it's possible... i use winrar to open up apk's.... open up Nova via winrar and check the drawable-hdpi folder... you will need hdpi size pngs and replace them with the one's in the folder thats how you will change the UI look of it

Themes modify the system files, they aren't independent.
If you get a theme for a rom, it will modify things all around the rom.
If you get a theme for a program (adw) it will modify things inside the program only.
for example, I'm interested in using the ZEN theme or the minimalist theme. Can I use my LauncherPro after I flash the theme?

Ginger DX = Framework-res.apk

Hello Guys over XDA's...is ginger-DX cant be edited framework-res.apk like xml's and png?...and metamorphing caught me to a boot loop??,,,any ideas?
You can to decompile framework-res.apk using apktool or apkmanager
GingerDx uses T-mobile theme. Download one of them and if you want to edit the default framework what you have to theme is not the usual framework-res.apk but the SystemUi (or something like that) app in system/app. Then you push back the modified app to system/app. You can use apktool to modify the theme.

In that case, just install and apply that theme,then go to gingerdx setting to set the statusbar transparency to theme and reboot
Not all launcher can have transparent statusbar,
If you're using launcher pro,you should use live wallpaper to get the transparent statusbar
I suggest you use zeam launcher

i am talking bout editing the framework-res..whr did u go to?
Sorry,thought you only need transparent statusbar
Just like i've said before,you can use apktool to decompile framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
You need java installed on your pc first
But gingerdx already have a feature for transparent statusbar
I've tried it and it works,but i found a lil bug on date when pull down the statusbar

Is ok bro..do u have facebook or gtalk?..easier to chat..
here's i made the patch for GingerDX v.007
1. apply theme that support transparent statusbar like MIUI or Meizu
2. go to gingerdx setting and set statusbar transparency to theme
3. reboot to CWM Recovery and flash statusbar_patch.zip
i only patch the centered clock and modified pulled down statusbar because GDX already have feature for transparent statusbar

Stock ICS - How to change lockscreen

Just upgraded to the just released ICS for the Galaxy Note. First thing I did was install Apex Launcher and delete touchwiz Launcher. I really like the results, but have a question.
Is there a way to replace the TW lockscreen with the Stock ICS lockscreen?

Nope, not without a hack (like jkay mod)
Install WidgetLocker, it has a stock ICS lockscreen theme

but how can this be changed in the rom, before it was flashed? Is there a possibility to use a different launcher by replacing the original launcher.apk in the custom rom with 7zip or winrar, before I flash it?
e.g. i want to change the XperiaLauncher to LauncherPro
Extract the zip (rom), goto system/app/ delete xperia launcher and replace it with launcher pro (as you mentioned in above post).
Also similar for theme goto app in the roms zip and delete the theme, replace by xperia arc.
Rezip the rom and flash..

XLS7 Jelly Bean - How to extract TW Icons for Nova Launcher?

Hey everybody.
I love the new icons in JellyBean (XLS7) but i use Nova Launcher because i like it more because of Launcher Backups, Folders and so on.
I use Alliance ROM - Is it possible to extract the Icons like Gallery, Camera, Browser and so on - and use them in Nova?
I know i can use png's in Nova but i dont know how to extract the TW Icons
Hope you can help me !
Bye
Erich
Extract the alliancerom.zip and you can find all the apps either in system/app or data/app
For example,If you need to extract the camera icon,then go to system/app/samsungcamera.apk
Then extract samsungcamera.apk and go to res folder
You could see a set of drawable folders and there you can find the app icon:good:
