Hey guys...I don't know about all of you but I'm eager to start porting MattedBlues to and themeing my Nexus S!
I tried putting together a flashable theme zip but failed. Apparently I didn't have the update scripts setup correctly, but I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. I'm not good with the script stuff so I'm wondering if someone has or can make a flashable theme zip for me? Or if someone could point me in the right direction for properly doing the update scripts then I'm happy to figure it out. Once I have the base with METAINF (and proper udpate scripts), then I can get going on themeing this incredible device.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: SOLVED (I had to delete the 3 cert files in METAINF). Here's a sample zip (Zune Font Pack) that you guys can use a base: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11901383/ZuneFontPack1223.zip
To use this as a base for your theme, you'll want to add a "framework" folder and an "app" folder to the "system" folder and then place the themed/modified apks in their respective locations. Happy themeing!
so i tried to do a quick test to see if i could edit one of these theme chooser themes...
I took a random apk theme, opened up my favorite 7zip and properly renamed some battery icons and threw em in there, put the apk on my sd card and tried to install it...it failed,(app not installed) I tried to copy the apk to system/app...didnt work..data/app..didnt work..ive tried this with 2 different apk's as templates...cant get it to work.
could someone point me in the right direction so i can learn to build themes compatible with the theme chooser please?
all I've found is a few dead end threads on the subject....
buuuuuump.....

nope, thanks alot!
I figured out why the apk would not install though, thanks to a few people on another forum...I needed to delete the "META-INF" folder and re sign the apk. I used apkmanager...

Thought this would be a cool app to have on my phone. And found the app in the following thread: post #18
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099538&page=2
I downloaded this app but it won't run on incredible s. Or more specifically on any ROM except the Virtuos Unity sense 3.0 ROM(the sensation ROM port).
I posted this in the other threads but no one replied, that's why starting a new post.
I basically want to get that app working on our phones. So far i have made following progress :
1)Extracted the .apk
2)Separated the .dat & .Png files
The things that are remaining
3)Editing .xml files
4)Editing .png files
5)compiling the .apk
6)signing the .apk
Anyone have any idea about this or willing to help?? please let me know
Here's listing all the tools you will need :

And zip signer from android market is pretty useful for signing the app.
Anyone willing to help please reply..in the meantime I am trying to do all I can.
This Problem solved by downloading apkmanager.
Hi guys.
I just have to make a small change in the Settings App.
I have done that before on official cm7 and even on stock.
Problem is that if i just decompile the apk using apktool, then even compile it with no change at all. Then Sign It, and copy it to system /app with permissions..It just doesn't show up in the app drawer even after a reboot..
This is surely a problem with apktool, coz i'm not even changing anything, just decompiling and compiling.
The same for cm7 themes. i try to compile cm7 themes but they just don't work when i copy them to system /app.
I copied it to sd card and tried to install from sd card. And it works, but not when it's included in system /app.

Trying to make Settings.apk ICS Style for unofficial cm7. Making it work on the official cm7 was a left hand game. But I don't know what's the issue wid this one.
I tried apk manager, and it's getting errors at decompiling it.
Lemme see what else i can dig up. :/
Why is this flagged as urgent?
On: Which version of apktool do you use? The newer versions may not be compatible!

Try apk multi-tools
http://apkmultitool.com/node/14
it works without problems for me
your problem is that you're signing the apk. Stock apps, like Settings and SystemUI, cannot be signed. You need to keep the original apk (the one you've decompiled) and change files inside it.
