Hi guys,
I have a touch pro and I try to edit the skin given with the Naruto V6 Rom (TF3D 2.1). I just want to put a little bit color into it ^^.
Could you explain me how to do? I tried with Manila Editor 0.2 but 98% of the files are like "encrypted".
Thank you for your help.
Up please...
How could I modifiy a TF3D 2.1 skin please?
I wanted to modify a cool skin that is a bit too dark for me. So, is anybody know where I can found the icon we can see over the sms tab when getting a new SMS? (The circle with the numbers of new SMS received).
I've checked out the Buuf theme for iPhone lately and I find it very catchy. I'm sorry because I'm not an iPhone fan and I've only come to know of such theme lately. Can anyone here try to make a complete skin out of Buuf icons and buttons? As if overhauling the Sense UI and replacing all the buttons (ie Sense audio buttons, video buttons, camera etc), sliders (main slider, audio slider, messaging slider etc), clock even miscellaneous tabs (ie settings and everthing within). So... what do you think? *sorry... for being kinda nervous. This is my first request post in Themes and Apps for HD2*
I haven´t seen the Buuf theme for WinMo, but for Android...
However, did you check this great theme here? Not that it is the same, but it somehow seems to have that kind of "design"...

Yeah... I've checked it out. I love these cartoon-ish themes like Buuf and Fallout by StarView. I wish there are more like Super Mario, Zelda and stuff like that. Can anyone tell me which software you need to create a theme for Sense UI? Because I really want to learn to create a theme and pack it into a CAB and share it with everyone.

You can actually make your theme with any graphics software which can save in png format (mainly because of the transparency capability).
Once you´ve done your creative work, you can convert your pictures with m9editor, or CFC GUI, and then use cab maker software to create the installer (there are some free apps).
To make things easier for a start, to learn about manila file namings, resolutions etc., I suggest you take any cab of any theme you like, unpack it (with a program like MSCEInf - CAB Analyzer) and see through all the files with CFC GUI - with all this data, you can jump quickly into theme making.
PPC Geeks have the icons
Popdog54 posted all of Paul Davey's art on PPC Geeks (see link).
All of icons are there. I downloaded them and put them on my HTC HD2 storage card and then used an icon changer to change most of the icons.
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=77485
the Buuf theme is indeed very catchy and would look really good on HD2.
ajt320 has already posted the link to the icons.
I also found Buuf-esque slider icons, made by 12aon. Check the post 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437405
The slider icons were made for TF3D, so they should be modified to use in Sense 2.5
and there is also Way Out There Transparent Slider here http://ppcmods.com/sliders.html
the style is quite similar to Buuf's
Cheers
Buuf Theme based on Buuf icons made by Paul Davey (aka mattahan - http://mattahan.deviantart.com/gallery/)
Buuf analogue clocks (Sniper-wolf)
Buuf digital clocks (Rawrscary, Degake, Sniper-wolf+Degake background)
Buuf icons (Rurph) - a mix of Buuf Deuce icons, the shape of iReflect icons and the backgrounds made by popdog54 (ppcgeeks)
To replace icons, you need to use either JWMD or CSMI icon changer. links are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589459. short tutorials on how to use these apps are in the respective threads. once you have replaced the icons, you will need to delete Sense icon cache. for that use Sense Icon Cache Clearer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662233

Buuf hq wallps/HD wall cabs (Rurph, Franwella)
To have the same background (as on the homescreen) on other tabs, you need first to install the right version of Cookie's patch for the manila version you are using. the patch can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
After that you need to install one of the hd wall cabs, choose the cab of the image you like and install, you will get the same wallpaper on all tabs + a high quality wallpaper on the home screen
Buuf people, internet, calendar, music, weather tabs (Rawrscary/Degake)
For these tabs, check post 6 (there are all-in-one cabs for manila 1921 and 2012). Those having problems with the robot image not showing up in the calendar tab, try one of Rawrscary's calendar cabs (see post 7)
Buuf email tab, endscreen, volume control (Degake)

Before installing any parts, please back-up your phone just to be on the safe side
Big thanks to CJ Lippstreu from pocketnow.com for the video review
Frequently asked questions:
Q: Is there an all-in-one cab for this theme?
A: At the moment there is no such cab. The reasons are first, we have made several versions for the same parts (like analogue/digital clocks, sliders), so people can choose the one they like and second, since we are still working on the theme, it is easier for us to deal with any bugs/problems having seperate cabs.
Q: Will there be an all-in-one cab?
A: Yes, once we comlete customising all parts.
Q: Do I need to install Cookie´s Home Tab first?
A: Apart from the analogue clocks/cht-addons, you don´t need, but it is adviceably to get the full advantage of your phone and the theme.
Q: Do I need to have Manila/Sence 2.5?
A: Yes
Q: How to install the parts?
A: Download a zip file to your pc, extract & copy a cab file to your phone´s internal memory or storage card, using a file explorer on your phone find & tap that cab file, install it on the device and then soft reset/restart your phone.

There is also a matching slider out there that matches. I think it is called way out there or way out there 2. Sumpin like that.
Thank you guys, much appreciate your support
The theme could be ready soon, just need to find an expert who will be willing to customise the taskbar, stock flip clock, slider and any other stuff that can go with the theme

woow it's very cool man look great
keepup agreat work

Wow! Looks great so far mate
Hi... I remember requesting a Buuf theme couple weeks back and I'm thankful that some people out here shares the same idea with me. I'm hoping that you'll be able to make a complete theme like the GTX or Fallout theme out here with the slider bar as well. However, is it possible to change the stock icons to the Buuf icons by overwriting the stock ones in the windows folder or something? Because I hesitate to change it with the icon changer software and it's kinda like a waste of space by having an additional software just for the icons? Secondly, I believe by using such app I need the new icon files to be kept in the phone or the SD card. But still I'm happy enough that you're developing a theme based on Buuf. Thank you so much and can't wait for the full release.
Looks different, nice work
Thanks man, doing my best

Hi leewenxu,
Yeah, I saw the thread you started, even posted some links there
Frankly saying I have no idea whether you can overwrite the stock icons. Personally, I installed JWMD Icon Changer, which is very easy to use.
As regards the free space, yeah the new icons will take some space on the internal memory or storage card, depends where you keep them. I keep them in the storage card and they take around 5-7 mb not more. Even if it was like 100-200 mb, I would still change them, since I couldn't stand the stock icons
But I guess it is a personal decision
Thanks for your support by the way

I have posted a new screenshot with the new icons I have made today
not common=good. Nice work..!! I really like the icons.
Looking good...
Top work so far!
Can't wait for more - then I will have the hard time choosing BUUF over FALLOUT
EDIT: A BUUF slider request can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6521515#post6521515
Buuf slider
here's a quick slider I put together, It's still missing footprints, face book and twitter icons so if you have them i'll happily add them to it. Let me know if you want me to change / move the icons around. Also what do you think of a slider bar something like this?
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a minimalistic black and white or black and light grey theme for ANY ROM.
I have zero graphical abilities so if anyone wants to take this up, it would be really appreciated.
Looking for a black background based theme with a numerically written battery without any background image (essentially the CM battery).
To make it super epic, if the theme was for devices set to 160 DPI, it would totally be awesome, if not then oh well.
Do It Yourself
If you know exactly what you want then you should try UOT Kitchen. Just Read the "How To" section first and you will be on your way to developing your first theme. Be sure to extract the proper files(SystemUI.apk and (framework-res.apk) from the ROM you are running to a familiar folder BEFORE you select "upload files" near the end of the process. This will save you time and will keep the files readily handy for your next cook. Regernate previews after each mod selection to see how it is looking. Search the forums for more on this subject, good luck! You can do this.
Hey guys so I rooted my sidekick and started using Glorious Overdose V2 ever since and love (almost) everything about it. The one thing I hated was the color scheme. The blue on gray style of the icons can be very hard to read IMO and doesn't really look that good to me.
So, I took it upon myself to create a nice little theme with icons that are all bright yellow and green. I think it looks pretty nice for the most part (although some of the icons are a bit pixelly as I am not a photoshop guru) and looking at the icons is certainly much easier than it was with the original theme.
The .zip I am uploading contains the .png's I modified (I didn't take the time to edit EVERY icon) taken from /System/framework/framwork-res.apk --> /res/drawable-hdpi
All icons have their original names and I assume it should work with any ROM for the sidekick.
Please post here with any questions/feedback. I will probably be updating this pack in the future as I decide I want to change more. Also, if anybody knows how to put these into an .apk or a flashable update.zip please feel free to post that here as I'm a noob and don't know how to do those things lol.
