Disclaimer: I have none. It's your device, if you break it... Well... That's your problem.

Now compatible with the T-mobile theme chooser for all HDPI devices!

This theme is my interpretation of how Gingerbread should look out of the factory. I've kept all the original colors, and many of the icons, etc... I have put a lot of work into this to get it exactly how I wanted it. It is definitely a minimalist-type theme in appearance-though I've edited over 1000 images. Any feedback or suggestions for improvement are very welcomed and will likely get incorporated/a mod added.

Feature list is available in Post #2. Changelog is available in Post #3

I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. So without further adieu.......

New Wave GB v13
DOWNLOAD (t-mobile theme .apk)

Instructions:
Install via android package manager

Open theme chooser
Select the newly renamed NewWaveGB theme
reboot

How can you tell if your ROM supports 6-bar signal?

If it's six bar by default. The Evervolv series of AOSP ROMs has this option, but no others that I know of right now.

This will only work with AOSP ROMs that include the t-mobile theme chooser.

As for the wallpaper, I'll post a seperate .zip tonight with some add-ons. =)

Thanks. Here's hoping one of the Tbolt AOSP ROMs gets that feature.

If you're interested, I may be able to make this mod available for CM7 as an addition to this theme.

I actually thought about learning how to mod, and figured this is a good way to start. I just have no clue where to begin.

I tried to decompile framework-res.apk...yeah, I have newfound respect for your patience as devs and themers.

The six-bar signal mod is actually done within SystemUI.apk.

From what I've been told, this is a fairly simple mod to make when building from source. When editing .smali code, however, it's a completely different ballgame. Seems as though it may be somewhat complex. I'm going to give it a go still this weekend and see what I can come up with.

And thanks! It does take a lot of patience to modify these things when you go beyond simple image edits.

Hmm, might need to try modifying the source and compiling my own build.

Wasn't aware of this. Checked his thread on XDA for a link but didn't see it. I'll look into it and see what I can do. Thank you.
