Hello,
I am curious about some themes that I found very slick from Android-themes.net
I was wondering if I'm running CM6 on the incredible, can I use these themes, or do they have to be specifically tuned for the incredible?
That Deadmau5 theme is SICK!
Hey Forums,
Im pretty new and i just recently visited the sprint store and checked out the new Samsung Epic 4g. Its pretty amazing and the UI Is amazing.
My question being is there anyway or anyone who could port a Samsung Galaxy S or the Epic .. or really any of the Samsung Phones ROM over to the CDMA Hero? If so it would be greatly appreciated.

If all you want is the launcher UI then a simple search will give you Touchwiz.
This is in no way uniform or a theme, but it is the Touchwiz User Interface Launcher, and as such should give you at least a taste of your Galaxy S craving.
There's also a few slight S based themes here and there. But I doubt you will see a Samsung rom ported to our phones, unless someone that truly likes it, much like yourself, decides to make it happen.
Hope that helps.
I made my own sort of Galaxy S theme. There are as smoothtaste said there are a few themes floating around here. I downloaded them all and made one from them using jaybob's BlackMod as a base. I would share but I did not include the boot animation, or the Galaxy S status bar. Below is a link to a Galaxy S launcher Pro theme, a good one too!

I have puzzle pieces for answering the phone too
The status bar Icons were Galaxy S but I changed them...
is there an actual theme for aospMod?

This is the theme that got me hooked on Galaxy S look. I had trouble flashing the rom/theme though, it would never let me do the google set up from a clean install Thats why I set out to create my own. I merged parts of all there Galaxy S themes out there, then made my own status bar Yours I used the dark blue and puzzle pieces Thanks
swishersweedz420, would you mind posting just the flashable theme, without it merged into a rom? TY
Yeah I would love a exact port because I agree and think the touchwiz ui and lockscren and all

I mainly like ics but it is too dark and not hapy like gingerbread. gbread is bright and happy looking if we could change that ics would be a whole lot better

Is Dark, but beautiful, it's simple, and follow a line. in GB, everything was coloful, but weird. I liked a lot more ICS than GB.
ics is nice but wouldent you like a little more color in it
Nope. Even my wallpapers black n' blue
What actually annoys me is how some of the stock icons/apps are brightly coloured (people, messages, etc).
I kind of agree I've played with ICS and like the feel of GB better, maybe it's because I am so used to GB and have not gotten used to ICS. But its darker and more mysterious I do kind of like that. But bright and happy wallpapers don't really fit the dark ominous blue theme of ICS
I just don't like the shade of blue they used, it seems overused.

Personally I think ICS looks terrible. Its ripped off from old 80's sci-movie computer panels. I mean, I love Tron, its brilliant, but doesnt work so well on a device when you have seen something like MiUI bring out the best in Android. Now that looks stylish and professional. Where ICS looks like its supposed to appeal to geeks and teens only. I am a certified geek, but I just cant get to liking the looks of ICS

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm glad i'm not the only one that feels this way. Sometimes with Android it's like you get a peek behind the curtain, and what you see is a Smartphone OS that's made by tweens, for tweens.
Yes, the Googlers are some of the most able people in the tech world, but sometimes it feels like they lack maturity. Certain aspects of their work needs more thought, more polish. Everything is 95% there and then left incomplete, as if in a fit of ADHD they moved on to the next project and forgot all about the previous one.
I think it's the usual paradigm. Coders do not make good Designers. What i'd like to see is a universal Theme Engine included in the OS itself. Much like the T-Mobile one included in CM7, but created by Google. Every device, whether Vanilla Android, or OEM Skinned, should come with a selection of Themes that work with that common engine. Sense/Touchwiz/Vanilla would all just be Themes for users to choose between.
Of course, Google half-arsed it again and didn't even consider Theme support when creating Android. Even Windows Mobile had Theme support going way back. It even had a Selection Pane for choosing between them. Why is technology going backwards in this regard?
Beauty of Android, don't like the look, change it

I actually LOVE the new look. Its simple,elegant,consistent and much more polished. IMO the whole Android experience/"feel" had been revamped to the better , lets hope OEMs dont mess this up with their skins.
Plus is uses less battery on the Amoled displays, because of all the black!
I like it a lot, but I must say that my phone looks the rather the same as before, and Samsung allready used a lot of black for their own TW skin (think because of the Amoled display)
It's worth noting that the Galaxy nexus is the only device that will see the Holo theme. All the others will be skinned in the normal manufacturer colour schemes.
And i never thought i'd see the day when i would say that's a good thing!

Although Android did publish a design website to help developers/designers follow the new Holo theme that ICS brought along. They are also encouriging OEMs to follow these guidlines when designing all those skins, so that Android would mantain a certain touch and feel throughout different devices!
Personally Id love to see that happen. Diversity is a great thing, but I do think certain UI elements need to look the same across all devices. But then again , Android is open source and OEMs can choose not to follow anything and come up with a whole new UI .
I love the new look, i like dark styles anyway, and i think it looks really smart and like some have already said, change it if you dont like it
i like ics because it gives a lot of a abstract feel and the dark tone feels like it save more battery. however a lot of ics theme is blue, i read somewhere that from RED-GREEN-BLUE, the colour tone BLUE uses more battery compare to the rest.

The holo theme is to be used inside of apps to create the consistent feel. It has nothing to with sense, touchwiz etc. When you press a menu button inside of an app, google wants a consistent response with no crazy surprises. When you open an app, it looks the same on all devices no matter what the manufacturer UI is....

Just because they want it, doesn't mean anybody will comply! If you were creating an app would you use your design ideas, or theirs?
i really need to learn how to code and make things for android lol
Gingerbread was dark and dull and boring, ICS is dark, but sexy and clean. Froyo was bright and happy but Froyo is almost obsolete now.
Android in the pre-ICS era was inconsistent and all over the place, design-wise. It was about time it looked like a "whole" OS and not something 100 different people quickly put together.

Anyone knows any super blue and flashy themes for Cyanogenmod that themes nearly everything? Right now i am using 5UBZ3R0 theme, it's awesome but not flashy enough for my tastes. I tried cobalt too, not flashy enough. I also tried Jellyblue X2, pretty flashy, but not enough. Also tried Extreme Jelly Blue, not even close to flashy enough. MOAR!
hm
links?
