[Q] Theming Stock Rom

Hey guys i'm like a sucker for customization n i had a glimpse at what Cyanogenmod offers for themers, but just for the sake of themes i don't wanna flash clockworkmod although i'm rooted.
is there any alternative to theme the system completely without using cyanogenmod? please helllllllllllp!!!!!!!!
i've seen a couple os 'Zip'/flashable themes but they say it requires a 'deodexed' rom or something! can somebody tel me what's that!!
n last query does any1 got any idea bout 'MORPH'?

you can't edit odex file.(can but very hard)
for deodex rom you should edit framwork-res.apk and SystemUI.apk (alsow framwork.jar if you want overglow effect)
for you, better use launcher with support themeing.(Go Launcher and ADW Launcher have best customazing and larg number of themes but Launcher pro is smooth and less battery use.)
sorry for my bad english!

yup, just install Go Launcher EX..
has so many themes to choose from..
also install Go Locker..

just use uot kitchen works with every rom and everything
doesnt matter if you are on odexed or deodexed rom

its an important point, you will get better response if you ask on the rom thread - the TW launcher is not compatible with 240 dpi, i know that

[Q] How to change all icons with one touch?

Good morning friends,
presently i am using icon changer app to change icons for home screen, wherein in have to change every icon manually
i.e. open icon changer - select app - browse icons - etc..
whereas can it be automatic like... if we select an icon pack, it should change all icons automatically (all of them at once)..
I have even tried using different launchers but they spoil stock look.
Can anyone help me change all icons without having to change every icon & retaining the stock look?
Thanks for bearing with my stupid question, if it isn't possible.

What mods are you trying to install? I can tell you that some modifications don't like Sony firmwares... And that could probably be the cause.

SoftkeyZ was working for me on Android 4.4 CyanogenMod, so it probably has not been made to work with Sony firmware. And for the second mod, you already have the answer. It is only compatible with Android 4.4 and causes a system crash when installed on Android 4.3.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.. Unless you know how to modify SystemUI and change the icons or port the Xperia Keyboard to android 4.3.
But, if you really want these mods, then install Android 4.4 CyanogenMod because it is compatible with a lot more Xposed mods and other applications..

You don't necessarily need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom, but I would personally suggest you to stay away from installing a custom rom if you have never done so earlier on any other phone and you aren't really an advanced user. Sony's 4.3 is quite good if you are lucky enough not to face lags. I would like to suggest some good modules for sony firmware which you might want to try out -
1) GEM Xperia xposed
2) Flat style coloured bars (for lollipop styled statusbar and navigation bar colouring)
3) GravityBox (you need to be a bit careful with this one)
4) Hide stamina mode icon
5) SEMC phone patcher
6) Xperia flip settings (replaces xperia toggles in statusbar with cyanogenmod styled ones)
Don't forget to read the module description before installing to understand what it does. Enjoy (Y)

[Q] Change stock app icons with custom ones (Xperia Z3c)

Hello,
I have an Xperia Z3 Compact and am looking for a way to change stock system app icons (ideally without using another launcher). I am aware you can use an apk tool to decompile, replace icons and recompile an app, but that doesn't work with system apps like Settings, Camera and Phone. Those cannot be dumped by an apk tool. Do I need root for this? How do I proceed? Please help :crying:

Hi, currently there are bunch of applications on the marketplace (e.g. Desktop VisualizeR) able to create custom shortcuts (i.e. allowing custom icons usage) on home screens.
As far as I know, however, rooted or not, there is no possibility to change icons system-wide, so they will stay the same in app-drawers, app pickers, task managers, etc. EDIT: Oh well, not for free!
If you, like me, find that icons for Sony applications are a bit dated yet you do not want to abandon their super fast launcher, you can always wait for the upcoming Lollipop update, which hopefully will bring us a UI overhaul

If you are root You can use unicon to change icons with stock launcher.

Using unicon, this is the stock launcher
