I've searched through the forums and found nothing that like this for the HTC Evo, which was really annoying since I can't seem to locate it in Astor, but it's on my phone, but I can' extract the .apk file. How can I locate it to create my own theme?

It is on your phone...data/app or system/app not sure...otherwise download the template from the theme chooser thread.
And you'll need Root Explorer to get the apk, I'm pretty sure it's in /system/app.
If you don't have and don't want to pay for Root Explorer - which I recommend because it's a great app - there are free alternatives. ES File Explorer has root capabilities, but I think you have to enable it in the app's settings.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help. It was found under the ClockWork file through a lot of digging, but I did manage to find my Androidian.apk and cyanbread.apk. Again, much appreciated folks, the help was much needed.

I'm running the Fresh 3.1.0.2 ROM on my EVO and today installed the Manup theme, as well as his alternate font. I decided I like the theme but don't really care for the font, now I can't figure out how to change it back to the regular theme font.
I tried reflashing the Manup theme file over and over with no success. What should I do?

Android stores it's fonts in /system/fonts/. You could take the files from this directory from an un-themed backup or ROM and replace the themed files with them using ADB or a root file manager.
Thanks for the reply. I've found the fonts folder, but I can't seem to replace the files. (probably because they're in use) I've tried Android Mate, ES file explorer and Astro, no luck.
I don't know how to use adb.

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
You might not know what to put to push and pull the files but I'm sure there is a topic about it and if not ask for help with what to put. I do remember searching the forum and ran across a post with this info. I use xda app so I would look for you and post the link but ill let you look first. Just takes awhile for me to find stuff I'm looking for on the app. Wish there was an option so you can choose just the evolution forum to search through or a phone forum of your choose. Would help with searches alot.

if anyone with a rooted device could bring up all the UI images for touchwiz into one folder that would be great. Im designing a theme for my ipod touch based around it and would really appreciate the help. I cant do it myself because my phone is broke.

Look around for framework-res files. Sure you can find some online.
cant seem to find the files your talking about :/
someone please help
I made a package containing framework apks from JS5, you just have to extract them and look into the "drawable" folders.
Download it ☛ here.
i have them downloaded now what do I do?
and arent apks cracked apps..?
Now rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.zip, extract it and browse folders, you'll find icons and theme elements. But you still need screen captures

I have the stock widget for the clock, but I would LOVE to have it fully transparent. I know these are in themes, but I am on completely stock at the moment.
If someone could please post the apk file I would really appreciate it.

is the stock DIGITAL CLOCK .apk with the background set to clear. i didnt check the rom you linked to but i think this may be what you wanted.
so to clarify.
this is the stock DigitalClock.apk with the background set to transparent instead of the semi transparent grey.
to install
::::
replace DigitalClock.apk in system/app
with this .apk
i would probably rename orig DigitalClock.apk in system/app to something like DigitalClock.apk.old or DigitalClock.apk.bak
this will require root and access to the /system/app folder in write mode.
several programs can achieve this i personally used ES FILE EXPLORER (free market)
hope this helps.
--mike (oh yea by .... ME lol. just edited res/drawable/bg.png no other changes)
EDIT
using es file explorer to accomplish this...
SETTINGS>>>
(1) set HOME DIRECTORY to /
instead of /sdcard/
(2) check both ROOT EXPLORER and MOUNT FILE SYSTEM check boxes
then just copy and paste as normal
after copy .. may require a reboot and re-adding the clock widget to whatever screen you wish.
**REQUIRES ROOT to install**

Awesome dude it looks tight as hell. Thanks everyone! We should start a thread doing all of the TouchWiz Widgets like this. Like the calendar, accuweather, etc.
I saw that other post that had all of the different ones, but we should do it for the stock themers here for them to build off of.

first mod i did when i rooted. glad you got it though. would have posted it too.
I have this in my proton and black dusk themes AND I've themed the weather to clear too. All you have to do is extract the apks and use the method above to put them on your phone....
Can someone upload this clock again, please?
All Links on Multiupload are down.

HOW TO CHANGE .APK ICON USING APK MANAGER.
Many people have asked how to change icons of apps in app drawer,once it was my question too,and I searched every corner of xda to find a thread explaining me that but it was of no avail even though i FOUND one but it didn't work on my sgs2.Therefore,I decided to help everybody who is having the same problem including me.So I brought you the easiest 'n simplest way to change the icons,it's lenghty as many would call it but once you get the hang of it,you'll be changing the icons of 'n on.
JUST FOLLOW THE STEP BY STEP GUIDE;
1. Copy Settings.apk in the folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding"
2. Start the "Script.bat"
3. Choose point 22 "Set current Project"
4. Choose your app you want to extract
5. Choose point 1 "Extract apk"
6. Go to the folder called "Projects" 7. Choose your app you just have extracted
8. Choose the folder called "res"
9. Look in the folders where the icon is.
10. Change the icon but be sure it have the same size ("mdpi: 48x48" hdpi: 72x72" xdpi: 96x96")
11. Go back to script windows or start script.bat again
12. Choose point 22 "Set current Project" again
13. Choose point 3 "Zip apk"
14. Choose point 12 "sign apk"
15. Go back to the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" now should have a apk here that is called signed"NameOfYourApp"
16. Copy it to your Sd card and install it on your device.

Glad you found it helpful !
7zip
Thanks a lot for this thread very usefull.
We can change the icons with 7-zip when we install a mod like Jkay.
1. extraxt your apk from your mod with 7zip
2. Open the apk with 7zip
3. Go into res/mipmap-hdpi for the Sgs2
4. Insert your new icon to replace the older
5.Replace the old apk
Apk manager is also very interesting to decompile the apk. This allow to change the code to make big modifications like the Domination mod.
PS: Sorry for my bad english language
Using the method in the OP you could very easily open up a can of worms if it contains badly patched 9's.
I'd personally use the universal theme template, a lot quicker, easier and safer compared to apkmanager, and it creates a backup.
I tried your method but it does not work on my sgs2 XWLPF deodex with last syiah. I cannot install the setting apk created on my phone.
I agree, although this thread is very helpful, I recommend if you're not changing any xml code or .9's... don't decompile just use UFT...
I know it's hard for some people and find decompiling and compiling complicated,so they choose 7-zip.. It's faster and easier I agree but I made this tutorial to let people learn how to use apk manager too.

Yes but the title suggests to "change the apk icon" in which you do not need to decompile the APK to do so... maybe you should rename the title?
anyway, thumbs up!
why before using apk manager my apk is 5969 kb and after change one file ( from 1,50kb to 1,86 kb ) it is 3124 kb ? I'm changing status_bar_latest_event_content.xml in framework-res.apk
Thanks a lot..

Great thanks!
thanks.
but when i reboot the phone app's icon turn older.
what is the solution?
Im trying to change my clock color, either in status_bar.xml or styles.xml and neither way is working. After I push SystemUI,apk, I reboot the phone and it says systemui.apk has stopped working. I read I don't need to resign the apks, so Im not sure what else to do? Also, what compression level should I be using?
Hi, I tried using APK manager to change icons, and it works, but when I go to install on my android device, it says it didn't install.
Any help?

I've been looking everywhere to find where themes go when we download them from the market. I've looked in data/apps but no theme engine themes go there. Looked in System apps no themes go there. I want to modify one for myself. Could any genius out there please tell me where the market installs them? Thanks community
Edit. I think mnt/asec? If this isn't it I'm lost... Please to all you theme geniuses please chime in?

I've always seen them inside /data/app directory. You sure you didn't over look it? Remember it's using something like com.android.theme or something like that.

why not go to /data/apps, find the apk for the theme, copy and paste on your pc? then you could open the apk up and mod it from there...
