where's all the nexus themes?

So why isn't anyone producing nexus themes?
There's some great devs out there but no themes?

Look through the sub-fourm that you just posted this thread in.
1. It is time consuming.
2. Most images need to be recreated.
3. People are still too busy playing with the phone/waiting for stable ROMs.

I perfectly understand it's a lot of work. I just was surprised that there weren't more of them. I definitely didn't mean it in a derogative way. I truly give the devs a standing ovation for their hard work and efforts. I guess it's me being impatient as always! Am used to the g1 forums being crammed with new stuff. My apologies if I offended anyone.

Also, I think most of the main themers with the G1 don't have a nexus yet lol. I know one of them just got a nexus, so I need to harass him some more so he starts working on his theme.

I just purchase Nexus One just before few days.Well my experience is positive.Recently I am using some themes which I have downloaded from few sites of themes,but I am not much satisfied from that so I am surely trying to make some new themes in a short period of time.As I complete that I will surely share that here.Till then please keep in touch...

You just bumped it.

why not make one yourself? Theming in the case of resigning and rezipping is easy. Editing the pngs is probably next hardest (esp. when you see what guys like Sir_Mez and Manup456 are able to do- now that is skill) and then you just learn how to fix 9patch drawables- easily done if you spend a bit of time reading. All the information is in the android theming section.
At the moment there is no theme template for cyanogen which is one reaosn why no themes- personally i just have a themed framework-res.apk, services.jar, Launcher2.apk, Browser.apk and vending.apk and each new rom i just still the themed images in to the apk files and push them across via adb- not for general consumption. And unless you barrack for Geelong Football club my theme is no good for you

There are plenty of themes for the Nexus One, just many of them arent found on this site.
Here is mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625306

As already said, there are quite a few out there. Some are flashable, some are morphs.
I think that the apps and themes parts of this forum should be broken apart into two uniques so it is easier from a user standpoint

Creating a custom Launcher?

I'm interesting in creating a custom launcher for Android but don't really know where to begin. I've looked online but I can't really find any starting points for a project like this...
I realize this is a pretty big project but also see is as a tremendous learning opportunity! Could someone please give me a push in the right direction?
EDIT: A friend directed me to the source for the stock launcher and a few others. That's what I was looking for.

I would be interested as well in such information, I'd like to try it out. Maybe we could share some ideas...
I'm taking this week to think of what could be done in that field...

Sounds good!
I've been looking at the code for the stock launcher and it's a little overwhelming. I wish there was a barebone launcher (just an empty screen) that I could build from. I'm trying to trim this one down but it's going to take a while

Anyone could point me out some tools to start with ? I'm not asking for answers but tutorials, guides and advices.
I've got ideas for an Android Launcher but have 0 experience in developing...

developer.android.com.
And learn Java.

Steampunk Theme... I think I've done it!

I have collected icons, walls, made some of my own stuff and compiled it all into a steampunk theme running on the 31-DEC release of Vanilla Froyo2.2 CM6.2.1.
First off I need to give credit to manup465 and tekrodriguez for the work they did in the other droid forums.
More Vintage, Less War by Manup465
Rusty Metal Theme by tekrodriguez
I don't know if anyone is interested in this... i did some modifications to a lot of the core app .apk's and it could possibly cause problems if you're running a different theme. I'm not going to post an theme.zip unless you let me know that you really want it. This was more to prove to myself I could pull it off. Let me know what y'all think!

Yes... that "coppertop" battery is my creation. I'm pretty proud of it!

I would like to get that if you would be so kind

this looks lovely!
is that AWD you themed? would you consider doing LauncherPro(Plus)?

I REALLY want this!
I've been looking for something like this for years! Can I run it on t-mobile touch pro 2 running WM 6.5? (I guess it's manilla)
Beautiful work.
Thanks so much,

Umm... there is a ridiculously huge thread devoted to the rom I'm running... it's over in the development section... i believe jaybob413 is the originator of the thread and it has had many, many updates. I believe it's still on page one of the development section... says Froyo2.2 right in the subject line.
to everyone else... I'm happy to make my wallpaper and icons available to you, but to theme your phone you'd have to manually change your framework-res.apk and the application .apk files yourselves. I'm sorry, but with a family and two jobs, I don't have that kind of time. I'll try to work on a zip file to make the image files available sometime soon.

Yes... it's ADW launcher. I'll post the images asap. Unfortunately, LauncherPro only allows you to change the images of the dockbar. ADW allows you to change the images of any non-widget on the desktop. However, in my mod, I actually took the time to change the framework-res.apk and the application .apk's so it shows up changed in the drawer as well. I just don't have time to do that for everyone. sorry!

I know, if you read the post I was quoting he was asking about running it on windows mobile 6.5 on a touch pro 2, I stand firm on my statement that it wont work on that phone

I know this is kind of old and i am just about to ask quite a bit so I will begin. I recently began getting interested in the steampunk subculture and I remember looking at this and thinking it is kind of nifty. So my questions are 1. Would anyone be willing to revive this theme and 2. If so would they be willing to meld it somehow with the Gingersense theme? I think it would look pretty amazing

This theme look so great, where can i find it, i want it

[Q] Want to help with ROM development

I'm a graphic designer by occupation and I'm looking to help work on ROMs. I'm very happy with the G2x section on this forum (some other sections are legit dead) and the ROM selection is awesome. The performance is on par with every ROM I've tried; I consider each other five or six that I've tried to be great improvements over stock OS. One thing has bugged me though: the design of most UI is just plain, boring, and sometimes even ugly.
I'm willing to do some UI design (themesets, icon packs, general UI optimization) for anyone who's willing to pick me up. I can provide a portfolio if requested. (I feel like I'm applying for jobs again ).
Anyway, shoot me a PM or reply in here. I'd love to put some work into the community here in any way I can.

I'm down, man. What type of style are you wanting to run with? I've wanted to create a minimalist, functional ROM for a while now. Are you looking for a complete overhaul of the UI or just simple design work? I'd love to work on a project that's a unique take on the UI.
Let me know. I'd love to help out.

I want to help as well.
Hey DEVs. Where can I find some guides for building Kernels for the P999? I would love to recreate Faux and Dragon Kernels to learn how its done and perhaps provide back to the community. With the ultimate goal of building a dragon like kernel with swap, zram, and tweaks with JBoxer new 2.3.4 kernel.

Start with new graphics for the settings and notification bar/window. Decide on a color theme for the rom. You can just search around on google for what sizes, etc. I will send you a PM with a link for a zip file with settings graphics and systemui graphics from a stock rom. There are specific requirements Android has and I am not sure what they are, as I just copy graphics from carrier roms. Try to figure it on Google.

Well thanks dw9906, The title of the thread was "Want to help with ROM development" and I sure as hell would like too, but if I don't know how to start I guess I can't help. I guess I will continue to be a noob waiting and asking for other people to do the custom ROM work.

Use Google Search. It works magic. That is where I learned everything I know about rom development. With Google and four days work I was able to modify the SystemUI.apk on my rom and port the Samsung i9000 Quickpanel to the notification window. Don't give up. Do some searching, trial and error and you can learn anything you want about Android and how to develop for it.
First step, install the Java JDK and Android SDK environments. [free and free]
Second step, install Eclipse Java development environment. [also free]
Third step, Google, Google, Google. [mostly free]
Enjoy. I hope to see some efforts from you soon.

Thanks JBoxer
Thanks JBoxer, I found about 5 sites using your Keywords and found some great places to get started. Did you make any changes to the Kernel or WIFI module in your ROM to make it compatible with the P999, or did you just build from source?

I did neither. Kernel is from rom LG built for another vendor's proposed device. They built an evaluation rom for 2.3.4. The phone's hardware is identical to the P999. I am using that kernel and wireless.ko.

Help with creating sense themes

There's tutorials everywhere buddy...you'll need basic understanding of coding which I know for a fact you have no clue what you're doing... Go learn java and android xml male an app or two come back than you'll know how to theme and you should have. Basic understanding of adb before anything which I also know you have no clue about...and is that hard to use Google search like **** how lazy are you...noone responds to your questions..god help us if you try to make a theme it'll probably somehow manage to fry my phone...
But all in all....use google many tutorials on xda just have to look and go learn before you tried anything and at least know what you're doing
Good day

Okay..... Adb I do know and have a basic knowledge of..... Java is the only one, there's no need to insult someone. I don't just ask here before I search. I googled it found broken ends. Nothing I could find. Thanks for the answer and thanks for the insult too <3 hehe
By the way.... Adb isn't THAT hard... I'm not "illiterate" when it comes to android phones.... Me and a friend of mine are working on the Droid Incredible 4g the only reason I asked so many retarded questions in these forums is because I knew ONLY about the vivid. Then I got this phone as my replacement and now this tread will most likely get closed.... I'm not looking for a tutorial, I am looking for a person to email me and give me ideas... I do graphics and design. I'm part of my parents home business... I need to theme
