Hope this is ok being posted here jus tryna get this thread out to get help with my guide on (THEMING ) a rom. i figured it was cool to because the rom i am using to customize in my guide is a cm 507 test 5 rom and devs traffic through all day long world wide.so forgive the mistake if misplaced.
hi names b6gsix and i created a document to be used as a guide or a list of files used to customize a rom. Document Page. By customize i mean only to change the look of a rom to your desire ( THEME ). i recently was told about the " how to create your own custom android rom video " and i watched it installed virtual box, installed kitchen, edited rom,signed and flashed ( NOTE TO NOOBS THAT VIDEO DOESNT SHOW HOW TO MAKE AN ACTUAL ROM ). My thing was i wanted to do more to the rom, i wanted to add my own default wallpaper and a different app drawer tab and launcher and i wanted to add the black notification bar to my rom and add desired custom icons. But the kitchen in virtual boxes ubuntu wasnt cutting it. it only allowed very basic/limited options as far as customizing a rom.
so i began a search to learn what i needed. then a couple days ago i pm'd a couple a members here on xda and asked how do i do this and i obtained some pretty good information on how to do these things ( my rom came out f'd up still cause i got to adding all types of stuff to it lol ). but the answers i got along with my special-ed rom mishap (which did flash but was jus so all over the place looking) inspired me to find out more about how to fully theme a rom.
Most forums or threads i came across were piled up with info on top of info so much that it scared me from even tryna learn what to do. so believe me when i say i plan to make this a [GUIDE FOR NOOBS LIKE ME] lol. ( BY USING SEARCH TYPE" HOW TO USE METAMORPH " FOR A EXCELLENT GUIDE ON THAT METHOD ) and goto youtube and search for emogamer's how to use metamorph video.
Anyways i talked enough i think i hope all devs/mod's/ppl of knowledge contribute to the next generation of android devs or themers at least lol.
So, you want to make a community rom? The title says "How to create a fully custom rom" but I don't see any guide here just something about wanting to make one. Why make a guide if you can't even cook a rom yourself?

Sounds like hes talking about theming, "change launcher" and all that other stuff.
well i appologize if not using the correct terms but im looking to take the cm5 rom and add my touches to it ( ex: wallpaper icons launcher font colors ) make it my cm5 rom.
and my purpose for posting it was so that members with experience and knowledge could help the new comers to g1 developement learn how to theme or customize there rom.
also i had watch a video on theunlockr com and it was suppose to show me how to create my custom rom in ubuntus android kitchen. but it was so so so limited as far as functionality and options. so i set to find out how to actually change the look. cause i like darkstars notification bar with the gray icon color and battery and his black pop up box outline with the text box white background u kno jus rndom parts from different roms i flash on the regular.
i think thats why i flash roms is because of the special feature that one has or a certain look of a certain part u kno lol
please help pleaseeeee help thanks

Look, dude the reason why some people are bashing you is because you're making a guide when you, yourself, do not know how to make a cooked rom yourself. You even said it yourself. This should go in Q&A as this is just a re-worded question disguised as an guide IMO.

All roms have a bunch of walls, but the launcher has a smaller mem footprint when there are no inc walls.You would need to rebuild your own launcher based on cyan's.

Thats the same thing I would like to know.
it looks good, seems like made a lot of tweak. Just like the previous said, the video were showing the review of go launcher ex instead of the importance (like the benchmark). quick response might due to the clean setup.
Anyway i would download it and have a try. thx for sharing cezzarmicu
Hello
I'm am the one who has putted it avaiable.
It's a full rom! The video shows the Launcher, but shows also the avaiable memory of the phone after the first boot!
It isn't on XDA developer because i need to reply to 10 post to be able to post on Development Section!
The rom is very stable, fast and smooth!
My best regards!

Looking forward to when you can post it here already so there can be a support thread for it

Isnt there anybody who is using this rom? Is this a hard question?...
this is based off v21a or 21b?
It is based v21a custom rom..applying a font type to custom roms is a problem?
so far so great but there is one problem i found i use natwest app alot to check my balance on the go and this rom wont allow me to do so if i do it crashes before it shows your balance...

This font looks like Sony Sketch EF, it´s also my preferred Android font. Download the ROM and get the font in /system/fonts inside the ZIP. It´s easy to install, and there are lots of threads here and in other forums explaining how to replace Android fonts.
Basically, you need to have the device rooted, and remount /system as writable (adb remount should do it). Then replace DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSansMono.ttf with the font of your choice in /system/fonts, and reboot. Replace also Clockopia.ttf to change lockscreen clock font.
To make things easier, download Font Changer at Market and follow the instructions.

HI,
i found the MiLocker app.
it can apply a lockscreen for all phones, stock/rooted/CM or whatever rom/FW it doesnt matter
http://app.miui.com/index_en.html
you can also get it from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.miui.home
here is the link and you can apply all the .MTZ files from XDA and else where
i tried it and it is amaing
have fun with this app
!! Warning !!
Hdpi only
If you user with mdpi you can still unlock with menu she volume up button simultaneously
Does this work for un-rooted phones ?
Thank you.
Thanks for share mate
@ agonn
yes it works
enjoy
cheers,
SX
Thanks for the fast reply.
Downloading it...
EDIT: Works on Galaxy MINI.
There are some troubles, as at times it doesnt work that well, and it keeps showing the original lockscreen fora a sec, but overall has a lot of themes, and its good.
Thank you.
How do you apply .mtz themes in Mi Lock ? I thought it was impossible all along ...
Does it work on froyo rom.........?
And also can give me another download link...

Remove .jpg or .png from your wallpaper and put it in sdcard/MIUI/wallpaper/
Then choose it
This is only for HDPI can somebody port it on MDPI? please and thank you.

Yeah, this is only for HDPI.
Should mention in the first post or in the thread tittle.
Applied a theme and than couldnt unlock my phone anymore since the unlock button was somewhere where the phone couldn't show. Had to reboot it.
I think this would save a lot of time to people who are not on HDPI.
Agonn did you try any theme from Miui lockscreen thread? I have phone as you but can't test it right now... Look for the other milocker thread here and there's a link to theme thread.
Slide(it)d from my crappy galaxy mini
where I can download .mtz file?
You can download mtz files from xda. There are many threads that offer miui lock screens. Just look in the themed thread
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Amazed to say the least! Thanks a lot man.. always wanted this being a non-miui users.. kudos for sharing!
Perfect...
Yeah that's it...
Wonderful.
But one request, you know there is a small thing in lockscreen in MIUI, torch...
Long click in home key opens-up torch for quick access.
Could this be adaptable or not to non-MIUI roms?
it's work on mdpi,but the themes are only for hdpi

As I said, this is probably not good for MDPI phones.
It works but you can't use it since the themes are all for HDPI phones, and if you choose the wrong theme, you will have too reboot your phone in order to enter.

If you go to settings, it's clearly written that you can press back key + volume up to unlock if something goes wrong.
I open this thread to make themes available for the new Launcher 360
See this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601
for the launcher.
I also make a poll to make clear which MUI themes or any other theme needs to be modded to make available on the 360 launcher, they are everywhere available
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249352&page=3 for example.
If people like a MUI theme available on the above thread or somewhere else please post them here in this thread with a request to port to 360 launcher, after that i make a poll to make the most chosen theme in the poll available for the 360 launcher.
Cheers
Hi to all that visite this page to see if there is a update, as you can see there are not many voters, so i still wait for more voters and it must be at least 40 or else i will not make any themes, just making a theme for 5 people is way to much work.

I am busy with a lot of new icons for most of apps, this is a lot of work so it will take some time, but i will do my best to have it available as soon as possible.
But let it be clear you need to give me a link/url where i can find the icons, i dont like to search for them as i think i put a lot of time in this for you guys to have them available, so all i ask of you guys or girls to follow up on that.

Which theme did you install, some themes are edited from the original one, so that is why you get that, so just uninstall and install the one you need.

I understand that i9003 is ur 1st android device but dont u think that u are acting like a super noob??? I advice u that u 1st do some homework related to our device functions, its limitations, its advantages etc. Only throwing threads for every little doubts is not a good idea. I will suggest that u creat a thread & mention all ur problems. I will happily answer everything there But dont creat too many threads.
Anyway regarding ur questions, our phone is hdpi & it DOED NOT support theme chooser. Theme chooser is only in cm7 or miui rom. I hope u got ur answers.
one more thing i need to ask is that i have the miui launcher so i need to ask i found some miui themes .mtz file in forum so can we install that theme or is it only for miui roms?

I dont think so. Where u got miui launcher?? Actually miui launcher works only on miui rom. I think u are using a launcher which has just miui launcher look.
