Holiday Theme Contest:

[cush2push]

I will post my theme here as well just in case some people do not visit the regular droidxforums.com site. They'll have access to it here.


My submission for the Droid Forums Holiday theme contest.

For the Droid X ONLY!
Only made for the stock 2.2 OTA ROM.
Must be rooted, deodexed, have bootstrapper installed and the Droid X recovery to use.


Theme file download: REMEMBER...FOR DROID X ONLY!!!!

DF_HOLIDAY_THEME.zip


First up, the boot animation:

Next, screen shots of the theme:

Elements of the phone that have been modified:

*/system/app/Settings.apk  (app icon and menu icons)
*/system/app/GenieWidget.apk  (for widget)
*/system/app/Music.apk  (for widget)
*/system/app/BlurHome.apk  (soley for wallpapers)
*/system/app/com.quoord.tapatalkdrodiforums.activity-1.apk (icon change only)


Heavy modifications:
*/system/framework/framework-res.apk
--------Some elements are difficult to capture such as the "loading" spinner, 
but you can see the screenshot with the DroidForums Tapatalk app 
has the snowflake that spins. Other various edits have been made 
but you'll have to find them.
*/system/framework/services.jar (text color changes)

Finally, the Launcher Pro dock background. This file gets installed directly to your SD card (included in the theme, no need to put on your SD card separately). If you use LP, simply add it as your background for the dock.

To install my theme:
1. Download the theme file and place on your SD card.
2. Open Droid X Bootstrapper: Press Bootstrap Recovery, wait for success. Then Reboot Recovery.
3. From recovery menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Select "choose zip from sdcard"
5. Navigate to "DF_Holiday_Theme.zip" and select.
6. Let the file install.
7. Reboot your phone. May take a few moments because services.jar needs to make some changes to text colors.
8. Most importantly, ENJOY!


I hope you enjoy my theme and have a Happy Holidays!

dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my entry. Took longer than I expected, but when I themed certain things, I started seeing more stuff I wanted to theme to make it look better. I couldn't stop....haha. So I forced myself to stop....otherwise, I'd never get it entered.

I made it ONLY for UD 2.3. I'm not going to port it to any other ROMs, but feel free to port it yourself. I'll even host it on my server so you can have a direct download. Just please don't try and submit it as your own. PC747 already knows.

I made an ADW Launcher theme. Just install it with Astro or Root Explorer. It's a great addition to the theme and completes it. I provided a download for DF members to enjoy, but you can find it on the market for .99 and I would greatly appreciate a donation.

I also made a matching Beautiful Widgets skin. So if you have the app, you can unzip it and drag the folder into data/beautifulwidgets/skins and it should come up as an option.

I may be able to do just that. Not sure which ROM though. There's soooo many of them now. Not used to having a bazillion ROMs to port stuff to like I did when I was on my D1 lol.

Here's my entry.

Forgot to say great work bro!
Makes me wish I would've done a tad more theming lol.
Can't wait to see more submissions!

 

[zodder]

Great stuff, guys. I thought the 4th of July stuff was great, but obviously a few people have been hard at work the past 6 months honing their skills

Carl, is there anyway you could port this for D1 UD 2.3?? I would like to try it out but do not have an X. Thanks.

 

[Robbie72]

Yeah what he said. That would rock.

Well, we're only allowed one entry for the contest. So I can't post another version here.
But what I can say is that I give my permission for any other themer or dev. to port this to their respective devices and/or ROM. I certainly want as many people to enjoy the theme, but I don't have the time to port it to a bunch of different setups.
So if you want to ask someone to port it, feel free to point back to this post so they know its okay to do.

Whats mine is yours, a difference in device or ROM shouldn't keep that from interfering

Some nice looking themes here. Too bad there is no way for those of us NOT running UD 2.3 or owning a DX to check them out.
