How to cook apps into system? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been around this android world for a while. Never could figure out theme making or how to even mod a Rom lol,and I did read read read. Just couldn't get it down pat with my little time off each day. I was wondering if anyone knew where a how to was that explains how to push like let's say widgetlocker with a certain theme to system/app in a rom? Maybe adw with a certain theme chosen by me? Kind of like theming a rom without messing with the framework and stuff.
Also if anyone knows a good tutorial on how to make sense 3.0 skins,a link would be nice:F
Thanks in advance,sorry for the noob.behavior,just have never really got into it. I'm very interested now

Can anyone port this theme over?

This is a beautiful theme.

Can anyone port it over to be able to use on the stock rom?
I am no Dev. But that is slick as ****. I would be down for this!

not sure if it will work on Stock/Espresso ROM but if you are running a Stock Sense ROM (ThunderBolt, Desire HD, Desire Z ect) you can download the Skins from the following thread... Glass Sense is the closest you can get to this theme, there are a few things that don't change.

and a few more
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998896
EDIT: the first link has the Glass Sense Skin
From what I understand....the "espresso" sense is different enough from the regular sense that if we tried to flash those...it would screw up our phones right?
I really want to keep the regular rom...and I love the theme link i posted.
I really hope someone can make something happen for us "stockers"

You don't flash those skins, they are .apk files... You install them as an app. Worse case scenario, you install and stock theme chooser doesn't show it.
Hmmm..now that sounds interesting
Thanks man

Just tried an apk...no workie
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
that sux, I was hoping it would work but wasn't sure... side note I forgot to mention in my first post, if you decide to switch to a Sense ROM to use those skins it has to be a Sense 2.0 ROM such as the ones I listed, Royalmint or any of the other Sense 2.1 ROMs that have popped up lately won't work.

Want this theme?

Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.
Please vote, and if you want reply with what rom you would like to see it on.

Ya bud, port it over. The more themes for this phone, the better. I could always use some help with finding new framework, so by all means, port away.
Thats a very nice theme you got there .
Looks amazing I like it simple
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yup its nice, but i wish someone would make a rom and theme which make the phone really stand out tech wise. Would love things like the snapshot picture or video which shows on cover of album for pics or vids, or even ont he widget on desktop to actually play life preview as the snapshot your hovering over, or make everything all techy and extremely futuristic if you know what i mean

Who said sense can't be themed? Challenging but not impossible
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'd love it if this was a Launcher Pro theme. I'm not going back to Sense just for a theme.
Definitely port it over. Its awesome
@Fernando I meant sense a in m10 3.5. Unless you know a trick we don't...
@mrsmith There is a launcher pro theme posted in the original thread. I think second or third post.
I tried to make it work for anyone. No matter if they used sense or a replacement launcher.

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

I would love to have it! I'm using ADW, but have used LP with other phones. I'm running the Senseless Rom from ScottsRoms.com and my rezound is running much more smoothly and quickly without Sense.

thyparancy theme

sorry if i'm starting a new thread, but i've been searching for about an hour on google and these threads. All the links i've found seem to be dead. If someone has the apk's to the thyparancy inverted or the regular thyparancy theme, please upload them. It use to be in the market and it seems to have been removed. I also read on another thread that the mattedgreen guys have taken over this theme but searched them and no luck. Thanks in advanced!
EDIT: i've found it, the links on the forums seem to be dead, i used the barcode scanner with the following link
and i found it fine.

It didn't work on X's Quicksense(boot loops) so I imagine the same will go for Bulletproof. Looks like the theme is for a different base and I know Thyrus isn't doing anymore updates to the theme since he moved on to the Galaxy Nexus. I ran this theme on my Sensation and loved it.

(Q) Resize/Center Sense 4.0 recent apps drawer???

Would any dev or anybody that has messed with sense 4.0 direct me how to resize and center the tabs in the recent apps drawer, I am currently running Newts One S RLS1 and the app drawer tabs are off the right. I have no idea of what I'm doing but I would also like to place the icons under the tabs like in the PKMN Rom and I believe chubbz Sense Rom as well. I am a noob and I would be so grateful for someone to at least tell me which files I am looking for (and I will try to figure out how to edit or change them on my own) any help would be appreciated

Nevermind, I have to decompile and recompile and I barely even know what those words mean atm. I have a lot of researching and reading to do to get an understanding of what I am up against and what I have to do. Wish me luck

TouchWiz Port(kinda)

Hello all! I am currently running CMX with a TouchWiz 5 theme. I installed the TouchWiz Launcher port along with a few different zips I have found across xda. My phone has most TW widgets, sounds and stock apps. I feel a lot of people would love to run this ROM. I have no idea how but is there a way for me to generate a zip of my setup so that others could enjoy it?
What do you guys think?

i like!!!! i would rock it all day!! :good:
Anyone that is interested or knows how to get the ball rolling please point me in the right direction. I am extremely happy with this set-up. Forgot to mention it even is running the SGS3 Camera Port as well. It's heavily themed.
please
I would love to contribute to the community. Just need to be pointed in the right direction. Similar to SVN?
The one thing I'd love to have on my ROM is the TouchWiz lock screen. My sisters both have SGII's and I love how you can flick away the lock screen

You can use this to make an update zip. Just put the apks in their respective places. The theme would probably be in data and the launcher in system.
The only issue I see is if this is the TouchWiz 5 theme you speak of it can't be included because it's a paid app.
Like the setup, i have been looking for something like this a little while.
Can you post how you did it in the meantime

I found another update zip creator that is more generic and less device specific than D4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248486
Here's a guide that explains an easier way to mount system and data by using busybox instead of finding the mount points.

Edit: This thread will help you find mount points if you need too..

Edit2: ^^ I agree. Can you post what you used for everything? Where did you get the launcher, the widgets, the sounds, the stock apps, the theme, and maybe the wallpaper/s?
Anything new on this?

I wrote a couple of devs seeking help. I am a full time student and I work full time as well. I thought about releasing a HOW to guide. I have not given up.
Pimp my ROM seems to have the full tw launcher and some widgets. Cannot confirm if all are there. You can then get a tw theme from market and you should be set. I am on decks 10-10 build (4.1.2) and the theme is not working but launcher is
