[IDEA] Has Anybody Tried It?

Credit goes to auni for giving the idea.
As we all know that the DefaultThemes.apk in xperia arc (dont know about others) contains 7 themes. My friend auni wanted to increase this count to 10-12.So i have been working on it from past 3 days and unfortunately am not getting any success as its the first time am trying such thing.
Am able to edit the xml and smali files properly but its the recompiling thing thats creating the problem (as far as i think).
My question here is that has anybody tried doing this thing, i mean i have heard people talking about it but has anyone actually did this in real, cause that might help me a bit!
Here is what i do...
1. Decompile DefaultThemes.apk using apktool
2.Edit the res folder and android manifest file
3.Recompile the file (using apktool offcorse) but something unusual happenes everytime i try it, still i get the files.
4. Push it using adb without signing it as its a system app.
Sometimes it work...but the files i added or modded won't be there.

More backgrounds...as in more themes to apply? Can you please post the link of the thread?
[Edit] its just the system background...number of themes are same as that in the stock apk!

A lot of stock apps as well as core .jar files in the framework folder depend on the Default Themes. I reckon it is not possible to increase the number of themes without breaking something else, if at all. And it is not really necessary as we can only use one theme at a time after all.

You are right about using one theme at a time...but imagine if its possile, m a guy who keeps on changing the theme every now and then. And changing the res folder eveytime i need new themes is something i wanna skip! Am curiois how things work in my phone as its the first time i havr dared to do something like this! I read somewhere on xds written that everything is possible...! Thanks for enlightening, will get my hands on the framework tooo! B-)

I too want to believe everything is possible, it's the very core of XDA community.
However, Sony has done quite the changes on Android. The disappointing part is, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk (the Sony framework) cannot be decompiled and recompiled correctly until we have the Sony UXP sources, which is very unlikely to happen ever. I am not suggesting you give up, just preparing you for the most possible outcome.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have tried to include an extra transparent theme to Theme Manager but it was a dead end. I ended up working around it rather than on it.

You might be the first to get it right though!
You need to focus in decompiling and recompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk successfully before doing anything because this is the SE framework and Theme Manager is controlled by it, not framework-res.apk.
Other files of interest would be framework.jar, probably android.policy.jar and maybe core.jar. Also Conversations, InfiniteView, TimeScape and their extensions are affected. Good luck!

@Varun: I believe Flow95 was referring to this theme. This thread.
Black & White Theme
This one indeed contains 14 themes in total. 7 are SONY's stock themes and 7 other are added by the developer. Thanks to Dev. Great work.
But there are many other files were included as iridaki mentioned.
And I tried only the DefaultThemes.apk from the B&W package, it didn't worked. I can only access the Stock themes. Other themes were not accessible. For that i believe i need to flash many other files that were included in the package.

A Plea For Sanity: Samsung ICS Roms

I'd like to begin this rant with a disclaimer.
I am not an Android developer, or a Linux enthusiast, or an expert of any kind. All I am is a keen Android user (Since the HTC Desire) who loves customising my phone.
I am EXTREMELY grateful for all the hard work of the people who know more than I do (Developers, Rom chefs, etc) and I mean them no offense.
They are the ones who make buying an Android phone worthwhile, and this community relies on them.
Now, here it is: Why, Why, Why, can't we have a custom rom with the stock Samsung look?
There are some excellent custom roms out there, offering reduced size, performance improvements, improved customisation ability: The likes of RocketRom, MidTeam, Criskelo, and so on.
But every single one of them has a mismatched, ugly, patchwork of a theme, with elements of AOSP ICS, Galaxy S3, and god knows what else.
Many of them slap a black and blue status bar ontop of the Samsung framework, which clashes and looks horrible.
MidTeam used to have a zip file to restore the stock theme, which was great, (Thanks Maxicet!) but this has been dropped from the current version.
Please, I beg you, developers:
Please give us an option to keep the stock Samsung look on our ICS roms.
Or if you are going to do a theme for your rom, at least make it consistent, like the Galaxy SIII look.
Leave the theming to the people that know aesthetics, and keep doing what you do best: Making great Android roms.
Thankyou very much

A stock custom rom would be great! Some ROMs have those elements that I really don't like (for example an ugly statusbar).
But wrong section dude

Ah yes, I just realised this should probably be in the 'General' Section.

1) wrong section mate.
2) there is AlBa ROM which is stock look and feeling.

I think this is the right place for that discussion! I need too custom rom without theme modification! Except ugly looking theme, this modifications come with many problems with some programs, since they change core things in the operation system!

Hi,
I've got rooted lpy ROM with 15 toggle status bar, s3 touchwiz 5*5, Franco r6 overclocked with tegrak and it's brilliant

Definitively Alba ROM is what you need!

Stock samsung UI is ****, but I also hate clock on the center, like on Criskelo ICS ROM. I prefer stock android style UI. This option must be at all ROMs, and official stock too.

place a request for checkrom developer

Agreed, we need good look custome Rom.

there is StockLook Theme for Rocket ROM also....just the bettery icon is customized and of course the 15 toggle (but also in Stocklook)....and:
with really MINOR knowledge everyone can build a complete stocklook with NO theming modifications at all!!!!!!!! If you are not able to do yourself, start a request in theming section - this is 5 minute work to do complete stocklook

if i might just make a quick statement,
the rom by the devs were designed to the way they want it. not to how the public wants it. it was made specifically for themselves for their own usage but were kind enough to share their work for us here on xda.
for us to use.
u can put in some requests on how the theming or looks should be done, and it would be entirely up to them if they want to attend to those requests or not.
i'm no developer and hence i cant complain what i didnt pay for but instead got it for free.
they could've easily exercise the option of "if u dun like it, dun use it".

Cassies xlr rom is stock look
But in all fairness if you dont see summin you like.
Spend 5 hours reading on google and build your own. As eyebee said its not that hard to do and very satisyfying

some people open threads instead of at least looking inside the ROM descriptions (or pics inside!!!)....or they could kindly ask inside the ROM threads for wanting complete stocklook....but hey, why? It is more easy to start demanding before reading...

I don't agree with you. This is manufactors, who don't care about customers and their opinion. ROM developers making ROMs first of all for us, not for money. We can donate them if we like their work and can ask to add/change something in the ROM. Too bad we can't do the same for manufactors.

Rom cooks make the ROMs for themselves (at least me and most of the other ones i know)...but they like to share their work and of course you are welcome to ask for additional features inside the threads - and not open an extra one.....

ya bro the keyword here is donate. not sell.
if the rom devs were like manufacturers, they'd sell it to u for a fee. but in this case, the rom devs willingly share their hardwork to you without asking for a single cent. the donation part is totally optional.
there is no legal contract binding here. and i will say it again, rom devs do not make roms for us. they make it for themselves but are very much willing to share it with us.

This thread is totally out of place and mind. Reported.

This app works out great on ICS. Nothing to report. Just my opinion: It gets boring after sometime... sry if it hurt you.

The post may be referring to PlayStore compatibility.
Unfortunately I receive an incompatible message on HTC Sensation. (Android 4.0.4).
It looks like a great LWP though. Thanks for the share.

Hi there,
Just some feedback for you.
I've just installed this on SGS2 with no problems at all using a 212 dpi screen resolution. (Hdpi).
Great start! There's a lot of Minecraft fans out there, so the potential is huge.
Cheers.

Its fine on my S2.
My sensation has a screen resolution of 540×960.
It could well be that the Rom at the time may of needed a Market Fix.
Bear with me, I'll try with another Rom that's now installed.
Cheers.
P.s, I've gave a playstore rating also.

OK yes it's fine.
I was running a CM9 nightly at the time, but now it's downloaded just fine with another build.
For reference I've downloaded it twice at different resolutions, 240 ,212 with no issues.
On a side note, check out this game:

It's not just an ordinary Minecraft clone. Highly recommended, and definitely one to watch.
Good luck, I'll keep my eyes on this thread.

Or use any simple ad service and create your own unlock content after clicking an ad. i made a crappy one before but ditched it... got alot of hate mail and comments

I went to install this, but then realized: why does it need the following permissions?
- Coarse (network-based) location
- Fine (GPS) location
- Read phone state and identity
This looks like a fine app, and I would like try it out and help with its development. However, I do not want my privacy invaded. It's a live wallpaper. It shouldn't need these permissions. The only reason why I think you would need these permissions is if the ad-providing plugin required them, in which case I'll skip on this app. Please remove these permissions.

You need to be verified that that works

For having the theme editor from that link, meaning officially, you have to prove that you're a good designer and some of your works, in order to let Samsung "graphic team" to decide if you're worthy to became a "themer" and to download their tool.
I've tried several times last year, when I had the S7, and even if I've made some best and most downloaded HTC themes, even if I'm a graphic designer, even if I've proven my skills...they've always rejected my request...
No matter if in the Samsung Store most of the themes are ABSOLUTELY S*IT (sorry to say that, but hey...just take a look at the 80% of the themes out there...I mean...just take a look and tell by yourself) and finding one or two themes worthy of download is like finding an oasis into a desert...
Sad about that...just hope that SUBSTRATUM will soon cover the entire Samsung system theming module...THIS will be the real deal...

agreed..hw the hell they approve all the theme in the market...

all the designs on the store are from Samsung. they make it look like there are other designers but its only so it doesnt look like a monopoly. or they source from a third party company.

Yeah there's a lot of crap in there. I like a lot of Hiten Soni stuff. Nebu UI is my go to with Swift Black taking care of a lot of user apps.

DD S8.... that's all you need to know

Did anyone ever find a download for this? Samsung's application process is screwed to say the least. Some of their allowed themes are complete trash, but they block people from being able to create better ones.

I can't get it
New version 5.0.50

any source
for 5.0.50

share it please the old one can't support 7.0

I agree most I see in there are crap that you even have to pay for. I tried also. Have a cool Ninja theme with cool icons and everything and still can't get approved.
I do think though they look at image optimization which is still not the best even with those that have been approved.
Better to just find a download somehow. I doubt though you will find anyone willing to blow their own access to make it available to all.

Created .apk just wallpaper, but the phone do not see new wallpaper when i install .apk . Friends, someone can help? Where am I wrong?

Create a theme with the old program than change the api in the xml with apk editor to 26 maximum 19 minimum and install it on your phone then move the xml file from trialjson to userjson

Anybody still using Xperia XA?

I was thinking of porting some fantastic roms to this phone but I need to know if people are still using it or not?
As for me, I use it because I don't have money for another phone and I don't really need one(I'm a student).
So, yay or nay?

Yay. Something AOSP or Pixel Expierience like would be great. Not saying Sony has a heavy skin, but I just love the stock android style.

I'm still using it and looking at the current market, I'm not at all interested in buying a new phone in the near future.

Yes, here we are a lot waiting for a soul who takes this heavy charge

I'm still using this phone and waiting custom rom for a long time. rom like aosp would be great.:good::good::good:

I have sent my phone for repair, once I receive it. I'll work on porting roms

Carbon was my favorite custom ROM altogether...right now everything remotely to cyanogen mod, really stripped free of Google, Sony or any other pre-installed (bloat)ware would be a blessing. My personal wish list includes:
- modify grid layout of status icons
- data rate (like KB/s) monitor/indicating symbols for in- and output packets
- killing apps by holding (or double tap) 'back' button
- terminal and please, a very very simple & standard file explorer app
did I say YAY, already?
