CM6 UI is really dry and bland... - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

I'm running CM6 with Snap7.6&Turbo and just trying to spice things up a bit. I just don't know where to start. I have been reading through this forum trying to figure out how to apply customizations that are CM6-compatible but just don't feel like I've found the right direction yet. I was looking through some of the screens on the "Post your screens" thread and some of those look pretty cool!
I'm trying to gain a sense of knowledge so that I can start making my own cool screens! Thanks for you help!

You know you can customize it alot. Look in the cm settings.
Sent from my supersonic yea....

lol

Check out this rom. It flashes over CM6. It's got some nice features already built in.

Get LauncherPro and have at it.

this is fun

this is fun
custom icons, battery and boot animation all in one...

fun with fonts (always a winner)

(you can even add stuff to the zip made from the UOT kitchen. thus making restoration after a wipe or ROM flash even easier. for example, i include my custom font so everything is flashed in one go)
adw.launcher and launcherpro are not so far apart as some claim..unless you need a lot of Sense type widgets. i have tried LP and it's ok, but i prefer adw and keep coming back to it over and over. /shrug

I really like Cyanogen, but this is one of the reasons I am toying with MIUI. For the moment it has great features an awesome sms app. A good bit of eye candy and is quite fast. And its all AOSP. All of this out of the box.

Blasphemy! JK. Bland is such a strong word.

[ROM]KKD_MODv4G(FULL)+ADW froyo launcher DL the UPDATE

KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
!!!UPDATE3!!!
(6/1)This is Darchs newest updated rom, plus the stuff i like to roll with. Darch battery fix and vvm are already built in. This is the GOOGLE version, meaning gbits are built in as well. For screens look below. Ive changed nothing visually so no new screenies.
DOWNLOAD KKD_MODv4G(FULL)
(old)Ive been exp battery issues after a days use, and im trying to narrow down the problem...Im working on an update with the new rom and fixes because i would like to run this but i need my battery life too like my DamageRs.....I modded them to have awesome battery, but the same mods on an aosp dont have the same effect, same with my opengl hacks....IM WORKING ON THE UPDATE, bear with me, im only making it better
After taking all of the comments from last nite into consideration, and staying up all nite to finish, I updated the mod with a new launcher, i modded the helix, made two more fonts for the two ver. KKD_MODv3.2G and KKD_MODv3.2lite I fixed EVERYTHING i had comments on....Also i added 5 fonts in update.zip form for anyone in case they dont like what they see....
Ive fallen into a bad habit where i CANNOT flash a rom w/o modding it to my liking......So this is a beta v. MOD of darch's latest and greatest...I HAD to try it. Made me jump Damage Ship for a sec. Still testing, but afict everything is working nicely. Im touching it up now and ill put up the beta in a bit....This is not a beta to me, but ill wait till i get a little feedback to polish it.
This rom has EVERYTHING In DarchDroid + some of XTRA goodies we can ALL use. This is the rom i made for myself, i NEVER used the original.....Im happy to share with you my modded ver. of DarkDroid. I call it DarchKingKang(had to do it).....DDK.v2 for short....
DARCH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I DID TO HIS ROM, SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY, JUST TRYING TO GIVE PPL ONE MORE CHOICE
INSIDE
AKA Reasons to check this particular mod out
+Swype/Android KB Hybrid
+I modded my 1st launcher...other than rosie xD
+Andvanced launcher
+ADW as an update zip case you prefer it...
+DDMS was crying about openGL so i added some of my fixes
+Overclock Widget
+Astro
+Opera
+Glass jogbars and launcher(man i love fireworks)
+MT3G Music
+modded music apk i took from/aka kanged a cyan rom
+BatteryMonitorWidget
+SysTrayMonitor
+wi-fi tether
+UltimateFaves
+Quick Boot
+VVM
+A bunch more stuff i forgot.......
Darch kept this rom so small that even with my utilities/added apks its still less than 70mb!!!!We have darch to thank for the original rom that i based this mod on..... I dont want to offend darch or anyone that loves his work, this is merely what i did before i flashed this rom onto my OWN hero.....I wanted to keep this lite since it is a minimalist rom and i only added utilities that everyone here would utilize....
I got some screenies too.....
PLEASE DONT FREAK OUT YOU DONT GET THE FONT IN THE SCREENIES
Have no fear, that font was just for my v1 of this rom..... im looking for something sweet for everyone else,and as always stock font will be available for dl right below the rom.....

Thank Darch for his stellar work PLEASE
Thank Shoebox for Swype/Android Beta KB i FOUND & ported
Thank ME for CHOPPING/CUTTING/GUTTING/COPYING/PASTING/KANGING......well, you get the idea...
AND LASTLY,NO WHINING,FLAMING,OR NEGATIVITY PLEASE, THIS IS A HOBBY AND SOMTHING I DO FOR FUN, IF YOU CAN DO BETTER, IDC,GO DO IT

Looks really nice but im not fond of the fonts, they look all cut off.
I agree you do good work, but your fonts completely turn me away from trying every one of your ROMS...
Looks cool, I'll give it a flash when you put it up.
TBH though, I hate the stock white notification bar from AOSP builds.. looks especially goofy to me with roms like this where everything else is themed darker

You could take the rom or theme and put your own fonts in before flashing.
Everyone put on your kiddie gloves for markus. Dude, I don't really think he was bashing. He basically said he doesn't like the fonts he chooses. Big deal. He said he likes his work. You don't like the fonts, right? Stop bashing.

I wasn't bashing anybody and i agree the fonts are pretty bad but the theme otherwise looks good. I just said you guys could always install your own fonts.
does this still have the battery drain issue?
Wow those fonts would give me a headache but outside of that great job, always glad to see more roms around the forums! I'll give it a shot.
nice work. Will flash when you get link up. In the mean time I will be looking for a better font.

Sorry about that but its your loss.... If youd looked into what i do youd see i include the stock font with any of my mods because few ppl like mine, and i explained the pictured font in the op...You should really try one and flash one of my update zip stock fonts.....You shouldnt let font stop you from flashing ANY rom, you might miss something really sweet. I have ppl that hate red but ran my red theme till i up'd somthing new because they appreciate what i do.....Sorry youd let a update.zip for stock font stop you from trying something new...Not really looking for fans anyway, just maybe a few ppl that enjoy my mods as much as i do, and i achieved that goal a LONG time ago, without about 98% of cdma hero not looking twice @ what i do, so im used to it and idrc.

Sorry you dont like my app drawer launcher, i learned how to make glass effects so i made that reflection at the top to accent the taskbar, and made the app drawer launcher indicators green to match the system highlites, and lastly i made the button presses on the swype/android hybrid kb orange to match the search bar highlight...... LOOK CLOSER...It matches and IT IS themed...if i couldnt match colors and shapes thered be no point in themeing..Also, i looked for soooo long to find statusbar_backround, and its not the same part in this rom so i couldnt change it. I really wanted to make it just like the launcher drawer originally... All the ideas are very good, but its much. harder to make them materialze.....its easy to say this stuff after you see it.... but i took the time to MAKE it....Thanks for being honest....im sure you can appreciate my honesty as well...

Nope. I waited till he fixed it before i themed it. Camcorder works now too
7 comments; 1 compliment, 1 person keeping the peace, and 5 complaints......I remember a while ago i talked to damage and he was *****ing us out for ragging on DC and what needed to be [email protected] first i thought he was a ****, but ive slowly come to understand him over time.....he was never a ****, i just had NO IDEA where he was coming from.....Itd be a little more helpful if instead of telling me what you dont like, how bout telling what you do like and put it up for me to use so i can make my stuff more accepted by you......Thats EXACTLY what id do, so i dont think its very far fetched to expect it here on a development site...negativity and complaints are soo easy to put out there, but compliments, constructive criticism, and offering a logical solution dont seem to be the common choice around here.....Sorry if anyone finds this a bit harsh, do not take offense. I have been working on this since yesturday to get it up here so ppl can have a modded aosp if they wish, and it seems that all my work is wasted because of something as simple to change as font, is not well liked......I would think anyone following the developement sub forum would know how to change font, or flash an update.zip containing it.....Whats that old saying?? YOU CANT PLEASE EVERYONE??? yep, im thinking that one all the time
​
Loving the new rom. Thanks for all the time and effort you and all the other devs put into building these. I am ready to DL as soon as the link is up. I wish I had the talent, skill and time to build one myself.
I enjoy your work.. I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon at the DL link drops..

No I understand, I've tried doing themes but with two kids it's hard to find the time anymore. I've just personally never liked the look of just the white notification bar, I prefer the Sense black style our Hero's came out of the box until we flashed them to hell and back. The launcher looks good and I get where your coming from to match the launcher to the taskbar. Overall it looks good, and unlike a lot of the other ones I like that font alot and want to try it. If anything it looks like it could stand to be smaller, but again, that's more of an Android issue considering the system resizes the base fonts for the different parts of it and the stylized fonts must be larger to give it the style.
Don't mind the complaints, there's always a place for any sort of theme or rom you can come up with. If anything maybe do a screencap with the stock font at the top of the post for comparison (and since you do provide it as well), then do the rest with the font you want to do. I think that would help with the font complaints.
Thanks for the hard work..now we just need a link
nice work might give it a go

[THEME/MODPACK]1st FROYO THEME/WITH VIDE0 & PIC

NOTE: i have posted this in themes and here so that those that are/were not aware of how to utilize video on froyo would have better chances of seeing it or those that didnt want to check out froyo for the no vid or buggy cam issue. This is also a tut on how to get it working for you. I think this should be posted in dev and theme since it qualifies as both.
​
[THEME/MOD]PROTO-G_v.1
I began work on this and it is exclusive to a specific froyo rom atm. I am working on 2more things right now and i need some feedback towards what to add to this setup, and when i get enough changes/added mods and/or edits, i can then release another PUBLIC version in update.zip form. Its not just a skin though, this is what i did so that i could test a froyo rom. So this is the EXACT mod im running right now. I will be editing two more items shortly. I will be optimizing and zipaligning the app and framework folders since i just found a sweet new script.
PROTO_G PICS
instructions: !!NANDROID ALWAYS!!
(only tested on froyo by myself)
1.flash avalaunch or hero over's froyo+sense
2.reboot
3.reboot recovery
4.flash framework zip
5.reboot
6.reboot recovery
7.flash htc zip of your choice(F!n!$h3R,Baked,FROYO 2.2 and stock)
8.reboot,enjoy
DOWNLOADS:
PICK 1 HTC.PROTO_G.ZIP of YOUR choice(will be adding in stock)
(the only difference is the lettering on the mainnav scroller)
DOWNLOAD FROYO 2.2 VERSION
DOWNLOAD F!n!$h3R VERSION
DOWNLOAD BAKED VERSION
NEXT:
DOWNLOAD FRAMEWORK.PROTO_G.zip
THEN:
REBOOT,ENJOY
The reason there are two files rather than just one or added to a rom is because they do not work together and it will not work that way for me. I am working on it. I will update it as soon as i figure it out.
NOW TO ENABLE VIDEO
1.OPEN new qik i installed version 0.04.05
2.select menu/camera/front
3.press red button to capture video
​
download now available
check ops for download options​
congrats on the first froyo theme and thanks for the work...however, I don't think I'll be using this. Personally, it kinda hurts my eyes to look at. Again, that is just me personally, I'm sure plenty of people will love this ROM. Thanks for the work.
Good theme. I will have to agree with post #3. This theme is to robust for my style. The lock screen, the rosie theme and the font. Not my flava, but maybe someone else will enjoy it.
Wow that has a lot going on. hard to focus on anything.
think if you change the wallpaper you'd find it less distracting, thats whats drawing my eyeballs the most.
You obviously having theming skills, i mean you know how to manipulate stuff, you do good with the colors most of the time. i can't begin to do it. your choice of fonts are always horrible to me though. If you kept stock fonts i guarantee people would enjoy your stuff a lot more. your name looks ghetto on the launcher button also. Look at koni's stuff, thats good theming, and he doesnt put his name out in the open with some ghetto freestyle uneven font to be in your face 24/7. Tone it down some if you care to please others. If you dont, which you make clear in all of your theme threads, then leave it alone and only you will like it. I've never seen anybody rip in to themers like they do to you, i'm beginning to understand why, Waste of bandwidth.

If thats a bad thing im sorry. not a big % of pps like my theming,but the ones that do, really apppreciate it and encourage me to continue. If someone else made themes that i would be happy using, i wouldnt have ever started doing what i call theming.

If you have no idea how to do this than thats it. YOU HAVE NO IDEA whats involved so i cant expect you to begin to appreciate this form of art. FYI, case you didnt notice finisher is not my name but the name of a mod i created by myself and take great pride in. I am magnus if you didnt see my sig, i know its pretty hard to see. I provided 3 other options AS STATED IN THE OPS, there are also froyo 2.2 and one for baked as well. YOu should consider reading a bit more carefully before posting all willy nilly; EVERYTHING short of your opinion is completely unfounded and/or JUST wrong and shows that you lack the dedication to read ops for w/e reason. Also i am an artist that uses many mediums;this is just another. Art is obective,even controversial sometimes. Should picasso have quit because pps insulted his work and he himself for creating it? We all have opinions and thanks for sharing yours. If you cared to read ops, rather than just come across as crass you may have helped me create something more appealing to yourself, cared to notice the 5 addl fonts i have on the same page as my rom dls, or took the time to read all the POSITIVE comments i have in my threads. That is fine if you want to come across as negative as you have but just try to get the WHOLE picture before posting like this again. Also, if i was happy flashing other ppls work like yourself i would not do what i do. I am not that type. I appreciate what koni does here. hes awesome. but thats koni's spin on theming. I provide ANOTHER choice. DO WE NEED TWO OF ANY THEMER? thats pretty lame if you ask me, maybe you can take the time to learn and then become a koni clonie. Lemme know how that works out for you, im sure youll have a million dl's your first project. My goal is to provide ANOTHER choice of theme and here im also providing a tut for those that would like froyo but did not want to sacrifice their camcorder like myself. You should think twice before attempting to flame someone who makes regular contributions to the site and/or tries to help others out in any way he can. Obviously you do not know me. Maybe after you put something out youll understand how rude this comment is. Thanks anyway.

thanks alot. its rough in this neck of the woods all sorts of trolls....yes atm; its actually worth nandroiding and checking out cus you dont lose your camcorder or cam and you get froyo and full flash is sick and internet speed is amazing. this is MY take on froyo, since i cant seem to leave a rom the way it is before i flash it. i was actually making this theme for hero over's froyo to be integrated with a froyo release but it was too much. for me i really cut back i thought but to him that was not enough. I tried to make something cool for baked but hey, we all benefit either way! so all is well I wouldve really liked to make it for baked froyo because i like baked roms but it kinda sucked that i spent all that time making it and sitting on it for 3days after i hurried up to get done, only to hear that it was not the right theme for the job. Oh well im not a themer anyway
Ill be starting work on a blue theme very soon though. Im sure anyone who likes my work will like the blue too.....i hope . What rom did you need it for?

Ill be starting work on a blue theme very soon though. Im sure anyone who likes my work will like the blue too.....i hope . What rom did you need it for?

way to much going on doesnt help me improve it. keep in mind you are judging my own personal rom, so i made it for myself and then shared it. then gave a few options of mainav scroller for those that cared to try it. how should i improve it to make it less? my style is different. if i was a minimalist my themes would look boring to me and i would not use it at all so i could not test it. sorry you dont like it. maybe next time

[THEME] [Burst] PlurStarAlpha

I figured I would make a bit more of an official release on this theme since it is coming along nicely. Still a work in progress but just a little somethin' somethin' to make Sense a little bit better. Enjoys!
Made for Fresh but can be used on more? I dunno. (Willing to make more compatible, just ask.)
***Do Nandroid Backup Before Flashing!***
No need to wipe any caches. Flashing the ZIP will do the work for you.
Use RECOVERY mode to flash ZIP file then REBOOT.
[Burst] PlurStarAlpha

Includes:
Custom Notification bar Icons (Did I miss some you use that I don't? Holla at me!)
Mods By Barnacles (Modded framework for smooth animations in the notification bar. Notice on the second pic the battery has a 99 on it... goes thorugh each percentages.)
Some images from the DarkStar theme. Thanks to those guys for the inspiration long ago!
Custom window animations (flip) by Stale Bread (Awesome! +1)
Custom HTC_IME thanks to Jonasl and gIMpSTa
New font (!!!! omg he changed it?!!)
Custom Rosie (clear bottom bar)
Work in progress:
Dialer (Normally it is ok but in-call is still not right)
Modded MMS (Black menu, White text) <--- Also anything else that is black text on white background
Modded Rosie (Remap of Buttons)
Prolly gonna bring the Rosie project out into the Dev forum since some of that is beyond my knowledge base.
Weeee!!!! But first, TUBING!
Fine Print: It is usually best to flash themes over a stock look so that the themes don't get mixed up. This theme is made to be flashed over a stock sense look being that it mods only a small number of apk's.

Wow! For some reason this theme makes Evo Fresh Rom Quick and smooth. So far this is one of the best theme that make a Rom smooth
excellent theme. Love the minimal look to the ui, especially the all black items and the different animations for screen changes.
WTB Gator Boots FroYo update.
Hey Burst - you got the wallpaper you can post?

Is this supposed to work on froyo and the newest version of fresh, because it does not work when flashed for me? Looks promising though
Error Wrong digest:

Does this need to be signed or something?

Same error on my device, Fresh 3.1.0.2.
Whattt?!
ill look into that when I have some time after work. it is signed. hmmmm
Working great on baked snack 1.5 kernel #5, but i am getting a FC when trying to change my input method to HTC_IME keyboard... I didn't check before flashing this, but maybe it is not included in BS1.5.
I know you said the install modify's a few apks, and if it wasnt installed before i flashed this theme, i believe i've found the culprit.
do you think you can post the IME keyboard apk so I can test this out?
My battery life is depleting fast. Anyone else?
yea, I seem to be having this issue as well. Not sure why.
Yeah I kinda noticed this as well. Although my time left is still about the same at 18 hours on heavy usage. For me it took a bit to get used to seeing every percentage. Still doing some testing though. What kernel are yall using?

Just wondering if this theme is working with Fresh 3.1.0.2 yet? Really want to try this theme out.
BOOMSICK!
I'm Loving this theme after using for a couple days. I don't think this Theme is getting the props it deserves. Its minimal, sleek and The new animations are REALLY WICKED when you set spare parts to Window Animations = Normal/Fast and Transition Speed = Fast, this thing feels like it should be android 2.3 lol
I know alot of people use Fresh ROM, but please do not replace this version with one that is compatible with both cuz it may not work for us non-Fresh users. I will be willing to test any upcoming builds for you, OP, just let me know.
Just wondering here, what other themes have these animations? any?
Wow! Thanks major for the kind words. It is bad ass isnt it.
Others waiting to be made, some need to be redone first but more on the way for sure. It is just hard to juggle time between work, school, girlfriend, beers, jager bombs, dancing, deving, sleeping, eating, banging, some more jager bombs, and eventually theming. Not to mention I have to constantly avoid TJDucketts' hate stick.
Did I mention I like to party?
I would be at it HARD today but it is my bday soooooooo...... going to test drive my birthday present to myself.
This weekend I promise updates. (I hope)

Why am I randomly mentioned in probably the most fake-assed, lol worthy post I've EVER seen on this board?
I'm legit at work, and just laughed so hard that people across the building heard... and for this, I must say... thank you. I feel like MY birthday just came early.. I mean seriously, who tries that hard to convince online strangers of a lifestyle. God, this was good.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
Hey man! Glad you got a laugh out of it! Since you are always on my **** you can see already that I usually A) Try to be funny, B) Try to be helpful, and C) Try to be an asshole. Glad we are becoming such good friends!
Should we hug now?

I think you should look up "on a ****" because I think namedropping someone in a thread they haven't even posted in falls under that.
Glad u could take a break from the 20 things that you're not doing irl to post that tho.

Bluetopia port (Theme Request)

So as we all love the roms in this forum I stumble upon this rom set. I would like to see these ported to our Dinc phones as I think the themes absolutely kick ass. I like them both however I would love to see the Bluetopia ported. Here is the link to check out what I am talking about. I fsomeone can do this a considerable donation would be coming from myself. Although I am sure donations would come from many on this one.

Porting the rom would be ridiculous, especially considering some of it is broken and would be too much work making it functional for the incredible. If it is just the theme you want, that's easy to pull, but I'm downloading it right now to take a look at it.
That is correct. I would like that theme. but I would like to see it cooked into a rom you know. Please let me kow once you have looked at it. Cheers...

Whether it is just ported over as a theme to be flashed/metamorphed or its "cooked" into a rom, it is the same. a flashable theme is much more convenient, since you are only replacing files in your current system, as opposed to wiping and starting over just to gain different aesthetics in the same exact rom, and having to go through the annoying process of setting back up again for basically nothing. Right now, I am about to try it on SR 3.3.3 and see how it goes, then in Desire Z rom. If all goes well, I'll post it in the themes section and let you know, otherwise I will post failure here and let you know if it isn't working lol.
Well for the most part, in SR 3.3.3 it seemed to work. Everything functioned and almost all of the theme elements were there. But it was definitely incomplete. For one, most incredible roms incorporate smooth sense icons. The theme does not have this since it is from the desire, so that creates an issue because only 5 of the 100 battery icons were themed lol. same with the sync icon. For some reason the signal bars did not change even though I ported the com.htc.resources also. I think a couple system apps did not theme (People app for sure, not sure what others) and the dockbar was espresso style but did not have the themes color. I'm sure there were other missing elements but as it stands, this will become too much work for me to correct, especially since more people will want it on different roms, which means porting and troubleshooting those as well.
Thanks for your attempt. If I may ask one request can you please post the Expresso bar and lockscreen with the black clock in an update.zip form. Those are the 3 elements that i would really like to have. I appreciate it once again.
Cheers,
Shokouhi

[Q] Created Themes

I was wondering about "theme" based themes? lol Like video game themes, car themes and what not? I had some really bad ass themes on my old blackberry bold. Does anyone on here make custom custome themes like this?
wish i knew
By using an app like adw launcher you can theme your home screens easily. You can even them your apps, but not as far. There are several themes you can dl from the market, but adw also allows you to custom pick your home screen icons. Here are two that I made using adw launcher. Very easy and you don't have to be rooted to use it. Works on stock phones as well
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Go launcher ex is free and lets you also theme your device. Very easily.
I am doing a total customized rom for my personal inspire. how do i go about changing the color of the text and icons in the task bar.. I know in cm I could do that when I had a hd2.. is there a way to do it on my inspire?

uot kitchen. Gotta add though if you're doing a total customized ROM and you don't know how to change text and icon colors I get this feeling themeing is gonna be a nightmare for you...I mean its already a nightmare for some of the established themers (ashies for one)..good luck man! tis a tough rough you're going down. Get familiar with the kitchen, simply one of the best theme tools out there to start with.
I am learning alot everyday I learn fast.. but some days things just escape my mind..

I didn't mean any disrespect or anything..I just wanted to give you the small advice I have for themeing. It's tedious, time consumer and frustrating but in the end to have something the way you want it is worth every second of it. I gave up a while ago after I made my first theme, especially with how some of the ROMs push out new updates and base changes, it just became way to difficult to do it. I wish you luck man, its a roller coaster of emotions! But you should still get comfortable with the kitchen as it does a good amount of work for you starting off..
You can look in Inspire 4G Android Development thread.
Most roms using custom themes with different variants.
