Disclaimer:
Sorry about the lack of updates, have family health issues that have been taking up majority of my free time, I am hoping to get some more work on my theme in this weekend.
1: This is my first theme creation for any phone and have become totally addicted to working on this.
2: The inverted flip clock background I took from Knightwolf's inverted flip clock
3: The theme injector in the zips I have attached is by VillainRom and want to give them credit where it is due. The newer ones I will be posting as of 5/13/2013 on have them credited in the script during install.
4: Please do be patient as I am trying to juggle a ton of stuff like others on this forum and working on themes and anything rom related is extremely time consuming.After starting this I have a lot more respect for those who have done this for years on a lot larger level
(Making something as simple as the battery Icon literally meant creating over 100+ customized PNG's from scratch, finishing it, and redoing all of them again when I didn't like the way it came out in the first place... ugh)

Wifi Signal - New! not part of flashable theme 6/24/13
Spiderman boot - requires manual install see directions
Boot animation preview:
The previous file that was linked from my dropbox account was the wrong file, for those who flashed it I apologize. That had issues with the keyboard and dialer. The one hosted on androidfilehost is correct. (SpiderBeta52913.zip)
I have tested it on Viper rom and Blues and Jazz rom. May work with others but can't guarantee, as with anything you flash, please create a backup first before flashing. Feed back appreciated.
To install boot animation: use esfile explorer or root file explorer, copy the hTC_bootup_one.zip to the system\customize\resource folder and overwrite the existing file. I suggest renaming the old one or backing it in case you want to go back to the original. I know the file is a little bit in size but I have to lower the quality on the jpeg files and don't have the time right now lol.
I themed the large flip clock, made custom signal, internet icons, and battery icons. I also customized various notifications icons (usb debugging, usb connected, beats audio, ... etc). I am working on a keyboard, dialer, wallpapers, more icons, and contact pics... just haven't had as much time as I would like.
The flasher is from Villain Rom, the base of the theme (majority of it (pretty much anything blue ) is from Timber Wolf's Blues and Jazz rom. The smaller sense clock and weather animation came from PCB Blue VR theme by Pete2506 ( I changed the color of the numbers). The dialer and keyboard are from the forums ( i have to track down the post and owner to give credit which i will do shortly).
forgot
I had to reboot and then replace the the widget on my screen for it to show. Works great for me so far. Animations are working as well. Looking to tweak and possibly do a spiderman theme for the One shortly
looks awesome thanks!
Updates coming
I wasn't quite happy with the way it looked, I went over the numbers and letters again. I also created a spider battery with percentage. This took a more time than I wanted but its done. Is kinda small but only way I could make it fit. I'm trying to get help in making it into a flashable zip! will post as soon as its ready.
Looks very nice. I know how much time goes into making things look "Just Right." You need help getting that flashable later shoot me a PM :thumbup:

Updated versions in flashable zip
I used knightwolf 's inverted clock zip and backgrounds as a base for this. I was going crazy with the animation of the flip panels being slightly off. If i can get them smooth the red web background will be put back in. They can be flashed in recovery and you are good to go!
Pictures and last 2 versions
Here are the pics and the the version of the clock with the red web behind it. The numbers are a little jaggy in that iteration as well. I'm using the colorspiderclock currently and happy with the way it came out. Might work on a couple other clocks shortly. Thinking maybe a punisher themed one .
ugh forgot to attach
For some reason I didnt attach the different color, non web version, last post for a little bit
Spiderman battery w/ percentage
Ok i lied,I packed my battery with knighwolf's battery flashing zip
Ton of time and work went into this and yet still didn't come out how i wanted it. But here it is non the less!
Theme / icons coming along
Just finished the signal bars. Will redo all the zips for flashing my parts in a but. Kinightwolf pointed out that it previously didn't credit Villain Rom for their injector. Hoping to get theme finished tonight.
addicted...
first thing i did when i walked in the door.... Think it looks much better, feed back anyone?\
LCD Screen Protector For HTC Touch HD2
Who will i get the themes and app of this model.
Is there another zip for the updated web signal bar? I think it looks much nicer than the original.

Updated zips later tonight hopefully
I'm trying to make a zip to install just the signal bar, if you notice in the pictures it changes some other icons to just white. I am going to change the icons it installs later tonight hopefully. I spent another couple hours cleaning up the battery icon and and the Flip clock. I managed to get the Battery to not look jagged and gave it more a 3d look. Same thing for the flip clock, I made the numbers look better and added 3d effects to the webbing on the inside. I still need to finish removing the white spots under some of the numbers as well. Once those are finished up tonight I will pack them up and post them. Here is a pic of the progress so far. ( I am being a little bit anal about the work I do because I am hoping to only have to do it this one time and then just be happy )
Getting there..
Didn't get a chance to work on it much last night, had a family emergency. Did get to the 1x 3g and 4g icons... feedback? Not sure if I like them the way they are. Just need to knock out the wifi icon, phone vibrate, and a couple others and then I can put all the updated packages up.
Finally got some more time.
I finally got some more time to find a couple of the icons that were buried. Thanks to help from people on the board pointing me in the right direction
(Timberwolf and Knightwolf) . I am close to releasing a flashable "beta" version. Will include the flip clock, battery, signal, data, and various notification icons. I don't want to impose a keyboard into it just yet. Here is a couple pictures of in its current form.
Feedback definitely wanted...
Upload coming..
Didn't have a chance to work on anything this last week. Did the tough mudder last weekend and have been juggling family, work, and fixing my car this week. I plan on getting a flashable zip up by tomorrow night for the signal, clock, battery, and various icons. Works with Viper Rom and Blues and Jazz (I am using it currently layered ontop of the theme from the latter).
Posting once I get home. I messed up the zip ( keyboard and dialer look crappy) . Fixing then uploading

Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!
Download - Theme (Updated - 2/18/2009)
Download - Wallpaper
Updates:
- Trimmed bottom line from menu launcher.
- Changed menu launcher arrows to white rather than transparent.
- Corrected folder distortion.
- Corrected Wallpaper Gallery crash.

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.
well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.
aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.
Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.
well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.
Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=150891&d=1233074919
Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.
Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D
I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

other than that...the wallpaper gallery and the folder fix everything seems exactly the same.
still a great theme.

As far as the arrow in landscape mode, I'll fix that up as soon as I'm back home. I'll have an update up at about 2am most likely. Let me know if you notice anything else so I can patch it up too. Thanks.
Call me picky but, I just couldn't seem to find a theme that I really liked. Android 2.0 comes close but I liked the red of the blur ROM - so, wanting a red-ish theme and a smaller app drawer at the bottom, I decided to make my own theme.
I also seem to be a bit of a rarity in that in the main, I actually like the default status bar icons so I don't feel it necessary to make the battery round or android shaped or anything. So, on mine, the battery looks like a battery...I dunno, seemed kinda logical to me ;-) I added a little touch of colour to some of them but nothing OTT I don't think (I really like my 3G activity icon now - reminds me of an old modem with status LED's
There are a couple of things that I pinched out of other people's ROMs (gmail icon from djengiz), widget background from ZilverZurfarn's melange theme but most of it has either been replaced or re-coloured by me
Thanks to everyone I've nicked stuff from and anyone else I haven't "credited".
And, of course, a big thanks to Cyanogen for his awesome ROMs
It runs OK for me - I've only got a G1 so use it on anything else at your own risk.
Guarantees :
1) I will mysteriously disappear should this break everyone's phones.
2) I probably can't fix it if it doesn't work (mention it anyway though)
3) That it will not work on your Nokia N95
4) Or your Sony Ericsson C905
5) That I've not finished tweaking it
Todo list:
=======
*** Status bar background - re-thinking the brushed metal look - let me know what you think about this
*** Power widget background (still using ZilverZurfarn's but want to get my own there ASAP)
* Browser link shortcut icon needs re-colouring (forgot for this one)
** Analogue Clock Widget
* App drawer handle needs "tidying" - I'm not as happy as i could be with it
Hope you like it - let me know how it works out for you.

Update to 4.2.5
============
I've re-done most, if not all of the icons that I just pinched from the blur ROM and I've been a bit more selective of the stuff that I've recoloured as I thought it was looking a little too dark previously. I've also taken out a lot of the un-used png's that have been hanging around as the ROMs have developed.
I initially used the Android 2.0 theme as a template for mine and there were a few files in there that could come out and some from the blur ROM that I'd copied over and weren't used on the G1. Oh, and I've also deleted all thumbs.db files in all my drawables folders - so it should be a little smaller now and putting less un-needed crap on your phones.
I've been using this myself for a couple of days now and not had any FCs at all so I think you're good to go
Theme-porn follows:
I do love the design of the power widget, I may have to steal that for my alienaqua theme, it has similar colors.
Really nice choice of colors, great job on this and reading the post made me laugh. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.
This looks real stylish.
A lot of nice details and as prash said: the power widget is beautiful.
that lock screen is sick. one of the best i have seen !
Edit: just realised it was from the 2.0 theme lol. but nice the anyways
hey what lockscreen is that?
I just downloaded this theme, and the app drawer tab for me is still the same as cyanogen's stock one that he had and not like the android 2.0 type tab you have in the screenshots. any thoughts on how to get it to look like that?
It includes both the Advanced Launcher and the standard one - if when you press the home key, it doesn't give you the choice, use the application manager to remove the default setting (you can switch back if you don't like it).
I originally wasn't going to used the advanced launcher but it is much more stable these days and I haven't had any problems or slow down with it.
It's the only one of the two that I have skinned so far - I will update it in the next day or two so that they are both skinned
Thanks for the positive comments everyone This was only something I was doing for myself but like someone mentioned above, it's in the details and I wasn't happy with only doing a few bits and pieces so I went further and reached a point where I was happy to share it with others.
There's still a few things I want to do yet but I'm having the weekend off and will get back to it on Monday
If it i can leave it alone for that long... ;-)
Cheers,
Smiffy.
great looking theme!
lockscreen looks good but dont function nicely
I am not too crazy about the red but otherwise this is a really good looking theme. It's very fast and stable.. no force closes or other crashes yet. Great work!
I just installed this theme over CyanMod 4.2.4. It works well with no issues so far.
Well, there's a few new icons in 4.2.4 so I've updated my theme and played with a lot of the new stuff.
It's working OK for me with no FCs but caveat emptor and all that...
Thanks for all the positive comments. I've also gone back to the standard lock screen for the time being - as much as I didn't care about the stretching issue in landscape, I wasn't overly happy about nicking someone else's work so I may do my own in the near future.
Might not though so don't hold your breath or anything - in fact, I actually like this standard one...we'll see.
Oh, and about the analogue clock - I'm going to make it slightly darker but not do much more than that to it - do people even use it?
Cheers,
Smiffy.

I'm very new to android dev/hacking and I hope this is acceptable conduct (taking someone else's theme and putting a different spin on it) but I really liked Frost Remix NexTheme but I wanted a different battery notification icon, updated charging icons and thanks to some prodding from ludeboy, I felt the default settings text should be changed so I made my own spin on a theme which I'm posting here for your using pleasure.
Change Log...
10/2/2010
Theme Frost Remix from 9/27/2010 (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788294)
Changed secondary text from baby blue to green
Replaced battery icons and updated charging icons from "D" variant of Fightspit's Super Circle Battery mod (Thanks for porting s44 - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791886&page=3)
As soon as a figure out how to turn this theme into a rom I will and I'll get that posted but for the time being, here I have attached the framework-res and twframework-res.
To install - copy both files to your system/framework folder and restart your phone.
****This has been tested on my phone and works fine but as always - use at your own risk but let me know if you run into any problems...and always back up your originals ******
Big Thanks to ludeboy for the request to identify what xmls to change for color mods (I'm fairly up to speed on how the theme engine works), frostman88 for the initial theme and s44 for porting over the battery mod!
Works great bud! Just installed it and love it. Any way you can make the battery indicator, wifi meter, vibrate phone "lines", and the icons from the pull down menu when selected the same green as the text? I have a green type theme going on and would love it all to match. If not its cool since I have my notification bar hidden on home screen anyways but figured I could ask. Thanks for your work.

I'll look into that - I like the green on black and do also currently like the green thing going on. I'm going to do some more tinkering but my creative is lacking from a graphical standpoint so if anyone has great ideas - If I like them I'll look at them and either roll another flavor or build it into what I have here.

Short Answer -
framework-res.apk\res\color-hdpi\zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml
framework-res.apk\res\color\zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml
(I think the first file is the only file that actually had to be modified but the second file was a few steps of color different from the first so I just modified both of them)
Long Answer -
It took me a little time to get familiar with how the themeing (styles, layouts, etc) worked but I think I have a pretty good handle on this. To figure out what controlled the text color I dumped the settings.apk, identified the layouts and styles, traced the styles backwards until I worked my way back into the framework-res.apk and then located that it was pointing to the color file of zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub
I spent about 5 hours digging but now knowing the how the colors, layout and styles work I could most likely have done it in 15 minutes.
Ah right, you know I saw it pointed to a specific color, like color1, color2, color3, but I had been up for about 19 hours with 5 hours of sleep and really did not feel like trying to trace it back to whatever else apk.
So overall I had about 30 min to dig through the xmls.
Darn, I'm so peeved right now. In the time it took for you to post this up,
I went and Odin Restored my phone, re-clean deodex + aosp'ed it,
used the Black Mod theme in Metamorph,
and then applied the D Circle Battery,
and backed it up like 5 times. If i'd have seen this sooner, it would have saved me so much time
Thanks for this. I really like Frostman's theme, but I did want the circle battery indicator, and I also really like the green text.
Works good. I like the green and the battery. Thanks

I copied the battery mod into the System/framework folder, first, and it borked my wallpaper back to the underwater live wallpaper, and then I kept getting FCs when I tried to open Root Explorer again. After I restarted, I was able to get the other file in, using Root Explorer, and I was able to reset my wallpaper. Nothing big, but I thought you might like to know.

Thanks - I am guessing that could be something to do with root explorer possibly. I do not use root explorer and currently am doing all my pushes using adb. I'll look at root explorer and see if I can explain what happened (guessing maybe a dependency thing but who knows).

Credits:
sk806 for his power control widgets and framework (I just themed what he did)
adrynalyne for Das BAMF!
MicroMod777 and Megarek for their notification icons
droidpirate.com (couldn't find the author of the post) for the cyan 4GLTE icons. Also big thanks to droidpirate for the other battery icons!
bgill55 for the location icon removal mod
whoever made the cyan themed Rosie.
TEAMANDIRC for making it all possible.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BREAKING YOUR PHONE. Make a backup first, and then you won't have to worry about that.
This theme works with the new Das BAMF 1.5. It should work on any deodexed Sense rom. I've attached a cyan-themed Rose skin. I've sent a couple pms to skins guys and can't seem to find where it came from. If you made it or know who did let me know, so I can either give credit or just link to the thread.
Steps to install:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Do a nandroid backup
3. Install .zip from wherever it is on your sd card
4. Wipe cache
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Boot up and enjoy!
The first boot takes a while, it always does when you're messing with the framework. Wait it out! If it hangs for a long time (like 5 or 10 minutes) then pull the battery, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache again.
This has only been tested on BAMF, but it should work with anything sk806's mod works with, as well. Please try it out on other roms and report back.
Check out some of my work at www.RootzWiki.com, and hit THANKS if you like it! @CuddlyNinja on twitter, RMHisCOOL on gtalk. Hit me up with any issues.
Download the theme here.
Coming soon:
- More battery options
- Some themed app icons (Amazon, Angry Birds, Calculator, Browser, Dropbox, Ebay, Facebook, Fruit Ninja, Gmail, Nook, Gtalk, Handcent, Messages, IMDB, Kindle, Movies by Flixster, Navigation, Pandora, Phone, Bunch of twitter apps, Rom Manager, SetCPU, Sky News, SNESoid, Stumble Upon, TFLN, Ti Backup, X-box, XDA and Youtube coming up first, because I have those)
- Better 4G toggle icon

Very awesome, it's about time we got some unique themes.
Well done sir. How would anyone think this would look with a more gingerbread than froyo feel? You know, the sharp lines and cut 90 degree angles? I think it would look pretty damn sexy!
You mean like the CM rom that just dropped? I can port those icons over to Sense, if anyone's interested.
This theme looks amazing. I'm new to installing themes onto my phone, so I have a few questions.
I installed the theme just fine I think, but the only thing that changed is the top bar that shows my battery life, time and signal strength. How do I come about making my phone look like the 3rd thumbnail in the original post? Does it have something to do with that Cyan.apk file?
EDIT:
I successfully installed the Cyan.apk file via Super Manager and selected the Cyan skin in the Personalize tab. Only thing now is that I really like the way the clock looks on the 3rd thumbnail as well as the bar that holds all the volume control. Could anyone tell me how to get my homescreen to look like the 3rd thumbnail? I'm also missing the wallpaper.
Any help would be appreciated.
The clock is a widget called SiMi Clock, with all of the colors changed to cyan. You make cyan by putting the red all the way down, and green, blue and alpha all the way up. The power control widget is called Extended Controls, which lets you pick whatever toggles you want and what color to have the "on". The bottom widget is AudioManager with a cyan skin. You can find the skin in the market by searching "AM Skin cyan" and it'll pop right up. I've attached the wallpaper to the OP. Is there anything else you you'd like to know about my setup?
Thank you so much for your timely response. Everything is perfect now and the set up is amazing.
No problem. I'm glad you're all set up now!
Hello XDA,
This is my first time releasing anything so I'm pretty exited. With that said please forgive anything I've omitted in said excitement.
I used to use RetroDroid by nhnt11 on CM7 because...well I really like the idea of running a custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI and disguising it as AOSP 2.2 . Looking around I did not see any themes for MIUI for doing so, so....here we are. I don't know if anyone else will be interested in such, but I made it so I decided to share it
I use the term "made" very, very, loosely. I based most of the images from 2.2 ROM dumps and various sources about the internet. Like many I'm not positive of the origin of all the images I used, and while I'll do my best to give credit where credit is due I'm sure I'll forget something. So, if you see your stuff and want credit or want it gone please let me know.
Consider this a "beta" theme. Haha...I know right a beta theme... I still have a LOT to do. Partly because I'm still learning, partly because I only themed what my phone uses for now. I only have one phone to test it with (incredible, official 2.3MIUI) so if your interested in using it and somethings not working right (or you just have suggestions) let me know. I'll be using this myself, and will be working on it as often as possible but randomly and with no obvious pattern to updates.
Thanks goes out to;
Джаггернаут over at miui.us for great guide to theming MIUI
nhnt11 for the inspiration
the MIUI devs that work so hard to bring us awsome ROMs
Google and all their devs for making an awsome OS and constantly improving on there UI design
probably somone else...
Screenshots or it didn't happen? Well, check this post's attachments!
So whats themed so far?
Launcher2
Music*
Messaging*
Gmail*
Framework
SystemUI
Lockscreen
Icons
*here because they're in there, but not much is done
That's it for now.
There's nothing a MIUI theme can do to harm your phone, but...If it does its not my fault. Period.
Downloads?.....you actually want do download it??

V1.03
Added more systemUI stuff including but not limited to a new pull-down grabby thingy(my first EVER .9 pngs, man was that fun)
Launcher2 mods added - started modding the music widget, new folder icons and in folder image. (Planning on trying to mod any widgets I can to match the geniewidget/powerwidget)
Super cool text color changes to go along with a new in folder image (thanks bsbabcock for pointing that out. There's a lot more inconstancy with text colors like that and I can use all the help I ca get finding them all.)
Some more stuff I'm forgetting
Reverted some framework stuff that was causing issues
V1.02
Added some framework.
Tweaked various systemUI icons and added a bunch of new ones.

Nice, thanks ! I'll give it a try later
Glad to see there's at least a couple people interested in nostalgia. I'll be back and forth from the computer today but I'l be working on finishing up the status bar (wifi, numbered battery, notifications and maybe some more data connectivity icons) let me know if you guys see anything glaring you'd like prioritized.
You make me so happy.... My G1 is definitely missed
Update coming later today with 1% battery option(my gosh that took forever to make - and yes, I mean make), wifi icon, themed framework, lots of sysUI additions, and some stuff I'm forgetting.

You should add Droid Sans in to give this that polished look Great work!
memories coming back now
Nice theme. I gotta admit I really liked plain Froyo.
A couple quick observations. I suggest white text title on folders, and somehow more contrast/visibility of toggles. The meizu themes are a good example of highly visible toggles. Appears to have the makings of a very sharp (light) theme. Good work.
