[Q] Statusbar PulldownMod for CM7 - HDPI

I wanted to try this mod but am confused at one of the install steps...
How to:
- move "PulldownMod.zip" in /sdcard/...
- apply with MetaMorph and Nandroid before!
- you will get FC when applying SystemUI folder -> just reboot and all is fine

What is meant by apply with MetaMorph? Not familiar with that.

Metamorph is an application for theming, it's available in the market.

[Q] Making Minor Theme Modifications

Hello Devs,
I'm interested in making a few very minor modifications to the overall theme for my phone. I'm currently using FireFly, and although I like it for the most part, I'm not very fond of the current animation used to display dialogs.
I currently develop for Android, so I'm familiar with aspects of applying styles and themes to my own app as well as using styles from within the android.jar. I've read a few things about doing this, but I'm hoping there's a way to clear up some loose ends.
1. If I were to just open up and modify the main FireFly zip package, paricularly the files under /system/framework/framework-res.apk, would it be possible to to zip it back up, flash back to stock and then follow the usual procedure to install the Rom?
2. Is it possible to modify that .apk and just upload it directly to the my current rom?
3. Do I need to be concerned with apk signing?
Thanks to everyone in advance,
Jeremiah

Im not a moderator but I believe this should be in themes section or Q&A. =/
From what Ive done. You can modify the zip packages. Best results I'v had is using 7zip to modify them internally. Ive only modified images in them, and my little experience you have to keep the same amount of images it had from the beginning. Im not sure if that is changed by modifying the xml's or something else.

Damn it... I had a feeling I missed a section this would be belong more in, my eyes glazed right past the words Theme in the App/Theme section. A mod is more than welcome to move it, sorry for the mistake.
Thanks for the advice though

I haven't done any themeing myself mainly because I'm too lazy, but from what I understand based off what other people who do theme have said to modify the number of images you need to edit the corresponding xml file.

Might help alleviate some of your worries about signed apks and what not.

Many of the colors are handles by XML. You will need to decomplie apks to modify xml files and then recompile them again.
You can use APK Manager to decomplie and recomple the APK packages.
Also, go through this thread.

Takes time to do it. I used to do a lot of themeing to roms but had to hang it up. You have to know what picture files to change and then what each line is in each .XML.

Awesome, thanks so much for this, exactly the information I was looking for.

Share MIUI Themes

This is a simple thread where you can find and download themes for MIUI.
Rules of this thread to keep it clean:
1. Every theme post MUST contain a direct (click link and download immediately without seeing a page) or semi direct (no captcha, waiting time, or download limit.). Direct is preferred.
2. Every theme post must contain screen shots.
3. Every non-theme post can not have any special formatting like sizes, screenshots, or colors.
Hopefully this will be a clean thread to share MIUI themes...

I'd love to see some new themes

i think theres already a thread like this.. the share your miui MTZ thread

That's share your BACKUP mtz.

This thread should be trashed.

I hate just seeing screenshots and no downloads...

new themer here

So I decompiled the "catwoman" theme, to mod it and try making my own theme. I just wanted to mod the backgrounds first just to try it. So I got the wallpapers.apk and common.apk and replaced the images that wrre in them with the images I wanted in there. I renamed them to match the originals. And made sure they were in .png format. Then I recompiled and the theme installed just fine but the backgrounds don't show up at all. And I can't figure it out. I also would like to swap out the icons.

I could never get mine to "install" with the APK - I would have to install the regular theme, then manually copy my modified base.apk in the corresponding folder and reboot.
