Yeah... I know it's something simple. I'm trying to edit the .png files but 7zip won't update what I've done when I'm finished. Plus I'm a hell of a lot more confident in others here than I am myself. I can't just push the phone.apk from that theme, can I? That seems far too simple.

what rom are you running now? ill see what I can do.

Gumbo 1.5c Bare. I think that'll look really good with the DarkStar theme. I switched back to 1.5 just so I can use that theme. I love it!
Thanks, bro. I really appreciate it.
What would happen if I were to just push the phone.apk? It's just a bunch of .png & 9.png files...

I started to do the same thing awhile back but never quite finished. our dialer buttons were in htccontacts.apk if i remember right
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614830 might help someone.

they are actually in both if you just change contacts then it changes the main dialer but if you go to enter in numbers while in a call then it is still stock to it needs to be both.

ok here ya go the dark star dialer just flash like any other update.

You're the man! Thanks bro!!!

not a problem I shouldnt have to tell to you to backup before flashing. let me know how it works.

Works like a charm! Can you explain what you did so I can start to figure this out for myself?

And post a screen shot as well.
Also -- will this work on Sense?
Oh, +1 for "knowing what you did". What files did you edit?

honestly I could have easly gone in PS and made them but there is an even easier was to do it.
1. downloaded the theme
2. unziped the theme file
3. unziped Phone.apk from theme
4. went into drawable folder.
5. used winrar to open (not unzip) stock Phone.apk and navigated to drawable folder.
6. selected dialer buttons in themes drawable folder
7. draged buttons into stock Phone.apk
repeat with HtcContacts.apk
ziped it all up signed it.
good to go.

Gotcha, and when you said to edit the stuff in the drawable folder -- I presume the actual files that were edited were in the drawable-480x320 folder and began with "phone_number_#_rest/press.png, right?"

It's fine -- I'm just trying to create a custom theme and sometimes don't know which files to actually edit, that's all. Do you know how to create a custom ROM at all -- or at least what all it entails? I know its a lot like creating a theme for the most part, but I'm not even sure where to begin the process.

Thanks for the how-to... That's going to help a whole lot!

im more than happy to help with anything theme wise though. Just let me know what you need.

[THEME] I've found a decent theme for FroYo...

I took no part in the making of this theme!! It is the handy work of 928Droid!!
I love the features of 2.2, but I not really fond of the stock look so I did some searching and found a pretty nice theme. It was originally made for the Droid but with very minor tweaks will work on the Nexus.
Download MetaMorph version Here in the first post.
Use the MetaMorph version and don't apply the services sub-theme and it should work perfectly.
Grab a services.jar from another Nexus theme and push it to system/framework so you will have the white clock and notifications.
Looks cool! Very sleek.
A port of the Black Glass theme he did would be much appreciated!
I wanted to install it but I didnt think it would work on my nexus.
i cant figure out which theme that is grrrrr
Bump'd it. Links up. I MM'd this on top of Kang-O-Rama froyo. Worked fine. FC loop when it got to "phone". If this happens to you, just reboot, go back to MM and start where it left off...skipping "services"

How did you "swap them"? If you extracted all the files and then repackaged them, I'd say that's why it didn't work. I modify resources by directly editing the APK. Use 7-zip, right-click the file, under the 7-zip menu hit "open archive", and drag and drop the files you changed to their spot. That should work.

Hey all, here is an Metamorph theme for PurpleSwype by wowthatisrandom
Open Metamorph, Extract the theme. Then apply. Restart phone- Yippee-ki-yay
**Important. The swype file must be named Swype.apk and must be located in system/app...so rename the apk and/or move it (sometimes its located in data/app)
Let me know if it doesnt work. Attached is a screenshot as well!
Thanks wowthatisrandom!

Sorry to dredge this old thread up, but hey... I searched lol.
Does this purple swype download work on other phones? I'm attempting to edit it myself but I'm not sure if I'm applying it to the apk properly.

One Click Rom/Theme Optimizer and Signer

This tool will open any AOSP based rom or theme (as long as the file structure is correct) and optimize and zip align everything.
Simply grab your rom or theme and place it in this folder (should work from anywhere but you need to full path from where the cmd file is run). Now click on the reopto_runner.cmd and it will ask you where the rom is (name) that you want to optomize, type the name of the rom and hit enter, it will do the rest.
Final output of the re-optimized (double pass with 2 different png optimizers) rom will be named rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip this will be exactly the same rom except the script will optomize every png in every apk found in the system/app and system/framework-res.apk. It will also zipalign all these same apks and finally will sign the zip file. When its done just rename the rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip to what ever you want and its ready to flash.
What this won't do is make your zip file (rom, theme, update zip) flashable unless its already set up to be flashable... meaning you'll still need your update-script in the com.google.android folder to be there. Its does sign your zip file for you though.
I put this out there as its some of the scripting and tools I have made to help me in theming and rom hacking.
Feel free to use any part of this to help you in any scripting you do.
Sweet, you are the man. Going to try it out now.
I'm going to try this on the MIUI ROM!

I have only tried this method on AOSP based roms the script should work on any rom or theme or update zip that follow this structure in the top level. system/app/*apk and system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is pretty much all of them.
The script takes about 10 minutes or so to run on cm6 rom and is really quick on most of the themes here. So for instance you could use it to make sure or re optimize a theme or roms.
feel free to tire it apart and use it in other fashions. I can guarantee it will shave some about of space of any rom or theme along with the zip aligning of every apk. If its a short request I'll post some more automated tiny scripts to todo various stuff.
Little confused. I run any aosp rom through this and it makes it compatable with the hero? ( sorry for the newb question)

Thank you for the praise, wife been complaining about doing stuff for free so I might have to post my pay pal account with a wife complaining button.
I might just release a script that does it for you. mdpi to mdpi (or hdpi to hdpi) no matter what rom is fairly easy todo. Of course it can only theme what it can match but it will do it for you.
For a more in depth description would take some time so I'll probably have to do it some time later.

maybe but he should have done the png opto and zipaligning already. I do add another png opto that most people dont do which will squeeze out another couple of kb, was able to shrink cm6 by 16 or so kb, which doesnt seem like alot but every bit counts.
You could use it to just see, like whenever you d/l a new rom run this on it and compare the file size, or load the rom and run a linpack and then opto it and then reload it and then do a linpack and see what you get. Some themers don't zipalign there themes and don't opto there pngs, and I have yet to see anyone use optipng and the other png opto program i use as a double pass system of optimizing pngs.
I like to use it for my themes or roms as it automates the hole process. Try it out if you use it on a rom it will give you a new optoed copy that is already sign and ready to flash... one click

Sounds good . Of course, when you say "every rom" you only mean AOSP roms, right? I'd suppose it wouldn't be able to rip, for instance, Nfinite's latest rooted Stock ROM apart and png optimize/zipalign it? If it could, holy crap. On top of the fact I use Odex, that would be amazing.

should work on that to since it only looks at pngs and apk. it will onyl zip align the framework-res.apk and the system/app apk's. Actually try it out I never have but it should work.
remember to nand before you flash it but you should be a ok, as I can't see any reason why it would work.

[Q] Question about app intergration and themeing

I'm currently running the newest infinity rom. I cant seem to get my facebook contact pics to update and most of which have the default blank icon. Any way to get the profile pics in my contact list to update from facebook? Is this a possible issue because facebook isn't integrated into the rom? Is there a way to integrate Facebook into the rom? I notice when i stalled FB i can only syc contacts and not calendar. Is there a way to syc both?
Secondly, My wife was wanting a theme she found but it was for old ee4 roms. Is there a easy tut to themeing? If i can figure out how to theme I wouldnt mind doing a couple of themes to keep our roms looking fresh. Lastly, i really like the theme that's in infinity. only thing i would like to change is the over-glow when scrolling. i wanted to change it from yellowish tone to the light blue that's in the rom in a few places. How do i change that? Is there a way to change just that without creating a whole theme?
Check if the sns services are included with infinity.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
this may sound like a noob question but im just starting to learn how to really get into the rom to change things. were would i look to find the sns service?
I ran a search in root explorer for sns services and nothing showed up.

[Q] Will Themes from the International One X work for us?

Shouldn't the themes for the International One X work for us as well? Especially since there's a new way of theming that just replaces the graphical stuff and not the actual apk. They say it should work on most devices with same sense versions. We have the same sense version, same resolution same buttons etc. I've tried a few but the developers have a model check and they abort. The one that i found over there that did not do a model check worked fine. Could someone with experience with themes chime in please? thanks!
EDIT. I'm only talking about themes With the villain theming system. It does not replace the apks, only mods them.

As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.
Features..
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices

What "new theming method" are you talking about?
The only type of themeing I've seen is replacing system files, like SystemUI.apk and stuff.
It that's the case, then no it won't work.

As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.

I changed text to red that i thought pertained to this subject
I installed this theme without issues. Was made using villain theme system for the International one X
Quote from changelog of this theme
UPDATE 21 May: After a lot of tweaking and tinkering, have managed to make the theme work with the VillainTheme system. This means that it should now work with any ROM, and shouldn't affect any of the ROM dev's individual tweaks.
The theme modifies the following system apks:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
fusion.apk

Sense 4 is sense 4 as far as I know. I'm sure you can remove the model check form the update script. link one you'd like to install and I'll check it out
That's definitely not a good idea. Most Sense themes contain the SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. So if the rom your using on your AT&T One X has any mods done to any of those apk's you will loose them and if the rom that the theme was built for has any mods done to those apk's you will more than likely have issues. If there is a specific theme you like, get me the link and I will try to port it over.

No you're right, not a noob. Tiff didn't realize I was talking about the villain theming system.. This system only replaces graphics, not the entire apk. Unfortunately she said she wasn't familiar ( hasn't used it) so that reply is a little misleading. I'll get you that theme I was talking about to try and change the model.

Remember I'm just talking about themes done with villain only. All others will replace system ui etc. We don't want that...just the new school

See if you can change this to evita. Or remove the model check all together. I'll test it

Ok I've found the model check lines in the aroma installer but I have no idea how to disable them.
It LOOKS like if you unzip the theme you can push the vrtheme folder to your sd card on your phone and then run the installtheme.sh from adb shell.
EDIT:
BZZZZZT thanks for playing try again.

Wouldn't it be a little hard to install a theme while the rom is running? Just thinking it would be A mess changing graphics while active. Unless I misunderstood yooz.
Maybe I could swap the vrtheme folder in the theme that does work, doesn't check the model. That cream theme I posted earlier..mwhat a horrible name lol

if you look at updater-script you can change endeavor0 to evita.
Then it will pass the check. but I'm scared to try it myself
but swapping the files in that cream theme might make more sense
I just tried swapping out the vrtheme folder and it dien't work it failed to install in recovery
