[THEME] UPDATED 4/2/2011 Full transparent theme 1.0 for LeeDroid 2.3d/AuraxTSense v8

Full transparent theme tested on Leedroid 2.3d, AuraxTSense v8.4
This is hacked together of different peoples App draws and Notification bars, along with blue touches from the infamous carbon blue theme and now with Clear Glass Sense [esk0Glass 1.0].
Also has power notification widget.
In short the only credit i take is patching them all together so hope you guys approve.
UPDATE ON WAY HOPEFULLY !!! TESTED WORKING ON LeeDroid2.3d !!!!
Just waiting on permission from the maker of the zip I based it on.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
http://www.multiupload.com/52HQJ8OZZZ The excitement was too much, If anyone objects to me using anything in the theme they have added let me know and I'll remove it.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
Please let me know what you think and post compatible roms.
The LG Bubbles.apk looks awesome with this you can find it here :

-----Please use the thanks button, This took me a long time to get working......ENJOY !!!----------

hi
good job, nice theme
ps:Take shoot me on market for make screen shoot it's free ;-)

Nice!
I wish there would just be option to use Circle Battery A for this.
And get rid of that android robot on pulldown bar.

If you want to change bits do what i did, open the file and change the images, im not a dev. I made this how i like it from other peoples work. I uploaded it here just to share it. I'll try and post a how to later

Can someone tell me how to install this or point me to a link that explains how.
Many thanks

Yeah, had to use the blue carbon theme as a base to get the battery to work properly as the original one i wad using only had 8 stages.
Wanna do a "how to" next so people can add their own icons and custom battery images. Think if the masses new how easy it was, we could have alot more themes.
Im no dev nor graphic designer but managed to chop it all together.
Im sure someone out there could build a solid base file ?
Ps. Any chane of getting this on the mini site, as it was designed to work on leedroid ?

Could you please tell me what files i have to change to get a transparent notification bar whit circle mod A?
Or if you could manage to put that together that would be even more awesome

I was looking for this, very cool!

Nice one markhd. Youve inspired me to get theming. I spent a good part of yesterday learning the ins and outs and after many nandroids and boot loops ive figured it out. Im gonna check out themes for other sense phones like incredible and evo and see what i can port over(if i can). Cheers

So your saying I have to flash my ROM to change the theme? Damn I didnt realise it was such a big deal. Think I'll pass.
Thanks

you have an desire rooted James ?

No havent rooted yet because I havent had a good enough reason to do it. I have a card that i bought so that I can create the gold card etc, just not got round to do it as changing the theme isnt enough to make me root it.

Hi james, the benifits for many people make it well worth while, in addition to themes there are many more things to play with. For example custom roms with extra features, the ability to run apps from sd fully, bootscreens, sounds, icons, widgets, even some apps ( do a search on the market). Various fixes for bugs and issues that have been corrected by devs on here are often only availably via a flashable .zip of which useually require root.
There are also risks involved, you could brick your phone / kill your cat / forget to do the washing up. But i have not known anyone on here have an issue that could not be fixed, and now orange uk is sorted i believe all rooting can now be reversed.
Anyony please correct above info above as appropriate as i wouldnt want to miss inform anyone, just tryin to help clear up some points.

very nice,
I did a bit of mixing myself a few weeks ago to rosie that you might like, most of it's from the gorgeous looking Riptide9's Color'N'Clear theme for evo

Looks cool mate, not so keen on the clock personally but thats just me. The icons look freakin awesome. Got some new widgets, facebook / twitter etc might mix these icons in too !q

Great theme, thanks for your work. Am using it on Alex-V 1.7 ROM.
Bit of a battery drainer though!

I like it, but any chances to mod this theme and have green buttons etc (not blue!)

I was about to boot into recovery and flash when I suddenly realized I was on the SuperVillainHD-train. I'm doubting that this will work.
Buuuut I'm gonna have to try, later.

awesome, let me know how it goes. I have just found 1 error so far. Got a FC on the contacts, but when I opened it again it was fine. Let me know if you have any other issues.

so far i am loving it
Great job.
It is just amazing this rom has now survived two devs who bailed on it(for good reasons, not hating).
1.) Again as with the others fast fast fast and with the OC/UV kernel and running everything as ext4 its smoking fast
2.) love the new framework mods, very gingerbready
3.) New market is freaking awesome!
4.) did i say fast!
The only thing i could think of would be the new swipe that is out. But i know some people dont use it so i am not going to harp on a personal preference!
Nice work good sir!
edit: just found that my market is crashing on me. I am running TB right now so i will let that finish and then reload to see if anything helps out! Otherwise good though! Thanks for the work

man, awesome timing....just did a roundabout with the darky's JPU that's based on 2.2.1 and after hours of going through the long install it still paled in comparison to aospMOD
i dont think people realize how amazingly fast this ROM is here.....in fact, there was a version of 1.0 that was linked in the original thread by a guy named tim that incorporated setiron's kernel into it and i'll be damned if i ever find anything as fast as that ROM
i'll give this one a go, though....apparently if you give it the ol' circle-jerk thread title people will actually download it

just a word of polite criticism, btw
the theme on this thing is better suited to black notification bar themes
i never updated to 1.1 on aospMOD for that reason alone (he did a similar theme with the green battery, etc etc).....the plain ol' vanilla theme with black icons is as good as it gets.

Why do I have to be on a 6 hour road trip right now? Argh!

So far I likely...I used this when it was cde......prob gonna struck with it until cm 6.1 fixes battery issues

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the camera today. I was not having any errors, but it should be an easy fix. The bootani, yeah when I loaded it last night it appears that the one I snagged just had the initial boot screen, and nothing else. Will get this fix soon. Thanks!

great rom...just did some gps nav and the tracking was great...it was only about 4 miles and 6 turns but tracked perfectly in first test.
the one thing i am missing is the ability to SPEAKNOW.
Is there a way to enable or reinstall (specifically the speaknow microphone is gone from google search bar and is gone from where i used it even more frequently Google Nav).
nevermind just had to reinstall voice search from market and it restored

Please note that because all apks have been optimized and rebuilt for maximum efficiency, themeing carelessly will break these optimizations

nope. this rom is not deodexed so the mod has to be done differently. right now that is top priority for me as that icon bugs the hell out of me. i also plan on taking out the ADB notification, Alarm, and headphones.

[GUIDE] GingerCream - ICS Visual Experience, Gingerbread Stability!

Alright,
So, like most of you, I am anxiously waiting the day a stable AOSP build of ICS comes out for our phones. I saw the SamMobile leaks come and go, I saw the CM9 alpha being released, and while I have immeasurable respect to the entire dev scene going on with ICS and CM9 none of the ROMs that have come out are stable enough for daily use.
Well, I needed something to scratch my ICS itch. I installed a theme over CM7, no use. I installed a theme of MIUI, no use. Everything came close, but nothing quite fit the bill. So earlier today I set out to make my phone look and feel as ICS as possible - and I believe I managed to do just that... and I now jokingly refer to my phone as running the GingerCream operating system This whole thing is based off of CM7, but there are elements that don't require CM7 if you want to apply them to your current ROM.
Its important for me to note that absolutely none of the things posted here are my work! All I did was experiment with a ton of different resources that each excel in bringing one specific element of the ICS experience to our phones, and combine them. Well, I can say that I finally think I put together something that will hold me over until a stable AOSP-based ICS build comes to our phone, and I'm pretty sure it can hold you over too. Without further ado, the process:
Step 1
Install the latest CM7 build you can get.
I personally downloaded and installed update-cm7-galaxys2-20111227 from here.
Step 2
Download the following zip archive: Link.
This zip file contains a whole bunch of sources (fonts, sounds, animations, wallpapers, etc) that are properly organized. Extract this archive somewhere accessible - I will be referring to it throughout this guide.
Step 3
Install Sonny Sekhon's ICS Theme: Link.
This theme is fantastic, and built specifically for the T-Mobile Theme Engine present in CM7. When you apply it, ignore the missing assets alert, and reboot your phone.
Step 4
Install ADW EX: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but it has two major things going for it:
1. It supports folders that look almost exactly like the ones in ICS.
2. Its smooth as all hell. Don't be fooled by thinking it has the same performance as the regular ADW launcher - with a live wallpaper in the background my phone remains buttery smooth.
Overall, I've tried a whole lot of launchers, and this is most definitely my favorite.
Step 5
Install the ADW ICS Theme: Link.
Apply it. Now, for some reason my app launcher icon in the dock did not change - I fixed this by dragging it out to the desktop, editing it, changing its icon and dragging it back to the dock bar.
Step 6
Install the ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper: Link.
Its free, it works, its sexy, 'nuff said.
Step 7
Replace the bootanimation.
Navigate the zip archive you extracted earlier. Look for the "Boot Animation" folder, inside is a bootanimation.zip file. Make a backup of the original bootanimation file, and push our file to "/system/media/". Reboot your phone.
By the way, we're going to reboot the phone a lot. I don't know if its absolutely necessary, but I do just to avoid any weird mishaps along the way. I advise you do the same.
Step 8
Install the Roboto font.
Install and run Font Changer once, then navigate the GingerCream zip archive and look for the "Fonts" folder. Inside are four font files - copy them to the .fontchanger folder on your phone's SD card. Run Font Changer again, choose "Roboto - Reguler", and reboot the device.
Step 9
Install the transition animations.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Transition Animations" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Easy enough.
Step 10
Install ICS sounds.
Navigate the GingerCream zip file and find the "Sounds" folder. Push the zip file inside to your phone, and install it via recovery. Again, easy enough.
Step 11
Install WidgetLocker: Link.
Yes, it costs money - but I think I've tried ALL other lockscreen replacements, and this one actually has smooth animation and the ICS theme built in. It will also use the live wallpaper for its background.
Step 12
Install the ICS Keyboard: Link.
This is the one I use... works well, and it has a bunch of downloadable dictionaries for different languages.
And... that's it! You're done. The GingerCream zip file also includes static wallpaper images and launcher icons in case you don't want to use ADW EX - even though, again, I can't stress how smooth and beautiful this launcher looks.
What will this thread be without screenshots? This is how my phone looks after doing all the steps above (attached). Obviously I can't show you animations or sounds, so take my word for it - they look damn good, and they're damn smooth.
I hope you've enjoyed this guide! If you have any comments/questions/additions, don't hesitate to write 'em. Happy holidays!

I just use Checkrom revo with the ICS theme. GB with TW and ICS theme=perfect.

Haha, I'm digging this thread. And I'm gonna retweet this.

If TW is your thing, good for you I personally can't stand it. Still, you could pick up some parts of the guide - for example, the keyboard / live wallpaper / lockscreen.

Awesome! Glad you liked it

im no dev so just asking
isnt there anyway to use the ICS phone and contacts [including fav. category] in a gingerbread rom ?
cause thts 1 think i find to b really good , and the only visual things missing from the mods posted above
asking cause back when i owned a spica there was a frozen-eclair rom [froyo-eclair mix] , so mayb this can also b done ....

I have similar on my phone, but I used GO Launcher with ICS theme and there you can get GO Locker, which is similar to ICS locker, but is free. Also GO Launcher with ICS theme on CM7.1 with ICS theme looks great, very close to real ICS.

asking cause back when i owned a spica there was a frozen-eclair rom [froyo-eclair mix] , so mayb this can also b done ....

Maybe there's a way, I'm not a dev either. But right now it's not available, and I think we would all rather the devs to work on the ICS port itself rather than porting apks to work in Gingerbread

I have similar on my phone, but I used GO Launcher with ICS theme and there you can get GO Locker, which is similar to ICS locker, but is free. Also GO Launcher with ICS theme on CM7.1 with ICS theme looks great, very close to real ICS.

Yeah, I gave Go Locker a try. I had three problems with it:
1) It requires you to use Go Launcher as your launcher, which doesn't have ICS-style folders
2) The animation on the lockscreen is really choppy, and it really detracts from the overall experience.
3) You can't set the live wallpaper as the wallpaper for the lockscreen if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, if you're using CM7, you can still grab the transition animations / sounds / fonts / wallpapers / keyboard / etc. - I found that when combined it really works together to create a very authentic ICS look and feel.

Thanks for the guide! This is a perfect setup until a stable release of the CM9 is available for the SGSII!
Would like to recommend the exDialer with the ICS theme to get T9 dialing and the ICS look Just makes it perfect!
Thanks again.

You welcome! I really find it makes the phone look and behave as ICS as you can get. I wish I could record a video to show people how everything looks in motion. I feel like I breathed new life into my phone!
I looked and tried exDialer, but ICS dialer doesn't really look like that at all so... but if floats your boat

I'm addicted to t9 dialing, so it's a must for me. On another note, I see the calendar and the messaging app is not themed, any solutions for that? or did I go wrong somewhere?

Nice one
But I am too lazy to do all that and worst of all I ain't rooted yet as find the SGS2 is great as it is for the time being
Having said that the GOOD NEWS is that we will get a stable ICS release in January from the same people who leaked the first two * so fingers crossed*
Once again a good post for those who wanna go for it

^^Who said it's going to be stable??

Nope, the calendar and the messaging app aren't themed. I try to avoid installing too many additional apps to replace stock ones, so I avoided installing things like GO SMS or calendar apps. I also didn't find these apps to detract from the overall feel of the phone, personally.

Brilliant - good work.

Working on it

Not too much of wallpapers huh?
Yesterday I tried LeWa OS RC2 [Port for hero GSM]
performance, dialler, network traffic monitor, user interface is unbelievably comfortable, variety of skins to choose from, at least for me this rom was a pearl, finally dropped the ideas of getting HTC sensation XE. That phone is still breathing fire after 2 years of hard use, hundreds of times flashing it and so fourth
Rom: LeWa OS RC2 [Port for hero GSM]
Launcher: N/A
Widget: ^3 (Cubed) music player, Animated Weather,
I do not really know the launcher name, maybe bharat_goku can tell that and haven't any widgets yet, just a simple weather widget (Animated Weather) which I do not like, because of the adds and stuff and Filippe Abrantes music player called "3", I find it on the market by typing abrantes, but I like that not because of the widget but because it has my beloved jump to and queue functions..

this is mine
HTC Hero (gsm)
ROM: Zero Hero Sense 3.5 (RC1 with some fixes)
the wallpaper
