I'm no themer, but I believe the reason the lock screens are not ever themed is because that app can't control the framework elements in its current state. The themed parts are in systemui.apk.
Github.com/cyanogenmod
That will list the cyanogenmod repo. Check out the two themes built with cyanogenmod. You will get a feel as to what's going on.

oh thanks lithid!!!
umm...to make my own theme I'll need my own namespace too right? (com.tmobile.mytheme) how do i get to do that?
just edit it in Androidmanifest.xml?

just decompiled some themes and noticed res/xml/Android.xml provides redirections to framework-res. which means the lockscreen pngs at least can be themed.
the "behaviour" of lockscreen however cannot be themed as you said.

Ok do it as i did.. MAKE SURE DEVICE IS ROOTED..
1 .install any launcher from playstore..
2. delete this apks from system/app (Home.apk, DefaultThemes.apk, HomeAdds.apk, HomePreference.apk, WeatherWidget.apk)( using rootexlporer) tap r/w in system/app and you can copy and keep backup of your original apks somewhere in sd card.. and you can push it same way if you want it back
2. copy downloaded apks..
3. paste it in sytem/app (and make sure not filling rom memory less then 40 mb or 50mb, just to keep some space:silly:, see top for memory info).
4. change permissions to (of those apks which pasted.. see thumbnail for changing permissions )
finally Reboot.. there you are.. enjoy...now you can Uninstall the launcher which you have downloaded from playstore
May be you know how to push apps to system using RootExplorer..
just little info who are new and for those who are struggling to install this apps...
And sorry My English is not so good..

I think u don't have to edit anything in a app to make it work on other devices. Normally they work on every device

If you want to try using a system app, then place your apk in /system/app and set permissions - chmod 0644. The permissions look somewhat like this -

This can be done using any file manager. I recommand using Root Browser by Jrummy.

Theoretically, the Application Programming Interface ( API ) of Jelly Bean is higher than that of ICS. Hence some features of the Jelly Bean apk may not work on ICS, or the apk may not even work. It depends on what you are trying to port. Some Xperia Z apps have already been ported for ICS, but other phone brand apks are very difficult to port.

Now you have helped me so you mean that if I manage maybe to mess. With the API then I can manage to port it to ics?

You cannot mess with the API level. Although it can be changed in androidmanifest.xml, many features of the app won't work. Still, you can try using APK2JAVA or APKTOOL to decompile and check the apk that you need to port. If you don't know java, then it would be difficult.

Yeah I know java but what's the difference between Dex2jar and APK2JAVA?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
Re: [Q]how to port android apps
Apk2java allows you to decompile the apk into an eclipse project. I don't think that dex2jar can do that. Both allow you to edit the source of the apk. I have tried using Apk2Java and decompiled an apk into an eclipse project, but when I imported it there were around 50 errors
Never tried using dex2jar.
