I'm not a good developer. I wish I could contribute in that respect. But I made a few wallpapers so I thought I could share this with you guys.
BTW, can anyone point me to a good lockscreen/wallpaper rotation app (my idea is to get a bunch of lockscreens and rotate them every time i turn on the phone)
edit: looks like the Hardy png I submitted got converted to .jpg, which looks horrible. Here's the better version of it on ImageShack:
You will need to add a http before the thing I'm about to post because new users aren't allowed to post links.

Hi again. Here's the rest of them. Had to wait 5 minutes and post twice to get around the max 8 attachments They're all formatted so that they don't get blocked by the default SenseUI lock info bar. If you guys have a clear lockscreen for 2.1 ROMs (mainly DamageControl... does it matter them ROM, Android version, or base?)
If anyone is wondering, I just did this real quick in Photoshop - first find an image with vertical appeal (rotation is an option to achieve this), scale the height down to 455 pixels (image size), then crop the width (canvas size) to 320 pixels. Easy peasy.
Here is one I created. Enjoy

Edit: I can change the background color if someone wants.

you can use lockbot, just load your images onto lockbot and then you can have your lockscreen wallpapers plus either iphone, eclair, flan, type slider. and then you will see a new one everytime you unlock your phone. its doesnt always work for me lol. but it does most of the time.
awesome. thanks, both of you.
I have just been using photos I put on my phone for background and lockscreens.....
Is there any easy way to recover a lockbot wallpaper from a nandroid backup I made before wiping and reflashing to DC? I obviously don't need Lockbot anymore now that I have the Eclair lockscreen, but I really miss the cool lockscreen glowing-droid image I used to have.
I guess I could reinstall Lockbot & redownload the wallpaper since it's still in my market list as a purchased app, but where would the wallpaper image itself be stored? Also, if anyone knows, are Android apps all totally self-contained universes, or could Lockbot screw up my now nicely-running phone in ways that would persist after uninstalling it (kind of like how you can smoke a brand new copy of Vista badly enough to need reinstallation by trying to install a 10 year old copy-protected game)?
The wallpaper should be on your SD card under .lockbot. That is where all themes are stored.
This is gonna turn into another porn thread shortly.
I absolutely love the calvin and hobbes one from the first post. absolutely beautiful
Thanks op. Nice pictures. I like A most.
OK, so I switched to Lockbot and now I don't need to raise the pictures so high anymore. I remade the ones that are now too high and attached them. I also made a Flan-style theme in Lockbot called "MiniFlan" that's designed to show off wallpapers more than tell the time (the clock and date are really small). Attached is a preview of what it looks like. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YJ8IFWLE
Note: This theme contains a crapload of lockscreen pictures too. If you want to get just the lockscreens but not the theme, download the theme and look in the "bg" folder. You'll find almost all of the lockscreens I use right now. There are 69 of them and I love them all.
Err you know what, Lockbot is really not playing nice with my phone. I think I'll uninstall it soon.
Here are a few I collected around the web. Some are common ones but a few are unusual. I have quite a few more.
Let me know if you want anymore out of my collection.

Is their such an app that allows for a single, wide, wallpaper that scrolls with tabs? I came across HDWall but i am skeptical about using it, plus all i want is what i described above and nothing more.
such features are called panoramic wallpaper, one of android's eye candy IMHO
as far as i know, the only app that able to bring you that panoramic thingy is the HDWall, and judging by the huge number of users, it should be good and safe enough to use.
..or try searching for MaxManila around the forum, it also has the ability to enable panoramic wallpaper, but it'll also put in a lot of other features you might not really need.
otherwise, buy an android phone instead
Moved as not software release.
I wanted to know if anyone out there has got a custom theme installed for stock roms.
I seen some for CM..
I want my menu's to be dark background based but not after have a custom rom to do it.
I looked through this sub forum and seen nothing related..
Thanks if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how i can start patching it myself.
If i knew where the stuff is controlled form that would help.
I have experience doing all kinds of thing such as making a Rockbox Theme.
I don't think anyone has done any yet, I've done AOSP signal cluster and navbar mods but haven't touched the theme yet. If you use xposed "lollipop themer" seems to be popular for theming stock ROMs.
Here's a great guide and its always evolving and improving...

Interesting thanks.. 230 pages on that link wow LOL
Sadly it seems you would have to decompile a lot of apk's.
I wasn't sure if there was just some settings somewhere (in 1 place)
You would think the Android dev's would at least support some basic color theme changes right ?
I am surprised there is no built in support for this idea.
I have no doubt a lot of people out there want dark backgrounds like me.

The majority of the system can be pretty easily themed. Its framework, systemui, settings, dialer and phone. Then there's guys like team black out who do a lot of 3rd party apps and gapps. If there were more interest from the stock ROM users I'd do a dark system theme but I've done a few mods here and people don't seem to interested because of all the custom ROMs we have.
thanks for more info.. never heard of Team Black no idea what that is about but i love it already LOL
i am bonkers for patching everything i can so it's black
i'm an Android noob and getting my crash course done ahha
i had a Samsung Galaxy S3 way back for a while then broke it..
i pulled up and broke the digitizer under the glass and had to sell it for parts on ebay.
listed honestly as broken i still got $60 though
I even threw in the unused glass repair kit i had ready.
So my interests are cracking, modding / patching software usually on windows.
i have experience going back 15 years on linux but i drop it and forget lots by the time i go back to Nix.
i also have a passion for graphics modding.. i am good at editing graphic UI's and pic's etc
I did a popular Rockbox theme for the Fuze+ PMP too called Carbon.
I have the same theme on that as my Windows desktop theme and WMC theme and even on my phone. (on my old 2008 phone and wallpaper on my Moto-E)
A whole suite of digital devices that all have a theme i made
But hey guy of you get motivated and have the time go for it i bet many of us would like some black'ness
Projects can eat up a lot of time.. my Fuze+ Rockbox theme took me months.
I created icon sets and statusbar icons many i made by drawing out 1 pixel at a time with Fireworks.
anyway lol
yeah many of us use the stock rom (often with Squid's custom kernel + TWRP)
I have looked at CM and others and felt it was just too much.
i appreciate their work though even if i choose not to use it.
A lot of people do a lot on the web and share it all for nothing in return.. respect for them !

Hello everyone & welcome to my new thread dedicated to build custom themes for the LG G7 ThinQ only!
Reasons & Goals: After owning Samsung flagships for years, I got very well accustom to their great theme store that gives the user the opportunity to make their device feel and look different, but after moving to the G7 ThinQ I felt that the official LG theme store sucks a$$ when it comes to options offerings, so I decided to create my own themes.
Note: I will be adding new themes to this thread commonly. Released themes are subject to updates aimed to either fix or add features, they will be posted with revisions # & dates.
How To Apply: Download & install the apk file and go to Wallpapers & Themes settings, You'll see it there.

Great job on the orange... But when i try the stock theme it's orange too?? Even tried reverting back to the lg stock theme and then re applying the sour stock, but it's still basically the orange... Orange framework and orange icons.

Very interesting that a guy with absolutely zero theme threads in the past within a span of a couple days just happens to have 4 full themes made. Also very interesting that some things in said themes have elements that were only needed on G6 themes and aren't even needed on the G7 nor present on the stock system. I'm curious why you'd have those things there if they're not even needed and part of the G6 themes and specifically something that perhaps was found in specific G6 themes? I wonder what will happen if some of these things are compared to a few specific themes and we see if said elements/images are pixel for pixel identical? Wouldn't that be just a huge coincidence? Let me ask you something here. If you actually made your own specific image that was unique and you saw it somewhere else other than where you put it, do you think you'd recognize your own work or no?
Also very interesting that in some files within your theme , contain names of specific themes and other theme designers' designer name in them? I wonder why anyone would have a file named after another person's theme in their own theme? That seems rather odd doesn't it. Also odd that some things that took some of us a year to figure out, you've miraculously figured out with zero help in a matter of days! That's just amazing bud.
So I guess I'll keep looking and see what else I happen to find. At this point there are a lot of red flags happening and this isn't going to end well. There is a right way of doing things and then there's "the easy way". The easy way is never right, and the right way is never easy. You now have to make a choice. Either fix everything and do things the right way or stand your ground and try to deny it all and wait to have this thread shut down. I'll give you a day or two to decide and in the meantime I'll compile a list of suspicious elements to present to the moderation team should you choose door number 2.

Hello, after reading your accusations of my 4 Theme+ and asserting that I stole yours and others developer's themes, that I also I have not previous experience therefore it is odd to you this is my response.
1. Although certain files are not needed on the G7 due to a change/update on how the theme engine works, I have them there for the following reasons:
A. I also make themes for my V30 and my G6
B. Under System > Priv-App there is a pre-installed theme on the G7 called "White". That theme is a pure premium theme that under "commom" you get to see and change almost every single aspect of the phone's UI, and I used that Theme as a template because it has everything you need to make your own themes.
C. You say that certain theme colors are identical to other Devs, and that is either a bad coincidence or you got our files mixed up while decompiling others people's themes for I don't know what reasons.
2. And yes I would recognize my own work if I saw somewhere else, but how different can a Stock Android or Pixel XL based theme be, they follow a certain hue of blue and either White status bar icons color or blue, or White with a blue background. My Sour Orange theme was made by following the stock "White" Theme as a template.
3. You said that it took you years and that "of course" I don't know anything about LG's theme and its Framework because I don't post anything before, why would I? I made this themes because I have been doing it since it was introduced in the G5 & V20 I believe, I just don't usually share my stuff. Not all of us share our custom roms we make by using AOSP or Lineage OS as templates.
4. Also I see that you make themes too, and you know that it takes a lot to just make one. I made them weeks ago, I post them all at once because they work and have not UI issue or glitches. And again, things didn't take years to figure it out baceuse you have to do to learn it real good is root your LG device, Download Themes from their Store, Pull the APK's and use them as template. And if I was new at this, I would've follow this easy tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75130522&postcount=10
5. I make Themes for nothing in return because I build them for myself so why not. You make and sell yours I believe, I hope that is not the reason why you are decompiling my themes and accusing me of stealing your work, because although they still are overlays, yours are Subtractum based I believe and mine are just straight forward, and recognize you from previous LG Device "Theme Forums".

Ok so you've made your decision and are denying using other people's work without consent. There are infact specific files hidden within the stuff you posted that physically have not only another themes name written on it, but the name of the person who made it.
But nice try dodging this. Listen bud I get it. You got excited and wanted to share some stuff. But you went about it all wrong. You took the easy way out and thought no one would notice.
Here's just one little screenshot of another guys name in a classes.dex file from your theme. I can show a bunch of other stuff if you want? I'm pretty sure you're name isn't WSDeveloper aka WSteams aka bin than who is another guy who makes themes.
Want me to show some pixel for pixel pngs too where you have identical to the pixel images as other people? Or some xmls that are line for line identical? Maybe I should post the JSON file that has another themes name in it that you overlooked and forgot to delete? The reason you didn't see all of this and I did is because you didn't build from source. You decompiled other people's stuff and did it that way.
At the end of the day you took other people's work and slapped your name on it and called it your own.
You need to stop, own up and do things right without using other people's stuff. I've given you the chance to make things right and have a bit of dignity and respect but it seems you want to do what everyone else does when they get caught and try to twist things and deny it when the proof is right there.
So again you have one last chance to make things right. You can easily rebound from this and use it as a learning experience. Hell I'll even help you out because albeit I'm focusing on substratum now, I have about 30 or 40 lg themes. Btw my substratum themes are encrypted so people can't decompile my stuff lol! I assure you , that you're not the first person who's tried to do this with LG themes in general. So the ball is in your court.
I think we both know that I'm right and that I'm not bluffing or making things up here. I cannot however stand back and watch this type of behaviour continue without saying something.
So take some time and cool off if need be and decide how you wish to proceed because the next step will be to present everything in question to the mods.
So ask yourself if you want to learn some things and do it right or do it the easy way and cheat? Again I can help you but first you need to make amends.
I wish you good day now.
I thank you both for your work to give the general phone using population a place to go to truly customize their phones. But im gonna be honest, I tried Marks way of installing his alpha theme and then i tried Tetra's way and its a whole lot easier and way more convenient. I'm really tempted to not touch this argument between two contributors that clearly dont make a lot of money giving me the consumer what I want. At the end of the day seems mark is mad that tetra may have stolen work , but more so its seems Mark is more frustrated that Tetra's theme solution is straightforward, doesn't involve two pay walls and is a 10 second solution compared to Mark's which takes forever. Mark really not trying to cut you down, but an apk install and then jump to theme page is a lot better. Whether Tetra stole work or not his way forward is the one that all developers should look to.

Hi
Our phone has curved corners, but the UI not as much roundy. Unfortunately, I'm not able to create nor a rom, neither any apps. I tried, but I feel like a dog who wanna learn to write. Therefore I did some examples with photo manipulation program for my desired look to match with the phone. As I always hide nav- and statusbar, for me it's even less matching, but I guess one could like the design with bars not hidden as well. I have done system UI changes, also some apps as examples. In the next few post I let you guys see them, and if any of you is able to build apps/rom, and share the same passion, please feel free to use them as an idea, I'd be glad to see them in real one day. I know that not everybody is a fan of rounded ui, but would be a nice option, if we could change anytime the radius globally, including apps. Also, this way other phone users could also match UI with different radius cornered phones.
All right, so I have no attach button in the app, not on the pc, so I uploaded a zip, all pics I organized in a folder, so it's even better, you can just swipe to see the difference, as I did put the original as well, just put your phone in full immersive mode while you watch. Also some status and navbar mods are included to taste, for those that don't hide them ever.
Some things, before you watch:
This is a prototype, I did not do it extremely well, so please exuse the imperfection.
This is a retouch of my recent ui (custom rom) for my style, I don't mean to criticise any creator.
I know the apps have nothing to do with the system, and I cannot wait that they all redesign them, only wanted to give a taste, how nice could be.
https://gofile.io/?c=cBpMPT
Edit
As soon as I uploaded, and answered to the only comment, the attach button has appeared, I'm able to upload
But I think that even easier with the other option, as here we can't swipe.

I uploaded a zip, cus it's important to see pics as if they were your phone, with fullscreen, not sure if it's possible with a picture from web directly.
Can you upload it again the website says the file doesn't exist.

I'm not sure, but gonna have a look on pc if I still have them.
Anyway it was nothing major, just the same stuff, like aosp, but nicely rounded, that matches and doesn't cut any corner awfully as it does. Plus some others, but I'll have a look still, plus I'm working on the next verzion, just don't rush it, as pointless, only doing it when I'm bored.
Also, many stuff you can reach with substratum, that helps a bit to reach the goal.
