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.

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.

You think so? I imagined something warm, like orange...
Hey hey, everybody! I've been running emotionless beast for a while since 1.5. I love it to death, don't get me wrong, but on an all jet black phone, IMO Nothing beats a darkstar port. So I figured wtf? Let's port one over. Problem there is I've been working 12's lately, and only get a little bit of computer time, if any during a day. Weekends, same thing . So I need to throw a request out there to any individual(s) that also would like to see this happen to help me out.
I did some custom themes on my cliq, but those were all through metamorph. So if someones willing to take the plunge and start on this project, I am more than willing to help them out on a few sections. My photoshop is ready and willing. Just need a hand and someone that can give me a stock-deodexed template to work off of. I figured if we end up doing this we should just make it for Froyo, since that is (hopefully) in the near future. It'd be kinda silly to work hard on a 2.1 theme just for it to phase out next month entirely.
Anyways... any volunteers? Concerns? Would you like to see this too? let me know.
Im working on porting my beast to froyo with the power options and everything. I got my framework-res.apk all done. I just need to modify the 3jar files. After I finish the port I was thinking of making a black and chrome theme with blue highlights. I already got my name picked out "Dark Beast". I'll gladly look into this port and add my own twist.

Yeah that is just one variety of it, there have been many versions of darkstar released. That'd be awesome, mystery if you did decide to make a "Dark Beast" I'd be glad to be a part of it/help you out with it you decide you like Darkstar and want to make a hybrid/mod type thing go down.
The things I like about darkstar is : A. The rounded screen corners give the screen/phone a very blended/smooth look to a solid black phone. B. I also just think that Jet black/green look extremely sexy complementing one another. C. It just looks overall clean and nice.
The only thing I don't like about it is most of the notif. bar icons. All white and completely boring is not my thing. I'd like to do something with them, which would be no problem.
Anyone else have an opinion either way on this?

It's not in the framework?? Whatever it is, it's in the sytem image somewhere. Someone smarter thatn me should do it.
To the poster that said "Why, we'll have 2.3 roms soon" (paraphrasing):
I would like at least this small porrtion of gingerbread on my totally/completely stable/fast Myn rom now. i doubt that the first, even the 2nd or 3rd phase of community built releases will be perfect. But if given just this one feature, I'd be happy. It's not like you can take advantage of new Android features in 2.3 with the evo anyway: we don't have a gyroscope, we don't have a NFC radio.
That said, of course I'd love a full gingerbread release for the evo, but beggars can't be choosers.

Yes and no. It could be a proprietary Samsung thing. Then it wouldn't be in the SDK, but rather in the Nexus S image. Now, seeing as it's supposedly a Google Experience phone, there shouldn't be proprietary things on it... so that would lead me to believe it is in the framework somewhere.
Regardless of where it is, i want it too, lol

I might be wrong, but If the EVO officially gets Gingerbread or even if its ported over.... I the gyroscope is in the and part of the new OS itself and not hardware. Like I said, I could be totally wrong, But think about it, If the EVO Gets Gingerbread then we'd lose out on the new gyroscope feature?? Just doesn't seem right lol

Nope the gyroscope just like NFC is a hardware thing so there is no way for us evo users to get it without some insane hardware modding.

If you count Android version as one OS, it should be many more ;].
Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
And not Android OSes: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu, MeeGo. Does Windows 95/98 are counted too? If yes, it makes 10 in total, and 8 usable . Of course if we count like we should Android as one OS, it would make 5 systems. Even then it's damn sky high as majority of smartphones run just one dedicated OS.
Isn't Honeycomb strictly a tablet OS? I tried to use the normal HD2 res on it and 240 display density and got only force closes when trying to boot it on my PC.
I have just got used to Gingerbread and now we could get Homenycomb??? Maaan, this would be awesome I only want the devs to take their time to improve Gingerbread as much as possible.
Why would you want a tablet based os on such a little screen like the hd2. Makes no sense to me. I do believe this is one ill stay away from..

Just caught eye of this new story. It appears Honeycomb won't be limited to tablets. There's mention of a phone version to be released later this year.
Honeycomb love. Outstanding! Because the preview version impressed me. A lot different from the usual Android. I would love having this on my HD2.

I am posting here so that any dev that could start working on this would better improve Gingerbread. I wouldn't install it yet, I will wait just like I did with Gingerbread. Nice file though.
So I'm in the beginning stages of making this boot animation from the intro sequence from MLP:FiM. I'm pretty new to this kind of thing although I've been using android for a while (also learning the API... baby steps). This is mostly a first attempt and i wanted to see if I could get any interest or feedback before sinking any more time into it. I have it up and running on my phone right now and am quite pleased with the results seeing as it hasn't taken much time to get to this stage, although I'm sure refining it will be a more difficult task.
Of course this goes out to all the bronies, enjoy! (the download link is in the youtube video description. not only is the zip too large to attach, but, being a new user, i can't add links)
Also, no sound, because i don't know how to do that yet.
Awesome!
I'm not rooted (yet) but someday this will be my boot animation. ;-)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does this prolong the bootup process? My NP appears to be booting a lot faster.

I don't think so. The boot time probably has more to do with other factors like the rom used, apps installed, etc. I'll admit the animation is a bit hefty at 200+ frames but that's obviously the price to pay for such a long boot animation. Anyways, i don't think the animation itself has much if any impact on boot time but maybe someone more experienced in the matter could give a more informed answer

Will the boot animation stop whenever the phone is done booting or will it play to the end no matter what?
No, the boot animation stops whenever the phone is done booting. As you can see in the video the animation loops back to the beginning because the phone isn't done loading yet. The inverse is true if the phone finishes loading before the animation completes.

Best bootloader so far!
edit: Although the image doesn't seem to sharp. Almost looks a little pixelated around the edges. Maybe that is just how the MLP intro animation is?
Something more masculine perhaps?
Awesome. I was only just thinking that boot animation was quite camp enough. Put AOKP unicorn to shame

I'm using it, it's a little un-antialiased and quite low resolution BUT, remember this is a boot animation. 1) You dont want it to be slow and choppy. 2) You only see it once.
It's a great thing for any brony, which is why I am using it.

Also, check out the bootanimations compilation thread. Not only will the OP gladly link and credit you, but I posted a link to a guide there that the OP included in the 1st post.
alright to answer a few questions at once because i didn't expect this much of a response thanks guys!
currently the frames are 25% the resolution of the gnex (so 1280x720 divided by four) and they run at 12fps. if you want to run this on another resolution it's simply a matter of editing the desc.txt file in the zip. for those of you that aren't inclined to do this, feel free to post your screen resolutions and I'll get around to posting a compatible zip as time allows.

I'll think about it. If he has the time, I'm sure i could use a few pointers, although I'm not registered on rootzwiki at the moment.

Alright I'll go ahead and post this in that thread. I already have a PDF guide that i follow for this though and it doesn't look like the guide on that thread is much different. Thanks anyways though!
If you don't like it or don't agree with it, don't post negative comments. Just because it's not your cup of tea, doesn't mean you can say whatever you want.

Something more masculine perhaps?

Was my thought exactly, I kinda hope this wasn't an adult who made it. Or I gotta wonder a bit...Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead with that on my phone. Actually, I would be caught "dead". To each, his own, I guess.

Forums are for sharing opinions aren't they? be it good or bad it's still a persons opinion. I never said it looked bad, in the end I said "to each, his own".
