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

MUST HAVE ROOT
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?

AND YOU WELCOME
Good work, please keep up-to-date as you can
Thanks bcool15 duh I was actually looking at that thread earlier too.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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.
@HunteronX Let's make learning android a group effort. We have some good mentors on this forum and two heads are always better than one
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
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.

I likey
Oooh... ,
sent with my evo from a secret place
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 )

If you are just using images I would say metamorph is the only option I know of that can replace files in .apk on the fly. Its not a flashable zip though.
Give this a try... this will port png's from one rom to another. you just need to pull the framwork-res.apk and resources.apk from framework from your rom and put it in the "new" folder. and put the same apk's from the theme you want to port in the "old" folder, both under the framework folder with in the "new" and "old" folders. and run the script.... there are also app folders for any themed apps that you want to port also.... same thing with those, yours in the new and the themed ones to port in the old.... Just remember, these are only png ports, you still need to do xml edits if there are any...
this is not my work, found it here on xda a very long time ago and don't remember from who but thanx to him or them......

Hey guys! As you may know... The latest OMNI ROM 4.4.2 by Team Canjica runs on TWRP.. and many CWM Mods and zips is not able to be flash due to some error ( idk) Hence I extract META-INF from a TWRP Zip by Tesla.. his task manager zip... which works beautifully by replacing the META-INF of the zip you want with the META-INF extracted in the download section below
Please hit the Thanks Button ! It's FREE DD
P.S. Extract the META-INF from the zip below
I think that this thread has nosense. That META-INF from Omni task manager is the same as other task managers, no changes inside except line that says for what ROM is.

I really appreciate the fact that you took notice of my humble post The root of this post was because of a mod I used.. hopefully you know about Pure Audio 2.0 Golden Edition! It uses a different META-INF which does not allow me to install it.. Although the recovery state that it is installed... the files in the /system/lib and /system/bin were not there.... and I really enjoy the fantastic sound. So I installed you task manager and it worked fine... so curiously I extracted the META_INF in hopes that it is some META-INF error and paste into the pure-audio mod! It works! :fingers-crossed:
So I spreaded this news around... I know this may be a Junior Member speaking but I really hope you would not say that this is nonsense as it really insulted me a little... If it really were nonsense I would have gladly not post it up... As you can see from my post history.. I don't post nonsensical stuff.... I don't know much about developing or building from source and you were my IDOL! But I really hope you could give me a little respect for me I do not mean any insult but hope you can continue supporting the device

If you check both updater-scripts you will see that in base both are the same. The one from here, and generic one for CWM.

Maybe it is the googlemeta from META-INF/COM/android/metadata I do not know exactly what is it but you can try flashing the Pure audio mod with the unedited meta-inf and the one extracted from the task manager zip.... The purpose was also for some senior to teach me what is the cause of it. I know I am inexperienced hence I really would hope someone could prove me wrong and let me learn

My thinking is that someone who made flashable zip forgot to write code to mount some partition that was needed and in CWM it was mounted by default and in TWRP was not. I am not 100% sure that is the case, but I am 99%.

It 1.9 gb......??
You are right, it contains over 140 themes... That's also the point why I don't upload screenshots because it's simply TO MUCH.... But feel free to download the package and upload some screenshots...:fingers-crossed:
And there is nothing to worry about there is no Virus or something inside the Zip Files

Are those themes are good ? Name few of it to try in less time
No they are all crap that's why I collected them and uploaded them....I like to spend my time for nothing
To be honest.... Everybody prefers different things, likes different colors, icons and so on...
So please download the package and try it your self... If you unzip the theme you will find a screenshot from every Theme so no need to install them all....
