I have seen a lot of themes for enom/cm, but not that much for MCR... What are the best themes for MCR?
I think a majority of Formel-LMS's morphs work for MCR ROMs, and my black bars and theme are made for MCR.

Do you have any links? I can't find any. Aren't morphs normally just little bits and pieces, not the whole theme?

For the most part, morphs are more for smaller visual edits, but some people like to make whole themes just using morphs.
There aren't very many comprehensive themes out for the Nexus yet, but over time that will change as more people get the phone.
Those are the mods/themes I saw/knew off the top of my head that were made for MCR. I don't think there are many others.
Thank you for linking my themes! Nice!
Metamorph can change ALL icons, pictures, png from every apk/jar which is not installed by market! You can do many many things with it.
For me it is so, that I wanted to change the look from MY nexus. So I did my themes for me and share them to the community. I like it when others like it.
Metamorph has the biggest advantage, that you can change many things to many different roms.
With normal themes you can't do this.
And: For us themers it is easier to make new things and the patching on your phones is faster than re-installing apps.
Problems with MCR Roms:
I've asked Paul at MoDaCo for a few weeks, why we can't theme his ROM. It wasn't possible to do this, because some files wasn't deodexed.
Now, since the last three updates, the MCR ROMs are themeable. So we can start making themes for MCR ROMs since then.
Cyanogen and enomthers ROM was from start up fully themeable because it is build from AOSP. AND the first rooted nexus rom was the cyanogen ROM, so that the most of the community uses this ROM.
Most of us themers do the work for the ROM what we self used on our phones.
So: Cyanogen ROM has the most themes.
So, hoping I could enlighten it a bit.

Nothing to major and cant really call it a theme, but then i didnt know what to put in the title lol, this is my first mod as i am not a themer lol i just change some icons here and there but thought i might share this one
Well i hate the Sense battery icons and absolutely love the original android battery icons so ll ive done is put the original bacttery icons in an update.zip to flash over the NexDESIRE ROM by Manup.
Worked for me on 1.1, untested on others so always perform a Nandroid
Thanks
good work, i havent tried it but what i wanted to know is if its possible to get the original status bar over a nexus rom?
Yeh should be possible, what rom is it for?
I have released two Metamorph Themes for Statusbar Hero (Desire) to get it over normal Nexus One ROMs.
It's here in this forum, I think second or third page.
I'm rooted and have working MetaMorph. I've been told that due to ODEX files stock ROMs are not skinnable with MM at all. Is this true? I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have

THIS skin (with Desire Battery Icon). If it's possible and someone actually comes through, beer money will be headed your way. Flat black, all Desire Icons, works on stock if at all possible. I'm new to Android so I don't know much about this stuff unfortunately.
You can theme the .apk's but cannot change the color of the text (but you cannot change anything that would reside in a .dex file since that .dex file is now in an .odex file). If you don't have a problem with not being able to see you carrier name, clock, or date, then it is doable.

Drat. I guess I'll have to hit the forums to see if there's any ROMs at all that are minimal in nature but still allow the skinning. I'm not really liking all the extra stuff in CM and MoDaCo's ROMs right now. I love that they're doing the work and forwarding the platform (I used MDC's superboot/root which was fantastically easy) but I'm not into the additions, I want to make those myself. What to do (aside from dealing with the stock bars)...

You should really look at enomther's ROMs then. They are about stock if you don't choose any of the extras that come with them. They are also amazingly stable.
EDIT:Since you do speak of making your own mods, then if you de-odex your build then you could theme it as you choose basically.

That will set you up on de-odex-ing your build.
Hi all. I have found lots of good mods on this site and finally took the time to consolidate the ones I like into a single package. I also went through and colorized a lot of the notification bar icons. The file is too big to uplaod here, so I have provided a Rapidshare link. The following is included in the file:
1. Smooth Sense Icons
2. Additional colorized icons
3. 50% transparent notification panel
Please let me know what you think and/or if you like this. I have attached a couple of screen shots for your viewing pleasure.

I saw these first in the Virtuous thread as I am running 3.1 and was previously running incredible theme with older versions of virtuous and waiting for someone to do some themeing with newer framework. Are you using newer framework? Not that I'm sure it matters as this is not as extensive as the incredible theme in which it replaced lots of recently updated system apps.
But I do have a question for you. Any way to get rid of the location Icon which I have become use to not seeing in my bar? All though it is attractive.
And a couple of the icons like the headphones, headphones w/mic and tty are jumbled up just as they always have been in smooth sense. I had broght this to jeric's attention long before but was not worth correcting I guess.
Great work buddy!

No, it does not use the new framework. As I said, it is a something I put together with mods I use and like that are already out there. I am no expert on mods. I colorized the icons so it would look nicer on the phone. I can look into getting rid of the location icon, but if you want me to do this, please PM me and I will look into it. Thanks for the kind words.
I've finally grown tired of trying to keep up with all of the custom ROMs and always having something that doesn't work on the phone. So I decided to go back to the stock Sprint ROM, but quickly grew tired of the stock theme. I remembered a ROM/theme that was put together by cruchybutternut that was so unlike anything else out there, I wanted that theme for my phone. After a few days digging around I found a ton of dead links and a few abandoned projects. So this is my attempt to compile all of the parts and pieces to make a working theme.
I am using Metamorph to apply the theme to the ROM. This is my first attempt at making a theme and do not know how to sign it or make it flashable, so Metamorph will have to do. One quick note, however, I highly recommend making a nandroid backup before applying this theme. Everything should work fine with this, but there is no easy way to revert back to the standard theme if you decide to later.
As of now it's pretty basic and a lot is missing, but I will be working on making it more complete.

That was always one of my favorite themes! Nice job.
Is this and for the stock rom??
Yes, this is for the stock ROM. I just used MetaMorph (free from the market) to apply the theme.
I wanted to know if anyone out there has got a custom theme installed for stock roms.
I seen some for CM..
I want my menu's to be dark background based but not after have a custom rom to do it.
I looked through this sub forum and seen nothing related..
Thanks if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how i can start patching it myself.
If i knew where the stuff is controlled form that would help.
I have experience doing all kinds of thing such as making a Rockbox Theme.
I don't think anyone has done any yet, I've done AOSP signal cluster and navbar mods but haven't touched the theme yet. If you use xposed "lollipop themer" seems to be popular for theming stock ROMs.
Here's a great guide and its always evolving and improving...

Interesting thanks.. 230 pages on that link wow LOL
Sadly it seems you would have to decompile a lot of apk's.
I wasn't sure if there was just some settings somewhere (in 1 place)
You would think the Android dev's would at least support some basic color theme changes right ?
I am surprised there is no built in support for this idea.
I have no doubt a lot of people out there want dark backgrounds like me.

The majority of the system can be pretty easily themed. Its framework, systemui, settings, dialer and phone. Then there's guys like team black out who do a lot of 3rd party apps and gapps. If there were more interest from the stock ROM users I'd do a dark system theme but I've done a few mods here and people don't seem to interested because of all the custom ROMs we have.
thanks for more info.. never heard of Team Black no idea what that is about but i love it already LOL
i am bonkers for patching everything i can so it's black
i'm an Android noob and getting my crash course done ahha
i had a Samsung Galaxy S3 way back for a while then broke it..
i pulled up and broke the digitizer under the glass and had to sell it for parts on ebay.
listed honestly as broken i still got $60 though
I even threw in the unused glass repair kit i had ready.
So my interests are cracking, modding / patching software usually on windows.
i have experience going back 15 years on linux but i drop it and forget lots by the time i go back to Nix.
i also have a passion for graphics modding.. i am good at editing graphic UI's and pic's etc
I did a popular Rockbox theme for the Fuze+ PMP too called Carbon.
I have the same theme on that as my Windows desktop theme and WMC theme and even on my phone. (on my old 2008 phone and wallpaper on my Moto-E)
A whole suite of digital devices that all have a theme i made
But hey guy of you get motivated and have the time go for it i bet many of us would like some black'ness
Projects can eat up a lot of time.. my Fuze+ Rockbox theme took me months.
I created icon sets and statusbar icons many i made by drawing out 1 pixel at a time with Fireworks.
anyway lol
yeah many of us use the stock rom (often with Squid's custom kernel + TWRP)
I have looked at CM and others and felt it was just too much.
i appreciate their work though even if i choose not to use it.
A lot of people do a lot on the web and share it all for nothing in return.. respect for them !
i found this place hacking an old phone back in 2008 and recently came back for Android..
