**UPDATED** I have decided to upload the theme in its present state(so people may enjoy it while I work on it more). Simply flash the Matrix.zip in CWM, to get rid of it, reflash your rom.zip. I have tested this theme using Infused 1.50 /w Infusion 1.8 and found no usability, stability, or readability problems. As always flash at your own risk.**UPDATED**
Matrix 0.5 Theme for flashing in CWM
In it's present state, the notification bar is partially themed, the dark, and grey popups are rethemed 100%, the system font is tweaked, the bootanimation is changed, download bar, volume bar, new emoticons, "rudolph" style window animations. It is basically 30-45% done, the hard work of hand editing the framework is where the rest of the progress will take place.
This theme is a simple UOT Kitchen file(incomplete theme), but I plan on completing this over the next 6 weeks (preparing for overseas travel right now) and making it into a total theme package that will be a cwm zip.
Theme concept: Solid black background, bright green text and icons, muted green for secondary colors, and inactive text/notifications. Some light theming will be along the lines of the matrix (bootanimation, wallpaper) This would provide battery savings by eliminating white backgrounds where possible, as well as increased contrast.
I am learning how to theme using the resources here on XDA, and can complete this project in my own time on my own, but with additional help the time could be greatly reduced.
I will not be waiting for gingerbread as I need to hone my theme making skills while waiting for it's release. My skills are still growing but I am comfortable editing the framework xml and images. Let me know if you want to help.
**Important Note**For whatever reason, you will manually have to copy bootanimation.zip into system/media for it to function. Also, your ROM must support it.
Download Matrix.zip
go for it dude, id def use your theme. i messed around with uot for a few days & was thinkn about going matrix stlye, but im sure yours will be much more impressive, as i have no theming experience watsoever. i think its pretty cool you offered this...

I dont see the Matrix.zip

This theme looks sick. Anyone flash it yet. If so how is it

Love it. Thank you.

Thanks to above for the downloads, I'm glad your enjoying it. If you like the theme now, just wait until I get more elements themed. The blasted white clock might be a long time coming, but I would rather have it there than remove it to spite it's color. Please be patient for updates, right now I work full time, I own a house by myself, go to college, and presently I am getting ready for my first overseas trip ever in 2 weeks(that's not mentioning the girlfriend or the garden).
I fully respect all the hard work our devs put into the ROMs and esp the Kernel work going on right now, but I just won't put that much time in yet.
My goal is to have this theme as complete as Matted Blues, with significant progress within 6 weeks, most of it towards the end of that time frame.
If anybody who is using this theme has comments or suggestions, I will take them into consideration, as I posted above I would also love to work with a more experienced themer, if anybody likes the direction this is headed.
tried installing, got stuck at installing no update, with no action on the installation bar. i noticed on matted blues he says its for infused rom(s), is this also the case? will this not install on refuse?

stuck
i'm stuck in the installing "update" no movement in the progress bar. been there for about 5 minutes. ideas?
byuboy87 seems to have had the same problem, and then have fixed it himself.
It appears you are coming from Infused. This should load fine by rebooting into recovery, install zip from sd card, choose zip, matrix.zip, confirm, then reboot.
Did you by chance try running update.zip instead of matrix.zip?
Please post whatever information pertinent to the problem you can, I would like to track down where people are having problems installing the theme so I can streamline the process and eliminate problems in my next version.
Just installed and liking so far. One thing did notice...in the pull down notifications when using Andchat i can not read the connection status only the errors. Think the connection status is black on black. Not a big deal but wanted to point it out. Great work by the way.

lol id hate to insult your intelligence by telling you the obvious, so if i am wrong i apologize. i had this problem & it was bcuz i was mistakenly trying to flash bootanimation.zip...stupid... slightly confusing at first, bcuz the .zip downloads are in two diff locations. make sure you actually download matrix.zip lol
message from Sams inFuse running REFUSE 1.6, INFUSION 1.5
any chance this will be reworked to work with infused 2.0(GB)? love all the top icons in the notification bar all green. only thing i would like to change is to have the 5 green bar(strength) but not a big deal.

I don't really know where to post this. I tried searching but there doesn't seem to be any info on this. I'm running Damage 2.08 which originally came w/ the stock black notification bar. However, after flashing that ROM, one of the first things I did was flash a white bar. This was months ago so I can't restore that version from nandroid, it would obviously kill everything on my phone now.
So what I'm looking for is basically a way to remove the white bar that I flashed or a .zip that has the stock black bar that I can flash over the white one.
Thanks,

Just flash the rom zip over it again without wiping. It will basically reset the visual tweaks (including the black bar) without affecting your settings.

For some reason it doesn't work. It hangs on the black HTC screen. That's right after I turn it on. Whenever I see someone's phone hang it's on the white screen - mine doesn't even get that far.
1. Does my A2SD have anything to do w/ it?
2. I tried black themes through Metamorph (old .jar version and new .xml version) and neither work. Both make the phone hang on the black screen.
3. I also have close to 100 apps installed - could that be part of the problem?
I appreciate any help!
I hope you did Nandroid before you made change? If yes, restore from Nandroid. To change back to the stock Black you just need to replace the PNG files in Framwork-Res.apk and push back to the phone.

Yes, I already restored from Nan. As far as pushing the stock PNG: that'll leave me with a black bar, yes, but also I'll have a black clock, wouldn't I?

Try wiping dalvik-cache before reinstalling 2.08, then let it try to boot for 20 min. There might be a conflict that it can't sort through now. That, or just try upgrading to the most recent version of DC (2.09.01), that should reset the visuals too.
In truth, back when I was running Damage I had the same problems (with the hang on black htc screen after every mod ... upgrade to 2.09, metamorph, etc.). I just ended up moving on, and found many roms to be much more stable and expansive in terms of options. If you love Sense, then check out nfinitefx or ZenHeroFX; if you can handle moving to AOSP (for the sake of a HUGE boost in speed), then check out buufed or the CM6 nightlies. DC 2.08 worked very well for when it came out, but there is much bigger and better, so you might wanna consider an upgrade .
Either way, good luck man.

Thank you for the advice my good man! I actually seriously considered running Sense-less (lol) but I kind of like the Facebook/Contacts integration and the nicer camera... I'll give it another go - I never use the Sense Home, I use LauncherPro, so I know I WON'T be missing that..!
HOWEVER
Here would be my 1st question if I decide on AOSP: How do I make the notification bar black like in Sense?!
Although perhaps I could get Metamorph to work properly or that "services.jar" mod where you can change the color might actually work...
I'll give it a go probably tomorrow but if you have any more insight, I'd appreciate it!

As far as the black notification bar goes, I'm running froyo with the blackmod theme, although there is one for darchdroid as well. It includes a themed black bar (as well as a ton of other sick theming features). The camera thing I cant help out on, but the new version of"facebook for android" in the market syncs contacts very well (better than my wifes with facebook sense). Another heads up, if you can find fancy widget on the forums, it looks just like the clock/weather widget everyone knows.
Hope this helps.

OK, I've run into a brick wall. I nan'd just in case (good thing). I wiped my phone. I wiped dalvik chache. I flashed 4 different ROMs because NONE of them load. I gave them all 30 mins of boot-up time. They all go past the black HTC screen, then continue on to the white HTC screen (good sign), then to the logo screen (better sign). However, all the ROMs, after about 20-30 minutes just go into the loop of white HTC screen to logo screen and it just loops.
The ONLY way to get the ROM to load is to remove the SD card. BUT All my apps are on the card. Do I have to wipe the ext partition too? If so, I'm puzzled by A2SD - I thought the whole purpose was to never have to reinstall your apps. So apparently, A2SD seems to be causing this...
You do have to wipe your ext partirion. A2SD is only to save space on the internal memory.

awesome love it, like i was saying in the other topic, if you could just get the icons moreup to date to the actual epic gtalk, market, maps etc.. i would love it so much more. im just reallly ocd on the look of my phone, and i just realllly do not like the current icons even for the cm6 theme, just something about them.
and I know sense is a mess compared to stock android, but what is the chance of getting things like the dialer?
and lastly ( i know lots of q. but I LOVE the epics look) any chance of getting some of the epics sounds, like when you click on something on the epic the clicking sound instead of the evos?
screen shots would be very helpful

if your downloading directly from the evo
4shared for some reason has a problem with the evo
now you can still download it
just change to mobile version and download (might be the other way around and have to be desktop version)
and with that last piece of help i must sleep it's 12:30 AM yawn
if only we could get the best part of the touchwiz interface, the notification panel. this looks pretty nice though, be great for a senseless rom.
Got some boot looping (sense version). I wiped before flashing too. I did download to my computer then I transfered to SD card. Maybe its just my phone....
Very nice work though! Thanks!!! Ill keep my eye on the thread.
When can we expect the cm6 version?

i am actually focusing on the sense version atm but download mrcharlesiv's from his post i am basing mine off of his with few changes
changes being a little further themed
_____________________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
also will have an update later today if not tomorrow with a few changed things
and added a themed dialer and contacts (keeps original dialer also)
added media folder so has ringtones and notifications from epic (optional)
and i'm gonna set it up to remove some apk's like htc music, htc clock, htc lockscreen and mail as they are just duplicates and not needed to have multiple of them
will keep htc gallery as it links with camera
Great work on the theme. I love this when I was on cm6 and missed it when I switched to Fresh. I have a couple of questions though. How would I make the notifications bar clear, when you pull it down? Is ther anyway to get the the battery with the number read out like the cm6 rom?
Is there a way to load this without all the AOSP apps?
yeah the galaxy s notification bar would be amazing, but seems hard, i just would prefer an updated icon pack.

well i did put out an update just now
the app icons are not really changed from what they were (as they are the same as epic with some from the galaxy) and the galaxy s notification bar with the shortcuts is beyond my knowledge so i didn't do that
things changed
removed htc lockscreen (now vanilla lock)
removed htc clock
removed htc deskclock
removed htc Music
removed Mail (still have Email though)
removed htc contacts (People)
kept Htc Gallery as it links to camera
added epic4g themed dialer/contacts
added media as requested (from epic 4g system dump)
changed a few icons but almost all are the same
and i think thats all hope i didn't leave anything out
EDIT: looking into putting the Stock Android Browser in it +themed (i Can NOT stand the sense browser) -ACCOMPLISHED
EDIT2: apperently i can only get the contacts and dialer to show up if i flash something else first then flash this over it so i'm kinda stumped so i'm trying to get that fixed up
I HATE ISSUES LIKE THIS!
they do work but have to be installed differantly (contacts and phone)
_________________________________________________
CM6 release is gonna push back a little as flashing it causes battery to display as just a question mark battery on nightly 9/7
i was wondering, say i apply the all theme and you have an update later, can i just flash the update over the current one? or will doing that mess it up?
also i tried flashing the theme over fresh's new 2.2 rom and no go. just keeps cycling at the fresh evo boot screen

alright i have at least the theme and media out now for OTA but flashing apps causes boot-loop
and i have been on cyanogenmod recently so i did not follow sense Roms and was unaware that an OTA was released
i have several problems in the theme that i have separate fixes for but i am hoping to get it incorporated into the actual theme later on
and now that there is an ota i will focus on that rather then the older one but will at least fix it when i have time
and with this update on progress i'm gonna take a break for a while
Looking really nice. I was wondering, is it possible to just pull the App drawer from the Epic4G/Galaxy S to replace the one in Sense? I like the horizontal scrolling for apps, but would like to stick to Sense for everything else. What do ya think?
so i just checked theme chooser in bulletproof 1.1 and noticed all of my cm7 themes i restored from mybackup root were there as well,
so i applied one as a test, and it worked!! it skinned the statusbar and the icons!!

I can't thank you - because I ran out for the day, but i'm going to post a link to this in my thread.
You just probably solved the issue of adding additional themes to my ROM that I was unsure of how to do - if you still have all the stock themes from T-Mo/HTC as well.
Do you?
If so - you are the man!
I still do, when I set the new theme the icons you changed take a reboot to take effect, and of course htc bits don't get skinned but its a start!
when you set a theme when you go back to theme chooser it forcecloses a few times. but i was able to set a few different themes =]

Fantastic - I linked to this post from my ROM thread.
Looks like you cracked the nut open, and now it's time to sort the tasty bits from the shells.
I really appreciate you posting this find - keep us updated on what you come up with.
I'm going to spend a little time cleaning up the GPS thread I got going in dev, then jump back to Bulletproof - you've motivated me to do more work on the graphics/themes now instead of waiting.
Since it seems everyone is pretty stable on 1.1, i'll take this rest period to spend some more time graphically cleaning things up and see what I can do to get more themes added to the ROM.
I am certainly going to make a few more lockrings today - I have made and tested some using different shapes besides the ring and they work out well without problems.
I'll bang out some of those rings, then slide right into working on themes and probably cruise that avenue of development until sunrise.
I actually have to go out in the world and do some stuff tomorrow, but you've got me really excited and motivated.
If you clear cache and dalvik-cache before trying to load themes, you'll suffer less force closes on the theme chooser - let me right now make you a flashable zip i'll attach to this thread to uninstall and re-install the theme chooser and clear caches for you.
If you flash that after the new themes are on the device, it should reset the theme chooser and prevent the force closes - give me ten mins or so and i'll have it up here for you.
Dude - when I get my thanks button back you're getting some!
Edit:
Looks like I have the themes mod still up on my host for when I added the stock themes back in to the ROM when people wanted them before 1.1 - just flash this and it should solve your theme chooser problems.
Make a nandroid first - but let me know how this works for you.

I flashed the zip. When i open theme chooser all the previews are blank. I figure this is because since they were not built to preview the themes. After applying a regular mytouch theme all the previews are there. It seems like the gesture of sliding through the previews makes them forceclose oddly enough. Sliding slowly produces no forcecloses. And when using a system theme, fast slides work fine. Im guessing there are effects missing in the cm7 themes present in htc themes

Okay - good to know and thanks for the information.
We're kinda wandering through uncharted territory as far as my knowledge base goes - while some more veteran devs may be able to handle this off the top of their head to me it's all new.
All the little tidbits of info you are providing is helping a ton - I don't have a copy of CM7 for this device, so to download it now would knock me offline.
I am, however, running CM7 on my Nook Color, which is sitting right here, so now that i've got the GPS thread handled i'm gonna see about pulling some stuff from it and getting a start on this.
I am flashing a fresh copy of 1.1 to my dev phone as I type this.
I will not be including any CM7 themes in my Bulletproof release without direct permission from them. I've asked and received permission to use some of their work in the past - which never came about because it was when I was going to take over CK23's ROM. That obviously didn't go anywhere so neither did the need to use some of their work then.
They are great people and the only request they made was to give them credit for the works of theirs I used. That being something that's important to me - as seen in my ROM thread - I don't see it being a problem to use their themes...
... but not without asking, and if they decide they do not want me to use their themes in my ROM it's not gonna happen... and no hard feelings if they say no - for all they've done for the dev community the least the rest of us can do is respect their wishes.
For the time being, i'll be using their themes to test some stuff out and see how it all works - but again, any public release is dependent upon their permission. With the attention that whole team is putting to ICS I don't expect to get any kind of answer any time soon.
I think It would be a good idea to use the themes to knock the kinks out of using cm7 themes, and build that modified version of theme chooser into bulletproof. I that way we could use the themes with no issues and just go find and download them on our own.

I like this idea too. Figuring out what's missing from either the two theme-chooser/manager.apk files or the themes themselves so people can find their own themes is definitely important.
My goal for Bulletproof was to distribute it with about 20 themes to start on a fresh install - we gotta do something with all that free internal memory available now.
You've definitely paved the way for that dream to become a reality with this discovery and the supporting information you've been supplying since - I can't thank you enough for this.
I love the open source philosophy, curious people, and the home XDA has made for us to share awesome stuff like this - I just can't contain my level of excitement right now and am bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
It really is amazing, I'm just glad to have a mysense rom with awesome themes like honeycomb and gingerblur.
I think the themes themselves are missing the animations compatible with htcs theme engine.
The normal one doesn't bounce around with card like themes. I think that's the real problem, including which makes sense why it doesn't handle swipes well. I it doesn't know how to replicate the bouncing cards.

Could i get that honeybread theme, on my mine, without having to use another ROM? and if so, can some point me in the right direction? TIA

As far as I can tell it just requires a deodexed rooted mysense ROM.
Use mybackup root to backup your apps including themes and restore it them with data afterward

I have used all of the ROM's available for the Atrix 2, here's my review on each
RebelROM
This was the first ROM I tried out so it's the bar, so to speak, for all A2 roms. First installed it when beta 2 was the current version...lovely ROM! I loved how fast and smooth it was, the minimal theming was perfect and it was very easy to install (CWM flash). I didn't care for the stock dialer and the MiFiles app UI was a nice change but it only supports pics/video/music, can't use it like a full fledged file explorer so it was a waste of space to me. It's an incredibly pared down ROM with smooth operation and subtle theming mods. I did encounter issues with Calendar sync (wouldn't sync) and the GPS didn't work either. Calendar sync was resolved by doing a factory reset..GPS was resolved by removing CWM on boot, which also removed the OC. Reflashing the rom after this (without wiping data) restored the OC and preserved GPS, although it was incredibly inaccurate....as in off by 2+ blocks. Also, turn by turn navigation didn't work....it would give me the directions but the actual turn by turn never kicked it, always said "finding gps". Was never able to work that out.
All in all, great ROM! Beta 3 added some nice theming and some more stuff under the hood but it too is incomplete. Was able to fix the major issue with Beta 3 by flashing one of JWM 28's 1% battery mods.
SCv5
This ROM I think is the fastest and smoothest of them all but my big issue with this one is some of the apps are carryovers from the Atrix 4g, like the text messaging and Blur setup one's. That being said, when I restored by apps and app data I lost out on all my text/sms messg's since the app used in this rom is not the same one used in RebelROM. This was a deal breaker as I despised the look and feel of the Atrix 4g software. If that wasn't enough, the settings menu interface also had the look of the Atrix 4g. I just could not get used to this new look and these apps. Speaking of apps, the Market app is the old one, and wouldn't update for me like it should. I ended up installing the new apk myself, minor inconvenience. And Google maps wasn't included. I did like the animations and UI aside from the portions of it described above, but it just wasn't for me.
AtrixBlaze
This one didn't last long on my phone. I first flashed v2, immediately got rid of it. The font was hard to read (too small, type of font didn't help either). The minimalistic text launcher icons weren't my cup of tea, the theme was over the top and the boot animation was low quality. No reboot option in the power menu. But everything else worked and in speed and smoothness there's no complaint. Ended up giving v3 a shot for the past 4 days or so, wanted to give this version a fair shake as the issues described above for the most part can be customized. This version the dev stepped up his game and came out with what looks like a complete graphical overhaul complete with beautiful ICS animations. The font was much better....but the theming was just way too much for my taste. The icons for the drop down toggles were kind of hard to see/figure out what they were for mainly due to their small size. The notification bar icons were cool, but some were just too small...like the usb one. Nice icons but due to the tiny size up there it just wasn't a good fit, IMO. And unless you stick with a neon blue theme, the bar will stick out like a sore thumb. It's got 2 dialers, one regular one modded like crazy and one in-call dialer....I much prefer the in-call dialer. On the regular dialer if you have big fingers like me you could be a little unsure if you pressed the right number since the whole button doesn't light up, the horizontal dividers and light up animations just didn't sit well with me either. The settings menu icons were nice but just added to the graphical overkill. No problems functionally with this ROM but the over the top theme is just too much.
VictoryROM
A minimalists' dream! Simple and to the point with some very classy mods that fit perfectly. Going into settings and clicking any subsection, the UI looks perfectly stock aside from the tastefully small, ICS blue boxes next to the optional selections...when selected, a tastefully small, ICS blue checkmark populates said box. Very nice! The dialer looks stock, and is for the most part...the mod he did to it doesn't jump out and slap you in the face, it's very subtle and clean looking. The in-call screen is similarly modded. My only qualms about this ROM is that it doesn't have the 1% battery mod nor a reboot option in the power menu...but the icons and text in said menu are clean and crisp. No OC, although that's a good thing as far as battery life is concerned. And the battery icon has no numerical charge indicator. Other than that, an absolutely perfect, classy, tastefully done ROM that works fully right out the box. The theming that has been done to it is not only minimal but complete and consistent throughout the ROM. I'm not sure if JWM 28's 1% battery mods will work on this ROM but i'm going to find out shortly Definitely some room for improvement under the hood, would love to see an optional OC version with the ICS animations and the 1% battery mod as well as reboot in the power menu but other than these small things this ROM absolute perfection!

Nice re-cap / review of our ROMs. I pretty much agree with your views. Only thing I would change is the note on install method for RebelRom. Its an install zip through bootstrap/CWM recovery. Not a "restore" file.
I'd like to see the options you mention in Victory ROM too. Especially the reboot in power menu option.

Really though, just wanted to spark some conversation, give a little insight to people who may be leaning one way or the other.
Good reviews, 916, thanks for putting that together..
This is not really a review, but kind of a tangent to the subject.. and I thought this would be a good place for it.
Ok. I've been mussing around with themes and whatnot, and I guess it turns out i'm like a rom scavenger or something..
I was running the Atrix Blaze rom for a while (great rom also), and actually i've tried all available roms/psuedo-roms and there were always a few things that I liked/disliked about each.. sooo, I researched a bit and learned a lot about what's where in terms of the system workings for the A2 (and androids in general), and started to change things myself..
That being said, I am currently on a modded version of VictoryROM (i performed a bunch of these mods to Atrix Blaze first, but decided to wipe data (3x) and go with the minimalistic V-rom and start over)...
I changed the fonts, dropdown items, status bar items, lockscreen, dockbar (hotseat), check/toggle buttons, etc.---> (For fun, see if you can spot where I got everything from! Big props and credit goes to those from which I borrowed!! ) I also tweaked out the build.prop and installed milestone overclock (still at stock 1000, but will probably go up to 1100), so I can fine tune the speed.
Not through tweaking and experimenting yet, but so far I'm calling it the altROM (not really - i'm not a rom baker, so it's kind of a joke..)

The SystemUI.apk has the quickpanel (dropdown) stuff, and the status bar icons, etc.
Not sure yet about all the settings menus yet, i'll get back to you on that. But i'm pretty sure that they are .9.png files, so it's best not to try and edit unless you are familiar with the process. You can usually just swap - copy over - the exixting .9.png files from different roms with no problem. I'll look into it more and let you know (if you don't figure it out yourself first)
Cool. I just used the icon changer in ROM Toolbox to swap the battery icon. Notice the reboot icon/script I have on my screenshot. That came from RTbox as well. Kinda cheating. But I have changed out some .apks (not really all the difucult either using RTbox.
I have a Linux box so my methods will be a little different than most here using Windows apps. Thanks.

What files did u change for the wifi color I've also been wanting to change my 4g icon
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Thanks for your review !
IMO, difference between these ROMs is themes, no more.
Speed, smooth ... are same; bugs, lag and something that locked by Moto are same of course!
Simple reason : all of them based on stock 2.3.5/2.3.6 of Moto for Edison.
Things that I hate on based stock Rom for Atrix 2, have not been fixed yet in all available "cook" Rom now :
- Lock screen
- Light sensor problem
- Lag touching when use virtual keyboard (tried many keyboard apps)
- Freeze when slide to answer (same as Milestone 3 yrs ago)
- Hidden functions/options in Setting menu
- True mobile Hotspot (no needed for sign-in AT&T account)
- Free-call apps compatibility like Viber, Skype, Yahoo Messenger (video call)
- Better camera quality (color, saturation, exposure...)
...
So, change will come if :
- Motorola releases new Rom for A2 (or at least fix all bugs that I listed above)
- Bootloader unlocked for flashing AOSP or any full/ported Android ROM.
Because it's AT&T version so I'm sure Moto still locks things that they think it should be or AT&T want special Rom for them like this way.
Hope and wait now !

There are nine or so .png files in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi called stat_sys_wifi_signal_(something)
I think the 4g icons are also in there.. under zz_moto_stat_sys_data_(something)
You can just swap out those .png files with the ones you want. PM me or search if you want a detailed explanation as to how..
@vinamilk
That's one way to look at it. Anothèr is despite motorola/at&t's efforts to keep the phone locked down, development is underway. The community is working it out. Its a testament to how good this handset really is and the potential here. Is the glass half empty or half full? ;-) in the end, our accomplishments will be all the sweeter for having to go the extra mile.
Sent via Tapatalk with VictoryRom_v1.1
KEB64, if Google gives you full ROM (AOSP), it's more easier for you to re-build, "cook" or tweak yourself. But Rom that based on stock which locked/deleted functions for special request from Carrier agent is hard to tweak more.
I appreciate the effort of all Devs here but we have to admit a lot of limitation when cooking Rom from locked stock Rom.
Understood.

For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!
Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.
I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.
Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d8g2bdll7i2jn3a/jv85IfKLeG
These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!
thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.
.
Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.
That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.
Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?
Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.
It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.
