There's no built-in option to change the theme on the stock Xperia. You can make significant changes to the UI if you use a home launcher app such as ADW or LauncherPro from Market if that will be enough for you. But if it's really the theme you want to change, what you have to do is replace the stock theme file called framework-res.apk located in your phone's internal memory at /system/framework/ with another framework-res.apk that's of a theme of your liking. But first, your phone needs to be rooted and have xRecovery installed.
This tutorial automates the replacement of framework-res.apk for you with a script:

root,install cm7/9/10, download theme from market open theme chooser. walah! you changed your theme
With permission from the developer, I would like to share this with you guys. Its an add-on to be flashed over CM9 Nightlies. Its mainly for those who love the stock look of Samsung and includes some Samsung Apps + TW UX + Sony Walkman Player (which i personally think is awesome!)
http://www.mediafire.com/?r9zgl68tzbdc331
****To be flashed over CLEAN CM9****
>Back Up Apps
>Factory Reset
>Flash Zip via CWM
>Restore Apps
More details and screenshots available at the original thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667051
Pls dont forget to thank the developer if you like it.
will it work on cm9 experimental build?
yes it does. im tried on mine. the first boot takes somewhat long. took about 20 mins if i remember right. be warned, dont flash if u dont like touchwiz (latest) or stock samsung apps cos it adds a few of those.
the new weather clock.apk not work for me.... problem loading widget... is it work for you guys?
not working on mine either :-( sorry.
hey there,
i wanted a few samsung apps, but not the launcher as i still want to remain my CM9 launcher. if i straight away flash this, the touchwiz ui will replace the stock ICS launcher?
theres still the option to select the Trebuchet launcher. or u can install another launcher over it like Nova or Apex which looks exactly the same like Trebuchet but with more functions.
I want to flash this for the default Samsung camera app. But if I flash this, will my entire system, ie the settings, menu etc look like Samsung s ics Rom?
i dont think camera will be changed. if u have downloaded the zip, check the system/app folder inside the zip. all the additional apps will be found there.

Actually I can't just copy Samsung camera as it requires some Samsung framework and tw elements. So was asking if after u flash this zip, do u have Samsung camera or does copying stock camera from Samsung ics Rom can work or not.

i've checked. the samsung camera app is not included in this add on. to answer ur othr question, i dont think copying the stock samsung camera will work either, for the same reasons u stated above

Actually if u have an ics or even a gb nandroid backup, extract it and find polaris office apk from it and copy it to the location you found it. And change permission.

Hey folks I was searching in the galaxy Y themes forums and i found this awesome theme that is exactly alike jb 4.2
I was wondering if this would work in our mini , in the comments the themer said that it won´t work on cm7 it only work on the stock bases custom roms for galaxy Y , So MAYBE it could work in a sotck base custom rom for our galaxy mini. Obviously i didnt try to flash it but maybe copying ONLY some apps (contacts and phone are great and enough for me ) to system/app it might work.
I tried but it didn´t work maybe i did something wrong or i didn´t gave the right permissions or maybe it only work it you flash it with the rom and not replacing the apk
I open this thread for any idea to make it work , not the complete theme, but some apps at least.(System ui and framework-res i dont think will work)
Here´s the link http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134382

Dude,
Different systemui, framework, phone, mms, etc not even work on different roms of same phone

Nice very! Please where to download? is new samsung apps?:good:
wait a 2-3 days
i can't upload files now
but anyone can help me. if you know a very good task killer app, please pm me
the s-voice use more 40 Mb of RAM and we need to stop it automatically after use it
thanks
I never allowed using my ROM as a base. Either you remove this or I stop development.
You can provide it as a flashable .zip, not just re-upload my ROM.
ok. i don't upload your ROM. see i say wait 2-3 day for your let
but i can make a flasheble apps for your ROM & share it?
TheWhisp allowed to make it. but this is not a new ROM with his ROM base. it just a flashable .zip for CM10
You can't share paid apps, "Smart Keyboard Pro" is a paid application in Google Play.
thanks for it
i will use free version
If this is just customization of some thing than please put everything HERE so I can update first post. BTW you are sharing my work (flashable zip with TW5 launcher and widgets) without my permission so please remove this thread or you and this thread should be reported ASAP. Tnx

black mailing is not the right way mate :/ ...modding rom's is not just a reupload of rom, of all ppl here, u have better understanding of how android works..u work with png's and make a lot of changes in xml/smali for extra mod's that arent merged in source by CM team..which is fun..but without modding and experimentation, there wont be any fun...just boring zombie dev's and users who arent allowed to work with compiled rom's..
look at mini forum..based on ur great work of cm9 and cm10, there wouldnt have been so many roms to choose from for users, without modding them...people will eventually get tired of using the same rom for over a period of time..
in the end, fun is all that matters in android since we can do anything with it...lighten up a bit, let them do wat ever they want...its not like they wont mention u in credits..telling people not to use ur work will only take the fun out of it...just sayin my thoughts sincerely..no offense meant
It's actually not blackmailing, but whatever... Taking others work and putting it into another's work (taking midzan's apps and adding them to my ROM) without doing any modding at all (at least I don't think adding/removing apps to a ROM is modding). + he asks for tutorial on how to do that. Either you contribute with some meaningful updates/patches/fixes etc. or you keep your Winzip ROM for a personal usage. I am not spending my free time so others can just re-upload my ROM. It's the same if someone takes your theme and changes, for example, the color of battery icon and re-uploads it.
hey hey hey
i port many apps
midzan only give me launcher & weather widget
many of this apps is my work
ok
say me how to delete theard & i will remove it
I didn't say you have to remove anything.. just make a flashable .zip. Or something else...

u mean change only icons ? if thats the case , then u need a theme manager to change the theme. some themes change only icons, some change everything. but the icon set is inside a theme. themes support specific launchers. so its possible that ur favorite launcher doesnt support ur favorite theme ( for the icons ). the other way around is to use a root explorer and change every little icon manually inside apks.

if u can tell me what to change and where to change (what apk 2 change) it would be great.

Better yet, you can make your own theme. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44609532
You can get everything you need to know about making your own theme there.

the stock one is LGHome3.apk.
since u use an alternative launcher look for it in data/app. apps u install go there. in system/app are the system apps that have root access.
well I found it as u said, it's LGHome3.apk.
used ninjamorfh, exchanged the icons, finished my project and wooow: I soft brick my phone
the launcher disappeared and after reset it was stuck in the logo.
so after about 4-5 nervous hours of pushing apk thru adb, recovery, software reset, wiping it all , download rom, flash stock rom with kdz,
restore my 120 apps, restoring backup files, I was able to bring my 4x back to life as it was before.
so conclusion :
some things don't worth to **** with :laugh: LOL
if u want to change ur app drawer icon don't be hard headed like me, create a theme or install a launcher that can do it.
anyway,
anyone that helped me in this thread .....thanks

i guess there is a reason why there is no app that can change manually the app drawer icon, It could get messy.
I used ninjamorph app (root app), it should decompile/recompile the apk automatically.

if it is only for icon , u can just treat the apk as if it was a zip. just open it with the zip manager and force the icon to replace the one u want.
