There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

Use a js5 rom where your theme choice is basically unlimited.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.
Hi i would like some help which would be nice from any Theme Creator or Dev because they will probably know where to look.
So can anyone tell me which files need to be changed to make the volume & brightness bars in quicksettings pulldown bar to change the bar color? i have changed the color via framework, system ui or htc res, rosie, settings files but.... not sure which files i changed in what location that did that?
Also which file do i need to locate to change the button pressed on the home screen? Cause i wanna get rid of the green sense look to my phone, my phone is looking pretty modded & i know how to use Photoshop to change PNGs & know how to mod APKs too.
Any help would be great i have tried the search bar on here & also in google but didnt get any results & to be honest i know people on XDA will know this.... thanks in advance
The progress bar color in quick settings is defined by this file: common_progress_full.9.png (in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi)
Are you using a Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5 rom? If yes, the button press color in the homescreens can't be changed. At the moment all available tools fail with decoding the images.
In Sense 2.1, you have to edit Rosie.apk. For Sense 3 (+ GB 2.3.3 or .4), fusion.apk has to be edited with m10 tool.
I can give you more details if you want to.
Thanks
Thanks for that but i cant locate it in my system ui/res/drawable-hdpi? i tried looking in htc/rs/draw-hdpi too? cant find that common_progress_full.9.png? could you check again for me or if have time upload the file? i cant see why it would be missing though?
I havent had a chance to mess with the m10 editor? is it easy enough to use when editing the fusion.apk?
I love XDA.... its the best for phone modding & has many helpful members

You have to load the Rosie.apk with m10 editor, then decompile the Rosie_navbar.m10 file and change the following opacity values from 1 to 0.0099999998. If you set them to 0, pressing on the buttons will have no effect.

Do you mean the volume bars? if so just goto the UOT Kitchen & chage them in there, then flash them over your rom, or put the changes of your framework & system ui into your rom zip & flash your rom again?

Since I'm a proud owner of a Droid Bionic, I want to use my OG Droid as just a PDA. I'm using Sapphire 2.0 and the Signal strength icon on my status bar just annoying me like crazy. I've already disabled the cell radio, but how do I remove the icon from my status bar?
Thanks in advance!
I believe it has something to do with framework-res.apk
I would just look up how to change statusbar icons and change the icon to whatever color your statusbar is.

Correct, the thing is that each time you change ROMs, you would have to remove the files. Just open framework-res in 7zip and extract the drawable-hdpi folder, view the files, delete the icons you want, and replace in framework-res.apk. Put framework-res.apk back into the ROM and reflash.

Could I just use Root explorer to open the APK and remove it from there?
EDIT: Ahaha, nope. Nevermind!
EDIT2: So I reflashed it and all went well, now, how can I make it so that the status icons fill in the void that it left? Now it's just an awkward space between the battery and sound icon.

You should be able to ADB push so you don't have to reflash your ROM, but that specific framework-res.apk will only work with the ROM it came from in the beginning.

I've been looking around for a few hours now trying to figure out how to edit these xml files with no luck. I've found numerous tutorials but none of them seem to get me in the right direction. I can't get passed opening the files.
I've tried TextWrangler on my Mac and Notepad++ in Windows ... both give me a bunch of giberish.
I am able to see a few lines of txt like layout_height and textColor but there are no values listed to edit??? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong xml files?
Ultimately I'm trying to see if I can adjust the layout and txt color of the notification pulldown.
Any suggestions?

When you go to extract the apk, just decompile, DO NOT extract. (If using apkmanager)
Then I use Notepad++ for any changes. Just remember to not extract the apk, just decompile it, then go into the projects folder and it will be in there.

I believe you can actually adjust the size of that by adjusting the size of the images. Try making the images wider, and leave the height the same, and it "should" shrink the images, and in turn shrink the bar.

As far as the update zip... I couldn't quite figure it out but I got it to work. There's probably an easier way, but i extracted a zip I downloaded from UOT and replaced the framework_res with my updated one. Then I used testsign.jar (requires java SDK) to sign the update.
I dont have access to the links I found for this, if someone else has a better way please let us know.

Thanks MT.. I will try to get on.. what site and channel? The app labels I can't take credit for. I installed adw launcher and a free red theme.. would have to look it up again. That takes care of the dock and app drawer and icons and labels. I guess you would have to install adw and the theme yourself to get the whole effect.
The notification pull down menu I edited in UOT except for the gps, bt, airplane ect was just MT's Revolt icons I just colored them red from green using paint.net. I want to change the top bar icons.. just have to find some I like. The battery mod was in UOT Kitchen.
I tried to set the wallpaper as "default_wallpaper" in lge-res.apk but after replacing the lge-res.apk in /system/framework it doesn't actually set the wallpaper after rebooting. Wonder if it would after flashing if that makes a difference? or would that be in the script? Or could I only do that if I were modding a entire ROM?
I will try to do something with adw launcher so I can call it my own but lacking time right now. Thanks for the help!!

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks gabwerkz that's what i meant ^_^ When you say decompile you refer to decompile the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk?

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

Thank you very much dude, you're the best!!!! hope to see your theme cooked soon !!!
hope to see someone make a minimalistic theme for v20n soon
If someone else is interested in Porting ROMS, Building CM7 from Source OR Theming.
This is for you guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273718&highlight=[All+In+One+Guide+for+Dummies]
Hope you guys learn fast as some are already doing new themes.
Remember that are various files involved:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk now in Gingerbread
Are there in this new ROM lge-res.apk and suires.apk?? They were in Froyo, pretty important.
I haven't even looked at this V20 Rom since I'm in CM7 and moving to HD2 in a few days.
Good luck, it looks you are doing great!

I'd love to see this Theme on V20N.
I'm not skilled enough to port it by myself.

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.
