[Q]How Do You Install Custom Android THEMES

XDA,
Just wanted to know how can I, we add themes to our Android builds. For example, this UltraLinx Desire Theme Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736987
I currently have Metamorph, but nothing is working for me. Just wanted to know if anyone is able to add custom themes and how.

misleading title, you shouldve put [Q] instead of [How-to]
but i belive i read that Metamorph does not work on the HD2.

Wrong. Metamorph works for me, but check for each theme their compatibility.
For example, the metamorph theme often need for modding the toolbar, that you have cyanogen (shubcraft hd2 roms for example)
Changing battery icon often didn't need anything special and should work.
For exemple on my shubcraft build :
{
"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"
}
It can be tricky to know what works and doesnt on our distro, so always make a complete titanium backup before, in case your system doesnt boot anymore.

Change the title if you want more people to help you... I thought this was a how to...
I will be posting a how-to on my site soon...
In the meantime, for system themes: simply replace the the drawable-hdpi in framework-res.apk/res with the one from the theme you want. use adb push to put back into the phone.
On my build, since there's no recovery mode where we can safely change system files in use, I had to reset my email accounts and wallpaper settings after this...
no biggie...

Thanks fellaz

metamorph does work
I use the donator version and was able to successfully use the zen theme and a few more themes
however, I have been receiving issues with installing others (eg nextTang for example)
What I've been doing/done that hasn't worked is
I create a file in the root directory of my storage card, make the system folder and copy the theme files to the system (eg app, lib, res)
but my android gets a reboot sequence. It never boots after I apply the theme
I should clarify this is on shub 1.4b cm6 rc3 I tried that method
I also tried editing the htcupdate_leo.tar.gz in which the system file is in (copying the files from there) but I can't boot afterward. The boot splash reloops
any help is super appreciated
edit pongster where in the heck is your site????

Been tryingt to change the ugly stock sense theme all day without luck.
Tried metamorph even the pro version, then to replace files in root framework also creating framework folder in android build folder but nada, the phone will not boot after these tries. Kinda getting the feeling im not getting the right themes. Using darkstones latest.
Any links and howtos on successful theme installs?

with darkstones ROM's and builds you will need to delete the .odex file and the file you are about to push over before you can get it to work right. so in short the steps needed would be.
edit your theme to your liking
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.apk /location/of/file
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.odex /location/of/file
adb shell push nameoffileyouthemed.apk /location/you/deleted/from
adb shell reboot
this should work, but dont blame me if it doesnt.
i take no responsibility. this is simply what works for me when working with builds that have not yet been de-odexed

framework-res.apk does not seem to have a matching odex file. All the jar files have it but not apk.
ill give it a shot anyway.
no luck...
did however find out that placing the framework-res.apk on storage/android/root/system/framework does load it upon boot (saved my last crashed build by placing the original framework-res.apk there).
however have tried several framework-res.apk files from different themes... all of them crash my froyostone buid at the moment....sux :-(

[MOD][Theme]**update** Circular Battery Mod with % for Void/Devoid Y/E - NO FCs!

Circular Battery MOD for Devoid/Void-Y/ECHO
First of all this is not a theme, but a MOD, this is based on GreenDevDroid Ultimate theme for Optimus 1 by giveme13's
Big THANKS and credits goes to:
bestdaniel20 - for making theming possbile for void/devoid
giveme13's for his Ported GreenDevUltimate theme
Ultimate Online Kitchen (for the icons)
I particularly like circular battery with percentages and charging animations, and there are already a lot of themes out there that makes this possible, (see Themes thread) however, i want my status bar to retain the look and feel of the original ROM by Noejn. (i just want the circle battery!)
Managed to achieve this by using a working Theme file as the base (greendevdroid)
Just sharing how i got this far after a lot of poking and reading:
{
"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"
}
Proceed with caution and a warning:
if you do not know what the heck is adb, DONT DO THIS!
if you are clueless on what is happening on the next steps DONT DO THIS!
Here is the mod:
Create a 1st Backup (this is the void/orig backup)
backup current framework-res.apk and lg-res.apk
via adb with usb debugging:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/lge-res.apk
copy and save it somewhere.
Install Ported GreenDevUltimate theme for void
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11289094&postcount=995
++this is done via recovery, toggle signature verify and flash. reboot
After install:
Create a 2nd Backup (this is the GDD backup)
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/lge-res.apk
copy and save it somewhere.
If you like the theme don't do the next items : ^___^
Replace framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk
this is my working copy of framework res, merged with devoid-original and GDD
DL - see attachment - framework-res.apk (devoid-y)
DL - see attachment- lge-res.apk or use your own from backup step1
Replacing the framework:
reboot via recovery
go to mounts -> Mount /system
via adb (adb push your desired framework-res.apk):
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push lge-res.apk /system/framework/
Reboot and hopefully you'll get the same screenshots as mine.
All the frameworks extracted is interchangeable just replace your current framework from backup.
Additional MODS:
Black Ops Green Numbers Battery
DL Attachment: BlackOps-GreenNumBatt.7z
DL Attachment : BlackOPS-Green-Circle-Solid-Colors.7z
Again,
use at your own risk, i am not a coder or a skilled themer, im just posting what worked for me, big thanks to the guys that made it happen @ P500 Android Void thread.
Tested on devoid-y should and if somebody get to test it on echo, ill update the post.
Edit: working on echo, thanks alejoparry
Here is a batch script for framework-res utility by Chris3D @ androidcentral, should come in handy, it uses apktool as the base, very useful check it out:
Code:

Cheers and Enjoy!

awesome.now if someone could make a flashable zip so we don't mess with adb...
anyway it works fine.you can get a standalone copy of adb here
thx zxhian

Thank you very much, worked flawlessly for me with Void Echo

Im not good in working with adb stuff. Can any1 upload it in zip files for easy flash it ?

need to flash first GDD or any other theme to make the framework of void compatible to any customizations, void uses a different folder structure and coding.
flashing the workable theme (GDD) eliminates any fc's on bootup.
the backups are there for their purpose.

I made it. Thanksss a lot! What about the date on status bar? I need a small date on status bar as it is in your picture. If it is out of the topic, send me PM plssss.
Many thanks again

I tried this mod ... I was getting loads of sdcard unmount issue. I have a class 4 card. I then reinstalled void # e, and things are fine now.

Just so it's clear to me:
Replace framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk
this is my working copy of framework res, merged with devoid-original and GDD
DL - see attachment - framework-res.apk (devoid-y)
DL - see attachment- lge-res.apk or use your own from backup step1
I'm running void #echo, but I should still download the 7z file, replace framework-res.apk (which was merged with devoid) and push using adb. Correct?
Thanks for your time and effort!

zxhian, u made my day man! I love it!!

need to extract the 7z file first and merge the framework, assuming you have installed GDD first.

Awesome, thanks so much! Loving the new battery icon, it was the only thing missing from void ROM.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App

pushing these files to void echo lost my phone contacts.. how did that happened?

so can someone make this a zip that i can flash for my void delta? thank you! :]

Heya mate
Sry n00by question, but could you specify what to do with your zip? There're three folders and I'm clueless on a sunday night...
Cheers

Nice mod
I'm using void #delta and how can I apply the green circular battery in the 1st picture without having to install the GreenDev theme?

hi zxhian, many thanks for the great tutorial
I also like the void standard themes but I want the powermenu and circular battery.
I edited your framework, replaced the status bar icon set (but I leave the circular battery as it is) with MIUI-style icon set from UOT kitchen, and used the ginger themed notification button (lge-res.apk) by ahmadfarisfs instead of yours... I also add the flip animation to the framework (also from UOT)
now my void really looks like what I want and it's all thanks to you

Possibly a stupid question inbound...
what happens if i flash this to the stock LG rom?

1. The flashable zip files containing the actual launcher and SE widgets(Download here)
2. Terminal emulator(free from market)
3. Executable script to modify build.prop(Download here)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the executable script(AKA "build") is placed in the root(meaning the base) of your SD card.
2. Using terminal emulator, input this command.(press enter after each line)
Code:

SMALL WARNING:
No undo.zip as of now, so if you're kind of fidgety on what's in your phone, stay away for now. But, if you have basic knowledge in removing system files, just fiddle with the zip file and you'll know exactly what to remove.
Bugs(help needed):
-app drawer button is placed a little bit high
-photo and video widget may present some errors
Thanks to cygnus of samdroid.net. Click here to visit the original thread

funny, that shouldn't happen. try to re-download. this time I uploaded the one I actually used on my phone.

i am currently using se launcher (for xperia) how is it different with that? Also app drawer button is not high for my launcher.

This launcher sucks. App Drawer doesn't show all apps.

good work man ! but the timescape font is HUGE!
looks ugly :/

it wieked on CM 7.0.2 )
i flashed this archive into recovery
and before i changed this string in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
to
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

That's exactly the same procedures as the 1st post.
the downloadable "build" script will automate the build prop change needed, while the SE_timescape.zip is a signed(edify) version of SEUX.zip.
About the fonts, YEP they're ugly alright(as you can see on my screenies) I wasn't really planning to use timescape but I really wanted the photo and video widget to work. So if anyone can help here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Another thing, I wanted to use the SE launcher from this thread but was unsuccessful. Again, if anyone can help out, please do.
Even though it has a few bloats, I still like this launcher(+ photo widget and folders - really cool). I also think it's really fast. I don't have much time to tinker right now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know where you're getting at but trust me, both files are one and the same(only difference is with the update scripts which can be fixed by toggling signature verification). Anyways I've re-uploaded the SE_timescape.zip which is now compatible with all optimus one recoveries.
Have you tried the large photo widget? Did it work for you?
BTW, here's a screenie of the pinch gesture, really nice:

sorry sir, but for apk installer section, what's used for?
can you explain little bit?

Was actually kind of hoping to use this but the download is no longer there. Has this been abandoned?

There's a small mistake that i noticed. In line 59 of Debloat.bat,

should probably be

Btw, great tool, thanks!!!

It doesn't work as expected. Speech recognition and responses are very cool, but the app gets stuck almost every time after the first response. :-(

Samsung Galaxy S III S Voice leaked and if you have ICS rom in your phone then you can test of S Voice. S Voice has the promise to be one of the better voice command options for Android as compare to iphone siri
It's unclear what devices can and can't run the app right now. So far so you can take a chance to test it and report it at comment section
you can also install it by
1. Unrar the file and copy the apk file
2. Copy to system/app folder
3. Change permission to rw-r-r
restart phone.
• You MUST HAVE ICS ROM.
• If the apk is giving you parsing error then move the apk under data/app and set permission via Root Explorer or something as,

To Fix EDIT MOD :
To fix the network error, edit two lines in the build.prop to add GT-I9300
The 2 lines should look like the following:
ro.product.device=GT-I9300
ro.product.model=GT-I9300

you can try else you have to copy app in system /app

I got it installed, placed in the system/app folder. Changed the build.prop files. I still get a DC after asking it to call someone.
Any ideas or thoughts on getting it to stop fc-ing? Also I find this weird, I had 45% power before hand. Now I'm at 17%. Check out the drop in my screenshoot.

2B. Extract "libsvoxtts.so" from \lib\armeabi\
2C. Transfer both these files to your ICS device or you can push via adb
3A. Copy the voicetalk.apk (i tested with this name) to /system/app
3B. If there no space, remove some apks not required pref by Titanium Backup
3C. Copy the voicetalk.apk with say ES Explorer or via ADB PUSH
3D. Change permission of voicetalk.apk to rw,r,r
3E. Press and hold >> Properties >> Change (ES Explorer)
3F. Copy the libsvoxtts.so to /system/lib (do check this is required or not)
4A. Edit build.prop (with build.prop Editor or manually)
4B. Edit property ro.product.device with value GT-I9300
4C. Edit property ro.product.model with value GT-I9300
5A. Restart Phone

5C. I saw during setup trying to change Hi Galaxy to your own command crashed the app.
