I collect the best images from all frameworks I've ever used.
Most of the icons and images are from Xperia Arc theme.
I've also changed the color of the Settings from white to black.
(On Hermes the color of Settings is black, so only replace
"framework-res.apk" and "SystemUI.apk". Also some of
the stuff are used on Hermes.)
Here is what you need to do:
1. Backup your original "framework-res.apk", "SystemUI.apk",
"Settings.apk", "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk" and "Phone.apk"
by Root Explorer or whatever you use in case you want to go back
to the original ones
2. Download the files I've attached and extract them.
3. Copy the extracted files to your SD card.
4. Move theme from SD card to the system.
5. Set their permission like the last attached picture.
6. Move "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", "Phone.apk", "Settings.apk"
and "SystemUI.apk" to system/app.
7. Move "framework-res.apk" to system/framework.
8. Reboot Your Tab.
*On RC1 if you just want to turn the color of Settings to black, do these
steps only for "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", "Phone.apk" and "Settings.apk".*
That's it, I hope you like it, if you do just hit the thanks button.
seems to be an interesting theme but not very impressive. as you know after one being on MIUI, rest everything looks so so.. what i say is, instead of backing up all those files if things go wrong, why don't we do a cwm backup and restore if things r not working?
did you manage to get timescape working?
thanks for the hard work and keep going. appreciated

Sure you can backup the files with cwm, I just wanted to say backup your files,
it's doesn't matter in which way.
I don't know about timescape because i haven't tried it.

I agree that the launcher launcher like that Apple device but the rom in general is one of the best imho.
Anyway, the theme looks nice. Good job bro.

I'm glad you all liked it.
I changed the color of the overscroll glow from orange to white, it looks better
on black pages but you are not able to see the color on white pages, so if you
to have different color just tell me to make another one and if you want to change
it yourselves there are two picture in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi with
the names "overscroll_edge.png" and "overscroll_glow.png".
looking very good
what does the Phone.apk do exactly ?
cuz nothing changes ?

When you replace "Settings.apk" your "Call Settings" and "Account and Sync" are
still white. So if you want to make them black you need to replace "phone.apk"
and "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk" as well.

Working on it now, looking good so far too! Once I sign it I will post a screenshot here! If it works, that is.
Not sure why but When I zipped the files back it's smaller than the original. I Looked in every folder and nothing has changed. I push the signed apk and it will not show up as an app. I tried to install and fails. Here are the images if someone wants to try it out. I'm not an app maker so clueless what's going on!! Facebook app didn't do this so dev must have encoded something? I have also themed the search widget, google voice widget, power widget, and the Browser black and no issues!!!! Help
I wish I know how to do this so I could help... I randomly try it myself and got stuck at application not installed after I zip it back up

Read my guide, pay attention to the "creating a flashable package" part, basically to alter any file/folder on your phone you would simply need to place the file/folder in the appropriate folder structure within that zip, then flash. (This is all done while the package is still in the .apk format, you would need 7zip to open it and do the editing while it's still packaged, you never extract)
It'd be easiest for you to just go back to pick and pack, then flash the puzzle lock - that would get everything else back to stock that isn't themed.
I figured that would be the easiest route but Im feeling froggy and want to do it the hard way.i'm about to start digging into your guide now.

If you can find a swype that has been themed for another phone, you should be able to easily port it to the pnp version with theme porter, then add that APP to my puzzle lock theme and flash. Let me know and I'll include it in the theme.

Yea, I tried pulling the widgetlocker .apk from my phone, editing it and pushing it back and it dissappeared from my app drawer, so I'm still learning about those issues.
You guys could port that swype keyboard to pnp (using my guide) and create a package that only flashes that app to your phone... once i'ts ported it could be added to any existing theme's too.

As you know, I know nothing about themeing but when I tried to just overwrite the .apk file it gave me an error saying that the app wasn't designed for my phone (or something like that) and would have limited usability. And then came the onslaught of the FC loop. Would making this a flashable install fix that or is it because the app itself just doesn't work with our phones?

that's why we have to port them to the pnp version first, it just copies all of the .png files to our version (that already works on our phone) then you would be able to replace it through root explorer (or make a flash package) sounds like you were trying to use the .apk from the other phone? Never do that btw

LOL Yeah I learned that lesson. Thank God for nandroid backups. It actually wasn't that bad just couldn't use the Swype keyboard anymore (even after putting our .apk back on). Maybe I'll give your guide a try. It kind of intimidated me the first time I read through it but maybe just pulling a single app will be a good way to start.

Skip reading the part about framework and decompiling. App's are wayyy easier, you should be able to just use theme porter (as long as the folder names within the theme'd version matches what's in pnp's version, should have -v4 i believe so you may have to rename those in the theme version.) Or you could manually move the .png's by opening each one in 7zip side by side.

thought id try help.. been a while since ive used 2.1 though! lol (this was like the early 2.1 update we first got before all the roms came out)
1) i reckon the menu button background thing is most likely lurking in framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
2) the background from the launcher is probably in launcher.apk somewhere although i used to use adw launcher so never really looked into that.
3) as for mediascape background it should be in mediascape.apk although im sure theres some background in there maybe from playlist section or something else where theres a separate background file. cant remember in which apk ul find it but i think it was along the lines of the timescape or framework-res apk's!
some help i am lol sorry.. but if ya wanna look at the old work i had and maybe figure something out then feel free to do so. link should be in signature below if needed!
hope it helps!! good luck
Just copy and paste the apks contained in the zip into /system/framework using root explorer and reboot phone manually if you have to. Yes the files are taken from older captivate themes. Blackfroyo for twframework and some basic perception theme template for framework, so credit to them.
And the notification colors are actually blue...not orange. The screenshot program messed up the colors.
http://www.multiupload.com/VS4FBH54UW
Also If you post some links to some awesome themes, I'll port them over for you. As I'm too lazy to dig through all of xda. Just make sure they are Froyo themes to make it easier...Or else there may be difficulty on porting as easily.
I'm already working on porting MattedBlues over, in case anyone asks.
Sorry for the noob-like question, but both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk already exist in the /system/framework/ folder. Am I supposed to overwrite them?
I'm new to the Android world and am still figuring my way around.
Thanks.

Glad to hear your anticipation. Jabbawalkee (the guy who made it) and I take MattedBlues very seriously. As a matter of fact, the Theme Chooser version is just about done in case you run CM on any other devices. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
One issue. When using the stock music player lock screen controls the playback control buttons are not shown. instead it's the number 1(previous track). 2 (play/pause). 3 (next track) . they controls still function but the images are not the proper ones.
I tried to paste these after doing a backup of original files and it says there is not enough memory to paste the files?
Nevermind, I am an idiot.
I was not looking at how much free space I have and I was out of free space.
I moved angry birds .apk to sdcard and copy paste worked great. I also copied the stock .apk files from framework to sdcard just in case
Working now.
very nice theme!!!
Id like to know if there is a very plain and basic 100% Stock Gingerbread Theme for the Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy has always these ugly blue paddings, borders and tabs while the stock Gingerbread is mostly BLACK (which saves battery) along with orange highlights. I'm running Overcome ROM v3.1.0 KRATOS Gingerbread and really would like to make it look just plain vanilla 100% stock!
Thanks for the advice.
Here it is. Almost like the original.

-fixed charging animation (not tested)
-darker Volumebar
-Black titlebar replaced by another guy. Thanks!

Hey Guy,
After a few days trying, i have to give up. I can't find the responsible pic for the black banner in the settings. I know it musst be a file in the framework-res.apk, but where?

This is only the case with amoled screens, it does not apply to LCD screens like the Tab has. The same amount of power is used to display a black pixel as is used to display a white one.
I believe your problem is the dark_header.png try this framework, i cant test it ATM. Heres the png too.
Fantastic! It works. I will implane it in the download file. If i find the time.

OK, installed it and it looks great!! I will keep it, very very good job thank you very much!! Some of the dialogue screens seem more square than they were originally and many icons (like settings and shot off screen) totally lost their color also, but its OK, I like the look
I have a question, you replaced the WIFI meter icon on the upper task bar with the stock one which looks perfect now. A friend of mine also with KRATOS on his Tab wants to keep the stock KRATOS theme but would love to get your stock taskbar WIFI meter icon. How would this be possible? Would it be an easy fix to create an update zip just with that change? I have no idea how to do it..
Further modding...
I have a further question...
Has anyone here tried to use UOT Kitchen to do any modding? I tried to get a few things changed but the only thing I could successfully mod was the battery icon styly. Everything else I try to do, upon reboot, its not modded.
Among other things id like to add transparency to the taskbar pulldown (like the old Overcome 1.x Froyo that was sooooooo nice and that is gone from KRATOS) as well changing the Notification Power Buttons and taskbar icons to stock Gingerbread.. but nothing, upon flash and reboot, nothing has changed. I'm frustrated.
has anyone successfully used this? Thanks in advance for any input
