[THEME] Robotech - Macross JFv1.5 Hv1.5r3 - G1 Themes and Wallpapers

Built this theme upon request by a friend who recently bought a G1 from me. Being a huge fan myself I had a lot of fun w/ this one =) Features JrBourque's red VK. If anyone wants a port, this can be done relatively easy so feel free to throw that out there if interested.

Aight. Decided to make the switch this evening so I ported my latest theme over. Ended up ranting bout a bunch of stuff that came to my mind after the icons of this theme were criticized. Here is the link and screen shots to spare anyone not interested bout the rant lol. To give credit where credit is due, I compiled JrBourque's Red VK into this build. Anyone who need's a custom VK should hit him and Diaztradeinc up asap. Quality stuff fo sho.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gmyyzgnyxa2/Robotech_JFv1.5.zip
Thus far, posting this las night (in Hv1.5 form) I've only gotten one post of criticism regarding the icons... but I don't really care. I'm open to constructive criticism within my means and MO, but I'm not here to please absolutely everyone. I enjoy making these things, have a zillion different ideas for themes that I'd like to see on my own phone and will continue to post them up as I make them, for whomever might be interested in them (no point in keeping them to myself).
This criticism over my icons put a lot on my mind today so I suppose I'll take the opportunity to put it out there. There seem to be 2 destinctive types of themes to me - Graphic driven themes and Subject driven themes. By graphic driven theme I mean those like Aero and Gloss that are based on no subject but built from scratch, open completely to unique artistic creation to no end. By subject driven themes, well, that's self explanatory (IE Mario, X-men, Punisher, Spider-Man, Gambit, Megaman, Robotech etc. etc. etc.).
Don't expect any of my themes to be graphic driven themes. Subject matter inspires me to build these themes, not graphic design, and I really don't see that changing anytime soon. I really only do this for the enjoyment of seeing my work and particular subjects come to fruition and don't have much interest in pushing my graphic art skills beyond where they currently are. I'd consider my graphic art skills intermediate at best. My skills are not nearly up to par w/ other designers on here. I'm far more inspired to see themes based on my favorite comic books and anime (among other potential mediums) come to fruition than I am to take the time to create unique and original designs. I'm in constant awe of what other members create and share w/ the community. I'm not in this for competition or comparison. I'll let peeps do their thang while I do mine. Jus in this for my own personal enjoyment and there's no point in keeping the fruits of my labors to myself if anyone else is ever interested in running it themselves.
To speak more directly regarding my feelings about icons representing the individual apps instead of the subject matter... in building a subject driven theme, I feel if the icons don't represent the subject in particular, they aren't nearly as interesting. I guess I think of it in the terms of what a Desktop theme would look like (because, Android really is a miniaturized desktop afterall). Even if I extracted a calculator (for example) from the source of the subject (like a calculator that appears in an episode of Robotech in this case), it wouldn't be recognizable as representation of that subject unless it were a character holding a friggin calculator or something. And if an icon like that was made you really wouldn't see the calculator once the image was scaled to the small size that the system icons are.
My work being criticized as though it should be similar to other themes in this regard bothered me enough that I guess I felt compelled to rant and explain my point of view, (and if you're readin this, naw man, I'm still not offended, jus put a lot on my mind). Anyways. This thing is long enough I suppose lol

OK... but don't you think you could make the icons at least sort of related to the apps?

If I wasn't at such a loss for source material I would have. I'm not kidding. About 80 or 90 google image search pages later I was still at square 2 where in previous endeavors id be at square 6.
Besides, I DO honestly strive for that (my settings icon in my Megaman theme being a good example of that, it was the start menu of MM2), however, I compare my work to that of a couple other cats on here and their icons aren't too particular to the individual apps either.
I agree. It would be REALLY sweet to be able to be that specific but the truth of the matter is I'm decent w/ Gimp (photoshop clone, much better), but I'm no ace by any means. There aren't enough pictures out there to do such a thing in the way id prefer. Calendar/calculator for example. Don't know if either ever appeared in a robotexh episode but if they did, even though it was taken from robotech it wouldn't feel in accordance w/ the theme cuz it wouldn't be familiar looking at all nor would it be destinctively related to the subject matter.
Sorry for the novel lol. You touched a softspot for me, not in a way that I'm offended at all, more like I WISH I COULD make the icons in stronger accordance w/ the individual apps but it's just not possible.
Id actually be curious to see someone else's attempt at such. Do you know of a charicter/show/whatever based theme that's been able to pull this off well? If so you should point me in that direction so I can scope it out

Man. Ain't no other Robotech fans up on here? Really? =) guess I stand alone. Or maybe no one is running H's 1.5 anymore now that he's released 6.0 =) I'm actually gonna update my phone to JFs 1.5 update so I think ill be porting it anyways and when I do ill post the port as well I guess.

Would be nice if you could make a proper Samurai Champloo, after seeing this I'm sure it will be great

Haha I just posted on the other one. Do you have to wipe for this? I haven't flashed a theme in a good while, also like i posted there is there any way that you can make a Samurai Champloo? After seeing this i would jump on your work of SC

Ha ha ha. FUNNY thing you mention that. I just decided this evening to start workin on a Cowboy Bebop theme. The robotech theme was on my list and when my friend bought a G1 from me and said "hey you should make a robotech theme" I took that as a sign. Now a dif friend is buyin a G1 from me on Sat and said "hey you should build a cowboy bebop theme" (which was also on my list =)) followed just a few hours later by "man a Samurai Champloo theme would be awesome too" lol. So I'm thinking at this point w/ 2 people already requesting both, both being on my list, that I can't make one w/ out doing the other ha ha. Once my Cowboy Bebop theme is done and released I'll def have to dive into Samurai Champloo as well ha ha.
Oh and, no wipe necessary. What build are you running? If you're runnin Haykuro's 1.5 jus flash it and it should update fine (in which case you'd want to grab the Hv1.5 theme on the other thread). Same w/ JF's too. =)

Ah perfect! Damn i wish i would have known this earlier to beat your friend and have you make the Samurai Champloo first but a man can wait I'm running JF1.51 ADP. So maybe you can work on it... whenever you're done a nice thank you will be heading your way

Yeah. there are some major complications regarding 1.51 US that I wasn't really wanting to get into. I'll prolly look into it further but ultimately the only real dif between 1.5 and 1.51 was MyFaves and Amazon for me so I decided against updateing. And from what I understand, flashing a theme built on 1.5 onto 1.51 US doesn't really work right =(. If someone figures out an easy way to extract the framework-res.apk I might jump on board. Otherwise I might actually look into 1.51 UK (which is also compatible w/ the JF1.5 themes that I'm constructing I do believe). I'm pretty sure that the only thing dif about US and UK is that the US f/w has My Faves, which isn't really a big deal since you can adjust your faves (if you even have any) using t mo's website.

heh, CbBb, my all-time favorite anime/show/whatever. I was thinking of one a while back, thought of making it real subtle, in-so-that only a fan would know it was anime/Cowboy Bebop. Heavy use of the opening credit style, pictures of the swordfish, profile silhouettes, etc etc etc.

Yeah it took me, literally HOURS to find a good element to use as the menu background, I ended up using a contour from the opening credits that actually worked pretty well =)

yeah man. I actually think you'll be in good shape then. Pretty sure the US build is the only one w/ that issue. If you flashed this robotech theme (or the Megaman one I ported for JF 1.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515742 ) that'll tell ya whether this CbBb theme and the SC theme to follow will work or not =) using the same template to build these.

thanks,
i havent made a final decision yet, i love making themes, just been feeling weird lately... it will probly pass though just need some support to keep me going... thanks to all who posted love already
like your themes, pay no attention to my vote. clicked the wrong one. keep it up.
HELL TO THE NO! 2 words repeated "HI HATER, HI HATER" i bet u made more themes then anyone.. and when ur on top the hater will try to make u fall.. F*%$ THEM!
I am baffled that anyone would complain when an artist spends time and effort to make themes for our phones. WTF??? Anyway, Randum, your themes are great! Please keep em coming.
truth be told you are a necessary force on these boards...you do niche themes as well as run of the mill themes, not too many people too interested in niche themes, and while yours may not be the most complete themes (personally, id love if you made this one as complete as possible minus the pink) they are the most readily available.
keep it up.
keep up the good work, I havent been on these boards of late but every time i am.....I always see something new from you. They may not be as complete as others but they definitely satisfy many. I for one like them very much 8).
I would like to add my voice in supporting your efforts.
I only wish I had the time to devote to making themes/developing for the G1 and look to people like you to make my phone so much more wonderful than it could be if you weren't here on this forum contributing!!!!
Who the Fu*! cares if some others don't like your themes. I may not like ALL of your themes. But, you make many that I DO like. But, whether I like them or not I appreciate the time and effort you put into making them.
Some of the themes entered into the competition weren't anything I would use on a daily basis... But, that doesn't mean that they weren't works of art. I appreciated every single one of them.
I really like many of the themes that you have made and look forward to seeing others in the future.
As for this theme... My wife loves it! She is stuck on her Blackberry (she has small hands and the G1 is just not comfortable for her) and wishes she could put it on her BB.
Glad you decided to stay!!!!
Dont Quit Randum you have the most and some of the best themes for the android OS. You also account for about 50% of the themes on Android Evolve!
yeah dont stop making themes . im still on your intense red and my girl is going to this one when i stop being lazy.Anyway keep them coming. F the haters im sure many themers got some ideas from your stuff.
PS Can you add a little more to intense i keep coming back to it even after the com.Also i like how you dont like changing the app icons.Thats my Style too.
A very nice theme indeed, it is my favourite theme for the RC9 ones out there. A very good vibrant theme! Consider it as a competative theme would like to see some more of your work PLEASE!? especially when they convert so well onto the RC9 ver (UK for me).
Regards.
I love Vekktor
Hi I love your themes and specially this one Vekktor I have lots of Vector wallpapers and when I saw this theme I was excited to match the with it. Please please keep it up your excellent work. Its different and very authentic.

[Theme] Uncanny X-men beta 2.5 jf1.42 rc33 {UPDATED4/23]

......this was a requested theme, for mimic so praise goes to him for the inspiration...added some more screen shots
http://www.mediafire.com/?k3tmjimjjya
Dude you alway have the best themes. Well theme that at least work for me
thanks appreciate it....i am going to change a few more things, just dont want to make the file to big like my others...
it looks good. a wolverine theme would probably look sick, but beggars can't be choosers so thanks for your hard work
if you have a problem with the update being too big try using PNG crush, i'm sure you can find it if you are a windows user(or something similar) i use linux and crush all my images before i zip and sign cause i ttend to make the images a little too big. i took a theme by me that was 11MB and got it down to 10.4 i believe and then it flashed just fine(i added fonts where eat space)
Rom Version?
i am going to make a wolverine one, unless someone beats me to it...the rom is 1.42 rc33

sweet! can't wait for that
ima huge fan of marvel and DC comics since i was like 4, and this is pretty sick. I was just wondering if u could change the the notification bar a little? You dont have to cause this would only fit my personal liking and well..not urs , and since ur the creator u should have it as whatever you like. Anyways. Great theme!!! =O
yeah i will change it, i made that one just for a preview,. i will make a better one .....
lol
So since I did request this lol and since your already making a wolverine theme, lol... can you feature gambit a little more... at least change the lock screen pic to a cool one of him...if you google "gambit wallpapers" through the image search there are some sick pics on the first page... there's one that just shows his and with cards (bootimage?). Don't get me wrong I love wolverine. Just like gambit more...also.. the security lock screen, maybe gene/ the phoenix or colossus
ight will do that, no prob
Good looking out!
Awesome Skin man! =) finally retired the ol Mario one i'd been stickin with since it's release (you dont happen to be the maker of that one too by any chance do you?). Funny story about the wallpaper used on this one -
Aside from House of M, Civil War - Uncanny X-Men and Age of Apocolypse i havent really read much X-men in the last 15 years or so. This wallpaper got me really curious cuz i never remembered Colossus having claws and Psylocke was already on the left for the Psy-Blade bearing female on the right to be her. So i went to Marvel forums and found out that these 2 indivuduals aren't actually X Men.
They're actually 2 charicter's from Top Cow's Cyberforce comic. Marvel recently did an X-men/Cyberforce crossover w/ Top Cow and this is what the artwork is from.
The Colossus-looking cat is a charicter named Ripclaw and the Psylocke-lookin chick is named Cyblade, (funny cuz not only does she look like Psylocke and have her power but "Cyblade" is a clear respelling of Psylocke's "Psy-blade" ability =)).
I'm looking forward to that Wolverine skin fo sho!! =) another recommendation/request i'd like to throw down is The Amazing Spider-Man. Any interest in building a theme based on the Spider-Man Comics? Maybe a wallpaper from Quesada's work on One More Day? =) You could probably do something wicked with the menu like webbing or something.
Once again, AWESOME work man. It took me a long time to retire that Mario skin and you managed to do so with this X Men one =)
Yo this theme FLAMES!!!! thanks alot
thanks for the complements, i am workin on the wolverine, and i made a spiderman one, but something went wrong and it mixed with a them i had on before it, so i am going to restart it....ninja turtles is another one i may get into....

"ScrewPaw" Redux?

How many people would be interested in having this theme ported to latest versions of CM? Porting it shouldn't really be hard at all however I was thinking to keep everyone happy and people off our backs that I would maintain the layout of the theme but keep it inline with the CM roms I.E Cyanogize it a bit
i'm not a big fan of the screwpaw theme, but you know, i think any progress for the sake of android is good i think it should be updated
I would love it if you would update it to the latest Cyan build. I like the way the theme is but how would you Cyanogize it?
Most definitely interested.
i don't think so as for the fact it would kinda kill what the point was of the original one. Maybe do a different look though. There could only be one ScrewPaw IMO

woo cant wait for this. ill get it on my cyanogen when its ready
i really love the theme how it is already.
the only think i hated was the version 3.9.7? with the stones as the background as the app drawer. it looked out of place.
the background of the app drawer before that was waaaay sexy. the dark picture with trees and the lovely scenery.
also, you should change the bootupscreen, it's already been suggested but this would be awesome haha.
android peeing on palm.
Yeah i'm in, been jumping back and forth from xrom to screwpalm. not really fond of the rocks in.9 tho, you could ditch that for sure.
please do.
ive been switching themes everyday and i cant find one i liked as much as screwpaw.
any update on the progress of developing this theme for us cyanogen users? =]
keep up good work
keep up the good work man. Don't listen to others saying don't make it. I am a big fan of it and can't wait till you get the latest version out.or do you have it out? if so can you please send it to me in private message or email.. thanx a lot. that would be much appreciated. Wish has a version out, but it's not the latest, so if you could work on the latest cynogen releases, that'd be awesome
Well the thread with the 4.02 theme has been removed, can anyone pm me the link to the rapidshare location? I have it in my history but I accidently cleared it...
http://miano.us/android
favorite the site if you'd like - I'll continue porting as the updates are made to the rom.

XDA-forums, themes? Stylefreak..

Hi
it just occured to me that XDA is using the vBulletin license and as a owner of vBulletin myself, I know how 'easy' it is to make a personalized theme for the forum.
So what I want to say here is really just: Why don't you have a more graphic theme already? The options for vBulletin is soooo extensive, and you could still use the current theme as a standard.
When I see this forum, owning the HD2, I get an urge to have it converted to an as glossy style as the Sense 2.5 UI.
Can't anyone make a theme for this forum? I see there are some plugins added to the script so modding the standard forum may not be enough.. so I guess you need a bit of authorization.. (or maybe a copy of the current theme-file could be enough)
BTW: I really don't want to give it a shot myself as I tend to get too caught up in projects like that, forgetting to eat, smoke, drink, go to the bathroom and so on d:
PS! A good idea might be to make a frontpage of the forum split in half (if you go to forum.xda-developers.com, the root, and maybe just for first time users), demonstrating both designs, and to enter the site you have to click the half you want to set for the forum.. or something. A more fresh look could bring more users.....

[Theme Request] Different Themes

Hello. I have noticed over the last 3 months that the theme section has been dropping off dramatically. I dare say it has a major thing to do with JKAY which is fantastic mind you however I am still sad and want someone to make me feel better.
Themers please come out with something other than ICS for the love of god. I am willing to start a bounty.
Theme Ideas:
My number 1 picks would go in order as follows
1. ELEGANT STEEL
2. BUUF
3. MATTED BLUES
4. MULTI COLOURED GINGERBREAD
5. A NEW BLACK THEME
I am no doubt going to get flamed for this but if only I get through to 1 person I am happy
I'm not saying this trying to be funny, but i think the easiest thing to do would be to learn how to do it yourself.
There are a lot of guides around I'm sure your aware of, it's not that difficult to string some images together, the hard part is editing smali for major theme changes.
I'm guessing the main reason it's been dropping around here is people are probably in the same boat as myself, not enough spare time to do anything, and any spare time you do have, there are more important things like family etc.
Hopefully when I get my new computer for xmas I can start doing some things again (if the missus let's me of course!!).
I agree with the ICS point, they seem to be everywhere ATM lol. I'm not a fan of stock looking themes so I'll probably try and expand the v2 of glowing glass contacts and maybe update phone candy to a final and retire it.
I am willing to learn how to make themes icons even splash themes. I know the ropes of illustrator and photoshop ect. But i need a helping hand to point me out where to start with what tutoruial. In return ill post my "work" for free. Please provide me with links so i can make the next person happy.
I would like to make themes for sgs2 for people who run cm7.1

Nobody has any right to flame u for saying your opinion mate but IMO themers are just waiting cuz ICS is coming quite quickly and I know someone of them is just working on leaked version just to prepare their magic.
Moreover I'm sure we'll see real beautiful things cuz everybody would like to create something better to beat Samsung UGLINESS
Personally I'm in love with ICS theme by Vertumus and I can't wait to see his beauty on real ICS firmware...but for any other themes u're asking for just be patient and wait a little and you'll see I'm f***ing right

Theming for cm7 is nothing like what you see here. You need to learn the T-Mobile theme engine to create themes for cm7.
The following is a good guide.
