Can any of these themes posted here work with the HTC Hero?
Who knows what is what right now. This subforum is a GIANT MESS right now. Every OP will have to go back and specify which theme is for which device. This was a foolish idea to mix everything up like this! BAD IDEA.....

I completely agree the three previous comments.
please put it back the way it was!
this is just a giant cluster f**k now (which will get worse once more android devices come out i imagine), even when/if all the OP are updated to specify which theme works for which ROM/phone itll still be a cluster ball and a lot to scroll through looking for ur specific ROM/phone
and im sure there will still be posts in the thread asking if this theme works with so and so phone/ROM or port to this phone or that phone because it is all mashed together.
wishfull thinking: please make themes again randum, ill give u my comp
not really but ur themes were my fav :]

Well, ROMs are device specific and all the themes list the ROMs which they are build for.
So why the need to list the device?
yeah man. its a real mess.

i was just thinking it might be easier for some people to just scan for HTC Hero (or whatever device) instead of glazing over the diff build numbers and names, but u do have a point
kinda redundant i guess huh lol
the thing that bugs me is that its just all lumped together
kinda lame to have to scroll through a buncha stuff that doesnt mean anything to me to pick out what does
p.s. just flashed android stock 2.0 *thumbs up*
WHere do I get HTC Hero themes??
Are there any out there... seems to me all the good themes are for the G1
Help Please 7 months later and it's still confusing..
it's impossible to porting this g1 themes on hero?
i really like a lot of themes for example darchstar but i can't morph it on my hero!!
I can't create themes but for me the images on framework-res are similiar on all devices
-sorry for my bad english-
It's only gotten worse for the hero. There is the gsm version and the cdma ones. There is also 1.5 and 2.1 out plus the custom roms such as Fresh and Modaco. Haven't seen a theme for this yet.
Go to the Themes subforum for the Hero. You are not going to find metamorph themes or very many flashable themes, but you'll have several options to apply ROMs with themes already in place.
If all else fails you can create your own by pulling files and packaging them up as a theme you like. Be sure to give credit where it's due.

Incorrect... The Cyanogen Mod 5.0.7-8 will work with HTC Hero ROM DarchDroid v2.6.5... Moving the eri.xml.
I've ran Nexus Themes for Cyanogen and a couple from here.
Hi!
Just wondering if we can start a list of Market and one for Non Market recommended Apps unless there is one that I have missed already!

If you scroll through till the end, there is a recommended list of Apps.
I strongly recommend you Follow the guide to root, enable side loading, as well lift the market restrictions that ATT has put on the phone. No reason not to.
(The section on Launcher Pro is optional, since some people seem to like TouchWiz (i used it for a while, just switched to launcherPro to try it out) )

Cannot wait for Froyo now!
Oh and yes I got Launcher Pro + ..very nice. "
I did not give the original too much of a chance...I am coming from a Tilt2 and sense 2.5 so Touch was just looking to plain and odd for me. Launcher is growing on me.
double sorry

Energy Addict myself.. i do miss flashing my Fuze every couple of days, but i am super excited to have a sexy Android phone!
Me too...this thing is so freakin fast!
I still think we need a dedicated apps thread that keeps growing like the one we have for the Tilt2
i think a non-market app thread would be especially helpful
i found some new apps to add on to the pimp my captivate apps i wrote up. I no longer have access to my pdf but if one of you start a thread and make it look sexy, ill be glad to add some amazing new apps peeps should try.
Well I suck at that so I would let anyone else with skills to take over

I'll do it. Give me a few hours to get everything together.
Its my first time doing one of these, but I think if I can set it up right the first time, managing it will be fairly easy.
That said, is there a limit on how many post you can reserve? To give an ideal solution to the problem, I'd be looking at like 15 or so. Would people have a problem with this, or is that an acceptable number?
Sweet mate....not sure about the reserves Q...maybe check the Tilt 2 thread for ideas

Already did that. I've asked for permission (awaiting reply) to steal the design and I've made a few modifications to it that I think will make it easier to maintain and access. However, doing so requires a tremendous number of reserved posts. I'm trying to decrease the number by combining sections I think will have a low volume, but it will still take a large number of posts to do what I want.
Doesnt bother me at all but maybe ask a mod?
Just as an update.
I've gotten a mod's ok on reserving the number of posts in want. The only. Stipulation is it has to be organized. And I don't think that will be a problem.
I'm still waiting on a response from the Rhodium thread upkeeper, and iirc the thread was last updated in May. If I don't have a response by this time tomorroe, ill assume they've left XDA indefinitely, and will post the topic. If they later have an issue with my using a similar format, ill just edit my format.
In the mean time, ill continue working on the formatting of the thread and include a few items to see how it will look when populated. Hopefully this turns out as awesomely as I want it to.
I don't think this thread will take much more than an hour or so to maintain after it gets rolling, so keeping it up to date shouldn't be an issue by my logic. I just hope people provide all relavant information. Lol
It's not much, but id like to do my part to contribute its to a community that provides so much information and so many resources. Maybe this way I wont feel like such a leech. XD

I think you are cool to start it over and then modify if needed...I doubt that that poster is going to complain...I mean really...
How do I get to the Pimp My Captivate site?
Thanks
I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.
Goodies added:
Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.
Download here ---> MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED FOR CONTAINING WAREZ

What did you do to get Hulu working?
is 8GB internal storage present and is BT audio fixed? Those are keeping me away from CM6 for now...
I included the hulu.apk and the hulu flash player I got from skyraider

thx for the response and no worries, was just curious. don't pay attention to the negative comment(s).
Yo hot taco, overall pretty nice. The only thing i would suggest is to theme over all the cyan (blue) parts to make them look like vanilla (even though thats my area of expertise).
Good luck with future roms.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere. He's learning. He's obviously smarter than you at age 13 and you obviously have a problem with it. Grow up before you decided to post such nonsense.
EDIT: just to clarify, this was directed at rulevoid, not mtag. i was just agreeing with mtag, which is the reason for the quote.
Imma get the mods over here ok?? Flaming makes me MAD!
Wow. Cut the kid some slack. It's these kind of replies that are the reason some of the best rom cookers out there won't post on this forum).

wtf rulevoid, he's just a kid trying to contribute. You obviously don't have kids. And if you ever talked to my kids like that for trying to be part of a community I'd slap the crap out of you.

@OP glad ur taking interest and trying to learn to cook roms.
perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this. A lot of people will find this useful. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its right to treat someone trying to contribute like this.
OP if u want some help with creating update.zip's pm me and I'll help you out.

Hi all.

Geeky as all get out! Thanx I will try it soon. Keep up the cool work.
Are the labeled screen buttons functional or just purely aesthetic?

See how he put a link to the original thread? There are words there to read that explains it pretty well.
he used combinations of apps with themes set for each
ADW launcher (I suppose that VTL will work as well since it's based on ADW)
and Desktop Visualizer for the buttons. So, within DV, set the theme, then add the buttons to your home screen. so, if you do it as he's instructed, then yes, the buttons DO function.
It's a nice theme, have you created any others? got any links to them?
looks pretty damn cool, is it some kinda star trek theme or something?
edit: oh ok cool it is, i clicked the link and turns out you can learn a thing or two by clicking before asking

very nice. will try this later tonight.
So some of you may or may not remember a little old blog called Color Me Android from back in the day that was a screenshot based site. Well, it went down some months ago, and that was that. However. I tried to put a theme on my phone the other day (It's supposed to be so simple with the theme chooser, yeah?). Unfortunately, because it's so easy with CM7 and MIUI theme engines, that themes are EVERYWHERE. It takes you about a bloody hour just to find one.
So, I brought CMA back.
As a theme site.
It's a visual directory of all CM7/MIUI/ADW - type themes. It's in Open Alpha, and I'm inviting people to come, register, sign in, submit screenshots (Yes, I kept the orignal screenshot part of the site there) and help me find bugs while I finish adding themes. I've got 45 on the site so far. And I'm working my way down that ginormous list of themes that stickied in this forum.
So yeah.
Thoughts/comments/bugs?
or themes you want to see on the site? Tell me below.
http://colormeandroid.com
Sweet man thanks for bringing this back. Its great to have a easier way of finding themes and such.
sick idea. i'll deff be there alot as long as all the themes from miui get added there and lockscreens. =]

Once you register and log in there's a submit screenshot link that pops up so you can submit and view screenshots (a glorified 'post your homescreen' thread - but it's just like old school cma [hopefully])

I already have the "official" themes there, and I'm going through the miuiandroid forums to find more. It's gonna take a while to catch up.
Also - I am looking for people to help me add themes. So if you're interested, respond
I like it very much!
Here are some themes I personally use that I would like to see added
EpicBlue N Bold
R3D's Themes
Thanks! This is a great idea

Sorry, to prevent spam screenshots are sent in as a draft, and have to published by an editor (me). Otherwise people would just fill the form with crap. And it hasn't been notifying me, so I apologize for that. Also - the syntax for posting an image is the image tag in html not bbcode
so
Code:
<img src="url to image">
not
Code:

Indeed you did. I can always go in and edit it, but it's nice for the people to know what they're doing. Especially since I'm the only admin/editor for the alpha. That way if I change something, I don't have to worry about telling other people about it

i was cleaning out my drive and i found that sig you made for me about a year and change ago lol.
really like the ui of your site, seems user friendly for theme users to interact without searching for hours

Glad to see you're back! I actually found you guys through custom android, or AE, any idea what happened to those guys?
Thanks for all your hard work.
AH. I got my new phone and then went to your site to find some nice styles but noticed its changed a bit.
Am right in thinking the old site was more customised home screens than themes?.......If so is there anyway to see them again because thats what I really liked. People saying what widgets they used and custom graphics to make cool buttons etc.
But still the site is good! Maybe have an option to go back to the old version aswell?

Yes, it used to be a screenshot based site. I am going to be bringing that functionality back in the near future. However, I am still working on finding decent hosting. I can't afford anything so I'm looking for a sponsor. Until I find one, production is at a standstill. But yes, the screenshot portion of the site is going to be at screens.colormeandroid.com when I get everything set up eventually.
u had some epic **** back in those nexusOne days!
Hey, I truly truly truly miss Color Me Android. I saw the new site up a little bit ago. Is it back down again? Also, will there be a way of getting the old themes/screen shots back? Like archived? Anyways, Hope to see this again soon, I need inspiration for my Droid!
Take care
