I know currently that animated pics dont work on the android os, or does it? They have to to an extent for the face that the second boot pic is animated with the lil android dude or if u got 1.5 the android text. my old razr v2 didnt allow this either until someone was able to make a theme with a animated pic embedded as the bg. has anyone been looking into this.
Idk but this would be really nice to have though...
Animated Radar images on i.wund.com (weatherunderground.com's iPhone site) don't seem to work either.
This is a big deal for me since I am a frustrated wanna be meteorologist.

There are animated buttons in the calculator application. I'd would check that code to see what's making that work and see if there is anyway to make it work anywhere else... if there is a will, there will be a way.

Nice.
There is also an animated boot screen, guess it is a gif but I don't know...
um I know that theDUDE and im sure others have changed the ANDROID on cupcake... v1.5. One flashes across a different text and it has a fire effect through the letters... im sure their are some constraints at the moment...
but just thought id throw my 2 cents in.. maybe they had more luck

Dont quote me, but I think that those are just 2 .png files interlaced with each other. Any themer would know better though.
from what i can tell most of the themers that have changed it only changed the color of the background behind the android text. it is a simple .png that has a "shiny" section and it loops the entire image to the right. i am not sure what causes it to move, but i thought i saw someone used fireworks to create a new image. i am sure that if you get the source code from google you can have a look to see what is actually happening
I made the fire for the prodigal port and i changed the whole image for the boot i did for the Dude's Full 1.1a default i also made it faster. There are i cons in parts of the theme that can be made bigger and not affect the theme.
i think this is a deja vu post again. there must be an older one.
the basic answer is that the current widget can only display static images unless you extend it yourself.
Hi people! This is my first thread and I think it gona be quite big.
I hope you will respect my rules:
1) Don't post my works (modifications or separate files) in any place!
2) Don't include my works in any other cabs or ROMs without asking permission
I wanted to post theme today but after CHT 1.8 release I need some time for it's modifying.Moderators, please clean this thread.
Some screens for very clever and funny users who are posting now in this thread
This theme is based on default images (800!) Total glass and several weather changes.
those task/softbars can be made in a single click, since it's one of the preset web styles in photoshop cs4
If you don't enjoy my work, I wouldn't post this theme.
So, it's really better for me, I will use it only myself.....
sylvesta696
make better one, of course if you can
WooW
Look very nice man
Great job ,cant wait to see it
Thanks

I need some time for it's modifying and testing. Because after CHT 1.8 release and new Manila builds there can be some bags.
I will post my theme after first ROMs with Manila 2.5.2014 for HD2
I just recently moved from iOS to Android, and I like it so far but it looks kind of... cheap. I'm talking about HTC Sense specifically, stock/AOSP Android is well design but albeit dull to some (although I don't agree, I prefer the minimalistic design). Some of it is okay while other parts don't make a whole lot of sense or just look plain amateur. Most of all, I think it's way over exaggerated. I hate looking at the browser bar and seeing a heavily glossed bevel with a near near flat text input and a inset button. Why would a button be even inset?
Anyway, I like some of Sense's additional features, and since Cyanogen isn't stable yet, I'd like to re-design Sense to be more subtle and just better designed. I'm a well established UI/UX designer but always have a lot of work on hand. So if someone who is knowledgeable with the graphic files that make up Sense (preferably in the new Froyo build) and is willing to identify and send the files (preferably in a zip of organized folders so I could just re-design and leave as is which could then be easily turned into a usable update file by someone), I'd get started ASAP.
The EVO is fine as is, but improving the appearance of Sense would go a long way in calming my OCD mind Attached is a quick example of how it would look like. It's the "to" contact bar in the HTC messaging app - the top is default, the bottom is my redesigned version.
My main beefs with the default graphic are:
a. It's too glossy making the outset depth of the bar appear high, problem is that a flat element (the text input box) is laid on top of it thus making it look weird and unnatural. Plus it makes it look like cheap plastic.
b. The button is inset. Why? Have you ever seen a inset button? Maybe once or twice. Looks more like a active selection than a button. the lighting is also off and just plain looks terrible.
c. The corners are rounded, but why? It looks out of place and loses fluidity with the rest of the layout. One thing I noticed is that HTC likes to throw in rounded corners in just about everything they can.
Like I said, this will be a very subtle theme but I think it will help make the stock Sense theme better. So if anyone wants to help identifying the files or knows a known resource (which I doubt since Froyo must have changed things a bit), just PM me.
I second this request. I wish I could help.
I totally agree with you in that the Sense theme needs to be more subtle.
I have always wondered why it has taken so long for someone to come up with this theme.
that would be nice
I like the idea!
Heres what I have so far.
In framework-res, I have included everything I think you will need. You'll have to let me know how much theming you intend to do. ie buttoms/selections (everything with a stock gloss?) or not.
I will continue to dig up more of what you need once I hear how deep you're looking to go. I included the taskbar icons because those will need to be changed to fit whatever the taskbar changes too so they will match. Obviously I have yet to include the signal ones along with 4g, as well as the individual app status bar notifications.
I'll wait to hear back before I progress much further.
Again, very nice looking.
Edit: Updated my post to add more.
I want to fix as much as possible. Anything you send, I'll theme. I'll commit to that.
But at the least, I want to redesign buttons and major UI elements like the example I showed. I definitely would like to redesign selections -- I'm not sure why they are "crystal-like", I much prefer a AOSP-like selection but of course in green for Sense.
I'll look through these and see what I'll do with them.

Ok, don't know if I edited my post before or after this, but I added more to the framework-res folder with an updated zip. It now includes everything from there you should/could need from that particular file. See what you can do with those. I'm not 100% sure if any of the files used in froyo have changed (what gets used in those folders and what doesn't) so bare with me. But for the most part it shouldn't be that difficult to dig up the rest of the important stuff.
I just pulled it now so it should be the latest files.
I just pushed that sense folder to my work server, once something is in there, they get done. I'll update the folder as I get more items.

Alright so this is what I'll do. I'll theme these current files and when I'm done I'll post some previews and then you or someone else who is willing can send a new batch of files. That way it can be done in waves and can be easily managed.
So I'll finish these and post back soon.

Ok, well this has totally got me pumped, so I went through and did more for you. I've included the other files out of ease, so what I have done is labeled all the folders which have new files (new from that one posted above) and added "contains new" at the end. Then within each folder i have created "new" folders for what I have added. That way you don't have to go through and figure out what you have done and whats been added.
This should keep you busy as I'm done for the night. This is a lot of the major stuff though. I will report back with anything else I find later on.
Award Tour, just curious, do you have experience with .9.png's?
Barnacles, I noticed you pulled stuff out of framework-res, did you toss him the stuff from com.htc.resouces.apk too?

Not yet, but I understand them now I think. I noticed immediately that some of the files had to scale somehow and from your post just noticed that those files are the .9 files you speak of. I'll look into it but I'm just gonna assume that they have some sort of meta info in them for now. I'll work on those last so I can read up on the file format.

Yeah they have invisible guides that tell the OS where to stretch the image to suit whatever purpose it needs.
When you open, edit and re-save them the guides disappear so you'll have to redraw them. You will find plenty of info on .9's.
The search bar you did looks much better than Google's version, I'm sure this will end up being a pretty sweet theme
This is no small undertaking or I would jump in on it and help out.
There are tons of people here who are more talented and experienced than I but if you have any questions you're welcome to pm me.
Hey guys. I am up for the night and addicted to flashing **** so let me know if you need a beta tester.
Once you finish what's there feel free to send them back to me and I can throw em back where they need to go and make a morph for the changes to test them out.
ok so are those .zips flashable? any screens of what you have done? it looks nice on the first picture

I only spent like 20 minutes on it today during work but I should do a hour or so more later tonite.
I finished some of the status bar but I was disappointed to see that the background image for a notification item was missing. I still designed it but if anyone knows how I can throw it in sense (maybe a simple file with the right name? maybe check a AOSP build because it should be in there) let me know.
Here it is for those that are interested, I will probably refine it further but this is what I got so far:
The aim, if you haven't already noticed, is to combine stock AOSP Android with a Sense-like look.

Try to send me a new batch as well, I *think* I'll be done with this in a hour. If you can, send me the froyo ones.
A taste- still working on some banding in the images after the resize, once it is fully optimized I'm going to let you guys have it (and it will be finding a home in a custom ROM near you..).

The hard part was getting the bootloader screen no screen cap for that
Me and Sharpe are working on a nice theme for his upcoming ROM release (not spilling the beans I hope Sharpe?? ) so this is a teaser..the theme should work for all versions..this is just the boot animation for it..
Going to release this as a raw bootanimation.zip file here in the OP once I get it just right
Hey luna_c666 , any chance of sharing the bootloader screen ? . I wanna incorporate that into my next boot animation
I have the three bootsplash images but getting them in just the right position on a black background will do my head in lol.

Good job. In the future, you might find it easier to simply create a .gif from all the .png files and put that in your initial post as opposed to a youtube video.

Yeah, this was just a test of one of many versions I made, and I made the vid for someone I am working with in development of a custom ROM, and, I also was asked to show a friend over facebook. The youtube video of my test bootanimtation booting on my own TF solved all three of these demands
Also, since it isn't the final version I didn't want to create a gif for it just yet.
Wanted to bump this, let you guys know that it's coming along, I am trying to optimize the images so they won't band so badly before I release it, but in the meantime I have a teaser of a new theme (and more to come of this theme's variants) for the TF101..I've put a good deal of time into it, so I figured I would share a glimpse or two So far I've skinned the notifications bar, buttons, quick panel and some of the random status bar icons (like micro SD, SD, and HDD icons etc.). More to come!
Hey guys! This is Crutchcorn. This is my very first app! This will be updated as I am terrible at this as of now.
I kept getting sick and tired of not finding any good iOS 7 Icon Packs with the original icons! As this is a VERY new thing for me I have noticed some difficulties with applying the app theme in LauncherPro but my phone is running on 2.3.3 so that might have something to do with it. Please let me know how it works for you! :fingers-crossed: Hope it works!!!!
(Note: If applying a theme doesn't work for you try applying it manually using something like Icon Changer )
Version: 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
(Also noting: If a moderator moves or blocks this could they please PM me! I am VERY new (my first post!) to XDA so please lemme know what I'm doing wrong. No harm intended!)
Also, to be obious I did not make these icons, only made them into an APK. :highfive:
Welll.... This was a long time ago... Anyone want an update at all?

Hey there, you may also want to try to get root on your phone, and to get
Blurred System UI
Flat Styled Color Bar
Flat Style Module
And if you really want to get fancy you can also grab a CM11 ROM and install Flat Style Theme.
There's so much more I could put here, but I don't want to waste anyone's time if they don't want it

If I might say, I've been so bold to extract icons from apk, since I don't have any suitable launchers , but my LG g3 supports editing single icons and applying png files... Seem to me they're a bit on a small size, I'd like them to be like 3 pixels from the edge of the png, not smaller (with more transparent space on each size) ... if that makes sense ... besides that , all icons are "pitch perfect" iOS.
But at this moment , I went with ClickUI / PopUI style ...
anyways, great effort !!

No I know, and if I am to continue development I have very bold plans (to make a 1:1 clone of iOS as much as possible [only better ;D]) with support for many launchers and just a lot more than this. They are a bit small, but I did this in one evening so eh. It totally makes sense. That's cause it's extracted right from iOS firmware. I want to find someone with a rooted iPad Air 2 (so they can send me a pull of EVERYTHING on internal).... If you know anything like that I may consider getting back into developing this...

Oh sweet! Those both work! I could possibly do a bit with iOS 6 stuff as well. Oh jeez... It's been so long and I've sense removed my backups from the device.... I'm not sure but MAY (no promises) be able to get an Apple device for a bit to do a bit of reminding myself. It's okay if you Mini is iOS 6 I suppose... If you'd like I could help you get it onto iOS 7 and then root it, but if that's not an option I fully understand as well. TBH I did this a while ago. I had been part of the jailbreaking world sense iPhone OS 3 and I moved over to Android and gave away my iPod touch right before iOS 7 came out
There are some icons uploaded to deviantart... They are free, and I'm sure if you ask to borrow them the creator will gladly do so... As long as his/her work is acknowledged http://dtafalonso.deviantart.com/gallery/
