hello
im new in android world and specialy xperia arc
i know how to install roms and other stuff and i have so many problems with my phone and i solved them like battery 0% and ...
i have a question about how can i make my own theme , i wanna customize everything status bar buttons icons and ... i don wanna use go luncher and sth like that.
i wanna do everything from zero to hero
please let me know what should i do and if there is a link can u refer me to it please thanks a lot. and god bless you
i wanna create a theme to make my arc looks like xperia x8 , u know i love the corner buttons of x8
thanks again
theme is base on
- system/framework/framework-res.apk
- system/framework/SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
- system/app/SystemUI.apk
- system/app/Home.apk
basic , You can change all *.png to your style , open & extract apk using winRAR and replace old file using winRAR again.
- save change edited apk
- copy new edited apk to internal memory (/xxx /yyy /root) , change file permission (rw-r--r--) , move file to overwrite old apk target
-always change files permission! before paste & overwrite!! (if not , bootloop!!)
- about Home.apk is Xperia main launcher , before you overwrite apk you must change default launcher to 3rd party launcher (if not , may be bootloop!!)
EDIT:
Delete please, other guy was faster

Is it possible to change the black fields on my sreenshot? I want them to be at least lighter - example - light grey... I used UOT Kitchen to make my own theme but this can not be changed with it... So, does anybody know what files to change to change that black fields?
Thanks in advance...

This Mode is only for Gingerbread ROM and is no more maintained !
Same Mode is Availble in my ROM NeroICS with every thing working
GPS crash fix and network toggle is fixed now with 15 toggles...
I have read a lot about users comments to know how to make Power widgets for statusbar and how to customize them.
And finally got solution over it ! Its similar to the statusbar from CyanogenMod BUT this one is more cool in look !!
You can add remove and arrange the power widgets in statusbar as you want and also apply settings without reboot ! This is for Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) Users with Android 2.3.4 OS as i have tested it on my SK17i
It also worked on Xperia Mini and Live (Tested by users...)
Active users can try at their own risk ! And please report if it works....
NOTE : I am not responsible if you damage your device by my work ! AND DON'T HESITATE TO HIT THANKS BUTTON IF YOU LIKE MY WORK AS I HAVE MODED IT FOR SK17i !!
Instruction for use :
Firstly extract "Xperia Nero v1 (Power Widgets).zip" anywhere you want and follow these method.
Method 1 :
1] Install QuickPanelSettings.apk
2] And Just Copy " Xperia Nero v1.zip " directly to SD CARD and flash it using CMW
And you are done !
Method 2 :
1] Install QuickPanelSettings.apk
2] Extract " Xperia Nero v1.zip " copy SystemUI.apk from "app" folder and framework-res.apk from "framework" folder of extracted files.
3] Put them anywhere in phone memory before you replace original files using adb or Root Explorer etc and change permission to
R W -
R - -
R - -
4] Make backup of original SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and then copy the apk that you put in phone memory just now.And reboot
And you are done !
Sorry For Orange colored pics but actually its BLUE Color NOT Orange !

Yes you can use it with UOT kitchen and I can say it would be better to re modify these apk file as you want instead of porting look of old SystemUI.apk, as it takes more efforts than redesigning
thanks for reply. I have tried using this in UOT Kitchen but when i flash it back on to my phone the status bar widgets are gone. ANy ideas?

This might be due to 2 reasons first is you might have added header or carrier lable that will cause you to loose power widgets
or the layout,choose mdpi layout and make sure tou haven't added any non compatible widget icons like blue icon pack...
rest it shouldn't happen as i have tested them on uot before i answer you
method 2 does not require unlocked bootloader right? just rooted phone?
update - my UOT Kitchen'ed version of framework and systemui works if i perform a factory reset and then apply. but then i lose all my stuff, so i have restored my backup. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and then flashing zip but that applies my theme but without toggles :-s I'm so confused

No method 2 needs only rooted phone to use root explorer or similar software to copy apk files
These software requires root access...no need of unlocked bootloader..

This shouldn't happen,though you try following steps
firstly extract my apk files from my work (systemui and framewor-res both)
Upload them to uot and modify as you want
download and extract the modified uot files (systemui and framework-res both) and replace your origianl apk files from phone memory by giving properpermission as mention above in method 2
Reboot and it should work ...
and be sure you don't mess with header and carrier label through uot ! Cause i have restricted them in my work for stability.

live
On my live I've just used systemUI.apk and it works perfectly.
I just don't like the status bar color... I would like to change it to the original black, but i don't know how..
If someone can change this for me, I would be very grateful
On this mod, for what is the framework, what it will do?

Can you explain what you meant by horrible graphics ?
Did it gave you any glitches or else ? cause it worked on Mini as told by one user...
And if you want to revert back to old look then just replace SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk of old rom with proper perimissions that i mentioned above and you will get your old look back... (I hope you had made a backup of these files or Nandroid backup before you used my work )
I noticed a small problem in Quick panel
Pressing mobile data, which indicates the light on or off is not quenched. He turns on and off mobile data, but the indicator light remains lit.
I dont like black background of all folders or settings in galaxy ace.
Or how to make white menus or background in ace-help with download
give me your framework-res.apk and i will set ios background in settings etc
I've been wondering too myself how to make menu background white. Is there a guide somewhere ? Or do i have to change only one value somewhere ( i.e. ...=000000 to ...=FFFFFF ) ?
no guide unfortunantly
but u need to vhange some stuff to @drawable/background
and then i t will work
if u give me the framework res .apk
i can do it fast

Hi!
For now I haven't ideas for what band/images I will add in future so:
Tell me what you want to see
Just install like normal app (after reboot the stock DefaultThemes will be restored so this is temporary method - to see what is the effect) or copy to system/app.
After copying you need to reboot your phone and then choose theme.
If someone will successful use it on Gingerbread please let me know if it work.

Want click 'quote'...
This is the apk with first theme, without icons. I thing there will be problem with adding icons to DefaultThemes... To change icons we need modify framework or app that want to have non-stock icons.
I think that 'Glam' has very nice appirience.
Today morning I'll upload next app for you with the second and first theme in one package.
EDIT:
Please tell me what you think about this
There is bug in keyboard in dialer... When uploading morning I'll try to repair it.
Not working brov... download, copy apk file to system/app/, add permission & restart!!!
Don't know why. I install this on my phone - work, copying working too... I will see and try to make it work.
What error you get?? Try to install first... Tell me if instaling of this package is working.
Check one more time permissions... If I can use it without any errors then you can too.
Try redownload apk.
Upload with images so you can see that it works.
Application background in 'old paper' is little edited because the original was to bright and texts was less visible.
which one did yhu upload again brov...?
nice screenies... thanks so much buddy! i copy to system/app, add permission den restart... when i open display- themes, it was blank, nothing shows!
I don't know why it is blank. In my phone you have seen what it's looks like.
Take a look at post #10... There is an app with moded 2 themes. Try to install (not copy) and tell me is there still missing dialpad background.
What is your phone? What system compilation do you use? Place a screenshot with issue you talking about.
I figure out how to ADD (not modify) themes.
Take a look at attachment... There one theme added called 'NEW' (copy of 'Glam' but is more then 7 buildin themes).
i get parsing error while installing....
am using xperia mini pro buddy. what do yhu mean by system compilation?

No issue with keyboard?
If you delete original DefaultThemes.apk from system/app you can install themes (like normal app) and after reboot it will not change to stock.
First backup and then delete. On ICS this is working correctly.
To change icons we need to modify apps... This is a lot of work. In DefaultThemes or ThemeChooser app there are no possibility to add icons change mod or it's very very very hard to do.
When I buy new PC I'll write app (this is a plan ) to change whole UI (backgrounds and icons) for stock.

You can use ninjamorph for changing status bar background image
But it will only work if the status_bar.xml has a @drawable value for status bar background
If it doesn't and has a hexadecimal value it will not work as it's not pointing to a picture that can be changed
You will need to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the value to @drawable/name of image and then place the image in the drawable-ldpi folder
You can change any other status bar image but it's a slow way of doing it as you can only change one image at a time (you can change as many as you like before you confirm change & apply I mean you cant multi select)
It's easier to unzip the apk & replace files
At op - to avoid confusion of warze instead of posting link to Dropbox post the link to download from the playstore - will also mean people will be downloading latest version
This is playstore link

You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone
(there are apps to edit xml files on phone but they don't work with android compressed xml files within apk)
@marcus
Thanks mahn... Uh explained them rightly... (Y)
I don't like ninja morph!
What I do is rename the apk to .zip and make changes inside the zip with powergrasp. And when done rename it again

That is easier if you have a lot of mods to do
Ninjamorph was created to change a single file quickly on the fly - its not designed for multiple file replacements

Ninja morph is for fast , reliable access for one file....
Its great app for newbies just editing their background... Icons etc..

Depends what you tried to change
For example of if you tried to change the status bar background image and there's not an entry in status_bar.xml for a @drawable png image it would be impossible to change using ninjamorph as there is no pointer to an image in systemui.apk
And of course you have to finish the project and apply changes without zip aligning
It does work if used correctly and for the right use
You need a pc with the following installed
Android drivers
Java development
Apk tools
You can then decompile systemui.apk & edit xml files in notepad
Unfortunately there is no way of editing xml files on phone

is this a debate thread?
ninjamorph is just a simple and user friendly tool
there is also a script that manages to change png files using terminal emulator
i use both.
i dont like extract and rezip for some reasons
Please stop all of this.... Its just a app..
So if any one want and they don't know about it then they can get...
So please stop arguing about which bad or good app... As all apps are made by some efforts of developer, so we should respect that effort instead of argueing about which is best !
op you were not the first here. it is already introduced to us. with tutorial on how to use the ninjamorph and the dos and dont. with screenshot and examples of finished products too. try to search the forum before posting

If u just want to change icons of any app, then just extract the app with zarchive or root explorar or any other archiving tool... Then go to the extracted app folder. Then go to res/drawable. in this folder you will find icon.png . just replace it with ur desired icon... then zip the folder and rename the zip as apk... You are done...
If u are in pc just open the apk with winrar then replace the icon with winrar.. That's it...
