Need a bit of help theming. - Android Themes

I'm looking to learn to theme. I've read all of the stickied posts at the top here, and have a basic understanding. What I really want to do is modify this theme to have these statusbar icons and this statusbar.
I decompiled the ICS theme using APK Manager. When I open the ICS theme, I go in and find "Statusbar_backgroung.png". Then I copy the statusbar from the labeled iphone theme (I resized it to 320x25px) and save it as the same, so I have replaced one with the other. However, there are like 3 or 4 statusbar.png's in the ICS theme, some are .9.png's. Also, the one that is just called "statusbar_background.png" in the original ICS theme is just a small block, and I am replacing it with one that is 320x25.
That is all I'm trying to do for now, just modify the statusbar of that theme. Once I get that working, I'll try the icons. My problem is it won't compile using APK manager once I've changed the statusbar. It starts, but then I get an error.
Did any of that make any sense? I must be tired...
I'm on Windows, and I've been trying to do this for ages.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, this is killing me!

Well, I have the ics theme, all I really want is the ICS Theme with the iPhone labeled theme statusbar and the suave miui theme statusbar icons. It would be much appreciated if you did it for me, but at the same time I want to learn so I can do it by myself in the future.
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

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.

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

[Request] CM 7 Theme Chooser "MattedBlues"

Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?

But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.
Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

[Q] Need to locate these files? Help please

Hi i would like some help which would be nice from any Theme Creator or Dev because they will probably know where to look.
So can anyone tell me which files need to be changed to make the volume & brightness bars in quicksettings pulldown bar to change the bar color? i have changed the color via framework, system ui or htc res, rosie, settings files but.... not sure which files i changed in what location that did that?
Also which file do i need to locate to change the button pressed on the home screen? Cause i wanna get rid of the green sense look to my phone, my phone is looking pretty modded & i know how to use Photoshop to change PNGs & know how to mod APKs too.
Any help would be great i have tried the search bar on here & also in google but didnt get any results & to be honest i know people on XDA will know this.... thanks in advance
The progress bar color in quick settings is defined by this file: common_progress_full.9.png (in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi)
Are you using a Gingerbread 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5 rom? If yes, the button press color in the homescreens can't be changed. At the moment all available tools fail with decoding the images.
In Sense 2.1, you have to edit Rosie.apk. For Sense 3 (+ GB 2.3.3 or .4), fusion.apk has to be edited with m10 tool.
I can give you more details if you want to.
Thanks
Thanks for that but i cant locate it in my system ui/res/drawable-hdpi? i tried looking in htc/rs/draw-hdpi too? cant find that common_progress_full.9.png? could you check again for me or if have time upload the file? i cant see why it would be missing though?

You have to load the Rosie.apk with m10 editor, then decompile the Rosie_navbar.m10 file and change the following opacity values from 1 to 0.0099999998. If you set them to 0, pressing on the buttons will have no effect.

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/
what are u saying guys????u can edit EVERY aspect of any LG ROM without the lockscreen & the icons!!!!...check out my themes' sceenshots in this thread!!!!

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

Ah, they meant the Power widget notification icons.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks gabwerkz that's what i meant ^_^ When you say decompile you refer to decompile the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk?

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.

Thank you very much dude, you're the best!!!! hope to see your theme cooked soon !!!
hope to see someone make a minimalistic theme for v20n soon
If someone else is interested in Porting ROMS, Building CM7 from Source OR Theming.
This is for you guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273718&highlight=[All+In+One+Guide+for+Dummies]
Hope you guys learn fast as some are already doing new themes.
Remember that are various files involved:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk now in Gingerbread
Are there in this new ROM lge-res.apk and suires.apk?? They were in Froyo, pretty important.
I haven't even looked at this V20 Rom since I'm in CM7 and moving to HD2 in a few days.
Good luck, it looks you are doing great!

I'd love to see this Theme on V20N.
I'm not skilled enough to port it by myself.

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.
