Yes, eventually I'll update all CM themes to work with the New Theme Engine.
[Android Themes] whoamigriffiths:
I'm in agreement with you.

Love the theme too but perhaps a bit lighter backgrounds .

Thanks for all your hard work Btw :)

Can you please update Vivid theme?
[Android Themes] jcsww:
Any chance of possibly getting a Virginia Tech theme, sonny?
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
You mean something like Tangerine but with a burgundy color tone? If yes, I can look into it.
[Android Themes] jcsww:
That works! I don't have the actual color codes for Virginia Tech's colors but they shouldn't be too hard to find either. How those translate into looking good on a phone though, I have no idea.
[Android Themes] jcsww:
This page seems to have the specific color codes for Virginia Tech. If you can whip something up, I'd be more than happy to purchase it if you throw it in the Play Store or donate if it's just a one off.

It went smoothly. Have you installed JDK?
[Android Themes] buzzboy:
Hello Sonny, Tangerine looks Brilliant. Just the usual ZipThemer restrictions with some System icons/Text, but overall another success.

Here's yet more screenshots:

Regards and continued thanks.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Thanks for all the feedback and taking the time to post screenshots :).

You can set the notification icon transparency to 100% in AOKP ROM settings. That will make the right hand side icons white instead of grey. Looks better IMHO.

Without decompiling the apks (which, I think, not everyone is comfortable with), zipthemer is our best option until the Theme Chooser gets merged with CM9/AOKP.
[Android Themes] acax456:
Anyway for mdpi???
[Android Themes] The Archangel:
If I knew how to do it I would, are you capable off doing it?
[Android Themes] DaXmax:
I do know, but i dont think sonny let me as he has license the pngs... :/
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
I think the original creator of the theme is the only one who can truly port a theme.

My themes are CM7 ports but the only thing they have in common is the name and the color scheme. Every image has been drawn from scratch for ICS.

So yes, porting a GB theme to ICS is possible, but it would be extremely tedious.

Plus, there has to be something you like out of the 15-20 options on this thread ;).

That's just in the 'legacy apps'. The screenshot is taken with the original ADW Launcher (Not EX).

Sonny because i'm noob and the times when I used apkmanager and apktools i had a lot of problems i would ask u some questions:

in the guide of vivid theme there is it --> "Unzip the provided Apk Maanger to your Desktop"

When i've to insert this 2 files in the Sample flashable zip i've to insert SystemUI.apk in app and framework-res.apk in framework?
[Android Themes] hypeartist:
2 sonny

Is there any way to make your themes work on MDPI devices?
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Yes SystemUI goes in the app folder and framework goes in framework.

I don't think the HDPI variants will scale right on MDPI devices.

Sorry but I don't have any plans to port them to MDPI phones as it would be extremely tedious.

For the HDPI ports, I was able to resize around half the images by sacrificing minimal quality, but for MDPI ports, I'm sure that all the images would have to be drawn from scratch or else they will look blurry.

For all of you, who are having problems compiling the 2 apks, I will make a 'HOW TO' screencast soon.

Hi, i'm following the instructions within the Lucid zip but i can't install the framework from my rom in the very first part of the setup. When i run 'apktool if framework-res.apk' i get the error: Unable to access jarfile C:\Apktool ICS\other\\apktool.jar.

I've checked the 'other' folder and there is no apktool.jar, there are 2 other files though, apktool142.jar and apktool143.jar.

I'm sure this is something simple i'm overlooking. Is there anyone here who can point me in the right direction? :)

EDIT: Solved it using a different version of Apk Manager.

Here is your answer.

Your answer which sonny respond earlier in a post.

" For all of you, who are having problems compiling the 2 apks, I will make a 'HOW TO' screencast soon. "

If still dont understand, thats mean you will need a guy who patch it for you. (And its not me.)

@sonny

I tried the zipthemer method on 2 devices with no luck.

HTC Desire CDMA

BCM3.3U1

When attempting the flash the output .zip aroma installer kicks out an error code: STATUS (1)

Samsung Mesmerize

CM9.0.0-RC0-mesmerizemtd-UNOFFICIAL

Successfully flashed output .zip but after reboot I see no changes at all.

Followed instructions for both. Edify Scripting Support OPTION 1, configured with success, build it with success, reboot to recovery wipe cache + Dalvik then flashed output .zip.

Any ideas other than I should learn how to use APKmanager?
[Android Themes] phoenix2217:
I've tried this as well and I cannot get it working. Zipthemer is obviously easy. I load up the APKs, make the changes and flash. Unfortunately nothing changes. I cannot figure out why.

*Edit*

Waiting for the screenpost. Sorry!
[Android Themes] jeromeb4u:
Does it work with hep happy's pre release?
[Android Themes] PanCubano:
I was able to flash and used both minimal and arctic skins with zipthemer but my contacts and messages remain unchanged. The log printout shows changes were made to both. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Does it not change at all or is it not inverted?

Inverting the apps is beyond the scope of zipthemer but it should have swapped out some images.
[Android Themes] PanCubano:
Now that you mention it, I shouldn't have posted so quickly. Some bars and Smileys were changed out in both. I guess its what you said with zipthemer. It looks like I'll have to go the apk manager route. Thanks!
[Android Themes] kapybarus:

Just wondering if I could get this dialer for my Xperia Arc?

Preferably with no on screen buttons.
[Android Themes] ron427:
UPDATE:

HTC Desire CDMA

The ROM I'm using is a multi-device ROM so option 1 in zipthemer doesn't work because it pulls the wrong framework-res.apk. Instead I used option 2 to download the updated version of the Edify phone database and it worked just fine.

I have noticed that anything that is not white to begin with doesn't theme (eg: status bar clock).

UPDATE 2:

Samsung Mesmerize

Tried option 2 with the same results as before. .zip flashes fine but nothing happens on reboot.
[Android Themes] jakTomas:
need to ask u for a favor ,,, can u make a theme like MIUI V4 for CM9 ? WHITE-ORANGE

[Android Themes] jakTomas:
i have done it without any program ,, take the framwork-res.apk and then rename it to framwork-res.apk.ZIP that way u can open it and put the files u need into it ( all the files are in the theme folder ) after u done , remove the .ZIP and it will be framwork-res.apk again ,,, put the file into Sample Flashable Zip.zip that is in the theme folder and put it into the system/framework , and then flash it through recovery ,, i guess my way is easier :P

should i do the same steps for systemUI? and other apk's that i want to compile?!
[Android Themes] kamiskull:
Nice work is great, thank you bro.
[Android Themes] brutoid:
That's great :) Installing the framework like you've done is enough, you can do all your stuff to SystemUI now too.

If you wanna mod normal apk's and you're not changing xml code, and as long as you don't touch the .9.png's, you can normally just swap normal png's for the ones you wanna change by just opening the apk (not unzipping) with 7zip and making your changes.

Here is a good guide for general theming. I've found it very useful:

Here is a flashable for AOKP 5.2 on the Epic 4g:

Other mods included:

160dpi compatible Phone.apk (other dpi's are not affected)

Recent app list fixed at 160dpi (no more cut off thumbnail, other dpi's are not affected)

Higher resolution thumbnails for Recent app list

Included themed apk's:

SystemUI

Browser

Camera

Contacts

LatinIME (Keyboard)

Launcher2

Mms

Phonesky (Market)

If you want more, you can just create another flashable zip with ZipThemer after you flash the theme.

The undo zip reverts back to the original unthemed apk's (also without the other mods mentioned above).

[Android Themes] DaTriggerX:
Hey Sonny! Thanks for your awesome themes.

Im running Resurrection ROM remix ics 1.8.1 on my galaxy S2, I was wondering why Im uncapable to install your themes. I've tried thousand times using Zipthemer, but even if everything seems to be right, once I apply the theme on CWM nothing changes! I've also tried to De-compile apks, but when I replace them on System or Framework folders my phone freezes and I got to reinstall ROM from start.

Thank you.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
The one that you get when pressing the volume buttons/ or when you click volume in settings/sound?

The former can't be themed with the theme chooser, the latter will be fixed in the next update.

The weather widget is Beautiful Widgets. Look for my Lucid superclock skin.

The icons are called Frost II, available for ADW and GO Launcher.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
If it's an AOSP ICS ROM then yes.

Excellent work on the themes Sonny, thanks for what you do! I bought the lucid theme and noticed one little thing that I didn't see mentioned (also not sure if it's outside the scope of what the theme manager can do). In the settings menu, the top settings icon doesn't appear to be themed. Thanks again Sonny!
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Thanks :)

I have left all app icons unthemed. I can't theme them all, and they will look weird half skinned.

That way you guys can use your favorite icon packs to theme them.
[Android Themes] || Acer ||:
Not sure if its AOKP doing this but some of the icons on the Vivid theme don't like the same as the ones in the screenshot. Notice how the battery icon looks different and the toggles aren't colored like the ones in the screenshot. Is this a bug? I tried rebooting.

Edit: Anyone know? Also when I change the volume the bar is still blue even though it shows it as green in the screenshots.

Edit2: With the battery icon, I found out if you change to the circle mod then back to the "stock battery" icon, it'll show the correct color. However, when put on the charger, it turns back to the light blue color. I also found out the toggles change color if you turn them on, but in the screenshot in the OP they all show their color, regardless whether they're on or off.

Edit3: Also realized my messaging app still has a white background and not black?

Why is the theme I bought different than the one in the screenshots?

[Android Themes] tomiho.d:
I´m getting errors while compiling framework (something related to .9 PNGs). Could you please give me an advice how to solve that?
[Android Themes] mbh87:
you dont use the zipthemer images in the decompiled apk because the .9s have already been compiled.
[Android Themes] k_nivesout:
Ah that makes perfect sense, I just wasn't sure where that top settings icon was being called from. Thanks again for your excellent work!
[Android Themes] kevho00:
Damn! Now I have to buy the icons too. Anybody want to donate? Lol
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
1. The screenshot was taken with an earlier build of AOKP and that's how they wrote the code. They displayed the same icon for on/off states when you used the sliding toggles. They recently changed the code to display separate icons for on/off states.

2. That is beyond the scope of theme chooser. I will make morphs which will fix those issues.

3. Impossible to invert it with the theme chooser.

4. Don't look at the screenshots here. Look at the market ones. The theme chooser works differenty that flashing a theme. Some things simply can't be themed with the theme chooser.

This was just the first CM9 update, eventually the themechooser themes will far excel the flashable ones as I will be able to theme endless apps and widgets which simply isn't possible with flashable themes.
