Are there any tools for PC that make easier to create an EMUI theme?
I'd want to see the result during the creation without having to install the theme on my device.
It takes too much time to create a theme and you don't know if you'll like it when is finished!
Thanks for answering me!

i have been working on the theme for a while and so i decided to release it for the competition, i will be making edits to it as people suggest but i will not release the edited version until after the results are in for the comp. i know of a few things i need to fix, but i had to get this thing to dooshty before the end of the comp and hadn't gotten to those few things. please let me know what you think, this is my second official theme releases, but my first was a custom one made for a single member and so i didn't put a whole lot of work into it. this is a more complete theme with most of the icons replaced and a few other tweaks this i like, hope you vote for this to win the comp

you will need to rename it to update.zip rather than update_signed.zip
ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.
Here is my current theme and widgets
well apparently i cant post outside links so i will have to add them later here is the album to them thou

+1, I have had a hard time finding enough info to make me comfortable to start editing the 100 or so .pngs in drawable-hdpi.
hey New to the xda fourms but looking for some information about skinning I got a few questions which I've trolled over xda very little and some other sites that never directly point me in the direction I'm looking to go. I have worked with linux is in the past. ex puppy linux which I was very fond of for user information about anything to do with puppy. but I have just learned from trial and error . anyways my questions are as follows.
1.I'm wanting to build a skin for rcmix 3d ver.4 creating sense 3.5 New look and feel while changing icons for a list of apps besides the skin and sense,how do I go about changing icons/skins in apps I download?
2. what programs do I need to take on this task?
3. I am currently not using linux,using windows7 to do this, is this going to matter? or should I switch to a linux based os?
in the end all I wanna do is change the bling appel of my phone with my own custom look not someone else's idea. a basic point in the right direction would be a big help. I my even post some skins to add to the dhd world.thanks in advance.

If you want to get away the easy way, then:
1. Download rom of your choice (.zip format)
2. Extract framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from that zip file (you'll have to look in the data folder).
3. Go to UOT kitchen and go to file upload tab and then select "upload system files" then upload the ones you've just extracted.
4. Once they are uploaded, you can browse through all the tabs and select things of your choice.
5. When you're finished selecting, go to Sumery tab and cook your files.
6. Wait for 5-10 minutes then go to pickup tab and you should have your .zip ready for that specific rom
7. Flash the .zip
8. Enjoy!
Note: For every rom, the framework and systemui.apk is different so for every different rom you'll have to extract those files from .zip file of that rom
hey thanks,I have been looking at that kitchen cooking but I'm looking for a more manual approach at doing things. can I do that same step guide but manually skin it myself?
how do I manually recompile after I'm done?
I have been creating icons for a little over a week with gimp on windows on free time with a theme in mind looking for more of a one of a kind idea and then maybe adding themes to the dhd network after I get a handle on it, so looking to create theme packs. I been trying to do it with a few apps but I can't get the icons out of the apps to show up when I pull it apart so I figure I'm missing something I would need to go about doing my work. am I missing extensions I need to complete this?

To change the icons in downloaded apps you will need to decompile the apps apk then change out the icon in the app, them recompile. Mind you it will get replaced again when the app updates. A search would lead you to many themeing tuts on XDA
Hello,
I would like to know how I would go about porting this TWRP theme from the HTC One X to our phone! Any help is appreciated! And not I'm not asking for someone to do it for me, but if you know how to do it I'd appreciate that too!
Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942309
Thank in advance!
To port this theme you will have to modify the code in the .xml file within the .zip. It's not as easy as just simply changing the 1280x720 pixel resolution code to 800x480 pixels (just tried, ahaha). You'll have to modify the codes that links to the particular images being used so that it would resize properly, problem is that there are alot that needs to be changed.
I would do it for you, but I wouldn't know where to start as it would be my first time to work on a theme for TWRP. It would be better to ask the original creator of the theme if they can do it for you or perhaps pass his/her knowledge to you.
Hi people,
I wanted to let everyone know that Sony release a theme creator with templates and its pretty easy to use!
So post your newly build theme(s) in this topic so everyone can enjoy them
1: Download Java for free and install it on your computer. You must have a 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 7 or higher installed on your computer to run Theme Creator.
2: Download Theme Creator
3: Unzip the downloaded file, theme-creator-v0_7_0-beta.zip into a directory on your hard drive. After unzipping, you should have a file called theme-creator.jar in the directory
4: Double click on the theme creator jar file and the program will start.
For a how-to tutorial you can read it all here https://developer.sony.com/develop/smartphones-and-tablets/theme-creator/get-started/
I'm already working on a nice theme and will post it later when it done!
