Theme Black Droid (WIP)

I've been working on a theme, mainly for myself but I will probably upload it if anyone is interested. My question is how can I change the pull down bar image and background for the notification, I have found that some themes do this, but I have searched everywhere with no explanation of how. I found an image that looks like a pull down bar but its a 9 patch image. (is there any progress on using the 9 patch tool in the SDK to change these?)
PS. The background in the attached shot is not part of theme, I think it will work with any dark background. Also not sure if I am going to bother to change any of the icons at this stage, maybe later on.

Please upload for ADP1.1

yo! the theme colors look cool, but the menu button at the bottom seems not the right fit..maybe its just be..
as for the question you actually asked..i have no idea..i am sorry

At the moment, all I have changed is the status bar background, the App Menu dragbar at the bottom, the google search widget and the clock. I will look into making different version once I have finished it (first version is going to be RC8)
What is it that varies between firmwares that requires different versions? Is it the contents of the Framework-Res.apk and Launcher different for RC8, RC30, ADP1 etc?

Great
looks great

Love the show Lost !!! Cant wait to see how this turns out..

The wallpaper (which I got from an app in the market) wasn't really part of the theme per se, its just the one I am using currently, though I think it looks good. RE: original question I kinda worked it after now, just editing the 9 patch images for the search bar and notification and it worked ok.

where is the notification bar image though?

Wow look nice. Here were did you got that bbc new app. I did a search for it in the android app store and nothing came up.

i did have the icon you have in it but i like the one i have .both icons are used depending on the magic build.i think the one i have looks good with the calender and contacts icon but if more people like the one you posted i will add it when i add the dialer first i need to make it.

This was a smooth idea making this theme its cool as hell more up to date than the original default theme.
I like that icon so i made a few edits and will be adding to my bettercut icon pack. Thanks

the new icon is nice i agree its funny the first theme i started out with was deep black now im back to ur theme are u going to change the gesture unlock kinda hard to see the circles

i am going to look in to the gesture unlock but i am going to do the dialer first i have had no time today working on my bike.manup456 i like the icons you made for your theme would you mind if i used them in a harley theme when i get the time to make it

Can't wait to see what u can do the g1 keeps getting better and better thank u devs

[Theme] MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.8-DS (Black Bar) [6-19-2010]

Thanks for all the hard work Cyanogen and Team. You Rock!
This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.
Copy to SD
Nandroid backup (always)

Really enjoyed this theme on t4. Nice work indeed.

It may just be me, but I cant get your test 6 link to work. Just takes me to a google account page, but great work, looks good and cant wait to get it on my phone!

The link????

Having problems with the color change for the clock. I'll post a fixed version soon.
test6 should be working. I don't know if it will work properly on test7. The google docs page is where I'm storing the files.

i can not access the download link
need userid and psw

Try it now it should be fixed. I don't know what happened that link was suppose to share it with the world.

It's open to anyone, but you need to login with your google account.

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv

mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

theme in the menu??

hi friends i just purchased HOX 10 days back and noticed that when i set a live wallpaper it only shows up on the home screen and not in the menu's background. The menu is the standard black layout. whereas my friend has got an xperia s and the live wallpaper shows up in the menu's background. Is there anyway this can be changed since the menu looks very dull with the default black theme!!! p.s. phone is unrooted

You´re talking about the AppDrawer (which appears when u click on the centered icon in navigation bar on bottom of the homescreen)?
Then afaik it´s only possible with root and customROM, e.g. ViperX.
Maybe it would be possible without unlock/root with another Launcher from PlayStore, but i dont know which Launcher supports this.
LG, Helmut

thank you, yes thats what i was looking for, you have answered my question. you are right, if i use go launcher from app store with some customized themes the background changes. BTW do you have a you tube tutorial for your ROM. i am new to android since this is my 1st device and a complete noob

It´s not my ROM, i´m only one of the themers
Here´s a preview of the older ViperX v1.0.x, in v2.x there are much more possibilities:

How to get this theme ?

Is the nexus theme shown in the following P6 review available ? http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-ascend-p6-review

Hmm looks like a launcher as Nova or Apex with a jb wallpaper

I would follow this :
1. Change your home screen.
nova_jelly_bean
There are a lot of cool options for launchers, but Nova Launcher is probably your best bet for this purpose (Play Store Download Link). Simply using the default settings of Nova immediately makes your phone look a great deal like stock.
2. Customize your “look.”
holo_iconsYou’re also going to want to change your icons. Holo Icons is filled with stock icons, and looks great with Nova (Play Store Download Link).
You can even download stock wallpapers for an even more Play Edition experience. The Play Edition devices come with a new SunBeam live wallpaper, which you can download for your device for free (Play Store Download Link). If you’d rather have the other, non-live wallpapers that come with Jelly Bean, you can also get those in the Play Store (Play Store Download Link).
And if you want that minimalistic clock you see above, you can get that too, with Clock JB (Play Store Download Link).
3. Change your lock screen.Jelly_Bean_Search_Widgets_and_Halo_Launchr
The lock screen is the part of your device that you see the most often. Just like launchers, there are many options for alternate lock screens as well. For the purpose of making your device look like a stock device, Holo Locker is your best option (Play Store Download Link). It has many customization options, it’s stable, and it looks cool.
4. Install Google apps.
google_apps
Stock Android devices come with only Google created apps. That includes the stock keyboard, which Google released on the Play Store a few months ago. Also make sure you have Gmail, Maps, Chrome, Calendar, and any other Google apps you desire. You can find them all in the Play Store through this link.
dialer_cameraYou’ll probably notice that there are some stock apps that are on stock devices, but that Google hasn’t released to the Play Store. You’re not going to be able to find all of them, but some, like the Camera app, complete with the awesome Photo Sphere feature (Download Link) and the Dialer (Download Link) have been leaked for you to enjoy.
5. Make all of these apps default, and disable bloatware.
While setting up these apps, some will prompt you to make it the default app, but others will not. Make sure you make all of them default, so they will open automatically whenever you want to use them. You can do that using a very useful app called Default App Manager (Download Link).
Disabling_Apps_429
If your device isn’t stock, it comes with a lot of your carrier and manufacturer’s bloatware. Without rooting, it’s hard to get rid of it all, but if you go into Settings / Apps, you can individually tap on the bloat apps and manually disable them. For more information, check out our guide on disabling bloatware. Also, if you’re using Nova Launcher, you can upgrade to the premium version and make them disappear from your app drawer and have them out of sight.

here is mine screen ###

I´m using Apex Launcher with the Jelly Bean 4.3 HD Theme. It replaces the most Huawei icons with the default android ones. Tried Nova first, but placing widgets at the home screen doesn´t work with it.

I have managed to reach their dowload site of that second theme:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3818376665&uk=3406717033
Use google chrome browser and translate and click normal download.
This is theme section of forum. Many themes there:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=44
How to download:
1) go to a china theme thread and the end of the first post you probably see a locked link. It gets unlocked only when you reply to that thread.
2) On clicking the locked link, you probably end up in signup/login. I already had account on english forum, i just used that and password in the two sections. But im not sure if that actually created new account or logged in same account. The login id is done using email id. So email id and password.
3) after typing email id and password, it led me to a page with a single section to type. I was stuck here. But got around it. It basically asked to type a nickname. So type forum nick name.
4) now that you successfully logged in, reply to the topic to get theme unlocked

I have installed it. Freakin awesome. Customizes the whole thing. Cant sleep today.
I tried these three themes:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=193267&extra=page=1
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=194645&extra=page=1
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=192683&extra=page=1
Works fine. No issues noticed yet. In two of those themes, you wont get the clock as shown in screenshot. Its maybe a separate widget.
Also one of the theme, the screen lock is different from screenshot. There is no lock icon anywhere as supposed to be according to screenshot. But just swiping over screen unlocks it in a different way which looks cool by itself.
Note that the themes section does not come under a "p6" section. So themes could be for other EMUI versions and other models. I dont know if problems might happen if other used.

Tried this holo theme:http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=78602&mobile=yes
Very beautiful too. But again, although on the details it mentions that widget has been customized, yet i dont see where that is. I dont get the clock widget as shown in screen shot.

thanks so much

Can you share this themes, here pls.
Thanks in advance.

Remember a majority if not all the themes located on vmall's website automatically append the .txt extension. Just rename the extension to .hwt and copy to your themes dir located on internal or external sd card. The themes app should automatically scan those directories and import on opening.

New Miui style Huawei P6 Theme
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI P6-U06

I tried this flyme 3.0 theme:
http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=196888&extra=page=4&page=1
Its a neat and sweet theme but a little incomplete. The folders open as opaque window which is unique, but the font within that is in a black color that is not visible. It should be made white, and also the homescreen should be dimmed out a little more when opening folders, so that the opaque folder does not cause stuff on homescreen to show up in folder. The dialpad could have been made with a flatter keypad and a color that matches theme overall, but that isn't really a problem. Also a couple of icons have not been updated and may look out of place.
If someone knows how to edit this theme and fix those issues, it would be great.
