ahah yes, hope it
Yes you can!
Backup the apk of the ADW theme. I use Astro, but you can use anything that backs it up in .apk form.
Now copy the apks to your computer. You can either rename it from .apk to .zip & extract the files or use 7zip to extract directly from the apk. I personally use 7zip but you can do it however you want.
Navigate to the folders you extracted. Find the folder named "Res". The icons will be in one of the "drawable" folders. If you browse through you'll also find docks, wallpapers, etc.
If the theme has icons in multiple resolutions make sure you use the highest quality ones (probably 72x72) or else they may be blurry on your phone.
Hope this helps!
I can't back it up with astro I can't select it to backup it say ''private'' and other app are not able to backup too ?? I just try to back up Nexus S theme from creativethemeZ
Okay, if it's protected you won't be able to use it that way. Are you rooted?
thanks for quick reply, but no I am not rooted , are you? because if you could do this for me = $$ ?
Is it a paid app? If not, then I can do it for you no problem. If it is then it's going to be a little harder as I'll need to put money in my account (I only use one account for online purchases & nothing else to avoid getting screwed) and the bank for that account won't be open until Monday.
yeah its a paid app its nexus s gingerbread theme from creativethemez I can send you money on paypal if you have one?
I sent you a pm. We can continue the conversation there.
extract icon for adw paid themes
hi every body!!!
do somebody have the solution on how extracting icon of a adw paid theme please?
I want to create my own theme and use it with pandahome pro, but i don't know how to extract those icons...
So if someone can help me please...!!
Thanks in advance!!
Just a reminder, if you are creating a Theme with somebody else's work included, i.e the Icon you like, you will need to seek permission from the Icons creator before posting your own Theme for others to use.
If it's for personal use only it's ok though.

I’ve created some new icons and made little changes to the HTC Home plugin’s graphic files because I wanted them to fit a little better to the Touch Cube style, and keep that somehow professional look.
Download and unpack the HTC_Touch_Pro_home zip file and you’ll find the install options inside.
You will have the original graphic files too, if you want to change them back later.
Download HTC_New_Default.tsk also, if you still don’t have it.
You should donate my work if you like it! Thank you very much!
Nice iconset, they really do look good.
You should contact emunutz at PocketEmu Software
so he can add your icon pack to his HTC Home Customizer.
Your icons would be available to many more users and
it would be much easier to install them.
Good job!
mice wrk ! ! ! !
I LK it
Thank you!
GAMBIT999: Thanks, I will contact pocketemu.

Hello!
Before you copy the files to your device you have to disable the htc home plugin:
Settings/Today/Items/HTC Home
after this you can copy the files and can replace the originals
hhc
is there any way to use this icons with the Htc home customizer? I think I have to rename the files and put them into a folder....

i don't use hhc so i don't really know, but a guy from pocketemu sent me an e-mail that he will add my icons to the HHC. visit the pocketemu page and maybe it's already there
Some new things
I have some new little things for those who like them.
You can have a blue backlight for the default HTC clock what I think looks pretty good with my Blue icons.
download and extract Bluelite.zip and put the 3 files to the /Windows folder of your device.
1. You have to disable the HTC Home plugin first:
Settings/Today/Items/HTC Home
2. Then you can copy and replace the original files.
3. Enable the HTC Home again and that's all
The other file is just a replacement for the default contact picture in the PocketCM. You can have my blue person icon as default.
Copy the png file to the /Windows folder. That's all.
Cool Man!! They Are Very Cool!! Just Fit Htc Style!
Thanks!
My apologies as this is probably a stupid question, BUT... can you install more than one theme on a TF3D device (I have the Fuze)? I only ask because I installed, for example, Herg's Flip Clock theme (white flip w/ black numbers) and then a few days later decided to install Matt's Fuzeberry theme and give it a try...and it was like Fuzeberry overwrote the other or something. I guess I thought it would install both separately and I could choose which one I wanted to us in my Today settings.
Do I have to uninstall one and then install another if I decide to switch between themes? This is what I ended up having to do. Is that right? If there is a better way, what is it?
Again, sorry if that is a stupid question but that was what happened to me and I guess I thought it would be different. I've been reading on here for several weeks now, learning lots of cool things, but haven't found this answered in my searches. Thanks for your time.
Bump.
Anybody? Please?
Hey there, Mark.
In order to replace a theme, you will need to copy+paste a file into your "windows" folder. This will, as you said, overwrite the files in there with what you're putting in.
But, if you want a number of different themes/styles to choose from, you should check this program out, made by XDA's Grumps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420
This is a Manilla Customizer, and although I haven't used it, it will allow you to do what you're asking for allow you to choose from a number of different preloaded themes/styles.
Edit: It only works for Icons, Clocks, Sliders, and Curtains, not so much the theme.
Enjoy!

Ok, thanks for the response! Guess maybe that's what I'm looking for. I had read some posts where folks said they switched between themes or were loading another theme and I didn't know if they just installed the .cab each time or what. Thanks for your time.
I've been hunting apps for my fuze for a while, and I'm pretty sure that there isn't something that will allow you to change from one theme to the next. You'll have to go through the process of overwriting/replacing files.

Actually, Diamond tf3d Config will let you change themes as long as the themes are saved in .theme format. If you use cabs, you change themes by using Remove Programs and then running new cab. Either way, you can store your themes on storage card and change when you want. If you overwrite directly using total commander or something, then you run risk of having a mismatch of themes, of course that might me desired effect too.
Okay, so the process I've done the few times I've changed - uninstall current then install the new theme - is what I need to do. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't an easier way or something.
I appreciate the people who share the themes they've created so the rest of us, especially like me who do not have the skills to create them myself, can change up the look of our device by installing them. Great community here!
doh! Showaco is right. Are you using this program, called TF3D Config?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Many of the themes you're using is in the .cab format, which installs itself. TF3D Config is actually a really neat app, in that it lets you choose from the themes that you've loaded into a folder. The themes must be in .theme format (not .cab), they must be on your phone, and TF3D Config will let you choose which theme to install from that list of themes.

I have been installing from the .cab files, yes. I will check into TF3D Config. Thanks for the tip!
I know how to make regular icons transparent b/c I've already done that, but I can't seem to get the Folder one to work. I tried w/ Desktop Visualizer, but I haven't been able to use it to make a folder to put mulitple stuff in unless I'm just missing it. Can somebody help please?
Check out the app Folder Organizer. You can use custom icons for them along with a whole slew of other things. Great app. Check out my post alittle further down entitled Justice League icons to see how I used it.
Thanks man. I have that app on my SD card actually, but never got around to installing it, lol. I'll check it out now.
Is their any way to change the font on the folders? I mean to make the background of the font clear?
Does anyone have any ideas as to how one could go about creating GO Contacts Themes.
I've developed both Go Launcher and GOSMS Themes, but don't know how to get started on GO Contacts.
Maybe someone has a template they can share?
If not, is there a way I can unpack the a theme's apk file to use?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
yeah
I would like to know how to do this as well !!
Yes please could someone provide a guide or any info will be great
Yes, we absolutely need more theme choices for gocontacts.

Why do they have a themer for the sms and not the launcher & contacts?
But... Since they do have easy to dld themes for the contacts, I am thinking we can just download a theme, and decompile it.

Hey ya'll! I realize that this thread is a little old, but I need some help with my Go Contacts. I've decompiled several .apk's to edit to my liking but when I open it in my editor (Gimp) it will not allow me to change the colors. For example, anything I try to change no matter the color it just turns grey. It is to my understanding that I have just been using "locked" apk's. Would anyone happen to have one they might share with me? Or give me some guidance on how to get past this? Thanks for any help!
can some help? i want to theme it myself. thanks
U shoud use the apk manager ....to uncompil the phone apk....then change the png images and the last to compile again the phone apk.

Hi,
what do you want to modify??
If you want to change some grafics in the "phone.apk" then you also have to modify the "contacts.apk".
Which Rom do you use?
Greetz Paki
Do you think that in order to change the dialer pad shall change the png in the contacts apk?!?!?!....it seem strange but.....i will have a look.... it may be you have right....
....yep...u had rigth....
does it require deodexing? I'm on the Optimus Black and Froyo, suppose the same settings apply. I just want to replace the butt ugly backgrounds which are red and green during calls...
There was one guide in russian in only left google cache now.
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...нтакты"&cd=1&hl=lv&ct=clnk&gl=lv&client=opera
I've tried and found the right places to mod, it is easy, but could decompile the phone.apk correctly on windows...(errors). I was too lazy to install linux... also AngelofMors has modified phone and contacts apk till version 20l... on 4pda.ru
I use them, sync up high res 400*400 pics from social sites and have superb in call screen photos for my friends...
