Hi,
I'm really new to all these rooting and apps stuff so i'd appreciate it if you would be tolerant to my noob questions.
I'm using x10i and i'm tempted to change my phone's theme after lookin at the amazing work they have here. My phone's already rooted and after goin thru the threads and learnin about framework-res.apk, i realised that in my /system/framework folder, there is no framework-res.apk in it. Seems like the files are unzipped directly in the framework folder. Due to that i am still hesitatin to change my theme as the guides mentioned to copy and replace the existin framework-res.apk to change the theme. Do i need to do somethin about the framework folder in order to install new themes? My android vers. is 2.3.3. Are there any black themes that works well and stable which i can install using xrecovery?
there are lot of black themes which can be installed .. and did u check properly if framework-res.apk is there or not .. then best option i think is better backup ur system using xrecovery then try installing the theme .. if any problem occurs jus restore it back .. else enjoy ur theme !!
Hope it helped plz thank me if it did!!

Hey,
I started to make my custom own theme, it is mix of the crysis sensation, modded steelblue theme with the gingerbread theme of clarkkov as base. But the theme has some bugs that I can't fix, so I hope someone will help me to clear the bugs.
Here are some screenshots.
Here are the bugs.
So, if someone would like to help me, sent a pm and I will give you the files you need
Note: I'm not going to release this theme.
the battery icon must be in the framework or it wont be showing...
For the rest I think .9 pngs are the problem..you must have edited them without decompiling... try to decompile your edited framework with apktool and if u get any error like "cannot find .9 patch chunk in file" edit them appropriately
Google is ur friend
Ok, thanks for your answer, will try what you've said.
Btw: the battery icon is not in my framework files, I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it :/
try looking in folders other than drawable-ldpi, I'm sure u might find it
EDIT: Other possibility,the problem could be two framework-res.apk in your system partition...when the system scans two same packages it keeps one and ignores the other...remove any duplicates if u find
Thanks again, will try to find

Wrong answer...
You could be right, but no...
That are not the default themes...
I think you should drag and drop the files from your theme into the framework file and compile and sign. That should do it.
Or do you mean a theme enabled by default but not default theme?

Try wipe cache and dalvik, and sign correctly. I admit that it is strange.
Greets!
Edit: did you sign, compile?

Hi,
check for what exactly ?
there is nothing special .. as I said .. if I flash the ROM and the theme separately then every thing is ok ...
all I did was replace the files in the zip..and then I get stucj at bootanimation.
I didn't sign or compile...
I have a theory : the SystemUI has a battery percentage and the apk has new files in it... could it be the problem ?

First: to clarify;
you have a couple APKs for your Tab.
You place them in a flashable zip, flash, bootblock
you have a ROM for your Tab,
you grab the .zip, and replace the theme APKs, flash, and it works?
THat is really strange...
Hi,
thanks for answering me mDroidd ...
I found the problem.. it is the SystemUI.apk
I copied all the theme files to my ROM zip except that file and the device boot ok.
why does this file need to be flashed in a separate zip ?
is there another way ?

Maybe it had something to do with permissions our something?
If you override the systemui manually, does it work? Can your send me you're updater script?

It depends if ur using ics. If its ice then u need to mod SystemUI.apk from system/app but if its not then u need to mod framework-res.apk in system/framework. I suggest looking up a tut for the Modding because it is a long process

If you just want to replace icons with others, all you need do is use 7zip or similar to open the apk file and literally just swap the existing icons with some new ones.
If you want to add icons, or change how they're displayed, then you're looking at decompiling.
Need help !
Can I jus replace the contacts.apk , phone.apk and get a new look or can I jus replace the PNG's on those APK's ?
Or , should I have to deal wit' the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk ?
Also , is there any way that I can extract the icons from an icon pack ??
