I'm assuming you're referring to screenshots posted of homescreens and such. Many of these are the look of the custom ROM's they have installed, others are themes they have flashed or installed.
The look of your phone is totally customizable and individual. If you are running a Custom ROM check in that thread or with others running that ROM for themes that run well with it.
If you only want stock without a custom ROM. You could start simply by long pressing on the homescreen of your phone to change wallpapers and such.
You can also try downloading a launcher from the app store such as go launcher which will give you a ton of themes and customizing options.
For ringtones notifications and such I've heard zedge is great (available in the app store) Although I've only used it for wallpapers.
Good luck.

I'm extremely new to tweaking around with my fuze and I was wanting to install a theme found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512584
But what I'm concerned about is if I don't like it, can I go back to the old AT&T default theme with no troubles? And if so, how?
Okay scratch that, I try to install the theme but only some of it works. I don't know if I have the right ROMs or not but it says to flash it to a certain ROM. And instead of that theme I decided to go with this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492274
Can someone give me a little walk through on how to do this successfully? It'd be VERY helpful if someone walked me through on how to get this theme to work. It seems that when I install them only bits and pieces of them work.
Any help??

What rom are you using?
I'm using HTC's most recent update for their ROM (5.11.502.2 WWE)
C'mon someone please help me with this.
you can go to the diamond forums, or stay here in the raphael forums and look at several themes to your choosing....and instructions for the themes are normally provided.
Any time you install a theme you can always uninstall it by going into the "remove programs" section of the phone or performing a hard reset. If you are just talking about the wallpaper, it automaticaly asks you if you want to use the stock one when you go to change it. Hopefully this helps!
No what I'm saying is when I install that theme only bits and pieces work. Like the clock for it doesn't work correctly and the task bar and the slider bar don't change.
Maybe it might be because you have other specific custom clocks etc installed and it overrides the ones you have in the theme? In that case you may need to uninstall the other custom ones first. Just a hunch, I don't know if thats the case for sure.

No because I haven't installed anything like that. The only things I've installed are Advanced Config, PHM Reg Edit, Google Maps, Skype, and Skyfire. Nothing else other than the update for HTC.
Would it be because of the ROM maybe?
Hey guys, I downloaded the new iDroid ROM from iQ22.
I like the Rom!!!
I also like the widgets from the newest JACxROM.
So what I did is:
I put the widgets from the JACxROM into the new Rom from iQ22 called iDroid
I then added a couple of games, ringtones, and notifications.
Nothing fancy here, I just thought the widgets alone would improve iQ22's new rom. Tell me what you think
Of course I deserve no credit at all.
I just cherish the opportunity to be able to post a rom on XDA Developers.
I added:
1. AutoRotate onOff
2. AutoSync onOff
3. Bluetooth Toggle Widget
4. Brightness Toggle Widget
5. GPS Toggle Widget
6. Lock Pattern onOff
7. Ringer Toggle Widget
8. Weather & Flip Clock
9. Weather Large
10. Weather Small
11. Weather Tiny
12. Wifi Toggle Widget
All credit goes to the "Pro's" JAC and iQ22
I plan on, in the future, doing a lot more work of my own.

This is the updated ROM with the camera, and camcorder apps working.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123681888/26d73588/TommysRom_fixed_signed.html
For those of you who like the Maxisma v2 ROM I added the same widgets to that ROM. Somehow it's probably the fastest rom I have run to this day.

Why is it the people think by changing the color, fonts or adding widgets and apps they can label it a new "ROM"
This should be in themes, wallpapers AND APPS
How should I label it? Honestly I dont know!!! I just thought the widgets alone would make the rom better. I will re-label it!!!

Hey its just my opion, leave it as it is and IF the MODS think it belongs somewhere else they will take care of it.
Its just one mans opion (mine) thats all.
For all we know Im wrong
good job. also i think this is the right section. most of the "new" roms on here are just regular roms modified with new themes, widgets, ect. no point in reinventing the wheel.
will look forward to the next rom you customize

I'm not sure how this can be labeled a theme.....
A ROM is a ROM, even if it's just modded.

Yeah I would not be offended if it was removed, or moved to a different area. I just got excited, my life in the last 2 months has revolved heavily around the android.
You guys are awesome
I just want to say that all the roms comming out just keep getting better. I thought I would be set with just iq22, so I flashed, and not even 24 hours later we get an even better version.
Thanks to all devs who make this possible

You changed very few things from my theme... A link to it or mentioning my name would be nice... Even the theme's name is similar... :/
I don't want to discourage you from theming but I spent a lot of time making all of those icons.
I updated mine recently too, and will continue to. Check my sig...

I wouldn't mind if you use all of the buttons & status bar background, or just certain icons in the status bar, or just the dialer,etc. using pieces from other themes is how we all get started.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

thought id try help.. been a while since ive used 2.1 though! lol (this was like the early 2.1 update we first got before all the roms came out)
1) i reckon the menu button background thing is most likely lurking in framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
2) the background from the launcher is probably in launcher.apk somewhere although i used to use adw launcher so never really looked into that.
3) as for mediascape background it should be in mediascape.apk although im sure theres some background in there maybe from playlist section or something else where theres a separate background file. cant remember in which apk ul find it but i think it was along the lines of the timescape or framework-res apk's!
some help i am lol sorry.. but if ya wanna look at the old work i had and maybe figure something out then feel free to do so. link should be in signature below if needed!
hope it helps!! good luck

launcher pro is the best launcher ever, it can be exactly like vanillia android but is 1000x more customizable and powerful and free
.... did I mention it is free?
I guess I did
Though it's free there's a paid version (launcher pro plus) with more features. The most useful feature in the paid version must be resizing widgets ;-)

I am also looking for this, I have tried Launcher Pro/ADW and lots of Gingerbread themes etc but I am always left with SE icons and not stock.
Anyone know the best way to get stock icons? (rooted and bootloader unlocked)

ohhhh.... yea nothing is going to help you with that except custom roms or some serious surgury of the apk's in /system and you don't want to mess with that I promise you.
there are some apps to change the icon link on your home screen, but in the app drawer it will still show the old icon. Not sure anyone is going to help you with that less a custom rom be involved

ok thanks for that it seems pretty cool.
Hoping there might be one or two of you out there that would be willing to help or teach me how to create themes that can be applied using theme chooser. Also I have a boot animation that I have made from a video clip that needs some tweaking. Currently choppy and sluggish.
If your interested please PM me.
If you check in the main android forum there are several guides on how to make those themes.
I'll keep looking. So far all the ones that I have found require a knowledge of xml which i am still trying to learn.

You can make a theme on the Go Launcher website... It requires you to have ether Google Chrome or Firefox..
the only issues that I have found with this website is that you can't change how the notifcation bar stuff shows up.. like if I wanted to make the battery look different than the stock one... I can't do that on the website.
Go Launcher Theme Factory
http://gotheme.3g.cn/golauncherthemefactory/main/jspController/welcome.html?locale=en_US
I have been using it to kind of organize the images that I want to put in the theme... I will be themeing a Rom when I actually start the process but I have been using it to load in the backgrounds and the icons that I want to use and seeing what looks good. Once I find what I think looks good then I move the files into a folder that I name and I make sure that the name on the theme in theme factory for quick reference so I can see what it looks like.
Theme Factory hint... if You make a theme that is good enough and submit it they will sell it in the Market!..... opps... Play Store.
Uot kitchen is the best I've come across.
Just follow the directions and play with it ,learning as you go is the best way.
Although you can't theme app icons,you can theme everything else including battery to windows and dividers,fonts,animations,status bar,etc.etc.
