so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.

Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

zz_stat_sys_signal_#_sprint this is what they are named substitute the number for the actual signal amount =]

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.

I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

so i wanna just make sure from one tiny thing. I want to make a theme for the cm7 beta 1 so i deleted everything except for systemui and the framework is that what i need to do? is there any other files i shouldnt have deleted?
Related
a few notes: all images were kanged from Overstew's ICS theme for Calkin's ROM.
I'm not a themer (hence the .apk files), but I love Jez2cool's Sydicate Ice ROM. So I took the images from Overstew's ICS theme and copied them to the appropriate Syndicate Ice 1.1 apks. No other changes were made.
Crap. Can't link to images (or the framework-res.apk (which is over 8megs) ) because I haven't posted enough. Ummm, bear with me here... Any suggestions on how to get link up?
Nice work! Hope to see more work from you... the locals are ravenous for more themes... I think if u post about 8 more posts throughout the threads you will be able to post that framework...
File is too big to post. Would love to get the mediafire link up for everyone tho.

yes that's all you need. If you want take a look at the updater script, in the Meta-infs/Google/com folder i believe? It'll have the language there needed to tell cwm what to do, think you don't want to use just a standard notepad app to write as it may fail.

You don't know about UOT kitchen? Also you should read up on theming since the two things you are asking for can easily be done by you. Its just a matter of changing PNG files within the apk.

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?
-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk
Thanks!

I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.

Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.
Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?
Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?
My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

OK so I'm trying to learn how to them but I a little stuck. OK so I opened framework. A pk then all the drawables made all my changes. I changed the dialer the text select and all of the top icons like batt status and a whole bunch of stuff. Then i made a zip. Of the framework folder and the meta.inf but it would trybtp install the ROM. So I had to re flash my ROM. Then what I did was I took the meta.inf from another theme. And made that into a zip along with my framework folder. This made some of the changes that I made but not all of them. For ex didn't change the batt colors. But it changed the dialer. Didn't change non of the toggles at the top but it changed the pop up browser... Help plzz.

A ROM's updater-script is a lot different than a themes. The reason it failed is because a ROM's script checks for certain files before flashing (such as the kernel, certain apps, etc...). When it saw your zip didn't have it, it aborted the flash.

Wow, didn't know I was known here lol. I accidentally came here. I meant to go to T-Mobile s2 but came to s3 lol. Glad I could help anyway. I wouldn't mod a ROM's updater-script. You're better off using someone else's theme and replacing your own files with there's. Which of course, you already did so you're on the right track.
