[THEME] UI resources From Blend now open to BL locked users!

Hey guys,I have posted a rom which is called Blend and here is the link to my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278760
Only BL unlocked users can flash my rom but you may like the UI style of Blend if your BL is still locked.
Therefore,I decided to post the resources from the rom here for anyone who don't want to unlock the bootloader.With these resources you can have a Blend UI for your own rom without unlock your phone's bootloader.
UI resources from Blend:
system/app:
1.MusicWidget.apk
2.widgetdigitalclock.apk
3.widgetonoff.apk
4.datatrafficswitch.apk
5.MediaWidget.apk
6.Home.apk
7.DefaultThemes.apk
system/framework:
1.android.policy.jar
2.framework-res.apk
3.framework.jar
WARNING:
1.You should set the right permissions for those resources when you move them into the system directory!
2.Only 2.3.4 users can use those resources.
3.I'm not responsible if you brick or damage your phone! Just be careful and Good luck!

That was fast!
Thank you!
One thing: I'm using transparent home with 7 home screens. How would the home.apk affect the theme if I use mine instead of yours? Or can you mod yours to incorporate those two mods?

You can just replace my home.apk by yours. It's OK.
Just installed! Works perfect!
Few more questions/request:
I'm guessing I cant add the CRT animation as it would replace the framework-res.apk? How do I change the wallpaper in defaultthemes.apk? And will Track-id widget, call log widget and other SE widgets be themed later? Also, with the Music Widget a separate apk, does this mean I can use other launchers to get the widget or is it somehow attached to SE Home like the previous firmwares? Thanks for all your help!

1.You can open framework-res.apk as .zip format and replace the anim directory to change the animation or you must replace those three apps at the same time.
2.Wallpapers are actually under this dic: system\etc\customization\content\com\sonyericsson\wallpaperpicker\wallpapers
3.Track-id is useless if you have unlocked your phone.
4.You can't use other launchers to run most of the widgets from SE I believe because they are based on SE home and SE framework.However you can have a try.
Thx for your reply.
Jason,
Anyway you could make one for [4.0.A.2.368] because of battery drain issue I had to switch back to that version. I was using your ROM.
can .42fw use this frame?
Hello, i've tried this on .42 with proper permissions and my phone went into bootloop.
From which build are those system files?
An old build, I guess the one before .42
Jason, I know your'e on Miui now, but could you please update this theme to .42?
Would love to use this.

[Q] Change settings menu

Hi,
how can I theme the settings menu?
Change color, change images and group settings like they are grouped in MIUI.
Want to make with Stock ROM this menu: http://www.techcredo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/miui-settings-ui-overhaul.jpg
Instead of this ugly one: http://mydailygadget.mdg.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/settings1-300x500.jpg
What things I have to change or look at?
framework-res.apk...?
Which phone do you have dude??? And yeah if u have rooted then flash a miui rom instead of theming stock.... It's actually impossible to do this to a stock rom but because of the settings. Try the miui if u have rooted.
Hit the Thanks Button if I have helped.
Thx for the reply.
Yeah, MIUI is nice but I wanted to try CM7 and I liked everything but the UI of the settings.
I know it's possible to change the appearance of the settings menu. I found the xml files in the framework-res.apk but when I recompile and use the new file my phone ends up in a bootloop.
Can anyone help?
I have a SG S2.

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?

first up you can edit posts and tittles.
second what are you after if you mean a simple theme then you just have to change the images / layouts. otherwise it has to be hacked into the smali in the framework. (not an easy task)
Pvy.
haha im also using your team rom. is it alright if i change the files from your rom? and what files would i be changing to just change the lockscreen. im currently on the 4.0 rom. would i need to change the files from the 3.8 and 4.0. sorry about my noobishnes im pretty new to this

the apk that you want is mostly located in /system/app
