I dunno I just got curious out of nowhere, so who created XDA-DEVELOPERS!?
I believe it was started by some thoughtful geeks in the UK where the the first HTC device came out and was called the XDA or XDA Exec or something like that. I'm most certainly glad that they did so.

IIRC, Flar is the head honcho 'round these here parts.
EDIT:spelling.
Well my guess is that the owners are a mix of the most powerful world agencies like NSA & Co ...
Why you'll ask ??
Because everybody knows that XDA Rulez the World

Sweet read.. thank you!
god you all are making me feel ancient OCT. 2005.
you know back then all we had to work with was Windows Mobile *shudder*
yah we didn't even cook roms for symbian.. just windows mobile. it was the clunky way of the future!
back before the "thanks" button and mayspace and youtube... yah we had mobile office. and .5 megapixel camera's
seriously though thing were alot different the devs were less helpful, more self gratification back then. We actually competed since there wasn't really a whole hell of a lot we could do with windows Mobile 3-6
http://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_exec-1279.php
first "xda" device i owned ironically it's how i came to this site and i began cooking custom roms for it and the moto mpx series those were good times

No offense but there are some weird looking themes in this thread. The old ass non-modern look of most of these themes is killing me. Those themes were made to be made in the 1990's when wolves were cool to have on posters. Here is one from the Vibrant forum that exemplifies more of a modern minimalistic look.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964519
Not to be rude either but I want to point out that you just insulted all of the themers in our forum and then immediately followed that up with a request. You maybe waiting a bit for your request to be fulfilled.
I agree that talkin smack isn't going to take u places, especially when the people you are requesting make this theme do it for free..
Additionally, that theme is not what I would call minimalist.. its orange, with some weird looking stringy aosp style lock screen.. if u want orange I would suggest u try the latest viperrom.. t_phllips did a great job with it and its not far from that theme..
If u want what I would call minimalist, flash the theme by maddoggin.. purchase adw launcher ex and use the 'minimalist' adw theme. The result is pure black and whites

More like a 5th of Wild Turkey to make a request and then insult the people you want to spend 40 or more hours making your port request. And since you used "wolves" in your comment I take this directed more at me. So after you get over your MD 20-20 hangover I think you need to give the members in this section an apology. If not, I have a psychiatric hospital I can get you committed for 30 days or more, or determined if you are insane.

I'm 50/50 with you on this. While most of the themes I've seen available for, not just the Epic, but most phones in general, are very dated and, simply put, ugly/tacky as hell, the one you suggested is not much better. It's a poor example of what really is modern, sheek and minimalistic.
The only difference is I have the skill set to create something for myself, and myself only. If you came here to bash the others, you should probably learn the skills required to satisfy your own needs. With your attitude, there is no motivation for anyone to do you any favors.
For a truly good example of modern and minimalistic, you should refer to Watermoore's screenshots in the screenshot thread.
Its true; that was a pretty inane way of starting a request, lol...
...not to say I disagree. It kinda comes with the territory dude. A lot of folks seem to like the super-cluttered 90's-style bulkt-metal-chrome-icons style of themes. But these are the same devs that give us awesomely functional ROMs. Different skillsets is all. You really should just do it yourself because I know a lot of people would be thankful if someone with better design tastes started porting themes over.
Except for the themes with wolves. Ladies LOVE wolves you guys.

I understand your statement above. For one I do not have a creative bone in my body. But I am willing to take whatever instruction from someone who can think with the left side of the brain. For a person who can only think from a logic stand point I wllling to listen to whatever input you may offer, just post your request and lets see what happens from there.

I agree with you also. Nice shot at me tho . I work on cars for a living and I love the look of black and chrome. There's a bunch of ideas got themes I got in my vault but don't have the time between working on my only theme that Is public to helping other themers, working on mods, and working on a rom. I do all this in my spate time between 60 hour work weeks and 4 kids.
I didn't build my theme for you or anyone else on xda. I built it for my self and decided I would share. I'm sure this is why other themers made and released there themes to the public.
I have the ability to blow tort mind away. I just don't got the time. If you don't like the work that's available then move on. Sitting here and disrespecting the devs then asking for something to be done in your favor is just asinine.

I agree with the OP 100% , it would be nice to get some more variety in the clean / modern styled themes.
LoL sorry guys I didn't mean to belittle your work either. If we had a bunch of beautiful themes in this forum we probably wouldn't have the brilliant roms that we do. And most of us totally get that this is just people sharing their personal stuff with the rest of the forum.
For the record, I'm a designer by trade, so this kind of stuff is always super-present on my mind. But - I can't wrap my head around the masses of code that some of you look at on a daily basis. I'm also an artsy pretentious asshole . I mean I will pass on an app in the market if it has a crappy icon, for christ's sake.
Anyway, people like me who are super picky still have options like the Gingerbread theme.
EDIT: This thread has inspired me to look into the theming process. I think I'll read up one the (awesome) tutorial thread this weekend. I've done a lot of skinning for other UIs in the past so it shouldn't take me too long to pick up. As soon as I can, I'll make a thread for requests and will attempt to prioritize what people want, as well as my own scrutiny of course. This is kind of the off-season for design work anyway so I need something to keep me busy

What you have here is a phone that is already awesome. F iphone.
Why would you want that
Google should ban crap like this from the market oops I mean play store
Thanks apple
some people like the launcher of iOS coupled with the versatility of android. nothing wrong with that.
with that being said, this works suprosingly well, just needs options for customization. Menu button does nothing. folders would be dope too but its still in beta stage
This launcher has no settings or any kind of options, just like the regular iPhone, go figure.
They should implement a Launcher menu, but I guess they didn't think it was important to since iPhone users usually stick with stock...EVERYTHING.
oh yeah...it'll be much better. The devs are working on adding alot of recommended customizations

This launcher doesnt have anything better of both worlds. It's dull, boring, and unattractive, then again that's just my opinion

I Started This Thread To Talk About The New Theme
So What Can You Say About The 2013 Theme??
For me, the 2013 Theme is Professional Looking, but lacks the ambiance and feel of the Spirit of XDA...
I Am Still Adjusting, but 2013 Theme is much more simple, and surely will benefit everyone, especially people with not so strong internet connection..So Whats your insight?:highfive:
nice.. it look much more better than 2010.. and it look much more professional..

I'm not a muppet. I just don't understand the obsession of the users here. It will come when it comes whining and waiting here won't change it. While i do admit that i do try to keep up with the news and am regularly on the forum, i have really not much of an expectation of htc to be honest. Either way, it's probably around the corner and there's already a thread about this going on so this is just spam
Whatever
So clearly because it hasn't come out so far in October, the OP assumes it has now been delayed until October 2013? (??.????????????.??????.?dot?)
will come after couple of more months i guess
