I know some people were requesting for the I9000 Honeycomb theme(s) to be ported over to Captivate. For those of you who were doing so, try flashing this theme with CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958788. I am currently running FireFly 2.2, and haven't had any issues. The developer however did recommend deleting bootanimation.zip as it would sometimes cause a loop. I did so, then replaced it with a custom bootanimation. The screenshots in the original thread show LauncherPro being used. I however prefer ADW launcher, and it works flawlessly with the theme/ROM. Obviously its not exactly like the real Honeycomb, but it looks and feels awesome. Flash at your own risk. Take a look below.
EDIT: screenshots didnt work. see attached below...
Two more screens...
do u think it would work with cognition too? theyre based off the same rom rt?
I also flashed it to FF2.2. No issues. Looks nice!

I honestly could not tell you...I dont know much about the differences. I just flashed to stock, flashed FF, then flashed the theme on top. Had my fingers crossed the whole time....
Hopefully someone else here can indulge.

Guess not. But I do remember seeing somewhere on these forums a Honeycomb theme based off of Rogers 2.2. If I find it I give you the link...

Yes you can as long as it is Cognition 3 you are talking about (any version of 3 so 3.1, 3.2, etc.). NANDROID before though in case it doesn't
What Calendar widget is that?
Good to hear its working. I will give this a shot. I was trying to cobble one together but its lacking polish since Im just replacing images and swapping XML files...lol.
I tried the other day but I think there had been too many theme flashes and something went wrong, so I had to go back to fresh sweet FF2.2

I have the ADW settings to be a 1 icon dock with no dock background (find this under dock/advanced in settings. Just a personal preference). The drawer icon is an icon in the ADW "Eyefold" theme available on the market. Hope this helps.

hey all,
I am running the tiamat hammerhead rom... I like it but right now there are not too many great themes for the xoom. A few color changing ones and the touchwiz port which i did like, but im down for something more. The best way to go about this short of doing my own theme is to get a good home launcher and use some custom animations and icon packs...
Here is the rub.. A lot of the home launchers are too phone-ish.. If that makes sense. Any suggestions? I was partial to ADW ex launcher but i looove the stock launching set-up. I mostly would like to maybe change animations, speeds, etc, but most importantly use icon packs. Any ideas for me or suggestions on good launchers with a stock home screen feel? I dont want my xoom to have a home screen like a giant phone lol

I would recommend ADW EX, but since it hasn't been updated in 3 months and isn't fully compatible with 3.2...
Yeah adw ex doesn't work well with 3.2 at the moment. I believe the older adw (non ex) works but u gotta find an .apk for that

Not true, imo, ADW EX works great, so smooth with my config and I like having 6 screens. ADW settings is mostly disabled, meaning I can't change the size of icons, basically. But everything else works really well.

Yeah thy made a 3.2 compatible version today... Still not all the way there in my opinion and quirky as anderweb releases tend to be at first until they find all the bugs. Props to them for the effort but i am still not sold. Gonna have to just try the stargate theme coming out soon! Which looks badass!

Are you referring to the black-on-black text issue with certain "ongoing" notifications like Downloads, Uploads, or Now Playing in Music? Some apps, like those mentioned, use their own theming XML files for notification text coloring. I prefer to use the more ICS/JB authentic white-on-black text style, and for the very few apps I regularly use that have this issue, it's worth the trade-off for me. If you're handy with XML, you can manually edit the appropriate file(s) within the apk for any apps experiencing this to correct it, but for me, it's not really worth the effort. This is a universal problem for all Gingerbread ROM themes with white-on-dark notification text styles.

I actually modded a Holo Launcher-compatible icon pack that I purchased from the Play Store. Since it was a paid app, though, I can't post it here. I have, however, attached the SGS3 icon files to the OP so that others can do the same. Most Launcher Pro icon packs are compatible with Holo Launcher. I only adjusted settings in Holo Launcher to match the SGS3 launcher so that my changes wouldn't be overwritten every time it was updated. Hope that helps.
icons in phone settings menu, should be colored....
Overall, great theme !
Would it also be possible to theme the dialer?

Thanks! The icons you're referring to are actually in "settings.apk," a separate file altogether. I may be able to find the time to theme that file too at some point. That, and maybe the dialer file as well, we'll see...

Really awesome theme, Im actually enjoying it. Thank you sooo much for this
Just dialer and settings left to fully fit sgs3 theme, it'd be awesome if you themed them too
Oh and I also like to see the percentage inside the battery icon, but thats kind of subjective.
Keep it up dude! And thank you again
As Grakel already said, thats a theme to enjoy (I do too)
Some things to do here and there, rly hope you keep it updated. It's the best SGS3 Theme i've seen so far!
Thanks for your work
I like the theme, but i just want to request something. Is there any way possible the have the battery icon with percentage? Or recover back the Zeus 7.0.3 Theme?

Noob question xD. How can i use these icons you shared? They are packed, how to put them to use in Holo Launcher?

i men, i use Holo Launcher, how can i use those icons ??? ?

Nice work!
But its not a complete theme... Miss a lot of thing like sms, dialer, contact, setting, calls, group, fonts, etc.
Hi guys,
Hope all of you are well.
So I'm back after a two year break from iOs to Android.
As I was browsing through the internet and try to look if there are any new alternatives to sweeter home I really couldn't get wiser out of all the information. So before I will start building themes again I was wondering if anyone knows what the top theme alternative apps for the moment are (2012-2013) and would like to share that with me.
In the past I have made some themes on sweeter home like these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOIopL7bbi4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOCowHO65c
But that was in the very beginning of the mobile Android platform and there were not many options to customizing your home screen.
So hereby my humble request to some information in the right direction.
With kind regards,
DizzyDix

Great news
Wow guys,
This is wonderful, thank you all for the input.
I think you have helped me a long way now with all this info.
I was really stunned by the uccw app, because of its possibilities.
But I will surely check out all apps.
I was kind of disappointed yesterday when I found out my S3 has no scrolling wallpaper function, so they force me again to make my own UI.
And because I dont like using ROM's I rather work with a launcher app/home screen replacement.
While browsing I have seen many good functional and good looking themes, so it is really a challenge for me to bring something out.
First I will play around with android and hopefully start theme'ing after a while.
Wish you all a good day.
Cheers

Launcher/ Home replacement
Hi all,
There has been some mix up, I think because of me.
I get a lot of input from you guys and that is totally cool, never expected that but your info is by far great nice to see the xda community being so helpful.
The mixup:
I don't think I am looking for a "launcher app".
I'm looking for a skin app which lets me change every aspect of the android UI, in this case TouchWiz.
So let's say we have Touchwiz with bottom bar where the apps icon always is outlined on the right and we have the home screen with the status bar etc.
What I want to do is: replace all elements of the TouchWiz. So for example that my homescreen will look like the Mac Os Lion interface on a mac or like the Windows 8 interface on a laptop.
The only app which lets me do that (that I know of) is SweeterHome, but I can't find sweeterhome in the market anymore and Beta 2.0 has bugs.
So then I was informed about:
UCCW
Apex
Nova
Home
iHome
aHome
SPB
LIghting launcher with uccw (that is totally not what I am looking for as I am designing my own theme so I dont want to use someones theme as a consumer but use an app that lets me build a new UI on the android OS.)
Ss launcher
holo launcher
zooper widget (not looking for a widget shell, but thanks for the input)
So, the most important question:
Is there an app that can do the same as SweeterHome?
Im looking forward to hearing from you guys,
Regards,
Dizzy

Hey Bud, thanks for your reply.. but I dont think you understood my message..
I am not looking for someone's theme.
I make themes.
Thanks though..
Unless I'm mistaken it sounds like you're looking for something that would completely change the visual aspects of android ui such as the status bar, menus pop ups and things of that nature afaik the only thing similar to that requires you to be rooted and running custom roms, which has the theme manager and allows you to theme to entire system and framework of android, if your looking for only third party apps available in the market that are themeable I believe super status bar comes with a theme engine as well as omega status bar (for the status bar) however they don't perform very well, and many custom launchers such as apex and nova allows for custom icons and icon packs as well as docks etc... However most themeing will require root as well as a custom roms like CM or PA (paranoid android) or aokp which all have the theme engine included.
Just a side note the theme engine included in these roms are based off the tmobile theme engine and cannot be used as a standalone app

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let you know there are third party apps that you can use in place of rooting however none will be as effective or theme as thoroughly as using the theme engine. Here's a list of some apps that might do what you need
Widget locker (for lock screen)
Super Status Bar (for status bar)
Go Launcher Pro (for home screen and launcher) not much experience with this but it seems pretty thorough in its themeing capabilities
Hopefully these can be viable alternatives for you ill add more if I think of any or of you have any other questions lemme know

+1 to what he said ^^^^ very detailed. But here is my shorter version, look into how to make a "Theme Choser" (or Theme Engine) theme, that is the most complete way to change how your phone look. Another alternative would be MIUI ROM, which is extremely customizable and dynamic when it comes to theming capability. Hope it helps :laugh:

Yesss!!!
Kagedin, thank you you've just answered more questions than I needed.
I was not sure if I needed to root but this confirms it. I got very noob at the moment because of the breakaway of 2 years from android so sorry for the complex questions.
But your answer confirms that I need root. And I also came to know that if you want to make an Apex theme... these days its done on your desktop through Python or etc.
Things has changed a lot since the beginning of Android, back then it was root into your phone, take aspects of the UI, redesign them on your desktop and place them back into their original folder on the phone and you where good to go.
I will go with Widget locker, Super Status Bar, Go Launcher Pro and Apex for the moment but first of all root.
BIG THANK YOU!
