I'd just like to recommend that nobody bother with this anymore. Just switch over to CM7 nightly builds, most are stable enough for regular use.

REQUIREMENTS
CM6.1 for the HTC Legend
CM6.1-Gingertheme.v6.1.LEGEND.zip courtesy of Sympnotic - Download provided below.
LauncherPro (Recommended) OR Gingerbread Launcher
*** NOTE: Gingerbread Launcher 3D Free does not work on the Legend.
Icons (if using LauncherPro) courtesy of Benny879 @ the LauncherPro Forum - Download provided below.
Gingerbread Keyboard by Fabolous @ Droid Forums
LCDDensity
Livewallpaper from Gingerbread
*** NO METAMORPH REQUIRED!
STEPS
*** DO A BACKUP FIRST!!!
Flash CM6.1-Gingertheme.v6.1.LEGEND.zip
Select STOCK_Black theme in CM settings. (User interface --> Tweak Extras)
Flash the keyboard and select Android Keyboard in text input.
Open up LCDDensity and set to 240 then restart.
Open up LCDDensity again, set to 160 (default), and restart again (this is to fix the unusually small size of the new keyboard).
Use the icons to give the LauncherPro dock the Gingerbread look. DO NOT FLASH THE ICON ZIP FILE just extract it and customize through the LauncherPro menu. Alternatively, you can use the Gingerbread Launcher in the Market, but it does not have support for a 3D app drawer.
Set wallpaper to "Nexus" live wallpaper.
BUGS
Rebooting the phone will cause the keyboard to return to its small state again. You'll have to repeat steps 4 & 5 to correct it.
After flashing the theme from Sympnotic, the CM theme options may appear as a blank menu with one checked radio next to it. Check it again, leave the menu, go back, and STOCK_Black should be there.
After flashing CM6.1-Gingertheme.v6.1.LEGEND.zip I got stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot screen. I had to power it down then power it back up for it to properly boot. Everything was fine after.
"Add Call" button appears lower than the "End" and "Dialpad" buttons (See Post #5). Flash CM6.1-Gingertheme.v6.1.LEGEND.zip to fix. Thanks to Sympnotic.
MISSING FEATURES
New live wallpaper as seen on the Nexus S. Fake Nexus S live wallpaper added!
Official Nexus S live wallpaper.
Orange colour burst when reaching the end of a menu.
Sleep animation.

Hey thanks. Also, you ever think about making the notification bar slightly transparent? I think that would look real nice. Just a thought. I'd do it myself but have thus far be unable to figure out how.

I'm just trying to learn this stuff too. Right now I'm relying on Sympnotic for the theme and I'm not sure if there are any plans for a transparent version. Maybe in the future if I can figure it out myself.
@jaStrom: Just want to ask you something. Did you sign framework-res.apk after you apply the theme? And did you zipaligne the modified apks?

No and no. I didn't create the required files mentioned in the first post. All I did was flash/install the required items, made sure everything worked, then posted exactly how I did it. I'm still in the process of learning about how to properly use the SDK, so I've been relying on more advanced users' work.
That doesn't mean that it isn't zipaligned or signed, I just don't know since I didn't make it. Why? Are you experiencing slower performance?

Hi, I did the theme, and no, i'm not signing or zipaligning it, I'm too lazy to do that as I'm always replacing things at the last moment before flashing and testing it, but I'm moving files from .zip to .zip to prevent issues concerning signing.
Properly recompiled (w/o errors) framework-res.apk using apktool (supposedly fake signed) gives me bootloops.
I'll grab the fake-sign java thing just in case and will find some infos about it.

FOR SAMSUNG VIBRANT (SGH-T959)
USE WITH OTHER GALAXY S MODELS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
CURRENTLY TWO VERSIONS. 1.1 IS FOR JFD-BASED FIRMWARE WHILE 1.2 IS FOR JI6-BASED FIRMWARE. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT VERSION!
UPDATE
This update is to make this theme compatible with the new JI6 firmware and ROMs based on it (such as Bionix 1.6 and above). There are no changes or additions to how the theme looks as of yet. It should appear identical to version 1.1 running on JFD-based firmware. Also, I have decided to remove the black-to-stock reversion theme as it seems to be causing more problems than it is solving due to compatibility issues with other firmware and other Galaxy S models. If you wish to return to stock, please either restore a NAND backup or use/create a stock TouchWIZ MetaMorph theme that is designed to work with your current firmware on your device.
AllBlack v1.2
This theme gives your notification bar and pull-down notification menu a sleek, minimalistic flat black look. Not only does this theme give your Galaxy S phone a clean dark look, but it also helps you save on precious battery power since black areas of the screen require zero power due to the active matrix nature of Samsung's Super AMOLED display.
I have made two versions available, one with my own custom notification icons (the same ones included in my ClearBar theme), and one without any notification icons so you can keep the same icons you have already been using.
This is a MetaMorph theme, so you will need to install MetaMorph from the Market and use it to apply this theme.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS THEME!
ClockworkMod Recovery is available for Galaxy S phones through the ROM Manager which is available in the Market. If you have not already, please install ROM Manager in order to flash ClockworkMod Recovery (completely safe) and create a nandroid backup before applying this theme. I am not responsible for any issues this theme causes. It works perfectly fine on my Vibrant, but no two phones are alike so your experience my differ.
Be sure to turn USB Debugging on before applying. For some reason, having debugging disabled causes MetaMorph to hang when applying the theme.
Feel free modify or incorporate this theme in part or whole in your own projects. I only ask that you give me some credit if you redistribute my work.

applied both versions of this theme, however the dropdown notification background stayed the same default color (light greyish) both times and after a reboot. any ideas?
This is incredible.. black is my favorite color and I LOVE this theme. Only thing I would change is use the arrow with a line under it for downloads isntead of that box. Freaking awesome. Thanks tricorder!
Had to revert the "Droid in dropdown" theme for it to apply fully, where as when I applied on top of it only themed the top notification bar.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
applied only changed the bar not the pull down but still looks good
edit: a 2 reboots got it to show nice work just what i was looking for
i was just going to say the same thing. rebooted, reapplied, rebooted and then it started soft-rebooting itself 5 or 6x. Finally it let me back to the homescreen and everything seems to be ok.
It worked perfect fine for me coming off your Clearbar notification theme...
Sent from my Ungodly sleek, stylish, powerful, and sexy Vibrant...It reminds me of myself
I was having the same problem everyone else is having with getting the pull-down notification list to change properly when I was making this and testing it out. The best solution I found for when this happens is to go back into MetaMorph, only apply twframwork-res.apk from this theme, and then reboot. I don't know what causes this, and didn't have the same problem when I was making ClearBar.

I'm actually pretty fond of my animated downloads icon. I really like the whole "arrows of data going down into the phone" effect that I made. If you don't like it, you're perfectly free to use different icons or make your own. Just open up the zip file and navigate to framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi and replace the icons you want to change. No resigning or anything like that is required for this to work in MetaMorph.
No dissin tricorder lol.. you made my phone awesome. Thanks...

White stuff?
can we get a theme with white for the notifications text? I want brilliant white instead of dim colors... not hatin or anything!!!
i don't know if anyone else is having troubles but when i do this is messes up my market to the point i cannot access it. Any ideas?

Use hxd. Search for 0800001C and then edit the following 8 digits (BGRA).
Here's a good guide to get you started: http://www.jbthemes.com/AndroidThemeingGuide/The Ultimate Android Themeing Guide.pdf
Or you could just yank it out of my theme if you're short on time

Thanks again. I'll look over this and learn to do this the right way instead of yanking it out of your theme, but thanks for offering.
Tricorder, look for AXMLPrinter2.jar on the forums. It can convert binary xml to text xml.
tried to revert back to stock...it just hung on the 'applying' screen forever. rebooted, tried again, etc. let it run on 'applying' for 2 hours before giving up. stuck with the allblack theme now and although i'm not sure (haven't been able to isolate it) i think it is causing some lag issues. but this may be unrelated.

I really don't see how it could be causing lag. All it does is change some png files.
Also, double-check to make sure you still have usb debugging enabled. That seems to be the primary cause for MetaMorph hanging when applying themes. I've used my black-to-stock theme to revert a few times with no problems, although it doesn't always seem to apply the stock images from twframework-res on the first try, but the second try and a reboot always seems to work.
I'm working on a new release of this. I've eliminated the white background for the music controls in the pull-down notification menu and started changing some of the text to white to show up better. Does anyone have any suggestions for some other changes?
Most, if not all, of these are for b-0.2
Huge thanks to FeaRThiS for offering to host these modifications.

BlaY0's ROM has really taken off, and a number of people made some modifications for it. While full re-cooks of the ROM should be left in the dev section, themes and visual stuff should be put here (thanks denisman). With that in mind I made this thread. Any themes, however minor, could be posted here. Now, not all of us have access to a server. FeaRThiS has kindly offered us his, so if you have a MOD you want here then feel free to PM me with a link (or email me with an attachment, I use gmail so I'm sure you can guess my address), and I'll shove it on this server and put it on the first post. Requests are welcome, but don't expect all to be made. I'll try to keep this post up to date with all the latest themes that people make for BlaY0's ROM

From the other thread:
Does anyone know if it's possible to apply such animations to screen rotations? Like how iPhones have a nice rotate effect when you rotate orientation, you see the screen rotate smoothly instead of just jump into place.
And I think these would be a nice addition to the rom:
Smooth Sense Icons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733682
would someone be able to port these to this ROM? They're in HDPI in that thread (for Desire), shouldn't be too hard to resize.
that smooth battery icon is even nicer than stock
What do you think?
@Snowtoad23: Maybe you could do the editing and upload the pics somewhere...I'd take a shot on incorporating them ;-)

thanks a lot , really!!!!!!
can i ask how do i/we make mods like nav bar or lockscreen or stuff like these
i am ok at graphic but really an idiot at those techniques. any place to learn?
I actually suck at graphics Just obtained 3D max to create the lockscreen.
What you need is to extract the png's from framework-res.apk or in this case com.htc.resources.apk...Those are just signed zips.
Now in those zips in \res\drawable-mdpi\ you'll find three png's:
lockscreen_arc.png
lockscreen_arcglass_bottom.png
lockscreen_arcglass_top.9.png
As I can't edit .9.png's (those are different files than png's, don't ask me why )
I wanted to edit just the first png - i like the shape, it just doesn't correspond with the navbar.
If you can edit it, here it is:
I'll try and have a crack at those smooth sense icons later on. Emphasis on try, I'm no themer/graphic designer
I already looked into it, the problem is that desire has a slightly different color of the statbar - we would actually have to re-create those icons not to mention those scripts...I already tried to create just one icon with my actual battery percentage just to see the result and it is very difficult to make those numbers in battery readable.
Other rhing I've noticed is that the original circle mod from BlaY0's ROM is in fact HDPI, but when I replaced those png's with those from desire, there was no icon at all...
I'd really need a better understanding how Android works
OK, here goes Cryshop's lockscreen + navbar: navbar+lock_B0.2-signed.zip
(TGF would you add that to the 1st post? )
As for the other lockscreen, I'll need some time to learn myself in 3ds max to make one

Another possible lockscreen project.. How about the old Eclair lockscreen where you can set a different background picture for it and it has the cool effect where it drags down smoothly to reveal what is behind, instead of the current Froyo one where it just fades away.
Would it work just by copying the HTClockscreen.apk from an old Eclair Sense ROM to this, or not because of all the things that link to it e.g. messages, dialer, calendar, alarms, everything, and if they've been changed in Froyo...
It would most probably not work because of the different framework in Froyo, but you can give it a try

Yeh and I think they changed it because the new lockscreen works with live wallpaper.. I don't see the old one working with live wallpapers and being able to freely slide up and down.
What do I need to do/edit to get text showing in the locations shown on attached image?
As far as I know, both are 9.png's, so if you need to add a permanent text, you can edit those images inside system/framework/framework-res.apk /res/drawable-mdpi (I don't know how to edit .9.png's)
But for system statuses etc. you would have to change scripts in framework-res.apk, andI can't do that either....

This is his hard work, and it's very good looking, I'm just trying to help minimize the zip size and get it moved to an apk for Tmobiles Theme Chooser
this is a good start in the right direction, dueces
Awesome, thanks!
*sigh* - DON'T
Seriously, guys... The themeing engine was added to CM7 precisely to avoid this kind of messing up with the ROM, so *don't* do this. Themes can now be built and distributed as APKs, you can even market the damned things...
This comes from an installable APK, for example:
xttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10355648/mau5-land.png
Check the vendor/tmobile/themes/Cyanbread and Androidian stuff for examples.
Awesome I love it thanks
So this is a .apk or theme? Could you explain a bit more why you say this is a bad idea?

Once you convert to a theme I'll definitely give it a whirl (not much liking the current 3 themes, but love the functionality & options it will bring).

Agreed. Love this idea. It should be an option with cm7 IMHO.

So this is a .apk or theme? Could you explain a bit more why you say this is a bad idea?

It's a theme, installed as an APK. Messing up with ROMs to change layout has always been a problem, it's _very_ easy to mess up something, especially when those changes are done by simply repacking the resources (unzip, replace, re-zip). It's a fairly frequent source of support problems for developers, and it's just an ugly way of themeing a phone.
CM7 includes a themeing engine developed by T-Mobile, and the main reason for it is to prevent these problems (and it is _very_ powerful, allows you to change almost anything from layout to animations, not just graphics). If you're running a recent build of CM7 (or any of the many CM kangs) , open the "Theme Chooser" application and choose one of the 2 samples: they are a very small example of what can be done. Note that even the window transitions are changed. Then search the market for "greybeard", and have fun installing your first market theme

well, no, its not a theme yet
its actually a kanged version of cm7
THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED ARE:
images in framework, SystemUI, Settings, Bluetooth, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts, Deskclock, Email, FM, MMS, Music and Phone
no layouts or xml files are changed, only images
the images changed have the exact same names, they have only been colorized so that the menu icons and notification bar icons that were grey/black and white before are now colored...some others that were colored before (like battery for instance) were changed to blue or some other design that i preferred (i personally cant stand the signal bars/wifi indicators in gingerbread)
this was originally just something i was doing for myself for a few months starting in july, 2010, but after i finally shared it in october over at cmforum, it took off as people liked it
there is nothing else changed in the ROM itself, so flashing this overtop of your current version of cm7.*** doesnt "break" anything else
so really its as simple as having both versions available on sdcard and flashing one or the other
honestly, its much to do about nothing, its just a different look
if someone can tell me how to "theme" the framework, and all those apk's listed above without doing it this way, i'd be glad to do it, it would save me alot of work, but i like doing it anyway

For those of you crying that this will break ****: No, it won't. It is a full rom. Nothing is broken/breaking.
I am working on adding it to the theme chooser, as that's the goal here.

Roaming signal icons to match the theme, have no seen if they are working to please report back on that.

1.5 updated with the .145 firmware plus a few other little changes like the status bar etc should not be to much different just updated
2.0 Updated major UI rework looks more simple and added more white.
The blue is now darker should find this dark and simple, WP7 style kind of
3.0 Redone for the new August Frame-work, Changed status bar icons to JAMT icons.
Blue ones are still available if you choose to want them let me know.

Big update coming tomorrow, should have all the images corrected and in place now

Compatible with play?

I actually love you for making this. I was looking for something like this for ages, stock 2.3 but blue. Seriously man thanks!
The only things I might change would be the drop down arrow button in the settings (more like the stock one?) and maybe remove the logo from the bottom of the pulldown? Kinda spoils the super-clean look of the theme ^_^
I think changing the pulldown is a bigger "issue" for me, just looks a wee bit out of place I think :/
Just my opinion though, looks great Hope you keep supporting and developing this.

I dont see why it should be any different on the play.
it should work.
But can not say for sure.
I always get the boot loop, flashed the arc twice in one hour
Once i replace the framework.res file i get it
I really like the theme, don't know what to do

It would be freakin awesome if it was the stock theme! I have been looking for the stock theme for arc...but can't find it =) anybody has found something? Thanks for the great work!
Aaah man looks even more amazing now!
I know you might get sick of all my little silly suggestions BUT, I found this (similar) theme for the ZTE Blade (my old phone) and it has some resources in it you may find useful.
One thing that stood out is the battery meter glows like stock GB in this theme, but in yours it doesnt currently.
Anyway the framework is here, you have to unzip the file, find the framework in the system directory and extract it from there, sorry >.<

Edit: Oh also, is the drop down image you attached above different to the one in the OP? It looks nicer than the updated OP haha

I had a look at the .Zip file,
Yeah they have got a little but of a blur trouble is, in ZTE blade zip the battery icon jumps in 20% increments
Where the one we have now each percent has its own image file.
i know it does not use every icon on the phone, but might matter to the .xml and may cause bootloop. something i dont really want.
Also the drop down bottom bar i attached in the post, kept crashing the systemui.apk but i know why, so i might work on fixing that.
Its the annoying patch 9 image.
Want to try to get the arc to use all the battery icons for each % rather in jumps or 20% thats what im working on.
EDIT: i actually think it does use every 1% icons taking a look at the .xml files.
Thanks for the great build! I'm loving it!!!!
May I have one little request that is it possible to have the % battery icon included of your build? Thanks and I look forward to it, thanks!!!!!!

CBB77 Blue Medley v1
Using VillianTheme (VRTheme) System
Works on all versions of SHOStock 3
Been a while in the making, but I have finally pulled together a theme I am happy with. It's a blend of a few different themes on XDA with a few mods of my own. (Thus the name "Medley") Below are the items themed:
ClockPackage
JobManager
MusicPlayer
SecContacts
SecEmail
SecPhone
SecSettings
SecMms
SystemUI
Framework-res
SamsungCamera (Icon change only)
SecLauncher2 (Icon change only)
Additionally I have included my favorite original S2 bootup animation with sound. However kudos to Shoman on the latest bootanimation on version 2.5.5. Thus I have included 2 versions of this theme, one with the boot animation included and one without.
Enjoy!

The telephone screen is not fully compatible with 2.5.9. Launch telephone and open up call settings then hit back button and the screen doesn't refresh properly. Thanks for the theme. It's the best of the VR version. I don't know if there are others experiencing the same thing I do.

Thanks for feedback. I haven't upgraded to 2.5.9 yet so I can't speak to that. I did test what you mentioned on 2.5.6 and it doesn't have the problem you mentioned. I'll see if I can upgrade and fix this weekend.

I tried the theme, and it looked awesome. I had some problems with reading the text in the battery indicator. My live wallpaper was Force Closing, and I don't know what might be wrong with it. Other than these, it was really beautiful. I like the boot animation so much.
I just have one quick question. Is it possible to have the boot animation separately?

The problem with the battery text is due to having the "Display Battery percentage" option set in the display settings page. Turn that off. The issue is the battery icons I used already have the percentage indicator as part of it. Thus this option is actually overlaying the percentage on top of what is already there making it difficult to read, since it's not a perfect overlay. Turn it off an you'll be able to clearly read it.
Here is the link to the boot animation i used. I've also include the link to the boot sound file.

Absolutely. You simply need to extract my zip and remove any of the apks that you don't want. Then re-zip the file. Just make sure when you re-zip you use no compression. Use 7-zip and use the store option when re-zipping the file.
Dude this is a beautiful theme!!! Awesome work I am very impressed.
You got anything else? Any apps? You should blue theme a Gmail to go with this.

Sorry guys, not having much luck themeing Gmail. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the theme to apply. Not sure what's different as it works for every other app. Thus have hit a brick wall. Still researching but may be a while.
Is there a way to change the generic contact icons from male to female and vice versa? Not a big deal really it's just i feel bad that some of my friends are the wrong sex lol
