Here is a Zip Themer mod that will blacken out almost all (not all) of your menu listings on the rom. This is not a flashable zip by itself, you have to run through Zip Themer and then install the update.zip that it produces in CWM, make sure you tell Zip Themer to make an undo zip at the end, if you do not, your stuck with it. If you dont like it just run the undo zip in CWM, enjoy!

Okay, so I know this is a serious noobie question but I haven't been able to find the answer. I'm trying to install a theme. I'm running the Axura 2.2.9.0 ROM on my Vibrant.
Depends on how the theme has been packaged:
- If it's CWM flashable, then you put the zip on your sd card, boot into Clockwork, then flash it like you do anything else.
- If it's a morph, then you use an app called MetaMorph from the market. There's threads on here on how to use it.
The creator of the theme will tell you which way it is to be applied. Most are going to be CWM flashable, since it's the more user-friendly method.
I believe that the axura themes are flashable and they just get put on the sdcard and flashed over like the roms.
-download the theme you want
-move it from your download file to your INTERNAL sd card, thats the one that has like 12g of memory in it
-reboot into recovery, (not sure how axura works but if you dont have a recovery option after holding down the power button then hold down the volume up, down and the power keys at the same time, wait for the "vibrant" to flash at you then let go)
-select the option install zip from sd card
-select choose zip from sd card
-select the zip file you just downloaded
-scroll down to yes-install zip
-after it is done installing go to the last option - "[back]"
-select reboot system
-enjoy your new theme
this is all assuming you have clockwork recovery (the red recovery screen)
questions lemme know

i think it´s th ewrong section you chose this should go into the themes and apps section
recently, i ported a cm7 rom. I forgot to included some stuff and I just want to make a update.zip to flash these folders to the system.
The folders are the app, media, and fonts. I also want to flash build.prop. I want to make the update.zip because I dont want to flash the whole rom over again. How do a make the updater script to do so
Check this. If you wish, you can do this manually, only search here for "flashable recovery zip" or "flashable cwm zip", there are several guides.
This is not for noobs or any jackasses who only read others.
As you all know,installing a custom ROM requires data like md5,recovery image and similar extensioned files.They are all packed in a zip package.But not just any zip package.After you generated the other files,zip it normally and flash it,it won't work.You know that the famous update.zips are always signed zips?We'll show you how to do this properly and easy.
First,you must have files like we said above.We don't care where do you get those files.Then,download "ES File Explorer" from Play Store.Hold and select those files after you got into the app.(You also need to know where those files are.For example Download or Android)Click the three dots icon under the screen and choose "Compress".Name the zip file and let it compress.After it is finished,choose"Add"and choose File.Name it update.zip.After that,download another app from Play Store called "Zip Signer".Open it,select the input file is the zip which isn't update.zip.Then select update.zip as output file,choose "Sign" or whatever.Wait until it's finished.Then boot into recovery mode.If you use TWRP,go to Install>choose update.zip and flash.If you don't have any custom recovery,first wipe cache partition>install zip from sdcard and go until you find update.zip.Install it and reboot your phone!Done!
Quick scenario: I am working on a Nook Simple Touch UK ROM zip (now obsolete), trying to get from it the essentials that make it "UK" and move them into/replace similar files (mostly images and documents, but maybe one or two system apps) to the current US version of the ROM so that everything will function properly, but the ROM will have the look and feel (and localization options) of the obsolete UK ROM. There's not a lot to change.
The zips don't open for inspection properly in anything I've tried except 7zip. I can move/overwrite files from one ROM to the other, but there does seem to be a slight compression going on and I have no idea how to stop this. In WinRAR I could, but I don't see any similar option in 7zip. Then the zip contents go into a CWM flashable zip.
Preparing the CWM zip with no changes to the current US ROM gives an error-free flash and a functioning result. But if I change even one file (like the boot splash screen--same name, same file size--until moved), the flash fails almost immediately.
I asked someone about internal checksums before ROMs would install but they did not think there were any on these ROMs. Now I wonder. I don't see anything that looks like a checksum or even a "to do" list.
Have I missed some fundamental step or am I using my tools incorrectly (or the wrong tools)? One last thought, these are "update" zips, if that makes any difference, so on their own they would not wipe user data,for example.
Edit: I think I've got it!
1. Unzip (not just "open") both zips with WinRAR (7zip would not extract the update zips for me)
2. Drag alternate versions of files from one folder to the other
3. Zip up with 7zip
4. Open CWM update zip (just has META-INF folder) and ROM update zip with 7zip
5. Drag contents of ROM update zip to CWM zip.
6. Copy new CWM zip to CWM card and flash.
7. SMILE!
