There's some great devs out there but no themes?

Look through the sub-fourm that you just posted this thread in.
1. It is time consuming.
2. Most images need to be recreated.
3. People are still too busy playing with the phone/waiting for stable ROMs.

I perfectly understand it's a lot of work. I just was surprised that there weren't more of them. I definitely didn't mean it in a derogative way. I truly give the devs a standing ovation for their hard work and efforts. I guess it's me being impatient as always! Am used to the g1 forums being crammed with new stuff. My apologies if I offended anyone.

Also, I think most of the main themers with the G1 don't have a nexus yet lol. I know one of them just got a nexus, so I need to harass him some more so he starts working on his theme.
I just purchase Nexus One just before few days.Well my experience is positive.Recently I am using some themes which I have downloaded from few sites of themes,but I am not much satisfied from that so I am surely trying to make some new themes in a short period of time.As I complete that I will surely share that here.Till then please keep in touch...

You just bumped it.
why not make one yourself? Theming in the case of resigning and rezipping is easy. Editing the pngs is probably next hardest (esp. when you see what guys like Sir_Mez and Manup456 are able to do- now that is skill) and then you just learn how to fix 9patch drawables- easily done if you spend a bit of time reading. All the information is in the android theming section.
At the moment there is no theme template for cyanogen which is one reaosn why no themes- personally i just have a themed framework-res.apk, services.jar, Launcher2.apk, Browser.apk and vending.apk and each new rom i just still the themed images in to the apk files and push them across via adb- not for general consumption. And unless you barrack for Geelong Football club my theme is no good for you
There are plenty of themes for the Nexus One, just many of them arent found on this site.
Here is mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625306
As already said, there are quite a few out there. Some are flashable, some are morphs.
I think that the apps and themes parts of this forum should be broken apart into two uniques so it is easier from a user standpoint
Why are there a lack of N1 themes. I thought there would be more. Can someone let me know where a good place to grab some themes. either metamorph or flashing. looks like the G1 still has the best themes can these be easily ported to N1? can other phone MM themes be used on the N1. help need more options.
Why don't you work on creating some? Better yet, you could mock the people that do work hard making them with threads like these.
The lower resolution themes can be ported, just would take resizing every image. Themes for the Droid can be easily ported over since the images are the same size.

This. Period.
Don't say "I don't know how" because at one time, David1171, Jairomeo, Formel or myself didn't know how either. But we figured it out. (there are many more themers, those were just a few that came to mind quickly) There are many many posts throughout xda that give a ton of good information. Get that search button working and get busy.
To put it simply, **** or get off the pot.
Wow... you two should probably calm down. The guy wasn't being rude, obviously he was more or less surprised by the fact that there really aren't a ton of themes available for the N1, which is true. This is the problem with XDA, people are always ready to attack other members. How about you guys just worry about yourselves instead of others, and don't assume that just reading tips and how to's will automatically mean people will be able to do something. We need to encourage each other not be smart asses.
@ ced8525 The reason for the lack of themes in my opinion is the user base of the N1 is significantly smaller while the G1/MT3G/Droid. For that reason alone, there is going to be less themes and it also depends on which phones our wonderful themers have.

Good post!
Well, it is so:
Making a theme is not done in 5 Minutes. If you go to work, has an own home, two children and a wife you don't have too much time.
As hard as it sounds:
The day already has only 24 hours.
I did my "themes" at first for me. I want to have my phone so, as I like it.
Then I decide to share it. I like it, when I look into this Forum and somebody pat me on the back.
This is great and the factor, why I share that.
I have spent many hours in the www and got to know nice people.
The Nexus is new. In most countries you cant buy a nexus.
I think, if the nexus is buyable an all countries, there will be more people how can change some icons and graphics.
;-)
At second:
Load you a few themes, change the graphics and try a bit. We love to see more people, who can do this.
Sorry, this post wasn't easy to me, because my native language is not english.
No need to calm down. I'm not the one whining there are no themes for the Nexus. Which is wrong. I look at the first 5 pages of this forum and I count about 15 themes/morphs. And thats only the first 5 pages. This phone has been out for 2 months and there are already 15 themes on the first 5 pages of the forum. If that's not good enough for someone, they can make their own. It's attitudes like that that make people NOT want to do anything.

I think your right the rate at which the themes are coming out is great and while there may not be enough for that person now there sure should be in a few months lol, I mean ow many themes can you use at 1 given time
I being new to Android (Long time Sony Ericsson user) have been searching around on how to create themes and iv found a few places but its not all straight forward information.
I dont mean to be to direct but could you (or another great theme creator) make a quick How To thread on themes, from making the 9png files and editing them etc
While i was using my old SE phone i learned alot, i started porting firmware patches and became a regular source in the forums for porting but now i want to get my hands stuck into doing themes but dont really now where to start

Those threads have already been made and remade. Look around in the Android Themes forum and the G1 Theme forum.
If you want to make a morph, I have already written up a pretty nice tutorial for that, located here
There is also a copy of the .9.png tutorial located over on www.nexus-nation.com (figured since I left Manup out of the themer list earlier I would give a shout to his website since he is one of the biggest and best themers)

If you feel that you have the right to troll around this forum and make whatever negative posts you want, what makes you think that other people can't post about whatever (a Sense ROM, for example) they want? Hopefully you'll come to your senses at some point and realize you're wasting your own time (and the time of others) with most of your posts. I'm not saying this to counter-troll you, just to nudge you toward some self-realization.
OP, I think that's a great idea. First of all, the more ROMs available for a device the better in my opinion. Plus we can scratch one more thing off the list of features that the Sensation has and the G2X doesn't
ty! ^ ^ ^ this dude is always puttin someone down or just stating a negative comment its a joke dude go to another forum!
Hey guys chill. You guys do realize that a lot of people have posted threads wanting someone to port over sense 3.0. More than likely it wont really work. People have tried porting sense over to other non-htc phones and have been able to get it to boot but a lot of things are broken like wifi, data, SMS and they haven't been able to fix it.
So yea I know suprah's post came off like he's trolling but I'm sure he's tired of threads like these. Its not really doing anything good to the g2x's development to start littering this forum with random threads about wanting something that many have posted.
So yeah everyone lets chill cuz I've notice there have been a lot of flaming going on in this forum and it really shouldn't be like this. We're all here for the same thing so there really isn't no need to be mean. Go mavs

First, I don't see where it's his place to scold anyone.
2nd if you go to his posts you'll see he does it regularly. I noticed him doing it a lot and couldn't resist. I knew I became as guilty of trolling when I did it. I couldn't resist.
3rdly I was interested in the original post.
Searching can be a total *****. I rarely find what I'm looking for when I search. I read every new post.
4th I don't see where it's his place.....oh, I said that.
I hate when people are ugly here....JUST TO BE UGLY. I come here to help and be helped, to learn and to teach. I hate trudging through the needless attacks more than I do duplicate posts. At least I can see the dup. posts coming.
And lastly, My quote above is cut and pasted from a post Suprah made....he should definately follow his own advice. I know he has a lot to offer, I've seen it in his posts.
Ickster which part of ur post is the quote from suprah? I'm not really familiar with the guy and what he does on this forum so if he really is a troll I'm sorry lol. It just gets to me when everyone is so mean to eachother

See post #3 above.....
You can click on a persons name and see what they've posted.
Look at mine, you'll see I can be a "defender troll" sometimes LOL. I can't help myself. I do stifle a lot though. I usually bite my tongue.
Like I said, we are all here to learn and help each other. Why be mean?
wow..... nice ickster haahhahaha nice that made my effin day n i totally got what part was quoted n dude we have the best developers working on this phone sense will be ported over imo
@dnguyen1988 and i hear u there but man i felt like ickster,, everywhere almost everytime i seen his name it was something negative no need for that at all we all are here for the pleasure and fun are phone brings us and either want to mod it or just ask questions thats all, no bully ****
I'm not a Sense fan myself (I have a slight CM dependency)...but I would LOVE to see it ported. The more ROMs the better. There is really no reason everyone can't find a home with the g2x...great phone with great devs working on it.
... now, if we could only dual boot Ubuntu I could stop carrying my laptop around...
The great state of Texas vs Suprah. Making some popcorn.
I too would love more choices regarding Roms. Don't see anything wrong with that opinion.
I didn't realize it was ok to post a topic in the Q&A forums with no question in the thread and 2 links in the post. Would definitely love to see more ROMs for our awesome phone (who wouldn't?) but what if everyone started making a bunch of threads like this? I'm sure it would get annoying pretty fast.
Sense sucks. If you want sense get HTC devices. People don't buy a stock android phone to run that ram hungry battery killing sense garbage
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
well

How about an ICS theme for Android Revolution XE?
perhaps they will notice the thread, ill wait for a while than perhaps ill contact them if they don't do it first
cheers for the informations tho
Don't trust this guy, My friend requested a simple banner. He only like to make for Known dev groups. And my friend got banned for 5 days because of him.
it was 3 days, because of rue behaviour... he insulted me so i reported him.
also i sad to him that i look for a deeper cooperation not only to make a banner and than go away.
maybe your friend is 14 years old and don't know how to behave, this is not my problem really.
Maybe you could post some examples of your work...this might get more interest
Also, maybe you should have posted this thread in the General Android Themes forum, rather than only in the Sensation one?
i dont have much work done... have the wp7 icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815448&highlight=wp7
i am looking for a sensation team as i own one, so i can use the work on my phone
i am willing to do work for all phones tho, but would like that the sensation is included.
for the past half year i was doing video animations, and almost nothing in ai and ps.
i made some custom theme but didnt release anything as i did for my phone only...
here are some of my videos on youtube, it doesnt concern phone theming but still you can see my preferences and style of doing things
