Hi mates,
First of all, I would like to say "thank you" to Team Xperia for producing such a great ICS ROM. However, I found that if I read my SMS, the black background with "Team Xperia" logo will overlap some sms texts. Could someone here teach me how to remove that logo? Thank you.
Cheers,
clyang
Why not contact team Xperia and ask them. They made the Rom they would know.

Solved by myself.. Here is the step:
1. copy /system/app/com.sonyericsson.defaultruntimethemes.apk to your PC
2. open com.sonyericsson.defaultruntimethemes.apk with WinRAR
3. extract res/drawable-hdpi/blue_application_background.jpg to your desktop and open with MSPAINT
4. paint the Logo to black and save
5. replace the edited file back to apk file
6. copy com.sonyericsson.defaultruntimethemes.apk back to /system/app
7. change file permission to rw-r--r--
8. reboot and all done!

I'm here. Now I'm guessing you want to change default cm theme to your preference on boot. You will have to theme framework. Give me the theme you want and the rom. I will change the system theme.

AHA !
Please Follow ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/o1f9abd4a47c94t/CM-Z1.apk )
Thnaks
IS THAT RELATED ?
You can start by just copying and extracting the framework-res.apk in the system/framework folder of any theme. I recommend using a stock deodexed theme template as this will give you a good foundation to build from. After you extract the framework-res.apk look in the res/drawable-mdpi folder. That is where most of the icons will be that are used for theming. You can pull any of the .png's and edit them this way. DO NOT mess with any of the icons labeled .9.png when editing the framework-res.apk this way (see info on .9's below). And don't (generally) don't change the size of the png's you edit.
When getting started the best way I found to figure out which images are used where was to flash the same theme as the one I am editing to my phone so I can look at the phone and try to figure out where the icon (image) is being used. If I still can't find it then I will take my best guess and color the image something bright like red or another color thats not used in the theme I'm making. Then I put the color edited icon in my theme and flash it (see below) then go through my phone and find whats red.
After you edit all the .png's you want and are ready to put your theme back together:
Open a copy of the original theme that you used as a base and open the system/framework/framework-res.apk in 7zip. DO NOT extract it. Just open it. Then go to res/drawable-mdpi (or whatever folder you edited the icons in) and place your edited icons back into this folder. After you finish, close 7zip, rename your new theme so you don't confuse it with the theme template you are using and flash away.
I'm not going to go into great detail about how to do the things below because I simply don't have the time. I have given you enough information that you should be able to google and look for guides on youtube that will get you through the process below.
When editing .9.png's (commonly refered to as .9's) you need to pick up some software. First you'll need to download and install the jdk and jre. Google them. They are on Java's web site. Once you get those installed you'll need to get apk tool or apk manager, I prefer apk tool myself, and decompile the framework-res.apk to be edited.
If you edit the .9's but stay away from that one pixel wide border you won't have to patch your .9's. This is what I do. When I open a .9 to edit the first thing I do is draw a selection box around the image making sure to stay clear of the one pixel wide border. This way all my changes stay inside the selection box. If you ever do decide you need to patch your .9's there is a program called draw9patch that will do this for you.
Happy Theming!!
You just wrote your own guide.

hey,
i always wanted to have pop-up messaging for JB. so after a bit of rummaging through xda, i found them. These were taken from the CM10 nightlies.
ONLY FOR JB ROMS
WHAT DO THEY CONTAIN
1. Usual theme with white background and dark font.
2. Dark background with light font.(holo theme).
WELL, THATS WONDERFUL. HOW DO I DO IT???
1. Rename the file of your choice to mms.apk and copy it in system/folder.
2. Give it permissions (rw-r--r--) or 0644 and reboot.
3. Enjoy and dont forget to thank the dev.

Use a root explorer and press and hold on the file to get the options, there you should find the 'permissions' option.
There, in the first vertical column, tick all 3. In the 2nd, tick only the top one. Apply and reboot.
Hope it helped.

Hello to everybody!!!
Finally the mod is complete!!!
A true new vanilla (holo stock) style theme is ready and can be installed on our device like a simple application!!!
No root required, no change in system directory, no strange operation to do! just install the APK in attachment.
You will have a new theme in the list, it is similar to stock JB theme.
It is for Italian version (E975) but it should works on other versions too! (please send feedback about)
Enjoy!!!!! and hello to everybody!!!!
I will be happy to receive feedback.
P.S. I found that is possible to make and install how much theme we want on our phone! LG rules this time!
EDIT
in the next pages you can found and download other very nice themes created by Syhon! (iphone,xperia Z, sense 5 and many more)
thanks to Syhon
EDIT 2
in attachment kit kat theme by me!!! I hope you enjoy!

Can´t you just name differently? I.e "LGHome3_Theme_Holo".
What tools do you use to compile and recompile?

Hello,
simply APK tool. I've tried to rename it (not only the pack, but decompiling and re-compiling the entire smali content) but then, it was not recognized by the launcher. Now I'm full of work and I can't spent time on this. maybe in the next week I can attempt to make a better mod.
Anyway, without tool, you can just substitute icon you want in APK file with winrar
bye
I threw in a bunch of new icons in "drawable-xhdpi" with winrar and then pushed the apk back to system but it didnt work so i guess i have to rename all icons to corresponding original names if i want it to work Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my LG-E975 using xda app-developers app
Ok. So here are my conclusions:
- It looks great and it is the best thing you can install on your optimus g
- You used odexed file so it need corresponding .odex file which probably means that you cannot change name without: a) deodexing or b) using correct .odex file.
- You used icons with too small resolution so they are not looking so good as they should be

Yes you are right! mine is just an idea to implement. I will try to deodex the file, modify it and to make a copy as a new theme. If it will work, for sure a better theme can be done, But now I don't wont to spent time on one of the stock theme (as the mode work now), just becouse I dont wont to corrupt any file in system directory to avoid problem with future update
next week for sure I will have much time to implement it. If someone could help I will be very gratefull

Hello to everybody!!! this is my first mod for this phone. I've modified stock biz theme to trasform it on a stock JB holo theme
You need a root devices. Just copy the attached file in system/app folder and replace the original biz theme apk. (remember to make a backup before!!!!!!)
Please be sure to assign RW-R-R permission. Then restart device!!!
It is for Italian version (E975) I don't know if works on other versions
I've no much time, so I will be really greatfull if someone can found a way to create new theme without overwrite existing ones.
Theme can have some imperfections, for example app drawer in landscape is not modified. Please consider this a beta.

Hello, i've tryied again and the files in attachment still works. First step is to extract all the files in the same folder. Then you will have 1 zip and 3 other file. Now just extract the zip one (I've used win zip).
Anyway... In the next hours i will post the new version! So you can simply wait
In the new version you don't have to substitute a stock theme... But you have just to copy the apk in system folder to have a all new vanilla extra theme! coming very soon!

Hi,
I ve updated the iphone theme previously posted to add more icons, application background transparency and new drawer icon.
Also i port the icons and background from crystal 2 theme (originaly made by DaRk_dOg for cm roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951690 ) which is the best theme ever.
So when I was making myself a signature file image last night, in honor of my new Recognized Contributor status, I wanted to use the font that xda-developers has in the logo. I was very happy to find that @Ganesh A made up this true type font and shared it with us! Go to his thread, please click Thanks for this nice gift, and download "All Continuum.Zip" to get all three versions of the XDA font in one zip file.
What to do with it to install on your Windows PC:
1. Open the zip. No need to extract.
2. You'll see three files inside: Light, Medium, and Bold.
3. Double click on any one of them, and then click the install button.
4. That's it! This will install that font in your Windows programs. For example, on my system now I have the xda font in Word and Photoshop. Nice! You can also use it in a ROM if you want, or in theming.
5. Do the same to install each of the three (Bold, Medium, Light).
I'm surprised more people haven't found this. Nice work, Ganesh A. (Folks, please click thanks for him. There's over a thousand downloads and at the time of this post, only 18 Likes.)

Hey guys, i figured i should make this step by step guide to show people how to theme hour systemui.apk file. This is for example, making your status bar transparent or changing status bar icons... Etc. This guide will be fully fleshed out, even a day one android user should understand.
NOTE:
MIND YOU GUYS I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR-
Bricking
exploding
data loss
loss of hair
or any other problems*
you do this at your own risk,though if you follow exactly, there should be no problems.
RULES:
1. One rule only: Backup any file you use. You have been warned.
PHONE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Fully rooted
2. Busybox installed
3. Need to be doedexed
APP REQUIREMENTS:
1. ninjamorph. (by stephen. free version is fine)
2. Root explorer. (or any other root enabled browser)
3. {optional} any photo editor/resizer
THE GUIDE:
1. Open root explorer
2. Navigate to /system/app
3. Scroll down till you find the file SystemUI.apk
4. Copy (do not move it, just copy) it to anywhere you like on your internal sdcard
5. Close root browser and open ninjamorph
6. Click start checks and allow root permissions
7. Click*new project*after it initializes this will create the Folder*Androidthemes*on your sd card
8. Locate where you just copied the systemui.apk on the internal sdcard and click on it
9. Allow the app to extract the apk (may take a few*seconds)
10. once it has extracted on your SD inside the*Androidthemes*folder there will be a sub-folder called Workspace*thats where all your extracted apks*NEED*to be
11. After extraction is complete, you should be presented with 6 files/folders as bellow:
View attachment 2740483
12. android manifest.xml<-DONT TOUCH
Assests<-DONT TOUCH
META-INF<-DONT TOUCH
res<-OPEN THIS
resources.arsc<-DONT TOUCH
13. When you open res, you will be presented with many folders, in this tutorial, we will concentrate on the drawable-hdpi folder. Be aware, most of the folders in the res folder are actually pretty useful for more modifications.
View attachment 2740485
14. Once drawable-hdpi is opened, you will be presented with many pictures. Look through them and identify the ones you want to modify.
15. You can either edit the pictures from ninjamorph by press and hold on the picture and pressing edit (this will give you basic edits like colour, height, rotate & width). Or you can use a photo editor/resizer to modify the picture beforehand and then just replacing the old picture with the new one using ninjamorph.
16. Once you got all images you want themed go back to*Ninjamorph*home and press*FINISH PROJECT
17. Press on the systemui folder that shows up.
18. Let it create the package
19. Click yes on the next three confirm action text boxes. This will remove the old apk in the internal sd and replace it with the new one you just made, zipalign the apk and delete the systemui folder in /sdcard/android themes/workplace.
20. Locate the new systemui.apk, it will have replaced the old one that you copied from /system/app in step 4
21. Move it to /system
22. Set it's permissions to rw-r--r--
23. Move it to /system/app and when it asks to overwrite, click yes.
24. Reboot phone
25. Enjoy your modifications.. VICTORY
