[THEME] Red Remix for CM7

[UpwardSpiral]

Hi,

I just made a red theme that works with the Cyanogenmod 7 nightlies. I'm a Droid Incredible user, and I wasn't quite satisfied with the themes that were currently available (No offense to the devs who made them, they just weren't my style). So I made a theme that goes really well with the DInc hardware.

I originally posted in the Android general theming section, but wanted to make sure none of my fellow DInc users missed out. You can find the original thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943071

I can't get the frame to stick red .. I wonder why? I have the icons and apps red but not the frame stuff, I wondrous if its cause I had a theme before installing red?

Try to reboot your phone and let me know if that helps. Some of the things need a phone reboot to fully take effect.

i did bro, i re-booted about 3 times lol im on CM7 #26 is this for the lates nightly #27 maybe ?oh and also i was running a white theme before and not the stock theme, meybe why ?

 

[UpwardSpiral]

Hmm. I haven't seen that before. I'm on #26 right now, so it probably isn't that. Do you mind switching back to stock theme and switching to this? You probably still will need to reboot after that.

That cool ill try that. I'm just at work doing ...nothing lol how can I witch back to stock tho? On the app theme right! ?

Yep, it's the theme all the way to the right in theme chooser. The theme chooser app has a bug or two, but nothing we can't deal with. The fact that we're all using the CM nightly builds goes to show that we all want the newest features and are willing to put up with a couple bugs while they are ironed out.

downloading this now hehe

 

[Blanko6]

naw bro. didnt work. the theme all the way to the right its the "system" theme and for some reason when i install "System" theme its actually my white them that i had flashed before .... damn, that sucks cause really liked that red theme of yours. \

 

[UpwardSpiral]

Okay, based on that it probably has something to do with that other theme. Do you mind sending me a link to that so I can take a look and trouble shoot?

 

[Blanko6]

sure man . its the "frost" white theme here.

i havent seen your lock screen but i think the same type in red would be sick looking ..

 

[UpwardSpiral]

Ah, I think I know why. I think that "old-style" (as in two week old) flashable roms break the way the theme chooser works. I think you will need to flash a fresh copy of Cyanogenmod. You can flash a new nightly or the one that you already are using. You just need a fresh copy.You do NOT need to wipe data. Just having a fresh copy should do the trick. Switch to the stock theme before installing the rom, just to be safe.

I agree on the lock screen, but haven't been able to theme it yet. They're still working on a way to make the volume adjust and lock screen themeable. The issue is that element needs to restart while theme chooser is running for the theme to apply. I think the problem is that both of them start on boot before theme chooser starts. Hopefully they can work this out to make things really polished top to bottom.

thanks your all the tec support brom im gonna try that now, (and buy the app i had the free one) lol when you said fresh copy of Cyanogenmod you mean nighly #27 or a fresh #26 witch is what im on right now . also it should now be and old - style cause i yous flashed this two days ago.!

 

[UpwardSpiral]

Any version should be fine. If you've got the time to flash #29, it just hit last night. If you want to save time by not having to download and stick on #26, that works just as well.

 

[HoosierDaddy2442]

this is awesome. Running latest CM7 nightly (#29) and this theme. Any chance we can get the notification pulldown buttons themed in red instead of green?

Here's what my phone looks like right now.

 

[UpwardSpiral]

Ha, Its funny you should mention that. I'm working on theming the icons right now (update should be out sometime today). To theme the green buttons, go to

Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Interface -> Indicator Color.

Your setup looks killer.

 

[Blanko6]

Oh man I guess they don't have #26 any more on rom manager ... any one has a link to it. I really don't wanna go throght the procces of flashing #29 all over again

You should be able to still get it. in Rom-manager, select download rom from sd card. Then it takes you to your sd card. go to

SD card -> clockworkmod -> downloads -> mirror-teamdouche-net -> inc -> click on the nightly you want.

I'm installing #29 on my phone right now, so I can't verify, but it should be something like that.

Nice to have a red option as the Inc has red on it. I think it's a great match. One thing that I've thought was odd though is changing themes through the Theme Chooser doesn't change everything....there are still mismatches in color throughout the software, especially the lockscreen. You'd think it would change the sliders (or at least the green one to unlock) to red as well. Thanks for this
