I am working on Greendroid, since Orangedroid is complete, even though the camera doesn't work for some reason. (I've tried to figure it out, to no avail)
Anyways, I am going to make a theme that replaces all the standard orange highlights with android-green ones, and make a few other green-themed changes. It will basically be the default theme, with green accents. It will be a few days before I get a beta ready, since I have a lot of .9.png errors to ry and fix (if anyone can help me with those, that'd be much appreciated). But if you'd like to help, or have questions, comments, etc. Let me know.
Quick teaser attached.
Looking forward to this theme.
YES!!! good lookin, i hella needed this theme
Well this looks to be suspended indefinitely, as the .9.png files I have to change don't ever seem to work. They work fine in the 9-patch program, but on the phone they refuse to stretch correctly. So unless there comes a fix for this, I cannot replace all the orange drawables like I wanted. :-/
Update: Good news and bad news people.
Good news: Stericson has come to the rescue, YET AGAIN! And figured out how to fix my .9.png files. In other words, this theme will be made, and come out.
Bad news: The source I used to make the files is based from the android cupcake build, so I won't be able to make a usable version until cupcake is released at the end of the month. But hey, that's not too long from now.

That is assuming that the rumors that it is actually being released this month are true...

Yay for the good news...
Not sure working against a dev branch at this point is going to keep you sane. Who knows how much more will alter prior to going gold. I hope for your sake only minor adjustments are needed

Here is something i through together...
Blood Splatter Theme:

**use at own risk... worked great on mine and others but there is always a possibility of brick.. although not high... i am not responsible.**
Boy, remind me never to upset you
haha - i just got done watching Halloween before starting this theme...
I will definitely be giving this a go. Who doesn't like blood? You think you might be able to get the word "android" somewhere in the second blood splatter?

Sorry worked fine on mine and my friends... try a wipe first maybe?
Okay.Now that it's been on the boot screen for 15 minutes..... the notifications bar came up.... it is bloody. But the rest of the screen is black. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I might have screwed it up.... but if not just a heads up if it's something you can fix.
Looks like a badass theme if it would work properly. I even have the Halloween theme as my ringtone. Haha

I have JF RC30 1.3
I don't really want to wipe my phone again....so I'll pass on this one. Thanks though. Keep working on it.
Simply awesome theme.
I installed this over the Ghost Black beta and it worked like a charm. No wipe needed.

that looks cool, I will be gone for a few days... an emergency came up... i will hopefully have version 2 done by next weekend and i will include this as a wallpaper... thanks!
Can you build version 2 to be compatible with JFv1.41? Decisions, decisions... Auto rotate and multi-touch browser, or a sweet sweet display.
I'm going to try my hand at doing it myself, and if I get a workable version I'll upload my zip file.
I went with the below for my wallpaper but cropped it to exclude the Zombie Girl text. Her right cheek just lines up with the right side of the center screen. If I get the 1.41 build going I'll crop it and throw it in the wallpaper section.
I did a quick hack job and here is a version of the theme with the browser updated to match JFv1.41. I left all the other APK's as they were in the original theme release.
I flashed this to my phone and it's working for me. Use caution because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and this is my first time doing anything theme related. I take no responsibility for what this files does to anyone's phone. RC30 only.
Here's what happened just in case it helps anyone in the future. When I originally added this theme to 1.41 the browser multitouch and autorotate disappeared as they should have. I created an update.zip with the new multitouch but left the browser.odex. When I applied the theme, it replaced the browser but the features still didn't work. So, I re-applied JFv1.41 to start with a clean slate. Then, I made the update.zip that I'm posting, which removed the browser.odex. I'm not sure if starting from a clean slate fixed it, or if removing browser.odex fixed it.
http://www.4shared.com/file/82469566/c5abb08d/blood_splatter_-_multitouch_browser.html
I'll try to update the rest tonight or in the next day or two. Are you still working on this theme Randum Access? I'm confused by the differences between the thread title and your last post. If you aren't, do you mind if I fork or maintain this as long as I give you credit in any subsequent releases?
Thanks again for putting this out there.

UPDATE - 03/11/2009
Finally all .9s have been working on my phone now for 2 days.
About time it is released. I am not responsible for any damage to anyones phones from this. this is for JF 1.42 rc33 only. I have not tried to port it to any other release. If you want to port it and put up a file please PM me.
2 versions available.
- I fixed the error some were getting while trying to update before.
VERSION 1 has the clock from fadetoblue (but the clock is in red)
VERSION 2 has a new clock based off the old one but redesigned with numbers on the face.
A BIG THANKS goes to DAMNITPUD for his original theme. And for letting me redesign it in red.
Coming soon FADETOGREEN.
// UPDATE.ZIP \\
ON BOTTOM OF POST
[Theme] FADETORED JF1.42 RC33 *BETA RELEASE* new clock - WIP - updated - MARCH 08, 2008
_____________________________________________________________
All the icons are finally done, just finishing up the .9s, Here is the new file with the new clock... If you want to stay with the old clock, the update.zip is there too.
_____________________________________________________________
I really like FadeToBlue, and noticed the requests the theme developer was getting for a FadeToRed theme. So in conjuction with DamnitPud I have redesigned his theme to be red....
Please note that all icons and graphics are the same, they just FadeToRed now instead.
This is almost entirely done, but due to the theme competition I wanted to put a theme up soon for all to use. If this works flawlessly as it does now on my phone I will try to port it to ADP1.1h and RC30.
This is not the first theme I have ever attempted, nor is it the first I have completed.
However this is the first theme I have made that is entirely someone elses - thanks DAMNITPUD)
A Big thanks goes out to DamnitPud for all his hard work. And allowing me to do this to his already perfect theme.
No beta yet but I cant make a post like this and not give anything so Here you go.
I will release some screenshots soon when I have more of the .9s worked out.
____________________________________________________________________
Just remember to rename to update.zip
Then restart your phone and hold HOME + POWER together to start it.
ALT + S and then HOME + BACK TO RESTART once the update is complete.
VERSION2-new-clock.zip
VERSION1-old-clock.zip
Any ideas please let me know them...
PS.
**I think the battery needs work (when it is full it looks empty cause of the red....) - REDESIGNED WITH PERCENTAGES ON THE BATTERY ITSELF. HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT, anyone want the old one let me know and I will give them the icons for it.-
_____________________________________________________________________
Good start so far with the boot screen.
beta tonight
I think I will have the beta up tonight got a long flight to NY from FLA so plenty of time to do those .9s
Cant wait to see it!
i will be waiting on the outcome red is my fav color

Ok it is past tonight...
lol just playing will be waiting on it.
time time its a wastin away
I am sorry I didnt get the beta up yet, figured I will test it on my phone for a day before dooming all your phones...
so far so good, even those .9s are nice (thanks damnitpud for the tutorial)
I will update hopefully tonight or in the morning with the beta.
Remember all the icons are the same, except the boot screen.
I have gotten the android to wave while it boots/glows.
A bit of animation history goes a long way when you only have 2 pics to edit.
Looking forward to check this out also, I might have to grab some animation info from you. Been trying to get the Vista bar to look like its moving but having a hard time with it.
Send me a beta =)
XML?
-DAMNITPUD-
you can probably change the xml code for the boot from the sdk, it would allow you to repostition the boot_robot.png and boot_robot_glow.png to the center bottom of page at that point you will have two images, if you make one image in the position you want and the other in the other (animated) position, its just a matter of making an area of the 1st image black on the 2nd image. when it fades in and out it, the black area will fade in making the image behind it unseen.
If you send me the files you are working on I will see what I can do.
P.S.
The XML edit is an idea, maybe talk to stericsson about it, as he is the only person I have seen edit so many successfully.
The animation idea will work no matter what, but you still need to reposition the images....
Just a helping hand. Thanks again for the base files, can't wait to finish and then test my theme for the competition for another week before submission.
Looks oh so nice. Still one complaint (same on as with FadeToBlue): Can we get rid of this clock and put something like glossy minimalist style clock in that theme? No offense to damnitput, i sported FadeToBlue for longer then any other theme but that clock just doesn not look right. Pretty please!!!!!
Good job on everything else though, really liking where it's going. Keep it up!
I rather like the clock and to be honest (not biased or anything) I kinda like the red one better than the blue and I am generally a fan of green (coming soon by the way) Once I have all these .9s done I think I will test it for a day or two and then release it as a final v1.0. There is not much else to do to this theme to make it better. After all it is not even my theme to begin with
I can give you a guide on how to take the clock from one them and just make the file yourself, without permission from the original creator of the clock I don't feel I should post it. But all the information is in the stick about making themes. Just go into the framework-res/system/apps/launcher.apk/res/drawables and put the clock you want into that folder, make sure to sign the launcher.apk and the update.zip before loading it onto your phone again....
PS
helps to make a copy of the update.zip you are working with so that the original doesnt get lost.
If needed PM me the files and I will sign it for you.....
Remember that this is just a skin/flavor of an existing theme.
I am going to enter my own theme into the competition its almost done.
After that I am planning a fadetogreen. I just really like this fadeto....

Hey smeyer, looking forward to the full release. The red and blue together dont look right. But for the signing, you only have to sign the update.zip, the process it uses signs each apk, then the update.zip. That was partly why i abandon'd the project. I found that out after making the dropdown for all the other apks.
Ahh you are going to make a fadetogreen too eh =) i was thinking about doing the same. But you seem to work much faster then me...so ill wait to see how yours comes out heh.
fadetogreen
If you want we can work together on the fadetogreen maybe you have some new icons to offer or something....
Icons done check out OP
Still playing with the .9s, they need to be tested almost one at a time so it is gonna be a little before that part of them is complete.

This looks really good? So is it set in stone bluedroid because IMO bluedevil would seem like such a better name Looking good though can't wait to see when its finished
Wow...nice I like the effect on pull down and pull up bars. Even though some try to stay away from that.
thanx for the feedback
Awesome! Are you planning on porting it for Cyanogen's last experimental build? I love the theme.
Thanx, ya i def want to port it i didn't have a chance to grab the template for the experimental tho ibefore it was taken down if anyone has a copy they could send i would appreciate it.
edit: got a a copy i'll start workin on it as soon as i can.

were you able to figure out the widgets for 4.1.11.1
ya i had to redo em from scratch thats why its a little diff except the new search widget i just changed the search floater.png until i can figure the rest out its a pita
it seems like they just changed all the widgets to one .9 now aint it?
yeah i noticed that and actually think it is a good move on their part since it can be annoying when something works one layout and fails on another layout.
ya i def agree much better except the search widget u can't really do much with it except solid colors

yeah i think the global search widget just looks ugly.
ya def they shoulda went with the same layout as the rest of em. have u figured out how to change the progress loading circle it seems like they changed the xmls that u edit on 4.0.4 i changed all the spinner pngs but it only changed the small loading circles the rest stayed the same
i haven't tried to mess with them , but if/when i mess with them i will let you know my findings. try asking in the progress bars/circles thread maybe someone in there has figured it out.
ight cool thanx
I don't know if ths theme is still being worked on, if it's completed, if the link is bad, or what. But, I downloaded the theme and after a reboot it just hangs on the G1 screen.
I wiped before installing this theme and the whole nine yards.
Any advice?

The 4.1.11.1 version. Tried again today. No dice. It hangs on the G1 screen for at least 10 mins or more. Admittedly I have a gazillion apps, and I'm used to giving themes time to do their thing but something just doesn't seem right here.
Hi everyone! We are currently in the middle of porting the MIUI ROM to our mdpi devices (g1, hero, magic).
We have successfully ported ALL of the pngs in all of the apks to be compatible with our devices. This was a huge undertaking and it was keeping a lot of devs from wanting to get involved. Now that this big "hinderance" is out of the way, I'm hoping some talented devs will be willing to get involved.
I have posted all the semi-ported apks (by semi-ported, I mean the images are all mdpi now) in a zip file that can be downloaded by any devs who are willing to help get the MIUI rom ported to our devices. If you'd like to download the MIUI mdpi apks, you can visit our thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858935
I don't have any dev skills, so I can't help beyond what I've already done. It is officially now in the hands of the community to take the next necessary steps to a full MIUI port. I hope that our two groups (hero and cdma hero) can cooperate in making this happen!
That is my reason for posting here.
Hope we can get this thing working!
-alex
This is great news like you said, converting all the image files to MDPI was a turn off for many devs. Hopefully some of them can jump onto this and get a working ROM for our GSM/CDMA hero's
Yes, hopefully some of the remaining dev's here will be willing to help out
I think many are busy with the 2.3 AOSP at the moment Have the MIUI devs agreed to release their source files??
On the movies I found about MIUI, you can see it's extremely smooth and fast!
If this is ported to MDPI devices our Hero will be reborn
I'll have a look at it right now.
good luck, sir.
Hmm still a big task AFAIK. It would probably be easier to port all the MIUI apks and files and what not to CM.
Well.. don't the devs have to edit every single .xml-layout-file to get the images in the right spots now?

Yes unless you do what I said and merge the MIUI apks and the CM apks but there are probably still lot's of specially made apks where you have to do that
I really hope someone completes this!!
hi man i'm really interested on this stuff! i love miui!
could i help you?
Yeah, the more devs are working on it the easier and faster it will be ported for our Hero ^^
If there is anything I can do for this, I'm ready guys
I totally agree but it seems to me like there's a lot of leg work to do so all we need is some instructions on what actually needs to be done. That way people who just want to help but are not actual devs may be able to contribute.
Are there any devs actually working on this port?

That is another viable option that we've considered. Honestly, though a fully working MIUI ROM would be preferable, a CM6 Rom that could run the miui apps would be fine as well. Better than what we have now: which is nothing.
Any new info?

So I haven't messed with themes since froyo, and even then I never released anything because I won't till I'm happy with it. I'm wondering what are the best tools for ics themes? I used gimp a lot, can I still edit stuff in there? Sorry for the noob queries this morning, will have some free time coming up and we need more themes for ics. Thanks!
Any image editor will always edit images. They are still pngs. There is still .9 patching. There are still xmls for anything outside images.
Good to know. I'm going to start messing with this soon, maybe today. I have a few theme ideas, but you never know how good stuff will look till you actually have it loaded up. Screenshots of themes don't even help me usually, I have to see it live.
I'm still way new at this so I'll see how it goes. I need to do something around here to help out the community, though.
