This question regards themeing a stock ROM. I'm looking through decompiled system/framework apks, trying to find out where touchwiz launcher specifies the various wigits & app links we see at initial boot.
Can someone help me out?

I have a de-odexed rom (MoDaCo R8 RC1 at present) but wanted to make it a little more my own. Can someone please explain how to adjust application icons? I have already replaced a load of png's in the framework for notification icons but not sure if apps work the same way.
Many thanks in advance

I was searching for this as well. Seems there are several solutions, some of depending on the Launcher app you use.
Most generic solution (and most uncomfortable) I found here: http://www.anddev.org/how_do_i_change_the_application_icon-t5975.html
Thanks beegee that's exactly what I needed, confirmation that it is what I've done already, just with a different png file.

Hi there, I'm looking to get started with some basic editing of the UI on my galaxy nexus and have not found any place to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?
What I would suggest is to download one of the themes in the apps and themes forum. Dig through the zip and see which files they modified.
The two apk's that are usually modified are:
SystemUI.apk located in system/app
Framework-res.apk located in system/framework
There is also a lot of info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
Good Luck!
Are you rooted? What ROM are you running? Are you using a different launcher or just stock launcher? What exactly did you have in mind for your UI?

Above is the basic paths, but if you really want to go in balls deep let me recommend APK multi tool. It allows you to quickly decompile APKs like systemui and modify them and then recompile and push them to your phone without too much trouble. Shouldn't bee too much trouble to set up if you know what your doing and already have ADB installed on your PC.

As an UN-experienced dev, I am attempting to theme a stock rom that has already been rooted, de-odexed and zipaligned.
other that theming non-stock launchers, is there a way to install a theme chooser compatible with cm10 and aosp themes?
Thanks

As long as the assets are compatible (have to check drawable-hdpi in each apk) then you should be able to simply push a new SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ I made my own theme for the first ICS release by DMan, and pushed it through ADB and it works fine.
If there are assets missing, or not set up right (EX: missing .9 patches) it could bootloop or cause your SystemUI to crash. So backup before testing, obviously.

So I might get lucky by just pushing systemui.apk from cm9 or cm10?
My goal is to be able to use a theme like cobalt blue for cm10 on a stock rooted rom!

No sir. CM themes use different assets, you'd have to manually mix and match the proper assets to the drawable-hdpi folder of the stock ROM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334922&page=1629
I have attempted to manually paste the items into the rom I'm working on but to wont boot, not will doing this to individual system apk's render them not to work! I read through the thread and it seems that the op isn't responding anymore to the thread!
being you are a very eperienced themer, would it be possible for you to look at this and maybe get this to work for the glide?
I would greatly appreciate this.
if you are able to, here is a link to the rom a friend and I have been working on that we would like to have this them working on!

Its likely not booting due to missing assets. Almost every ROM has different SystemUI/Framework assets. Example, the theme elements in Cyan10 are vastly different than any of our stock roms.
If you want to convert a theme from another phone, it can be done. But its not as simple as just pasting the corresponding apk in. It depends on othee things as well... The glide's main theme file is SystemUI.apk, whereas some phones use Framework-res.apk so there is also that to consider.
Converting themes from another device, you'll have to go in to the theme you want to convert, and match the files up to the theme you're replacing. You'll have to change file names and make sure no files are missing, also make sure you're only using HDPI themes.

I am looking to theme my stock SMS bubbles to different colours other than those available.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find any collection of themes for this.
I am running edgarf28's XperianZE Rom.
Can anyone offer any help with this...?
I did particularly love the red and grey of the MIUI theme for the S3 but that theme isn't compatible with my current ROM version...
If possible, I'd like to just theme the SMS (stock).
Please don't point me towards GoSMS etc.... I don't want to install a third party SMS app.
Thanks for any help.

you need to know about to:
1- How to decompile and editing System apk files. i suggest you to read the manuals about the APK MULTITOOL. (google it)
2- How to edit 9.png files
-------------------
you need to edit : System/app/SecMms.apk
when you decompile it, goto SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder
you can find the 9.png files that started by message_bubble***.9.png names.
edit them, and recompile SecMms.apk
copy edited SecMms.apk file into system/app folder on your phone.

Best Regards.
Thanks for the advice.. looks a little tricky for a beginner.
Is it possible for me to somehow take the SecMms.apk file from another rom and drop it into my SecMms.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder?
Also, if i can do this.. do i need any particular file browser etc to access that folder? Can this be done post Rom install, or does this all need to be done within the flashable rom zip file prior to flashing?
Thank you.

Hello XDA community,
Is there anyone here who could port the oos animations to aosp/caf based roms as a flashable framework mod or a substratum theme since substratum support custom animations. I would do it for myself but I dont know how.
I would even be happy if someone eventually has a explanation/guide how to do it then I can try it for myself.
Thanks
Best Regard CroW_D
The animations are located in res/anims within framework-res.apk
To extract them from OOS you need to grab framework-res.apk from OxygenOS (it's in system/framework). I haven't done any mods for a while now, but replacing the anim files inside the framework-res.apk of your rom with the ones from oxygen os should work. I'd do a backup before trying this. I used to be quite nitty so what I used to do was decompile both framework-res.apk with apktool, replace the anim files after decompiling, then recompile your framework-res.apk
If you have the framework-res.apk from your rom i don't mind doing a test zip for you to try

No systemui crashes for me. Just replaced the anim folder from oos with the current one you have on the custom ROM but make sure you have to redone this every time you flash an update of the custom rom. Meiby you picked always the old framework res apk. And replaced it can causes the issue.
Did this work. Can anyone share the file.
