I hate this grey color theme too!:highfive:
I love this phone but I can not get used to.
I am new to here, so I can't link direct this comparioson video:
Type "mobiltelefone.ru" to youtube, and click to the first video and just watch the comparison (Europe Z / Japanese Z) video to experience how better the black UI design:
Please someone help to us, we are suffering!

Unlock the bootloader, root the phone, edit the framework files, done.
If that's too much for you, wait till a) root for locked bootloaders is achieved AND b) somebody else cared to edit the framework files.

I made my statusbar, navbar and also the background of the notification toggles black this morning. I should be able to share an update zip for you all in the themes section later today.
It looks a lot nicer in black!

Guys, no off-topic please..
Bump bump, anyone with some theming skills? It shouldn't bee too difficult to make a simple AOSP theme, I think.
its actually difficult coz we need to kill the sony theme engine, and find the sony lines in framework and rewrite those

Is this why we have bootloops when flashing a modified framework-res.apk?
My response to the request was going to be simply that as far as I know, nobody has managed to recompile framework-res without causing bootloops, and until that's resolved, we're not going to see much real theming for T/V. Without the option to edit 9.png's and xml's, there's no way to modify - among other things - popups, most buttons, tabs, color values, text styles, etc. I've mentioned this issue in the apktool thread but gotten no response, I guess the next thing I'll do is report it as an issue on their website.

There are quite a few things that can be modified without touching framework-res, like nav bar buttons (which has been done already), background image/color and status bar things like text color, center clock, toggle buttons. Also, we could modify one of the stock Sony themes to get a little closer. It wouldn't be real AOSP but I think we can get pretty close. Let me know if this is acceptable and I'll give it a try.

THAT would be great. Would also be great if you can remove the silver bar on the dock, or maybe guide me to the right direction.
For the past two days I've tried making the status bar and the navigation bar to fully transparent, but no luck. Modifying framework-res.apk causes bootloops and systemui crash. >.>
Im not knowledgeable to the point to avoid this yet
I shouldn't have said "no real theming", because not only is that being too negative and a bit over-dramatic, but it takes away from the work that people have already done and are doing now. So apologies for that!
And sorry for the OT.
Do you see this??

Removing the dock bar is easy but it's a little too late here to go into that now. Modifying framework-res is a no-go, at least not in the easy re/decompile way.
I've made a little package with my modifications. I know some people have already done bits of this but it felt better doing it all in one go from scratch. All files are taken from galaxy nexus and nexus 4 factory images (jzo54k and jdq39). This has small nav bar buttons from recoba23 and lidroid power widget by peetr_, modified a bit by me. Made a custom theme to better fit the jelly bean blue color and wallpaper + lockscreen background. Replaced the app background with just plain black. Nexus bootanimation. Added AOSP launcher. You can get the AOSP lockscreen by renaming/deleting UxpNxtLockscreen.apk but it doesn't look right, there was some kind of weird bar at the bottom
Let me know what you think could be better or feel free to customize it. Maybe we should start a new thread or change the title because it's not really a request anymore :laugh:

The toggle icons are actually aosp icons but I'll change them to blue for on.

It seems it does not work 100% and it will take battery being on all the time...
Is there NOBODY that wants to contribute to the forum and get a star in the heaven for making a blue statusbar :laugh:
Why is it that nobody makes blue or colorful battery and wifi icons for the xperia Z? I had samsung before and a HTC and there was always a mod/theme for blue icons in the theme section...
Dont take this as complaining, I'm just wondering if its harder on Sony that nobody makes it or if its so easy that nobody cares to do it?

[Q] Help with themes

I didn't know where to look for an answer, but I want to know how to keep my stock navbar when using a theme. Themes now change the navbar, and i want to know how to keep my own. Im talking about themes like New Zealand Theme and Sea Theme's.

Open the apk with 7zip,go to res/xxHDPI and replace the original Sony nav bar images
You can get those images in SystemUI.apk

[HELP] I want to modify an APK

Hi !
First I own an Xperia V, ICS 4.0.4 with 9.0.1.D.0.10 Firmware
So , I use Nemus Launcher (It's the smoothest launcher for me) which has a notification function and can display notification bubbles in the top left hand corner of an APP in the homescreen.
My question is : How can I mod the APK of Nemus launcher in order to display the bubbles at the top right hand corner of an APP and IF POSSIBLE make it like iOS , I mean not completly on the application's icon but that is half in half out..
(Please look at the attached pic to see how it is..)
I know how to decompile an APK but to do what I described is beyond me :/
Please try to help me, Thanks !

Axon Home Screen Thread

Share home screen here. Not much customization available natively but I'm hoping that changes once more users get their devices. Here is the stock look.
Decided to use smart launcher to customize my home screen. Here's the current set up. Just in a violet mood this week I suppose.
