The only thing stopping us from releasing Themer on other resolutions is that we don't have the resources to re-build each theme for the ones we'd like to support, including: 480x854 (lots of devices), 800x1280 (Galaxy Note 1), 768 x 1280 (Optimus G), and any other phone you might have.
If anyone would like to help out, let us know. This requires extreme attention to detail, skills with Photoshop, and deep familiarity with the Themer design tools (including Everything Widget). Obviously you also need to have a device with one of the above (currently unsupported) resolutions.
Please note that when we talk about resolutions, we are referring to the out-of-the-box available screen resolution, excluding any space taken up by softkeys/navigation bar.
If you want to work on this, PM me. Please explain why you'd be a good candidate (examples of themes you've built, proof of Photoshop expertise, etc.)
Thanks!

Just guessing...
Most of the modders - like me - uses different DPI resolutions. For example I modded my downloaded theme to match my 190 dpi setting, moving icons, shadows, and so on. Would not be a nice idea if the elements should be placed relative to screen, instead of fixed-pixel-based position ?

Guys,
There is no need to individually create themes at each DPI. There are plenty, CM Theme chooser and Buzz Launcher that both are DPI independent. Maybe dig around in there code to learn how, but having a theme for each DPI might be a mistake, as people will use other launchers if the theme they want isn't usable

I agree that it is a misstake. I wan't my navigation at 70% or 36 DPI and this means that I can't see any theme in this launcher, but if I change to stock layout and apply a theme and then change back to navbar at 70% the themes still work great. Is there a way to see and apply themes if you don't have stock dpi and navbar? If not it's a dumb move by the developers sense the themes seems to work fine.
It seems like it could be a great launcher if it worked "like it should", but I uninstalled it after a few mins and wen't back to Nova.
Hope you fix the launcher so people can change rom, dpi, navbar etc without the app complaning about it and not showing any themes...
If you are including tablets is galaxy gab 3 then count me in

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?
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.

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.
This was built on the stock Verizon wireless 4.1.2, might work for others aswell but untested
YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE A DEODEXED ROM, you have been warned.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, you assume all risk.
I have been a longtime MIUI user, as I enjoy their simple theming techniques....since there is a lack of development of MIUI for our phone, I set out to make the stock rom look as cool as my old phone (never been thrilled by the stock ics text icons in electric blue or any other color, we have these cool arse phones with unappealing graphics....time to change that!). After getting close to 3 days of battery with heavy use (and I mean heavy use, backups, flashing and playing games) and Bluetooth not dropping off in my car while listening to music, I thought it was time to stay stock. (please do understand this is in no way shape an attack at the awesome devs who make roms for us, ad im sure ill eventually start flashing custom roms soon)
lots of the default plain arse black background have been changed to a more appealing dark brown.
Here we go,
What we have here is a BuuF Theme, that still a work in progress.
This theme looks best with the Buuf golauncher or ADW theme and lockscreen theme, however I plan to theme the stock Moto launcher and unlocker.
so far here is whats themed:
contacts
deskclock
geniewidget
gmail
parts of homescreen
messaging
mot camera
moto email
phone
settings
systemUI
framework
apks added and themed:
gallery goolge with 4.2 camera (with working photosphere) <---this will change your device name in build.prop to work properly
miui apps added and themed:
MiFileExplorer
MiNotes
MiuiDeskclock
MiuiMusic
mods included:
1% battery
dsp manager
photosphere
I also have made the corresponding BuuF GoLauncherEX theme and a BuuF GoLocker theme I will be releasing shortly..
the clock in my screenshot is a beautiful widget witht he andromeaBuuF theme applied (I plan to make my own to match this theme in the future)
as this theme is a work in progress, things can and will constantly change...
Please do comment and ask for requests, but please do know I work full time and have a family, so be patient.
credits to: paul Davey - mattahan for the awesome artwork
Bignadad for his jellybean theme I cherry picked the 1% mod from
anybody and everybody who has ever done any work on any phone for us crackflashers to enjoy!

i'm a long time both buuf and miui fan (it even sounds compatible :cyclops and enjoyed/abused your work in various forms - importing/exporting, modifying for various devices, etc. like yourself, working hard (to the best of my knowledge <> which is rather poor) to customize my phone not loosing performance.
1. is there any chance that you make an updated buuf theme for TSF Shell (launcher)? i can fw the launcher and existing buuf theme/shell .apks if you decide to do it.
2. couldn't find any of your work for go launcher ex - went through all the themes/locks last night and there's no sign of bytegobuuf!?
thnx for yor work, there are people who really appreciate it!

i used the cf auto root and NH7 so still 4.4.4
im looking for some suggestions from the experienced users of either app or themes based on my needs.
im vision impaired and deaf so sound is whatever but vibrations are great if customized. as for vision, i work best with the dark themes. mainly like everything is a black nackground with light colored text. even google chrome. i can do it on my pc but not phone and i did try firefox but altho it worked, not very stable to use. i do tend to lean towards go launcher bc of editing how i like and still simple icons. nothing fancy or whatnot. but another app would be like a note pad where background is black, font is white but you can change the size of the font. ive tried blackbook app but its perfect if i could just change the font size. can anyone suggest any dark themes or apps that could benefit me? im not to ready to update to lollipop yet but if its the only way to get certain things i need, i will but for now i would like to try to stick with android 4.4.4. thank you in advance to any help and advice!

Hi , have you tried to change your font size ? Go to settings/device/font/font size and you can change your font size. Or you can change style also while your there 5 fonts that come with the device. Or you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 download and install this APK and you have 500 different fonts to choose from.
Can anyone make PIE ROM which is look like samsung one ui or sony xperia ui with their media apps like music, gallary, and some of their best features or any different look.
Because early days some dev make that type of roms but now days no one make that type of rom and I just bored of same look of every rom
Lol??
Not many innovations had happened in custom ROMs scene for a long time in terms of UI/UX design and overall development is more or less dedicated on porting existing "features". And I doubt that's going to change, since you need people who are capable of not just developing applications, but also who have knowledge of human interaction and design to create something different/new. No one would provide these type of skills for a free of charge, since these are more creative and not just simply technical. So demand of people with said skills are insanely high in the job market. That said there is enough opportunities for them to express themselves out there for a good pay. Not to mention it's not a job for one person but a dedicated team.
So the best that you can expect is ports of said apps and ROMs. And I'm not completely sure, if these specific ROMs that you have mentioned are ported, but I'm certain that you can find quite a few of them from a different (to your mentioned) manufacturers out there. And of course, these types of ports might not be perfectly stable or functional, since, in most cases, you would need to reverse engineer parts of them to make sure they are working fully as intended, because they might not be available as an open source material. So it's not really that simple. But if all you need is a ROM with Samsung's etc. apps, I'm pretty sure you can do that yourself by changing included apps with the ones you like... Not to mention the fact that most of the time - by default - if not in apps, you spend by looking at a phone's launcher. So change that to the likes of Nova or sth. which lets you customize your experience to something more unique.
Try Project Pearl or DotOS
They have some different UI
I don't remember but may be at the time of cyanogen there is cm theme app which have samsung ui, htc ui, xperia ui and different themes which change icons, wallpapers, statusbar icons, fonts, notification, settings, dialers, message, calc app looks.
