[Q] Will Themes from the International One X work for us?

Shouldn't the themes for the International One X work for us as well? Especially since there's a new way of theming that just replaces the graphical stuff and not the actual apk. They say it should work on most devices with same sense versions. We have the same sense version, same resolution same buttons etc. I've tried a few but the developers have a model check and they abort. The one that i found over there that did not do a model check worked fine. Could someone with experience with themes chime in please? thanks!
EDIT. I'm only talking about themes With the villain theming system. It does not replace the apks, only mods them.

As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.
Features..
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices

What "new theming method" are you talking about?
The only type of themeing I've seen is replacing system files, like SystemUI.apk and stuff.
It that's the case, then no it won't work.

I changed text to red that i thought pertained to this subject
I installed this theme without issues. Was made using villain theme system for the International one X
Quote from changelog of this theme
UPDATE 21 May: After a lot of tweaking and tinkering, have managed to make the theme work with the VillainTheme system. This means that it should now work with any ROM, and shouldn't affect any of the ROM dev's individual tweaks.
The theme modifies the following system apks:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
fusion.apk

Sense 4 is sense 4 as far as I know. I'm sure you can remove the model check form the update script. link one you'd like to install and I'll check it out

That's definitely not a good idea. Most Sense themes contain the SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. So if the rom your using on your AT&T One X has any mods done to any of those apk's you will loose them and if the rom that the theme was built for has any mods done to those apk's you will more than likely have issues. If there is a specific theme you like, get me the link and I will try to port it over.

No you're right, not a noob. Tiff didn't realize I was talking about the villain theming system.. This system only replaces graphics, not the entire apk. Unfortunately she said she wasn't familiar ( hasn't used it) so that reply is a little misleading. I'll get you that theme I was talking about to try and change the model.

Ok I've found the model check lines in the aroma installer but I have no idea how to disable them.
It LOOKS like if you unzip the theme you can push the vrtheme folder to your sd card on your phone and then run the installtheme.sh from adb shell.

Wouldn't it be a little hard to install a theme while the rom is running? Just thinking it would be A mess changing graphics while active. Unless I misunderstood yooz.
Maybe I could swap the vrtheme folder in the theme that does work, doesn't check the model. That cream theme I posted earlier..mwhat a horrible name lol

if you look at updater-script you can change endeavor0 to evita.
Then it will pass the check. but I'm scared to try it myself

I'm now on SVA ROM not alliance ROM. I like his ROM but hate AVA theme. So I wanted to switch back to Stock look. That's why I asked those two files.
In SVA SystemUI is in /system/app/ . I just create a CWM file to copy these two files to relevant folders. But after flashing it I got a bootloop. Actually what I noticed is, Framework-res you provide and he provide are different. That's why I asked that question.
I'm actually not a ROM or MODs dev. So I might did some mistakes when flashing.
Actually I'm not 100% satisfied with current situation as well because even I got the stock look but now S Pen is not working ( S Pen is kind of getting stuck ). I don't know WHY

I think you could ask in his thread for stock theme as to theme his rom he might do change some files not only 1 or 2 of them
I do not use SVA rom but believe he has the option for choosing theme in the last release

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...)

I have a question it might be silly but I will ask
I am running cm 12.1 nighties and I like the dirty unicorns 12.1 theme (icons, app theme)...
Is there any way to extracted from system and install it to cm nighties?

It's most likely located in /system/app or /system/priv-app, you should be able to grab the apk and install on CM.

Because those are not the themes, but parts of the theme engine. Look in settings > themes for the theme's name you want and try to pinpoint the .apk by that.
