I can help what sort of things are you wanting to do? PM me if you would like help.

You could also do a search for (The Ultimate Android Teeming Guide). That has some very useful info in there

You need to get into the deal yourself all by yourself to be more familiar with what's going on inside the Rom itself!
Then when you hit a serious roadblock then call on us for the help that you need!
We can't do it for you!
Goodluck

+2... its how you learn... just keep reading...its all in here dude...

it will really depend on what you want to do. I do a lot of modifications to get my own personal theme where it is. I dont mind helping some though i am by far no expert.
The way i learned was simply by getting one of the many theme programs that make it easy to decompile and recompile your .apk (i use a little program called "Android Theming and Tweaking v2" its an oldie but wors well so far for me another option is themePRO)
once you have that just start decompiling your framework-res.apk and if you are working with a sense rom your com-htc-resources.apk once in there you can look through. you can do a LOT by simply replacing the .png files located in drawable/drawable-hdpi with the .png files you want to use. I recommend holding off on .9.png files until you read up on them and how to edit them correctly. I would really start there. additionally you may search for the super circle battery mod post which gives instructions on how to implement the battery icon that changes every 1% as well as the notification toggle post to get the cool toggle in your notification bar. it also walks you through how to add it. Both are relatively straight forward once you get the hang of things.

Video how to?

I am sorry if this was posted before, but I was looking at some of the guides for learning how to make themes. I have never done anything like this before or done any of this type of programming, but would like to try and learn how to.
But I am a person that learns better with watching what must be done then actually reading it lol. Is it possible for someone who does themes for the epic can possibly post or make videos on how to actually start learning how to make themes from the stock files? Like setting up the different programs needed and then maybe doing a sample of how to actually make a theme from the stock.
I hope I am not offending anyone for asking this, but I find this site very fascinating but like I said I am very new to this type of programming or working with android phones.
But I will understand if this is not possible to do since so many people have different ways of working and might not be able to show there work. But any possible help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your time and patience.
youtube has given me knowledge a time or two.
There are a bunch of how to's all over these forums. Some have videos. feel free to ask questions and myself and others will help

Ok first of I know of many questions lol....Even tho froyo is out now, do we the eclipse plugin for adb? I follow the written tutorial to install sdk and the apk manager app.
But I did not install the eclipse adt plugin that the guide talked about, is it necessary even tho we are on froyo currently?
Also what would be a very good starting point for a newbie? Should I focus on a specific field of the android devices or is themeing very different from the other aspects of modding the epic phones?
I have yet to use eclipse on any theme I been apart of. I use apkmanager to de compile and re compile .apks. I use notepad ++ to edit xml files. Xml files can only be edited when the apk had been de compiled. I use gimp for image editing. You can use any photo editing program you like. I use 7zip to brite and put the images in the apk. Baksmali and smali for editing .dex files.
I suggest reading the how to's as they explain everything in detail.

I learned everything on my own. I didn't have anyone to teach me. I taught thomasskull666 and where working on some good projects. Me and dreamsforgotten are always bouncing ideas off of each other. If you see my eclair build I was the imply theme with the reboot options that I will port over to froyo once we get an official build. I also have two other things I figured out for froyo that you can see in my froyo build. I labeled all the silent options correctly to vibrate and I removed the sprint branding. Its hard to believe I was like you when I got my epic. I didn't know ****.

I'm 26. Its not hard to learn the basics. Xml for the most part is well writtin so making those changes are somewhat easy. Smali is a ***** to edit and that I'm still learning. For the most part a theme is 95% images.

I want to be a themer.

I want to contribute back to XDA for the help I received on rooting, flashing, ROM, Kernel, CWM, etc... The only way that I can do is by working on themes. I'm not sure how hard it is, but its complicated already. I do have Notepad++ and 7zip. I do not have GIMP, but I do have Photoshop 7 (which I will always stay with). I could try to use GIMP, if that is really required.
What is best for me? Work off of current themes to make adjustments, improve, etc? I dunno. Maybe something that I can work with someone on, such as if someone provide a theme, and I can work on providing multiple colors for the theme. Really need to know what I should work off of. I have bookmarked several topics and have been reading.
For me, reading on my own is not really a stable learning option (as in not that easy as it seem). I learn best through one-on-one communication (such as hands on, etc), so I'd like to partner up with someone that will be willing to do that. Such as PM, email, or messenger (AIM, YIM, or MSN).
Anyway, I'd really like to learn to keep themes alive for Epic, because new phones keep coming out and people just simply move on. I'd obviously stay with my Epic for a few years.
Oh, I'm sticking to EC05 for at least a year or so.

I personally think, and I truly mean no offense or disrespect, that if you want to theme and are going to stay on ec05 for at least a year you are wasting your time. I doubt that anyone, especially those that would use a theme, is going to stay on ec05 once official gingerbread comes out. Many people, including myself, are already using the leaks. But if you want to do it I suggest downloading some themes you like and comparing them to stock to see the differences. If you already know photoshop than basic themes are easy. It is simply modifying images in the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk files. It gets more difficult when you want to work with xml files and the .9.png files. The best thing to do is start with the how to theme thread. That will get you going.

I've been testing my abilities at theming with the new ef02 leaks its really time consuming, but I'm going to stick to it, I'm sure I can get better with practice. Besides regular png's and nine patch png's what else should I learn also?

Really those are the biggest things to start with. Knowing where everything goes, pngs and 9s are all you need for the basics. To get advanced you will want to learn about decompiling xml files, changing them and compiling them back.

I have been theming for a while, but mostly for personal use. I started with the Samsung Moment, and have been making my own themes for the Epic since I got it. 7zip, apk manager, xultimate, gimp, and draw9patch are all programs I use on a daily basis. I have learned a lot from other themers, and a lot from tearing the files down and comparing them with different themes. Good luck.
I really envy you all that are good with graphic development. I have never been good at that. I know enough to get by but would really like to know how to make really nice looking graphics myself.

You could start with decompiling the framework res and replacing the images with ur own found images. then compile and try it out. that's the most simple method of starting

I was just about to say that... you'd only need to decompile if your editing xmls or what not. Images can be swapped through 7zip.
cd's or tapes?
Thunder more themers would be nice.. well wait....more themers that are creative and not just recolor someones elses work lmao? The sky is z limit my friend. But if you're going to be themein...start with ec05 and take off from there!

You only need to decompile to work with xml files and the 9s. And you don't have to do it for the 9s but it makes it a lot easier.

I usually create a new folder, copy all the images from the compiled apk using 7zip (example: \system\app\Contacts.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\) to the new folder, edit the images I want, then drag them back to the compiled apk. The only time I decompile really is when I need to change the text color, or add images that arent currently being used(battery mod, locksreen mod, reboot mod).
One thing that I do for icons and such is create a .psd. It makes it a lot easier than trying to do the same thing for each icon when you have a standard .psd to work with. I have done a lot of my own battery icons using a .psd.
OP, More themes is never a bad thing. I used to cook roms back in the winmo days, but when I moved to android I realized that being a rom chef was probably out of my league so I started making themes.
Basic themes can be made in a 5-10 hours, but more complicated themes, and some ports can take 30+ hours to make. Their are several great themers here that I'm sure are willing to help. I would start by reading dreams how to thread about 5 times. If you get stuck, you can post in that thread, normally someone will answer your question quickly. Also, if you think I can help, feel free to shoot me a PM.

I agree with everything stated above, reading and understanding the guide is step one, step two is (in my opinion) to familiarize yourself with the framework and what does what. Then what I did is port a theme just for fun, boot it up and go from there doing the whole troubleshooting process. That's the way to learn

[SCRIPT] [NS4G] [UPDATED] One Click Return to stock V2.0

The title says it all. The only prerequisite is that you already have the drivers for your phone installed. Which i assume most people looking at this thread do as they were needed to get root in the first place.
Always back up your stuff and any apps before using.
Features:
Restores back to stock 2.3.4
Relocks Bootloader
Removes root
Fixed:
1. Now it will not run when gsm users try to use it.
2. Runs alot smoother thanks to Indirect.
Download this zip.
Extract it
Click on run.bat
and follow the onscreen instructions
now your phone should be back to 100% stock
Thanks to pete for the img files
Thanks to Indirect for the fixing problems with gsm users using this.
so this will unroot, relock, and put stock recovery back on?
Yes it returns it to the same way it was when it came out of the box. So be sure to back up any data on your internal memory you want to keep.
sweet, thanks to you and pete

No problem. I just decided to automate his process. And include all the files you need. Also if anyone needs the drivers just use pdanet as described in the one click root thread
yea i know there are the purests out there that dont believe (so to say) in the one clicks but those of us who are only partial idiots and cant figure out sdk, odin, and whatever else there is the one clicks really help. i know what i want my phone to do i just want the "for dummies" way to do it
It's like a dream come through, I now know this ns4g section of XDA is the best section.

You and me both. I just learned earlier this week that fastboot and adb were drivers that come with sdk. It is confusing without a literal step by step guide. I would like to learn all the processes and make a guide for total beginners. Unless anyone else knows of one already in existence for the NS4G?
I must admit, though, that the more threads I read the more confident I get about following through with it. All of you devs and themers and advanced users, I tip my hat to your knowledge and helpfulness with threads like these.

thanks for this. I wanted to return to stock for the update and did it the long way,because i don't think this was posted yet. I think anyone that is rooting their phone should at least learn how to use sdk and the commands. Im glad I had to force my self to do it that way, but this will really help for the next time with one click root and now unroot its great. I had to root again because it was delayed and cant stand stock
No problem and yes the long way is beneficial from a learning standpoint. But i prefer quick and easy and anyone who wants to learn the long way just open the run.bat file in notepad and teach yourself

Some think this is a lazy way, but some of us have to find work arounds for stuff like this. Right now I'm stuck using Wxp/ home, tried everything I could think of and still couldn't get sdk installed . This helps enormously. I don't mind learning the hard way, but I also like to do things efficiently and save time.

Were are you reading to theme/rom?

First you should get yourself familiar with Androids innards. It is very unlike windows and closer to linux/osx. Grab yourself Root Explorer, it will be a very worthwhile investment unless you are already familiar with ADB.
Make sure you have 7ZIP, and GIMP, and know how to use them first. Also install Brut.all's APKTool (base for Android-Utility/APKManager)
Download and install the Android SDK
Here's the Developers guide, It has quite a bit of information in it related to specific png locations, names, how they're displayed, etc and more.
Here's a guide I used to get into theming made by TheImpaler747 (VERY notable dev)
If you have a Mac/Linux grab Android Utility (Essentially APK Manager for Mac), it has a very active and helpful dev, as well as a very intensive guide.
If you have Windows/Linux grab APKManager
These are advanced APK/Android tools that let you edit APKs, Sign ZIPs/APKs, and much more.
Remember only sign APKs that go in /Data, if it's in System, don't sign it. If you edit an APK/ZIP it will lose it's signature, so remember to resign. If an APK goes in /System/App, don't sign it. All update zips must be signed in order to be flashed. Make sure that the updater script is in UTF-8 form and saved w/o a filename, many things can go wrong with this and make your zip unable to flash.
Here's another very large compilation of guides
Messing with AOSP? There's a guide for that.
Wanna Learn ADB
.9.pngs killing you? Me too, I have several links to those
Long Text Guide
The guide I found that was like an Epiphany
Hex/XML Editin? Grab Notepad++, Learn about color hex codes, memorize ffffff=white 000000=black ff0000=red and in GIMP/PS/PXM/Etc make sure you have a color pallete/notepad of the colors you need to recall on the exact same value more than once, this will be alot of colors.
Edit Settings.apk's List via XML
Gentleman, pm me. I have information I have sent others... It does require reading though... Exstensive reading. But its how all of us learned how to make roms and themes...
I updated my post with a small guide. I will continue to improve on it.
Thanks guys!

Not for nothing but there are tutorials on how to do it all over the web and its rather easy. Also it will help you to learn a little bit about your phone and you can give back to the community.
Honestly simple as changing a line of text that's it guys.... Get your developing on!

This is the right place to ask though. If it's possible, a flashable zip would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

Sorry just saw your response, now if you put as much energy into to searching for a tutorial as you put into responding to me the kid you may of found your answer. Hopefully you already have. I have not been on a rom without it in a while but find a good compile recompile program for ICS and the line of text in framework-res.apk is the same as GB.
See I helped now back to watching Spongebob....
watever. yeah sure. thanks for nothing.

If you had listened to him, and actually "tried" to search for a tut, you would have found one for ICS. I found one sometime ago (don't have link so don't ask) so I will try to make a zip or at least upload the file needed, I'm not home at the moment but if I get it accomplished I will most likely post in the DEV section.

i actually did, looked everywhere i know, and nothing. but thanks in advance for your help.
Ok, so I got home and read through the tut again, but I am having trouble on my computer, so I will post link here if anyone is willing to give this a go try, word of advice this is for a different device (att's SGS2) so DONT install any of the files that are there just follow the instructions to edit the framework. If by any chance I get my comp working once again I will attempt this.

It appears the ROM does not have the animation included. config_animateScreenLights is already set as 'false' in this ROM's Framework-res apk.

I personally don't like it, but you know what? I went and typed in crt off animation on google and got this as the first result after the videos.. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2553-dev-enabling-crt-on-off-animation-in-roms-how-to/ even though it's for gb it might just send you in the right way once you get your smali on.. Google is your friend and you might learn from it one day if you actually use it.......
