Thanks to Shabbypenguin, Interdpth, Fightspit, Bloodawn, hroark13, and the makers of UOT Kitchen for making this all possible.

Special Thanks to Bloodawn for letting me use his framework with the power mod as a base for my upcoming themes.


The GPS, Data, Data sync and WiFi notification icons are animated. I just changed them up a bit. You can see the originals here in pack "V8 Animated"
[ICONS] ★ HTC Sensation ★ Notification Icons Colored Pack V7 (Static) & V8 (Animated) - xda-developers


Install just like any Shabbymod
Will reboot, load home screen, get force close pop-ups for like 20 sec, reboot again, Then take is sweet time to load up again.

Caution: I strongly suggest You have Clockwork Recovery installed and preform a nandroid backup BEFORE you flash this theme.

This theme will now be shifting towards more of a HTC type look and will continue in future versions.


Any suggestions or requests? I would be glad to oblige. I love this stuff, just wish I had more time to do it.

V4.1:
*Fixed white"clear" text in notifications button
*Fixed Menu "more" pop-up menu being white on white. It's now black on white


V4 CWR:
* ClockWork Recovery flashable
* Added power options ( Thanks Bloodawn )
* Changed settings bar, various icons, and transparent menu[/spoiler]


V3:
* Added more HTC type system icons throughout
* Fixed "galaxy prevail" title in status bar pull-down not stretching properly
* Added HTC like lock pattern
* Added roughly finished phone dialer
* New boot animation ( AndroidMinimal1 from here - [BOOT ANIMATION] The Droids - xda-developers )


V2:
* Finally have the clock color white too (Thanks to Bloodawn)
* Totally redid some status bar icons (ex. WiFi notification ani, Data sync ani, Battery charging)
* Cleaned the notifications pull down just to keep it simple and efficient
* Added more custom icons[/spoiler]

Please report any bugs or send me any sugguestions like any icons you would like to see. I am not a coder so my abilities are limited for now, but I will try my best to please


Note: the widget in the top middle screen shot is not part of my theme. It's an app called Widgetsoid in the market and it's free

I'm gonna need the step by step easy way if there is such a thing , LOL . :)

Well, since Wet#7 did it, I figured it must be good. Worked like a charm. I like the cute batch file enhancements on the install. The icons are a little easier for me to see with some nice animation. I like the white on black notification screen and the shabbymatrix background.

I really do not need the date and time on the top line anyway, although the date does show up on the notification screen. And I think that Blue has figured out how to make the date display on the main screen in white.


Great job Blue!

Oh, and Biker, NOW I can see the alarm clock!

I've tried both blues theme & the bloodgreen theme by Bloodawn and they both ROCK ! I can't believe it's so easy to do ! Now all we need to do Wyelkins is learn to make our own themes and we'll be set ! :p

OK blue , modified ShabbyMod .09 with your custom ROM & it works great ! As for the clock , my old eyes can't see it anyway so I use the Retro Clock Widget . Thanks Bud ! :D

Now I need to cook my own up when I can find the time . :)


How did you do that? Just flash over shabbymod .9?

Oh and thanks for the praise. I will also be releasing v2 of my theme tonight

Good Job, Blue! Just put on V2 after running BloodSimple (which is a good one too, with an awesome boot animation). With yours, I like the white text on black as it is easy for my old eyes to read. The status line icons are bright and easy to see also. I just need to find a good wallpaper to go with it and I am set.

Thanks for the hard work

Oh, and I am gonna keep Blood's Boot Animation for awhile.

is there an easy way to add simple green's boot ani to this? or just add it to your phone after you've installed royal's theme?

i tried to copy simple green's media folder into royal's zip installer, but that didn't seem to work :(
Easy way I know of is install this theme, get it all squared away, then download simple green pull the file bootanimi.zip and place it in your phones /system/media folder reboot.
it should overwrite the shabby one that is already there.

That is the manual way to do it, which I think is the easy way.
there are some apps or something that automates the process.

i was just about to try something like that, though i couldn't immediately figure out how to get to the /system/ folder, but then i tried an alternate noob approach: since i couldn't trick royal's into using green's boot ani (which i still can't figure out why this didn't work), i tricked green's into using royal's fonts + framework, and voila, i ended up getting the desired result

i am noob hear me roar

cool thx.. one more thing tho... i have EE14 update but when i go to delete the file into /system/ect/ i cant find file intall-recovery.sh sooo what do i do now?
Dont worry about it.
If you put cwm on and after a couple reboots try going into recovery, if its stock recovery use the "stick" flashable zip he has, I never had trouble with losing recovery either.
