[Q] Help on custom theme? - General Questions and Answers

So I'm pretty new to root so any help would be appreciated. I am running carbon rom on my nexus 4. I've recently been playing around with themes and mods and not sure if this is where I would ask this question or not. I installed a custom theme (root* not a launcher) but I don't like the lock screen. Tried zip themer but nothing sticks. After reading more about it, from what I understand, and correct me if I am wrong, is the reason it won't work is because a theme redirect the request for that image (default lock screen image) to its image. And the mods I am using through zip themer change the default images not the themes images. So my question is, how do I modify the themes lock screen image to what I want?

Update Crt off and ICS Animation for JQ8 Stock Roms with root + New Theme

Added Blue and Black theme
Honeycomb Blue and black theme, combination from all themes available for our TAB, i used parts from AF's JQ8 release,overcome 7 and from Nautious theme, (i like to thank the guys for releasing those roms/themes so i can use them) i just put the stuff together to my taste and maybe you like it too, If you do, download file blue.theme, unpack the zip and push the apk's with adb or replace with root explorer.
The screenshot , you only see the blue taskbar icons but it is all over the menus and so on, it is a combination of blue´,black and misty white.
============================================================================================================================================
Green default stock theme - Attached you will find the files needed to have CRT screen off animation and ICS Animation on JQ8 firmwares, i also included a mod in systemui.apk for the replacement of the system switch icons nothing fancy but better then the default ugly ones, see screenshot, in the mediaprovider.apk i changed the sdcard icons what you see when it is scanning the cards for media. sorry dont have pic of that one. I also changed the settings page into black instead of white.
The boot animation file is from overcome 2.0 serie it is the blue android bootanimation one if you have it before. Thats all.
You will need to replace the APK's with root explorer or push it with adb, the boot animation you can flash with cwm, i use JQ8 with Overcome Kernel 4.0.
The ics animation will be at its best if you use a other launcher then the default one, with the default one you dont have the animations on switching between application or close the application and going back to the previous window. I am running this all lag free and it is a very nice addon for the great release of JQ8
O BTW, i am in noway responsible for any damage what so ever when you use this.
Cheers

Hello people,
I've been trying to make some variations of the Status bar for my ROM that people can flash in the recovery.
I've made two so far: A simple black and whiteish one and a red and bluish one.
Feel free to try them out. I'll try to add more over time.
If there are any other things you might want let me know.
Also if you wanna try something head on over to the UOT Kitchen. POst your reults here if you feel like sharing.
Thanks

Splash Screens
Heres a splash screen to flash in fastboot. Remember to rename PC36IMG.
Sense MOD (Sense4-ish theme)
Okay so I've made the Sense options from the installer available as a flashable zip.
If you want the Sense without having to d/l the installer zip then get this.
Place on sd-card.
Boot into recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
Flash the sense 4 zip file
Wipe cache/dalvik-cache again
Enjoy your new look sense

having issues trying to theme. NEED ADVICE!

im running beans rom and i know it uses the aroma installer. usually with my previous phones i could mod the systemUI or framework.res and create a flashable zip and flash through recovery. it seems with this particular rom you cannot do that or you will get system crashes and or a bootloop. the only way ive found to flash a theme i create is to use the vrtheme folder method where it mods the apk instead of replacing it in a whole. "hope that makes sense?"
what im trying to do is change the lockscreen text color to ics blue which ive done on several other phones. since the xml im editing for the colors is in the layout folder i think i need to flash the entire framework.res and i cannot do that. i tried to just flash the layout folder via the vrtheme method and i was sent into a bootloop.
can i get any advice from a themer on what im doing wrong? usually the mods i do work with no issues and im pulling my hair out about this.

[Q] Themes doesn't show up! What am I doing wrong?!

The themes that I install from the playstore or even from the storage doesn't show up on the theme engine except the default system theme and there are no other options I find to make myself successful in changing the theme on my cm11. I've attached a screenshot so you can have a look at it. What am i doing wrong ? I don't even see any font option and stuffs inside the theme option. Please do help!
