I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.

Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?

lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.

which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.

I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

*How to Make the MIUI Rom look even Sexier*

Are you new to the modding community?
Do you have no Idea what your doing?
Did you recently purchase a kindle fire and put that fresh MIUI Rom on your kindle because you got tired of stock, and have no idea why it looks funny?
If you have any of these questions im here to help.
If you recently flashed the MIUI Rom for the kindle fire and have no idea why there are huge icons and small icons i thought i take the time to show you a simple fix.
First if you already didn't do this download the rom this can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424434
It is always best to Backup then wipe system, Data, and Both Caches for a perfect flash.
Once you finish this you will then boot your device to find this
http://www.pixhost.org/show/3040/10811486_img_20120101_113457.jpg
First You apply this theme:
Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?j3a8r7i9x9de48j
Set this in Miui
Second Download and set this keyboard: Smart Keyboard Pro
Download: http://www.google.com/m/url?ei=jn4NT-C1N--42QXJ2AE&gl=us&hl=en&q=...
Iphone keyboard theme for Smart Keyboard Theme
Place the zip in your SD card, (or internal memory in case you dont have) in folder called skins (make one if you dont have it already), DO NOT extract the zip. Open Smart Keyboard and select cupertino skin from the skins menu, set all caps, un select show alt. Here is what it should look like when you select it properly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3HJDzT00FQ

(this is a great launcher i used it at first but i really couldn't change the thing i wanted so its completely optional.
************************************************************
Last are the Iphone sounds
Here is a compilation of iphone sounds. They are not made by me so all the credits go to the authors (Apple,...), i just put the files in a .zip archive You can download this sounds at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?kwujhpbu37a9dlh
How to install: Use ES File Explorer root explorer or adb to push this files because their is a root access to system files. -iphone UI sounds: put the files (.ogg) in this folder \system\media\audio\ui -iphone rings/alarm: put the files (.mp3) in this folder: \system\media\audio\ringtones ,and/or \system\media\audio\alarms -the iphone default sms received ring: put the "apple_smsreceived.mp3" in this folder: \system\media\audio\notifications
And Bam your MIUI rom is complete hope you enjoyed
Here is a video of such!
Thanks everyone
Another thing if you don't want the iPhone sounds but want the keyboard sounds go into smart keyboard pro and go into smart keyboard pro settings and click on sound and vibrate Turn On Sound on key press Select Sound style to iPhone and make sure vibrate is on

Nice write up, But you need to mention and let people know that this is a Chinese based Rom , And let them make the choice MIUI People never mention that, now I am not being racist but I do not trust it.

Holy crap, Ima download this.

Why not just buy an iphone because that is basically the end result

Your honestly true but to tell you the truth i always loved miui because of the features and the many different things that you can do to it but i never really got into because of the lack of 4g capabilities but when i bought my kindle fire i immediatly knew that miui would make my kindle fire look better and even preform better and thanks for the response

What are you looking at? When i completed all the theming and things for my MIUI rom my rom almost if not exactly looked like an iPad plus not only did it have a sleek graphical appearance but the performance was greater than before

I have MIUI on my KF and like it OK but don't care for the calendar or email program that is included. Is it possible to remove them and install decent ones?

actually its way cheaper than buying an expensive ipad...

I think all the apple haters need to lay off already and come to the reality that, as hard to believe as it may sound, apple did a good job on making its software look spectacular. I personally think Android is better for a number of reasons that I wont mention here, but I still think the look and feel of iOS still looks better than android up until Ice Cream Sandwich. Its all a matter of preference.

If you don't like apple move on! Don't crap this guys helpful thread with ur opinions on a different device! Dang whats wrong with xda these days...

[IDEA] Has Anybody Tried It?

Credit goes to auni for giving the idea.
As we all know that the DefaultThemes.apk in xperia arc (dont know about others) contains 7 themes. My friend auni wanted to increase this count to 10-12.So i have been working on it from past 3 days and unfortunately am not getting any success as its the first time am trying such thing.
Am able to edit the xml and smali files properly but its the recompiling thing thats creating the problem (as far as i think).
My question here is that has anybody tried doing this thing, i mean i have heard people talking about it but has anyone actually did this in real, cause that might help me a bit!
Here is what i do...
1. Decompile DefaultThemes.apk using apktool
2.Edit the res folder and android manifest file
3.Recompile the file (using apktool offcorse) but something unusual happenes everytime i try it, still i get the files.
4. Push it using adb without signing it as its a system app.
Sometimes it work...but the files i added or modded won't be there.

More backgrounds...as in more themes to apply? Can you please post the link of the thread?
[Edit] its just the system background...number of themes are same as that in the stock apk!
Fuel The Droid©

A lot of stock apps as well as core .jar files in the framework folder depend on the Default Themes. I reckon it is not possible to increase the number of themes without breaking something else, if at all. And it is not really necessary as we can only use one theme at a time after all.

You are right about using one theme at a time...but imagine if its possile, m a guy who keeps on changing the theme every now and then. And changing the res folder eveytime i need new themes is something i wanna skip! Am curiois how things work in my phone as its the first time i havr dared to do something like this! I read somewhere on xds written that everything is possible...! Thanks for enlightening, will get my hands on the framework tooo! B-)

I too want to believe everything is possible, it's the very core of XDA community.
However, Sony has done quite the changes on Android. The disappointing part is, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk (the Sony framework) cannot be decompiled and recompiled correctly until we have the Sony UXP sources, which is very unlikely to happen ever. I am not suggesting you give up, just preparing you for the most possible outcome.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have tried to include an extra transparent theme to Theme Manager but it was a dead end. I ended up working around it rather than on it.

You might be the first to get it right though!
You need to focus in decompiling and recompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk successfully before doing anything because this is the SE framework and Theme Manager is controlled by it, not framework-res.apk.
Other files of interest would be framework.jar, probably android.policy.jar and maybe core.jar. Also Conversations, InfiniteView, TimeScape and their extensions are affected. Good luck!

@Varun: I believe Flow95 was referring to this theme. This thread.
Black & White Theme
This one indeed contains 14 themes in total. 7 are SONY's stock themes and 7 other are added by the developer. Thanks to Dev. Great work.
But there are many other files were included as iridaki mentioned.
And I tried only the DefaultThemes.apk from the B&W package, it didn't worked. I can only access the Stock themes. Other themes were not accessible. For that i believe i need to flash many other files that were included in the package.

It's totally OK. It's your hard earned money and you have the total control over it's usage. I shared my work in both free and paid forms so that users can test and then only buy if they want to.
I too don't buy apps that often but if a paid app is useful then I wouldn't think twice.
I myself like the stock Sony look but that doesn't means that we shouldn't try new things.
For the note, I have root but not patched services.jar or superusermod but theme works.
Yet it has been previously reported that some themes fail to work that's why I wrote that.

I am selling it because it's useable.
An app/theme can never be complete. There will be something or the other to add/update.
That means I or anybody should never sell anything??

Honestly your price tag is way steap. No offense and you are allowed to charge whatever you want but may I suggest coming down on the price a bit. Notice anyone else selling xperia themes here on xda? Not saying you shouldn't be selling it but I'm pretty sure it's the reason you're getting so much negativity.
Good luck with the theme. It looks promising.

Thank you for your suggestions.
You see the negativity is not due to the price but differences in thinking.
I provided a free version with adequate theming if not much.
I linked to my guide and xposed module if someone wants to make his/her own theme or try before buying.
I am not forcing anyone to buy my theme.
They want 100% of everything at a little or no cost but as a user everyone needs to understand that that's not possible.
I am trying my best to provide the community with good content.
For that am charging a small amount which gives me boost to work better.
I don't work alone. We are a team. I will discuss with my team members for the price.
Once again thanks for your suggestions.
I truly appreciate your help.

I don't work alone. We are a team. I will discuss with my team members for the price.
Once again thanks for your suggestions.
I truly appreciate your help.

Points taken. I definitely understand what you mean about the 100% of everything at no cost. I do appreciate your work though. I really like your Android L theme that you made, I'm rocking that one now on my ZU.
Anyways I do look forward to see how this theme will progress. I do have one request; and that is to not keep the Free version too far behind the paid version. I have seen so many Devs that provide a Free version to their Themes and don't update them. Maybe it's a time strain, I don't know but it would be nice to keep them maybe 1 version apart and that should spark the interests for trials to become buyers.
Cheers

Ya actually it's a time strain to provide support for 2 versions at the same time and as a Dev I need to keep the paid version updated for showing Thankfulness to all those bought the theme.
But that certainly dose not means that I will never update the free version.
Right now I am trying to add Boot animation changer to Xperia Themes[Only Paid for now] as one can with CM11 themes. Taking backup of original one works. Moving bootanimation.zip from Theme App to sd-card works too. Now I need to figure out how to apply the theme bootanimation.zip. I tried 3 different methods but all failed.

Awesome. When you say it's failing to apply, do you mean moving the animation from the sdcard to the media folder?

Yup that's what I exactly mean.
As Sony didn't added direct support for this in Xperia Themes, I searched for workarounds.
Do you have any idea of moving it to Media folder from sd card?

Seeing that it's failing I have a feeling it has to do with mounting and setting permissions. I am in no way a coder/dev of anything, but is there a way for you to add a command string to have the xperia themer(when applying the theme), send a command to a root browser program to do the copying and setting of permissions for you? Kind of how Tasker works.

It's totally OK. It's your hard earned money and you have the total control over it's usage. I shared my work in both free and paid forms so that users can test and then only buy if they want to.
I too don't buy apps that often but if a paid app is useful then I wouldn't think twice.
I myself like the stock Sony look but that doesn't means that we shouldn't try new things.
For the note, I have root but not patched services.jar or superusermod but theme works.
Yet it has been previously reported that some themes fail to work that's why I wrote that.
Did I said that the theme is completed?
It's just the initial version and you are complaining about absence of assets.
If you had ever tried to make Xperia™ Theme then you will understand why Switches are absent.

That theme making part was not for you.. @beniamin24 Sorry, it was actually for you but I didn't meant to offend you. I didn't took it hard either. Actually I should say thank you. These comments help me make my works even better.

HTC U11 Themes

here is the place to discuss anything theme-related such as theme ideas, requests, help/tutorials, or share your personal themes with screenshots , etc
I just have been feeling this itch lately of wanting to get back into it and a beautiful device like the U11(which i sadly do not own yet) does make me feel a little inspired and thinking about giving HTC another chance.

so, after shaking off the rust and little by little regaining the memory of some adb commands.. i finally got around to relearning how to decompile with apktool again(with some "ah ha!" moments in between)
coming from Sense 5/5.5, i notice a few changes when tearing into the latest version of Sense for the U11. i'm not sure what version of Sense we are at now as i have been out of the loop but i've observed that com.htc.resources is no longer in the framework.. and looking into prism and a few other apps i see alot of images in webp format(seems like a headache to modify) those are new to me. but then again i havent used an HTC device for quite some time so maybe those changes were already there.
anyway, without com.htc.resources i would think it be much easier to theme Sense now, whereas in the past themeing Sense took alot more guesswork and double the work with com.htc.resources and framework-res working in conjunction .you just never knew sometimes which apps were referencing from which framework, which was a nightmare in of itself. i'm kinda glad HTC streamlined Sense but i'm not familiar with the latest version so i wouldnt know. its all just a guess. :good:

Are you looking to load your theme(s) into the theme store, or baked into a ROM? Just asking...

would love to make flashable themes just like the old days but i dont have a U11 yet. i am very hands on when i work on themes and mods. lot of experimenting and constant flashing.
the challenge is doing it blindly without the device as i never done that before but if there are willing testers that can provide feedback then i would love to get started on them. :good:

What I am trying to do is theme it like AOSP. I have the stausbar icons done, but want to get at least the majority themed such as settings and what not. I am still waiting for the phone and have limited experience theming anything, but that is my goal. I always like learning new things.:good:

nice! it's always good to get a little head start till your phone arrives. it's easy once you become more familiar with theming but can be tedious sometimes. haven't done any work for over 2 years but it'll all come back to me. i'll look at some old guides to get a refresher lol.
