You can unzip the apks from this you want to theme. APKs are build same as zips do. So you can get your images.
Ask the dev before you're working and share it with us, please ;-)
Thanks, you wouldnt happen to know where the status bar and the pull down curtain images are located at would you?
Extract the framework-res.apk. Then look inside the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
I've been opening up cm roms and modifying them to the way I want them, replacing audio files, wallpapers, apps, icons, theme, etc etc for a few months now. I know how to include gapps into a rom successfully so I dont have to flash that separatly. My question if I wanted to remove the stock kernel from a nightly and replace it with say pershoots kernel how would I go about that? Thanks in advance
go to chef central download the nadroid kitchen, ther eyou can extract the boot.img and replace the kernel and pack it up again and build into your om, the kitchen is great, go try it man so easy that way
Thanks man
Or use Koush's AnyKernel update.zip template.
Is there anyway to get Gingerbread stock theme on Froyo?.
you can go to UOT Kitchen and select the GB icon mods for your Froyo framework-res.apk file.
Or you can pull the framework-res.apk file from GB, extract the drawable-hdpi folder out of it, and insert it into a framework-res.apk file that you pull from a froyo rom.
unfortunate UOT kitchen doesnt work. dont know y, the site doesnt work it seems. Any alternatives?
If youre on deodexed kc1 or kd1 you can flash the theme by airfluip1
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
UOT Kitchen states "you can now use kitchen with stock odexed roms (if you have .odex files in your rom - kitchen works for you too)". I'm running the stock OTA 2.3.6 ROM (odexed), rooted, with 3e Recovery on my SR. Trying to create a very simple battery icon and status bar mod using the Kitchen. Instructions say to upload your ROM's "framework-res.apk" and "systemUI.apk" files along with your theme changes... and Kitchen creates a cooked-up zip file you can flash. But have a few questions:
1) since it says it now supports odexed ROMs, do I also need to upload the "systemUI.odex" file along with "systemUI.apk" and "framework-res.apk files?
2) does the cooked up zip file contain "framework-res.apk", "systemUI.apk" and "systemUI.odex" files... or just the 2 apk files?
3) if only the apks, do I leave my original "systemUI.odex in /data/app folder... or move/delete it?
4) without CWM, can I extract the needed apks from the zip file created by the Kitchen and use Root Explorer to fix permissions and place files in their appropriate folders?
I posted these questions on the UOT Kitchen site, but they must be backed up as have not received any reply... hoping someone here on the SR Forum may have some experience with the UOT Kitchen and using odexed ROMs. Thx!
1. You need SystemUI.apk from /system/app, framework-res.apk from /system/framework, and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework
2.it will contain updates to framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemui.apk and might add to the system/media or any other area you elect to modify
3. dont touch the odex files. they will be needed as is.
4. maybe, maybe not. I always use CWM to install. Sorry.

Themes for other Roms will not work for this rom. The apks that the themes replace are different than ours. if you do attempt to flash a theme from another ROM youre phone will probably end up in a boot loop.
To theme
You will need to copy these apps from /system/app folder in phone or from downloaded rom:
Settings.apk
Phone.apk
Contacts.apk
SystemUI.apk
Framework-res.apk from /system/framework
Rename the app youre wanting to theme from .apk to .apk.zip
extract the res folder to a folder anywhere with 7zip(Leave this window open)
change the icons you want in each folder(Usually hdpi and xhdpi folders except for systemui)(make sure to keep same name and size of original icon)
select all icons in the folder you are working in and simply drag and drop icons to same folder in 7zip window replacing old icons
rename .apk.zip back to .apk
push to phone via adb or make update and flash with cwm
if you did the steps correctly you will have themed an app.
Be careful with the .9 images resizing or messing with them can cause them to not display correctly
I use gimp to mod icons.
Im working on a theme myself now. Only thing that gets me is Pantech and AT&T have added alot of icons that are masking the original icons for ICS that are in the apks as well. So there is alot of modding to do to make a full theme for this ROM.

Is it possible to integrate something like the Theme Chooser(available on CM10 and AOKP) on your rom?
so that there is a direct compatibility with other CM10 themes?

Im sure its possible. and yes it is possible to port the themes to our phone. Atleast some of them. You would have to rewrite some of the smali files in the .apk's and .jar files and make a few other changes that will make the apps run on our phone. Thats what Im trying to do now

The only thing i miss about your awesome Ice Flex Rom is the theme-ing capability
theme-ing and customizations are my reasons to choose android over windows Phone
there are just so many awesome flashable Themes available for CM10, its a shame that great phone like Flex can't be themed yet
