Hey,
I started to make my custom own theme, it is mix of the crysis sensation, modded steelblue theme with the gingerbread theme of clarkkov as base. But the theme has some bugs that I can't fix, so I hope someone will help me to clear the bugs.
Here are some screenshots.
Here are the bugs.
So, if someone would like to help me, sent a pm and I will give you the files you need
Note: I'm not going to release this theme.
the battery icon must be in the framework or it wont be showing...
For the rest I think .9 pngs are the problem..you must have edited them without decompiling... try to decompile your edited framework with apktool and if u get any error like "cannot find .9 patch chunk in file" edit them appropriately
Google is ur friend
Ok, thanks for your answer, will try what you've said.
Btw: the battery icon is not in my framework files, I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it :/
try looking in folders other than drawable-ldpi, I'm sure u might find it
EDIT: Other possibility,the problem could be two framework-res.apk in your system partition...when the system scans two same packages it keeps one and ignores the other...remove any duplicates if u find
Thanks again, will try to find

Hi,
I'm really new to all these rooting and apps stuff so i'd appreciate it if you would be tolerant to my noob questions.
I'm using x10i and i'm tempted to change my phone's theme after lookin at the amazing work they have here. My phone's already rooted and after goin thru the threads and learnin about framework-res.apk, i realised that in my /system/framework folder, there is no framework-res.apk in it. Seems like the files are unzipped directly in the framework folder. Due to that i am still hesitatin to change my theme as the guides mentioned to copy and replace the existin framework-res.apk to change the theme. Do i need to do somethin about the framework folder in order to install new themes? My android vers. is 2.3.3. Are there any black themes that works well and stable which i can install using xrecovery?
there are lot of black themes which can be installed .. and did u check properly if framework-res.apk is there or not .. then best option i think is better backup ur system using xrecovery then try installing the theme .. if any problem occurs jus restore it back .. else enjoy ur theme !!
Hope it helped plz thank me if it did!!
Hello guys , i'm new here .. just got Galaxy S 2 and want to re-enable the CRT-Off animation effect , i went through the tutorial from free your android dot com
did the decompile and changed the value in the XML file to false .. my problem is how to put the Framework-res.apk file in the shape like it was .. tried copy and replace with Rootexplorer twice and end up with bootloop twice also i had a backup so i restored ... i'm using the stock rom jk2 v2.3.5 rooted with the speedmod-s2-k2-16 ... i found the apk manager tool here on XDA it's a handy tool but still don't know to achieve this with the the tool ... so all i need is the CRT off animation back on for a start
thanks in advance guys
After recompiling framework-res.apk you have to copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk.

please explain more if possible ..
Rebuild apk. For example.
Apktool b c:\framework-res framework-resnew.apk
Then rename framework-res.apk and frameworknew.apk to framework-res.zip and framework-resnew.zip. extract framework-res.zip and put meta-inf and androidmanifest.xml into framework-resnew.zip. delete framework-res.zip and rename framework-resnew.zip to framework-res.apk.
Good luck

Hi guys .. i am making a theme for miui and I am absolutely hopeless with 9.pngs. I am trying to edit some 9.pngs but since miui uses mtz I cannot decompile it and therefore i cannot see the all important 1 px border. I would be grateful if someone knows a way or better still if someone could help me transform some pngs into 9.pngs ....thanks
Not sure if this helps, but you can decompile a mtz file by renaming it to a zip.

Android SDK includes a tool to do that, located at SDK/tools/draw9patch
Hi guys I've been trying to "merge" 2 cm themes together (basically I want the dialer and contacts from one to another) do you guys think you could help me out?
I've tried changing from apk to zip and look around but got a little stuck...
I know this is more of a "Theme" section post but it is also a question if the mods want they can move/delete this thread from this section

Yes just change the stuff, what is their to ask? everything is self explanatory ain't it?
. Xml files are the layout configuration , icons and all other image files in the png format, just be careful about the resolution, fonts possibly in the assets folder and finally after rezipping you have to resign the apk.
Edit :I am currently not using cm but I can fish up CM9 apks. Anyway state your main problem, I won't be available for 7 days after some hours and even now is feeling sleepy, will help if I can.
