Meta morph for missing stuff. But honestly, there isn't a lot of missing stuff since Ricardo made the changes to the theme engine. Almost everything except the lockscreen can be themed now.

Elliott Smith is my favourite artist :). Unfortunately, the good ones always succumb to drugs or kill themselves and we're stuck with the drivel that comprises the Top 40.

No immediate plans.

Hey, I'm new here and a little noob when it comes to themeing so I was hoping you guys could help me out >.<

I installed lucid via zipthemer, and might I say simply stunning.

However I do want the entire UI fully themed since the blue time display is killing me. I followed the instructions as much as I could till I hit this little road block:

In the framework-res.apk folder you provided, there are 2 folders; Drawable and values. I simply copied the XML file inside the drawable folder and pasted it over the original file in the project drawable folder. However there's no such values folder in my project framework-res.apk folder. Could you possibly help me out here? I'm not exactly sure where these XML files are, which I have to edit.

Thanks so much! Your themes are simply amazing! :)
[Android Themes] mixtapes08:
I finally compile my 1st theme myself using tangerine as base and its super awesome thanks for the instructions inside the zip.. :)

Your problem is you didnt decompile your framework-res.apk. you need to decompile framewrok to see values folder edit xmls then recompile it again.

[Android Themes] teeniv:
I was extracting the apk instead of decompiling. Damn I feel stupid. Thanks a lot!

However, now I'm having trouble with flashing/adb pushing the compiled apk files. Since they're system apks I get that I'm not supposed to sign them. I thought I'd adb push them but I can't seem to get my /system to show up, only my SD card even though I've selected mount /system through recovery.

After adb pushing didn't work I tried using the sample zip. I'm supposed to put the recompiled apks in their respective folders in the sample zip file and just flash it right? I get an error while attempting to flash. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to sign the apks if I'm going to flash or something? Thanks in advance.

And yet again, I apologise since I'm a noob :)
[Android Themes] mixtapes08:
Did you compile it right? Did you edit xml? according to the format?. You dont need to sign it because its a system app.

1. What i do is decompile framework

2. Edit

3. Compile it.

4. in the unsignedframework-res.apk i copy the resouces and the xml that i replace in layout folder then using 7zip icopy those to the old framework-res.apk

5. Then place it in a flashable.zip

Sent from my Nexus S®
[Android Themes] teeniv:
Yeah I'm sure I decompiled, edited and recompiled properly.

I'm a little confused by what you meant in step 4. I have to copy the files I edited from unsignedframework-res.apk and unsignedSystemUI.apk to the old ones?
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
Yes, that way you don't have to deal with signing or anything, because when you change the signature on one system app, it sometimes messes with the others and won't work.

[Android Themes] jabbawalkee:
Unfortunately, no. You would not be able to use the theme engine versions unless you're on a ROM like CM9 or AOKP that has the engine built in. The only other option is if Sonny has a flashable zip or zipthemer version (I'm not sure he does though I could be wrong).

Hello sonny.

Can you please add to Vivid theme also color for battery style "Text only" on AOKP? I like this style, but number is in blue color, that doesn't match to Vivid.
[Android Themes] Ditamae:
Sonny, you single handedly motivated me to finally give ICS a shot. I couldn't live without your themes! ;) I'm currently using Ember (from GooglePlay) and it looks beautiful.... there is one small question I have... and I read this whole thread and noticed another user mentioned it. In the Settings menu, I still see the standard blue Settings icon in the upper left corner. I thought that my icon pack would replace it, but no luck. Is there some way to change this? Even a simple, single, white or gray icon (otherwise identical to the standard) would suffice. Thank you so much!

Edit: So, I just went it and replaced the icon in the settings.apk, pushed it back over via ADB & everything looks superb.
[Android Themes] jesssiii:
I love the text battery style too, and would love it if they could be matched in all themes.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Sorry for being MIA guys, I got really busy.

Unfortunately, that requires a smali edit and is beyond the scope of the theme chooser. Not sure why Team AOKP decided to not use the system text color like CM9 does. Many themers including me have sent them a request to change their code so that it would make the battery percentage text color themable. Lets hope for the best.

Glad you figured it out. I have refrained from theming the app icons because I can't theme them all and they will look weird half skinned.

Sorry jesssiii, can't be done as of now :)
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
In build 40, team AOKP has moved all the weather images from SystemUI to framework. I need to update all my themes now. Please be patient.
[Android Themes] fergie716:
Lol yup I noticed this too

Sickening isn't it lol
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Certainly is :). Just like when app developers change the app icon image name/activity name for no reason whatsover and themers have to update their icon packs.
[Android Themes] fergie716:
Yea idk I'm sure there's a reason why it was moved but still. It was in SystemUI for so long lol. Who knows tho. Maybe it's easier to put those in framework for compatibility reasons
[Android Themes] kecinzer:
Please don't forget to update popup menus for Vivid and ICS Vivid Blue with all border ones :DD.

BTW. Yes, I'm pain in ass about this :DDD
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:

Vivid via ZipThemer

Hi Sonny, thanks for these themes they're beautiful!

However, I'm going crazy trying to install Vivid with ZipThemer. Actually it's the flashing which fails, I keep getting this message: "E:Error in /emmc/ZipThemer/-update.zip/ (Status 0) Install aborted.

I get this message even though the -update file is stored on my internal sd (Galaxy SII, resurrection remix 2.4.1). I tried saving it to my emmc also to no avail.

Can anyone suggest a reason for the failure, I've already spent a day trying to figure out the 2 different methods of getting Vivid on my phone?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I got sidetracked after the theme chooser was dropped on us.

This should help you. It renders making a video, superfluous: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633333

Did you use your ROM to create a script that works with zipthemer. You can go the official zipthemer website for more info.

My favorite of all time: Segoe UI.

You mean the app called SMS Popup? I redirected it to use system dialogs.

The stock SMS app uses the holo dialog/menu images. They are boxes with blue outlines. They will be hard to miss if you extract the apk and go the drawable-xhdpi folder.

Great! I love that font. Do you have a flashable zip for that? I can't get SegoeUI font to work in my ICS rom. I did and flashed a zip with that but it's still Roboto. :(

Sonny, I'm using Lucid on my RR Remix (I9100) but I'd like to have it Pitch Black Keyboard. But even if I put it on /system/app replacing the original keyboard .apk it still has the default colors...

Do you know if it is possible to have both Lucid theme and Pitch Black keyboard?

I don't know if it helps, but I'm attaching the themed keyboard.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
Cm9 themes theme apps according to their package name. Moving an app to /system and removing the other app won't theme anything. Sonny has to build that app into his theme so until he does there is no way to theme that keyboard.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
What anthonycr said is correct. I have themed the keyboard, so no matter which mod you apply, my theme will supercede it.

You can open my theme apk and put your images in the drawable-xhdpi and resign it. Let me know if you need help with that.
[Android Themes] luizlee86:
Hm... by "open your theme" you mean the files on the first post?

Thanks so much for all of your awesome work. You've motivated me to upgrade to CM9 (from 7.1) and I've just installed a few of your themes via the Play store (figure you deserve some of my cash ;P). Right now I'm loving Tangerine, but I might change soon...

I'm trying to get started on a bit of theming with CM7 and have a question.

What do you use to change the png colors consistently? Do you use a program that changes them in bulk or one by one?

Thanks.

|Trolling With A Smile|
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Thanks a lot for the support guys :), I will include all the Jelly Bean specific changes in the next update for the themes. So that when JB gets the theme chooser, the themes will work without a problem.

Jamin13, I use Photoshop to bulk edit images. You can create 'actions' to make your life easier.

This is another good and free alternative:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883392
[Android Themes] Jamin13:
Thanks for the response. I need to figure out how to make these actions to make tighten up my theme. :D
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
In Photoshop, go to the Windows tab and make sure 'Actions' is selected.

Now open any image that you want to be a part of your bulk editing.

Go to the Actions tab on the right. Select New Action and name it whatever you like. The Action is now recording.

Now make the necessary changes to the png.

Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S and save as Png-24 in a folder different than the one that the original image is in.

Stop recording the action.

Go to File/Automate/Batch and run the Action.

Have fun :)
[Android Themes] Jamin13:
Once again thanks. :D

I actually went with the ImageMagick and it looked pretty nice (was going for grey but it turned out mostly black because I was impatient). I'll have to try PS tomorrow.
[Android Themes] fergie716:
Photoshop is the way to go. If you're a student you can see if your eligible for a discount

GIMP is also decent (Windows version)

But if you end up getting Photoshop I can share some of my actions to help out. The best one I have is to remove the boarders of 9pngs so you can edit the image without any issues then merge the layers together. Saves some time.

Sorry for the off topic! Lol
[Android Themes] Jamin13:
Thanks Ferg.

I do know about GIMP and I have used it a bit before. I have a copy of PS and I've been using it for the theme. ImageMagick seems to bypass the .9 borders but it changes to whole PNG color. Ill have to look through PS to make more in-depth changes for my theme.

[Android Themes] toddmworth:
Related to this... I'm on Slim on an i9000, and I notice that with Onyx applied via theme chooser app and also zipthemer, if I set the notification bar battery to show in text, I get the stock ICS cyan colour (I would have liked it to be white!). Icon only, or Icon+text seems fine.

I'm not sure if maybe we should be using the device file (instead of the base file) to configure edify in Zipthemer? Can anyone clarify?

Is there any chance of this being fixed so that I can get the full onyx experience?

Thanks :)
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
Slim ICS uses AOKP commits for most of the customization. Unfortunately, AOKP devs have coded that color into a smali file and changing that is beyond the scope of the theme chooser or zipthemer.
[Android Themes] daman215:
Hi sonny can you tell me why the weather icons dont change to chrome on the chrome theme
[Android Themes] toddmworth:
Thanks sonny, I'll report this undesirable feature upstream.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
They changed the location of the images in build 40. Therefore the they are not themed any more.

It will address this in the next update.

I am sort of waiting to see how long takes for theme chooser to get merged with JB.

If it takes too long, I will release an interim update.

[Android Themes] phoenix2217:
Few issues and questions.

1) I used zipthemer. If I go that route do I also need to De-compile the APKS? Is that why my date color is still blue along with the toggle name color in the status bar?

2) My launcher didn't theme. Which launcher is launcher2? Trebuchet? My version of AOKP didn't have it so I pulled it from a AOSP/CM9 mixed ROM and added it. No change.

3) Contact colors- Names etc are still blue. Is this intended?

Amazing job and I'll use it for quite a while. Just wanted to be sure on a few things.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] olfyboy:
Many thanks Sonny! Your themes truly look awesome! :D

Flashed your Lucid theme using the zipthemer option, and it worked, except for some things: Some text is still ICS blue (clock, date and network provider in status bar and a few other stuff), dialer numbers are ICS blue and the volume slider aswell.

I'm probably the one that has done something wrong, but do you have any ideas? :P

edit: looks like the same happened to phoenix2217..
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
1. Yes, you need to decompile the apks in order do change some colors and implement the accurate battery % mod. That is beyond the scope of Zipthemer.

2. Launcher2 comes with AOKP, atleast it does with the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S versions. I will add Trebuchet support in the next update.

3. Changing the color in Contacts.apk is a real pain at the moment as you need to sync with the ROM source using Linux.

For now we can only change the images.

Yes, to change any system level text color, you must decompile 2 apks. Dialer and Volume slider should have themed though.

Instructions are in the zip file.

Someone please post a hdpi version of the Trebuchet.apk, Thanks.
