This is pretty awesome on the regular SGSII

Could it be ported to our phones? (Specifically Starburst ROM)
Seems like it would be simple because theyre just icons, but would be appreciated
It's really not that hard to do. They're in framework_res. Not being a smartass but why not give it a try yourself? We all have to learn somewhere and this is a good, easy thing to do. Then you won't be relying on others and can make your phone "yours".
FYI: I liked the "bubble" battery in another theme thread and made it work for me.

Glad to hear it. If you got that to work you can edit many other things in Settings.apk or SystemUI.apk as well. They each have a _res folder. Just don't mess with any art that ends with ".9.png". These are art files that require a special editing (you can search xda and find many methods). Failure to do them right and you'll bootloop. Also, keep in mind sizes. Look at the size of something you want to change in the "stock" file and make yours the same. Have fun!

My modification of the second bootscreen!
After fiddling around in framework-res/assets/images, I changed the color of the android in the second bootscreen to white, and inadvertently managed to get it to glow red. lol.
Here's a picture and a video, sorry my kodak camera cant take macro video:

edit: figured out why it was glowing red, haha. my robot_boot_glow.png was replaced by one of the cyclon images and renamed to robot_boot_glow.png
Can this be flashed?
yes, I had to modify and flash the framework-res.apk using this command:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
I *knew* android was cylon technology.
who gave you permission to do this before my tut came out lmao jk good job posting tut and a few hr
Works great just did it,good work bro.
your welcome =] i'll do some more searching around on the phone to see if i can modify anything else.
wow, i hv the same camera!
Yeah, not to burst your bubble, but I did this over a week ago on my Orangedroid theme. Can't blame you though, seeing as how my theme just fails to work for others.
I can back up Phromik on this he did do it first...I got to see it....lol I've done it as well, except I modified the whole background. Someone else already did it as well....I'm posting mine so yall can see..
I also know someone else that did it for a theme he is coming out with maybe he will show it here....
Stericson
You know, I was just thinking tonight how cool this would be for my theme, now that I see the background is edited too I gotta find out how to do that, I was just going to change the droid
I just posted my Blue_Star_5 Update an it has a blue droid.

Just wondering, does your android glow? or did you just replace splash2 using the fastboot flash command?

So....since I have no experence in even opening apk files,could you make a noob friendly guide? I have a great idea but I dont want it "sensored" by someone else
andon guy, my android does glow
OK I've asked a lot of questions and gave nothing back, so I'm about to change that!
These are some resources I cooked up for anyone who wants to make a Android7/Desktop VirtualizeR theme.
I really hope you like them, they took me a few hours to make (I'm a Photoshop noob ).
Example of the theme in action;
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are currently 10 3*1 pictures and there are 9 1*3/1*2 pictures.
Hope you all enjoy them! If you do, I'll be sure to make some tomorrow .

What launcher are you using? It won't work well on TWLauncher. If you're using GO/PRO/ADW, then change the home screen rows to 5 rather than 4. That'll fix the problem. The only thing is I'm probably going to discontinue with this theme.

I'm using go, thanks for the tip I'll try asap !
I'm running Chicago Remix rom, ICS 4.0.4 and i'm looking for a dark MMS.
I've decompiled the MMS.APK through APKTool but i'm no expert user. I don't know how to change the background color or txt color and such.
If anyone can help me I will take the time to attempt to do it myself... I don't mind some trial and error it can always be fun.
Thank you anyone.
I'm not sure if these will work i dont see why they wouldn't but i'm no dev i just saw these the other day and figured i would share
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23960-bubble-themed-mmsapks-various-styles-updated-5-2/
these won't work, have already tried a few so I just wanted to try and theme one myself... Anyone? I'd like to basically change the background color to black, txt to white, possibly make the bubbles look different if thats not too challenging, and making silly smiles.
this is what i'm trying to do basically:

If you manage to whip all that together would you mind and sharing with me and or the community! It looks absolutely amazing.
That is my plan to share it of course. I just need to figure out how in gods name to do it. I tried decompiling that apk but it's signed and I can't get to it. I was simply going to try and a little copy and paste on certain things.

Here is a great guide I found at rootzwiki that gives a step by step tutorial on how to edit the Mms apk: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19845-how-to-theme-your-mms-a-step-by-step-guide/. I found that after I had some help and figured it out. My best advice is to decompile my theme and take a look at it. Most of what you're looking for will be in the layout folder.
If you'd like further help and information you can contact me on GTalk. my email address is nbe[email protected]
Thank you NBeebe24 for all your help and continued support. Here is the first release of my MMS for ChicagoRom and should also work on any UCLE2 rom as well... not tested on them though so i'm not sure..

Good work!
Hello. I just moved to ICS, and I'm doing some modding in it.
There's one thing I don't like and that is the spacing/padding on the left and right side in some (most) menus.
Does anyone know how to remove this?
Let me illustrate with a mockup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The left is how it is, and the right is how I'd like it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

It might be a value in dimens.xml from framework-res that you need to edit. I can't say for sure. Play around with the values and see what you get.
And, how did you got it removed on the second screenshot? may I ask

Well, it may be for some but not for me. Nice photoshop skills you have there. Back on topic, that has just happened to me once and was because I moved the DPIs to a lower value, but it seems it has nothing to do with your problem ~

Ah, thanks, hehe.
Well.. Im looking around and it seems like in older versions of ICS this padding was not there. :/
Just wanted to share this, I use this app for all of my email...and themed it for myself quite a while ago. I'm sure it will update soon but for now is good to go. This is a tap to install so if you already use this app un-install it before downloading mine.
I do not have any intention of maintaining this thread, a few users requested this so this is the only reason I am posting.
This is only for xxhdpi devices, if your device has a lower our higher resolution I cannot guarantee what it will look like. Also, it may look different per device based on your framework images.
Thanks to @cerj for the signed install
Enjoy

Thanks again, yeah I left the body of the email black on white because my eyes started to strain when reading long emails...when it was inverted.
Is there any chance to get this themed app again? The link does not have any files.
