I wanna be a small help to the XDA LG Thrill Community by theming apps and such.
But I have yet to figure out.......how do I edit the theme and color of an .apk or App?
If someone could easily explanation this fast, I could have good themes up in. No time!

Thrill 4g on O3D
Appreciated, I made a small source Themed Music app all from my phone, go to Apps & Themes and check it out.

I'm gonna start trying my hand in porting, i just dont know which theme to start with.
I was thinking about White Chrome from the i9000 forums, but i dont even know if its compatible.
it would be for sc2.9.2.
opinions please!
and if any of the themers would like to give me the ok to pm them if i get stuck with something, that would be awesome. i dont want to feel like im bugging all you guys haha
You dont know if its compatible? Of course its not. When you port a theme, you make it compatable.
You can pm me if you need any tips.
Hopefully you can talk with nitsuj17 he is very experienced.
White Chrome is dope, good luck with the port.
My advice would be to download an existing fascinate theme/framework and compare it to the theme you like and want to port...galaxy s themes are pretty close to ours (well gingerbread rom themes are a tad more difficult with systemui.apk) so just look through the drawable-hdpi folders and see what's different

well i know im making it compatible, i had just heard there was something with TW roms vs aosp and stuff, and if i ported an aosp theme for a tw rom, i thought things might go bad.

i would recommend using sbrissens 6 lock mods as a base or stock frameworks from roms...when working with already themed frameworks ur carrying over their xml edits/image/framework changes too
and always remember to credit
yeah haha I read your ettiqute (sp) in your guide. so if I download sbrissens mods, and there will be modded frameworks in there and I can just put the image files that I am porting into that framework?

The best way to pick something to work on is find one that YOU like. Then all the aggravation can be worth it if its something you will want to personally use.

I know there are a load of requests building...
One in particular I cant help but mention is the lg messaging and contacts,phone,dialer, and the calander apps are annoying...
I know that there are alternative apps in the market but I was hiping for the legit google stock apps if possible...
I guess what im asking is whether somebody wants to cook them into a thrill rom...
Or if anybody knkws how to replace the lg ui ones with the regular android ones... any way at all. Would be awesome...

i want to try editing the apk's themselves and retheming them... but i havent any tools to edit the xml in them yet.. so i can change things like font colors.... so i would rather replace them with the tried and true original GAPPS...
I plan on theming these apps in my rom. Just haven't got around to it yet.
You do it through editing their individual apk's?

I actually like the thrill dialer better than the gapps one, but everything else is MUCH better as gapps.

In this case, yes. In stock Android many parts of these apps are themed by editing system wide images in framework, but unfortunately most of LG's apps are self contained in regards to the themes. I have already themed most of the framework in my ROM yet not much within LG's apps like the calendar, phone, dialer, etc. has changed. I will have to go through each app one by one and theme them. You could try pulling AOSP variants of Calendar and Mms to replace the LG apps, but there will likely be some bugs. You definitely can't just replace the phone and dialer apps because those are heavily integrated with the system.
Yeah I figured... I dont know how your planning on theming them to match your rom... But im gonna theme em to try and match aosp... As best as possible... Gonna take some time... Haha... Theming is so time draining... Haha

Tell me about it. Theming takes forever. Especially if you want to make it look good.
my reputation... Or whatever is left of it came from the windows mobile days... I skinned any program with the resources or xml... I got very good at having an eye for what looks good... But like you said once you know what looks good... To take your time and make it happen... Takes hourz of work... I dont think ppl realize what a drain of time it is... They just make requests... After requests and wonder why they aren t released yet... Lol...
Anywho... Tryin to start building a rep for android theming now that I have a real android device... Haha need to get eclipse to do xml though...

In case anyone needs any ideas for a theme, I've been missing the theme that I had on my moto droid. It was the themed version of simply stunning 5.1. It looked substantially like the gingerbread theme that is current on Revolt 1.5, but the color scheme was blue and silver/gray.
If anyone wants to make this (preferably so that it's compatible with mtmichaelson's revolt 1.5 rom), I would be greatly appreciative, and would not hesitate to donate some beer money =D
I actually thought about doing this right after I got done with Iconic Revolted. Iconic Revolted is already a blue and silver theme. I used to be a "beta tester" for ChevyNo1 so I'll ask him if I can use his theme and see what he says. If he says it's ok then I'll jump on it sometime tonight.
That would be fantastic. I tried out your iconic theme, but I wasn't too big on the icons in the status bar - I've become too used to the smaller GB stock icons.
Anyway, thanks so much for all the work!
Better themes please
I just put red revolt on, and I love it ... just wish they would add a clear status bar ... I think he said he was working on that

I hate all these themes that are coming out, I had the coolest themes on my moto droid...could we possibly make a theme chooser and be able to use the themes from jrummy? I miss the clear status bar and the solid green battery with no battery precentages. (Im not picky/high maintance)

Forgive my ignorance but what is MIUI? I've seen it mentioned several times lately but nothing in a context that indicated its meaning.
Appreciate whoever takes the time to educate me, or provide a link to educate myself. I googled it and searched the market but nothing I saw really gave me a good summary.
And to be even more needy... I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX, so if someone could give a brief comparison of the launcher in this thread and ADW that would be awesome... It'll be hard to give up Hicks's themes.
