I'm making a theme mainly an icon theme but I need help!
I do not know anything about making it into an apk!! Anyone who knows how to make apk or package a theme up into an apk please pm me or reply.
The image I attached is how my theme is going to look. I had to set the icons manually which took forever.

So I don't have to do any signing or decompiling of any sort?

The original ics theme had a nice looking lockscreen. The new one that fixes the black menus no longer has that lock screen. I would like to pull the one and put it in the other but cannot locate it in the zip. Forgive my noobishness and please help me out.

Pretty sure all of that is in framework-res.apk in system/framework.

*UPDATE*
I have now made the app-drawer semi-transparent like in Galaxy Ace+ or Galaxy SII. I have replaced the Touchwiz30Launcher.apk in the attatchments, so just re-download and replace it in system/app and change permissions to:
R W
R
R
and re-boot.
New screenshots below
Very similar to SGA+ now!
have a look...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone. Iv just recently registered for this forum, iv been visiting it quite a lot lately and trying many new things. Anyway to get to the point...
Iv downloaded and tried many Touchwizlauncher.apk and systemui.apk from various threads and iv modded a few things to make it look like how i wanted, and it looks remarkably close to the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus. I would just like to share the things that make my Ace look like the screens below for anyone who would like to use it.
I have made the dock transparent in the homescreen, and in the appdrawer. Also I edited the dropdown menu in systemui slightly on the bit where you slide it up and down. (see screenshots)
As i have said, iv been downloading and trying lots of different things so i cant remember which users i downloaded the original files from before i modded them, so i would like to apoligise but i would also like to thank the original makers. Credits go to original makers, i just slightly changed a few things as u can see in the screenshots. like transparent dock in the app drawer. also i edited the drop-down menu slightly.
Also, If anyone could take my Touchwiz30launcher.apk and make the appdrawer SEMI-TRANSPARENT instead of fully transparent that would be amazing!
Thankyou!
Note:
The zip is flashable through CWM
The Touchwiz30Launcher.apk and SystemUI.apk need to be replaced in system/app using root explorer and then you need to change the permissions. and reboot.
Make sure you download alternative launcher, like launcher pro, just in case things mess up. And make a backup of the touchwiz and systemui apk's before you replace them.
Enjoy!
Credits??

Ok just saying
But i think SGace + is diffrent
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
yeah you are right. The drop-down for the sga+ is slightly different, and the app drawer is semi-transparent. also the home screen page numbers are at the bottom.
if some1 could make the app drawer semi-transparent and move the homescreen page numbers to the bottom, it would look very very close to the sga+
Semi i can do
But numbers below not
Thats a hell of a lot modding

Hi all, i have this problem, i have found a theme from the market that i totally love apart from the settings background, which i have changed to one i like, i have done this before with no problems, however when i try to install it i get Xapp not installed, What could be the problem? thanks in advance
Have you edited the background in the themes apk and decompiled/recompiled? If you have you've broken the signature.

Hey guys.. so using (quite a lot) few different themes and flashables I nearly have a fully inverted CM10 ROM running now. The only thing I'm really missing now to complete my look is a proper holo black (transparent or not I don't mind) drop down status bar. Any of you fellow xda peeps know where I can find a flashable that will just theme the drop down only?
Cheers

I always just pull my SystemUI.apk and replace notification_header_bg.9.png and notification_panel_bg.9.png to make a fully blacked out (not transparent) drop down menu/status bar.

Step by step? I'm not that technical lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, and use a program like 7Zip or WinRAR to copy/paste the pngs in this zip (https://www.box.com/s/rzisk7efjj21r4bqunvz) to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder in the apk. Then paste the changed SystemUI.apk back to your system/app folder, set permissions, and reboot. That should give you a status bar that's completely blacked out (see attached screenshot).
As always, take precautions before doing this, just in case something got messed up along the way.
Much appreciated dude I shall no doubt get stuck lol.. god I love this place

Others, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but they are built in to an apk, so you would have to extract the apk, change the icons, and then reconsruct the apk.

I believe you're right. It's been a while since I've decompiled a launcher. In any event, if anyone does need to decompile and recompile an .apk I would recommend elesbb's APK Tool GUI. Makes the whole job very easy. Once you have all of your icon images you should be able to drag and drop them into their appropriate folders and recompile.
Thank you for the replies! I was hopping to be an easy-breeze doing but I guess not... I will try the tool you recommended: ) Wish me luck
