Stock rom theming...is it possible? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am on stock yakju 4.0.4 with root access. I was wondering if it was possible to theme it still or would it be better to be on a rom and then theme the phone.
Ideally what I wanted to do was just change the icons in notification bar (battery, wifi, cell phone strength).

Do a Nandroid backup and start theming!

The stock ROM is odexed. It would be EXTREMELY difficult to theme it. That said, there are some deodexed "stock" ROMs in the dev section, which are almost identical to the stock ROM.

Try this one. You should be able to easily theme that.

Good job mate
Bravo mec
Looks awesome!! Exactly what I was looking for, but I don't understand how to 'apply using CWM'..
Do I need to replace the original files with your files using root explorer for example?
Well done buddy, looks so clean.

CWM is a custom recovery image that you can use to 'Flash' roms/themes/mods etc. Check out the dev section for a howto and more info. Awesome theme btw, it's got the stock look but with a much more refined feel, great work
Forgive me for this, i did search but in my experience forum searches somehow miss out what im looking for, can I just install clockworkmod through rom manager or is it more complicated than that? Im on rooted stock ke7 so I understand I'd need a deodexed rom such as lightening rom before I did this, although I don't know what deodexed means lol
Awesome! I love the whole look and feel of it. Amazing, keep on the good work and for all your Launcher Pro / ADW users, you really have to try this Go Launcher EX. It has the same customisation. However the screen transistions are a lot smoother!
Just what ive been waiting for, lol this will be the reason i actually bother to flash a custom rom.

Clockwork is installed via Chainfires kernel for KE7 or KE2 roms, flash this for clockwork mod but if you want to use this theme first flash Villainrom and deodexed just means the rom can be themed really.
Hi together, I'm new on this forum and I have a question about this theme. Do I need to root my phone or not. If yes, then where can I find some theme without rooting my phone, because I dont want to lose my warranty! And sry for my bad english!
Changelog 01-06-2011:
- Shadow added on my icons inside my go launcher theme, see screenshots!
Didn't work for me on Lightening 1.1, everything force close and the phone wouldn't respond. All is well though as I have just flashed VillainRom and flashed this theme as well, this theme is exactly my style. Not all flashy and glowy. Its perfect! Thanks.

I second that. It doesnt work on Lightening even though its deodexed. Installing Villan now just to have this
Maybe i am doing it wrong, but i cant flash your .Zip file, cause cwm said its an invalid file. So, what can i do? I love this theme so much!

Use this kernel and it should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
But I dont get it.. Installed Villain 1.1 and still no luck.
The lockscreen is all messed up. I have the pattern lock and the dots are not within the circels but outside. Also Im not getting the awesome lockscreen you have.
I do and did have widgetlocker installed, but even if i disable or delete it Im not getting the lockscreen.
After flashing the zip i still have the touchwiz interface. Only thing that changed is messing up my pattern lock and changing the battery icon etc.
Also the messages are still rounded and not sqare as shown.
Or should I install your modified Go Launcher to get the phone like shown on the pictures in first post?
Could you please make a step by step how-to?
Changelog 02-06-2011:
- Some icons updated
Great Job. Can you please change network, Data and Wifi notifications to blue color like battery color (so all notifications will be consistent).
Thanks again.

Themes for Stock ICS rooted

Does anyone do themes for stock ICS? i notice all themes are for any other rom. Soon, one i get some bravery i will flash a rom, but in the meantime, i was wondering if i can change the theme. Like the way the notification bar looks, different battery and stuff. Or is this wishful thinking?

this isnt going to work for stock rooted.
OP: For a theme you will need a deodexed ROM. Even if its a stock deodexed, but you need deodexed.
Thank you blackangst.
I will read more into deodexed rom and get myself familiar with it before doing anything.
does Rom Toolbox theme work for stock? i noticed that app on the market and all that it does, including Icon changing, themes and other stuff. Would this work with Stock ICS or do i still have to have a custom rom?

Yea i am rooted. What should i back up? i have already one a nanbackup on the 16 of this month. If it screws up, i can retore with such backup correct?
Well nevermind, with official ICS this app wont. I was close to buy it, but no need to. The framework on original ICS is odexed, so i need a deodexed rom to mod any of the framework.

[REQUEST]Add just a menu button to the Nav bar?

I'm currently running Viscious jb ROM. I miss the features on aokp to customize the Nav bar. Is there a quick/flashable way to just add a menu button? I would like to have them in this order. Back, home, menu, tasks. I know there are soft key mods out but they also have battery themes to them, correct? I just want to flash a new nav bar only. Thanks!

I tried the mod from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29153-mod-411-jelly-bean-soft-key-mods-with-menu-and-search-stockbb/. It worked for me on stock 4.1.1, not sure if it would work for the ROM you're running.
It doesn't mod the battery and adds just the menu key, but it also doesn't put the four nav keys in the order you want.
Thanks for the reply. I found that thread before. If there's no easy way the way I want it, looks like I'll have to modify it then. I'm just too lazy these days

Can someone please help me out to create one for stock JB 4.1.1 JRC03C thank you.

Did you just flash it thru cwm or you had to modify the apk (decompile - recompile it) to make it work on stock rom. Thank you.

But why would you want to do that? The lack of menu button has it's purpose.

I just flashed it back when I was on bigxie's deodexed stock 4.1.1 (JRO03C), and it worked perfectly for me. But like always, it's probably a good idea to make a nandroid to be safe before flashing.

Already tried it and it didn't work maybe because my rom is completely stock odexed. About the backup I always do it, and I even backed up the SystemUI separately, thank you for the information.

Not many mods will work for you if you're on an odexed ROM, I'm guessing that's what went wrong.

[MOD] [STOCK] [ODEXED] Enable QuickSettings Statusbar for 2.17 Stock

THIS MOD IS FOR STOCK ODEXED ROMS ONLY WITH 2.17 BASE
This is a small modification I did to my SystemUI.odex in order to enable the quicksettings tab in the notification area of the status bar.
This mod only enables the settings already made by HTC into the ROM. It only unlocks this functionality, nothing more.
I did this for myself, and I thought I could share to all users with stock rom but rooted.
What this MOD do:
Unlocks QuickSettings tab in notifications area
Shows the settings already built by HTC
What this MOD doesn't do:
It is not an Extended Quicksettings MOD
It doesn't provide any additional setting not made by HTC
It can't enable/disable items or change the order of them
It doesn't come with an additional app to customize the items
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted stock 2.17 rom
Bootloader unlocked
Custom Recovery
INSTALLATION:
Enter into recovery mode and flash the provided zip.
If you don't have recovery or unlocked bootloader, you can't flash this MOD. If requested, I could provide instructions to manually copy the files needed.

Yes, I could, but there are many deodexed roms with this enabled.
If you don't want to flash any custom rom, but use a deodexed "stock" rom, I could just attach a zip for that. I didn't think this could be usefull for anybody

I don't want to make a tutorial here. If I do, I'll have to support many issues with tools and enviroments.
But, if you are used to edit smali files, its not really difficult.
(Im not at my PC now, and I cant remember well the names)
I edited StatusBarFlags.smali and enabled HTC_QUICKSETTINGS flag.
I edited QuickSettings.smali and enabled all the options in onFinished method (I left disabled volume because it wasn't very usefull)
Then I odexed the classes.dex with dexopt-wrapper. You could see more info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9369187&postcount=4
Ok! ye can you post it I only need that file thx man

Deodexed QuickSettings
For people using a stock 2.17 deodexed rom.
I think it will also work with any 2.17 base custom rom, but as I said before, many custom roms have this already enabled.
@stassen I didn't test this. Please comeback and tell us if it worked fine (it should )

Well saw this in some other thread. That when you have no notification. And you open the bar, the EQS will be shown automaticaly
For example. And man, dont worry, its just a suggestion.
This is not the default behavior of the status bar on stock rom.
I prefer to leave it default here. Otherwise, I should move the thread to the "developement" section Also, I would have to research how to do that modification. Maybe I will some day, it could be usefull
I installed ODEXED_QS_2.17-V1.zip on by stock ODEXED Rom and it seem's to have completly wiped out my status bar. I did a factory reset and it did not help. What can I do to get everything back to the way it was?

What version your stock ODEXED Rom is? This MOD only works for 2.17.401.2 odexed (or deodexed)
If you have other version, you only neeed to restore your SytemUI.apk back on your rom. To do that just open the zip I did and replace the SystemUI.apk with yours.
If you have 2.17.401.1, please provide logcat message.
I went ahead and installed a custom ROM. I was running latets OTA Orange Poland.

how do I install a theme on my Galaxy S3 ?

I have been with iPhone and jailbroken since the beginning, I switched to the Galaxy S3 recently because everyone I know now has it, but I'm feeling regretful now as I cannot even figure out how to install a simple theme ?? My friend rooted my device, but I don't know where to go or what to look for as far as installing a theme ? Everything is just so much more complicating ???

The easiest way to go about theming if you really want to is going to an AOSP rom with theme switcher, like CM10. But if you want to stay on the stock rom, then this thread has all the themes and mods you'll ever need

I see where the themes are located, but how do know which one my rooted device will accept ? Example : should I be looking for NOVA. CM10, etc. or can I just install any theme I see and want ??

Well, since you're on the stock rom, looking for ones that say it's for the stock rom or similar is what you should get. For stock, it's usually a replacement framework file or systemui.apk.

You should read and look for more info first. But in the meantime, you can go to the play store and download a launcher, I recommend nova launcher, that will customize your device and make it look different than the stock mode. Try it
