editing themes - XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps

hello! i am new to forum so i thought i could greet u all first
i have a kind of a problem..i use gingerdx v022 rom, and it's great, fast and stable..there are 2 themes in theme chooser as soon as u flash the rom, a-theme and system theme..so i like some stuff from each and i was wondering if it is possible to kind of mix them toegether into 1 theme..e.g. i'd like the status and notification bars from a-theme, and font size, and settings menu icons from system theme..how would i do that?
thanks in advance, and i hope i made myself clear!
EDIT: also, where can i download the original xperia x8 icons?

if you want to get original xperia icons
you may use the xperia arc theme from market...
and about editing the theme
first get root explorer
now with the help of root explorer open the theme apk (dont click on install)
now you will see some folders
different icons and backgrounds may be found in the "res" folder..
do not forget to press thanks if i helped
yes and the system and A-theme may be found in system/apps
you may edit them from there....

It's nice with those icons, but is there a change you could remove those backgrounds behind the other icons? (the color ones?)

Hmmm.. I made it just from that twlauncher which was in the first post and switched app drawer backtabs to transparent... It took about 5 minutes to copy them from another twlauncher which is fully transparent. Didn't test it so don't know what is the problem.
Edit: Oups, didn't notice that drnishant123 made his own, working version.

[Question] Galaxy S2 theme

Is there a theme for i5800 which looks like default theme from galaxy S2? I think about great combination of blue and black/gray.
Sumee rom 4 has the sg2 theme in his theme packet. You can download the packet with sg2 and any other theme from the sumee rom thread

Hi! I changed my theme as described with the theme chooser app to the sgs2 theme but quick launch icons didn't change (phone, contacts, messages and applications). Any idea?
Sorry for the noob question, just beginning to try to mod my phone ;-)
and Clarrkov made some SGS II spin but he is banned. Certainly, somebody have it, you should just ask.

Perhaps a better settings menu with dark blue arc like background (and other stock stuff) would look real good. Apart from that love the battery icon. Great theme. Just make it better.
Edit: Themed icons too if possible.

You have to change the icons in each apps apk file by decompiling it and changing it then recompiling it. May not always work with paid apps
but the statusbar icons for juicedefender are also included in the suave hd redone theme, so i think there also has to be a way for avast and atk to include them in the theme, correct me if im wrong
so does anybody know how to include that statusbar icons into the theme?
Link me to the theme. As this should not be. Ill let you know how it is done
ill send it later to you also the icons... im at school atm.
thabks for your help so far

Ok this is an MIUI theme. Sorry but I have no idea how and I wont work on it. I took a fast look and it seems that there is a file in the zip for each app. unzip the theme, open the app apk with 7zip and swap out the images. Once again I am sorry. If I had known it was MIUI I wouldnt have offered to try and help. There are a few threads around for MIUI themes. Could ask in one of those
np buddy but thanks for ur answers so far
just hope that anybody knows how to and could help me
I did tell you how to try in my post though.

[Theme] jtc42's theme with blue txt more like xperia s/ion

JTC42 allowed me to edit his theme a little,so i came up with this...
-Blue top bar text
-Blue carrier text
All the credit goes to JTC42!!
works great, thanks.
No problem!!
Looks fantastic! I'm running it at the moment but I've edited it to include the resources from this theme but with the solid black statusbar still.
It looks great so it might be worth you asking the OP if you can merge his theme in too
So,u want me to use the blue top bar text and carrier text for that theme?
Im glad to do so!!
But i shall ask him first...

Basically, the theme he has posted is the newest Arc UXP theme leaked, but it has the old statusbar and text colour.
All I did was open up the systemui.apk and replace the statusbar images with my solid black ones (no gradient) and it looks great.
If you did that, but with your text colour mods, it would look amazing.
But definitely ask first!
works hard, thanks,i like it
can you teach me how to do it....
