Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Betas are spread out through-out the thread (they provide a lot more features)
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run batch script
- The new folder is now themed
Requirements: Windows environment
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.
NOTE: For now u can only transfer themes from 2.0+ to 2.0+ roms and pre 2.0 to pre 2.0 roms. Big reason is because of the mdpi folders whereas before there was only one. Will implement it as soon as possible.

I just tested this script by doing the following :
1. adb pulled /system/app and /system/framework from my phone into the old folder
2. place cm6 into new folder
3. Ran script
4. Pushed files to phone and it works perfectly
Sorry. I'm relatively new to this, so how do I get the framework/app?

Well u can either extract app/framework from ur theme's update.zip or pull it from ur phone by doing
adb pull /system/app <drag app folder from theme-porter folder here>
adb pull /system/framework <drag framework folder from theme-porter folder here>
HOLY SHIZEN!
now if u can possibly implement the transformation of HDPI to MDPI id pay u at least 20-30 bucks for that..
in the interim..thank u very much for your contribution!

Hmm interesting idea. Certainly possible, however not all images are to be resized equally, some more than others. I'll look into it, can't promise though
Edit: Very hard to do, basically u'll have to have a list of image filenames where each must be noted as to what resolution they must be on a mdpi device.
im sort of new to this. i have a question.
will this work if im using an update.zip theme in the old folder
and a clean rom in the new folder?
ex.
i wanna port the Elegance Theme for SuperD for Dream
to
SuperE for Dream.
and another question.
if this is how it will work
can i then create an update.zip out of what comes from the new folder?

As i said i'll improve it if ppl find this script to be useful, i'll base it on # of downloads lol
For now u'll have to extract the framework and app folder from elegance theme for dream into old folder and extract framework and app folder from super e to new folder. Then run script, once done ur new folder's stuff will be themed.
do i have to then push the files from the new folder over or can i use your create update.zip script and flash the new themed apps and framework?

Yes u can do that or u can just push the files. Yea an update to this will prolly have an option to make the new folder into an update.zip.
thanks man. the combinations of these 2 scripts will help me to make a rom how i want it.
great work. keep it up

Ok so the # of downloads have reached my defintion of *in demand*
So these are the changes im thinkin of bringing, feel free to make suggestions.
- Make the "new folder" into an update.zip once the script has run through its paces
- Have an option to pull app/framework directly from ur phone
Those are the only 2 i can see as being useful, if anymore let me know.
crossing platforms doesnt work.
tried to move the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7 (which is android 2.1)
to SuperD 1.11 (which is android 1.6)
i also tried transfering Elegance for SuperD 1.11
to SuperE 1.0.3
the fonts transfered. nothing else did.
but i did successfully transfer the celadon theme for CM 5.0.7
to SuperE 1.0.3
Stock DI18 Theme Template for the Samsung Epic 4g
This is for the themers to work from as a base and for those who wish to theme the stock DI18 rom on the Epic without having to install a deodexed rom.
Credit goes out to Raiderep and Crake for getting the ball rolling, and DearmasFamily for altering the code to make it work correctly. Thanks D, hope you guys enjoy.
This file deletes all the *.odex in system and framework, while installing stock files that have been deodexed and zipaligned. Should run very efficient! Hope you guys enjoy!
Flash in clockworkmod recovery right over the stock rom.
Download:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9718693/Stock_DI18_Theme_Template.zip
Should be updating tomorrow with even more optimized stock files.
Just updated link, found 2 media hubs on my phone.
I made a deodexed stock DI18 ROM already a few weeks back for this purpose.

This isn't actually the same thing. For the average user to get their stock rom fully deodexed, you are correct. They can run your update zip, then place a theme on top of it. But for the themers, who are testing multiple themes, or the users who use more than one theme and switch back and forth, there is a huge difference. Let me give you an example. If I'm testing out my mayan theme and I want to flash the black hole. Lets say the mayan theme has the fonts changed and black hole doesn't (not true, just for sake of argument). I flash my theme template to reset the font and then I flash the black hole or have the font from the mayan theme bleed through to the black hole. At this point I'm not going to flash back to a entire stock theme and loose all my settings, I'm just going to flash the theme template to reset the framework files to stock. All settings, including your launcher, phone apps, etc will remain exactly as is when switching themes.
Updated. I was told by Zienzu that there is an issue with the Media Hub not recognizing file formats. I replaced the Media Hub and its services so they should be just fine now. If the problem persists, please notify me.
Looks like the first go round when I had 2 versions of the media hub in there, one was the fixed and one the broken. I deleted the fixed version out by mistake.

Lol this is not a theme, it deodexes the stock files on your phone from the phone. It has all the stock framework files sup you can flash this to wipe a theme off as well

Not quite the theme template for SyndicateRom has been tweaked to work without carrierIQ plus there are a few other changes in it like reboot option, 3 images for the GPS rather than 2. Sorry for the delay on answering this question. I'm going to work on a stock EB13 theme template.
I dont know if you've started already or given up already on the EB13, but I was wonder if you were working on an EC05 stock theme yet?
Hi!
I have been trying to extract the theme from this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869408
It looks awesome and I want to add some animations from a different ROM and use it with Darkys or Assonance for example but this seems to be much harder than I though unless someone has a quick and easy for dummies procedure for poor me that is.
It should be as easy as extracting the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, mms.apk, bootanimation.zip and fonts as that is what is listed as being themed in the ROM thread. Then use the theme porter posted in the Android Themes section of XDA to inject them in your apk's, then manually change whatever didn't copy over.

mmm sounds simple when you say it lol I will need to dig deep here it seems but that is a good post to point me towards the right path
I usually just extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM I am taking the theme from and the ROM I want to put it in, then I copy the res/drawable-hdpi folder from the old apk into the new one. It is a quick/dirty method, and wont let you change font colors or add a circle battery mod to one without it, but I have never had problems with it before.
You also have to be sure it is compatible with the rom you are using. Some roms have different xml code behind and if you simply put the framework and tw framework in your rom you risk getting fc at boot and not getting past them.

Both are JPY Roms so I hope that is enough. I guess worst thing that could happen is having to flash again

Try first with /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I'm attaching a cwm zip file that has those files as found in Doc's 6.1 rom.
Just replace them with the files from whatever rom you want and keep that as a backup in case something goes wrong. It will save you from reflashing
If both are JPY roms then it shouldn't be an issue.
I tried doing what Ryukeima mentioned but I ended up with a Frankenstein of a theme as not all things from the them I wanted came over to the new one!
This is going to require some practice. That ROM has also some very nice Icons for Launcher Pro so is going to be another thing to look for..in fact I think I could be happy just getting those Icons.

Rip all the framework folder. Make a CWM zip and flash it over your ROM. It should work without problems. Then try to either apply animations on UOT kitchen or inject them with metamorph.

Sorry for my noobness...Just trying to learn this stuff
So if i rip out all framework folders from one rom and manually replace them in another rom (like i did for kernel..replacing zimage file)...will it work?
Also, can anyone tell me how to make a CWM zip...i know there is a post for that on XDA but i am not able to find it...

To answer the first question, it won't straight out work. You have to add the images to the file 'framework-res.apk' in the 'drawable-hdpi' folder located within it. Different framework-res.apk's will differ from ROM to ROM, and will just FC or bootloop your phone if you use one that it doesn't like. That's why most themes have the ROM they will work with posted in the title. If it is the same base ROM (in the case of my phone, running Assonance, any JK3 theme will work), then it is as simple as drag & drop. But if it's between say Axura and Assonance, it would have to be manually changed as stated above, since there may be subtle differences in the framework.
As for the second question, here ya go

If the theme was made for JPY and the Rom you want to put it on is JPY, it should work. However, there are sometimes system apps which need to be installed with the theme. Easyest thing would be to rip it off, put it on your rom and see if it works. Experiment a bit, thats how you'll learn.
thanks and thanks.
Its really interesting to have a full control of your phone....so i am enjoying learning this stuff....tried using UOT kitchen but got errors...

There's plenty of jpy based themes in the i9000>theme section.
You could metamorph it if it doesn't require any xml edits... it looks like Marilyn img edits which could be taken foment that rom..

i have a question along these same lines. if one wanted to copy the notification pulldown from a different ROM|theme, how would you do so? im using Perception 9.5 which is built on JK3, but the Androdena theme is built on JPX files. all i want is the notification pulldown elements. can you just copy those image files over and go? i always see themers talking about 9.pngs and i was just wondering if they'd prohibit just a simple copy from one tw-framework to another.
I'm running a de-odexed ZSJPJ rom (Ramad's). It seems that the only way to get the puzzle piece lockscreen is to flash a theme that has the 4 lockscreen settings. I don't really want to flash a theme especially since a lot of these are based on older frameworks and I just want the lockscreen.
If anyone can point me to a comprehensive how-to, that will be fine. Thanks in advance.
yeah you need to change the android.policy.odex in the system\framework\ folders.
You can just take the file from a theme that has it and use root explorer to transfer it to your phone.
or you can just use the StockPlus082percentageFF theme which is a stock theme with all the current lock screens.
Link for stock theme with 5 lockscreens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952579
I've seen Stockmod Plus, but I think he uses an older framework. ZSJPJ rom has some issues from what I've read. Anyway, thanks. I'll google android.policy.odex and see where it leads.

yeah but you can just take the android.policy.odex file from it and install it separately. just replace the one file with the one you have on your phone.
this is a theme for the "deodexed" NOVA ROM.
do not flash on the original .odex'ed ROM.
make a BACKUP before installing.
i take NO responsibility if this bricks your device.
the theme is extensive enough.
has different "animations &transitions" included too

deodexing is getting rid of the ".odex" files u can find in /system/app and system/framework.
u can check them through a file manager which grants root access like root explorer.
for deodexing, u can follow this tutorial of mine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405689
the main use of deodexing is that u can apply themes and also free some memory.
the deodexing is fairly simple. make sure u follow the steps

If you are talking about CM7, you have an awesome ICS theme in xda called "ICS CM7 v1.6" or something like that. I guess that if achyut is using NOVA, it will be hard making a CM7 theme. Besides, it's a lot of work what has been done for the ICS I told you.

First of all, I think you "should" have themed my notification bar toggles because they don't look like the rest of theme at all.
Secondly, as far as I know the theme should be able to be flashed in odexed ROMs too! You can put deodexed files in odexed ROM. Actually, many ROMs are odexed except the apk's that are for theming.
So I don't think this can't be flashed in odexed ROM, unless you have a concrete reason.

and of the deodexed flashing, i tried flashing it on odexed NOVA and bricked my phone 2/3 times....so, thought it might be better of to apply this to the deodexed ROM because my deodexed NOVA got themed at one go.

Please flash Gingerbread theme (or whichever you want) manually from recovery (.zip to sd, go to recovery->flash from sdcard, flash it. No wipes or anything)
Nova theme chooser seems to stopeed working some time ago. Many people reported the same problem. Don't rely on theme chooser anymore.

Thanx Antonio, where can I find gingerbread or other zipped theme for nova?
Theme maybe working in odexed too
Here is a version of the theme that could work in odexed NOVA too.
There is a step between NOVA versions below v3 and above v3-4 Most probably Achyut made this theme with a greater version than v3, so this probably won't work in below versions of NOVA.
I copy the disclaimer:
Make a BACKUP before installing.
