hey peeps
I've my.HD2for a few weeks now and there's a few things id like to change but I lack the knowledge of how.
1)id like to move the slide to unlock to the bottom of the screen, and make it semi see through.
2)it would be nice to have the today screen a lot clearer is there a file I can adjust? to do so
im pretty good with PhotoShop would love to put my bit into the community
I've got some theme ideas id like to share
I've noticed a lot of mods are in cab format how do I turn a theme or a taskbar icon pack into one?
I appreciate any help and ifsomeone can forward links that would really get me started
thanks Luke
Right i've found the images for the Opera Startup screen, and the lock slider. But i can't find the graphics for the sense clock? where are they?
hello people
I have tried using driks rezo icons in hdwalls to create a new slider but to no avail and wondered if anyone could give some guidance. I would like to either use those or Matt Jacksons devotion slider but I am not sure how.
using cookies home tabs 1.70
manila version 2.5.20121429.0
rom version 1.72.161.3
radio 2.07.51.22_2
any ideas

There's a slider tutorial out there, but I can't get my head around it. If you're more tech-savvy than me (no great feat! LOL), check it out over here:

If you can figure it out, maybe you can help me!!
I was hoping for something less time involved, but that sounds a bit cheeky bearing in mind how much time some of you guys put into the mods!
Yeah, I can only imagine. All I'm good for are icons and wallpapers. As far as getting the HD Walls slider thing to work, well, I came up goose eggs on that, sadly. Shame, too, as it is a REALLY easy interface!! I wish someone could come up with a tool that would allow you to make those sorts of changes (including taskbars!) in a nice GUI as that
it's made more frustrating by the fact that it's like the last piece in the jigsaw. Only need to sort sliders out and it's nearly looking like the phone i'd like. although....
I'm currently working on a Fallout theme and have the wallpaper, slider icons, and some of the app icons done. I just need someone to help me mod the clock and make my slider icons work and I'm golden! LOL. I'm going to post and see if anyone wants to volunteer and we can put the components for the theme up on here as a group effort!
that would be nice have to get the fifties ring tone to go with it, always an oblivion man myself.
First things first. I want to take the current ROM I'm running, which incidentally is damagecontrol 2.07, and build a custom theme that is much darker than the stock HTC Sense, with some transparent elements, and changing every single bit of that day-glo green color into a nice cool blue, while keeping LWP fuctioning. I figured I would be using Metamorph for this, unless there's some sort of incompatibility issue that I have no clue about. Fairly simple, so I thought.
I'm new to android, but I have done themes and skins for things like winamp in the past. Lets be clear up front, I am in no way a slick coder, I haven't the slightest idea how to code Java, or Android, or the Linux it is based on. I'm a graphic designer through and through, and that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
Currently, I need help with setting up Eclipse to compile .9.png images for my theme. I've tried to research and get info on the .9.png images, and I understand how they work, I just haven't been able to find anything to tell me which version of Eclipse to download, (there's several on the site) and how to set it up with Android 2.1, (and a fairly new leak from Sprint) which is what the ROM is based on.
I can't help but think that what I'm asking help for has been asked before, but I don't know if I'm just searching or looking for the wrong thing, and I'm having a tough time finding answers to a very quickly growing list of very specific questions. If there's any thread's you guys know of to help me out, or specific resources to check out, let me know, so I can stop cluttering the forums.
In 5 days I'll have my newest thearmo theme up. Every bit of green is being replaced by cool blue. If you want, you can use my blue framework files to build your theme around. I've spent hours making everything that was green into blue. It's insanely tedious, especially the 9.pngs. I'm working on those right now. The offer stands...if you want to save yourself some time, you can build your theme with the files from my framework, etc....
hope that helps.

I hate to be a wanna-be mod, but this is posted in the wrong section. This is only for ROM development, not theming.
good luck with the theme tho, sounds awesome.

I agree with you whole heartedly (but you also know how rewarding it is when you see the finished product )

yes it is in the wrong area but still why not help answer the guys question. if you are looking to theme I wrote up a pretty comprehensive guide on how to do it you can find it in the wiki pages or just click here.

I want to change stuff like icons, the flip clock and other cosmetics. I've got loads of ideas, but no clue of how to make use of them. I am absolutely new to creating themes, but my creative and GIMP skills are superb, if I may say so myself. So how do I do it? I need some kind of program right? Will the theme work on any ROM?

Would also like to know this. I just got the new MIUI rom and there's so much I want to change >.<
This would be very interesting - so I´m still waiting for good posts.

Major bump, I am also, very interested in this.
well i rarely leaves comment on any site but your blog is really so amazing that i can't stop myself from making comment on it...
need help have found multiple battery icons that i think would be an awesome addition to the awesome criskelo and king droid roms that i use as i am only familiar with the basics like rooting and flashing roms if any themer is willing to help i am uploading all the images i have found so far and will upload any additional ones that i find
more battery icons
uploading more battery icons if someone is willing to help make theme for me or at the very least explain how to mod current criskelo or king droid themes to include them
I like the fact that you thing this is easy, theming is really very complicated and hard to get done, its not just about replacing icons, yo need thousands of hours working on photosop, learn how to deconplie and compile apk's properly, working with hundreds of tiny little images till the puzzle is all done, and certainly not something that can be taught in afew post, so go google and learn by yourself, there is enought info out there

i never said nor did i imply that theming was easy i was just asking if someone could include these battery icons in a theme that is being made or has already been made for the roms that i use as it is out of my league at the present time if it was as simple as replacing icons i would have used an app for that i recognise the hard work that developers on here do and while i do apreciate it i dont think its wrong to ask for help or suggest someone use the icons that i have posted in their next theme
