UPDATE!!! EXTRAS FOR MR AVAILABLE!
The extras have now been updated with the new apps to support the MR that Sprint has released. I also included new files. The files are listed below:
New!! Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Optimized Rosie
Optimized framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk (Animations and lockscreen)
New Bootscreen
Installation:
Just put it in the root of your sd card, select the file in recovery and flash. This should work fine on any rom (Stock Rooted, MoDaCo, Fresh, etc)
Please report any bugs in this thread. Note, I havent had time to test so report what doesnt work and I will fix it.
Thanks go out to Mlign (Dream forums) for the new animations and ruskiyab for the new lockscreen and of course every developer on these forums. Without you guys we would be nothing.
Downloads: (These are only for MR systems. If you do not have the MR download the file below Old Downloads)

Another person on the forums are looking into this. The xml files that contain the animation data seem to be encoded or encrypted in some way so until we can modify them we can't do anything just yet.
Well, for the short of it, adjusting the boot animations (like the Sprint logo or the Hero animated gifs) shouldn't be much harder than creating a new animated gif, packaging it up inside a zip under the /system/media/bootscreen/ directory (see chuckhriczko's mod in the first post of this thread for a good example), and installing it.
Customizing the actual animations, meaning the way things like menus or new screens fade/slide/grow/etc both in and out, that's a whole new, and fairly complicated ball game. Customizing the XML files themselves actually isn't that difficult. Packaging them up is.
I have more research and testing to do, but the general idea is that you write out your custom animation sequence in plain text XML. However, android expects this XML to be in a customized binary format when it reads it from the apk file. To do that, you need to package the apk and sign it through the android tools. The plug-in for Eclipse can do this, and supposedly so can aapt though I couldn't get it to serialize the XML when I tried earlier. So essentially, an entire repackage of the framework-res.apk file is necessary to have your own custom animation sequences within the UI.
Once I learn more I'll try to post a thread about it. I'll post it in Themes and Apps (seems appropriate) but link it here.
Thanks chuckhriczko!
Doh! After installing this, my sensesui always force closes after many reboots... not sure why, using the newest fresh rom...

I believe that this will have to be redone using the MR that came out yesterday. not sure, but the .apk files are probably different.

Yeah. Someone else mentioned this to me as well. I am going to update this soon as I can. Question for yall, I have an optimized Rosie for use with my Gutted rom. Would yall be interested in me including this optimized Rosie in this package too?

Installed on Fresh Rom .4. Phone is noticeably faster, love it! Thanks!
This is superb the fasted my Hero has ran Thank you much chuckhRiczko
Works lovely but I can't seem to change my lock wallpaper... is that because of the new lock screen? I believe I was able to change it previously even w/ the addons... another thing that I'm not sure is related to these addons or not is that I can't seem to do a PRL update. I'm gettin a Error code 1012... anyone else getting that error?
Thank you SO MUCH!!! This thread deserves a sticky since it can be added on to many custom roms!
I just flashed Fresh ROM .5d and tossed the extras on top. LOVE the quick and simple boot, LOVE the new bolder lock screen and I LOOOVE how my hero FLIES now, and the animations make it so much cooler!!!!
This weekend has been great for Hero owners!
Updated 08.19.10 Requires root.
New themes will be added at the bottom of post 2.
I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes. I have been busy for a bit but am back to update this ish.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that contributed in the past, present and future.
If I miss anything or if you would like yours added to the list let me know Im sure its incomplete.

Cool idea. But your last 8 links to the screenshots are not working.
Fixed I think... thanks
Thank you so much for this effort.
@sam enjoy
If anyone has any requests to port over themes please post them up with a link.
This theme´s only works on rooted X10 wright??
You know it
Great work!
Great Info, would love to see this as a sticky

I thought we should migrate all the uploaded themes and place future themes here to simplify finding and sharing themes.
The usual disclaimers and garbage go here. Use at your own risk. I think anything that is posted here should be within the copyleft idea. Google it if you're not sure what that is. If you upload something and want to be proprietary about it, make it very clear. Beyond that let the fun begin .
And thanks to everyone that in the present and in advance.
To anyone uploading themes: Depending on the file size you can upload it as an attachment in your post. Please use this method as places like 4shared and mediafire have limits, etc. Also I figure the easiest standardization of format would be fully rebuilt apks placed in a folder andthe folder zipped. My plan is to make an app that will automate the process of changing themes and I think this way would be the easiest for the end user and the easiest for me to build an app .
BTW if anyone wants to help build the app with me I would really appreciate it as I am still really new to programming.

Thanks gavriel18! I know about zero java - only visual basic at the moment. I could start learning it though...
How do you add these themes to your phone just replace the files or something more in-depth? And I assume backing up what you replace first and also through adb?

thx for your repo.... It's a good idea !!!
Thanks for all the encouragement everyone . Please also thank the people making these themes, it's a tedious task... but worth it.

great thread, to keep it's value keep it up to date, and dated
This thread is really nice ... i got one question though ...
Whats with custom themes and updates? especially when i skin something like Timescape/Mediascape ...
if i use one of the themes here (ok i am already using one ), dont i risk that i overwrite an "updated" file with an old one?
especially if i use some very new firmware like R2BA026
thx in advance for your help guys

no i dont believe it effects the application except for the new theme effect, as only the framework folders are being modified not the source code, hope this helps
Hey folks,
I ported the Desire Espresso Bar from here when I couldn't find a working port that wasn't already made:
[MOD] Sense UI MOD - ExpressoBar - xda-developers
To the Dinc.
Note, while all versions are here, I have not tested the Froyo or pre-OTA versions, but others have.
Instructions to install:
1. Be rooted. Duh!
2. Put zip on sd card.
3. Install via rom manager, or reboot to clockwork and choose install zip from sdcard. Pretty much self explanatory from there.
Back up just in case.
I am not a themer, so this is as-is.

Wallpaper & Color
Two questions:
1. Can you post the wallpaper that is in the screenshot?
2. What do you mean by Green and Blue in the file names?

By green or blue is that when you click the app drawer/phone/plus buttons, it will be either highlighted in green or blue.
Wallpaper can be found with zedge app.
Any chance we can get the highlights to be in red to match my theme?
If someone wants to make them, I will package it.
Here is a template.
I got a purple one if anyone is interested.

Yea a red press would be awesome. Arg wish I knew how to theme.

I looked all over and could not find it. What is the name of it? Your help is greatly appreciated.
This doesn't install for me. Gives me Rosie FC's....Running completely stock ota. Deodex'd.
Im going to try removing quickdesk then reinstall and see what happens....
which one did u try?
Deodexed isn't stock.
Someone sent me the stock files so I don't know if they were deodexed or not. Doubt it. Send me some deodexed stock files and I will update it for you.
Rosie.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
"SkyRaider (Froyo) ONLY" does not work on the leaked 2.2 rom. just tried it and it's a no go. of course i did a nandroid backup right before trying, so all is well.
If I am stock DINC 2.1 am I OTA or pre-OTA?
I am also getting force closes after installing this on stock 2.1.
will this work on a senseless ROM?

No its the sense launcher lol...
I am using the version you posted over on android forums in your 2.2 rom thread... very slick man...
I haven't found any bombs yet besides the gallery... So I guess the question is, who do we need to talk to in order to get that one part fixed? I think this looks SO much better than the dated stock sense dock...
Thanks again for making this 2.2 inc friendly.
How can I get this working on the 8/1 2.2 leak it is not installing skyraider version some bad file error, thxs
In no way do I take credit for this, just found this on another section of XDA and thought I'd share. All credit goes to Daneshm90. Start making themes people!!!!!

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run Script
- The new folder is now themed
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.

Unless I am mistake about how this works, this would not work on my theme because of xml files I have edited. I would also advise caution when doing this, as some theme makers may not appreciate their work being modified without their knowledge.
Still a very nice tool to have in the box thank you
NICE!!

Open source. My two cents. Maybe some would get mad, but you cant please everyone. I think the Majority of themers wouldnt mind. The ones here seem to be happy when others take their stuff and add to it. Give props if you can of course. But with this, you cant. Considering what Android and this community is all about, i think its a great little script..Good Job! (if it works )

I don't understand the instructions, could anyone explain them clearly to me what to do? I downloaded the file and I see old and new but I want to make my CM6 Night Build 7/28 with cm6.snapv3 and I wanna put up a theme of my own, how do I do that?
hey everyone.
see the screenshots...
due to demand of my rom and people liking it, i had to upload its files here..
though was not able to make the rom.
hope you like my work..
changes:
1. well everything from a to z in looks changes......
2. REBOOT OPTION IN POWER MENU
finally its done i have added reboot to power menu and its working great..
just trying also to add recovery and download options.. cheers
here is the rom: DOWNLOAD:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5K29G62U
the blue rom is uploaded.....
please follow instructions...
1. these are deodexed apps so use them in deodexed rom only, [though some apps can be used in non deodexed rom also , but try at your own risk..
well the max that can happen is that the phone wont go past samsung logo, but still be flashable]
2.the folder system app contains the files that needs to be transferred to system>app folder using root explorer.
3. the folder system framework contains files that needs to be transferred to system>framework folder using root explorer.
4. data local has the bootanimation of nexus one so transfer it to data>local folder by root explorer.
BUGS:
has one bug as far as i know
1.during making call to someone the phone app shows that it stopped working and prompts you to force close. just dont force close carry on with your call , you wont have any prob..
if it bothers you dont replace the original phone app..(i.e. dont use mine if it bothers you)
rest all is fine.
* i havent really tested the android policy.jar file in system framework folder.
for reboot option . after i just made a change as said by lestat....
so try it.. if it doesnt work, then remove the file and place the android policy.jar original file..
*i am not responsible if you brick your phone
it worked for me very well
the notification bar looks are not like the one in screenshot..
i dont hav ethe phone so cant take screenshot now...
reserved ...
very nice rom/theme it is based on...? JPA? how did you cooked it?
Looks nice but I think that DIAL PAD has poor visibility - try with darker colour.

tried like 10 times to add reboot,recovery and download options to the power menu....
but i dont get it where the hell i am mistaking.....
anybody help please????
finaly someone is doing some modding on i5800! cheers!
well i have reached much ahead of this.............
i have added many codes to the system files in order to add reboot,recovery, download options......
RESULT:
1. no reboot/rec./download options
2. but the phone shutdown and startup time was reduced considerably....(accidental finding i suppose )
Any other advantages or is your rom just about the look?
Deodexed? Pre-Rooted? Changes in Filesystem?
On what FW is it based? What kernel is in use?
What's the source?
Changelist?
Its looks cool
what are the advantages pal and is this ROM only for LOOKS?
Can you please include the advantages
Good Job pal we all appretiate your work.
A suggestion:
Blue icons for the notification bar?
hmm you added reboot option in power menu!!! thats great!
i hope that one day programmers like The Dark Lestat, Gsam101, abhi0n0nakul, motafoca, apollo5801 and others (sorry if i didn't mention someone) unite, combine their knowledge and create something perfect for our i5800...
