Updated 08.19.10 Requires root.
New themes will be added at the bottom of post 2.
I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes. I have been busy for a bit but am back to update this ish.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that contributed in the past, present and future.
If I miss anything or if you would like yours added to the list let me know Im sure its incomplete.

Fixed I think... thanks
Thank you so much for this effort.

I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. I think anything that is posted here should be within the copyleft idea. Google it if you're not sure what that is. If you upload something and want to be proprietary about it, make it very clear. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that in the present and in advance.
To anyone uploading themes: Depending on the file size you can upload it as an attachment in your post. Please use this method as places like 4shared and mediafire have limits, etc. Also I figure the easiest standardization of format would be fully rebuilt apks placed in a folder andthe folder zipped. My plan is to make an app that will automate the process of changing themes and I think this way would be the easiest for the end user and the easiest for me to build an app .
BTW if anyone wants to help build the app with me I would really appreciate it as I am still really new to programming.

Thanks gavriel18! I know about zero java - only visual basic at the moment. I could start learning it though...
How do you add these themes to your phone just replace the files or something more in-depth? And I assume backing up what you replace first and also through adb?

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone . Please also thank the people making these themes, it's a tedious task... but worth it.
@HunteronX Let's make learning android a group effort. We have some good mentors on this forum and two heads are always better than one
great thread, to keep it's value keep it up to date, and dated
This thread is really nice ... i got one question though ...
Whats with custom themes and updates? especially when i skin something like Timescape/Mediascape ...
if i use one of the themes here (ok i am already using one ), dont i risk that i overwrite an "updated" file with an old one?
especially if i use some very new firmware like R2BA026
thx in advance for your help guys

no i dont believe it effects the application except for the new theme effect, as only the framework folders are being modified not the source code, hope this helps
THEMES ARE IN POST 10 ON THIS PAGE
In the UOT Kitchen it shows we can now change our window animations. I have tried and tried cooking files with no success. I had some spare time today and did a little searching and found THIS thread that shows how do change them without using the kitchen. I chose "Flip" and I dont notice any bogging down from them, its the same as before. Really cool looking too!
Copy N Paste from OP
Below are four new android UI animations created by Stale Bread, these will change how things popup and show on screen.
There are two ways to apply new animations first is Metamorph and second is to manualy copy new animations to your android phone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqrBF0TE3Qk
End Copy N Paste
I tried the Metamorph method and got FC all over the place, had I rebooted recovery and wiped Dalvik this may not have been the issue. What I did instead was open my themes framework and delete the anim file and replace with the animations I chose, Flip. Rebooted recovery and reflashed my theme and then wiped Dalvik cache, I am using firerats so I had to reboot recovery again to flash FR-boot but all is well FC's are gone and I have new animations!
There all also videos in the original OP to help you select what you like best...

I dont see any reason it wouldnt work. AOSP removes quite a few of the regular animations but by doing this MOD you are just replacing them with different ones.
EDIT....
You have me curious now lol. I will try it on aosp 9.9.1 in the morning Maybe even a different one like the "Fly"
Are they actually smooth on the hero?

Just tryed it on AOSP 0.9.9.1 and no go on the animations. However, it is nice to know that even with UOT Kitchen not having the AOSP rom posted in their system as one that works with the kitchen, I was able to get a battery and bootanimation to work.
The site does state that the animations are for the Desire Sense rom Only.
Now, that being said, I have opened the framework on the downloaded UOT package. I personally do not know what I am looking at but if someone wants to take a look at it and see if it can be modified to work with AOSP, that would be great.
Happy Holidays
It won't work using the kitchen for sure, least it hasn't for me. Did you try using the link in my OP? It shows how to replace with Metamorph, what I did was open the file from the kitchen with 7zip, open framework, open the folder named res and scroll down and deleted the whole folder named anim. I then opened the animation I downloaded the same way using 7zip and did a drag and drop of the file called anim, taking the animations and putting them in kitchen framework. Close that out and put your modified kitchen zip on SD and flash, then before boot wipe dalvik. Should work
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yep, tried that too. However I am not familiar with creating apk files. Something may have gone wrong when I rezipped the framework file.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
They work just fine on AOSP 9.9.1, or any other version for that matter. Somewhere somehow you are doing something wrong. This is NOT done through UOT KITCHEN! HERE is the LINK that shows how to do this with Metamorph. I did not use Metamorph, I edited the framework apk myself. BUT metamorph does the same, just be sure to boot into recovery and WIPE DALVIK cache or you will get tons of FC's. I am posting a theme I use for AOSP (fLiPAOSPTHEMELS7_signed.zip), TwoPointTwo by thoughtlesskyle. It has some Icon changes plus it has the animations called FLIP. Flash, WIPE DALVIK, reboot/reboot recovery and flash firerats boot if you are using his MOD. Takes a few minutes to boot as you wiped Dalvik. This theme is NOT MINE, it is thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme with some Icons I changed via kitchen Check it out
I am slso posting the theme in the screenies. This is flashed over jaybob's BlackMod 6.1 stable build (FLIPinBLUE theme). I am sure it will work over any of his builds, but not so sure about cm6.1 stable. I did not make any of the 2 themes from scratch, they are mixtures of thoughtlesskyle's TwoPointTwo Theme AND hackahero's port of Incognito Remix AospMod 0.9.9.1.
MAKE NANDROIDS No promise of support as new build releases are posted. These things take a couple hours and with so many ROMs it is nearly impossible to support all of them I will keep jaybob's up to date though, as thats the ROM I use daily

Here is where you can modify battery icons and a whole lot more! You must pull framework apk from your rom and use that at the end of kitchen. Do not use framework supplied by them. To get your framework apk, use a program called 7zip, open your rom (not extract) then drag and drop the framework apk to your desktop. Then upload that through the kitchen. The will give you a flashable file, put that on sd card and flash in recovery

Thank you cordell!! Looking into it now between work projects!
Yes I like to use the computers here at work, we are on a T3 and the download speeds can't be beat.
Hey, great site! The UOT Kitchen, this is the first I have heard of or seen it, but I have just come from the WinMo world, hence the ignorance. But Android is a lot easier to pick up on than Win Mo. Once again, thank you so much!

Can you not flash it like I explained to you in the AOSPmod thread? That seems to be the method that works for everyone using the htc hero. Again take rom and remove anim file inside framework apk. Replace with the animations you want. Reflash rom and wipe dalvik before you reboot. If you are using a theme replace anim folder in theme rather than rom.

Hi I currently rooted my device LG OPTIMUS M, and Installede Metamorph, I found a theme I like ALOT !!! and when I try to install the theme this error comes up
the theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is incorrectly written (please contact theme creator)
this is the 1st time I try to apply a theme and I would be greatly thankful if someone could help me I'm sick of this GDE theme I have ... thanks in advanced

Hi,
For a start the thme you are trying to apply is not designed for your phone.
Edit: the reason it is giving you errors is that the theme you are trying to install is a theme that needs to be flashed from recovery. metamorph will only handle files that were designed for iit.

At the bottom of this post you will find a download link to a zip containing all the themes that the sidekick came with.
Some people may be on a custom ROM like Smooth Maximus and dont have the themes, or just removed them and want them back.
This is just so no one has to go through the trouble of downloading a stock ROM the searching through all the system apps to find the themes themselves . So i've decided to package em together for ya.
This is not flashable so you have to unzip them and use a root file manager (root explorer, super manager ect.) and push them to System/app. You Need to be rooted or it wont push the apps.

this is great ill push them through with the ginger clone!

I can easily change the wallpaper with Android wallpaper options, but the color schemes can be difficult to read with some color combos (like black text on dark green background).
Thanks for posting these!
I'm excited to download it once they're uploaded. My phone is so lost without the themes.
Hey i pulled these directly from ayoteddy's stock deodexed rom. All you have to do is push them to your system apps directory and restart your phone. Tested on my phone.

As for customizing im not sure but i think you can use apk tools to decompile edit and recompile the apk just make sure you have the sidekicks framework installed into apk tools also you may need to sign it im not sure i havent tried it yet
