ICS Theme my apps? - LG Thrill 4G

I'm using a ROM that has system apps with an ics theme but I was wondering how can I apply, if at all possible, the ics theme to my user apps?

You can't. The theme has modified system files.
You'd have to modify user apps to do that.

Indeed they would have to be individually themed. You get lucky on some 3rd party apps and they use the actual framework from the rom instead of their own drawables.
Now the catch is that everytime an app gets updated all the theming gets reverted. This is why you don't see too many people themeing 3rd party apps. Now if all you're doing is changing up some .png's then its just a matter of dropping them into the apk every time it updates. Xml mods would require decompiling/recompiling the apk with every update. No big deal on apps that don't update very often.
Give me an example of an app you want to theme and ill get you started with simple theming.

How do I o that, that is what I hate about flashing roms, I'm a noob and don't know how to keep my apps when I flash new roms and if the market does it now even better. So how would I do that?

You can always use an app like Titanium Backup to save all of your apps, then just download it agan when you flash a new ROm and restore the apps. Just restore the apps though, and then restore the data.

If you just want to do some basic theming to framework-res.apk and systemui.apk all you really need is 7zip and a way to sign packages, I use Androidsigner.

how would you edit the actual system apps? everytime i open them i just get a whole bunch of xml files. but unless im wrong, arent these just layout files that tell the app how to display?
Thank you, I am planning to release my own rom sometime next week

Inverted ICS APPS

Totally Inverted APPS (I take no credit for this)
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-apps-4-22-contacts-and-mms-updated/
Here's a link to inverted apps for ICS. I haven't seen this here.
I CWM flashed the Contacts and MMS right in.
I'm running CM9 Beta 2. After install, I had to do a reboot because for some reason the home screen and app drawer wouldn't populate. After that seems to be runnning fine... and very smooth.

its in the APPS section....
*facepalm*
super sweet, thank you sir. these combined with the reloaded statusbar mod = freaking awesome experience
excellent, these were updated to remove the phone apk errors I was getting on the newer CM9 beta 3 and AOKP builds.
edit: can someone move this to the apps section?
Have you tried to use the "phone" app since flashing that modded contacts app? Since they didn't include it with their zip file, you may find that it says it's not installed anymore, even though the APK is there.
Anyone know of an inverted gtalk that works with cm9 b3 or aokp. All the ones I've tried have borked my phone and can't even re install the stock one without start all over with clean install.

They work fine. But you have to flash them. You can't just push them to the /system/app.

I did try talk with a couple zips I found but they would either not take or I would get a non inverted one. I found a zip in djdarknights dark ice theme Chooser thread since my last post and it has a bunch of inverted apps in the zip and it flashed just fine over the colbalt theme I'm using.

Yes, because the black pixels are"off" pixels which would save battery compared to bright colors.

Run cm9 as stock. Don't flash other things if you want everything to work as it should.

Make a backup of your current mms apk first then uninstall and then boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, and flash the inverted mms apk and reboot.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
No, the inverted apps work ok with the exception of the contacts app, when you flash it, your phone will tell you there is no phone.apk when you try to use it. You can still make calls and get to the dialer through the people app, but it won't come up on it's own anymore.
That's what I thought. I've learned to live with all the bright white. Thanks.

Request: Stock Launcher theme ICS/Jelly Style

Hello everybody,
first of all i want to apologize for asking for it. But i definately can not do it myself.
I´m just looking for an .apk theme for stock Optimus UI which replaces the app drawer icon with the stock nexus style one,
cause i don´t like the default ones. That´s eveything i need, all the other desktop icons can be changed via Optimus UI launcher.
So if anyone has the same interest and likes to do something like this i would be more than happy.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
Daniel
Nova launcher or apex launcher
There is an app in lg smart world by it you can download themes for the stock launcher , made by lg .
I don't remember the name maybe "theme box" or something like that

Are you rooted? If yes, just copy and replace original file via es file explorer or total commander to /system/app
If you're not rooted then you can't install it.

Yeah i know, but unless i am not rooted i can not use widget drawer to place widgets on homescreen. It will be possible when we get jelly update till end of march (i hope/want to believe). But i really favour stock launcher so i think about root and have a try with this custon biz theme.

Well, not entirely true, you can still use the Widget drawer, cept it's going to be the Gingerbread style one. But yes, in order to have a true stock ICS or JB experience I guess we have to wait till LG updates roll out.
If you don't wanna root. I sure don't. Not yet atleast.

[Q] Touchwiz Launcher

Is there a way to install the Touchwiz launcher on Peach Sunrise or other roms? I tried pulling the file from /system/app out of the stock zip but when I flash it to /system/app on Peach nothing happens. It just shows up as uninstalled in Titanium. Any suggestions? I wanted to play around with it for fun.

I think it requires some framework also, not positive about that though
Edit: Maybe try installing as a normal app
Maybe also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767559 if you want tw4

Its possible, BUT it is trial and error. There are several touchwiz launcher apk's floating around, and I don't use gingerbread now that jelly bean is fully working. So just keep trying the apk's you find. Please keep in mind it MUST be installed as a system app with proper permissions or the launcher wont even be recognized as there.
