I modded the livewallpapers.apk from CM7 to include a few additional images, one of them being a beats logo wallpaper. My phone is running ICS and I cant get this to work as my wallpaper selection is broken. This should work for any GB base ROM, but i need someone to test it out. If it does work i will post a tut on how to change the background images.
So to install this-
download the attached apk
use a file explorer to change the existing livewallpapers.apk in /system/app to "livewallpapers.bak"
copy the file from you SD card to /system/app
change the permisions to match "rw-r-r" and reboot
change you wall paper to a live wallpaper and choose the nexus LWP
click on preview, then settings at the bottom to change the color and background
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS

I think this would be best moved to Themes and Apps. It isn't a ROM.
Very nice though. I'll keep my static wallpaper though. Battery and all that.

This is touchwiz 4.0. 10x smoother than 3.0
First boot takes a while.
The wallpaper in the preview pics is heavily compressed, make sure to download this one instead:

WhiteHawkX stated that in his thread. He said he would get to fixing that soon. When he does, I'll upload again.
looks like there's a notification popup also. I'll get to themeing that once the update is posted
Is this compatible with Bi-Winning?

Thats some sweet stuff.
I like it but might I reccommend instead of doing all Grey style for the dock icons. Maybe do a Blue and Grey/black like they did for the Market apk icon. I feel like that would fit the Trigger Rom theme alot more. Its all Black/Grey with a Blue off-set.
Just an opinion. Like the idea though.
I'd do it but I cant seem to find the dock icon's .png in the zip file to do it myself for some freaking reason.
I dont know if im crazy or what haha
That sounds really cool but i plan to do an entire black theme for trigger so this is just one part.
Each apk I included in system/app contains an ic_something png which is the icon for the application.
All you do is extract the apk search the res folder for ic_ then locate the image and theme it whatever color you want.

Big thanks!
I thought I looked through there. I'll look again, I obviously missed it haha.
after changing it, how do we place back into .apk format?
Thanks dude always wondered this haha
Theres a long way and an easy way.
Long way apkmanager
Easy way open the apk in winrar.
Drag the res folder out.
Make edits.
Drag the res folder back into the apk still open in winrar.
Click ok.
Close winrar.
As long as you leave everything the way you left it before you started, it should work.

Are the widgets working in this version? didn't see anything about it in the Op. Being 2.2 would that version work on NextGen? I don't mind the theming
It should work. I can make a nextgen specific flashable if people want. maybe after I finish v2...
actually that would be awesome, just so the theming matched. If EDT or TW release any patches to fix the widgets we'd be able to flash over this right? Might as well. NopCodex may be a while yet putting out the TW version
works fine on NextGen, this is strange though, when setting the default home screen the numbers are one off, like if you want page four to be your home screen you have to tell it 3 you set it to 4 and hit home it goes to 5, weird. and it shows program monitor in the widget picker (which is effing BA!!)but when you pick it it says problem loading widget. ****ing tease lol
So on the original kb5 rom thread the widgets are working now.
PLEASE READ NEWER POSTS. THEY CONTAIN THE THEME.
Do not thank me for any of this, I simply asked. please give all thanks to lauterm.

systemUI and framework
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
Here are orange themed SystemUI and framework-res. I made these from the April 12 nightly. I'm not sure if they will work with any other versions of CM9. Definitely make a nandroid backup before you try them. You can push them via adb or copy them to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework.res.apk using something like Root Explorer. If you use something like Root Explorer mount the folder read/write, copy the files, and make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- like the other files in those folder. Then, simply reboot.
I'm not sure if I'll get around to ever theming any more stuff orange, but it can't hurt to let me know stuff I missed or did wrong.
Enjoy!

Updated!
Updated for the 20120418 official nightly...and zipaligned this time
SystemUI.apk - It adds a new set of battery icons with a little keyboard. I assume that is for when you have an external keyboard attached.
Trebuchet.apk (NEW) - Orange theme added for homescreens and appdrawer. It also replaces the blue architecture wallpaper with an orangified version. It's pretty hideous though. I'll try to come up with something better at some point.
framework-res.apk - Now available and hopefully working too. I've never had any success copy/pasting framework-res. I always have to use adb.

No worries. I'm not really sure I'll be able to keep up with updating this anyway. It's kind of a pain. Hopefully, CM9 Reloaded will support tablets soon.
The newest nightly has Theme Chooser for CM9. Hopefully, someone will make an orange theme. I don't yet know how to make Theme Chooser themes.
I want to replace the stock icons with illest theme icons from kgill7.. is there a way with out using a third party launcher to do this? Right now I'm using apex launch with white frost theme for the skin and illest adw icons. It looks nice, the only thing is that apex doesn't change most of the icons even tho its in the theme. So I been snooping with root explorer to see if I can just rename the .png and push it to replace the stock icon. But I've had no luck so far. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Not sure if it's what you're talking about exactly, but I changed the icon of a stock HTC camera apk one time. Used 7zip on a PC. I had a camera apk that had an icon I really liked, but a newer version of camera with stupid icon came out.
Anyhow, I put both apks on desktop. Opened with 7zip. Browsed the pngs til I found the main camera icon. (Think it was called launcher.ic.png) just swapped the PNG into the camera apk that I wanted. Didn't have to sign apk or anything. Just don't extract the apk to browse its files. 7zip lets you browse without extracting.
Not sure if this was the kind of info you were lookin for. Sorry.

I like Nova Launcher becuase of all the various options it allows and it also allows you to change out the icons for virtually any of the aps you add to your desktop - I personally am using ADW icon Pack and a Launcher Pro Icon pak (both work with Nova just fine) Not sure if this is what you were talking about - but I hope it helps -
desktop visualizer will do that for you.. change icons without using a launcher
Thanks I'll look in to that n yea I know how change the icons on the desktop just really want to change the icons in the drawer as well but thanks for all the responses

N yea I thought about looking through the apk to see where the PNG was, but in system/app on the root of my phone. Tried looking, but no luck. :/ guess I'll try to back em up n see if I can just re install.

I have found a way to actually change the icon, unlike desktop visualizer where it only creates a short cut of the app, this app actually modifies the icon to which ever one you choose. It's called ninjamorph. I take no credit found it on another forum just don't remember what forum.

Hello folks, I'm trying to save the "Aocp wallpapers" from the rom itself to my external SD so that I may set them with quikpic(I use root explorer). If I use the system aocp wallpaper picker, it doesn't set it in native resolution, but seemingly the original pic size which isn't as "HD" looking as I like, and seems to cut out parts of the pic. Using quikpic seems to resize and has great results..Anyone? I typically navigate to the framework Res apk >drawable folders to find the system wallpapers, but can't seem to find them in this beast rom.. Awesome rom! Now need Awesome wallpapers! Thanks in advance..

Alright I know how to do this, but I am wanting to change a lot of my icons in the sense Rom I am running. Is there a way to do it in batch form? What is the easiest simplest solution to this? Any help from you expert themers would be very helpful. Thanks....
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
First, if you are replacing status bar icons, the easiest way to do this is open the apk with 7zip and drag your new icons into the correct res/drawable... folder.
If you insist on a batch operation, you can look for a VillainRom theme package. They use a script to replace (and it is flashed in recovery). I suggest finding one of these and looking at the scripts inside to learn how it works. You basically create the folder with the images you want to replace and it does the work for you. Be sure to thank the creators of this very handy tool.
Finally, you could create a batch file that uses 7zip to do it. I actually did this for a brief time until I came across the VR themes.
You could use my ReZone theme as a guideline for doing what you want. The ONLY downside is it doesn't work with TWRP recovery.
Thanks for the replies....
What I should have specified is the app icons in the app drawer, and desktop. I downloaded the anti apple icons, and want to make a custom theme using them for myself. So I can open the apks, and change the icon, but that takes forever. I was wondering if there is a themer program that would allow me to do it in a batch format. That way u wouldn't have to do it for 75 apps individually. I know that you can install theme packs on aosp, and was hoping there was a way to do it with sense. Again, thanks for the interest, and help...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
easy enough if you are using nova or apex launcher and doing an icon set or viperes rom has this option
Yeah, I was hoping to do it on Dsb's 3.6 Rom. I may switch back to viper when the update drops. I was just hoping there was an easy way to do it to sense roms that the themers were willing to share....

My original suggestion is what you want to use, it works on Sense. First thing you would do is clean out my folders or just make new ones following the folder structure. Then basically all you have to do is find the apps icon name (extract original .apk). Create the folders and add your new icon. Then just go into recovery and flash it... BHAM!! new icon. Lets not make this difficult. It will work on Sense or AOSP ROMs. Very simple thing to do..
EDIT:
I have attached a sample .zip were I change 3 icons from my Theme the Camera, Gmail, and YouTube. If you follow that format (icons have different names and locations) you can change any icon you want and all you have to do is flash it.
Thanks Zone. Started last night. You say bam, but more like bbaaaaaaammnnnnnn. I will finish it up through the week, and post it in homescreens thread with a special thanks to you..
