[MOD] DefaultThemes For Xperia S ICS - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Default Themes For Xperia S with ICS​
-- A little history --
Well I used to have a Xperia Mini Pro and i knew how to modify a lot of things... right now I'm barely starting to modify my XPS and trust me... its harder .
But I want to share with you this theme that it's JUST a test right now
I'm not an expert on photoshop, so for me it take a lot of time modify the preview images (actually i like to do the things in the complicated way.... and then realize that there is a method much more easy :silly:....)
But well, this is the first and right now the only theme I already done.... if I see that people start to request more well... perhaps dedicate more time on this (actually I'm planning to modify all the themes.... but I need a lot of time for it I think the 70% of the time maybe its to find an image that i like it ), since there is a lot of images I have to modify it really take time (its like 7 images FOR THEME), and I'm a very lazy person :victory:, maybe you say that its easy, well it is, but I like to take care of the details and I check so many times that all its perfect, because I put this on my phone and I like that looks perfect so I think you are gonna appreciate this too :highfive:

So let me show you what I'm talking about:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For me give it a new and a cool look to the phone I dont know what you think :silly:
How to install it???
FIRST of all copy the original themes to a secure place.... if you want to go back to stock one
You need to be a root user
1. Look out what colour scheme are you replacing, choose first another color (if you are going to change pink one, choose Gold theme for example, this for avoiding conflicts)
2. Copy the theme(s) you want to your phone (download it below, they contain the name of the theme, and what wallpaper is in it)
3. Open any file explorer you want (I preffer Root explorer...) and move the modified theme to /vendor/overlay
4. Modify the permissions to the following:
5. Change the name of the modified theme, to the stock one
5. Finally just move the modified theme into /framework, it will say that already its a file with that name, just replace it
6. That's all you need, now just choose your theme and see it working.
7. Give me five!!! :highfive:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see its pretty easy, please leave your comments below so I know what are you thinking, and give me efforts to be less lazy and modify more themes :fingers-crossed:, maybe in the future requests for images you like it are going to be accepted, just first let me finish my own modifications :good:

Nice Waiting for more

This time it's iphone mod inspired slider. Hope You like it. It looks super sexy on phone, no kidding. If You downloaded it, and You like it, than press the "Thanks" button - 1 second, and a big cheer for me.

This mod should work with all stock, and modded sony ericsson frameworks. Tested on .24, and .504 - works like a charm.
NOT TESTED ON X8! (but probably working...) And NOT FOR CM6/7, and all other custom / non-SE based roms, sorry... Only SE FW!
SCREENSHOTS:
Tutorial HOW-TO-INSTALL:
- Open framework-res.apk with 7zip
- Select "res" folder from downloaded archive, and drag him to opened 7zip window
- When prompted "Are sure You want to copy...?" select "YES"
- Close 7zip
- Push framework-res.apk to your phone
Tutorial screenshot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=525089&stc=1&d=1298451316
Please have in mind, that it's the only fast, and safe method. Don't try to update framework-res.apk another way, or You get a bricked phone after pushing file to system folder!
If You aren't sure how to do this please ask. Asking don't cost, and can protect from messing up Your phone!
The safest way to push framework-res.apk to Your phone is using ADB Mask Controller. When You f*ck up Your phone is always a chance to get back with this app. Please be careful, and read everything before You try to install!

BTW
Fixed the .ZIP flash it thru CWM.
Patiently waiting so i can check this out. =D
im fixing the glitch i just found..
still trying to figure out what images i made it wrong..
will be up soon
most of the glitchs are fixed. the only thing i cant seem to fix is the selector tab.
for example when you click "ok" "cancel", the selector tab changes.. the length gets shorter...don't know why.
Its cool man, no worries it dont hurt to wait a bit longer.
Screens look GREAT... might be RE-flashing 1.3.1 just to flash this theme!!!
Nice job dude
I changed my mind

Thought porting a theme and modifying it look much better than creating it on my own.
Not sure yet. I made a thread and taking requests at the moment. I will choose one of em and start porting over.

[SPLASH] Batman and Ghostbusters Splash Screens

I made these for my own enjoyment and thought I'd share them with the crowd!
If you enjoy them, give a thanks! If you don't, keep it to yourself.
Full disclosure, I didn't create any of the elements in these images. I just put various elements together. (But I did type "Who ya gonna call?" all by myself! Didn't even need spell check!)
Batman on Carbon Fiber Background

Ghostbusters
The attached .zip file contains the .IMG files for both the Batman and the Ghostbusters splash screens. The files are named to show which is which. Before you try to flash the file they need to be renamed to "custom.img" (Not custom.img.img. Be careful Windows users!)
All you need to do is rename them are you are ready to go!
If you're a do it yourselfer, both images can be converted to 'custom.img' using the tool from this thread. That's what I used to create the .IMG files in the attached zip folder. So double thanks to TrueBlue_Drew!
Nice! This is going on my phone right now.

I have to admit that I liked the Batman one so much that after a day when I hit the power button the phone said "Seriously? You want to restart me again?"
I added the .IMG files to the first post to make these easier to use. You can still use the conversion tool if you want, but they should be ready to go as is now.
(I didn't realize I could host the files here originally)
Enjoy!
Just finished applying ghost-busters love it, please make more splash screen don't stop now

Hey I'm glad the Ghostbusters look good! I haven't even tried it yet! I'm still so enamored with the Batman one that I have no desire to change it.
I could make some others, but I don't have any ideas on what to do. I like the really professional looking HTC branded splash screens that some other people have made, but 1) I don't have the graphic design capability to make stuff like that and 2) I don't wanna.
I like super nerdy fun looking splash screens like the Ghostbusters and Batman. And those two just made sense for a phone because of "The Batphone" and "Who ya gonna call?"
If you give me another telephone relevant nerdy idea, I'll take a stab.
Big fan of both Batman and Ghostbusters so thanks for this.
Nice thanks alot big Ghostbuster Fan
thanks
These are good thanks!

well a basic theme is made up of 2 kinds of modifications.
1- changes to the images in the framework-res.apk, systemui.apk, and the com.htc.resource.apk
2- changes to .xml files withing those .apk files.
An easy place to start would be getting a program like photoshop, gimp, or paint.net and making changes to the images within those .apk. then seeing the changes on your device by pushing the edited framework back onto your phone.

i added photos above

.xml's are mostly for text colors.
