So, I've created my first theme.
EDIT: Version 0.6 is out -- check it out.
It is a Desire like theme, with a black bar and colorful icons.
This theme is still a work in progress, so watch for updates. I will try to keep it updated as CM6 updates are released, so watch for that as well.
This theme works wonderfully on CyanogenMod 6.0.0 STABLE on the Nexus One, should work on other HDPI devices (EVO4G, DROID Incredible, etc). It may work on 854x480 devices (DROID), but I'm not sure. Give it a shot, if it works for you, let me know!
A special thanks goes out to Formel-LMS and MicroMod777, for their themes are which this theme is based off of.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, your computer, your mom, your girlfriend, etc. I will try my best to help you out, please bear with me.
PROTIP: If you have issues applying this morph, first, try again, second, adjust your speed in the metamorph settings and try again. If you would like to revert, reflash your base ROM (and GAPPS).
morphed this, looks awesome
did get about half my apps showing up duplicated in the launcher though.
Well, that is quite odd.
I had no issues here, and quite honestly, I have no idea what would cause the icons to duplicate. Hmm...
Thanks for the props though!
ill look into it, its prob just my phone
everything else is fine, its nice to have a blackbar on froyo with transparency to it instead of a solid pulldown color
good stuff man only this i can tell that could be updated is when i pull down the status bar "t-mobile" is black/dark grey is that by design?
Yeah, I noticed that as well. I still gotta change that to white.
I'm quite tired though, and I was getting ready to head to bed.
I will put out 0.3 tomorrow, fixing that.
Thanks again guys, enjoy!
Sorry it took me a couple days to get the update out there, I spent the weekend at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. While it was a blast, it did delay me getting the update out.
The only thing that has been changed from 0.2 is the network name color from black to white.
However, I would like some feedback. Do you think it would be cool if I made the text RED while roaming?
What else would everyone like to see out of this?
I'm also thinking about changing the LED colors on a per-app basis...
GMail = Red
Google Voice = Purple
Google Talk = Yellow
etc...
What do you think about that?
Come on guys, help me out!
Morphed this with metamorph and now my settings and menu>widgets crashes with the note "android.processes.acore has crashed" Any help?
Grab me a logcat? Also, perhaps try to re-morph it at a different speed? I have mine at 4200 and have had no issues. And where exactly is this occuring again? Can you clarify it a little better so I can attempt to re-create it on my end?
I'm sorry that you're having issues and I would like to help, but you gotta help me help you =D
I got rid of my issues with "android.processes.acore has crashed" by dissabling screen cache in adw launcher settings...
Basically I'm running 7 screens with scrolling widgets for messages and calendar (pure).
Flicking a few times back and forth between screens and scrolling the widgets would cause the error time and time again until I disabled that.
Now the scrolling is not as nice as before, but the prosess doesn't crash.
The morph works without issues on my n1.
-e
----edit--
Request for battery percent if it can be done
Some roms have started including it, and I'm sure cyan will on next alpha, but until then it would be nice to morph it in..
Apart from that, all good. I like it simple. Perhaps add some colored settings (like my screenshot) that would match the settings app..
Will this work with CM6.0a1 and launcher pro replacing ADW as default launcher in system/app?
I'm also looking for some info on using themes in cyanogen with launcher pro. Is there anything out there?

Yeah, that sounds pretty intensive. 7 screens lol. I'm using 5, with quite a few widgets, with no issues.
I will try to incorporate those features for you.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with Launcher Pro, at least in its current state, I don't touch the Launcher.apk at all.
May I ask why you prefer Launcher Pro to ADW? I'd just like some insight, I've never really looked into LP.

LP is MUCH Faster than ADW!!! That is one reason. I know it is close sourced but it is definitely faster at the moment. We will see what happens with updates.

Will this work with the Nightly Builds for CM6?
I think it will break battery percent on the nightly builds...
To get battery percent I believe the changes are in services.jar, and since this metamorph modifies that to get white text then it might break. (I'm not sure though)
I will try later today though, so we'll see
Perhaps the op would be so nice as to create a temp morph for the nightly build *wink* *wink*
----edit----
Yea, nightly build is on, and its sweet
The morph will break a lot of stuff, but I reckon if we remove the xml/jar files from the metamorph, and just apply framework.png's it will work fine.
CM6 nightly will let you change all text colors to whichever you want through settings, so the morph need only to contain .png's...
---edit2---
Removed the "services" folder, and the "layout" folder (in framework res), edited the sexyblack .xml to remove the entry for the files I deleted, and now this work perfect on cm6 nightly!!
Hey all, I played around a little today with building CM from source. Pretty sweet stuff.
I will put out a version tomorrow that will work with the nightlies.
And yes, it will be a hell of a lot easier because the color control is incorporated in CMParts.
I'm off to bed, long night.
Thanks again guys!

It's good so far but the battery icon is off center for the percentage number in CM 5.0.6. It sits off to the right. Obviously it can be turned off but I like it and it's only a small adjustment needed I think to have the text in the middle, which would look awesome.
-
Also, I prefer the version of helix launcher 2 with the launcher button in the middle. I think this was changed back in the most recent one. This is a personal preference though so I don't expect you to change it just for me
no link for v1.1.7
Link for 1.1.7
/xxNex_506_v117.html
sorry about links being broken, fixed, and regarding battery percantage, that requires more knowlege than i have, i keep it turned off, batterylife widget ftw. but as per the helixlauncher i just need some time and a copy of the middle buttoned one and i will theme it. thanks!
I tried flashing the black zip and I get constant FCs. I even wiped and it still happens. After the wipe I was getting boot loops. Any ideas?
same here always FC or bootloop
What is the name of that battery widget you have?
Nice theme!
If you wanna have a clear bar, that works better with market or browser, look at my GlasStatusBar.
You can use it for your theme, if you want!
@people w/ fc's Idk what to tell you, I'm currently using the black version and it works fine and I put it on my friends n1 and it works fine
@talderon curvefish batterylife widget

First of all, I love it.
But I wish that it supported the 5-icon rows in the app launcher. Also, how do I turn off the battery percentage in the battery icon? And lastly, why do the pictures have the droid guy in the center but the download doesn't? I am using the clear status bar.

the android guy is themed into the launcher, its not working for you?
and batt percent is in spare parts,
UPDATED!
Yea, the android guy was there, just off to the side and I was wondering why that differed from the pictures. Also, is there anyway to make the 5 row launcher or is there another one that has that option? I know CM has it.
EDIT: Also, I am about to download the newest update. But if it hasn't changed, is there any way to change the color of the name of the folder, the word that is in the top that you long press to rename a folder.
I decided to do my own based off of JD's and Original Android <3ers! , also credit to tr.slate for the blue androids for when connecting to pc.
Anyone who wants to mod the file please do, any enhancements you want to add please do.
this is the Desire theme, just with tr.slate's androids, hope you all like it, and give a big cheer for these guys.
the background is not part of the theme thats a ADW launcher theme from the market called iDroids.
by the way you will still have to change to white as in the old JD theme, and you FLASH this Via Amon_RA 1.7.0.1 or clockwork (not tried this one).
Right i have also made a MORPH if anyone wishes to try it, REMEMBER do NANDROID first i am not in any way held responsible for any damages or loses.
USE of this theme is solely upon you.
right desiretheme white is with the car nav notification white, it is not great but im not a graphics designer, also have change sms and mms notifications smily face to green. and also the gmail notification is now a little symbol of the gmail icon.
number on the end of the file relate to the number on CM nightly's.
RIGHT I NOW HAVE COMPILED A ROM FROM CYANOGENMOD SOURCE
* Now this is Cyan's Work i take no credit what so ever,
In this rom you will find it is a 6.1 CM release with some added features.
* Added Dark Tremors A2SD Script
*Added Desire Theme - for those who want it
*Edited some Gmail, MMS, And settings icons.
TO BE ADDED
* I want to add IntersectRavens Kernel from the start.
(will be avaliable soon) - Testing!!!
THEME UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!

DesireTheme(612).zip (i.e. not morph) on a cm6 nightly from yesterday. Took awhile to track down all the places you have to manually change notification text colors, but well worth it.
cool, glad it worked.
Morph didn't work on 055406. It applies ok, but nothing is changed after a reboot.
Ok will have to look into that.
Can I ask what version of metamorph you are using.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
ok, uploaded a changed morph. let me know if this works. i had a .thm file and .xml file in there, dunno if thats causing the prob, i have removed the .thm file and left the xml file. see if this works.
It works now. Turns out TiBackup did not restore the market link for MM so there was an update I could not see. Thanks for this man, it looks good.
cool, glad it worked.
I noticed that the "car home" icon that shows up in the status bar when using the car dock is still the default black icon (on the now black status bar). What're the chances of getting a reverse car dock status bar icon in some future update?
i will look into that
Here's another battery morph, because I know you guys like your custom batteries. Plus being one of the only animated icons, they are fairly fun to work on.
This Morph converts your current battery icon to a series of six dots. As the dots drain, empty dots replace them. When you plug in to charge up, behold–it turns into a series of arrows! wow, hahaha. (idk, i like it...)
This probably wont work with the percentage overlays, as the icons are pretty complex, and dont really facilitate great legibility of the percentages. But one can only do so many circle and square batteries, so I'm branching out to do other ideas and shapes.
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.

==================update 8-24==============
Here's an arrows only version as well that some have requested. This one functions a bit differently than the arrows on the dots version, so check out the screenshots and all icons jpg to see if you like.
=================update 8-26===============
Made some serious improvements to the Arrows versions. Now have both dark and light versions for different colored bars, as well as improved icon size and spacing for better viewing. Check out icon image below.

Do you have usb debugging enabled? Its been in the op in red since I posted, but I cranked the text size up so no one will miss it again. If that isn't it, you prob need to do a full data/cache wipe, including dalvik cache and reinstall your rom. If you are running a rare/uncommon rom, i suppose the pathways could be incorrect, but I have yet to encounter that issue. If so let me know what rom it is, and ill take a look at the pathway and repackage it for that particular rom if thats the issue. But try the other stuff first.

Sorry, but there isnt really anything else I can do to make it compatible for you. There is nothing in the zip that could cause any of that stuff to happen honestly. Its just a zipped folder with some images and xml telling the images where to go in your system.
I would think that if it worked before you themed, but then your phone went crazy after you themed, that there may be an issue with the theme or the way you applied the theme or something else.
That's why I dont create themes though, too much room for something to go wrong. Morphs are much lighter, more stable in my experiences, and easier to apply. But that's just my two cents.

How to install:Important!
You will need to download Koush's bootstrap application and bootstrap your recovery. Then you can boot into recovery via the same app or you can install via ROM Manager(by rebooting into recovery, not via install rom from sdcard). Once you boot into recovery do a FULL nandroid backup and then you go to mounts and storage and mount /system manually to avoid more issues. Install zip from sdcard and toggle signature verification to disable. Now you can install the zip from the sdcard. Once this is done, reboot.
Now for the download

I was currently in the process of installing Epic Unleashed 1.1! when I just saw this, lol.
I'm having the "stuck on the M screen" after I installed Epic Unleashed 1.1 from Bootstrapper and restarting the phone. I've pulled the battery and everything loads up fine but didn't see Epic under the Android Version.. So I tried to reboot the phone using bootstrapper recovery.. It then becomes stuck on the M screen again.
Additionally.. I tried using Rom Manager to get into Recovery mode but I just get a screen of the Android with a !.. What are my options at this point?

Report back if you like it
I like it. Blur removal is similar to Tranquility Rom, which I like.
A few minor issues though:
1. As stated earlier, notification text is still black: date, sdcard, and any text displayed similar as these items.
2. Progress bars have vertical white lines breaking it up. Does not look nice.
3. Swype is busted after flash, but if you install the one from the Droid 2 dump you can get past this issue.
4. It does not appear that you include all of the FM radio libraries and servies. You include the APK and one library, but you are missing the other two libraries in system/lib and you are missing the FM radio service in system/bin. This will cause the FM radio to not work.
Again these issues are minor, and overall I like Epic 2.0. Look forward to the polishing. I think it is almost there. Thanks for your efforts.

The progress bars are blur it self, not my doing. This does not completely remove blur as I stated before. Swype was removed from the system/app folder because I got a email requesting its removal threatening legal action. I will look at the FM radio. Sorry about that, just found the apk and threw it in there. Didn't know I needed extra things Thanks for telling me!

Cool, Swype is no big deal or the radio thing.
I am curious about the progress bar. I am not referring to the moving angled white bars, but I am referring to new straight bars that are breaking up the progress bar into segments. I know the scrolling angled white bars are normal, but not the white lines running completely vertical that don't move(I think I said horiz early but I meant vertical).

I know what you mean about the progress bar. I am not sure exactly what it is, but it isn't my doing. It is stupid Blur. You can go try another blur removed rom and it would still happen, sorry :/ I am gonna look at it tho

I didn't see it on Tranquility. Are you sure it doesn't have to do with the framework edits to get the black bar? I don't mean directly, but maybe indirectly. It is a curious artifact either way. Kind of jarring in the UI.
Anyways, thanks again for the good work.
Sorry to bring up another issue; I have an eye for out of place things.
I noticed when you are pulling down the notification window, you see a transparent box extending past the notification drawer. It is faint, but once you see it, you can't unsee it. You can see it in mid pull, it is a bit odd.
Try it when you have an application with a white screen like the browser.

That isn't just my rom in general. It is blur once again actually. When I had my D1 and I used the Droid X theme I saw that too.

I see. Your probably right. It is one of those things you don't notice until you notice it. I have noticed a number of quirks with the blur theme on a stock phone, so you are probably right. It's like they don't have quality control.
update: I just did a nandroid restore of my Tranquility Rom and noticed that these blur quirks do not exist on my phone, neither the black notification box or the progress bar issue. It appears these issues can be fixed. Maybe you should contact the Tranquility guy.
Yours and his are very similar, but the black bar got me and I flashed yours, these quirks though really distract for me. I hope you can figure theme out. Who knows, maybe when I get some free time, I will look into myself.
Hi All,
I've been trying to figure out how to theme by taking a theme apart and then comparing stuff to my phone. I got "most" of the Revolution Theme working properly on my Mez. It was taken from the Fascinate Theme Thread...
The only thing that I've found that has a force close is trying to go into sound settings...
Anyone know where that file is in the theme pack that I need to change?
I've attached a screen shot for your review of what it looks like.
OK, I got it working. I had to pull out my Settings.apk, make the changes to it and then put it back into the package. Seems to be working well now.
The only thing that hasn't changed that I want to change is the lock screen. Anyone know what files specifically need to be modded to change that?
Anyone interested in trying it out? Remember to do a backup before giving this a try!
I'm running SuperClean .2 with a voodoo kernel as a reference point
Put it on the root of your SDcard and then boot into clockwork and choose install Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1429928/Retrokid_Revolution_DJ05_V3.6.mez.zip
I'll give it a go.
As a point of reference:
Variant of the voodoo kernal
Pick-n-Pack rom
Hope you like it. I have to figure out how to fix the lock screen though.

I'll be looking at it too, as this goes along with what I'm doing while I'm on vacation anyway. I am not 100% sure, but I think the lock screen and a few other things that you are going to want, are going to be in the framework.res.
Another note, this uses aosp mms.apk which has a problem still with sending and receiving picture messages.
I got it installed. (Sorry it took so long, I didn't realize I was at 3% battery when I posted)
Installed with no issues, however I'm getting a big difference in the battery meter. My widget says 65%, the rpm battery gauge says 80%.
Also, it reinstalled Mail, which I had taken off in the Pick-n-Pack. Was that in the zip?
Yes, mail was included as one if the customized apps. Hmmm, you didn't want mail? Not sure how to remove that. Do you liked it? I live the font and different icon scheme.
The mms its a problem but I was going that once it got fixed that I'd be able to update it.

I unzipped it, system-app, and took out the programs I didn't like. All in all it looks pretty good. I will use it again when the mms issue is fixed (I send A LOT of picture messages)
Updated File - Screenshots
Got it perfect now. I didn't like the battery meter in the first try.

Just as a thought, you might want to change the name slightly. The DJ05 part of the name has to do with the release version. The Mesmerize is currently on DI14. Nothing critical right now, just confusing if and when we start getting updates and things need to be changed for themes to work with different ROMs.
Great work, btw. Glad to see others are working on stuff for the Mesmerize.
Good point. I'll make the change to the file name.
Thanks!
So, in order to install this all I need to do is flash it in clockworkmod recovery after booting in recovery mode? I almost have this flashing down, but haven't tried a theme yet...

Yes, make a backup using Clockwork or Rom Manager first, then boot into Clockwork recovery. Scroll to Install from zip. Select "Choose zip" then navigate to it on your SD card. Select it and it will install. Let me know how you like it.
I will for sure, thanks man.

Dude this is awesome! I love the notification bar (transparency, GPS/wifi/etc icons, black, signal & battle icons), and the font, and the way the texting looks (even though I only use Google voice) and the search bar, and stars and checkmarks, and loading icon.
A couple issues I have with it though:
+When you hit the menu button, its impossible to read the black text on the black background the text should be white or grey I think
+ the battery meter isn't very accurate (according to "battery status"). I would love if the battery could be more accurate, because the app I have right now has almost the same icon for telling how full the batt is (only yours looks way cooler, and its on the other side of the notif bar, which I like)
+Then the last thing is this font, which I think there's something I can do to fix. I like the font on my keyboard and in menus and stuff, but I don't really want it on every webpage and text. I use dolphin browser, you know what I could do?
Last thing, is it possible to make Google voice look like the normal texting app, or different in any way? I'm not a huge fan if the way it is now.
Overall I really like it, and I'm keeping it : ) thanks!

Trying this out on my Super Clean .3 rom with voodoo kernel.
Can confirm that this works and is sexy; I agree with the three gripes above though. Can't read the menu buttons, battery isn't perfect, and the font is a bit annoying. If possible the status bar might look a little better with a slight gradient, though that might just be the wallpaper or whatever. Overall, this is a good theme.
-herpderp-
A couple more spots I've noticed the font is a hard color...
-android keyboard, white squares appear above the letters you press with no letters in them.
-on notification bar, most apps have white text and is a bit difficult to read on grey background.
-theres another one that I forgot where now....
And since I flashed this my YouTube isn't working, and I can't download from mediafire.... haha I think that might be a fluke, but Its weird: s
