just some feed back.. eveythings is working great

Would be great if you could include lockscren similar to this
and Advanced Launcher.
It would be perfect with those ^^

I modified only colors and some little things, because i want leave it fast like original, but if many people want it in next days i can try to add advanced launcher and different lockscreen (i don't know if i'm able to do this)

Thank you for the rom. I hope you keep it up in the future. The black is great, and the fact that it is not *really* a theme is even better.
I have been looking for something like this for a very long time.

I like it the way it is.. thanks,
TrOjAn

You could always add advanced launcher and lockscreen as seperate updates......
Otherwise, I really like this one! Thanks!

This is great! i like everything except for the H icon, any way i can change that back to the 3G icon?

I'd also suggest keeping this theme lean & simple. aLauncher and different lockscreens should be available as optional modules.
As it is, this theme really rocks right now.

I like the clock , where did you get this

Looks good, using daily.
Liking this as much as the community hero mix theme that hasnt been updated, love the simple black app tray icon.
Should skin the music/picture frame widget. Awesome none the less.

dude, i'm really diggin' this! Thanks for puttin' this out! It really keeps the speed of the cyan roms, but also gives the green style/highlights I really like! Much appreciation to you!

Hey Nice job man.
I really like the speed of Cyanogens mod and you haven't changed that. Colors are sweet.

I also love the speed of this. Just a few things, would love to have 3g back instead of that weird H. Also if you could skin the music player and maybe change the alarm clock icon in the status bar, not that big of a deal though. Thanks.

perfect.
Thank you! this is exactly what iv'e been looking for. A 'hero'ish look without any of the extras the slow the rom down. I just hope you can keep up with the updates.

Looks like what started as something small that you created to tide you over til the community hero mix update has turned into a liked theme by the XDA members . Now you have to keep progressing with it .

Updated 1st post

the google apps werent modified right? cause those are a pain to restore lol. i love your idea! i always thought android was way to bright on the homescreen aspect(and then too dark on the menus lol) i will flash soon
and btw, will this mess with google maps?
and right now i have only a black notification bar mod, do i need to flash the original cm, then this, or can i just flash this?
andddd this wont mess with the eclair/blur animation right?
thanks!

[Q] Stock/Vanilla icons for Rogers 2.1?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any metamorphs, or any zips that can allow me to change the icons of apps such as: Messages, Phone, etc...
I basically want vanilla Android icons to replace the ones that come stock with Sense UI/Rosie.
Are there any themes or anything like that? I don't mind the black bar, I just hate the way Sense looks
Thanks

New power bar can be easily customized or edited and changed back to rom default.
You can have any amount of toggles up to the amount of 6.
To choose which toggles are in the power bar you need to open up "widget.txt" in a text editor and change the toggles as you wish. widget.txt can be found in /system/customize in the theme zip file.
The following toggles can be used:
toggleAirplane
toggleAutoRotate
toggleBluetooth
toggleBrightness
toggleFlashlight
toggleGPS
toggleLockScreen
toggleMobileData
toggleScreenTimeout
toggleSleepMode
toggleSound
toggleSync
toggleWifi
Default values are:
toggleWifi|toggleBluetooth|toggleGPS|toggleSound|toggleFlashlight|toggleBrightness
After changing them just drag and drop the widget.txt back into the zip and then flash.
Now to change between having the power bar and the stock recent apps you need to edit the "notification_config.txt" which is also in /system/customize
Default is "enablePowerControl"
Simply change to "enableRecentApps" without the quotes to revert back to the recent apps list. (currently this will leave a black bar above the recent app list where the power bar use to be)
Or change to "enablePowerControl|enableRecentApps" to have both power bar and recent apps

Cheers mate.
As soon as it's uploaded I will give it a shot.
Edit: Okay I see it is uploaded now. Just flashing the new 2.0.6 ROM, so will dl this and flash in a few mins.
Thanks again.

This without rosie + modified to screen toggle would be the best ever. Half of it could be done by me, changing text file name :-]. Can it be done on the phone with text manager?

What do you mean? remove rosie.apk?
Modified to screen toggle?

It also brings a lot more sense related stuff, screen toggle.. to turn off auto rotating. Thanks for your contribution by the way

I have not yet looked into this or tested this but I will look into it but if you do want a quick fix just flash 2.0.3 theme and pull blue (liamstears).apk from 2.0.6 and install it or add it to 2.0.3 zip

Applied the quick fix, that's alot better.
Cheers mate.

blue theme
hi there and thanks for the cool theme. One question though...you mention that "New Blue (liamstears) HTC Skin, access from the personalize menu", the problem is I am using Android Revolution 2.0.6 and I only have the choice of current, slate and blackboard themes. Where do I find the blue one?

This could be a 2.0.6 problem
Extract blue (liamstears).apk from my zip and place it on sd card and try to install
please let me know results

Me too (other than the few other Skin's I have downloaded), cant see the liamstears skin either.
Cheers
Edit - Tried above - Application not installed ?

tried to install it with ES File explorer but is kept saying "application not installed"...any other suggestions?

i know what error is i will fix in 24 hours

ok all fixed please re-download and re-flash then all will be working :-D

Cheers, will have a go. It took me nearly 3 hrs to download the last one (much faster this time).
Also, 1 more thing. When I try to modify the .zip file so that I have both the powercontrol & recent apps, the flashing bit falls over. I tried searching the forum on a guide to edit .zip files but came up with nothing.
I was trying to do it just on my PC, but the flash fails ??

Its just a simple drag and drop operation for editing the zip and as for re-download you can just drag and drop the attached apk to the zip you already have to make the process quicker but make sure it goes in the right folder ;-)

Thanks mate.
Skin is working now.
I will try the notification bar edit soon.
Thanks.

[Q] Black on White framework

During the last days, i tried to create a general 'light framework' which changes color from white on black to black on white (like in MIUI or IOS) in System Settings and all Apps which use the standard framework. By 'general' i mean, that the idea is, that this framework could be used in themes or standalone. Anyway, couldn't get it to work until now. As templates i tried to use files from this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228922
Don't get me wrong, i don't want to have an IOS framework, but a general template for a black on white layout.
I know that this question has been asked before, but obviously there is no solution yet. But maybe there's a new chance with the files from the ROM mentioned above.
Any ideas from a more experienced themer than me ?
thanx, lagloose

i am not sure if this means anything to you but there is something like that
http://www.anddev.org/tutorial_ui_themes-t4367.html
and i am really bored from white on black menus, looking for black on white other than miui.

Disable themed icons in CM7 themes?

I found a nice black and white theme but I absolutely loathe themed icons. First of all, since not every single icon is themed (there is always some odd program that does not get themed), second, I'm used to the standard look of icons and when all of them are square and monochrome I can't tell what's what, third and most importantly, when only some are themed and others aren't it just looks like crap.
So, is there some way to use a theme but not have it reskin the icons?
I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't like when themes also change the icons for default programs.

Try using a stock adw theme, like a stock gingerbread theme or something. Thats what I do when I don't like the icons that come with a Cyanogenmod theme.
