Theming entire Android system? - General AOKP Discussion

Hello guys,
Im building a custom rom which will be pure kitkat base on AOSP and will be name Bleach Xtreme. The problem is that for me to make it original and unique I need to theme it in white instead of any Black from kitkat. I like to see something different and unique. How can I archive theming to white the status bar, navigation background and same for the System Settings, SystemUI like popups etc and few system apps like calculator, etc?
I can use the help and willing to donate if ask or need it.
Thanks

Anyone have some time to guide? I see my concept was already stole on a new rom. Lol

Try using XPOSED Framework with XBLAST TOOLS and/or the Frame work.apk
Not much of a Dev but I know a Lil bit

Well the problem is that i know how to do that. I want to theme manually the framework-res.apk, Settings.apk and the systemui.apk. I want to theme the rom itself.
Thanks very much for your help

Theme Choser for Jellyshot

Hi everyone.
As no one on the rom thread want to help me, I'm asking here.
Could someone tell me how to add Theme Choser to this rom ? It may take ressources but I don't care, I want a nice phone.
Thanks.

It's not that they won't tell you, it's that you won't be able to do it, because it will take you a year to do it, even more so if you don't know crap to smali.
Theme chooser isn't only an APK you install. It's hours of modifications to framework.apk, systemui.apk and other programs that can get modded by themes (now contacts.apk and mms.apk)
It's just simpler taking CM base and building your own rom from it rather than taking an existing AOSP based rom and trying to merge in theme chooser.
HOWEVER, for the not so faint of heart but nowhere as hard as integrating theme chooser, you can simply mod the graphics of the rom permanently. Many people have done so quite successfully here, for example with rasbeanjelly rom.

[Q] cm 10 un stock

Hi, i have stock v20d rom i want it to look like cm10, but i dont want to install cm10, there are available any framework-res.apk which looks like CM ?
you can try xposed framework its a root app to make mods without really touching your system files or modding them well u can read more about this awesome tool here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then with the framework installed you should download some modules(apk) in your case you would like to have xthemeengine module
its like having theme chooser in cm but for stock look for it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240180 also there is a lot of info about it you may read
then you can download themes or port them by yourself or maybe in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240180 they can also port the theme for you
if you have the time read the above thread and you fill find some cool ported themes like me
im using crystal blue 2 ported theme

Yeah, there was a thread in the Dev discussion that resolved compilation issues. Im using the general JB theming stuff I have on hand to play around with things, but I was also worried when someone mentioned that Samsung did some major changes to SystemUI in this update.

[Q] can i install a theme for cm7 on a custom rom

Hi guys i am fairly new here so i can nott ask the question on the relevant dev thread
i recently installed the: [ROM][CM7.2][RC4] Reincarnation Rom Series v.5 | Touchwiz Nature UX Edition [20/03/2014] onto my galaxy y
i would like to know if it is possible to install a CM7 theme straight on top of this ?
i really have no idea and i would appreciate some guidance
cheers BZ
you can install any theme chooser theme (most ldpi/mdpi themes will work - dont try hdpi only themes or higher)
there are loads on xda and the google playstore
just install and then apply the theme with the theme chooser app that already comes with cm7
Thank you Marcus for your help and fast response
i appreciate it
After having a look through the app drawer and the settings it would seem that i have no theme chooser in this Rom
unless it is hidden somewhere or has been removed for stability maybe, i really don't know :/
any ideas are appreciated
BZ

some custom roms may remove it or hide it from launcher and place it in rom settings instead
look in system/app with a root browser
you should have
ThemeChooser.apk
ThemeManager.apk
if not you can try installing them with system app installer (playstore) or push to system and set permissions to rw-r-r and restart
iv included them in the attachment
if they dont install you will have to change to bieltv cm7 and not use port or custom versions
Thank you again m8
if it wasn't for your guidance i'd be lost completely
much appreciated
they were not installed
so i followed what you said and installed them, and now i can easily change the themes, yay
thank you again m8 for your help and and knowledge :good:

[Q] Want to theme phone

Not sure if this is the right place or not, but I just got my s5 tonight and I would like to theme it a bit by changing some icons. On my old phones, I would just pull framework res or sysUI and replace the pngs I wanted to, then push it back to the phone. It does not look like that is an option since it looks like most everything is qmg now. Should I use Samsung theme designer or do custom roms play nicer with custom themes? I am rooted, but I have not installed safestrap or a rom yet.
Check out themes n apps section.. or search for an app on xda called qmg2png. It'll convert qmg to png for editing
