Hey guys,I have posted a rom which is called Blend and here is the link to my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278760
Only BL unlocked users can flash my rom but you may like the UI style of Blend if your BL is still locked.
Therefore,I decided to post the resources from the rom here for anyone who don't want to unlock the bootloader.With these resources you can have a Blend UI for your own rom without unlock your phone's bootloader.
UI resources from Blend:
system/app:
1.MusicWidget.apk
2.widgetdigitalclock.apk
3.widgetonoff.apk
4.datatrafficswitch.apk
5.MediaWidget.apk
6.Home.apk
7.DefaultThemes.apk
system/framework:
1.android.policy.jar
2.framework-res.apk
3.framework.jar
WARNING:
1.You should set the right permissions for those resources when you move them into the system directory!
2.Only 2.3.4 users can use those resources.
3.I'm not responsible if you brick or damage your phone! Just be careful and Good luck!

That was fast!
Thank you!
One thing: I'm using transparent home with 7 home screens. How would the home.apk affect the theme if I use mine instead of yours? Or can you mod yours to incorporate those two mods?

You can just replace my home.apk by yours. It's OK.
Just installed! Works perfect!
Few more questions/request:
I'm guessing I cant add the CRT animation as it would replace the framework-res.apk? How do I change the wallpaper in defaultthemes.apk? And will Track-id widget, call log widget and other SE widgets be themed later? Also, with the Music Widget a separate apk, does this mean I can use other launchers to get the widget or is it somehow attached to SE Home like the previous firmwares? Thanks for all your help!

1.You can open framework-res.apk as .zip format and replace the anim directory to change the animation or you must replace those three apps at the same time.
2.Wallpapers are actually under this dic: system\etc\customization\content\com\sonyericsson\wallpaperpicker\wallpapers
3.Track-id is useless if you have unlocked your phone.
4.You can't use other launchers to run most of the widgets from SE I believe because they are based on SE home and SE framework.However you can have a try.
Thx for your reply.
Jason,
Anyway you could make one for [4.0.A.2.368] because of battery drain issue I had to switch back to that version. I was using your ROM.
can .42fw use this frame?
Hello, i've tried this on .42 with proper permissions and my phone went into bootloop.
From which build are those system files?
An old build, I guess the one before .42
Jason, I know your'e on Miui now, but could you please update this theme to .42?
Would love to use this.

Thanks for your answer.
=> it's OK for the clock.

Why the buttons "Clear" and "Ongoing" are in English ? my ROM is French.

yes but yor rom must be a deodexed one.
How do I install this? metamorph ?
Bihariel, can you try updating european version or say me what are the changes it includes? (services.jar)
Thanks
Hi!
Great Thanks for your Theme, it really looks nice and works fine for me.
Im running 2.34 Rom with deodexed and Jit Files right like the guide of Sorensiim.
I only have a few questions and small issues now...
Is it possible to merge this framework with another one, id take the original european one, so there will be more regions chooseable, especially Germany.
What files do i have to replace in the original 2.34 euro framework-res?
only the drawable folders? color folder?
The 2nd issue i have is the display style of the service provider name....in your screenshot its quite big and bright white, mine is small and grey...as you can see at my attached screenshot.
Everything else works fine, also the white text that shows up e.g. when installing something.
Ill attach the euro framework-res, as you can see its a lot bigger than yours, i think thats the missing region support. Perhaps anyone else also wants to try merging these two.
Update:
My tries to merge the two frameworks didnt really have great success...
I always copied the files from the sense framework into the original framework using winrar.
It always worked, but not everything was as it should be:
on the first try i only replaced the folders up to the last drawable one.....
The result was black text instead of white in the notification bar.
2nd try was to copy and replace everything except the resources.arsc
The Result was white text in the notification but the menu test when pressing the menu softkey on the homescreen now was black on black.
The display of the service provider as shown in the screenshot never changed.
If any1 has another idea, let me know....
Until then, ill live without having the german region and some minimal rests of english interface.
Hi Bihariel, can you tell me if its possible to uninstall this theme?. Or can I make a backup of current theme and then apply yours?

yes, you should backup framework-res.apk and services.jar from the folder framework using root explorer.

nice theme bro
keep the good work
i actually prefer blur to sense. blur still seems like its android where with sense it seems to loose that i think
My network signal is still black and so operator name. If there's a way to fix it?
Language is English, but locale set to russian, if this matters.
I installed it via recovery and got a reboot(???) on 1st boot, but now it works ok... gotta reboor it one more time for a check )) framework-res.apk
On a stock there is 5 sticks, and here is 4, when the signal is maximum, it is black. Would you fixed it?
And it is use many power. in powertutor without - 50m, with 1100m
My fimware is 2.34 official
good job nice looking
Working on Chinese froyo ?
Hi,
I prefer the sense jog things and unicolor notification icons over the default ones, however i really dislike the gradient bar. So i have slighlty modified the op's theme: I've put a few icons from gingerbread and fixed the black signal icon issue. The notification bar has also been changed (provider name is now readable).
To install, please first flash signed_sense_defy_fixed (see first post), then push the attached framework-res.apk to /system/framework using adb.
Edit: it seems like every time i update framework-res, the android market FC on me. To fix this issue, just clear market cache and then uninstall the app update (it will be reinstalled automatically from what i can see).
I have extracted few apks from 4.0.A.2.368 you could tried it out in older firmware and see if it works. Let me know if you want anything else.

Guys
I searched the Sony Ericsson category in the new market app on my phone yesterday, and you can already install the new widgets and apps from the category. Just browse the category on your phone to get some of the new .368 apps :-D
I have also provided a link on the website to show you what's available. Thouh their might be some updates which are available in this post, and not on the market itself.
Both sources help
https://market.android.com/search?q=sony+ericsson&c=apps&feature=spelling
Life Contacts is available
Data Monitor
Various new timescape extentions
Live view
P.S.... @ShyamSasi hope you don't mind be posting this, did not see a point in a whole new thread, let me know if you want me to put elsewere...thanks

I haven't tested it myself since i'm using the new build. I would think the Home.apk, ThemeManager.apk and DefaultThemes.apk.

Well not all the applications are in Market for example the updated Home Launcher, New Timescale UI, Data Monitor Widget etc.
The update has same kernel and android version so installing all these apps/replacing other default apps will "update" my already rooted 2.3.3 right? Will try this weekend.
Thanks for posting the apks!
photo widget is missing from my widget list.. guess PhotoWidget.apk is not compatible with the old fw
Cant install the weather widget and the theme manager,,why?
Sent from my Sonyericsson Xperia Arc
Try to move them all to /system then change permission. Then move them one by one to /system/app. Others will have to be replaced. See if that works. Will try myself this coming weekend.
Edit: When I said all, I mean all apks including framework. Framework. jar should also be in its right folder. You'll know it is right because it will ask you to replace the file. Framework.apk is important for home, themes, xloud, widgets to work. Reboot after you've done that.
So if I want xLoud, I'll lose my current theme?
Yes because it is activated in settings menu which is in new framework apk. Just mod it again after you are done.
Are there other .apk I need to use xLoud or just the framework-res.apk?

Yeah, I've also tried this... DO NOT replace your framework-res.apk from 3.0.1.A.0.145 with the newer 4.0.A.2.368 version. Your phone will get stuck in a reset loop and unless you have an unlocked bootloader, its a huge pain to get root again.
I ended up just using the 4.0 firmware though because I love the new weather widget so much
with 4.0 firmware the phone is running faster w/o root compared to 2.3.3 with all bloatware frozen with tbp.
Since nobody else posted one, this is my attempt at an ICS theme for rooted stock Arc ROM.
The theme has been tested and is working on version 4.0.1.A.0.283 and 4.0.2.A.0.42, and reported working on .58, however as always, install it at your own risk.
MASSIVE thanks to XperienceD, we now have a working release 5 with CWM installer! I did almost nothing on this release, so all credit to XperienceD on getting this one out there!
Please note, this is a framework THEME file. For the launcher (including icons) and ICS style lock screen, use LauncherPro and Widget Locker. PLEASE don't post here complaining that it hasn't changed your launcher icons.
New in Release 5:
Volume/Progress bars now ICS style, thanks to XperienceD.
ICS boot animation added.
Easy ClockworkMod installer
How to install:
1. Download and install the SE Extreme Tweaker tool from HERE.
2. Following the instructions, install the ClockworkMod Recovery for your Arc.
3. Place the theme ZIP file somewhere on your SD card, root directory is always an easy one.
4. Reboot into CWM recovery by powering up and repeatedly pressing volume down.
5. TAKE A BACKUP! I am not responsible for bootloops so always take a backup just in case
5. Once backed up, select Install ZIP from SD Card, and chose ZIP to install.
6. Navigate to the theme ZIP file, select install, once installed, reboot.
7. Enjoy! (Hopefully)
Note: For the ICS style gradient background, apply the Onyx theme.
Anyway, hopefully this will work fine for everyone as it is.

I was thinking about this. Basically what has happened is I got hold of all the theme resources I could and began porting them over. I'm really REALLY new to this so I'm not familiar enough with how it works to feel comfortable doing a lot of XML editing so that would involve editing over 100 images, which I don't have time to do.
This leads me on to something I was going to say anyway. If someone more experienced than me at this wants to have a go at the battery without %, and also getting the volume/progress bars to the new ICS style then please do!
I can supply resources for the progress bars but I have no idea how to go about editing the XML so it reads from the images as opposed to just the colours.
Thanks

Thats really weird, the other icons and most other things like that are stored in the SystemUI.apk, but there are resources scattered across all 3 files so it's weird that the status bar changes but nothing else does. Are all the other resources the stock Sony Ericsson ones?
yeah just stock firmware apart from dooms kernel

It may have something to do with using the Dooms Kernel? I don't know how the resources and framework are laid out on that, I've literally only tested it on completely stock firmware except for root.

You need to have a themed launcher to make the icons.

Works with stock 2.3.4.
I noticed the lockscreen notifications were the same as the original, and when I went through the APK, i found that you didn't completely change the lockscreen notification images; the new ones were copies, therefore they didn't overwrite the original. You might want to fix that
Other than that, it looks great.

first up you can edit posts and tittles.
second what are you after if you mean a simple theme then you just have to change the images / layouts. otherwise it has to be hacked into the smali in the framework. (not an easy task)

haha im also using your team rom. is it alright if i change the files from your rom? and what files would i be changing to just change the lockscreen. im currently on the 4.0 rom. would i need to change the files from the 3.8 and 4.0. sorry about my noobishnes im pretty new to this
