[Q] Is it possible to add the Theme manager from CM7 to a stock r800x?

From what I've attempted, the CM7 roms are a bit unstable, or missing key features for me (BT, Wifi, or other things) anyways, I've got root on the 2.3.3 stock rom and would like to add just the theme manager to my device, is this possible?

it is possible but alot of framework editing is needed.
When I had x8 someone named dioxiah ported the theme engine to Froyo so it is possible I would say just alot needs to be edited.

Porting the T-Mobile theme engine to a diffrent version of android is a million miles away from porting it to an OEM version of android. For starters every manufacturer mods the framework in there own way, they move files around and even remove them and add files to there own framework (semcGenericUxpRes.apk) in sonys case.

However the R800X comes without the semc frameworks and customizations. It has a very basic bone stock android build. Hence why none of the themes for the other phones work on it.
It would be nice to have the theme engine working on the R800X, it is the only thing I really miss from CM7.

I believe the t mobile theme engine is open source might have more luck that way.

I don't think it'll be that easy. You'll need the source for both the theme engine and the R800X 2.3.3 update to get it compiled and working.
All I really want is an ICS theme, however none of the metamorphs theme the full system, and I am to lazy to do the theming manually myself.

Were you able to confirm whether or not this is compatible with r800x?

I hardly login but I had to today to say thanks to you. Great job man. Only thing I don't like much is the statusbar even though it goes well with the theme (I bet other people love it).
You should carry on making some more. <3

I'm running gin2jb theme which looks very similar so I'll give this theme a miss.
However, had to post to say, Fantazia-1st Taste, like your style.

Hi there, I don't know if it's just me, but I can't see any download links at all. :/

thanks so much this is what im lookig for, I just need one thing more please
in the screen shots I can see a witget with clock and wheater that one isn t in the theme???? could you please do it??? or could you please tell me how you do it

Sorry for the stupid and newbie questions:
-Does this support italian language, doesn't it?
- When i flash the file via cmw, do i lose all apps and data?
Thanks!

This actually looks nice, will try when I have some free time

It looks cool , but now i can barely see the 5th row in the app drawer , i'm using DiXperia 2 Rom .
but otherwise great theme , might try extracting some themed apps in it and see how it goes

[Q] [Xperia J] How to change apk in rom stock?

Hello, Well I am new to modifying roms and I have a big doubt.
Now I'm using the stock rom JB .31 on my xperia J, however I want to change what is the notification area to put clear, but I'm not sure modify the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk, fearing rom being that stock, this has a brick.
I would also like to modify other apps to set background transparent, like Gmail, Youtube, etc. ..
If someone could advise me on this, I would greatly appreciate.

Notification area is is SysteUI.apk and for Gmail and YouTube I don't know. Search for BlackOut team they have modified some aps.

[REQ] SystemUI for Xperia E

Hi, everyone! I don't know if I am doing this right but here it goes...
I have a Xperia E, and I am so, but so done of that green battery that is useless and even don't tell me the percentage of remaining battery!
I flashed to ICS and modded the SystemUI, it was an awesome mod, with transparency and battery's percentage.
Why I changed again to JB? Because of better compatibility with apps (more recent) and a sudden hope that Sony will launch a new update.
So recently I had an idea, but my knowledge about apks is very low and I don't know how to program Java and XML languages.
I installed an app, GravityBox, that do the job, but it occupy RAM and CPU time.
If there is someone interested on this and want to do, teach or help, please tell because it will benefit everyone and maybe people will understand how Android works and maybe it will work like an introduction to modding.
First of all is the percentage, if possible I wanted to look like the screenshot.

I'm interested 2 if someone can teach or guide,refer.

there's no risk anyways...since your just editing the apk's ....(worst that could happen is 'no system ui ')
if you were tweaking kernels and that sort of stuff it would be risky...
OK good luck!

Begining SystemUI
So I started doing the battery icons, more like the screenshots, but now I have a doubt, if someone knows this please reply.
When I installed GravityBox the percentage does not change size, I mean the font size, and for this the icons should be bigger that the actual 21x18 pixels.
Now I am at the 36% icon, possibly I can do all icons today and compile to .apk again.
I'll do the tests to not endanger other equipments.

SystemUI testing
I have good and bad news.
The good is it worked once but with fails, don't ask me why because I don't know, I just followed the TUT.
The bad is that I got this "New Android Interface".

Well since I can't use ClockworkMod properly because I can't unlock the damn bootloader, I have an odexed ROM, but when I had ICS it wasn't deodexed and installed the mod simply by removing the .odex file, I think it would be the same procedure.
The SystemUI I modded is from my actual ROM, simply and for now I just made new SystemUI icons and changed the respective .xml files.
I don't know what I did wrong and why it only worked when I put the modded SystemUI on the system/app folder.

No! Don't do that! You'll just have to flash the thing again.
@Grimlock007 Just asking, since when do I have experience in SystemUI mods? Only time I did one was for my last phone, for which GravityBox didn't exist (*cough* Gingerbread *cough* 256 MB RAM *cough*).

New Idea
I got an idea, when I had ICS it was also odexed and I could mod.
So the steps for me were:
1 - Copy the original SystemUI into a folder (backup)
2 - Copy modded SystemUI to the app folder
3 - Reboot
4 - Delete odex file
5 - Reboot
6 - Done
I was thinking in a person who has deodexed SystemUI and if this person transfer to me.
I think it would work, basically I think it's the same process, even for modding.

Hi everyone, again!
Finally I found something interesting with gravitybox.
The screenshot without the status bar is like the expanded desktop from gravitybox.
I'll take a look again on my systemui configurations and soon will dispose to everyone to use, see and modify freely and at own risk even if it is incomplete by my side. I want this to be a community project for xperia e and by xperia e users.
I still have two questions...
How do I make not expanded desktop?
Why nobody sent me an Deodexed SystemUI?...
