Damage Theme Servers

Hi all,
Damage can you give us more info on the theme servers? We should compile a list of them and keep them in one place if possible.
Thanks

Yes, I am very interested in this too.

yes this would be sick and greatly appreciated. I thought i was the only one thinking about this.

Its ****ty people made damage want to leave right when he releases dcupdater. Hopefully he will still support it.

I was searching for it yesterday, and didn't find anything.
I'm looking forward to this, too.

don't know if you have read or not,but a lot of bs happened yesterday. damage may be gone forever. with all the work he has put into the community this is a shame.

Guys, he's staying for now. Just keep on topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6143375&postcount=1441

If you couldn't tell, I have decided to stick around for now. The dust has settled for the most part. We know who did it and if you choose not to support that developer, that's up to you. I personally am done with it. I know who I can't trust now and will do my best to not let stuff like that bother me. What's done is done.

Who cares?.. Theme servers! Keep this on topic. Damage mentions that he is working on them.
damageless said:
I expect to have some themes up and going within a week or so.
Anyone who has created a theme and would like it to be put on the theme server, please PM me.
I am also working with some other devs to get an OTA updater app on their ROMs. Seems to be a pretty popular request so I will work with other ROMs to get this going ASAP.

Would you guys be interested in an all-encompassing theming guide?

As I've eben working on my own theme, I've asked a lot of questions , and (obviously) learned a ton along the way. I've been keeping a log of a lot of it, but, I was wondering if you would all be interested in an "end-all, be-all" guide to theming from scratch? With things like important file locations, tutorials on .9 pngs, decompiling and editing xml, etc. etc.? Maybe I'd even PDF it and have screenshots and everything.
Just something I've thought of, but, it's REALLY not worth it if people aren't interested, bc it'd be time-consuming.

I would definitely be interested. I have been looking for something for awhile now. I have found bits and pieces haven't been able to put it all together and figure it out. I have an app I have been trying to theme to match the clock I am using and cannot get it right. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
This is what happens when I try to theme SwitchPro widget.

Yes, I don't have time to figure it out on my own like you did. So that would be pretty fly.

Hey dmoses, go ahead and attach that .9 png you did for the background of switchpro, and I'll fix it for you real quick.

uhm that would be awesome ive tried changing a bunch of things on my phone on to find out that maybe half ever work and not knowing why lol

I'd love to see this too. I was spoiled with theming for the Palm Pre & would love to get into theming for Android now.

I am always open to answering questions about theming. If I can anyway.
Personally, I learned a lot of my android business from SDX-Developers. There a bunch of us brainstormed and basically relearned android. We pulled a lot of info from XDA yes. And for that I am greatful. However, since so much had to be relearned, a lot of info is documented in the forum. And most devs are still active so getting a response to a question, or at least someone to bounce ideas off of, is pretty easy. Android across the board is very similar no matter what device.
I would first recommend google search being that there are a ton more forums beyond xda with information. SDX is where I usually go for more technical questions or discussion, but then again it is where all the Moment users went when XDA shunned us.
Documentation is key if you want to remain open source so the mods can be used or altered for future use.

+1 Great idea

Glad that people could use something like this. At some point I'll deifnitely start to work on it.

For all the people giving me a hard time. If I knee this wasn't the place to post this I wouldn't have.
I did a search for a prl and there was a thread on this section for 60674 and noone was a d**k to that guy. Moderator please close.
PS. It's harder to get a thank you in this forum than it is to get pooped on...and for that I say thank you.

old news and theres two prls already a thread in general

nice job dude, where are you links? cant wait to try out what you've made here. So what made you want to start dev'ing for the evo?

It's the Internet. If someone is a **** to you and you take it personally, your doing the internet wrong. And people generally aren't dicks when you follow the rules.
Now the OP knows it probably shouldn't have gone here, he learned. He won't do it again. If he's gonna cry cause some anonymous person was mean to him, let him. If he laughs it off and doesn't take it personally and learns from it then there is no hard feelings, just like it should be.
Sometimes I'm glad my father was kinda a **** to me. Makes me glad I didn't turn into a wuss who complains when people are just a little mean. It's not like he told him to **** off. He was a little sarcastic. Jesus. Now who looks like an ass hole? Not the OP, not the guy you quoted, just you, and now me. Man up.

Very Grateful... Anyone want to take a newb under their wing?

Hey my name is Scott and ive been using ROMs from this website for awhile now and well lets face it i think im addicted to flashing new ROMs... either that or im determined to turn my infuse into a brick. . Anyways, besides the introduction i wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every developer on this site and especially the ones in the infuse section for making my phone 20x better then it ever could be. Its amazing what you guys come up with. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication. With all this being said, I would absolutely love to learn how to do this. As far as programming goes, i havent done anything since the days of VB3 . So... Would any of the awesome developers out there want to mentor a newb?? I would be very grateful if someone could teach me what i need to know and maybe one day develop my own ROM.

First off, thank you as well. Without out flashers our work would be virtually worthless
Secondly, before starting development take a day to sit down and really research articles on this site. The more knowledge you have before hand will put you a head of the game. Once you have basic knowledge, pick a base rom. One that you feel would be best for what you want to build. Download that rom. Download nunhuggers apktool, the necessary Java development tools. Decompile the rom and take a while to look through it, and kind of get an understanding of how things work within the rom. That would be the best starting point.
Also when developing your own rom, before you release it take time to make sure everything is in working order, releasing a half broken rom is no good, releasing a solid, stable rom is aces. I'd you need anything I will gladly answer any questions I can, and help in anyway I can. Most senior devs would be glad to help as well, very good community we have here.

Thank you for your response and advice. I have briefly gone over guides and documents ive found just by doing a general google search and of course from this site also. It looks kind of complex, but im sure your suggestion of taking a day and sitting down to decompile it and take a good look would really put things into perspective.
When i do a search for nunhuggers apktool, it just comes up with a tutorial video? Is this what your referring to or is there an actual download that im missing?
Thanks for the offer to help if i need it... I have a feeling ill definitely be taking you up on that. I have noticed just from downloading ROMs and general observations on this forum that everyone seems pretty awesome and are willing to help. Glad to have finally joined and posted.

There should be a download in his topic, not sure if he took it down or not. I'll upload it when I get home and give you the link if you don't have it by then. His video explains how to use it and its very simple to do

Not to discourage, just giving you some advice, it is allot of work for even little things, I say down and tried to edit the 2.3.6 and add a simple extended power menu, took me 30 mins at least and I didn't even get to test it, wouldn't re compile for some reason, again not to discourage, just trying to give you some insight into what's needed

If you have mac laying around...or if your willing to run linux this is a great tool! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623 its called android utility and it downloads and installs everything you need to get started...except java gotta download that before you run this tool.
The first time you run it it will go througb the installation process and it will get you just about everything you need...
-dsixda's android rom kitchen (great for decompiling a rom and recompilimg a rom)
-apktool (for decompiling apks...this tool is neccesary for development if you want to add tweaks and mods)
-simple adb interface (has a list of options, choose what you want and it does the code for you)
Has some other stuff too but thats the main stuff
I have it on my linux computer and it runs great!
Ill upload some pics of it as soon As i finish my lunch
And if ou ever have any questions send a dev a pm, they are all very helpful!

Hello and a quick tip! Before setting up your Linux box make sure that ALL of your hardware/peripherals are supported by the Linux distribution you choose. You can see a list of all your hardware in windows by typing "device manager" in the search box. If you find that all your hardware is supported, have fun .
