!! Let the Themes Begin !!
First off ... MadProps to the our android trailblazer JF for his smali/baksmali/deodexerant toolset, w/out these, we wouldn't have this ... so HUGE THANKS!
That said ... due to his great work ... you can and *should* donate to him here ... https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=1014600
** What we got here !! **
De-odex'd app/framework for the Nexus1 Stock ERD79 build from Google and the resulting theme templates!
Everything is de-odex'd except core.jar, which is fine for theme-ing (and pretty much all other) purposes.
UPDATED: 1/13/2010 - !!!
- These are now (v2) Theme Templates. Same templates as before, except, now basically these templates no longer nuke the entire system/app & system/framework. Instead this update-script was altered to only nuke .odex files (using remtool.sh) in system/app and system/framework. This will allow users to save their manually *pushed* apps to system/app when applying a theme!
- For themers who used the older v1 templates ... simply add the remtool.sh script to the base of the theme.zip and update the META-INF/com/google/android/update-script, to get the newer functionality! Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: These ThemeTemplates have only been tested on TheOfficial Nexus1-Expansion v1.3 (discontinued) & Cyanogen's Makin Bacon' Addons (discontinuing .... I assume).
THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE with cyanogen's CM-MOD-5.0 or my TheOfficial v1.4 and beyond.
They will likely work on any other STOCK Android-2.1-ERD79 based ROM's depending on what the dev has implemented.
I will maintain my own theme templates in my threads going forward, since the ROM customizations have begun. Good Stuff
These templates remain a great starting point, as well as a way for users who simply root, to still theme their own basic rooted builds.
Below are (2) theme templates ... the first is untouched plain jane, just simply de-odex'd.
The 2nd is untouched as well ... except the statusbar text's have been made white already. I did this to hopefully expedite the emergence of "black statusbar" themes quickly!!!

Here's the transparent version of the GenieWidget.apk from an earlier release. I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615700 if anyone wants more information.
I figured it'd be useful for the theme folks out there. I personally prefer this over the one that came with the phone.

Hurry upz, that looks smexy! Even though I don't have a Nexus yet, it does look nice.
Thanks bro its coming soon bro just got going and will very soon.
Is there a guide on how to theme?
I'm pretty handy with Photoshop and wouldn't mind having a go at making a theme!
Don't you simply replace the images shown in the theme? Well of course, after opening the apk file and looking at the contents. The pictures do come as indexed though, but you could simply convert them to RGB for a minute to apply more eccentric colors, and convert them back. I did this; I don't have my Nexus yet, sadly, so I don't know if my simple method really works.
Don't feel like tryin' on my G1.

How do I open this apk files? And will their be duplicate files in each apk and then I would have to replace everyone in each apk?

You can open the apk files with WinRAR, from what I've seen, the themes are set up like this. (When you open the .zip file in WinRAR)
System > Framework > framework-res.apk (which is where you really need to be) > res > drawable-hdpi is where all the images are used in the theme, from my personal understanding.
But you should talk to a professional themer, I'm just a guy who can graphic design a tad, and easily replace images. Um, and about the duplicate thing, I have no idea, I really just open the image file up, then right click on the image and edit it with my image editing program, and save - so that I don't have to extract the files myself.

Cheers for that! Will try tomorrow on my Mac hopefully should extract with UnRarX.
This pc doesn't have WinRAR so cant try it now (Family PC used for just Facebook...)
The .9.png cant just be edited,if you edit them you will need to use a tool called draw9patch in the sdk tools folder and set the guides and then re-sign the image with eclipse.

Hello All!
Here is my first theme for metamorph - Cyanified, updated to version 1.2. I have been wanting cyanification, but with all stock icons as the base... I didn't see any themes that fit the bill.
This will work on Stock Froyo (tested), and should work on any rom. It does not adjust services.jar, only images inside the framework-res.apk. You will need the lastest (xml) version of Metamorph, this will not work on the older .thm version of metamorph. It should also work if you are using a dark header bar, as I do not adjust the header images at all.
To go back to your original icons, you can flash your rom (without wiping).
To Do:
Finish up the .9png's. I've done a lot of them, but there's a lot more to do to get this themed fully.
Make some changes to Launcher2.apk for those using the stock launcher or who have moved their favorite launcher to /system/app/Launcher2.apk
Custom keyboard for HTC IME
Dialer adjustments (possibly)

Here's some shots of it with the LeoFroyo 0.4.1 rom, which has a black header as default:
I'm not providing any header options (neither black no transparent), you'll have to find a theme or mod, then apply this morph. As always, be sure to do a nandroid before making any major changes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply download the file below, extract it on your computer, move the extracted "cyanified" folder to "Android Themes" folder on your sdcard, and choose the .xml file in metamorph to apply it. It will cause a reboot since it is adjusting framework-res.
CHANGELOG:
v1.2 - Minor change to cyanified.xml, simply fixes an error upon applying (theme still works in v 1.1)
v1.1 - Completed .9.png files in the framework-res folder
Any suggestions or critiques welcomed!
Yes why not I'm interested ....
Thanks .
This looks awesome, do want.
I too would love a theme like this one.
Cyanogen has my heart. <3
...okay, that was a bit much.
Ok, I've uploaded version 1~
Enjoy!!
I've just uploaded version 1.1, now fully themed within framework-res. Enjoy! Will post more photos soon!
Is it possible for you to make a file for metamorph that just changes the lock screen? I like the whole theme, but i want to just use the cyan colored lock screen for now.
I need to root to do this rite

Just unzip the file, open up framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ and delete all the files you don't want to change.
So you'll be left with only these (I think this is all of them)

I guess you'd have to apply a theme or rom with the black status bar, and then apply this morph. You'd want the clock font to be white, and if you are on stock froyo that won't be possible.
I just switched to the LeoFroyo rom which has a black statusbar option, I'm going to test this morph on it and post some pictures.

i deleted all the other png's other than this one, and re-zipped. I am getting control errors so I uninstalled metamorph and reinstalled the newest from the market. Then I renamed the xml file to the same name as the zip file (saw in another thread to do this) and I am still getting control file error. Also reduced delay to ~2500, no go. Any ideas?
thx

Don't rezip. Just delete the files you don't want, then upload the folder to Android themes. Don't change the name of the xml file.
(THIS IS NOT EDIFY SIGNED)
TwoPointThree
you guys may remember this theme from froyo (i know you all do), the new version looks alot closer to the original since some of the changes in the CM source have allowed it to be.
-updated the drawer background
-sweet stock green gingerbread keyboard now included credit goes to Reprod in the evo forums
-green gradient progress bars
-all the other things you loved about twopointtwo
RLS1.1
-can be used on both the 1/26 and 1/28 RLS's
-flip animations
-resized lock screen

Download Theme for 3/26/11 Here!!!
thoughtlesskyle said:
this is based off the newest aospGBmod posted early this morning i will likely be making new versions of this till he posts a deodex'd version:
This is a Full ROM (not just an Update or Theme)
-you MUST do a clean install (since the build is odex'd failure to do a complete wipe will cause problems)
features,
- twopointthree theme (minus the themed desk clock the stock ones still works though)
- a lot of bloat removed
-stock launcher2
-notification tray toggle switches are removed
-added back the stock (themed) music.apk
things i have taken out
-pacman.apk (used for installing commonly downloaded items from the market on the markets first use)
-livewallpaperpicker - i dont use live wallpapers so it just took up space for me (i will likely make a flashable zip to put them back in for people who want them)
-adwlauncher (the market one is better atm anyway)
-cm wallpapers
-home screen tips
-probably a few other things
download here
THIS ROM IS AOSP'S WORK, I SIMPLY THEMED IT AND REMOVED THINGS FROM IT!
this is a screenie of the twopointthree theme since i cant get drocap to work (you will not have the homescreen tips)

Downloading as I type - great job with this!
can i get a update zip for just the signal bars
Won't work that way
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Wow I was just thinking, "wouldn't it be great if he made a new twopointthree for aospGBmod 0.2"
And so I check XDA forums and BANG here it is.
Thanks a million. I will use it religiously.
Glad to see you're still working on your themes for GB, downloading now
Ok, I can't download it stupid 4shared keeps quiting download right away and I only get 100KB of it... Anyone else having problems? I'm doing this on a computer not my phone (which gives me the same damn problems)
updated the first post, now that i have a ROM to build off of i should be able to RLS mostly updates for a while.
in order to use the update, starting from scratch
-nandroid
-install the ROM
-install your Gapps
-boot go through startup wizard (or just boot up if not using the wizard)
-then flash the update
if already using the ROM
-make a nandroid
-flash the update
enjoy guys! its bed time for me again
Please, I wouldn't normally ask this, but could you re-upload to somewhere besides 4shared? I cant download the ROM.
Great job Kyle! Looks awesome as usual my man. As soon as aosp gets Bluetooth and GPS working I'll be on the 2.3 bandwagon

I've gotta say I am not a fan of clockworkmod v3.0.0.5. It wil not let me install scripts like this update. Going back to Darchs RA recovery image!
looks awesome, nice work kyle! fyi, your latest update was done on 11/14/2011, lol. check the post. also, as this is a rom, you should put it into the development thread again, nice work.

i would put this in the development thread but doing that just would not be true, this is a theme with a modified slimed down ROM, i did not produce the rom and the rom already has its own Development thread.

the signal bars are in the systemUI folder
the volume up and down are controlled by an xml in the framework-res
since the stock ROM is odex'd you cant just flash this over top of it hence why you cant just have the signal bars, i am getting around it because i have modified the ROM so i can get in and tamper with it without causing an issue
ur good at theming, is everything i need to theme besides apps in the framework folder? or is it just framework.apk an stuff that has .jar have nothing to do with themeing

Hello, I really like the default theme installed called "System" however I want it to have the color scheme of the "Cyanbread" theme. Is there a way to do this?
Please just. Just leave. And post on the right thread
Sent from my x10 on cm7 gingerbread
Moved to proper forum.
A few things would be helpful to know... What ROM are you on now? Stock 2.1, custom 2.2 or 2.3?
Links to the thread with the theme you want (if you found it in a thread).
If you are on 2.1 I doubt it, the framework is really different from a AOSP/Cyan ROM.
If you are on a 2.2 ROM it can probably be done, but somebody would have to port the theme.
If you are on a Cyanogen 7 ROM I believe you can just install it with the theme chooser.
You need to be a little more helpful/informative to us if you want us to be helpful/informative to you.
I am on CyanogenMod 7
How would I install it with the theme chooser? Can I combine themes?
Ah, well that's good.
I haven't used Cyanbread but looking at the screenshots, it looks like it uses the same icons as J's CM7 it just colors them... so in essence the Cyanbread theme is what you are looking for?
Or am I misunderstanding what you want?
Cyanbread thread with screenshots of theme.
J's CM7 with some screenshots of his ROM (icon sets look the same besides color to me).
I advise not flashing the files in the Cyanbread theme thread because it is intended for another phone.
(J links to THIS thread for themes for his ROM, I see a Cyanbread or 2 in the list, but they seem to have custom percent icons).
(You can try THIS Cyanbread theme, it wasn't linked by J, but I don't think it has the custom percentage icons if you didn't want those).
Just make a backup before installing a new theme, if it doesn't work or you don't like it just restore your backup.
Yes, they are very similar however Cyanbread has some slight differences like the title background/texture.
Do you know anything about metamorph? Maybe that could achieve what i want?

Yeah, I've used metamorph before, this would be able to fix this issue I believe (unless the Cyan theme chooser doesn't save the settings in the framework).
I'm more familiar with just creating update.zips...
let me download one of the .apks and see if I am able to edit them.
If so what exactly is it that you want edited? Which title background/texture?
Edit: Looks like I can edit the .apk... I just need to know what image it is you don't want.
Wow, that would be great. Thanks.
It is the background on "About Phone" here:

Drag the frameworks_res_bottom_bar.png, frameworks_res_title_bar.9.png, frameworks_res_title_bar_medium.9.png,frameworks_res_title_bar_tall.9.png from cyanbread to the theme you want and push it to /system/app
Let me see what I can do, I believe I found the image in question, Now I just need to change it.
I'll post when I Think I've got it.
Try the attached .apk for the theme chooser.
And please for the love of god do a backup first.
I used THIS version of Cyanbread, which shouldn't matter, but it's not posted in any X10 sections, so just in case it doesn't want to work with our phone etc etc...
All credit goes to the original poster, I just edited 3 .png files.
Thank you very much! I will try that out tommorow
ok, let me know if it works, I'm using Z's B4 so I can't test it myself.
If it doesn't work I can try to re-sign the .apk.
I hope the title bar was the only thing you wanted edited.
I tried installing the apk using File Manager but it won't install. I uninstalled the original Cyanbread because I thought there might have been a conflict but that made no difference.

Ok, let me try to re-sign it.
But are you supposed to install it from the theme chooser?
(I haven't used the theme chooser before, so I'm not sure what the process is).
If this doessn't work the only thing I can think of is manually installing (or forcing it with xRecovery/FreeXperia Recovery, which is how I normally install things, but I don't know where to push the .apk).
Will upload the signed .apk in a little bit.
Edit: Found where the .apk would need to be pushed if we need to try with recovery.
You have to replace old Cyanbread in /system/app and set right permissions . Do not sign it.

Yep they do no need to be signed. Just push it to /system/app.
You can copy it by root explorer and set the permissions to rw-r-r or push using adb.
Any chance you have root explorer?
Because the update-script doesn't want to work for me if I try to set permissions with it.
If you have root explorer then you can install it manually.

Kitchen originally was built for HTC Desire, but now it supports most devices with Android OS.
Kitchen takes files from your rom and adds modifications you choose.
I have no association with this site, just a fan of it =)
With UOT you can customize the notification bar, notification bar icons, boot animation, window animations, and much more!
THIS WORKS WITH ANY 2.2 and 2.3 ROM!
Just an example of what I did to the notification bar icons on Wolfbreak's ROM using this website.

How to use kitchen
1. Go to Kitchen page http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
2. Browse through available mods and choose what you need (press generate preview)
3. Go to File upload section and upload your files or choose rom from kitchen's list (most roms in the list is for HTC Desire) Make sure you do this or you cannot finish your process. I have only seen Trips old 1.5 MIUI ROM and Wolfs 007.1 on the list. Send a request in to UOT Kitchen to add any ROM to the kitchen list.
OR
3. I suggest navigating to your rom, clicking system, then framework, then framework-res(for froyo ROMS only)
For gingerbread ROMS just upload the SystemUI file as well along with the step above.
4. In the same tab you will see "Select flashable zip scripting" Make sure you fill the bubble for "Amend scripting."
Cyanogenmod7 rom: Cyanbread.apk or Androidian.apk or any theme for ThemeChooser (rename as you like it to appear in theme menu)
NOTE 1: if you uploading theme apk - do not upload any other files (you're just wasting trafic, because kitchen will ignore additional files)
NOTE 2: Font packs and Bootanimation do not requires uploading files.
4. Go to Summary section. All choosen mod must be in green background. If there is mod in red background - it means you did not finished it.
press Submit work to kitchen
5. Remember UOT file name. You can wait for a kitchen to cook your request, but after 5min waiting will be stopped (nothing to worry about).
6. Go to Pickup page http://uot.dakra.lt/pickup/ and wait for your file to appear (it can take up to 30min or more)
7. Download UOT zip into SD card of your phone
8. Reboot into xrecovery and flash the UOT zip.
9. Reboot and enjoy =)

Not sure what your talking about for the stock 2.2.1 froyo, but if you download it and go to the system--> framework -->then res.apk you can find it
thanx.. although I already know how to find out problem is my framework already has battery percentage so it just keeps coming up with error when going through the kitchen hence I was hoping someone had the unmodified framework-res.apk?

Highlight system files because your uploading Wolfs Rom. Make sure you extract WB-009 Rom into a folder you can navigate to. Then when you have a folder go to the system--->framework---> Then framework res.apk. Then go to upload and then your good =)
Also make sure to highlight in "Amend scripting" instead of "edify scripting"
Thanks, i will use it!

Man... i wish i was as good as you are... ..
i don't know what's the taste of people...really hard to guess... I spent atleast 5 hours to look for icons on web and resize and incorporate them coz i was totally new to theming stuff...
well i m it out of it for now due to lack of positive feedback ....
atleast it will open doors for others who want to try themselves...
Will upload source files and method of how to do it so that people can do that themselves...

i hope you are not using framework.res.spk file from some other ROM.. Extract it from the ROM you are running... incompatibility issues can cause it
Secondly, makes sure it's png file format... find the files in my sample zip inside your framework file with same name... Use them as your base and edit them... Don't resize any png file and save uncompressed.. Should work easily...

I just had the same. I thought I had previously had it working with a 4.0.3 based ROM but maybe not ...... re-flashing the ROM now
And don't forget to set permissions correctly...
