[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] bassie112:
I made a nice black/white theme for the Arc with help of the UOT Kitchen v4, some modding and using the great themes of hansip87 (10-in-1) and like-p (v1.8 mod) as base themes. It's based on the original Arc theme and therefore it doesn't have graphical glitches like a lot of highly customized themes. The theme is compatible with the 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware of the Arc. Arc S and Neo are not supported but may work. Also flashing on a locked bootloader using Xperia CWM Auto-Installer may not work so be warned and make backups! It may also be required to re-login into you Google-account due to replacing of system-files.

WHAT I'VE ADDED/CHANGED:

-Customized selectable/sliding notification area widgets v2b (tnx to sj8023ld and rablex) in black and white with 2G/3G toggle. Widgets can be changed by using the included QuickPanel Settings app.

-CRT on/off animations (tnx to unknown Japanese user).

-Reboot options to CWM, fastboot and normal reboot (tnx to AdamTt, tRippinthehead and Black_jackss) in power-menu.

-Swipe-to-Remove notifications (tnx to ThJap).

-Kill app long-pressing back-button (tnx to kenjidct). Enable under Settings => Apps => Development.

-Media volume stepping in 30 steps instead of 10 (tnx to AndroidON).

-Disabled scrolling cache to improve smoothness while scrolling in list-view (tnx to AndroidON).

-Xperia S style lock-screen (tnx to FlamEmo).

-Increased smoothness of spinners (tnx to D.O.C).

-UOT Kitchen v4 changes: black/white theme, battery icon with percentage, glowing parts, customized notification area, flying animations, bubbles loading circle.

-Customized system-backgrounds. You can choose from 10 system-backgrounds in addition to the default SE themes. Suggestions for new system-backgrounds (at least 960x854 resolution in good quality) are welcome. I will not add more system-backgrounds, but instead I will replace system-backgrounds to not let the size of the package get too big. Choose them under: Settings => Display => Theme. Or don't replace DefaultThemes.apk to have only the default Sony-Ericsson themes.

-ICS boot-animation. Can easily be changed for something else by replacing bootanimation.zip with another custom animation. Or don't copy bootanimation.zip to have the default boot-animation.

-Recompiled .apk files to minimize the file-size.

-Zipaligned .apk files for optimal performance.

SCREENSHOTS:

NOTES:

-The launcher on the screens is GO Launcher EX.

-Widgets on the screens are: Palmary Weather Premium and Aix Weather Widget, Android Pro Widgets, SiMi Clock Pro (Donate), Simple Calendar Widget, Beltegoed Sinopia, GTasks, TrackID™, PlayerPro Music Player.

-Icons and dock background are from Custom Launcher Icons / DroidIcon.

-The original SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware files can be found here (tnx to XperienceD) in case you want to return to the stock theme or want to recover from a bootloop. To recover from a bootloop you can use CWM, also on a locked bootloader using Xperia CWM Auto-Installer. Just replace the files in my CWM package with the original files and flash it to go back to the stock theme. Bootanimation.zip can be deleted manually to have the original SE boot-animation.
