[Q] How to install a new theme .apk file - HTC One X

Hi guys
Sorry for the real noob question, but wondering if someone can shed some light on this for me?
I am running viper rom and installing a custom theme from their development thread, having downloaded the apk file and put to root of SD card, I then progressed to ES file explorer to install, it installed however has not changed the theme.
I have gone into personalise tray and cannot find it there??
Have i done something wrong?
Many Thanks

where did you get this .apk from?
if you installed a statusbar theme.apk, go to:
tweaks->statusbar (2nd tab)->statusbar theme support->theme pack
if its a sense theme, go to:
tweaks->sense(3rd tab)->icon pack
..after you installed the .apk
When you are in the iconpack or theme pack view you can click "get more" in the upper right to get more themes from our hub.
You can acess this hub also when yu open the app drawer and search for venom hub.
Have a look at this animated gifs:

I am not able ^^ I'M SORRY
I have never flashed anything by cwm
Dont work for me, i use root exlorer to replace those 2 apk, reboot the phone but nothing changes. I really like the dockbar
Mate, it's very easy to make a cwm flashable zip. Download one of the other themes and simply replace the files in the zip (and delete the ones you don't want).
Really nice theme!
Try maybe speak with Brotuck and modify StockMod Plus because you will get CWM flashable version with 5lock screen.

That looks really really nice - can I use it with stock rom (so not deodex)? Dont wanna try it cause I already did with another Theme which results in a boot-loop :>

You remember what the font name is? I can pull it from the ROM, you might be able to create a font folder on the internal memory and have it find it there. (That's what I did when I wanted some of the tones from the E4GT, made a /sdcard/media folder with the contents that I was looking for.)

Its called comix....I h a d used a 3rd party downloader....to install the the package and then androzip to open the zip file to the font...
You can download fonts from the play store and install them from the settings.
I downloaded Fontomizer from the store and selected the font to download then installed and set it in the settings menu of the phone.

So all know, the Theme-Engine in PAC have some Issue and many Themes not work
But any User report, any Themes works.
How to find out, a Theme work:
Pick any from Google Play Store and then go to Settings -> Design
If you see a Preview-Picture, so you can try and test. Next look if all was the them can work. At last test Reboot in Recovery and Shutdown.
If you have no Issue, then report here with link to Playstore.

Hmmmm...this is the step for sideload installer if you have a bunch of themes in your SD card....
1. Using Root explorer (or any file manager that have thumbnails view) go to the folder where you save your themes....
2. look carefully at the themes....which ever themes that show themes thumbnails, that is the themes that will work on PAC 4.4....just install and apply that themes...if there no thumbnails (only green android logo) then themes will not work.....
MoKee have an app to convert any theme to the new standard.
It looks a bit complicated but is not too difficult and it works

Thank you for the heads up, confirmed by me as well.

Any way to remove grey circle background from lockscreen shortcuts?

If anyone could offer some advice I'd be very grateful!
I used Unicon to apply an icon pack across my device, so my home screen currently looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My lockscreen on the other hand displays the shortcut icons in grey circles:
What I'd like to do is remove those grey circles such that the shortcuts look like the ones on my home screen. I do have G3 Tweaksbox but it doesn't seem to offer a solution to this.
Thanks!
Open "lgkeyguard.apk" in /system/priv-apps/
via apk-decompile / winrar (extract the res/drawable-xxxhdpi folder)
Search the picture corresponding with the background you want to change.
Copy the recompiled apk back after recopying the picture.
Done.

Great, thanks! Unfortunately I've never dealt with decompiling/recompiling apk's before, so I'll have to approach this stuff carefully. I actually can't find lgkeyguard.apk in /system/priv-app/ using Root Browser though - is it possible that is has a different name / location in Lollipop?
/system/priv-app/LGKeyguard.apk
is the exact path for me (KK 4.4.2)
You could do a search for it using your filebrowser if it isn't there in LP.
Replacing pictures in apk files via Winrar is rather save.
I'd suggest that if you haven't tinkered with apk's b4.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
