Database Info

"porting" mods, themes, ect.

Could someone point me to a guide where I can learn to take certain aesthetics from one ROM and make them work on another? Also, which files in the .zip are the actual images (so i can create my own), and in turn sign the .zip and make is flashable?
Ill admit i didnt even attempt a search, as I havent the faintest as to what keywords to cycle in (YOU search "port" or "theme" amd sift through it LOL!)
I am relativly familiar with android, so maybe someone could even just do a quick stripdown in a comment.
I thank you MOST kindly

There is a guide in the themes thread.

You guys have been most helpful, and I apologize for the noob question especially for the clutter.
Thanks again, both of you!

Apps, gapps, zips, & fixes.

Hello all!!
Thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for everyone to post G APPS, ZIPS, FIXES, and of course APPS!!
NO PAID APPS / OR COPY RIGHTED MATERIAL PLEASE....
Many times flashing between different ROMs it is a pain to search from the phone to find the right " stuff " to add to a new software.
Idea is to post them here in one easy to find location. Please list as much info about the item you post as you can.
Best regards,
Chris
P.S. MOD'S please remove / delete this if there is any issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, CREDIT THE ITEMS DEVELOPERS!!!! OPEN SOURCE MEANS OPEN SOURCE, BUT IF YOU WORKED YOUR BUTT OFF, YOU DESERVE CREDIT!!!

Someone wanted a new font, here is a thread with a flashable font zip, it does work on cm7, just applied it!!!!
And not to mention several cm7 themes and extras!!!!!
Enjoy!!

Android themes

Dear Fellows,
I'm new to CM and its just my second post, I'm kinda interested in making/modifying themes on android phones. I have some queries regarding this..
1. do i need to create a new project from scratch and build my own apk or
2. do i just decompress other's theme apk and change it way i like (is that legal or acc to rule of android, CM forums etc )
3. Can i sale themes on play store using second method ( i know they worked but if its possible, i wont do if its not or illigal)
thanx for your reply in advance

1. There are plenty guides on the Android Theme section. I have written up a updated guide to create themes from scratch with extra info on how to theme your interface. There are some that show you how to theme using pre-made apks
2. Yes you can as long it is not a paid theme. A free one then its fine, you just have to ask the original themer for permission. So they know you're using his/hers theme as a base.
3. Yes you can if you have permission

[THEMED-APK] Black theme for Pipette

As the title reads, this is a black theme for Pipette.
All the credits go to the real devs as I'm just making a theme, which couldn't have been possible without them.
NOTE: If you are the developer(s) of Pipette (com.ochs.pipette) and have any objection, please contact me ASAP, I'll remove the thread right away!
Do not install over the existing app, instead uninstall and install. The signature doesn't match, so it can't be installed over the existing version.
Bugs in next post.
Credits:
1. Marcel Ochs for his awesome app.
2. F4, F4 and F4!
PS: I could create a substratum theme, but I won't be able to test as I have a JB device in an emulator, so I'd love to have people who'd test the upcoming theme.

Bugs:
1. The "ticks" in settings can't be seen.
I haven't noticed anything else *yet*.
