Hi. I had a Samsung S2, and making themes was easy because of the universal themer zip. You only had to insert in the zip the png's and install the zip and it was done.
Now i was wondering on how to compile and recompile the apk. Is it hard? Couse the universal themer progekt has been left. Can anybody explain me how to do it?

Take a small look at the thread from @funky0308. It is for 4.3, but perhaps it could be helpful...

Does anyone know how to remove the stericson lockscreen from the framework so that i have the original lockscreen back. i am running on cyan 4.0.4 with compatible theme- currently melange 0963. i wanted to use xinvert or smorgwhite 4.0.4 but both have stericson's lockscreen. does anyone know how and what to change in the framework or whatever else inside the zip folder. i know how to resign the zip, just need the guidelines on what to insert and remove. i have previous versions of the smorgwhite theme and messed around with the zz files in the new version (i.e. i deleted them got boot loops, replaced them with two files from the 4.0.1 theme of smorgwhite and got boot loops, replaced the framework-res.apk from smorgwhite401 to 404 and got stuck at tmobile g1 and i even replaced the whole framework folder from smorgwhite401 to 404 and again stuck at tmobile g1 screen). id really appreciate the help. thanks
replace services.jar with the one from the theme template cyanogen provides
replace the settings.apk with the one from that same template
replace the framework-res.apk with the one from the template
remove framework.jar from the theme
replace android.policy.jar with the one from the template
with that done run this through ultra spikey's theme porter (the un-modified theme as themeold.zip and the one you pulled all of the files from as themenew.zip) then go into the framework-res.apk/res/drawable folder and remove all of the images that start "zz" they are at the bottom of the folder so they are easy to find.
Now you have the unsigned theme without the lockscreen.
Sign the theme and you are set to flash it.
i haven't tested this, but would imagine it works.

thanks for the quick response man. i'll give this a go
edit: only problem is though, where do i get the theme template since cyanogen removed all of his files after the google issue? so since i don't have the theme template, i just took the files directly from the signed 4.0.4 cyan rom. gonna test it out now

Hi,
can someone port over the theme MattedBlues for the CM 7 Theme chooser ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768848

I love this theme and wish this for my Desire
+1 on that one!
+1 I would love this as well I used to use it but ever since CM7 came out with the theme chooser I dont really flash anymore.
But we need to make sure the Dev is okay with it.
Hey everyone,
As one of the devs for MattedBlues I can tell you I'm working on it but I'm not very happy that the Theme Chooser can't theme everything a flashable zip can. What's probably going to end up happening is one of two things:
1: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and is missing some things
or
2: MB gets ported to the Theme Chooser and a MetaMorph will be supplied to theme what the Theme Chooser can't theme.
Until then, stay tuned.

Nice, can't wait!
Also, if you guys want to you can fairly easily port the theme to your phones. Basically you just merge the files in SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk with the files from the original CM7 ROM and you are golden!
I don't know if you are allowed to do that, but I can't seem to figure out why you wouldn't be. As long as you don't redistribute it.

Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by merge? Do I just delete the to apk's from the theme zip and replace them with the ones from the CM7 zip? Or do I need some program to actually merge them?
Can't wait for this theme!!!
I would love this theme on my Nexus One!
+1... Theme is amazing!

You open the .apk from the theme (using something like WinRAR) and then you open the .apk from the ROM and simply drag the files from the themed .apk over to the ROM's .apk. Then you put the ROM's .apk (the one that you now have merged with the themed .apk) where the themed .apk was. Then simply flash the .zip.
Hope you understand, got kind of messy. If you do not, I can make it for you!

Do I have to edit framework too?
I´m a bloody beginner so I dont know exactly what I should do
I would like to see this theme running on CM7 for Milestone - here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346
Maybe you can help me a little bit
I tried decompiling the standard t-mobile sample theme apk, and copying the res folder and Manifest.xml then re-compiling and signing, but it wont compile.. can someone help me out?
I want to learn how to make my own flashable zip and theme framework res and systemui,searched the forum but nothing that i understood completely.I used other devs flashable zips but when i flashed them framework and systemui deleted themselves or where not compatible cause xdpi i really dont know,please help.
try using UOT kitchen
Start slowly. Make a flash zip by moding a cm one as example. Change image files by dropping in winrar or file-roller (Linux)... learn to use apktool, zipsigner, and then learn to edit XML... then... learn to compile and change the sources...
Then you'll be a Jedi, young padawan.
Hi to all.
When i had the samsung S2, i allways used this for creating themes. Do somebody know if it works even with the Z1?
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=258333
With this create themes would be very easy, as you don't need to decompile and recompile apk's.
I tried to compile and decompile apk's, but i always get errors when recompiling an apk.
Guide How To remove SD Card Notification Tab S Deodexed. This should work on all variants of the Tab S, but you all will have to test and advise!!!
You must know how to decompile and compile APK's. If your not sure how to do this search for it and learn.
1. First grab your SystemUI.apk from system/privapp.
2. Decompile SystemUI.apk
3. Go to your decompiled folder "SystemUI".
4. Go to SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\usb.
5. Delete the following smali files:
StorageNotification$1.smali

StorageNotification$3.smali
StorageNotification$MediaStorageNotificationLocale.smali
StorageNotification$MediaStorageNotificationEventListener$1.smali
StorageNotification$MediaStorageNotificationEventListener$2.smali

StorageNotification$MediaStorageNotificationHandler.smali
StorageNotification.smali
6. Replace with the smali files from my zip:
Download: Remove SD Card Notification Tab S smali files
7. Compile SystemUI.apk and replace the stock one in system/privapp
Here is a flashable zip

I did the theming myself.
You have to decompile several system apps, theme and compile. A very long and tedious process.

Did you mod your SystemUI.apk or just flash the T700 SystemUI in my OP? You must mod your SystemUI.apk. A T700 SystemUI.apk will not run on any other tablet.
Post a link to your deodexed SystemUI.apk and I can mod it for you.
