[MOD][CM9][System background][Dialer Background][MOD][SGS2] - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

This is my first attempt at a MOD for a ROM. It is for CM9 and is an abstract background for the system menus. It wont work if you use a theme from the theme chooser in CM9
DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!
I have only tested it on SGS2 CM9 Nightly 706 so far.
I am going to look at changing the background for the dialer too and also will include other abstract backgrounds when I become a bit more au fait with how to do it.
EDIT: Added dialer background
EDIT: Added another
Thanks to Gabowinter for his tutorial

How can I change the background manually?
I've found the background_holo_dark.png in framework but neither Solid or Root explorer won't let me copy the file for backup before I replace it.

ICS Messaging APK!

So I just found this in the market! I know tons of people have been waiting for this!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mms.ics.ext&rdid=com.mms.ics.ext&rdot=1&pli=1
ICS Messaging App!
Here is the apk for a dev who wants to try and modify to remove the ads and section for ads. It will not decompile correctly with 2.3.x framework so may require 4.0 framework.
http://db.tt/P96sfM9h
I downloaded it and I see no ads or space for the ads ... hmmm ... maybe cause Im using Adaway?
Once we,get it inverted, it will be tits! Thanks!

Yes that's what I want to do, I would personally use it white as is but want to remove the ads then a light & dark version.

Yes if your ROM or you have an adfree program you will not see the ads but you WILL see the white space on the main message list above the compose and search icons on the bottom bar. That space should be totally gone or transparent.
Checked it out. I thought it would be a nice addition to Overstews ICS Theme but I prefer the ICS version in the theme. Thanks to all who worked on that amazing theme for all their hard work.

Dam that looks real nice! Is that the one from the thread? How did you get it to decompile correctly or what tools did you use if so. Although that looks like an actual ICS device from the screenshot lol. If you did get it modded please share!
Ok so I got it decompiled with only 1 error but I can't get it to compile correctly. I know where to remove the ads from showing on the list as well as the colors. Hoping I can get it to compile!

[Request] for [Theme] White S -> modified for Ace

Hi everybody,
have been given this excelent theme, available for Sony phones theme.
Yeah, its working on the Ace too, but there are some fixes to be made.
Biggest one is the statusbar, when pulled down, the symbols are active when inactive and vise versa. Definitly not that good thing
Beside that, some other things could be changed for better visibility.
See my pictures
For me this is the best white theme so far, cause its the first one making the menu white too!
So, here you find White S Theme and here my pics.
Would be awesome if someone would finaly make this thing role on our Ace

No, it wont work properly on all ROMs. For example, if you take framework from DXKT7 for theming, and a person using XWKT7 flashes the theme, then he will lose all 43 languages present in XWKT7 and will be left behind with just 6 or 7. Moreover, theming DDKQ8 isnt easy.

Help with my theam.

OK so I'm trying to learn how to them but I a little stuck. OK so I opened framework. A pk then all the drawables made all my changes. I changed the dialer the text select and all of the top icons like batt status and a whole bunch of stuff. Then i made a zip. Of the framework folder and the meta.inf but it would trybtp install the ROM. So I had to re flash my ROM. Then what I did was I took the meta.inf from another theme. And made that into a zip along with my framework folder. This made some of the changes that I made but not all of them. For ex didn't change the batt colors. But it changed the dialer. Didn't change non of the toggles at the top but it changed the pop up browser... Help plzz.

A ROM's updater-script is a lot different than a themes. The reason it failed is because a ROM's script checks for certain files before flashing (such as the kernel, certain apps, etc...). When it saw your zip didn't have it, it aborted the flash.

Wow, didn't know I was known here lol. I accidentally came here. I meant to go to T-Mobile s2 but came to s3 lol. Glad I could help anyway. I wouldn't mod a ROM's updater-script.

Well the theme you posted a link to replaces the full apk files. In some cases the apks can be firmware specific. And I can promise you Verizon has some hackery going on where replacing your current apks with one from the international ones will mess things up, boot loop, no status bar, etc...
As for the Kalagas theme, it uses VR theme, which when flashing in a nut shell only replaces the images inside of YOUR apk on your phone. It does not replace the full apk like the theme you posted does.
Make sense?

[REQ] MB4 Mods - Transparent Widgets - Ink - Themes

I just flashed MB4 and it seems my transparent Music Player zip, I was using on earlier ROMs doesn't work anymore. Also I wondering; has anybody has taken a crack at Google Keep's widget yet? And last but not least, I use Precious Metals Price Widget and was hoping somebody could tell me (or do it for me. please!) how to get full transparency for it's background. Thanks in advance, any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Any other MB4 related mods are welcome too, like pen-free ink on lock screen, compatible themes etc.
1. The transparent Music Widget from the Alexander Theme thread works!
2. I found a transparent Google Keep in a thread in the S3 forums. The widget is transparent but the actual notes still use the built in colors.

Nope, flashed the transparent zip, added the widget and it works fine. Maybe try clearing the app data or caches. You can also make sure the file permissions are correct, or just fix permissions from recovery.
