To those who reeeaaalllllly want timescape on their phones both working and look good. This pack will work on all of the custom roms available. Just download the attachments from below to get a complete look of Xperia's interface onto your phone.
They really dont look good with a dpi of 180(CM7and other old roms). If they dont look good on your phone just change the dpi in build.prop file to 160.
Instructions
Change in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
to:
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
and just below that line add this following line:
ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia
Save. Download all the files from attachment . Extract timescape.zip and move the apps to its respective folders. Reboot and enjoy.
For those who are using scripts like int2ext or whatever, just move extracted files to their respective place in ur "whatever" rom zip file and reflash that particular rom without the need of clearing all those cache and memory stuff.
Enjoy.
P.S: Using that live wallpaper causes a lot of lag. If u want facebook running then replace the facebook plugin jar file with a new updated one.

which ROM are you using? Have you added those two lines? The APks cannot be installed. they have to be moved manually and change the permissions with the help of root explorer.

Can you post the edited file (Source)
because i have already edited the framework file so i cant replace it
i just pull framework-res.apk and extract it,
edit bool.xml in framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
and change value config_animateScreenLights to false

that's it bro

when extracting done, in your apk manager folder, you will find a folder named projects. in this projects folder you will find framework-res\res\values\bool.xml

Hi guys. I found amazing apk in Xperia Mini & Pro Development. New Settings style that should be work on all XPERIA 2011 GingerBread based ROM (both stock or modified one). I tried and it works. Here is the link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585974
Looks pretty cool, but the only problem I ran into is that com.android.settings force closes when opening brightness controlls
No force closes for me r800i Love it much better than stock .
Looks good but same FC issues on R800x

There is two methods:
1. Flash it in recovery.
2. Unpack .zip file and copy settings.apk from /app folder to system/app folder on ur phone
!ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT BACKUP (WHOLE ROM OR .APK)!
I prefer second method.
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v11 (1.21ghz)
I've used a rom on my old phone that had a lot of FC issues that were in the settings so I'm really patient with this, most of it works. It's anything that involves a slider actually. Volume, brightness, and also when I click "More" under network settings. But I always have triggers on my Launcher so I barely go on the settings menu. I'm using the R800x.
I modified iiandskater's Settings.apk to fix some icons that bothered me. I removed the duplicate location & security setting and replaced some ixons with Xperia S style ones.
This is not CWM flashable, if someone feels like making a flashable .zip please do Otherwise just adb push or replace with Root Explorer and set correct permissions.
The SemsSettings.apk is included to fix the alignment and icon to suite the overall style. Enjoy!
woow I like this! is there any way to add the button switch ics have?
Still force closes when I select "More" under wireless, just a heads up. Thank you though
Might be cause you're running a CDMA version of the phone :S This is the same Setting.apk as the one from the thread in the OP, just modified to look nicer.
I'll post my version in the original thread and point out that it still produces FC's on some devices (probably CDMA only).

Also I couldn't find how to replace defalut wallpapers in my stock ROM.

for that you have to put .so files in system / lib folder...btw putting apps like mx player is not a good idea.... as user can install them... it just make rom bulky...

To change default wallpaper you have to edit framework-res.apk, and replace defaultwallpaper.jpg
To change wallpapers in launcher you have to edit Launcher2.apk, and replace wallpaperXX.jpg and their thumbnails for your dpi
To add apps, put them in /system/app, and if it contains any lib in apk package (check it using 7zip or winrar), extract it and put inside /system/lib/

No, when you deodex the rom, it wrongly set rw-rw-rw permissions.
rather you should set all other files too rw-r-r

I hope someone can port this to android jelly bean 4.1.2 :angel:
I copied the file and when I was going to set the new permissions my phone rebooted so of course it's stuck at the boot animation... I'd just have to change permissions or rename the old services.jar (which I renamed to services.jar.old) but since it won't boot I can't access the files, not even by computer... what could I do?
EDIT: Fixed!
Can i replace services.jar with root explorer? (I'm on locked BL, so i don't have recovery)
Or i need to follow other steps?

Now Lets Start the Real Work
Extract the following Things From the other Rom
System/Media (Whole folder)
System/framework/framework-res.apk
System/app/Priv/SystemUI.apk
System/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FOR USERS EDITING IN MOBILE (Root Explorer)..........PC users go down
Now rename the follwing files (Both from your device and the other rom) [dont mix them up. place them in different folder] as
Code:
framework-res.apk
as
Code:
framework-res.zip
Code:
Settings.apk
as
Code:
Settings.zip
Code:
SystemUI.apk
as
Code:
SystemUI.zip
FOR PC USERS
JUST Select the apk and right click and select winzip or any other tool and press extract
From now on use have to use your brain, gut feel, your choices and stuff.
SO Extract the zips
Got to Res folders of each apk
For Example if you are working on Settings go to
Res folder in both your rom and the cm11
in your rom go to the the file which is related to your screen resolution
Eg.
For HDPI -(drawable-hdpi)
and same with cm11 and then start comparing the pictures the both folders and there might be nice pics in (drawble-XXHDPI) folder and that doesnt mean you can take all the pics from drawable-XXHDPI after choosing your stuff replace your images and rename if necessary ( if the images look exactly the same and with different name and rename to the name of picture in your name and replace the pic ) just go into the main folder of the file of your app which you extracted and zip of your rom
For Eg. Its Setting app
after you have edited the pics
Some Other Tips
There are few pictures in blue try to edit theme with gimp or Image Editor By Byte Experts
For chaning Default Wallpaper
Go to framework-res.apk
in that go to res
then drawable
and choose the Image you want and replace the image with same name
9 pngs can be replaced in the same way, but if you want to edit them follow this video- How to easily edit .9.png files
go back to res and then back again you will find all the folders like
assets
META-INF
res
resources.arsc
AndroidManifiest.xml
Select all the files present and zip them then Rename the zip again to " Setting.apk "
now you need to push the file back to your device
Just follow this Thread - How Install a App as System APP
For Setting and SystemUI and for framework
you need to paste them in ROOT/System/framework

Kitkat Easter egg for GB File which he gave in the thread
I will give the Apk's Look at the end of the thread
For Change in Android Number and name as what ever you want do this(Be very carefull) -
Go to to Build prop file in Rot/System/
Open the file with notepad or text editor and do the following things
Maybe somewhere around line 2 you will find
Code:
ro.build.id=ICS
change it to
Code:
ro.build.id=KITKAT
and somewhere aroung line 15 you will find
Code:
ro.build.version.release=4.03
or similar code
change it to
Code:
ro.build.version.release=4.4.2
save the file and rebbot to test it then place the build prop in system/ of your
flashable zip
now place all these apks in the flashable zip
IN
system/app
if there is no app folder make one and place them
Now similarly place only the frameworrk-res.apk, framework.jar files in
system/framework
Now take the Media folder which you extracted Before From CM 11 and place the folder in
system folder and go back and zip the file and its done
Now place it in your SD-Card and flash it With Custom Recovery -Eg. TWRP or......

Great guide. Just one point/tip if I may, I see it a lot that People suggest to rename an apk to zip, well in order to open a zip you obviously need to have a program capable of doing so, so just set apks to open with your preferred zip program which will cut out the unnecessary step of having to rename each apk you want to mod.

Hey have a look at my first post and for clock you can modify jbclock+ to make it look like kk and best launcher according to me is holo kk launcher and if your running ICS+ there are many apps that looks exactly like kk launcher which version of android are you running on?? And I really think if you change many of the images in the talks it will drastically change things please have patience to read the first post
And yeah it looks like I din't work too much for this thread

@kaushikb.1996, I saw your thread of Micromax A87, in that you've themed the dialer too, right? If I attach my Phone.apk and Contacts.apk? Can you do it for me? As far I've read the OP, there's nothing bout' that. Maybe you can help?
Thank You.

No I actually din't theme it, I used exdailer and dark theme its a light and good looking too
Great thread. Helped me a lot since I'm working on a Android L themed ROM for the galaxy express using Pacrom as base. I've managed to get the settings.apk theme changed like the header and color and stuff. Trying to change the icon colors in settings and theme the dialer and framework res. Whenever I theme the dialer and framework res it the dialer doesn't show up after replacing via system/priv-app permissions -rw-r-r-. And the framework res cause a boot loop. All I did was change some pngs and .9 images and edited the XML's dimensions and styles XML to match up then made any necessary changes to the drawables due to kitkats new theming process. Shoot me a PM thanks In advance.

Well it lots like you have normally edited .9.pngs like any other picture so there is a force close as framework runs throughout the system there is probably a boot loop for now take the apks from youe rom and flash them from recovery and after that while editing .9.pngs you first decompile the apk
Then select the picture leaving that black dots and the border and save and recompile.
