The search will provide you with awnsers.
You need to be on a deodexed rom and themes don't delete tw

I actaually did search but no answers to my specific question. plus i dont think i said anything about deleting the TW. lol

There is a themed version of GTG TouchWiz (androDENA Gass) but it's only compatible with Froyo. For any other theming you need to be deodexed.

lol , im such a newb ,Im researching deodexed and well its not in laymens terms but i think i understand , so basically with say tw i cant load any themes unless samsung makes it or sprint

There is a bunch of custom roms floating around that are deodexed. Your gonna have to root and install cwm to flash any theme

thanks for the advice and info, im not into changing roms(im not a tinkerer lol) ill just stick with my stock rom and plain ol TW

No deodexed rom needed just use the tutorial in my signature, If u flash the stock rom via clockwork after rooting, you can have stock rom with any theme on it along with mobile ap.

[REQ] ASOP Lockscreen and Keypad

Any chance of the ASOP Lock Screen (possibly the black one from the viper rom) for my stock froyo??
also the black keypad with the white #s from his rom aswell.
any chance of a flashable zip for these?
would it be possible to apply these to the stock froyo or do i need a rom??
how about just an all black deoxed dialer??
As I understand it, the builds are different so the framework is different, so the mods for those builds are specific to those builds alone. You can always try, but I would imagine there would be issues. Also, themes only work on rooed and deodexed framewrks so if you are "completely" stock then they won't function.

I'm on my phone right now so posting links ain't gonna happen and I apologize. Look in the development section for roms or do a search. There's the Syndicate rom from ACS, Epic Experience from shyzopunk(look for is di18 version), Androdena from n00ble. Those are the only ones I can think off of the to of my head there's also a stock but deodexed rom from n00ble and a deodexed template from dreamsforgotten in the theme section. The Syndicate rom has the aosp lock screen built in but once you pick a rom do a search for dk18 lock screen our check out my theme thread. The emotionless beast for eclair as I have it as a addon in the op

Yes you can flash n00bles stock de odexed rom and flash the aosp lock screen. If your worried about loosing data I've herd you don't need to wipe to flash his rom over stock but you can look for dreamsforgetton template. His template deodexes your system with out wiping anything. But before you flash any thing please do your self a favor and make a back up with cwm

Through CWM flash the zip in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814789&highlight=theme+template
This will leave your phone as is and deodex (merges your .ODEX files into the apks in both system/ and framework/ so you can any theme) your current rom.
Secondly flash this from CWM after:
http://www.4shared.com/file/udiKZ_62/VanillaLock.html
That is the direct link from MysteryMotionz Emotionless Beast theme for DI18 download of JUST the AOSP Lock Screen.
The dialer I'll leave you to find one you like.

Good job mate
Bravo mec
Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.

Themes for Stock ICS rooted

Does anyone do themes for stock ICS? i notice all themes are for any other rom. Soon, one i get some bravery i will flash a rom, but in the meantime, i was wondering if i can change the theme. Like the way the notification bar looks, different battery and stuff. Or is this wishful thinking?

this isnt going to work for stock rooted.
OP: For a theme you will need a deodexed ROM. Even if its a stock deodexed, but you need deodexed.
Thank you blackangst.
I will read more into deodexed rom and get myself familiar with it before doing anything.
does Rom Toolbox theme work for stock? i noticed that app on the market and all that it does, including Icon changing, themes and other stuff. Would this work with Stock ICS or do i still have to have a custom rom?

Yea i am rooted. What should i back up? i have already one a nanbackup on the 16 of this month. If it screws up, i can retore with such backup correct?
Well nevermind, with official ICS this app wont. I was close to buy it, but no need to. The framework on original ICS is odexed, so i need a deodexed rom to mod any of the framework.

how do I install a theme on my Galaxy S3 ?

I have been with iPhone and jailbroken since the beginning, I switched to the Galaxy S3 recently because everyone I know now has it, but I'm feeling regretful now as I cannot even figure out how to install a simple theme ?? My friend rooted my device, but I don't know where to go or what to look for as far as installing a theme ? Everything is just so much more complicating ???

The easiest way to go about theming if you really want to is going to an AOSP rom with theme switcher, like CM10. But if you want to stay on the stock rom, then this thread has all the themes and mods you'll ever need

I see where the themes are located, but how do know which one my rooted device will accept ? Example : should I be looking for NOVA. CM10, etc. or can I just install any theme I see and want ??

Well, since you're on the stock rom, looking for ones that say it's for the stock rom or similar is what you should get. For stock, it's usually a replacement framework file or systemui.apk.

I think u better start reading more.

You should read and look for more info first. But in the meantime, you can go to the play store and download a launcher, I recommend nova launcher, that will customize your device and make it look different than the stock mode. Try it

[Q] Stock, bloat removed, not themed rom?

Hello, I am looking for a good Rom to flash to my Epic 4G before I give it to a friend of mine. She isn't a geek like me, and doesn't want JB or ICS or anything fancy, she just wants a mostly-stock Epic 4G. I talked it over, and we decided upon a stock rom with bloatware removed (so it would run faster and not have Facebook, Allshare, etc preinstalled).
Do you guys have any suggestions for a basic stock, touchwiz, non-themed rom with bloatware removed?
thanks!
The People's ROM is only lightly themed with bloat removed into a separate file. CleanGB has a more stock theme but you have to edit the build.prop to keep from gettingthe update notifications.

You could download Kenny's stock prerooted FC09 ROM and then remove what you won't use

Clean GB is what I used to use until TPR and flashed a ICS theme.
SleeperROM is also stock looking with swipe-able notifications.
