Depends. Which theme? Link?
There's a couple theme porters available here on xda, or google. Or you can look into doing it manually, then you can grab what you want and mix and match. It sometimes takes a few tries, but its fun if you like that sort of thing. All you have to do is unzip, swap out the pngs you want, zip and and sign, make an update.zip and flash, or use something like Ninjamorph to stuff it back. Automates the zip, sign, replace.

The Theme that I was interested in coverting over to CM6.2 was the andro green theme originally found in the Hero forum, the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783883
+1 for an answer to this, I'm in the same boat. Tried Theme Porter but I think I'm doing it wrong...
Basically what i ended up doing was just replacing all the appropriate images in the framework-res.apk

what program/app did you use to do this?
It be really easy to port that theme since its already on a same size mdpi device . Only thing that would be a little time consuming is if he made any changes to the xml's which isn't hard to do just takes a little time to sift through it and compile it to your framework based on the rom you are using.

I used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to decompile the ROM that I wanted to replace the images in the framework-res.apk. I definitely recommend learning how to use it because it will allow you to customize ROMs of your choice and allow u to add and remove apk's in the ROM. And then recompile it.

Not anywhere specifically, I learned by decompiling frameworks and reading tthrough the source xml's and asking and read up in theme threads and Appmanager. But if you have any question about something specific you can pm me

download an other custom rom and modify it:
add/remove apps
change theme
modify apps (change the icons..etc)
modify framework-res.apk
add tweaks
and any other things you want
I Think that we do not need more rom developer, with owain and slade we got enough, maybe yoou should study about kernel development, thats what we need , im already studying kernels too

Download some custom rom (CM7, CM6, slade's rom or owain's rom) and check in, \META-INF\com\google\android\Update-script, what its inside this file, this will be damn useful for you

messing in the rom is modding,
try to port a rom close to our hardware like wildefire/legend htc sense
play with libs.
for developing get cyanogenmod/floyo or some other source and set it up and try to compile.
ServerBoost100, you are saying that you want to be a developer, but you ask for every step here. Maybe do your own job and study something, not only
ok, i have (...), what now?

Whenever you try to change the framework, it is better if you deodex your rom and then replace it. Check this thread for deodexing - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31656960
It should work on other devices too.:victory:

Also it might be caused by Small Spps.
It need some signatures to run on first boot,otherwise it will bootloop.
So you ned to resign the ROM like Pranav Pandey did that in his xNXT.
if your rom has to do with rom control and small apps, then , you MUST remove small apps support.
check sandy7 guide, and invert it

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want suggestions on what to add? Are stuck on how to add a particular feature to your ROM? One thing you could try is compiling AOSP and using that as the base for your ROM a great guide on doing that can be found here and here (Official Google guide to building AOSP). I'll be happy to help you out best I can so let me know if you still have questions.

Glad you were able to fix that, my main suggestion would be to modify only one part of your ROM at time (Just like a science experiment) that way you know that if it doesn't work it's very likely because of the modification you just made. Also logcat will be a big help to help you figure out where things are causing problems and what things are causing problems.

Try updating the system apps to their latest version and pulling the apk's of the updates version then including these latest version updated apk's in your ROM :good:.

Also make sure in your ROM's updater-script the system apps you have added are given the proper file permissions.
I did a work-around and made added apps get flashed to /data/app. But Play Store still fc's. I modified the updater-script from another Rom for this phone, but I only added lines.

Dont worry, Its working in my Tablet Z (SGP312) . We, the TZ users, have been facing lags with settings, But now Its working fine without lags :good:. But I have another question.
Do you have the option to Enable/Disable the Double Tap2Wake in TZ2? Because I cant find it, but Its activated.
And
Could you give me SemcSettings.apk Customizedsettings.apk, SoundEnhacement.apk and SuperStamina.apk?
Thanks for your contribution, You give me the solution for a important bug :highfive:
here are the files you requested: http://dl.free.fr/klPq6b1Hk
SemcSettings.apk and SoundEnhacement.apk go to /system/app
settings.apk and Customizedsettings.apk go to /priv-app/system.
I updated my tablet to firmaware .402 since I uploaded settings apk this morning so I also uploaded the new version.
I do have the option to Enable/Disable the Double Tap2Wake in the display section)
If you need any other apk I uploaded everything for firmware .36 about a mont ago on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694025
glad to be of help.
I didn't want to create an extra thread for requesting another apk.
Could you please share the launcher from Z2 tablet? something like com.sonyericsson.home.apk
