What is the best theme maker software for the hd2? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi I have some experience in photoshop and want to create a Star trek based theme and I am just wondering whats the best software to use for making a full theme icons and all that.
Thanks in advance for any advice you all can offer.

There are no all in one Theme Software, sry m8.
Do the same hard work and spend many time how all the other designer also.
MaTT

ok so the idea is to more or less find all the current device theme parts and then use the original sizes and stuff as a guide for making the new parts. Sounds like a slow process but hell I'm keen to try this. Got abit of time on my hands for the next few weeks too and I will post the theme when I have made it or rather if I work it out lol.

Need a custom ROM for a GIRL =) -- Seriously..

Hey guys / gals..
My girlfriend saw what I did to my phone, and fell in love with it.... but she wants it to look more, girly. I know i know...
So, are there any good roms floating around, that have a pink / purple look to them? Just curious....
or could I install the new duttys rom and get it to look more girly using some program?
Any info is helpful, thanks
Try Schaps ROMs. Here is a WM 6.1 one. These ROMS are good...and have lots of Purple in them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364048
Try Schap's. His trademark is the purple theme and skins... =)
Well, the Schaps ROM is as purple as they come!
And it's a very stable, well designed ROM - try 4.40 for WM 6.1
EDIT: These three posts came up at the same instant! That's why they are so repetitive

Yea... it's cool. LoL... that means it's good information!
I've never used any ROM's except for Dutty's so I didn't really know who had something stable and who didn't.
If anyone has any other suggestions keep them coming... i'll keep checking this thread. Thanks again
Dude,
Why dont you download ROM that you are familiar with so that if your girl want you to do some tweaking or ask you help on this and that, at least you know the ROM and save yourself from embarrassing moments not knowing how to answer your girl's question.
Then, look for themes that looks pinkish or have flowers or anything girlish. Rite?

You beat me to that answer. Windows 6.1 roms have some "nice!" home themes too that can be used.
I would also recommend you check out _Alex_ roms. He has done a lot of hard work, research and tends to answer any questions about his roms. He is not out for fame and his feet are firmly on the ground so I would whole heartily recommend trying out perhaps his Multimedia rom or his home rom. Ask your girlfriend to write a list of specs she wants from her htc. Then go shopping for the best rom. Once you have done that then hunt down some home screen cabs with the colours she wants.

Alex roms seem more stable than any others I have tried and I have tried a great deal. Also the above link has a great deal of info and images and a easy to follow wiki specific to his roms etc.
All the best

Good information, thanks I suppose I could just skin the ones she has... but I figured i'd see if there were any out there already done up. Skinning only changes SOME things... wasnt sure if there were any roms out there that would change the calc and dialpads to some "pretty" colors lol.
Anyway, thanks for the help.. think i got my answer(s).
Try to get her to do the flashing/installing. In this way we will atleast have a flashing addict with a girl that likes it too.
I guess there are not many of us around that can say, our girls/wives like flashing
Here's a great site with zillions of themes:
http://www.pocketthemes.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=1
Install SPB Mobile Shell....you can use colors like red, green, pink, etc.....
Along with Schaps Rom as you can see is the #1 suggestion

Let's build a team...The Nexus One Theme Team.

We can design some truly amazing awe-inspiring themes at a much faster rate with much more consistency if we build some sort of Theme Team...
I can imagine how system wide we can go and how professional these themes can look if people truly got together to conceptualize and complete themes...
I dunno, it'd be nice...we should build one.
Good Idea! I'd be of no help, but I'd love to see a lot more variations!
Clean Dirty theme...
Well if this actual takes flight, i would defintely want to be a part. However i dont think it would work as well as our individual themes, the way it is it seems there is a lot of variation. Instead of ONE group possibly sharing immages and only changing colors...
We could always use a sharepoint server!
I have some experience of hacking away at NDS and PSP themes (mostly modifying existing one to fit my own tastes) so I'm definitely up for this.
I was thinking more like we have general mockups or concepts for themes, based off of such and such, etc...then those in the Team vote on said concepts and then we go to work making the best damn themes for any device ever...
Probably a pipe-dream...but still.
I like that idea. We need some way to coordinate though, maybe an IRC channel? Google Wave?
Hey! Who deleted my post? I said "Or NOTT!"
NOTT = Nexus One Theme Team.
Sheesh!
Stupid double post.
Whilst I'm not great with coding, I'd certainly like to help in whatever way I can with graphics.
I'm a freelance graphic designer.
Sounds like a great idea for developers to collaborate, but I think it should also be said that there isn't any problem with the themes that have been comming out. Many of them look very professional already. My worry is that it will limit variety.
A wiki or wave to share the knowledge would help.
i would love to help with this. can we start a wave as a way to communicate or w.e

[REQ] Graphic artist required for nearly finished project

Hi all,
I've nearly finished a project that has been about 4 months in the making. I'm not going to go into detail about what it does or what it's for, but there are 2 applications - 1 on the PC where you make "project" files, and one for your phone where you utilise these project files.
I need some graphics doing for both apps (icons and splash screens).
I'll obviously give anyone that's interested more information about the app, but anyone that's interested let me know and, if possible, link or attach some of your work on here.
I honestly believe that this app will be a BIG hit, as it does a nearly unlimited amount of things. It will also replace the CHTEditor.
Anyone that gets their artwork in it will obviously be mentioned in both the thread and the app, so it will earn us both kudos! Me for my app looking great, and you for showing off your skills.
Thanks all!
I can do the odd graphic thing, Im not particularly good but I would be willing to have a go if no one else wanted to (which is very unlikely)
tbh I just want to know when its being release

Dev Needed. Would be willing to donate.

I donated some money to Konikub to make a theme for my wife (cherub theme). The Theme was great, but she is ready to move on. She used this when she had her G1, and absolutely loved the theme! Is it possible to port it over to Sense? Or would it possible to change the cherub theme to that color pink in Melangette. I would be willing to donate!
Here is the Cherub Theme thread in case you need it. She just wants more of a pink, than the purple in the cherub theme.
BTW, She is running Fresh
Much thanks.

Try http://www.rent-acoder.com/
A few years ago I ran a website and used this service for some tweaks I needed done. The coder I hired charged (if memory serves...) about 50.00, but it depends on how much work is needed. I would advice to become very familiar with how the site works...posting, taking bids, choosing a coder, etc. This was way before Android so I don't know if there are any android devs there or not. This isn't the only "hire-a-coder" site, either. But to my knowledge it's the only one that puts funds in an escrow account for safety. Good luck.

Samsung Theme Development

I'm probably not the only person here who would like a custom made Samsung theme. I really want to make my own and share it with people, themes based around video games. Halo and Undertale, to name a few. But Samsung, as dumb they are, refuses to let you develop themes unless you upload a portfolio of prior theme work. Now, I've never done that, but really now. How come we have to prove we want to make good themes when that's what we are trying to do? Does anyone know if there is a way around this roadblock?

Lets try to gather team of themers and other enthusiasts and try to do something.
I worked on a Sony devices, few years ago and I should check my older themes to remember few things.
If I may suggest or ask - could you, or anyone else, post all infos we have and all problems we should work on and I'll be glad to help on a project.
Don't know what's the problem but I can guess - you, probably, have signing problems, right?
On Sony devices we hade similar problems so we did simplest think we could find - we took official theme from store, decompiled it and do reverse engeniring,
It's easy to add your own assets then and edit few xml files.
As I said, I'm not sure which problems are here on Sammy devices and I really don't have time to Google all that out.
I'll built Java environment today on my main PC, install compilers and notepad++ so I could help if someone wants to try.

I'm a noob.
I'm actually a complete and utter noob at this. I'm a 14 year old who had come up with the idea of making some themes just yesterday. So I don't know the first thing about developing themes for anything. But if you could explain stuff or point me to someone who can teach me about everything, that would be great.
By the way, do you know if there are any other ways to root a Note 5 without using Odin? I've got the international unlocked version (SM-N920C), single SIM, and I don't want to have to flash the stock ROM back on when I need to get it serviced (prove I have warranty).

I'm quite sure you can't root 5+ Android using Kingo Root or similar not-so-friendly app.
The easiest way that I know of is chainsfire way.
One Tar, one Odin flash and that's it.

Hi All.
So here is the long and short side of it.
"SAMSUNG IS DUMB" They have made a theme development service in witch user can go and make their own theme, they then use this as advertisement to the public. Then once users have their devices they want to theme them and what do you know. Samsung then wants you to sign up for development once done they then refuse your application to the theme store for no reason what so ever.
I have seen a few very good themes around here for the note 5, much better then the useless girly/gay themes on the theme store and those users have been denied over and over.
So no, samsung does not give a rats ass if you are a good themer or not this is basically company personnel only that can them.
What we need is a user who by the magic of all things magical have been excepted by samsung to share his user credentials or profile so we can log into the theme service and use it our selves.
How does that sound?
Or someone to crack the software if they can get their hands on it (sadeempc!). There is samsung theme software available but its older versions. Possibly make some on it and use it as past work.

I have that software on my PC, but it's for developing for the possibly discontinued BADA OS. Now, I am not too keen on having someone crack software, bu the idea of a public theme dev account sounds great. Maybe some people should start making accounts and putting them out for us to use.

I am not one thats for cracking others work and time either, but when its impossible to get whether its priced with the same idea gas is priced or literally impossible due to whatever youd call it that samsung is pulling. What really is that, it really just hit me like, why are they being snobby little Bs with this theme software. Does it automatically go straight on the theme store when it is made? Let people make their own themes instead of being limited to the mostly awkward chinese or whatever they are themes. Everything is material or walk on Mars or LIVE with weird sayings and dudes with strange sporatic hair on their legs. We have this software to make themes that can only make us money and you none unless we approve it for store use. But you have to apply to get it, oh and submit some past theme creations (hehe). Just like those one kids everybody knows at sometime that nobody likes. Ud think theyd hand that for free and some wizard of themes would come from the midst and samsung could only bank. But nope. Like paying to feed the animals at the zoo or camels at a pumpkin patch. Dont people normally get paid to feed the animals. All @$$ backwards these days.

After brainstorming for a few minutes I have a solid conclusion. Given samsungs history of effort(lack) in previous apps, programs, etc. (Samsung nation, plus, forget the others*pointmade*, it has GOT to be because they do not have the people, the interest or simply care enough to go through that many theme submissions. Im sure tons would be pestering for a approval replys etc. I think they are already slacking with the 5 theme makers they have now as im pretty sure i seen a weed leaf on a theme the other day, its the swag one plus all of the same repetitive weird ones. Weed aint bad in some states at least (weird) but just sayin, i dont see any bud light ones or nething sweet like that. Its apparent that theme making is not coming from the US. Im almost positive on the application it doesnt even have the US listed on country list for areas of interest to sell or something like that. Which makes sense when u look at the options available
This sums up both what you and I are thinking in one gigantic paragraph. I did not even know Samsung was incompetent.
On a side note (get it?), can themes be shipped with live wallpapers as default, or will users have to install them separately from the Play store?
It would be nice to see some wallpapers coupled with some badass "living" themes.
