Okay I've been browsing threads for a while and I'm still so completely confused.
I rooted my first device ever, Nexus 4 and installed a custom kernel.
So I'm trying to figure out how to theme my phone while remaining on stock ROM...Why? Well I like the stock ROM and don't see a reason to switch really. Everything runs smoothly...
I've discovered some apps:
1. Metamorph
2. ZipThemer
3. Xposed framework with xtheme engine
So I tried out xthemes but I've found that the themes I like do not theme the dialer or system colours or just leave bits and pieces unthemed.
For example when using Simplex theme nearly everything is themed but not the blue accents for my contacts headings and dailer like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's really bothersome to me who wants a very streamlined experience.
I want my numbers and all that blue to appear white or whatever colour.
Onto Zipthemer...so this should work so can I make those changes but I have no idea how. I don't know how to even find themes for this or what zips work. Can I flash a cm theme? Can I pick any morph file? I'm confused and what actually works. I know the how to thread said you can use any zips or morphs but can you?
Metamorph...again I don't know how to make those changes. I've searched xda but I'm still unsure on what to do. Are morphs mostly for ui elements rather than whole themes? Can I use morphs alongside xthemes or do they override. My xtheme isn't theming the elements o want themed so I can't imagine that being a problem.
Can the changes I require be only done on deodexed ROM? Does zipthemer or metamorph work on odexed? I know custom Roms are normally deodexed hence built in theming...
Is all this too much trouble and should I just install a custom ROM?

hey I am making a rom for the D2 and it is a still in super early alpha stage and I was wondering if I could use your settings.apk file because I really like the way the icons look with the settings. If I can use the apk I'll mention you in the credits.
This is a Gumby theme made by request for foxdaddy67. I used my GingerBreadDread as a base and made a lot of changes. Drop down notification bar is transparent. Wallpaper shown in screen shots is included in the theme (its the default wallpaper and you can find it by hitting menu and selecting wallpapers - its been added to HTC wallpapers). Lots has been themed green including the calculator, spinner, ect. Includes a boot animation (its not related to Gumby but its green lol).
Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.
Instructions:
Make a nandroid just in case. Use CWM 2.5 or 3.x to flash (uses edify scripting). Busybox must be installed to flash. Flash over a sense ROM (not Sprint stock, use preludedrew's or nfinite's version) or use my theme eraser. Flashing ROM then theme without booting first will result in boot loop. Flash ROM boot phone then flash theme.

As the OP states, you can't flash this over stock sprint ROM, has to be a modified version like preludedrew's or infinite's.

Hello Everyone,
So I have been working on videos on using different widget apps, backgrounds, and themes and thought I would share them all in a thread for you. I have a similar thread in the Xoom forum, but thought I would share with other devices. All of this was done on a Xoom but this easily works on any Honeycomb Device with the exception to my last step 5 which has to do with theming,(this is device specific), but if the maker of a theme executed correctly, you can follow the same steps to install the theme. I go through various tools but they do follow an order from start to finish. This is not an exact perfect way to use each of these widgets I am talking about, but its a way that worked for me. I hope you enjoy and find this useful.
Big shoutouts to everyone. I give credits in my video, sorry if I miss you here. Submicron, BigDogRush, BigDX, Ghoticov, XDA Community in General (You guys rock!!!)
Please note that towards the end I switched colors to Blue instead of the Orange theme I have in the beginning.

Hey Looks good,
Have you tested the Honeycomb interface modifications (flash able ones) with the Samsung 10.1v? Do they work without issues?
Cheers,
Adrian

Looks you can fairly easily port over other themes to what ever ROM your running, or mix and match themes

Want to have the AOSP experience without compromise? Then this is for you! Please do not take this the wrong way, sportstar and company have done the impossible in this forum, but unfortunately, we have limited functionality with some things like data for example. Anyway, this is to my personal taste and I just wanted to share
1. Speed Rom 7
In my opinion and experience, the best performing senseless Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623184
2. Craigtut's AOSP Status Bar
Original, pure Google.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623184
3. Jellybean Transition Animations
Jellybeans animtions are plain awesome.
(link here)
4. Awesome Beats mod
The cherry on top it's awesome and for some reason, works with Speed Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728391
5. Nova Launcher
Provides lots of jellybean features for ics.
(link here)
Finally, what I do, get a cm9 rom, extract it's phone app, and replace Speed Rom's one in order to get The Aosp call screen, but be sure you flash the Aosp status bar first, or you will get continuous force closes, also make sure to fix permissions for the new phone app!

jelly bean transitions?
I am trying to create AOSP on NRG rom, how can I obtain Jelly bean transition effect?
Any reason why 1. Speed Rom 7 and Craigtut's AOSP Status Bar point to the same thread?
