I have tried numerous jb roms based off cm10 and every time I try to apply themes thru the supposed built in theme engine, I get the "this theme was not compiled properly" so I do the whole process of apply system, reboot, apply theme (which then again gives the error) and reboot again anyway and still nothing. I've tried alien Droid, the sgt7 and Hellfire roms so far but none of them allow me to theme. Any ideas?
I'm in the same boat

Are you installing KF specific themes, like this one? I know a lot of the themes out there are made for the phone UI, but I'm not sure how they would be affected using JB in phone UI. I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the LCD density, though.
Back when the theme switcher was first introduced, I believe the way around that was to change the LCD density to a phone's LCD density, apply the theme and change it back.

You need to chance the DPI from 160 to 140
here is a zip file(page 96 on twa_priv cm10 rom) you can flash before you add the theme it chance the DPi to 140
after add the theme you flash the same zipfile again an it chance the DPi to 160
read this you can find it in the cm10 rom of twa_priv on page 96.
i used it with the theme gobalt from the playstore an it workt perfect.
I finally got the DPI to change. To make it easier for anyone else that wants to install a theme i modified the Toggle zip that twa_priv made so that it will toggle DPI from 160 to 140 and back. so just flash in recovery and then install the theme you want then flash it again to restore it back

Worked a charm! Thank you soooo much.

JVH, JVO and JVP themes can be found in this thread!
I was using ock's gingerbread theme for JVK and really liked versions 1-2. I'm not really interested in "all in one" themes and prefer things to be a bit more modular.
This is a "from scratch" theme, decompiled with apkmanager with graphics from AOSP source.
Also likely to only work with deodexed roms I would assume.
What this does:
* Changes the images in framework-res and SystemUI, these include the window frame shape, status bars and various other graphics.
* Changes a few text colours to properly match the new graphics.
* For the moment, has AOSP stock battery mod. (not percentages).
What this will never do:
* Change your lockscreen.
* Add more lockscreens.
* Have the extended power menu. (iirc these are "unsafe" reboots anyway)
* Include the overscroll glow.
* Include the CRT off animation.
If you're after these features I recommend popping over to ock's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010324
But, but, but, I really like the overglow effect!
dhiru1602's stand alone mod should work with these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935&highlight=overscroll+glow
TODO:
- Media scanner's entry in the notification dropdown is coloured wrong. (part of TW?)
- Recolour the data connection icon on the power menu.
- Odd browser combo box size error.
- Adjust xml based colours to match AOSP.
Screenshots
Always useful to have a backup when trying new themes, so there's an "uninstall" which will replace the files back to stock.
CWM3 Compatible Installs:
Main theme:
* Install theme - aosp-jvb-vX.Xs.zip
* Samsung stock JVB theme - stock-jvbs.zip
Lockscreen:
* Install AOSP lock - aosp-lock-jvb-s.zip
* Install Samsung lock - glass-lock-jvb-s.zip
MediaProvider: (SDCard scanner)
* Install aosp themed mediaprovider - aospthemed-mediaprovider-jvb-X.X-s.zip
* Install Samsung stock mediaprovider - stock-mediaprovider-jvbs.zip
Changelog:

It couldn't hurt to give it a shot just replacing them. Just backup your current ones.

If you're on JVK you probably shouldn't flash this. I believe they are a little different. (you may see minor graphic bugs, etc). If you pop over to ock's thread I believe v1-v2 were for JVK.

"E:signature verification failed"...any ideas?
in fact, i only want to make the signal and wi-fi bars when avalable green instead of the stock light grey.
@sargorn great job with this AOSP theme.. love it. Right now, I cant use the files you provided because I'm using a modded framework-res.apk which includes chinese. Im trying to get your look though. So far, I made the status bar black, but cant seem to get it right. Is it possible if I give you my framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, you can mod it for me? Sorry to ask you such a big request...thanks

You're probably using the stock kernel? You need to flash a custom gingerbread kernel and/or custom rom (basically you need CWM recovery) This theme is only for deodexed roms, so if you just flashed stock via kies or otherwise this probably won't work.
For a deodexed stock rom check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Or you can try a custom rom. Check the Development forum for those.

If you just want a minor change, can I recommend the UOT Kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
It's fairly easy to use (again, you need a deodexed rom for this), grab the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ from your phone and the SystemUI.apk from /system/app/.
Choose whichever bits you want, then upload those two files and it will generate an update you can flash with CWM.
I think everything except the Boot animation should work on the galaxy s.

I can give it a shot, but without being able to correctly test it, it might be a bit hit and miss.
It's actually not so difficult to do yourself. There is a very good tutorial in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
For the images required I grabbed them from android aosp source, or you could simply decompile my framework-res with apk manager.
Tweaking a few things to match the AOSP xml, few colours, sizes, etc.
Will run it tomorrow on my phone and see if I find any issue then upload it if it's ok.
No problems with it, 1.5 is uploaded. Some new screenshots too!
sargorn, you somehow read mi mind with this them. I'm playing with framework pieces for weeks now trying to find the stock gingerbread look for SGS .
Your theme is looking excellent from all points of view.
Anyway ... please tell me what you did in order to fix the combo box bug in browser .. thanks.
So the thing I enjoy most about slimbean is the "night" setting and the smaller sizes.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the part that determines the general sizes is the LCD density, and for slim its at 245.
Are there any ROMs that also use the same LCD density (if that is what's causing the small size)?
I'm mainly wondering because it uses its own Gapps package so that it could do this night mode where everything is black.
But I want to use the new gmail and other gapps that just came out more than I want night mode
You don't have to use the SlimBean GApps with the Slim ROMs, but have a look at CarbonROM (has Dark Carbon settings and you can change LCD density).

I use LiquidSmooth (what Carbon is based off of) and used to use their method to change the DPI. But recently, I've discovered the XPosed Per-App DPI settings included in the Rom. With it I can manually adjust the DPI of any program to make it whatever I want. The thing I like about this is that I don't have to mess with the Play Store (no more errors when trying to download apps). That, and some apps don't play well with a modified dpi on our phone.
I can go through and make google calendar 240 dpi and see how it functions, then change it to 190 an see how it works. I change Nova's setting to make the launcher look more like Slim Rom's (the Rom that made me fall in love with switching the DPI). It works really well and is worth a test drive, in my opinion.

So I tried to install it, and I got this assert failed problem, which links to this solution. Did you flash the odex, deodex, or 3rd rom? I'm just confused, since I would have to install a gapps for the 4.1.2 JB. did you do any of that?

Hello,
A great colleague of mine who also owns a xperia S like me
loaded SlimNasomi rom (I think 4.2.2) and did change lcd DPI.
Screen displays more info and icons are smaller. Look nice.
Is it a way to do it with official 6.2.b.1.96 rom ?
I found a thread on a forum about root'ing the phone and
updating a file build.prop in /system, updating ro.sf.lcd_density
I even found an app 'Google Play DPI Fix Tool'
Did anyone already try to play with LCD DPI's ?
Thanks. Cheers from Belgium,
Thierry

It changes build.prop to desired dpi. I use it because it's faster and it really works. I tried on stock ROM, OpenSEMC and letama's AOSP 4.3.
And what is the range of values to stay in to avoid an endless bootloop?
yes that's the question, What value did you use for. in .200 fw i used a lcd density changer soft (don't remember the name) and guess what i got endless loop. I used 244 or something like that.
I usually use 240 and I didn't have any problems with that dpi.
It is standard Android dpi so most apps work just fine. Stock ROM look good but it has some minor offsets (gradient in notification bar as far as I remember).
I have been talking about this in the themes section in an old thread. I keep seeing people have issues with the dpi apps. I personally just edit build prop manually as it is not hard. I use Anttek explorer for my file browsing and edits. I would also suggest you try Xposed framework and per app dpi module. The magic LCD number is 192 for tablet mode. If you set home to 160 it goes into tablet mode but the status bar will not combine at the bottom. There is also another xposed module that forces tablet mode and works well but is still buggy. You also loose small apps.
There is a way to force tablet mode with out the dpi change but I have to figure out how to do that and even then not sure it will actually work. Need to ask some smali experts to help me.
... and what about if in endless bootloop ? ... :crying:
You must make backup before any modifcations
Yea it is a great idea to have a backup when messing with the system. If something goes wrong you can just go back to where you started.
how can i customizable the Softkeys (root available) i want smaller and transparent Softkeys
xposed can this, but its not workable in the moment... so i seach a alternate method
any idea?
+1, would love this. Changing the DPI of the whole system doesn't really provide the right results as things like the camera are then borked.
with Stock, the only one chance to change DPI without issue is with xposed but we have to wait, hopefully we get it workable. Or we get a fully working CM12.1 or AOSP or any of the both based.
so i hope we have a other way to customize Softkeys and other for the current situation
This flashable theme has a setting to enable 36 dpi navbar at least (you can change this setting independently of the other theme settings via Aroma installer).
if you have root available modify your build.prop and swiftkey will work normally.
Also don't forget to do this
"adb shell wm density reset"
if you have modified your dpi without root with adb before
edit
I'm sorry I must have misread Softkeys with Swiftkey...but anyway, i use 540 dpi and everything works fine
It's in the framework.apk , i'll check it out when i have the time . Easy thing to modify
The build prop lists soft keys color, but it is on hex and I dont know about it. Maybe someone could have a look.

I will add soon the option to change the navbar height to 24, 30, 36 and 42dp (stock) and the navbar icon size even for stock theme. If someone to learn how to do it the navbar size is set by framework-res.apk/res/values/dimens.xml line 21 and 22.

You can:
1) Reduce dpi to 530. This is still in xxxhdpi range, and it looks better than 640.
2) Switch to AOSP-based rom.
And, finally, the hardest one:
3) Copy all stock apk's resources from xxxhdpi to xxhdpi. Find apps, in which layout is irreparably broken in xxdpi, decompile and mod their layout with apktool (or Virtuous Ten Studio, as it's a complete IDE for decompiling and modding apk's).

Ok, thank you very much :good:
So i think that i will test AOSP based ROM and i will tell you if it as working
Edit:
@ YaDr
Can you tell me what AOSP based ROM is not based on CM dev ?
Finally, after my tests:
For now, its not possible to change propeply and permanently the DPI resolution on stock based ROM like Cloudy ROM or Lion ROM.
Its work on customs ROM like CM & AOKP & others like Paranandroid, Omni, Vanilla, SlimBeam, MIUI.........(if you don't see an option after install the ROM or on the main thread of it).
For exemple, on Euphoria ROM, there is an option to change DPI display
