As Daneshm90 said, go into the Nexus forums, search for the "Dump" of the Galaxy S, download it, extract it, go to /system/app and extract the TouchWiz.apk with winrar / winzip / whatever ^^

Lol what ? Let me clarify.
This build is odexed, hence theming/porting is very hard, however wallpapers are not affected by a build being odexed.
Ok so i found the wallpapers.
K there a lot of other image besides the wallpapers that are actually quite appealing. So i've uploaded two things
This: just the wallpapers
This: every apk in the dump extracted, all u have to do is for eg in windows 7 open the folder and type "Picture" and u'll see all of em.
hi am a noob and would really like to know how to add other/more wallpapers to the default wallpapers in the gallery. that is in order for me to change and have a more customized feel to my Samsung Galaxy S.
Thanks!
thanks a lot...!!!
i was looking for "seafirebg" wallpaper for a long time

How to Port themes

First off, BIG BIG thanks to dhemke17, this is only me adding to his guide.
How to Port Themes To Other roms:
First off, Slow down, relax, look at what you are doing, this is a generalization, if the xml, or image file does not exist
in the apk your trying to theme, do not add it, or subtract it, you add or subtract anything it will not work, YOU ARE ONLY
REPLACING!!(doin some math here is your ticket to boot camp)
1) Download 7-zip, or winrar as they can open .apk files without unarchiving them.
2) Download both the rom you want to theme, as well as the theme you want to port.
3) Using 7-zip, open the rom and pull out the following files:
a. Browser.apk
b. DeskClockGoogle.apk
c. GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
d. Launcher2.apk
e. SystemUI.apk
f. Framework-res.apk
4) Make a separate folder and unarchive the theme your want to port there.
5) Open a theme .apk file(s), Open in 7zip or winrar, dont extract, just open and manipulate.(keep in mind, all your image
files you will need to replace will be in the following folders)
6) Open these folders in your themes .apk(s) files:
a. Drawable-mdpi (may be drawable-xlarge-mdpi/hdpi/nodpi)
b. Drawable-nodpi
c. Mipmap-hdpi
d. Mipmap-mdpi
7) Now, open the corresponding folders in the roms apk file,(agian, winrar, 7zip)
a. Select all images from the theme's .apk and drag-and drop to the corresponding location in your roms apk file.do this
for each image and you will be about 90% thereā€¦
b. If the image you want doe snot exist in the theme, use photoshop or gimp to produce it as you see fit, when your done
make sure you put it in the right folder, make sure its the same size and resolution and name as the original, or it will
not work!!!
8) There are several xml files that need replacingā€¦
a. DeskClockGoogle.apk/layout-xlarge-land/desk_clock.xml
b. Launcher2.apk/layout-xlarge/
i. all_apps_paged_view_application.xml
ii. button_bar.xml
iii. customize_paged_view_item.xml
iv. customize_paged_view_wallpaper.xml
v. customize_paged_view_widget.xml
c. SystemUI.apk/drawable/
i. status_bar_notification_area.xml
ii. status_bar_notification_panel_title.xml
d. SystemUI.apk/layout-xlarge/
i. status_bar_notification_area.xml
ii. status_bar_notification_panel_title.xml
e. framework-res.apk/layout-xlarge/ keyguard_screen_status_land.xml
I your making a new theme or have nothing to port, you will need to decompile with apk tool to actually go in and edit values and colors in xmls
Below is the link to download a update.zip template, (how you and everyone will apply the theme)
By this step the structure of the folders inside of the update.zip should seem familier, just bare in mind anything you put
in there will 1. replace the existing 2. add if not there already. You will Open the update in winrar 7zip as well, if you theme an
app thats not a system app, it will go to update.zip/data/app, if it is a system app it will go to update.zip/system/app,
and the themed framework-res goes to update.zip/system/framework/

Good luck, happy theming, if you need help PM me or dhemke7 and we'll see if its salvagable
Nice post...looks familiar lol...I would like to add a couple of things though since this was very specific for the the HoneyBread Theme:
Additional Steps:
1) Pull the images as described above
2) In order to determine what xml files were originally edited, one can arrange the folders by date modified and go through and find what xmls were most recently edited and pull them...OR
3) To modify the xmls yourself, you must use apktool to decompile the specific apk files. Once decompiled, you can actually read the xml files and you can edit them yourself.
Remember, when porting a theme, always give credit where credit is due and you should ask permission from the initial creator before posting. Have fun everyone...if you need any help with theming/apktool, feel free to contact me here or PM me and I will be happy to help.
Thank you thank you

I hate to say this, but there would be all sorts of compatibility issues being that the theme comes from a phone, which has different dimensions and sized images, they all have different names..it would honestly take forever to port. One would be better to completely redesign the theme for honeycomb. I don't have time for that right now
that is a good point, it is sweet though.....onward to the Charge
Id love to see this on the charge...if you plan on tackling this.beast, you have to modify the XML files yourself as aosp files aren't compatible.

[Q] Application Modding/Decompiling Help

For the last 12 hours I have been trying to decompile and edit the strings of this equalizer app (attached) to suit my theme. I have tried apkedit and apk manager but ended up with errors and only half the smali files have been extracted. Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong and if you're feeling extra generous, decompile and send the files.
Sorry if I'm asking too much
Thank in advance

[Q] How to install APK files as a theme?

Hi guys,
So a YouTuber uploaded a video today about an Iron Man theme and being able to use it. It was a .zip file so I just thought it would be fairly simple to unzip and apply or to even flash somehow but when I unzipped it was a bunch of .apk files as wallpapers and as icon themes it looks like? Really stumped on how to use this and seems like such a simple question ??? anyways here is the YouTube link with download in the description, check it out and see if u can figure it out cause I can't... https://youtu.be/Hbun6bnMjk8

Some help needed with EMUI theming

Hello, guys! I am long time follower of xda forum, but first time write my question. My P7 is not rooted and I really would like not to root it(some apps compatibility) but I am customization freak and I found how to use Emui theming(some kind of layers customization). I combine many themes found here and in Emui downloader(all credits go to the creators), also edited many .png and xml files by myself. What remains not clear for me is how to change text font colour of the clock, carrier name and battery percentage in the status bar, I believe it is xml coding, but cannot find some example exactly for huawei how should looks like and what location it must be in the .hwt file. With some reading in xda forum I succeded to extract the system apk from update.APK file but all xml files are unreadable( something wrong) it should be in status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk but I cannot read. So if somebody decompiled properly systemui.apk and framework-res.apk to help me just with the example coding therefore I will edit the colour codes as I like it. Thank you in advance!
