How are people changing the background of the nexus live wallpaper? I would love to know how so share please! I know how to change it from dark to light and dark droid and blue droid but how do I make the background a picture?
I might be missing something about what you're asking but I downloaded nexusmod 2.0 from the market and made my own color set from it

I have that but I've seen screenshots that have the nexus mod live wallpaper with a custom background such as a picture. So a custom picture background with the nural lines still.
You can unzip the .apk and replace the backgrounds inside the /res/drawable folder.

Cool. Thanks. However, I'm still a bit of a noob. I've looked but can't seem to piece together how to rezip and sign so that I can use my changes. Any help would be appreciated. Okay, can get it signed, now how to make as an apk again...

The backgroud is transparent. Make sure you save them as png files and not jpg.

I take no credit for creating this theme this is a port of the Darkness HD theme by Black'Up. I just used the template provided by blackup and icons made by other users to port the theme. I have tried to make custom icons for most of the apps that I use.
Features:
custom icons (thanks to black'up and macthemes community)
custom widget box skin and folder skin (thanks to newone from purple kush theme)
bounce animation(thanks aamikam and magnus for posting)
carousel animation for switching between tasks(taken from Multitasking pro app by Royerd) - Works well with itchingthumb
custom wallpaper (taken from insetHD theme on the iphone but modified to have android instead of apple)-u might have to add the wallpaper urself
includes auto brightness fix (from MIUI thread)
this is my first theme and i just figured out how to make it a flashable zip. I know it flashed fine for me so it should work.
also if there are icons you would like to see customized for this let me know.
Note this is based on MIUI 10.29 so i dont know how it will work for previous versions

It looks really nice.
Pretty badass looking. Nice work!
AwesomeZ!!!
A few questions.
Did you theme highlight colors? IE not android orange anymore for? I think all green would look great.
Also does this theme put a black backround around newly installed apps? I thought I saw this feature in purple.
Anyways, thanks for this theme. I will be flashing later today!!

Is there a way I can get to the Icons themselves I'm using Handcents but i'd like it to have the SMS Icon not the stock one and if I can get a hold of the .png i could rename it and place it in the folder for the Handcents.
Thank you!!

Having a problem, i have been trying to make the notification pulldown transparent and i made the png transparent, but now it just shows a black background. So i'm assuming there is a second background controled by a xml file or another png. Does anyone know what i have to edit to get it fully transparent?

2.2 requires an .xml edit in the services.jar to allow transparency in the notification background.

Thank you, thats what i was thinking. So i guess i will go poke around in the service.jar. Themeing the evo/2.2 is way more involved then 2.1/other phones

it's not an xml edit... you just need to resize the png to fit. it uses a small png and tiles it. so just resize it to 480x800 and you're cool. i've been modding those far a long time.
Oh, nice clock, by the way... if you are going to use my clock, can you please use my download link instead, thanx.

What!!!!! your asking me to give away my trade secrets? Just Kidding!!!! In gimp right click png go to image=mode=switch to RGB mode. Now u should be set to change color.
Also quick note Not sure if u know but the signal bars are actually in the com.htc.resources.apk and are named cdma_sys_6signal_X
I did not know that's where they were. Thanks I am going to give that a try.

Hey all, I'm using UOT Kitchen to change my status bar icons and battery icon. The battery worked out fine but the status bar icons are being a little uncooperative. The signal bar icons change sometimes, but often revert back to stock signal bars. The fact that the look keeps changing is annoying. I've read that it's because UOT gives the images the wrong names in the .zip, and I need to change the names for the phone to display the images at the right time. But question is, how do I do this? I assume I'd have to match each image to the corresponding stock image and make them have the same name, then just replace the images in the systemui.apk file, if possible.

Yep that should do the trick...you can use 7zip to browse the files of an apk
If that doesn't work then you may have to decompile the apk.and do some smali/and or xml edits...I really depends on the icons you choose I think...what you would be doing is changing the references from stock to the uot

While in 7zip viewing the .png images, I click on them and Windows Photo Viewer comes up... but for some reason, no image loads. How can I view the images in the .apk so I can tell which images match up? I need to view the .png files but it doesn't seem to want to let me see a preview with Windows Photo Viewer.

You can extract them then view them, edit them, rename them etc...once your done with your edits just delete the old ones from the APK and add your new modified/renamed one...
The only images you can't edit (you can still rename...just make sure you leave the ".9" in front of the ".PNG" ) are .9.pngs -if you want to actually edit a .9.png with you will need to decompile the apk with apktool...and even then they still need to be edited in a special way. In case your wondering a .9.PNG is basically an image with no set dimension...as in it can be minipulated by .xmls to stretch (an example of one is the message box in the SMS app...the longer the text message the bigger the message box...it gets stretched down)

Hi there,
So recently I got Nexus 5 after 4 years of HTC Desire. Quite a huge leap performace wise I might add, and this phone is absolutely a sweetheart. The first thing I did was rooting the phone :laugh:
Anyways, I am thinking to change the color of all icons (including icons of applications) to black and white. I get it that I would need to extract the icons first, and then change the color using some icon or icon editing program or simply a photo editing program etc.
Now what I would need to know is that how can I repack the icons back to the application? or would I need to place it in some directory and fiddle with some xml file?
Cheers!

Why don't you just use a Launcher that allow you to use custom icons? with Nova and Apex you can do it

Icons are icons. The colour of icons does not need xml files. Its all controlled by images.
You can actually repack quit easily, but also takes a lot of effort. You need to look at the villain rom theme engine. It is a flashable zip that unpacks each apk and replaces whatever you have in the zip in the apk. Essentially you would have /system/app_name/res/icon.png (pretending that this is the location of the icon in the apk, each will be different I expect)... but you have to do this for every app.
