This is my first theme. Its a blue black theme for liquid sense stock rom of the .7 sprint update. Now that I finally figured out how to do this. I'll be doing more. Any input or suggestions anyone wants to give will be appreciated.
If your running LiquidSense deoxed version just flash over. Any other rom wipe first.
If you like the wallpaper used, download zedge from the market and search "black day".Credit goes to LiquidSolstice for making a nice stock rom, Gommorah for the notification drop background image and the low battery notification. Credit goes to papa smurf for a majority of the images and the dialer. Also the slide down lock screen doesn't look right so I replaced it with a clear rotary lock screen located at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670034. Hope everyone likes it.

That is one bad @$$ sense theme. It really tempts me to go back to 2.1 but aosp as got me hooked. I may just have to nandroid and try this bad boy out for a little while. Awesome job man. I really can't wait for a sense based 2.2 to be finish now.
This is a theme or a rom with the theme applied?
It is too big for be a theme...
will be nice if you could make a theme.
Looks good man

Well it's my attempt at a theme. What I did was take the rom zip and worked from there. I just edited and colorized the images. I didn't compile any codes are anything so I assume it would be a theme. I don't know if I could delete the apk's except for the themed ones or if I'd have to make a new cert and manifest which I don't know how to do yet. If anyone has any ideas on how to make it smaller Let me know.

which apk do you edited? or which files?
could be possible to push all those files manually?
I push the framework-res.apk to my NFXhero yesterday and it works great. I like the android in the notification...
If your just pushing . You might wanna push the htc resources apk also. It will theme the rosie and the dialer/contacts. I themed the market too but after you open it once it doesn't stick anymore. I'm still trying to figure that out.
I like this. I've been on the fence to switch back to 2.1 sense and this theme is just the kick in the butt I needed to do it. Sweet stuff.
By the way, since you incorporated jschisurf's rotary lock screen, do you think it's safe to use his other mods? I used to use them all the time back when fresh roms were the shizz on the hero since that's what he made them for, and i used them on nfx roms and never had a problem, so is it safe to assume they would work on this one too?

Since there designed for 2.1 they should. I used the metamorph to remove the directional arrows in the lock screen.... worked perfect.

Also the liquid sense rom is based of nfx so I'd just nand and then try em.

Hi!, yesterday finally I was able to flash you themed rom. During the process, I found some errors due to the fact that you dont re-sign the zip. I used the file in here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682972) to resign the zip. Now you can re-sign all your future work. It looks really nice!!!
When it boot for first time I find problems with the lock screen that not appears. After several reboots the problem persist, so I had to flash it my self. After that everything works great. The only problem left is that when my phone wakeup by a call the drop down bar to answer the call does not appear. Any Idea how to resolve this?
Which files did you edit to make the theme?
Dam guess no go on my request lol I would ask again but with this theme being so popular it looks like u will b to busy lol have fun

LOOKS SICK! My suggestion is to maybe not make it so dark and make an orange one! that would be cool!!!
Hello I was wondering if anyone could take the attached dock and put a button for web infront of messages. I tried for hours but could not get the scale and transparency correct, if anyone could help me out I would be really appreciative. Thanks a lot for looking!
Here is a custom dock for you.
Not sure if it's something like this you are requesting.
You can place your custom browser icon or use
Lp's icons in the middle.
Thanks so much for the reply and the effort put forth but I'm really just looking for an edited version of the dock I attached, I'd hate you to think I'm not appreciative, I am, its just not what I'm looking for

I just redone, not to much of a hassle. Couldn't upload the PSD though cause it was just a bit to big for an attachment.

I've been trying to figure out how to add Andy the Android to the semi-transparent notification window but I just can't seem to get it right. I've seen this on some ROMs before and it adds a really nice touch. I'm unfamiliar with adb but know my way around a phone. Can anyone instruct me on how to do this? I'm using the shooter Rom from team nocturnal (nightly #2). I'll attach the framework.res apk and the png I'm trying to use.
I'd appreciate any help with this guys. Thanks!
EDIT: just got home and attached the framework-res.apk and the .png file

Oh no, I understand, but see, If you had the no how to change the stock colors then you wouldn't need to ask. See everything is available via search. But instead you just posted and asked. Notice how no one else posted to help you? Its not easy to theme. There is a lot of research and sweat and blood.
Since you were trying to take the easy way to begin with, I figured I'd give it to you super easy...Install GO SMS. Its easy. You like easy. Win.

Tweaked, you can't help those who are too lazy to help themselves. Sorry man, sometimes these things are a lost cause.
Allow me to help you help yourself while always helping everyone here at XDA. Search for APKtool and/or APKmanager. No one is going to explain any further how to theme since there are more then enough threads/sites/information out there already. Eventually you'll either learn it or just live with the colors..I would always say turn to GO SMS but I can see you have taken a distaste for doing things the easy way. Well here's the hard way my friend. Enjoy

You first need to decompile the apk. With apktool then inside the drawable hdpi folder is your images. Change them as you want. As far as changing the text , that can get difficult. Some of the RGB values might be In styles xml and colors xml. It's been a long time since I did it but I think some text values get pulled from com.HTC.resources. as well. Just play with it till you figure it out. It's the best way to learn. Once you get it how you want recompile ,sign and push to your phone to check it out.

I love go SMS. I can theme and I still prefer it. Plus you can install any theme, and the Iphone smilies that actually work when you send/Receive for Iphone.
To each their own tho. He wants what he wants.

Ok here is what you do. Get the android SDK, Java, JDE and JRE. Install all of them with admin rights. Then Get Apktool. Decompile the apk, then look through over 500 lines of XML coding and changing the color codes one by one, recompiling after each change and flashing to test until you find the changes you need.
If that confuses you then Use another sms app as advised. Go sms beats the stock hands down.

Is this what you are looking for [THEME] TWuniversal Simple Blue and Black (Updated 10.10.12).
Or these:
[Theme][ZipThemer]ICS AOSP Blue 0.02 All TouchWiz ROMs ICS/JB [9/10/2012]
Motomoto00 Blue Theme by Motomoto00, ☆☆☆☆☆[THEME][JB & ICS]ICS Blue Mod V4.1 Designed for Blue lovers
[THEME] Blue UI SGS3
Or the The Ultimate S3 Themeing Thread may be what your looking for, and if non of these are what your looking for, check out ROM Toolbox(I think you need to pro version for themeing various parts of your phone) it has a bunch of handy tools for themeing your phone.
Thank you very much. Im gonna try the top one first. The moto one has no link cause thats the one i was talking about in my thread lol.
Romtool box is great but i does not work at a on my gs3 when it comes to themes :-\. I have the pro verison and it does nothing. Idk why

If you really wanted true customization you could read up on TW customization and the decompile certain file and make your own images to suit any style you wanted.
This is true. Problem is is that im busy all the time and dont get much time to actually sit down and learn this kind of stuff.
PS
Everything i try that actually installs and i can boot up, i get a UI System stopped working and i have no status bar. Idk how fo fix that. Everything is themed like it shows but no status bar at all. Completely gone. Ugh this is frustrating lol
Also i have 2 "res" folders in my systemui.apk file.... idk why. Odd. And i cant edit out one of them with rootexplore or nothing cause its a apk ofcourse... I have tried this ninja app thing on the market and it is supposed to edit them but it wont see both res folders so something is up... and not making sense. Ill just nandroid backup for now until someone has a idea lol. Remember, every theme does this to me.

I'd re-install the rom your using, wipe data (Backup data you don't want to loose first) and cache, make a backup of this stock rom. Then use adb to pull systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your phone to your computer. Next use apk tool or a similar tool to decompile the apk, then make the changes you want (Changing images, changing xml, etc.), after you have completed this recompile the apk (Or apks). Do not sign system apps, make sure permissions are correctly set, then push the apk back to your phone. Check out this guide for more info.
Seems like wayyy to much to do for a theme lol. I have a couple ideas im gonna try and see how it goes. Thanks for the imput! Really do appriciate it!
Update:
I can use KindaCrapMods to change my status bar by itself. I do like that. I have not tried it with a theme but i think some things my interact with theme + mod and not work right. Idk for sure. Just a guess
