Removing Stericson Lockscreen from a Theme

Does anyone know how to remove the stericson lockscreen from the framework so that i have the original lockscreen back. i am running on cyan 4.0.4 with compatible theme- currently melange 0963. i wanted to use xinvert or smorgwhite 4.0.4 but both have stericson's lockscreen. does anyone know how and what to change in the framework or whatever else inside the zip folder. i know how to resign the zip, just need the guidelines on what to insert and remove. i have previous versions of the smorgwhite theme and messed around with the zz files in the new version (i.e. i deleted them got boot loops, replaced them with two files from the 4.0.1 theme of smorgwhite and got boot loops, replaced the framework-res.apk from smorgwhite401 to 404 and got stuck at tmobile g1 and i even replaced the whole framework folder from smorgwhite401 to 404 and again stuck at tmobile g1 screen). id really appreciate the help. thanks

replace services.jar with the one from the theme template cyanogen provides
replace the settings.apk with the one from that same template
replace the framework-res.apk with the one from the template
remove framework.jar from the theme
replace android.policy.jar with the one from the template
with that done run this through ultra spikey's theme porter (the un-modified theme as themeold.zip and the one you pulled all of the files from as themenew.zip) then go into the framework-res.apk/res/drawable folder and remove all of the images that start "zz" they are at the bottom of the folder so they are easy to find.
Now you have the unsigned theme without the lockscreen.
Sign the theme and you are set to flash it.
i haven't tested this, but would imagine it works.

thanks for the quick response man. i'll give this a go
edit: only problem is though, where do i get the theme template since cyanogen removed all of his files after the google issue? so since i don't have the theme template, i just took the files directly from the signed 4.0.4 cyan rom. gonna test it out now

Cyan Theme Template

may somebody make a theme template of cyans latest 4.2.11.1 for me cant seem to find it on his post nor website since he doesnt make them anymore :/
greatly aprreciated thanks

just download any theme that is for CM-4.2.11.1 and start replacing the images with the ones you want for your theme. I dont really know if Cyan is still putting out theme templates, i havent seen one in a while.
-BMFC

yeah i just did that...now to take out the google apps from the htc rom :/
making a little Gnome-ish theme

Make sure to post it up id like to see it =)

I have a default cm theme template I do for each rom updates. Mostly for my own themes use and to get back to stock when things break by flashing themes. It only has like open source apps though, so it doesn't come with stuff like gmail and market and youtube and such. You can always add the apk you theme of it inside the /app folder and sign it again if you want to do that.
I could upload it and post it if anyone wants.

if i flashed sir mez theme and wanted to get the icons unthemed could i flash this to do the trick?

it would un-theme every .apk that is in that .zip. I think there is a stock metamorph somewhere, you could take every image out of the folders except for the app icon image and do it that way.

oh ok...thanks man

It'll only get you back to default cyan rom if the sirmez theme didn't touch any of the google apps. Otherwise you'll see most things back to default and things like gmail/youtube/market may stay themed.

Theme-Porter [v1.0] [Any Firmware / Rom Compatible] [WINDOWS]

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.

amazing concept... and most likely awesome work like your others.. keep them coming!

definitely gonna give this a try .....
thanks

has anyone actually tried this?
I would try it myself but i don't have the time atm.

Had a minor hiccup in my script , fixed/uploaded.

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>

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

So if I already have cm6.1.1 installed, can I just install the Gingerbreadxml.rar and framework-res.apk for the theme to work? Or do I have to reinstall cm6.1.1 with GM theme built in? Thanks

You could, but I would just flash the rom zip over what you have as it has a few extras like the gingerbread browser and phone apk.
Nice find, brswatt. Finally a full theme that doesn't break my tethering. Updating my thread to point to this one.

You could, but you wouldn't have the gingerbread dialer.
So just flash the whole thing. It doesn't hurt.
Then just put the xml on your card.

Here is a LiveWallpapers.apk to adb push or include in that rom before you flash. I replaced the cyanogenmod wallpaper with the nexus s wallpaper.

Does the nexus s live wallpaper work on the Aria? I tried many times before, but it didn't work.

Thanks this eases my gingerbread crave a little

This isn't the actual nexus s wallpaper....it is our livewallpapers.apk with that background in so it is identical.

Did u use v2.1 for the ariaGB ROM u provided the link for?

Yes, but they keyboard didn't seem to apply right.
Attn1 is in the process of helping me make a flashable zip for the framework, dialer, and keyboard.

Ive got a multi-language gingerbread keyboard the size is 6.2 mb if your interested.

Well, when the flashable zip thread pops up in the themes forum, you can link it there, or I'll link it in the first post.
edit: I posted it here

wow, many thanks. Im going to try out right now

I put the gingerbread.xml in the cmparts.apk, so we don't need to save it to sdcard/cmtheme.
About the flashable, by the time you run the cleanup.sh, /system might be not mounted. Nevermind, files will be overwritten anyway. But I still think files delete and set-perm should be done within update-script.
EDIT: File updated. Sorry I didn't know it only loads internal theme files that contain the word "STOCK".

Nice theme, but is there a way to get the old notification pull down back? I like the dark themed pulldown better.
Edit: Nevermind...the CMTheme changed it.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

brswattt, I fixed the framework-res power notification dropdown icons to all black:

Official ICS App Icons and ICS Framework!

Let's get a real theme going!
Framework: http://goo.gl/kVTm9
SystemUI: http://goo.gl/Hu9oz
App Icons: http://goo.gl/G0GyK
Once again, thanks to @p3droid!

.... now THAT'S what I'm talkin 'bout!

So I would just flash the files? Or what? Sorry I am new lol..

These are the icons/images used in ICS. You would use them to build a theme. They are just collections of .png files. Not flashable, not a mod.....just files for themers to use.

Awesome! Cant wait to see some cool ics themes.

But I could edit the framework res apk of the ics theme already and put them on it? I flashed the theme over already, just want the icons to match
