[Noob Tutorial to Modding]- "THEMES"

Ok so basically this a short toutorial for semi-noobs who are looking to

change their ui experience and look but really have no where to start.

Their are plenty of mpdi themes out there (MPDI is the category that the imagoes on your phone

[ie. the g1] fall under), which means you have a semi wide variety for you to choose from.

So lets get started.

:[OFFICIAL WARNING]:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO UR PHONE IN CASE U BRICK IT.

IT IS IN UR BEST INTEREST TO DO A NANDROID BACK UP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING,

SPECIALLY EDITING SYSTEM FILES.

-YOU MUST BE ROOTED-

Things u will need-

1. ADB- already installed (many guides out there)

2. A Copy of your Current Rom (it will be a zip file)

3. APk Manager- xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

4. Theme you would like (GOOGLE is you friend)

Ok so after u get all of that together your ready to get modding.

1.Start off by connecting your phone in debug mode to your computer. (go to settings to enable debugger mode)

2.Find your Current Rom and unzip it.

3.Go to /System/res/framework/ and find Framework-res.apk

4.Open your APK MANAGER folder and place your "framework-res.apk"

under apk-for modding

5. Now open the .bat file

6. Once the CMD Screen has opened (the screen that looks like the letter from the matrix)

you will see a list of options, press 22 (select project)

7. Now select framework-res.apk by pressing the number that applies to it ( if its your only file in the

folder it will be 1)

8.Now press 1 again to extract apk (now your apk is ready to be edited.)

9.Return to the main folder where your apk-manager is located and open ur projects folder

10.Open the folder "Framework-res" then go to the folder that "res",

then finally to a folder that called drawable-mdpi

11.Now that you are here u will need to go find the theme that u want on you phone

(remember that it MUST be mdpi)

12.Unzip the File (either metamorph theme or the .zip theme file)

13.(Skip if u got a meta morph theme)

Now find your framework-res.apk file and change it to framework-res.zip and unzip it

14. Head into the res and into drawble-mdpi folder

15. Now dragg all your files from the theme drawble-mdpi to your project drawble-mdpi folder.

16. It will ask forever rides just approve them all. (your replacing the image from ur stock room for the one that u want your phone to have ei. new theme)

17. Return to the apk-manager (matrix looking screen hehe) and hit 3 (zip apk)

hit 1 when asked what kinda of file is it. (1.system apk)

18. Now hit 5 after that's done (zipalign)

19. Make sure your phone is connected and u have it in debugg mode.

20. Press 8 and type in /system/framework/framework-res.apk (exactly like that or else it wont work)

21. Once its done reset your phone and enjoy.

So if u have any questions please ask...

I tried to make this as simple as possible but i did write this on about 2 hours of sleep and and it is my first tutorial of if I messed up somewhere let me know.

I was once a noob and I just thought this might help out some people

who have caught on a bit, but are still pretty new to this.
