[MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want. :D

Hi!
For now I haven't ideas for what band/images I will add in future so:
Tell me what you want to see
Just install like normal app (after reboot the stock DefaultThemes will be restored so this is temporary method - to see what is the effect) or copy to system/app.
After copying you need to reboot your phone and then choose theme.
If someone will successful use it on Gingerbread please let me know if it work.

Ok.
So firstly: in buildin themes chooser there are no possibility to use icons for menu... Only backgrounds (for now, I'll try to make icons change, maybe add some strings in xml files or must edit smail files (very hard, but possible).

Again!
Want click 'quote'...
This is the apk with first theme, without icons. I thing there will be problem with adding icons to DefaultThemes... To change icons we need modify framework or app that want to have non-stock icons.
I think that 'Glam' has very nice appirience.
Today morning I'll upload next app for you with the second and first theme in one package.
EDIT:
Please tell me what you think about this
There is bug in keyboard in dialer... When uploading morning I'll try to repair it.
Not working brov... download, copy apk file to system/app/, add permission & restart!!!
Don't know why. I install this on my phone - work, copying working too... I will see and try to make it work.
What error you get?? Try to install first... Tell me if instaling of this package is working.
Check one more time permissions... If I can use it without any errors then you can too.
Try redownload apk.
Upload with images so you can see that it works.
Application background in 'old paper' is little edited because the original was to bright and texts was less visible.
which one did yhu upload again brov...?
nice screenies... thanks so much buddy! i copy to system/app, add permission den restart... when i open display- themes, it was blank, nothing shows!
I don't know why it is blank. In my phone you have seen what it's looks like.
Take a look at post #10... There is an app with moded 2 themes. Try to install (not copy) and tell me is there still missing dialpad background.
What is your phone? What system compilation do you use? Place a screenshot with issue you talking about.
I figure out how to ADD (not modify) themes.
Take a look at attachment... There one theme added called 'NEW' (copy of 'Glam' but is more then 7 buildin themes).
i get parsing error while installing....
am using xperia mini pro buddy. what do yhu mean by system compilation?

No issue with keyboard?
If you delete original DefaultThemes.apk from system/app you can install themes (like normal app) and after reboot it will not change to stock.
First backup and then delete. On ICS this is working correctly.
To change icons we need to modify apps... This is a lot of work. In DefaultThemes or ThemeChooser app there are no possibility to add icons change mod or it's very very very hard to do.
When I buy new PC I'll write app (this is a plan ) to change whole UI (backgrounds and icons) for stock.

I think you should just search for some theme.apk files and install them through a file explorer...

Unless you're going to publish a theme that contains other Peoples work then you don't necessarily need to ask for permission to use things from different ROMS to make your own personal ROM.

i only mean: editid an png with piant/photshop is easier than edithing it in xml's (like some jb have) its allmost more code.
also in comparement to ICS/CM9 4.2.2 theming is real harder and there not so many TuT's out there - tried several times - its hard
i have a bunch of unsolved questions about this - but not for ICS...
..so if nobody tells me & cant find solution = i dont get it solved/work.
so yes in my oppinion it is REAL HARDER if i see it from NOW ....
:good:

yes tried it allready (with simplex, other on ics) but the apk's didnt install allways get cant install apk or parsing problem.. dunno if its signing or sth..
also just to make an example: if i theme and need edit more ressorces like xml's (had ast problems with progress bar) there only very few threads about thus if it is sth special like editng size and behaiviour of UI components is impossible for me (wanna edit download apk from cm10.1 to only delete it from this apk screen; not to delete whole file )
theres allways a pointm in most of my work where i have no idea (also no idea what to do to learn it..),
but thanks for ur valuable response (but out of 8 :silly will keep up moving forward in my knowledge as godd as i can, at least thats all what i can do...
peace
It's really hard. I did some modifications in the SystemUI, Framework, Settings, but a lot of things in the framework don't changed. This is what i have got. (The tiles pic is showing the white glow light.

Hey, anyone can help me? I edited all the framework but didn't see the changes, as you can see in the images. What i have to do?

This is all part of the learning curve. You need to make sure you've changed the right images but even then just because you change what you think is the right image in the framework or SystemUI doesn't mean it's right and it could be in another apk, Phonebook, Conversations etc, or it might be that you've not recompiled correctly.
For example, the sliders, the check boxes that appears on Settings, Status Bar and other apps are localized in?
i decompiled the Xperia Z Theme for CM10.1 and the images change the framework. Am I correct?
