I have a few icons I downloaded (about 20) and I'm sick of changing them one by one after each ROM reflash ...
How do I make an IconChanger theme that I can import easily after reflash ?
Thanks !

Is it possible to theme the virtuous ROM without the need of a launcher??
It depends on what you want to do. Android is quite flexible, you can change the launcher like you said. On cyanogens rom he has a very new theme engine which allows you to change the look of the phone, but it is very new. Or the traditional way of flashing framework.zip among others to change the main pngs on the phone. Check out the theme section here, and for any other HDPI Device.
How can I flash the framework?
Just like a normal zip, make sure it is for the type of rom. A cm theme wont work on sense for example, also make sure the screen size is the same
could i extract whats my phone currently is and then edit it myself?
UPDATE: cyan-coloured percentage bar battery mod for for fla.sh's cyanbread theme - i prefer it to crysis's one, so i did it and share.
Just simple UOT Kitchen made percentage battery mod of Fla.sh's brilliant AOSP GB/CyanBread themes. works fine at mine (stock rooted and deodexed KPO), but KEEP ORIGINAL fla.sh's zip on SD in case of any trouble to reflash.all credit goes to him!

howto:
1) flash one of above fla.sh's themes first through CWM recovery on deodexed rom (mount /system, install zip from SD,reboot) (links above)
2) flash modified zip respectively (links below) the same way as previous one through CWM
3) enjoy great theme with battery readings
4) Thank fla.sh!
disclaimer: flashing it you declare knowing what u do, so it's ur personal responsibility if anything goes wrong!
screenshot pls of the battery percentage....is it rounded? or rectangular, etc...?
can't upload screenshot, removed screen capture app (along many others, hehe), but here's sample from darky's 10.2 using the same mod. looks pro with gb theme.
very nice modded theme...i suggest that the extended power menu be a colored one just like the stock rom,....coz this one is just like fla.sh x2 extended power menu...
pls make it close to stock....thanks..
is it compactable with any KPN or KPO base or only FLA.SH

sorry, as i mentioned it's just UOT Kitchen modded - anybody can do it in half our time alone, i just shared what others might find useful, it's not development or whatsoever, only simple mod.
and therefore i won't modify anything else, although possibly power menu icons are changeable at UOT Kitchen - i don't know.
actually big up to UOT Kitchen makers - good job guys.
it's just mod of fla.sh's AOSP, so whatever his AOSP theme is compatible with, this mod is as well. i use it on deodexed stock KPO, but in his post KPN is mentioned as well. don't know about others, sorry.
(the truth is even some theme wasn't compatible with given rom, u could always reflash it with other, compatible from cwm - just have it handy on SD, i can't see huge risk trying, but it's ur own choice and responsibility)
how to uninstall this theme?
no idea - depends what u had before. either by flashing some other theme/rom or reflashing rom?
Useful theme. Is nice to have precentage.

Thanks for this one!
So, I forgot to backup my system & framework apk's before I uploaded them into the kitchen and made a new theme. *I know, shame on me*.
Is there a default/stock for those or are they created based of individual phone information?
What i'm asking is, do I need to re-install the rom to get those back or can I just pull them from above said stock apk's?
Android: 2.3.5
Rom:Cm7(08012011)
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!!
Thanks-

i'm confused. are you saying you dont like your theme and want to go back to stock or you want you want to update to the next nightly but dont want to do the kitchen every time?
I'm not reaaal familiar with the kitchen stuff, I know more than enough to get myself in trouble (changing radio's, roms, etc) but haven't completely grasped the themes yet.
It SEEMS like a couple of things are not changing even if I create a completely new theme (The battery icon, the lockscreen buttons and something else I forget)
My thinking is, there's a generic theme(s) for the rom and when you create a get a new one, it updates certain aspects of it.
If I create a new theme in kitchen and only change the battery, wouldn't all of the other settings revert to the "default" theme?
On a completely different note-
What's the difference between ADW themes and Themechoose themes?

Ah. ok. so what ever you change in the kitchen it will change in the apk. it wont touch the rest of the apk. its kinda like an online apktool. it unpackages it changes the png's you want and then packages it up again using the resources from the apk you submitted. ADW themes are for the ADW launcher so it only themes the home screens. but Themechooser themes the whole phone, or as much as the developer of themechooser allowed it to do.
Great! Thanks
Hi There Guys,
I am trying to make a perfect ROM for Android with
Check ROM and WP7 Metro UI
I've noticed that there is a CM7 Theme for Metro UI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219691 - WP7 Theme
But i dont know too much on theme porting and making, as far i've studied i've manage to make a simple port of the theme.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkrom/files/Theme/All DK Versions/WP7_test.zip/download
It's a theme test for WP7 its very buggy and confusing, but the theme system its great don't need to compile anything just put the files and the System will flash them.
If any Themer want to help me porting this theme i will be very appreciated
There is another porting ideas too but haven't started those yet.

I would like it, but I don't have the knowledge to help u :/
You'll just have to open up the apps you want themed (settings.apk for settings icons, sysyemui.apk for status bar battery etc) with winrar and add and overwrite the corresponding images that you want replaced. To edit XML files for font size, color etc, you'll have to use apktool to decompile the apps first.

Thought I'd start a generic thread for UOT Themes as I did a couple for the stock 4.6.8 rom. These aren't great, but at least they're a change from the stock, so maybe others with talent can do some as well.
I've attached the Red and light blue themes I've created. If you want to use them as starters, just extract the settings.uot file and go to http://uot.dakra.lt/ and choose file upload, settings to import these settings. From there you can alter the boot screens and colors as you like. You'll need to make sure you set everything for MDPI and use the framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk from your phone (or the rom you use on your phone).
The two zip's I attached are for the 4.6.8 rom, so don't use them on apex or CM7/9. You can however import the settings and use your own framework-apk and systemui.apk to make a version that works with your rom.
Please share any new themes or changes to these themes you have... They can definitely be streamlined because some of the items don't apply to our phone so more people working on these would help us all. It would also be nice to see some full non-uot themes in this forum, but this at least is a start.
