what do you mean?
What kind of .zip?
is it flashable?
If not, extract it on PC or androidzip on phone, and use the wallpapers?
im not sure what kind of .zip your talking about.
The honeycomb wallpapers were in the forums about a week ago. I have the file on my phone but I don't know how to install. I tried doing it from recovery but it gets stuck on the installation screen.,

Don't do that. Just open the zip on your computer and see if you can pull the images out.

What he said^^^ I just make a folder on my internal sd called backgrounds and put my wallpapers in them.. I think if you long press on a zip file on your sd it will also extract it to a folder called extracted on your phone.
Just unzip and set the image as wallpaper.

i tried downloading sony sketch onto Virus airborne rom but everytime i do it stop right away and doesn't flash.
has anyone successfully flashed a font using TWRP?
I haven't managed to flash a font but I do use a workaround.
Create a folder on your sd card named "Fonts" and download .ttf files straight onto your device.
Use font changer located here, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite, pick the font you want to use and reboot.
For some reason, not all .ttf fonts will be supported.
Better than nothing though.

Can someone point me in the right direction to learn how to theme apps like Google plus, facebook and the market?
Thank you
adb pull /data/app/appname.apk or /system/app/appname.apk
Then use 7zip to extract the apk
Navigate to the res/drawable folder and edit the images there
Then put your changes back into the apk and either push or flash your themed app
You can get more advanced than that by decompiling the apk too

I have seen many users willing to change the icons of their android applications.For the willing users I have got small tutorial on how to change icons of any android applications.
Note:
This may not work in all application but as I've tried, it has worked for all of them.
Please use copy of your application in case of need of original apk files.
None of the files attached here like belongs to me.
I am not responsible for any unusable apk if messed up with.
Requirements:
1.Any android application(.apk) (you want to change icon of)
2.Icons file or any icons editing software (must be of resolution 36 X 36)
3.PC with windows
4.Sign APK
5.Your Android device or virtual machine to install
Steps:
1. Grab any android application (using applications like App Backup and restore or Titanium Backup) and send it to PC.
2. Right click that android application and navigate to open with option.
3. Select Winrar or Winzip.
4. Navigate it to "ApplicationName.apk\res\drawable-ldpi" folder.(There might be multiple icons in other folders too follow the same process to make it done.)
5. You can see file with name icon(.png).
6. Drag your own icon file of size 36 X 36 and drop it and replace if prompted (save) close your Winrar.
7. Now extract Auto-Sign.rar file to desired location and copy your apk (with changed icon ) to Auto-Sign\Auto-Sign folder (or read README.txt)
8. Run file sign (.bat)
9. Now you can install the apk manually by sending it to your SD Card.
For making you sure it really works I've changed icons of QQ player to VLC media player which is attached below.
BTW QQ player is the player almost like VLC it plays almost every video of any type.
Download are in order as listed below
1) Auto-sign Created By Dave Da illest 1
Optionals
2) QQ player with changed icon of vlc:
3) QQ Player by tencent original:

There's plenty of threads with cool wallpapers. However, they're not flashable zips and I can't find where to put them in the phone in order for me to be able to apply them. If anybody has a flashable zip for wallpapers or the location so I can just move them there myself. I'm on hyperdrive 17.1 if that makes a difference. I searched for an hour before posting this. I'll continue to check my phone files in hopes of finding it. Otherwise if anybody could point me in the right direction, It'd be very much appreciated
nada? Sheesh. So that's why I couldn't find any flashables either... what a bummer. But seeing all the threads for wallpapers... someone's gotta know where to put em. I thought I found the right directory but even after reboot they don't show on the WP selection screen
just extract them to your pictures folder and when you go to select a wallpaper use Gallery. They don't have to be in the system wallpapers in order to use them.
Technically they can be in any folder on your SDCard (internal or external) and the media scanner will find it and add it to your gallery app.
Try Zedge; search in the playstore.

You have to decompile framework-res.apk and put them in /res/drawable and recompile. (Note: you have to know how to recompile framework-res.apk properly or you bootloop and will have to Odin a stock image to get out of it)
