{REQ} Starcraft theme - Android Themes

Icons and sounds included would be great
along with boot/off animation ^_^

stumbled on an old StarCraft 2 theme on another forum. However it's an outdated zip theme. trying to work on it & see if i can rebuild to an mtz theme (yes, i've already tried the copy-over & rename extension trick, didn't work). starting with a blank template to see if i can reuse as much as possible.

[Metamorph] Kawaz Advanced Launcher : 6 mods and 5 wallpapers inside (23.12.2009)

What is it ?
This is just two simple themed Advanced Launcher I use on my 32B with cyanogen 4.2.8.1 and Darkstar theme.
This is a metamorph mod, not an update.
As this is the first release, there's perhaps some bugs.
If someone want to use it in a theme, there's no problem, just let me know
Instructions :
Download
Standard version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_AL.zip
White version : http://android-stock-theme.googlecode.com/files/Kawaz_white_AL.zip
Arrow version : http://www.box.net/shared/85y0qqv2jc
Cube version : http://www.box.net/shared/z40q1dselg
Grey version : http://www.box.net/shared/lmnx20f08s
Hollow version : http://www.box.net/shared/6sdg95pnd3
And use it in Metamorph app (> 1.7). If you don't have yet Advanced Launcher, Metamorph will install it.
I think it can be used on any rom wich can use Advanced Launcher.
Thanks to :
Cachinjection for the initial Darkstar concept,
Feekyfrogy for the Darkstar theme from wich my mod is based on (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Bahnburner who has metamorphed Darkstar launcher (tell me if you don't want I use some of your work),
Djengizz who motivated me unknowingly by sharing metamorphs and for hosting ,
Stericson for his awesome MetaMorph app,
Benjigarner for folder icons (http://benjigarner.deviantart.com/),
Siristhius for trash icon in white version (http://siristhius.deviantart.com/art/Trash-bin-icon-95130312),
And XDA in general

didn't work for me as well. I'm guessin' it's 'cuz of the update script. Said something was missing, thus making the addition/theme invalid. Looks great though! Can't wait to use it. Good job!
Its for MetaMorph, not a flash.
Good work man

Yeah..i didn't try to flash it. I used Metamorph, but it didn't work for me. Anyone have better luck? I just downloaded the zip to the root of my sdcard, then opened metamorph, picked the zip from the AndExplorer list from pick theme', but it gave me an error message.
I just looked at it,
The zip file and .thm file should have the same name
also
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.cpy
/system/app/
AdvancedLauncher.apk
/system/app/
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here. The advanced launcher is still the Launcher.apk and the drawables are still the same. Just get rid of that Launcher folder, rename the AdvancedLauncher to just Launcher and the .thm file just needs to be
Code:
CM
4.2.8
Launcher.apk
/system/app/
For MetaMorph to work, the folder needs to be the exact name that the apk is.
oh, and by the way, for those of you who couldn't find the wallpaper he was talking about when they went to that site, just type in 'bamboo zen' when you go to the wallpaper link in the OP and you'll see it. It should be the first one. There's also an inverse one of it which looks pretty snazzy as well.
kool good to see some more darkstar offshoots, hope my next theme inspires such themeing projects.
just a quick one, i personally think that the the background image for the app draw chould do with some refining.
have fun yall

Hi,
Don't know why it doesn't work for everyone...
I'm using Metamoph 1.8.1. I just put the zip in /SDCARD/AndroidThemes/ (as Stericson said in his OP).
@Eessel : exact thanks.
@Jairomeo : zip and thm have the same name (it works on my phone)
I'm not exactly sure what i am trying to do in the .thm. I've just take the metamorph zip from Bahnburner's Darkstar Advanced Launcher and modify some pictures.
The metamorph install Advanced Launcher (with Launcher.cpy subtheme i think)and then themed it (with AdvancedLauncher.apk i think).
As it works for me i hope it can works for every one.
After the first time i use this metamorph, Avanced Launcher was successfully installed and i just have to apply AdvancedLauncher.apk subtheme, not Launcher.cpy.
I've just done a test :
update to cyan 4.2.9.1 -> return to standard cyan launcher
apply kawaz_white metamorph -> advanced launcher is installed and themed...
@cacheinjection : yes, i agree. I've try a semi-transparent image, but have some bugs with it. Perhaps in next version if i found a solution.
Thanks all for comments.
Finally, is there someone use it with success ?
OK !! I anderstand what happend !
I've try to re-download my mod and have seen that my host rename it !
So, i'm going to update the OP with that :
you should rename the donloaded file :
Kawaz_AL.zip for the standard mod
Kawaz_white_AL.zip for the white mod
Sorry for that.
Hello,
When I use a semi-transparent background for menu, i've a bug :
Normal :
With bug :
Icons are in double or triple...
Anybody knows why ?
anyone get this to work with Metamorph 1.7? I am having the same error...
Ive updated to last metamorph (1.8.1) and still having the error message ("id file could not be read or is missing ..").
I've tried with both black and white version, downloaded the files twice nothing work.
And that's a shame, this launcher look real damn good.
Im running Dwang 1.5, with metamorphed theme mainly borrowing to dark star.
Dont know what Im missing, if anybody does, please let me know
Have you rename the downloaded file as i add in the first post ?
Hi,
New mirror added to the first post. You did'nt have to rename files with it.
Thanks a lot Djengizz !
Please let me know if somebody can use those mods now.
Is there any way to use this skin on the home screen only? I just can't bear to go back to three screens (which is what Advanced Launcher does to my baby).

[Morph] Black And Green for Dwang v1.17.1

This started out as just a clean and tidy black status bar mod for my own personal use with Dwang's ROM v1.17.1. I wasn't happy with all the black themes out there so I made my own, then decided to get rid of all the gross default orange as well. I ended up putting a bit of effort into it so I thought I'd share it here.
It contains a new boot screen and transparent Eclair launcher tabs by me, as well as various edits of existing images from around the place. I've run everything possible through optipng to keep your phone speedy fast.
I used parts of DBeCe's negrodwang, AndroidFiend's Black Bar, Pay's Black Elegance, cybapaddy's Black Paddy, Ace42's Espresso, xxmonsterx's xxandroidx, bbuchacher's Super D Black and djengizz theme templates so many thanks to all those people for their work. Big appreciation also to Stericson for his MetaMorph app, Ohsaka for his colorChange.jar app, Danation for his thm/xml converter and xenio2000 for making sense of ninepatch (.9.png) files.
Let me know what you think!
BlackAndGreen.zip (1.22Mb) - v2 - http://www.mediafire.com/?fgjwaednmgg
This file is for the old version of MetaMorph which takes THM files. Here's a new XML file - http://jetsons.pastebin.com/8B98y4gH
You'll need Stericson's MetaMorph to apply this theme!
Changelog:
r2 - I'd accidentally left ticker text black. Fixed.
r1 - Initial release
Todo:
- Make the Search box outline green (textbox_search*.9.png)
- Make the orange status bars green (how?)
Modifications:
EternalSoil's gChrome Green Launcher - made to suit this theme
Also the wallpaper in the screenshots is by me. If you'd like it, here it is:
Looks good. Thanks!
Hi Jamie,
Quite glad to see that someone is still working on theming Dwang's - will give it a go, it looks preety cool! Thanks for sharing!
Installing the theme
Hey, how do you install the theme?
I changed the name of the zip file to update and tried to update the image, but it gave me the following error:
E: No signature (580 files)
E: Verification failed
Am I doing the right thing?

This is a Morph, not an update.zip. You need Stericson's Metamorph app as linked above. He's updated the paid version since I released this theme, so now the theme works with the free version.
Hey!
Love this morph! Went just fine on Dwang 1.17.1 and I wish more people did morphs for dwang.
Any chance you would be making other colors?
I decided I didn't like the standard looking launcher tab so I edited AndroidFiend's gChromeRed launcher to be green to go with this theme you made.
I have uploaded it for you to try. Just apply it with MetaMorph on top of the BlackAndGreen.
His red version is HERE
This is also my first time editing any morphs.
Of course the credit goes to AndroidFiend (who was helped by Djengizz)
All I did was change the color.
Thanks
I probably won't do other colors unless there's a massive demand for it. It's easy enough to do anyway, just time consuming. If anyone wants to have a go at it then by all means feel free to use the base I've made.
Cool work on your Launcher mod. I'll add it to the OP
I was going to try and edit it to make it a different color but the .png files are not in rgb, which makes it a long long process to change it from the green. I'm just using GIMP to edit it. Do you know of a quick way to change it?
EDIT:
Figured out it's actually pretty easy. So I'm in the process of changing a bunch.
If anyone's still interested in using this with the newer MetaMorph, I've converted the THM file to XML and chucked a pastebin link in the first post.

[HOW-TO] port he_stheone64 Themes - a Goodbye to DHD Forum

HOW-TO port he`stheone64 Themes
Since my new Galaxy Nexus arrives next week, I just wanted to say goodbye to a fantastic community right in time and offer the opportunity to keep my DHD Themes alive and updated by fellow users, while I`m "retired"
My Themes have been ported to a lot of other HTC devices during the last months, which makes me very proud. Anyway most of you will still use the DHD for about a year and some Themes like Honey HD, Revolution or Ice HD have a really large and loyal user base, who would surely appreciate using their favorite Theme until they switch to a new device.
I will post a HOW-TO in this Thread and would also like to appoint 1 guy responsible for each Theme (Elegant Blues, Code Red and Indian Summer will not be continued, let`s just focus on Themes, which are ready for Sense 3.5), who will then maintain a Theme of their choice. Since the main job is done, it`s not very compilcated to update them going forward (especially if focusing on only one), at least until ICS arrives (if...). Guys who are interested should at least know how to compile and have a little modding experience.
This will NOT be a general theming guide, it`s strictly limited to the tools and processes you need to port my themes to a new platform. Good news - this will help you porting Themes from other devices to DHD and add a little learning experience for some (future) Themers and modders
I also restrict this to the essentials, since really complex stuff like inverting Facebook, Google+ or invert menu`s would just be way to much coding, been there, done that...

My fellow Themers - we all had a steady communication channel and I was pleased to help and also grateful, when I got help
daneshm for Theme Porter & apkmanager
brut for apktool
pendo for compiling latest apktool
Tools:
apkmanager and / or apktool for decompiling apk`s and jar files
Theme Porter for batch updating pngs
SDK incl. tools
Photoshop and / or Gimp
PNGGauntlet in case you want to compress pngs
Winmerge to compare individual files
Kdiff3 to compare full ROM`s
multiupload.com - since it`s easy to download for users and you can track downloads
zipalign batch script - comes in very handy when updating full Themes
Preparation:
Copy latest apktool compiled by fernando (1.43) in OTHER folder of apkmanager or use it to directly compile. It´s compiled with latest SDK 14 and smali / baksmali sources and will work better with Sense 3.5 (and ICS) files as official version. Do the same also with latest aapt.exe and zipalign.exe from SDK.
Modded ICS apktool.jar - http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/17
zipalign batch script - http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/10
Unpack Theme porter to a location of your choice - http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/9
Unpack zipalign script and you may update the zipalign.exe with latest version from SDK
Download Winmerge and KDiff3 and install
Comparing ROM`s
Download current ROM and new ROM update
Extract both ROM`s
Open KDiff3 and select both folders (not file) and compare
KDiff3 will show you all files, that have been changed since latest update
Now you know which files you need to update (worst case ALL )
Tools
In this folder you find some of the tools I use frequently:
http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/
Files to port:
ALL which are part of my current Themes
Download my latest Theme and copy (don`t move - you need the themed png`s later to push them back to edited files) all apps in NEW app folder of THEME PORTER and framework files in NEW framework folder of THEME PORTER.
Now copy the same files of stock ROM in OLD folders of app and framework of THEME PORTER and hit the .bat. This will transfer stock pngs to the Theme and ensure, you don`t get compile errors later.
Now decompile only the following apk and do the same with apk`s from THE SAME stock ROM.
Then diff the apk`s I posted here in Winmerge (focus on xml I post here, also see "comparing files") and you`ll see all my edits.
Now edit all xml accordingly inside Winmerge. When you are ready delete all saved .bak files and compile.
Now use THEME PORTER to push the pngs from my old Theme to the new compiled apk´s and all other Theme apk´s.
Zipalign all apk`s and pack zipaligned stuff in my empty update.zip (which you can rename) and flash - zipalign script, just unpack zip, put all apk`s in this folder and hit the .bat
Comparing files
Decompile old and new changed file
Open Winmerge and select both decompiled folders and compare
Winmerge will show you all edits, that have been changed since latest update
Now you can edit inside Winmerge and update Code changes from Theme to the new file and compile
Once you`re done with all new files, follow the guide above
IMPORTANT: HTC does change a lot for nearly every base, so in 99% of the cases you will then need to trouble shoot since some layout files or styles do lead to other pngs then before, so you need to check carefully and then find out what you need to adjust.
Files to decompile and compare:

Thank you so much for your awesome work, I learned a lot from you in the past months! Have fun with your new phone
nooooooooooo a good member in this DHD forum will go... :'(((
wish u all the best
We will really miss you!
So if you're moving to Galaxy Nexus, I will have motivation to start learning about android a bit more .
I wish you next great themes .
Hate to see you go. But thanks for all the help you have given me. And all the knowledge you have shared with this community.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
so there will be no ice hd theme for sense3.0? =(
Massive thanks for all you have done for us mate and good luck with your new device.
You will be sorely missed though hopefully you have now taught us enough that we can keep our phones looking so classy .
a sad day
many thanks for your work, without your modifying our DHD will no longer be the same
godspeed and have fun with new Galaxy Nexus
Sad news, though not really a surprise after your recent posts. But it says everything that, even when you're planning to move to a new device, you take the time to help others carry on your themes and update them to new ROM versions. Thank you so much for this guide, and of course for all of your beautiful themes, hard work and especially your patience with our questions. I learnt a lot, and I'm sure many others did too.
I hope you enjoy your new phone as much as we've enjoyed having your themes on our DHDs. And that you're inspired to improve it and create something equally amazing on it to share with others.
Laters, honey hd...by far the greatest theme on dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks for your great themes!! You're the best! Much fun with the Nexus.
Will you develop the Phone too or only 'use' it?

Cheers for the stunning themes, and wish you luck.

sad that you won't be around here, you're the theme master for everyone. we learned a lot from you certainly!! Kudos and good luck
thx for the flowers guys (and XDA for 5 thx limit...), but most important reasons of this Thread is helping members of this Forum to maintain and carry on these Themes. Also give new modders some insight, so they see how they can manage their stuff in an environment of fast changing ROM's. First PM's arrived, but you can still feel free to contact me. I will ensure, you will not be alone with your questions and will still have an eye on the threads.
I'm sure I will also see some of you over there at the Nexus forum, like I already met good guys like Mike1986 or Whiskey there.
Man, my heart just sank a bit, My DHD looks awesome due to guys like you. DHD community will miss you a lot. Many thanks for your awesome work and wish you all the fun with your Galaxy Nexus.
What do you do?
You can´t leave the DHD!
Everyone need´s your Themes!
I hope you don´t rebuy your DHD, so you can make a Theme for ICS when it is come out.
Thank you for everything what you do for the DHD.
You are a great Themer, stoney.

MIUI v4 Theme Template

This is a theme template for MIUI v4 (ICS) - the lockscreens still work with no extra work, but most of the themes need to be redone as files are moved around and have different names. So I decided to put together this template. It's got the uncompiled .9.pngs so you will need to compile them before you put the theme together. It's also got the theme_values.xml files in each folder that had a colors.xml with all the values from the colors.xml.
I put this together for myself, working on a theme, and I figured I'd share my template. This should be pretty complete. The build I'm working with has stock music player, so that's what decompiled in there, if I'm missing anything just let me know and I'll update it.
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12507353/v4ThemeTemplate.zip
Edit 1/20 - Fixed framework-res and framework-miui-res folders. Still can't seem to get anything but the toggle tab label color to change with theme_values.
thanks,
you have the theme_values.xml from lockscreen
great job
marc
Apologies to everyone who downloaded this template. I accidentally included only the framework-miui-res the first time then accidentally combined the folders. I have separated the folders and the template is now correct for framework-res and framework-miui-res. If you have downloaded, please redownload.
any idea with the default lockscreen template in v4?
i want to get the manifest.xml file, but never found it!

[MIUI THEME] VanillaICS MIUI theme

This is just a test from my messing around with the theme files and trying to learn to theme. It is mostly miui v4 but with a black status bar and black fade launcher theme.The biggest change is a vertical battery from light coloured business version miui theme and I have made white coloured ICS icons from Galnet Miui theme and different desktop dots. It also uses a galaxy S style unlock screen and Ubuntu fonts.
Thanks for the help to bring theme format up to date.
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmi2zzv7ckyssxq
If any of it looks good, feel free to use it. I will try to find links to the original threads for the themes I have poached from so authors get their due.
I will likely keep playing with this so will try to keep this updated.
Mostly based off this thread so far:
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.ph...the-easy-way!-9-guide-now-up!!!-Questions-Ask!
Old format means you didn't take the .zip extension off the directory folders and you didn't change the whole themes extension to .mtz
Cheers, changed format to MTZ, but didnt realise folders inside needed to be zipped too.
*edit*ok, some previews work, naming is obviously important*, zipped internal folders and it all seems to have not applied, hmmmmm, try again.
OK, helps if you zip all the right files properly. All working now.
Make sure you zip the contents of the folders in your directory. Because when you zip the folder the compression app places it in it's own folder. Hence causing an extra folder.
Don't zip the preview folder though ok.
Don't you have any other miui themes you can dissect to see how it's formatef.
I've downloaded your theme but i haven't looked through it yet.
Thats what I ended up doing. Having a 3 week old baby is impacting my ability to think clearly! figured out the second time I had zipped them wrong and not zipped framework-res and one other folder by comparing to another theme. Latest link all works well now.
that looks great!!
Updated a couple of signal status icons that had the wrong shade of grey in the background.
