I never messed with xml's to much, I was also trying to figure out what was what. We had a couple of guys around that were awesome at editing those files. I think your best bet would be trial and error as there are so many items inside an xml, but I think the description should be the same throughout all xml's.

obviously not. he didnt read the second thread title.

This is an awesome place to learn theming. Read Read Read over there before you start asking questions though or youll be crucified, like I was here because my phone doesnt like cwm
I'm gonna start trying my hand in porting, i just dont know which theme to start with.
I was thinking about White Chrome from the i9000 forums, but i dont even know if its compatible.
it would be for sc2.9.2.
opinions please!
and if any of the themers would like to give me the ok to pm them if i get stuck with something, that would be awesome. i dont want to feel like im bugging all you guys haha
You dont know if its compatible? Of course its not. When you port a theme, you make it compatable.
You can pm me if you need any tips.
Hopefully you can talk with nitsuj17 he is very experienced.
White Chrome is dope, good luck with the port.
My advice would be to download an existing fascinate theme/framework and compare it to the theme you like and want to port...galaxy s themes are pretty close to ours (well gingerbread rom themes are a tad more difficult with systemui.apk) so just look through the drawable-hdpi folders and see what's different

well i know im making it compatible, i had just heard there was something with TW roms vs aosp and stuff, and if i ported an aosp theme for a tw rom, i thought things might go bad.

i would recommend using sbrissens 6 lock mods as a base or stock frameworks from roms...when working with already themed frameworks ur carrying over their xml edits/image/framework changes too
and always remember to credit
yeah haha I read your ettiqute (sp) in your guide. so if I download sbrissens mods, and there will be modded frameworks in there and I can just put the image files that I am porting into that framework?

yup, images are a good place to start
Its not so bad...
The best way to pick something to work on is find one that YOU like. Then all the aggravation can be worth it if its something you will want to personally use.

If I may chime in, the theme from Warm TwoPointTwo would be great

It was my favorite UI on the INC and I can recreate the launcher with LauncherPro for ya
pming people is not a very good way to learn. head over to irc freenode #fascinate-themers and talk to the folks there. thats how i learned. i would never have gotten anything done with out them.

Look in the note theming section, there is a thread there, where they are doing avenger themes. Good luck.

Since there's been like no one helping on this or giving any links, I'm gonna just try and make my own theme. Anyone who has theming experience I'd appreciate your help.

so here's the boot animation im gonna run for the theme. still trying to figure out how to get the actual theme going. got some icons and a few different backgrounds picked. just gotta get it all compiled together. if anyone has found some icons to use ill gladly take a look. this is my first theme so be gentle on me.
as always with a boot animation, use root explorer go to /system then go to media. copy the file over, rename to bootanimaion.zip set permissions. reboot and should work.

Here are Icons
Sorry, I'm super busy. OK so here's the link to that thread http://goo.gl/shQW9 the themes are currently designed for the Note I believe, but the themers on that thread are in the process of learning how to convert their themes over to the theme chooser. Once they do then they will run on any device with theme chooser.
If I had more free time I would consider doing one...but currently I'm swamped.
Hope that helps.

If you have icon sets share it with me. First i will look at it and tell u. For basic themeing guide. Just extract any theme chooser theme apk and replace the images with your avengers images with exact name. And using winrar drag the images to original apk.

Look forward to your posts.

Stop taking drugs. Thank you.
Well, for starters, you could take a look in the various sections and topics around here to get a clue of what you can and can't do. No need to open up a topic for that unless you have a very specific question that hasn't been answered yet. But you don't seem to have a specific question so go ahead and take a look around here. Oh, and welcome on XDA!

Worst idea ever.
Try using apex launcher as you can set custom icons and install tha icon ultimate for custom icons has so many.
Can make your android look really good with no root
