so i was checking out the forums.... did some searching and kinda got lost... so i decided it was time to join and see what i can find out..... got my evo a couple days ago... first thing i thought when checking out my phone is how i can change the theme...
i figured that such a powerful phone it should be possible to do it.... well i found themes and other info... but it all seems contradictory.... some sites and info it seems i need to "root" my phone (which i'm not sure what that is still).... others say i need to "rom" my phone (again still not sure what that is either)...
so what do i need to know to change the theme of my phone? what other things should i know about my phone (besides the basics i read in the guide)?
is it possible to create my own theme for the phone? or is it very complicated?
sorry if this is a repost i did search and as i said i kinda got lost and confused.. it's obviious you all are smart and some of the terms and info you put out kinda has me scratching my head.... it there's a way to explain it simply i can probably understand...
i feel the same way
Well it took em a few days to figure out everything.. I am too a new evo user..i managed to root my evo, add a custom theme and kernel and change my banner..i had figured it out all on my own..theres a evo wiki that might help you...
thanks banks.... i'll look into it...... but thanks to fachadick i learned a little what i needed to know.... my next step was to learn how to root and add roms and the like.... i'll look into that wiki....
the reason you get a lot of different information depending on where you look is because there are multiple options for themes depending on what exactly you are looking for. there are some things that can be done without root. for example many launchers (OpenHome ADW etc) will let you download themes made for it which give you different icons and backgrounds. Other options are to go with a launcher liek Launcher Pro and youcan change your dock around a lot, you can download folder organizer or application organizer and make folders with custom icons, you can use better cut to change icons on single applications. All these you can do with out needing root.
what you will need root for is if you want a theme that changes the rosie UI, changes the menus(ie adds color) or changes the notification icons\color of the top bar, and even changing fonts used by the rosie ui itself
if you dont care about that stuff then you dont actually have to root, though i suggest it anyway, to change your theme.
Hi master themers
I have been trying to theme the phandroid app to no avail. I wanted it basically to be the same as the xda app.
I managed to swap out all the .pngs needed and even edit the xml files to give a black backgroud and white (and gray) text, signed etc... Installs fine too, but then just force closes after a little while, without being able to do anything.
Just the png's works fine, but the text doesn't work and still leaves BG's white
Unfortunately there are so many references to bg and text colour within the xml's, theres no way around editing them. Once I got past all the errors recompiling I managed to sign etc, Still no Joy
Its unbelievable just how desperate I am to get this black themed for better battery life (AMOLED screen). But after 3 hours of messing around, I have to stop - defeated.
As I am a complete amateur, I was hoping one of you kind souls would possibly help me out please? I have been using apk manager myself. If anyone is really experienced with theming existing apks, including at an xml level, I would certainly love to hear from you...
Thanks in advance
EDIT> forgot to mention, the version in particular I am trying to theme is this one:
http://phandroid.com/dump/android-market-publish-fail-lol.apk
Or if anyone in the know could suggest a better method, or where I could be going wrong please?
Sorry Dan, I doubt I can help with your theme but did notice that the link doesnt take me to the .apk
Perhaps somebody on this thread can help Where to find the colors for making a theme
KBanause seems every clued up

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Looks like they took.it down. I've got the .apk anyway. Latest version is a bit dodgy
Thanks for the link

I had a thought while describing to a user how to use my wallpaper template.
Would anyone be willing to help edit the box that shows for cropping when setting a wallpaper? All that would really be needed to make it useful is to add in 4 additional lines inside of the cop box itself. Two horizontal and two vertical lines to serve as a guide for what is actually visible on the desktop.
If someone can point me in the right direction of what file to edit, Ill start working on it myself.
That is a wonderful idea. Would love for someone to actually fix the crop tool. Wish I could help but I would love to help test if you need it.
150 some odd view and no one knows where what files need to be edited to modify the crop tool?
Some one just point me in the right direction and Ill work towards getting this done.
that is a great idea! Maybe posting this in the android development section will get some feedback.
Hi all. Guys please help me. Already three months im trying to create a theme for golocker ive successfully understood basics. A basic go locker theme uses lockscreen.xml as main marque source and series of png images.There is nothing difficult. But some advanced themes as Transformer theme or Bug theme uses 3d graphics. I've spent already two month trying to find out how to do something like that. Mean use my own activity as a golocker screen instead of just editing lockscreen.xml. I've tried to decompile a number of themes trying to understand its implementations but it not enough. Please can somebody help me? I know it is possible to use your own activity as a golocker screem but how?
Use the Theme Factory on the Go website.
Can someone that's rooted please upload the material dark theme by cameron bunch. I would like to edit it to be able to use it without the change in icons. Thanks in advance.
U can choose theme and icons separate in themestore.
I guess you've seen the same youtube video as I just have! I'm looking for it too, and it's not on the samsung theme store in my country.
