Try it out and tell us =)
But looks very good. One thing I was missing since switching from symbian.

We need a Compiz cube for the home screens and app menu. :|

It looks awesome but then u realize its just slowing your experience.
Regardless, have you tried just decompiling framework-res and pushing the anim folder ?

Lol I thought if someone else tried it out it would be great, I don't have a nandroid backup atm and it takes long

"Anybody tried this?" is never an acceptable thread title. Please change it.
Also, thread moved to Q&A.

Nandroid backup ?
All you do is
1. Get Apk Manager
2. Decompile framework-res
3. copy the anim folder over
4. compile the apk (say yes to system, say yes to keep folder thing), delete resources.arsc and the anim folder
5. Push to your phone and reboot
Recovery plan :
1. Go into recovery
2. Push framework-res to /tmp
3. Adb shell. su. cp /tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Done

Think u took my post the wrong way. From my viewpoint it looked as if you were over complicating the situation. I was just trying to save you some steps.
Sorry if i came across alternatively.

Are you deleting the resources.arsc ? (Assuming you're following the directions posted, with the keep folder method)

I followed your instructions...

Anyway guys the metamorph works perfectly, the custom animations are there, just apply like any other metamorph. Backup framework-res.apk for original animations

[Q] Noob questionnnn. How do i flash icon zip files?

Exactly what question says on title. I tried doing it through clockwork recovery, but froze on (installing updates..). Answers would be very much appreciated, thanks.

You have to unzip the file and change icons like that. You can't simply flash the zip. What launcher are u using?

Im using launcherpro right now. I figured that was the method. I went into root explorer and extracted the zip file and extracted all the png files to my extracted folder. But now im stuck on how to save them in my gallery so i custom put them on from launcherpro. But i dont wanna do all that if theres another way.

I could not get the EMMC to mount to my PC but other than that everything seems good.

Now if I could just change the 3G icon to the one that comes with the Inc 2 I will be all set. I have tried Ninjamorph and flashing a zip file but cannot get it changed.

The icons you're looking for are in the SystemUI.apk, in res/drawable-hdpi. The pngs you are looking for are called stat_sys_data_*_3g_lte.png
You should be able to extract those images (should be 3-4), and remove the "_lte" from the filenames, and then drag these images back into the res/drawable-hdpi folder, and use adb or root explorer to push the SystemUI.apk to the data/*-System/system.app folder (look into how the rom is set up, that's just a default path). Once you have it in place, reboot, and you should be set.
Make a nandroid before doing this, as I'm no themer lol. If you have any trouble, let me know and I'll hook you up.

Do I do the extraction on my PC or on the phone itself. Also, where would I get the files to extract as this ROM does not have the 3G icons I wan and I would not be able to extract from this ROM

No bud put the apk on your pc's desktop, extract it and inside the extracted folder go to the path that fowty named out and look for the exact file names as well. Rename them like he said. Now open the apk on your desktop...the actuall apk and drop the renamed images into there proper path. and then push that apk back to data/*-System/system.app

Just wanted to report that emmc mount to pc does not appear to work for me, either. Emmc music works fine.
Just curious, joelz kingdom rom appears to have a modified mail.apk that bypasses the Exchange mail security. If I wanted to apply that apk to this rom, should it work? I tried replacing just the mail.apk, and the app opens, but fc's when I select the mail provider to add. Just wondering you guys' thoughts, didn't know if I needed to also copy other files, or if it just won't work. Thanks.

Ok I found the four icons in a systemui.apk folder that I had on the SD card of the phone. How do I get the renamed icons back onto the phone? Do I do it on the SD card or the phone's internal memory. On this stock 3.o ROM, I cannot mouth the phone's internal memory to my PC

That's what the edit button is for
The easiest way to do this is on a pc with 7zip, as you just drag and drop and done. If you can shoot me the SystemUI.apk from the rom I'll get it set up for you.

How do I get the systemui.apk from the ROM if I cannot mount the emmc to my pc. The system info will not be on the SD card correct?

If the rom is on your computer open the rom in 7zip and find it that way..

[GUIDE][TUT]::Modifying & Making Your Own Custom Roms::(New Method)

This is a detailed tutorial about modifying or making your own custom roms....but not as regular method... It is a new method...
So...lets start....
In this Guide...you will come to know how to--
Modifying rom..
Adding apps and removing..
Changing bootanimation, rom's name, fonts, ringtones...etc.
A new and easy method to make the rom....
::Requirements::
Galaxy Mini..
A windows PC.
Some basic knowledge..
Time and Patience(most imp)
::Important Tools::
7zip or any other zip manager>>Download Here<<
Update Zip Packager>>Download Here<<
Notepad++ >>Download Here<<
Dsixda's Kitchen..(OPTIONAL)..>>XDA Link<<
::About "BaseRom".zip::
Now, suppose, your base rom is CyanogenMod7.zip...
So...when u will extract that zip...u will see there...
META-INF (Folder)
system (Folder)
boot.img
META-INF :
This folder contains the files which are related to your recovery....in simple words...these files guide your recovery to flash zip, set permissions and some other things...
So...the change that we want here is to add the text that our recovery shows while flashing the rom...look in the extras for the tut...
boot.img :
This file contains Kernel of ur rom....and it also contains splash screen of ur rom....which u can edit...!! Look in extras..
NOW, the main thing..
::Main Tutorial::
Download your base rom and flash it....(without editing anything).
Flash Gapps..
Flash some other material such as Bravia Engine, Audio Enhancements, Scripts, Tweaks, etc
Flash each n every thing that you want in your rom...
Flash any theming material..which u want in ur rom
If you are modifying some system apps such as phone.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk....then modify them one by one and flash them..
When you are done your theming, tweaking, and rest of the things...(now, you are running your rom having your desired theme, scripts, tweaks...)
Now....go to CWM recovery and do a Nandroid backup..
After the backup is completed...locate to the folder in sd-card where the backup file is created..(SD-Card>clockworkmod>backup>.....)
In this "backup" folder...you will see a folder named as the date when you have taken the backup..
In that folder...you will see a file - system.ext4.tar.
Copy that system.ext4.tar file in your PC...
Extract the file...you will see a folder - system
Now, this "system" folder is your Rom's system folder.. having all scripts, tweaks and theming...
Just delete the folder "lost+found" in that system folder and take this folder to the folder where your META-INF and boot.img are...
IMPORTANT:You have to delete "xbin" folder from the extracted system folder and then u have to copy and paste the original xbin folder to that folder..
::Extras::
Editing build.prop :
Locate to the system folder....open build.prop and edit it as you want by adding lines to it...refer this link...
Adding and Removing Apps :
Under system>>app folder copy the apps that you want to add to your rom...also remove the apps that you want...but click here to know the list of apps that can be removed...
Adding UI print to the meta-inf :
Locate to the file updater-script (META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script).
Open the file updater-script with Notepad++...
Scroll down to the last line of the matter...
Copy and paste the following code exactly below the last line
ui_print("Have A Nice Day");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should type your own desired text at the place of Have A Nice Day..(with "....")
Done!!
After u have done....leave the META-INF folder as it is....for now..
Editing Splash Screen :
Extract the boot.img by using dsixda's kitchen....it is very easy...
After that....refer to this LINK for editing boot splash screen......and then repack the boot.img again using dsixda's kitchen
Editing boot animation of rom :
Download your desired bootanimation.zip.
Rename it "bootanimation.zip".
Now, locate to the folder system>media
You will see a file bootanimation.zip there..
Replace that file with your desired boot animation..(renamed)..
Done!!
Adding ringtones :
Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
Changing the Fonts :
Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
Locate to the folder system>fonts>
Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
Changing the ROM's name :
Note: It will be shown in settings>about phone>
Open build.prop with Notepad++
Find the line-
ro.cm.version="Base rom's name"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type your rom's name instead of "Base rom's name"..
Save..
Done!!
Theming Your Rom :
Refer to the following links for theming guides-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422116
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469987
Now you have your MODIFIED : -
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img
::Creating your ROM.zip::
Extract the provided UpdateZipPackager.zip
You will see->>placehere(folder)
>>others(folder)
>>script.bat
Now, copy your modified META-INF, system and boot.img in the folder "placehere" in UpdateZipPackager..
Run the script.bat in UpdateZipPackager..
It will ask something...type "n" and press enter..
Now, you will see a list in the script window...
Choose option 2 and press enter..
It will create an update.zip...
This is your roms zip..
Flash your rom and upload it to XDA..!!! Enjoy..!!
Plz...press thanks if I helped you with this guide...

NO, it won't be there.... ALl your apps and data will not be in this rom as we've not included the data folder data.ext4.tar (which is the one to store all your data).
SO, don't worry much about it.

Check your framework-res.apk for errors...as well as...check your meta-inf...try with an unedited meta-inf...and also..dont forget to replace that xbin folder with the original one...from base rom...also delete lost + found folder taken from system.ext4.tar ...try everything freshly..dont make anything wrong in update zip packager..in options selection...u will surely get success..

After I did the nandroid backup and went my backup folder, I only saw a "system.img" file inside the other folder - no "system.ext4.tar" ...what should I do in this case?

Oj-buddy, I am trying to follow your guide to make a custom ROM, but I find myself in a spot. You said that after I do the nanadroid backup, I'm supposed to go to: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(dated folder which contains my rom) where I will see "system.ext4.tar", but that's not what I see ;these are the files I see: android_ secure.img, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, sd-ext.img, system.img.....what should I do at this point?

You should use latest CWM recovery for it.....
or you can also extract system.img with magicISO tool...
both system.img and system.ext4.tar are same files..

[Q] How to install themes?

My Galaxy Note is running Classic Rom V6 ICS and I just downloaded a .zip theme pack. How do I go about?

Usually you run the pack and it installs, if it's third party, you need to extract and place into the system file.

I tried exploring the zip file and for every type of theme, there is an app folder and a framework folder filled with .apks. Does that mean I can run
the apks in any order for a chosen theme?

No. usually there are 2 folders
apps = you hve to place these apks in system/apps folder a d change permission to rw-r--r--
framework = place the *-res.apk in system/framework folder and change permission as above.
but. make sure if you replace any file, you keep a backup of that so that it something does not work, you can revert back
