Updated 08.19.10 Requires root.
New themes will be added at the bottom of post 2.
I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes. I have been busy for a bit but am back to update this ish.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that contributed in the past, present and future.
If I miss anything or if you would like yours added to the list let me know Im sure its incomplete.

Cool idea. But your last 8 links to the screenshots are not working.
Fixed I think... thanks
Thank you so much for this effort.
@sam enjoy

I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. I think anything that is posted here should be within the copyleft idea. Google it if you're not sure what that is. If you upload something and want to be proprietary about it, make it very clear. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that in the present and in advance.
To anyone uploading themes: Depending on the file size you can upload it as an attachment in your post. Please use this method as places like 4shared and mediafire have limits, etc. Also I figure the easiest standardization of format would be fully rebuilt apks placed in a folder andthe folder zipped. My plan is to make an app that will automate the process of changing themes and I think this way would be the easiest for the end user and the easiest for me to build an app .
BTW if anyone wants to help build the app with me I would really appreciate it as I am still really new to programming.

Thanks gavriel18! I know about zero java - only visual basic at the moment. I could start learning it though...
How do you add these themes to your phone just replace the files or something more in-depth? And I assume backing up what you replace first and also through adb?

Good work, please keep up-to-date as you can
Thanks bcool15 duh I was actually looking at that thread earlier too.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
thx for your repo.... It's a good idea !!!
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone . Please also thank the people making these themes, it's a tedious task... but worth it.
@HunteronX Let's make learning android a group effort. We have some good mentors on this forum and two heads are always better than one
great thread, to keep it's value keep it up to date, and dated
This thread is really nice ... i got one question though ...
Whats with custom themes and updates? especially when i skin something like Timescape/Mediascape ...
if i use one of the themes here (ok i am already using one ), dont i risk that i overwrite an "updated" file with an old one?
especially if i use some very new firmware like R2BA026
thx in advance for your help guys

no i dont believe it effects the application except for the new theme effect, as only the framework folders are being modified not the source code, hope this helps
In no way do I take credit for this, just found this on another section of XDA and thought I'd share. All credit goes to Daneshm90. Start making themes people!!!!!

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run Script
- The new folder is now themed
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.

Unless I am mistake about how this works, this would not work on my theme because of xml files I have edited. I would also advise caution when doing this, as some theme makers may not appreciate their work being modified without their knowledge.
Still a very nice tool to have in the box thank you
NICE!!

Open source. My two cents. Maybe some would get mad, but you cant please everyone. I think the Majority of themers wouldnt mind. The ones here seem to be happy when others take their stuff and add to it. Give props if you can of course. But with this, you cant. Considering what Android and this community is all about, i think its a great little script..Good Job! (if it works )

I don't understand the instructions, could anyone explain them clearly to me what to do? I downloaded the file and I see old and new but I want to make my CM6 Night Build 7/28 with cm6.snapv3 and I wanna put up a theme of my own, how do I do that?
Hey guys does anyone know how to build in ics themes into a rom i have tried about 5 times with no such luck. i was wondering if someone could point me to someone that has done this with ease..
Cheers

For CM roms you can just study how the theme apks work and recompile one with your assets instead. There's an ICS theme by Sonny Sekhon on Google Play.
For non-CM roms, the only way as far as I know is to decompile/open an apk as a zip file, replace the original assets with the themed ones and recompile. This is very time consuming and must be done a certain way (check themes and apps forum, there's an ICS theme done this way).
Hi ,
I'm trying to build a custom rom for the jiayu g4 with as base stock kitkat rom.
Now, I would like to add theme ability to the rom. Not with xposed framework or such, just a theme chooser like in the xperia and cm settings.
Can anyone help me with this? The intension is to have such setting (or app that I can link to settings) to easely change the theme.
If there's an option to do this, but specific for my kind of phone (so no theme's exist yet), I wouldn't mind theming a bit. In that case I could provide the users with 3 or 4 different UI collours and different icons or such to choose from.
Thanks,
Louis

You could try adding the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM and offer some themes for it but that isn't device specific as such. That would most likely be the easy option where something else could take a lot of time though.

How can i add the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM? Isn't the cyanogenmod theme engine built in in the framework and very difficult to add to a ROM?

It is built into the framework and requires an AOSP based rom. Also the version for that OS had a ton of issues that were never fixed as it abandoned for the newer setup

So you're telling me I must not try to add the cyanogenmod theme engine? What would be the easiest way to add some theme's then? It doesn't have to be theming like in cyanogenmod or such. Just changing the theme collour from as example black to blue would be enough for me. Then I can provide them with the themes black, blue, red, green or such.
Thanks for taking the time to answer

To do what you want you would have to rewrite all the base framework files and add everything in by hand. To be honest it will be far more work then it is worth. Your best option would be to make flashable theme zips, where you change all the color options to each and every single apk in the rom.

wouldn't it work to just change the systemui or such so the status bar, volume pannel, settings etc change collour and maybe some icons (like wifi, bt,..)? And then I could search for an app that automaticaly flashes zip's, that way the users just need to choose the theme they want and the phone does the rest himself?
Or is there a way to implend xposed modules into the system so I can use XthemeEngine without having to install xposed module? Or implend xposed framework and XthemeEngine in the ROM so you just flash it with the rest of the ROM? But in that last case, it maybe would be stupid to do the work for it as everyone can easily find out about XthemeEngine if they realy want to apply some themes. Plus xposed and XthemeEngine would be 2 apps taking space in the drawer and memory wasting for the users who don't want to theme..

Well thats the thing. The volume panel color shares its color with the rest of the menus in the rom, The settings is set by the settings apk and the icons are scattered across a ton of different apks. Some in the framework and some in the system ui.
The xposed route is up to you. I find no use for xposed myself.
Ill be honest there is no easy way to do this. What you want to do takes weeks worth of work even for a single color theme. This is due to everything being cross linked to everything else. You change the color for say the clock then the color changes in 50 other places as well.
Hello folks!
This is my first theme for Samsungs "new" theme engine, I hope you will enjoy it
Its a simple theme with "Coffee brown" inspiration!
I take no credits for the original wallpaper, I only edited it to my taste.
Instructions:
This theme requires root and flashing in TWRP to bypass demo mode.
1. Copy over Theme.APK and Fix.ZIP to phone.
2. Install APK. Don't apply theme yet!
3. Reboot to recovery and flash Fix.ZIP. (Fix is specific to this theme, will NOT work on other demo themes.)
4. Apply theme. Theme should work as a normal theme, not demo mode.
Updating to new version:
1. Uninstall theme.
2. Install new APK.
3. Flash the fix in TWRP again.
Enjoy!
Please notice that screenshots may differ from reality depending on which software version you are using. For example, Note 7 software uses a newer theme UI.

See thread attachments!

Btw, some of the screenshots are auto-generated and doen't give the proper IRL look. Some are taken with the actual theme running on my phone though!

Note 7's software UI is somewhat different, with updated theme. Maybie calling it a "new theme engine" is wrong
