I made a nice black/white theme for the Arc with help of the UOT Kitchen v4, some modding and using the great themes of hansip87 (10-in-1) and like-p (v1.8 mod) as base themes. It's based on the original Arc theme and therefore it doesn't have graphical glitches like a lot of highly customized themes. The theme is compatible with the 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware of the Arc. Arc S and Neo are not supported but may work. Also flashing on a locked bootloader using Xperia CWM Auto-Installer may not work so be warned and make backups! It may also be required to re-login into you Google-account due to replacing of system-files.
WHAT I'VE ADDED/CHANGED:
-Customized selectable/sliding notification area widgets v2b (tnx to sj8023ld and rablex) in black and white with 2G/3G toggle. Widgets can be changed by using the included QuickPanel Settings app.
-CRT on/off animations (tnx to unknown Japanese user).
-Reboot options to CWM, fastboot and normal reboot (tnx to AdamTt, tRippinthehead and Black_jackss) in power-menu.
-Swipe-to-Remove notifications (tnx to ThJap).
-Kill app long-pressing back-button (tnx to kenjidct). Enable under Settings => Apps => Development.
-Media volume stepping in 30 steps instead of 10 (tnx to AndroidON).
-Disabled scrolling cache to improve smoothness while scrolling in list-view (tnx to AndroidON).
-Xperia S style lock-screen (tnx to FlamEmo).
-Increased smoothness of spinners (tnx to D.O.C).
-UOT Kitchen v4 changes: black/white theme, battery icon with percentage, glowing parts, customized notification area, flying animations, bubbles loading circle.
-Customized system-backgrounds. You can choose from 10 system-backgrounds in addition to the default SE themes. Suggestions for new system-backgrounds (at least 960x854 resolution in good quality) are welcome. I will not add more system-backgrounds, but instead I will replace system-backgrounds to not let the size of the package get too big. Choose them under: Settings => Display => Theme. Or don't replace DefaultThemes.apk to have only the default Sony-Ericsson themes.
-ICS boot-animation. Can easily be changed for something else by replacing bootanimation.zip with another custom animation. Or don't copy bootanimation.zip to have the default boot-animation.
-Recompiled .apk files to minimize the file-size.
-Zipaligned .apk files for optimal performance.
CWM FLASHABLE INSTALL (using DooMLoRD's kernel):
1. Make a backup as a lot of people don't read these instructions and end up in a boot-loop!
2. Download/transfer the zipped flashable theme to your phone: CWM_BnW Arc theme v13 for 4.0.2.A.0.62.zip: MediaFire
3. Start your phone at least once before flashing the file in CWM. Flashing directly after a firmware flash may result in a bootloop.
4. Restart and you're done!

MANUAL INSTALL (using rooted stock kernel):
1. Make a backup as a lot of people don't read these instructions and end up in a boot-loop!
2. Download the theme: BnW Arc theme v13 for 4.0.2.A.0.62.zip: MediaFire
3. Extract all the files in the zip-file to /system/
4. Change the permissions of the files as below (when applicable). Double-check each file as you could end up in a boot-loop if you don't set them right!
bootanimation.zip (boot-animation) = "owner/user: ---, group: rwx, world/everybody: r-x" (chmod 075)
QuickPanelSettings.apk (QuickPanel Settings) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
android.policy.jar (reboot-options) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
framework.jar (reboot-options) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
SemcPhone.apk (phone app modded for 2G/3G toggle) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
framework-res.apk (theme, reboot-options and mods) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
DefaultThemes.apk (system-background) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
libsurfaceflinger.so (CRT-on/off animations) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
Settings.apk (settings app modded for kill app by long-pressing back-button) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
SystemUI.apk (theme and mods) = "owner/user: rw-, group: r--, world/everybody: r--" (chmod 644)
5. Move the files (when applicable) to the right place in the below order or you may have to restart (multiple times) to move them all due to UI-errors. Be sure the permissions are set as in step 4!
bootanimation.zip = /data/local/
QuickPanelSettings.apk = /system/app/
android.policy.jar = /system/framework/
framework.jar = /system/framework/
SemcPhone.apk = /system/app/
framework-res.apk = /system/framework/
DefaultThemes.apk = /system/app/
libsurfaceflinger.so = /system/lib/
Settings.apk = /system/app/
SystemUI.apk = /system/app/
6. Restart and you're done!

SCREENSHOTS:
NOTES:
-The launcher on the screens is GO Launcher EX.
-Widgets on the screens are: Palmary Weather Premium and Aix Weather Widget, Android Pro Widgets, SiMi Clock Pro (Donate), Simple Calendar Widget, Beltegoed Sinopia, GTasks, TrackID™, PlayerPro Music Player.
-Icons and dock background are from Custom Launcher Icons / DroidIcon.
-The original SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware files can be found here (tnx to XperienceD) in case you want to return to the stock theme or want to recover from a bootloop. To recover from a bootloop you can use CWM, also on a locked bootloader using Xperia CWM Auto-Installer. Just replace the files in my CWM package with the original files and flash it to go back to the stock theme. Bootanimation.zip can be deleted manually to have the original SE boot-animation.
CHANGES FROM v12 TO v13:
-Customized selectable/sliding notification area widgets v2b (tnx to sj8023ld and rablex) in black and white with 2G/3G toggle. Widgets can be changed by using the included QuickPanel Settings app.
-CRT on/off animations (tnx to unknown Japanese user).
-Reboot options to CWM, fastboot and normal reboot (tnx to AdamTt, tRippinthehead and Black_jackss) in power-menu.

-UOT Kitchen v4 changes: black/white theme, battery icon with percentage, glowing parts, customized notification area, flying animations, bubbles loading circle.
Work nice on Xperia Neo
When replacing SystemUI.apk I got an infinite loop saying the status bar keeps crashing.
I can't even get to the phone restart.
I have set the permissions of the new files as you said (rw- r-- r--).
What can I do?
Edit: Hey, as always, I got an idea just after pressing "send"… By locking the screen, I can access to the "Turn off" function without being blocked by that error.
However my phone self restarted after placing "framework-res.apk" into "/system/folder".
Now it's in an infinite loop of restart
Edit²: From what I've read I should have used Root Explorer, other apps can't set permissions correctly.
Seems I have to flash my phone again. Is my only solution for stopping it to remove the battery?
Edit³ : I took the battery off, then reflashed it. This time I bought Root Explorer to change permissions and apply the theme, no error message and my theme is in!
(I made a slight variation of your Black&White in the end)
I'm on a Xperia Neo and everything works so far.
I hope my story will help some people
Sorry for the late reply. You could have flashed the doomlord custom kernel with recovery support. Then it was possible to flash a theme via a zip-file with all the right permissions.
But flashing also works . I always use su file manager to set permissions. Root explorer also works. Just always check the permissions when they are in the system directory, before you move them to their final destination.
The thing is, I have a locked bootloader and want to keep it that way for warranty.
So I guess I can't install any kind of recovery, from what I've sawn.
Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated !
bottom icons

No. You have to set permissions and move it to the right locations. installing it the normal way will not work. Or you mean mod it with UOT then yes, but use this one as it includes a reboot option and without you could end up in boot loop.
too nice, I love it! a big thank you
Added a CyanogenMod 7.1 version.
Ditched the CM version as the status bar cannot be changed with UOT. When you want a nice black and white skin for CM then use JAMT Black (Free or Donate)
Updated the skin with notification widgets, reboot v2, and some transparency for the notification pull-down background. Rest is the same. Will upload when UOT is back online.
Added a version for the 42 firmware. This one is exactly the same as the 368 version apart from reboot v1 (no reboot into recovery). Will update to reboot v2 once it has gotten an update.

When you don't use systemui I think you get the default notification area. So restore the factory systemui and you would be fine. I will have to look into the battery styles. Will get back on this.

Instructions for manual installation on Xperia MDPI devices:
Before you install it, you must check for two system dependencies, see imgs:
and
If you are running the GB 2.3.4 firmware or ICS you should have these files.
TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!
Clearing predefined system settings xml´s folder for Home.apk:
- Check for this path in your /system: /system/etc/customization/settings/com/sonyericsson/home
- If the /home folder is there, just delete it (only /home) !!!
Now install:
1 - Download choosen attached apk (v7_???_Home.apk) and put it on your sdcard.
2 - Rename it to Home.apk
3 - Download attached v7_HomePreferences.apk and put it on your sdcard.
4 - Rename it to HomePreferences.apk
5 - Using Root Explorer copy both files to /system/ (mount /system as R/W)
6 - Change both files permissions to rw-r--r-- like img:
7 - Long press on Home.apk and select Move
8 - Paste Home.apk on /system/app/ and replace original apk
9 - Long press on HomePreferences.apk and select Move
10 - Paste HomePreferences.apk on /system/app/
11 - Reboot you phone
Important (after reboot)
12 - Go to "Config >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All", tap on "Xperia Home" and select "Clear Data" (you need to rearrange your widgets)
VERY IMPORTANT
Home.apk and HomePreferences.apk work together and they should be in the /system folder!!
Or simple create a flashable .zip with choosen apk version and flash it on recovery with CWM !
To create your own flashable .zip:
1 - Download attached v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip
2 - Download choosen attached apk (v7_???_Home.apk) and put it on your computer
2 - Rename it to Home.apk
3 - Open v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip with WinRAR and go to \system\app\ folder
4 - Drag Home.apk from your computer and drop it on \system\app\ WinRAR folder
5 - Close v7_(Place_Home.apk_Here_Before_Flash)_Update.zip file
6 - Ok (rename it if you want)
To do:
- Vietnamese translations
- Hungarian translations
- Chineese translations
- HDPI versions
If you like, press thanks...

try this:
1. change your home launcher with other ( to avoid force close or bootloop, perhaps )
2. using root explorer, delete home.apk in system/app (back up the original first)
3. copy home.apk (mod) to system/app. change permission to rw-r--r-- or same as other .apk in that folder
4. reboot
i try it more than 5 times, never get bootloop..
how about this one? im not good in photoshop

I will release v2 soon with several tweaks, and blurry background is one of them. Thanks again.
See new v2...
I replaced the Home.apk with your, and now it wont open.
I don't know what I did wrong, I used it before, but I had to reflash my phone, and now, this happens.
Basically, I can't access any app, since app drawer is down.
What should I do now?
Something with ADB?

FAQ
THEME FAQ
What's the difference between the dark and the dark_minimal theme?
The minimal themes only have one highlight color (dark holo blue).
The main advantage of the minimal themes is their reduced boot time compared to the multicolor versions.
They're ment to be used as base for porting or creating other single color versions.
Can I use this theme on my *devicename*?
Most likely yes. The themes can be used on any device with the screen resolution the filename of the theme suggests.
For example, the "1080_*variant*.zip" can be used on any FullHD device.
When I reboot to recovery, the theme isn't applied. Any ideas?
This is most likeley due to wrong naming of the theme folder or the ui.zip.
Make sure the folder is named "theme", without capital letters.
Also check if you accidentally renamed the downloaded zip to "ui.zip.zip" (common pitfall when renaming the zip in windows explorer).
When I reboot to recovery, I get a "recovery bootloop". Is my phone broken?
Nope, this is most likeley due to a bad download.
Please download the theme again using another browser or app. For instance, ES File Explorer's build-in downloader has proven to be unreliable for the dropbox links I provide.
I like what you did there, but can I has more/other colorz?
Colors are a matter of personal preferrence. I try to keep the themes neutral, and the colors used are (mostly) in accordance with android design guidelines.
For other colors, you'll have to modify the theme yourself. I will gladly provide the source file for the images to everyone interested.
Will you make a dark/black Play theme?
No, because I don't want to maintain more versions of the theme. But everybody is welcome to contribute to the thread...
Will you help me to port my favourite other theme to device XY?
No. But this guide provides insight on how you can do it.
RECOVERY REPACK FAQ
What version of TWRP is the repack?
Always the latest available for a certain device.
As I don't keep track of all TWRP threads, please remind me if there was an update for your device.
I'd like a repack for *devicename*, how do I make one?
Download and unpack Android Image Kitchen.
Unpack the zip.
Download the zip containing the custom curtains (splash images).
Get the recovery image you want to modify from the TWRP download site.
Copy the recovery image to the Image Kitchen folder.
In windows explorer, drag & drop the recovery image on the "unpackimg.bat".
Unpacking will create two new folders (ramdisk and split_image).
Rename the splash of your choice to "curtain.jpg" and drop it into /ramdisk/res/images.
Hit "repackimg.bat".
This will create a "image-new.img", which you can then flash away using your preferred method.
My preferred method for installing the recovery is GooManager, so how do I flash this .img thing?
Use the theme. It now supports direct image flashing from the install page.
Via Fastboot. Most useful to know how to (especially in case things go sideways).
Via app. For a variety of devices, Flashify has proven to be a good app for flashing recovery images. It's under (very) active development and I highly recommend to give it a try.
Alternative apps (can be device specific): SGS4 Flasher, ... (please help me to populate this part)
AROMA FM
Download this flashable zip.
Flash the zip in recovery.
It will copy the flashable Aroma FM package to \TWRP\aromafm.
Go to "settings" and tick the option to use Aroma FM.
Profit.

This is just a theme for the recovery and the screen resolution is the same across all Note II variants, therefore, it works fine on each.

Love black theme!
Wow, these look great.

Thanks very much.
Thanks for crediting me
The black one is sexy as hell... much recommend
I am Weasl

and you've been PAC'd by a Note 2
How to use:
Download the theme of your choice and rename it to "ui.zip".
On SD card open TWRP folder and create a folder called "theme", without capital letters.
Copy ui.zip to theme folder.
Restart to recovery.
I've did exactly what you said here and nothing happens to my recovery

Please don't take this as an offence, but you didn't use the hyphens I hope? Other than that I'm afraid I can't help you, as I only have devices with virtual SD.
Hopefully gewuerzwiesel can help you sort it.

Mate, I just rooted my girlfriends S3 to have a device with internal and external SD to test. I dropped the theme in the TWRP folder on sdcard0, which is the phones internal storage. Rebooted, worked.
Maybe a bad download? Please try again with the updated version and let me know how it went.
Cheers.

Only launcher is wierd, i dont see lighter, but this is only my opinion...
Version 0,6 is out there, and it brings to us changed notifications panell, battery bar, pull down menu etc. Some things is removed, like shake to clear ram. Still have some bugs like chrash of setup wizzard (just ignore), but this rom is the best possible option for (easy) improving look and fill of our devices.

I've flashed this mod to my P710, V10J.
Modifications that I've noticed:
-Xperia style lock screen (definitely better than stock)
-Xperia style keyboard
-Lots of personalization settings about notification bar.
-MIUI style status bar (useful shortcuts, black background, way better than stock)
-Clock JB+, Total commander, gps checker and widget app.
And here are the issues:
-Home button LED and front buttons back light doesn't work. (P713 vs P710 difference, I guess.)
-Status bar is kinda problematic. Some of the settings aren't working. (BatteryBar, Status Bar in "My Settings")
-Battery icon isn't present in my status bar. (You can put percentage though)
-Only Russian, English, Ukrainian and Kazakh languages are present.
-Reboot to recovery isn't working.
-When using mobile network, status bar icon is old blue one. (H+)
Wifi, mobile network, gps are working without an issue.
Overall, it has some issues but definitely a good start. :good:
Thanks to the developer.

With this thread i try to encourage people to make their own mods/changes.
My P710 is property of my company, and only time i have for mess up with phone (if any) is weekends evenings.
I finaly get way to deodex app & framework pulled from device (from version 10e), but have no time to experiment with putting that work back on phone (see below).
And on my the phone is v10j (europe open) now,,, is polish language included there?
I need help, because is too easy to brick device... Is there (on this forum) guys who dare to compile kernel for this device? I found description for procedure (for p713), but on russian, and some steps is too complicated for me-no brain & no time. Russian, and english, is not my mother language, so i'm not exactly shure what i reading anyway.
C'mon guys, wake up, do something please!

Since i dont perform restoring from CWM backup before, I have some problem with restoring back to stock-everything works, but restoring data folder (maby because i have more than 500 files in one folder ) failed.
Anyway, backup in my case, is kind of success, because restoration of sistem/boot gives me result like factory reset of original (but some data, before error is restored). After restoring (with failure), i just make "Wipe data / factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition", then from advanced menu "clean dalvik" to clean garbage, and phone works like new one, and even stay rooted.

Installation error-24 for some apps
First of all thanks a lot for this mod bcoz its been tough to find mods for this particular model.
And I get this "unknown installattion error-24" when i tried to install Google Chrome from the PlayStore.
So is there any solution for the problem??
So...I know just enough to be dangerous. I am attempting to slightly customize stang5litre Ultra Note5 - just change the quick settings toggle colors & text, slider bar colors, & perhaps change the dialer keypad buttons. Maybe a little more if I'm successful. I have been reading up on how to do this by editing xml files from here and here.
My problem is finding all the correct apks to decompile and edit. For example I have decompiled "SecSettings2" but it doesn't appear to have all the necessary files and I can not find a simple "SecSettings" or "Settings" apk. The same goes for the phone/dialer. I have found "Telecom.apk" and "TeleService.apk" but no Phone apk or SecPhone apk.
Any guidance is appreciated!
/system/framework/framework-res.apk maybe?
