I really like the layout and colors on this MattedBlues theme.
It would be very appreciated if someone that has the knowledge to do it would share the wealth.
I would definitely give it a try if I had any idea how to do it!
Thank you in advance

blah.. don't have time to do this right now.
here the theme porter ive used in the past. just follow instructions.
theme porter... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
update.zip packager... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
what i do.
get theme
get rom.
extract both.
place needed files in correct "new" and "old" folders..
run script..
move "new" folder back into cm7 unzipped folder where you took them from.
rezip into flashable zip..
if you google how to make a flashable.zip you should get a link to xda somewhere.
has a script too that does it for you. then just flash in cwm.
p.s. im workin on this right now. ill try to upload tonight. if not tomorrow after work.
Lol funny thing is I ported this for myself already, I just got winrar and replaced the SystemUI.apk images, and the framework-res images, and if you want the apps stuff too then replace those as well and done.
When I tried to flash it a week or two ago it made me loose service, so I had to do it that way and such, although I do not understand why it would make me loose service

That looks great! Do you still have the zip you can share? If not, then I will try to figure it out!
Thank you in advance!

I will add it to the latest nightly, although I have no idea if this will let me upload a entire rom o.0
if cimer doesn't get it i'll continue work. kinda more of a learing process right meow.
i got everything themed over. i guess i should include the apks from the themed rom, and not the ones in cm7 since they don't show up themed when i open them i.e. dialer, market etc.. threw it together quickly. boot animation, notification bar and font taken care of. i'll continue tomorrow.
if this works, pretty sure it will.. i'll start porting more themes.
Awesome.....
Is there any way to add the zip as just a flashable theme, rather than part of a full rom? I am currently only using CM7 RC2, not any of the nightlies.
Anything I can do to help, plz let me know!
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Yes there is a way to just do a flashable zip, although since I have no idea what caused me to loose service I did it directly with the Rom. I will play around with it tonight when I have time.
If you want to do it your self you just need the latest nightly, the latest matted blues and just copy things into the appropriate folder using winrar. It's really simple.
Edit: @shady if you want to do it you can, I have yet to get started.

Well this morning I got the theme ported... the best I could anyways. I'm by all means no sort of dev or themer.. I just like to tinker. but I got the theme ported.. only thing I noticed was lockscreen icons weren't themed.. idk if they are or not originally in the evo theme.. and in setting the "highlight" or whatever its called was still the orange color.. honestly idk how to change any of those. Like I said I only tinker.. but id say like 95% of the theme ported over just fine.. I was using it, but flashed back to lucid theme on my way to work. Ill work on this and see if I can make the update.zip just the theme and not a full rom...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Mine were not original either it's alright the lock should be blue and a couple of other tweaks,
The whole theme works great by copying the icons and imgs in framework res.apk. to the cm7 framework and over writing it. I have tried the theme porter method but apk manager works the best so far that I've tried if I get permission from developer I will post the theme later tonight. I only have it up to build 19 though

Did you get permission?
And wouldn't basing a theme on a RC be a better idea? Just saying
Just waiting for a pm back from him but I bet it would be better I just use the nightlies and did it for myself but I can do the rc2 tonight and send him another pm

I hope someone can get it working.......I have been try and keep getting all kinds of fc's on all kinds of programs.........it was frustrating so I took a break from it.
Hopefully someone will be able to get this working on RC2 or maybe the developer will eventually add it to the theme engine as an apk

I also tried to contact the developer several times, and didn't get any response. I'm sure they are busy tweaking this for the evo and nexus s. Its really a solid theme

1) Get Winrar
2)Download the ROM you want to flash
3)Open the rom with winrar (Avoids resigning it yourself)
4)Replace the Framework-res.apk located in system/framework with the theme you want
5)Replace the SystemUI.apk located in system/app with the theme you want
6) Close the window
7) Put it on your SD card to flash, remember always make a backup just in case.
Also note if you want the themed icons for apps just replace all the apps in system/apps
This is for people that want to use it personally, you would need to contact the dev. in order to release it to everyone.

This does NOT work. Atleast not for me. I downloaded CM7 RC2 and downloaded CM7RC2 version of MattedBlues. I tried 3 different variations.
1.) I replayed all files from mattedblues into the cm7 rom folder. This allowed me to boot into CM7 with the theme applied, HOWEVER, I had no internet connection and I get about 3-4 FC during the google apps setup
2.) So I tried being selective and only copied framework over and a few of the apps in the app folder. Maybe 3 or 4 apps, like gmail, systemUI, phone etc. This didn't give FC, instead it wouldn't let me have internet connection.
3.) So I just followed the guide exactly and copied only the framework over and the systemUI over. This caused no internet and almost immediate FC on google apps setup. So I just went back to MIUI.
P.S. I tried two different kinds of GAPPs. I tried the ones that come with CM7 rom in the ROM Manager and I tried another GAPPs I downloaded previously for Iceandfire. Just to experiment. Both failed in the same way.
Thanks for the try though. I would LOVE to see a real port of this rom. One of the best (if not the best) looking themes out right now.
I've ported MattedBlues to the G2 just for you guys. Pick it up at the official thread here.
I have been theming on the x2 for awhile now building custom themes .. I just got my nexus yesterday so I downloaded the gummy rom and tried to theme first with apktool and also with apk manager.. I see there have been themes made..

yep, you need to update apktool for use with Android 4.0
edit: more specifically...
-Wrong version of apktool (get the latest)
-Wrong verison of apktool dependancies files (same site)
-Wrong version of aapt.exe in Android SDK (get latest SDK)
Alright awesome I'll look into it tonight after work

I have the latest version of all of that and can decompile with apktool. The problem is when I build the new apk and copy over the edited files and push back to the phone the app won't work.

I pulled the music apk, edited it, rebuilt it, and put the edited files back in the original apk. I did that because I don't know how to sign my own apk so I just used the already signed one with some edited png and xml files. The thing I don't understand is that I pulled an apk once and opened it via 7zip and edited some things, pushed it back and everything was fine (changed out some icons on the contacts.apk)
Do you know where an up-to-date theming guide can be found? I'm very interested in making my own themes instead of requesting themers to make one. Learning experience and all that jazz.
Thanks.

Actually, GoogleMusic.apk is found in data/app not in system, at least in the ROM I am on. But, am I correct in assuming that I can do the same thing in this instance?
Furthermore, is there no way to theme a single application? Do I need to always theme an app, place it back into the ROM zip, and reflash said ROM?
Can I make my own flashable zip file for a single app?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I just really like tinkering with things and I would really like to get good at theming.

wut? i've never done what you guys have when it comes to compiling/decompiling and replacing stuff. i'm not so sure that works, but i'll take your word for it for now since i've never tried it either. in theory, you can decompile and change xml, recompile and replace that xml, but not if you're dealing with the actual xml folder in apks. your resources change when you mess with that. this is the same for changing smali, except something else changes (it's been a bit since i've dealt with actual dev stuff).
also, it's a big waste (and sometimes troublesome) to flash an entire ROM to update one or a few apks. making one for just testing out things in \system\ will save you time and frustration. you can also make a backup easier for if something bootloops you
Success!!!
All right, first and foremost, thank you immensely for all the suggestions Kevin and others as well.
Here's what I did. I searched the ROM zip to no avail, but then found the apk in the gapps zip. I took it out of there, decompiled, messed around with just a few png files, recompiled and put it back into the gapps zip. Flashed it and it worked. Problem is, only a couple of the edits I made showed up which brings me to my next issue, ICS optimised apps have a tonne of "drawable-***" folders. Drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-hdpi-v8,v9,v11, drawable-xdpi, etc....ad nauseum.
I am not messing with any smali code, xml files, or .9.png files yet as I don't know what smali does, xml is a headache, and I have heard horror stories about .9.png files.
I'm going to dink around and see if I can sort out what items need to be changed for my current dpi setting (241) and will report back any findings, but probably not tonight as I have an early course in the morning followed by work.

See this is how I read it too. I believe the OP means that he's making changes and then replacing the apk in the flashable zip. Not actually replacing the edited xmls in the original apk. Glad I'm not the only one that read it that way though

no decompiling is necessary for tweaking pngs.
smali code is for messing with policies, etc.
.9.png files can be a pain if you don't recompile the apk correctly.
and this should help with your dpi as far as what to edit so you can see it...

I've been debugging my mms themed app and have come up on a problem. Everything works great, but even a simple decompile/recompile seems to break the search messaging function. I get no errors during decompile/recompile, and no installation errors. Search just doesn't work. I'll post a logcat in case somebody can see something i missed. I'm using apk manager 5.0.2 and have also tried multi-tool 1.0.2.
-My question is, could someone decompile, then recompile the stock 4.0.3 mms.apk, then try to search via the magnifying glass at the bottom? Mine always FC's when i hit search. Thanks for the help guys.
also, i cannot decompile with dependencies, as it tells me that the framework-res.apk isn't the correct dependant, try again. decompiling without dependants seems to work fine, but i have a feeling i'll have to be able to get it with dependants since i think the search function uses external sources.
Exactly same problem with gingerbread mms.apk from LG Optimus Black.
If I retouch images or smali code, no problem at all... but when try to modify a .xml inside /values/ and then replace resources.asrc, search function returns a FC!!!!
It must be a format problem, but how to bypass this issue?
Regards.

I bet on recompiling, you are including extra XML files you never edited. Apktool has a nasty bug of adding random extra '\' to files. Check your edited files too.
Hmmmm odd, apkmultitool doesn't introduce the bug you report. And I blacked out a stock 4.0.4 apk and search is fine.
good day.
lol i forgot about this thread. I fixed it a long time ago Turned out to be a bug in the version of apktool i was using.

You need to check the error and see whats wrong with the framework file. Also you just want a stock framework file with crt on? Also what are you using to compile and decompile

I was using apk manager 4.9, and I have no idea how to read the log.
I attached my framework-res. It's stock from FD19, I probably should have specified.
If no one gets to it, I'll mod it when I get home.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
All done. I tested on my phone. After I replaced the apk, I had to manually restart the phone for it to work. I placed your apk in a zip file before I uploaded, so make sure you unzip your apk before putting it back on your phone.
Thank you so much, it works very well.
Now I'd just like to know how you did it. Coming from a clean computer with nothing installed, what would I need to decompile an apk, edit it, and compile it again? I'm trying to get a handle on the whole thing to do some development myself.
Try and upgrade to Apk Manager 5.02 since I just de-compiled and then compiled your apk file without an issue. Also try and update everything associated with it like your java... But it seems quite fine to me
Edit: just tried yours again as well as removing animation I lowered autobrightness which is something I do on all my roms for better battery life.. Try that mod next

Do I have to do anything to set it up or is it good to go from install? Should I restart my computer?

Can anyone fill me in on details of how to edit java executable files? I would like to remove the GPS icon from the notification bar in the ROM I am using and the best I could come up with is this: The file I need to change is in system/framework/services.jar
Better yet, does anyone have a flashable zip with an edited services file that has no GPS icon? I would like one that works with Sense 3.0 ROMs.
If you use gimp or photoshop its pretty easy just make the GPS.png file or what ever its named in the framework-res.apk and make it transparent.
Then zip the app and sign it with a META-INF signer.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Or you could replace the picture itself with an empty picture so that when GPS is on and so are other radios, there won't be a random empty space there. Also, to explain how to edit the "java executable", let me explain how java works
So the reason that java is great is that its cross platform. But how? So when a .jar file is created, that's actually not 100% compiled itself, its more like 60/70% of the way there. And that's where the JRE comes in. When you open a .jar file, the code is compiled the rest of the way into bytecode that the specific OS its running on can interpret.
So there is really no such thing as a "java executable". The "jar" format is basically just a ZIP file with partially compiled code, so what you need to do is extract all the files from it (use 7Zip or something) and then get a .class decompiler (I recommend JD-GUI, its free and one of the best out there. It also has an option to decompile all the files into .java files and packages it into a .zip) and then just look at the source code. The problem is to find where exactly the GPS icon is set up, because when you decompile it, its going to be a huge mass of folders and folders and folders of files

Then zip the app and sign it with a META-INF signer.

Thank you very much for your reply. The information I originally found pointed me in the wrong direction. I found the images I want to edit in the data\sysapp\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi. There are five .png files all starting with names like sym_gpsone_0_sprint.png. I've included some below.
All of the other modifications I have made to the ROM I am running involved using m10 and the fusion.apk or the Idlescreen_Base.apk. I know how to make those changes work on my phone. If I alter the .png images in the SystemUI.apk, I know how to zip it again, but I could use some instructions on how to sign it with a META-INF signer.

Thank you everyone who replied and tried to help me out. After searching around some more, I managed to make the modifications work.
Damn, ain't things easy once you know what you're doing? Anyhow, the results are below. No more GPS icon whether the GPS is on or off now.
Thanks again.
If anyone wants a brief tutorial just ask and I'll be glad to help.

Dude. So sorry, completely forget to post after telling you
But anyway, the process is explained in the following thread, as well as how to make a flashable zip in case anyone else is interested

No worries at all. Before you put this up, I figured it out. Part guidance, part stumbling though the dark and some luck led to success.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.
