Here is a MOD for the progress bar color to be blue instead of green. I was pulling my hair out over this but came to an odd conclusion, read the rest of the posts on my findings. If any of you are experienced using XML Editors like HxD Hex Editor I think we could use an tutorial on how to do this right.
I'm running Nero v5 KA5, but I see no reason this would not work any other ROM. Enjoy.
I'm new with tutorials so please be easy and Nandroid before doing this. I'm not responsible if anything happens to your phone. So I believe the reasonable way to apply this is with Android ADB
Android ADB
1.Pull your "progress_horizontal.xml" file from system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable
2.Unzip the file and save it somewhere reliable
3.Locate and push the new "progress_horizontal.xml" file
4.Reboot after you close ADB
I apologize if I got any of that wrong, but that should do it. If I missed some steps please let me know and I'll update the OP. Thanks.
Ninjamorph
Now if you have Ninjamorph like me :
1. Open Ninjamorph and click "Start Checks", it looks for Busybox. (You need Busybox installed, if you don't have it download Titanium Backup and follow the instructions, it will download Busybox for you)
2. Next were going to open framework-res.apk, if you have this project already opened skip to step 4. Click "New Project".
3. Go to system/framework/framework-res.apk, then Ninjamorph will extract it and put it in a new folder on your internal sd card called: AnroidThemes/workspace
4. Go into your internal sd card with your PC or Root Explorer and look for this file sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk/res/drawable and delete your "progress_horizontal.xml" file.
5. Unzip and place your new "progress_horizontal.xml" file in the same folder
6. Exit Root Explorer or safely disconnect your PC, then go back into Ninjamorph.
7. Click "Finish Project", select frameworkapk. It will ask you some questions, read them carefully and apply the the project. Suggestion, click "No" on the 2nd question.
8. Reboot, your done!
Metamorph
1. unzip file and place folder in /sdcard/AndroidThemes
2. open metamorph, "pick existing theme"
3. locate BlueProgressBar folder, and apply .xml
4. BE PATIENT UPON REBOOT ~ courtesy of TopShelf10
I don't take full credit for this, I got alot of help and info from:

-Team Whiskey
Thanks everybody!

I'm trying to figure out which ROM or Theme has a blue progress bar, I remember having it but can't remember what I installed on my phone that had it. Anyone know?
Click to expand...

i do believe that some of the Bionix ROMs for 2.1 had it. I was running Fusion1.1 for a while and it had it......ill pull the framework and see what i can find, cause now that you mention it, id like it too
looks like an .xml edit.....ill do some research
Thanks, I believe it is the progress_horizontal.xml file.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's "progressbar-horizontal.xml" in /res/drawable
I decompiled the .xml last night, but it has a lot of color codes in it, and im not sure which ones do which. for example, i tried changing all of them to blue, but then it was no longer a progress bar, just bar that remained blue. derr haha
you are best off figuring out which ROM you got it from in the meantime....it would also be great of you could share it too, if you find it
No problem, I also need to ask Samcrow and camalot aswell, but this theme I'm putting together is a combo of voltage, black froyo, and ginger blue. Is that ok with you?
EDIT: Little more info in this thread

My ROM history consist of Eugene's JK2, Macnut R14, Obsidian 4.2; Then Nero v3, v4, and v5. I'm thinking Macnut or Obsidian. Unzipping Macnut now.

So I gave up temporarily on my search for the blue progress (frustrating ) and tried to create it myself with HxD Hex Editor. When I thought I made a blue progress bar it actually came out orange! Lol. So I figured out that I forget to edit some other colors, after that I don't know what I did wrong but when I finished I applied my alteration with Ninjamorph and bricked my phone......sigh. So at least I'm learning . I keep updating my progress until I nail this thing.

i can give the colorvalue code for blue........the best way to do it is to decompile the .xml, change the hex values with a simple text editor, and then recompile
its very simple, i just dont know which values to change in order for the progress bar to visually function properly

I have the color codes, I use www.colorpicker.com for that. As for the progress bar it's "08 00 00 1C". There's three of these. The first set is the background for the progress bar, the next two sets are the color for the progress bar. I think I accidentally changed something else in the file which through my phone in a boot loop. Thanks man, I appreciate your help on this. No homo though , lol.

Damn, I knew I screwed up somewhere.
here is the value #ff00a8ff
i applied this to the .xml, and it worked, but i edited the wrong values so it was just a solid blue bar that didnt do anything......heres an example of the color in the screenshot below, because i edited an. xml with this value for one of my themes. its the color of the notification SUBTEXT (like where it says "Select to disable USB debugging.")
Yeah, your voltage theme is the ****.
EDIT: So what steps should I take next?

THEME METRO 1.0 *Assembled by Quest
This is a beautiful mix of themes that I find work well. It started months ago with 2.1 as a personal endeavor but now I feel I would like to share.
***\ I am going to start this off by first saying that at least 90% of the elements of this theme were originally created by someone else. More than likely a highly skilled designer or developer. I am not posting this for any credit other than a thanks for the months of picking, choosing, creatively using things in place of other things, swapping and trial and error, or maybe a "Hey that dude has good taste in mixing and matching". I made this theme for myself and although I know tastes very, I think these parts fit nicely on the Galaxy S and really show off the SuperAMOLED screen. I have also tried to accentuate Touch-Wiz rather than demolish it. That shows in my notification bar in sticking with the blue/black. I have added a bit of gray to the mix also. I'll try to reference all the great themes I have used but if I forgot someone please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. Enjoy./***
What's Included:
Metamorph themes for-
Settings.apk -changes icons to high-res color glossy.
MediaProvider.apk -changes the media scanner running icon only.
Browser.apk -makes address bar glossy black as well as a couple other mods.
Phone.apk -color matches touch-wiz now with some green swapped for blue
framework-res.apk -mish-mash of many different drawables.
twframework-res.apk some new drawables and adds blue droid to pulldown, carbon-look and glossy
quick panel icons.
*What's Missing: You may notice my desktop icons match well but they are NOT a part of this theme, they are from an ADW theme called Theme for Sense by Johnny Bueno. It's a paid app, well worth the buck fifty and super nice, the launcher is more than likely your most used app and you have to look at it constantly so why be stingy on it's looks right? highly recommended.
What you need:
1) A Galaxy S Phone
(this is done on the Vibrant, I don't see why it shouldn't work on the others but I have not tried it. Always make a backup in case it doesn't play nicely) I've done this theme on all the froyo ROMS from Eugene, TW and Master.
2) [APP] METAMORPH this is an application made by one of the great devs at XDA developers named Stericson. It actually replaces the drawables and/or XML files within the framework or other system applications without creating a "skin" or overlay that would otherwise slow the system down as other theming methods do. I'll explain how to do this briefly but here is a link to everything you need to know about this method: Vibrant Morph Thread.
3) ROOT ACCESS This one is easy. If you don't know what this means, you don't have root access.
Ok now that the prerequisites are defined, I'll add one caveat: This theme applies to different parts of the phone each one you apply individually. If your not using a custom ROM that has a DeODEXed system/app the Browser.apk and Settings.apk may not apply properly. So if you're not using a custom ROM,be forewarned that the browser and settings might not work. Worse case scenario you might have to do Nandroid restore.
Instructions:
Okay let's get on to the meat of it. First download the Morph from my Dropbox Here:
DOWNLOAD [THEME]Metro.zip
1) Make sure you have USB debugging turned on in Settings -we're not using ADB it just needs to be on.
2) Once you have the .zip file someplace on your phone, open Metamorph and allow it to finish running checks.
3) Next select Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to the Metro.zip file on your sdcard.
Once you select it, it will automatically begin extracting the files. may take a few minutes.
When It's finished, you may get an error message that the theme is invalid, just ignore this as it is only due to the way the file was zipped. If this happens just reopen Metamorph and select Pick existing theme.
4) Click on the Metro.xml file it's highlighted with a giant green "M" next to it.
Select "close"
5) Now select each subTheme individually and click "Apply it" starting with "Phone.apk", when it's done do the same for "Settings.apk", then "Browser.apk" then STOP!
6) *For MediaProvider.apk make sure you have ADB handy to reboot, or you may have to pull the battery because after the theme applies, it will force close repeatedly untill you reboot the phone. I don't recommend pulling the battery if it can be avoided you could lose or corrupt data. Once phone reboots move on to step 7.
7) This next part is crucial. most problems are because this last part wasn't done right. select "twframework-res.apk" next, even though it's last on the list, and select "Apply it!". It should go without a hitch. If your phone reboots thats ok, Chances are all the drawables were applied but if not apply it a second time.
8)Reboot
9) Select "framework-res.apk", select "Apply It!, continue past the second warning. Most likely your phone will reboot this time on it's own. Sometimes this happens before all the files are updated. After phone boots up, I ALWAYS do this twice to be sure all the drawables are swapped.
10)Reboot and Enjoy.
It's many reboots but this is the best way to ensure all the themed files are written.
I want to thank with much love and respect the great devs and designers who put there heart and soul into these designs.
-Thanks hacku -droid in notification pulldown
-Big thanks to dena994 for this insane theme i used extensively :ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA
-Thanks to Master Ive used a bit of Axura, a georgeously themed ROM.
-Thanks to Eugene373, not so much for the couple drawables I borrowed but more for the great kernel and ROM work that he does also.
-Thanks to Team Whiskey, for the Obsidian base that this theme started on, as well as the great ROMS and kernels those guys do.
-Thanks To all the great developers that make Android such a great community.
-Quest

You can flash the settings by Itself but unfortunatly the only thing that will change is the icons. That is because the contuored background is part of the framework. Any app that uses Android's ListView would also display with that background. If you only want the icons, you can use MetaMorph and after you select the xml file and hit "Close" just select the Settings.apk, apply it and reboot. as for a flashable .zip, I will try to put one together for the entire theme. I have not tried it with Nero but it should work just fine
Nero beta 3
Well I just tried it on nero.no luck.strange it's the first rom I couldn't theme.
How do I make the Clock Background Transparent. Id really like to learn how to do some of this.. High level steps would be sufficient. Thanks
This is what I'm wanting rid of.
Id also like to know how to change the Font Color If possible as well.

I have a bunch of clocks without the background and different digit font and colors on my thread. Flip and non flip... and I take requests also. I don't have the link Cuz I'm on my phone, but just do a search for stoney 666 or bad seed customs here in the apps and themes forum. Or the clock link on my sig. Different thread but same clocks.

So i found one i liked and installed it.. But now nothing works.. None of the HTC Widgets will Work. and I cannot Long Press on the screen to put widgets on the screen.
And When I use the menu and goto personalize and browse for htc widgets rosie force closes.
Im trying to install the StockWhite .. I thought I had a 4x5 Setup. But Im going ahead an trying the non 4x5 to see if that fixes it.
You just need to change one image in drawable-hdpi its the first image if your looking at it in alphabetical order. Either use to program to make it transparent or find a clock that already has a transparent background and just copy that in to the apk then push it back to your phone.

The older clock widgets don't work properly on the new framework found on the ThunderBolt, which is why I haven't made all of my clocks available by saying they were compatible yet.
What you want to do is take a look at the htcclockwidget.apk using 7zip.
You can download my restore for Tbolt in my themes thread here in the Tbolt section.
Download it twice. Use one as your main backup, and one as your mod test.
The one we are going to use as your mod test, we are going to open up using 7zip, open the .zip until you get to system/app/ the apk is in this folder. Open the .apk in 7zip and this is the graphic we want to replace, "clock_add_weather_base.png" it will be located in this location: (see attachment)
All you gotta do is either right click and do "open outside" do what you want with the graphic or just replace it with a opacity of ZERO and the background will be gone.
To make it easier, I have included the transparent graphic. Just drag and drop into the same window shown in the attachment photo, and 7zip will ask to update, click yes. click all the way back until your out of the .zip. and then your done, use the .zip to install via clockworkmod recovery and boom, its gone!
Your welcome
P.S. Here's a .zip update instead if all that is too complicated.
Just copy this to the SD card, reboot into recovery, mount your system first, and do install from sd card. and then once its done, reboot.

OK so Now I have a few questions lol
So I made some changes and such as described above. And Installed the Zip via clockwork.. says it installed
But I still have the same clock? so I deleted it and put it back and its still there with none of the changes. Not even the change you put in for the transparent background.
what Did I do wrong?
** Oh and I also tried it with no changes at all just the zip you provided incase i did something wrong.. and it still doesn't show?
----
Opps I Figured it out.. i wasnt Mounting the /system before installing Works great now haha My bad.
OK here is my home screen. My next question is how do I change the font color on the clock widget. And is it possible to make the weather smaller?
Sent from my Thunderbolt using XDA Premium App
decompiling... done
OK So Ive learned how to use apktool
Done.. got it all de-compiled..
But now what do I edit to do what im wanting. there are so many xml file.. guess its just a hunt to find? and trial and error to know whats what?
How do you make the clocks white background with the numbers transparent? I would just like to have a white outline and text for the flip clock?
I tried the zip a couple times on BAMF 1.4 and BAMF demix and it doesn't change my clock, no transparent clock... I dunno why.

Hey Guys,
This mod will remove the time from the notification bar on your Atrix. You will need to install the Java SE JDK in order to perform this mod.
You Must Be Deodexed to Perform this Mod!
Instructions:
1) First download smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar from here http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list. Rename them to just smali.jar and baksmali.jar.
2) You'll need to pull the services.jar from the /system/framework/ directory on your phone to your PC. Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever. Unzip the classes.dex file to a new folder and place the baksmali and smali file there too. After that open a new command window within that folder and run following line:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex
3) You'll have a new folder now called "out". Browse to "out/com/android/server/status" and open the file called StatusBarPolicy.smali with a text editor. I personally prefer "Notepad++".
4) Search for:
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
5) It should be under ".line 592". Now add this line underneath the line you just searched for from above:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
6) Save the file.
7) Open a new command window within the folder you created before or maximize the same command window you used before and run this:
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o edited-classes.dex
8) Now you'll have a new dex file called "edited-classes.dex". Rename the old dex file to classes_old.dex and rename the new file to "classes.dex".
9) Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.
10) Push the updated services.jar back to the /system/framework/ directory on your phone and set the file permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot!
That's it! Now you have more room for icons...

FINALLY! Been looking for someone to do this. havent tried it yet, backing up right now..
**EDIT** lol nevermind, cant figure this out on my mac and my pc isnt running correctly atm. Anyway to make this flashable through cwm for noobs like me?
Sweet look
any way to make this an update.zip? sry new to this and am not really comfortable with this

Hey Tone... thought I would post it here.. just in case people don't want or don't know how to do this.. I created the CWM install version for them... credit goes to you for the MOD...
I also attached a 1% services.jar from Gingerblur v3.5 with the no clock mod... I don't use the 1% MOD... but you can give it a try...

Huummm, battery level seems to be stuck @ 100% now... let me try erasing battery data via CWM
Well, I don't know??? Wiped battery status and dalvik cache with CWM and battery status still shows 100%... Going to restore to the backup I made before flashing this, and confirm that this was indeed the problem.

Hmm.. this is just for the default status bar.. this might not work with the 1% battery mod that also requires the services.jar editing.... let me see if I can edit that and you can give that a try...

Think I got it... just edited my services.jar from gingerblur v3.5... going to flash and test. If it works, I'll post it.
Should probably note for windows users that "text editor" doesn't mean notepad It'll prolly screw up the line endings and cause problems.
Thanks for the guide though! Good work
This worked great and thanks for the zip file above thumbs up guys

Hey Tone... thought I would post it here.. just in case people don't want or don't know how to do this.. I created the CWM install version for them... credit goes to you for the MOD...
I also attached a 1% services.jar from Gingerblur v3.5 with the no clock mod... I don't use the 1% MOD... but you can give it a try...

You can give it a try, just use the stock one and not the 1% one.
Make sure you make a backup of your stock setup in CWM first before doing this just in case it doesn't work...
Oh, btw, you got a thanks from me cus I hit the wrong button when trying to reply to your question..

Make a backup and then try it... I moved away from Greyblur a while ago and don't want to flash that on my device to see if it works, it should though... but I've only tested these on 1.83...
Good luck

Yeah, i flashed it a while ago while on greyblur and everything works fine, except the notification pulldown isnt transparent like how greyblurs pull down normally is. The .zip posted is from gingerblur's services.jar i think..

Standing battery without much headache by editing Horizontal icons
Well may not be new but PNGs are always doubtful how they behave...
What I wanted is Standing style battery and I was have very nice battery icons set that was in horizontal style.
I simply opened all of them in a picture manager and Rotated then Clockwise. Done..
and Its working fine with the statusbar and looks good without any loss of png quality.
I liked it..

Any guide of method to remove that ??
Thankx in advance.
Hi guys! I've been using Samsung devices for a year or so (Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and now Galaxy Tab 10.1) and I like how TouchWiz look, but I hate how Samsung threw so much green in their blueish theme so I made this mod.
My goal is to take off every green in the TW UX theme and make it blue. This is something I started making for me and I decided to share it with you.
Here's what I achieved so far:
- Themed notification toggles
- Themed wifi in and out icons
- Themed brightness scrubber
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Installation instructions
1. Download the file
2. Extract the content, there's one folder for every apks you need to pull from your tab (As of now there's only SystemUI.apk)
3. Pull the appropriate apks from your tab
4. Make a copy of your stock apks in case something goes wrong
5. Make sure you did the previous step
6. Re-read step 4 and 5
7. Open your apks and copy my images into the appropriate folders
YOU DON'T NEED TO DECOMPILE OR EXTRACT YOUR APK, JUST OPEN IT USING YOUR FAVORITE ARCHIVE MANAGER
8. Push your modified apks to your tab and reboot.
I strongly suggest to reboot in recovery and use adb to push your modified apk
The reason why I use this installation method rather than a flashable zip is that this way, you can apply this mod on any ROM or Build version, as long as you have TouchWiz on your tab.

I havent flashed it yet. I am still enjoying my completely stock Tab at the moment. Perhaps in a couple weeks I will start flashing things onto it.

It doesn't modify anything, only image swapping. You have to modify your own apk so you still have stock. You need to be rooted though.
Thanks looks good, no clue why they didnt match the colors in the first place
I was thinking of doing a theme myself, mostly just changing the background of the settings menu etc, maybe some icons too, just not sure about the amount of work involved
hi froli13,
you have some news for us? I think this is very usefull for the ASOP theme on the sgt10.1. Please more .

The only reason why it wouldn't work is that you did something wrong. It's just some modified images.

and I have done this exact same thing before with my phone. I am new to the tablet, but have made many themes for my HTC Sensation and I have made recovery themes. Those are way more detailed than this is, so Im not sure exactly what I could be doing wrong, which is why I asked for suggestions besides the obvious.

Hey guys, at the end nothing is wrong, it missing something .
I have found and fixed it. Froli you missed the folder drawable-sw600dp-mdpi for the galaxy tab 10.1. So to see in my original SystemUI.apk in the Overcome Rom. <- link
When you copy the same pictures in that folder then it works. Only one or two images are missing. I will report this in 15 minutes. Have to take a look now.
X Minutes later
The missing files are:
1 - quickpanel_icon_airplane_dim.png (uploaded zip file quickpanel_icon_airplane_dim.zip)
2 - the green checker by AUTO setting for brightness
.. - i didn't find it he must be somewhere in \system\framework\res\drawable-mdpi
.. - btn_check_buttonless_on.png or
.. - ic_bullet_key_permission.png
.. - otherwise i don't know for the moment
3 - added the icons for data (quickpanel_icon_ing & quickpanel_icon_data_on in zip quickpanel_icon_ing_and_data.zip)
4 - will check for more, but you users can put a finger on it to let us know which icon is missing or wrong colored for TW
BTW
1 - Here a LINK to calculate and understand chmod better for beginners. Also a online mod calculation can be found there.
2 - froli13 possible we can talk via skype (me = mike2nl)
3 - please report it is working or not
Possible i can do more, but it will be helpfull when froli is OK with that. Possible you user have ideas about it and then we can make it togehter? What do you think about it?...
Hello community!
Intro:
You may not know it, but Samsung(and maybe every popular Android phone manufacturers) has a ready-to-use Light theme "pre-installed" in our devices, not only the Galaxy S Advance of course, this theme probably exists in every latest firmware for Galaxies from Samsung, including Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S2 and many more I guess, the Galaxy S4 is not an exception, which also comes in the Light version already set. I found a way to switch in this light version, and it's VERY easy. Maybe newbie-friendly too. Ok maybe not so easy but it still is as simple as adding a word. Literally, it's only adding a word! Read the "Notes:" sections at the end of the post before doing anything.
Getting to the point:
These themes exist in the framework-res.apk, specifically, in the /res/values/styles.xml
You will find different themes in there including Google's "Holo(.Dark)" and "Holo.Light". These are the basic ones, which will be used by almost every application that does NOT have it's own skin, so these applications will use the either Holo(Dark) or Holo Light.
There are three(I think) more basic themes in there including the stock Android, this one is based on Gingerbread I guess.
The other two are the Device Default and Device Default Light. These two are the ones that a manufacturer, like Samsung, can edit to give it's devices a custom and unique style.
A stock application that comes pre-installed in the software(Like SecSettings.apk, MusicPlayer.apk e.t.c.) will probably use either the Device Default or Device Default Light. This is up to the manufacturer to choose. In our case, Samsung has set most of it's applications to use the Device Default.
A small "What I am talking about":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to set the Light theme to an application:
Requirements:
The application which you want to change it's theme. (I will use SecSettings.apk as an example)
apk-tool (I use APK Multi-Tool because it's very easy to use)
Notepad++
Know how to decompile/recompile
Instructions:
Decompile the .apk.
Go to "/res/values/" folder and open the file "styles.xml" with Notepad++.
Click "Find" or press "Ctrl+F".
In the "Find What :" box enter "DeviceDefault" and hit next.
Check the first result you get, mine was this:
Now, copy this ".Light" (without the "), this is the magic word!
You will paste this exactly after every "[email protected]*android:style/blabla.DeviceDefault
Like the image below:
Even if there is something after the DeviceDefault like this:
You will still paste the ".Light" exactly after the DeviceDefault like the image below:
Make sure to paste it ONLY in "parent=" lines, and in EVERY "parent=" lines. There are exceptions though, based on the .app. But don't get confused, even if you make a mistake, will be able to find it and fix it later. For now just continue the "paste" process.
Once you have finished the "paste" process, save the file and overwrite the old one.
Recompile the .apk.
That's it! Copy the .apk on your phone, place it where it belongs and set the right permissions.
Reboot, open the application, and take a taste of a light UI that your phone's manufacturer had hidden from you.
Notes:
1. I don't even know if other manufacturers like Sony do this too. If yes, then this tutorial will work for these phones too, probably.
2. Don't try this on framework-res.apk. framework-res.apk can be used too for you to change your theme to Light, but it will probably cause many graphical errors. And it also requires a different way to change the theme. I have tried it and got both good and bad results, check the second post for more information.
3. If you tried and had any errors I could use a hand, just post your compile log and myself and maybe some other people will help you if we can.
4. Modifying the framework-res.apk in a proper way will allow every stock application to be themed without having someone to edit them. Again check the second post.
5. If you find something confusing you can freely ask by posting here.
6. I am not sure about everything that I say in the "Intro:" section. It's just my theory, excuse me if I'm wrong.
7. These themes are the main reason(probably ) for the apps to have both "holo_dark" and "holo_light" variants of .png files and colors. People who have edited SystemUI.apk's and framework-res.apk's "drawable-" folders will understand what I am saying.
Here is a modded framework-res.apk, with this I managed to theme almost every stock Samsung application without editing anything except the framework-res.apk.
I am totally sure that I changed some things without thinking first. The styles.xml is big and I almost got lost. I did everything I could for now, I'm sorry.
You can flash it only on LQB firmwares, maybe only some of them. Check the screenshots to see what I have managed so far. Expect MANY UI bugs.
P.S. It's just for you to see how a Light theme would look. Don't complain about bugs on this, please.
Light Framework
Screenshots:
Great job, Koulis!
Well done!! :good:. Must have taken you quiet some time to find how to do it. :good: :good: :good:
Still people need to understand that this won't magically invert the theme to white... You'll still get loads of UI bugs, which you of course, must fix manually.

If i want the google default holo theme (like nexus) thenbi should write '.holo dark' instead of '.light'??

I just have one note, to make this much much easier...
When pressing Ctrl+F go the replace tab and on the find space type "DeviceDefault" and on the replace space type "DeviceDefault.Light"... Then press replace all... This should replace everything in one click, I guess.

Thanks for the SCREENSHOTS.
Really useful.
I followed your steps and compiled & decompiled using VTS software. (http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/).
Absolutely NO ERROS before after compilation.
After copying the file to /system/app with ROOT EXPLORER (with proper permissions),
When I click SETTINGS ICON - I get a message saying "Apk N't installed".
What could be the reason - any idea???

Did you copy the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk to the new compiled in dist? AFAIK is it like signing. When you try to install by hand do you get a parsing error?

Thanks for the reply!
As you can see from the enclosed screenshots - no problem with the compilation and signing.
VTS is taking care of the same.
What I'm trying to do is copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and settings.apk from different custom ROM to current ROM.
No problem in copying and overwriting the original files of current ROM.
TAB works fine.
NO FC's.
Only thing is I'm trying to change LIGHT theme of secsettings.apk to DARK theme.
Either I get APK n't installed or FC (SystemUI.apk etc).
Again If I replace secsettings.apk from CUSTOM ROM to current ROM - works fine. NO FC's.
Might be I need to dig deeper....
