Currently using Monochrome and love it! I do have one question though: what is the purpose of the yellow line that trails your finger in Messanging? I can't quite figure it out... I apologize if this has been asked before but I really would like to know (and for that matter, if it is possible to turn off!).

Thanks!

UPDATE

Uploading new themes now for RC2.

Call screen bug fixed and Market updated to 2.3.4.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
It's a gesture feature added by cyanogen, has nothing to do with the theme :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Guys, here is a little theme I made based on one of my favorite TV shows: Futurama.

It is very basic, I just themed a bunch of icons and the statusbar pulldown curtain.

Also the Futurama logo in the main screen is the Google Search Widget.

Install via any file manager, apply the theme in theme chooser and REBOOT.

You'll be able to get this on the market for free as I'll be publishing it shortly.

Enjoy :).

Morph trouble

So, I just applied the vivid morph, and I had a bit of a problem. After applying it, I could not select a wallpaper other than live wallpapers. After installing the morph, the phone rebooted, and I was left with the default CM7 live wallpaper. I tried changing to a static wallpaper, and it wouldn't let me. No errors, but the live wallpaper stayed. I changed to the beautifulwidgets live wallpaper, and it worked, but no static wallpapers. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to make a backup before installing the morph, so no problem reverting, but still.

Also, what exactly would the morph add if it had worked?

Oh, and before I catch the next pimpmobile out of here, let me just say, Futurama theme, freaking awesome. Do some more work on that one, and I'll buy it from the market for sure. Love that show, I can quote every episode start to finish. All glory to the Hypnotoad!

Edit: One other thing: I love the Vivid theme, but the new style of the checkboxes is a bit problematic. It makes it harder to see at a glance if something is checked or not. Would it be possible to revert the check boxes to the default style?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
It's already on the market for free.

The morph just installs the features of the theme that can't be themes via Theme Chooser. Not sure about the wallpaper issue as I don't have that.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Just tried lucid on build #15, works fine not having any issues.

Cheers for the futurama theme sonny, looks great
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Any logs or the like I can provide, might help diagnose the wallpaper issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
Did I do something wrong?:

Download Vivid .zip (I see you just uploaded it today)

Reboot into recovery

Flash Zip via recovery screen

I am on CM7 and am coming from your red .zip (forgot name). Does this affect anything?

I am/was stuck on the splash screen for 5+ mins I took the battery out and started the phone, but same thing 5+ mins. Luckily I NANDROID Backed up and am in the process of restoring it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
What version of CM7 are you using, themes are designed to be used with RC1. I best bet is to do a fresh flash of RC1, make sure that you don't have a theme selected via the inbuilt theme chooser. Then reboot in to recovery, and wipe cache and flash the theme.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
Just realized I'm on CM 7.0 RC1 but the zip I downloaded is meant for RC2. Guess I gotta update to RC2. Quick Q: Do I gotta wipe my data before updating to RC2?

(BTW - Thanks for helping me figure it out)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
No just wipe cache and dalvik cache
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
Think I just gave myself a problem... I updated to RC2 and then flashed this zip but, marketplace wasn't working and gmail missing. So then I flashed gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip (this the right one?) But that didn't help. I wiped davlik and regular cache before flashing google apps, but no luck
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
OK flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, sign in, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash theme.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Problem solved

Okay, so not sure what was causing my wallpaper issue with the vivid morph, but it's been resolved. My phone was having some seriously weird issues, so I did a full wipe and installed Nightly 15, and this time it worked. Guess that's what happens when you flash a new rom every day for months without wiping. This is the first time I've had to wipe since I first installed CM7.

On a side note, that Metamorph program is a bit goofy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it errors out when running checks. Don't know why.

Finally, Sonny, what files would I need to replace to get my stock checkboxes back? The new style you put in the Vivid theme is probably the one and only thing I don't like. Figure it's just a couple of .png files that I can swap out from the stock CM7 zip.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
You'd have to swap them in the Vivid apk and then sign it again but then you won't be able to get updates. The files are btn_check_on and btn_check_off.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Checkboxes

Ah, too bad, not worth the effort. Well, I for one vote to revert the checkboxes to the default. What's everyone else think?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Jamxx299:
Hm, strange, it only becomes active when the theme is applied. Oh well, I'm sure it's just a setting I'm not aware of. Thanks! :-)

Trouble

Bit of a problem. I use WidgetLocker as a lockscreen replacement, and I have the Beautiful Widgets Home Weather widget on it. As soon as I apply the Vivid theme and reboot, the widget is gone. I have to add it back after every reboot. Go back to the default theme, and all is well. The widgetlocker dev says it's a problem with the Theme Chooser app. Anyone else have problems? Any suggestions for a workaround?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Sorry, not much I can do until they update Theme Chooser.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] supermario12312:
Wait... Im confused... are these themes something you flash, or do you unzip and install for Theme chooser? I am seriously lost here.

Frost looks pretty cool. Also, how do you apply the fonts? (total noob)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Hi,

The themes that are provided in this thread need flashing view CWM recovery, if you want to use the themes via the inbuilt theme chooser they can be downloaded via the android market.

I've never used the fonts Sonny provides some can't say for sure the best way to apply them, have a read through the thread and see if anyone gives you a guide. the easiest way to change your fonts is an app called absolute system available in the market.

Also there are extras provided in the second post these contain wallpapers and icons, and the file needs to be unzipped and the extras applied manually. wallpapers is obvious, but icons need to be applied using launched pro, and adw ex or desktop visualiser all available in the market.

Also you will see a link to download morphs, these are to be used with the app metamorph, and again available in the market.

And lastly the flashable themes will only work with CM7 RC1.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Bigt2003:
I'm running Vivid from the market with the morph, and I have a suggestion/request. Can you use the Onyx style lockscreen on Vivid & Sublime? It looks so much better than the stock tabs...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Sorry, but a lot of people prefer the sense style tabs.

But here's what you do :):

Open the Onyx morph and drag and drop all the jog_dial (lockscreen) images into the vivid morph in the drawable-hdpi folder.

No need to rezip, resign. Enjoy :).

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
Still didn't work, but you helped me lead to the solution...

I just restored my RC1, and did everything from scratch in the order you said. So thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I want to make your vivid theme more colorful. What I have in mind is changing the wifi and cell bars to multi colors. And maybe change the time 12:00 to different colors. Do I have to mess w/ XML stuff, or is it as "simple" as finding the .png's in your .zip and replacing them w/ my new custom png's?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
To change the clock color you have to edit statusbar.xml in SystemUI, for wifi and data signal, just swap the images. And please share your work :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Icon suggestion

Hey Sonny, nice update for Vivid, new icons are nice. I was wondering if you could add some eReader icons. FBReader just updated with a new icon, and I'm not a fan, figure you could do one better.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] JonInAtl:
Loving the Vivid theme from Market.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Araf:
why VIVID on my DZ doesn't have color icon on "setting" screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] aceman118:
To add to the question about editing the XML. How do you do that? They seem to be encrypted xml. I've been searching for a while but the only thing I've found was an app from the android 1.6 days that would decrypt the xml but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Use Apkmanager to decompile the apks and edit the xmls.

And about the discrepancies in the Vivid theme, the screenshots are from the market version, I will add the widgets/settings mod in the next release (hopefully CM7 stable) but the icons have to be applied manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] eRajesh:
How am I supposed to use the fonts? Flash them via CWM?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Yes.......
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cubanito151:
The link to the guide for the icons is not found when you click on it can you repost it. i really want the icons and the dock.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Look in the first post where it says Icons/Docks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] aer0nz:
Noob question, but what do I do with the Extras zip?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The icons are to be applied manually, that zip is not flashable.

Extract the zip. Pick the icons you like and put them on your sdcard and apply using Launcherpro, ADW or Folder organizer.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Lucid updated to v4.0.

Frost updated to v2.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cubanito151:
Is it possible to get all the apps to look like the custom them with the different picture and all grey like from the icons zip
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
I haven't changed any icons as in the are not embedded in the apks, you are free to use the one's you like.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Enygreatdane:
Great theme appreciate the work bro, just one question...is the lock screen shown in the frost theme included in the theme i haven't flashed yet just would like to know how i can get that lock screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
You have to enable phone and messaging sliders in CM settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Enygreatdane:
ok cool thanks alot !

Yo where can I find this wallpaper
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
Many thanks for the Frost theme - it is amazing. Just a question on widgets - where did you find the one that shows clock and/or battery in words instead of numbers (i.e. eighty three percent instead of 83%)? I couldn't find that in either beautiful widgets or the modded fancy widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] imblacklife:
Check the wallpaper link in the OP

For the battery you can search battstat in the market and the clock you can search clockr...tajm is another text clock that is nice
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
To flash these is pretty much same as rom right?? I know I ain't new to flashing themes.. did it a lot with my G1 but after I flash the first theme, it gets stuck at cyanogens splash screen

UPDATE

Themes updated for CM6.1 Final.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sethrd:
Looks great. Have a few issues on menu selections. Example:

Go into Android Settings -> Cyanogen Mod Settings -> User Interface -> Extra Tweaks -> Select A Theme. The only option I am able to real is the top choice, STOCK. Anything below that is just a black bar. I don't know if it's because I'm running an LCD density of 190 or if it's the theme....

Any menu like that does the same thing. Only the top option is legible...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Looks like the popups are not scaling properly while changing LCD density. Open the stock ROM, go to system/framework/framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi in Winrar. Extract the 10 files named popup_*****.9, put them in the same location in the theme. You can just drag and drop in WinRAR, no need to resign and flash again.

Please let me know if this works or you have anymore questions.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] adrien1977:
Wrong messages?

Hi

So i installed the Vivid theme (i reaaaaaly dig it) on top of CM7 build 17 and Launcher Pro but the messages that i often are kinda wrong.

I have 2 screen shot (the first one scared me actually)

I tried to search the thread but 50 pages is kinda hard to find anything.

Thanks a lot for the help and the theme.

Adrien
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The themes are for RC2. Something changed in Nightly 17 that is causing all these issues. Next theme update will be for RC3 so in the meantime revert back to Nightly 15 :).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Hey just a question. For the fonts I won't have any problems flashing it with the new nightlys?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] adrien1977:
Ok then.

It's alright, i can live with this for a little while.

Now that i got you here ;-), i have a couple other questions.

How come the icons in the settings menu are still in black and white and not nicely colored.

Then, what are the extra for? I though it was written on the first page not to install them

thanks a lot for the past response though.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] adrien1977:
ah, one more thing,

how come we can't see the theme in the theme manager?.

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
The flashable themes don't show up in theme chooser, only apks do.

The settings menu will be themed in the next update.

The extras have to be installed manually using Launcherpro etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] adrien1977:
Sorry for the late reply and the update.

I do have launcher pro.

what exactly do the extras contain if i may ask :o
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] adrien1977:
Just a quick update.

I just updated to 19 and it seems that the wrong text messages have disappeared.

UPDATE:

Never mind, i forgot to update the theme. duhhh:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Well...

Easiest way to answer that is to download the zip and look in it! Short answer is: icons. Lots and lots of icons.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
love the vivid update

Love the new battery icon and charging animation in Vivid, never change it. The theme is pretty much perfect now!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Hi all,

I'm using frost via the inbuilt theme chooser and using the clouds launcher pro mod.

The theme seems to be changing the top part of the widget it should look like this

But comes out like this

Would it just be a case of unzipping the frost.apk and finding the correct pngs and deleting them? Or is there a bit more to it.

Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Hey Chris,

This is happenning because I have themed LPP to match the theme. In the apk, try deleting the XML called fede-launcher something.

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stevedawg85:
I flashed your vivd theme last week and am just now realizing my Menu > Settings aren't colorful like yours... Whats the reason?

Also my contacts are a boring blue pic whereas yours are shiny green.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
Those are some new modifications that I made, they will be included in the next update for RC3.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lou_Cipher:
Market

Had all those for a while now :). You guys should get the market version, gets more frequent updates, and works with any nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mister Ti:
Thank you sonnysekhon for your theme !

I am using Lucid and I love it !

So keep going on !

But...

On the "log-in", when the phone ask for the pin number, I feel the interface is quite ugly compared to the rest of the Lucid theme. I have big grey buttons on the dialer... Could you change it ? Or could you give me some precision to change it ? (Sorry but, I prefer the Sense Rom 'Pin dialer' to the lucid one :S)

I think an interface like your phone dialer would be perfect, isn't it ?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
I haven't changed the log in screen at all, so it's just stock. As of now I am not sure what to change as I couldn't find the grey background in the framework but I will keep digging.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mister Ti:
Ah ok!

I hope you will find it for a next update ;)

If I find something I wil tell you :P

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] aSKAp6uH:
Lucid lockscreen not themed in landscape. Thx for great theme pack. Cm7 rc 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] d@rklink:
Really liking the Lucid theme except for a few minor issues. As the previous poster stated, when in landscape the lockscreen is not themed. I am also noticing that when searching the market, there is no icon next to the suggested searches when they drop down. The last thing, which is most likely me not doing this right, I cannot get the color note mod to install. I don't want the other apps in the lucidapps zip so I extracted the colornote mode and attempted to install from SD but it failed. I have install from unknown locations checked in settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] meepmopmop:
I'm still on RC2, so would the updated themes flash correctly? I'm going for Lucid =)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] d@rklink:
Should work without any issues. I'm on meXdroid remeX based on the CM7 #29 nightly and the theme is working except for the few things I mentioned in my prior post.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
I would recommend updating to RC3 before you flash the themes as that's what's the latest ones are designed for. The lockscreen issue isn't just related to these themes. I'm using the stock gingerbread launcher, and in landscape the dock reverts to the froyo style and the stock lockscreen does the same thing.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say so the art of flying. There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
I will look into the issues. Try uninstalling your old colornote first.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
UPDATE

CM7 RC4, for all intents and purposes, is the same as RC3.

I have tested the RC3 themes on RC4 and they work flawlessly.

I don't want to upload the themes again simply for the sake of changing the filename from RC3 to RC4 :).

VIVID theme

hi... before anything seriously great work... the VIVID theme is just crazy beautiful... Unfortunatly i have one issue in the theme... for some reason the background for the dialer is not clear as in the pictures in the OP.. it is really bright green with the phone, call log etc tabs being black..

am running the desire z with CM7 RC4... everything in the theme works perfect... i flashed it using clockwork...

Thank u

i'm using the vivid theme downloaded from the market and applied using Theme Chooser, and i'd like to replace the battery status icons with ones from the extras pack, but i can't find which files to replace
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sonnysekhon:
If you know how to edit and sign apks, then just put the 204 battery images of your choice in Vivid.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-v4, delete the META-INF folder and resign the apk.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Jul0054:
Does it work with stable CM?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Not yet, these themes are available on loads of different devices and it takes time for sonny to get round to updating them. I'm sure it wont be long though.

You could grab the apps fo the theme chooser from the market and use them for the time being.
