Well I have been playing with this for a while, and have decided to open a thread so that those who are using it can make suggestions and so I can stop cluttering other threads with post. This started off as just some fun, it is based on 2 different themes, Android 3.0 and Mambo's theme (I forget the name at the moment). I held off on making a thread till I had made enough changes that I am comfortable saying it is my own. This is very much a work in progress, and I am picking up this theme thing as I go allong. To those this may be of interest, enjoy.
To apply download mtz. Go to theme manager, hit menu, import, navigate to hy5.mtz, select, apply.
HY 5.8 if you like the lighter look I will leave old version up

Looks like the first one you put up (the one without the extention) was actually 5.4.
When I went into Theme Manager after downloading it I saw that the thumbnail was titled "5.4". I thought that maybe it was just a typo and installed anyway.
I just installed the newer one (with the extention) and all is working now.
Awesome theme for an awesome ROM. They just need to fix the black on black text on some of the popups.
Good work.

Okay i was asked to post my custom theme i made for the liquid v2.6 aosp rom. I spent alot of time editing the frameworks, systemUI's and certain apk's to get this look. It is a collection of themes and png's i have found throughout the web.
This theme will work on the liquid v2.6 rom, not tested on other aosp roms so use at your own risk. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOWING UP YOUR PHONE!
In this theme you will get:
Themed dialer/contacts.
1% Custom battery mod.
Black calculator.
Custom signal & 4g/3g icons, system icons...etc.
Droid eye bootscreen.
Black camera... also uploading the miui camera if you want.
Transparent pulldown with themed power widget bar.
Themed clock/alarms.
Themed setting menu.
Honeycomb style lockscreen.
Much more...
*Credits go to me and all the themers out there for this!
Just put the zip on your sd card, flash from recovery and wipe cache & dalvik before reboot. To install the miui camera apk just put on your phone and install with root explorer.
Enjoy!

Since i did all the work and most of this is pngs found on the web the list would be too long.
cam works great thank you.
This is my first attempt at T-Mobile theme engine theming. This theme is based on Sony Xperia UI and default Android Holo UI. I prefer the blue style of Android so I've not changed it much.
suggestions are welcome, requests will be considered.

Thanks to ebs512 for his template here
People's app problem fixed, thanks to pier10.

Ah, thought you were talking about the new icons discussed on the previous page. Did you set the theme to the standard theme before setting this one? A reboot might help too.

I was inspired by digitalhigh's icey theme but realized that there are never any good red themes for miui. So I decided to take it upon myself to make that happen.

If it helps with the icons - you don't even need the apk or package name for most programs. If you visit the play store link for an app on a computer, the URL will have the package name in it, and the main image shown is a .png you can download and use for the icon.
For example..."poop rearing simulator mobile":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.android.unko&hl=en
Between "id=" and "&hl" is the package name, jp.android.unko.
On the page itself, in the top-left box beneath "Poop Rearing Simulator Mobile" and "Y.soft", is the icon:
Windows clipboard doesn't like transparency, so I just save the icon, then (from chrome) drag-drop the new icon from the download bar into the template I've attached.
Scale it however you want...don't worry about the shape yet. Each one is different, but given the new MIUI style, I try to go for sweet and simple.
Since yours is red, you'd need to modify one of the overlay colors at first, but then you can just copy the layer style to the new icon, ctrl+click layer 0 to select the outline, select the new icon layer, and then hit the "add vector mask" button. Make sure to unlink the mask and layer in the case you want to scale the icon after the fact.
And just in case you (or anybody else reading) aren't sure how to do the last two (I know I avoided masks like the plague for years), refer to the highlighted spots in the attached picture for where to click to make a mask and unlink the two.
Then that's about it. I like to call my layer name whatever the package name is - and I copy/paste it right from the address bar into photoshop. Just easier to keep track of things when exporting.
And...er...sorry to jack your thread. I'd make this it's own tutorial thread, but I don't think there's a super-high demand for MIUI icon tutorials. However, feel free to share whatever you come up with in red - I'll try to do the same. If we're using the same template, then we could actually pool our resources to come up with a massive iconset.
Haha by all means post help when ever you want
I'm pretty good with Photoshop, illustrator is more up my alley but they're pretty similar. Just not much experience with android theming
I think the reason I'm having scaling issues with the .9.PNG files is because I just took a miui v5 theme and unzipped each com.android by adding a .zip extension to them.
Did you use a theme as a base or did you pull straight from a miui v5 ROM into the theme tool? Because the files seem to be in different places from v4 to v5

I did a combination of things. To extract all the v5 resources, I used MIUI Theme editor, then cleaned up the .xml files. I then used MTE to extract all the resources from the latest JB release of v4. Then it was a buttload of hunting and searching to find what elements did match up, and renaming/moving ones that did not.
However, by the looks of it, I'd guess that the scaling issues present in your screenshots are probably because you manually edited a .9 image and did something to the outside edge (definition) that it doesn't like. I had the same glitch in the compose box in MMS.apk. This is why it's essential to use the "hue" attribute when overlaying anything with color...it'll leave all the black borders untouched. Likewise, I'm actually editing a .9 image, I will cut out the inside graphics and make them their own layer before editing anything, just to be sure I don't kill the borders. .9patch is useful, but very very finnicky.
Ah yeah that would make sense, I did use the hue overlay. From what I can see the stuff I extracted doesn't have the guides that the .9's need in the first place. I Amy need to find a new rom or mtz to extract from.
It sucks because I did all the searching too, just haven't found everything haha

Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.
