[QUESTION] Making a theme for a JB rom - Android Themes

Hi
Could someone mentor me or link me to a few guides/programs on how to make a .zip flashable theme for a JellyBean custom rom?
I did search, however, I could not find a thread about creating a theme for JB. Most were for Themechooser or ICS or MIUI or various other ways.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I would imagine theming JB is the same as theming anything else, mod apks from whatever ROM you're using.

yes but most if not all of them are device AND ROM specific no? with countless devices, and infinite custom ROMs for each of those devices pushing through adb may be time better spent then sifting through a plethora of posts hoping to find a .zip that matches your device and ROM.
especially considering theres a detailed tutorial in the thread i linked to. but if there is a .zip that will just work via cwm or edify please link me.

Find dxdiag32's lockscreen mod. I believe it also applies to stock V20*. I used that before with V20a Chinese leaked ROM.
Here:
2.3.4 lockscreen
If you'll use mods or any ideas, give credits as to where they came from.

[Q]

Hi there,
I have only one question. I'm using right now Rushabh25's SGSII ICS v9 rom, which has integrated 14-toggles-mod.
I've already tried to make some modifications in the zip package of modded stock roms (like SGSII v9, or StockLite v6 and v7.1), with success: I managed to implement UOT-mods, hungarian swype, beats music mods, and some apps into the flashable rom zip. I even managed to modify framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, by decompile them with apktool and the edit some files.
I'm wondering now about, how to implement 14-toggles-mod, like Rushabh25 did it... Can you help me how to do that? I want to learn!
I can't help you to do that, but, I think this thread will help you.

[Q] Themechooser for Stockrom4.04/hydrakernel 5.1

High someone got an link or can upload a zip to install the themechooser?
Like to Keep the Stockrom for several reasons - but the themechooser would be nice - guess there should be a possibility to install it from cwm recovery.
Thank you?

Are you talking about the themechooser found in CM roms? If yes then it wont work on tw based roms. It works on CM roms only.
There are lot of good themes for stock roms too, check themes section, you will find a lot there.

There is no way to install Theme Chooser in TW Roms. Just Install themes you found in Themes & Apps Section as jeetu said above.

Default theme is the stock framework. If you want a good base theme, search for a template on xda. If you are themeing a rom you will need framework-res systemui and other. The second best way is to make a theme and then use the line
Code:
persist.sys.themeId=
persist.sys.themePackageName=
in your build.prop to make your theme by default on install
Well I have my templates...
for CM and MIUI. links are in my sig. It just has the basic apks in it.. I don't want to give everything away...lol

I have the exact question as the OP so I took a look at the CM10 template in your signature. When I install it as is, without any modifications, I get an error saying theme was compile incorrectly and to contact the developer. Any idea why? I'm on latest version of XenonHD (4.2). Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried applying the system theme, rebooted, and tried re-applying the empty template theme but it still results in a "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author." error. Maybe CM10 themes don't work on JB 4.2 roms?

Yeah maybe that is the case but one last thing to try delete and re install the theme maybe it hasn't been properly downloaded..

Tried that as well and still no luck. Thanks for the help. I'll just wait and see if someone more skilled than I am release a compatible stock theme. :good:
