I think people like the pre theme because its very well done. Personally, its not my style... but I think its nice
What rom are you trying to flash? Most devs release their roms without a theme.... in any such case, most themes don't affect performance as long as they are themed correctly.
Don't like it either. actually have got sick of all the hero themes to.
Uhm, why do people like you have the audacity to try and criticize peoples efforts. I personally like the theme but have no interest in using a theme. You shouldn't have created this thread, you make this forum look bad. Instead you should try and create a theme you like yourself, see how hard it is. Then make a constructive reply that would benefit someones efforts.
have you seen the newest theme for cyans 3.9? i like it, it flows well. but please do not hate his work.

Wow the fact you had the nerve to post something like this is horrible. If you dont like their work just dont flash it. I use the pretheme because its nice, clean, works with cyan3.6.8.1 and is mostly clear so that my background sets most of the theme instead of some other themes that i dont prefer (although i appreciate their work) where the stuffs color is already set.
Most Roms come looking just like your g1 should have. Maybe a custom background or clock that are easy to change or remove. So try to wipe before you install something else!
whether its looks "good" or not is based up on ur opinion, but I think a lot of people like it cause its like a theming break-through. Its something different other than just changing the colors.
Themes just provide a visual enhancement. I like it if some people look at my phone and see an awesome theme, it makes the phone look like it's got bling.
Personally, I find themes softer on the eyes and some themes are relaxing eg. Cool Blue or another one.
..&& the palm pre is a slick phone && the OS is so freshh!! omg i wish i had the full OS compatiable with my g1! i love it so much lol!! i like the OS better than the iphone

What was the point of this? You just made a thread to bash hours of hard that someone put in just because you don't like it. Lots of people like it, I do, you don't, big deal. It was obvious that this was going to push some buttons with absolutely no gain for you or anyone else.
I dont know how or why anybody above the age of 13 would take what I typed personally. I wasnt "bashing" the hard work of anybody in particular. Sorry if thats how it came off. Believe me I know these devs spend more time on this stuff than any of us deserve.
All I was trying to say is that themes are completely gay. no hard feelings

yes themes are happy. people design themes because they find enjoyment in it,and thus are made happy. people flash themes because they like the theme and are happy with the theme; therefore, making them happy. thank you for such an insightful view
fair enough you guys win. I now find themes acceptable...ill stop making fun of them
There is a great area of criticism where the person who feels the need to express their opinion does so in a constructive way.

Must. Refrain. From. ...Commenting!! *sigh*
trolling and flaming, hardly a constructive thread.
-thread closed-
It happened something i don't like and i don't understand...
liamstears took all my themed apps (about 70 of them) and all my icons from framework-res.apk an com.htc.resources.apk of my Mixed_Theme and he made his new theme with name Theme Animation 3.6.0...
I don't know how i must react...
Now the 2 themes are almost the same as they have almost all the same icons...
I can't understand why he did that...
I think that every themer must have his own identity. If you see all the themers such as he_stheone64, MaxDroid, david1171, alexdiaz, vistagamer, djdarkknight96 and others i forget now, they have their own identity and their own icons in their themes.
But with much disappointment, i realise that liamstears took almost all the icons from my Mixed_Theme, than making his own work.
I understand that to make an original theme by your own and from beggining neads much, much, much, much and much work. But it totally UNFAIR to take all icons ready made and finished from others themes.... It's tottally UNFAIR and HUGE mistake...
So in my opinion, liamstears didn't respect at all the Noumerous Hours that I spent to give to other users my viewpoint of how can their Desire HD, look like...
So to prove all these things i am saying If you see his old .zip files he had about 10 themed apps in system/app and now he has 70 apps all themed by ME... Also If you open his new theme (i mean all the .apks from his new theme) and also open all the .apks from my Mixed_Theme you will see that he has used almost all my icons...
In the beggining i didn't give much attention, but as i opened all the .apks he has in his new theme calling Theme Animation 3.6.0, everywhere there were MY icons...
The only sure thing is that we both like colorful themes. And to prove that you can see in my signature that i have made Mixed_Theme for my Milestone too, about 6-7 months ago and it was also colorful...But the BIG difference here is that we both like colorful themes doesn't mean that we must the same icons too...
How can now the users, of Desire HD section, decide what theme to use, if there are 2 theme almost the same???
I honestly admire the work of every themer here in xda, including liamstears and i also honestly admire liamstears for his several MODs (like Browser MOD which removes the limit of 5 opened tabs) and in description of my Mixed_Theme i mentioned him for that MOD, but i can not seat here and just watch things happening... and as i explain in P.S. in bottom, the MODs are different and to take all .pngs are different...
I was very tired to make my Mixed_Theme, as all themers who makes original themes by their own. We are talking about 2000 icons and about 3 weeks of work with 6-7 hours/day and i made all icons ONE by ONE from begging...
I can say more things but i am so tired and disappointed... So i stop here...
So here is the right thing that in my opinion can be done:
Conclusions are yours, but as you can understand if liamstears doesn't delete his new theme and try to give you his own theme and make his own icons from beggining, i must delete mine.... as there is no point for users to have 2 same themes with very little differences... So i will wait 1 day...
P.S. All themers, including me, take several MODs from Developers (brightness, PowerControlBar in notification bar, Modded apps like Black HtcDialer, etc). For example to include the Black HTCDialer.apk in my Mixed_Theme, i first asked he_stheone64 (as he is the developer of Black HTCDialer.apk) and after he gave me the permission, i included in my Mixed_Theme.... So to take several MODs, with the permission of developer who maded, it's completly different thing, of taking of one theme all the icons and to put them in your theme... And that is because 1)users will have 2 same themes and most important 2)you don't respect the work and the spended hours of the themer you took the icons.
The whole thing about Android is openess, but if someone's work is being used without permission or without credit being given then that's not good etiquette.
It's not for me to take sides here as I haven't used either theme but I hope you guys manage to sort things out

I totally agree with you. If someone wants to use others hard worked resources, he should definitely rely on owner's decision. I have worked on CM 6.1.3 themes and know exactly how painful task it is. Respect others hard work and bring your own ideas instead of using someone's and giving credit to yourself (without even asking him!).
If this is a formal complaint .....PM at your earliest convenience.

I agree, but that's different from open source idea...
If all of you have 2 themes almost the same, what's the point???
Every themer must have his own viewpoint on how your phones could be look like...
And every themer must have the guts to work hard to present to the users something different...
I understand where your irritation is coming from. I've had two of my large scale themes taken by a particular user and then passed off as completely his own work with him asking for donations for all his hard work. The same user is still using various fragments of my work and claiming it as his own (some people will never learn).
While is annoying and irritating, I don't think it is big enough reason to stop what you are doing. There are always going to be people that will take your work and use it or pass it off as their own. I don't think you should delete your thread/theme and stop releasing it to people as long as you still enjoy doing it.
I don't care if people ask me if they can use my work (and if someone doesn't credit me, as long as they aren't trying to pass it off all of it off as his/her own work and/or asking donations for it). In my threads, I put up a file with all my images and xml files so people don't have to rip all the images out of the various apk's, and they will only have the images from the apk's that I have themed and not the stock images in there as well.
Edit1: I was looking at the last page of your thread, and it appears that you have some users that really like your theme and enjoy using it.
Think of it this way, if people are taking your work, then you're doing something right.

Look mate, i have done such much work (as you did also) that i have changed almost ALL icons in ALL apps in /system/app. So there are not many icons left to be changed...
And the hole point for me is saperated in 2 things:
1) what's the point to be out there 2 same themes???
2) As i respect the work of all other developers-themers i demand the others to respect mine....
By the way i like colorful themes and you like minimalistics.... So users have 2 different choices... that's how the things should be.... Every themer to deposit his clear opinion.... And as i said both me and liamstears like the colorful themes... So the right thing would be for him to seat infront of his computer and search and port different colorful icons to users...
But that takes much much time, so the ready icons are sweeter....
Whilst I totally understand your point I guess you should consider this: if your work is good enough to be "copied" or "used" by someone other and claimed as his/her own, then it's good work really!
That not asking is totally lacking finesse and etiquette is another consideration of course...
I assume you contacted the thief?

I don't like to use such words...
Of course i contacted him, and after i did that he put my name in the bottom of his first post...
But i haven't realise from beggining what excatlly he have done... After i downloaded his new theme and i opened every single apk i realise the HUGE mistake of his....
In every .apk has almost all my icons...
And when i realise what was going on, i decided to make this thread and of course i didn't notify him...
I am confused now also
You seemed fine when we talked in private but now you are trying to humilate me and make me look stupid? Why? What is the point of this?
At the end of the day BOTH of us have spent days/weeks/hours on each of our themes, BOTH of us have done lots of work and BOTH of us deserve the praise for the work we have done.
Yes I have used quite a few icons from your theme but why is that different to you using multiple amounts of mods and ideas from other people?
Our themes are different and are ment for different people, the most important icons in out themes are different, a couple of icons I released in that theme of yours were a quick release why I make some of my own as I had lots of requests and just wanted to fill them requests asap.
We both have our own tastes and both want to do our own thing so why cant we just get on with it in a civilised manor?
And if our themes are so similar then why did you release yours in the first place? Knowing that mine is already there which is what yours was going to be anyway?
At the end of the day your crying because someone is using icons from your theme but hey wait a minute, If I look into your theme oh wait a minute you didnt make all of it! You have used many mods from other people and even used icons from other people! I see 1 of your icons you even got from me! I know because I say there with photoshop when I didnt like 1 icon and now you have it exactly the same!
Android OS = Open source!
Everything you release is released knowing that anyone can do what they want with it basically.
I have mentioned you in my thread and thanked you for icons but that is all thats needed, this thread isnt.
You should continue to make your theme but really you should loose the attitude.
You didn't use few of my icons, you used almost ALL my icons... and you took over about 60 apps themed by Me in system/app...
And in the morning we talked I haven't realised exactly what you did...
I don't want to humiliate you, I wrote that I admire you for you MODs like the Browser MOD you did...
But now I am telling this for 1000time...
THERE ARE 2 SAME THEMES OUT THERE...
So if you don't delete your theme and try to make it from begging to show your viewpoint you will force me to delete Mine Theme...
And in you last theme obviously you didn't spend much time...
In previous themes yes I agree you have done good work, but not in your last one, as you used almost ALL my icons and not just FEW...
And I DIDN'T take a single icon from anybody that's for sure...
And if you think I'm crying what can I say???
I agree Android=Open Source but you tell me what's the point to exist 2 same THEMES out there for the users????
P.S Read few post above to see the opinion of another themer here and try to realise that it's nothing wrong with my attitude but with yours...

Liamstears, there's a difference between open source and being polite. It's fine if you're modifying Kalagas work, and use it for yourself, but repack it as your own and release it is just wrong.
Now, just say that you're sorry, and that's it. And next time, i hope you'll ask before you release other peoples work without permission.
Liamstears, copyright still exists in open source. You can never claim the work as your own, unless explicitly given that right by the copyright holder.
My most important point here is that if one themer takes almost all icons from another themer, then the users will be confused and they will not be able to select a theme for their phone... That's why I insist that every one of the themers must have their unique identity...
And unfortunately the identity of a theme is made by how it's be looking, that means by the icons...

I agree with both of you and that is why he is mentioned in my thread and thanked for his icons but what I dont get it why he was ok with it and then decided to open this thread?
Also im sorry if hes p***** off I didnt mean to but I dont see why hes going to the extent of saying he will delete his theme theres no need for that. He does good work and should keep it up, people like his theme and mine for different reasons and people choose 1 or the other and people like the choice, you shouldnt take it down.

They were a lot users that liked your previous releases too...
Now all users that liked my theme, they find it also in your latest release...

Yes I understand and agree BUT I think themes are different, I have had people say they prefer your theme to mine and people say they prefer mine to yours after my 3.6.0 release, both themes should exist
But how can be different themes if both use almost the same icons in all apps in system/app and almost the same icons in framework-res.apk and in com.HTC. resources.apk
There are no other icons inside the phone...

Okay so first of all, let me just say, I have no idea when it comes to creating a theme for any platform, so nothing I post up here will never be created because I just don't 1, have the time to learn how-to and 2, I don't want to learn how to, excuse my ignorance.
However, I do know my way around photoshop, so with a spare hour at work today, I started to create this.
By all means, if someone with the knowledge wants to take a shot at converting this, go for it, just let me know before you do .
*Few more icons added!
*What the homescreen could/might look like.
It's very simple and eye attractive, looks good. i can't do anything though, same as you in that department.
Clearly this isn't going to go anywhere, worth a try though.
Sadly, I do not have any practical experience in this subject, but this topic does have a tutorial on what you need to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8504851&postcount=2(the topic currently says that the tutorial is 'temporarily down..' so just keep checking it, I would assume he is modifying the tutorial to make it work with gingerbread roms) To create the battery and the white app slider background, you would need to modify the Framework.res.apk
I think this theme looks great, although I do not know the limitations of themeing in sense 2.1 roms; so may need to ask an experienced themer on which method to take, flashable.zip or Skin Chooser theme.. My best advice is to ask the guy who made the thread I linked to you, as he has converted many themes, if he has the time; and you can supply the images, you'll have a working theme in no time
I already cooked the frameword-res.apk last night, it looks odd because the kitchen doesn't theme the recent apps section so that has got the carbon black look that Sense has, I think the theme would be really nice and clean, and could be done in a variety of colours to treat each persons needs. Simple and effective!
If anyone would like the cooked framework let me know, like I said, it's far from done. We'll call it Version 0.0.0.1
Looks really nice, clean and minimal
Would like to se it finished and in some darker color - greyish
That's what I was just saying, in a variety of colours so each user could choose their own from a selection. Like I said, I'd happily finish creating this but only if it's going to go somewhere.

Maybe you could pm he_stheone64 about help to do this, he knows his way around theming with the new gingerbread framework. As I understand a few things has changed from the old 2.1 to the new 2.3 release.
Hope this will succeed for you
I don't WANT to approach anyone, if someone has some spare time on their hands and wants something to do, I'm sure someone will say they would like to convert this for us. All I want to know is whether or not I should finish the PSD's, VOYE VOTE VOTE

Hence the 'Inspired' in the title
The Missing Rom, Sense 1, 2,3 are more than just HTC's UI. They are the way we Interact with our Incredible. As i write this There are Dev's and Dev teams making great strides on what they feel will be the greatest ROM. I have spent many years working on car project only to find that I am never happy with it. A good projects are never finished. With all the Sense rom's you get flavors of sense. With the senseless roms you get no Sense. With this rom you get some Sense and Launcher Pro. I have removed everything that doesn't work with Launcher Pro.
This is my first shot at a Rom, I plan to continue learning and devolving.
Sense widgets gone
Battery draining apps gone
Rom zip file is less than 110 MB
Sense clock and calander still there
camera works
If you want apps install them, the market is full.
Thanks to Jakresge, and every Dev. on this site.

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Give it a chance guys. What have all sense 1 roms done? Changed little from stock? Exactly.
Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD
No offense either bud. Its just... well... how exactly did you create "your ROM" on your phone?
Did you do a nand and then expect people to flash your back-up?
I don't understand what your doing or why. Normally ROM development takes place on a computer with some knowledge of how things work in these ROMs so we can make them better. And to make them more appealing to the other users of these forums or whoever.
Simply installing Launcher Pro or whatever else does not meen you have created a ROM. You have just installed Launcher Pro to a ROM, that is all.
However, if you would like to get into "real" ROM development there are a many valuable tools and resources in theses very forums to help you get started. Not to mention the devs that roam around here as well that would more than likely be willing to pull you to the side and help you out, provided you just ask them.
I want you to pay attention to this next part ok? The name of this website is called xda- wait for it... wait for it... "DEVELOPERS" yup, xda-developers. Not xda-I installed launcher pro to some craptastic ROM and I expect people to actually use it.com
Until then friend, maybe you should try something else.

A little harsh but funny. Gotta give the guy props for having the balls to post it. I myself made many kitchen built ROMs for personal use and never dared post them. Appears to me that many of the custom ROMSs here are just kitchen builds so what one more?

Actually no. No offense bud but I don't think any of the seasoned devs on here use the kitchen to "build" a ROM. All the devs I work with manually port our ROMs peice by peice. Less error in the long run. The only reason I have ever used the kitchen is to deodex, zipalign and sign. I don't even hardly use it for that anymore. 9 times out of 10 the kitchen is not capable of doing the things that we do to our ROMs.
Never ment to crush dreams or whatever with my first response, I just think if we are going to do something that makes changes to or effects other peoples devices we should take the time and do it right.

Actually no. No offense bud but I don't think any of the seasoned devs on here use the kitchen to "build" a ROM. All the devs I work with manually port our ROMs peice by peice. Less error in the long run. The only reason I have ever used the kitchen is to deodex, zipalign and sign. I don't even hardly use it for that anymore. 9 times out of 10 the kitchen is not capable of doing the things that we do to our ROMs.

Does that mean you didn't flash it? We all start somewhere. I did not mean to insult anyone. But there is a gap in the Rom selections. I like some of the sense apps that you lose when going senseless. I also don't like the button layout of sense. And the battery draining sense widgets. That is what I have done filled a hole

Good to know that your building your own ROMs. Its hard to tell from all thats posted who to trust as a dev and who's just a hack. No offense to the op. CaptainKrtek had a post in the Eris forum last year about what it takes to be a real dev here, wish I could find it again had some good info in it.
I will update my op I was more/less saying that I am new to this kinda thing and don't call myself a developer like a nurse doesn't call themselves Doctor, or a drafter doesn't call themselves an engineer.

If you really want to be a dev then start hanging out in chef central. The advice I had originally said came form captainkrtek actually was from cyanogen. I read it over a year ago when I was playing with dsixda's kitchen and thought of posting my own ROM. I posted a link below as I think its appropriate. Not sure why our dev section here isn't as nice as the Eris forum, they have a lot more info over there and being a former Eris owner I miss it.

Hi,
I am new to this site and have been looking through all the different themes, but I can't find exactly what I am looking for and I have no idea how to go about making a theme myself. I have searched everywhere for a particular theme, but can't find anything even close, anywhere. Would it be possible to request a theme here? I have an LG Optimus phone. I would like the main color to be a light pink and more of a smooth wallpaper look, rather than a tiled wallpaper. I don't like a cluttered look at all. I really like the "girly skulls" and was hoping to have that be the main theme. Not the real looking skulls, but more of the cutesy girl skulls with big eyes and bows. If anyone can help me, It would be greatly appreciated. Below are some of the skullies that I like to give you an example of what I am talking about. And, I also love peace signs. If that could be incorporated into the theme at all without cluttering up the screen, I would love that!
If I shouldn't have posted this here, I truly apologize. Just let me know so that I can post it in the proper place.
Welcome
Hmmm try the search button I bet its already there
Otherwise make it yourself
