Theme RAZR framework?

Does anybody know whether or not I have to modify any other .apk's except for the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk? I'm thinking the blur.apk and others are the motoblur ui over the native so I don't know wheteher or not I have to modify those too.
Thanks in advance for the help

[REQUEST] Help deodexing systemui.apk

I have a Samsung Dart (same hw as galaxy mini) with CM7 and I'm trying to make my status bar transparent, but the rom is not deodexed. I think it is ok to deodex systemui only, but the problem is I don't have access to a computer with Windows right now.
I couldn't find any tuts describing how to do it with Linux, so I have uploaded my systemui apk and systemui.odex in case anybody feels generous enough to deodex it for me. If you feel like making the status bar 100% transparent too, all the better, but I can do that myself if necessary.
Thanks in advance..

[Q]Tutorial on how to make CM10 theme?

I know to to make a theme, but was wondering how to make use of the theme chooser in CM10. It looks like I need to build an apk but I haven't found any guides on how to go about that. Any pointers?
Try the easy way while you wait for help
Well I've been building a theme for months and there's the easy way and the impossible way, one is to extract a template theme or any theme for that matter and replace all the images with your own as long as you don't touch the .9s and use the apk multi tool (googleable) to extract optimise and sign it for you. Thats the easy way
The other is to decompile which lets you edit XML files and .9s but I haven't managed to get that to work and no amount of internet can help me. Which means no changing the name of the theme and no uploading to the market. Which is what I planned to do. But give the easy way a go if you just want it for yourself and friends etc.
I had also posted another question here on the forums trying to figure out why I couldn't theme MMS.apk and Phone.apk; one_love_420 was kind enough to respond and mentioned the same thing you did, which is to utilize theme chooser. So that is what I ended up doing. I found a template for CM10 theme chooser and added in some lines so I could also theme MMS.
one_love_420 also provided me a link to this forum post, which helps with learning how to modify the xml files and personalize the theme.

I have actually edited .9.png files before, with my old Samsung Moment. granted that was on Android 2.2 but still applies right?
Personally I preferred to use Draw9Patch and xUltimate (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700904) and Photoshop.
Here are some guides that I have looked at previously:

Thank you for your response SimBol10! Also, let me know if you have any questions about .9.png editing and I'll try to return the favor!

decompile SystemUI.apk

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my System.UI. I can't decompile it because I obtain always an error...in every programs (Tickle,Multitool...). I want to edit lines in .xml for my custom ROM.
However, with the Framework-res.apk or settings-apk it works perfectly. I don't understand...
So If someone could help me decompiling System-UI.apk with other method, I'd be very grateful to him
Of course I join two files (framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk) in attachment.
Thanks really
Bests regards
Nobody... ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have same problem. Hope to someone can help.????
Post the error log and maybe someone will help you. Posting the apks does nothing really.
Also if your making a custom rom but cant fix a simple error then you might want to rethink things.
Also if your building a custom rom then just edit the source before to compile the build.
Finally it works. Why ? I don't know lol
Maybe it is :
-I took systemUI.apk from stock ROM (yes i changed apk from stock ROM to try)
-or I deleted mediatek-res.apk of folder names ''other'' of APKmultitool
