lol I meant the needing more girl themers part because then we would have more theme color choices. Everything always tends to be red and/or blue =/
I'm down to sport a pink and purple swype.

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!

no thank you! thats why i couldnt get metamorph to work i was trying to use the com.swype.inputmethod.apk and it kept failing...
thanks a ton for making it work properly!
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.
I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.
So is that how themeing works?

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

You could upload the file you extracted to the uot kitchen (google it, i cannot provide links).
The site allows to create a theme for your phone and to package it in a flashable .zip

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

Well, I took a snapshot of my homescreen. Uploaded it to a color extractor, and pulled the hex value through there. Used that hex value with UOT kitchen, and the colors still weren't the same after I flashed it...

One way to change the look of the soft-buttons, is to use adb or a file-manager to pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app and then edit png images to make them your own. And then push it back. That's what I did. Do a search on themeing android to find more in-depth tutorials.

I too am trying to do this.. I have the png images that I want to use but im not sure on how to replace them. When I go to the SystemUI.apk and the appropriate folder I cant seem to figure out how you simply replace the images you want.

Do you know how to use ninjamorph? If not send me a pm and I'll give you my gmail, you can send me the images and I'll put them in a fishable zip for you when I get a chance. I will need to know which cm7 your using too.
Sent from adizzys tbolt
Another approach might be to do what I did-- freeze the status bar and use Button Savior (or SoftKeys or Virtual Home Bar).

Everything that needs to be edited is in drawable-mdpi folder the files to replace start with 'ic' the easiest way to do it is using 7-zip, name your replacement image the same as the image you want to replace and then drag and drop your images into the apk into the drawable-mdpi folder. And then your good to go.

how to get this????????????????
I was able to get this done with ease.
Copied the systemui file, moved it to my computer, renamed ZIP, extracted to a folder. Opened up the files i wanted edited in Photoshop. I made them Transparent PNGs so they would work with any theme that changes the graphic of the status bar.
saved files, zipped up folder. used RootExplorer to Back up systemui. It caused a Foreclose loop. Rebooted, with no status bar. Back into RE, copied the modified systemui, set permissions, and rebooted.

I know that the softkeys can be changed to display words instead of the icons. I have found some images that have them as such but can't seem to get to work when using the custom framework maker. Am I missing something or does anyone have text image files that will work.

won't that create a 7zip file? that was the only problem i had with the themer, everything worked to remove the ticker history and weather. no fc's..yet.
Well the softkeys have to be alighned. Open existing PNGs in paint or whatever and alighn new ones and save. Then run themer.

thank you, checked the sizeds and they were different. now stuck at the decomling stage in themer.
Your making it way more difficult than it should be lol.
Look for older soft keys posts in our theme section.
There are easier ways in there. No decompile needed for softkey.

It will most probably be in framework-res.apk in /system/framework/
I'm not sure about ICS, but in my ancient version it's in framework-res.apk
/res/drawable-mdpi/default-wallpaper.png
You may have it in different screen resolutions.
Are you talking about the homescreen background?
You could always just do it the 'old fashioned' way..
Open paint (or similar)
Create a canvas the size of your phone resolution, paint all black. Save as a file and add to your phone. Change background using the menus and pick your black file.
Would probably take less time than pulling, inserting, and pushing framework-res. And you'd have the file on your sd card to re-apply should you do any updates (you'd need to modify framework-res again, unless the rom update didn't require changes and you could flash the old framework-res)

Oh! Then what you need is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk,
but the part you want is in /res/values/styles.xml
That has all the default theme, "Theme".
The theme for settings inherits off that, maybe "Theme.Dialog"
All of that references specific style elements and colors in /res/values/colors.xml

Decompile framework-res.apk using apktool then open the decompiled folder.
In res/drawable, most of the background XMLs are stored. Search for one that holds the background details. However, it won't be easy. I suggest u ask a recognized themer to help u, or use the UOT kitchen
Ok I've found the png file. It's in res/drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png
An older version of the rom I'm using had an all black image, so I'll use that png file to replace the current one.
Now do I have to simply change the image to the all black one or is out more complicated than that?
