hello
im new in android world and specialy xperia arc
i know how to install roms and other stuff and i have so many problems with my phone and i solved them like battery 0% and ...
i have a question about how can i make my own theme , i wanna customize everything status bar buttons icons and ... i don wanna use go luncher and sth like that.
i wanna do everything from zero to hero
please let me know what should i do and if there is a link can u refer me to it please thanks a lot. and god bless you
i wanna create a theme to make my arc looks like xperia x8 , u know i love the corner buttons of x8
thanks again
theme is base on
- system/framework/framework-res.apk
- system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
- system/app/SystemUI.apk
- system/app/Home.apk
basic , You can change all *.png to your style , open & extract apk using winRAR and replace old file using winRAR again.
- save change edited apk
- copy new edited apk to internal memory (/xxx /yyy /root) , change file permission (rw-r--r--) , move file to overwrite old apk target
-always change files permission! before paste & overwrite!! (if not , bootloop!!)
- about Home.apk is Xperia main launcher , before you overwrite apk you must change default launcher to 3rd party launcher (if not , may be bootloop!!)
EDIT:
Delete please, other guy was faster

Is it possible to change the black fields on my sreenshot? I want them to be at least lighter - example - light grey... I used UOT Kitchen to make my own theme but this can not be changed with it... So, does anybody know what files to change to change that black fields?
Thanks in advance...

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
@marcus
Thanks mahn... Uh explained them rightly... (Y)
I don't like ninja morph!
What I do is rename the apk to .zip and make changes inside the zip with powergrasp. And when done rename it again

That is easier if you have a lot of mods to do
Ninjamorph was created to change a single file quickly on the fly - its not designed for multiple file replacements

Yeah agree wid marcuss .....
Ninja morph is for fast , reliable access for one file....
Its great app for newbies just editing their background... Icons etc..

Not reliable for me! Once I edited an apk but still no change

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use
You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad

is this a debate thread?
ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator
i use both.
i dont like extract and rezip for some reasons
Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !
op you were not the first here. it is already introduced to us. with tutorial on how to use the ninjamorph and the dos and dont. with screenshot and examples of finished products too. try to search the forum before posting

You need to decompile framework-res.apk, remove tw_backround_holo_dark.xml from res/drawables and add a png image with the appropriate size into drawable-nodpi and (to be sure) even into the other folders which contain drawables. Rename it like the file you removed, but like .png, not xml. Then you must rebuild and so on.
You need apktool and some basic skill. Look for a tutorial, it is easy.
Decompile framework-res.apk
Then open res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark.xml
change like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:drawable="@drawable/tw_background_holo_dark" />
</shape>
and copy your background (tw_background_holo_dark.png) to drawable-xhdpi folder
compile and have fun.
To be true, both ways do work, though the second one is surely cleaner. My way simply recreates the situation before kit Kat, when there was no XML with its hard coded solid color.
Obviously keeping the XML is better for example when you want to set a transparent background and, in that case, you also need to edit a boolean in styles.
This way should work too
Decompile framework-res
delete res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark.xml
and replace desired png file and name it tw_background_holo_dark.png to same place.
compile
done.

The matter with adding your apps in settings is not as easy as replacing the background. Here is an example, but I think you can find much more http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/guide-how-to-port-mokee-listview-t2808288
Regarding the fact the modified background does not show in contacts and dialer, I am running transparent contacts (not modded by me) on my note 2, and the background (this one edited by me) is correctly shown. To be true, my background is transparent too, but it worked the same with a modified background image. I am not a themer, but I can suggest you should modify the Holo dark background too, to be sure your contacts and dialer don't use it.
Coming to the ram used by secsettings, though your note 3 can surely bear it effortlessly, it could be related to the way apktool rebuilt the apk: zip aligning?
I am fairly a noob in these matters... Sorry.

So, if it does not compile, then you mustn't have very likely edited the xml in the right way.
The code to add should be the following
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Your app" android:key="your app" android:fragment="name of the package" />
I suppose, before decompiling, you used
apktool if
both for framework-res.apk and for the tw framework (it maybe important and could cause the issues in compiling).
If everything is right and still it does not compile, please share the log and I am sure that someone more skilled than me will be able to help you.
Regarding the background image, touchwiz uses (as you know) tw_background_holo_dark.xml (or png) but the framewoks still contains background_holo_dark.png, i.e. the standard android background.... Since I am not a themer, I don't know if your dialer needs both backgrounds to be replaced.. Just for me, since it is quite fast, I usually replace both files.
Coming to the ram in settings, I think I don't get what you are asking for, sorry
