I've decided to release two of the ROMs I use frequently. These are pretty much the stock ROMs made by the respective owners; Adam G & Cyanogen, however i've removed some stuff that I never use.
I've added the apps+cache2sd to Cyan's ROM because it doesn't have it native yet, and I've also reintegrated Google Apps back in to save two flashes.
I symlink /etc/hosts to /sdcard/etc/hosts because AdFree can't update the file in it's default location due to rw limits on /system.
I've also added some apps that I always installed anyway, but i've put them on /data/apps so they can be easily removed if you want to.
There are two branches with essentially the same mods:
C = CyanogenMod
O = Open Desire
Current base ROMS
C - CyanogenMod 6 RC2 & DT A2SD+ v2.7.5rc2 + Google Apps re-integrated
O - Open Desire 3.4.2
Common features:
- ADW Launcher 1.1.1 as stock launcher
- Black status bar with custom full colour icons
- Icons patched in MMS, Market, GMail to work with black status bar
- "hosts" file symlinked to /sdcard/etc/hosts to allow AdFree updating
- Magic Smoke & Visualisation Live wallpapers removed.
- Amazon MP3 removed
- ProTips removed
- QuickOffice removed
- Facebook & Twitter moved to /data/app - allows easy removal
Addtional Apps - all installed to /data/app
- AdFree
- Facebook
- Twitter
- RomManager
- SetCPU 2.0.2
- Titanium Backup
- Quick Settings
TO-DO
- Optimize PNG's
- Build in interface colour change without having to import from sdcard
- Build in ADW settings
- Boot animation
- More sexy visual changes
- Make status bar battery percent less jumpy
- Fix SetCPU FC on O branch

I like the idea behind it, will give it a try. Its pretty much exactly what I did after I put Cyanogen RC2 cept I didn't bother with the App2SD.
Sounds interesting mate, I gave a look to CyanogenMod' ROM some weeks ago and I loved it, but I can't live without A2SD+.
Thank you.
Hmmm.. I've been waiting for old school a2sd in cyanogen.
Will give it a try (besides, you'll probably get me fired if I dont )
EDIT:
The cyanogen one worked nicely, abeit a tad slower in quadrant than OD 3.4.2
Not sure if adfree is working, as I'm seeing ads in things that I dont get ads in in OD
nandroided back to my modded OD, although I did flash your font over afterwards
Install went fine with no issues. Quite impressed with it. Good job.

I just flashed the cyanogen based version. Very, very nice; working well for me. But seems heavy on battery. Thanks a lot.

Strange, i had it running ALL night playing MP3's and its only dropped to 60%.
Also there shouldn't be any difference between this and the original ROM as i've not tweaked them power usage wise.

Did you add /sdcard/etc/hosts? It's present on mine when I flash, i might have to add one to the ROM to make the symlink work. Did it write one to your card?
The font rocks doesn't it

I just noticed that the battery indicator does not drop gradually; it drops in steps of 20%. After a full charge, it stayed on 100% for quite a while, and then it dropped straight to 80%. This led me believe the Rom was eating up the battery.

Ah yeah I noticed that too, I'm going to update the battery graphics today and hopefully fix that. I'll put a patch as well as a full build for both as I'm updating some of the built-in apps too.

I am waiting your rom based last "OpenDesire v3.5.0", but I prefer a Mod for only update AOSP.
Wait & see
I'm not sure if it did create a hosts file or not, guess I'm just used to dnlgee's hosts file that's in od
I've picked your rom apart, and made a zip that'll add the bits I want from it to flash over od (just the font and a few command line utils that are in cyanogen but not od). Let me know if anyone wants it uploading somewhere

Lol, didn't do anything of the sort, just copied stuff from /system into a new zip. It doesn't (I hope) touch the framework at all.

awesome love it, like i was saying in the other topic, if you could just get the icons moreup to date to the actual epic gtalk, market, maps etc.. i would love it so much more. im just reallly ocd on the look of my phone, and i just realllly do not like the current icons even for the cm6 theme, just something about them.
and I know sense is a mess compared to stock android, but what is the chance of getting things like the dialer?
and lastly ( i know lots of q. but I LOVE the epics look) any chance of getting some of the epics sounds, like when you click on something on the epic the clicking sound instead of the evos?
screen shots would be very helpful

if your downloading directly from the evo
4shared for some reason has a problem with the evo
now you can still download it
just change to mobile version and download (might be the other way around and have to be desktop version)
and with that last piece of help i must sleep it's 12:30 AM yawn
if only we could get the best part of the touchwiz interface, the notification panel. this looks pretty nice though, be great for a senseless rom.
Got some boot looping (sense version). I wiped before flashing too. I did download to my computer then I transfered to SD card. Maybe its just my phone....
Very nice work though! Thanks!!! Ill keep my eye on the thread.
When can we expect the cm6 version?

i am actually focusing on the sense version atm but download mrcharlesiv's from his post i am basing mine off of his with few changes
changes being a little further themed
_____________________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
also will have an update later today if not tomorrow with a few changed things
and added a themed dialer and contacts (keeps original dialer also)
added media folder so has ringtones and notifications from epic (optional)
and i'm gonna set it up to remove some apk's like htc music, htc clock, htc lockscreen and mail as they are just duplicates and not needed to have multiple of them
will keep htc gallery as it links with camera
Great work on the theme. I love this when I was on cm6 and missed it when I switched to Fresh. I have a couple of questions though. How would I make the notifications bar clear, when you pull it down? Is ther anyway to get the the battery with the number read out like the cm6 rom?
Is there a way to load this without all the AOSP apps?
yeah the galaxy s notification bar would be amazing, but seems hard, i just would prefer an updated icon pack.

well i did put out an update just now
the app icons are not really changed from what they were (as they are the same as epic with some from the galaxy) and the galaxy s notification bar with the shortcuts is beyond my knowledge so i didn't do that
things changed
removed htc lockscreen (now vanilla lock)
removed htc clock
removed htc deskclock
removed htc Music
removed Mail (still have Email though)
removed htc contacts (People)
kept Htc Gallery as it links to camera
added epic4g themed dialer/contacts
added media as requested (from epic 4g system dump)
changed a few icons but almost all are the same
and i think thats all hope i didn't leave anything out
EDIT: looking into putting the Stock Android Browser in it +themed (i Can NOT stand the sense browser) -ACCOMPLISHED
EDIT2: apperently i can only get the contacts and dialer to show up if i flash something else first then flash this over it so i'm kinda stumped so i'm trying to get that fixed up
I HATE ISSUES LIKE THIS!
they do work but have to be installed differantly (contacts and phone)

CM6 release is gonna push back a little as flashing it causes battery to display as just a question mark battery on nightly 9/7
i was wondering, say i apply the all theme and you have an update later, can i just flash the update over the current one? or will doing that mess it up?
also i tried flashing the theme over fresh's new 2.2 rom and no go. just keeps cycling at the fresh evo boot screen

alright i have at least the theme and media out now for OTA but flashing apps causes boot-loop
and i have been on cyanogenmod recently so i did not follow sense Roms and was unaware that an OTA was released
i have several problems in the theme that i have separate fixes for but i am hoping to get it incorporated into the actual theme later on
and now that there is an ota i will focus on that rather then the older one but will at least fix it when i have time
and with this update on progress i'm gonna take a break for a while
Looking really nice. I was wondering, is it possible to just pull the App drawer from the Epic4G/Galaxy S to replace the one in Sense? I like the horizontal scrolling for apps, but would like to stick to Sense for everything else. What do ya think?
Is there a gingerbread theme available for stock 3.70 roms? Can't seem to find any.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Im sure one of our creative devs could whip something up . Im only able to modify current flash zips with new icons . Without a template to work with I cant help you either . Also when you request this make sure you specify with or without battery percentage in the battery icon . There are a few variations of the GB bar floating around for various roms .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904861
This works well on stock 3.70. It also supports the toggle mod. I have attached screen shots. Kudos to the dev.
The battery icon is the gingerbread green, my battery just happened to be dead.
Also, This particular one I am using has battery percentages btw
**UPDATED** I have decided to upload the theme in its present state(so people may enjoy it while I work on it more). Simply flash the Matrix.zip in CWM, to get rid of it, reflash your rom.zip. I have tested this theme using Infused 1.50 /w Infusion 1.8 and found no usability, stability, or readability problems. As always flash at your own risk.**UPDATED**
Matrix 0.5 Theme for flashing in CWM
In it's present state, the notification bar is partially themed, the dark, and grey popups are rethemed 100%, the system font is tweaked, the bootanimation is changed, download bar, volume bar, new emoticons, "rudolph" style window animations. It is basically 30-45% done, the hard work of hand editing the framework is where the rest of the progress will take place.
This theme is a simple UOT Kitchen file(incomplete theme), but I plan on completing this over the next 6 weeks (preparing for overseas travel right now) and making it into a total theme package that will be a cwm zip.
Theme concept: Solid black background, bright green text and icons, muted green for secondary colors, and inactive text/notifications. Some light theming will be along the lines of the matrix (bootanimation, wallpaper) This would provide battery savings by eliminating white backgrounds where possible, as well as increased contrast.
I am learning how to theme using the resources here on XDA, and can complete this project in my own time on my own, but with additional help the time could be greatly reduced.
I will not be waiting for gingerbread as I need to hone my theme making skills while waiting for it's release. My skills are still growing but I am comfortable editing the framework xml and images. Let me know if you want to help.
**Important Note**For whatever reason, you will manually have to copy bootanimation.zip into system/media for it to function. Also, your ROM must support it.
Download Matrix.zip
go for it dude, id def use your theme. i messed around with uot for a few days & was thinkn about going matrix stlye, but im sure yours will be much more impressive, as i have no theming experience watsoever. i think its pretty cool you offered this...

Thanks to above for the downloads, I'm glad your enjoying it. If you like the theme now, just wait until I get more elements themed. The blasted white clock might be a long time coming, but I would rather have it there than remove it to spite it's color. Please be patient for updates, right now I work full time, I own a house by myself, go to college, and presently I am getting ready for my first overseas trip ever in 2 weeks(that's not mentioning the girlfriend or the garden).
I fully respect all the hard work our devs put into the ROMs and esp the Kernel work going on right now, but I just won't put that much time in yet.
My goal is to have this theme as complete as Matted Blues, with significant progress within 6 weeks, most of it towards the end of that time frame.
If anybody who is using this theme has comments or suggestions, I will take them into consideration, as I posted above I would also love to work with a more experienced themer, if anybody likes the direction this is headed.
tried installing, got stuck at installing no update, with no action on the installation bar. i noticed on matted blues he says its for infused rom(s), is this also the case? will this not install on refuse?

i'm stuck in the installing "update" no movement in the progress bar. been there for about 5 minutes. ideas?
byuboy87 seems to have had the same problem, and then have fixed it himself.
It appears you are coming from Infused. This should load fine by rebooting into recovery, install zip from sd card, choose zip, matrix.zip, confirm, then reboot.
Did you by chance try running update.zip instead of matrix.zip?
Please post whatever information pertinent to the problem you can, I would like to track down where people are having problems installing the theme so I can streamline the process and eliminate problems in my next version.
Just installed and liking so far. One thing did notice...in the pull down notifications when using Andchat i can not read the connection status only the errors. Think the connection status is black on black. Not a big deal but wanted to point it out. Great work by the way.

lol id hate to insult your intelligence by telling you the obvious, so if i am wrong i apologize. i had this problem & it was bcuz i was mistakenly trying to flash bootanimation.zip...stupid... slightly confusing at first, bcuz the .zip downloads are in two diff locations. make sure you actually download matrix.zip lol
message from Sams inFuse running REFUSE 1.6, INFUSION 1.5
any chance this will be reworked to work with infused 2.0(GB)? love all the top icons in the notification bar all green. only thing i would like to change is to have the 5 green bar(strength) but not a big deal.
so i just checked theme chooser in bulletproof 1.1 and noticed all of my cm7 themes i restored from mybackup root were there as well,
so i applied one as a test, and it worked!! it skinned the statusbar and the icons!!
screenshots coming soon!

I can't thank you - because I ran out for the day, but i'm going to post a link to this in my thread.
You just probably solved the issue of adding additional themes to my ROM that I was unsure of how to do - if you still have all the stock themes from T-Mo/HTC as well.
Do you?
If so - you are the man!
I still do, when I set the new theme the icons you changed take a reboot to take effect, and of course htc bits don't get skinned but its a start!
when you set a theme when you go back to theme chooser it forcecloses a few times. but i was able to set a few different themes =]

Fantastic - I linked to this post from my ROM thread.
Looks like you cracked the nut open, and now it's time to sort the tasty bits from the shells.
I really appreciate you posting this find - keep us updated on what you come up with.
I'm going to spend a little time cleaning up the GPS thread I got going in dev, then jump back to Bulletproof - you've motivated me to do more work on the graphics/themes now instead of waiting.
Since it seems everyone is pretty stable on 1.1, i'll take this rest period to spend some more time graphically cleaning things up and see what I can do to get more themes added to the ROM.
I am certainly going to make a few more lockrings today - I have made and tested some using different shapes besides the ring and they work out well without problems.
I'll bang out some of those rings, then slide right into working on themes and probably cruise that avenue of development until sunrise.
I actually have to go out in the world and do some stuff tomorrow, but you've got me really excited and motivated.
If you clear cache and dalvik-cache before trying to load themes, you'll suffer less force closes on the theme chooser - let me right now make you a flashable zip i'll attach to this thread to uninstall and re-install the theme chooser and clear caches for you.
If you flash that after the new themes are on the device, it should reset the theme chooser and prevent the force closes - give me ten mins or so and i'll have it up here for you.
Dude - when I get my thanks button back you're getting some!
Edit:
Looks like I have the themes mod still up on my host for when I added the stock themes back in to the ROM when people wanted them before 1.1 - just flash this and it should solve your theme chooser problems.
Make a nandroid first - but let me know how this works for you.

I flashed the zip. When i open theme chooser all the previews are blank. I figure this is because since they were not built to preview the themes. After applying a regular mytouch theme all the previews are there. It seems like the gesture of sliding through the previews makes them forceclose oddly enough. Sliding slowly produces no forcecloses. And when using a system theme, fast slides work fine. Im guessing there are effects missing in the cm7 themes present in htc themes

Okay - good to know and thanks for the information.
We're kinda wandering through uncharted territory as far as my knowledge base goes - while some more veteran devs may be able to handle this off the top of their head to me it's all new.
All the little tidbits of info you are providing is helping a ton - I don't have a copy of CM7 for this device, so to download it now would knock me offline.
I am, however, running CM7 on my Nook Color, which is sitting right here, so now that i've got the GPS thread handled i'm gonna see about pulling some stuff from it and getting a start on this.
I am flashing a fresh copy of 1.1 to my dev phone as I type this.
I will not be including any CM7 themes in my Bulletproof release without direct permission from them. I've asked and received permission to use some of their work in the past - which never came about because it was when I was going to take over CK23's ROM. That obviously didn't go anywhere so neither did the need to use some of their work then.
They are great people and the only request they made was to give them credit for the works of theirs I used. That being something that's important to me - as seen in my ROM thread - I don't see it being a problem to use their themes...
... but not without asking, and if they decide they do not want me to use their themes in my ROM it's not gonna happen... and no hard feelings if they say no - for all they've done for the dev community the least the rest of us can do is respect their wishes.
For the time being, i'll be using their themes to test some stuff out and see how it all works - but again, any public release is dependent upon their permission. With the attention that whole team is putting to ICS I don't expect to get any kind of answer any time soon.
I think It would be a good idea to use the themes to knock the kinks out of using cm7 themes, and build that modified version of theme chooser into bulletproof. I that way we could use the themes with no issues and just go find and download them on our own.

I like this idea too. Figuring out what's missing from either the two theme-chooser/manager.apk files or the themes themselves so people can find their own themes is definitely important.
My goal for Bulletproof was to distribute it with about 20 themes to start on a fresh install - we gotta do something with all that free internal memory available now.
You've definitely paved the way for that dream to become a reality with this discovery and the supporting information you've been supplying since - I can't thank you enough for this.
I love the open source philosophy, curious people, and the home XDA has made for us to share awesome stuff like this - I just can't contain my level of excitement right now and am bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
It really is amazing, I'm just glad to have a mysense rom with awesome themes like honeycomb and gingerblur.
I think the themes themselves are missing the animations compatible with htcs theme engine.
The normal one doesn't bounce around with card like themes. I think that's the real problem, including which makes sense why it doesn't handle swipes well. I it doesn't know how to replicate the bouncing cards.

As far as I can tell it just requires a deodexed rooted mysense ROM.
Use mybackup root to backup your apps including themes and restore it them with data afterward
