This is the first theme for the ICSSGS port! It is more of a mod, and a theme, but I'll get to explaining that. This mod works on any phone running RC1.
First off, this is universal to all the mod:
-All rotation enabled (screen rotates upside down)
-Lockscreen rotation
-New Default Wallpaper
-Optimized Framework
-Overscroll Glow Enhanced
-Removes most traces of Gingerbread that would poke through when using installed apps
-NEW!accurate battery mod

Download for RC1 Patch.
Now this is where the themes come into play.
And now we have the CYAN mod! (NOT what it sounds like LOL)

Same build as you, I have no lag. When do you experience the lag?
Dont seem to be feeling the lag, but its broke auto-brightness, and the launcher does not rotate. Everything else does tho... Can you make it happen?
EDIT: Actually seems to have reduced lag. Although, could be pseudo, or a reboot effect
EDIT 2: I have an i9000! Ignore my broken autobrightness

Haven't been running the virtual buttons to know about the bugs you are talking about, I'm going to flash the purple theme that I'm about to upload and take a look.
Do you think there is anyway you could switch the option to unlock to camera to a unlock to messaging on the lockscreen? And looking forward to the purple theme!

This theme is for rbrucemtl's 'Fusion!ROM2.2', but currently only 5.1 and lower (although not tested on all of them). So will not work on the latest version. I do not plan on updating it, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions of this ROM. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
For you 'FroydVillain' users Alex over at www.villainrom.co.uk has ported this over - http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=2627
All, bar a few of the images have been ported from the Galaxy S ROM. There are a couple of my own minor additions in there also. They have all been resized and 9.png'd so took some time to get them right.
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing and I am not planning on updating it further as what I have is enough for me, but If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest
So... attached will give you a rough idea of what is themed. I have also themed the Desk Clock, and included modified notification icons for the Market and Messaging apps. I haven't included the icons you'll see for the apps, as haven't had a chance to update them all so thought better to leave them all out rather than have them half complete. However, I can suggest the 'Gala S' theme for 'ADW Launcher'. That will theme all the apps to the Galaxy S icons.
To achieve the look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'Hero-GalaxyS-0.1.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or the CM Settings:
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then as you will see in the screen shots I am using the 'TouchWiz' Launcher. I have not included this but you can obtain it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735632. All credit to the guys who made that possible. It runs very smooth and is actually pretty damn good.
Please note: Samsung Widgets are not included.
Enjoy! ...and don't blame me if it breaks your phone. You should know how to nandroid by now.

Notes for Hero-GalaxyS
Not working for CM6 Nightly. loop boot.
Hmmm, I guess the framework is not transparent across all 2.2 ROMs. I have updated the thread to specify that this now only be for 'Fusion!ROM2.2' as that is what I am using it on and have not tested it on any other.
looks a greatheme, but boot loops on froyodvillain, hopefully some one can port this to it as i really want this theme.
Awweessoommee I will try on CM Nightly just incase it was the guy ^^above^^ that just had problems with it if not is it alright if i try porting it ?? oh and wow didt know it was possible to make the icons background on hero
EDIT: oh and which launcher do i need to use from the link?? the i9000 or the i5800 ??
EDIT2oohh i just remebered i made some status bar mods for galaxy s but could never try them out because i dont have the phone :L
EDIT3:Confirmed boot loop on nightly build :/

I think it's due to the framework, although both are 2.2 ROMs some of the devs modify certain files in there or they differ from they way it's built. So the theme would have to be made for each ROM. Sucks really.
On another note, it doesn't really work that well on FryodVillain as for some reason they have removed the options to change the text colour of the Clock, Date etc... so you just end up with a black clock in the task bar and some black text in the pull down menu. I'm not sure why they did that. I guess to make it as less like CM as possible :S

Both the i9000 and i5800 work fine on the Hero. Although the i5800 has a better fit on the icons and text in the app drawer. Both have the same features, so it's what you prefer really.
It will prob boot loop on any CM at the mo. I think once a final version comes out it'll be much easier to get a theme ready for any ROM, but in their current states, with constant updates it's difficult to keep up
Still the files are there ready to play with for anyone who may want to.
Sweet Thanks

i don't think it matters which nightly you theme because cynageon i dont think changes any of the framework so you wont need to keep updating the theme evry night when theres a new one :L
*Sorry i have had 3 posts of just me*
lol, that's cool.
With regards to the Lockscreen, I am not sure that can work either as it integrates with other Samsung apps, Phone, Messaging etc. However, as of yet I can't even find where it is in the ROM dump . If you get anywhere with it or the widgets let me know
Hope you dont mind, but ive asked on villain rom if anyone can convert it fo froyodvillian.

No not at all
I did originally do a version for FroydVillain, but they have not included the CM options to change the colours of the Clock, Date etc... so with the dark notification bar it looks a bit odd, not so much for the date but the clock looks like a blank space. Maybe someone there can edit the relevant xml file to change it or find a way to add in the CM Settings into the ROM.
UPDATED for the latest cog 2.3b3-its the last attachment(marked as 23b3) make sure you download the version that you are running or it will cause problems. Changed the circle batt in this version to the normal smooth green circle instead of the one shown. i think it matches a little better
Updated to work with Cog-2.3B-make sure you download the right one. The second attachment with 23b2 at the end is (obviously) for Cognition 2.3B2
The first attachment with no version at the end of the file name is for those who havent upgraded and are still on the older cog B9.
Im using a custom boot animation that matches this theme pretty well. It is the first one in this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
Just got done making this theme for the captivate. This is a pretty full theme, also includes evo black bar, circle batt, and a nice notification pull down.
Its compatible with any cognition with the extended power options but the most recent 9.1.3 was the framework that was modified.
This took forever to finally finish.
Just put this on your internal SD and flash with clockwork. Will not wipe anything.
*Just fixed the icons in the power menu(airplane & silent)*
credit to DG for the rom this goes to
credit to fightspit for the circle battery
credit goes to faster3200 for a lot of the original images.
Looks nice! I'd love to try it out but I'm firmly of the belief that if it ain't broke don't fix it. I won't be messing with my phone again til something serious happens.
looks good. gonna backup and test it out
Love this man, get it working for DocRambone's v7 JPO rom too if it's possible
I like the looks of this better then any other theme so far.
Nicely done just did it to try it out worked perfectly

did you try rebooting or anything. its really just modifying the images in framework file, all the other files(even the xml's) in the framework folder are exactly the same.
the only reason i say that is because i have 2 captivates, and every once in a while its like there stuck. sometimes its when going from wifi to 3g and sometimes its just
random and cycling airplane mode will fix it if not then a reboot does.

Looks great man!
Post a pic of the notification drawer, please
I guess, by my request. This is the one that I was hoping that could be updated with the 5 lock screens and the time mods.
UPDATE 9/3/11 - I have all the extras discussed added and the layout straight (I hope). There is now just a single zip attached that should be good to go. I would rather not add more functions at this time, as there are other projects I need to finish (ROMs, Power Widgets, 6-bar signal, etc., etc...)
Hi all. In the process of creating my upcoming Magnolia ROM for the Incredible based on the new official GB update, I managed to activate the quick settings tab in the notifications pull down bar. I haven't seen this anywhere else, so I thought I'd share with everyone so we can get more ROMs cooking off the official GB update.
This is just the stock SystemUI.apk with the quick settings tab activated (including the standard "extras" like brightness and media volume) and the GPS reticle hidden. No other changes have been made. Devs feel free to grab this and mod as you wish.
Just copy the zip file to your sdcard and flash as usual. As always, please backup first, and you flash this mod entirely at your own risk. If you want things rearranged or functions added, etc., please feel free to ask your favorite dev. I need to move onto some other stuff.....
Steve
Thanks Steve!! I spent most of yesterday trying to activate them with no luck. I can't wait to see what I was missing. Great work!!
Edit: I also confirm that after flashing your zip, they're working perfectly.
Like a boss! That's awesome man, very impressive. Without having to dig through the entire apk could you let us know which xml you had to edit or how you managed to achieve this? It was so elusive for me lol.
Hey, now we've got a chance to get everybody back on Sense 1.0 roms.

I'm on McSenseless and when I pull the notification bar down there no tabs at the bottom? Hmmm
Is this because sense UI has been deleted and replaced with LauncherPro?

Worked great on my custom gingersense Rom. Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to add a few quicksettings like silent, vibrate and the such, or is this something a dev needs to do? I will be going to McSense as soon as these are implemented.
Worked great, I just used UOT on the file, mixed it up with Liberation 2.0 Beta 5, a new set of battery icons, and green overscroll. Now I just need one with Brightness, Rotation Lock, and screen timeout!
Thanks for the hard work, very appreciated!

Hey guys,
Since a couple of us are looking for this mod, I decided to give it a go myself. I found this post to help - although it's for the Touchwiz launchers, I figured it could be adapted to ours as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=27433971
I found similar settings in our home.apk and modified them, however upon uploading the modified home.apk, nothing changed. I tried making several edits, none of which actually changed something visible on the screen. I went as far as completely erasing the home.apk from the phone - still it was somehow being used as the default launcher, which has me believing that another file is used as the launcher. I used system\app\home.apk. Maybe someone with some more knowledge can shed some light on this so we can get this mod going?

Hey gregbradley,
Just finished testing. The modified Home.apk is based on the pre-installed V6.0.2A.0.13 of the apk. I've created a 5x4 version for 6.1.A.0.5 as well - attached below. Small install instruction - if you haven't installed 6.1.A.0.5 yet, do so first. Copy this file into data\app. It's not needed to have the modified Home.apk installed, if you already have though, you can simply install the update and copy this file into the right place for it to work.
Modification for both versions are the same: decompile, inside res\values-sw360dp\ you'll find 3 files, 2 which need editing:
- integers.xml needs 2 be modified to include the following code:
<integer name="desktop_grid_columns">4</integer>
<integer name="desktop_grid_rows">5</integer>

- dimens.xml has the following line, value changed from 113.0 to 90:
<dimen name="desktop_cell_height_port">90dip</dimen>

That's all that I changed so far. Tons of different values that can be changed as well but since I'm at work I have limited time to mess with that at the moment.
Many thanks, but it doesn't look good in landscape mode. Maybe something needs working on there...
Do you have a stock version of that file, like a noob I didn't make a copy of the stock one..thanks
EDIT Don't worry, I restored the data partition of a backup
But it might be good to upload a stock version for those that use the landscape layout and want to go back..

Ohhh sorry I did not touch landscape mode, takes a few minutes to fix so I'll have a corrected version up in a bit (just let me wolf down this fried rice first ).
One of the reasons why I haven't touched landscape is because I don't use it myself. In fact, I'm not even sure how to enable that as mine locks in portrait mode on the homescreen.

you can use xposed additions module to enable "Global user rotation" which allows all apps to rotate, Then when I use my power jacket or dock I get a rotated homescreen.

Got the phone in landscape mode now. Question though - the reason I never use my homescreen in landscape is because it messes up the dimensions of the screen. Either you keep the 5x4 layout, get very cramped/stretched icons/widgets, or you change it to 4x5 which is much more logic, but then your apps/ widgets will end up getting all messed up with the bottom row being removed. Since you use your phone in landscape, which of the 2 has your preference..?

In the screenshot you've got it as a 4x4 landscape grid. Would you prefer that over a 4x5 one? Right now I've got a working 4x5 one, let me know which one you like better.

Thought so so I was already working on it - try this one.
That has the same problem.
But also when you move back to portrait after being in landscape everything is screwed up.
EDIT
Don't worry about it tonight, I am watching football now anyway, but its something to look at in the future..
