Hello everyone, im having a problem themeing the cm7 cyanbread.apk, I make img. mods in apk manager and everything is successful, but when I push it back to system/app and go to theme chooser app the cyanbread option is gone, does anybody here no a solution? thanks
EDIT: Found problem, thread closed
I know to to make a theme, but was wondering how to make use of the theme chooser in CM10. It looks like I need to build an apk but I haven't found any guides on how to go about that. Any pointers?
Try the easy way while you wait for help
Well I've been building a theme for months and there's the easy way and the impossible way, one is to extract a template theme or any theme for that matter and replace all the images with your own as long as you don't touch the .9s and use the apk multi tool (googleable) to extract optimise and sign it for you. Thats the easy way
The other is to decompile which lets you edit XML files and .9s but I haven't managed to get that to work and no amount of internet can help me. Which means no changing the name of the theme and no uploading to the market. Which is what I planned to do. But give the easy way a go if you just want it for yourself and friends etc.
I had also posted another question here on the forums trying to figure out why I couldn't theme MMS.apk and Phone.apk; one_love_420 was kind enough to respond and mentioned the same thing you did, which is to utilize theme chooser. So that is what I ended up doing. I found a template for CM10 theme chooser and added in some lines so I could also theme MMS.
one_love_420 also provided me a link to this forum post, which helps with learning how to modify the xml files and personalize the theme.

I have actually edited .9.png files before, with my old Samsung Moment. granted that was on Android 2.2 but still applies right?
Personally I preferred to use Draw9Patch and xUltimate (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700904) and Photoshop.
Here are some guides that I have looked at previously:

Thank you for your response SimBol10! Also, let me know if you have any questions about .9.png editing and I'll try to return the favor!

Hi at all,
i like to know how to theme lockscreens ? my phone is rooted.
Which tools i have to install ? WidgetLocker ? Apk manager ?
Is there a simple guide, because after reading a lot of threads im totaly confused and i have no clue how to start...
Thanks a bunch.
For starting install apktool and install JRE(java runtime environment) then decompile framework-res.apk (in system/framework) then for just starting theme the pngs at drawables then recompile and push in. System/fraework with correct permissions and you are done. No one can teach you theming follow whats on your heart.
