Search for tutorials.
You can decompile apps with the apktool, so search for apktool tutorials.

Use 7zip it will open it for you 2 edit it if ur on windows

I "built" my own theme to flash in cwm ...im proud to say all my hard work earned me nothing but a nice brick

You must first decompile the app with apktool or app manager. Then go to your xml files and open them with notepad++. That's what I use.

developing isnt easy, your right, like i have said in other posts, The whole of team wilbroy (more of a duo/trio etc) is developing one thing right now, and it isnt easy, first you gotta build the base etc, then you've gotta get libs/apps then build the system and more and more stuff (you know what i mean) then you've gotta compile it into a zip. I wont say anymore because you will get bored
But it is NOT easy, so i agree with you

Nop, you will end up getting bootloop, i tried it and it happend to my Arc.
like the title said,SE Beta,so not for other cause i edit the framework,not thinking about other rom cause im only using ics beta,but it really easy to port it,just copy and paste all the file in the right folder,but you must have the right tool to decompile and rebuild it without error,there are many thread in xda for the tut,feel free to search cause it was really fun making it..

[U]Mod for the unlocker display?

Hi, I just want to know if there is any MOD (or any possibility) for replace the quick snap button on the new unlocker display on Ice Cream Sandwich for the old sound (or mute) button. Thanks
It can be done but I don't know who can do it for you
Mods are VERY busy Modding The new ICS for Xperia U
Well, I guess I am not the only one who is missing that exact thing, so...
Delete the
Unxtlockscreen.apk or.som like that from system/app
And reboot
