I've wanted to see Susumu's CAROL on a Retina screen since the release of the Retina screen...Susumu seems to have vanished from the MTF community, and for some reason no one has decided to do this before me, so I've decided to take on the job myself. :-! I have not yet let Susumu know I've been working on this, as I've been trying to perfect it before presenting it to him, plus I wanted to get some feedback and critique from the community. Once I am ready to ask permission from Susumu to release this, I will try reaching him through email (which hasn't worked in the past), or Instagram via screenshot, since he is a follower of mine (follow me @ Coogz :-X)! I've recreated the template to the best of my ability and have about 12-15 stock icons completed...Here's a few, feedback is much appreciated!



I'm doing my best to stay true to Susumu's original icons, and hope for his, and all the original CAROL fan's, approvals!

Loving it!
Keep it up

I love you, seriously. This is probably my favorite theme, ever. Looking good so far, can't wait to see more.

Haha, preciate it y'all! I was hopin for some feedback from you AO..I know you used to rock CAROL back in the day! I got some more previews coming soon..

I was a Carol fan long time ago, I am so glad to see you bringing it back in HD :thumbsup:

This is very nice to see, I was a huge fan of Carol as well and I would like to see this done well.

I have seen so many legendary themes be butchered in HD and people half-ass the work and rush to do a release. Take your time and do things right. I would be happy to help you in my free time.

It looks great so far, I would love a preview of the others you have done to get posted sometime soon.

I want this on my phone. Like now.

Little update for y'all...feedback and critique is much appreciated!

can't wait.. !! this is the best.

This is looking awesome :thumbsup:

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been spending all my free time (at work) on this theme, and I'm very close to completion. I just posted my current setup on DeviantArt, which includes many CAROL HD icons. I am having a hard time getting a hold of Susumu for permission to release, so if you visit my DeviantArt page, please tweet @Susumu a link to it, and tell him to come visit us here as well! He's been missing from the themeing community for a while!

Anyways, I hope ya'll will take a minute to go check out the update HERE, and leave a comment! Also, click the picture twice so you can see it in the highest resolution! :thumbsup::-X

Loving it, looks amazing

Gorgeous icons, love it.

Hey all...getting closer and closer to completion, yet still no word from Susumu.

ADMINISTRATORS: I'm wondering if I even need permission from Susumu to release, because although I used his template to create an HD template, I've only used 4-5 of his .PSD files to scale up some icons (because that's all I could find). The rest are completely from scratch.

Also, looking for a little feedback on a few Reminders icons since there was no need for one in the original release of Carol. Not sure which one is best, not really LOVING any of them.

I like the second one (middle), the third one looks too much like the calendar and the first has too much of a boarder. But that is my own thinking. I still am looking forward to the release :thumbsup:

Looking forward to this.

Shrink the width of the route66 sign on maps, looks too wide.

yeah, you need his okay. he's active on dribbble, twitter, send him a message.

Looks good so far

This looks absolutely amazing, carol was also my all time favourite theme back in the 3G days. Was also the last theme I used back then.

Last reply was 2 months ago, I'm feeling kind of worried :S

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates! Rest assured, I am still working on Carol HD frequently, although not everyday. I don't even own a computer anymore, so the only time I get to work on this is at work, lol.
I did send out a private beta a while back, and plan to send out ONE more very soon, and then a release shortly after!
I will leave y'all with a small preview of some extras, click the picture for full-res! Hope y'all enjoy, and as always, critique and feedback is welcome and encouraged! Have a great weekend!

GMail, iBooks, Nike+

The progress is going well. Looking forward to your release.
Keep up the great work
Thank you

I always liked the notification circle in Carol

Probably one of the best theme ever on iPhone, hope there is a release soon, .

Send me the second beta when you want man , I will be back with my iPod cause I m rocking my iPhone 5 at the moment
