I would like to transfer the theme from one rom to another. I will be transferring Scott's Developer edition theme from his Cleanrom Developer edition to a stock deodex'd rom. Is there any way to do this? I have little experience with themeing roms but I can follow directions pretty good.
isn't cleanrom pretty much a stock rom?

it can be as simple as pushing the specific apps into your phone but it isnt most of the time...
devs make loads of modifications and such so usually isnt as simple
but id suggest you check out tutorials about themeing and the intro to themeing thread

Thanks, it looks like it is going to be complicated.
call me crazy but I *think* the blue theme from the dev edition is actually a skin defaulted by the ROM, called blu bugaloo or something? see if there's an apk in /system/app for that ROM, put it into the same place for the ROM you want, it should just show up in your skin options, apply it? you could also ask scott, he's a good dev and quite helpful

Yes that theme file is part of it but I dont think it changes everything. I have asked Scott and he has been helping me quite a bit, but I don't want to bug him either . He told me to ask on his forum too but I already had this topic open...

the skin is basically fusion.apk, to get any other themed items from a ROM, you could pull out these and use them in your new ROM:
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/app/Rosie.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/htc.resources.apk
/system/app/dialer.apk (only if the dialer is themed)
/system/app/phone.apk (same ^^^)

This has worked for everything but the GPS icon. The icon is still stock and visible even when disabled. Scott's rom has replaced the GPS icon and made it invisible when GPS was turned off. Any ideas?
you can replace the gps on icon with one that has been made transparent, but without being able to use pc at the moment cant tell you where its at. i think in either systemui or framework-res

that's in systemUI.apk - maybe try pulling it again from where you want and install it to /system/app of your new ROM. It sounds like you're missing it?

I tried copying the systemui from Scott's rom to the stock rom and flashing it, but it doesn't make a difference. I verified that the same images from Scott's rom are in the rom I just flashed, as I can view them with root explorer. It still shows stock though.
The three custom image files for the gps icon in scotts rom are:
stat_sys_gps_acquiring
stat_sys_gps_acquiring1
stat_sys_gps_acquiring2
However, the rom is ignoring these files and instead using:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
sym_gpsone_0_vzw
These three files are the stock white sense crosshair icons.
This is a view of the files from SystemUI.apk res\drawable-hdpi
The three blue icons are the ones I want to use.
That was small, here is a bigger version:

if you have 7zip you can open the apk with the images you want, copy them to your desktop, rename them to the name the new rom uses, then paste or drag them into the new apk (opened with 7zip), by the way, I think/hope you're off one png name, no way is a sprint rom using a vzw png lol
I was wrong, it is only using two files:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
One is GPS active and one is GPS off.
I dont think renaming it is the issue. I have tried copying the entire systemUI.apk folder from Scott's rom over to the stock rom, and it still does the same thing. The default icons are also present in Scott's rom, just not used.
My next question is, what file (XML file?) references these files?

-trust me, pull the 3 images you want out of his sysUI using 7zip
-rename from stat_blah_acquire_0
to sym_sprint_gps_blah_0
-repeat steps for other pngs
-open up new rom sysui with 7zip
-paste in renamed pngs
-push modded apk to phone or flash it

Is it possible if i copy framework-res.apk from stock rom with root explorer????
Sorry，I don't have one.
I'm not a developer so i can't tell you if its possible with copying framework-res.apk
Using a 2.1 framework-res.apk would cause all kinds of problems, including stopping your phone from working.
It is theoretically possible to take the old SE lockscreen from stock 2.1 and put it onto this rom. Essentially you need to take the various smali, xml and png files that define it from the old rom and use them to overwrite the sliding tab files in the new rom.
If you just want the look, you may be better off theming the sliding tab lockscreen with the images from the original.

What if I copy framework-res.apk from sony style v1.1 ROM (2.3.7).... would it also cause any problem??
Sorry I am a noob
Well, you can try but there's a good chance it might not work.
Framework-res.apk contains a whole mess of files that define how your phone's interface works. It controls the layout of various elements and does all kinds of things.
Both rom's use GB and CM7 so that's promising, but you could have a few display issues.
In fact, now that I think about it, you're also going to need the services.jar as well as that's where the lockscreen smali file is kept.
Certainly, give it a try but just be prepared for it to go wrong. Make sure you backup first!
Or, why not try just using SonyStyle instead?

Hello.
Stocked SGS3, correctly rooted with CF-Root-SGS3-6.2, stock FW.
How to increase 4x4 GRID size on Main Screens / Widgets?
With such a resolution it has to be possible. Need it a lot...
I have all the tools ready (Root Explorer, CWM(M) and stuff),
don't mind directly editing Linux configuration files (but do not know
how to put them back to Kernel and which ones to touch ).
Want to stay on stock ROM as much as possible (I mean not prefer to flash complete new custom ROM so far).
Huge thanks.
There's a thread in the apps section with a load of .apk's for the launcher with different formats.

Try Nova Launcher or Apex. Both are fantastic and would do the job and more.

Big thanks. Seems to be exactly what I need.
However: is it OK to do it on stock ODEX'ed ROM?
Because that thread refers to the APK file to be replaced,
but I also see .odex next to it with the same name.
So it is safe just to replace .apk but not replacing .odex?
Thanks a lot.

You need either an odexed version and replace both the apk and the odex, or change to a deodexed rom I believe.

In the thread referenced above I only see *.apk files.
Also inside those *.apk (I see it is archive actually) I see "classes.dex"
file inside, while in original stock *.apk I do not see it inside but I see
.odex file outside of the .apk. So can it be that it is Ok to replace
since classes.dex is "built-in" the apk?
No, you would need a TWLauncher.apk (or whatever the name is) and a TWLauncher.odex file, most modified files are deodexed and only suitable for deodexed ROMs.
All credit goes to nygfan760 for his Slick Rom that included these apps. I wanted to stick with The Base, but couldn't resist Emoji and Screen-off playback for YouTube so I pulled these .apks.
Just flash the zip in CWM after making a nandroid
LGBrowser, LGMms3, and YouTube will be replaced.
This works on my phone (Base .7.3)
Works on Stock Odexed ROM (thanks BloodBaron)

To install Holo-Themed version of mms, flash the attached zip. Warning though, it is apparently an older and less featured version of MMS.

Not sure how to go about this for an odexed system.
To install in a terminal:
$su
$mount -o remount,rw /system
$mv /system/app/[APP] /system/app/[APP].bak
$cp /mnt/sdcard/[AOSP APP] /system/app/
Then reboot. :good:

Stock mms is actually LGMms3.apk.
And I've HEARD (can't confirm myself) that you can install them on an odexed ROM and just delete the xx.odex file that corresponds with the .apk from /system/app. So to install the browser just delete browser.odex from /system/app (assuming it is just called browser.apk).
You then reboot.
And may have to clear both caches.
Sorry for the noob question, but I've never installed anything via terminal. Can't you just install these apk's the way you'd install any other sideloaded apk? Do you have to use the terminal?

No thats just how I did, do it however you feel comfortable with. Personally I've never done the sideload method.
EDIT: Yeah I just googled what sideload means lol, no I wasnt able to install these with the package installer, as they were system apps. Maybe I'll make an update.zip when I get home from work.

After reading on those threads, I see how to install them with Root Explorer rather than the terminal method. Whew, I'd rather deal with a GUI then something where one typo can leave you scratching your head or worse.

Lol I suppose you're right, the terminal way isnt very intuitive.
I've been using the AOSP SMS app from Slick ROM for a couple days now. One thing that I miss from stock is that it doesn't wake the screen when a text is received and it doesn't popup to reply.

The zip I just uploaded deletes xx.odex as well so I suspect it will work, but hard to know.

Install is failing for me on the holomms.apk.
Edit: even though I am getting install failed, it seemed to install anyway. I notice this is a much older version of MMS. The holo version lacks the "original timestamp" feature which I use considerably due to being in a lot of service dead spots during my day. Any chance on the original plan of theming the first apk? No biggie either way
My phone rubs Rootboz rom which is 4.2.1 aokp, and I'd likr to take an apk from a stock Android rom (musicplayer.apk), and run on my phone, I have already tried putting it in system/app and I've changed it's permissions correctly and managed to install it but it FC everytime, Isthere any way to convert this specific app so it could fit my phone?
Appreciate any help.
Your not taking an app from stock android ROM or aosp, you're trying to install a Samsung app on a custom ROM I doubt this will ever work, just try a music player from the market there are loads of ones just as good cough power amp cough
