Hey guys so I just need a few tips on how to start off on theme developing, I'm still a n00b and just need starter tips eg:
What I'd need to create a developing environment.... What programs, Will I need to be on Ubuntu or any other Linux OS.
I have some really good ideas for a few themes and lockscreen morphs but I have no idea where to start. I am pretty experienced in Photoshop and know what I'm doing there but other than that I'm clueless.
Thanks
Stu
Same here but a proper n00o tutorial is nowhere to be founded. Most I found already suppose you to know a lot about building apk's or ROM's...
Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?

I love this theme and wish this for my Desire
+1 on that one!
+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.
Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Nice, can't wait!
Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?
Can't wait for this theme!!!
I would love this theme on my Nexus One!
+1... Theme is amazing!
+1 on this one!

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

I tried decompiling the standard t-mobile sample theme apk, and copying the res folder and Manifest.xml then re-compiling and signing, but it wont compile.. can someone help me out?
Hi I kinda got some help with the themes and I read about the guide written about theming which was great! I have a few questions that need to be answered if someone wouldn't mind helping Help please all you themers
1. Is theming easier for Cyanogenmod or Miui? (Cause I heard Cyanogenmod is relativity new to themes right?)
2. Does anyone know how to convert a iphone lockscreen that was made out of Java and css to android? (Ex. is this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4yhjPwsrX4
3. Does the noobie guide refers to Cyanogenmod themeing or Miui theming?
4. Would anyone that has ported Iphone themes before, would mind helping along the way if she/he wouldn't mind
Sorry mods, I posted my questions in the general themes section before but no responses besides one Thank you for reading
Any help anyone
Any themers out there??
Someone help please
I've tried both CyanogenMod and miui theme editing for my own use and find miui far easier, mainly because the theme isn't an APK and doesn't require signing.
