Im looking to customize my phone even more than the already made themes for this rom.
it says create a zip of the custom setting theme, but to be honest I have no idea how to
make a custom zip of a theme, I realize this is probably a stupid question
If some one could help me out.
Thanks!

You have to have some knowledge of theme work to be able to create your own. There is a massive amount threads that can give you that information. The option you're talking about just makes a zip file of the settings you're using.

Can I create a theme by just redesigning the original graphic files of one of the themes already included in the rom or this process is more complicated.

yes you can.
its quite easy as long as you remember to edit files that wont effect the UI, use pngs with the same resolution, and dont mess with xml files lol if you dont have to... other than that its pretty much jus copy and pasting pngs from one theme to another... good luck btw sense based roms use the framework-res.apk and htc.resources.apk... and CM based roms use the framework-res.apk and the systemUI.apk if this helps
is there a program to custom themes already made.
I just read the posts and wanted to know if there was a program that can do what you guys are talking about. I would like to make my own themes with themes made by other people. If the is no program then where would one start. Thx in advanced.
So i asked many people but didnt get much help but i finally figured out how to get system.img and boot.img and unpacked them too.
Now i want to ask, what are the things that a custom ROM should have? Things we should add or remove? will removing apk's and adding a few kernels be enough? How can i change the theme?

First, always new kernel.
Second, CM theming is easy. For the rest of the roms yiu can use apktool.
You should make two versions: lite and full.
Lite is stripped down full w/o GAPPS.
Supercharger and Turbocahrger scripts are nice. For the rest: google is your best friend!
Greets!
I remove all of the apps that draw alot of memory,mostly carrier crap(bloatware)then i add all of the free apps from the market that i use alot,then i go to UOT kitchen and set a theme for my new rom,i also use 7-zip and macromedia fireworks to customize the rosie,wallpapers,splash screen,boot animations,etc,i also add a few tweaks for the build.prop,you can also edit the text in the updater-script.Like the guy above said,google is your best friend.
Hey everyone,
I'm really sorry if this has been posted out there someone, but I did search and I did not find what I was looking for, as this is recent.
So, I've flashed Samsungs latest ICS official ROM, but I really hate the TW UI. Is there anyway I can apply the UI of the official ICS ?
I'm not refering to launchers skins, as they do not to a total makeover like the menu's, diallers, and such.
I do not want to flash another rom since I don't want to delete anything.
If so, to what do I point to ? Mod's or theme's ?
Thanks in advance

Asked and answered your own question.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you will have to apply a new Theme.

Thanks ctomgee,
I know this is really noob, but I don't know the difference between a Mod or a theme or which is which..
And since I was having doubts and I do not want another ROM, I thought It would be wise to ask.
Thanks !

Mod is short for modification. (duh) Refers to anything that is changed from stock, really.
Theme (which technically is also a mod) refers to a whole set of framework, icon, color, and graphic changes. For example, there are themes out there that just change all the icons, etc. on Gingerbread, to look like ICS, without actually having ICS.
Of course, a theme still won't change your launcher... so you'll still have the TW launcher. Unless you install a third party launcher, like LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW, or other.
Hy, ive been trying to search for some kind of official thread for this but i cant find anything so far, this Aroma program, is this do add diferent themes or? ive been reading around but i havent figured out what this is and what it does,
Thank you
An aroma is a zip file that you flash in clockwork mod and can modify the ROM your on (status bar/ extra features) or add extra apps. Its used more on stock ROMs as custom ROMs have options to tweak them in the settings. Usually the dev of the rom will make an aroma for it, if your not on a custom ROM you'll need to search for the different things you want in the themes section.
Im using the new Neatrom 4.1 that came out on the 23 of this month really like it so far was just reading around on the neatrom thread lots of people talking about the aroma and toggles and what not, but didnt really understand much i think they can modify the battery icon and change the colour and i actually would like to do that myself.

But the answer has already been given to you above... Read it again please.
In Neatrom it's definitly worth trying, so just do it to understand what it's about.
Sent from the Matrix
These are Theme templates for the people that like to change things up without haveing to flash a whole ROM.
They only contain the app, font, and framework folders for the system. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A ROM.
You can use this for a couple of diffrent things:
1. dodex a stock rom
2. return a themed rom back to stock deodexed
3. Create your own theme w/o building a whole ROM.
Have fun and happy themeing
YES, i know things like this are kind of outdated but i'm set in my ways and still use them. So, if you use them, please hit the thanks button.

4.2.2 theme template
