I would like to transfer the theme from one rom to another. I will be transferring Scott's Developer edition theme from his Cleanrom Developer edition to a stock deodex'd rom. Is there any way to do this? I have little experience with themeing roms but I can follow directions pretty good.
isn't cleanrom pretty much a stock rom?

it can be as simple as pushing the specific apps into your phone but it isnt most of the time...
devs make loads of modifications and such so usually isnt as simple
but id suggest you check out tutorials about themeing and the intro to themeing thread

Thanks, it looks like it is going to be complicated.
call me crazy but I *think* the blue theme from the dev edition is actually a skin defaulted by the ROM, called blu bugaloo or something? see if there's an apk in /system/app for that ROM, put it into the same place for the ROM you want, it should just show up in your skin options, apply it? you could also ask scott, he's a good dev and quite helpful

Yes that theme file is part of it but I dont think it changes everything. I have asked Scott and he has been helping me quite a bit, but I don't want to bug him either . He told me to ask on his forum too but I already had this topic open...

the skin is basically fusion.apk, to get any other themed items from a ROM, you could pull out these and use them in your new ROM:
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/app/Rosie.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/htc.resources.apk
/system/app/dialer.apk (only if the dialer is themed)
/system/app/phone.apk (same ^^^)

This has worked for everything but the GPS icon. The icon is still stock and visible even when disabled. Scott's rom has replaced the GPS icon and made it invisible when GPS was turned off. Any ideas?
you can replace the gps on icon with one that has been made transparent, but without being able to use pc at the moment cant tell you where its at. i think in either systemui or framework-res

that's in systemUI.apk - maybe try pulling it again from where you want and install it to /system/app of your new ROM. It sounds like you're missing it?

I tried copying the systemui from Scott's rom to the stock rom and flashing it, but it doesn't make a difference. I verified that the same images from Scott's rom are in the rom I just flashed, as I can view them with root explorer. It still shows stock though.
The three custom image files for the gps icon in scotts rom are:
stat_sys_gps_acquiring
stat_sys_gps_acquiring1
stat_sys_gps_acquiring2
However, the rom is ignoring these files and instead using:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
sym_gpsone_0_vzw
These three files are the stock white sense crosshair icons.
This is a view of the files from SystemUI.apk res\drawable-hdpi
The three blue icons are the ones I want to use.
That was small, here is a bigger version:

if you have 7zip you can open the apk with the images you want, copy them to your desktop, rename them to the name the new rom uses, then paste or drag them into the new apk (opened with 7zip), by the way, I think/hope you're off one png name, no way is a sprint rom using a vzw png lol
I was wrong, it is only using two files:
sym_gpsone_0_sprint
sym_gpsone_3_sprint
One is GPS active and one is GPS off.
I dont think renaming it is the issue. I have tried copying the entire systemUI.apk folder from Scott's rom over to the stock rom, and it still does the same thing. The default icons are also present in Scott's rom, just not used.
My next question is, what file (XML file?) references these files?

-trust me, pull the 3 images you want out of his sysUI using 7zip
-rename from stat_blah_acquire_0

Hey can someone incorporate all these mods into one flashable zip? Since the most of the mods modify the same system apps they undo the other mods, and i have no idea how to incorporate them all together.... So help would be appreciated!

I can tell you that the first 2 are two different files so they won't conflict with anything unless you already have a "theme" you're using.
CRT animations resides in the services.jar file, which won't overwrite anything you currently have going, as it has no images and isn't related to the look of your phone.
The Zeus mods file up there is one I modified to have gingerbread icons, and is part of the system that most people modify to change signal bars, battery icons, etc (SystemUI.apk) so it will change what you currently have as those.
Not too sure about the beats.
The 7-in-1 reboot mod, I personally haven't looked at that particular file you linked, but if it is what I think it is, then that file won't change or overwrite anything either, as it is the android.policy.jar file, which like services.jar doesn't include anything that will change the theme, UI, or look of your phone.
Hope this helps.
Recap:
You can flash the first and last file without changing anything you currently have. And if you want gingerbread icons, you can flash the second one. You can easily take what you currently have (if you're using a theme or you just want to preserve the look of your SystemUI.apk) and insert it into the SystemUI.apk that's in the zeus mods file.
All you need is WinRAR or 7-zip. If that's what you're trying to accomplish, reply back and I will walk you through it.

OK so come to think of it I have all of the mods installed except the beats audio. When I installed the beats audio it canceled out the crt animations and I figured if I had to pick between crt and beats audio that I'd have crt animation. So I figured out that the crt and beats both modify the services.jar but I had no idea how to modify the services.jar file to incorporate crt and beats.

Just from reading a lot of ROM threads, you can only choose one or the other. I'm not sure if anyone has incorporated both crt+beats. You may want to check the infected eternity ROM thread and if if has them both, extract the services.jar file from that particular ROM.

Is it possible if i copy framework-res.apk from stock rom with root explorer????
Sorry，I don't have one.
I'm not a developer so i can't tell you if its possible with copying framework-res.apk
Using a 2.1 framework-res.apk would cause all kinds of problems, including stopping your phone from working.
It is theoretically possible to take the old SE lockscreen from stock 2.1 and put it onto this rom. Essentially you need to take the various smali, xml and png files that define it from the old rom and use them to overwrite the sliding tab files in the new rom.
If you just want the look, you may be better off theming the sliding tab lockscreen with the images from the original.

What if I copy framework-res.apk from sony style v1.1 ROM (2.3.7).... would it also cause any problem??
Sorry I am a noob
Well, you can try but there's a good chance it might not work.
Framework-res.apk contains a whole mess of files that define how your phone's interface works. It controls the layout of various elements and does all kinds of things.
Both rom's use GB and CM7 so that's promising, but you could have a few display issues.
In fact, now that I think about it, you're also going to need the services.jar as well as that's where the lockscreen smali file is kept.
Certainly, give it a try but just be prepared for it to go wrong. Make sure you backup first!
Or, why not try just using SonyStyle instead?

Hello,
So, this is not really a theme as it cannot be "applied" : main apk`s are modded (framework-res, contacts, mms, phone, settings, systemUI, AccountAndSyncSettings).
!! Warnings !! :
1- Locales availables are EN, PT and FR, the others are deleted.
2- Made with cm7 nightly of august 12 2012, so it's compatible with neutrino 2.9. But if you're running Official cm7 you can have trouble.
3- Make a full backup before tryieng to flash this !
Some screenshots of this flashy carnival like theme : here
Cwm flashable Apk's : here
Option 1: fonts
Option 2 : RedCarrier (carrier name that appears in lockscreen / it's white by default)
OPtion 3 : Bootanimation made from NexusQ video.
Hope some people will like it. :silly: :laugh:
Why not make a metamorph theme? That way you can elliminate at least two of your three warnings, and it will possibly be compatible with other ROMs too.
I know ... but absolutely all the png are modified (some xml too) and it will be a big job to rename all of them. Or not ?
You don't have to rename anything. Basically you just extract all the png/xml from apks/jars, put files from each apk/jar in its own folder, create a xml file describing the theme, and pack it all into a ZIP.
Seems Like a Good Idea.

" create a xml file describing the theme" : i think this one will hurt in terms of time ...
Do you know a good tutorial ? I will have a look if some people like the theme.
thx.
Sorry, I don't know of any tutorials (although some might exist). I normally just take an existing theme and adapt its XML.
It shouldn't be a problem modifying an existing XML, the file is pretty simple and straightforward.
I tried to flash this twice on nuet 2.9 and nothing changed....? Maybe I need the theme engine?

No need of theme engine.
did you install CM7Night12.08.ApkAstrakanSkin.CWM.zip ?
If yes and assuming you are on stock neutrino 2.9 rom ... there is possibly a problem with my install script ... I going to verify.
yup ... it was a bul**** in my script ...
I'm re-uploading ...
Done. You can download and try again.
Sorry !
Thank-you and as I am sure you know you are right I am on neutrino 2.9 ....I will redownload now.

Just flash the zip in CWM after making a nandroid

Not sure how to go about this for an odexed system.
To install in a terminal:
$su
$mount -o remount,rw /system
$mv /system/app/[APP] /system/app/[APP].bak
$cp /mnt/sdcard/[AOSP APP] /system/app/
Then reboot. :good:

Stock mms is actually LGMms3.apk.
And I've HEARD (can't confirm myself) that you can install them on an odexed ROM and just delete the xx.odex file that corresponds with the .apk from /system/app. So to install the browser just delete browser.odex from /system/app (assuming it is just called browser.apk).
You then reboot.
And may have to clear both caches.
Sorry for the noob question, but I've never installed anything via terminal. Can't you just install these apk's the way you'd install any other sideloaded apk? Do you have to use the terminal?

No thats just how I did, do it however you feel comfortable with. Personally I've never done the sideload method.

After reading on those threads, I see how to install them with Root Explorer rather than the terminal method. Whew, I'd rather deal with a GUI then something where one typo can leave you scratching your head or worse.

Lol I suppose you're right, the terminal way isnt very intuitive.
I've been using the AOSP SMS app from Slick ROM for a couple days now. One thing that I miss from stock is that it doesn't wake the screen when a text is received and it doesn't popup to reply.

Install is failing for me on the holomms.apk.
Edit: even though I am getting install failed, it seemed to install anyway. I notice this is a much older version of MMS. The holo version lacks the "original timestamp" feature which I use considerably due to being in a lot of service dead spots during my day. Any chance on the original plan of theming the first apk? No biggie either way
Hello guys and galls,
I'm a big fan of dark themes, so here you have it, enjoy them!
Please don't ask for Lollipop updates: I rely heavily on Xposed so I'll take a loooong, sweet time before I'll even consider Lollipop - - - :fingers-crossed: - - :crying:
The included themes have been tested on the Canadian Note 4 (SM-N910W8) but they should be working on all Snapdragon variants.
DISCLAIMER:
As always, it is entirely your responsibility. Make a backup before flashing any theme!!!!
INSTALLATION:
Flash the zip file from recovery (TWRP, CWM or similar). Directly pushing the files to system/priv-app will result in the themed apps not to show, at all. You need to flash the package from recovery!!! If you want to keep your original services.jar file, save it before flashing > flash the desired package > reboot > replace the flashed version with the one you saved > reboot. Done!
PREREQUISITES:
KitKat ONLY!!! (no Lollipop suport)
Rooted,
Deodex ONLY!!! (if you know what you're doing, SecSettings.apk and InCallUI.apk (only) also work with odex files.)
Snapdragon variants (no idea whether they would work on Exynos - feedback appreciated).
The contained Contacts file is specific to the US variants (SecContacts_Note_USA.apk). If you're installing the theme on a non-US variant, you have to either delete or append a .bak to the original file (system/priv-app) before flashing the theme - otherwise you'll end up with 2 Contacts files. Furthermore, you don't necessarily have to rename the included Contacts file to match your original - it works as is, but if you prefer to, anyways go ahead, rename it.
GPE Theme was originally created by Brian (bri315317), however the theme was intended to be used within his ROM so in order to make it work independently I have slightly modified it and created 2 versions. I've posted this with his permission and obviously the due credits go to him.
Features:
- Pure Black background/theme consistent throughout all the apps.
- Own set of white icons
- Modified apps: Contacts, Messaging, Settings, Phone & Dialer.
- 4-way reboot menu.
- CRT screen off effect.
- App Ops
- Screen capture (screenshot) and torch added to the Power menu.
GPE Theme: removed the SystemUI.apk (it was constantly crashing), removed AirMessage.apk (didn't seem to be working outside Brian's Dynamic Kat ROM) and,
GPE Theme_HomeWake: same changes as above + I've modified the file under policy to force the Home button to wake up the phone (it makes sense when the finger scanner is used to unlock the phone). Note: Due to the original smali file enforcing a system-wide "Home-key-no-wake" policy, known file modifications under system/usr/keylayout have no effect whatsoever - hence, the creation of this version.
Material Design_HomeWake: (see the attached screenshots) same idea as GPE Home Wake but this is Brian's light theme. Note that due to the deep integration with his ROM, this theme offers only the same type of customization as the dark one, without taking advantage of any of the material design implementations.
NACO theme (Device Default) it's a combination of Brian's files and my files, it uses Samsung's Device Default theme/style (dark theme).
Features:
- Samsung's Device Default background/theme (dark with blueish headers - see the attached screenshots) - applied only to the affected apps
- Original icons
- Home button DOES wake the device (disabling this through the file IS possible)
- Modified apps: Contacts, Messaging, Settings, Phone & Dialer
- preserves original styles/themes of all the other apps not specifically modified for theming
- CRT screen off effect
- No App Ops - can be installed independently from Play Store
CREDITS:
- bri315317 for GPE Theme and Dynamic Kat ROM
- sefrcoko for his (Canadian) deodexed ROM
Screenshots: the dark theme is NACO Device Default theme, the light theme is Material Design_HomeWake.

I couldn't replicate the issue with the Clock or Samsung Music and since they seem to create some force closes with certain variants while working just fine with others, I've decided to remove them from all the themes - in other words no changes to the original Clock and Samsung Music apk. I've uploaded the new packages and update the OP to reflect the changes.

Hey thanks! I'm gonna give these another try. The only ones I was having problems with that I tried were the Clock and Music apk. When I tried the Contacts.apk I just copied and pasted to system/priv-app but it wouldn't show in my app drawer. Even after wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions. I will give it another go. SecSettings.apk. worked great tho.

Flash the whole zip file from recovery and wipe the Dalvik/cache afterwords - all 3 apks related to phone (SecTeleservice, SecContacts and InCallUI) need the services.jar under framework to get properly installed - if you try to just push them, as you did, you'll end up exactly in the situation you've described. Furthermore, I highly recommend installing all 3 apks related to phone - don't just pick Contacts. They are interdependent.

I have an alredy modified services.jar with hotspot unlocked. So I would probably lose that if i flash the provided one in the zip.

OK, then probably the best next thing for you would be to save your services.jar, flash the zip as is and once the installation completed/rebooted, then put back your services file. Let me know, please!

That did it! Everything worked as suggested. Some of the text bubbles are hard to see with the white text but the dark grey bubbles work fine. Black dialer with blue numbers looks good. Contacts looks great too...thank you!

Do you have any aspirations of modifying his material theme in the same regards?

So is this not supposed to be themed?

If you are referring to Brian's Material Light Theme, that's actually quite easy, and yes, by all means if there are requests I can provide the files...but unfortunately, besides getting a nice light theme, very similar to Samsung's original, you won't get much more than that - due to the deep integration with his ROM, the theme won't inherit any material design characteristics/features, just background/font modifications similar to the dark themes.

No, these themes will NOT modify any aspects related to notification bar/ quick settings, etc, etc, etc.
The easiest/most convenient way to customize most of these aspects is by using Wanam's Xposed module.
