I do have 2 small requests for anyone reading this or downloading this theme.

1) If you want to use or port this theme as your own ask me first. I spent a lot of time editing these images and want to know where it's going and that proper credit is given.

2) I recently realized the lack of real feedback in the android community. I see tons of mods and themes with over 1,000's of downloads and only 10 people where able to take the second to hit the thanks button. Also multiple apps on the market with millions of downloads and only 10,000 comments that's a pretty low percentage!! I hate to sound demanding but come on people!!!! It only takes seconds to do this and it's gives us themers, modders, and hackers something to go off of and keep doing what we do.

Lastly I wanted to give thanks to all the members of the various Android forums that wrote guides for people like me to learn stuff like this. With out the community I would not be able to do the things I'm learning to do. And also a quick thanks to UOT kitchen for the battery icons and the animated background. I hate making those crazy xmls lol.

Non-Animated Notification Pulldown Download link: (No longer needed in v1.0)

Thank you to fernando sor for the base Inverted SystemUI.apk!!

This is not a complete theme. You must flash the full theme first then this will remove the cubed animation in the notifications.

It also fixes the time stamp on notifications.

[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
nice job downloading as we speak...cant wait..

THANKS!!

After installed theme:

WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR GREAT JOB!

The Live picture on the notification is my

Favorite part.. i hope u keep working on this

cus your doin a GREAT job..it would be great

if more icon were themed too like market,people,

music, internet and ect. but i know its a work in progress

so im pretty sure you will but looks great..
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I should be able to get a good update or 2 before ICS becomes stable. I was having some issues with the market but I think I have it figured out. I'll include more app icons in the next version too forgot about those. Thanks for the feedback!
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
Nice..no problem..yea there getting close on the ICS..are planning to make a theme for it too wen its stable or will it be a lil harder to theme?

lol sorry for goin off topic
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I haven't looked at the ICS framework so I hope they didn't mocve too much around or it may take some figuring out. More than likely I'll port theme to an isc build.
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
hmmm after 30mins the status bar FC and the notification completely disappeared..rebooted it n now its back..
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
Thus far I haven't run into any issues. Looks great.

Sent from the lab of Dr.Sadistic
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
Yea everything else runs FLAWLESS but it jus happened again but for like 2 seconds and pop rite back up but the FC didnt pop up this time, i think it happened wen i got a gmail notification..not sure tho
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
I tested tthe Gmail notification and had no issues. Been running for a few hours now with zero issues. I love the rotating animation in the pull down menu!

Sent from the lab of Dr.Sadistic
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I didnt change anything in the regular mail or gmail apps hmmmm...
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
Dang therev25! This is a nice theme. I am excited about ics but I'm pulling for a long wait assuming you still intend to continue the RedZ.. thanks.

: gallery is way nice.. the red is slick.. this really is some nice work.
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
Did fix permission and everything good now
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Warning. Possible n00b question ahead (first smartphone so first time geeking out over my phone)...

Do you need root for this? I just grabbed a skin but it was an app I downloaded from the market. I've installed apps using adb before but based on the instructions it sounds like root is required.

I will be rooting but am studying up on Android OS and flashing ROMs/kernels before I do.

Also, once this is flashed, is it added to the skin/theme options on the phone so that it can be selected and deselected (blasphemy I know)? And is it all or nothing or can certain elements be changed, such as wallpaper or something like that.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Wait, you're a noob? You seem so seasoned in all your posts! :D

To answer your questions... yes you need to be rooted to flash this. This will not be a skin as it is a theme that you have to flash from recovery. It will not be added anywhere like the HTC skins. This will simply be applied to your phone. That means that you can continue to use that skin if you want to in order to add a little more to it. I'll be running this in a second and using one of the skins that was just released recently. And most of this should be all or nothing, in a sense. You will still be able to change things just like you could with the stock theme. Meaning that you will be able to change the wallpaper and stuff.

EDIT: You also need to realize that this is a theme for Ineffabilis. That means that you need to be running that ROM to use this theme. If you try to flash this theme on top of a different ROM or the stock ROM, you could have serious issues. Still can't get over that you're a noob haha

EDIT 2: You also don't need to use adb for this. You can just download it, put it on your sd card, boot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik, then select flash zip menu. You can then select it off your sd card. Much easier than doing it through adb, imo.

EDIT 3: Seriously, you're a noob????? Like, I hope you don't take this as an insult, but I just can't get over it. I consider you one of the select few who know what you're doing! I'm impressed :)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yup, total n00b. :D Except that I've been reading almost every post in the Rezound forums studying up on what I need to know about the phone and rooting/flashing etc. I have to get my geek fix here cuz my girlfriends just wanna talk about pregnancy, adoption, etc...

Yeah, I plan on flashing Ineffabilis ROM and I think dsb kernel, or maybe Ziggy's.

Thanks for the help and the compliment!
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Haha, no problem. I am thoroughly impressed. If only more would read everything before posting :D I would definitely recommend Ineffabilis, though it will be dead soon. It is the best ROM right now, imo, but there will be better to come with the ICS leak out. I would suggest using that ROM for now, though. I like Ziggy's kernel, too, but others have had their issues with it. I've been running it since I rooted and haven't had an issue yet. (Well, it does bootloop when I'm charging it and it hits a full charge). But it's pretty stable for me. I'm flashing this theme right now, but I'll be using the Red Beats Skin on top of it.

Edit: This is to the OP... I didn't want to flash this because I thought it kind of looked meh in the pictures. Just flashed it and holy crap it's gorgeous! :) Big props and hope you keep adding themes for all the ICS ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Thanks wasabi! I'll try and to add some better screenshots tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Yeah, the only thing I was still unsure of after flashing it was the font. I read too much on my phone and it was starting to bother me. I just installed the Roboto font, though, and I love it again :) You should make other colors like blue and green :D You know, if you have time haha
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
Thank you sooo much for making this theme! I love my REDzound now :D
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
If/when you get to this can you make them bigger as well? I have to hurry up and get comfortable enough to root now so I can flash this theme! :D
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
WOW, this is awesome.

I am running this in conjunction with the red beats theme & it looks stunning!!

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

I need to add, everyone here is chomping at the bit to get ICS but I am definitely not one of them.

I use phones at work all the time with ICS (some of my co-workers have the Galaxy Nexus) and at this point with the Ineffabilis ROM, this red theme, the red Beats theme, iphone style text bubbles etc etc all combined I definitely like my setup better than ICS.

I'm not saying I'll NEVER switch, but I am 1000% happy with my setup now & it will stay this way for a long time to come.

[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
You are doing it the right way at least. Learn before you leap. We were all there once.

[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Updated the op with a few more larger pics :) more to come....
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
was wondering wen your next update will be..

THANKS
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
This is actually quite nice. I was wondering what a red theme would look like. Cant wait to see what it looks like when you are finished. Awesome job.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Just to let you know questions like that (eta's) will get you flammed on other threads. But I'm packaging it up right now to test. If everything looks good then I'll post it up in a day or 2. If not then it'll probably be a few more days.
[HTC Rezound] devilman30:
Thank you for the theme!

Aloha Therev,

Really enjoying your theme, but came accross a bug today. After dialing i noticed that the alignment of the phone number is off quite a bit. I hope your able to fix this in your next release. I would also like to request if at all possible is to see if your able to include red glow 3G / 4G icon. I have been looking for a total red glow theme (icons/keyboard/fonts/menu.. ect)... Hope you consider.

Mahalo Bro.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
On the in call screen? I didn't change the margins. Is it cut off or just off-centered?

I may do a separate mod with different statusbar icons once I have time to create some. :D

On a separate note. you guys are gonna love the update!!!:D:D!!!

All titlebars and buttons are black. I added a few more apps with themed icons so the file is up to 70mb's!!

I have to fix 2 text strings but I know where they are, should be a quick fix. Update should be up tomorrow night if all goes well.
[HTC Rezound] Naisaelee21:
my bad im jus getting anxious..but looking forward to the update.. sounds awesome

keep up the good work
[HTC Rezound] devilman30:
Mahalo for the speedy reply. The phone number is off center.. that's the only flaw I came across. Looking forward to your latest creation!

Mahalo bro.
[HTC Rezound] 1967ls2:
Anyway to get this without the cubed animation in the notification pull down? For me at least it is useless and just slows things down with no actual benefit.
[HTC Rezound] numbroino21:
Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
So... I left my pc running all night to optimize everything and I guess it went into sleep mode and stopped :( It takes a quite a few house and I don't know how much longer it has. I may have to push the update out until tomorrow. Just wanted to let you all know.

And whoever asked for the app icons to be themed like contacts. Thank you!!! I was looking for the phone icon for a while and couldn't find it. Never thought it would be in contacts.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yea, that happened to me a couple times today also.

~John
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
If you fix permissions in recovery you should be good to go.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
updated op with new screenshots!!!

oh and I updated the 2nd post with a new d/l link too ;);):D:D
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Looks good and nice font choice ;) I'll be grabbing it tonight probably. Nice work!
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
yeah, it's hard to decide between the two but I think I'll stick with Roboto for a bit.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I just think it's a little easier to read for long periods of time. The other one looked cool, but it made it hard to read large chunks of text after a while.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I switched to roboto also for the same reason.

~John
[HTC Rezound] devilman30:
Updated theme is awesome.. but still getting call screen issue.

Aloha Sir,

Thanks for the update ... looks and responds great, however still getting call screen phone number misalignment. Is there something I'm missing?

Mahalo in advance.
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I haven't looked into yet. Im actually trying to find a screen shot of how it should be. I always remember it being off to the right.
[HTC Rezound] tjdub:
I've never been a fan of red but this theme looks amazing on the phone, thanks
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Thanks tjdub.

Updated 2nd post with a Non-animated notifications pulldown. If you are not partial to the animation I recommend flashing it. It fixes the time stamp on notifications.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
Thank you so much for providing this theme. I really love Non-animated notifications pulldown. :D
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Thank you for this. When I first installed the theme, I thought that was the coolest feature ever but after the novelty wore off it just became an unnecessary distraction.

~John
[HTC Rezound] tjdub:
Nah I'm good,I can deal with the time stamp,the animated pulldown is one of my favorite features.I went to pay my bill at Verizon and one if the guys saw my phone and started drulling ,he coudent understand how I got it to look so cool, lol

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

It was like showing fire to a cave man
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Nice!

I will hopefully have some time this weekend to get the theme up to v1.0 and hopefully have some choices of animated pulldowns and if time warrants some new statusbar icons
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
Will this be compatible with Ineff dues ICS ROM?

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Right now it is only for gingerbread . In time I will do an ICS port but I haven't settled on a rom build and it seems the dev's haven't either. It won't be anytime soon unfortunately.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Couple questions before I flash this...

Should I not have a skin applied when flashing or does it matter? Right now I have the beats Red skin. And how about other changes to stock like wallpaper and clock widget?

Once this is flashed, if I wanted to revert back to not using it, you know, like if I became delirious and lost my mind and wanted to something CRAZY like that, would I have to restore a nand or is there a way to "unflash" it so to speak?

The only other thing I really want to do to this phone is change the icons but I'm not sure I can even do that if I'm using Sense. Haven't found a way yet. Alternatively, I'd like to take one of the Sense clocks and use it in ADW which has the icons I like. So either I can do it or not but this theme won't be the determining factor, is that correct?
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I have not changed the wallpaper or clock widget so those will stay how they are in the beats skin. It is ok to have the skin installed when flashing this.

restoring a nand would be the preferred way. You could do a flash over of the rom but ineffabilis has a wipe built in so that won't work.

You will not be able to use the sense clock on ADW but you can get a sense themed clock from beautiful widgets or fancy widgets.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
this theme looks totally awesome with the red beats theme, that is what I'm running.

I am holding off on going to ICS until all this stuff is compatible with it. My system runs perfectly & I don't really care about ICS anyway.

~John
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Ooo, I like your signature :D :cool:
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Even though you're in beta? :D

Thanks everyone for the responses... looking forward to more redness!

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Okay, so if I learned how to do it could I steal the one clock I like (it's not that white flip clock so I'm not sure anyone has copied it) and add it to use in ADW?

If I use your theme is it still there on other launchers?
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I need much more testing before I get out of beta. :D

Any clock that is in Sense can probably be found in Beautiful Widgets. You just need to look. I could help if you tell me which one you're looking for.

And yes, this theme will theme the entire phone. That means that no matter what launcher you use, you'll still have the theme.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Oh yeah... this looks gooooooooooooooooood. Thanks!

Are you still working on it or have you now moved on to ICS?

All you do with this is change colors, right, I mean you don't add any options to any menus? I ask because I'm wondering about having an option to not color the message bubble. I like red but that shade is a bit bright and tomato red for me, making it a little harder on the eyes. Personally I would think it might be "better" to be a little more to the crimson color and faded to make it lighter. Just personal preference but thought I'd throw it out there. ;)
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I have 2 more changes/edits to make then I'll update this theme to v1.0

final

. As soon as those changes stop being elusive :mad:

I didn't add any settings tweaks, I leave those to the devs until I learn how to stop breaking stuff and actually add functionality. :D

After this is updated and there is either an official ics build or a leak of the official build then I will start working on a redz ics theme.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I forgot to ask about that notification animation. I don't seem to have it but I never flashed the extra thing to get rid of it. Was just wondering where it is, could I be missing it? Curious as to what it is.

Maybe the beats skin does something to it?

Maybe the little red android ate it?

EDIT: I just looked at your pics again and I don't have the black bg on the notification drop down. Mine is white. Maybe it's a ROM setting...

EDIT 2: Yes it was. I unchecked "transparent bg" for notifications and now it's like your pic.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree, I love red (using red WP etc) but that message bubble was too much for me also.

I flashed mine back to the blue/green bubbles that look like an ipod as soon as I installed the red theme. The only problem with that was, it turned the home screen message icon back to blue also & I LIKE having that red........
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Thats an easy fix. I'll post an alternate mms.apk with a different in message bubble once v1.0 is finished.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
It bothered me too. Thanks for adding this to v1.0. This theme great and will definitely dl v1.0 :D

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Oh, that's so nice of you. Now jmorton didn't quote me completely so I'm voting for still having red but more of a crimson shade and kind of faded out looking so it's lighter. ;)
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
Try this one and let me know what you think. I faded it out a little.

If I'm going to post an alternate mms.apk I want to make sure it's liked I don't mind changing it again if its not liked:D

http://www.mediafire.com/?9391juc3c762qjc
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
not as blaring, i like it.. but that's just my vote :cool:
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, that is easier to read. Since you asked... ;) personally I like less of an orange red, but it's fine as is.

DigiDave, yours looks salmon! I'll add a pic from my phone...

okay, definitely looks more orangy on the computer than on my phone, but I would still vote for more red. I posted a shot of my home screen as a comparison.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
yeah, i was gonna say maybe a bit more red
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree..........
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
not a prob, I'll do up another one tonight and go for a bit more red :)
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
..........sweet!
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
How this look

edit: I hate my laptop screen everything looks like crap compared to the rezound's screen :)

http://www.mediafire.com/?p1gna3yeh0cp85v

running the optimizations on v1.0 as I type:D, hopefully it will finish before I go to bed
[HTC Rezound] BeatThisBox:
Thank you so much for this theme! Whenever I got my Rezound I wanted a red theme so bad and this is perfect, Great job! :) Can't wait until the v1 release
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
the redder one looks better but the contrast between the blue colored font against the red gives it a trippy effect :p maybe some where in the middle of those 2 shades :rolleyes: but i'm happy with this whole theme anyways so what ever you choose will be fine with me :D
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
looks great on my phone screen. :)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
oh yeah, that one looks awesome.

Thankyou so much, I love it.

[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
The new mms.apk is in v1. 0 :) which is up incase anyone missed it.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
downloading now........... :)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
me too, what's new from the previous setup other than the red MMS??
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Tapatalk just forbade me to give you a thanks... What does it know that you're not telling us? :eek: ;)

Thanks again for all the work. Everyone make sure and buy Therev a beer for the time and effort put in to making such a gorgeous theme.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
... just installed v1.0 and it looks great! thanks again Therev29 for your time and effort with this theme. take a break you definitely need it ;) that way you can be ready to work on the REDzound ICS theme :p

edit: btw the new mms.apk looks perfect :D
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I'll be ready, and glad you like it;)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Hey Therev...

So newtoroot said he is going to work on an update for Ineffabilis that incorporates the OTA. Apparently things have changed and I wanted to know if you think it will affect how this theme flashes. Here is what he said about it in the Ineffabilis thread:
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
If there is heavy framework changes like he said, then flashing this over the new build will more than likely break things if it works at all. If he does post an update then I may have to update this theme to support it:D all depends on the timeline for an official ICS rom
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Thanks. I have it all up and running again so I might just keep it as is until ICS is good. I think I'm still getting the benefits I need from the OTA.

Oh, one thing I notice and want to make sure it's not just me and that this is how it is... when you click on an app on the homescreen, is the color that shows you activated it, that surrounds it, still supposed to be green?
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I think that has to do with the skin not the theme. I've been looking into it and may do a skin so that the theme feels more complete
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I am in no hurry whatever to go to ICS.

I use it at work all the time, a few coworkers have the nexus and it doesn't really do anything that is making me dying to change.

Ineffabilis is by far the most perfect ROM I have ever run on ANY phone and with the red beats theme plus the redzound red added it looks incredible.

The phone is super fast and has no bugs of any kind whatever.

I may swap to ICS eventually after all the bugs are worked out and my two favorite themes are ported to work in ICS, but that's somewhere down the road and I'm definitely in no hurry.
[HTC Rezound] Elite Precision:
Can someone please post the black/red wallpaper for this theme on Page 1? Thanks in advance!!!

[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
glad to see that this might be supporting the OTA. such a sick theme. i always prefer a black/red layout sometimes with white or grey mixed in variously. great work so far
