[Theme] Galaxy S for Fusion!ROM2.2 [OLD]

This theme is for rbrucemtl's 'Fusion!ROM2.2', but currently only 5.1 and lower (although not tested on all of them). So will not work on the latest version. I do not plan on updating it, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions of this ROM. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
For you 'FroydVillain' users Alex over at www.villainrom.co.uk has ported this over - http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=2627
All, bar a few of the images have been ported from the Galaxy S ROM. There are a couple of my own minor additions in there also. They have all been resized and 9.png'd so took some time to get them right.
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing and I am not planning on updating it further as what I have is enough for me, but If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest
So... attached will give you a rough idea of what is themed. I have also themed the Desk Clock, and included modified notification icons for the Market and Messaging apps. I haven't included the icons you'll see for the apps, as haven't had a chance to update them all so thought better to leave them all out rather than have them half complete. However, I can suggest the 'Gala S' theme for 'ADW Launcher'. That will theme all the apps to the Galaxy S icons.
To achieve the look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'Hero-GalaxyS-0.1.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or the CM Settings:
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then as you will see in the screen shots I am using the 'TouchWiz' Launcher. I have not included this but you can obtain it from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735632. All credit to the guys who made that possible. It runs very smooth and is actually pretty damn good.
Please note: Samsung Widgets are not included.
Enjoy! ...and don't blame me if it breaks your phone. You should know how to nandroid by now.

Notes for Hero-GalaxyS
Not working for CM6 Nightly. loop boot.
Hmmm, I guess the framework is not transparent across all 2.2 ROMs. I have updated the thread to specify that this now only be for 'Fusion!ROM2.2' as that is what I am using it on and have not tested it on any other.
looks a greatheme, but boot loops on froyodvillain, hopefully some one can port this to it as i really want this theme.
Awweessoommee I will try on CM Nightly just incase it was the guy ^^above^^ that just had problems with it if not is it alright if i try porting it ?? oh and wow didt know it was possible to make the icons background on hero
EDIT: oh and which launcher do i need to use from the link?? the i9000 or the i5800 ??
EDIT2oohh i just remebered i made some status bar mods for galaxy s but could never try them out because i dont have the phone :L
EDIT3:Confirmed boot loop on nightly build :/

I think it's due to the framework, although both are 2.2 ROMs some of the devs modify certain files in there or they differ from they way it's built. So the theme would have to be made for each ROM. Sucks really.
On another note, it doesn't really work that well on FryodVillain as for some reason they have removed the options to change the text colour of the Clock, Date etc... so you just end up with a black clock in the task bar and some black text in the pull down menu. I'm not sure why they did that. I guess to make it as less like CM as possible :S

Both the i9000 and i5800 work fine on the Hero. Although the i5800 has a better fit on the icons and text in the app drawer. Both have the same features, so it's what you prefer really.
It will prob boot loop on any CM at the mo. I think once a final version comes out it'll be much easier to get a theme ready for any ROM, but in their current states, with constant updates it's difficult to keep up
Still the files are there ready to play with for anyone who may want to.
Sweet Thanks
Any chance of the lock screen ?

Not yet. None of them have been ported and I don't think they'd work until the whole ROM was ported over. I think some people might be looking at it but don't think it's gonna happen

i don't think it matters which nightly you theme because cynageon i dont think changes any of the framework so you wont need to keep updating the theme evry night when theres a new one :L
*Sorry i have had 3 posts of just me*
lol, that's cool.
With regards to the Lockscreen, I am not sure that can work either as it integrates with other Samsung apps, Phone, Messaging etc. However, as of yet I can't even find where it is in the ROM dump . If you get anywhere with it or the widgets let me know
Hope you dont mind, but ive asked on villain rom if anyone can convert it fo froyodvillian.

No not at all
I did originally do a version for FroydVillain, but they have not included the CM options to change the colours of the Clock, Date etc... so with the dark notification bar it looks a bit odd, not so much for the date but the clock looks like a blank space. Maybe someone there can edit the relevant xml file to change it or find a way to add in the CM Settings into the ROM.

[Q] [REQUEST] DarkEdge theme port

I am sure alot of you have seen this theme but its just awesome!
Is there a way to port this to the Galaxy S? I think it works partially but I dont really know much about this stuff. Would be cool if its included in a ROM to make it easier to install.
Just an idea...
[I'm not allowed to post links yet, so if someone else could post the links, just google darkedge theme]

You can download them from the market. I have about 8 themes by Darkedge. But remember to install ADW Launcher for them to work, you also need to have ADW as the default Launcher.
Actually the ADW theme was not changing all the icons (especially samsung ones)...and widgets dont get modded either.
However, I managed to work around that by adding some xml files to the apk, and most of my main icons are now themed.
However, I am looking for more dark edge icons packs...let me know if you see any
Also, I am thinking of modifiying the status bar to go with the theme.
Its a shame ADW lags a bit esp with widgets.
However, I was still hoping someone could do a complete port (including status bar, menus, twlauncher app drawer etc)

[Q] porting mms from sgs2

Has anybody been able to port mms from SGS2 (with message bubble selection and font size) to work on the SGS1
Check themes and apps section.
i had a look in there but did not find anything but thanks for your help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14797925&postcount=4
brilliant, i'll give it a go.
Although, it doesn't offer the same functionality as the SGS2 app, I guess more changes would be needed that just MMS.apk. It has brighter msg bubbles and that's all :]

Help please?

Is there anyone that can tell me where to look for the PNG images that I would need to change in order to change the text message background and text color? I am using paranoid android hybred JB ROM and I want to change the color of the text messager to something like REMICS ROM. Any help would be great. I would love to use REMICS ROM but I like the tablet ui so I want to mod the colors to my liking thanks.

[Q] Guide to creating a theme

Hi all
Does anyone know of a good guide that shows you how to create a theme for a galaxy s6?
I am wanting to make a theme that uses the standard icons, but has some darker colours in the sms/phone app.
I dont like the theme store AMOLED friendly / black themes because they dont have enough colour and we loose the defaut iconset.
Basically if i can take the standard theme and modify a few things I'd be happy
Whenever I try to search for answers, all i seem to be able to find is references to some elusive and unobtainable theme creation tool that samsung was ment to release back in April.
I am just after the tool or a guide right now, i dont want to add my themes to the samsung theme store.
foundit
Oooh looks like this site is now back up again
developer.samsung.com/theme#mytheme
Edit: Nevermind that doesnt do the job
It is a super basic editor that just allows you to add wallpapers and icons - it wont let you change the background and coloring of the sms and phone apps.
