Applying Fresh Theme

Just curious as to how to apply a theme like Detox to Fresh 1.0.1? And if I want to remove it? Thanks in advance!

I haven't done themes yet, but I think they come as .zips and you just download them to the root of your SD card, then flash them like ROMs and kernels in recovery. Or FreshUpdater can sometimes do it from the app itself, but it reboots anyway so you might as well go the manual route.
I think. Download a theme. If it's a .zip, then do that.

All the themes i've seen have either been a flashable zip, or a Metamorph theme ( they each said how to apply them ).
Make a nandroid backup before applying a theme, then if you don't like it, you can just roll back to before you applied it.

the above post is correct. Most themes will come as a zip you flash them lieka rom. I suggest you nandroid before flashing (as always) the only way to get rid of a theme is to either flash the rom again, nandroid to a previous point before yuo applied the theme or flash a new theme over it (which may only change part of the theme)

Exactly like Silver said, i just want to add, if you want ro revert the easiest way is reflashing the rom(no need to wipe)

Thanks for all the awesome help! I got it all flashed and now it looks awesome!

[Q] Stock/AOSP MMS for Bonsai?

Just started running bonsai on my epic 4g. I came over from tmobile (vibrant, Teamwhiskey) I've seen some screenies of people running bonsai with Stock/AOSP Mms. I've done some searching but can't find anything. help?
thanks guys

Just replace the Mms.apk with the AOSP mms.apk.
Texted while driving

Think he needs the APK still X.
Here it is if you haven't found it. Make sure to hit the thanks button for that guy that posted it. He's a badass. lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11919877#post11919877
Oh btw, just replace the existing one in /system/app or push it using ADB.

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.
Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?

The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.

I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.
*edit*
I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?

Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

I'm running bonsai 4.0.1, not sure why it isn't working either. I'm not a dev but i'm no tech slouch myself and I can't figure it out. I'll try it again tonight. Also, teach a man to fish, don't give me the fish. If you happen to have a link for a tutorial to make flashable zips i'm all ears and ready to learn.
p.s. thanks button clicked.

Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.

I made the flashable zip, no luck. Just a thought-is the lack of the mms.odex an issue? does DeOdexing have something to do with this?

Yes,
I just assummed u were running a de-odexed system.

Repencis v3 Phone and DialerTab.

I tried replacing Repencis' Dialer and Phone apk with Creeds' but it would'nt get installed. I hate the 2 round buttons when I get a call. The sliders from Creeds' are better, IMO. How do I replace them with Creed's? I've tried manually pushing them into /system/app and set the permissions right, and also tried ApkReplacer. Didn't work. Help! ^ ^

Those are only 2 apks I need to replace to get the dialer and the screen with the sliding buttons when I get a call right? So I push them to /system/app, boot into CWM and wipe Dalvik cache. Is that it?

theoritically yes. except if the apks from creed are signed with different framework.

@raolemo: if you can locate the dalvik cache for those files you don't have to wipe your dalvik-cache.

Yes I do. The dex files. Tried deleting the 2 apk's dalvik cache and replaced them. It ain't working. -_- Damn, this is hard. :/

I've checked it...it seem's that pratyush have signed most of apk's in his rom with his own framewok. make it imposible to use them on other rom.

I tried using dialer from one of Creed's themes. That didn't work either. So there's ABSOLUTELY no way I can change the call screen and dialer? Hate this! :/

I think he purposively made them exclusive for creed's rom. we can install them but we have to replace framework-res.apk with the one in creed's. we also have to change a lot of system's apk with the one in creed's. it will be almost like installing creed's rom in our device. too many apk have to be replaced.

I'm just on Repencis mainly for Kill3D's theme and A2SD. Well, I guess thats a little something I gotta pay for being on Repencis. I'd somehow manage with the dialer but the call screen is just HORRIBLE. Can't you un-sign it? Jeez I'm being so desperate. xD

even if I do that, I can't upload the apk due to my slow internet connection. you may try to use apktool or apk manager to decompile the apk then recompile them using repencis's framework. I'm not really sure if this will works. recompile apk with different framework doesn't always work. especially when the apk have been modified a lot.

[help] problems changing status bar notification icons

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

Really? Any idea what the file is called and where it is? I have gone through all of the drawable folders in SystemUI.apk and there is not one in there. The only place I could find it was in Mms.apk and it was called stat_notify_message.png

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Is that "stat_notify_email_generic.png" in the .apk, res, drawable-hdpi, by any chance?
Although, I think RockRatt may be on the ball. He posted while I was writing this.

If you copy the drawable-hdpi folder somewhere outside the zip, look at the 'stat_notify_blahblah.png' then you can see what ones you want to change over

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??

I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

Im not sure but I think to get the aosp lockscreen you just have to delete the lg lockscreen. I don't think our lockscreen is that bad I just don't like the shortcuts.

Yeah, if you go in system/app and delete lgelockscreen.apk, you'll have the built-in AOSP lockscreen. It has this annoying ass grey bar at the bottom though that you can't get rid of. Also, you can download Mobint's holo lock screen from the market and paste that into system/app

I had removed the grey bar and tweaked some variables back in December. It works on deodexed or odexed ROMS doesn't matter. It's made for unmodified stock ROMS (I was using with exposed mods ok). Just push the file below (framework-res.apk) to the system/framework directory, set permission, wipe dalvik & cache then reboot. You might want to rename your old one first just in case you have a problem or want to go back.
