[Q] Converting a theme - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

Hi there,
till today, i used a DHD rom from rafpigna with revolution theme. Now, i flashed imilka RAM incredible (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963521) with new sense version nad i am wondering now, if i can get the revolution theme here as well. I allready found it in the incredible section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736487
but now, i dont know, how to convert it. I allready recognized, that the files in theme-zip-file are placed in a wrong folger hierarchy, but when i tried to use the same hierarchy as my actual rom (sd-ext) and pack it as zip (winrar), it wont install. Is it that simple just to change the hierarchy or do i need something else? How may i repack it to an installable zipfile after?
Thanks a lot,
cmoe

Urgh ok, lemme see whats goin on
i had a similar issue with metamorph
just unzip the file using your computer and extract files to a folder on your sd card, use the existing theme button in metamorph and select the .thm file.
works for me my motorola a855 android is running the ICE theme. no custom rom, just root access.
cheers!
Very nice theme. When will you be putting it back up? I am running Manup's Eclair v1.5, will this work for that ROM when you put it back up?

[Q] few themes for cyanogen 6.1

hey people.
I've rooted my wildfire with cyanogenrom 6.1 and i want to try some new themes.
The problem is that every theme i find for cyanogen dont work on 6.1 i have only found one, and its the prototype/pink theme. iIs there a thread for a list of themes or something?
Also, when i install the themes, should i do it in recovery with the theme renamed to update.zip? or should i use theme injector?
And i've downloaded theme injector but i dont really know how to use it because im supposed to get a new rom named "themed.romname.zip" right? i get 2 files one called rom and the other one theme
if i get all that working, do i have to wipe/restore to use the new theme?

Is it really that hard to extract a theme from a Rom?

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...
I just want to modify notification bar...
I am on darky's 7.7...i will have to look for compatible theme

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.

have you rebooted after install? if yes, try a full wipe. and be sure to have the LATEST radio. otherwise no gingerbread for you..
I'm not on this ROM, but without wifi I do not test
everything seems to be working
I will test that tonight
added my theme part ^^
Nice going Hawky!
Good to see some progress on the IS..
Weve been busy on the DS ourselves... pop around and let me know what you think of my CoreDroid port
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060742
P.S
When you get a minute can you check something in clockwork on your IS.
I think it may be a bug in the DS but whenever i use the format cache command in edify (yes it is typed correctly lol) the recovery doesnt flash the zip but instead aborts installation with a status 1 error code.
Just curious...
Cheers pal!
P.S
sorry for the o/t

[Q] Thunderbolt Skin - .apk and .zip files

Hi all -
Newbie to the forum here - as well, newbie to the Thunderbolt!
I have a question regarding downloading new skins for the TB. First off, is there a good location to find a variety of skins?
Secondly, the ones I have found are usually downloaded in a .zip format and I am unable to convert them to an .apk format. I have tried renaming them, but this doesn't work for me.
Can someone tell me how to locate ones with the extension .apk and/or how to use the ones that are in .zip format?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks much,
Sean
You need to be rooted. And then you flash em. You can't just theme like that. The best without root is using launcher pro

Its android from scratch, community built. Fast stable and has lots of features

I have downloaded a few on here without rooting your phone idk what that guy is talking about. just get astro file manager and use it to install the apk file manager. its hard to search the forums on this place cuz theres so many ppl using all these roms and all this crazy crap i havent figured out yet. i dont wanna screw with my phone. i just want it to look cool with some .apk skins. theres a thread on here somewhere in the HTC desire section that someone posted a bunch of skins that work for the thunderbolt that i downloaded.\
