Hello XDA,
This is my first time releasing anything so I'm pretty exited. With that said please forgive anything I've omitted in said excitement.
I used to use RetroDroid by nhnt11 on CM7 because...well I really like the idea of running a custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI and disguising it as AOSP 2.2 . Looking around I did not see any themes for MIUI for doing so, so....here we are. I don't know if anyone else will be interested in such, but I made it so I decided to share it
I use the term "made" very, very, loosely. I based most of the images from 2.2 ROM dumps and various sources about the internet. Like many I'm not positive of the origin of all the images I used, and while I'll do my best to give credit where credit is due I'm sure I'll forget something. So, if you see your stuff and want credit or want it gone please let me know.
Consider this a "beta" theme. Haha...I know right a beta theme... I still have a LOT to do. Partly because I'm still learning, partly because I only themed what my phone uses for now. I only have one phone to test it with (incredible, official 2.3MIUI) so if your interested in using it and somethings not working right (or you just have suggestions) let me know. I'll be using this myself, and will be working on it as often as possible but randomly and with no obvious pattern to updates.
Thanks goes out to;
Джаггернаут over at miui.us for great guide to theming MIUI
nhnt11 for the inspiration
the MIUI devs that work so hard to bring us awsome ROMs
Google and all their devs for making an awsome OS and constantly improving on there UI design
probably somone else...
Screenshots or it didn't happen? Well, check this post's attachments!
So whats themed so far?
Launcher2
Music*
Messaging*
Gmail*
Framework
SystemUI
Lockscreen
Icons
*here because they're in there, but not much is done
That's it for now.
There's nothing a MIUI theme can do to harm your phone, but...If it does its not my fault. Period.
Downloads?.....you actually want do download it??
Current: ---> Version 104
Old:
*Version 1.03
Version 1.02
Version .01

V1.04
Added more notification images
Lock-screen music controls added (auto show / hide) (kanged from suave - I did NOT make them, just modded to match the froyo theme and incorporated them into the LS)
V1.03
Added more systemUI stuff including but not limited to a new pull-down grabby thingy(my first EVER .9 pngs, man was that fun)
Launcher2 mods added - started modding the music widget, new folder icons and in folder image. (Planning on trying to mod any widgets I can to match the geniewidget/powerwidget)
Super cool text color changes to go along with a new in folder image (thanks bsbabcock for pointing that out. There's a lot more inconstancy with text colors like that and I can use all the help I ca get finding them all.)
Some more stuff I'm forgetting
Reverted some framework stuff that was causing issues
V1.02
Added some framework.
Tweaked various systemUI icons and added a bunch of new ones.
Added wifi icon, 1% battery icon, bunches of notification icons, some are still missing or with placeholders though.
Cleaned up most of the placeholder icons i kanged from other mtz's.
Made a new dock from scratch - the stretched hacked stock froyo one was bugging me.

Initial release
Press thanks bro?
Nice theme return me to Froyo time.
Normally don't respond in theme threads, but just had to in this one amazing work and keep it going.
Nice, thanks ! I'll give it a try later
Glad to see there's at least a couple people interested in nostalgia. I'll be back and forth from the computer today but I'l be working on finishing up the status bar (wifi, numbered battery, notifications and maybe some more data connectivity icons) let me know if you guys see anything glaring you'd like prioritized.
You make me so happy.... My G1 is definitely missed
Update coming later today with 1% battery option(my gosh that took forever to make - and yes, I mean make), wifi icon, themed framework, lots of sysUI additions, and some stuff I'm forgetting.

You should add Droid Sans in to give this that polished look Great work!
memories coming back now
Nice theme. I gotta admit I really liked plain Froyo.
A couple quick observations. I suggest white text title on folders, and somehow more contrast/visibility of toggles. The meizu themes are a good example of highly visible toggles. Appears to have the makings of a very sharp (light) theme. Good work.

I went to Miui for this Theme... T'WAS WORTH IT! I was complaining to my girlfriend the other day about how there weren't any RetroAndroid Themes! My dream? A miui 8-Bit theme! maybe i need to learn to theme..
This looks good, Im gonna give it a try. Thanks!

Call me picky but, I just couldn't seem to find a theme that I really liked. Android 2.0 comes close but I liked the red of the blur ROM - so, wanting a red-ish theme and a smaller app drawer at the bottom, I decided to make my own theme.
I also seem to be a bit of a rarity in that in the main, I actually like the default status bar icons so I don't feel it necessary to make the battery round or android shaped or anything. So, on mine, the battery looks like a battery...I dunno, seemed kinda logical to me ;-) I added a little touch of colour to some of them but nothing OTT I don't think (I really like my 3G activity icon now - reminds me of an old modem with status LED's
There are a couple of things that I pinched out of other people's ROMs (gmail icon from djengiz), widget background from ZilverZurfarn's melange theme but most of it has either been replaced or re-coloured by me
Thanks to everyone I've nicked stuff from and anyone else I haven't "credited".
And, of course, a big thanks to Cyanogen for his awesome ROMs
It runs OK for me - I've only got a G1 so use it on anything else at your own risk.
Guarantees :
1) I will mysteriously disappear should this break everyone's phones.
2) I probably can't fix it if it doesn't work (mention it anyway though)
3) That it will not work on your Nokia N95
4) Or your Sony Ericsson C905
5) That I've not finished tweaking it
Todo list:
=======
*** Status bar background - re-thinking the brushed metal look - let me know what you think about this
*** Power widget background (still using ZilverZurfarn's but want to get my own there ASAP)
* Browser link shortcut icon needs re-colouring (forgot for this one)
** Analogue Clock Widget
* App drawer handle needs "tidying" - I'm not as happy as i could be with it
Hope you like it - let me know how it works out for you.

Update to 4.2.5
============
I've re-done most, if not all of the icons that I just pinched from the blur ROM and I've been a bit more selective of the stuff that I've recoloured as I thought it was looking a little too dark previously. I've also taken out a lot of the un-used png's that have been hanging around as the ROMs have developed.
I initially used the Android 2.0 theme as a template for mine and there were a few files in there that could come out and some from the blur ROM that I'd copied over and weren't used on the G1. Oh, and I've also deleted all thumbs.db files in all my drawables folders - so it should be a little smaller now and putting less un-needed crap on your phones.
I've been using this myself for a couple of days now and not had any FCs at all so I think you're good to go
Theme-porn follows:
I do love the design of the power widget, I may have to steal that for my alienaqua theme, it has similar colors.
Really nice choice of colors, great job on this and reading the post made me laugh. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.
This looks real stylish.
A lot of nice details and as prash said: the power widget is beautiful.
that lock screen is sick. one of the best i have seen !
Edit: just realised it was from the 2.0 theme lol. but nice the anyways
hey what lockscreen is that?
I just downloaded this theme, and the app drawer tab for me is still the same as cyanogen's stock one that he had and not like the android 2.0 type tab you have in the screenshots. any thoughts on how to get it to look like that?
It includes both the Advanced Launcher and the standard one - if when you press the home key, it doesn't give you the choice, use the application manager to remove the default setting (you can switch back if you don't like it).
I originally wasn't going to used the advanced launcher but it is much more stable these days and I haven't had any problems or slow down with it.
It's the only one of the two that I have skinned so far - I will update it in the next day or two so that they are both skinned
Thanks for the positive comments everyone This was only something I was doing for myself but like someone mentioned above, it's in the details and I wasn't happy with only doing a few bits and pieces so I went further and reached a point where I was happy to share it with others.
There's still a few things I want to do yet but I'm having the weekend off and will get back to it on Monday
If it i can leave it alone for that long... ;-)
Cheers,
Smiffy.
great looking theme!
lockscreen looks good but dont function nicely
I am not too crazy about the red but otherwise this is a really good looking theme. It's very fast and stable.. no force closes or other crashes yet. Great work!
I just installed this theme over CyanMod 4.2.4. It works well with no issues so far.
Well, there's a few new icons in 4.2.4 so I've updated my theme and played with a lot of the new stuff.
It's working OK for me with no FCs but caveat emptor and all that...
Thanks for all the positive comments. I've also gone back to the standard lock screen for the time being - as much as I didn't care about the stretching issue in landscape, I wasn't overly happy about nicking someone else's work so I may do my own in the near future.
Might not though so don't hold your breath or anything - in fact, I actually like this standard one...we'll see.
Oh, and about the analogue clock - I'm going to make it slightly darker but not do much more than that to it - do people even use it?
Cheers,
Smiffy.

I was looking at this today! wow.. Heh Interesting.. Can i help out? i'm a good beta tester? Some technical experience. ~Not a whole lot~
looks good especiallly the dialer. are you using ddms for the screenshots, cuz those look worse than usual...
have you integrated the hero clock yet?
btw, i don't really fancy the enoch font...
edit: i looked at your other themes, and their screenshots, and theyre all like that and different sizes... LOL how does that happen...
BUT I love the theme, obviously it would look normal on the phone, thats what matters
can i beta test?
I really like how you themed the dialer, espicially the shape of the box that shows the numbers you have dialed.
Also I am a big fan of that shade of blue for highlighted objects.
Atlantis FTW
i assume he is referencing the curve at the end of the dialer bar where it looks more blunt instead of rounded.
i have noticed when you upload screenshots to xda and then put them in the post from being on xda they usually look odd like that.
easiest way to fix those images that are posted is to upload them through tinypic.com and then enclose them within the
man ...could it be the bug in the dialer is caused from the transparency?
BTW, don't waste time fixxin it, i'm makin a concept for eclair's dialer!
EDIT: Added dialer inc oncept: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5073549#post5073549
Also, could u make an advanced launcher skin?

I'll work in that new dialer concept you added and yes I'll also work in an Advanced Launcher skin.
easiest way to fix those images that are posted is to upload them through tinypic.com and then enclose them within the box parameters. that's how i've done it and ive never had the problems. my only other guess is if they actually look like that in your theme, then you forgot to edit the .9 pngs correctly. [/quote]
Yes thats the problem. When I edited the rounded part for the right side of the textfield for the dialer, it came out just fine but for that right side, well, you can see the results. I followed the same steps as the left but I screwed it somewhere so I am going to go back and step by step re-work that entire part going through Eclipse and draw9patch (with instructions) like a noob.
[quote]can i beta test?[/quote]
Sure but once I at least fix that part of the dialer. That (and now adding the new dialer concept from Kryogen) is the only thing preventing me from an initial release.
[quote]looks good especiallly the dialer. are you using ddms for the screenshots, cuz those look worse than usual...
have you integrated the hero clock yet?[/quote]
Yes I am using DDMS and I cant figure out for the life of me why different screenshots from the same device come up different sizes and blurry like that.

download droid explorer. it will take perfect screenshots for you and allow you to do many more things . also, if you want help with learning how to fix that image, i'd be more than happy to help.
I know exactly what's wrong with the dialer textfield, I had that same problem before It's with the .9.png for it, you have to edit it to start stretching AFTER the curved edges.
Hey I'll beta without the dialer? I really dont need it because i have a different one i can just push over it? [email protected]! or [email protected]

SK-ROM Beta 0.3
This beta is now closed, as I am about to launch Magnolia RC1, the first release candidate for this ROM. Thanks to all who have tried out the ROm for their support and input.
Steve
ROM Features:
Based on stock HTC Sense/Froyo OTA v3.26.605.
Uses latest stock HTC kernel to help alleviate battery drain.
"Matte" Sense UI. I completely redid all "shiny" elements of the Sense UI (including green highlights), status bar and HTC apps to make then smoother, more refined and professional looking (IMHO).
Added notification pulldown power widgets, custom skinned by me. Thanks to |||bored|||, dopeshiziot and JSCHiSurf for this.
Apps softkey (left softkey) is mapped to Maxim's AppFolders, a fully customizable app drawer that I have come to depend on, since I first saw it implemented in deficitism's Uncommon Sense. A BIG nod to deficitism for both the idea and the tools to figure out how to do this.
Right softkey mapped to browser (will consider other mappings if there is interest). Thanks to JsChiSurf for the tools to learn how this is done.
Added battery percentage mod and smooth sense icons. Thanks to jercik for these.
Added 6-Bar signal meter. Thanks to deficitism for the tools to learn how this is done.
3-in-1 power menu (reboot option) by snq-
Replaced HTC Car Panel with Google CarHome.
Transparent clock background (flip from HD, for now...) and settings/profile widget backgrounds. Props to HeyItsLou for the inspiration for these.
Made the lockscreen and rosie navbar transparent, and the statusbar pulldown semi-transparent. Thanks to shoey-n for the services.jar mod to allow this.
Slight graphical mods to dialer to make it easier to see and use (IMHO).
All framework and resources images were compressed and optimized to maximize RAM.
Statusbar clock, alarm, debugging and location icons are hidden by default. I have attached Zip files to post #3 to add these back, if desired. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom for the tutorial on how to do this.
Removed what seems to be agreed upon as bloat from the ROM (e.g., Vcast, Footprints, etc.). Other quasi-bloat apps (e.g., VZWBAC, Quickoffice) are in data/app/ and can be uninstalled.
Blue spinning android boot animation from Natemz over at androidcentral.com.
ROM is fully deodexed, zipaligned and rooted.
More...
Known Bugs
For some reason the newest Gmail (2.3.2) won't intall over the version included in Beta 0.3 I posted earlier. Seems that this is not an uncommon problem with various ROMs. I have, as of 11:30 PM EST 12/12/10, uploaded the fixed ROM with the latest Gmail (same download link as before). So, if you are new to the ROM, no worries, the latest version is included. If you already have v0.3 installed, many apologies, but you will need to reflash if you want to have Gmail 2.3.2.
----------------
I have been a member of XDA for a long time, and I recently switched from WM to Android. I have been messing around with some ROMs for my own use over the past month or so, and figured it was time to release a ROM into the wild in hopes that the community can help me make it into something on a higher plane than I can do on my own.
The ROM is based on the stock HTC Sense/Froyo OTA v3.26.605.1 that I pulled from the always excellent virtuousrom.com. By painstakingly analyzing what the wonderful devs on this site have been up to via countless "diff" commands and analyzing smali files until my eyes hurt, I rebuilt/modded the ROMs framework and apps to make the ROM I have been looking for.
I want to state that, while I did my own coding/theming and implemented the features of this ROM slightly differently than the devs I learned them from, I owe ALL of this ROM to those devs' hard work an ingenuity. All I did was learn what they were doing and figure out how to make it work the way I wanted.
I also want to note again that I am very new to cooking (have been a themer mostly) and this ROM is BETA. While I have found it to be stable for my own personal use, I cannot say it will be for you. Therefore, download and flash at your own risk, for I take NO responsibility for what happens to your phone if you install this ROM.
Again, I want to state that I owe all of the devs listed above for their hard work and ingenuity, without which I would not know how to do any of this. If anyone believes I have not credited someone I should have, please shoot me a PM and I will correct my error. Similarly, if I have unintentionally violated acceptable etiquette in any way, please let me know via PM, and I will try to fix the problem.
Install by downloading the ROM to your SD card (or copy it there from PC) and rebooting into recovery, WIPING data and cache (I wipe dalvik cache, as well) and selecting the "install from sdcard" option. It takes a while on the first bootup, so please be patient.
**NB- there have been extensive changes to the framework in version 0.3, so I recommend a full wipe, even if you have 0.2 installed.**
Please enjoy, and I hope to receive your feedback, help and ideas for improvement. I believe this will be the last beta before RC1, unless there is something I am missing
Steve
Changelog
Beta v0.3
I plan this to be the last beta before releasing RC1 under a new, better name. So, please, any bug reports, comments are welcome. Thanks.
Added custom skinned status/notification bar power control widgets. Credits in 1st post.
replaced Ziggy's kernel with latest HTC stock kernel. Didn't feel performance bump was worth battery drain.
Fixed 6-bar signal being limited to only 4-bars. Thanks to |||bored||| for reminding me of this.
Many small framework and resources tweaks.
Beta v0.2
Fixed sync notification animation
Added 6-bar signal meter
Added data/app functionality to allow for uninstalling some apps that might be considered bloat.
Updated gapps.
Added Zip files to post #3 to allow customization of icons shown in status bar.
Reserved
OK. Sorry for the wait. The status bar icon show/hide files are now attached. I tested each briefly, so they should be fine, but nandroid before flashing, just in case.
Steve
nice to have you over on our side, any chance of getting that wallpaper?
@mothy
Here you go...
Wow! This looks great! Amazing features for a beta at V 0.1 haha. I'm definitely gonna switch from the latest skyraider to this. Thanks for the hard work on this man! Hope to see you around more, hopefully updating this thing of beauty with even more features!
I'm stoked to try this out!! I can't download it from my phone for some reason tho. Can you put a mirror up?
Are there any known bugs?
love the matte look.. will keep an eye on this. how does the call answer lock look like? is it matte also or transparent? any plans on implementing the 6 signal bar? and could you elaborate on the easier to use dialer?

The only "bug" I know is that the animated sync icon isn't working yet. I am sure some will come up, though, as I haven't used every app/feature of the phone.

Yep. I am just getting into the services.jar files to see how this is done. Hopefully in a few days I will have it. I would like to learn how it works rather than just copy it over from someone else.

As to the call answer, it's transparent. I was toying with replacing the android guy, but couldn't settle on a picture.
As to the dialer mod, it's just a graphical mod to make the keys and dialing text easier to read. Sorry, should have been clearer...

So far this rom is running great! One minor gripe, about 50% of the time when I unlock the phone, I get the "Sorry, android.mms.apk has force closed" or whatever. I'm sure it can easily be fixed with a patch though, because I've seen a bunch of other MMS fixes on lots of other peoples roms. Other than that this rom is fluid, fast, and very easy on the eyes. Love it.
Is Visual Voice Mail removed from this? I know some people consider it bloat, I consider it essential.
I have been running it for two hours now - working great!
It does have VVM. I use it, too.
As the the mms force close, I have also seen this on other ROM threads, hasn't happened to me on this one, though. Will work on a fix tomorrow. Thanks for pointing that out.

As to the MMS FC issue, may I ask a few questions: Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery? Did you use Titanium backup to restore your text messages? Have you ever had apps installed on your SD card?
Thanks!

I've never used titanium back up, I've never had apps installed on my sd card, but no i have not tried fixing permissions.
It only did it for the first day or so. It's perfectly fine now. I'll try fixing permissions though.
*UPDATE!! With ED01 being released , i am trying to make sure this theme plays as nice as possible . Im having minor mms issues .. but thankfully it seems to only be me with the issues . Working on theming more apps , and maybe a few other goodies .
I now have the blessing from trax26 to port this amazing work. Hats off to that guy. This theme is HUGE and he put in a lot of hours on it . Thanks to jspidah for an awesome base to work off of * Here is the original theme for the i9000: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910918
hey guys , dont know who is interested , but im working on porting this for myself and a few others:

--Music controls now work on Epic,Puzzle,and Glass lockscreens. Rotary and AOSP not yet functional.

This has been tested on SC 2.9 / 2.9.1 and should not cause bricks/bootloops , but as always , flash at your own risk.
thanks guys , and im all ears
i'd try it out. it looks pretty clean although the transitions look a bit choppy imo
you'll probably be able to find the lots of helpful people on irc.. irc.freenode.net, a bunch of themers hang out in #fascinate-themers
thats what i was lookin for was the IRC channel . thanks .

they show up , but they are not working correctly , i use WidgetLocker , so its not quite that big a deal to me . more than happy to work on it so it functions correctly .
Its cuz they don't work with the stock samsung player.
You should just bring the tutorial over here for people that are mostly just interested in the homescreen setups.. works like a charm over AOSP with honeycomb theme .. doesn't look too bad either
im in. let me know if you need me to do any thing. i will flash the theme in a couple of hours. there are still like 3 other themes and one rom i have to flash first(i have a bit of a flash addiction, some might say i have a problem).
oh, if you are not sure if something will brick your phone and dont feel up to a brick let me know. i will flash anything.
Not bad everything works well. I like the messaging app. it's missing... something. maybe some color. Maybe also boot animation. when I get back to a computer I will try and send you a link to the windows boot animation. You did a good job.

Thanks man . Its taking a lot of time . I have the windows boot animation , but I'm making my own for a project I'm working on .
Do you know how to get the download progress bars working in the notification panel ? They just kinda flicker . .. and my glass lockscreen goes apesh*t , not that I ever use that one ..

sorry for the rant.

(1) progress_horizontal.xml (within the drawable folder). Compare yours to one that works correctly.
(2) Make sure you have all the images for it in framework-res.apk. I wouldn't be surprised if that's your problem.

thanks for that .. will definitely be investigating both of those tonight .
Make sure to decompile the framework, if you haven't already, or else the xmls will look like a bunch of gibberish when you open them.

thanks for the heads up ..
You can also just take the progress_horizontal from the original theme and use it.
Home Screen
question: is my home screen supposed to look like WP7? or are you using a home replacement?

Edit: So it's vibrate, silent, better alarm icon... have you got any more?
Edit2: Theme updated
Yey, smali/ baksmali is working now I only need that stupid color code in that stupid format -.-
sent with love from me to you

Ok, i can try (note: TRY) to make a version for 140 dpi. Lol never done this before. Or is there someone here with photoshop experience who could've done it for me? What I need to do is to make a png larger, then crop it back to the same size. That way the stripes in the png will be larger... It is the background behind the icons in pulldown bar.... and it works in 140 dpi, it's just that it looks way better in 160 in my opinion...
Theme updated, added activity_title_bar and some tiny fixes
And for @Lirasina, here you can compare 140 and 160
Edit: oh and I've fixed the unreadable text issue partly :-D and I think I've figured out the rest, hopefully it will be bugfree tomorrow :-D
Edit2: Yeah, it works everything should be readable now Now onto the settings
Any chance this theme can be made for CM7 ROM?
sonnysekhon made one for CM7 but only for HDPI devices which our Hero is unfortunately not.

Check out acheps theme link in the thanks section in op
sent with love from me to you
I got back to VE6.2 just because of this theme. I was using Achep's theme on a GB rom mostly because of the cool ICS look but the lightness of VE with ICS make me turn back
I added a couple of changes on the framework to make the lockscreen look more like ICS, It's just the lockscreen and the icons when you get calls. Here is a zip with the files i pushed into the framework and the customized theme ready to flash, just if someone likes it or you decide to add it to the full theme
Cool, I just found i can't upload nor post links to anywhere, i send you a PM. Anyways here is a screen:
Cool2, i can't post any screens either
By the way, there is a way you can add the old Eclair icons for USB-plug, gmail notifications and so on to be like ICS? that would make the port perfect
And one more thing and I stop biching XD, the blue color of the clock seems to be too bright, it will be more like ICS to have it a little darker.
That's all thanks
Cool! The statusbar icons will be fixed ;-) but the clock isn't part of the theme. Download from market, named ics clock or something
I haven't tested your build, and I don't have till after the weekend. I'm getting up 6 am tomorrow to reach a train. I'm going to Oslo for the cupfinal with my football theme ;-) I won't get home before 7 am at Monday, and then It's strait to school lol :-D
Anyway, here's 7tostas build. I haven't tested it, read his description above ;-) will probably include it in next release, spares me some work
