themes - General Topics

hey
I was wondering I use ROM toolbox for my themes is that the best place and were else can I download them sorry if this sounds stupid
Thanks
Jeffrey

As for me, I installed Go Launcher EX and then downloaded themes from the Android Market. Other launchers have free themes as well. You can give that a try and see how you like it.
Also, if you go under the forums for your specific device, there should be a section dedicated to themes and such. You would just have to flash it.
Hope this helps.

Hello!

I'm The Pope of Dope, you may remember me from my classic "Hello!" thread back in Feb.
Is there a comprehensive guide to creating a theme? I also wanted to code a launcher from scratch (but I'm going to hold off on that second idea.)

You guys throw rom out there like it means something. Is a rom a combination of Launcher + Kernel? Can we stop being vague as **** please <3
The ROM does not include the kernel. It isn't too hard to go to the wiki and look up the terms yourself. I believe reading into the development for more-developed phones (such as the SGS) would help tremendously in what you are aiming to achieve.
If you want a launcher + kernal , Just go with Smooth Maximus RC1 V1.0 , & flash Bali V1 . Come in my thread for help .
Please search XDA/Google before posting generic questions in the Development forum.
ROM=Read-Only Memory, it is a full copy of the system files that are usually tweaked. This can be a small change like a theme, or a large change like an entirely different OS.

second thread on a search of 'theme guide' on XDA.
Can we get a mod to move this to the General forum please?

[Q] Hello, I am new

Hello, I am new to the smartphone world and I have been reading threads on here for a few days and decided to join since I got a infuse. I have ATT. and I dont understand how to download themes from this site to my phone. I am sorry if this has been asked before but I have no idea how this thing even works. Its funny when the Iphone came out I was all over it and loved it and then switched to a blackberry, now with this phone I feel like I am in the dark. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Thank you. I read that and I still have no idea what that stuff is. I just want a different theme, and I thought I could find it in the market but its only wallpapers. or am I missing something?
If your just wanting a theme download go launcher from the play store and then download themes for it.
In market/Google Play download Go launcher or AWD launcher to change main themes. I prefer AWD myself more things to tweek in settings. Once downloaded you can search the market for premade themes or create your own with a plugin for Go
If you want to change things like contact themes or dialers, I use Go contacts Ex. Same for SMS layout. Go has a Go SMS Ex and Go keyboard. All ive metioned are fully customizable and free. But some premade themes are pay
Hope this helps to get you started

Another Idea ...this is what I did before taking the plunge into these awesome custom ROMs,
YOUTUBE, do a search there for Samsung Infuse and themes for the android 2.3, you can get a great idea and some videos post the links to the market...
Just a idea, that's what I did...
BTW welcome....
Short Explanation
I'll try to keep this simple since I was a newbie recently lol
ROM - basically all the software on your phone, your entire OS, since you have ATT, you have:
stock ROM (unchanged), Android 2.2 Froyo (OS name)
Kernel - the drivers to make the hardware and software click, you have:
stock kernel (unchanged)
Developers edit stock ROMS and tweak them and release them for eveyone to use. Often, they release themes for them. To change your ROM, you have to:
-root (get administrative access, jailbreak for Android)
-get recovery (where you can flash ROMS, kernels and stuff) (flashing is another way to say installing)
-download a ROM, follow instructions and flash (install)
-download a theme FOR THAT ROM, follow instructions and flash (install)
If im missing something, let me know people thnkz

Themes
I have had very good results with the GO EX Launcher. There are all kinds of add-ons and themes you can get for free (tons more paid). You can also download an app called Zedge that will help you select wallpapers, sounds, and ringtones for free to finish it off. Enjoy!

AOSP Apps

I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 from VZW. It's the first time I rooted since my OGDroid. I was wondering if it's possible to run stock AOSP Google Apps with the stock touchwiz rom. There are a few things I like about Touchwiz (believe it or not) and I really don't want to install a ROM right now.
My question is can I install things like the stock AOSP Jelly Bean dialer, launcher, and messenger app on the stock ui? If so, where can I find them? There seem to be a lot of apps claiming to be stock.
No dialer, but you can have the launcher from the okay store: nova, adw, and apex. As for messenger yes you can head to the theme and apps and you'll find it there.

MOTO X LAUNCHER Lost in the wild!!!

This is not your regular "I want a launcher..can I have one please!" thread...
This is an urge to all the great people here at XDA...I had got hold of the Moto X launcher and the apps too! But I have been searching it for weeks now and not able to find it again! I have gone through all the forums, all the search links...nothing!
All I remember from the forum is.. the dev who had ported it said "The Moto Assist apps aren't working yet..so flash at your own risk..."
The Launcher was a fully functional, launcher..I had even shown it to my friends...the thing is, I flashed another ROM and the launcher is gone+ the downloaded files...can't find it again...
Can anyone PLEASE be kind enough to source it out..one more piece of memory..It WASN'T a system dump..It was a Launcher + Apps thread ...
Please..can anyone help me with it..??
Thanks!
