Hey guys. Just a quick question. I've successfully edited the images inside a few .apk files to match my theme and then installed them on my phone without any problems.
However, now I'm trying to edit some .apk files that are apps with widgets. Specifically, Advanced Task Manager and N1 Torch. I wanted to edit the widgets' image files so that the "focused" and "pressed" highlights of these apps' respective widgets are no longer Android's hideous orange color. But when I make changes to the widgets and install my modded .apk files, the widgets are broken. They won't load. Any advice? Thanks.

Never mind. Got it all settled. Fixed my widgets. Thanks.
This thread is devoted to ADW launcher themes.
Make a post and I'll update this post.
Themes:
britoso - Transparent icon bubbles
rori~ - Smoked (smoked launcher box, trans icons, smoked folders ..more)[/URL]
crachel - N1 Drawer icon(Nexus X)
vladnosferatu- iTheme [http://i2theme.webs.com/] (iPhone icons for most popular apps.)
To use a theme:
1) Install the apk.
2) apply the theme. settings->adw settings->theme preferences
To create your own:
Here is a nice guide: https://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/wiki/ADWThemeGuide
All you need is the Eclipse IDE. (get the smallest one, i.e "Java developers" version). After you install/unzip Eclipse, install the ADT plugin.
Get the template project. (click download source)
import the project into your eclipse workspace
read the README file in the project
Customize the project name, version, theme image, wallpaper, and any other image or xml
build a signed .apk in eclipse and post here.
Note: To encourage theme merging and kanging, please post your project source code or upload it to an online repository like google code.
It's nice mate; thanks for sharing

try switching between themes
If I load the source template to eclipse...I cannot change alpha value of the bubbles, right?
(Cause decompiling it then with apk tool, I can get the smali files to change...but I would like to do that in eclipse)
Is there a way?

britoso...hope you can find some time to change some orange to cyan - would pretty much complete your theme for me
[ADW Theme] N1 Drawer icon
Here's one I did that:
Changes Wallpaper to the basic blue pictured below
Changes the drawer icon to the Nexus One icon
On a side note, it would be nice if there was a way to easily combine two themes.
[ADW Theme] Transparent icon bubbles
Simple theme that only sets the icon bubble background transparent.
Will try and change some orange to cyan if I get the time.
Had to replace the wallpaper so I threw in a blue/gradient one. Change it if you dont like it.
Download:
[1.0]
Edit: Works with VTL Launcher

I have not been able to install any themes that are not from the market to my droid x. If anyone could pm me the information that would be great.
Thanks crachel, "•Changes the drawer icon to the Nexus One icon"
I have been looking all over for this Nexus X.
Anyone know where I can find the other Nexus X for ADW Launcher drawer icon, the boot animation type X???

Did you right click your project and select "Refactor->Rename"? AnderWeb has covered most problems in the comments section here
got as far as extracting it but dont know where to start with signing it int he keystore wizard lol
Everytime I try to make a theme using the template all I get are errors. I use the same file names and everything, just changed the icons with different ones. End up with more than 200 errors. What am I doing wrong? The readme isn't very in depth.

Hey guys,
I loathe swiping through my gallery (lousy with hundreds of pages of album/ebook cover art) to get to my Wallpaper album, then resizing the crop as best I can, and repeating the same process next month when I want to try another wall.
What I'd like to do is just add a bunch of wallpapers to the drawable-xlarge-nodpi folder in my Launcher2.apk so they'll show up in the stock wallpaper picker.
I've selected a bunch of 1920x1408 walls and made "blahblah_small" 180x180 versions (I'd like thumbnails to show up in the picker). I tried using Zipthemer to create a CWM-installable updated Launcher2 to include these changes, but just can't seem to figure it out.
I've also tried renaming to .zip, unzipping, adding the walls, rezipping, renaming to .apk and pushing that, but Android won't install the .apk. Do I need to delete the META-INF signatures folder and figure out some way to sign the .apk? Can I sign an apk w/o the SDK?
I know Roach has that extra wallpaper in Prime (nigh version of the Asus default wall), so basically, how did he do that?
Also, the default wallpapers are in drawable-large-nodpi, the Asus default (tree scene) is in drawable-xlarge-nodpi. The xlarge-nodpi folder has no META-INF stuff, so I figured if I threw the wallpapers in there, the picker would just show them.
Can anyone save me the misery and modify this two apk files so that when I install them they have these icon? I've watched every tutorial and there's always something missing or wrong. Zplayer ( you should try it) -- zcircle-.png icon and 'Music" name, QuickPic -- gallery icon and "Gallery" name. I need to get this of my mind. Thanks

Thank you for adding it
Nice app! But why it is 95MB big? This is the biggest app size i have ever seen.
BTW: Tried to use it but the "smart cover view" doesn't fit. I can see my smart cover picture, but after installing it isn’t visible at the design app.
Very good indeed!! Are we going to have any update? I was wondering if we could change the contacts and calls style. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your hardwork! But I can't install it! Everything seems fine, and when it started to install, the installer just disappeared! Nothing happens!

because all possible graphics are coming with it
btw.:
Tried to use it on a old Samsung N7000. No problem! It is possible to use it on an other device, but you have to create folder "HWThemes" on internal sd to be able to save your work. But than you are of curse not able to test your themes.
And: The app doesn’t work if you are not connected to internet! (necessary for advertising only!)
I've installed the Theme Editor, and I'd like to know where I can find different sets of icons for the navigation panel (Back/Home etc.). Do I need to download a whole set of themes to find nav-panel icons to import?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I've been playing with the theme editor for some time and it works quite fine on my P10. The only thing is that some icons do not resize wel if I make them smaller. E.g. the Gmail and Camera icons' height is too big compared to their width. Any solution would be appreciated.
Installed and played a bit this evening and now I am stuck in a bit of a rainbow mess unable to install or customise a theme from the Huawei theme app.
Plz help

This app is a great time saver.
One thing Idon’t get yet. What is the definiton of a icon pack? Is it a zip file with a different extention?
How do you make / get an icon pack?
I ask this because when I try to change app icons there is a dropdown list to choose an icon pack. But the dropdown list is empty.
Inside a theme file you have a zip file called “icons” with the extention removed.
If the theme file is also considered to be the icon pack I would expect all downloaded themes in the dropdown list.
