Hello eveyone, could someone point me the direction of a light weight theme or just an icon apk that allows me to have colourful icons in the settings menu?
I'm looking through the market etc but just can't find anything suitable.I've tried a couple of themes but have caused phone to slow down or don't apply correctly. I idealy just want to be able to change each and every icon on the phone.
I'm on Galaxcy Ace
Ice Cream Final no tweaks
baseband WKT3
CWM 5

If you want to change each and every icon in your rom,then,extract your rom,then search the rom for apps and now decompile or extrace them one by one and edit the icons in them
theres no easy way doing that except to get ur hands dirty by decompiling apks and edit them one by one.

Hi Community
has anyone yet played around with framework-res for 2.1?
i tried a bit.
seems to me that not only the basics but 90%+ of the "theme" (icons, bg, other color giving PNGs) are now located in framework-res.
so basically to change whole theme you need a working framework-res & then search the even fewer (than 1.6) spots left blue ^^
here's my first atempt (yes it's awful, but nontheless good result for my first steps )
though, i do not recomend use this, as i kinda mixed up sth with .9.png, popups kinda look funny sometimes, still haven't found all i broke ^^

please post a factible metod for change FRAMWORK-RES.APK
or post a tutorial
Roberto: jajajaja te registras y to xDDDDD anda que! tu primer mensaje!!! xDDD y yo llevo ya pffff....
ok here we go with how to flash it without startup loop:
basically it is safe to just take an already running installer ^^
i choose Chewitt's theme installer for my purposes.
like his work on x10 & thought it a great installer for themes.
edited a bit, if you like i can give you my package, though i might have to retranslate to english, since i ported it to german for a german forum
give me some minute
edit: here we go
but pay attention! it unsecures your shell, giving a computer or script root in EVERY case ^^
resecuring though can be done by doing step 1 with other chmod value

Thankssss =)
working perfect in xperia x10 mini pro!!!
I dont know if multiply the same thread makes any sense.
When firmware update will be available for my unit i also update my theme to 2.1.
good job!worked fine on x10 mini..
Do we need to resign the framework-apk before using the installer?
anyone played with /system/media/bootanimation.zip ?
I have start to edit the lockscreen. But its not ready yet.
First pictures
Edit: does anyone know how to change the clock on lockscreen?
my best guess would be to edit the widget provided by se ^^
seems to me perfectly the same ^^
any1 tried?
k that was rubbish ^^
btw, does anyone know where to find the "end call" button?
i found a dummy in SemcPhone, but did not change a thing (since it changes with language i think it to be a drawable xml..)

BTW (and sorry for the offtopic), can you tell wich app are you using to take the screenshots ?? I´ve tried a lot and all of them make the shots unviewable filling the whole picture with distorted and messed lines (even the same apps were working perfect on donut).

i use Droid Explorer on PC...there's a screenshot and even a screencast...
haven't found an app that works on 2.1 mini/pro yet...
wish someone could break the bootloader already so we won't have to painstakingly edit each png file we could find...
i would if i know how...
great work for everyone here!
you guys are brave!
wow! this is amazing! i rly hope u are done with this soon, its gonna be my first priority to download!! good work.
well as i posted previously i already tried to alter DigitalClockWidget.apk
the widget changed, but the lockscreen..
so DigitalClockWidget may not be (the only?) source
and well yes i altered images in ALL folders where i found clockrelated pngs
(there are three if i remember correctly..)
You can do a logcat while activating the lock screen on the phone.. Maybe you have some clues there...
that lock screen looks awesome! but wouldnt it be better if you did it black to go with a black theme I think that would look better, I'm not really fond of blue
EDIT: search for ShootMe in the market for screenshot app

am going to give you 2 files you have to add it to the theme
i'll upload it and PM
There wont be any ROM updates, theme itself has been in the making a while now and basically final, any changes to the theme will be released in the theme thread and would only need to be flashed as a theme, but tbh I dont think any changes need made. The ROM itself wont be its good to go
how to instal extras?
i'm on baseband 2.0.49 so i take it that's not good?
how about black market do it there ?
@Astral07 - Yeah you need latest Firmware from sony first to update baseband and get the official multi-touch. Also to intall the latest xrecovery, You can use FlashTool to update to latest here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
@quattre222 - To use the icons you can create custom shortcuts on you homescreen with launcherpro and select your own icons for the apps or with ADW Launcher. The backgrounds are just normal wallpapers, The dock bars also can be chosen in Launcherpro and ADW launcher

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

Thanks, I'll take your word for it. But I don't use TW launcher, and the app I refer to gives me a list view - a dealbreaker for me, was looking for a listview forever and a day, and I'll never go back

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

This could be done relative simple Already made some theme from sources for another devices.
Sure could be done coloured icons,menu icons and backgrounds. Only lockscreen might not be ported.
I could make a try to do this theme if you want... Even I dont like this skin
As HeliumX10 says. I think You only have to adjust images for our screen resolution (maybe not even by all of the files). Just take a look in framework-res.apk. The same goes with apps. I could help You editing framework, so that it works.
i jus want to edit the caller screen of this mod...how could it be done is it possible...????

Yes, could be done. But remember we could mod only icons and backgrounds,not the layout of the controls .
I have searched and cant find one and i'd really like some help with this. I've tried modding the SystemUI.apk myself with no luck, just leads to "SystemUI has stopped working" errors. Things I have tried...
-changing all of the images in SystemUI.apk
-flashing a SystemUI.apk with the theme from another ROM (Sense 3.6 and 4.0)
-attempted to decompile framework-res.apk and htcframework-res.apk (errors everywhere)
I guess Sense 4 is a different beast. Currently running NightmareSense. I'm looking to make it look like this... http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/

If you want you make your rom look like that flash fourth bar infusion. It is themed to look as close to vanilla Android as possible.
Flashing that status bar linked in the previous post won't work for sense 4. I tried doing the same it just causes the status bar to force close over and over again. You might want to try downloading omega status bar from the play store.

Well I managed to theme the entire status bar except for the clock, check it out...
Edit: So nobody knows how to edit the color of the clock or rather has an easy way of doing it? I'm having trouble decompiling the SystemUI.apk to get to the xml files.
