¤ [Theme] CM6 - xTheme Improved [9/1/10]

[xvenom89]

This is an entirely custom job I've done that is comparable to xTheme by Fabolous. Instead of using other Droid X-like themes, I pulled all images from the Droid X & Droid 2 system dumps and made some modifications to my liking since the other themes didn't have the "right feeling" to me.

Please do not repost (or port & upload) my work without permission; do not claim any of my work as your own; I've put a lot of time into making this what it is today. Before doing anything questionable, ask yourself how you would feel if someone took credit for your work. Thanks for understanding.

My customizations that set this apart from others (I was the first to complete the theme) include:
• Changed all system buttons & dropdown menu button font color from black to white, as it should be.
• Changed everything from orange to red.
• Changed text highlight color from orange to a matching red.
• Fully themed system apps, added Droid 2 keyboard, extra soundpack.

Download:
•v0.5 - Fixed dropdown button font from black to white.

•Addons - (Fully themed system apps, Droid 2 keyboard, added HTC ringtones/alarms, some iPhone UI sounds, Zegoe font) I'm aware of some of the graphical problems, still working on it. Those nasty .9.png's..

Extras:
•Super Circle Battery (with black %) - Same as regular build, but uses the circle battery with black %.

•Themed LauncherPro v0.7.6.0

•Themed K-9 Mail - Improved version of stock Email.

•Themed NubDial - Smart dialpad, similar to HTC Sense Dialer.

Screenshots:

If you're having trouble getting your statusbar and pulldown font colors to look the way I have them in the screenshots, go to:
Settings -> Cyanogenmod settings -> User Interface -> Notification colors

...and use this configuration:
Notifications ticker color= #ff000000
Notifications count color= #ffffffff
No notifications title color= #ffffffff
Clear notifications label color= #ffffffff
Ongoing notifications title color= #ffffffff
Latest notifications title color= #ffffffff

Items title color= #ff000000
Items text color= #ff000000
Items time color= #ff000000

• It probably won't let you enter 8 digits. Instead, use the last 6; the first ff tells the system to make the colors completely opaque. 00, on the other hand, symbolizes fully transparency. Play with the alpha bar under color picker to your liking.

Yeah, it'd be cool if we could see some screenshots. Thanks

 

[xvenom89]

Bugfixed + added screenshots.

I like the look, could you make it compatibled with Skyraider 2.5.2 vanilla rom? appreciated

Great work

this Is Very Nice. Keep Up The Work, And I Be Waiting For Your Feature Up Dates.

I love this theme, any chance you could port the status bar and such over to a skyraider sense version?

Just the status bar or do you want everything to be red, too? I did a side project months back where I turned everything in SenseUI from green to red, but iy isn't 100% complete yet. It's more like ~90% finished.

The droid x status bar and everything that is green to red would be awesome! With droid x icons of course

Hi.. Is there any chance you could get this running on a Droid 1 with rc3? I tried this and my apps kept force closing when it booted up. Thanks!

 

[The_Tech_Ninja]

Looks awesome.. Too bad I dont user anything but black status' bars. If you dont mind can you one a black version too?

 

[mb02]

To OP, I noticed the signal icons were really offset and WAY too small. I decided to center and enlarge them and IMO it looks a lot better. can send you the edited pngs to add them in if youd like.

Sure could, just give me a couple of days.

Yup, not a problem. Do you want it to be this theme with the sense status bar, or the stock sense theme with all green replaced with red? I've practically already done both. Again, it may take a couple of days. I won't get off work until Sunday morning.

Haha nice catch, I somehow didn't notice that. I'll look into fixing it when I get the chance.

Thanks for much for trying to port it to the Droid 1, I really appreciate it!

I was actually hoping for the original Droid X status bar. I think it looks much more sleek and clean.

That's what I'm using.

Updated original post with ports for SKyraider 2.5.2 & Motorola Droid running CM6 rc3, as well as a black statusbar mod. Let me know if they work out for ya. I'll post updated screenshots of the latest UI when I get time.

Er the Droid port doesn't install. There's an error concerning a boot.img or something..? I thought that maybe the zip file was the problem so I put the framework-res.apk into a different zip file and that installed, but there are still force closes everywhere :[

Modified and reuploaded, try again. If it doesn't work, toggle signature verification and try once more. If you still don't have any luck, give me time to check it over.

The Droid X status bar has a blue tint to it making it look much sleeker. The one that is in your screen shots is just white.

 

[jpar]

why isn't there a service.jar in the droid port? Also I installed over some other guy's droid x theme hoping to get the improvements you listed, but I didn't get any. In fact, it's as if the zip might not even have actually installed.. o_o.
