Hey all,
Please ping me or otherwise correct me if I'm mistaken, but I've searched for a very long time for the answer to my question :
I need help theming tweaks.apk, specifically the images shown in the sliders. I'm a n00b when it comes to theming, but I'm also not afraid of possible bricks and the like. If someone has any info, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
BUMP anyone??
if you're trying to theme the sliders and thngs on the lockscreen then you don't have to theme the Tweaks.apk you have to look in the framework-res.apk as that is where all the lockscreen pics are in

Thank you so much! Could you possibly tell me the exact location in the unpacked .apk that those files reside?

for tweaks it was a good question but for themes there's a lot of guides and sources u can check for that on google man so try searching a bit too. eh!
but I'll answer it, to check what a theme changes just open up the file of the theme u flashed and check to see what files were changed and you'll know where to check.

I took no part in the making of this theme!! It is the handy work of 928Droid!!
I love the features of 2.2, but I not really fond of the stock look so I did some searching and found a pretty nice theme. It was originally made for the Droid but with very minor tweaks will work on the Nexus.
Download MetaMorph version Here in the first post.
Use the MetaMorph version and don't apply the services sub-theme and it should work perfectly.
Grab a services.jar from another Nexus theme and push it to system/framework so you will have the white clock and notifications.
Looks cool! Very sleek.
A port of the Black Glass theme he did would be much appreciated!
I wanted to install it but I didnt think it would work on my nexus.
i cant figure out which theme that is grrrrr
Bump'd it. Links up. I MM'd this on top of Kang-O-Rama froyo. Worked fine. FC loop when it got to "phone". If this happens to you, just reboot, go back to MM and start where it left off...skipping "services"

How to change the location of the file on which theme is applied.
For instance, how to change the path from /system/app to /data/app?

Ok im getting pretty good at editing frameworks and finally got a working theme for bionix!!! I think it looks pretty good, it gives Bionix Frost a cooler look!!! but let me know what you guys think. The pics will be posted in a minute.
Stuff Ive Themed So Far:
Nuke Green Status Bar
Themed Drop Down Menu w/New Icons,Transparent Background and Custom Galaxy Tab!!
Download and Slider Bars are Themed
Pop Up Menus Glow
Usb icons Are Changed
Lockscreen Themed
Like everybody else says im not responsible for bricks!! I have had this theme all day testing with no problems but this is just version 1 ill be adding more to the theme as i go. Also note i had a force close of titanium backup right after pushing the files not sure why just rebooted and never had a problem again and yes titanium back still works perfect i checked.
Just unzip and push both files to system/framework then reboot.
Heres the pics enjoy
Looks good. Look in res/layout/status_bar_expanded.XML to find the lines for the white background on your notification pulldown. ;-)

you have to decompile framework-res.apk in order to convert the xml's from binary to text, then recompile once done.
the drop down menu runs from twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. i don't know which changes it so i always cook the status bars the same in both files. i think if u try again u should get in done in uot kitchen.

Yeah i always cook both files the same way i just think theres something diffrent about the bionix frameworks? would stock kd1 frameworks work on bionix? Im probably just going to edit the xml and be done with it. Thanks for the freedback.

Ok krylon i decompiled it with apk by putting the framework-res.apk in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder then hitting decompile then it decompiled it to the projects folder then i changed the status_bar_expanded but how do i compile it back?? apk ask me for a project number and the only one that shows up is the original apk??? Also i added a pic below let me know if i changed the right thing. I circled the color code that changed it to black #0000 it was originally #FF000 wich i think is white right?? thanks for helping this noob out

unzip and copy both frameworks files to your sd card then using super manger or root explorer copy and paste to system/framework then reboot.

At the bottom of this post you will find a download link to a zip containing all the themes that the sidekick came with.
Some people may be on a custom ROM like Smooth Maximus and dont have the themes, or just removed them and want them back.
This is just so no one has to go through the trouble of downloading a stock ROM the searching through all the system apps to find the themes themselves . So i've decided to package em together for ya.
This is not flashable so you have to unzip them and use a root file manager (root explorer, super manager ect.) and push them to System/app. You Need to be rooted or it wont push the apps.

this is great ill push them through with the ginger clone!

Anyone figure out how to customize these themes? (especially the colors schemes)
I can easily change the wallpaper with Android wallpaper options, but the color schemes can be difficult to read with some color combos (like black text on dark green background).
Thanks for posting these!
I'm excited to download it once they're uploaded. My phone is so lost without the themes.
Hey i pulled these directly from ayoteddy's stock deodexed rom. All you have to do is push them to your system apps directory and restart your phone. Tested on my phone. Also sorry i had computer problems so had to upload them to my 4shared on my phone. http://www.4shared.com/zip/7Hu9zeYZ/sidekick_4g_themes.html

As for customizing im not sure but i think you can use apk tools to decompile edit and recompile the apk just make sure you have the sidekicks framework installed into apk tools also you may need to sign it im not sure i havent tried it yet

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.
