I want to learn more about how themes work. With my old HTC I applied themes through CWM, baked using the kitchen a little... but I want to know a little about what files get modified.
So I figured for a personal challenge I would try manually modifying the wan and wifi images for my skyrocket's ics install (simplelite to be exact). Can someone point me to where the relevant files are located, if they're in regular files or a zip or apk?
I started theming when the NookColor was released and put together a document with links to walk-throughs and some basic commands. It's nothing major, but it will get you started.

Hi,
Can someone point me the rigth direction to replace boot animation & batter indicator. I really like the Humble boot animations with the green droid and green particle circling also for the battery I like the Humble percent % indicater.
Thanks
I replied over at Rootz, but I'll repost it here too.
The simple way is to use http://uot.dakra.lt/ to built a CWM compatible file. You'll need three files out of your ROM of choice (framework-res.apk, twframework.apk, and SystemUI.apk). You can unpack those from your ROM and upload them. There are a ton of different battery indicators and boot animations available there, and you can customize everything about every battery they offer.

Well something took but exactly like i wanted cant get the boot animation going though err
I am in the process of modding my custom ROM. I am terrible with graphics and stuff and would like to know if some one would kindly make me some extras for my rom such as bootanimation, downanimation, wallpaper, icons etc.
The rom is called JDR0iD.....
Any help or contribution would be much appreciated.
There a some thread about boot animation to download...

So boot animation are gif animation of about 30 to 60 frame with a file to tell how to manage frame loop... and zipped.
So you can use one as template and replace frame by yours of same properties like W pixel and H pixel, dpi etc...
Depending of if you want a unique custom boot animation or if you want to use images or gif already maden... If not there some free pc app like gif creator to make your own animation...
already use a web-based app to make a boot-animation esaly with rolling text and effect that was about 5 yars ago so don'T know if it still exist..

cm10: how do you change the weather icons on the lockscreen???
I'm sure it's possible and I've asked a couple of other times and nobody steps forward with a helping hand. *sigh*
Anyone?
Possibly in framework-res or systemUI

What are you trying to change? Go-to settings, lock screen.
He wants the weather icons to look different I think

Thank you BC but I have tried that (twice). I'll try it a third time to be sure. The first two times I thought maybe the installer wasn't that up to date, but maybe it was a bad download. -I'll see what happens and update this post when I find out..
Edit: Holy shiznasty!, third time really is a charm. Crazy. The first two times I did a fresh download and was convinced the installer didn't like my phone or it was out of date with some recent cm10 change. But I just downloaded it again and the installer finally launched!
Soaking in the glory of nice new lockscreen icons! !!!

Yea it does freeze with certain recoveries. There's an excerpt about that in boobahs op
I deleted my lock screen effects all by accident when trying to replace the original talk with the modified enable all effects apk. I can't find a valid download for the modified apk that enables all the effects. Could some kind soul in XDA please help me out? I would much appreciate it.
Download a stock Rom and unzip it and pull the apk

Thnks brother for sharing this beautiful theme
Hey, the theme is great, but it has changed my default font and now I cannot revert to the original font,which I prefer. What can I do? I've tried deleting the theme and installing others, also rebooting, but I am stuck with the new font.
Can I install another theme that could bring back the original font or another similar one?

When I click on customize, I can only edit the screen lock, the wallpapers and the icons... No sign of the fonts...

And it worked. But thanks for your time and help, I really appreciate it. Cheers!
As a die hard stock android fanatic with a newly bought honor 7x, I must say, stock android can go to hell this is just gorgeous.
