How to port themes - Droid 2 Themes and Apps

I'm trying to learn some things about android and figured i'd start out by making my own theme. I want to port a couple themes first so I can learn how it works before I get myself in to deep. Can someone point me in the right direction where to learn to do that.
Thanks

Doesn't work on anything over 2.0..

If you are an Android owner bent on skinning the last bit of graphic UI, I am sure that you eagerly wait for your favorite themes to be ported for whatever version of Android you are using. Due to the differences among the OS versions, you cannot simply use a theme from Froyo on Eclair. At least, you couldn’t until now. XDA member Daneshm90 made a script that allows theme porting between OS versions. No more waiting for that wonderful Donut theme that you used in the past to be ported by some kind soul over to Froyo.

if you look on the market, there is one called androidian. also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016227 is another one, its a classic expresso theme. but other than that you are better off rooting, installing a rom (personally ive always thought the best is the cyanogen mod team, but team royal is good also). but next time, search. there are a few of these topics around, one even by myself before i went ahead and rooted mine.

From what I've heard it's incredibly difficult to really theme the Stock ROM other than changing the colors. *shrugs*
It's crazy, man.
T-Mobile theme engine can be compared to the Awesome MetaMorph program. But it does not require root to be able to theme your rom.
I am currently conducting experiments to add more edits to the standard theme template.
Should I open a thread to involve the community in the progression of the theme-ing process of the MT4G roms not requiring root? Let me know!

Any news on this? I would love to see what you could pull off with this
Baby steps
I haven't tried to add to the standard theme yet.
I will try these edits when I begin an AOSP theme.
I have been working on perfecting editing first.
I have a Sense UI theme also coming soon.
I have other themes coming from contributing themers.
Also, about the new thread, I am brainstorming the structure and goals of the thread...

[q] [request] [theme] mattedblues

I have seen a mattedblues theme floating around for cm7, and was wondering if it could be ported over to Trigger. I don't have any experience in theming, but I think it would be awesome. I have been using the minimal matte battery on Trigger for months, and this theme seems to complete it. I love the style, any help?

I'd LOVE to have that theme ported over for Bionix 1.3.1/1.3.2 as well, that looks so good!
Really elegant and sleek and simple!
Winning!
+1 this theme = winning. Please port to Trigger 3.01!
I've attempted porting this theme a few times, to bi-winning, and failed each time.
I'll try again for Trigger. I agree, it's a great theme.

What exactly does porting the theme over require someone to do?
I'd be willing to give it a shot, but have no idea how/where to get started...

[Q] MIUI rom help

Ok so i plan on downloading the miui.us rom sometime today, but i have a few questions i wanna clear up some things.
I was looking around the forum today and i came across this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302004. I want to install this as my lockscreen but im a little lost at something , it says CM7 , so does this mean it will only work on cm7 roms ? but then it also says miui, which is the rom i want. I don't get why cm7 and miui are together, is it a theme of miui put into cm7 or something?
Thanks in advance

Would you know what the theme is called ?
It's great that there is a thanks button, but there needs to be a "cut a n00b" button. It would result in an arm reaching through the computer screen with a butter knife and going to town.
You're quizzing us on themes and you haven't even installed the ROM yet? Seriously? Install the ROM and see if you still have any questions.
If memory serves me correctly, the second post in the miui.us thread explains the basics of miui such as how one ought to approach themes and other useful tips.
Theming MIUI works differently than most other Roms. There is a built-in theme app in miui that lets you browse through online themes, download them, and apply them onto your phone. Its worth downloading the rom and checking it out.

Help with new concept theme.

Hello, So I made a concept of a theme that I would really like to have made but instead of asking someone to make it for me I have decided I would have a go at making it myself.
Here is the Concept in question
http://i.imgur.com/hzu68.jpg
(if someone could change this where the image isnt MASSIVE, it would be appreciated )
Now I want to know if this is even feasible and if so where I should go about starting. I was hoping to make this a theme chooser theme for CM7 or maybe a theme for CM9 once themes are implemented.
Im loving the concept. Would be grateful if you would make a CM7 Theme based on this .
I'm working on it but I have no prior knowledge on how to do it so I'm essentially going on trial and error for the time being. If anyone would like to help me it would be appreciated.

AOSP Theme import for sammy based roms request

Hi there everybody....
So today I replaced my s3 with the note 2 N7100. So far it was so worth it....
One thing though that I am terribly missing is the AOSP domination theme for sammy based roms.
I did some theme searching in Xda, but I couldn't find a good AOSP Theme.
When I had My s3, I used "[VRT]DOMINATION*v1.8* theme and it was perfect.
This is the perfect solution for all of us who can't stand the default green samsung theme, and Love the google Styled (AOSP) theme.
I tried looking for a note 2 compatible version, but i received a reply from the theme creator, that there isn't one. So i was thinking the maybe some of the talented XDA developers, could try to import the theme for us note 2 users...
I'm posting here a link to the home thread in XDA so that all can see what i'm talking about.
I hope you like it as much as me....
And please, if possible, please import:

You should check out [email protected], Modstorm, and westcrips ROMS. They are all very good ROMS that are AOSP themed. Not as perfect cut as domination theme (that theme is flawless in my opinion), but they are getting there.
You can find them all in the development section. You can't really go wrong with any of them, although [email protected] and mod storm are updated a lot more often than westcrips ROM.

Thanx for replying...I could probably try to import it myself, but for sure, not as good as an experianced developer.
I think that in order for everyone to injoy this theme, bug free, it's best that someone else imports it...

I did actually check the AOSP ptoject (modstorm) but it's not even close to the domination theme.
Besides, all of the examples that you gave, if i'm not mistaken, are roms, or AOSP roms.
What i'm looking for is a good AOSP theme for sammy based roms. i'm sure that a lot of users like me do not want to give up there favorite sammy based rom.
again thanx

All of my examples are Touchwiz ROMS that are AOSP themed.
But these are definitely the best options you have until someone ports the Domination theme (which is doubtful as it has happened yet). Either that, or use an AOSP ROM, which I personally don't want to do because of all the Touchwiz features you lose. IMO, these complete ROMS are much more AOSP than any of the themes you will find in the theme section.
But I feel your pain, as I would also LOVE to see domination get ported.

Oh my gawd... That theme is so good. I want it!!
Avetny had a good AOSP theme going, but he dropped out of the game.
Well, I'm another one of those loving AOSP theme but don't want to loose excellent Samsung TouchWiz features.
As others said, there is no excellent AOSP theme so far, just AOSP themed ROMs.
The best AOSP themed ROMs I found are AllianceROM and Crash ROM.
The former needs a tiny bit of colour customization to get there, but it is definitely worth it (no more than 5-10 minutes of settings).
Check them out...

Wow, thanks dude. I've been reading about this in Android Apps & Games and it looks pretty amazing. But don't the theme ports have to be device-specific to work properly? Where are all the Note II ports being published/uploaded?
Couldn't find anything in Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps... Am I stupid/blind?
well a week ago I have replaced sgs2 for note2...
Im not a fan of touchwiz based roms, before I was using aosp, cm and other amazing roms.
But since with note2 all the great features of s-pen are not supported on nonstock based roms, Im searching for some solution.
Now Im searching for original copy of my stock rom. so in case of I will need warranty, I will flash it. But cant find it for now.
Anyway, I found amazing aosp theme for stock based ROMs here on xda. The only bad thing that is development has stopped, and the latest version is for android 4.1.1... but I think that it would be not so complicated to port it for a newest version of rom.
here is this great theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930847
After I will find original firmware for my device, I will flash it. And if it wont work I will try to ask for permission of author to try to port it. anyway you can try to do it by yourself before me
