Only for appearance.. have you tried UOT Kitchen??
Here's the thread!!

ohk... see... the kitchen wil help you for few icons and bit of animations part.... but if want to theme the app icons and glow effects manually.... then you will have to edit the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk... open them take a good like at the files ... understand them.... n try your modding.. n c what u can make..
all the best for your rom.. :good::laugh:

Apologies if you thought I was having a dig at you I wasnt....
It's just that I think people should be encouraged to do these things for themselves so that they can learn and be independent enough to make these individual changes to their own phone.
The more we seem to make these small kitchen tweaks seem something difficult and that only people who really know what they are doing are able to perform the more we make the x10 seem like an iPhone that only apple can change...
I thought the main advantage of android over iphone was that they are able to be customised by individuals and UOT kitchen makes it very straightforward for people to do this...
And with nandroid backups it doesnt matter it it doesnt work...you can always restore....
So, keep up the good work, this does look like the start of what could be a very good full theme, but dont forget that it helps to let others make these twaeks on their own...

Fonts for WB xperia 4.03

Hello Everyone...
I am starting a new thread for fonts for WB xperia 4.03..
Here is the complete list of fonts.
I will be posting 4 in each post
Installation is simple
Go to xrecovery
mount system and data
install custom zip and reboot
enjoy
How do you go back to the android font?
Sent from my x10 Platinum
nice themes by UOT ...
This replaces a lot more than just font. Your whole theme will change(framework-res & SystemUI.apk).
Is it just stock? Did you add the mobile network toggle in the power menu like in your screenshot?
Here some more......
HERE SOME FONTS.... ONLY FLASH WITH XRCVRY...
REMEMBER....
I CANT GARNET THIS ALL FONTS ARE WORKING....
BUT...
MOST OF THEM ARE WORKING....
SPECIALLY LIKE.... SonySketch,AlienLines,Sansation ETC.....
IF NOT WORKING PLZ DONT ANGRY WITH ME...

This thread is unbelievable, why can't people just goto the uot kitchen and do this themselves.
If you try you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how much more you can actually theme your phone to exactly how you want it!

No it does not change framework-res and systemUI, when you change fonts and/or boot animation you don't even have to upload those files to the kitchen, it does not change them! Try watching the you tube help video on their site

Download one of these packs and you'll see that they are included (the size is a dead giveaway, then the apps are there if you extract)
They don't need to be, but they are...
Don't need youtube vids to see that anyway, I theme manually

Then the OP has included them when they are not needed.
Anyone can goto the kitchen and change fonts without having to upload those files.
If these files DO change them (And i do believe you, I havent downloaded them yet) then the OP needs to change the attachments to font files that dont change them.
Thanks for pointing out that these do change framework, People need to know that before they flash them, I was just pointing out that changing fonts (Or bootanimation) shouldnt change framework or systemUI if it is done properly

thanks, these look alot better then stock

I haven't added the power menu toggle. I have only modified fonts on the online kitchen,,, I thought it wud be helpful to have it in a thread rather than going to the online kitchen everytime and others can also access them..

Then you need to do like 10assaye said and watch the videos on the UOT site. You don't have to upload anything to change fonts. You can make a zip with only the fonts. The zips you made are mostly unnecessary. They are 5mb when they could be 200kb. Plus they will change the theme back to stock for custom theme users. And then there's a 7mb one that either contains an insanely large font or is a more modified framework...
I understand what you are trying to do and it is appreciated but you need to understand what you are actually doing.
thanks, these look very nice ...
i just use the font changer app from the market (root needed)and get all my fonts from http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts.html
tons of fonts
im using bank gothic md at the moment (the Black Ops font)

The UOT will give you a flashable zip so you don't need to adb anything into place if you have CWM 3/4 or similar.
Also, there shouldn't be any rejigging necessary if you simply choose to upload your own system files, instead of using the ROM list.
BTW, my Tab is running Jupiter and it changed the majority of my icons perfectly well. Which ones aren't changing for you guys?
Love the UOT. Thanks Dakra!

theme porter just copies mismatching png from one file to another(totally useless)

Use apk manager

Bro makin your own theme would be diffucult unless your good and fast doing it on one of every each icon,colors,shades,transparancy etc etc..Inside your Theme
In my own experience just like on the last release of POSEIDON Version 2 , Its compose of for 4 diff themes.. but only edit and port Is all I did.and it takes alot of time.(and made the rom mess up) that why got to pull out and make a quick fix..
Usefull application
7zip is the most easy way
apk. manager is useful for optimizing
most of all u need if u want to make your own,,U must have a lot of time and skills..
Thankfull that we have good theme porter thats makin our life easy..
like..kkrraazzyy, vivek, ron, bala, and other great contributors to our phone..

Oh yes, I get errors every time "decompile-compile" is involved. The only way I managed to change window animations was to replace the original anim-folder from framework-res.apk with the tweaked one Surprisingly this method didn't work with ICS-transition effect.
