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!
is there a miui theme? I have found a few miui roms that can have a theme applied, but have not found a theme that would make the stock dhd look a bit like miui.
dont even know if it is possible. I have a new dhd don't want to invalidate the warranty just yet so don't want to start flashing roms can anybody point me in the right direction.
I think I am on about skins rather than themes
If you're on CM7, try looking for a theme called ElegantSteel. I was using that along with GO Launcher and the Classic theme for it on my Wildfire. It's not MIUI, but it's not Sense or Vanilla and not a far cry from MIUI either.
Haven't tried seeing if they work on the DHD yet though but my guess is that it should considering the theme was originally hdpi.
Good thinking batman
Hello guys,
I have a small question. I would like to create a theme for CM7 theme chooser, but I haven't found over the internet what happens if I modded an app, and I need to replace the resources.arsc? is the CM7 theme engine able to replace the resources.arsc also?
I hope I made myself clear
I just want to know if I can make CM7 theme engine to support resources.arsc
Thank you for your time and I am sorry if I posted in the wrong section!
Bump because I really want to see your theme on CM7. Love the rom it just isn't very eye appealing.
I want to ported but I have a limited time: only 1 month, after that I will get a job and no more deving. (at least for 2-3 months).
I have started looking into CM theming and making some steps, but I can't tell you any ETA
Take your time. I'm surprised nobody has ported your theme over by now. You have the most professional theme out there.
hope you get it done at some point definitely the most professional theme out there
Wondering where all the EH09 themes are at? Do the ED05 themes work on EH09? Are the devs porting themes and just not there yet? Just would like to know, thx.
All themers, please keep up the amazing work.
Most of the people that themed before have moved on to different devices. And a bulk of current users are running mtd roms (VGB, CM7, and MIUI) that include theme engines that have a vast array of theme choices available. I myself run pool party and have the one and only theme released for it. I'm surprised myself that someone that may have been teaching themself to theme hasn't poped up with a release for any touch wiz roms. But notta seems to be the only person posting anything for touch wiz.
And to answer your question since themes incleude rom specific frameworks. It would be a very bad idea to inject froyo frameworks into your gingerbread rom (it won't boot).
good day.
What he said ^^^ Please don't try to flash an ED05 theme onto EH09! Some themes should pop up in a few weeks...
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
There's a well written theme guide here and in the Mesmerize theme section. Go for it!
Hey guys I just wanted to share my ideas for the t-mobile theme Chooser in cm7 roms.
Basically I have this idea of letting the user choose some aspects of a theme they want and do not want.
Say you like the statusbar from this theme, but you don't like the looks of the icons, this would make it so that you could choose the icons from another theme without the hassle of always going on a PC and moving stuff with 7zip.
It would also be cool if it was possible to easily change the colors of some elements like the fonts, bgcolor, highlights and other stuff.
I just wanted to share this in case any of the devs would is interested in making this happen, or is it even possible? I find no reason for it not to be. I heard it was in MiUi(hence the title) although I can't be so sure since I've never used MiUi.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this, I just couldn't find a thread about it.
Well, thanks for your time

As MIUI are going open source there is no reason why CM9 may actually include the MIUI theme system the same way the CM team implemented Theme Chooser when it was open sourced by T-Mobile.
Although Cyanogen Mod feature suggestions may be more likely to be seen by a dev on their own forums.

It is old news. So far the ROM elements are not released, but they will be soon.

So far, hasn't MIUI just made their Apps open source?
That's cool, but would the MiUi theme engine work well with legacy devices?
