So I just started using Rom Toolbox last night (thanks seeker9 for the recommendation). I've changed system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor. I notice there's a theme manager. Has anybody safely used the theme manager with SuperCharged V5 or any other ROM with the Atrix 2?
I have and it bricked my phone dont use please

What specific part bricked your phone? The theme manager? ROM manager? I've only used the features I mentioned, "system font, battery status icon in the status bar, changed my boot animation and experimented with underclocking the processor". I manage ROMs with Atrix 2 Bootstraper.
BTW there are two theme managers. One called Theme Manager and one called Theme Chooser Themes. Since we don't run CM7 (or 9) yet its obvious we can't use Theme Chooser. I'm wondering about the Theme Manager though. Nothing there looks extremely compelling to me. Just curious. Not curious enough to brick my phone though. I might try Notification Backgrounds first. Anybody here try that?
I'd like to try the dialer themes too. Anybody try that with SupsrCharged ROM?

I've been using it for months and never bricked my phone once using it but changing the themes is the only thing i don't use because we don't have access to any ROMS yet

yep im using it also and you can use theme Changer without any Problems but make a Backup of your Stock theme so you can revert it sometime

I just set my phone back to Gingerbread stock and rooted it. I hate the fact that it doesn't show battery percentage. I don't want to put a Rom on my phone so is there any battery indicator mods that will change this on our phone?
search the theme and apps sections, and search the market for theme chooser themes.
one of those should be able to change that on stock ROM.

Theme chooser is only for cm7 based ROMs.
You'll have to find a flashable theme to change that... or use uot kitchen. It's very simple to use.
I have used Rom Toolbox, under Interface/Icon Changer.
UOT kitchen ftw, nothing like theming the rom your own way.

This is ONLY for the official stock 2.3.4 LG ROM that introduced the new March 2012 baseband!!
I repeat, DO NOT FLASH ON ANYTHING ELSE.
Ok so since my real first porting of a theme (which was a little of a disaster in my opinion...) I've gotten a lot better/smarter.
This port is probably going to be the final. There's honestly nothing wrong with it so far that I can tell.
I might change the drop down menu background to something else maybe. For some reason, even if you use a transparent image... it still isn't transparent for me.
I just kind of grabbed some random image for the background and used it... it was supposed to repeat itself and just kind of scaled... and doesn't look too bad in my opinion.
How to install:
Download the attachment to SD card
Boot into CWM
(Optional) Create a backup in case of boot loop
Flash the zip
Reboot device
There is no need to wipe cache or dalvik or any of that nonsense. I NEVER do, but you can if you're paranoid enough.
Known Issues:
None.
Notes:
I disabled the overscroll glow. I just personally do not like it and it tends to make the device lag when it appears.
I didn't do any .xml changes so no colors should be ugly on certain other windows/frames.
The font in my screenshots will NOT be applied to your phone; that is the font I use and it is not included in the theme.
SOLUTION IF YOUR PHONE BOOT LOOPS
If your phone bootloops it means you dirty flashed 2.3.4 onto your device which means you were on 2.3.3, then you upgraded to 2.3.4 via LG Update tool, and then tried to flash this theme.
So what you have to do (and SHOULD do anyway) is download the rooted 2.3.4 stock ROM (thanks to kwes) and do a fresh install of it (wipe data/factory reset and format /system) then this theme will work 100%.
MD5 Sums of files:
Regular Touch of ICS = b355978ec1b9d026d0d78e5b1e1509d6

CM7 Battery Mod = ad727e7b4180b4a9aaec27d2a5cbd615
------------------------------
Big thanks to kwes and Core Memory... you all should already know why by now.
Enjoy!
Looks awesome, I'll be applying this to my wife's phone later today. You state 2.3.4 but will this cause problems with 2.3.7 base roms?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Pretty good i must say. Is it possible to include ICS like notification toggles in the theme as well?
Thanks
very nice looking theme. will be flashing.

I don't consider myself a themer, and especially not a developer. You have to ask a real developer to edit stuff to get those things.

Which ROM are you running? This is ONLY for the stock official LG 2.3.4 firmware.
It will not work on any ROM other than the official.
I have also updated the OP to verify and hopefully make it more clear.
This is great

hey buru, you think you can make a flashable zip of a circular battery icon with % and ICS blue colors instead of the current one?

I don't know what could have gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with my .zip. No one else is having problems nor getting any bootloops.
It's possible you got a bad download of the file. Try re-downloading it again and flashing.
Wonder who rated this thread 2 stars :/??
OP has been updated with 2 different batteries: the circular battery by request, and the CM7 battery with the number and little bar on the right side of it.
Hey man i've loved it, can you add the CRT on and off animation, please? I want it cus the stock one when you press the button to turn screen on shows the previous screen that I was before and then go to lock screen(very fast), know what i'm saying? That's annoying, thanks for the theme!!

Thank you and yeah I know what you mean.
I've stated before that I'm not a developer, nor am I a themer; I just simply port over stuff.
I would love to have the screen off animation, and quick toggles as seen in weapon and bionix, but I don't even know the beginning stuff. I'd have to do a lot, lot of reading and experimenting... which I may do one day but work keeps me pretty busy.
By the time I learn anything worthwhile I'm sure a developer would have already made a custom ROM out of this and did all that stuff .
Believe me, I want all that neat stuff too.
Yeeeeah, I've stopped using ics roms because of little things like that, I love when the rom works smooth and fast, it would be awesome if any developer did the crt on and off animation work here, I'm missing the toggles too

Added to OP.
Is there a rom or a way to add tweak tools to any of the roms for this device?
Edit: ok so apparently its a tool only available for the Droid charge. But the reason I ask is because one the theme options in this tool is a complete ics theme. This includes status bar tweaks, apk tweaks, launcher tweaks, system tweaks that include some system files from ics to improve scrolling and app drawer performance. System settings are ics styled And some other ics goodness on gingerbread. All this in one mod available through tweaktools. I've been looking around the atrix 2 roms and there are some ics look alike roms on here but none that have themed as deep as this mod. Is there anyway of getting this on this phone. There is an option of downloading the tweak without applying for manually flashing in cwm. Could this be flashed on other phones as well? Or if I uploaded the tweak could someone here alter it to be flashed or incorporated in a new rom
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
To answer your question, yes I'm sure that it could be tweaked via a developer, However I will say that a lot of developers are holding off and waiting for ICS itself. Most have stopped developing for GB. ICS is right around the corner for us.
In the meantime you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533858

Does anyone have a list or resource for putting custom boot animations onto this device? I can't imagine other device animations will work, but I've never done this. Searching has not helped me a single iota!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I used ROM toolbox pro to change my stock boot animation.

I have ROM Toolbox Pro as well, but none of the settings I apply stick. SystemUI icons don't change, and the bootloader animation stays stock. Am I doing something wrong here?

Same here (root66 ROM).
The stock VZ boot animation annoyed me so much I wanted to punch a baby every time I started the phone & I installed ROM Toolbox (an app I normally don't use) to get rid of it.
I picked one of the custom animations, told it to DL & install & rebooted. The custom boot did not work at all, but it did get rid of the VZ [email protected] and turned it into the generic blue swirl Samsung animation with no sound which is what I really wanted in the first place.........
One thing ROM TB DID work for was changing the battery icon. All my icons where white except the ugly stock green battery icon.
ROM TB changed it to a white digital readout icon that looks perfect with all the other white task bar icons.
I have used Rom Toolbox on three phones now and the boot animations have NEVER worked for me. How can I do it manually?
If I look in the /data/local/ folder there is a bootanimation.zip but that clearly doesn't mean anything!
On the Droid Inc it was /system/media/ if i recall correctly. I looked in there, and there was bootsamsung.qmg or something. A Google search told me .qmg was a Samsung theme file. I am no themer but that may be worth a look.
Edit: ssnapier, i have checked on my phone in data/local/ and didn't have a bootanimation.zip might be where Rom Toolbox is placing it.

read beans post above, if you arent running a kernel with boot ani support you arent going to see it.
I know it has boot animation support now, but the reason I haven't flashed a recent version is because of the same thing that enables boot anim support. The kernel is unstable for some people.

This is my simple black and blue theme ported. It is ics blue, black, and a little white here and there. The messaging app has a few different color and different styles of bubbles, You will have to change them in the app to look like the screenshot. This has been updated to use the VRtheme system so it should now be able to be used on any TWbased rom. I have only tested on cleanrom and synergy, please make a backup and test on other roms and let me know the results so I can update the OP. Just flash in recovery, I recommend TWRP 2.2.2.0. It has to be the newest version for the VRtheme to work on TWRP. Added brightness slider addon at bottom of post, I dont think it works on cleanrom, but if the rom had it there stock it should work.
Works On:
CleanRom 2.5
CleanRom 2.1
Synergy ICS
Whats Themed:
-systemui
-framework-res
-secmms
-secgallery
-secContacts
-secPhone
Thanks to:
All the Devs for the amazing roms they make us
Thisiskindacrap for the toggle mods that we are using
Thanks to Villian Rom for their VRtheme system

It will take me a few days to get everything ported over. This is the start and for now it is the systemui, and the quick toggles. I am changing a few things here and there as I go so it wont be exactly the same as my theme for synergy, its gonna be better . Just flash in recovery.

You should always do a backup in recovery before installing any mods. If one theme doesnt work on your phone another probably wont either. You can just dirty flash the rom again to put everything back to stock without loosing your data just wipe system in recovery and flash and your data will still be there. What recovery are you using? I only use twrp 2.2.2.0 and have had no issues.
Just wanted to say that this installed perfectly on my phone. I haven't notice any issues or problems yet.
Thanks again!
Full theme ported over and updated in the OP enjoy
works and looks great....tons of thanks!!!!
