Theme MIUI ONLY HY5 Dark

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.

Hey! What happened to the lockscreen animation?
I thought that was way cool. Can you put it back?

THIS THEME WORKS Perfect.. looks WAY better then stock...

EDIT: framework-res.apk DOWNLOAD ADDDED AT BOTTOM OF POST
THIS IS STILL BETA... NOT ALL GRAPHICS ARE FINISHED...
STILL NEED TO DO draw9patch...
the only mods i have done are graphic skkinning... anywhere i saw turqouise i turned it cyan blue...
the battery icon when normally green is now blue...
the background of the notification area is dark.. thinking of turning it black...
the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...
compared to old style...

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.

Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Using a file explorer that lets you mount and unmount.. copy the framework-res.apk into system/app and replace and remount. Then reboot

[Q] Grayscale UI and display

Hello.
I was just wondering - is there any option to make the phone work in grayscale by default? Some sort of global filter making everything look smoothly.black and white?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Not that I'm aware of. If you rooted your phone, you could probably find a ROM with a theme that produced a similar effect.
Can I ask why you want this effect?

Actually I don't know.. but you could use the kitchen to cook the statusbar, the pop up menu and that stuff

Theming/blacking out/inverting??

I would like to learn what is needed to be changed in a ROM/apps in order to get the blackedout / inverted look. I'm I'm wanting to do this on a cm10.1 based ROM and I know how to use apktool and other just not sure what to edit in the .XML files. I have made changes in colors.XML and drawable.XML but for some reason it does nothing for me.
Have searched and found plenty on theming but none really get in to the .XML part of.
I know there are themes and inverted gapps already out there but would still like to learn how its done.
Any help would be great and I know how to use the thanks button...

The above quote is good for changing the background of the settings list and the background of the setup when first install. If you want to get rid of the grey that is in the menus the more needs to be changed and its all found in framework-res.apk in the res/drawable xhpi folder in the form of .PNG or .9.PNG files and they include BG. Or background in the names menu_background.9.PNG is one for example.
Now onto next change how to change clock color in status bar. Just doing it one at a time sence the info is very hard to fine and not much help on it, will keep updating as I find the answers. Just exploring through files and change stuff to see what happens.
