Query
Thanx bro...keep it coming...
Just some questions though....they might seem a bit irrelevant...but i m a starter here...so...
1. If we wanna build a theme ourselves then how do we take out the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files from the device?
2. Will the process be similar in KPE and VillianROM?
3. And how the hell do u take those screenshots of ur phone
Actually i m currently running KPE (unrooted) but will shift to VillianROM in a day or two, so just wanna increase my knowledge here.
Thanx in advance.

1. Yes, you can use framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk from your device or grab it from here and modify them..
2. The process is more than similar if you do that manually
3. How the hell you don't know it.. lol [Hold Back Button + Home]
U're welcome

thanks again the hope the battery percentage is fixed as well.
Keep it coming !!

i knew the combo keys for taking the screen shots but everytime i tried i either went back to the home screen or to the back page.....
and as for the 1st question i actually wanted to know how can i isolate those files from my device.....the actual process of it.....
Also how does one use the minimal.zip file attached above...???....Sorry if i m sounding a real noob here....(coz i am )
Thanx for the prompt reply though......

While using some apps, it isn't possible to use that inbuilt technique as they quickly return back. In that case use Screenshot Capture Shortcut app, which doesn't even require rooting =) Enable Capture from notification option in it.

I DONT RECOMMEND THAT APP. "Screenshot Capture Shortcut". Or use it with utmost knowledge. It will kill your phone. I experienced frequent shutdown on my phone after i installed it (BEFORE). I tried to uninstall all my recent installed apps. but still my phone keeps on shutting down without me knowing. So i uninstalled "Screenshot Capture Shortcut" and my problem solved.
I know some workaround but it is a bit tiring. YOU NEED TO TURN OFF THE SERVICE (Screenshot Capture Shortcut) AFTER YOU TOOK THE SCREEN SHOOT. DO NOT LEAVE IT THERE IN THE NOTIFICATION. ELSE YOUR PHONE WILL SHUTDOWN WITHOUT NOTICE.
Beside, You dont have a problem with ROOT because villainROM1.0 is PRE-ROoted. you can install many screen capture apps (ROOTED OR UNROOTED REQUIRED)..
Only thing I noticed is that these Screen capture Apps in market wont work in GB. It will capture WRONG COLORS (INVERTED i guess).
Just take a try and you'll know what I mean.

Hold home button first, then quickly press back and capture
to take those file you can use root explorer, and go into /system/framework and /system/app (little forget bout this one)
minimal.zip is just image packed in zip, to use them you need to extract it and use as app icon in yout launcher

seilent can u give me the tutorial for custom theme as i cannot understand the one on kaskus

About tutorial basically you just need to decompile > modify > build..
But I'll post it when I have free time (porting theme is easier than making tutorial )
Indonesia has many language. Even the official language itself have many variation. So google translate won't work

[theme] modified BLack-Eclair v1.4 for CursorSense by Sadek and Krzysiec

hi,
I've created this threat to talk about this theme for Cursorsense
=========
short history :] :
The person who created this is kosworld. He did it for hero and it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615096
latter on, Sadek changed colors, icons, dialer, and something in the music player [still for hero]...
Finally, Krzysiec modified it for cs, he added CS default battery in the notification bar [the one with segments] and made some adjustments.
There's also Vatras' modifiaction [few icons and music widget's icon] here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5489975&postcount=2489
So BIG THANKS to all of them for their contribution
========
Krzysiec's version:
1) with straight lockscreen (screenshot nr 1)
DOWNLOAD: http://www.sendspace.com/file/o9azns
screens from 1-6
2) with arched lockscreen (carbon-like) [screenshot nr 10 by Krzysiec] - I believe that only the lockscreen is different (Hopefully, Krzysiec will tell us latter on)
DOWNLOAD: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ysf320
MIRROR: http://rapidshare.com/files/349666729/BlackEclairv1.5.zip
as you can see, in both versions everything is made darker and expresso-like -> creating, in my opinion, quite awesome theme
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) install from the market a) MetaMorph b) AndExplorer
2) download the zip file into your sdcard
3) select "open theme" choose AndExplorer and than find the zip file long-press it (until a tick appears over its icon) -> OK
4) wait
5) now you should be able to either apply all the modifications or just select those that you're interested in (you can apply only rosie, launcher, resources and framework - it doesn't change all the icons etc. therefore it gives a sense of expresso with original sense icons but if you like you can apply everything, it's up to you)
6) if the MM directs you back to its main screen, click the other MM button: "existing theme" and go into sdcard/androidthemes/blackeclairv1.5/ and long-press blackeclairv1.5.thm and your good to go with 5)
I've encounter some sort of a bug... when applying framework, MM asks you about restarting your phone, and when you click "yes" it loops...
so just click "yes" few times, then pick "no" and perform the restart manually, it should work.

straight lockscreen. Maybe I need to redownload it. Trying again. Rosie opens fine right after applying theme, but now after rebooting, instead of FCs I just get stuck at boot animation.
Did you apply the theme on a clean, just-wiped flash?
edit: Applied theme on a wiped, fresh install. Now it works well. Geez I hope I don't have to re-apply after every update... and end up with those errors again ><;
I just applied the one with the straight lockscreen, i did not wipe and i am not running on fresh install, it works perfect, and i looks really really good!
Fantastic theme, thank you so much for sharing your work!

That's HTC Sense UI battery widget, literally called "Battery"
on click, it shows a popup with your battery info.
P.S. Great skin, guys It really beats default 1.5 Sense UI, looks much more sleek and stylish.
And maybe the errors I had were caused by applying the skin over CursorSense 1.2.6.1 after applying the HoFo kernel and png-optimized .apk's?

Why don`t U read first post ?
1) install from the market a) MetaMorph b) AndExplorer
Why pepole want to force brick theirs device :/ READ READ READ before U apply anything !
When I press Home, I can go to the "Home" or the HTC Sense. I wanna use bettercut and unfortuantely, it takes the icons from "Home" instead of the HTC Sense. I tried to go back to the other home by clearing the defaults under HTC Sense. It gives me an effload of force errors... Is there anything else I can do about this?

@selient,
Thank you for all your hard work. This is my favorite theme so far.
A few questions though:
Is it possible to revert to the stock VillainROM theme (undo changes)?
When changing to other themes, can i immediately apply new update.zip of should i revert to stock theme?

1. Look at the forum for Default theme update.
2. Yes, you can.

[CODEROM][THEME] + Enabling CRT animation.

Well I have modified the the theme provided by Lovetz and found out a way to make CRT screen animation work. Samsung had disabled the CRT animation but the program is still there in Our ROM.
Working only for CODEROM but will try to add for other ROMS later.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Theme modifications:
1. Dark MIUI+TouchWiz(only some parts are of TouchWiz)
2. TouchWiz dropdown quickpanel with slightly modified notification and transparent background.
3. Lightweight and fast. (even the scrolling on android frameworks)
4. ENABLED CRT ANIMATION.
How to apply theme:
1. Download the attached zip.
2. Copy to root of SD card.
3. Get into recovery.
4. Apply update and select this zip.
5. Reboot.
Voila. You have the theme. Well even if you didnt like the theme i will try to make orginal theme with working CRT animation. Till then please do adjust.
THEMES:
1. Download and update "coderom_Default.zip" for original theme.
2. Download and update "coderom_MIUIWiz" for this theme.
NOTE: Applying themes is optional. I just gave a theme of mine for fun. But if you just want to enable the screen animations then continue reading and follow the steps given below.
FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.
How to enable CRT animation:
1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .
2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #.
3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.
4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.
5. Reboot phone.
NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.
NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.
Video for Instructions to enable CRT animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6RsSZ4X2w
Credit for the Video: GadgetCheck (Thank you very much GadgetCheck )
Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.
Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

seilent and others (Theme-making experts)
nhnt11 (my very close friend who bought me into this ANDROID BUZZ)
MY GALAXY ACE (how can i forget it )
EDIT:Will soon add the screenshots for this theme.
Nice, great work.
But could you explain what changes you made exactly to enable CRT animation? That would make it easier to implement it in the variety of ROMs that are out there.
i prefer original one. can i follow ur tutorial to get CRT working in original theme? thanx

Hey man. I too use the Code rom without the theme by lovetz
Just don't install the Update file. Assuming you have rooted yor phone, this is what you should doIt worked for me! And believe me its awesome!!!)
1. Open root explorer.
2.Goto system and copy build.prop to your sdcard.
3.Transfer the build.prop file to windows and open it with wordpad (not notepad)
4. Do as he says(ie the code change)
5.put it back on your system/ using root explorer, and reboot. Remember to enable all animations in settings>display>animations
Thank me!!! (ie. press thx button)

I have added the original theme too. But if you can understand what manju991 says then do what he says.
@manju991- Thanks man but one thing, i changed my build.prop with a freshly flashed coderom but i went into a bootloop. This happened to me many a times. Thats why i tried to try different xmls and try to make screen animation work. Did you have the same problem?
do this trick working on codenexus rom? coz lovet's theme didn't work, (i got force close after install)

Well AFAIK this will surely not work in nexus ROM. But if you know something about apktool and etc you can try to extract framework-res.apk and change one xml boolean value and do the same build.prop edit. There are many threads regarding nexus on this topic.

no, it's not nexus rom i mean but codenexus, the v2 of coderom. it's same with coderom v1 but with ext4 support and some tweaks. i thought it's use same framework but when i install the theme i got force close on my screen and setting menu is missing from app drawer.
I am using CodeROM with Glowing crisis theme and did the trick of Manuj and did not work.
did you? what error are you getting? Did you enable all the animations?
work perfectly i tried in default theme. just edit in root explorer
#debug.sf.hw=1 <--- got 2 lines of this. one somewhere in the middle and one at 5th from the last.
important is make sure u go to setting -> display -> enable all animation !
its work, just edit in root explorer,.. thx
but the animation just too fast, is it possible to slow it down a bit?

man did you enable all animations in settings>display>animation... try that
got the same entry almost at the bottom of build.prop
btw: using the miui-theme with codeROMnexus (updated version of coderom) screws up my ace. settings get deletetd and i cant enter it on other ways, also status bar gets lost. but with default theme it works, ill stick with that

[MOD] Transparent lockscreen

Thought i'd pay something back for all i've learned here on xda-developers (something simple, i'm still learning ). So here are some transparent lockscreens for various roms. The lockscreens are completely transparent (10% opacity) except for the clock and the charging indicator. The files below are for unmodded / unthemed roms. If you want one for your theme, or one not in the list below, let me know.
Thanks to Lg_X_Modderer for pointing me in the right direction about how to make the lockscreen transparent. Thanks to everyone else who explained how to edit apk's and make flashable zip's etc.
Install through CMW from recovery.
If you previously have set a lockscreen wallpaper through the gallery, remove the file from /data/data/com.cooliris.media/files (with for example root-explorer).
Use at own risk, do a nandroid backup before flashing.

If you want to do it yourself, here's how:
I use notepad++ for editing, but any editor will work. Use apkmanager to decompile / compile framework-res.apk.
Edit res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="@color/background_dark" with android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper".
In line 5 replace android:background="#30000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In line 12 replace android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" to android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip".
Edit res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_lockscreenwallpaper.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In res/drawable-hdpi:
Replace default_wallpaper.jpg with default_wallpaper.png. Replace zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg with transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png (can be any png size 480x800).
Thats it.
sir, just a question...
currently, i have achieved a transparent lockscreen by setting a transparent picture file as my lockscreen wallpaper.
may i ask, what would be the difference with your method?
thank you in advance.
Well, according to this post, that didn't work. So i made changes to the framework-res.apk following Lg_X_Modderer's instructions and made the flashable zip's.
Well this is exactly what ive been wanting for my clear glass theme.
Wasnt able to achieve it myself. Can you make it work for my theme?
What do you need? the framework-res.apk?
Thanks alot.
Yes, the framework-res.apk is all I need.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thanks matey.
Here it is. Can you tell me which xml it is also because soon im going to be changing framework to a more tweaked one but thats not ready yet.
Then i can just swap the xml.

Forgot to ask, is this for a odexed or deodexed rom? I'll include instructons when i return the file. Also got this when i decompiled your framework-res.apk: "Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/status_bar_item_background_pressed.9.png". Renaming it to *.png". This needs fixing.
Oh im just fixing that file now. must have slipped by.
Villain 2.4.2 is deodexed i believe. Ill just check.
Im going to upload the fixed framework in a min.
Edit : ok .9png fixed. i just tested, decompiles fine.
And its Deodexed.
Thanks again and sorry about the mess up.
No problem.

Boot recovery (volume up + home + power). Choose "install zip from sd". Select the zip you downloaded. Select yes. Reboot.

Whoop! Thanks alot. Off I go to flash. Ill let you know how I get on.
edit : small question, does that mean any wallpaper i set will be transparent or only the default one?
Every wallpaper you set using the gallery will have a black background. Haven't found a way to do that yet.

As far as i know every rom without transparent lockscreen support will display a black background that way. Atleast it does on lite'ning 6.1 (which i'm using right now).
ok cool. only problem im having is that it keeps my current lockscreen wallpaper and doesnt revert to the framework one. how do I put it back to the default one?
Browse to /data/data/com.cooliris.media/files and delete or move the current wallpaper file. (Atleast that works for me)
Thanks for the info. Maybe that could go on the first page to avoid confusion.
All working perfectly though. As a transparency maniac I love this!
Now I just need to figure out how to make backgrounds for contacts, mms, settings and phone transparent.
Heres a screenshot, add it to the front page, dont, your call.

[TOOL GUIDE]Xperia Theme Creator

Hi.
I'm writing this guide, because not everyone knows how this Theme Creator from SOONY (Lollipop will be soon) works.
Firstly, download jar file from:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/smartphones-and-tablets/theme-creator/
As we know, u have to have a Photoshop CS6 as minimal requirement.
BUT Adobe give us a 30 day test version (only for home use) for free.
Just register and download tool:
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
In Theme creator we can work with GIMP.
Download the latest version from official site for free.
When you will run theme creator and select new theme,
in destination folder you will have "templates".
-Open one by one with Photoshop CC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-ucheck layers named " hide me":
-Select "File", " Save for web":
-don't change anything and click Save:
-select destination folder in your theme folder and export it:
This is everything where we need Photoshop.
Now u can edit file by file in theme creator using gimp:
-set gimp in advanced settings of image processing:
BUT: If you have weak computer, i've already uploaded package with all files, so all you need is:
-download RESOURCES.rar package,
-unrar it to theme folder,
-no need for photoshop, u can start with editing files one by one in theme creator using GIMP.
\/ RESOURCES.rar \/
http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/4sk6T8tX/file.html
TUTORIAL FOR THOSE WHO USING MY RESOURCES:
1. Download my RESOURCES.rar from the link.
2. Unpack it to directory you want to.
3. Open Theme Creator Beta and Create New project, with complete resources:
4. Open selected in creating new project destination folder and copy all folders from unpacked RESOURCES.rar to theme folder.:
5. Select png with theme creator you want to edit. You can choose with different resolutions (Description: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html):
6. Click "Edit using external tool". For this time, it will be GIMP.
7. Edit your png as you want.
8. When You are done, press File >> Replace file_name.png.
9. Now You can take a look at Theme Creator to see changes.
ATTENTION:
-Never save image file from GIMP in theme folder in .xcf format.
-If you want to save your files with history of editing, select another folder far away from Theme folder.
ATTENTION 2:
-If you will see BIG RED CROSS, then take a look at picture size (px). must be same as original file.
-If you will see BIG RED CROSS and edited file was .9.png, check for absolutely black 1px borders (tutorial for 9.png can be found on xda.)
-If you will see BIG RED CROSS, take a look at theme folders and delete ALL .xcf files...
That's all.
For any question write in comments.
If u like it, click Thanks button.

In 4.4.2. Also possible. You just have to use superuser mod. Install xposed, install xperia xposed, enable superuser mod and reboot! Also for 4.4.4. Stock firmware.
@Krustnesis thank u for this quick guide bro! I was trying the day after the tool became available and had no luck. I will try soon again thanks to this guide! :thumbup:

Boot loader unlock is only needed for flashing custom kernel's. Rooting is possible with locked bootloader. Easiest way should be towelroot https://towelroot.com/

Yes. But Theme Creator is developed by SOONY, and dedicated to non-rooted devices too.
I think that They will be updating their tool for complete customization

@Krustnesis I'm having a hard time figuring out how to change navbar icons. When I open them up in an external edit program, it opens up in Gimp 2.8. Which is fine, then I try to replace with another icon, and then I press export too, and save it over the original. What happens next is that I get a red box with a blue X inside the box on the icon I changed which is not correct. In this case I tried to change the back key to lollipop triangle back key.
My question is, how do I do it using Gimp? Am I saving the file wrong?
BTW: I used the resources you posted.

I will come back to home and will add screens how to save the entire types of files for themer.
When you open any image file, check if it's not .9.png file.
If yes, then remember to add 1px border with black and "empty" pixels (tutorials on xda about .9.png files)
When exporting files, remember to save in theme folder ONLY theme pngs/jpgs, never save in this folder images in gimp format, because theme creator will take it as normal png and will show red X.
