Hello everyone!
I've got a quick and simple question for you: what themes do you want?
Name a theme you like, and I'll let you know if I can port it. If I can, I'll get in contact with the developer to get permission, then it'll end up here as a Clockwork-flashable .zip file.
Easy, simple, painless.
And, as a special thanks to anyone who donated previously, send me a PM if you've got any theme requests or special changes and I'll see if I can make it happen!
I don't know about theming, because I've always used a custom launcher and kind of dig the dialer they gave us on the Revo (it looks like the one on Go Launcher), and the power buttons in the taskbar being stock is kind of cool too.
But I kind of always liked the circle battery taskbar theme along with the ability to throw the percentage in there. I think the former is an actual theme part, and the latter is part of CM?
edit: and as far as donations are concerned, after all you've done for this community, and the time you spent on this device, that you don't even own, you don't owe me anything (I and this community technically owe you) I'll make requests from time to time, but don't feel that you have to meet them. Just suggestions.
I used to use NexTheme on my droid but any theme that has black (or dark background) with white (light) fonts will do. I just think that contacts, email, messaging, etc should have the same color scheme as the rest of the phone interfaces/apps (i.e.: settings, alarm clock, calculator, etc.)
how about the pull down being transparent. a theme like CyanGalaxy and frost with the aosp froyo sliders or gingerbread sliders.

Any particular theme in mind?
(also, anyone else played with the Evo3d? Friend dropped his off at my house this morning so I could try to root it along with the other devs. It's _really_ cool!)
yup, i work in the mobile field and played with the evo 3d.... i believe i have fallen in love with sense again, 3.0 atleast the locksreen is pretty amazing, wish something like that could be ported over to the Revo. has anyone tried that new honeycomb launcher?
Why do I keep going Verizon? Axing their unlimited plan, highest rates of any carrier, and inferior phones compared to lower end competitors.......
I was seriously considering switching to Sprint after the announcement of the relinquishing of the unlimited plan.
Had the Evo 3d been available at the time, that may have convinced me to take the plunge.
Kind of makes me sad...

I'm diggin that theme Majorpay.
hey thecubed, will these themes be sent out individually to the person who request it or will it be released to the public.
Released to the public, I should have them done here shortly. I'm working on porting the the stock Gingerbread theme firstly-- the come the requests. (I like the GB theme )

If you already have their unlimited 4g plan then you arent going to lose it. You are grandfathered and to change your plan would be to break your contract. Same things happened to me with other aspects of the plan. I pay 5 bucks a month for 1000 texts to anyone not verizon and unlimited texts to other verizon, I have had this plan sine 2004 and they obviously stopped it back then. I just havent edited my text package and therefore still have the same plan. Same concept different part of their service. Oh and Cubed, thanks so much for what you are doing, and the basic 411 you gave me, and I would love to see the white chrome ported.
theme like evil fascination
i came from the fascinate and loved evil fascination theme. would love to see the extra's like black facebook, blackened sms and mms. and so forth.
If we could get theme chooser on here so we can just download whatever from the market that'd be awesome. The vivid theme on there is very nice!

I am a fan of the darker themes myself so I'd go for an evil revo theme
I would LOVE to see just about anything ported over from Miui.. Heres a thread with some amazing lock screens that would look great on our nice big screen =)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
Think this is possible to move over to Revo?
Hey Thecubed, I dig the go launcher ink icons. But they have like 12. An expanded library of them would be stellar.
I like the HTC Thunderbolt dock.
Most of all, I like clean lines, and a dang near clear home screen. I use Go Launcher, so my swipe down motion opens the status bar. The only thing I have going on is the dock bar.
Edit... Alright. So I downloaded HeLauncher. I love it. I like the different options. So I have been playing with the Samsung Theme. I dig it.
I use the "Paperless system" adw theme. It would be neat to see the theme extended into the taskbar, keyboard, ect...

(Both made by droidkevlar) and combined them into one theme.
All credit is due to droidkevlar for making both themes I just combined them and changed the color of the battery to match. I dont know if anyone will even like this or use it but this is my first contribution to the droid community and my first theme so I hope you like it.
I have added the screenshot below the file. Not much but It's a start. Let me know if anyone can think of any improvements.
Also note that this has only been tested on the Droid Eris so I do not know if it will work on other phones but no matter what phone you have DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
Disclaimer: If you brick your phone its your fault. I hate it for you but I am not responsible. You are doing this at your own risk.
Who cares if only 1 person likes it. We have another themer on board. Now get to making more, lol.
Cant wait to see a screenie.
ironically, i did this myself last week
BUT i flashed a new rom and changed my theme to incorporate a bunch of things i saw in themes/roms that i liked.
200 views?
Over 200 views and no one has any tips for me for future themes. No posotive or negative feedback on how it looks or if it works. Anything?

ive been having trouble getting any kevlar to work on my droid does rom, if a fix for incompatible rom is there that would be an awesome fix.also itd be cool to have more all around themes.i wish i knew how to... incorparation of dialer would be cool, thanks for the share tho
I love the blue theme! I downloaded Aloysius 2.0.1 v12 and added this theme. This is my first experience with rooting, and I'm loving it. Everyone has been so helpful.
Any way to get the battery percentage in the notification bar circle?
Also, since the blue is working so well, any way to get a blue message icon too? When I tap letters on the keyboard, they turn green. It would be cool to get that blue too!
Great job!
for some reason the signal bar will not change for me. Could be the ROM I'm using
does the circle battery go over the checkered bar or does it have a black square on the end?
It has a black square I will be fixing this in the next update along with some other new things I am working on.
That's what I got switched to kevlar for the time being. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the update
Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...

Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478570
wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

that's too bad, one theme I was really looking forward to.
and no, dont know diddle about theming.
excuse the title. didn't know how else to put it.
i figured id make a post of this instead of requesting it in each theme thread.
first off i honestly do thank all you themers etc. yall make using my phone a better experience.
what im requesting is that themers not forget to change or theme the pictures in the call log, contacts and favorites sections of our phones.
for example, i was running nitsuj's gb theme. he theme'd all those pics with a green android. looks great. then i tried the new cyan theme. looks great! except some pics are a blue person, some are a nitsuj's green androids. there's no consistency.
i use my phone with those pics in those places a lot. so when i see they're not themed it's a bummer.
i don't know how long it takes or how much work it takes, but if themers could all theme all the pics in call log, contacts and favorites that'd be great!
thanks.

Honestly unless every released theme changes the exact same things
There is always going to be carry over from some themes to others....to avoid this...reflash your rom before flashing a new theme (yes I know that's annoying)
thanks nitsuj.
sometimes what i do is flash the theme with the contact pics i like and then flash the new one that doesnt have themed contacts. that way theyre all the same (thanks to the previous theme).
or take your lucid theme. in that one the mms isnt themed. its the old samsung colored theme. i flashed that, then flashed the mms from your gb theme. voila. i now have your dark/silver themed lucid theme with the dark mms of your gb theme.
it is kinda a pain and sometimes you can't flash over like that to get things like you want. which is why i hoped it would be something easy themers could remember to do. ahh well.
I'm new to the droid world and don't have a lot of time (or talent) to theme like the artists here do. But, I would like a theme done for my Optimus T if possible. Has to be classy and I would like to base it on this wallpaper (see attach).
Don't care what you use to theme it..but WidgetLocker seems to be the best so far...(I haven't DL'd the app yet to install it which is why I don't care what you use to theme it...)
Only requests...
1) classy and simple (this is a work phone as well)
2) stay with the whites/greys/blues in the main picture...
3) I would like to have a new slider, I need a calendar, weather, and clock.. anything else added is cool...
I WILL PayPal to whomever it is that provides me the coolest theme..(there might be several). It's probably easiest if you post screenshots here first??
Feel free to PM me if any other questions arise...
otherwise good luck and great work...
You may not have talent but I'm sure you could make it on your own. If you like minimalism, then download minimalistic text and put allnover your homescreen and use widget locker to put it there too. If you like something else I'm sure you can find a widget to suit.

I'm more interested in seeing what sort of designs people can come up with. Aside from paying them for the design they do for my phone..there's probably some additional design work that would be offered...

I'm new to the Android scene (coming from a Touch Pro 2) and I'm really hating the Motoblur interface. Is it possible to install another launcher, or is that something that's hard coded in the ROM?
For some of it you can install a new launcher, ADW, ADW Ex, Launcher Pro are a few examples.
Any of them will allow you customize your homescreens more.
Curious wat you don't like about it? It seems very snappy to me. Much improved over previous versions of blur ui.

Its snappy and neat but not as snappy as a third party launcher such as launcherpro

I don't mind this motoblur but go launcher is still more functional for me.
Sent from my DROID3
i suppose i dont disagree... put the topic was that he was "hating motoblur", and while old versions were truly hate worthy, i don't find this version offensive! in fact if they had launched originally with this version, i don't think there would be much hate at all... LP and ADW are still better, and easy solutions for those who like more customization for sure!
The only thing I don't like about this blur, are the 4 launcher icons. Wtf 4? I want/need my app drawer button in the middle, and there's no middle with 4...
So, aside from that, I would be using the stock launcher. When will manufacturers realize people need options, and options are the biggest advantage over iphone. I would be perfectly happy with blur if I could add a 5th icon to the launcher bar.

I put Launcher Pro on my wife's D3. Apart from a very occasional graphics hangup on the homescreen (which may or may not be from Launcher Pro) it's working really well. She likes that the interface is cleaner, and I don't have to try and explain how "this icon with two squares represents your app drawer", heh! Using the Froyo Wide style for the dock, visually, makes a big difference in not being confused on her first Android device.
Only thing I actually kind of miss is the Moto's QuickContacts widget, which shows up invisible from within LP; and LP's people widget isn't very nice IMO.

I get the same graphic hangup on waking the device. It's seen as the desktop area being black while the dock is still visible and showing the wallpaper. Happens every time but clicking the app drawer or rotating the phone makes it go away. This happend on my d1 occasionally with cyanogen as well so I'm fairly certain it is Launcher Pro. Still can't live without LP as the blur home sucks imo.
I honestly love this blur ui. The blueness is awesome, The widgets are sweet, the icons are nice looking, and the 3d-ness is pretty sexy. This is all coming from a touchwiz fan tho

I didn't know you got a Droid 3. I loved your themes on the Fascinate. I'm actually getting one myself on the 27th. Can't wait to ditch the Fascy for it. Any plans on making themes for this when it gets root?
And I agree. The blur on the D3 is very nice. I've absolutely hated every version of it besides the D3's. I hate the TW3 launcher but like all of the TW features(like notification bar toggles). I love TouchWiz4.
Overall I don't mind blur at all. I wish they had certain features from the full blur, but I switch launchers like no tomorrow. I have ALL paid versions of LPP, ADW, Mobile Shell, and Go. I wish I could keep the favorites launcher from blur or find something similar to that.
Motoblur is now called "Motorola Application Platform"
Hahaha that sounds like "we don't want to call it Blur because everyone hates Blur."
Under "Operating System" on Verizon's page on the details screen:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/droid-3-motorola.shtml
Also, it's funny that Motorola decides to phase out the name rather than phase out Blur completely: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/motoblur-name-phased-out-due-to-public-feedback/
And by funny I mean annoying!
But as the others have said, it's much less annoying than what it used to be. At least when you get your phone you don't have all of these stupid widgets everywhere preloaded on your screen. I really can't stand having all the VZ apps.
I actually liked the blur ui on this phone, but it seemed too laggy. I put launcher pro on and it has helped, but I still notice a little. I am thinking it shouldn't have any lag at all being a duelcore phone and all. Any settings I can change to help it?

I would definitely theme this when the time comes, I planned on it. I kinda dont know if Id want to theme it TBO, Blur is perfect (For me anyways). If someone ends up making an aosp rom or something I could probably theme that for the people that want to be de-blured. Im not sure how this phone will work theming wise.
I really don't mind blur on D3, way better than the blur on that defy I was tinkering with for a while, but I've been a loyal LP user since my OG. What I would like to see though is that quick contacts widget working in LP. That widget is slick, one of the coolest widgets I've ever seen, and I would use it alot. Anyone got any ideas on that?

True. There are a few changes I'd want, like making the menus black with white text instead of white with black text.
I got the D3 today. Of course, the one I get has a touchscreen that stopped working after activation. Waiting until Friday for the new one to come in. But, at least my DX2(Fascinate replacement, since mine has issues and I was gonna give it to a friend) came today and works so I have that in the mean time.
EDIT: Got the replacement in earlier. Loving this phone so much. It's extremely smooth and fast(even with Blur), and the keyboard is amazing. This is the first version of Blur I've liked. I would like root to remove V Cast apps and a few other bloatware apps, but meh, I can wait. At least Blur has app groups in the mean time.
Anyone know if there's a way to restore an old LP backup from an OG Droid?
I keep getting no files found... the backup's on my SD card... do i have to create the directory on my internal storage for it?
[edit] Ignore - Figured out solution. Simply copied the LP backup folder from my SD card to my internal storage and it worked.
Guessing since it mounds as sd where as the actual sd card mounts as sd-ext?
