We all are very familiar CyanogenMod, HTCClay, and others who have created Android ROMs. Themes on the other hand seem to be a little less talked about, I’m not sure why that is. In passing, while trying to keep my newborn son quiet so mommy could sleep a little, I started looking around for something new and I found it! I thought I’d share some of my latest finds with our wonderful followers.
First is BlackXeth, made by LordSeth from XDA. This theme is CyanogenMod v5.0.7/v5.0.8 and SuperE v1.02. Requirements for this theme are simple, Haykuro SPL (danger or death). Which means nothing to a MT3G owner only on a G1. It’s a full ROM, so a simple download and flash is all that is needed. If you aren’t already running one of the original ROMS mentioned then the usual wipe should be performed first, and don’t forget to flash your GAPPS again too if you are installing the CyanogenMod Versions. View the page and the download files HERE for BlackXeth.
Pretty sweet looking huh? I have this one installed currently. It runs like a dream. I am a U.S. MT3G and G1 owner so of course the language does show up in English. LordSeth also has plenty of screens of different versions available for preview. There are actually 4 different themed Dialers to choose from if the one that’s built in isn’t to your taste. As wells as different Music Player themes and Tab Themes to choose from.
Next is BlueDark which is CyanogenMod v5.0.7/v5.0.8 and HTCCLAY SuperBad 1.4 Made by LostEden over at XDA as well. I don’t see any requirements as far as SPL is concerned but I would assume the Haykuro SPL again for the G1 owners and nothing for the MT3G owners. This particular one is already updated to ADW Launcher 9.0. The list of what is themed is as follows:
- Market
- Calendar
- Contacts new Background
- Music Widget
- Settings Widget
- Framework
- Alarm Clock
- Camera and Stat Icons
- GenieWidget new Wetter IconZ
- Youtube
- Notification Drawer
You can get to the download HERE for BlueDark. Here are some screens for your enjoyment.
Yet another beautiful twist to a wonderful set of ROM’s
One thing I would like to point out though is as usual the clock and various other text is black on black and needs to be changed through spare parts much like a lot of the new ROM’s. If you are having trouble finding spare parts, it is usually located under setting now instead of your app drawer.
I suggest you all do a little looking when you have some time and see what other goodies you can find out there. Let us know what you find!

honestly, i got kinda lazy with themes lol. with a bunch of updates coming in such short time, i decided to just let it rest until more stable releases came out, and things started to settle down. i guess i just never picked up themes again. those are nice themes. some personal tweaks that i would prefer, but they look very solid altogether. great finds!

Don’t forget Minimilistic By Manup456 original idea by AbsoluteDesignz on the Nexus One Forum on XDA…that’s a sexy if under supported theme.
Good one. I did forget that one. If any of you guys have great themes or themes you think should be recognized please post the links here and lets get some of the hard working themers some credit for their work too. With the community being so huge sometimes the great but lesser known people get left behind. if its something you guys want to see available, maybe we can get a section for the themers up on AndroidSPIN also. We need to see you guys wanting it though.
i probably wont theme until cm6 and at that time ill try to keep this post up to date with xda themer links when themers grab onto cm6
. currently on xtreme as of today 
YAY 2.2!
