I am very new to some of this stuff. This is my first theme and I hope you like it. I used UOT Kitchen and The framework and systemui apks from the Quantum theme. I wanted to keep the notification toggles in. I hope to be theming the dialer soon and adding more tweaks. Thank me if you want, but I won't be upset if you don't. Give thanks to Jokersax11. I used most of his stuff to put this together. I just wanted to contribute in some way. Please enjoy and don't forget to let me know what you think or give any ideas as to what you might like added. I make no promises though as to what I can get done. Also launcher wallpaper and clock not included.
Note: this is not a Pittsburgh Steelers theme. I am just a fan.
Version 2.2
Added Black Settings menu.
People to thank:
Jokersax11 for his properly working update.zip files (mine never work. lol).
Also for the skinny rom as this would not be possible without it.
Thanks to Motempo for his notification toggles.
Also thanks to Rangerby for bringing the notification toggles to our Mo-phos.
Sorry for forgetting you guys.
KTT16 for his dialer. I just gave it the yellow infusion you craved.
If you want a good Steelers dialer to go with it then head on over to Admiralj21s' page and get his. Also don't forget to thank him.

Overall I think the theme is good. I think that the battery indicator. Color could flow with the rest of the theme better (maybe start yellow and fade to red?). The blue vibrate/silence icon looks out of place as well. I find the font difficult to work with also, but it is available without so that's great.
Thanks for your hard work! I'll look forward to the updates.
Oh, like the boot animation as well.
Just finished the dialer and lock screen. Will post tomorrow.

Redesigned the theme and have to say it looks better. I will update tonight. New additions will include better battery icon, notification drop down, themed lockscreen and settings menu icons from htc. Going to start on the keyboard this weekend along with other things as I work a lot and don't have much time throughout the week.
Nice job! I don't personally like a black & yellow theme, but if I were to like it, this would be my theme! NICE JOB!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Thanks. I plan on making many more. I was going to do a black and blue theme, but Ktt16 beat me to it. lol I just learned to do the .9 pngs so it will allow me to further my theming abilities. I think I am going to try a green theme with custom icons next, but before I do I will try and learn the keyboard and sms theming.

Most of it is easy. It is the .9 pngs that give you trouble. You need the android sdk, java jre, and eclipse just to edit them properly. Took me about a week to figure it all out. If you want to edit lock screens and some other system and framework icons you will definitely need all those things. I was getting tired of not having the kinds of themes I wanted on here, so I just took it upon myself to learn it. I am still learning, but would be glad to help you.
Just updated again. I will try and slow these down. lol
While I do appreciate any effort towards Photon development.....I gotta say man...this theme is terrible. The screenshots of your home screen are muddled and lack any sort of order. The colors are inconsistent and ugly and the notification and lock screen icons look like crap.
Sorry for ragging on your theme and homescreen setup but it just needs alot of improvement. Keep at it man...you'll get there...try being more minimalistic with it. Only mod what you need to...not everything needs to be completely changed.
Once again I apologize for being harsh and thank you for your contribution.

Well I have been working hard to polish it. I am not offended by your statement after reading your previous posts I have come to the conclusion that negativity is just your nature. Instead of hating on my theme you could take the time and make a nice one of your own. That is if it doesn't eat into your time ragging on other peoples work. I asked that anyone give me input about this theme if they flash it. I wonder if you even tried flashing it or just looked at a couple of screenshots and made your decision there. If it's not appealing to you, then go on to the next theme that does appeal to your liking. Also I am still new to this stuff and as this is my first theme, I know it won't be my best. I however am very proud of it and I think I should be. Instead trolling around here looking for something, I took it upon myself to make my own. What have you done except waste my time by having me put together this reply.
Dude, that was really f'd up man. How was that supposed to encourage more people to theme at all? make your own theme and see if that kind of criticism would be helpful to you.
Yo jf, don't worry about his comment. Your theme is great..and these are our first themes...mine is my first ever. I am by far my harshest critic. Keep up the good work man, and we'll get even better.

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.

This is the Revolution theme FOR Gummyjar 2.1. This theme is similar to the way it is on ApeX, with the sliders and all. It doesnt replace any apps, only the framework.res apk.
Make sure to mount system when flashing, no need to wipe of course.
This is my first attempt at anything of this nature so take it easy on me guys

good stuff man, looks good
I was noticing that the themes on here seem to be repeating to some extent and are usually monotone in color. In other words they get boring quick, to me at least. So maybe its time to take theming to another level? For example how about a theme with the new Crysis 2 video game? Im sure there could be some really nice themes made with that. I attached the URL for a video of it. But the possibilities are endless. This is not me demanding or requesting but just suggesting or trying to push theming to whole new level I guess. Im sorry if I offended anyone and Sorry if this comes under excessive unecessary posting. Mods please remove if you believe this is wrongly posted. Anyways thanks for your time.
Hmm maybe its just me but I like my themes simple, just black white, black yellow etc. Not really fan of crazy themes.
just my 2cent opinion.
feeling generous? buy me some redbulls by clicking donate button!
?????? Monotone, Take the time to search there has to be at least 10 themes for bionix ranging in all types of colors I alone have 4 posted here. They are simple themes but they offer different color choices.
Hope that helped.....

Lol yea simple is nice but wouldn't just one theme with alot of creativity spark the whole forum? It just seems like most of the themes are the same color repeated over and over.
All I know, there are only three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue. I think, it's a matter of composing colors and shapes that make theme more interesting.

I meant monotone in that each theme only has 1 color 2 max. We need more themes that are coordinated. From the looks of it crysis theme looks good but idk yet because I havent tried it. Waiting for him to finish the bionix version (no phone them yet)
This theme is a dark red with regular red combination. A lot of attention is paid to detail, and you'll find it's a very nice combination. Resources, Framework, Phone MMS, and GMail are all themed. No screenies of Gmail for privacy reasons, but it is themed.
Made some changes on 10/28/2012. Added images on the home screen for people and messages, and status bar is themed. This theme is sick.
It will only work on Mean Rom any version from 3.9 and up, the mods Mikey is making on his ROM are mainly tweeks so no problem on compatibility. Given how fast Mean Rom is updating I have made this to work on future releases as well. Check out the people icon after you load it
Flash in recovery, and wipe both caches. Note: You have to flash transparent curtain for recent apps to work.
Changed images for people, mail, settings, and messages
