For folks who have been flashing ROMs and themes on their phones over the last few years, the name Brian “Bgill55″ should ring a few bells. Brian has some of the best known themes available under his belt such as Invertnito, Synergy, and Incognito. Now with the release of the unlocked Galaxy Nexus, it looks like he is back to bring us another great theme.

As far as we know, it still doesn’t have an official name, other than “un-blacked out.” Classy though, right? The theme is still in alpha phase, so you can expect a few things to not look right. If waiting for this sexy white theme is something you can’t do, then go ahead and try it out right now.

Most important is that you must be on a naked version of AOKP M3 in order to flash. Download here. If you’re already running a theme, you will need to re-flash the ROM so there are no themed assets. If you are already on an un-themed Build M3, then go ahead and follow the directions down below.

Instructions:

1. Download Un-Blacked Out Alpha zip file and place on phone’s internal storage.
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and create nandroid backup.
3. Navigate to zip file’s location.
4. Hit “Install”.
5. Reboot and enjoy.

If you have any issues flashing or need any other help, let us know down below and we’ll try to help you out. Happy flashing!

Custom Theme Tuesday: Bgill55′s Un-Blacked Out Theme For Galaxy Nexus is a post from: Droid Life

The MIUI ROM just won’t go away and now we even have themers taking their turns at customizing it.  We showed you a quick video walkthrough of this Asian sensation ROM earlier this week, so it only seemed fitting that we bring you a theme to go along with it.  From our boy Bgill55, comes Zenito MIUI 1.0, the dark take on this epic ROM.

Download:  Zenito_MIUI_v1.0.zip

Instructions:

*Original Droid only.

1.  Flash the Zen-MIUI V2.0 ROM from our post earlier this week.
2.  Flash the fix file.  (Open ROM Manager>Install ROM from SD card>Select the file.)
3.  Download the Zenito_MIUI_V1.0.zip file from above to your SD card.
4.  Open ROM Manager, select “Install ROM from SD Card” and choose the Zenito file.
5.  Check the box to make a backup if you’d like, SKIP “wipe data and cache.”
6.  Your phone will reboot and apply the Zenito theme.
7.  When it boots you may run into a couple of force closes.  Here is the fix:

a.  Open Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>”All”
b.  Clear data for “Contacts Storage” and “Google Framework Services”.

8.  Enjoy your themed MIUI!

DROID Theme Friday: Zenito MIUI 1.0 by Bgill55 is a post from: Droid Life

Happy Friday everyone! Now we all know Mrpicolas is a master of customizing home screens with a bunch of cool widgets and apps to make it look how you want, but may I just say, I think I know how to make a pretty cool home screen myself. I am a more reserved ‘less is more’ type of guy and can’t really enjoy looking at a bunch of clutter. (I need order!)  And let me tell you, that’s what makes this theme quite nice. Thanks to Ludacrosse05 (for always hooking it up Bro Status) I am able to tinker with a bunch of imagery.

Last week we had a few people wanting a lighter theme. Is this light enough for you?

This is the Invertnito theme by Shocka2430 based on BGill55′s Incognito theme but, you guessed it….Inverted! I’m usually not a white notification bar kinda guy, but I will admit that this theme is extremely clean. Good job Shocka and BGill!

Instructions on installation after the jump!

This theme is for Sapphire 1.1.1 and the original Droid only.

Instructions:

1.  Install CCROM’s Sapphire 1.1.1 ROM which you can pick it up from ROM Manager under ‘CVPCS’.

Select the stock theme and after it loads up then we can start having fun!

2. Download Invertnito theme HERE and place the zip file on root of your SD Card.

3. Open up ROM Manager and select “Install ROM from SD Card”. Locate the Invertnito.zip and hit it.

4. You won’t need to wipe but PLEASE EVERYONE, make a backup! Why would you root and not take advantage of that feature?

5. Allow Clockwork Recovery to work it’s magic and and after reboot you will be playing in a Winter Wonderland! Enjoy!

——————————————————————————————————–

*Note* – May I say that this theme works great with the Themed White LauncherPro we posted.

*UPDATE* - BGill55 has confirmed with me that this zip file will work with ALL GEM Builds.

Custom Theme Friday: Invertnito by ‘Shocka2430′ for Sapphire is a post from: Droid Life

Here we are again at the end of another great week at Droid-Life. We’ve been pumping work around here showing you how to get all rooted Froyo goodness (Rooting instructions HERE and HERE). Follow those instructions and join us in our journey to trying out the coolest and slickest ROM’s available for our Original Bad-Boy (aka Droid-1, aka OG Droid, the Godfather, etc etc).

So let me run this down. Incognito has been ported to the ShadowROM and looooks fantastic! BGill55 is a master of this stuff. We’re talking all widgets, and even icons for ADW. Just look at these pics. If you like black and red (God knows I do) then you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself! Let’s do this!

Instructions after the jump…

*For original Motorola Droid only.

1. Gotta be running the ShadowROM. Pick it up in ROM Manager.

2. Download the Red-Incognito theme here —-> Incognito-Red

3. Place the zip on the root of your SD Card and flash using Clockwork Recovery.

4. Download these files. Inside are themed APK’s to match this theme! Just download them then UNZIP the folder and install them as normal APK’s. ESPN, Audio Widget, Pandora and Twitter, and ADW (ADW is VERY important).

5. Enjoy!

There it is in all of it’s glory. Please stop by the comment section if you have questions or check out our lovely IRC Channel for Tech Support! Have a sweet weekend and we’ll see you all soon! Flash safely!

Huge props to: BGill55. We love you! | See the original thread: Here | Post for themed apps can be found: Here

And of course, HUGE thanks: To InsaneNemesis and Billygalbreath for making the most righteous ShadowROM
