You would have to swap the images in the apks you want to theme with the Touchwiz themed images then put the themed apks into your ROMs system/app folder. The main apks that control most of a ROMs theme are SystemUI.apk framework-res.apk and settings.apk. Let me know if you still have questions .

and just install update.zip or any some thing??????
Install update.zip. That s about it. But do make a backup of your framework folder first. Or better yet, the complete ROM from CWM.

I've got a question too.
Does the Samsung SG II Lockscreen require Stock SMS App or does it also work with a 3rd Party app like Go SMS (I mean that the missed messages will be displayed) ?

Should I only apply kyrillos theme v7? Without any other thing? Can you give me pls the link for it?
if you want the kyrillos framework and you want 9 lockscreen mod you have to pick a theme with 9 lockscreenmod (maybe use the one from dhirend as a base if you may) and then copy all the png's from the res folder in kyrillos theme to the res folder from the theme of dhirend just overwrite them you can just use winrar to get the res folders in and out
btw the twframework isnt changed.. you only have 2 do this with the framework-res.apk

【GUIDE】 UOT online kitchen: long story short | your custom theme made in 10 minutes

【GUIDE】 UOT online kitchen: long story short | your custom theme made in 10 minutes
to build custom theme:
in http://uot.dakra.lt/ goto "File upload" menu
upload below settings.uot file (unzip it), if desired (preset for SGY)
for SGY, you must upload 3 files (use e.g. MyPhoneExplorer to transfer):
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
remember, SGY is a touchWiz phone.
then choose your options,
download your own settings.uot file for later rework (last chance),
in tab summary: "submit your work to kitchen",
wait 3 minutes and download in "pick up page" your UOT***.zip file to flash with CWM.
tested for SGY :flawless, Feb. 2012 (well ... almost. could not get new screensaver/lockscreen operational. any hint ? )
does this works on stock rom?
Yes it does. Simply upload the files.
Tried and couldn't get transparent status bar to work. I tried it on stock rom. Will it work with custom rom?

Yup..only works with deodexed ROMS only.Because the SystemUI.apk of the stock ROM does not have a smali folder.
Thanks. Guess I have to go back to custom rom.
Tried on hybrid rom and still not working. ):

Transparency isnt supported. Non-Touchwiz Gingerbread devices only.
Well I saw a screenshot with it. It's in the SGY screenshots thread. :/

Its Not True,Only Need TwFramework if u have rom with Touch wiz Launcher.
Im Made Black Status Bar With Cyan icons In DXKJ3 Rom.
Im made The Black Status bar with Cyan icons Again in Creeds 2.5 Without Put TwFramework.
Its Simple To made. Upload SystemUi And Framework of your rom,Edit in Uot,download and flash in cwm.

Dude..we r talking about the transparency.I thought Silvane was unable to change the effect of status bar because of stock SystemUI that has no smali files.The transparent is dependent with our rom.The dude at "Show your Screen" thread is using creed rom and i guess only creed and bazzrom can support tht.Sorry for the inconvenient Silvane.
Hmm okay I'll try Creed's again later. Good thing I haven't restored all my apps yet. XD

[Help]Theme a custom ROM to look like 4.0

Hello developers!
1st of all thanks a lot for making ROMs too simple to customize them as per our requirements. I am after a problem. I am working on a custom ROM with prior permission of it's developer to make necessary changes to his work.
I am having the ICS.apk which turns default rom to ICS look through theme chooser. I am also having the ICS look ADW theme. What I actually want to know is, how to make these themes as default while making ROM. Means I don't want to make users take the efforts to choose them through themechooser. I looked many ROMs having ICS as default theme but not getting how they did that actually. I know that the default theme is everything like system.apk,etc. But still changing ICS through theme chooser makes everything look like ICS. So I need that procedure. Also same for ADW launcher or if ThouchWhiz is available.
I hope you guys got my point. Waiting to here from you!
Regards,
Adwait
As far as I know, the apk's in system/app/*.apk are one of the things that are replaced when making a custom ROM. I've a stock ROM but certain elements like the status bar and settings page are from custom ROM. Try doing that. There's also a guide on how to make a custom ROM somewhere around here. Use the search tool
Just decompile each apk and replace the png's.
Some apps like systemui and framework will also require some code editing to change the font color and other things.

How to make it to look like the ROM as this?
Yes, the default system theme is built into the theme manager app located in system>app>theme manager open the apk using winrar and edit the pngs, this method will work on only.cyanogenmod 7 Rom.

[Q] how to change default app icon ?

Is there any way for me to create a flashable zip perhaps, or anything which will change the default icons ?
I have the stock GB icons and i want the Faenza icons but i use the xperia s launcher, which does not support themes.
Which rom are you using now?(It may be lot more easy to answer if you let me know )
If you use CM7 or CM9 you can change icons through theme chooser-
In this case what you need to do is just build up APK that includes your icon pack.
For MIUI it's much easier to changes icons. Search for MIUI theme building on MIUI theme forums or here on XDA MIUI threads.
If you're using neither of above ROMs(like GingerBlur...based on Blur ROMs) it'd be bit more difficult-
There's two types of ROMs
-Deodexed ROMs are easy to change icons through CMW flash
-Odexed ROMs are hard to do it. You've got to deodex it beforehand
Some ROMs like Nottachtrix supports some themes so if you work on theme you should be able to do what you want.

How to replace Touchwiz icons?

Hi , I think stock icons of touchwiz launcher are very ugly, is there a method to replace them? Something like apply a theme. I have demolition v10 stock root deodex xell5.
Thanks

there are many alternatives to change the stock icons
1. DO IT YOURSELF
decompile APK's and literally change lot of img inside
2. INSTALL A LAUNCHER
launchers like NovaLauncher, ADW, GoLauncher, etc support themes that are meant for their launcher
3. FLASH A ROM THAT SUPPORTS THEMES
ROMs that are AOKP/CyanogenMod based/AOSP/MIUI have lots of themes
if you are the android fanatic type, i suggest AOSP/AOKP/CM
if you think apple's icons look rather dashing, then i suggest grab MIUI
cheers!

Thanks for reply,
Maybe I forgot to say that I prefer stay in stock deodexed rom with original touchwiz home launcher. So I think the only way is decompile apk... is apktool good for this?
