Need some help or guide to create or modify the MM theme or the stock theme of the device. Not device theme editor that you can install on the phone.i want to use an app for windows or something to create a theme or modify. I want to make stock theme but with amoled black settings menu, dailer, msg etc. Basicly i want to make the white menus black on all the stock apps and settings... Any links or guidance please
.hwt are Huawei Theme Files that you can simply unzip with 7zip and modify and then recompress after youre done. I suggest you get a heavily modded .hwt and a stock one and then in the modded one you can see what goes where and change things in the stock one. Just repack it with 7zip and you can just place the .hwt in the HWThemes folder and enjoy it.

If any of them could be changed the color you want. http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/64009-droiddoespink-rom.html Here is the link to it. How could I go about changing the color to something i want? or is this not possible? Sorry if this a noob question lol

all you have to do is change the corresponding png files in the framework-res.apk
its found under /system/frameworks
lets pretend i dont know how to do that...
unzip the rom
find the framework-res.apk under system/frameworks
change apk to zip
unzip
edit the png files for whatever suits your taste
zip the files back up
rename to framework-res.apk
push that to your phone and reboot
awesome thanks ill see what i can do
when i zip them back up what settings should i use i tried to flash and it said cant open
you dont flash it
adb remount
adb push *new framework-res.apk* /system/framework
Actually got it working thanks!
So, i've been trying this for a while. It's not working. Are there any special settings I need to use to zip it? When I reboot the phone it just hangs on the androids on skateboards.
make sure you do exactly what is said and you name the file framework-res.apk and it switches to an apk file. i had trouble here but one you get that right it works great
here's what I did.
1. unzipped the CELB2.4 rom
2. went to /system/framework and renamed the framework-res.apk to a .zip
3. extracted the .zip
4. modified the .png's
5. renamed the framework-res.zip back to a .apk
6. booted my phone into recovery and in a terminal ran
./adb shell mount /system
./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
I tried the remount command and it doesn't work while in recovery
*Edit: just looked at the framework-res.apk file again. Although it says it's a .apk, it still acts and looks like a .zip without the .zip extension. What's going on?*

heres what i did...
create a new folder and put the framework-res.apk in there
archive it
open it up (dont extract)
you will see new folder open that
you will then see "framework-res.apk.zip"
take off the .zip extention and it will then become an apk file
extract it then push it to your phone

I can make an update.zip of that pink theme, or if you send me the rom update.zip you want to integrate it into, I can do that. Always happy to help.
you don't need to change the .apk to .zip it will open just like a zip file. easiest way is to drag and drop the edited png's back into the framework-res.apk without extracting it. I made the droiddoespink rom way back when and to be honest its probably a little outdated. I did update it with overclock and apps2sd though I think but if you are trying to change the colors to something else I would reccomend you start with a stock rom. You don't want to make everything orange and then have a pink highlight pop up somewhere. Also in sense based roms there are some png's in the htcresources.apk too. And to theme the dialer htcdialer.apk and phone.apk.

true.
the instructions i gave are how to do it on mac 10.4
I find that 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ is most helpful in this type work in that allows you to open the .apk "archive" files
Hope this helps
do i need to resize the png's because when i edit them and when i push the file to my phone it shows up that i edited it but its not one big edited picture its a whole bunch of small ones.. im thinking i need to resize the png's to the size of my phonne

try resizing the edited files to what the unedited files originally were
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, Thanks Conap, you're the man! That did the trick for me. I had to not extract the .apk just open it with archive manager and drag and drop the files/folder. White and red here we come!

I really like the taskbar in the Shadow Frost rom version 1.4. However I really want it on sense roms. I need the black taskbar with the blue battery and other blue icons. Can someone point me in the direction of where to find a flashable zip for this taskbar.
Shokouhi
when you download the rom you want, just open it with winrar, don't extract it. then go to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file and open it with winrar. DON'T close any of the zips you opened.
then open shadowfrost 1.4 and go again to /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, open it with winrar again.
now drag and drop the files from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder from shadowfrost into framework-res.apk from the rom you want to flash. this way you'll replace all files.
take a look first at the file statusbar_background.png to have the same name and not statusbar_background.9.png.
now close all zips/apks, it will ask to update the files, click yes and flash your rom
I tried doing this to Jason .22 blur rom and after doing this it will not boot so I must flash a different rom. The files must be incompatible. I would just like his taskbar in a zip do you know how to do this?
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to change the colour of the selection colour in Stock Android (I think it's already Green in Sense Roms)? But in Stock it's Orange, I want to know if there's a way to change it to Green?
I'm guessing i just need to alter a colour code in some xml file somewhere but absolutely no idea where to start looking!
Cheers
Paul
Its in the framework-res.apk in the /system/framework folder. There are png files that you need to edit.
Use APK Manager 4.9 to decompile the file, then edit with Photoshop and compile the file again.
Make a flashable CWM zip file and flash it.
Search on the board for the how-to's.

Extract cyanbread.apk from the rom zip

Do what ever mods you want making sure you select ldpi
flash the zip given by kitchen once done
then open Theme chooser app in cm7

You don't - you can only use the Icons on kitchen
if you want to use yours just make a theme on kitchen as explained with any Icons then extract the apk with winrar & replace any pngs you want with yours - zip back up & flash

If they are not named the same as what you are replacing you will have to rename them all manually - the battery is only the number that is different so you can copy & paste most the name & just add number
Dear brothers :
I installed a custom ROM for my phone samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360
Dedicated Roman Information :
ROM Name:
Hyperion - Titan of the East
Build number:
Hyperion.DXLF2
I did not like the icons
How do I change the entire Icons
You experience a number of applications such as :
ICON CHANGER PRO
Did not do any good
Mentioned application does change the icons and put a shortcut on the desktop
I do not want this
I want to change application icons on the home screen
How so .?
Decompile the application you want to change the icon of with apk tool
You can see what the icon name is in the Android manifest
The icon itself will be located in res/drawable-ldpi
An easier way might be to download an icon pack (search the theme section)
Then open the Flashable zip & find the app name you are looking for - open that folder & put the image you want in there replacing the image in the folder (rename your image to match the one you are replacing)
Then flash it in cwm with system mounted

download that icon pack
open it with winrar or any other unzipper
goto the unpack folder
in there you will find a list of folders that relate to the applications - eg Calendar
open the res folder and replace the image in there with the one you want making sure your image has the same file name as the one you are replacing
once done delete any folders to apps you dont want to replace
flash the zip in cwm with system mounted

you will need to be rooted
you can unzip the zip with any unzipper and rezip once done
you then flash the zip in cwm with system mounted
the rom will need to be de-odexed

I'm guessing you didn't mount system before flashing the zip
Remember you also need to be rooted & most likely need to be deodexed (most custom roms are already)

Read all my previous posts - I can't make it clear other than to say root - mount system in cwm - then flash zip
Change what ever images you want inside the zip keeping file names the same
If you can't understand - I'm sorry I cannot help you
