SMS Skins by me

These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.
If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

You're welcome
Glad, the work is appreciated.
@mirost1: Computer guy? dunno what you mean just kidding.
Yeah they look nicer on the phone than the pics make out huh?
I'm making another original skin like Omnia atm (I like the Omnia skin, looks kinda neon-ish) but my next skin is going to be completely different.

180+ views and only 3 replies?
Interesting!
Heres a new one:
Download Omnia Blue
also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.
I'll post it here when its done.

Thanks you !
I've take OBlue recoloured !
Good job !

Glad you like it dude.
The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.

Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.
Thanks

yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?

Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green
Even the glossy can be removed......
Thanks....

I dont mind doing just plain text boxes if thats what you'd prefer.
I'll get working on it after ive finished my current skin, wont take 10 minutes.

don't know why
Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.

Looks good! Flashable .zip attached if anyone would like to use it.

Oh, that is freakin sweet. Nice job!!!
Question for ya, how do you create something like this in PS. I am also a photographer and have done a lot of photo art in PS but if you could give me some pointers I have tons and tons of different ideas I would love to put on canvas.
If you could PM me I would very much appreciate it, Thanks.

Dankee - You Rock! Thanks!

Hmm. . . I flashed it and it popped up for a sec and then went black until the phone loaded. Any thoughts?

I am also taking ideas for another boot screen.

How about one with the android peeing on and apple, those are usually pretty funny.

I'm going to look through that guide and see if I can make one my self tomorrow.

Dankee - can you re-sign with the new image? I took the gradient out of the background and made it a solid color. Thank you!

You cannot have any transparency in your image. I have compressed all your layers flat and gotten rid of transparency in the .zip below..it should work.
I will fix my first post's link also.
Check out the bootscreen thread here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661219

Link the picture and the download in your main post. So people can see them.
I just did what danknee did.. But he beat me to it.
Also the xml file was loading the boot2.img and then looping it. But there was no boot2 image so it was going to black screen. I think it was working without flattening it. Since he said it popped up and then when black.

bernard_photography said:
UPDATE
This is the new boot screen image. I took out the grey to black gradient background as it was posterized on the phone. Enjoy!

This gif image above will only load to black, it has tons of transparency. The gif is only rewriting the new parts of the image and the rest is transparent. You need to flatten each layer of the .gif and have zero transparency.
I fixed your new image and made it flashable in the zip below.

If you have any transparency in the image it will show static or black screen only.

Thanks again, I will remove the transparency in the next one I make. You are awesome.

[Boot Animation] Android Scribble (optimized for incredible)

Original creation by Gla'DOS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
Please use one of many instructions to push this boot animation to your phone.
Unzip the android_audio.zip and push the mp3 file.
Leave bootanimation.zip alone and push that file.
All credit goes to Gla'DOS, I only resized the images and added the audio. This runs smooth on my incredible, stock speeds UV.

Wanna post a download link?

Sorry guys, attachments didn't work. OP updated with links.

Thanks! This looks pretty good. I think all the Droid "eye" animations are pretty annoying.
I installed without the sound, because I like my boot animations silent as well.

sicky gnar gnar boot animation. i''m assuming you have to root your phone for this to work right?

Nope, all you need is a working SDK install, no root needed (you are pushing files onto non-protected parts of the file system). You can still foul up your phone, but would highly rare if you follow one of the many guides recommended by the OP.

cool beans. thanks for the help!

I downloaded SDK at the developers site. In the packages section it includes a bunch of stuff pertaining to 2.2. I don't want to download those correct?

It wouldn't harm/cause problems as far as using ADB, but you don't need them, so save that room for pr0n... because as everyone knows, Android is for porn!
Call me immature, but this video always makes me laugh =).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IraQfhlMwi4

What does it mean by PUSH item in SDK?

Works great, thanks a lot!

Flashable version
I could not get the animations to stick using adb, so I found a flashable boot animation and replaced the ani with the scribble ani.
Just flash in recovery. Works great!
Flare version here.
No audio on either. You can get that from first post.
(I take no credit for the animation or flashable files. I just put them together)

Maybe a red scribble instead of the green? Possible? Appreciate it if so.

Yeah should be easy pickings (what the hell, why did I type that?!). I need to wake up and drive to PA in a couple hours anyway, so this will give me something to do, thx!
Edit: Here you go, I hope this is what you were looking for. Even though I picked a colour I thought was red (I extracted a colour out of jonnybueno's Red Sense Theme), it turned out looking a bit orange on my screen. I am editing this on my personal laptop (which is not colour optimized, the hardware to do so is currently in storage as I make the move back to college), so if you'd like a different colour, just give me HEX code or provide an image you would like the colour of red to be extracted from. Take a look at the animation first though, maybe it's only orange-y on my screen.

Well...
I had nothing to do (besides watch Adult Swim) until daylight broke and I hit the road so I made a second attempt. It's better but it's still not where I would like it to be. Also I am noticing that the 2nd batch of images (the one that repeats) seems to be a shade darker than the intro images. Here is a comparison of the first "orange-y" images and the second, slightly less "orange-y" images. I'm going to leave it as-is for now. When I return tonight, if anyone has requested the exact colour of red they would like (like said before, in hex format or an image I can lift the colour from).
First Attempt:
Second Attempt:
Off I go! bb tonight, have a good week all! - DBG

I've made a red version of this but it has a spinning circle indicator!
I take no credit for it, I modifed it from the post here
Flash it with a recovery manager. Enjoy!

[REQUEST] Black wallpaper with green android alien

Hey everyone, after literally a couple hours of searching i've been unable to find what im looking for. A pure black wallpaper with the little green android alien in the middle. A small one not a big one that shows up on all screens of my phone. I've found plenty CLOSE to what I want but they always have some grey/white in them. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

If you link me the ones you want, I can tweak them and/or remove those lines.
cheers

This one is probably the most ideal I could find right now. I was unable to locate all the ones I had come across because a) it was done over the past few days on my phone and computer, and b) because some of them were located inside of apps from the market.
And thanks for your help, I really do appreciate it. I'm sure I could figure it out myself, but I have only ms paint, and I'm sure someone with some basic skills could do this in about 10 minutes.
Thanks again!
Edit- I can't post links as i'm too new to this forum! I Will try to pm you!

ok, so with this:

what is the problem? what should I do in it?
BTW, a good looking image takes more or about half hour. Or if one is a talent(like my bro), it could take less than 10 mins. muhaha
okay, got it. I'm on it now, just wait a little

Hey sorry for the delay, unfortunately it seems this was a poor wallpaper to provide as the resolution is terrible. Had the resolution not been terrible i would have just wanted the green alien without white fade behind it, instead just solid black. I'll look for another example.

Here's a tweak I did to a 3d Andy original background was brushed metal tweaked it to black and shrinked the android a bit. Another but quick paste job to black background with standard Andy logo.

Wow perfect, the one on the right seems to be what i was looking for. One issue though, I opened the link on my phone, long pressed and set as wallpaper, went to my home screen and I see Z's trollface android homescreen from his freex10 rom looking at me, was kind of funny actually but im not sure how to fix it.
Obviously I should have tried saving it then setting as wallpaper before I posted, as it ended up working. Thanks!

New Simple Flat Style Theme [Root to get rid of trial]

Hi everyone! This is my very first attempt at a theme and personally I found a lack of super simple themes so I decided to create a flat style theme for my device and just wanted to share it.
Along with the theme I have added a wallpaper and it was a picture that I took with the S7 itself a just last night in Downtown Toronto. Hope you guys like it! If I get good input I might try to make more and create advanced themes. The lock screen also has a snow effect kind of to represent the fall time is passing and winter is coming
Thanks goes to:

Please leave a thanks if you liked it, and if you hated it, tell me why so I can improve it
P.S. I didn't change any of the icons, I am looking towards doing that for the next release, IF this gets good feed back

You're right, there aren't many simple themes. Theme store sucks a bit. When it comes to suggestions maybe you can change the tone of blue, make it a bit darker; and background grey a bit lighter. I like how you made the lines in phone app invisible, I hate them. I love the icons the way they are. Also, maybe you can change the yellow message buble.
And I was wondering if you encountered any problems with theme editor because when I render preview pictures some are glitchy.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be working on those changes then in the morning but I understand why you'd want the blue darker. The background I did kick it down a notch and made it a little off white but I can adjust that too. The yellow message bubble! Shoot forgot about the messaging app, personally I use Textra so I don't normally use the stock app.
As for the theme editor, I have had no problems running it at all actually, I just downloaded it today and it worked right after install. Are you sure your computer is up to date? Or maybe the theme editor needs a dependency like Java? Although it would normally point that out of that was the case. Are you using the one I linked above? It worked fine for me
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

I don't think themes are rom dependant. Actually I'm not sure if Samsung has support for Android N themes and such but it your device is a Samsung then go ahead and try it, it doesn't hurt to try
