scroll down to the do it yourself part and follow instructions.
edit...that one is for ICS but if it doesnt work there is probably a topic like that for GB.

Do not enter.

Mod is down: The new thread: HERE
Moderators, feel free to delete this post.

Good Start Man, Hope someone will advise very soon.
Thanks for your effort.:good:

Only de- and recompiling will not really lead to anything.
You have to solve each error here step by step. And as you can see there are many entries missing when recompiling against a framework from a different device and/or Android version.
This means that resolving the missing entries (like simply deleting them in each file) won't help because even if the recompile succeeds it will never run because of errors in the dependencies of the apk etc..

you should specify where you've changed

Tried almost everything but i cant get it working. Also tried VRTheme ZIP but it doesnt work too, it doesn't recognize the 9.png files and show the UI stretched... This is not my work, its for Not-i, Majdinj, Zai89 and other amazing themers for this amazing device (sorry if i forgot other users). I've seen it in S2 forums (Themes and Themed roms too) with the TW2013 UI for 4.1.2 so i dont think it will be very hard to an experienced themer. Thanks for the support. Good Luck to everyone!

You are compiling a a 4.2.2-based apk file with 4.1.2 installed framework, if you see in another thread they must have same version or it is themed apk file.

Can just use X-plore open apk as zip file n copy all the themes but not xml to another apk open as zip file.
not much changes wif just a framework.res.apk n options is alittle too small to fit it..
so no point to make a mod just framework.res.apk

@galaxynote2
The pictures in the attachment aren't useful!
If you want to change the png's, then take them from the original apk out!
Don't decompile it!
So, never use 9.png's from decompiled apk!
Try it again with the 9.png's from the original apk. Just copy them from the apk to your new one. Don't decompile it.
If you try to add some 9.png (from decompiled source), then they looks ugly with the vrtheme system...
(and can't build it with apktool too...)

@tkari4 thank you for the answer! I will try again now..

Not working, sorry never made something like that.
The solution for your problem:
Install the 4.2 framework-res.apk (command in the CMD window: apktool if c:/framework-res.apk)
Now decompile your 4.2 framework-res.apk
From the decompiled folders you can add the 9.png's to your 4.1 farmework-res.apk
Install the 4.1 framework-res.apk again
Build your apk and so must work...

@tkari4 some progress (attached files). That is my result putting the non-decompiled images in a vr-theme:
Popups are still bugged, 9.png resizing doesnt worked.
Action bars themes (Holo Light and Holo Dark) are now working!
Almost all buttons, checks and ticks are now converted and working.
What to do:
Fix the bugged popups
Convert Text fields (wich are 9.png too so its the same as the popups problems...)

Can you provide me an S4 framework? Im using the Touchwiz 2013 theme for 4.2.2 Galaxy S3 flasheable zip for converting. I cant find the S4 framework-res to download.

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

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.

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.
I have attached the video in first post

[Guide] Android Theming and Porting UI apps

[Guide] Porting UI Apks
This is a small tutorial showing about porting UI Apps (Theming)
Necessary tools
-Apktool
-Copy-Paste Knowledge
-Root Explorer
-A little respect
Its very easy no need of development skills...
So lets start
Porting SystemUI.apk
Of a rom to another..
At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them. Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace with ur original by root explorer..

At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them. Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace with ur original by root explorer..
