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?

yup, images are a good place to start

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.

Yeah i saw that but im looking for something less stock something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070269 but white.
gunnermike also has a White Chrome theme. Definitely not stock looking, and he has tons of icons also. FWIW, I'm using Erebos right now and while it does look fairly stock, it looks more white on the phone than in the screen shots.
There's the Minimal theme as well.

You can always ask gunnermike in his boring aosp thread to see if he can make alternate notification icons. Not saying he will, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Or simply find a framework with the icons you want and use winrar to add them to the framework. Pretty simple to do just the image swaps.

Only thing that kills me about winrar is the thumbs it adds when you transfer a fully edited file folder. That will Bork your apk on compile. I always check each drawable folder for "thumbs"... :-/

Exactly my point, technically I guess you could even use live wallpaper files and themers could create their own custom animations..
As far as battery life, according to the creator its not a battery drain and doesnt consume resources unless you engage the drop down menu....

Nice work! I'm running Crysis, and am myself am trying to come up with some animations that would look sweet with that. Tough one.
I hope at somepoint this leads to pull down widgets... Like sports scores, weather, news or whatever...... But simple animations is a good start and I realize widgets would be a leap but who knows....
I still dont understand what I was doing wrong. Did exactly what the original modder instructed... Aaaaaaa, oh well. Ill try again when I get to my desk top. My laptop died.......

Hi Guys,
It's raining ROMS for the Atrix.
Dorian is in the process of uploading one more GB ROM.
v2 uploading
A lot of things have changed with V2. Here's a short change-log:
Tweaked Google Talk integration w/video. Is now more stable than before, with no noticeable issues.
Tweaked dialer interface. This one is a WIP. I'm attempting to cover all the blur parts that I intend on leaving behind in AOSP theming. It's still perfectly functional, just not quite done.
Email. Exchange integration is now implemented. It won't be using Blur or Motorola's backend. I've tested this feature with a test account from one of my Captivate users. No issues AFAIK.
Fixed camera orientation in front facing camera view. Also now truly supports 1080p recording with a slightly higher bitrate than before...
Blur "Social" app has been removed, along with all the filler bloat that accompanies it.
Vlingo has been removed.
GOLauncherEX is now standard, replacing LauncherPro. GOLauncher is smooth as glass! O_O
More is coming... along with deeper theming of the remaining blur apps.

The developer of this rom, Dorian, has a solid background in rom development - I believe it was with the Captivate - and is well known by some of the staff on Atrix Forums, who speak very highly of the quality of his work. I'm downloading it now, and plan on giving it a shot, so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

I think it is mostly a theme. He replaced the launcher, but a quick look through the system folder shows he did not replace any other blur pieces, which is understandable moto has a stranglehold on the preinstalled apps.

Because this is not a happy family place. If he misspells one word he would get screwed in the ass here. LOL, anyways he seems to stay on his own website and the smaller forums like the ones dedicated too the Captivate and Atrix. He has the best roms for the Captivate Ive been told.
I will be accepting requests for themes to port to EC05(only).
If the theme is Touchwiz based(from another galaxy s phone), it'll be much easier.
You have to ways to request.
1.) Link me to the exact theme you want ported.
or
2.) Give me links to multiple themes that have different parts you want. EX: battery from one theme, wifi from another, etc.
First to come, first(and possibly only) to serve.
Again, TouchWiz based themes are muuuch easier to port.

Seems like the type to say "No" and outright saying "No" are two different things. I know the theme borrows from a lot of other themes, so there would be a better chance of being denied, but there's no harm in asking. If the answer is "No", we'll move on.
Of course, before anything, Zanderman has to say yes.
I'll look into it.
