¤ [Theme] CM6 - xTheme Improved [9/1/10]

This is an entirely custom job I've done that is comparable to xTheme by Fabolous. Instead of using other Droid X-like themes, I pulled all images from the Droid X & Droid 2 system dumps and made some modifications to my liking since the other themes didn't have the "right feeling" to me.
Please do not repost (or port & upload) my work without permission; do not claim any of my work as your own; I've put a lot of time into making this what it is today. Before doing anything questionable, ask yourself how you would feel if someone took credit for your work. Thanks for understanding.
My customizations that set this apart from others (I was the first to complete the theme) include:
• Changed all system buttons & dropdown menu button font color from black to white, as it should be.
• Changed everything from orange to red.
• Changed text highlight color from orange to a matching red.
• Fully themed system apps, added Droid 2 keyboard, extra soundpack.
Download:
•v0.5 - Fixed dropdown button font from black to white.
http://bit.ly/dvyul7
•Addons - (Fully themed system apps, Droid 2 keyboard, added HTC ringtones/alarms, some iPhone UI sounds, Zegoe font) I'm aware of some of the graphical problems, still working on it. Those nasty .9.png's..
http://bit.ly/ajn0vI
Extras:
•Super Circle Battery (with black %) - Same as regular build, but uses the circle battery with black %.
http://bit.ly/cBRBpY
•Themed LauncherPro v0.7.6.0
http://bit.ly/9Tqrbh
•Themed K-9 Mail - Improved version of stock Email.
http://bit.ly/9UOEYl
•Themed NubDial - Smart dialpad, similar to HTC Sense Dialer.

If you're having trouble getting your statusbar and pulldown font colors to look the way I have them in the screenshots, go to:
Settings -> Cyanogenmod settings -> User Interface -> Notification colors
...and use this configuration:
Notifications ticker color= #ff000000
Notifications count color= #ffffffff
No notifications title color= #ffffffff
Clear notifications label color= #ffffffff
Ongoing notifications title color= #ffffffff
Latest notifications title color= #ffffffff
Items title color= #ff000000
Items text color= #ff000000
Items time color= #ff000000
• It probably won't let you enter 8 digits. Instead, use the last 6; the first ff tells the system to make the colors completely opaque. 00, on the other hand, symbolizes fully transparency. Play with the alpha bar under color picker to your liking.

Great work

Just the status bar or do you want everything to be red, too? I did a side project months back where I turned everything in SenseUI from green to red, but iy isn't 100% complete yet. It's more like ~90% finished.

The droid x status bar and everything that is green to red would be awesome! With droid x icons of course

Hi.. Is there any chance you could get this running on a Droid 1 with rc3? I tried this and my apps kept force closing when it booted up. Thanks!

Looks awesome.. Too bad I dont user anything but black status' bars. If you dont mind can you one a black version too?

To OP, I noticed the signal icons were really offset and WAY too small. I decided to center and enlarge them and IMO it looks a lot better. can send you the edited pngs to add them in if youd like.

Yup, not a problem. Do you want it to be this theme with the sense status bar, or the stock sense theme with all green replaced with red? I've practically already done both. Again, it may take a couple of days. I won't get off work until Sunday morning.

Thanks for much for trying to port it to the Droid 1, I really appreciate it!

I was actually hoping for the original Droid X status bar. I think it looks much more sleek and clean.

That's what I'm using.

Updated original post with ports for SKyraider 2.5.2 & Motorola Droid running CM6 rc3, as well as a black statusbar mod. Let me know if they work out for ya. I'll post updated screenshots of the latest UI when I get time.

Er the Droid port doesn't install. There's an error concerning a boot.img or something..? I thought that maybe the zip file was the problem so I put the framework-res.apk into a different zip file and that installed, but there are still force closes everywhere :[

The Droid X status bar has a blue tint to it making it look much sleeker. The one that is in your screen shots is just white.

why isn't there a service.jar in the droid port? Also I installed over some other guy's droid x theme hoping to get the improvements you listed, but I didn't get any. In fact, it's as if the zip might not even have actually installed.. o_o.

Nice Theme....only one problem...it is RED!!!...I would love it in blue

This theme is beautiful, It looks like you put so much work into it! it goes great with my speck case I have 2 requests though
- a patch for a stock battery but with red insides
- a patch for stock lock pattern dots
thank youuuu

Very nice work! Just installed over skyraider and it looks great.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Very nice work ! However too red for me, blue would be killer !
Regards

dude what a theme, wow, incredible work.

Just installed on the 8-1 dated New Leak and looks great except for one big thing:
Please remove the red line under the notification tray.
It sticks out way too much and stops any black backrounds from blending in seemlessly with the notification tray. It also doesn't look right as the battery icon and red line overlap each other.
Again I think it would look cleaner without it.

Like stated in my first post, this is a work in progress. I am aware of the icons resting on the line and have been slowly but surely raising them up so they do not. I messed around a bit just making the notification area just black without the red line and it didnt look right. I will play around with it again.

If your ROM is based of the 08/01/2010 leak then yes it should work.

Does there have to be any line of any color? I think just removing the line would be great if possible otherwise I would take black or whatever color the rest of the notification bar is.
Anyway thanks for all your work you can tell how much polish went into this.

Can you post the wallpaper that is shown is the first image? That in my opinion is what makes the theme awesome.

Having it solid black notification area looks incomplete. The trick is having it blend (transparency) but doesn't look funky when the notification area is pulled down. I am working on it now.

Features / Mods
Notification Menu Power Control Widgets (JsChiSurf)
Stock Battery Icon w/ Grey Percentage (Image author unknown)
"Fold" animations/transitions (Stale bread, originally for the Samsung Moment)
Heavily themed frameworks (navy blue + light blue)
All credit goes to the respect authors of the above mods. I take credit ONLY for putting this into a flashable package and for editing/modifying the frameworks to create the theme you see here.

Thoughts
This is stock Evo Sense 2.2 styling with a tasteful splash of two shades of blue. This theme includes a couple of mods that will add useful power control widgets to the taskbar, and new window transition animations throughout your ROM.
At first, you'll notice the changes when you click on things (icons, dialer, links in the status bar, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc). As you use the theme, you'll notice that things that were android-green before are now either a subtle light blue, or, more often, an intense navy blue.
The transition animations are most easily noticed when using the android menu button or with pop-up notifications.
If you slide the taskbar down, you'll notice JsChiSurf's Power Control Widgets.
These are set to default in this theme, but you can change them by following his guide here.
You'll also notice the white background with a blue droid. I threw this together pretty quick, I may update it for the next revision.
The battery icon is self-explanatory. It works at 1% intervals and has a very nice charging animation. The graphics for this icon were made by someone else but I was unable to find the author. If anyone can link me to a credible source, I will post it here.

It's very subtle, that was my main focus when building this was to make sure it didn't come out tacky and overly focused on one color
Thank you for your feedback.

love it .. best theme by far imo. i loved different combinations with Riptide but this is the best

Works great for me. My only comments are that I could use more blue (I guess you can't please all of the people all the time!), and I don't like the grey percentage in the battery icon. It's too hard to read just by glancing at it, in my opinion.
Other than that, I'm loving it. I was torn between AvaFroyov10 and some other roms becuase I wanted a blue theme, and the one I was using wouldn't work with AvaFroyo. So your theme is perfect for me.

I don't care for the grey text in the battery, either. I'm planning to make a new icon that ties in with the blue theme for the next revision.
As for more blue, throw me some more ideas on where you would like to see it and I'll see what I can do.

I've got no idea what's possible and what's not with theme making (I'm pretty NOOB to android, I've been on WinMO from about 5 years ago until last month). But if it's possible to modify the taskos widget with a blue theme and include it in your theme, that'd be pretty sweet. here's what my homescreen looks like with your theme (and a blue version of the smooth calendar widget I scavenged from RUJELUS22's Edition Blue Theme Sense V2.4):
That android green is sticking out like a sore thumb! I've definitely got a donation headed your way if you can make it blue for me.
As far as more blue, maybe a blue highlight or outline along the top of the launcher, or blue icons in the launcher. or maybe blue icons in the notification bar? That might be too much, I don't know, I'm not very artistic!
and BTW, the blue themed battery indicator would be kick*ss.

will someone please post a mirror to this.
Also does it work on calkulin 1.6.2.....anyone try?

Why would you need a mirror?? Its a direct download..
You'll have to try it on your install, nandroid then flash and you'll be fine, worst case you restore your nandriod backup. You'll lose any themed elements in calkulans rom if he has themed anything in frameworks..

A green theme would be nice =)

In your screen shot, the one with the three together, the one on the right has the drop down notification in blue. Care to give the png and file name where that is located?

[Theme]MDM's Frosted Warm TwoPointTwo for RLS5 (1/15 -Gingerbread Menus, 4x5 Sense)

Thanks to Myn, first and foremost, both for the awesome ROM, and then for giving me some technical advice when I got into the nitty gritty. Also thanks to Orgambino and DJZager, whose tutorials I used to find the files I wanted to modify, and finaly, thanks to SteelH for letting me use his no-clock-no-GPS script.
Thanks also to Rujelus22 for his hard work with the Gingerbread Menus and for letting me incorporate them into this theme.
Also, thanks to Slugbug2010 for providing significant feedback, pushing me to incorporate the Gingerbread menus, among other things.
I thought it would be fun to take Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo and cool it down a bit, adding a fair bit of translucent white. In doing so, I came up with a fun Notifier Bar that fades from translucent to white, and in some apps fades from black to white. With the white text on the notifier and the black icons, it's pretty striking.
As mentioned above, this Theme also removes Clock and GPS from the notifier bar.
Most of the work here is in the framework, so not a lot of changes to actual icons, except for where white wasn't going to show up, and so I made it black. Also, some blue replaces some green, further cooling it down.
Edit 1/12/2011 I've tweaked the power control icons, added Rujelus22's Gingerbread menu mods, and did some more icon work to crispen things up.

Definitely going to try this out!!!

Very nice job.
I will add this to the Warm TwoPointTwo thread in post #3.
Thanks for this nice contribution.

Very sexy...I might go with this

Thanks guys! I'd love to see any screenshots when you flash it!

Nothing fancy
Screenshot of my home screen. Using MIUI clock on Fancy Widget and DG4FREE's Rosie Mods.

Very VERY nice. I really like this. I wasn't expecting Myn's GB black menus to go away, but the Frost is growing on me
Here are some screen shots. I think your term was best - striking.
(ps - just an fyi that the gmail icon is white and it "disappears" on at least one screen I found - the first page of the facebook app, shown below, there is a M for gmail in the upper left but it doesn't show up. NOT complaining, just pointing out if you wanted to know)

Yeah, the issue you experienced with the GMAIL icon dissappearing is a point of frustration for me. there are a few Apps that have a lower layer of WHITE in the titlebar instead of black. That means that for most apps, you'll get the black to white fade effect, but for a few, it will get lost. I'm still trying to figure out that one....the only fix I found so far is to get rid of the transparency in the titlebar and go to a transparent black on that side, which doesn't look nearly as nice with some backgrounds. I'll keep poking at it.
With regards to the black gingerbread menus - are you saying you had flashed Rujelus's Gingerbread Menus, and that flashing Frosted Warm wiped it out? Let me know if that's the case. I'll have to chew on how to prevent that.
Thanks for the feedback!!!

More screen shots!
I wanted others to see how nice this looks on a few different kinds of wallpaper. Looks fantastic on a blue-ish background - your theme really stands out and makes things seem to "float" and appear really HD/3D.
(I also included a pic of the menu. I already had the GB menus flashed when I flashed your theme. They changed from black to white...or we'll call the Frost )

Thanks SlugBug! Here's a link to new flashable .zip with gingerbread menus!

More pics!!! I tried to capture as many not. bar icons as I could, along with the BG menu.
(the blue Gmail notification icon is from a themed Gmail I grabbed from the Dinc)

Your setup works, with the speedo battery and colored vanilla lock, while keeping the gingerbread menus???

It shouldn't. Unless the Vanilla Lockscreen uses a different file than com.htc.resources.apk. Otherwise whichever one you flash last will overwrite the other

ok....cool...i just really wanted a cool battery....and still keep my gingerbread menus....

Easily done open up the.zip file for my theme, navigate to /system/framework/framework-res.apk. extract that file and go to http://circle.glx.nl/
Pick your battery, skip all other options, and in the last stage tell it to upload the framework you pulled out of my .zip.
It will generate a flashable update file that will mesh with everything else I've done AND give you your batt. indicator of choice.
Just flash my update, then that update et voíla!

Great work! Looks incredible. Any chance of you making a 4x5 Sense version of this theme? I just can't go back to 4x4 Sense, after using 4x5. Either way great work!

I had heard of some instability issues with the 4x5, so had held off on implementing it. I can drop it in my next revision, pretty easily.
I'm currently working with Slugbug2010 on themint the sense widgets, too. Hopefully this Sunday I'll have another revision out.

[THEME][ATHENA](funken)black status bar, 6 bar and other goodies

3/22/2011
Got some updates on Funkenblack and got the kinks out of 6-bar. Not much more planned besides finishing funkenred until SR 4 comes out. So far we have the Status bar, launcher, dial pad, lockscreen and various other elements themed to our liking.
Includes (as of 3/22/2011)
facebook sync (from ihtfp69's op)
6-bar service mod
inverted contacts (all thanks go to JsChiSurf)
themed fancy widgets
themed Launcher2.apk
awesome BIOS boot animation by frysee
more to come..
Instructions
Install like any other update zip through either Clockworkmod or Rom Manager. Scripts should all be Edify so its CWM 3 compatible. It does write over your com.htc.resources, framework-res, and your services.jar so any previous changes/themes will be overwritten.
We've also included just the 6-bar mod without the rest of the theme, with an update zip for both a white status bar, as well as a black(dark) status bar. These should work with just about any other ROM/Customisation for Athena. Download and flash accordingly. Also funkenblack already has the working 6-bar included so there's no need to get either of these with the theme.
Note any changes to the services.jar grants a long boot/reboot so be ready to wait a little bit.
I believe we've worked out all the bugs but if you find any let us know and we'll fix it as quick as possible.
v download links v all files hosted on my dropbox

Thanks to all the Users who have posted tutorials and are active in the community and Ihtfp69 for the ROM and alot of other people who deserve thanks whos names I cant recall. And most of all to george clinton for loving funk
thanks to JsChiSurf for some nice inverted HTC apps
And a big thanks to luke1987 for being the driving force behind most of this project, I mostly do the grunt work.

Just figured out where I was going wrong with the expanded statusbar! Expect an update next weekend. I'll finally be able to get rid of that terrible green background.

6 bar black statusbar is more for developers. It's just services.jar with 6 bar and white clock. I don't think there are currently any other themes with a black statusbar for Athena.
==================================
FunkenBlack Theme v2
Thanks to JsChiSurf for the inverted contacts apk
==================================
FunkenRed Alpha
Seems like all we have left now is polishing the extended statusbar and a couple rouge png's
**Known Issues**
1)Random restart when clicking battery stats on low battery popup
=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=∞=
Our very own black background...looks good with the themed launcher

I've already Noticed a few things in the screenshot I'd like to change including The aforementioned 6-bar. But its late so expect an update tomorrow. Also Within the next few days I'll be working on themeing the rest of the the framework, besides just the Status bar.
I'd be willing to except requests too.

Very nice guys. I've switched to cm7 for the time being after getting bootloops with warm and Magnolia and while waiting for lou to update things. But this could bring me back to the ihtfp fold.
Any chance you could release something without all the green? If not I may give it a shot.

Like incredibly re-engineered's theme?

Well, and this is purely personal preference, I'm not a huge fan of green. Re-Engineered's theme would be a great port if you could do it. Otherwise I can give it a go, i've just never had luck successfully decompiling/editing xmls/recompiling. Just png changes.

Great work guys. Ill be giving it a go this weekend.
I echo the reengineered port comments as well -- that said, im grateful for the work you have done.

Thanks Pete. There will be a minor update this weekend. I still don't know what to do about the drop down statusbar text color. It will be a major project to change the color. So for now I'm trying to decide what background will look best. Gonna start themeing launcher and menu this weekend aswell.

Could we get a red version?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yea eventually. I still have a few more things I want to finish on this theme. But down the road I'd like to release a red and honeycomb theme for both skyraider and Athena. School is taking up too much of my liesure time this semester tho, so it may be awhile. I seen a cool dropdown mod that I have to try implement into this theme.

Awesome, cant wait

I'm still loving this theme. Looking forward to what comes next.

I've started work on a red version. No promises on when I'll finish it but it shouldn't be to long. I'll put a link up when i think its at least usable. anyway hopefully you guys will enjoy it. After that I'll look into a honeycomb theme.

Where can I find that wallpaper in the screenshots?
Also, my status bar was solid black, now after a couple days it is fading back and forth from black to green. I actually love it, just wondering if that is new, or if it is trying to tell me something. LOL, can this theme auto update???

I cant remember where i found the wallpaper but I was planning on making it part of the theme but until then I'll try get a link up. As for the status bar fading to green, I believe thats just part of athena and appears at certain times like during a phone call.

Just got a red version finished there should be a link in the second post in the morning. Its not a completely finished product but looks pretty good i think. anyway goodluck and let me know if you find any flaws that should be fixed besides the ones mentioned in the second post.
