Question is: anybody using octane that is interested? maybe some collaboration?
Btw: I started this as just a learning experience, not to Kang any of raver's awesome work.
Pretty much, I'm just interested in playing with the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, so if anyone has some cool tips or knows of a good tutorial, feel free to chime in.

Hey bro, I've been kind of doing the same thing. I've taken icons I like (That all flow together, too) from a bunch of different ROMs, and a few other fun things. Hit me up by PM if you want to collab and see what we can come up with!
I've been more or less trying to theme octane more like his BSGS
PS Friggin LOVE your wallpaper... I had the same one all last week! XD!!

Which icons? Battery/Wifi/Signal/etc?
Or you do you mean the app icons?
Sounds great guys. I've been working third shift this weekend and a bunch of crap, sorry. I have some ideas that I've been wanting to draw out, I'll update soon.. Hmm now I probably won't sleep tonight!

Word. I'm working on getting the MIUI icons now.
So far I've got:
-Audiophile sound tweaks
-BSGS4g Pull down notification background (Transparent, I like it more lol)
-Almost all notification icons are blue themed (Excluding app notifications)
-Both ADW and ICS launchers pre loaded
-Debloated (A bit more ;p)
-Tegrak profile pre loaded in SD - 1.2ghz OC with UV settings, for anyone who favors tegrak
-Wifi files from the official release. I can't say 100% if its a big difference, but it seems such so far, I normally get ~2-3 bars in my room, and now I have like 4-5. Needs testing.
Not that I'm trying to build a new ROM out of it, just playing, customizing, tinkering... you know ;P
I haven't really found a set of icons from MIUI that I like much yet... you guys want just the plain white icons??
I did find these though
You can add some dimension to the bars in the pulldown which will really make it pop and be unique. Theme looks incredible!
doeblerdan,
Could you possibly post the blue splash wallpaper pictured in that photo? I know its stock with some ROMs, but i switched to a new one recently and its not avaikabke anymore and I'm really missing it!

What are you guys using to theme octane?
I tried to use The UOT kitchen but I softbricked my phone =/
Do I only cook just the framework.apk?

I'm just opening it in 7zip and playing with things ;P
Most of what you see on your screen is held in SystemUI.apk and Framework-res.apk (Not including most app icons/images, theyre in the app's APKs)
So do I open framework.apk and SystemUI.apk with 7zip and then push them back in?

You could. What I've been doing is extracting the drawables, working with them, then putting them back into the apks.
New pics of where I am at so far... If anyone wants a copy of where I am at the moment to try it out, shoot me a PM and I'll send you a DL link. Itd be nice to get some input from other users to see where I can go next with it ;P
Also if anyone knows how to change the background color of the menu that pops up, for instance when you are on your home screen and hit the menu button, could you please let me know? XD Right now its like a gray, and the letters are almost unreadable =X
EDIT: Uploaded NEW screenshots. mms, dialer, switched to older ICS and colored it all, app icons, etc etc etc.
New updates =)
So far:
-Changed almost every single system icon
-Themed almost every stock app icon
-Themed MMS app
-Colored ICS launcher blue (Everything!)
-Changed Dialer numbers to blue (more visible IMO)
-Themed the pattern lock a bit
-SOME lockscreen theming
-Changed the dropdown notification background(Also transparent), will be changing the text to a nice blue soon.
-Its almost entirely blue/black/white
What needs to be done:
-Menu background coloring (as you can see its grey, with grey lettering, eww) If anyone know an easy way to fix this let me know. So far every method I've tried ends with failure and me getting a new keyboard after bashing my head off of it.
-Dropdown notification text color
-Probably more locker based theme work coming up...
Anything else you guys would like to see in here??

Well, let me just say... haven't been tempted to do a custom rom at all till seeing your screens.. now it's a MUST!!!! Black is my favorite colour and your rom/theme would be well within my likes...
Don't know the advantages to custom rom or the disadvantages but either way.... looks are important...
You can see by laptop screen, darker the better:

It's called "Darkside" for Windowblinds app. It's looks really good if you like dark themes but every now and then you'll notice something cookey about it. For the most part though, I use it 95% of the time.

Haven't tried Dark Ginger yet, but in Dark Froyo 2.2, the reboot and power off buttons weren't themed (they were white with a gray outline while airplane and sound were solid gray, all on a white background). Was wondering if it's fixed on this one, or is it a straight port?

Not a problem. Don't have my laptop yet, so I can't theme or fix things, so I figured I'd help you out a bit. Not to mention you'd probably do a better job anyways.
And I think Dialer One just got an update, too.

looking great so far.
the widget editor in adw still looks a little bit funny, the buttons and icons look nice, except for the color of the text. also, the background/border is still grey. I figure you already know about it though.
I just tried out navigation and it looks so awesome!
I imagine it will be easier to change the text color of the notification drop down once cyanogen adds it into the settings. are you going to wait for that or are you trying to change the background and text colors of the notification drop down?
1 thing I would like to see is a different icon for gps in the status bar. right now it is the location bulls eye with a solid center.
keep up the great work :thumbsup

Something else I just noticed is the navigation icon on the status bar cannot be seen because it's too dark.

Yeah, all those things you mentioned I will work on. I have not changed any status bar icons to have people enjoy gingerbread icons for a while till I complete the images there. Different sizes so I will have to make them again cause resizing the images they look weird so I will remake the old ones smaller! The pulldown bar is giving me issues but yes once they complete the code changes with the rom then my edited images should work. They have theirs already in the framework but the code is not there yet! Thanks for the feedback!
Working On Any Rom That Is Based On Virus's Kingdom Port
OK, I took Burst's transparent theme and blued it up a little bit. This is the first time I tried to do something like this so take it easy on me. It still needs a lot of green taken out and made blue but just wanted to see if people liked before I spent even more time on it. I haven't went through the apps yet to swap out the app icons but I have a blue icon pack that you can use with something like folder organizer that way you can have matching icons until I get them swapped out. I would like to thank Burst for his awesome transparent theme, Iaccax for for allowing me to use some of his images and apk's and for just being nothing but awesome when I would need help or ask to use some of his work I can't thank u enough, Edint3000 because I used some of his images and app icons from his steel theme, Jeffsanace for answering some questions I had and jeffhbo for helping me swap out out some app icons.
6/8/11: Added in some white from Burst's new theme, themed the browser a little more, replaced some icons in the rose and the personalize folder, added back the modded idle_screen base due to Burst fixing the wake lock, Got the modded weather lock screen, added custom bootanimation by aph, themed dialer by iaccax, themed calculator by fdb8231. I'm sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now. This will most likely be the last update for awhile due to adopting a troubled family members child and needing to work extra hours to help pay for her. Thank u to Iaacax, Burst, Virus, Fdb8231, Magnusragnarok, Preludedrew, Jeffsanace, all the people who have left some of the nicest comments in my thread u have no idea what that has meant to me and Xda for giving people a place to go to learn and create some amazing stuff. If I missed anyone I'm sorry. I'm really tired and my memory isn't so great right now.

Thanks to my brother for taking the screen shots.
Edit: If u have flashed my theme or a theme that affects the lockscreen besides the unlock ring u are going to need to flash this if u don't want to do a full wipe. This should fix the wake lock without having to do a full wipe. So, boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik then flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?03v7pa0oczb4fpz . Then I would reboot the phone and let it boot up and then back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik and then flash theme. U may not even have to reboot in between flashing the fix and theme just a suggestion.
Here is a keyboard I did to go with the theme if anyone is interested.

Well... it's good enough I'm taking it to host.
http://sacs.arave.co
or... if the subdomain doesn't work for you...
http://arave.co/sacs/
That's turning into a generic Sense 3.0 site, rather than a focus on Sac's roms :-/
*sigh*
I'll redo the subdomain and header later, I suppose.
Or - since arave.co hasn't turned into what I wanted (or anything else, for that matter), I could just make it into a Rom and theme hosting site.
Thoughts?
Sense and Sensibility Alpha
Alright guys, here it is! This is an ALPHA version of a theme called "Sense and Sensibility." This isn't just to look like sense. The graphics were taken directly from stock sense.
TAKE NOTE: Tested on CM7. SHOULD work on most ROMS but who knows. So BACKUP!
Instructions:
1. Boot into CWM
2. BACKUP
3. Flash SenseSensibility.zip
4. Reboot/Rejoice
Any requests for things to be themed (sense-styled of course) can be made and most likely will be implemented considering I've never owned a Sense phone and don't know what is themed where.
I'd love if someone could tell me where I could change the color of the text in the menu button popup.
Downloads:
v .1: Click me
Themed things:
Header of lists (settings, messaging, etc)
Tabs (dialer etc)
Long press homescreen popup
Power off menu popup
Battery
Checkboxes
Menu button
Selection (turns a nice green) (pictured)
Loading animation popup (spinning circle)
Text box/text box highlight
Send button (SMS)
Text selectors
LOTS MORE (If I forgot any, let me know)
Things to look forward to:
Status bar
Fix menubutton background to make text readable
Dialer!
Widgets?
Make it more Sense-like.

Yeah haha. It's in alpha stage and it's mostly minor enhancements (so far). I also themed when you press down to select something. The major things I'd like to incorporate are a sense dock and lockscreen. These are mostly UI tweaks.
****. im learning. I'm basically taking a sense ROM and porting (copy paste ) the GUI. I'm working on it and just wanted to share what I have so far.
keep at it bro you'll get it...
I see what you did there... "add sensibility to dictionary?" made me lol. But anyways nice theme I like the ginger-sense mix especially all the dark gingerbread with the light greys of sense

I would love some help. You can flash it and see for yourself, but when you hit the menu button the text of the menu popup cant be read because the menu background is too bright. Do you know I can change the font colour of the menu popup? Haha. Either that or i'll have to edit every menu icon in photoshop and add a title below it
You want to look in framework-res/res/values/colors.xml...you will see the colors for various text, whether its bright or dim text, set against bright or dark background. Remember though, unless you made the change to the textApearance values already, then the background color you would consider will be what it still thinks it is. So my guess would be, maybe dim_foreground_dark

Crap. Im not much for decompiling.
Mr Hat,
I tried this theme with TWO different ROMS (Faux AOSP 1.3.1 and Weapon G2X 2.5)
The after flashing the theme in Recovery and rebooting, I got stuck in the bootloader screen-loop in both roms.
Luckily, I read your instruction and made a backup. Anything else I can try? Do you have a ROM that you recommend other that what I'm using.
First of all, Weapon is a rom based on 2.3.3...this theme is not for that rom. I suggest you do some more reading on the different android versions and the impact on choices of roms, kernels, themes, etc.

Decompiling is really easy if you use a GUI like APK Manager, and I use EditPad lite for xml files. Good luck with it; I got burnt out on theming quickly.
i like how poeple are quick to flame you and then they read your post then have to edit. keep up your work. look forward to how this develops.

First of all, Weapon is a rom based on 2.3.3...this theme is not for that rom. I suggest you do some more reading on the different android versions and the impact on choices of roms, kernels, themes, etc.

Thank you for the heads up. I guess I didn't do enough homework.
Mind sharing which ROM you're using? Or maybe toss out a couple ideas? It'd be much appreciated.
Of someone can send me a thorough set of screenshots of what Sense looks like in most aspects of the ui, I will make something happen. Pm me when you have something for me, and I'll give an email to send it.

Blegh, development is probably gonna be slow/might not come. I need to focus on my academics.
Full theme in post #2
Alright, first off, this is a work in progress to give some options for a solid rom. These are only the toggles right now and should actually work with any Rom right now that has the 14 toggles (R3V, Vagabond, Zeus)
I think Nun, Ex, and Dman gave us a great base to theme off of with the white and grey in R3velation. I really prefer it all be neutral but with only a touch of color where I choose (whether it is icons or the zips I am providing). I do not nearly have the talent those guys do, but thought I would share some of the minor modding I am learning along the way.
For the record, I will put up a screenshot of what I have done (which is little at this point, but I already said why) and I use the following elements to make a few other changes:
Go Launcher Ex
Icons are Crystal HD which can be found Here so you can give proper credit
For the Calendar I use Calwidget and set the color (free on the market)
For the clock I use Fancy Widgets (free on the market)
As you can see I have run it on my phone with out issue, but cannot be responsible for errors, but of course I will try and help.
Take a look, see if there is anything you like, and flash away.

Here is also a Link for some really good transparent widgets
So far I would like to give thanks to the following people who have helped, created, modified or allowed me to use somethingof theirs to put this together:
Nunhugger, Experiment, Dman, Qkster, Mongo41, Lancelaut, Master&Slave, King murray, FiveOhFox and growing...
This was made and tested for R3velation, so if you use it on anything else good luck.
A Hintish More.....
A little more fully themed Zips for ya for those that want more color. I start off by giving you:
TAME BLUE
If it gets stuck on the bootanimation, simply hold down the power to boot a second time and all should be good. Been testing a few days and all is well. Hope you enjoy.

Yes. That is what I have been doing, right over v2. Since I keeping this at a minimum, it should be fibe even if they update. I know you can use this on Zeus as well as I have flashed it there too.
I will be adding other colors too so keep checking in. Also let me know if you think other items might be nice. Like I want to keep it minimal, but maybe the notification bar, only the clock and data signal.
Just trying thinkof just slight colors, coause I like adding color through other elements, and the white is easy to read for the rest. I really like what Nun and the crew did with this.
Anyways, let me know.

Yes, I already did it on Zeus. Did not want to say that in the OP as I may delve into more system stuff and did not want to mess any one up.
Right now this will work with any 14 toggle I believe as I am altering the lidroid.
Dude i was looking for something like this. Thx buddy! Flashed over r3v 2 and it looks nice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
No problem. I am going to try and do a few more. I have already switched my color around a few times with these since it is so easy.

Updated the OP with orange
Two more added, pink and purple.
As you can see I am also posting a few colors of the mongo toggles (but not pics since you know what they look like), let me know if you guys want anything. I might color a few more elements in the systemUI like some menus and the notification bar items like the battery wifi etc. Let me know what you think.
Yellow added to op.
Hey, pp. It's looking good! You got this down to an assembly line.
Yeah for these small mods I can pump them out, it will take a bit more when I strart modding other stuff. At least it gives people options.
If you could, you should try and implement the lidroid to vagabond. It is a nice option. People could then flash some of this stuff as well.
For the future I am trying to make things that people could flash across roms for choices to spice it up.
A few people have been asking me to publicly release these icons, so here they are!!! Im using Desktop Visualizer to set these, but any other custom launcher will also do.
Whats New In This Release?
1. Better icon ogranization

Thank you for making and sharing these. You, sir, do fine work.
However, why is the "molten" pack so much smaller than the other 2?

The Molten ones are the original, the other two are just run by Photoshop in a batch edit so im guessing that has to do with the size differences.
Great job, OP, and thanks for the icons! Anyway of getting them in a darker blue? I'm running CM with the Steel Blue theme chooser theme, and these would just be the icing on the cake
Also, you may want to post these here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824656 to get some more exposure.

Umm I cant remember what launcher decks runs... but unzip them, put the folder from the zip on you sdcard, then hold down on a icon on your launchers home screen and select change icon or something along those lines and you should see all the icons in your gallery. If you are using a launcher that cannot swap icon images then download desktop visualizer off Google Play and apply them through that app.
Anyone know the font being used in the "infected glow" screenshot? Thanks in advance.

Umm no... ive taken the original apps icon image, cut out what needs to be made red or black colored from those images, built the image back together with the new colors then added the glow effect. Ill be the first to admit im no photo editing expert or graphics designer but I originally made these for myself and people asked me to release them. It takes longer then you would think to try to manipulate the icons preexisting colors to get the right look, its not like i just loaded a bunch of icons into Photoshop, tossed on a a hue saturation and said hey, look at these cool icons I made. But if you think you can do the same or better in like a "pretty easy" time feel free to show me up
Oh and btw if you feel like hating on someone go check out that other guys glowing theme because those images are literally loaded in and out of gimp. I should know he asked me how to make the effect.
Also since we are being critical of each others work your ICS them for MikG has the ugliest navbar and lockring I have seen in a while. Go for something more like an SOSX look or else good job haha.
