I have searched hi and low to find the answer to this question.
The Android Default Keyboard cannot be installed in a Sense rom without it's necessary framework.
I have attached two flash-able update that work with our phones:
The Droid X keyboard (I found nothing special about this)
The Default Android Keyboard, and a modded one with voice input.
I have also attached a modded HTC keyboard that I found to work with our phones.
I am currently looking into updating Swype to the newest version and also adding the EVO 4G keyboard.
-I Take no credit for these. I'm merely sharing the items in this sector of the forum.
After playing around with a few things I have discovered the following:
The default Android, Droid X, an EVO keyboards all install with the same package name. What does that mean?
If we don't push them into system/app or data/app we can only use one at a time if we install using Astro or similar.
I'm not going to give u instructions for using ADB in recovery (Hint Hint, SUFBS and RootFileExplorer wont write, can read though)
I have however made a flash-able update with the default keyboard framework only!
You can decide whether you want to push a dozen kb's or install them 1 at a time and try them out.
Also Here is a link to a page with EVO kb's

I think this is the most general place for a question like this but:
Can anyone theme the Dialer One app? If not suggest a replacement?
I've used Dialer One on my Android ported Windows HTC Diamond 2 and now on my Nexus One. I LOVE some of the themes for the stock android dialer but it lacking Dial-By-Name is a buzzkill.
Dialer One works AWESOME and I love it, but it just doesn't look right in Android (aka. not very elegant).
Short of spamming the developer, can it be done via the community like all of the other apps out there that get customized?

i would also like to have this ...
meanwhile i try it ...
it is possibl to extract the apk (via zip tools).
copy the apk file to your system, rename it to zip.
then extract the zip to a place on local system, then change the png files as you like, then save it ...
after you have done the changes, then you must open the zip directly via ex: 7zip, then drag (overwrite) the changed png files in the original folders..
then close the zip(apk) and rename it back to .apk
after that you must copy the apk file to /system/app (rooted and remounted as RW is needed).
then restart phone and it is done...
----------------
but i think, the devel should think about to make it more flexible to adjust an easier way for it .. because if there is an update, then you have todo the same again ...
(PLS: the theme itself is not bad on black, but it is not black, it is gray and it could be 50% darker, then i would be happy ..)
some tweaks
i have done a some modifications in black theme for mdpi devices for dialer one because i love this dialer olso made it system apk to enable it to clear missed call notifications. i changed only the black theme
if you like it download atched
if it-s not working copy only the res folder after extracting the apk end replace it to the folder of your working dialer one apk

thanx, you can download from market (playstore) and extract it from sytem/app with root explorer if you are rooted and open with winrar then change the png files inside it or copy res folder from my apk and replace it, than put it back in
READ THIS FIRST:
The original post is here alot of questions have been answered, here browse around there first.
UPDATE 9 PATCH TWEAKS:
This new version will port your favorite hdpi theme to an mdpi rom... yes 9 patch resizing. I want to be the first to say this is not 100% and it probably never will be, and over the next couple of days we can discuss this.
What it will do is resize every 9 patch in a rom and move it over to the mdpi theme. Yes this is the same method I used for all my hdpi ports.
What it might not get is the 9 patching data correctly, which means that it might get stretched incorrectly, most times you won't noticed but others it will be obvious. This will happen anywhere from 1% to 30% of the 9 patch pngs in a port, but all you will need to do is redraw them using the 9 patch draw tool in the adb folder.
My next version will have this included along with some instructions, along with font and boot animation porting.
Please respect other peoples work. If you port a theme using this and repost it don't just link back to the op... mention the author and give them props.
Also want to say I spent a looooong time trying to figure this out, and I tried many different ways, and I'm open to others suggestion on making this better
Oh and don't forget to to install Image Magick, its included and the HDPI to MDPI will not work without this.
This tool will take your favorite theme and inject it into your favorite rom... provided they are compatible with each other (might work if they aren't but thats for later). I did this cause alot of themers and people who like themes are always waiting for the nightly theme to get applied, well this will do it for you.
You can think of this as almost a theme installer.
INSTRUCTIONS by Norm12:
1. Download and extract.
1.5 Install image magick from the image magick folder... just run the installer and its ready to go. This is important the hdpi to mdpi will not work without it.
2. Copy both the theme and rom into the 1 click folder---the extracted one.
3. Open the 1-click folder and you should see your theme, rom, lib folder, and the injector script.
4. Doubleclick on the injector script----if you did everything correct it will open a cmd prompt
5. Enter the names of the rom and theme when asked...I did use the exact names and added ".zip" to the end.
5.5 Answer y if this is an hdpi to mdpi port otherwise n.
6. Hit enter and wait. When it is really done it will auto-close the cmd prompt. This may take 15 minutes.
7. Your newly themed rom will be in the same folder as the unthemed rom and theme zips. If it worked it should be slightly larger than the original rom. Enjoy
!!!IMPORTANT... BECAUSE 7ZIP SHOWS OUTPUT IGNORE THE "EVERYTHING IS OK" LET THE SCRIPT FINISH WHEN ITS DONE IT WILL CLOSE ITSELF IF YOU DOUBLE CLICKED IT OR IT WILL RETURN TO COMMAND PROMPT!!!
Ignore any errors your seeing while it runs, this is normal like before let it run completely through till it closes out.
Run time could be up too 20 minutes (60 with HDPI to MDPI) on a big theme/rom, but faster that waiting!
You must now install Image Magick if you would like to use the hdpi to mdpi resizing!
ISSUES:
There also seems to be an issue with the gallery3d.apk and the differences in the mdpi and hdpi version. For now remove this from the theme your porting otherwise it won't come out right.
Update 4:
HDPI to MDPI porting!!!!!
Update 3:
Removed verbose but added optopng verbose just let it run. It works but you have to let it finish, the cmd window will close it self.
Update 2:
Added verbose output so that you guys will know to close it out before its done...even tho 7zip says everything is ok... just let it do its thing.
Update 1:
Had the optimization stuff commented out... sorry its back on.
Script will clean up now after it finishes.
JAVA CLASSPATH:
Its needed for the signer to work properly goto a command prompt and type in java -version. if you get and error back java is not in your classpath and needs to be.
just right click on my computer, then goto properties, then click on the advanced tab, at the bottom click on the "Environment Variable" button.
Now click on the new button... the one on the bottom for system variable and put in this
variable name: JAVA_HOME
variable value: C:\<path-to-where-java-is>
Now click ok and select the path system variable and then click edit. IMPORTANT only append to the end of the value this... ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
then click ok and ok out of all those windows and open a new command prompt and type java -version you should get no error if you do your path to java was wrong follow the steps above again and make sure the path is correct.
WHAT THIS WON'T DO:
It won't port over xml or smali edits.
It wont port over what it can't find... so if your theme has a facebook widget or something but the rom does not then it will ignore that.
It will not port over fonts or anything other than the framework-res.apk and all the themes apks in the system/app folder. If this is popular Maybe other stuff can get included.
WHAT THIS WILL DO:
Shrink a 9 patch from HDPI size to MDPI size.
Push over all the themes pngs from the apk with it to the roms matching apk.
Optimize every png in the theme you are porting over.
Zip align all the apks in your newly themed rom.
Sign the newly themed rom.
Give me feed back.
I might make this easier and make the injector steal the apks for injection right from your phone and then inject and make a flashable to put right back on... tell me what you think.
New HDPI to MDPI version with 9 patch porting download

This will port any theme to any rom... provided they are compatible. So while you can go from a sense theme and inject it into a AOSP rom, it probably won't catch everything since it works off of matches. It also does not have any scaling included.
The biggest thing with this is that the theme and rom have to have a same file structure so all rom come and the have the system/app folder and the system/framework/framework-res.apk, this is what the injector looks for. So honestly you could build a theme from a buncha different apks from other themes it will inject that into your rom and give you back a flashable zip. So a good theme structure example would be Gommarah's Black Mod in the HERO CDMA forum.
I do however have a way to port HDPI theme to and MDPI ROM but its not 100%... if I get enough request I'll put it in its just the process I use to accomplish this is very complicated and requires some extra software, its also adds a significant overhead to the script run time (and 3x longer to run) It works in the since the it will shrink the HDPI 9patch png but the 9 patch data is wrong about 10-20% of the time. This won't cause the roms to force close but will just make some of the 9patch pngs to stretch wrong and would require a simple edit in the 9patch draw to fix it.
+1 for hdpi to mdpi scaling!
Any others want the hdpi to mdpi scaling? I've considered releasing it.

Just curious if I did this right as I am still fairly new to this whole scene and this whole process seemed to work way to easy. But basically I got both the rom and theme converted and then signed both zips. Does that mean that I can now successfully flash the new theme? Thanks in advance!

There is no need to sign anything, the injector will sign the final output zip. Take your theme zip and your rom zip and place it in the folder next to the script. Then just run the script when its finished you will get a a new zip called themed-<roms-name>.zip.... this is ready to flash (optoed, align and signed).

Just put the gapps system/app files into your ROM's system/app files. Then inject your theme, the tool does the rest
thanks again for the help! yall really helped, and rather quickly too!
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% there…
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 replacing…
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.

BASICS INSIDE THE APK
3 basic file types/extensions we will be dealing with most of the time
1. .xml - color codes, image redirections, are inside this file (use Notepadd++ to open such files)
2. .png - these are the images/icons we usually see on most part of the phone ui (open using photoshop/gimp and dont edit using paint or you will lose its transparency background)
3. .9.png - stretchable pngs that expand or shrink depending on the usage (these images has a black pixel boarder that needs to be preserved, or else you will be having error in compiling)
color codes (hex codes)
quick overview of color hexcodes (range - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F)
#FF000000 as an example (represents black while white is #FFFFFFFF)
FF or the first two letters of the code represents its transparency 00 means full transparent while FF is opaque (im using 88 or 80 for semi transparent)
next 6 digits are the RGB color code, look at this way #FFRRGGBB
if you want solid red, use #FFFF0000, solid green #FF00FF00, solid blue #FF0000FF
just play with the color codes (im sure you have just played with it in most of the rom options)
decompiled apk
once you decompiled apk, you will noticed a folder named res (this is our main concern, we will be working with this folder all the time)
inside the res folder...
there are lots of drawable-** folder that contains all of our images (.png and .9.png),
most of the icons are located in drawable-xhdpi and drawable-hdpi,
you can also find values folder containing some xmls such as
styles.xml - this xml is where i usually make my inverts of ui (from holo.light to holo for example)
drawables.xml - some color codes were redirected here
colors.xml - some of the hex codes inside styles.xml were redirected here, most color codes inside drawable folder and color folder are also redirected here, so i can only have one place of editing when converting color codes on my color versions of themes
next is the xml folder
xmls inside this folder controls the apps being themed, you can find package names of the apps as the xmls filenames
if you will noticed, there are some xmls here having upper cases, that's why we need the modified aapt.exe (again thanks titanic_fanatic)
last is the mipmap-** folder
this folder contains all the themed launcher icons, i already redirected all my themed app's launcher icons here
file names
how do i named the images? let's put an example
go to res/xml and look for com_android_calculator2.xml
now this is the xml that controls my themed calculator, if you open up the xml via Notepad++ you will notice the original png file names being replaced by my own themed png through a line code
this line for example (this is the delete icon in calculator)
Code:
<item name="drawable/calc_clear_symbol">@drawable/calculator_calc_clear_symbol</item>
the stock/original png which is calc_clear_symbol.png under drawable-xhdpi folder
Code:
<item name="[B][COLOR="Red"]drawable/calc_clear_symbol[/COLOR][/B]">@drawable/calculator_calc_clear_symbol</item>
is now being replaced by my themed icon calculator_calc_clear_symbol.png under drawable-xhdpi folder
Code:
<item name="drawable/calc_clear_symbol">@[B][COLOR="Red"]drawable/calculator_calc_clear_symbol[/COLOR][/B]</item>
i just put a prefix calculator_ so i can easily locate where they are when modifying
**most of the themes out there uses the app's package name as their prefix
for example...
in my theme i use
Code:
<item name="drawable/calc_clear_symbol">@drawable/[B][COLOR="Red"]calculator_[/COLOR][/B]calc_clear_symbol</item>
but others and most of them use
Code:
<item name="drawable/calc_clear_symbol">@drawable/[B][COLOR="Red"]com_android_calculator2_[/COLOR][/B]calc_clear_symbol</item>
i just make it simple the way i can easily search them in my drawables folder
IT'S MODDING TIME!
i will show you some examples and what file to edit with these mods
again file names of images may vary depending on theme,
but package name under res/xml are standard on all theme
before you begin modifying, delete Public.xml in res/values folder
remove themed launcher icons
delete these two folders
res/mipmap-hdpi
res/mipmap-xhdpi
remove themed specific apps
for example you don't want my themed keyboard and prefer stock aosp keyboard look
delete the xml of the apps you want to be removed, in our example keyboard which is
com_android_inputmethod_latin.xml in res/xml folder
change background of system and dialer
prepare your custom background (make sure you have the right size as per your screen resolution)
hdpi - 480x800
xhdpi - 640x960
and name it as
contacts_background_dial_holo_dark.png and framework_background_holo_dark.png
and replaced existing backgrounds in res/drawable-nodpi
change notification background
the image for that is system_notification_panel_bg.9.png located in res/drawable-xhdpi
note that this is a .9.png, be careful in editing and preserve the black 1px boarder of it
however you can bypass the image if you want to make it the stock look or pure black look
open com_android_systemui.xml in res/xml
look for the line
Code:
<item name="drawable/notification_panel_bg">@drawable/system_notification_panel_bg</item>
you can see that it was redirected to my themed image system_notification_panel_bg.9.png
if you prefer the stock background look, just delete that entire line
if you want it to be pure black, remove the redirection to the custom image and this time redirect it to hex code instead
Code:
<item name="drawable/notification_panel_bg">#FF000000</item>
change (non connected to google server) signal back to grey
download HueSilver.apk, rightclick and open archive using 7zip
go to res/drawable-xhdpi (for phone ui only, for tablet ui, go to res/drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi)
drag these icons outside the apk and replaced it on the apk you were modifying
(dragging existing images from the apk is only applicable to .png and not to .9.png)

I just noticed that the signal bars are always blue (using HueLite2.8), which is weird because I've been using your theme for a couple of versions and this is the first time I notice this. You can read my specs on my signature below.
I follow the color change from grey to blue and viceversa to check if there's Internet on my phone.
Could you please tell me if I can edit this using your guide and what should I change if that's the case? It would be great if it followed the color conventions in the official version, though.
Thanks in advance, sir.

download HueSilver.apk, rightclick and open archive using 7zip
go to res/drawable-xhdpi (for phone ui only, for tablet ui, go to res/drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi)
drag these icons outside the apk and replaced it on the apk you were modifying
(dragging existing images from the apk is only applicable to .png and not to .9.png)
