Theme idea

Hi,
A new challenge for our developers.
This is a theme taken from one of the pointui forum thread.
It is a really beutiful theme, somebody should make a tob bar like that on the picture. It is masterpeice in itself.
Hope somebody should consider developing it.

dont u all like this theme....

i have something similar on the way... but it will require WAD.

That is a awesome theme. I would like an update on any development. I would like to try it out a.s.a.p.

ok let it come...
But it would be great if someone make a stand alone application.

[Idea/Help Wanted] StatusBar-Framework Theme Manager

StatusBar/Framework Theme Manager
Android/Cyanogen really needs a better way to handle themes, like Desire HD or Z would be ideal. Themes would be in APK form and have a drawable-hdpi & drawable folders with the framework graphics you want to replace. I have really no coding skill, I was looking on Anderwebs Github trying to see how his themes work. How do I change/intercept where the framework looks for drawables? This is way over my head but I'm trying, at least I'll learn a few things. Anyway if someone with more experience would be willing to help that would be awesome!
I know that applying zips or metamorphs is not that hard to do. But this would make so many things better, like having time to add to themes instead of updates. Not having to apply each update or better yet each night if your a nightly guy like myself. Nightly themes are rare, metamorph is really the only way due to things changing constantly. Bottom line, I think this would be a badass addition to any custom ROM!
Let me know what you guys think? Better yet if you can contribute let's get this show on the road 8)
Here is a video of the new Sense Themes in action - http://goo.gl/mJT7

That would be very nice. I wish i could help. I hope that someone can make that soon. Good luck with it.

New theme/UI design

Hi,
for my Major Project I have designed/redesigned the User Interface for Android. It`s not the entire UI just a proposal with common elements.
If anyone is interested in designing a new theme for Android, have a look at the on-line presentation and the entire booklet at
http://softouch.igloo.si

very cool ! i like it
will it be released one day? very interested in

I dont have the programming knowledge to develop it, unfortunately.

cool stuff
Hey congrats! it looks very smart and the idea is very cool

just tested it, works fine http://softouch.igloo.si/

woow!
It looks very nice!

nice idea and looking great

Hey !
It looks great & i want it absolutely !
Do you develop it???

sorry, no. don't have the necessary knowledge. But if somebody is willing to develop, I am happy to contribute additional design elements if needed.

I saw this thread ages ago and after much searching discovered it again. Have you had any more movement toward making it a reality?

Hi, as mentioned I do not do programming so I can`t create a theme. No dev has approached me either. Until then, this remains a concept

Wow.
Looks very nice. Good design job

Great design concept, it looks really nice.. well done!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

i dont have a rooted phone, but that looks like a very cool UI, hope it wrks out for you Bro

gud one..will follow this!! )
Jus give us the updates of ur work, man!!

Thanks, It looks very nice to me.

seriously this should be made into a REAL launcher or something...

thanks to all of you for thumbs up. Again, if anyone is considering making it into a launcher or theme, please contact me.

Hey, why dont you pm 'robocik' or 'coolexe'.. they come up with new roms all the time.. I really want to see this concept become reality..

[Q] ROM Theme, Question.

Good after noon all.
heh, talk about feeling nervous for a first post. well before I contiune, I do want to say thank you to the XDA community, you helped me get both my MyTouch 4G's rooted; Anyway on track with my question.
I am currently running the DemonSpeed Miui, and I have a them I've been working on a theme, I noticed alot of the MIUI themes especially the Lock Theme Thread seems to use other peoples themes/info.
My question is I know i have made/edited a them from ATLEAST 7 different authors, added custom wallpaper, etc the works. and I want to know, should I first contact all 7, or should I just post this.
It should be made further clear, that I am "not" discrediting any owners of the original works and further attempts to contact them will be made. I just want to seem like I am a "thief" saying hey this is mine, yatta yatta yatta.
I should also note this theme is also fairly....huge, coming in at a near 35 MB for a theme does seem a bit excessive but I wanted to create an all in one "Super Theme" and of course credit will be given where it is due.
Any advice would be appreciated, and thank you for your time.

I think you should contact all of them first just in case, and credit them all in your post obviously. For the most part, the devs here on xda don't seem to mind anyone modifying their work as long as their credited, but you should still contact them and let them know. There are some devs who WILL make you take down your work if you don't contact them and get an explicit yes/no response back from them.
So just to be safe, and to not risk a forced removal of your work, contact them all and wait for a response. It'll be worth the wait just to save yourself the potential trouble with mods and angry devs.

so let's talk about roms and theming...

This may sound odd.. but it popped up in my head while driving home.
I have been messing around a lot lately with theming, and also playing with the UOT Kitchen... This got me thinking for us less "able" members here..
Is it ethically okay to use someone elses rom (Ie- CM7) as a baseband... and theme it to your liking? then add in the app's you like and whatever you might like in the package and upload it as a different "rom"?
Thanks, and sorry for the odd question

There's a specific post approaching this issue, see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317929
PS: If you want to theme CM7, the best way to do so is with a theme chooser theme No need to re-release roms or anything, just post your theme apk for people to download.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as long as you quote your sources (let everyone know that you used CM7 as a base, and who created all the apps you put in there, etc. etc.) then it's perfectly fine. just be sure to quote every single source you used.
also, don't make it the habit of just releasing themed versions of CM7 or the dev forum will get full of the same ROM with a different look. i'm pretty sure that's the whole reason CM7 comes with a theme engine that makes theming it super easy.
but on the note of your question, just be sure to give credit where credit is due and no one should have a problem with it.

Wow- That stinks... Wish I would have realized that thread pertained to my question.. Sorry about that.
& regarding my theme- It's such a half assed bork job that I'd be embarrassed to post it... Let me do a couple more run's and I hope to have something nice brewed up for you guys
Thank you, and sorry again.

Also- I wasent really thinking to use CM7 Specifically.. I was just using it as an example.
damn, theming is fun! It's a lot of redundant stuff... but fun!
