Finally! The long wait has come to an end! Here is the RainbowMods theme tutorial!
Now this Tutorial is for a very basic type of theme. By basic I mean that what you can theme are the back button, home, recentapps, menu, search, and battery, and wifi icons, and also the button press color.
In the following days i will be making a tutorial on advanced themes. Where you will be able to change clock color, expanded settings bar items, such as: sound and brightness icons and bar color and as well and settings icon, and everything else in the notifications bar
REQUIREMENTS:
ZipThemer
ICS or JellyBean Rom .zip
Root Explorer or similar
Icons that you want to use
And a little Patience
INSTRUCTIONS:
YOU CAN DO ALL THIS ON YOUR KINDLE! NO NEED TO USE YOUR COMPUTER.
1.Download my custom_statusbar.zip file and extract it to a spot on your sdcard.
2.Go to the extracted. then CustomStatusBar/systemUI/res.
3.This is where all the drawable (images) are located. The ones we are editing in this tut. are located in drawable-sw600dp-mdpi.
4.Now go to system appsand extract your systemUI apk. go to that extracted. and go to res/drawable-sw600dp-mdpi. This i just so you know what your editing.
5. Download and extract atticus182's softkeys (or you can use any of your own!) and find one you want to use. Rename it and get rid of the (#) after it. and copy and past the image in the customstatusbar's drawable-sw600-mdpi fold. Say if you are using one that says ic_sybar_back (24) you would get rid of (24) and copy the image TWICE! rename one of them to ic_sybar_back_land
the land part is for landscape mode. so do this same thing for any icons you would like to change. just remember to rename them EXACTLY how they are in your original systemUI.apk. This is the same for any battery or wifi mod too.
6. after you are done with the pictures you are swapping out., zip the ENTIRE CustomStatusBar folder.
7. Go to zipthemer. If you have used zipthemer before with your rom then SKIP this Step. GO to zipthemer. Press the menu button and then hit update edify. HIt browse and find the rom that you are currently using. MIne would be jandycane_otter-v1.5.1_0xD34D.zip.and press configure. It will say success.
8. In zip themer press +Theme. Then find the zipped customstatusbar file. and click build it! is will ask you about making a undo file and click always.
When its finished it will show a buildl log.
9. Reboot into recovery. TWRP or CWM. when in recovery hit install. and find the customstatusbar.zip. Flash it. and wipe delvikcache. reboot and tada!!
10. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413582 and thank atticus182 for letting me use his sofkey icons!
THANKS:
atticus182 for his icons
stericson for getting me into theming!
and be sure to thank me!

this looks SICK! cant wait to try it!!!
a quick question, does the weather still animate with these?
Yes you still get the weather animation..
Awesome. Followed your guide and it looks great! Now I'm interested in changing the icons on my homescreen clock and weather widget. Do you have any insight on doing that? Thanks!
Hey there! I am going to share with u a MOD created by lithium76 where he has modified MIUI Launcher so the user now can edit the number of rows and colums in homescreen. It was impossible but now it much easier. I didn't test so u can test it and report
How to install
1) Download the appropriate APK and place it in the root of your SD card
2) Rename the file to Launcher2.apk
3) Using either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with root privileges) copy the file to /system/app
4) Change the file permissions to -rw-r--r--
5) At this point your Launcher probably closed so press home to bring it back up. At this point it should be the new modified version. If not, just reboot your device.
6) Go to launcher settings and adjust the # of columns and rows you would like. hint: start out with small values and increase them as you see fit
7) Once you change the # of columns and rows press Reset Launcher to get the launcher to use the new settings.
8) Enjoy getting a little more room for your favorite apps and widgets.

Since i'm not updating these on a regular basis anymore, I thought i'd give you the files so you can just update the framework yourself.
Just open the newest framework-res.apk with 7zip, drag & drop the res folder from whatever color you want over to 7zip and click yes to copying the files over, close 7zip and you're done.
Just the colored files, not the framework
ALL COLORS.ZIP Zip version
ALL COLORS.RAR <-- All of them in one rar file
Green
Green - Biohazard
Purple
Purple - Decepticon
Blue
Blue - Deadmau5
Red
Red - Deadmau5
Pink

First off you need to get the framework-res.apk file from your tablet to your PC. Use root explorer or some kind of file explorer that has root access. The file is located in /system/framework either copy it to your sdcard or send it to your cloud service such as box or google drive. Open it up on your PC with 7zip in another window go to the color you want, you should see a res folder, just drag and click the res folder over to the framework-res.apk you have open with 7zip, then merge when it asks you to. Now put the new framework-res.apk on your sdcard and copy it into the /system/framework folder make sure you have r/w on whichever file explore you are using, it'll ask you to replace the file, do so then reboot the system. If you did it correctly it should be changed.

Okay thank you.
Change your default lockring to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We need to modify the framework-res.apk, so we need a file explorer with root access, like Solid Explorer Beta2
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS!
Step 1 Download the lockring that you like.
There are two options for each style: HDPI or XHDPI.
Download from here:
Ingress style 1: HDPI or XHDPI.
Ingress style 2: HDPI or XHDPI.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2 Copy your framework-res.apk from /system/framework to SD card and from SD card to the computer. If you have your current ROM on the computer as a zip file, copy the framework-res.apk from there, it`s faster.
Step 3 Open the framework-res.apk with 7Zip.
Navigate to res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. You should find a file named "ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png". This is for ICS and JB.
Step 4 Go to the archive that you downloaded and unzip it, open the folder and Drag and Drop the .png file from here to the res\drawable-hdpi\ or res\drawable-xhdpi\. Click yes to confirm.
Step 5 Close the 7Zip archive and copy your modified framework-res.apk to the SD card. Keep the original framework-res.apk for backup.
Step 6 On the phone open Solid Explorer Beta2 and navigate to the modified framework-res.apk, long press it, select Copy. Navigate to /system and Paste it. Long press it again and select Properties. Under Attributes tab select Change. Set permissions to 644 -rw-r--r-- Click OK.
Long press the framework-res.apk again and select Cut. Now navigate to /system/framework and select Paste and overwrite the framework-res.apk from here.
Step 7 Your phone should reboot now, if it doesn't, reboot manually.
You should now have the new lockring installed.
Feel free to alter the design or make you own.
Here are the dimensions in pixels for HDPI: 162x162 and XHPDI: 216x216. The image must be a .png file.

Ever wondered how to make your Lock Screen Transparent without installing any 3rd party apps or using Xposed Modules, etc...
Buckle Up guys!! This tutorial will guide you to make your Lock Screen Transparent in 5 easy steps
REQUIREMENTS​1. framework-res.apk of your respective device.
2. APK Multi Tool or any other application to decompile/compile apk [for sure shot]
If you don't have APK tool then open the framework-res.apk with winrar [not sure if it will work after this or not]
3. Photoshop
4. Presence of mind not needed at all
Alright Lets play
Step1. Decompile your framework-res.apk (Not going to teach you this part)
If you don't have an APK Tool to do the above work then open the framework-resp.apk with winrar/winzip .
Step2. Go to \res\drawable-hdpi\ and search for your default lock screen wallpaper [In my case I found it with the name of keyguard_default_wallpaper.jpg ]
NOTE:You will find your default Lockscreen image in this folder only. So look sharply for it, name of the image may differ.
Step3. Once you locate your default Lockscreen image,Open it with photoshop. And make it transparent by deleting the image, and save it as .png
For example I found my default lockscreen image by the name keyguard_default_wallpaper.jpg ,but after I edited it with photoshop making it transparent,I have saved the image by the name keyguard_default_wallpaper.png
We save it as .png because only .png supports transparency.
Note: Do not change the size of the image.
Bingo!! You successfully made your LockScreen Transparent.
Step4. Compile your framework-res.apk.
Step5. Replace it with your device's framework-res.apk via any file manager like ESfileexplorer or put it into a flashable zip and flash it.
For creating Flashable zip easily follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...shable-zip-t3196490/post62724670#post62724670
For your help i have attached a zip having transparent image in it at the end of this tutorial
