Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454802 and you will see it is pretty simple. You just swap your pics(pngs) inside defaultthemes.apk. Look inside res/drawable-hdpi to see pics. Best bet is to rename the defaultthemes.apk to zip file extension(defaultthemes.zip) when editing on computer and unzip it to see pics easier. Then swap out whatever you want but keep the names of pngs the same & then rezip it and change the end back to apk. The rest is explained in the link I posted. lol.
@sonicfreak360.lol! Yes noobs really must watch that!

Sorry man, I didn't think it could brick or bootloop phone if you were editing your own defaultthemes.apk and you changed the permissions before you drop it into the system/app folder. And usually only replacing the framework-res.apk will ever bootloop phone when I'm messing with files in system/app folder. Do you remember when your phone started bricking. What did you do(if u remember) & what model of Xperia play are you on? R800i or R800x? GSM or CDMA?

SORRY ! It needs root! I thought we had to use CWM recovery to install this , very sorry! You need Root Explorer to set the permissions and move them to correct directorys

unfortunetely since Tekken isnt using the UOT KItchen we have to install it manually , big pain in the arse because everytime i tried with the Samsung theme i kept messing it up... maybe i can try someday to make a flashable zip but honestly , expect a bootloop xD

It's quite easy if you have it rooted... get root explorer or any other root file browser and in my screenshots the one with "Conversations.apk" are the correct permissions to make this work without bootloop.
RW,R,R as most people put it.....
all apps except the framework.apk go into the
system/apps folder.
the framework-res.apk must be RW,R,R or your phone will bootloop, this file goes under
system/framework.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MOVING THE FILES TO /system first then setting permissions then moving them to there respective locations.
Also the media folder can be set on your SD card but the boot animation will have to be moved and replaced in
system/media
it also needs to be RW,R,R.
hopes this clears things up for those.
P.S. bear in mind what version this is for! , i also have no intentions of making this for any other rom/stock rom version sorry.
Thank you

that one doesn't look nearly as well done imo.
A single icon isn't supposed to come out of the corner, etc...
This one is perfect.
What is the difference between corners and fast corners?
which one is better?
here's the quote
"What's Fast Corners?
I've made the fade animation when tapping a corner instant so that the corner expanding animation plays more smoothly. Basically this just reduces the number of simultaneous animations going on resulting in less work. Even on my HDPI Samsung Galaxy S this made a slight difference in performance. The tweak is non-trivial and the change is extremely minor but for users with LDPI and MDPI devices this should improve that animation."
I actually tried both, and I recommend fast corners. Seems to look much smoother, though both are awesome

@djkekko89 : Maybe try renaming it to Home.apk and then move to system/app, fix permissions, & reboot. Or uninstall your current Home(have another launcher installed so you can still use your phone) and then try installing normally. Not sure if either will work but it's worth a try...
Remember to back up your current Home.apk as these methods will replace it.

So, bad news. SOMEBODY, spilled something on my laptop and now it won't even boot up. So it may be a while. But what you can do is take a existing xrecovery zip, unzip it with root explorer delete everything except "META-INF" folder, create a new folder named "system", enter that folder and create another folder called "app" and then copy the launcher in there, zip it up using root explorer and you have a xrecovery zip

[MOD] Add CRT animation to your ROM

1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
Alternately you can try flashing this template from CWM. CWM-flash-template.zip
Source: [HOW TO] CRT-Effect only
Directory \res\values doesn't exist either in stock (odexed) or infected (dedexed) version of application (framework-res.apk).
EDIT: SOLVED !
yes its available....
did u trie to decompile through apk manager...?

"give me that file" ?
Tutorial works with every FW but not every framework file works with every FW.
Don't you understand that it is individual process, you have to decompile and re-compile YOUR OWN framework-res.apk (regardless of what FW you run on), with mine thousands times modified framework-res.apk you most possibly won't be able to boot the system.

i have one question to d33raj
i am using apktool 5
i copy framework-res.apk form my stock fw from root ex.
i decompile framework-res.apk and edit battery icons and some battery related xml files
when EDITING completed i compaile it again
but the ain thing is new apk file is nearly 5 mb and old apk file 8mb
i use new apk file but its not working for me (booting problem)
so where is the problem ?
plz help me
I really wish I could help you. But I'm not into developing. I did this using the tutorial that I specified as source. Almost all the Samsung Android devices work the same way. You could post your queries in pages of Samsung devices which has plenty of Dev support. Galaxy S and Galaxy S II are the most recommended places.

The best thing to do is push it to /system from adb and recovery then run fix perms. The zip you will download will probably not flash properly.

Not sure I follow. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to this stuff. However, in the zip file of the rom I d/led and flashed a while back, I found the SystemUI.apk. also, i see where it has the base launcher as ADW Launcher blah blah blah. Can I remove that, and put my favorite launcher in, and then flash it, and it wouldhave that launcher as it's base?
I need to get into a live chat with one of you smart guys, to get you to teach me some of this knowledge so I'm not in here asking so much stupid stuff.

follow the directions on the site. Then instead of transfering the zip to your sdcard, unzip it and pull the systemui.apk out. Transfer that to your sdcard and push it back to your phone.

For Rooted, no custom recovery
1) Download and unzip Note4_Batman Place apks on SD
2) Use Root Explorer to find corresponding apks in app/priv-app
3) RENAME system app to .bak. Example: SecMms_Cherry.apk.bak
4) DO NOTHING WITH THE .odex file
5) Copy themed apks to proper folder
6) Reboot
If you want to change back, you can delete themed apk and rename .bak file back to .apk

Would it be to hard to help me or give me hints in how to modify the dial pad color... for example i would like to change dial to like a neon blue and add a different background. But to be honest i just start it to theme my note 4 and as a beginner im kind of lost in many things but learning and loving it. One thing i can seem to find a way is how to replace or modify .qmg or how would i start ... if its possible to change looks . I notice your theme for dial and wonder how how did he did it..
Thanks hope you dont mind me asking and if you need my email to answer better let me know...

First of all, google qmg to png converter. Find the one that is an an apk. It will convert and put files right on your phone. Only replace the pngs you want to modify so you don't make the apk too big. As far as the dialer background, you need to write the background in in your styles.xml. it has gotten a little harder on 4.4.4. Look for DeviceDefault and stay there.

Put the icons in whatever folder they came out of.. Probable drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi and delete the qmg or astc file with the same name. You have to search for the colors. They are not all in one place.
