I just recently got ATT for this phone. I like ATT's signal icons but haven't figured out a way to change them in CM to look that way.
Is it possible? Tried searching here and Google with little results. Also tried some build prop info I found but it didn't work.
Thanks

Don't think that's possible, mate. AT&T's (and every other carrier's) custom icons aren't implemented in the One's SystemUI.apk , because OnePlus isn't affiliated with any carrier.
You could pull the icons from a att ROM and just overwrite the ones in your ROMs systemui. Picture files are not compiled so you can just drop em in and go, just use winrar or 7zip to open them and see which files you need to replace.

Won't work unfortunately. The SystemUI.apk is odexed, so theming is impossible.
Ah, I've been running paranoid android, didn't think about cm11 being odexed.

I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.
So is that how themeing works?

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

At the bottom of this post you will find a download link to a zip containing all the themes that the sidekick came with.
Some people may be on a custom ROM like Smooth Maximus and dont have the themes, or just removed them and want them back.
This is just so no one has to go through the trouble of downloading a stock ROM the searching through all the system apps to find the themes themselves . So i've decided to package em together for ya.
This is not flashable so you have to unzip them and use a root file manager (root explorer, super manager ect.) and push them to System/app. You Need to be rooted or it wont push the apps.

You can try pulling the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from octane and replacing them in the appropriate spots in your current ROM as long as the rom you are on is deodexed. But it may,not work. Or, you can replace the .png files using 7zip and then replace those files with your new themed ones (less chance of fc or bootloop). But the second method is a bit more detailed.

Yes. Use the .dex file for the alpha level and just change the statusbar_background.png to the desired transparency level and thats it . Just remember to add @color/transparent to the date background, otherwise it will show when you expand the statusbar and add the proper change from #ff000000 to @drawable/statusbar_background.

CM10. I can't for the life of me figure out how to theme these blue parts in the Contacts.apk without the Phone app FCing. Everytime I edit anything in the colors.xml for the Contacts.apk the Phone app FC's. I've edited other app xml's just fine with no fc's. I've managed to successfully change the blue parts in this picture to red by editing this line in colors.xml <color name="people_app_theme_color">#ff33b5e5</color> but whenever I do that, like I said, the Phone app FC's and I have to change it back. I'm trying to change the #ff33b5e5 which is blue to #ffcc0000 which is red. It's the only part of my theme I haven't been able to fix. Can someone with the know-how PLEASE help me. I'm so frustrated lol. I've been trying to figure this out for 5 days now.
You had to make the edit to the source file before the apk is built. This has been an issue for a long time.

I don't understand tho. This is what I did:

-edited the colors.xml in Contacts > res > values
-Saved the color.xml with the new changes
-Recompiled Contacts.apk with apktool
Now the Phone app fc's. How come there is a problem with this but no problems with any of the other apks I edit?
You can't edit ICS/jb contacts that way anymore. You have to do it in the source file and then build the apk. I also faced this issue and had to build the apk from scratch to make it work.

Btw would you know why I would get a fc when I try to theme the Swiftkey 3 keyboard? I themed it and then put it on my sdcard and tried to install it but it said "app not installed." That happened when I tried to theme the Facebook app but I put it in System/app and it worked but when I put Swiftkey 3 in System/app it just fc's. I know its not because of the 9.png's because I themed them correctly. I'm wondering if its maybe because its a paid app that I purchased? Do you think I'll have that problem with all the apps that aren't in System/app such as Chrome, Play Store, etc.?
