Im new to all of this, so maybe you could explain the major differences between your stuff in the "More RED" theme thread and this one?

Hey,got a quick question: I'm trying to install the red icons with better cut - There's a few that won't let me change them, like messages, people,and camera...says "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone" Any ideas of how I can get them to change? It will create the icon,but when I press it, that's the message I get. It's not the red icons, because it'll do it with any icon or pic I try. It has something to do with the particular app itself... any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

File organizer works awesome, still can't change the messages icon tho... it changes for a sec,bet immediately switches back to default...all the others worked - needed full version of the app to add them to my homescreen,but no biggie,only $1.25,and worth it. Any ideas why the messages app can't be changed? Does it need to be renamed or something of the sort? Sorry to hijack your thread JB... Thanks a lot!
Can't wait for th pmf theme. I like this on sense too

The more red thread is more of a mix and match smorgasbord... plus this theme is pretty much completely my own work. I literally redrew a few hundred .9 pngs...
I like cubanaso's red theme but i wanted something that blended with stock sense a little bit more. The other thread will remain open for parts and this one will be maintained for Sense builds.
Wow! This is just to good. Thanks. I really appreciate the work you do. When I get paid I will be more then happy to donate. This is how the Incredible should have looked like expect with stock icons.

Hey! First off, love your theme's! Second I had been using the old red framework theme, and currently just loaded your new red one from here. My question is why didn't you add in the same "phone bar" (not sure the technical term for it) from the old red one to the new one? Just curious cause I thought it looked cooler
Cheers and Thanks for all the awesome themes!
P.S. A Facebook and/or Handcent Icon in red would be awesome
Flawless
1st android phone, how does a pmf file differ from the other one? do you install that one same way?
i figured it out about the pmf so scratch that
Something i noticed in the pmf theme
the Mail icon, the word "mail" is lower than the rest of the other icons text, so if its on the bottom row of a screen the word mail bottom half is cut off
I'd like to see a handcent red theme icon, if possible.

Ok, so I'm rockin' the PMF 1.1 ROM,with your awesome red theme for it - I love it! The one thing I noticed,the google search widget isn't skinned. Wondering if you plan on skinning that out? Also, I have pandora,and wondering if it's possible if you could skin that widget out as well? No biggie-just curious. Thanks a lot!
NOTICE: This thread will no longer be updated! To get the latest updates, visit the new thread here!
This is a custom theme I made for the MIUI ROM. I'm in no way a fan of the stock orange colors Android chooses to use, so I did some work of my own.
Please do not repost (or port & upload) my work without permission; do not claim any of my work as your own; I've put a lot of time into making this what it is today. Before doing anything questionable, ask yourself how you would feel if someone took credit for your work. Thanks for understanding.
¤Changes:
- Almost all orange changed to blue, including highlight text.
- Completely custom, visually appealing UI.
- White pulldown menu rather than the off-white standard.
- Themed system apps.
¤ If you have any suggestions or improvements, please let me know! Any input is appreciated.
This was built to work on HTC Incredible and Desire. If you want a port, request one. May work on Evo 4G.
¤Download:
•v0.7 - Minor tweaks, rebuilt using 0.10.29 English source.

[very outdated, new ones will come in time]
¤¤¤ As a way of saying thank you, it would be a big help if you guys would use my Dropbox Referral Link to make an account [real or fake] so I can keep hosting files for the community; it's filling up rather quickly! ¤¤¤
Enjoy!

Thanks so much for the icons
how deep does the theme go?
Hey there. Thanks for this! I don't like the orange so much. Like Blue a little better at least
Anyway, is the theme supposed to carry into the dialer and messaging and such? When I press numbers in the dialer, they are orange. Selections in the messaging app are still orange as well, as is the orangish background. Wasn't sure these were supposed to be affected by the theme.
Regardless...Thanks again! Closer to getting the phone to the way I like it to look.

UPDATES
version 2
I just wanted to share with you all my custom status bar, honeycomb style battery mod and drop down window for all GINGERBREAD & FROYO GSM roms with CWR except cm7 (I will make one if interest arrives)
CDMA users: SOMEONE SEND ME A STOCK FRAMEWORK.APK
I took the gingerbread overcome gold theme and icons and changed some things.
Thanks to the overcome gold guys.
Thanks to mendozinas for making most of this possible.
Here is what I changed.
*BatteryMod - changed it to a colorful blue hybrid Honeycomb style icon, that shows percentage, and changes progressively from red (low batt) to yellow, light blue then a darker blue. Appears on your lockscreen also.
*Window Animation - TAKEN OUT, BACK TO STOCK AMINAMTIONS upon request.
*Changed overscroll glow colors to custom light blue, dropped transparency of windows
* Status bar icons are now blue
*Status bar - changed background
*Status bar time is now blue. so are written notifications. New blue status bar system radio icons
*Dropped transparency of carrier label
*Customized the Drop down window. window is 0%, also altered style and color of Notification bar, header is transparent now. Made Background transparent around 4 service icons its now blue on black with white text for ongoing items, instead if black on black, dropped transparency
* made the colors more uniform
*A few more things.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL GSM USERS
ALLWAYS do a nandroid backup of anything you change, so you can revert easily. I prefer cwr backups.
Have cwr
Just download correct version and place on sd card. (BlueBarMod ZIP is for gingerbread and FROYO ZIP is, well.......)
flash in CWR.
use fix permissions option.
Reboot and enjoy
Just wanted to share.
New flashable and pics UPLOADED!!!

Installed on Overcome RC1 (Haven't gone Gold yet... still doesn't seem quite right)
Everything looks GREAT! No offense to AB86 or the Overcome team, but the notification bar on RC1 was not functional. This looks great, and I love the animations! The new clock font for the lockscreen is pretty cool too.
All in all, 9 stars out of 10
Also... since you obviously know the answer to life , the universe and everything("42"), I wont mention what I think would make it a 10/10
No offence mate but how do I go back to the stock notification layout? Its really awesome, just too much eye candy for me Hope you can help me out here mate.

Rule #1 of flashing ANYTHING. Nandroid first, flash second.
You need to reflash your stock ROM most likely... Unless you can piece together what changes where made and rewrite your framework.... Yeah, that'd be fun :/ Or if you have a Nandroid, use it... But if it's not recent, you'll loose any changes since the backup.
Fantastic work mate. Genuinely different from most I have come across and fun too!! The fonts very cool I think, not sure about its longevity but for now I'm enjoying it.
Cheers.

Good work man. Just a tip and a request. First add an extra step of fixing permissions after flashing this in tabs that has other modded themes otherwise it will flash but wont be applied on boot.
As for the request (you did say you were open for change). Can we have the notification area clear instead of white grid (hehe reminds me of primary school math notebooks).
Well, after the fiasco that was "feelin' blue" I got together with GunnerMike to create a new blue theme, and I feel this one is much better than feelin' blue was. I've put a lot of work into getting this to a point that I don't think there is really anything else to change, so its time to be released.
Themed:
Framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
systemui.apk
phone.apk
dialertabactivity.apk
mms.apk
contacts.apk
settings.apk
clockpackage.apk
Instructions
****If you are using Humble Rom, in order to install this theme you must first mount /system in recovery, then flash it.****
Make sure you have root and Clockwork Recovery installed
- Boot into recovery (Use either Reboot Button app or Hold Volume Up + Home + Power Buttons when phone is off, until the Samsung logo flashes then release all buttons)
-- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Select "A_Whole_New_Blue_v#.#.zip"
- Select "Yes - Install A_Whole_New_Blue_v#.#.zip"
- Go Back
- Select Reboot System Now.
***The first boot may take a little longer than usual***

I will group them by the overlay I used on the Dialer. After that will be the base theme, then the theme with a black status bar, then the theme with the round battery option, and finally the theme with a black status bar and the round battery option...I hope this all makes sense.

GunnerMike gave me a lot of help on this one. A LOT of help. The mms.apk I used came directly from him, as well as some images (which I made minor changes to), namely the tab images you see in the dialer, contacts, and clock, as well as the status bar, and the background in the dropdown of the status bar. Also the overlay of the face for the dialer buttons. So I owe him a lot of thanks for his efforts to help me. If you don't know his work, check out some of his themes (mostly for Gummy I believe).
As usual, flash this theme at your own risk, myself, xda, nor anyone other than yourself is responsible for damages to your phone.
If you give the theme a shot and like it, leave me a thanks. Or buy me a drink
Here are the dialer options (DroidEye, Face, and Plain)
Here is the circular battery
Here is the black status bar with Battery Option 2.
this looks great. you did a good job. that wallpaper has GOT TO GO!
nice job Pat.
Gunnermike is a great helper. Hes taught me a lot too but I cant decompile **** at my job but I can at my house. But when I'm at home then I cant recompile it, lol.
Just change out that background, it doesnt match but good job.

Given all the icons are now white and the notification bar is transparent, what if you have a light/white background? The icons are going to disappear into the background now?
I guess it will be semi-transparent or even customizable

Yes, it would be good if one could also change the color of the icons. I miss that aswell but at least google catches up to iOS on this one and various custom roms that already had this feature months ago,

That's what custom ROMs and themes are for. Who among us on XDA going to buy this device and use it "as is" right out of the box?
It looks to me like there will be a drop shadow to compensate for light backgrounds/icons. I like the transparency idea very much, actually.
This is always a PITA for us developers, assuming we want our apps to stay current with the appearance standards for the new versions of Android as they come out. Basically, I have to supply icons in differing sizes/colors for several versions of Android and in 4 different densities for each. So for a given notification icon, the app will probably contain about 16 icons to cover it all even though only one of them ends up being used on a particular user's device!
I'm waiting now to see if Android 4.4 will specify something different for the main app shortcut icons since it looks like the standard system icons have a new look.

Except that that is ugly, to me at least. You guys should be happy google does not for some reason start to use Comic Sans as the main script.
Comic sans is the most overused, notoriously evil font ever to exist. Even NASA and other institutes have been known to use it.

It's much more subtle than the example above, and it's quite well done. Even Samdung has found a way to do it in the S4. The drop shadow is just enough. Doesn't look ugly at all. It's actually the only pretty thing about Touchwiz, and it didn't arrive until the latest iteration.
