I see a LOT of great themes in this section...absolutely amazing.
Unfortunately I have a Nexus One....and being that our community is a lot smaller we have a paltry selection of themes....
I noticed that a lot of themes here lack HDPI support...and I was wondering if any kind fellow here could either port their themes they make to HDPI devices or if someone else can (with permission) pick up a theme and port....
It'd be great and the entire HDPI android scene would be pleased.
Suavesque is free to port. :]

I've been getting a lot of pm's asking for HDPI version of my theme.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7208540#post7208540
I'm working on it myself, I've grabbed most files from Nexus CM6 and I'm working with that specifically. Either way its free to port if you have the time and beat me to it... or you could help me out lol

yea 480 x 800 (or in the case of Droid and Droid X 480 x 854)
the resolutions for things are what you'd really need to know though right?
I know app icons have an area of 72 x 72...that's pretty mcuh all i know off the top of my head though.

The reason why there are not many HDPI themes in this section goes back a long time when the G1 and MT3G were the only android phones...
The thread is here. Some "genious" decided to move all the G1 themes to the android themes section, so it became the de jure place for G1 themes. When other android phones came out, they did not enforce them to move the themes to this section. Now G1 themes almost exclusively go in here de facto and themes for other phones go in their respective phone sections. It's a messed up system, but you gotta live with it.

Daneshm90 made a sweet computer app (only for Windows ATM) to take the PNGs from one theme or rom and transfer them to another, easily and effectively theming the new rom with little effort. Right now you have to make sure that it is MDPI type stuff, so no higher class phone themes will work just yet. I think he might be finding a way around that. You can still grab themes from lots of phones like the G1, Hero, etc etc and you can use 2.1 themes for Froyo roms and such as well. I made a Buuf themed Cyanogen Tazz rom and a pink themed CELB Froyo rom for a friend that was from a 2.1 rom. So far so good... Did not have success with using Droid roms as they are HDPI. Soon though...soon... lol Feel free to stop in that thread and say thanks or ask questions. He seems quick to answer and be helpful. Since I have done a few (hey, failed ones count, you learn what NOT to do...) I might be of assistance as well. Enjoy!

Very nice, thx

Not very nice... I was pretty quiet when you used my work in the RC Mix Thread, but this here is a real joke.
1. You highjacked my complete code from Revolution Theme, that took me countless hours
2. You used the idea from my screenshots of Honey HD in various threads
3. You used complete framework, HTC resources and systemui from my Revolution Theme and only changed a few png
4. You used my inverted facebook and gmail plus other apps incl Twitter, where you did not even try to change the green highlights against Honeycomb blue
5. You even left my green highlights and progressbar from Revolution Theme
6. You left Revolution green menu and green headlines, which do not really match
I could go on like this more and more. All other guys here ask when they need something and they will confirm, that they get all info incl. Detailed instruction for codes. You never asked, just grabbed my work and sold it as yours and never asked. I certainly see that small credit, but that really does not explain, what happens here. So whoever knows Revolution Theme, just flash this here and you will see. Who knows coding, download both themes, compare and you will see what I'm talking about.

You can sent a pm to this Guy Captainkrtek....
He is responsible for these issues here in xda....
He contacted me when i opened about 3 months before THIS THREAD, in which i'm explaining what exactly happened when liamstears suddenly took all my themed apps (about 70 of them) and all my icons from framework-res.apk an com.htc.resources.apk of my Mixed_Theme and he made his theme with name Theme Animation 3.6.0...
I think some people want the Glory without working at all......
That will never stop....
P.S. I am themer too, and i have a very very good cooperation with he_stheone64.... I have used many of his code, but after i asked him, after he consulted me and of course i gave him all the GREDITS he deserves for his very very hard work he made in coding, in .xml files......
So i have to say that he_stheone64 is one of the best people i have met here in xda and he is surely the OpenSource guy, as he shares his work with anyone he ask him.... So after a research all he wrote here are all true, as i compared this theme with he_stheone64's Revolution Theme and all i have to say is that this theme is the same (so it's obviously a highjacked theme) with he_stheone64's Revolution Theme with very little exceptions....
So my proposion to everyone he want to THEME.... Make your OWN WORK... This is the rule... and don't forget that OpenSource has still copyrights....

No mate you are totally wrong....
Yes Android is OPEN SOURCE, but where did you learned that when something is OPEN SOURCED you can use it without permission???
Open Source has COPYRIGHTS mate....
So you MUST ask to use someone's else work....

Your answer proves your character... in any case leaving all my green stuff does not proof you are smart anyway and dark menu with green besides hundreds of other png is coincidence. Oh - and please explain all steps, how you inverted gmail and why you did that in the same minute as me?
Your behaviour really sucks and for me everything would have been fine with a short apology, but you really missed that chance with your childish comment and bad manners.

Sharing yes, stealing no. In any case Honeycomb is not green, so obviously you have been a bit lazy... But since I soon release my completely blue version, just go ahead and take what you need from there, since you will do that anyway. Why learn coding and designing with Illustrator and PhotoShop, if grabbing my work is so much easier...

I totally agree... THIS FORUM is for SHARING...
But it's HUGE different between that and taking someone's else work without even asking....
And you made this THREAD without giving ANY gredits... And you said that you will give the GREDITS after he_stheone64 wrote here....
I have nothing else to say... cause probably you just don't understand the differences between Open Source and when taking most of someone's else work without even ask the person from which you took almost all codes.....
It`s more than awfull!!! Man Don`t say Android is OpenSource cause OpenSource is one thing and good behaviour second one ... I`m more than sure U want be able to make those tricks without he_stheone or others themers help... Shame on U ... Just took code and paste it into Yours? Nice ... This thread should be closed ... Continue Your work in RCMix thread but do not strt nw thread with grabbed someone work!

He_stheone... You are right, it is your work. Could you make a version compatible with the rcmix roms. You could do it once then give permissions to someone to upgrade for different versions. I had the full version of this when using a mike Rom, but all I get is force closes. But the look was awesome, just as you intended. This version detracts little. It's s part copy dude, needs finishing.
Kalagas, you are legend as well.
Thank you both for your contributions. Please keep going.

and tons of my pngs... plus complete apk`s, which are 1:1 like inverted gmail, inverted Facebook, Twitter... he even forgot to adjust simple things like progress bars in Browser or general progress bar, even headlines are still green from my code (88cc11) in com.htc.resources.apk - Code in styles and color.xml are 1:1 the same, and I changed a lot there... Also xml`s in color folder are identical,

It`s ready since a week and my friends Thyrus and segelfreund have the Beta since quite a while on their DHD. That theme is completely independent and coded for blue and appr. 1000 different pngs in order to have a true Honeycomb experience. The popups are also all dark with that nice glow and all AOSP widgets have the same glow plus HTC widgets are square. The only reason I did not relase it yet are FC issues with RCMix and the upcoming final Gingerbread, so I want to avoid porting 3 themes at the same time on too many leaked versions.
Wow, that sucks dude, did not know, cheers to you then!!!

Sweet man... I can't wait. I know it will come when its right. Thanks.
itachi1706 and I(yes we are friends) are gonna make a CM7 theme! I am going to try my best in theming the icons based on Cyanbread so that it would look good on our OB. Yes i know i am not gonna win those popular themes like LunarUI and others but i hope that you guys would give us your support so that we would do our very best!
itachi1706 would be doing the coding for the APK while i would be doing the theming of the icons. I dont mind u guys use this for your other mobile devices running CM7 but I am only making it usable on HDPI and most probably look good on OB(I am not saying that it wont look good on other devices)
So we need suggestions coming from you guys like what features do you guys want to see on our device, for eg. Transparent or Translucent framework, middle-clock, icons for the different apps or maybe even stuffs i have not know of yet! Just tell me in the comments below and i will try to implement as must features of the themes u guys want into the theme!
Also I have already decided to make the edge glow bright orange! maybe i would be releasing other coloured versions too but that would come later! And I would not be doing ICS style as you all know there is alittle way too much ICS themes for CM7 or any launcher like LPP or ADW, so therefore i do not wish to compete with them and then lose out in the end saying that we just copied them or anything...anyway we dont want that to happen so we might as well just do something like LunarUI which is based on original and stuffs like that!
So I would like to hear from you guys soon!
Yes. We sincerely hope you guys will give us feedbacks of what kind of theme you guys would want for your phone. We aim to create a theme that is not only original but would be used by people!

Sounds good. I'll be happy to try it out.
well..if u ask me of it...i'll want to have a "Dirty" "rusty" "BOLD" kinda look to the black.
u know, the dirty icons, some translucence (not transparent!!!...believe me, it will initially look nice, but eventually it will intrude with the usage of the phone with the background getting in the way of visibility). i kinda like the bold look, like deep blue, always great black & white, etc etc.
the using of orange overglow is good, but u should have the overglow in the same color as the icons (it'll look streamline)....that all i gotta say.
at the end, wateva u guys make is good for me
after all, it's your first theme ...maybe u'll eventually start making themes like upwardspiral or sonnysekhon....all the best
happy trying
Center clock, semi-transperent status bar.
And widget buttons - keep the icons small as possible.
Rest coloring and effects.... that's upto you to come up with something different.
