Hey guys,
actually I am on a Stock Rom and am trying to modify the icons in framework-res.apk
I found some very nice parts in several custom Roms here in our Section as well as in others, i.e. Sony/LG and and...
My plan is to mix up the icons I like from different Roms and made it already but I can only apply framework-res.apk via ADB, to provide it to others here I would love to have a zip where only the framework-res.apk is placed in...is there someone who would provide this to me ?
For now my maingoal is to bring Battery in Percentage and some other small things to any stock Rom, even for people without root and with even less knowledge than me ;-)
So, what I'd need is a flashfile that only changes the modified Icons...anyone ? Would be sooooo kind
Uot kitchen can make it

Depends. Which theme? Link?
There's a couple theme porters available here on xda, or google. Or you can look into doing it manually, then you can grab what you want and mix and match. It sometimes takes a few tries, but its fun if you like that sort of thing. All you have to do is unzip, swap out the pngs you want, zip and and sign, make an update.zip and flash, or use something like Ninjamorph to stuff it back. Automates the zip, sign, replace.

The Theme that I was interested in coverting over to CM6.2 was the andro green theme originally found in the Hero forum, the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783883
+1 for an answer to this, I'm in the same boat. Tried Theme Porter but I think I'm doing it wrong...
Basically what i ended up doing was just replacing all the appropriate images in the framework-res.apk

what program/app did you use to do this?
It be really easy to port that theme since its already on a same size mdpi device . Only thing that would be a little time consuming is if he made any changes to the xml's which isn't hard to do just takes a little time to sift through it and compile it to your framework based on the rom you are using.

I used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to decompile the ROM that I wanted to replace the images in the framework-res.apk. I definitely recommend learning how to use it because it will allow you to customize ROMs of your choice and allow u to add and remove apk's in the ROM. And then recompile it.

Not anywhere specifically, I learned by decompiling frameworks and reading tthrough the source xml's and asking and read up in theme threads and Appmanager. But if you have any question about something specific you can pm me

Here's a guide on how to theme.
Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Not entirely true.
The original ace got its first custom rom by muaythaifighter before it got custom kernel, way back in july last year.
Not sure if the stock s5830i kernel had init.d support or not, but its not mandatory.
Just deodex, add powermenu option, add ics animation, add crt animation, add overscroll glow, themed framework, change fonts, repack as cwm flashable zip and u got a nice custom rom.

Decompile framework-res.apk
Its in /system/framework
After decompiling it
Go to res/drawable-ldpi
Replace all the
stat_battery_xx with ur nokia battery images
Note that don't change name and resolution of those images(.png)
Recompile framework-res.apk
Replace it set permission
I think u also have to edit framework-res.jar to make it work
P.s. this is juz for info I am a noob
And above info might be wrong

Why do you want to use the old nokia type icons? Make it a bit more stylish!
Check this thread. It got a lot of good looking battery icons, download the zip, extract the icons and replace them in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-ldpi and flash the apk back!

Ok I was gonna post this 2 hours ago but power went down (damn storms)
So I've extracted the battery icons from the Camera file and have modified the framework file with them, even changed charging one. You can try it out but I cannot ensure that it will work fully and especially look good. I have not tested btw.
Download the attached file below and flash through Recovery mode.

To save all the hassle, I went to UOT Kitchen and didn't choose any mods but just uploaded the framework-res.apk and it generated a flashable zip.
Done it loads of times to make backups of my original apk's.

Hmm guess a better way would be to have the flashable zip replace png's instead of replacing the whole apk. Sorry about causing you a bootloop.

Hi I want to learn all about making themes for Android roms please point me in the right direction to find easy learning guides using windows 7 to theme on jellybean and ICS and gingerbread thanks
do you want to make cm7/cm9/10- themes or flashable themes? if yes, you have to dwcompile the apks and mod them how you want... i dont know more at the moment, im also searching a good tutorial (at the end i will probably find it out by trying^^).
If you wanna make flashable zips for gingerbread roms use uot kitchen,.its easy and makes fun, legends say it can also make cm7 themes but i couldnt create one till now... for uot you only have to extract two files out of your rom, systemui out of /system/app and frameworkres out of /system/framework
maybe start over with that

that is the official thread with tutorial, its easy just type uot in google, you will find the site, click on "kitchen" and choose and customize your mods, then go to "upload files" (can do this first to save time) and choose "upload system apps", then upload em and click on "summary", if all mods are green click on "cook" and wait, you will get a code (you only need it if somethings not workin).
then you can download it after ~20-30 minutes from "pickup", you can also do that from your phone , then flash via cwm and enjoy
