Hey guys, I need help... I have been making themes for the amaze ever since i got mine and always I have been able to decompile the fusion.apk file and its m10 files for themeing and it has always worked on sense 3.0.... but know I am unable to with new roms such as BulletProof v2.1.0 and others... ARHD as well... can one of you pros please tell me what I am doing wrong?.... I use the latest m10 editor that Diamondback created and like i said it has always worked with sense 3.0 but why cant I use it now? when I run an apk through m10 editor it says everything is fine and decompiles the file but whne I go to edit the png files all I see are dat files.
Thansk you anyone that can shed some light on this for me.... because I have search XDA and the internet but have had no luck finding out whats going on...
I guess I am the only person that does themes in this section...

Hey everyone,
So I, like most people on XDA, flash different ROMs all the time. The problem is each ROM has one thing I like but others I don't.
However, the joy of Android is just that! You get to make your phone custom
Anyway, I really like the notification drop down bar on Serendipity. I think Mikey and Chance did a phenomenal job with it. Looks great. But I like the functionality of CyanogenMOD.
Is there anyway to port the notification drop down from Serendipity to CM7?
Thanks!

I'm doing this off memory so bear with me for any errors. On the cm rom, pick a theme that u like and find the apk for it in system/app. Pull that apk and decompile it with apk tool. Then download the ROM that u want and take systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and decompile them. After u decompile it, look for some file names in res/drawablehdpi for the images u will want to transfer to the cm theme. Then copy them to the cm theme. I think u have to rename them, but I'm not sure what to rename them to. I will update this when I find out since I'm working on my own theme for this. After u copy them recompile the apk and sign it using apk tool and send it to your device and install it.
If u have no idea on what I am talking about search for how to make themes by jivy26 on themes and apps. Or I can help u make a port, but u would have to be willing to test because i dont feel like switching roms.
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.

Thanks for your reply. The only problem is that I've done this and cannot seem to find any corresponding images in the theme/res/drawable-hdpi directory.

In system ui in drawable there should be pictures with the labels status_bar something. There will be multiple background images and should be the toggle images. You wouldn't be able to find this if you were looking in framework-res

Ok here is the process:
Use apktool 1.4.3 to decompile the apk after loading the resource files obviously.
Then make all the modifications you want and recompile with apktool 1.4.2, now open original apk and modded apk with 7zip and replace "resource.arsc" file from modded one to the original one and you are done.
This is how it is done atleast in my case.
If you didn't understand I'll try to write a post with Screenshots if I find some time, hope it did helped you.

Cool I will give it a try in the weekend, and let you know
Thanks Alot!
I wasn't successfully able to decompile/recompile stock framework-res.apk from HTC Vivid 4.03, but I was able to decompile/recompile the one from UOT Kitchen after I did a battery icon mod.
I'd try that if you guys still have problems. You may not actually have to even mod anything, just upload the required files, then download UOT's zip, then decompile/recompile using the tool in this thread.
i have tried to decompile systemui.apk using apk manager but i always get an error. i can decompile framework-res.apk but systemui alwasy gives me an error. so is there anyone that can decompile it for me and just send me the decompiled folder and then i can just edit it and recompile it my self? i am looking for the stock systemui.apk i think i have the odex one. thanks

No-one has been able to do this yet. We have been trying for a long time. There is just something about the ASUS systemui that doesn't play nice.
You could try this thread that I read earlier, you may have some luck with it, I haven't tried:

The main themes are for non-asus ROMS, ie based on aosp. I believe reNeglect managed to figure something out with regards to ROMs based on asus firmware ie virtuous, but you would need to speak to him about that.
I don't know how forthcoming reNeglect will be, as people have not been giving him much love, and considering the amount of time and effort that he has spent working on his theme, I don't blame him for being pissed off.

no there was an edited systemui.apk for the stock rooted prime with locked bootloader. but the only thing changed was the settings menu and clock was change from blue to black. i dont have cwm.
Ok I want to make a theme for sense, and I downloaded the apk multitool, but I can't seem to make it function. I tried the instructions, but they say there are folders that need to be created and that the script would create them. It didnt. Can anyone tell me what the folder layout should be for adb, multitools and m10 tools? I know I could just take the images on over to photoshop and make a nifty theme, but I need to figure my way around this.

Should've posted this in the Q&A Section..
And there's a guide on here for making your own theme.
This should be in Q&A. Mods please move.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
I don't know how to move, sorry for that. And yeah its by kightwolf, but I need to know how to set up the folders, he just jumps right into the program in his guide...

I have been trying to edit the framework-res.apk for Cyanogenmod 10 for days now and come across countless problems. All I am trying to do is edit the ui so I may have the on screen buttons but every time time I decompile the apk it just wont recompile. No matter what app I decompile I just cant get it to recompile no matter what, even with no changes. So if someone who actually knows what they're doing can please offer some assistance so I may learn or even edit it for me that would be greatly appreciated.
The location of the change needing to be made is res/values/bools.xml line 57 needs to be set true
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89758977/framework-res.apk
Idk if this worked. I got an error when compiling but I think it still did it correctly. Rename to Framework-res.apk.
(I think you might need to use twframework-res.apk as a dependency.)
Couldn't get it to work. Thanks for the help though. I think it might just be jellybean apks that aren't able to edited yet.

Prddog1 helped me out on this, I was using an outdated apktool. Pm him. He can send you the latest build.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
