let me start of by saying I TAKE NO CREDIT for any of this... only think i did was discover this amazing thread.. (i've know about it for a quite a while now, but don't know why i hadn't decided on posting this here)
im only posting this thread here because not a lot of people in the cdma hero community know about this... and yes this should work with YOUR ROM, whatever that is you have.. seems to be pretty universal now...
here is the link to the main thread, with all credits going to the guys in the desire forum:

I tried it, but all my gapps were continuously FCing so I had to nandroid back. I might try it again without notification settings (I only did part of those, so maybe that screwed it up).

are u installing this over a current theme?? are u adding any transparencies in the notification bar? what rom are u using? i've had the gapps FC before with this, but got everything worked out to where everything works perfect now..
I'm guessing CM 6 comes with a theme.. so I'm gonna say yes. I didn't make anything transparent, but I only did settings for part of the notification window.
What sucks now is that I nandroided back to a backup I made earlier today and it made everything like I just flashed CM 6 but LauncherPro kept FCing.. trying to nandroid again. :\
Edit: Can I choose sense icons without having a sense rom? If not, that's probably my problem.

sense icons are fine... i've used them before..
try this, flash cm6 again (do not wipe) just flash the same one ur using again.. then flash ur theme u made.. (do not flash gapps again).. then reboot
If I remember that kitchen gave me issues a whole back with the rs folders... open your apk and look in the res folder check to see if v4 was appended to any of the drawable folders, if so delete the v4 part in the name and resign it.

Confirmed working on CM6RC1... Although not much in the way of theaming very limited but cool non the same. Very easy to use even for the beginner. What it changes should be pretty universal as long as you pay attention and choose the correct android version.

I'll try this when I get my new sdcard in the mail. Not much room to work with right now and I don't need my apps all messed up again if it doesn't work. Just gotta remember to take my WoW Authenticator off my account before messing with it, two hours on hold was not fun this morning!

I don't even know how to open an apk..
Used this to get the circle battery with CM 6.1 RC1, my only issue is that now it displays a big "Roaming Indicator On" on my lockscreen (where the "Sprint" would usually be), and the roaming triangle is showing up in the taskbar (even though I'm like 98% sure I'm NOT roaming). Anyone have a suggestion of how to get rid of this? Maybe something I did in the process of cooking up the zip? All I want is the stock CM6 pulldown/notification bar with the circle battery, and also have the option to turn off the power control widget in the pulldown.

It worked. If anyone has the same issue, make sure you pull the framework-res.apk from your ROM and upload it when it asks you to.
Sprint said no Froyo for Hero, I said eff that.

I've been toying around with it today, trying to do a couple header and footer tweaks the easy way! But everytime I've gotten to the end I choose my file to upload. It just sits there, won't let me hit next, and don't see an actual upload button. Oh well, I'll find another way to tweak up aospMOD.
EDIT: Firefox issues.

The issue comes from, I believe the ROM loaded on the site is actually from a GSM, so yeah, uploading the one right from your ROM works wonders.
So finally after reading page 2 of this I got it to work, lol. I was using the framework from the site, once I uploaded mine it worked! Although I chose to change my icons and that didnt happen, anyone else get this problem? Not to big of deal, the main thing I wanted was circle battery

sometimes its easy to overlook a unticked box... once you've generated the icons you need to make sure that you have checked off that section.. its easy to forget to tick a box that you already generated, i've done it numerous times

I did it again and this time I checked the "include icons" and chose G4 blue sense 3D. Again they didnt show up This time what happened was my icons that were blue tinted (running Extremely Blue) turned white. Same stock icons, just white instead of the blue tinted ones. Can I use the sense icons?
Thanks
If it makes a difference I also selected the white notification bar icons as well, H1 DeFrost.
That was it, only chose the G4 blue sense 3D this time and it worked perfect! Now I need to do it again as there are a few I dont care for and would rather have my blue tinted ones, like signal bars
Now I got it looking BAD-A$$!!
Question,
When attempting to modify the Status bar notification I dont get to see the progress I am making. It looks like the Kitchen is supposed to let me see what each mod will look like as I change things, shouldnt that checkered area to the right of status bar mod settings show a preview of what I a doing, while I do it?
EDIT>>>>> Nevermind, I found to click generate at the bottom of page
Thanks
Alright so I redid my phone last night (starting from scratch when I know a little more about this stuff is good ) and tried this again, got the circle battery mod and the status bar icons and it works great!
If it helps anyone, I uploaded my framework this time instead of choosing from the list.
Both of these come out of the Hero GSM forum, but they are proven to work for us too. These are the same theme, you just have a choice about which way you apply it: MetaMorph or flashable .zip
MetaMorph Method
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864931
Just follow the directions in that thread, and you will be good to go. I have tested those, and they work just fine. The obvious advantage there is that you can choose what features you want. Note, this will not work for people running aospMOD because the theme needs the ability to change the font color. This is allowed in the CM roms and not in aospMOD.
Flashable .zip Method
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864451
After you apply the .zips you like from that, you might want to apply this MetaMorph: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d9j2fiddrg0gq9y/Gingerbread_CM61_Visual_Fix.zip (credit to BlaqkAudio for this). It gives you more accurate signal strength, although it isn't necessary for the theme to work.
Finally, you are going to want to apply the Status Bar tweak. To do that click menu > Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks Extras > Select a theme > gingerbread. Let it apply, reboot, and you are done!
Apparently, there is an issue after installing the .zip version of this theme, the Roaming Indicator On text on the lockscreen and notification pulldown. Try reading this post in the Cyanogen forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2225-roaming-indicator-on-htc-cdma-hero/page__view__findpost__p__23422 It worked well for me when I had that issue.
Have fun!
Yes, this is a double post, but I have a question about metamorphs in general that directly relates to this theme. I applied the animations morph w/o knowing what the animations looked like. Now that I know what they look like, I don't like them. I made a nandroid before morphing, but its giving me a md5 mismatch. How do I revert? Is there a stock morph? Thanks for the help I did ask this in the other thread also, just for the record.
EDIT: nevermind, i just reflash CM6.1, and they are all gone. its good now
Won't work for AOSP because you can't change the font color the same way you can with CM.

Good to know. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the heads up. Only theme I have ever used, looks really good overall.
Dang, would love this on aosp!
theme updated to 1.3.1. individual zips for each part, froyo animation revert packages, fix tab bugs, fix font location.
a question someone might know the answer to: is it possible that we could apply the .zip that is the base of this metamorph theme? id much rather have the full theme, considering its much easier to apply. but i dont know, its in the gsm hero forum, would that mess up stuff for us? i dont wanna try it, if you didnt get the hint. even with a nandroid.
We may need someone to create a signal fix for this, since CDMA signal strength is different from GSM signal strength.
EDIT: Also, does anyone have screenshots to show what notifications look like? For instance, when I applied the CM Black stock theme, the standard signal, battery, etc icons didn't look that great. I was wondering what stock SMS, email, etc notifications would look like.
I flashed the update zip mentioned in the post with no gsm-cdma horror story. I did have to manually change the clock color, and I don't think the zip changes widgets, but I still have the bar, pop ups, and a working phone.
**Edit, got the notification bar text and clock fixed, by selecting the correct xml in ui tweaks
I just applied this and it's super slick. Here's a "signal fix" I quickly whipped up: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d9j2fiddrg0gq9y/Gingerbread_CM61_Visual_Fix.zip

"KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Animation.zip" contains the gingerbread-style animations metamorph and you should put that in the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard as well. This package also contains a metamorph with the original Froyo-style animations in case you want to go back.
Do not like the font that's included, installed this font with Type Fresh and boy is it a huge, huge improvement:

thanks for providing that, it looks AMAZING.
I used to use it the other month, but stopped because it seemed like a update to Titanium broke it a bit (in the program, some letters would appear as boxes), so I changed back to default, and forgot all about it until flashing this theme, and deciding to give it another shot. So far, definitely hasn't broken anything for me. It's almost like the font that comes with this theme, but bolder I suppose? Definitely more spacing in between the letters and isn't as hard to read, that's for sure.

well, it works well. thanks for the resources. i actually once tried that with my old samsung moment, when i actually had ubuntu 10.10 running, but i have since then gotten my hero and switched completely to windows. needless to say, it didnt work, like most other things on the moment haha.
Okay so i did the clockwork mod thing now i wanna change to look like the notifications and stuff .. like i see pictures and stuff people post but i wanna set it on my phone and im completly lost on how to do that ... well can someone give some direction on how to do this .?

I'm assuming you're referring to screenshots posted of homescreens and such. Many of these are the look of the custom ROM's they have installed, others are themes they have flashed or installed.
The look of your phone is totally customizable and individual. If you are running a Custom ROM check in that thread or with others running that ROM for themes that run well with it.
If you only want stock without a custom ROM. You could start simply by long pressing on the homescreen of your phone to change wallpapers and such.
You can also try downloading a launcher from the app store such as go launcher which will give you a ton of themes and customizing options.
For ringtones notifications and such I've heard zedge is great (available in the app store) Although I've only used it for wallpapers.
Good luck.

Hoping there might be one or two of you out there that would be willing to help or teach me how to create themes that can be applied using theme chooser. Also I have a boot animation that I have made from a video clip that needs some tweaking. Currently choppy and sluggish.
If your interested please PM me.
If you check in the main android forum there are several guides on how to make those themes.
I'll keep looking. So far all the ones that I have found require a knowledge of xml which i am still trying to learn.

You can make a theme on the Go Launcher website... It requires you to have ether Google Chrome or Firefox..
the only issues that I have found with this website is that you can't change how the notifcation bar stuff shows up.. like if I wanted to make the battery look different than the stock one... I can't do that on the website.
Go Launcher Theme Factory
http://gotheme.3g.cn/golauncherthemefactory/main/jspController/welcome.html?locale=en_US
I have been using it to kind of organize the images that I want to put in the theme... I will be themeing a Rom when I actually start the process but I have been using it to load in the backgrounds and the icons that I want to use and seeing what looks good. Once I find what I think looks good then I move the files into a folder that I name and I make sure that the name on the theme in theme factory for quick reference so I can see what it looks like.
Theme Factory hint... if You make a theme that is good enough and submit it they will sell it in the Market!..... opps... Play Store.
Uot kitchen is the best I've come across.
Just follow the directions and play with it ,learning as you go is the best way.
Although you can't theme app icons,you can theme everything else including battery to windows and dividers,fonts,animations,status bar,etc.etc.
First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to @supergrobi94 who pretty much did all of the heavy lifting for this project. He designed the apks and flashable zips that we are using and gave us permission to modify them for the Verizon variant. His work can be found here: Thread
I've been working with @kevintm78 to get some modified system apps with custom icons and such. I've spent a lot of time to try and alter the icons and spacing to make sure that it looks the way I want on the note 4.
If we decide to work on other themes we'll be posting them here. I'm hoping to get a dark background version of the settings and some darker notifications, but we'll see how it goes since apparently that's pretty hard.
I've attached a few screenshots below to give a taste of what it looks like and you can download it while we work on other themes. The first two are for this mod.
I've tested it on PaulPizz's CPF3 ROM v3.2 and it works fine, but it is based off of the N910F so there may be some bugs. Make sure to do a backup before flashing and understand that you are flashing this at your own risk. I will try to support it, but honestly I'm a little out of my league here. There is a lot of trial and error with the Samsung apks because they make them proprietary. Anyway, Enjoy!

Themes for ROMs with Theme Store: ThemeStoreThemes
Recently I have been enjoying the FullNote7Build2.1 from @chevyrhoads and have decided to make some themes for it. @Shane_Picardo has uploaded a copy of the ThemeSoftware (it's a version behind, but it works) that I've used to create this theme. I've been looking into changing the status bar icons, but I don't have a lot of hope since the file types for the Note7 port have changed again to some proprietary format that I probably won't be able to decode. I haven't touched the icons since I use Nova Launcher with Icon packs, but I have changed many of the system apps to be a darker theme. I've attached the preview images so you can see if you like it (the ones that start with theme). There is a limit to what the theme editor can do, but if there are requests let me know. I'm more interested in AOSP-like themes, but if another idea interests me I'll look into it.
Theme Store Instructions:
1) Download the appropriate apk (Note 7 ports have a different apk than Note 5 or S6/S7 ports)
2) Install apk, but do not apply
3) Navigate to /data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson and cut the file with the name of the theme you just installed
4) Paste the file in /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson
5) Navigate back to /data/overlays and delete the preferences folder
6) Reboot and apply the theme
7) Enjoy!

I don't currently know of a way to conditionally remove the icon. I'll look into it though. I actually prefer it there so I know what connection I have for mms and the like.

One thing that I could do is have an upside down signal bar that would change based on your signal (1x=1 bar, 2g=2 bars, 3g=3 bars, 4g=4 bars) right above the cell signal bar so it doesn't take any extra space, but I'd have to remove the up/down data arrows for mobile data. Thoughts?
Also, are there other icons that people want up in the status bar? I can change bluetooth, NFC, alarm clock, and other icons if someone has better suggestions.
Thanks!
Hello @shadeau I was wondering if you could make a complete transparent theme with the wallpaper in your screenshots. One that would make the dialer, settings and messages transparent with the homescreen wallpaper as background in everything? That would be awesome. Also with dark blue fonts. If that is asking too much I completely understand, as I really don't know myself how much time and effort has to go into this. I tried installing the Samsung Theme editor myself with my internet turned completely off before opening it but I still couldn't get it to work. Thanks for your time.

Okay, so the theme editor won't actually let me specify a transparent background unless it's an image file. Even if I specify a completely transparent image file as a background it just means that you see through to the very back of the app instead of to the background (so you still see black). In short, this won't work as you intended, but if you have a background that you want for every screen I could put that image as the theme background. It might be easier to try to get the program running on your computer though so you can play around with different styles and see for yourself.
If you want help with installing it I can see what I can do to assist. Reply here or PM me if you're interested.

Well I just installed the Theme editor again and before opening it I went into windows firewall to block it but I don't see it listed anywhere. I looked for Theme Editor and Samsung Theme editor. Is it listed as a different name? Thanks

You need to manually add it. Open windows firewall, select advanced settings, select inbound rules on the left, select new rule on the right, select program and click next, find the program in the program path selection area, select block the connection and click next, select all of the things listed for when it should apply and click next, name it something like Theme inbound and click finish.
Repeat the process for outbound rules. Hope that helps.

I want to thank you again for your help, but I still can't get the Theme Editor to run on my windows 10 pc even after blocking it in Windows firewall. Don't know what else to try.

I've currently got the theme editor running on two windows 10 computers just fine. Could you be more specific on what is failing when you try to run the program? You might want to download it again too.

I would uninstall the program completely, re-download it, and try installing the newly downloaded file. I didn't get that error with either one of my installs. The firewall fix makes sure it doesn't try to get updates. It might help to disconnect from the internet while you're installing it too just to see if it helps.
