
And this ain't any flaming,i am just making him realize about stuff he has done..
I don't wanna drag this stuff much..i am neither creating a flaming nor offencing stuff here....so kewkie i wanna say is that please don't post this kind of stuff..it is going to take you no where,and you are just proving that you are FATHER OF NOOB's ...
This type of attitude proves that you have an attitude of HITLER.....bloody nazi's..
