I am very excited about starting to make themes! But then I thought 'Hmm, do I really know what I'm doing?' And the answer was: No!
So, I used to be very involved with making a new theme every week for my iPod Touch, but now I have my HTC HD2, my iPod is old news to me. So I'm hearing all this stuff about custom ROMs, what are these; and are they required for making a custom theme?
How exactly can I make my own custom themes?
These are a few examples of themes I made for the iPod:

OK, so I'm bumping this thread. Please, does anyone have any ideas for me? ):
The search feature would help you a great deal. Look into modding manilla files. Themes do not need custom ROMs. ROMs are the operating system and would include themes of their own. You can create your own theme on a stock phone with no other modes. Do some searching for Mode9 editor and CFC_GUI. These will help you in making themes.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Got my HTC Touch Diamond recently and wants to change the TouchFLO 3D theme (have different colours for the tabs, clocks and all). I have not upgraded the firmware of my phone. I have read alot of threads available here but I still cant figure out how to install new themes to my Touch Diamond. Confused of all the things about ROMs. I hope someone can guide me on the steps to change the themes on my phone.
So these are my questions:
1) What software do I need to change the themes of my Diamond? Like colours of the tabs clocks and all? (customize my TouchFLO 3D interface) Is it the Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0.6.7 or something?
2) Do I have to change or upgrade the firmware of my phone? I've heard many names of the different ROMs but I don't know what are they.
3) Any avenues or threads already set up to understand all these? If yes, please provide me the link.
I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to anyone who can help me!

First before asking the question of firmware, post your present firmware.
Next if you want to upgrade your rom, Check it in the Diamond rom development section, the latest hit is 2.03 or dutty's which r generally awesome.
To change your TF3D themes visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
and check all the sticky's put up.....most of them will contain all the answers for your question.

Thank you so much for your help! Much appreciated!!!
I recently got my Touch Pro 2, and love the device. However I'm still on T-Mobile 6.1 ROM, and waiting for their 6.5 update.
There are many custom tabs/screens for Manila on this forum. Is it possible to use them on this stock ROM? Or I must switch to a cooked one?
U going to have to swith to a custom rom. its best if you get your roms from thewingster.com
I guess flashing custom roms invalidates my warranty.
Thanks anyways, I might try it when I have a little more courage.
Don't listen to him, you don't need a custom ROM to customize TF3D. I use the stock ROM and I have switched wallpapers, clocks, taskbar icons, slider icons, lock screen and more. Tons of stuff you can do with stock ROM!
Here's an example:

EDIT: Just search a bit here and places like PPCGeeks etc, you can find tons of stuff. Most of the CABs from this forum (Rhodium > Rhodium themes, applications and software) work with the stock ROM. Just be sure to check which Manila / WM version they are made for. There are also many to be found in other categories here at XDA, and also you can google them.

Thanks a lot. That link looks very promising, I'll try it as soon as possible.
Ditto, I was going to say the same thing. It's not like your manila files are locked in stock ROMs. So you can manipulate them as you see fit.
You don't need to resort to flashing your ROM unless you want a complete different version of Manila.
Hello!
Can somebody make a Theme for a Sense-UI Froyo 2.2 AOSP Rom (like LeeDroid, Pays etc. ).

So it dosen't matters. I realy want a Theme for LeeDroid or Pays or another Sense-UI Rom because with slate I love the HTC widgets, Calendar, RSS Feeds and Contact. and I dont need the Launcherpro Anymore.
I dont want a specific Theme, just a Base wich can I use than. The best thing, is when it will include in the Theme Kitchen.
Please help me.. I try to make but I canont. Just a Base flashable Base with framework-res.apk and the stuff wich is important to have the totaly look and feel of Slate. Like the blue radio buttons, indicators, hover effects. and the beautiful semi transprent widgets.
Thanks
Is it possible for anyone to port DarkEdge to CM7. I personally believe it's one of the best looking themes around and although there hasn't been much news on it lately it looks amazing! Also if no one else wants to if it's possible can someone give me instructions to port it over to the milestone myself? Thank You!
Theming for CM7 is very different to other roms, because it uses a new method called the t-mobile theme engine, just like miui which has a thememanager to install themes.
You can learn all about theming for CM7 from here.
Good luck.
did it work with porting the darkedge to cm7 ??
