Many of you have been very generous, so I'd like to get some input on what you guys want me to work on next...
I'm not really to excited about porting other peoples work... but if you guys really want something, i can.
To-Do
CM6 Red Theme - framework
-Themed apps, stock icons-Themed apps, themed icons
Make more red sense icons
sense sucks(except for some of the widgets) so dont worry about doing anything w/ sense...as much red as we can get for cm6 would be great...i would try to do some stuff w/ the status bar like changing the 3g/wifi icons, the time, also i like that battery icon that was on your other red customization (the circular red one)...just a few suggestions, i will try to think of some more...thanks dude, your stuff is badass!
I'd like to see red or maybe even yellow for the sky raider rom. I actually like sense just don't like how the launcher looks on it. Anything would be appreciated though. Thanks for the themes and keep up the good work

You Rock!
jb you are theming everything. I want to thank you for everything. What about putting together a sense 2.2 theme (red)?

I'm kinda leaning toward theming that Rom... 2.2 with sense is pretty nice, plus I don't see issues with cm6 getting fixed anytime soon. Im so torn between the two roms, cm has trackball wake and customization for long pressing the home button but the new 2.2 rom has internal storage and may have a working camera soon.
I should've put a little more thought into that poll... opinions anyone?
I think you should work on the most functional roms first. That way your time won't go to waste, you'd be theming a Rom that no ones going to be using. Thinking you should really go with sky raider for now.
And I agree about the launcher on sense its the main reason I don't use sense ui. Wait till a real stable cm 6 comes out then make a bada** theme for it.. ill get your kid some nice power rangers if u do!
Thanks for your hard work, Great themes!
Definitely Blue/Red for CM 6.
I think as the bugs are worked out over the next couple (few?) weeks, a lot of people will be moving over to Cyanogen.
Also, thanks for your hard work.
DarchDroid
I would love a DarchDroid like theme, black/silver.
How about a pink or purple theme, similar to your red/blue themes?
My room?
I'll be getting CM6 as soon as the bugs are worked out and it would be great to have a red theme for that.
+1 to red CM6...Cyanogenmod's gonna be HOTTT!! Verizon made the highlights red, so its only fitting...Dark status bar with a transparent window!
Sorry for my absence, I am finally feeling healthy. Looks like it's gonna be red for CM-6. I'm starting a to-do list on the op so i can prioritize, so if you want any of those custom icons please remind me...
I recall that someone asked about handcent and pandora...
Also, I need three testers who can thoroughly test these cm themes... I need people who have great attention to detail and a lot of time. PM me if you can meet those qualifications.
Cm red theme is coming along nicely....

What are the chances you could package a red themed NexusMod live wallpaper with your red theme? In particular the wallpaper from the droid. That would be sick, and I can't find the damn wallpaper anyway.
Yeah id like neural network too. Or maybe ask koush to port it? He's the one that got the nexus wallpaper working on the Droid months ago, it never loaded until he came along.
My girlfriend would freak if you could make an all purple theme and I told her I would but it wouldn't get done until the next major android update comes out. She saw this thread and begged me to post to ask you. Thanks.

Chances are slim, unless you can get me the source code for it... then i may be able to hack it, but that would take me forever since i have no skills
Of course, if you use CM roms nexus mod is included.

I'd just like to point out that you have excellent taste in music.
So as all of you may know i had some complications with a recent back surgery and have not been able to do much of anything...well I'M BACK!!! and i want to be better than ever!!! I have created a senseless base 2.2 that works really really well now i just want to jazz it up a bit...i have 2 options i am considering...purple/green blend or a straight red theme...
I know there are tons of different red...purple...etc themes out there but im looking to start from the ground up with this...right now i just dont have the energy to sit and mod files for 10 hours a day...especially the .9's so if you want to be part of the next big thing please reply here maybe we can get a team of themers to get in on this to create a superfantasical theme!!!
What would it take to be a themer... I'm detailed in all I do... OCD...
dependent on time, i can help out. I am pretty good with photoshop/gimp. also did some .9's although those are more of a PITA.

Looking towards red carbonfiber...non sense

So I am running the MIUI Rom and loving it but I have a question that hopefully one of you can answer. I tend to gravitate towards red themes and found a theme that I love called NeonRT. Problem is, there is a language issue in a specific app, and unfortunately it is Gmail. The body of the messages are in some rubbish. Now I realize there may be nothing one can do but does anyone know how to fix this at a programming level. I am decent with PCs but know squat about programming. Any help or advice is appreciated, Thanks!
And if anyone knows of another red theme out there, feel free to throw it up. I did find a theme called Red Crystal but prefer the icons and general layout of the NeonRT theme much better. Again, thanks and take care.
i have ran the neonBT GT and RT and finally stuck with the bleu one, but Gmail works great on all of them.
Your right they are nice looking...the crystal one is just to plain for my liking.
Bit I'm sure you could find different icons in a icon pack and use a different launcher. Like I'm on infused and running adw launcher ex and have the zoo York red icon pack but then have a theme foe the rom and can change just the icon instead of the whole theme but I don't know anything about miui at all so i don't know how it all works with it.

Is it just Verizon that sees the need to theme their Samsung devices in terrible colors? The Droid Charge poop brown is ugly, especially with the new buttons that don't match. Not to mention TW3.0 just really isn't good looking overall. Now I've just seen a bunch of screenshots of the Stratosphere in the Engadget review, and the theme is a hideous olive/throw up green. Why? I sold a GS4G on T-Mobile the other day, loaded with 2.3 from the factory and it was a perfectly nice gray/blue theme. Why does Verizon have to punish their Samsung/LTE followers?
I would suggest that they devote few resources to theming, and that themes are generally chosen that are usable with decent contrast so that text is readable.
I just flashed the red Charged theme on stock/deodexed EP4D.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382949
If you like red, its badass.
Check the Themes and Apps forum for more goodness.
The major problem is that most users don't care as much about the theming and rooting as people on forums like this do. Usability is what they are after most of all. The brown works. Whether you like it or not, its bearable. But, if you really hate it: change it.
As another suggestion: There is an awesome Black and Blue theme on here that is amazing, and probably is the closest to the blue and grey theme you mentioned.
CoreDroid and "Black and Blue" are probably the two best third-party themes for the Droid Charge. Both of them are not gaudy, not over the top, etc. They do just enough changes to the interface to make it look good without changing too many things about the UI.
I used CoreDroid for some time and recently switched to "Black and Blue".
I've considered changing to the black and blue theme, I love the screenshots. However while I'm not a total noob, I have no idea how to deodex a rom, or even what that actually does.
I also beg to differ about the brown being easy to read. After the update, if you pull down the notification menu you'll notice that at least text messages are previewed in a nice shade of grey that you can barely read on top of the brown. Literally can barely see it.
I'm glad Verizon tried to change the theme, but really they didn't do any good at all. At least the brown and orange buttons matched the whole rest of the theme and you could read the notifications.

Just back up your phone with CWM 4.0.1.4 or prepare for reloading your phone. I used to be afraid of flashing frequently because I didn't have a quick way to get up and running with the large number of apps. Now I use the batch restore on Titanium Backup. Contacts are backed up on Google.
I would flash a ROM according to the instructions in its Original Post, then just flash a theme. I like Charged (red theme) quite a bit. You should know fairly quickly if it worked properly. Then just sign into Google, restore some apps, and you should good to go.
I've successfully restored from CWM backups, which is definitely nice if you just want to try a ROM or theme out and something gets borked. Its nice as well when you normally change a bunch of stuff with your phone's setup (animations and sound at bootup and shutdown are the first to go on my phone!)
They have poo fetishes. Nuff said.

Well, darker colors use less power so I guess that's a reason for their poor theme choices... but whatever. It never really bothered me as much as it seemed to bother everyone else on these forums.
Honestly, the biggest complaint i hear about this phone nowadays is the color... really? thats what you feel the need to complain about?

It's easily remedied with a theme, but still. The stock colors are pretty unacceptable.
But the poo colors are far from our biggest problems...

lololol j/k I kid... I do have a few complaints about the Charge but keep them to myself as we don't need more of that here, though I agree with kvswim that most are easily remedied (except for RIL source for CM7/CM9/ICS )

I love this theme! Great work again Bill. Here's a screenshot of it in action(with a different wp). I would like to request a different look for the vibrate/silent icon, it looks out of place.
you're right..it does.. guess i missed one. i'll run back through it again and make a quick update. Nice looking out. And glad you like it.
Great work as always Bill, looks fantastic. Thanks for all you do!
Not trying to be ocd or anything, but I noticed on the clock/weather widget the top of some letters for day/month are cut off. Not a big deal to me, just thought you should know. Thanks again for your great work.
That one I did catch, but I like the look of the clock with the larger panels more than I do the day and month. On another note, after tip toeing through the theme, several things caught my eye that I thought could be better..so, putting something new out in just a little bit..sometimEd you have to step away from it..after looking at thousands of graphics, you trend to miss things.

Okay gang, made a few adjustments to the theme, so the OP link has been updated with the new version. The only changes were cosmetic. I fixed a few things and decided that I had used the same buttons on the last 2 themes, so I changed them and the pop up windows a bit. And, reluctantly, adjusted the clock panels. A few other minor things were altered as well. Anyhoo, I hope you like it. And thank you.
Quiet today..can I assume that everything is working well, and everyone is happy with the theme?
Everything's working perfect for me. Its my favorite do far. Thanks for all the hard work.

Here are a few test splash screens - let me know if you like these or want something different.
NST_American_Metal_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Masika_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Challenger_-_PC36IMG.zip
To use these splash screens:
1.) download to root of your sd card,
2.) change name to "PC36IMG" (without the quotes),
3.) boot into boot loader (turn off, volume down + power)
4.) The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update
5.) select up to apply.
Man kfunk, your are so damn SICK! I love the way toy warped the flag in the first one. You're awesome.
Good looking theme bill and just in time for the 4th of July (lol)

Is anyone else having issues with the notification pull down? Mine will not work most of the time. It was fine for the first day, then it just stopped working. I also had a few twitches where the clock app would open up as if I touched the widget, the phone screen had not been touched for several minutes before it happened. I currently run OTA rls5 w/chopsuey, a2sd and at that time V6. I have rebooted, without luck, then used GW's wipeall, reflashed fresh downloads of rls5/chopsuey/a2sd and American Metal. Still can't pull down the notification bar. I can access by using menu/notifications, but that's it. I have not added any apps or changed anything since flashing this theme, and came from using CIWYW.
Wow...no I've never had that issue...but I will flash back to stock and try to recreate it to see if I can find the issue. Sorry that's happening to you.
Don't be sorry, I still love this theme. The best way I can explain it is, its like the touchscreen feature doesn't work, but only in the notification bar, the rest of my homescreen works fine. Thanks for looking into it, like I said, it didn't start right away, took about 24 hours for first problem to show up. Not even sure its the theme, that's why I reflashed everything just in case.
dude this is awsome, been using it since the relase no prb what so ever... great work.
can't wait to see what you cook up next... and your splash screens are awsome aswell
thanks for the great work.
