Lately I've got a lot of questions of how to theme, or requests for simple changes that I can easily be done on your device. Would you guys be interested in a walk thru of some basic on-device theming?

Yeah that sounds great. A guide on some tweaks we could do like mixing themes or adjusting themes to fit different roms would be really helpful.

I know how to theme systemui, I've done it and used my own themes on beans, cleanrom, and eclipse, but I can't figure out lidroid-res.apk.
I decompiled it, edited the icons, recompiled, put it on the phone, and systemui crashed, so I would love something that covers that.
When I get the urge I'll look at framework-res.
I even themed my Gmail, but it wouldn't send/receive, I'm assuming that was a signature problem.
Yessss i would really are appreciate that

I mainly need to figure out how to change text color. I've been reading up and I'm having a hard time finding how to resign on windows 7. I have always used UOT kitchen on Froyo and Gingerbread for the text, and I ran AOKP with a theme from the market that I used for the colored text.
After you directed me towards that guide a few weeks back, I still haven't had a chance to try it. Been too busy with moving/wedding/work to find time. You really seem to know what you are doing so it would be great to have a basic guide from you. Anything to be able to start understanding all of it would be appreciated.

This would be useful. Did some minor changes on my Droid X (status bar icons, boot animation/splash screen, boot and power down audio changes) but would like some more advanced knowledge, touchwiz specific knowledge etc.

Yes, I am very interested as well. But to be honest, I know absolutely nothing about theming
Not really as hard as it looks. Mainly just finding the icons and changing them. Text color is all xml based and its a lot of trial and error.
I look forward to learning how to do things as it will help me learn more about the internals of my phone I am a newbie but I do catch on to things quickly though.

It's just extremely pretty, I love stock as well, but Sense is the best UI yet, Blur looks like a cluster of ugly and Touchwiz is just a little too "iPhone rip off"
I think I got it, I just rooted my device again and got metamorph so now I go to download one and I put it in my phone internal sd card and load? Seems simple enough.

Depends on the people. I wanted it back in the G1 days because it was something new and fresh, but after a couple of months, I used a different theme. Touchwiz is something new for me. It's similar to iOS, but not totally, and there is a reason which I'm sure everyone agree on why TouchWiz is like iOS.
Anyways, following the metamorph topic is the best way right now. You could also just learn on how theming works for android and do it yourself. There is a guide somewhere, I think it's in the G1 section, but don't quote me on that.
Cool so far I got one but it won't load it just stays on applying the res-framework thing...

So now that I have finally warmed my cold feet with flashing the daylights out of my phone, I have been dabbling in different combinations of roms and mods to give myself, what I feel, is the closest thing that I will have to a truly unique experience for myself...
Currently, I am running the ICS alpha 2 from DaGr8, along with the 14 toggle ics themed mod and everything is freaking awesome for now...
But I wantz more! Yes I know, I am greedy, especially when I could or should attempt at doing this stuff on my own, but I just dont have te discipline nor dedication to do it.
Now to the point, I promise...
If someone could whip up a zip, flashable in cwm, that includes the ics 14 toggle mod, with a CRT animation and say, the stock ICS wallpapers and LWP's, and bootanimation, I would probably poop myself with joy.
Il'll just keep my fingers crossed for now...

I hear you. I'm actually on the 15 toggle mod. Not sure if its the same or different but it is sick nonetheless. And blue status bar icons....very nice. CRT anim and ability to change boot anim would be epic at this point.

To respond to your request, I know some people are working on getting the crt and boot animations working on ics, I've seen it mentioned a few times in different threads that there are some issues that prevent it from being accomplished.
For the ics wallpapers you can find them all over and you just have to download them and drop it on your SD card.
I assure you people are working on it though and if someone figures it out you will see it posted in this forum.

I don't understand what you mean by wow you? What exactly wows you? What tweaks do you want aside from being able to change the way the screen completely looks indefinitely?
I think the newness of devices gives it the wow factor more than anything. I'm pretty sure that if you went to another phone, you'd be looking for wow factor again.
For me, I really enjoy being able to control my laptop from my note while the laptop is hooked up to a projector and doing class presentations for my students. That usually gets a "wow. That's really cool you can do that"

Yet Scott just released a zip that will allow us to flash t mobile, and att roms. Give me a moment, and I will find the thread, and post it here. If you want to see a dead phone, go look at the rezound. The phone is barely a year and a half old, and it is marching into obscurity. The droid incredible has more action. These threads aren't going to produce more roms, just bad attitudes. Try playing with all of the mods we have, and theme it to whatever you want it to be. Morphology, Xposed, and a slew of others. Troll the other carriers threads, and pull mods that you want. That is all we can ask for, unless you are paying the devs a paycheck.

Which have you tried? Both Jedi and Jelly Beans are both great. I am using the mod in my sig right now as I like that it keeps the samsung allshare features working.
With a combination of Jelly Beans, Widget Locker, and a theme you could pretty much get anything done you want. Pick up the odd app or mod here and there to fill in the gaps.
By the way, if you want to give 4.1.2 a go Jedi is running that. It is great if you don't need the Samsung services.

I think this has been my main take away from discussions, and browsing the other forums. Quantity in this case definitely does not equal quality. I don't see the point in having 10 options if only 2 or 3 are viable. However, that is just my opinion.
Most source built ROMs (AOSP) are going to have issues, whether major or minor, and are much easier to customize as you're dealing with XML and java. However, the lack of TW features keep people away from them.
With TouchWiz ROMs, you don't lose any functionality, but there is only so much that smali hacking can do. Most of this is just the time consuming nature of trying to hack a ROM via smali only. You could get everything in your favorite source built ROM if you wanted to take the time to do so. But, given that this is a for-fun thing and not a money making venture, developers aren't likely to take that amount of time if they wouldn't use it themselves.

I would definitely prefer a few quality roms with great support than 27 versions of cyanogenmod that are 98% the same. Beans, MeanBean, Tweaked, Jedi, Elemental...that should be plenty to keep the crack flashers happy.

What is a rom really? To me It's just a better version of what the manufacturer builds. The stuff is basically the same for the most part with the addition of tweaks for better battery performance etc... That are added by the dev. The thing that makes a rom different are the things like themes and different looking batteries etc..., so why have 100 roms that essentially are the same? I would prefer to have 1 rom that performs well with a bunch of themes and mods hence i only use meanbean and love the real icon theme, or morphology. Mean bean is a great rom and with pbj kernel even better.

stock android firmware has evolved into something so much better than it use to be...im still on beans build 2 because it flatout works and has all the things I need. Its hard to develop when stock touchwiz is so good out of the box. the only real thing that touchwiz needs is themeing. beans takes the cake on that. aosp was nice on my gs1 because it trimmed the fat and made the ol single core with limited ram run smooth. these quad core beasts are designed to handle bloat and a festure rich skins(touchwiz), so aosp does not have the appeal and performance advantage it use to. however for the folks that
keep this device well past tthe point verizon quits supporting it, then aosp will shine...simply for the fact it will bring the latest android offerings and keep the note 2 alive.
I think it had A LOT to do with TW and Spen/Note 2 specific features. Nobody really wants to lose them, and there's only so many ways to mess with TW. There's plenty of AOSP/KP stuff but look at the involvement compared to TW roms... It's there, but not as much... My take on it anyway.

I installed the blacked out apps from Hyperdrive hub on RSL7. He may have stopped development on the blacked out Sammy apps, But they all work. At least for me. Contacts. Dialer. Email. Splanner. Calc. Then I went to get nitroglycerin33 inverted gapps and installed those. I'm right as rain. Got my dark look fix.
Also messaging.

I am MDK. This is what im on...
This is where you can come to get your stock S4 apps blacked out! The white background for MMS, contacts, calculator, etc are so bright, and annoying! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has a Super AMOLED display, which consumes a ton of power while using apps with white backgrounds. This is why i have done what i have. If you text a lot, this can help save some battery life, as black pixels take 0 power to display. This will now flash everything in one go (MMS, Contacts, Phone, and Calculator).
This should work on any deodex build (no word on the ME7 deodex yet). The main version is Verizon/Sprint and there's a separate T-Mobile version. I haven't had any reports about AT&T

Q: Can i get just (insert app here) separate if i don't want the others blacked out?
A: To keep this clean, i won't make separate flashes for each zip. Open it on your computer and delete what ones you don't want.
Since some people seem to not read my post one page back, I'll restate things here. THIS IS DISCONTINUED. The reason being I don't have time to do multiple versions for multiple carriers. You can all thank the ota for causing this.

I absolutely love this black it all out work by PRSTEREROS. I really wish he could keep up the work. I like the little droid heads as contacts, i like that the A thru Z column in contacts is black now, and I also like the fact things are BLACK. I was just hoping for a fix with email and a few other bugs ive noticed..

I was actually considering that, but I am a TW freak. Anything AOSP can fizzle away.. TW was one of the main turn to's when deciding if I wanted iPhone 5 or S4. Thanks anyways though. I really hope SBreen pulls through with his new RLS update coming soon

I have a TW build and a GE build. It just has several AOSP components in my TW build.
Instead of roms or mods, is there somewhere on the internet that will teach me android coding for the s4? I would rather play around with files myself to change colors. I just have no clue where to start.

Throwing it out there but my new thread will be going up shortly. Planning including custom themed and blacked system apps, mods, various flashables, etc. Everything's aosp though at this point. Right now have close to 400 lock rings, glowdots, search lights, full lock screen widget mods, halo mods, and just about anything u can think of in regards to framework and systemui mods (hdpi,xhdpi as well as xxhdpi of course)
Also including my flashable full blackout, holo, and custom themed mods. Banners, boots, and graphics will also be included as requests come in.
Whole aspect of what Im wanting to do is having the thread head to toe custom stuff. My work is far from ordinary or topical. No batch editing and not one request, mod, or themed app is the same & absolutely love it making heads turn. Lol
Soon as I have everything caught up and organized I will get the thread Rollin. I will keep my eye open at that point to see if anyone has taken over/continuing your work.
