Yaaaay its out Tung91 .
Just did some initial testing, followed instructions to the 'tee' with installing everything but running into issues when Importing a .MTZ (in this case was just testing with MIcons Project v2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701281).
Below is the error I'm getting:
As you can see all dependencies (SDK/JDK and Ant are there). Hope you can fix !

Everything is running fine, mtz is imported fine, I even get the "APK build complete". But where is it built? I don't see any apk in the entire folder. Only a folder is created under Project folder. I even marked the "Open exported folder" but it doesn't. Please guide.

There's no bin folder there after running "Build APK".
Even though your tool says "APK build complete". -
I tried the MIcons and Crimp packages. They got their folder created under the Imported Package folder.
Spot anything wrong with my setup here?

Problem with path in propertiesfile
You see, project's root build.xml is looking for C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk/tools/ant/build.xml
Two issues with this. My Android sdk is not installed in that path. I had provided correct path in environment setup. But this tool took this path somehow. I manually edited this sdk.dir path in the properties file.
And ant 1.8.0 is minimum requirement [which is not mentioned anywhere] while I had 1.7.0. After installing 1.8.0, it ran fine.

hmm, i think i already add some code to find and fix sdk dir error in local.properties inside template folder in first run ( you will see "Your template has problem " in sys tray notification ) tested on xp sp3 on vmware and it work ok and thank you for ant 1.8.0 part, because i just download and test 1.8.4 only is it working now
Yea, it is working now. But there are some issues in the apk created.
For some reason, the installed app is not replacing all available icons. i.e. the Project\project-name\res\drawable-hdpi folder has that icon, but when the apk is built, that icon doesn't replace the default icon in app drawer.
Nova launcher provides option of individual icon selection from an icon pack. Long press any app, select change icon, select icon-pack; all icons in that icon pack is displayed. But this last step doesn't work for icon-packs created with this tool.
Since this is just first version of this tool, I guess this is just bug report / feature request. A great tool nonetheless. :highfive:

1.ah ok , icons doesn't show maybe it's caused by activity name ( eg 2.3 Gallery and 4.0 Gallery ) that it need to update database , it's reason why we have "Start Activity Watch" button to add custom activity from user's phone :silly:
2.About selection from icon pack, i forgot to add drawable item in project :angel: It's used in GO Launcher too, i will add it to night when i'm back home :highfive:
it works very well except it did not import a bunch of icons from mtz.

Because it need info for each icons , not just copy icons that program just take icons inside database
You are real very good

===NOTES BELOW===
•Most shortcuts now point to basic programs that any US Windows Phone should have included. This saves time editing in Author mode if you only want to use the defaults.
•However, here are some special programs you need for some of the shortcuts, if you don't want to add your own:
Bing (Map & Navigation links) - FREE at http://m.bing.com
Newsbreak Lite (RSS icon) - should come standard with WP6.5
SPB TV (TV icon) - FREE at http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/tv/
• Also added a shortcut to quit LeSScro PAD on the programs shortcut menu. It is the second to last icon on the bottom row.

Folder named program files: (These are the extracted files)
Open program files --> Lakeridge --> Wisbar Advance Desktop --> then copy the folder named Themes. In your phone's file explorer, go to My Device/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/ then paste the Themes folder that you have just copied.
Folder named Storage Card: (These are the extracted files)
Open Storage Card --> then copy the folder named LeSScro. In your phone's file explorer, go to your Storage Card then paste the Themes folder that you have just copied.

This is the noob-proof multiuser enabler guide for the CM10.1 - GS3 only!!
Want to enable multiuser on your galaxy S3 under CM10.1?? This is the easiest way to do it.
Updates - based on cm-10.1-2013XXXX-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip:
Multi_20130306
Multi_20130303
Multi_20130302
Multi_20130222
This is very simple: just flash the zip file and you're done!! just need to create the users under settings!! Can create up to 8 users!!
P.S. You need to reflash it for every new nightly installed!!!!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
I just found out a way to reduce FC in secondary user. Create 2 other users... delete the second, reboot and the third user should now be the second but without the FCs... well it should, it worked for me...

Next is the tool I used to create the flashable mod zip. In case you wanna try for yourself or need to remake the mod for futures nightlies just download and follow the steps:
Links:
. JDK and JRE for windows 32bits - (are you under windows x64? Install the 32bits javas anyway)
. FrameworkFlasher Adapted from the wesf90 Original Thread and Updated from iBotPeaches Original Thread to run on CM10.1
1) Install JDK and JRE and Unzip FrameworkFlasher
2) copy your phone's framework-res.apk to the folder "place-framework-res-here"
3) run "RunMe.bat"
4) press 1 to decompile
5) Make the necessary changes under the folder "files-to-edit" ****
6) run 2 to recompile
7) run 3 and 4 to sign and zip the apk
8) Just flash your new zip and be happy!
**** In order to enable multiuser, it's necessery to change some xml file inside framework-res.apk and this is only possible by doing this decompile/compile process...
The files you need to change are:
. framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml
look for config_multiuserMaximumUsers and change the number of users (min 2)
Code:
<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">8</integer>
. framework-res.apk\res\layout-port\keyguard_host_view.xml
need to add this after the second </FrameLayout>
Code:
<FrameLayout androidprv:paddingTop="7.0dip" androidprv:layout_width="fill_parent" androidprv:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include androidprv:layout_gravity="top|center" androidprv:layout_width="fill_parent" androidprv:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="@layout/keyguard_multi_user_selector" />
</FrameLayout>
I made more changes than this so I advice to use mine own keyguard_host_view.xml
Thanks for the great work.... it worked perfectly. However, I have a feedback:
Few findings
- Unable to find option "Enable USB Debugging
- Unable to add facebook contact sync for secondary user
- Facebook sync not working
santoshtalluri
Unfortunetly multiuser feature still very limited and buggy... not my fault, it's Android/Cm10.1 fault... you also cant make/receive calls and themes cause fc in a secundary user...

help with decompile
I get the following failure when trying to decomile my apk. I am on the Sprint GS3 and d2spr CM10.1 2013-01-31 nightly. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I am making the leap that the same technique here works for any SG3 framework-res.apk and not just for the i9300. If that is an invalide assumption, then please set me straight. Thanks in advance...

@ swiggs98
Yes... probably works for your phone too....
The compile/decompile process can cause several erros when one or more conditions are not satisfied, so make sure:
1. Latest Java JDK/JRE 32 bits are installed
2. FrameworkFlasher is updated (the one I posted is updated, so use mine)
3. The folder name where FrameworkFlasher is running should not have spaces
4. framework-res.apk is not corrupted (I use WIFI file explorer to download framework-res.apk to my PC)
5. Wrong changes in framework-res files also ruins the process

2) copy your phone's framework-res.apk to the folder "place-framework-res-here"
3) run "RunMe.bat"
4) press 1 to decompile
5) Make the necessary changes under the folder "files-to-edit" ****
6) run 2 to recompile
7) run 3 and 4 to sign and zip the apk
8) Just flash your new zip and be happy!
**** In order to enable multiuser, it's necessery to change some xml file inside framework-res.apk and this is only possible by doing this decompile/compile process...
The files you need to change are:
. framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml
look for config_multiuserMaximumUsers and change the number of users (min 2)
. framework-res.apk\res\layout-port\keyguard_host_view.xml
need to add <include layout="@layout/keyguard_multi_user_selector" /> before the second </FrameLayout> ---in my mods there are more changes than this so I advice to copy and paste this file from my mod to this new one---

My S3 (CM10.1 updated, stock kernel) is having FC with everything with a new user. The "Setup Wizard" can't start.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but i can't use anything with the new user: i can't configure it and i can't do anything 'cause the FC window appear for Wizard Setup, Contacts, Apollo, and it never stops. The only thing I can do is tap ok for FCs (no one app starts, neither launcher) and go to lockscreen to switch to original user.
Maybe the latest nightly release is not compatible with the old mod... so I have updated it to match 20130206... remove your secondary user under settings and reflash the new mod... create the new user and then you tell me if it works

tried wiping cache, fixing permissions, reflashing ROM AND MOD, deleting and recreating the user, but nothing works. the same FC problem. even the new 07/02's ROM and MOD.
it can be the gapps? the new user can't open the Wizard Setup (and I think it's part of gapps). I really want the multi user on my S3, so thanks for your work on it.
SOLVED! The problem is with the system theme. With the default theme, it worked!.
We can't apply themes to the system with multi user
Yes... themes cause FCs on secondary users... great to know it worked for you

Go to Fle > New Theme
and you will see the window below. In put the name of your theme and save it.
Guide Screenshot 2
Then you will see the following window. ( Description in screen shot )
Guide Screenshot 3
Buttons
All the buttons are self explanatory but i will add some description where needed
Save : This is to save the changes made to the projects.
Generate full MTZ : This is used to compress and make the mtz file of the theme project to be used in phone
Apply Recent Changes : For this and next option to work your phone must be connected to PC. this option apply the recent theme changes to your connected phone (Useful when testing a smal change).
Full apply: This option apply the Full theme to your Phone.
Reload: This option will discard unsaved changes and will load the theme from theme directory (added PNG's Will stay there, will be explained later)
Setting: Have only option to copress the font if you want.(Have'nt used it).
Differents Tabs and their Functions
Now Some information about diffrent Tabs and options on them.
Description Tab: Already explained in screen shot shown above.
Icons Tab: This tab is used to add icons to theme. When you click on the icon tab it have three further tabs, System icons, Default theme icons and Others. Before you proceed further Click on Sync button at the bottom of the icons. (Your phone must be connected in debug mode to the PC) This sync option will get all default icons from your phone including 3rd party apps. Now to change any Icons check below.
Guide Screenshot 4
on the default theme icons tab there are some default 3rd party icons avialable in theme editor and others tab have the icons repalcement option for apps installed in your phone. procedure is same for all three tabs
Note. you dont need to rename your icon, Progran will do it for you! just drop it to the proper place.

Modules tab: This tab is the most important tab for themeing MIUI.
Guide Screenshot 5
Creating New App Module
Here is how to create the App's theme module.
Guide Screenshot 6
As an example I have selected the Contacts module (only one module at a time). you will see screen shown below , if different then click "change edit mode" button.
Guide Screenshot 7
Now click on the first item in the folder view and follow the screen shot. again names of your png's doesnt matter. you have to go through all the view and find the red boxes, click on it and repalce the png's you want to change. If you want to keep the system default png just leave it blanck.
Guide Screenshot 8
For modifying PNG's you can use the V4_templete (link at top) png's as a refrence. you can edit them to your requirements and then use them.
Changing the text Color
To change the text colors of the module items, click on the "change edit mode" button while contacts module is stille open. see bellow.
Guide Screenshot 9
Guide Screenshot 10
Do the same procedure for all the Modules and PNG's and color's in it. Framework-miui-res and Framework-res are most important modules. Changes in Framework-miui-res effects all the MIUI applications, especially colors and Changes in Framework-res module can effect both MIUI apps and any other 3rd party app so be careful !!!! you might get white on white color problem.
Note: You dont need to recompile your 9.png's. just add contents and strech borders using the "NinePatchEditor" or sdk Draw9Tool. and thats it put it in the theme and compress the theme and it will do the rest.
Testing
Now its time to test your theme before release/share. You should test all the MIUI apps for proper theming as well as 3rd party apps for color problems. If you find any problem then just reopen or drag drop you theme directory on Theme Editor to reopen /edit your theme.

Hi folks.. This is a project template I have created for helping my themer friends on xda . I have made a simple interface but with almost every possible features that a decent icon pack must have. The template supports from Android 2.3 to 4.4.2
Note : This template is for making the apk only . For a tutorial on how to make icon pack, please refer to this guide of my good friend and tutor @iamareebjamal[/MENTION]. Follow only step 5 and 6 because the rest is already done in this template .

Whats Included :
1. Dedicated in app launcher selector .
2. Icon request tool based on Tung91 's source files. Thanks to @vanessaem for
providing me with those. Now no need to install a different app.
3. Wallpaper support.
4. Go launcher and next launcher support.
Lets get started:
Files you need:
1. My Template HERE
2. Action Bar Sherlock (ABS)HERE
3.Eclipse
4.Notepad ++
Setting Up The Project:
1. Download both the files and extract on your desktop.
2. Open up eclipse and import actionbarsherlock as library.
For doing so, go to File-> Import-> Existing Android Code Into Workspace->(browse to the place you extracted ABS and click ok.
3. Right click to the imported file, go to properties and select ->Android and select "Is Library" And click apply. Refer to the image for more details.
4.Import the template. Now right click and go to Properties->Android->Add and select ABS from the list and click Apply.
Voila!! You are done with importing the project. Now lets dig in for some more features.
Changing the path name:
For changing the path name, have a look at the image below.
Changing email id so that you receive mail for icon request:
This is quiet simple. Just browse to TemplateIconPack-> src-> example.templete.iconpack and open IconRequest.java with Notepad++ and scroll down to line 212 and 214 and follow the instructions given there.
Changing path name inside LauncherActivity.java:
LauncherActivity.java is the activity which helps in the automatic application of icon pack in the launcher you select from the list inside the app.
To get it working for adw launcher, just open LauncherActivity.java in Notepad++ and scroll down to line 77. Change "example.templete.iconpack" to the path name of your icon pack.
Adding more wallpaper:
For adding more wallpapers, browse to the
TemplateIconPack-> res-> values and open up wallpaper.xml in notepad++. add name of wallpapers in the format present there. place the wallpapers in the drawable-hdpi folder. I have added 4 wallpapers already for your convenience.
Exporting the app:
Select File>Export>Export Android Application and Select your IconProject. Click on next and choose Create New Keystore and choose the location where you want it to be created. Enter any password you want. Click next, now, enter any name you want in alias, password, set Validity to 25 years(your choice), First and Last Names. Other Fields are Optional. You must remember those key location, alias and passwords for both as you will be signing upcoming updated of your icon pack with the same key so your fans don' t have to uninstall older app before installing the new one . Click next, then choose where you want your app to be created and click on Finish.

I don't think it's just that. Check my previous post. I was able to get it working. Also, I'm getting some force quits when trying to apply in ADW launcher. Sometimes it works fine but most times not. All the other launchers work fine though.

I just checked the android manifest. I missed the internet permission. I will upload the new template soon.
@vanessaem, for the ads launcher fc, I will look into it now .
edit: I fixed both the issues... for icon request, internet permission is needed.. and for the adw launcher fix, a code needed to be changed. I forgot to change it. I will upload the build asap...

In LauncherActivity.java, I put in my own icon pack name for the intent and ADW launcher worked.
Please try and add a note about that in your template for noobs like me.

Hi all!
I make this guide for those who want to make their own themes for Samsung Devices. This uses Samsung My Theme, a software developed by Samsung.
The devices supported by this method are devices compatible with TouchWiz Theme Engine (like my A5 2015 for example)
Things you'll need:
Samsung My Theme Software, it has the following system requirements:
• A PC running Windows 7 or later.
• A Samsung device using Samsung Theme Engine.
• Android SDK for Android 4.4 or higher should be installed on the PC.
• Java JDK version 1.6-7.0 (not 8.0).
1. Downloading the required software.
You can download my version of Samsung My Theme here:
https://mega.nz/#!yl8VSZyK!-wUHQ5eQ8xcn-2VgZ9LbkW_g-ilLPuyjD-L_h0DY0Oo
Unzip the .zip file, and put it on a location you can access easily. Simply unzip the tool and run
“SamsungMyTheme.exe”.
1.2 Downloading Java JDK & Android SDK.
*Android SDK does not currently support JDK 8.0. Use JDK versions 6.0 or 7.0 only.
- Download the Android SDK (version 4.4 only) just use the download.bat script in working folder (it will download all SDK automatically) or you can download it manually here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Copy all files and folders in the Android SDK…\android\android-sdk folder to the \sdk
folder on your PC.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open Samsung_My_Theme folder and go to /sdk folder. Copy the files to this /sdk folder according to this below:
2. Choosing the correct resolution for your device and saving theme path.
Open the working folder and run SamsungMyTheme.exe
Wait few seconds, the components will be loaded. Once the app is loaded, select create a changeable theme.
2.1 Select the correct resolution for your device.
The software will ask you to choose your device resolution, if you don't know it, just search for specs of your Samsung device and you will find it.
Taking the example of A5, it uses 720x1280p so I choose it. Once all of that is done choose a name and a saving path for your Theme.
2.1 Adding Lockscreen and Home screen wallpaper.
After creating the theme file, you have to add your own resources to it.
You can use your resources to do that, download any picture you want and click on add image on the left side (see the picture below)
A popup will be opened, select your picture and click on open. You should now see your picture on the components. Use the adjustements tools on the right side to crop, rotate, adjust size or cut your pic to make it fit your device screen. Do the same procedure for the home screen wallpaper.
2.2 Adding your own icons.
Click on icon button.
Click on "+" to select the image you want to use as a icon for the app you want to change the icon.
Note: if you let a case empty, after Installing the theme to your device, it will use the stock icon.
Taking example here of music app icon.
Do as previous steps, use your own images. Crop the icon to make it fit the white square on the center. Adjust brightness if necessary. And do the same of the other icons you want to change.
3. Testing your Theme on your device.
Using SamsungThemePreview on your device
Go to your SamsungMyTheme folder, you should see an apk file named " SamsungThemePreview.apk", select it, plug your device to your PC and move the .apk file to your device. Use a file browser on your device, select the apk of SamsungThemePreview and install it as a normal apk.
- Now go to Settings > About device, touch 10 times build number, go back to settings, and now you should see a new option named "Developer options" click on the tile and enable USB debugging mode. Allow any popups on the device.
On your PC, click the Preview on phone button on the menu bar. When Theme Preview apk is installed, a preview of your theme will be displayed
automatically.
If you like your Theme, select file, click on save and then "Package the APK file"
It will open a new popup, set name for your Theme, package name, etc... And click on save.
It will take some time to build the apk file depending on the resources you used.
Once it's finished, you can directly apply the theme to the device or take it from working folder and /out.
Congratulations ! You made your own theme from your own resources.

Hi all!
I make this guide for those who want to make their own themes for Samsung Devices. This uses Samsung My Theme, a software developed by Samsung.
The devices supported by this method are devices compatible with TouchWiz Theme Engine (like my A5 2015 for example)
Things you'll need:
Samsung My Theme Software, it has the following system requirements:
• A PC running Windows 7 or later.
• A Samsung device using Samsung Theme Engine.
• Android SDK for Android 4.4 or higher should be installed on the PC.
• Java JDK version 1.6-7.0 (not 8.0).
1. Downloading the required software.
You can download my version of Samsung My Theme here:
https://mega.nz/#!yl8VSZyK!-wUHQ5eQ8xcn-2VgZ9LbkW_g-ilLPuyjD-L_h0DY0Oo
Unzip the .zip file, and put it on a location you can access easily. Simply unzip the tool and run
“SamsungMyTheme.exe”.
1.2 Downloading Java JDK & Android SDK.
*Android SDK does not currently support JDK 8.0. Use JDK versions 6.0 or 7.0 only.
- Download the Android SDK (version 4.4 only) just use the download.bat script in working folder (it will download all SDK automatically) or you can download it manually here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Copy all files and folders in the Android SDK…\android\android-sdk folder to the \sdk
folder on your PC.
Open Samsung_My_Theme folder and go to /sdk folder. Copy the files to this /sdk folder according to this below:
2. Choosing the correct resolution for your device and saving theme path.
Open the working folder and run SamsungMyTheme.exe
Wait few seconds, the components will be loaded. Once the app is loaded, select create a changeable theme.
2.1 Select the correct resolution for your device.
The software will ask you to choose your device resolution, if you don't know it, just search for specs of your Samsung device and you will find it.
Taking the example of A5, it uses 720x1280p so I choose it. Once all of that is done choose a name and a saving path for your Theme.
2.1 Adding Lockscreen and Home screen wallpaper.
After creating the theme file, you have to add your own resources to it.
You can use your resources to do that, download any picture you want and click on add image on the left side (see the picture below)
A popup will be opened, select your picture and click on open. You should now see your picture on the components. Use the adjustements tools on the right side to crop, rotate, adjust size or cut your pic to make it fit your device screen. Do the same procedure for the home screen wallpaper.
2.2 Adding your own icons.
Click on icon button.
Click on "+" to select the image you want to use as a icon for the app you want to change the icon.
Note: if you let a case empty, after Installing the theme to your device, it will use the stock icon.
Taking example here of music app icon.
Do as previous steps, use your own images. Crop the icon to make it fit the white square on the center. Adjust brightness if necessary. And do the same of the other icons you want to change.
3. Testing your Theme on your device.
Using SamsungThemePreview on your device
Go to your SamsungMyTheme folder, you should see an apk file named " SamsungThemePreview.apk", select it, plug your device to your PC and move the .apk file to your device. Use a file browser on your device, select the apk of SamsungThemePreview and install it as a normal apk.
- Now go to Settings > About device, touch 10 times build number, go back to settings, and now you should see a new option named "Developer options" click on the tile and enable USB debugging mode. Allow any popups on the device.
On your PC, click the Preview on phone button on the menu bar. When Theme Preview apk is installed, a preview of your theme will be displayed
automatically.
If you like your Theme, select file, click on save and then "Package the APK file"
It will open a new popup, set name for your Theme, package name, etc... And click on save.
It will take some time to build the apk file depending on the resources you used.
Once it's finished, you can directly apply the theme to the device or take it from working folder and /out.
Congratulations ! You made your own theme from your own resources.

And can you tell me how to change apps background like calculator and phone calender etc it will helps alot
So after searching for ages I came across this thread downloaded and installed the application, played arpound with the app only to find to my disappointment - it only changes lock/home screen background and the icons. It dosent look this app did what I was hoping it would, namely allow me to edit all the backgrounds of the system apps to darker(kitkat) like.
In a nutshell, is there a way/app that will allow me to customise all the background, fonts and other UI elements on a TW based rom. My goal/aim is to remove/alter 'all' the white backgrounds in MM to darker, graduated-black or black (as per KK)

Yes this!
Well while we all wait for Samsung to stop being so obtuse, or better for someone to upload the SS tool so we can bypass SS and thier bloody theme store - I have a flashed Pheonix Rom for my S5 (G900F) which has ported S7 (G935F) features (i.e. theme store) and applied the 'Touchwiz6DMM' theme.
It has replaced 'almost' all the white backgrounds. only 3 occurances remain (notifications, when I manually install an APK, and some apps that interested with the OS in someway that they still use a white background.
Not understanding
Sir, can you please explain this?
- Copy all files and folders in the Android SDK…\android\android-sdk folder to the \sdk
folder on your PC.

a) I installed Android SDK and there is no such path like "Android SDK…\android\android-sdk"
b) which " \sdk folder on your PC"? You mean the one that is in the Samsung_My_Theme_1.0.5b_en program?
Open Samsung_My_Theme folder and go to /sdk folder. Copy the files to this /sdk folder according to this below:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean to copy from Android SDK installed in PC to Samsung Theme sdk folder? If yes The structure is different!
Android SDK Build Tools:
AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\24.0.3\....
Samsung Theme
Samsung_My_Theme_1.0.5b_en\sdk\build-tools\android-5.0.1\...
Can you detail?
Thanks

No, this is only applicable to devices that were released before Galaxy S6 (because they have the old theme engine).
But there should be the same software for new devices, check on XDA
