I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

Edit: I can change the background color if someone wants.

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

Hey guys,
I'd like to ask a favor of anyone who is up for it... Below is a pretty sweet black and white theme that I found online for CM 5.0.5.3-N1 on the nexus... I would like to create a zip from it that I can flash on my phone that will ONLY change the app icons (in the main menu and/or on the home screens) not anything else in the system (i.e. title bar colors, text colors, etc...). I took a look at the contents of the archives and it looks like I may be able to do it myself but if any of you know how to do it already or wouldn't mind giving it a shot - I'd appreciate it!
Thanks for any help!

If you want only the icons, flashing an update.zip probably isn't the way to go. Look into how to create a metamorph (it's incredibly easy) and/or download a few metamorphs people have created (easiest way to learn) and open them up and take a look at how they are made. Then all you would have to do is extract the icons you want from the theme, make the morph and voila.
the evo didn't really have any special screen transitions when i was using fresh .3, and compared to what i had when i was using the hero, it was a little bland. i had a few spare minutes today so i downloaded the darkstar theme at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589409 (which is, by the way, a really cool theme) and just ported over the transitions. there was a darkstar theme that was ported to the hero but i don't have the time to port the entire theme. i just thought that the next best thing was to do the transitions
so here it is. it's all just eye candy. changes to what you get on the evo right now?
- clicking menu has the menu screen fade in
- transitions in apps like facebook, twitter, settings, etc. has your windows fly up and the new window fly down
- other things that are really cool
give it a try. make sure you back up your framework-res.apk though, or just take it from a rom.
just push the framework-res.apk to /system/framework. code for this:
Code:
adb remount
adb push <directory where you downloaded the apk to> /system/framework
credits are, of course, the people who made the darkstar theme. i just transferred files to an apk.
hope you like it!
edit: i just realized i posted this in the wrong section. if a mod could please move this to the themes/apps section please?
it worked but something strange happened i had to reenter my account gmail facebook twitter ... and it kinda messed my lock screen a tad
Hmm... I didn't have any problems with entering my account info, but I just noticed the locksceen thing. The partially transparent rectangle right? Weird... I honestly don't know what would cause that. I didn't even see it though.
So i have Aloysiu's rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702361) which is based off of fresh .03 you think there might be any problems if i flash this?
Any way to do this via terminal?
This is my first release of a theme or anything so i hope you like it screenshots are included
What it Does
Themes the following
check boxes (some of the HTC ones remain un-themed)
volume indicator (yellow)
taskbar (white)
all taskbar icons -BT, wifi, 3g, battery, 4g
menu selections (yellow AOSP selection)
power menu icons
what it doesn't do
it does not change the application icons except for settings
if you want aosp themed app icons i would suggest NonSence or bugless
Things to work out
the location service icon has been removed but still takes up a space in the taskbar (i do not know how to remove that so any help would be nice)

it should work with sence and it should also have the espresso dock on the bottom
there should be no reason as to why not although i have not tested it
Confirmed working with damagecontrol 3.2, only gripes with it are the 3g and reception icons in the taskbar are considerably lower res than the other icons, and the charging icon looks a little big and out of place.

i'm surprised about the lower resolution gripe cause i used higher resolution ones then the stock aosp
but thanks for the feedback
and as for the charging icon i assume you mean the one on the left (for switching between disc/charging) yeah i need to fix that
off topic note the search buttons look out of place when hitting the search button
Perhaps they got screwed over when the os tried down-sampling them itself?
Fadakar: I'm not seeing any difference whatsoever. Can you ss it?
good job. this looks awesome. glad you threw this together. I personally am allergic to anything resembling stock and i also had darchs aosp setups on hero, so its nothing new to me. i like a completely new experience. However i know theres a **** ton of aosp junkies that will love this. thanks​

You paste the same crap in EVERY thread. XDA should add the mod to allow users to ban other users by paying. Make money and clean out the crap threads.
I'd pay for a 2 year ban on that magnus dude just for making ugly themes.
Kinda harsh guys. But he should stay on topic.
Love the AOSP look. Just enough to hold me over until someone can make a full rom of it. Thanks!
Thanks
Added to themes in sticky thread.. Well done, thanks for sharing
failed to install via Amon_RA recovery. switching to clockwork to see how that fairs
edit: installed with clockwork i didn't wip anything maybe i should've wiped cache had a weird boot loop going would make it to lock screen and then restart
edit2: my sdcard was bad which impacted the system after fastbooting back to amons recovery and the nand backup i had there verified through my disk utility that the card was bad >_<
Good job...This is really cool!
a picture with htc sense and this theme would be nice i wanna c the taskbar with sense thanks

I also noticed that the 3g and bars were a little blurry. Not a big deal, but just for the record.
Anyone using this with DamageControl? Which version did you flash?
okay so an update to everyone who said that the icons were low res the system was using the wrong set of icons the 25x25 so i updated the package with flipz lock to contain the 38x38 icons
and later tonight i will upload the other one along with one with a clear lockscreen
still in the search bar the icons are dark when i switched them for the lighter ones every time i would hit search it would restart my phone so i gotta look into that some more
that should be about it
oh and sence still has the scroll page indicator but the espresso dock so it doesn't look great might revert back to stock sence if i have the time sorry
recommended with other launchers
i love this theme but for some reason when i get an email or message the icons on the taskbar have a black square around them instead of just being the message icon or the gmail icon
Update:
This theme isn't to popular but I promised some people a cm6 final version, so here it is.
Ok so this theme is an old theme I ported over from 1.6, I had noticed a lack of lighter themes around here and I know everyones a fan of Tux. I themed most of the icons that had the Droid in them and replaced them with some Tux icons. If there are some others icons with the droid face that I missed and you want them changed I'll try and hook that up.
Special thanks to (updated):
Nebrada for the great plastic theme(http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=562283)
Iktose for the Aeon Blue stat icons.
damiandarkwater for the great input.

I would most certainly love to make a splash screen. I thought about changing the start splash but Cyanogen and the teamwork so hard I didn't want to take anything away from them.
I work on the splash screen.
I to love any thing tux related.

Thank you for the info the 4share account is nice!
I was being lazy and trying to take the easy way out. I hate when you goto those download pages and the intentionally make it hard to figure out where the real freaking d/l link is.
GJ on the theme man .... its good to see alot of new themes popping up lately.
Same tux being the Linux mascot was just another reason for me to love Linux. I flashed this on top of Steel my Elegance and all is well I dig this.

Thank you guys, means alot to here that from XDA members. If you guys see anything or have icons suggestions I'll work on that.
I'm going to make a splash screen for this now.

so I made a .rar and changed the ext to .zip but did it manually try it now, or use win rar on the original.
Nice work, those icons are great! love the splash screen!
The android is still on the market app. If you could put Tux on the planet for the browser or something and have him popping out of the envelope for the gmail icon that would be mucho cool
just an idea though.
Do I just flash the splash?

The splash needs to be booted through fastboot and you'll need a eng spl. There's a good post just above mine on how to do it.
I didn't do the market cause of it being part of the google apps but I'll work on that one (the icon style makes in hard to alter since I don't have the layers). Consider the others done I'll post them tomorrow.
Sweet beans
And makes sense.
Very cool working with feed back and all.
Bump Update v0.2
This is the update thanks Damian for the input. Maybe I'll make a cool animated load screen.
