could someone create an theme out of the LiGux rom that can be used with CM7 themechooser?
i am using LiGux right know so if you need some files from the system you can ask some of them can be found HERE
you can do it yourself
grab a theme (big theme), let's say:
sonneyekhons' ICS theme.
Then replace all xml's and png's with yours (delete the ICS themed PNG's wich are not in your folders) and install your new themechooser APK.
Not hard.
The easiest way (if your theme has no text colors and extra stuff) is to replace all images in res/drawable-mdpi with the ones from your ROM

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

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

I love this theme and wish this for my Desire
+1 on that one!
+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
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.

Nice, can't wait!
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?
Can't wait for this theme!!!
I would love this theme on my Nexus One!
+1... Theme is amazing!

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!

I tried decompiling the standard t-mobile sample theme apk, and copying the res folder and Manifest.xml then re-compiling and signing, but it wont compile.. can someone help me out?
I have a htc desire running CM7.0.3 with the Sculpted theme (latest version, applied with CM7's Theme Chooser).
I've looked at the folders in the apk file and i can replace the .png files to get a different background for notifications. I also want to change the font colors for the notification. Is there a file in the theme apk that i can edit to change the font colors?
I've read another post about editing the framework-res.apk file from the phone. does that work with CM7's theme chooser themes?
Thanks in advance

HOW TO MOD THE THEME IN CM7
any one help me
tell me how to mod cm7 theme.apk files
This is a theme template for MIUI v4 (ICS) - the lockscreens still work with no extra work, but most of the themes need to be redone as files are moved around and have different names. So I decided to put together this template. It's got the uncompiled .9.pngs so you will need to compile them before you put the theme together. It's also got the theme_values.xml files in each folder that had a colors.xml with all the values from the colors.xml.
I put this together for myself, working on a theme, and I figured I'd share my template. This should be pretty complete. The build I'm working with has stock music player, so that's what decompiled in there, if I'm missing anything just let me know and I'll update it.

Edit 1/20 - Fixed framework-res and framework-miui-res folders. Still can't seem to get anything but the toggle tab label color to change with theme_values.
thanks,
you have the theme_values.xml from lockscreen
great job

Apologies to everyone who downloaded this template. I accidentally included only the framework-miui-res the first time then accidentally combined the folders. I have separated the folders and the template is now correct for framework-res and framework-miui-res. If you have downloaded, please redownload.
any idea with the default lockscreen template in v4?
i want to get the manifest.xml file, but never found it!
