Ok folks, my friend just got a hero and we were talking about why to root. I showed him several ROMs from this site and all the cool themes. We got to talking about how cool it would be if there was a STEAMPUNK themed ROM out there.
Here's the rub... I SUCK at theming.
I looked at the "buufed" rom and I like some of the style, but it's just not quite what I'm looking for. Props to the developer of that ROM because it's very thorough. This is the depth I'd like the Steampunk theme to have, but I just don't know how to do it. I've never built a ROM from the ground up, so I don't even know where to start.
Is anyone out there interested in a project like this, or could someone help me know what to do?
Thanks!

A steam punk theme would be pretty awesome
It has begun...
Ok... I have a great deal of respect for all you devs and themers out there. This is a beast. Time-consuming and not very forgiving...
I have started working on my steampunk theme. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far. By no means is this a complete theme. I am using ZenHeroFX 2.0 by nfinitefx45 as my base. Credit to all artists/devs for their work.
I have themed the notification pull-down as well, but I don't have a screenie of that yet. Also, I themed the stock sense rosie, but (again) no screencap yet. I'm curious what y'all think...

Looks cool so far.
Wow. You're a fast learner! Here are some clear notification bar icons that I made. You can use them so that the black squares wont show up around the icons in the notification bar. Just unzip the zip file, and you'll see the folders that the icons are supposed to go into. Good luck!

(when I say clear, I mean that they are white with a clear background)

Awesome! Thanks. That file is really helpful! I'll post more screencaps when I can do some more work on the theme.

This is looking really good. Here's another theme I found a while back that has some of the same elements of csrom and your current build. I've never used it, but maybe something in there will help you, or maybe this dev can help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478570
wow! this looks ... awesome! not usually an "extreme theme" kinda guy, but this I would use!
sadly though, I am using CM6 or AOSP, so would not actually end up using it, but I will be watching this thread for S&Gs anyway. the end result should look spectacular.
if I could add one "suggestion"? Get rid of the "branding" (SteamMod in big letters on the lockscreen?), I would think ppl would rather have something less intrusive in the look. I know I would. something clean and mechanical. just a IMHO kinda suggestion, great work regardless!

No problem-o... I appreciate the suggestion. Funny thing, too... I was using some of the mods from this on my daily use, and I thought "I need to take off that lettering 'cuz it's getting on my nerves." I'm just going to use it as the splash screen when sense loads rather than on the lock screen.
I have to take a break from this for a couple of days, but hopefully I can work on it some next week. Here's where I'm going to have most of my problems... DISTRIBUTION. I can theme my own phone b/c I know what I'm editing... I just am not sure how to make it so others can use it without bricking their phone. Any ideas? I hate Metamorph... was thinking more of a flashable zip? Or maybe just a themed version of a full ROM? ??

I may be way off, but I'm a Hero user and digital scrap "designer". I have photographed and extracted some Steampunk watch parts that you are welcome to use if you like for your theme.

The DL links are right below the pics for each post. Again, if I'm way off and you think my stuff sucks, disregard this post!
I love your theme btw!
I have abandoned this project... it was too big for me to take on. If anyone wants to pick this up...?

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Hey everyone,
First contribution here : a boot screen animation based on KITT's scanner as you will see below.
I made it blue, but I plan on making it red and green as well as soon as possible. I may take requests, provided I have enough time to make them happen.
WARNING : This is for 480x800 phones only!
Click on the thumbnail below to obtain a small animated preview. It looks much, much better running on the phone itself, but I am limited in image size so I can't show it in its full glory.
Don't hesitate to provide remarks/suggestions/insults.
nice... like it a lot...
Awesome.

Pretty cool pretty cool you should add something to it man like an android at the end or something like that
Very nice indeed! I have modified it for MDPI devices (since I own one).
@AntoniusMaximus : May I attach it here? Credits go to you, ofcourse!
Sure mate, feel free to attach it here.
I'll be working on red and green versions this week-end, so I'll update the thread accordingly.

this is my first post here on xda, but i've been lurking for a long time. i really like this bootanimation.
i'd love to see an android in there, but done very subtle. perhaps something near black on black?
as-is is rocking, though. thank you!
best,

A red one packaged with the sound the cylons or KITT make would be awesome.
Yeah, plz make a red cyclon boot ani with a caprica intro cylon sound!
uhmmm did u ever make the red version of this boot animation? REALLY need it

I'd love to do it but I'm only familiar with the resolution of my phone. Some widgets are bound to procentage while some strictly to pixels, It would be hard for me to do it without having the phone/preview.
Nice. Reminds me of an old Metroid game.

Let's see if I will get a higher range phone in the near future so I can develope in a greater scale.

Hi All
AndrMatr here.
This thread is here for all of those who want the perfect boot animation for their device but don't have time to find it or make it themselves. I am 'opening up shop' for the first time and am willing to take requests for personal boot animations.
The best part is: It's FREE!
So, if you want a highly personalized boot animation, post it here and I will see what I can do with the tools that I have.
Post your resolution as well!
PM me about it!

Hello. I will take you up on your offer... I just got my Nexus 6 a few days ago and would to see a different boot animation. I have yet to see a custom Nexus 6 animation. I'm thinking of a black background with "Nexus 6" or "Motorola Nexus 6". I'll leave the rest up to you. The screen resolution is 2,560 by 1,440. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. If you have any questions, let me know.
I've been trying to make one from this gif at 1440x2560 (resizing the original gif to 1200px and padding the rest) but haven't had any luck getting it to work (posted about it here).

I have plenty of room, but the animation doesn't display. I see the LG logo until my launcher loads; it's the same problem I have when trying to create it myself (I've made several attempts).

Oh. I don't watch anime, I have college and work, and on top of that I make custom boot animations. Try to think of something else that'll be a little easier, like a simple logo that I can make explode and rebuild itself or a SMALL gif you like. I can make any logo cycle its colors through the rainbow... I made the UPS logo spin around...

No prob. How about creating an animation in which a bubble explodes and "Android" comes out of the explosion? Make it many bubbles floating around, and just before the boot happens let the text come out of the explosion. Get me?
