If you want help, you should probably link the thread where this came from. Also, if you really are giving out a reward, method and amount of payment info would be good to explain as well. Is this a flashable theme? Or theme chooser apk?

I would also bet that with the proper amount of searching, a very similar theme chooser apk for mdpi exists as well, maybe even with an add-on mdpi morph? I haven't found the link for where it came from (actually I haven't looked lol) but there's gotta be something out there, maybe already done, after all, this is xda...

i actually did search for an mdpi and the same i couldnt find it.
Its a flashable zip that install to the theme chooser, or you can extract it to get the apk and install it that way.

Ah, so it's a theme engine apk, but only for hdpi. Afaik, it should just be a bunch of png edits.

Standalone Stericson Lockscreen

Can anybody point me in the right direction so I can port Stericson's lockscreen over to a Roger's rom?. I imagine there are other people that switch themes often and would just want the lockscreen without having to flash an entire theme so even if this is something that is exclusive to Cyanogens roms is it possible to just port the lockscreen?

yes can someone explain the process for porting stericsons lockscreen over to a rom/theme what all needs to be included?
It has hooks in the .jar files. So until Stericson provides info on which smali files are needed.it cannot be ported

you also have to use jdwme's services.jar also until one is released the regular services.jar from cyanogens rom will not work i think stericson changed some stuff in it to allow the lockscreen

uhhhhhh....that and that github site are like reading a different language to me. I just want to get the lockscreen from xtheme onto my phone. Not sure where to locate those files on github. Im usually not this dense as ive ported the majority of ted's hero theme to my rogers rom. maybe someone would be so kind as to post links to the files or make a update.zip for it?

do u know what files specifically in the drawables folder? if its just the files starting w/ZZ i did that but it hangs on the g1 screen when i try to boot it up. I think its because i am unable to edit the policy.jar myself as i am on a mac so i just took the jar file from the cyan build and placed it on the rogers 1. I also did the same with "resources.asrc". Im fairly certain if i can edit the files for the respective builds it will work.

Branwen's Vanillan Community Theme

EDIT: DOES NOT WORK FOR 1.1
Ok so here is my first shot at a theme.
I've done some image editing on this, but mainly its a compilation of stuff from other themes on this site.
Flash at your own risk/do a nandroid backup!
How-to Theme Development
And NpRussell for making this rom
And Oshaka for making .jar's easy to edit
And the themes I borrowed from:
Luminescence by Amoredraven
Blue_Haze by Cloverdale
And Enoch's theme, which I can't find atm.
So go send those people some love
And of course
hTC

Thanks.
I think the .jar edits would cause it to bootloop, but I'll have a look and see.
But only for vanilla roms, nothing with sense
This theme work with CyanogenMod v1.0 ROM?
Is the file corrupt?
Ive downloaded it and attempted to extract the files to view exactly whats been changed but it wont extract correctly?
are this really for htc hero? after i install & reboot but the btm scrolling icon was not there.
It may well be solely for the VanillainROM, which is in my sig.
It depends exactly what's been changed and where.
Good to see someone theming my roms anyway

the dev needs to release his source and you would have to request it from Pershoot.

Metamorph isn't going to work because Settings.apk needs to be edited from source as well as Services.jar, framework-res.apk and a couple of others in framework directory. Since SuperD framework and Cyanogen framework are different it's not going to work.

[Request] CM 7 Theme Chooser "MattedBlues"

Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?

I love this theme and wish this for my Desire
+1 on that one!
+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.
Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

CM12 Theme Engine works like a charm :P

So, I got it install this new theme engine for cm12 and installed some icon packs and bootanimations,
seems like everything works fine...
here's a sneak peek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR38IlYPY_I
Only bug i saw is after installation of a Icon pack , Fonts , Ringtones , Bootanimation it just freeze's (Touch screen will be unresponsive) until you reboot it, once you reboot it everything will be back to normal
can you provide the link or rom in which cm12 theme engine is working?

I got it to work. I did it using apktool and just decompiling and compiling at first, which breaks it.
Try using the VTS method: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEzP-AyZs2p-tpyu2USGFsUi5DTGw
Works wonders, except I find too many transparent "new" variables inside, keeps failing to install into Theme chooser when i remove them.
