Forum Thread: Nexus 7 Theme List

I like the idea of having an area that we can list themes. So, this area WILL NOT include small images (or XML tweaks) but full themes. Also, if you are linking out or posting images please only use original work (aka your own work).

Forum Thread: How Do I Begin Hacking?

Warning: Nexus 7 Screen Damages Easily
