Nandroid first! I am not responsible for nuclear war, the price of housing or your phone.
Please Read the whole of this post before asking a question, it may have already been answered
This started as a personal project to get my phone looking like the latest version of Google's OS as I knew it was a slim chace we would get the real thing, and because I wanted to learn a little more about how Android works. There was quite a lot of people showing interest in it, so I decided to post my work for everyone to use on thier Hero's. It has now transformed into somthing alot bigger than I ever expected. There is a lot of community work included in this theme, and I want to say thanks to a few people for thier contributions in either content or testing:
krispijn_s, Studjuice, Kullt, Calico5, LTourist, nmeuret, ximmox
Massive thanks to you all!

Hey dude, I just made a metamorph for the Hero with these things resized (I used the HDPI versions in the SDK as source).
Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9658192
Feel free to use em.
Ps. I haven't figured out the whole menu text colour thing either (prolly one of the xmls in drawable), so I kept the original menu_background.
Exactly what i was gonna do tomorrow! Looks like you beat md to it. If i work out how to change the text in the menu and the pulldown notification i'll let you know as your metamorph is alot.more flexible then my method. Feel free to us the bits for LP and keyboard in your post, if yours works on Froyd i will close my post and point it to yours, no sense in maintaing two versions!

*************************************
To start with, this guide assumes that your phone is rooted and has Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM) installed. If this is not the case, please see any of the below links to get started:
Rooting without unlocking the bootloader (This method only works for 2.3.2 and below)
Allgamer's Rooting Guide
Rooting via ADB for Win7&Vista
Rooting on Ubuntu
Koush's Rooting Guide
Rooting on a Mac
W0lv3r1n3's Great Windows Rooting Guide
*************************************
Now lets get started. First, how does one install mods on Android? Lets do a NANDroid backup to begin:
1) Turn your phone off.
2) While holding the Volume Up button press the power button until the screen turns on and you will see a black screen with an Android on it and a lot of numbers and words that will mean nothing to you. This is called the Bootloader. In both the bootloader and the recovery mod you will use the volume buttons to navigate between options and the power button to select one.
3) Navigate down to Recovery option and select it.
4) Navigate down to backup and restore
5) Navigate down to backup and select it and let it run.
ROMs:
Stock 2.3.3 Full ROM
This is just for those looking for the complete bone stock, full 2.3.3 ROM. Use it to return to stock but remember it will remove your root.
Here is the update for GRH78C!
Here is the update for GRH78 Only!
Finally, here is just the radio for 2.3.3:
For GRI54 (XXKB3)
For GRI40 (XXKB1)
Master's Stock 2.3.3 Deodexed
2.3.3
This ROM is no longer being updated. It will be removed from this list once it is no longer up-to-date with Google's OTA updates!
There's not going to be a lot you can see different here from stock, but trust me there is one very important change under-the-hood; its deodexed. For those not on the up-and-up of Android terminology let me explain: Android uses these files called odexes which make it so that things boot and load a little bit faster however these files also make it pretty darn difficult to theme anything. For this ROM, Master has gone through each and every one of those files and done the meticulous job of getting rid of all of those little files so now you're free to theme your stock ROM to your hearts content! Its available in four delicious vanilla gingerbread 2.3.3 flavors: Stock kernel rooted, Stock kernel unrooted, Voodoo Sound/Color enchanced Kernel rooted, and Voodoo Sound/Color enchanced Kernel unrooted. Yummy!
CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies:
2.3.3
Most Stable Release: RC3
CyanogenMod is the powerhouse of ROMs for Android. It is based on Android Open Source Platform (AOSP) and adds some nice tweaks like power controls in the notification drop down panel and some nice lockscreen tweaks among many others. Its a fast and powerful ROM that also tends to have pretty decent battery life, however if you're looking for constant stability remember this ROM is no where near a final release. Its pretty stable for a nightly release, but its definitely not as stable as some of the others available.
Unlike any other ROM, when you flash CyanogenMod you must also flash a zip file called gapps which includes standard google apps. This should be done before rebooting the device but after flashing the ROM.

MIUI
2.3.3
Most Stable Release: 1.3.18
MIUI is probably one of the most different ROMs available. Its sort of a love it or hate it ROM as it has a lot of the look of iOS while also bringing a lot of interesting features to Android. The stock MIUI launcher doesn't have an app drawer but instead stores all of your apps on homescreens, much like iOS. You can make folders to store apps (and these can be placed on the dock to simulate an app drawer, and then you can sort that folder by most used or alphabetically) or you can chose to go with a 3rd party launcher. Either way, MIUI is definitely worth a flash if you're looking for a completely different take on Android.
Since MIUI is developed by a team in China, their releases are in chinese but don't fret; Markhuk over at miui-dev.com releases a language pack. This works exactly like the gapps for CM7. First you flash the ROM then flash the language pack. Its generally available in a number of languages though as of now I'm only aware of it being available in Chinese, English, Spanish, and Italian.
▽▲AXURA Nexus Edition▲▽
2.3.3
This ROM is no longer being updated. It will be removed from this list once it is no longer up-to-date with Google's OTA updates!
Master has ported his much loved Axura ROM to the Nexus and after some initial hiccups all seems to be running smoothly. This ROM is based on 2.3.3 GRI54 but is deodexed and mostly themed for your pleasure. It also includes Netarchy's extremely stable 1.2.5 stock CFS kernel out of the box so you get an extremely quick ROM mixed with a more colorful stock experience. All and all a beautiful ROM with a solid core is what you get here! Now featuring j0hnZ accurate battery mod baked right in!
Paul O'Brien's MoDaCo:
2.3.3
Paul's ROM is definitely one of the most stable I've used and has probably the best battery life. Its very basic and is available for download in a few flavors of lightness which include either all of his tweaks, some, or none. The one annoyance I have with his ROM is the inclusion of security software that runs every boot much akin to the Windows Security center popups, something I definitely don't want on my phone. Overall though if you want a fast, stable, and basic ROM this is a great choice.
GingerS v0.8 Small:
2.3.3
GingerS is all about being lightweight and fast. Currently it packs Netarchy's 1.2.7 CFS kernel as well as a few awesome tweaks like SIP calls over 3G. If you're looking for a very stock experience with a bit more speed, give this one a flash!
NSCollab
2.3.3
You love the awesome features of CyangenMod but you want a rom that feels a little more stock? Frank707 has you covered! This cool new ROM comes out of the box with Netarchy's 1.2.8 CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) Kernel baked right in which means you're also getting Voodoo sound and color! Unlike regular CyanogenMod this comes with all your google apps already inside, no extra flash required. Also, this hot little number is now available to download through ROM Manager premium!
ZeroXS
2.3.3
This ROM is all about the little things that truly differentiate it. On first boot you won't be shocked by a fancy boot animation, or blown away by a completely themed look, but you will find your eye drawn to the niceties included. For one, Titanium backup is pre-installed making setting this ROM up one of the easiest I've used by far. Other small theming choices include a custom themed launcher and a change to cool blue from the stock Gingerbread green. This fun ROM is for those of you looking for a very stock ROM but that has a just a hint of the flair that is running under the hood.
[email protected]'s SuperAOSP for Nexus S
2.3.3
Much like CyanogenMod, this is based directly off of the AOSP code Google pushes out but its compiled by [email protected] rather than Team Douche. Also, much like Axura this little honey has some very nice theming touches built right in as well as a few special themes in the Theme Chooser. Many of you may know it from back on the Nexus S and now we've got a stable version here. On top of the myriad cool features in this ROM, you also get SUPsetup which among many other things, lets you do a lot of heavy customizations that would otherwise had to have been done in Root Explorer or via ADB neither of which is a fun process. Those of you who are fans of AOSP but are unfamiliar with this ROM should definitely give it a shot. Heck, everyone should try it out!
Honeycomb 3.0 Full sdk port
3.0
THIS IS VERY MUCH AN IN-DEVELOPMENT ROM AND SHOULD ONLY BE FLASHED WITH A LOT OF CAUTION AND A DASH OF BOLDNESS. IF YOU DOUBT YOUR ABILITY TO DEAL WITH POSSIBLE DISASTER DO NOT FLASH THIS. I REPEAT: DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE CONSEQUENCES. Now that I've gotten the warning out of the way, this is something I'm personally very excited about; this is Android 3.0 Honeycomb (sort-of) working on the Nexus S! Now, remember, this is no where near finished and there is a lot of stuff not functioning including a few essentials like a phone/dialer app or the fact that the screen seems to flicker on and off. Don't even bother with this if you're new to flashing ROMs and are worried about your warranty, this bad boy is for experienced flashers ONLY!
Now that you've chosen a rom, how do you install it?
1) Download the ROM of your choice and place it on the root of your SD Card.
2) Boot back into your bootloader and get into recovery.
3) Navigate down to mounts and storage and select it.
4) Navigate down to format data and select it.
5) Navigate down to format cache and select it.
6) Navigate down to +++++Go Back+++++ and select it.
7) Navigate down to advanced and select it.
8) Navigate down to Wipe Dalvik Cache and select it.
9) Navigate down to +++++Go Back+++++ and select it.
10) Navigate down to install zip from sdcard and select it.
11) Navigate down to choose zip from sdcard
12) Navigate down to the ROM zip on your SD card and select it.
13) Navigate down to Yes, select it and let it run.
14) Once its done reboot your phone!
You have now installed a custom ROM!
Oh no! I'm bricked!
If you've modified your phone and have either majorly screwed something up or just want to get everything back to stock there are a few ways to do that and you can find guides here:
Stock 2.3.1 NANDroid: Use this with CWM to restore an image of the stock rom and go back to square one.
Odin back to stock: Odin is a program used by Samsung to install firmware onto handsets and this is the last ditch method for getting things working again. It will wipe all of your programs and return you to bone stock, no root no nothing.
Themes:
You've got a custom ROM but now you want to make it look a little bit more like something that matches your style. You have a few choices and here they are:
Jabbawalkee's MattedBlues
Available For: CM7 RC1, CM7 Nightly #8, CM7 Nightly #11, CM7 RC2
Jabbawalkee has ported his stunningly pretty MattedBlues theme over to the Nexus S. Unlike some of the other themes available this one adds not just a splash of color to the stock gingerbread look but also adds some more gradient paired with a nice custom font. This one's only currently available for CyanogenMod7 RC1, nightlies #8 and #11. If you're looking for some nice cool blues but don't want the stark blacks of stock gingerbread this theme is absolutely one of the best available! You can also find some alternate versions of Jabbawalkee's theme here: MattedBlues V2.1 Alternate Status Bar Colors.
Stock-Ish Axura
Available For: Axura NSE
Master has now released a theme to take his heavily themed Axura ROM back to a more stock feeling. If you like the power, stability, and other amazing tweaks in Axura but want your phone to retain that stock Gingerbread feel this ones for you!
Sonnysekhon's myriad of themes!
Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Latest Nightly, MoDaCo r14
Sonnysekhon is an amazing theme dev who has worked on themes for more devices than most people have owned. He has released a total of eight (count 'em, EIGHT) amazing themes and a modification pack to change the color of one of them to any of of eight other colors and these are available for all ROMs except GingerS Small and Kimera. Below you'll find a list of his themes with a short description of each:
Lucid:
Lucid is a basic black and white theme with a lot of other cool modifications. It includes a full makeover and Sonny has replaced a lot of the apps with modded ones. You'll find a lot of transparency in this theme but the only modification to the lockscreen is a change of the icon colors.
Sublime, Sublime Cyan, and Sublime Extra Colors:
Sublime is Sonny's take on the stock Gingerbread look. He took the basic color and applied it across the board to make everything look clean and it looks great. He added a Cyan version and later a lot of other colors so now if you want to keep the stock look of Gingerbread but change the color, Sonny has you covered.
Onyx:
Onyx is Sonny's newest release and at first glance might seem to be a lot like Lucid, but once you look closer you see that the transparency has been replaced with stark black and white. Also, he has added a black&white version of his tangerine lockscreen.
Frost:
The best description for Sonny's Frost theme is just think of the inverse of Onyx. If you like simple but want something a little brighter than Onyx then Frost is for you.
Tangerine:
Tangerine is a simple black and orange theme that looks quite slick. It is simple but with a touch of flair and a bit of deviation from the stock look of gingerbread.
Monochrome:
Monochrome is slick, silver, and sleek.
Vivid:
Vivid is Sonny's newest theme and its exactly what its name claims it is: Vivid. Beautiful and colorful, this is a great theme to show off just how wonderfully your SAMOLED display shows colors.
DjDarkKnight's DarkGinger:
Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Nightly#19
DjDarkKnight has created a beautifully dark theme for CyanogenMod7 that makes over everything look dark but accessible. I've been a fan of his themes for awhile and if you're looking for a great theme that is dark, check this out. Also, DJ has made a flashable zip of themed google apps (like Gmail, maps, etc) so you get even more dark goodness!
Jonathon Grigg's Unity:
Available For: CM7 RC2, Stock ROMs
Jonanthon's goal with this theme is simple: Unite hardware and software to give you the most continuity in your Nexus S experience. There are still some feature being added but for now, he's got an amazing base for his goals of a unified Nexus visual experience. This baby is currently available in two ROM flavors; CM7 RC2 and more stock ROMs including MoDaCo, Axura, and Stock deodexed.
Mythamp's AMPED! Theme:
Available For: Stock ROMs
Imagine a world where instead of stock Gingerbread looking matte and uninteresting, every things is sleak, smooth and colorful. Well, imagine no more; Mythamp (the original creator of the theme Bliss which SonnySekhon had been maintaining) has updated and ported his beautifully slick theme to the Nexus S and given it a more suitable name! AMPED is all about keeping that stock feel while making everything look just better and if that is something you're into give this sexy theme a flash. You can get it on Axura, Stock deodexed, and MoDaCo!

Got an awesome theme but looking for a wallpaper to go with it? Check out below:

Kernels:
Below you'll find a list of kernels along with a short description of each!
Netarchy's Kernels:
2.3.2, 2.3.3
Netarchy started releasing kernels for the Evo 4G and has recently started releasing his amazing kernels for the Nexus S!
His kernels come in a few flavors but they're not really that different from each other. Netarchy always has a stable release and an experimental one but I can say from experience that the experimental is just as stable and they both incorporate the Voodoo sound enhancements as well as the ext4 hack however the newest version also incorporates the new Voodoo Color enhancements which I must say are pretty awesome. Also, his newest experimental version also includes BLN support! They are pretty much compatible with everything including stock however there is a specific download of each flavor for CyanogenMod7 so just remember to download the right one. As to choosing between the brain **** scheduler (BFS) or completely fair scheduler (CFS) just try them both and see which one you prefer.
Morfic's Honity12 and Honity14
2.3.2, 2.3.3
This kernel is just a 1.2GHz (Honity12) or a 1.4GHz (Honity14) overclock with no other fancification; it will boot and run at which either 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz. It now includes the most up-to-date Voodoo sound and color modifications as well as BLN! Also, it includes a snazzy boot animation!
(Also available as a test version at 1.5GHz here)
Ogdobber's ☆Jame Bond☆ Kernel:
2.3.2, 2.3.3
This is a modified CyanogenMod7 kernel that includes the ext4 and voodoo sound enhancements as well as BLN! If you want to add those but don't want to deal with other tweaks or overclocking this baby is for you.
How to flash a kernel:
1) Download the kernel of your choice and put it on the root of your SD card.
2) Boot into your recovery.
3) Navigate down to install zip from sdcard and select it.
4) Navigate down to choose zip from sdcard and select it
5) Navigate down to your kernel zip and select it.
6) Navigate down to Yes, select it and let it run.
7) Reboot and enjoy!
*Note about overclocking*
For those looking to overclock a lot of the kernels boot to 1GHz and then require the use of a program like SetCPU to clock it up from there. That link will take you to the developers thread on XDA where he offers his app for free to the XDA community but if you like it and plan to use it, you might consider going to the market and getting his paid version.
*Note about Voodoo Enchancements!*
First of all, much props to SuperCurio for his wonderful work! If you are using a Kernel that implements Voodoo Sound and/or Color enhancements make sure you download his Voodoo Control App from the market and or using his Donate Version as his work is absolutely phenomenal!
*Note about BLN!*
In order to make use of the BLN functions you must first have a kernel that supports it and then download the BLN control app to actually use the functionality. As usual, if you enjoy using this mod I urge you to consider buying the paid BLN control - Pro app, you'll find it has a few more features and its always good to support the devs who work hard to provide us with great new functionality from out devices!

Well, not really. I mean, you have everything covered. It would be great to keep it updated, although that is going to be hard when more people start to theme. Maybe you can tell a little bit more about the Custom ROMs, like what they do exactly. Now it just says: 'it is fast', or 'good battery life'. I would like to see some information about the extra features every ROM has, if that's possible of course.
By the way, I have a question: I know it isn't necessary anymore to unlock the bootloader, because you can root and install recovery without it. But after you've done that, can you just install any ROM or Kernel here through the normal way? Or do you have to do it through a special way?
I know flashing a Custom ROM wipes your data, but it doesn't wipe ALL your data like unlocking the bootloader does. I just think it will be too complicated for me if you have to flash Custom ROMs with a special way when you've rooted and installed recovery without unlocking the bootloader.

My instructions for installing ROMs, kernels and themes will work for any method of rooting. Flashing a new custom ROM requires that you wipe your device however going from one release of a ROM to the next does not require that and its not quite the same as unlocking the bootloader. When you unlock the bootloader it wipes EVERYTHING; data, cache, dalvik, and SDcard. You lose it all whereas when you install a custom ROM you just lose Apps, account info and settings which can be mostly restored with the use of Titanium Backup.
As for being more specific about what differentiates ROMs, there isn't a lot to say to be honest. Right now there are really not a lot of aesthetic changes in any of them. Most of the differences are going to be in specific tweaks and a lot of times those are not things that Devs release specific information about (heck the CyanogenMod Team doesn't even release changelogs!). I tried to represent each ROM for what it does best IE speed, stability, battery life, etc as those are the things that really differ between each ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up!
I probably shouldn't ask this here, but the themes you mention, what do they change? Do they also change native google apps, and the dialer and icons?
I've always been wondering what the differences between theming through a homescreen replacement and theming through a Custom ROM was. And you can also change icons with BetterCut, which makes three methods to theme...

A theme will change a lot of things depending on how much the themer changed. Of the themes I listed they pretty much all theme everything from google apps to the color of the highlights when you click on a list. You can view screen shots of what all is changed on the threads for each theme.
Thank you
Thank you.
Perhaps you could add a note somewhere in your first posts about flashing sequences (ROM, then kernel, then theme or whatever) and also more specifics on cache clearing after ROM/theme installations?

Just follow the step by step instructions and you'll be fine. If wiping is listed in the steps wipe, if not then don't.
Themes require a rom to be deodexed which stock is not. There are are a few bone stock choices listed in my rom list if you want a theme.

Oh I wasn't really asking for instructions I was just suggesting some additions, but thanks anyway.
Thank you for the guide, helped me in my questions.
Just one more question. Is there any way to uninstall themes and kernels apart from restoring to Nandroid backup?
squattingb said:
you mean ROMs that don't deviate much from stock? I just don't want to flash another ROM because I don't like to having to reorganize all of my widgets and homescreens....

that only happens if you use stock launcher or LauncherPro
if you use Go Launcher all the settings and widgets remains even after changing ROMs
just restore the backup and you're set

Alright thanks for that tip, I'll check out Go Launcher

The one issue I had with GO launcher was that it always makes my icons look pixelated. I've tried every launcher replacement I can find (ADW, ADWex, Zeam, GO, LauncherPro, and LauncherPro Plus) and I always come back to LauncherPro Plus. Its the one that lets me customize what I want and customize it without any trouble.

INSTRUCTIONS
Requirements:
▪ Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x (3.0.0.7 for Amoled and 3.0.0.8 for SLCD)
▪ Radio 2.x (Try different ones and see which works best for you. I am using 05.02)
▪ hboot 0.92 Required (See this post #635 for hboot 0.92 and instructions)
▪ A Full Wipe Highly Recommended! (Required if this is the first version you are installing)
NOTE: Will not flash over anything but this ROM.
Copy ROM to root of the SDCARD
Boot into recovery and install it via the Install Zip from SD card option
NOTE: Be patient on first boot since it may sit for a few minutes
DISCLAIMER: As usual, flash at your own risk and don't forget to backup your current installation before flashing.
NOTE: ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.x required since it is Gingerbread
Downloads
Version 3.0 >>>> Download
MD5 = 15f74dd0738235625b6767c4860e80ff
Version 3.0 with 3D Carousel >>>> Download (NOTE: If you really want the 3d - Carousel I recommend my full 3.0 ROM)
MD5 = 3c9ebae82d60976f73ad5f30d395decc
NOTE: Runs pretty good especially if you use SpareParts and set animations to fast.
NOTE 2: Fresh install with full wipe required.
IMPORTANT: Won't flash over anything unless I say otherwise. For a fresh install you must be using the correct CWM for your screen type (3.0.0.7 for Amoled or 3.0.0.8 for SLCD ) with ROM Manager or alternatively full wipe in recovery, then install/choose zip from SD Card
RULE OF THUMB: If you choose to flash over without a wipe and have lags, FC's, things missing, or things just don't work right then flash again with a complete wipe
Random Thoughts:
If you are using Google restore for a large amount of apps then expect some lag in the early minutes or hour or so after the install.
If you are experiencing a lot of lag after a fresh install check to see if it is Google restore. Most people don't even notice the option is on when signing into the market.
If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from another ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems with this ROM
If you are using any means to restore and that restore is from a prior version of this ROM suspect what was installed if you are having problems.
Try different radios to see which one gives you the best network speed and overall functionality. For me it is the 11.19 radio for my area.

Add-Ons and Mods
Interested in doing your own theming? Check out the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen
Lets you select battery styles, icons for all over, task bar mods, and even boot animations.
Use the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and SystemUI.apk from the ROM zip folder
==============================================
Helpful hints on battery life:
Look in Settings > Accounts & Sync and make sure you are not syncing anything you don't care about like news and stocks, etc. Leave them to update when opened. Same with E-Mail.
Go into the people/contacts and make sure you are only syncing contacts you need. For example I use Outlook and turned off Google and phone.
Turn off WiFi when you are not in range or need it. I boosted the search frequency time but it still helps to not have it searching at all
Adjust screen brightness to say 50% then put it on auto.
In Settings > Location turn off GPS and Phone Finder. That assumes you don't care about Phone Finder.
In Settings > Privacy turn off automatic backups if you don't use them
In Settings > Applications > Manage Applications uninstall ES File Explorer and HTC_IME mod (My black keyboard) if you don't use them. EFS runs in the background all the time.
Look in Settings > Applications and see if you have any apps that run all the time that you don't really use and uninstall them.
If I think of more I will add them.
Most of these use battery but also use RAM so you can save on both.

I have been a fan of your work in the past and will give this one a shot.

Thanks for all the hard work - this looks like a must flash for me.
Stupid question: do I need to be on 247 before I flash?
I'm on 232 happily running another ROM without any problems. I'm very tentative about flashing 247 and losing the ability to go backward to an OTA upgrade path. Or is this not a problem anymore.
But I've been following your work and this ROM sounds awesome.
Sorry if this is too noobish

Been on 232 for eons, so this is a breath of fresh air. Downloading.
Edit: First boot the phone got stuck in airplane mode, however I feel like I did this somehow by accident. I was holding the phone away from me and realized it had finished booting and I was pressing stuff, then saw airplane mode was on, and there was no way to turn it off. So I did a wipe and reflash, with the moto preinstall folder wiper mod (why not?). All is well. Restoring apps via MyBackup Pro.
Flashed this warlock with ss3.0.5 and its been banging like a champ. Only issue so far is awesome beats doesn't want to work correctly. Other than that this rom is fantastic! Thanks for the hard work on this one

Smooth & Stable so far.. Really like this one, but can OP make a flash-able zip (or a version) with the more traditional ICS battery & signal icons? Is there a way to get rid of the persistent search bar?
Edit:
Tried installing on safeside via safestrap, no errors whatsoever, running great. However, on the non-safe via bootstrap on top of 232 it was installed, but after reboot there seems to be no changes made to the 232.

Great Rom
Flashed Rom and it works wonderful. But is it possible to add screenshot in the rom without third party app. Awesome beats doesn't do anything as stated before and battery percent is very much needed, other then that this is a awesome rom fast and smooth. Great work looking forward to future updates.
Added status bar icon mods, screenshots, and feature suggestions to the OP. Enjoy!
Loving the icon pack but whete is cpu sleeper

CPU Sleeper shuts down one core while the screen is off to save battery.
Does it need to be activated

I love the circles widget. It's too bad it can't be a stand alone apk

I for the life of me can not get this to install. I am on the OTA ICS update, rooted and when I go to install the zip file everything seems to be fine and it says that the rom installed but it reboots back in to a fresh OTA install.
[THEME] Black5 Theme for Nexus 6 - CleanROM & Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted-...
Hi,
here's another inverted theme for Nexus 6. I call it Black5. It's now tested on CleanROM-1.2.5 - CleanROM-1.4.0 and Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted-DeOdex-v2.
Basic idea is to have backgrounds etc in black with white and grey text. Blue highlights and accents here and there.
Work in progress and bugs, white text on white, still there but lets see. Please report your findings an also solutions here.
NOW THEMED:
- framework-res.apk
- SystemUI.apk
- Settings.apk
- GoogleDialer.apk
- GoogleContacts.apk
- PrebuiltBugle.apk / Messenger
- DeskClockGoogle.apk
- GoogleKeyboard.apk - New!
- DocumentsUI.apk - New!
Take it or leave it, neither one will cost you anything
LATEST DOWNLOAD:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/98ccl3p2mtbld6u/Black5_01022015.zip?dl=0
CHANGES SINCE LAST UPDATE:
- more detailed theming
- keyboard themed
- documents themed
- minor fixes here and there
- had to leave CatalysCM settings off
KNOWN BUGS:
- notification text/bacground color on lockscreen
- downloads FC's but list still accessible via recents (do not know how to fix, hints welcome), doesn't effect on overall functionality
- sound and notification icon colors untehmed in setting - yet to be found
- some 2nd and 3rd level settings unthemed, ie Settings->More->Cellular networks
INSTALLATION:
- update your apps
- important for Messenger to theme up: after update check that Google Messenger is at "\data\app\com.google.android.apps.messaging-1" there has to be "base.apk".
Update seems to put it in new location, even a new installation without existing Messenger it goes there.
- download the package, the zip-file from above
- boot into recovery
- backup your existing system
- wipe cache/Dalvik cache
- flash the downloaded theme package
- reboot
- works perfectly here after dozens of tests on clean ROM install and reflashes after that
EDIT:
- working here with clean install of CleanROM-1.2.5 - CleanROM-1.4.0 and Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted-DeOdex-v2.
- CatalysCM Settings.apk removed from the latest release.
- I've used "Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted.zip" found from the forums here.
- I accidentially released a theme with Settings.apk from the Nexus 5 CatalysmCM. Well, that happened and can't really pull it back but apologise and give all credit to the DEV.

Sweet ?
Going to try it now.
Edit : Works perfectly .
One request can u also make google keyboard in the same combo thanks great work.
I think you used some modded Settings.apk as it shows these Mods too
Really like how this looks. Would be awesome if you could make this for aosp roms like liquid smooth. I tried it but just bootlooped
A true black and white theme!!! Love it.
Great theme, however the battery icon is not themed properly, not showing the battery level, just stays solid white, anyone else?
Can't seem to get this to work on stock LRX22C 5.0.1 rooted. Every google app force closes and my nexus reboots. Any suggestions?
Battery
Appreciate your work you created a very elegant theme, but I am also having issues with battery percent otherwise it works great

So you're saying that this theme adds its own settings?

Works great thank for the heads up
Softkeyz App not working after applying theme.
Bump, anyone? I'm deodexed.
Can't seem to get this to work on stock LRX22C 5.0.1 rooted. Every google app force closes and my nexus reboots. Any suggestions?
Hell yeah man, brilliant work!
This is awesome. Just can get messenger to work. Any tips or tricks
@OP, you should tell people on what base you did your beautifull theme , it would avoid people having problem with it
Running stock 5.0.1 LRX22C. Is this a safe flash?
I'm using this theme on cleanrom and works perfect

Yes, you're absolutely right. I used the stock rom "Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted.zip" found from the forums here.
Also, as played around with several apk's I accidentially released a theme with Settings.apk from the Nexus 5 CatalysmCM.
Well, that happened and can't really pull it back but aplogise and give all credit to the DEV.
I've updated the OP with same info.
Continuing most likely on the coming weekend.

All the above works fine here with "Stock-Root-LRX22C-5.0.1-Unencrypted.zip" and "CleanROm-1.1.zip" found from the forums here.
Might be worth cleaning Dalvik Cache and Cache in the recovery.
