I am looking to create a theme for a particular show that many of the fans have been asking for. I have used many ROMs in the past but I've always liked CM better than all the others (Been with them since V1). I know not everyone uses CM. So my question is how do I create a theme that is universal? Universal as in can be used on all Android devices, whether it's stock, rooted, or has a custom ROM installed. Thank you!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Please?
You can only theme certain aspects for every rom, including unrooted users. You'd have to make a zip with icons, dock, and wallpaper and let the users theme it themselves. Or you could make a theme for a launcher, like ADW. You can't change the systemui or framework that way. Best bet would be to make a theme for CM7, that's the best way to reach the largest number of people. You can make the icons and such available for others, and allow someone to port it to their rom if wanted.
You're not going to reach everyone since roms and phones vary so widely.

Can I use this kind of theme with ADW?
Does anyone know if EX Launcher themes are compatible with ADW launchers?

Hi All,
Since most of us have been moving to US Tmob and GB froyo, the blur launcher has been tweeked and made to work like a gem. It is really smooth and I do not find necessity to go to Launcher Pro.
Walter had previously put out a themed blur launcher like this one for his MS2 ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743372
Unfortunately it cannot be used on these froyo builds. Can anyone please theme the stock launcher please?.
I tried many times on all froyo builds to make the themed launcher work but could not do so. Walter had given a zip file to install it from CWM but that kept bricking the phone and I had to use alternate launcher to keep the phone running and flash an sbf.
Can anyone do that pleaaase ?
Im with you on this one too. I actually like the original blur launcher but it would be nice if you could actually change the assignment of the right hand button to go to text messaging or setttings etc..
Wondering where walter is these days. He can help if he sees this.

This is back up and running again guys, Give a big thanks to Af974 who was able to open up the threads super quick.
This is basically a Theme Request thread themers can refer to , to pick up projects people want, or to get feedback on ideas they have personally.
This is also if anyone makes a theme and wants to show off screenshots before they release it (or not).
I always take a lot of consideration into these requests and I hope other themers want to use this thread also.

I was wondering if you could possibly do a theme for MikShifted-G v1.5 based on the monster lock ring? I remember Dread7 did a monster theme for CM7 which was really nice. You could probably just do a skin of it with a metamorph for the things that can't be skinned. Thanks in advance!

Ill put it on a list in the OP
I can't find it now. But I definately have a few requests for you. Great idea BTW
Would it be possible make a Disturbed (the band) theme? I guess if possible I would use any ROM that this would be made for, up to the themer on choice of ROM.

I added it to the OP.
BTW: If you dont specify any type of ROM then whichever themer takes it up will probably just use the ROM they do they most theming for
I have one personal request but after I am done with that if no themer has picked yours up yet I will get to yours.
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the "Today in History" HTC widget compatible with the Supreme Sense V2 ROM? It loads fine, it just don't seem like it can be activated as is, like its missing something thats required that may be found in the ROM you guys are pulling the sense 3.0 from. I would have asked directly in the ROM thread however I don't have 10 posts
Also I'm looking for an all black rosie or transparent, I would give it a go myself but I'm not sure how to edit the rosie. Last but not least It would be great if the full Wood theme could be ported in. All black or wood grain is the way I roll, I themed my own black version using bits and pieces from every theme thats been rolled out to make it perfect for my taste, I still have to work on the widgets and the Rosie then it'll be perfect, but it definitely would be awesome to get the fully themed Wood, widgets and all, so I can switch between the 2.
I really couldn't be more happy with my Evo Shift I do appreciate you guys work and hopefully in the future once I get all the framework aspects down of this compile, I can contribute something as well. Anyhow thats all just thinking out loud throwing idea's around of what I personally would like to see accomplished. If any of that could be tackled that would be great.

For your black theme I released an all black theme yesterday.
About the today in history widget, well maybe strapped365 can look at it but hes the only one who messes with the ROM itself.
as for a wood theme I will add it to the OP. Maybe a themer will get around to it soon
There are some 2.1 widgets that do not play nice with the 3.0 stuff added...

Yeah I kind of worked over the black version theme with a blend of the Supreme Sense v2 theme layout and edited a few aspects of prboy1969 transparent status bar mod and rolled it into 1, but I still haven't come across a rosie that really tops off what i'm trying to accomplish. A transparent rosie could be ideal, and maybe a remapping of the personalize key if possible, to messages. I need to learn how to edit the rosie

Yeah, I have it, just not quite the same though as a full CM theme, the ADW launcher theme looks good, but a full theme would be leagues above it.

I personally wouldn't know where to start with a theme chooser theme but another themer will hopefully pick it up

EpicBlues update?
Your EpicBlues theme port for Supreme Sense was my all time favorite. But it doesn't work with the newer versions. I'd like to see an update of EpicBlues for Supreme Sense, MikG, or (and?) Synergy!
Thanks!

What is the best ROM for themeing? I don't really enjoy Sense and want an as close to stock ROM for the 3D. Any ideas of which one to look into?

i don't know what you mean by stock but if you mean a world without sense
CyanogenMod 7 is your best choice it also has a built in theme chooser so you can make a theme that stays persistent even as the rom gets updated
Also, if you're looking for something that is stock with ICS, Miui looks pretty badass with their ICS theme and launcher pro. That's what I'm on now and have been loving it so far.

The main reason I ask is I did a theme using UOT Kitchen and wanna check it out, I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree and don't think it will flash completely with all the Sense nonsense going on
MIUI is by far the most themed IMO...there are hundreds of ready made themes and the built in theme manager allows you to mix and match lock screen type with icons with drawer type, font etc....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271824 is the ROM

Hello XDA Members,
I want you to join me on a project in creating an theme for the Galaxy Player.
The Goal of this project should be:
- The compatibility to all Galaxy Players
- An consistent theme to all Galaxy Players, it should be modern and themed for everyone.
- It should be available to some launchers.
Everyone is free to join.
Everyone can take part.
At this time, i'm searching members for the project.
Post here and give your idea how it should look like.
Also if you are interested in creating pictures for the theme or coding the theme you also can post here.
First of all we need a name.
Post your Ideas.
Mike "Tecardo" Leitner
Since Samsung hasn't interest in update of our Galaxy Player... We must create a ICS Theme or Launcher very similar to original... That's my opinion cuz i really like the appearance of ICS
this was also an idea of me,
The Holo Theme is simple, modern and nice.
Meh I don't like the ICS theme that much. There is already a theme for that.
I wanted a MIUI theme, becuase no one has achieved to port MIUI launcher to the Player yet (if I'm correct). Something elegant is nice in my opinion.
But I have no knowledge of coding, sorry .
I do like this project though!
How about change GlassLock screen to TapLock?
I think Tap lock is looks good
I'm intrigued....
http://developer.android.com/design/index.html
I think this website will be helpful for us when we make
ICS theme maybe(?). We can see many detailes about ICS looks(?) in this website
Yes, i know about this site.
It is important, that we make something, that everyone of us would accept.
That means also some drawbacks for some
A list of your ideas:
An ICS Style
An MIUI Style and TapLock instead of GlassLock.
Instead of creating a ICS theme from scratch, we can try porting Vertumus' ICS Domination Theme if he allows us to. It will be easier than building from scratch.
Yes, right.. I will try this this week.
I'm busy with ics and miui.

Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that has a different feel?

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.
PS Holo is beautiful

And blue is the worst colour for screen burn in
Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.
