I have themed my MT3GS with what I think is an awesome looking theme. The problem is I did not do any of the images myself, I picked, poked, prodded and pulled various images from some very great themed ROMs such as RemixedDarkBlue, ProdigalSunColorblind version, GTXSlide1.1, CR_mod1.35_OTA, BlackSlide1.3, and a few other various finds from different areas here on XDA. All different devs and versions and I can't really recall exactly what from where I pulled things from.
I did start off with doing a basic port of the BlackSlide1.3 into CM6.1.1 for the black keyboard and base of the theme, from there I opened up the .zip file and manually extracted and placed misc. images from the various ROMs I mentioned before and themed the icons, status bar, and color scheme of the overall ROM. I put the Fonts from the GTXslide in here as I like a little style. Hope you guys enjoy it.
This is the stable release of Cyanogen 6.1.1 base with a few of the apps removed, if you are already using that release just flash this over it to theme your rom. I did use the ADW App from RemixedDarkBlue as I like the trash on the bottom of the screen, and I like the icon in it as well. I placed that trash icon into the 3D Gallery to conform the rom slightly more ;-).

The question I have is how would I go about uploading this and offering this to the community while giving props to everyone I pulled images from? As I love how my phone looks and thinks others may as well.
P.S. I'll post Screenshots soon as I find a screenshot app if you guys would like a preview of how it looks. It's a Dark/Black theme.

Great attitude my friend, and to solve your dilemma you dont need to say the exact names of the authors, just point out the name of the themes and that the icons and stuff are not yours.... thats it, this is sharing comunnity so i dont think anyone would come and say "hey thats my icon" lol dont worry about it
Im glad we have some more people trying to contribute
Sounds awesome so far! I hope you find a way to package it all up.
As far as screenshots, I use "ShootMe", myself. Not sure what else is out there, but that one works well enough for me

Thanks, my kid and I had a blast taking screenshots with that app using the 'shout' option!!
Can you also possibly make this a metamorph theme file too? That would save me a lot of time

I didn't use metamorph to theme the ROM, I used something called Theme-Porter_beta_3 by Daneshm90 here in XDA. I can supply the files I got from the theme porter (aprox. 30 meg .zip file) for you to push into a CM6.1.1 ROM. In that zip I supplied the themed ADW from RemixedDarkBlue and the ADW that comes with the CM6.1.1. I Honestly just pasted those app and framework files into my CM6.1.1. (***NOTE=the ADWlauncher inside the app folder is the one that comes with the CM6.1.1, the standalone ADWlauncher is from RemixedDarkBlue***)
If you could point me in the direction of what metamorph program you use, maybe I can be of more assistance. I'd love to be able to package this in an easy to distribute kind of way if possible ;-).

Awesome! Haha, yeah I actually had that for a while before I found out you could change the way it takes a pic. :x Glad to hear you guys had fun though
As for the theme, I really like that unlock screen. Very slick!
Thanks, got the lockscreen slides from alt+dark posted in the dark hero theme from somewhere. **Reminder** none of themes images are mine, I simply found and compiled them all to make a singular theme

This is the app i use, http://www.appbrain.com/app/metamorph/stericson.xda.metamorph
for now this is the theme that i hav applied using metamorph http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...nse-201-cyanogenmod-61-stable-nb285-15122010/
but I really like how you made your theme dark n stuff its very nice , if you could make this into a metamorph theme it would be greatly appreciated, but if not its really no problem.
This is tremendous. Thank you so much for sharing.
Is there any way I can change ONLY the settings Menu?
Im reeeeeallllyyy liking it
What do you mean 'only' the settings menu? You want a different menu theme or something?

I like how my phone looks right now. I would only like to add this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=485783&d=1294675798
I see, can push the settings and settings provider apks from the .zip into your ROM via adb. if you like the font style, push /system/fonts. Hope that helps.
I realized after flashing this over CM6.1, the Menu button unlocks the phone ignoring what's checked/unchecked in Cyanogen Settings. Flashed Cyanoginger over this and it's back to normal. Could it be this theme or something else?
The menu button unlock deals with the 6.1.1 update, Cyanoginger is 6.1. All I've done was import image files. I didn't touch any of the .xml or any other base framework file. If you like 6.1, here is a link to 6.1.0. Hope that helps ;-)
Little spoiler though, I am working on a from scratch theme that will be dark in nature still, but will look kind of like brushed metal instead of shiny. I will be posting screenshots once I get all these keyboard/button transparencies and colors situated. This new theme will take a few weeks or so to complete because I will be doing everything from scratch. The Keyboard, selection buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, status bar and icons, and possibly the icons within the apps will be completely redone. I tried to learn the meta morph technique but find the Theme Porter that @migueltherocker turned me onto much better since it is very simple and works flawlessly. Feel free to post things you guys would like to see and I might try and implement those ideas into this next theme .
Snap.
I.
Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work!
Are you sure Cyanoginger is 6.1, though? The thread says 6.1.1.
Oh, my mistake. I know that the 6.1.1 has a known issue with the menu key unlock. Last I checked Cyanoginger was 6.1 and I believe the menu issue was not introduced until 6.1.1. I've only fooled with the image files and left everything else intact. Maybe the latest nightly removes the menu key issue? I'm simply running the latest stable 6.1.1 available on the CyanogenMod site. It never bothered me as the phone never leaves my side and I am attatched to it at the waist pretty much.
Alright, Just letting you guys know I am dropping making a new theme for CM.6.1.1 due to the CM.7 Nightly release. If anyone wants me to further work on 6.1.1 I will do so after I finish my first custom theme for CM.7. Otherwise I'll be dropping this project.
I've seen several of you asking for it, so I figured i'd let you all know what the holdup is. I'm working on creating an AOSP lockscreen for DL30 that will make future theming much easier. If I can get it working like I want here is what it will do.
currently if you download a theme with an aosp lockscreen you need to get an android.policy.jar file from that themer to change to puzzle lock so that it doesn't break any theme elements when you flash it. Same with if you want an aosp lockscreen that will or won't unlock with the menu key.
What i'm trying to do is create one android.policy.jar file that uses the AOSP lockscreen with no menu unlock by default. you will be able to change these features by creating files in the /data/local folder called "enable_glasslock" to enable the puzzle or glass lock and disable aosp, or one called "enable_menukey" to enable the menu button to unlock the screen. all without flashing a new android.policy.jar. If I'm able to create this, and it becomes the standard for custom themes, then there will be no more having to download multiple themes to choose which lockscreen you want. If i'm missing something and this has already been done, please let me know and point me in the right direction...
Once this is done i'll be able to easily make the Blackmod Enhanced theme for DL30, and you'll be able to easily switch between lockscreens without having 4 downloads to choose from.
Thanks for the good word. Looking forward to it.
sent using froyo facinate super clean style
Thank You
Yes me to, I am really looking forward to it. I like the "smaller AOSP lock screen, one theme I had it was huge, the one I am on now is smaller and I like it. I wish I could do all this from scratch. I want dark keypad, little blue refresher icon, love the colorful sd card when it reads, the circle with percent battery, although the gauge was cool too, and when I hook the usb to pc instead of the sound it has now I would add the Star Trek sound when it says connected.
One thing cool I noticed this time I am able to change the phone, browser, and drawer icons! I did not notice that on any other version, that is awesome. Green Lanter for browser.
Dude you rock, thanks again!!!
I can't make roms (yet), so I'm gonna start theming. That being said, what apps/icons do you want themed? I figure we can get a nice little list going here, so anyone else who wants to theme can make use of it as well. Obviously, stock apps will be themed; what we need here is the apps from the market or other sources that you want to match with everything else. Let me know!
I would love a new icon for Go SMS Pro. I like the app a lot more than the stock messenger, but don't like the way it clashes with my other icon images. If I could get a cooler icon, that would be awesome, even if it looks like the stock messaging up but maybe in a dark blue or black color. =)

If you have a launcher other than stock you can change it to anything you want w/o theming the whole apk. Plus gosms updates weekly and would be quite the pain in the long run if the apk were themed...

I already use a widget to display apps (which includes go sms) on my main desktop a certain way, so programs like better cut pro don't work. Unless I can somehow paste the shortcut app from better cut pro, which is essentially a widget, inside another widget, it doesn't work for me.
Thanks anyway.
Hello XDA,
This is my first time releasing anything so I'm pretty exited. With that said please forgive anything I've omitted in said excitement.
I used to use RetroDroid by nhnt11 on CM7 because...well I really like the idea of running a custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI and disguising it as AOSP 2.2 . Looking around I did not see any themes for MIUI for doing so, so....here we are. I don't know if anyone else will be interested in such, but I made it so I decided to share it
I use the term "made" very, very, loosely. I based most of the images from 2.2 ROM dumps and various sources about the internet. Like many I'm not positive of the origin of all the images I used, and while I'll do my best to give credit where credit is due I'm sure I'll forget something. So, if you see your stuff and want credit or want it gone please let me know.
Consider this a "beta" theme. Haha...I know right a beta theme... I still have a LOT to do. Partly because I'm still learning, partly because I only themed what my phone uses for now. I only have one phone to test it with (incredible, official 2.3MIUI) so if your interested in using it and somethings not working right (or you just have suggestions) let me know. I'll be using this myself, and will be working on it as often as possible but randomly and with no obvious pattern to updates.
Thanks goes out to;
Джаггернаут over at miui.us for great guide to theming MIUI
nhnt11 for the inspiration
the MIUI devs that work so hard to bring us awsome ROMs
Google and all their devs for making an awsome OS and constantly improving on there UI design
probably somone else...
Screenshots or it didn't happen? Well, check this post's attachments!
So whats themed so far?
Launcher2
Music*
Messaging*
Gmail*
Framework
SystemUI
Lockscreen
Icons
*here because they're in there, but not much is done
That's it for now.
There's nothing a MIUI theme can do to harm your phone, but...If it does its not my fault. Period.

You should add Droid Sans in to give this that polished look Great work!
memories coming back now
Nice theme. I gotta admit I really liked plain Froyo.
A couple quick observations. I suggest white text title on folders, and somehow more contrast/visibility of toggles. The meizu themes are a good example of highly visible toggles. Appears to have the makings of a very sharp (light) theme. Good work.

I went to Miui for this Theme... T'WAS WORTH IT! I was complaining to my girlfriend the other day about how there weren't any RetroAndroid Themes! My dream? A miui 8-Bit theme! maybe i need to learn to theme..
This looks good, Im gonna give it a try. Thanks!
I'm still rocking KitKat 4.4.4 on my Moto X 1Gen because I prefer my Xposed modules over Lollipop. That being said, thanks to a combination of CM11 themes and some Xposed modules, I've given my phone a personalized near-Lollipop look. There are, however, a couple of things I need help with, if anyone is willing.
I'm using a theme called L Style White, which was included in a 2-in-1 theme apk called KitKat White, which has since been removed from the Play Store for having "KitKat" in its name. Since it's no longer available, I've cracked it open several times and made some adjustments and changes, for my own personal use. I have no intentions of sharing/uploading a mod of someone else's initial work on the Play Store. I just made it for myself. I've added a lot of Lollipop elements from other CM11 themes that I liked. But there are two things I can't figure out how to theme on my own, and I was hoping someone more skillful with creating themes would be willing to help me out.
The first thing is the Google "Ears" sound search widget. I'd like to theme it to have a white background and dark text (so it will be visible on the white background). This one seems simple enough, but I can't seem to work it out on my own. Hopefully someone here can.
The second thing is the Reboot dialog, or really any dialog, I guess. I want to remove the white line under the title. This seems to exist on pretty much all dialogs that use the native framework, not JUST the advanced reboot menu. As you can see, it's already themed somewhat in the LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 ROM I'm using. I'd just like to make it more Lollipop style by removing that line. (On holo-light dialog popups, it's a dark line instead). I'm fine with the colors and everything on this; just want to make it more Lollipop style in its overall look. I've included a screenshot of an app that uses the style I'm wanting. Again, I don't care about changing the colors, just the layout of the title and stuff.
So there. Sorry that was so long. Hopefully someone took the time to read it anyway. If I need to, I can share the apk of the theme I'm using, but I'd rather do so privately, since it wasn't my work to begin with. I really just need whatever files/resources/xmls I can drop into the appropriate folder in the 'Overlays' section of the theme apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and would also help me learn more by example.
