Wrong answer...
You could be right, but no...
That are not the default themes...
I think you should drag and drop the files from your theme into the framework file and compile and sign. That should do it.
Or do you mean a theme enabled by default but not default theme?

Try wipe cache and dalvik, and sign correctly. I admit that it is strange.

Edit: did you sign, compile?

Hi,
check for what exactly ?
there is nothing special .. as I said .. if I flash the ROM and the theme separately then every thing is ok ...
all I did was replace the files in the zip..and then I get stucj at bootanimation.
I didn't sign or compile...
I have a theory : the SystemUI has a battery percentage and the apk has new files in it... could it be the problem ?

First: to clarify;
you have a couple APKs for your Tab.
You place them in a flashable zip, flash, bootblock
you have a ROM for your Tab,
you grab the .zip, and replace the theme APKs, flash, and it works?
THat is really strange...
Hi,
thanks for answering me mDroidd ...
I found the problem.. it is the SystemUI.apk
I copied all the theme files to my ROM zip except that file and the device boot ok.
why does this file need to be flashed in a separate zip ?
is there another way ?

Maybe it had something to do with permissions our something?
If you override the systemui manually, does it work? Can your send me you're updater script?

I encountered some problems and need some answers while making a cm7 rom.
( Be Prepared )
1.How to change the whole theme while making the rom? I downloaded a cm7 theme but it just gives an apk file (I need to boot so I can change it in theme chooser), but how can I change it from the start like Sonygenmod and ICS ROM !!?
2.Boot animation does not show up, I tried to put the bootanimation.zip in data/local does not work, tried in System/media where the ORIGINAL bootanimation.zip is but still nothing.
3.Lockscreen themes give something like wltheme.zip , where can I use them and change the lockscreen from the start like problem 1?
Please help if you can, cause I'm dying to finish this ROM
1) You need to edit framework-res.apk and systemui.apk
2)might be your boot animation have some problems.
3) idk sorry

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

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.

Have u edited the apk properly?
I got the same problem when I edited the stock roms framework.
The bootloop due to your apk.
If u faced this, just get the framework-res.apk from ur roms Zip file and do it like instructions

Just pull the 1 zip or 2 zips from the rom, & explore for you're self, I think its the system ui but could be wrong, I'm not near my computer at the moment to check so I can't say exactly which one it is? If you're gonna mod the battery icons you're gonna look inside anyway & I takes like 10secs to extract & search the apk? If you don't wanna do that, there are various apps in the playstore you can download for free to look at the framework pics from inside the apks without opening them! Hope this helps.... press thanks if it did

As Maarten already pointed out SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. And if you want to use them in apktool you'll also need com.htc.resources.apk.
Just out of curiosity: are you going to use UOT or apktool? Been trying to change status bar clock colour on half-sense and fulmix (see my post in his thread) with apktool but haven't succeeded yet.
What are your plans on theming?
Just pull the zips & open using winrar? Thts what I've been doing for around 4yrs now

That's just image editing.
If you want to theme it even further, you need to decompile it and edit .xml's and .smali's.

It gives you this errors because there is classes.dex file on it. Delete it and than decompile.
Dex files are most of them added by phone's company; for us HTC.

Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip delete classes.dex and than decompile with apktool.
Note: you do not have to extract apk to delete classes.dex file.

Make a SystemUI.apk without classes.dex and put that in you ROM and release to all users to test. If it works, I will resign from making ROMs.

Use latest apktool, bad magic value errors fixed in new version.

SystemUI must have classes.dex; there is where all the instructions (the smali files) come from for the apk to work. Like what to run for the EQS and many more.
As mentioned on the link given above
Code:
b) If you are using apkmanager, you can just export classes.dex, then delete classes inside the apk. Then decompile, edit, compile and add classes.dex back when ready.

select anything from there but you wont be able to flash it...... just make modifications upload both files and the download the .zip files and then extract the system.apk and resource file from the zip copy to sdcard and the use any root explorer to xopy both these files to their default location and then set permissions......
make sure to backup both the original files.......
One more thing just copy both the files you have extracted to system folder first then change permissions to rw-r--r-- and the move to app and framework folder respectively......
