Root Blue Marble BACKside theme

I decided to make my own thread on the Blue Marble Theme that I made for JerryScript's great BACKside ROM.

If there seems to be enough interest I'll keep uploading new versions of the Blue Marble theme when the BACKside ROM is updated. Many of you may make your own themes thanks to brotherswing's great tutorial of the UoT Kithcen, which is how I figured out how to make the theme tailored exactly to my tastes.

Here are a few screen shots:

Hint:
Under settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks/Status bar appearance - Choose ROM (If left on theme, I have the status bar set to black in the theme, but does not stay black with certain apps. ROM setting keeps status bar black at all times)

Launcher is GO Launcher with Plus Neon Blue.

Wallpaper


Hint:
Under settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/Status bar tweaks - Click show clock (If you want the clock) Then go to Clock Color - type- 5e79ff for the blue clock in the pictures.

Any chance of a version for Jerry's latest 02192012 BACKside? I tried your 02122012 version, but it wouldn't even boot. Blue Marble is my favorite theme so far, you did a very nice job.
Thanks
 
Glad you like it.
Looks like I'll be updating tonight when I get home from work.

I do not use the lockscreen, but think I'll add this into the next release in case others use it.
 
Blue Marble updated for BACKside 02/19/2012 build, first post for download.

Added lockscreen to this build. Not sure how it looks as I have not flashed my phone yet with the new build.

I haven't tried the lockscreen yet, but the build is great! Thanks.

Just remember, ring is the only lockscreen we can't theme (for now)

I only added sliders and the pattern lock.
Since I use widget locker it's something that I'll never use myself. Once I flash the new ROM I'll take a quick look to see if it even looks correct.

Great work on those! Do you plan to create a version for TDM's Quattrimus?
Thanks
 
When Quattrimus is more functional I will probably flash the phone to check it out. I would definitely be making the Blue Marble theme for it then.

Due to differences in ICS, only about half of the theme elements actually show up. I'm working on making a list of what works and what doesn't, will post my findings.

Would appreciate that.
Any different settings needed in the kitchen for the Quattrimus ROM?
Could that be why not all the elements show up?
 
It the structure of the framework-res.apk. It draws the screen elements different than 2.3, a lot of the ICS blue is inescapable. There are some dangers though, trying an incompatible mod will bootloop the phone. I'm going through by trial and error making the ugliest theme possible. This will let me spot areas that work and those that don't. Also by recooking each time to add the mods one at a time, I'm finding which ones bootloop the phone. It's taking some time though, I've been sick and still taking care of a two month old.
 
Cool theme. I like it.

Having an issue with the 3g icon and the Phone bar icon changing back to Green Machine or default BACKside icons a minute or two after bootup. Using 02292012. First time using the theme. Keep up the good work!
 
I have noticed this as well.
Not sure what happened there. I cooked the theme again in the kitchen and need to flash my phone to see if it works correctly.
 
I glad I decided to recook the theme in the kitchen instead of using the second I did last night. 99% sure it had the same mistake as the first one. Used the wrong icon pack.
Correct icon version for BS 02292012 on the first post.
 
Not that I've noticed since I used the correct icons this time.

Makes me wonder about the 02192012. Never flashed my phone with that version and may have used the wrong icons in that build.
