Afternoon all,
Just thought I'd ask what / if any themes people are using on PA now and what the results are?
Default theme is nice but I'd like a few more options for changing themes, Believe we can use anything designed for the CM9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673456)
Just wondered if anyone has anything applied that's really impressed..
Yep you can use all CM9 themes for PA. My personal preference being the Holo Purple theme.

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
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?
Hi,
I've been looking for a simple Holo theme with the default blue changed to another color (orange, green, yellow, whatever new), just this simple, one modification - with no results.
The only themes that get as much as possible are: blackout1911's Betterbean Themes, kroz's Hue and Quasim Zia's Holo-series, but even those suffer from additional, redundant changes (like changing default grey into color) which IMO negatively affect JB's great simplicity and legibility.
I know I'm not the only one looking for those themes, since I've came across others, posting similiar questions/request. I wonder why no such themes exist (or I'm unable to find them). Is it so hard to make a simple, colored theme? If it involves changing hue for only two shades of blue, then why is it so problematic? Isn't there any tricky way to automatically recolor the blues in majority of icons with some Photoshop macros?
Thanks for any help and comments, I'd really appreciate this!
Well I'm no themer ...but if hasn't been done its likely because you can't with the theme chooser app...may bee a flash able zip or learn yourself ...me on the other hand I use holohue ....but I have sorcery ROM who's devs focus on most customosible support that AOKP doesn't even come near and with bean picker theme for ROM that's an easy fix for me...good luck

That could be pretty close, if there would exist an option to change the icon colors (eg statusbar icons), not only the text/lines. As far as I can tell from the screenshots provided, the icons stay untouched.
Thanks, anyway, that's a step forward. I'm still waiting for other suggestions, though.
I haven't seen a lot of posts about theming here in our D4 forum so I thought I would create one. If you don't know about theming, you are really missing out on some fun things you can do. Personalize that phone and make it yours!
Theme Chooser Themes: On AOSP based ROMs (CM, AOKP, Liquid, etc.) you can use the built in theme chooser located in the system settings. There are TONS of themes out there, some free, some paid. Here are a couple of fantastic threads listing Theme Chooser themes:
CM10/10.1/10.2 and other JB AOSP based ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29455970
CM11 and other KK AOSP based ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522538
Another option is the web site MyColorScreen.com. You will find a lot of custom themed home screens here and most have instructions on how to achieve the look yourself. You do not have to be running a ROM or even rooted for most/all of these.
A third option is the new Themer app located here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en. This app is by the MyColorScreen guys and basically takes all the work out of creating those custom home screens you find on MyColorScreen. It is in beta right now so you will have to sign up to receive a code. I received my code yesterday and it is fantastic!
If any of you have other apps, sites, etc that you use feel free to share them here.
Do u still have the code?

Nice little app. could use some more work but beta is impressive. hopefully they them apps, menus and such like cm one does but not bad at all
This is probably a silly question, but... I feel the need to ask it anyway. After recently switching back to a gb (for battery life reasons) rom XquiziT_SGH-T679_v6.1 to be exact, the only thing I noticed is the lacking "theme chooser" ability. What I wanted to know was is it possible to theme a rom that doesn't have theme chooser already built in? Or is there a way to apply it to a rom without it?
I've tried pretty much all the gb roms available and they all had some sort of issue that made my phone try and implode. This xquizit one seems quite stable and performs as I want it to, just... missing a little personalization. Basically what I want to do is change the ui "blue" to a purple. something like cm7 purple punch theme.
Thanks for any info/advice!
Theme chooser is in AOSP based roms only. Examples, cm, pa, PAC, aokp, etc. The only gb rom we have with that feature is cm7.
