What exactly would have to be changed to port them over? theres a butt-ton of D2 themes but only 2 or 3 for D2G, its slightly depressing lol. if it wouldnt take much to do it why doesnt someone do it. if i had the know-how i would but i hardly understand how to use terminal so modding system files probably wouldnt be something i should do.
When the sbf comes out, I'll do a few... Just don't want to risk bricking someone's phone atm.

WHY MUST ALL OF YOU CHANGE THE GREEN TO BLUE?!?!
no, but seriously, why is it that all the good rom makers change the default android green to blue? what is everyone's fascination with blue?
stop it. it's silly.
Make your own ROMs if you don't like it. A lot of people happen to like the blue, maybe thats why so many people use it. Not everyone can cater to your specific needs when they make a ROM. Is it really that big of a deal?
I meant this as kind've a light hearted post, just joking around and what-not.
but yeah, I am currently making my own rom, but in the meantime I've used a lot of other roms. It just surprises me that SO MANY people use that blue.

I want an all orange themed ROM. It is my "power" color. Not the sissy TN Vols / UT orange, but a deep strong orange. Almost a burnt orange. Paired with the black phone and black/gray Sense UI... orange would look nice with the default pallet IMO.

Thread Closed.
The only thing that most of you did in here was flame the OP.
I was a big themer of Swype betas on the G1 running CM 5.0.8, and I was just wondering if there would be any interest in seeing some themes ported to the beautiful screens we have here
just a thought. if I had a little support and incentive, I would be more than happy to start cranking some out.
that being said, I haven't tried to theme this version of Swype yet, so I don't know if there are hurdles to overcome
Reserved
Reserved for future use, changelogs if necessary, blah blah blah
Yes please
I for one would love to see this.
OP if you would like I can add a poll to the thread just PM me if you do.
Any way you could put the spacebar in the bottom center while in landscape mode? That would be... awesome.
this would b awesome. I wonder if you can theme it to look like l the htc ime keyboard

With my previous experience with Swype, this cannot be done. Swype operates by using a word detection algorithm working over static images... So the location for the spacebar is actually buried in the source code, and Swype doesn't even like us sharing the beta releases from non-preloaded devices. In short, no

I have all the files still from my previous work, which includes these versions:
-HTC IME Theme
-MyTouch Slide's "Black Glass" Theme
-HTC IME Color variants: Dark Red, Purple, Black Steel (Black&Grey theme), and bits and pieces of other color variations I tried and didn't like on the G1 I had at the time
-Naked theme, has no dividing lines or color on the background, displaying white characters. I have an inkling that this might save on some battery life
-I also have remnants of theme requests I made. I was working with another themer, so he had half of the themes, and I had the other half.

All I was saying is that if I had to put more work into Galaxy Swype themeing as I did beta Swype themeing, it would be nice to be compensated. I am by no means selling my services, but I have limited time lol Time=$
Anyways, I will get started on this project in a couple hours
the black glass theme on swype from the MT3GS would look amazing on our vibrants. i for one am looking forward to this. a quick question for you though, is it possible to apply the themes to the swype keyboard without the vibrant being rooted. i was trying to hold off from rroting until 2.2 releases

The only way to move these themes to this version of Swype is to metamorph w/ root. Seeing as how the distribution we are using now is device dependent, there might be hurdles to overcome as far as just installing the apk. Now, since we are now using the device that this version of swype came with, I might be able to get permission to distribute the apk amongst fellow galaxy s users from the company itself, since it is made to run only on this line of phones.
If I can get that permission, and we can get it to install straightaway without a hitch, then yes it's possible without root.
And honestly, the root process is so easy on the Galaxy/our Vibrants, that I didn't see any reason not to do it. The G1 was such a tough device for me to get the hang of and root.
I will most likely use the metamorph theme style, since that is the most viable and executeable option available currently. I have been in contact with Swype's community relations rep for the past few months, and they said one of their main priorities now that they have recognition and a few contracts, is to implement themeing. this could come to the devices that are preloaded with Swype to begin with, when they get the 2.2 updates from their carriers. But, that is purely speculation.

Why not root? I've rooted and flashed tons of different crap. This phone is unbrickable. Not only this, all it takes is an Odin flash in download mode and your back to 100% stock. Not to mention, rooting the Vibrant is terribly easy.
I would like to see a green or red version of the current blue theme.
If the creators of DarkEdge were to give the OK, would someone here be able to port this for the Eris running CM6? I've sent a note to see if we can get permissiion to port it.
DarkEdge UI Original
DarkEdge UI 2.2
DarkEdge UI Gallery
Edit/Update: Thanks to the hard work of KagedIn, we have a port!
I tried the Hero MDPI DarkEdge UI on CELB 3.5 and got boot loops. I also tried porting the theme over (for personal use) using Theme-Porter and Update.zip Creator. While both scripts completed successfully and created a valid update.zip which installed wonderfully on my device, nothing changed.
I've never attempted to port a theme before, so I'm sure that I'm missing some very important elements here to be able to accomplish this. If anyone out there who is more experienced is able to port this over (with permission, of course), that would be really, really cool
I was able to use Asimmons DarkEdge port for the Hero Asimmon's big theme porting thread and TheDeathly's Universal Theme Porter to get this working on the Eris. Some things aren't working well (black text on black buttons), but otherwise it's pretty beautiful.
I wasn't able to get an update.zip that worked, so I pushed everything over manually using adb. I have not yet heard back from the DarkEdge team as to whether or not I can officially post the theme, so no links at this time.
I really don't know much about theming, and I know Asimmons could use some help working out the kinks with the black text and some other things - so to my great and wonderful Eris themers, if someone wants to either take over or help with this project - please take the reins!
Cool, great job. I'm very interested in this as well and will be glad to help.
I was just thinking over the weekend that I guess I'm gonna have to start figuring out how to theme because it seems like all the good dark themes are getting neglected these days.
I want to keep up with latest froyo, but I want my dark flavor as well......
Hey I'm working on porting this right now, I've made some good headway but still far from a release I'm attempting to make it into a metamorph theme I'm at least a couple days away from working most of the issues but if anyones still interested I'd be willing to post it when its finished

I'm in! I've been able to get a good chunk of Asimmons hero port working on my Eris, but the work has been mostly manual at this point and definitely not something that could be metamorphed or zipped.
Have you got the text thing figured out? I'm downloading the theme and the porter right now and following your footsteps.......I will probably have some questions though if you don't mind.

After some research I found a lot of people with text color issue in porting this theme so instead of trying to change the system font color which is a very difficult task I used a simple workaround to make all buttons popups and menus readable
The hardest part is done IMO so ill hopefully have a full version ready by the end of the week
Sent from my Floyo Tazz using XDA App
I was thinking the same thing, it would be better to change the button and chooser backgrounds rather than trying to figure out how to change the font color. I tried just about everything in the .xml files in framework-res.apk, but wasn't able to make a dent myself.
I'm so glad that you're working on this - definitely deserves a beer BTW, are you porting the default gold or another color?

I really appreciate the work both of you are doing on this.....I was messing around with it last night and realize how much time it takes. I think I'll still work on some theming myself just for the fun of it, it is really interesting. But knowing this theme will be ported over, and working on Floyo, makes me .
Thanks.

No, I've got that down, i'm more looking for a concept to build on, like how we have black froyo and what not, im looking for suggestions on what kind of theme to make. but thank you for your response
Professional, clean lines/sharp, color choices that are easy on the eye, easily readable.. something that looks more professional/modern.
black/slate blue/gray
OK sorry about that. Thought you were talking about something else.
If I were to do a theme Id like to do something centered around engine block orange With transparency's
Windows 3.1 had a color theme called "Hot Dog Stand."
I would love to see that ported to the vibrant.

I think i will most likely do the clean sharp and professional just cuz we need something to show other people who get phones for work to show them that these are just not toys. I do like the idea of a engine/car inspired theme tho that one is going to take alot of creativity to do. I will probably start with a clean and professional one. See what it turns into and use that to help me solidify my skill set. I know most people nowadays are using either tw d4a or eijenhar and i think most of the key roms are KA7 based.
Aren't most of these roms based off the deodexed voodoo ka7 kernel? if so thats what i will likely start themeing for.

There is a new leak, doubtful you will ever be able to keep up (not a hit on you, just moves fast)....
KA7 and the voodoo kernel is money though. I am wanting to try Eugenes new kernel, but have not yet.. sounds like he has really improved the battery. Currently running Flagship V3 with no plans to switch, best rom I have used to date.
Glad to hear you are taking the clean route!
