Ok so before I start to tackle this 100%,I want some thoughts on what I have planned. Ive already made a Frankenstein android bot for the notification backdrop 75% transparincy,on black 50% trans.Ive made several launcherPro icons for the dock.I am also going through each ringtone,notification and alarm and amping them up sound wise and putting an N behind each title indicating it should be used as a notification to increase the sound level just like it was an actual ringtone sound level. Im going to try and keep the theme mostly black,but Ive never been a fan of all one shade of color for all the notification icons,so they will be diffrent,and as the name says,I will pull icons from many ROMs to make this one.I was using Super heroes 2.2.4 as a base,but he has started using Mammons Bonzai4all,so I might switch.But I will tweak it the way I want before I post it up...Any more suggestions or if someone wants to help let me know what you can do,this will not go prime time for atleast 2 weeks,I need to make a boot ani,and shutdown ani,I have the sound bite from Young Frankenstein,Gene Wilder," alive,Its alive,ITS ALIVE" ,look it up,sounds awesome for a startup.And Ive included it as a ringtone,alarm,notification,2 versions for each,one normal,one amped up.
I really want to see how big the interest is for something like this.
I know how fast things get burried arond here,so Ill bump this,wont do that often.But really want to se if there is an interest before I put the real work in...

Ill put some up soon,just got home.Not much to look at yet,no dialer yet.Ill thow some up.
Ok,I was gonna rush some things just to put up an image or 2,but I ran into a snag,and I dont have enough icons made yet to call it my own,,,so Ill keep working on it,I really wanted to see more than 1 person respond,and maybe offer up some icon help,but Ill do it solo,just gonna take more time,so for now Ill keep it under wraps and wait till FROYO drops to see what changes,then add what I have finished.

Just like when someone wants to create a movie, an art director will throw together a few mockups to peak studio executives interest. To get feedback from this forum it might be easier to paint a picture than to tell a story!

If its frankenstein centric, why not use gingerbread theming as a base since its already green

I was also thinking about this aswell,but I really dont want it to be a shading theme,I still want it mostly black with some killer icons,but I like some icons from some ROMs.The main reason behind the name is because I planned on pulling things from several ROMs and have slight hints of Frankenstein.I will have alot of Launcher pro Frankenstein icons,but I want the notification icons to be classy I guess,nothing like a Frankenstein head that lights up 4 diffrent colors and the eyes to be red when its at full strength (I thought about that for like a minute). But all in all I want to provide somethings that no one else does,like amping up notification,alarm, ringtones.I know this can be fixed in a system tweak or kernel hack (not yet),but I figured this would be somthing I could do easily. I will continue to tweak my ideas and make sure I put somthing out that shines.If you want your name associated with this just let me know what you can do,main things I need now are a boot ani,and shutdown ani. Everything else I can do. I could use a high res Frankenstein android bot made up as a watermark for the notification backdrop image,the one Ive made is weak,really weak,but I planned on redoing it over the holidays when I can get some free time. I dont want major fame,just want to put somthing out there. I really want this to be a community ROM with ideas from other people,I dont just want to add what everyone else is adding,but ofcourse some things will be a must have feature,but I got used to the new lock screen now after playing with AOSP lock screen again for awhile.So Ill keep the new Sammy version.I find swiping up is easier.

Ill be releasing my first ROM today,not 100% in regard to all the icons I dreamed up just yet,still getting used to gimp compared to photoshop...What is the best place to host the file for free? Testers wanted...

Multiupload.com works great

thanks,,,it will have a black themed market,and black themed miui player,plus some other goodies,but it has been stripped down,and it fast and clean,no FC's at all...I know its late in the game for a DK28 rom,but I would love a tester or 2 before I work on the official update.

The title pretty much sums it up.
I love the dark gapps on my S2 and would like to see the same on the nexus 7.
Anyone know what goes into redesigning the gapps? I know the devs already got their work cut out for themselves, so I'm more curious than demanding... I just want me a black keyboard, gtalk and gmail!!!

Just trying to see what people are using for their themes, seems I can't find one without annoying problems so I might make one but I'm curious what you guys use.
I switch between crystal 2, torrid teal and whatever else I find interesting at the time. The first two are definitely my favorites though.

Popstyle B by joshuas_79 looks great.

Stock theme with some assets fixed.
Well I have been learning to build from source for the past couple of weeks and have several new project I have been playing with. I figured I would test the waters here at xda and see if anyone is interested in them.
1. Team Baked's newest black bean - 4.2.2 - along with the blackdome kernel
2. RootBox - Also 4.2.2 - again with blackdome kernel
3. CM 7.2 Supersonic - Tablet edition -- This is being built for a xda member who has helped me out. His Og is not in service as a phone. None of the telephone/radio is included. Everything else is (gps, wifi, HDMI out, camera).
4. CyanMobile - gingerbread 2.3.8 - This one has given me nothing but issues but I want it up and running badly. Everyone wants Jellybean on their phone and this will be the next best thing for those. Being gingerbread everything should work (ffc, 4g, netflix, etc..) and with this they have taken most of the cool features and back ported them to gb.
5. BeerGang's Jelly Beer - Cm 10.1 based - will also have the blackdome kernel
Umm.. anyone notice a pattern? Darn you TronIt!!! Why must you make such a killer kernel? Lol!
Oh since this is done from source I am also doing these same roms for the 3vo.... not much more work and twice as many roms!! Maybe time for more devices.
Nice work,JL,im up for giving all of them a try when you finish.

Okay a peek at cyanmobile.

That's pretty nice, looks a lot like 4.2.2 yet GB based
Yes it has elements ranging from 2.3 to 4.2.2. Since it is gb based ffc and hdmi out also eork. I am going to play with it tonight and get everything setup then post some more screen shots. So far looks like the most things are working. I have rootbox compiling now and will have shots of it shortly also.

Well almost everything works. Playstore is fcing and a few of the settings options fc. Who wants to test 4g for me.

my friend water tested an evo 4g before. he was pushed into the pool. I have this phone today, using it as a substitute for a ipod touch for now, my carrier is verizon. it isnt free of glitches, but works well... wait what kind of water testing are you fools doing?
I want I want I want....

I had two evo 4g's but I set one up with miui and gave it to my daughter to replace her ipod touch. Her screen was shattered and it only sort of worked.
She really likes the ios style and once i showed her miui she never looked back. She now has better games and more features plus she can hook it to her flat screen and stream movies in hd.

SwiftKey released an new beta on their website today. Also I'm no fan of non aosp keyboards, I'm really amazed by this app!!

Thanks for the notice, going to give it a try since it adds the extra number row. My wife just got an S4 and the stock keyboard on there has the extra number row and it is pretty nice.
speaking as a lazy and sloppy typer on a phone, i love SwiftKey. it's predictions and auto correct is amazing
Love the beta since it has built in emoji and number row.

Wow this is awesome. I don't think I'll ever be able to use another keyboard again. The emotional layout is nicer too than the one from stock where you have to move left and right

Just wish they would add a kitkat based theme.

+1 to that. The holo blue feels out of place and the rainbow slider isn't very professional looking. But other than these shall aesthetics it works amazing. The keys feel bigger too.

Nice Job Man, thx.
Tried it & it's definitely an improvement on something that was already great..
but uninstalled it as all the older saved words wouldn't pull up.. maybe cos it's a separate installation
will wait for the official release
