Well those guides are for apk theming. A keyboard is still an apk even though it may seem more simplistic. Trust me, they still apply
The basic idea is you're going to
1. open it up by unzipping or decompiling
2. edit the .pngs in the drawable-hdpi, drawable, or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders (there's other options too, but most everything you'll want will be in the drawable-hdpi)
3. close it back up by zipping or compiling.
Outside of that, you may need to edit xmls to change things like text color or background. This isn't always the case, it just depends on the apk.
Thanks makes sense now....will have to try it out when I get a chance gotta do sum reading up , thank you

I'm trying to figure out where the lockscreen is located inside of a Rom. I would like to port over some lockscreens from other phones? Do I just need the lockscreen xml file and the .png images? Or is there a lot more to it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure there is a lot more to it! If not we'd have roms with 10 locksreens like in Captivate Roms, etc. I'm sure its tougher than it seems otherwise devs would have done it already.

I figured it was pretty difficult, but im sure it can be done!
Lol with a certain amount of knowledge anything can be done. What lockscreen are you referring too.

I'm wanting to do the galaxy note lockscreen, it's already built into one of the roms in the dev section so i figured it might be a little easier to just pull it out and put it any other roms? Not too sure though, still reading a little on it. Just hoping someone here with experience with that sort of thing could help me out.

I would love a copy of the Sense 3.5 lockscreen without the problems of add on lockscreens like GoLocker.

I wanted to know the same thing. I want the Galaxy Note Lockscreen, and rather stay on UnNamed. Is there anyway a backport can be done?

Well I'm not saying that specific one, just something along that line. I like the idea of opening to messaging or phone or camera. All in an elegant package.

First step is decompile res... And start looking around and switching out lockscreen pic xml and anything else applicable to lockscreen.
Another thing that might help is taking a look at jkay mod as it switches around lockscreen..
I have done lockscreen on other phone buy not on this one yet. my cimputer fried so when my laptop comes in the mail i will see if i can find time to help you.

I'm learning to make Roms and want to start at themeing other peoples Roms. Do you think I should start with this or something else. I currently want to theme Bytecode's openoptimus, what do you think?
Which openiptimus version are you attempting to theme....how much themeing are you planning...first is first,I'd seek permission

if u are interested then you must consider porting of roms to make them run on our o1

Someone is making a thread for tips here and you tell him to port ROMs?
Greets!
I am planning to theme openoptimus build 1.172.1. I am planning to at first change the status bar the icons on the status bar, change up some of the colours and change boot screens at first when I theme the rom. And I did ask permission just didn't get an answer yet but will wait till I do
you dont have to wait, and bytecode doesnt answer my PMs too..
And dont theme with UOT, its useless.
Icon theming is easy.
Greets!
Thanks for the advice!
What do you think I should start with?
I know decent amounts of c++ and am learning java so what do you think i should start with

I recommend you to modify a stock gingerbread rom first.

Hey guys I was wondering if there was anyway to change the stock smilies. For example the stock smiley face is and I'd like to take away the stupid nose in all them if that's possible like this . Thanks in advance

There is probobly an easier method than what i am going to say but one way is to open up your system/app/systemui.apk and change out the smiley files. i believe they are in drawable-mdpi for most devices
I also would like to know how to do this, that method seems a little too complicated for me.

You can change them with the UOT Kitchen online . Plus you can change ( customize ) a lot of other stuff also.

If I'm correct, UOT only lets you change the little icons, the pictures, what I'm looking for is to change the output of pressing the smiley face button, as in instead of outputting , I want

Okay thanks....I've Google it and the only thing that comes up is to turn on or off the animation. I'll look into it more

try just using GOSMS app if you dont want to play around with files.
Its better than the stock messaging app. And it replaces all the smilies with more normal ones. Its free too.
I think the smileys and the noses may be located in the keyboard itself? Because I modded the mms. Apk and changed them and it worked they show up right, but the keyboard still has the noses

Short and simple, my WiFi calling icon up there in my status bar is much more pixely than that of any other device I've seen. Is it possible to theme this, and if so, is anyone up for the task? I'm not a total noob, but I'm no developer. thanks !

ROM Toolbox app in the market by jrummy16 has an icon changing feature... You can also try UOT kitchen. Are you rooted? Can you post a screenshot of your status bar?

Here's a screenshot. It isn't crazy bad, but I've compared to 3 or 4 other devices and just thought maybe there was a way to fix this little annoyance.
And yes, I am rooted. I'm pretty good with all this root stuff, but I just didn't know quite enough to fix this

Yeah that's the ics WiFi icon it looks like. You could change the theme or skin or you could go to uot kitchen to fix it or make your own.

That uot kitchen looks pretty intriguing, but it also looks a bit complicated. Would it be too much trouble to maybe fill me in on how I would go about changing the wifi calling icon using uot kitchen? Thanks
It's pretty self explanatory if u go to the website. I'm not at my pc now so can't walk you through it... I'm sure u could search though and find a tutorial somewhere... Sorry

You're using a third party app to take screen shots? You know the phone comes pre-equipped with that function? Power + Home
Well thanks anyways glacierguy. I will try to learn up on the uot kitchen. And Double0EK, I actually had recently learned that the amaze had built in screen shot feature, and I've used it, but ever since I flashed Xboarder's Rom Bulletproof, it hasn't worked.
Oh..ok
