this is still a work in progress as i am looking to create a few more system icons and the launcher tab on the homescreen. i will be updating this semi regularly(school and work have both kicked up a notch recently so i will be on a little less frequently) main thing i am looking for is a good picture of sylar taking someone's head off. if you have a good pic of someone who got scalped by sylar(preferably with the head removed but i could work with almost anything) i found several pics but i don't like them since his hand is in the pic. if you have any suggestions or anything you would like to say about this theme then by all means let me know i am up for trying anything. i am still working on getting my eclipse up and running, some errors are keeping me from being able to edit .9.png images. as well as hex edits might be attempted later.
here is the link for you to download:
HEROES.zip
like i said i am up for suggestions, let me know what you think, if you are a heroes fan then by all means you HAVE TO HAVE THIS THEME
**to do
battery
random statusbar icons
FONT(big fix for those that use the calc, i am missing a few chars like minus and multiply
couple of other things that i will list as i find them, this has been a WIP for several weeks and i am finally ready to release a beta
Could use a bit of polishing/etc. And change the pull tab of Claire's cut head. Looks ugly and doesn't fit well. And I assume there are 2 of them from dxTop? If so, you should use the default home to showcase themes. Unless this is a dxTop only theme. If so, please state that.
Good start though. Big fan of the show, watch it every Monday
i know the tab looks bad right now, but it's actually really hard to find adecent pic of sylar scalping someone. i meant to use the default home screen for the pics so i will re upload them later when i get to my computer and have a different home screen screenshot. if you have an idea of something to try for the app tab then please let me know, i am up for any and all improvements.
Love the theme and will not be switching to anything else in the near future. Would love to see some more of your work. A+++
I would probably make the clock look like the eclipse. Just a thought.
edit: or how about using that "S" symbol as the pull tab and using one of the many painted artworks as the wallpaper. . .
thank you, i am now on dude's build so i will probably be making themes for that build only, and maybe port to the JF build since most users use his build. i am not sure if i am gonna port this over since i lost all the icons a week ago when i went back to ubuntu 8.10
why didnt i see this before!!!?? ... would be awesome if you ported to 1.5 .. Heroes is the the only show i have EVER watched religiously.
this was posted a while ago and i figured since i got almost no response about it, and only a half dozen downloads that it wasn't worth fixing up more or porting it. i will download my own theme sometime soon and see what i can do. i was working on a dude theme containing black and blue(i prefer dark themes) but the 1.1 got released with manup's black and blue theme so i might start over. i have no big ideas on a theme yet, just a few minor tweaks for some personal use not to be released
well it looks and IS amazing. Only theme i use.
Are you going to port this too ADP 1.5?
i will probably port to dude version and JF haykuro users sorry but i have no intention of porting it to those builds. i do not know when i will be porting but probably to the dude build soon since i am missing my theme a lot
P.S. the status bar will be black in my port as well as a couple other things

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

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.

i edited damnitpuds fadetoblue wallpapers for fadetored. i hope u like them:
these are final icons, until i want to change them again, but hope u like...
http://www.mediafire.com/?jz2dtwuumeu
the icons are the only thing that kinda look eh? if you know what i mean everything else looks tight. and i totally understand that its a pain in the ass to try and figure out what to do with the icons. i mean theres only so many pictures you can find of wolverine. i like the way you kept the status bar simple that way it looks good with any background
I can only assume that you can take any picture and chop it up and make an icon out of it since Ive never made a theme but here is a website with a lot of pix of wolverine. there are a lot of bad ass ones
http://wolverine.x-knights.com/gallery.html
thanks appreciate it, i will do my best with them, lata
Can't tell if you've already done this or not (can't view anything other than the thumbnails to the screenshots using my G1 as I am now) but if you were having a difficult time w/ icon ideas @ all... you could always incorporate wolverine's villians. most noteably Sabertooth of course, Deadpool would prolly be sick too, lady deathstrike, and maybe even his ex comrades from alpha flight since he's (in my humble opinion) the only thing that makes any of them noteable. And then there's his costume variations as well (IE classic yellow/blue, the orange/red one/ Age Of Apocalypse Wolvie w/ one hand missing, maybe even the symbiote-infected Wolverene from post-civil war pre-secret invasion comics of recent years), ::shrugs:: from what I can tell (again, unfortunitely not able to pull up the screenshots right now) it's lookin pretty sick right now man =)
looking good keep up the good work
I like it! Pretty damn cool actually... love the new movie too!
thanks appreciate it, going to keep working on it till its right.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! I luv it!
Bored @ work and jus scoped it out on my G1 via openhome. DOPE menu handle! =) I absolutely love the claws retracted/extended transition. Very solid theme once again =)
I have it installed on my g1 and I love it... props to you man!
appreciate it, glad you like it....
so u just became my fav themer...justice league punisher and this...SWEET
lol...thanks, i will be making more old skool themes...
Sory for putting this question up, but I have a nasty issue.
I totally LOVE your theme, but I'm using aHome, and your theme doesn't seem to work with that.
Is there any way that you could rewrite it for aHome, or eventually point me to some info on how I can snatch the wallpaper out so that I can plug it in an aHome theme?
Thanks in advance
well not sure how to write it for ahome, i will look into it, but i cant remember, but either ahome or dxtop has 2 of my themes, xmen and wolverine, just search the market place.
Had so many ideas floating around in my head about this one I couldn't help but use my day off yesterday to throw it together. Compiled JrBourque's blue VK for this build. worked out pretty well =)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dt5v4iytg2f/Hv1.5_Megaman_A2SD_final.zip
This is the pre-status bar version. That's my next step and I'll likely be posting an update to it w/ the status bar and notification background modded to match. Then i think I might take a few days off lol (aside from posting the Gambit theme once my homeboy tinkers w/ the clock for me). I haven't stopped since I started working on my Amazing Spider-Man theme nearly 2 weeks ago lol.
More screenshots...
Awesome. I love megaman. Great work with the icons!

Hey that music widget needs to re-signed thats why in port it's off.
Keep up the good work! Not my style but looking good.

Droppin the megaman theme out of no where, without so much as a warning! ?!??!! That's boarder line illegal

Resigned? I've never had to sign anything other than the update.
Adding the guide lines using either 9patch or if you know how to do it using CS3 and signing the .9.png using eclipse. Thats what i am talking about as far as signing.
great theme, can u port it to JF 1.5?

yeah I spent about 3-5 hours trying to get eclipse to work right. Once I figured that out I spent another 2-3 hours trying to master the skill of editing in 9patch, following the steps precisely but just couldn't get it to look right =L It was too foreign to me and I just ended up giving up in frustration. It seems what the image looks like is variable on where you place the markers on the top and left columbs. Just couldn't get the image to look right no matter what I tried. And yeah... was following damnitpud's instructions. =( I guess I'm just not naturally inclined for editing in 9patch as some others might be.
But I'm pretty okay w/ the MP3 player as long as the inner isn't stretching out of the body or anything like that. When I copy the file from a Haykuro G build into the 1.5 as I have w/ this one, it just seems to take the same shape as the default mp3 player and that looks aight by me since I can't seem to comprehend 9batch editing he he. Thanks for the feedback man.
I've seen some of your work and work by others on here and the graphic design elements of the themes puts mine to shame lol. I'm just really inpsired to make themes based on sources of influence, like Spider-man, Megaman etc. etc. =) I keep it real basic compared to most but I have fun with it and that's all that really matters in the end I guess.
Aight. Got the Statusbar done. Was tempted to dive deeper and make all the notification icons blue as well... But it looks good as is and I don't think I'd have the time to mod the 60+ images required to acheive that end lol.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dt5v4iytg2f/Hv1.5_Megaman_A2SD_final.zip
Send me the two icons ill send them back with the guides for you to see how it's done,you said you do have eclipse working?

Thanks to the help of Manup... I FINALLY have a semi-sound comprehension of editing the stretchable images (IE the images that are used for the music widget and VK among other things). Thus I'm currently working on making a custom music widget, and might change up the notification are a lil more before I'm completely finished. Once I am ill prolly make an attempt to port it to JF. If its as easy as pasteing over all my modded apks into a JF build it should be a snap (any insight/input on this from anyone else on here would be much appreciated =)).
This theme is looking nice. I know my bro would love it. Is there any way you can make one of Zero? I tend to like more the Z-Zaber than the Buster, lol..
just my .2 cents..

update -
Music player skinned. Notification background changed out. I cleaned up the image on the menu background so it's not so obvious that it's tiled and looks a LOT cleaner now. I thought that image looked a lot better than the one I was previously using for the notification background so I used it there instead as well. Here's the updated link -
http://www.mediafire.com/file/dt5v4iytg2f/Hv1.5_Megaman_A2SD_final.zip
I wanna start off by thanking Jf, haykuro, The whole community and mostly Cy for pushin the limits and still not givin up when all looks dead, Stericson for all the great tutorials and work he's done, Manup and all the great themers for the inspiration to learn how to theme im still not great but im working on it. Ok now that the mushy stuff is out the way this theme is for CM 4.0.4 Stable and Cm 4.1.11.1 experimental ONLY!! ill update as i can if u don't like it don't use it no one is forcing u to download this Im not a dev i just do this in my spare time for fun i figured i would share. If you don't like the mini me hero clock then u can use the great app by crotalusfreak in the market se hero clocks im sure u all know about it but for anyone that doesn't its a great app. Updated to cm 4.1.11.1 its not exactly the same but as close as i can get for now. I forgot to thank ohsaka for color change.jar its amazing and thanks to david1171 for supplying me with the experimental template.
Updated 10/7/2009 with stericsons lockscreen a couple fixes and blur animations for 4.1.11.1 ONLY!! will update to 4.1.999 tom when i get a chance. i know its a lil late but my computer crashed and i lost all my original files and image editing stuff better late then never tho. This update is not a full theme and MUST!! be flashed on top of the original 4.1.11.1 theme for now will be full theme next update.
Updated 10/11/2009 4.1.999, few fixes, stericsons lock screen working on version without should be up shortly, Advanced launcher, Blur Animations, works for 4.1.999. Thanks to moonspoon for his clock minute hand from gchrome and to drizzy for the blur animations.

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.
Hello :
Please understand im not a themer but I like tweaking this beast so...
Ive worked painstakingly on this for months. I mean months. For those who know theme galaxy is fabulous. But getting it down packed digging deep into the features to get your s**t the way you want it . Wow. Many hair pulling episodes and sleepless nights. Fellow tweakers understand. But id work with it for days... weeks.. then give up... wait a couple of weeks.. months maybe. But I didn't delete the app. It was just there in the back of my mind. Literally lol. Like id think of how to tame it. Take courage and try again. Everytime I thought I had it... some menu id forgotten.... or some other crap would pop up. At first id leave it. In some cases it was just a minor defect in only a few areas. Like not being able to see text or icons. But that too bugged me to be figured out.
This is what I came up with. I may be open to answering questions in between the busy schedule... or maybe you tweak it and take it further or different. Up to you. Btw you MUST have theme galaxy on your phone. I donated but don't know how this will come out on the phones of those who haven't.
Take no credit for that app.... THEME GALAXY.....btw isn't that developer incredible?!! I've understood the genius actually now that I know how to use it. Props @@ sathishtony. His work can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-themediy-samsung-galaxy-s8-s7-s6-j-t3685010
BUT I did pull this theme together using it as I think he intended. Enjoy.
I Take no responsibility if your phone blows up. But it shouldn't
Btw - BWG= black white and gray. Duh. :silly:

Like id think of how to tame it. Take courage and try again. Everytime I thought I had it... some menu id forgotten.... or some other crap would pop up. At first id leave it. In some cases it was just a minor defect in only a few areas. Like not being able to see text or icons. But that too bugged me to be figured out.
This is what I came up with. I may be open to answering questions in between the busy schedule... or maybe you tweak it and take it further or different. Up to you. Btw you MUST have theme galaxy on your phone. I donated but don't know how this will come out on the phones of those who haven't.
Take no credit for that app.... THEME GALAXY.....btw isn't that developer incredible?!! I've understood the genius actually now that I know how to use it. Props @@ sathishtony. His work can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-themediy-samsung-galaxy-s8-s7-s6-j-t3685010
BUT I did pull this theme together using it as I think he intended. Enjoy.
I Take no responsibility if your phone blows up. But it shouldn't
Btw - BWG= black white and gray. Duh. :silly:

I have spent endless hours with themegalaxy myself. You did a great job. Swift Black with Substratum since the Oreo update is really hard to beat though. Not nearly as much time and since I don't have to do the computer thing anymore it's gravy.
Thanks. My first theme actually.
I have to check out the substratum again. That sounds much simpler than all I went thru for this lol
But part of me secretly likes the tinkerers struggle.
They have added a bunch of Samsung related overlays, and continue to dial it in a couple times a week. I hear you on the tinkering. I built free and premium themes for the Note 4 til I finally upgraded. Now everything is so locked tight that it just isn't even worth messing with. Some days I'm tempted to sell my Note 8 just to get out from under the payments and go back to my S7 Edge as soon as the Oreo update hits.
Thanks. I used substratum months ago and it didn't like my phone or something I did so i just deleted. Will give it a go again. AND i know who I'll be asking for tips.
I like the theme i did in TG but there are so many areas i can't get to with it.. or haven't figured it out yet and have given up.
Yeah pretty soon i think you won't be able to modify any of the phones. Security concerns cited smh

Updated it some. Worked some text visibility issues out. Changed some colors around so the accent and main color is more graphite than grey. Think it's as close to perfect as it's going to get unless I notice issues.
Hey if anyone else created some cool themes feel free to share them.
Nice work brother.
Thanks!

Another variation. Personally like this one best.
Graphite system UI
Hello:
Could anyone that's tried these tell me if they showed all system areas properly? When I first created each I shared the apks to my wife's s9 and they worked fine with just minor imperfections ... but when I lost my files I just downloaded these and they look totally wonky now.
How can it be uninstalled?
I dont see it in apps list.

I tried downloading ThemeGalaxy and can't get any themes to load. All I get is an error so I went back to Swift Black Substratum.

I think you'd need the project file from themegalaxy of let's say one of my themes and compile it/save it using the app on your own phone for it to work properly. Using the APks I've created I notice its hit or miss with installation .
Download link for project file of my latest dark ui theme. Import this into theme galaxy then build/ install into samsung themes. I used just regular black wallpaper... and tha black icon pack found in Google play. Don't know if the project file includes these so just in case.

I had something turned on in my accessibility settings that was messing me up. I've since been dialing in my own BWG theme

Oh sweet. Mind sharing?
I actually just bought the OnePlus 6T so right now I can't theme at all.
This is the thing that I concocted. I might be available to addressing inquiries in the middle of the bustling calendar... or on the other hand perhaps you change it and take it further or unique. Up to you. Btw you MUST have subject cosmic system on your telephone. I gave however don't have the foggiest idea how this will turn out on the telephones of the individuals who haven't.
