[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
G'Day XDA,

After a number of months of countless hours of editing, I am finally able to make an initial release on a project that I am still currently working on... I call it [SIZE=+2]The ICS Blue Project[/SIZE].

My aim is to turn everything in my phone to the gorgeous ICS Blue colour. This means icons, text, everything. It has taken me a long time to figure everything out (with the help of a few XDAers) and to get where I am at the moment, and there is still a lot to come. I want to share this with anyone who is interested or likes the look of the theme, or anyone that wants to know how to do the same kind of editing in your own favourite colour. Now I know that this won't be for everyone. I'm sure there will be a number of people that think there is too much blue, that's why I've made individual zip files so that people can pick and choose what they like. As I said, this is the initial release so there will be (hopefully) a lot more updates to come soon.

Firstly I will have the different flashable zips that I have made (and what each one looks like) and then further down I will have what is still to come and then how I did it (ie what files were edited).

Flash these zips through ClockWorkMod Recovery but PLEASE make a Nandroid backup first, I won’t be held accountable for any broken phones but I will try to help you as best I can if the worst does happen. These zips have been made using XWLPI odexed stock ROM with JKay's Deluxe Framework v14.1.4 and JKay's Deluxe Settings App and also ICS Domination by Vertumus. If you do not have these installed then you will NOT get the same results that I have, but you can certainly try.

These zips may work on other ROMs (XWLPD, F & G) but you would have to try it first. I know some of them work on VK XWLPG deodexed ROM (thanks to martintspedersen for testing them!) but I don’t think they all will. I have included a few different zips for each section. Usually there will be an Icons Only, a normal and a Full zip. If you see the word ‘Full’ in the filename of the zip, then that contains resources.arsc which is usually ROM specific. This may not work if you have a different ROM.

Now if you really want to have your phone looking the way that the screenshots are, you really need to install the following zip which changes ALL text that is controlled by framework-res and twframework-res default text colours.

Everything ICS Blue

[SIZE=+2]Everything ICS Blue[/SIZE]

And also below is a zip which contains all the icons for framework-res. I don’t have any screenshots for it, you’ll just have to trust me :)

[SIZE=+2]Framework Icons Only ICS Blue[/SIZE]

Now the last thing that I have before the HOW TO GUIDE are a few apks of certain applications that I have themed.

Android Gallery This has has to be pushed to /data, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then installed like a normal apk.

[SIZE=+2]Android Gallery ICS Blue[/SIZE]

Google Play Music This has to be pushed to /system, change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then installed like a normal apk.

[SIZE=+2]Google Play Music ICS Blue[/SIZE]

Vlingo (Voice Talk/Voice Command) This has to be pushed to /system, change permissions to rw-r--r--, then pushed to /system/app and restart your phone.

[SIZE=+2]Vlingo ICS Blue[/SIZE]

So there you have all the flashable zips and apks that I have done so far. I do have more coming including:

Chrome

Downloads Monitor

Email

ES File Explorer

Facebook

Gmail

Google Maps

Google Play Store

Memo

My Files

Video Player

YouTube

…and potentially any others if people request them. I will also be redoing all of this when the SGSII is updated to Jelly Bean and JKay does his awesome work and Vertumus does a JB Domination.
