THeme porter is useless dude! Someone from teh community tired it! I also searched for that thing. Ultimately, I ended up creating my own theme without the porter!
ANd porter only ports themes you cant make themes,na?
in simple way use 7zip i think this will help you

7zip...or apk manager to decompile the .apk !
theme porter just copies mismatching png from one file to another(totally useless)
use 7 zip for porting a theme it is the best way for porting

Bro makin your own theme would be diffucult unless your good and fast doing it on one of every each icon,colors,shades,transparancy etc etc..Inside your Theme
In my own experience just like on the last release of POSEIDON Version 2 , Its compose of for 4 diff themes.. but only edit and port Is all I did.and it takes alot of time.(and made the rom mess up) that why got to pull out and make a quick fix..
Usefull application
7zip is the most easy way
apk. manager is useful for optimizing
most of all u need if u want to make your own,,U must have a lot of time and skills..
Thankfull that we have good theme porter thats makin our life easy..
like..kkrraazzyy, vivek, ron, bala, and other great contributors to our phone..

Apologies if you thought I was having a dig at you I wasnt....
It's just that I think people should be encouraged to do these things for themselves so that they can learn and be independent enough to make these individual changes to their own phone.
The more we seem to make these small kitchen tweaks seem something difficult and that only people who really know what they are doing are able to perform the more we make the x10 seem like an iPhone that only apple can change...
I thought the main advantage of android over iphone was that they are able to be customised by individuals and UOT kitchen makes it very straightforward for people to do this...
And with nandroid backups it doesnt matter it it doesnt work...you can always restore....
So, keep up the good work, this does look like the start of what could be a very good full theme, but dont forget that it helps to let others make these twaeks on their own...

Everybody has got different framework-res(theme/icons and others) so i decided to upload files which will work on every version of stock 2.3.3 rom u have downloaded.
Instructions:
In my rar file u have got folders with lockscreen files inside.U will ned ur framework-res to get lockscreen working.Pull ur framework-res.apk using rootexplorer(or from rom)system>framework>framework-res.apk
Easiest way to do this:
Open ur framework-res with winrar/7zip and go into res/drawable hdpi.Then copy my files(choose ur lockscreen)into drawable hdpi.Make a flashable zip and flash via xrecovery.Lockscreen will be changed.
In zip is folder framework(zip/system/framework).Put ur edited framework-res in folder and u are ready to flash.
If this help u feel free to press THANKS.

Cool, I was thinking of something like this too.. It would be great if someone could make a simple theme kitchen that could add the files to the apk's and put it all in an xrec zip. Then we could just make "theme packs" that could be installed on any rom. And using different pieces (lockscreen,status bar,etc..)from different themes would be a lot easier for noobs (and 'advanced users' too!).
Cant say I follow u 100% but this sounds promising so when I get a chance im gonna look in to this and maybe give it a shot. Thanks for ur efforts on this.

Thanks for this, have used 6 of your icon sets to create 6 framework-res.apk on my sd card. Can now copy, paste and reboot to have any one I like.
I made all mine using root explorer to extract my framework-res.apk and inserted your images. Then zipped and renamed from .zip to .apk and then copied back into system/framework. Happy days

Oh yes, I get errors every time "decompile-compile" is involved. The only way I managed to change window animations was to replace the original anim-folder from framework-res.apk with the tweaked one Surprisingly this method didn't work with ICS-transition effect.
