All right, I did a little bit of experimenting and managed to use a theme created with the UOT Theme Kitchen ( thanks and all credits for the awesome kitchen script and art goes to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ ) and also enable the Gingerbread CRT animation on screen lock (thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977501 ).
It was actually pretty easy and I will provide more detailed instructions tomorrow (as it's late and I'm tired). For now, have some screenshots (my theming abilities are horrible, I know, it's proof of concept, after all) and the two files in question.
Some don'ts before you go ahead and just jump in and replace:
Don't replace them with the Root explorer. It will not work. Use ADB as instructed.
Don't use this if your bootloader isn't unlocked. If something goes wrong, your phone will boot loop and without a recovery, you're screwed. People with fastboot enabled devices can flash Binary's very very helpful system image from here via fastboot to get everything back to normal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
Here are the screenshots (I removed some of the ugly colorings now, I think it looks better):

Steps to install this "theme":
Enable USB debugging.
Make sure your phone is rooted and that you have busybox installed.
Make sure you ONLY use this on the R800i with Build Number 184. It might also work on other Xperia Play/Arc/Neo's with 184, but most likely, it won't.
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# reboot
Needed files are attached!
Have fun!
EDIT: Uploaded and attached the normal Play framework with enabled CRT animation.
EDIT2: Uploaded the Play framework with enabled CRT Animation for Firmware .145 (2.3.3)
EDIT3: Uploaded Verizon Play framework with enabled CRT Animation (Firmware 2.3.2 3.0.E.2.89)
If you want to donate to me as thanks, donate to the UOT Kitchen! http://uot.dakra.lt/ they did most of the work, I did very little.
Love it black and blue is the ultimate theme, and i really missed the CRT screen anim how sad is that!
just to clarify, why would we need an unlocked bootloader for this? surely if something goes wrong we can use sony's own software updater as it's unmodified?
Well, okay, that might also work, but since I don't have any way to test it, I can't guarantee it. I also think that that recovery method wipes all userdata, which isn't very nice. However, if you want to try out, feel free.
Done and Done, restored fine, due to all the testing ive been doing recently ive already got the recovery files and script set up to restore my phone to the way it was so it doesn't take too long.
So i can confirm at least on mine your ok to restore after doing this with sony's software IF your bootloader is locked.
getting different notification icons than you see below
I use good old launcher pro at the moment, mainly because out runs really snappy with live wallpapers and because the pro version has some useful widgets.
Also, did the "theme" apply well for you? I think the colours need some tuning still, and I eventually want to use my own images top make it a "proper" theme. For now, it's just to test the waters.
Sorry, didn't mean to double-post, taptalk spazzes out.
everything went fine, the last part wouldnt remount so i rebooted, then ran the last command when it semi-booted and rebooted again, the only thing that's off is the notification bar.
The colours are slightly off the blue looks to be baby blue as apposed to a striking darker blue, but great first attempt at customizing your the first!
Yeah, that was my impression as well. I'll work on it more tonight, after work, but that is still about 12 hours away (long day). For now, it's a start at least.
Just awesome!
Looks great, just pushed it to my Dansih branded phone, without issues.
Great to see stuff happening, and looking forward to see more.
Changed mine a little cant wait to see this as a darker blue it will be awesome!

E: have flashed the UK 1.84 generic and used the arc's framework-res.apk for 1.84 FW. Copied the apk to system first then changed permissions and then moved it to /system/framework to avoid bootloop, wich I encountered the first time I tried. Hence the flashing :-S

It's most likely because the framework from the thread only works on Plays with FW Version 181. To fix the bootloop, either flash Binary's pre-rooted System image that I linked to in my first post (if you have an unlocked bootloader) or use the Sony Ericsson Update service on your PC to repair it.
Downloading Binary's file right now. Used the file that was made for 184 that's also in the thread now.
Edit: Binary's file fixed mine, did give me back my bloatware

thats quite useful being compatible with the arc, the arc has diffrent specs to the play, so you would expect the framework to call for diffrent libs obviously not

Now that we have Root and the amazing recovery tool... I decided it was time to test things out. No we dont have MetaMorph, but until then... The "old fashioned" way will work. I pulled the framework, made a quick modification to the BATTERY icons and pushed it back... and BAM!! Blue battery!
So far i see no adverse effects... so i will be pushing my fully themed Framework-res.apk to my INC later this evening. Proof? See pic...with BLUE battery! Thats just the start of my theme!

All the images are located within framework-res.apk, But there are several other places that you can edit xmls to make further changes. you can extract them directly from there, and replace them using 7zip without need to sign the apk. The most common are found in /res/drawable hdpi/
Before experimenting i would suggest reading up on Patch 9 files. Those require more than just editing the png.

To my knowledge that requires editing the Services.jar file. There are scripts out there for editing this file, but the short answer for now is NO. (unless you're a java guru)

1. Always do a nandroid backup first...
2. push framework-res.apk file to root of sdcard
3. boot phone into recovery
4. mount /system and /sdcard from recovery
5. open adb shell and type:
busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

I concur with ALWAYS do a back up...
no need to push file to SDCard though, or use busybox cp
Just push it directly from its location.
Reboot to recovery...
Mount /system (under partitions menu)
open cmd prompt and type:
adb push (file location) /system/framework/framework-res.apk
example :
adb push c:\android\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

They can be edited to change to any color you want!!
FYI i will be sharing my modded framework-res.apk shortly, working out a few things. My version will change ALL status icons, battery meter, signal bars, and a whole lot more (basically everything GREEN)to the Blue you see in the battery in the pic.
Having a lil trouble....
Ok so i managed to edit almost everything in framework, (still working on the.9.pngs, they take sooo much time)..... But im having an issue...
Hopefully some one here can help me solve this. Unlike the moto, i cant seem to get the signal meter, or the 3g/1x/etc icon to change. all other icons are acting as they should but these stay the same. Ive re-copied them, and pushed the apk 3 times...
Anyone with ideas...

Again, thats part of the Services.jar ... and i know little to nothin of java.
Soon enough the smart guys will have a script to edit it!
I'm going to remove the gps icon. Unless the OP does it first. I only want to see it when I turn it on.
This is a copy/paste from here.
This is a port of Manup456's NexTheme for the Motorola Droid X. It is meant to be run on the .604 update to Android 2.1.
This installation will require some work, though it is not too difficult. You just need to follow the instructions.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong in this process - Though with the SBF file now, it is almost impossible to brick a Droid X.
That being said, I didn't even need to restore while I was porting and testing this, so there should be minimal chance of any major mess-ups.
Instructions:
1. Download 'MetaMorph' from the market. Run it once and grant it root permissions.
2. Download the following file:
NexTheme.zip
3. Extract the file. Put the MM.zip file in sdcard/AndroidThemes and the other two in /sdcard/nextheme
4. We will first need to push framework-res.apk and services.jar to the system. Do not use root explorer to copy the files! Open up your terminal emulator or adb (preferably) and type:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot
after this reboot, you should notice a different status bar, but the clock and time will still be black.
open up terminal emulator (or adb) again and this time we'll push services.jar
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/services.jar /system/framework/
reboot
The following reboot will take between 3-5 minutes!
Now the clock and time, etc. will be white.
5. Now, fire up MetaMorph and choose unzip/extract new theme, select nextheme, and let it do it's thing extracting. Once it's done extracting, you can apply all the themes (for the apps), or apply only the ones you want.
6. Enjoy your new theme

From what I understand the only change to the services.jar is so that the text shows up white. Other than that everything else is changed in the framework-res.apk (aside from the settings icons and such).

Also I can't post the apk's for the commercial apps like Widgetlocker and Pandora so I can give you the res file to manually insert into the apk.

Directions
Unzip the contents of Dynamite.zip and put them on the root of your SD card (excluding fancywidget.apk and the Widgetlocker res folder)
Open Terminal Emulator and input the following commands exactly
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Music.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework
cp /sdcard/BlurHome.apk /system/app
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
Your phone might reboot a couple times and/or take a while to boot. Don't freak out just let it do its thing. After that you should be DY-NO-MITE!!
For Widgetlocker and Fancy Widget it's a little more tricky
Replace the Widgetlocker res file with the one I uploaded
Put the Widgetlocker apk and fancywidget.apk in the tools folder inside android-sdk-windows folder
Re-sign them using the above mentioned method
Open a command prompt and navigate to your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder
and adb install them and that should be it
I don't see a download link, and also, what is auto signer for? You don't to sign an packages with Koush's recovery.
If I
m wrong about anything please let me know.
Files to come soon. I gotta sign up for Megaupload or something. The autosigner is for re installing themed Widgetlocker and fancy widget. The only way I could get them to install was to resign them and then adb install. Otherwise I would get the application could not be installed error.

Dat shz it clean!!!!!! good tihng i got 2.1!
can u post up some more specific instructins on hos to apply the widget locker?
and is the widget locker the one dat adds the extra settings ot the lock screen?
You have had to buy Widgetlocker in the first place. I am not posting the Widgetlocker.apk file. Just the res file that contains the modified png files. Add my modified res folder to com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker.apk and put that into \android-sdk-windows\tools folder. Then resign the apk file. And then adb install. The End.
ok 2 things.
1. can i use some of your pandora for UPgrade 2.2, I say some because im changing the app widget png to be more gloss black.
2.Also in pandora you didnt change the hdpi-land app widget png
3. got a new swype, wayyyyyy better than the other one, should work on 2.1 still
Trying to get music done then will do a new thread for 2.2. When are you coming to the dark side?
I'm probably going to 2.2 this week. Just not sure how to go about it. When I tried to do it last time it gave me some error about blur so I gave up. So for the deodexed version I have to have the other 2.2 installed first right? So that means I have to SBF-root-2.2 upgrade-deodex 2.2 upgrade?

1.To make the phone ring faster when dialing out, I changed

Now the phone rings pretty much instantly when dialing out.
2.To enable better scrolling speed through lists, I changed
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=55
to
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
Scrolling through the app drawer and contacts and any lists really is now smoother.
3.Now, to save battery by decreasing the amount of time Wifi looks for an access point, I changed
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval =60
to
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval =90
Now wifi will scan once every 1.5 minutes when not around a known location instead of once every minute which will save battery.
I also changed the Dalvik VM heap size from
dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m
to
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m

will this be something we can install right over the leaked version or will this be a downgrade situation?
will it include the new baseband and kernal? i see the sc... but didn't know if that meant the update would include those items.
If you already have the official OTA Froyo and just want the deodex'd files, they will be posted later.
cool. thanks. just didn't know if this was going to be the easy-update method or not.
so this is really more for folks who've done the official OTA update (e.g. downgrade from leak via sbf to 2.1 -> update to official OTA)?

I understand.. I was just showing you a place so you can "borrow" some stuff from so you won't have to do alot from the beginning. Like the black task bar.. I see your big picture and was no way trying to compare the two
Good luck. Can't wait to see the finished product.
For those of you who just want the deodex files, you can download the done folders and place them in the root of your sdcard and run the commands.
Deodex Files
1. Place phone in USB Mass Storage; place done_app and done_frame in root of sdcard.
2. Place phone in PC Mode; run commands below.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
exit
exit
adb reboot
3. Enjoy your deodex'd OTA Froyo.
So this can be applied with the clockwork recovery over the first leaked version of 2.2 with no problems?

Do you think if I applied this I would be able to use the clockwork recovery to go back to backup I made of the 2.3.9 I have now? Or would the new baseband files give it problems?
TBH i dont know since ur coming from a leaked 2.2 to OTA 2.2, back to leaked 2.2 though clockwork recovery...

why would you want the leaked 2.2 when u can get the official OTA 2.2 with all the same thing but with better performance...
Just want to be sure, I can apply the update.zip through clockwork over the leaked version and I'll be rooted, deodexed official 2.2?

Yeah, true enough. It's a whole different kettel of fish now - we just need to edit the xml's (decompiling/recompiling with apktool) and drag them into the framework now.
I just had a bit of a play... I managed to change the color of the provider text by editing res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml. Changing status_bar_icon.xml didn't seem to have any effect but I did add some alpha. I will have another look tomorrow and post what I find out in my themes reference thread.

I'm just working on a little program to remove the background on all the stock icons - then I can just darken them up a bit and it should look pretty decent...
Has anyone here modded framework-res.apk located in system/framework?
I'm doing what is wrote in this guide, but phone dosen't boot then. I had to flash it with SEUS.
Here is what i do. Am i missing or wronging something?
Code:
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Timescape.apk
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)

There's a few things you could be doing wrong, the one that springs to mind is if your doing some xml mods and not adding resources.arsc to the framework in the proper manner.

Thanks.
I resolved all my problems.
It depended on unsecure shell.
All worked fine.
Thanks again
Thanks to this little beauty I got all of the icons done in one shot .
I have attached the framework with the only modification being the white status bar and dark icons (and the fact that you can see the clock, of course ).
Don't forget to unzip the framework, don't just rename it
woot woot, pretty awesome, nice work indeed....now we actually need a completely white theme.....
Chewitts on the case I just did this cause I could
