Important Update, Please Read:
Here is an idea! I'm gonna write a very easy tutorial for you guys to apply these themes and any other themes you find anywhere else on your devices. This way, you can mod your phone in no time with less hassle and you can start making great themes for everyone.And you don't need to wait for me to do the job .
Let's bring competition to table. I Believe Cyanogen rom is brilliant, however, when it comes to theming, it is way behind Miui fancy UI.
I'm sure many of you guys have different taste, ideas, and can improve the look of the rom.
It is not easy to find all the tutorials in one place and not spending hours in XDA website to learn something. I myself have learned a lot from XDA, other Devs and using try and error method.
These tutorials would be super easy even for someone who had never done theming before. I'm gonna start writing the first part of tutorial today and if I find time I include images too. I will open a new thread and put the link here.
Tutorials will teach u how to theme almost every App you have. There are other guides out there and u r welcome to use theme but makes mine different is that details will be covered. Tutorials should be fast and easy. Im myself get tired ot reading long confusing tutorials and still come up with questions.
First tutorials is ready go to this link
Thank you
Adam
Here is an example of my work, I'm gonna show you how to do something like i did down below.
"For now, I prepared this theme for Nexus one since I have one and if time allows I make more for other devices if you guys vote for it. Should I go for it? You like it? Let me know?
Here is the original thread with the images --> Link
Guys please mention your device name if its not in the list
inspire 4g
xperia x10 here but i believe the nexus one theme is compatible
Also available for a SGS running CM7?
HTC Hero CDMA

I'm gonna give u instructions to do it urself and u should be able to theme in less than half hour. I can theme it for you but here is the thing. I dont have your phone and you might end up having so many errors and u finally give up. If u be patient I will finish the first part today and u can theme it in no time

Hey man i actually was about to jump into the same thing for this since eugene left.
I really don't know much but a few tutorials that i bookmarked and kinda got the basics.
I do know that one of the guys used an old blueberry theme from his old Hero3g Uni ROM(dont know if you were following him since then) but it did change the wood theme to blueberry without touching the icons which i think would be a good "Blank Theme" to start off with.
I am going to look for the file now.
Blinker1683, Most of the G1 instructions will work just fine with the Sapphire aswell, any specific part you need help with to get started?
Yes how can i get the empty theme to edit, do i use the files that are inside the specific ROM that i want to edit, or is there a stock theme i can download that would work .
Thanks for replying and i need the information please
i am ready to get started as soon as possible
templates
I believe you are speaking of getting a template based off a specific rom to edit the pngs and such. You can just use the dream tutorials on creating a theme, with the actual update.zip you used to flash the rom. All of the files necessessary are included in the update.zip. I believe you can also cut out all the crap u dont need, but im not sure the exact/safe process to do so.
blinker, yes you can use files inside a specific rom file or if you are making it for the cyanogenmod roms then i believe in his posts he also includes a template for themers.
Does any one know or will tell me how to root a cliq... I been looking around and im a newbie...but i haven't really found too much info on the cliq... I would like to give it a diff theme.. Also, can someone give me a little help here and tell me what and what do dl and get....

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.
If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

Chill out guys, damn, you all sound like some grumpy old men. I've been in PPC's when they had B/W screens back in the 90's and I don't get this angry when a new guy ask me some questions. We all had to start out somewhere.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.
Hi guys
Enough of the bootanimations now I have done way too may and now I want to learn about building ROM. I want to design my own custom ROM, want to create it's own Kernel (just for information how to be advanced ) create own custom recovery, setting up GApps support editing updater script, build.prop everything.
I am a BIG TIME NOOB in programming so I want that I should be told every step of how to program even commands (kidding)
But I really have no idea with programming that much. All I know is to use dsixda's kitchen and few other NORMAL tweaks.
I know that there are all sorts of guides out there by great people like doomlord, mjraider etc( sorry know these two names only)
I want a full compact and complete package of links if anyone can provide me pretty please! I have searched s lot and all I found i was a big ZERO.If you are gonna say that it requires patience the test me I have a lot and dedication towards my work I'm a quick learner (proof you know as my bootanimations) so please bear with me ONCE! Provide a compelete set of BEST GUIDES OUT ON XDA FORUM and youtube video links if any that can teach how to to build a custom rom in which I can carry out themeing and other tweaks such as modding the status bar and battery icons etc. How to set my signature on ROM. EVERYTHING! I don't know much but you guys know what to cover in everything! SO PLEASE MY HUMBLEST REQUEST TO ALL JUST BEAR WITH ME ONCE I WILL BE HIGHLY OBLIGED!
Special Request to Mjraider : Sir I know you occasionally visit these threads and answer the questions, you are one of the biggest names here so please consider my request and help me once, I will be highly obliged:victory::angel:
My device
Xperia SP C5302
Rooted ** Unlocked Bootloader
Stock ROM JB 4.3
Firmware 12.1.A.205
CWM Recovery Installed
Kernel DooMLord's Advance stock kernel
@mrjraider hero around this corner
Dude, use the guides. No one can teach step by step of everything. Just read n learn is my best advice to you.
trial and error + research is the way how i have learned it.

First of all thanks for the reply.
Secondly that is what I mentioned in the thread that I searched XDA but couldn't find a single worthy guide that can actually define andything for eg updater script, tried googling things go way over my head :silly: You guys keep posting guides tweaks and tricks. That is why I requested that you must be knowing the best guides out that have all the information, I just ask that I want a complete bunch of links of guides here in reply so that I can go out in a flow.

I know that's the actual way, I also know that it isn't easy all I ask is for that someone just guide me the path like This is the way and I'll walk on it.
Just a guidance and that can be done by giving out the links here so that I can start and get going.

Haha. Thanks...
As a reply:
Just try. Keep a backup safe, follow the instructions and not much can go wrong
Edit: After I reread your question:
I cannt help you much but I can see what I can do. First you need to start. I have some update.script and adb knowledge so I can help you with that. But I am not a developer (I am a nurse actually )

That's what I am talking about!
Is there some guide or something that explains update.script and it's editing not in detail if then informative enough for me to begin with.
As far as adb is concerned then for that too a guide (I asks for too many guides sorry )

Some nice guides here. Can go through them to see whether there's anything that might help you.
A guide about flashable zips/updater-script from there. See this also.
Thanks a lot man!
You really helped me!
