Is there a possibility to edit the default backgrounds (blue, red, black, green Waves). I think its cool that it appears in stuff like the Settings Menu, the SMS App, the Phone and contacts app, the browser and the email app. So I like it better than havin all backgrounds black, but id rather like to use my own wallpaper, maybe a little darker, so that you can read everything.
Does anyone have a clue, which files i need to edit?

good luck trying to edit the apks
i've tried and they wont install
decompiled them edited the png and they wont run anymore
i used a debug program and it turns out it's a certificate error.
at first i thought it was a signature problem but the apks were re-signed by me so i dont know whats wrong
if you figure out how to edit them and get them to re-install let me know....

Great, I found this file and it has the backgrounds of the menus. I extracted it with Winrar and now what I have to do to place the backgrounds I want?
I guess edit it, name it like the old one and put it back in.. I'll try out myself.

Ok, wont work that way. Need APK Edit (needs APK tool)

Okay... ApkEdit lets me edit the apk, but when i try to push it to my device, im stuck. I can push other apps though, maybe i cant install system apks. Too bad APKEdit cant simply save the file, that i can install it myself. Anyone got an idea what to do???
Ok, managed to push it to the play. No changes :-(( too much work for nothing.

"Defaultthemes.apk" is a system app installer. I mean, you have this installer, yes, but you have already installed the old one. So if you only change the apk file it maybe there wont be any direct change unless you uninstall it and reinstall it.
Not sure, but it's the only thing I can supose.
Let's see if we can change the boring backrounds from SE.
Ok, I edited succesfully the .apk file, but as others says, when you go to install it the phone asks if you want to overwrite the files, you click yes and then it says that the file wasn't installed.
Any way to solve this?
I want the background to be pure black.

You have to decompile each relevant APK and edit it. The Defaulthemes.apk doesn't affect any app.

I edited the apk directly with Winrar, without extracting it. But the problem is when you try to install it, first it asks if you want to overwrite the existing data but then it says the app wasn't installed.

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.

Open Metamorph, Extract the theme. Then apply. Restart phone- Yippee-ki-yay

I use "apk manager" for decompiling and compiling the framework-res.apk.

I thought u already have this covered because it sounded like you have no problem with other XML except this.
But if u have not heard of the two files/folder I have hightlighted chances are you don't have them in your newly compiled apk which will cause bootloop.
After compiling ur apk you should see that meta-inf folder is missing. U need to copy that from the original API, along with manifest.XML to the new apk.

Anybody happen to know how to change the icon of the Dark Market? I have extracted the apk and placed my icon in replace of all the shopping carts pngs, replaced the edited apk with the one in /system/app. Tried to installed, but it failed and said "Application Not Installed". However when exit root explorer and open Dark Market the icon has not changed but the icon within the app has changed to my icon. Anybody know what I am doing wrong? Not signed correctly or what? Maybe there is an easier way to edit the apk?
UPDATED/Solved:To do... Extract the Vending.apk from /system/app place on sdcard by copying it not moving it. Open Vending.apk with 7zip: If you want all the internal icons changed as well replace "ic_menu_bag_market.png", "ic_menu_market_focused.png", "ic_menu_market_normal.png", and "ic_menu_market_pressed.png" within the "drawable-hdpi" folder with you icon of choice. Be sure to follow the dimensions of the image you are replacing. In this case they are all: 72x72. For changing the external icon that appears in your app drawer and on your home screen replace "ic_launcher_marketplace.png", and "ic_launcher_marketplace_apps.png" within the "mipmap-hdpi" folder. Make backup of Vending.apk within /system/app in case you messed something up. After replacing all those files push the apk back into /system/app overwriting the original Vending.apk (be sure you backed it up before doing this), exit root explorer or whatever app you happen to be using, and the app should of updated to the icons you changed them to.

Yo,
Old thread, but I just wanted to add my observations on this.
I did the exact same thing (as you edit on the OP) yesterday -even before I found your thread- and it did cause one or two glitches.
What I've noticed is that after modifying the markert icons (and 2 notification bar ones) of the new Market version I've found here, the Market would now display extra tabs which I couldn't see before.
I could see the "Top Paid apps", "Top Grossing" and 1 or 2 more similar tabs regarding paid apps. The thing is that I'm currently in China and those usually don't show up since they are somehow blocked here. Once I'd browse through those new tabs and scrolled down, they just became white pages. I've also tried updating an app and that worked fine and the modded notification icons also showed up properly. But I didn't like to get 3 or 4 blank pages like that and I've finally reverted to the original Market.
So yes, it works but modding Vending.apk without an official signature might modify its behavior/options so just be warned... I didn't check the logcats but seeing all that, makes me think that fooling around with the apk might create invisible problems that I don't really want to get just for a simple appearance change or two...

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.

I tried that on a theme update.zip for my rom, it wouldn't let me edit the contents of the zip for some reason.

Unfortunately, no. It's been this way since Samsung started offering themes, and so far no solution has been found

On a ported ROM for note 3 I used to uninstall the custom icons of the theme using the titanium backup Pro and used unicon to apply custom icons from the play store.
See how u can work with this info for your own convenience.
There is a way but you must know how to use apktool and have knowledge of what goes where. If unpack a theme store theme you will be able to say swap the lockscreen apk for another themes.
Edge of insanity
You can in fact disable parts of themes if you have root. For example if you want to keep stock keyboard theme and everything else be black, you need to find the apk for that portion of the theme and delete it after the complete them has been installed and reboot. Freezing them won't work.
You can use this tutorial to find the part of the theme that you do not want to apply. Hope this helps.

You can replace the icons for any app inside a theme without root. I mean the ones which are already in such theme. You don't even need a PC!
I have just moved to the s7 edge and I am temporarily unrooted and it took me something like 5 minutes to figure how to do it lol!
Apk extractor plus apk editor (the second one is a paid app) and the trick is done. Just extract the theme you need and replace the icons inside with your favorite ones. Just remember that png files must be renamed to qmg (just renamed, not converted). Recompile and install. Apply another theme and then apply the one you have just modded, that's all!
Weird nobody has shared a guide yet. If any of you appreciates it, I can share a detailed how to.
Apk editor is not compulsory, but it is one of the few paid apps I bought.

Sorry
Easy : if you want for example not the icons of the theme : use ''Debloater'' search it on xda, kill ''Theme ... apicon'' and on your phone you can now see it in app, uninstall, reapply theme and that's all ^^
Hey bro have you managed to make the tutorial? As the previous poster said... Many would like to do the same. For example I'm looking for a way to rip icon pack from touchwiz theme. I don't know how.
The theme is called Grey_abstraction from guy called Alex pie. I like the theme but I love the icons but he does not have it in the theme store. Would you know how to do that?
I'm NOT rooted
