JVH, JVO and JVP themes can be found in this thread!
I was using ock's gingerbread theme for JVK and really liked versions 1-2. I'm not really interested in "all in one" themes and prefer things to be a bit more modular.
This is a "from scratch" theme, decompiled with apkmanager with graphics from AOSP source.
Also likely to only work with deodexed roms I would assume.
What this does:
* Changes the images in framework-res and SystemUI, these include the window frame shape, status bars and various other graphics.
* Changes a few text colours to properly match the new graphics.
* For the moment, has AOSP stock battery mod. (not percentages).
What this will never do:
* Change your lockscreen.
* Add more lockscreens.
* Have the extended power menu. (iirc these are "unsafe" reboots anyway)
* Include the overscroll glow.
* Include the CRT off animation.
If you're after these features I recommend popping over to ock's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010324
But, but, but, I really like the overglow effect!
dhiru1602's stand alone mod should work with these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935&highlight=overscroll+glow
TODO:
- Media scanner's entry in the notification dropdown is coloured wrong. (part of TW?)
- Recolour the data connection icon on the power menu.
- Odd browser combo box size error.
- Adjust xml based colours to match AOSP.
Screenshots
Always useful to have a backup when trying new themes, so there's an "uninstall" which will replace the files back to stock.
CWM3 Compatible Installs:
Main theme:
* Install theme - aosp-jvb-vX.Xs.zip
* Samsung stock JVB theme - stock-jvbs.zip
Lockscreen:
* Install AOSP lock - aosp-lock-jvb-s.zip
* Install Samsung lock - glass-lock-jvb-s.zip
MediaProvider: (SDCard scanner)
* Install aosp themed mediaprovider - aospthemed-mediaprovider-jvb-X.X-s.zip
* Install Samsung stock mediaprovider - stock-mediaprovider-jvbs.zip

At present I'm not intending to skin the dialler or contacts. More or less only core system related.

It couldn't hurt to give it a shot just replacing them. Just backup your current ones.
Otherwise search this forum for skins of dialler and contacts.

If you're on JVK you probably shouldn't flash this. I believe they are a little different. (you may see minor graphic bugs, etc). If you pop over to ock's thread I believe v1-v2 were for JVK.

"E:signature verification failed"...any ideas?
in fact, i only want to make the signal and wi-fi bars when avalable green instead of the stock light grey.
@sargorn great job with this AOSP theme.. love it. Right now, I cant use the files you provided because I'm using a modded framework-res.apk which includes chinese. Im trying to get your look though. So far, I made the status bar black, but cant seem to get it right. Is it possible if I give you my framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, you can mod it for me? Sorry to ask you such a big request...thanks

You're probably using the stock kernel? You need to flash a custom gingerbread kernel and/or custom rom (basically you need CWM recovery) This theme is only for deodexed roms, so if you just flashed stock via kies or otherwise this probably won't work.
For a deodexed stock rom check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Or you can try a custom rom. Check the Development forum for those.

If you just want a minor change, can I recommend the UOT Kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
It's fairly easy to use (again, you need a deodexed rom for this), grab the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ from your phone and the SystemUI.apk from /system/app/.
Choose whichever bits you want, then upload those two files and it will generate an update you can flash with CWM.
I think everything except the Boot animation should work on the galaxy s.

I can give it a shot, but without being able to correctly test it, it might be a bit hit and miss.
It's actually not so difficult to do yourself. There is a very good tutorial in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
For the images required I grabbed them from android aosp source, or you could simply decompile my framework-res with apk manager.
Tweaking a few things to match the AOSP xml, few colours, sizes, etc.
Will run it tomorrow on my phone and see if I find any issue then upload it if it's ok.
No problems with it, 1.5 is uploaded. Some new screenshots too!
sargorn, you somehow read mi mind with this them. I'm playing with framework pieces for weeks now trying to find the stock gingerbread look for SGS .
Your theme is looking excellent from all points of view.
Anyway ... please tell me what you did in order to fix the combo box bug in browser .. thanks.
Status: ONLINE and Updated 12/Jul/12
With so many GB roms coming out lately I often can't wait for xxx custom rom developer to update to xxx rom. For the last month or so I've basically been using customised stock roms. (My own AOSP theme, choose a kernel, change a few apks).
One of the first things I do after flashing a new rom + kernel is cut down on some of the bloat in /system/. I more or less remove everything that can be downloaded (for free) from the market. When they're downloaded from the market they often go into /data/, leaving more breathing room in /system/.
As always, backup and be confident with restoring your phone via download mode or CWM.

What this does:
This is a little bit of PHP that will generate a customised CWM update.zip which will remove specific apks (and associated .odexes).
Usage:
* Choose which APKs you want the update.zip to remove and hit the Generate button.
- You can also select a preset to save some clicking.
* Copy the generated .zip file to your phone.
* Apply it with CWM.
Thanks:
The list of APKs was grabbed from the public google docs spreadsheet.
The SGS2 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet
The SGS3 APK list was grabbed from this public google docs spreadsheet. XDA thread
Notes:
* The APK list shouldn't let you remove anything 'vital' to booting the phone.
* I've tested it myself pretty extensively and used it for the last couple of stock roms released. However, there may be bugs. Let me know and I'll attempt to get them fixed!
* If you have any particular ideas for good presets, also let me know and I'll see to adding them.
* You can remove TouchWiz (TouchWiz30Launcher.apk) with this. However, if you do that without having another home 'app' installed, bad things may (will) happen.
Presets:
- Google
Removes the following:
- Gmail.apk
- GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
- Maps.apk
- Street.apk
- VoiceSearch.apk
- YouTube.apk
- Sargorn Special
Removes the following:
- Everything from the Google preset
- Aldiko
- BuddiesNow
- The flip fonts, Choco, Cool, Rose
- Days
- Dlna
- DualClock
- InfoAlarm
- Flash
- Layar
- MiniDairy
- MyFiles
- Protips
- SamsungWidgets (CalendarClock, FeedAndUpdate, StockClock)
- SnsAccount
- SnsProvider
- Unified Inbox
- Write and Go
Nice, a kitchen for removal rather than gain of apps
reserved for future use!
Simple, but very useful!
Thumbs up!
this looks very promising.
one of the things i hate about upgrading is removing all the bloatware ....will try it out my next flash thanks
what a great idea
Wow, definitely going to try this. Thanks!
EDIT: after generating a .zip and looking at the generated script, it deletes .apk and .odex files. Will this throw an error if used on a deodexed rom? Maybe an option to select whether the rom is odexed/deodexed would be a good idea? Just a thought.
It doesn't throw an error. Just double checked.
I will try. I was looking for such a pc software because im tired of removin app
myself again and again after flashing new roms. Thanks.
can i still choose apps which i don't have so incase in the future, i don't need to create another one.. what i'm generating is my master uninstaller.
very nice utility.
this a very useful +1
Very nice idea. Exactly what I was looking for. Will give it a try right away/
Great!
Suggestion: you could add a text input field (possibly user could press a button to get more text input fields) so that users can remove some other (not pre-defined) APKs.
Don't know if it's of any use though..

That should work without any problems. The update-script won't complain if the files deleted are not there to start with.

I can see it being useful if you have a specific apk that usually is installed with your CSC. I'll look into it when I have a chance.
If I understood well, it works on odexed roms?

That's right, the update-script removes both the .apk files and the .odex files.
So as long as you have CWM it will work on odex or deodexed.
Ok, so domo arigato, as they say
Worked pretty good when I went from JVP to JVQ just a minute ago
Great!
After downloading the zip file, can the updater-script be manually edited and and readded to the zip?
Hello everyone,
after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks
So I share with you two things for the JVQ Odex
- Touchwiz 4 with a apps Phone, Sms and Contacts (based on "SGS2-AOSP Icons / TW4 / Hacked Apps" of Switchrock)
http://www.multiupload.com/4JD1YICWYP
- A mod (still for JVQ Odex) LockScreen AOSP, Effect CRT,% round, green battery, power Extended menu icons radio green house icons "scedric57"
based on a mix of Bo$s & Pomdeter, and that is not lag internal browser base http://www.multiupload.com/AUZHISIHLM (updated ok, version 1.2)
ATTENTION Extended power menu not work !
the same with the original lockscreen: http://www.multiupload.com/ACBYCGY222
the same, reviewed by Pomdeter, with the green battery in percentage: http://www.multiupload.com/5SQZ0MK75O
version for the restoration Stock in if Odex JVQ: http://www.multiupload.com/RVNP3WPM0Q
Installation under SpeedMod Gingerbread [K15H CWM-T22 EXT4 STABLE] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519

good flash at all if you do not mind the flash-test:

ps : escuse me for my bad english
Hi there, you're excused for your English no problem! but I have to say I have no clue what you mean with this
'after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks'
Can you give us some instructions on how to install?
-Do we run them from the recovery menu?
-Do we replace apk and/or .odex files manually?
I'm very interested cause I'd like to keep my JVQ odex as stock as possible but with your mods it would be perfect!
These are flashable with CMW3 and do seam to work and do not lag the browser which is great.
Great job.

Don't hesitate to do more mods to the stock rom
One comment, you said that the extended power menu doesn't work.
True.
What now also doesn't work anymore is Quickboot (from the market).
That doesn't do anything anymore after installing JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2.zip
After restoring JVQ_odex_Restore.zip it still doesn't work, also similar apps like AnReboot stopped working altogether.
I think the problem has to do with root permissions somehow being withdrawn or deleted cause all my apps that require root access have stopped working to. They start/run but don't execute their function (e.g. droidwall complains it no longer has root access).
Can you please look into this?
Update:
Fixing root permissions in cwm recovery solves the above problem but is persistant (also happened after a second install of the mods).
The Extended Power Menu options result in the GUI being restarted.
i lost root.

Reapplied it easily as I'm on tegrak kernel. Tried reinstalling superuser. Doesn't work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I reinstalled root from within the Speedmod kernel, that worked without a problem (just took me some time to figure out loosing my root was the problem).
The good thing is I have the nice circle mod and some graphics tweaks plus the browser still rocks!
But I would consider this still a beta that needs some more work.
So If I understand it correctly, this fixes the browser on a deodexed JVQ rom, but it will cost you root and the extended power menu? Great work! I hope you can fix those issues, I don't know I can easily re-root my phone (running on darkcore 2.8) and I like the extended power menu too much to give it up
Again, great work. You've made a lot of people happy!
It doesn't fix the browser cause it ain't broken.
It also doesn't cost you root if you're on speedmod.
And I guess the extended menu is something being worked on so it looks good from my pov, at least I have a great stock slightly themed JVQ!
Okay, make it useable then. Calling the stock browser laggy on a deodexed JVQ is an understatement.
Great TW4 stef !
Just upload .zip in CWM and you have a new phone !
Thanks

The point I made was that the stock browser is not broken on the odexed version and we run these theme mods on the odexed stock JVQ so the browser is not fixed.
Which one shall I install TW4_JVQ_ODEX_V1 or JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2 or both since the contents of the two are different? Is there any bugs after installing this mod? Kindly please explain between the two version what's the difference. These are just my questions on this mod.
TW4 is the one that should contain touchwiz 4.
The other one contains the mods like green battery, etc...
I've just installed the TW4 mod on my odex JVQ running speedmod.
But the boot took 2 minutes, while it normaly takes about 25 seconds.
Will this happen on future boots too?
EDIT:
This doesn't contain TW4, just the icons.
It's still the old, ugly TW3.
EDIT2:
the restoration file doesn't convert the tw4 icons (contacts+messages) back to old school TW3.
Please fix this, cause i don't want to flash JVQ again.
So basically this doesn't make it like TW4 only the icons even if I install both mods. It will just look like TW4 but the way it works will still be TW3. Is this correct?
Not sure what you flashed but this is definately TW4
Transparent dock, semi transparent background in app drawer, page numbers at bottom in app drawer and homescreens and of course icons have been changed.
Works like a charm, thank you very much!
All thanks goes to Roenano (Please consider donate to him) & the list below.

Thanks a lot! Now I can finally keep my MIUI!
Had trouble reading messages written in Persian
Thanks a lot again!
Applied the patch, works wonderful!
I have a problem however... I downloaded the Al-Jazeera font and applied it in the theme manager. However I feel like the Persian text using this font is not the way it's supposed to look!
Al-Jazeera font looked really beautiful using Madmack's MOD on stock SGS II ROMs.
But it looks ugly here! Kinda like original MIUI font for Persian text.
Tried restarting the phone, still getting ugly shaped fonts!
Any solution?
is there anyone else facing a problem with email titles in GMAIL? the subject field is shortened and the letters "kb" shows??

For Samy Roms look here, but it's also for deodexed Roms, for odex roms i think you should deodex framwork.jar, patch it and odex it again.

Yes, the list of messages in GMAIL is affected by the RTL patch. It starts to show the two letters "KB" instead of the three dots "..." at the end of the line.

For NST/NSTG with 1.2 firmware
Hi, new NTSG owener here
After reading this thread I've decided to make similar mod for 1.2 firmware.
NOTE: this was tested on rooted 1.2 firmware on NSTG but should work fine also on NST
Modifications in framework-res.apk:
-added languages: the same as in original mod
-replaced some images: by default not-localized ones had ugly "X" painted on top, now they look as for English locale
Modifications in Settings.apk:
-all languages are now visible in language picker ( <extra android:name="hideDevLanguages" android:value="false" /> in xml/settings_locale.xml) removed due to SetupWizard incompatibility (com.bn.oobe doesn't like this)
-added Development Options in main menu (changes in xml/settings_root.xml and xml/settings_root_gossamer.xml- first file is for NSTG, second for NST)
-locale picker is present in Development Options
-added Sync & Settings submenu
If you wish to play further with Settings.apk I can recommend this tutorial (it's for ICS but workflow is the same for Eclair).
Downloads:
All files are CWM flashable zips
NSTG-MULTI-1.2.x-flash.zip -modified framework-res.apk
NSTG-settings-accounts-1.2.x.zip -modified Settings.apk
RESTORE_FRAMEWORK.zip -restore stock framework-res.apk
stock-settings.zip -restore stock Settings.apk
Remember to make a full backup before flashing anything
Updated Settings.apk- now Accounts & Sync is available
NST owners- please post feedback, I can't test modifications on your hardware.
EDIT:
Removed modded settings.apk due to SetupWizard incompatibility, testing alternate solutions
EDIT EDIT:
Modded Settings.apk back online.
BIG FAT WARNING
Settings.apk is deeply tied to other B&N system apps, Setup Wizard will fail with a modded one.
So if you want to use it keep original one around in case of data wipe

Languages were taken from 2.1 Samsung EU rom.
I've used Android Multitool
If you want to add language:
1.Grab a 2.1 rom which has your language onboard, decompile framework-res.apk,
-copy /res/values-[desired language code]/ folder which includes arrays.xml, plurals.xml and strings.xml
-copy /res/raw-[desired language code] folder
2. Decompile Nook's framework-res.apk
-put both previously extracted folders to /res
-copy any of existing /res/raw-XX to /res/raw-[desired language code] -this folder holds localized images
-compile apk
-there will be warning about missing strings in translation- dont' worry, system will use english ones
-copy AndroidManifest.xml file and /META-INF from original framework-res.apk to newly compiled one (apk is a zip)
3. Replace framework-res.apk in a flashable zip and flash it
I'd advise to wipe dalvik-cache after flashing (just in case)
And better don't use modded Settings.apk, language picker can be accessed in Nook Color Tools.
Sorry, I didn't find a way to make modded Settings work in SetupWizard (oobe.apk in reality)
EDIT:
And better check if fonts support japanese
ahead of that.. I just wanted it to recognize Japanese characters.. only had to add ttf files into the fonts folder.
(oddly the stock reader doesn't do that.. meh, I didn't like it to begin with.. I'm using AIreader) but thanks though : )
This looks great! Thanks, @gen_scheisskopf. Due to this mod's being created, I'm now working on my own modified Settings.apk.

I'd suggest to take a look at dependencies, AFAIR settings.apk depends on B&N apks (this is most likely why my modified apk only FC-ed when booting system after a wipe)

Check. I've got the beta version of my Settings.apk working famously on my NTG - here's the project thread.
