I was wondering if anyone know if it is possible to put more icons into a flashed theme already on your phone or could someone point me in the right direction to learn how thanks in advance
im not sure how to pack a theme but if you explore your rom's zip file you should be able to find the icons usually under res\drawle-hdpi if the apk wont open you can just rename the .apk to .zip if you extract the apk it will need to be resigned.
Is it possible to find that weather widget as a flashable zip to install it to CMx FXPyyy ??
Good day all,
I've got a little thread going with some themed versions of the new 4.2 DeskClock app, and I am looking for anyone who is currently on any 4.2.x ROM who can help me with some testing. I am still on 4.1.2 as I can't take the plunge myself quite yet, so I am not able to do this myself yet.
I am looking to confirm that the theming I have done to the DeskClock APK's doesn't cause any issues with the function of the app. The AOSP version of the APK has some issues when running on 4.1.2, but I am assuming they are not present on 4.2 since I haven't seen anyone complaining about it. I also want to confirm that the flashable ZIP file I made is 4.2-compatible.
The ZIP file here (View attachment 1523414) contains a semi-transparent white version of the 4.2 DeskClock. You are welcome to inspect the contents as well as the updater-script to confirm this. Nothing nefarious. I ask that you try flashing it and help me answer 3 questions:
1) Did the flashable ZIP work? You can confirm by installing the analog clock widget and seeing if it is now semi-transparent (or a fainter white depending on your wallpaper). I can make a ZIP to get you back to stock after that, or if there is a style in the OP you like, and I will make a flashable ZIP for you.

2) Does the new digital clock widget work on 4.2? When I try it on 4.1.2, I get the display error in the screenshot below, even the stock unthemed version. Sadface.

3) Does everything still work? Alarms? Timers? Widgets? No weird FC's when exiting the app while a timer is running?
If anyone is willing to help me with any or all of the things above, it would be greatly appreciated!! You can post here or in the thread over in the Themes & Apps sub-forum, I'll be checking both places
weekend BUMP! any help is appreciated!
Was wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to take a theme chooser (apk) theme and turn it into a zipthemer theme. I know you can extract the apk just as if it were a zip file but I don't know what images go into what packages for zipthemer. Essentially I have a theme that was free that I love but I just upgraded my ROM to pa3.94 which doesn't have theme chooser anymore so I'm hoping there's a way to create a zipthemer theme with the extracted theme chooser theme. Anyone? Thank you in advance for any help.

There are several ways to do what you want to do, regardless from the fact that I hate roms without theme chooser and I have the strong suspect that this feature or similar will be officially integrated in KLP 5.0, hopefully, but:
1) you can create a vrtheme.zip, this way you only need a deodex system/app and the images will be flashed into the apk's, so non need for theme chooser
2) an easy one is UOT kitchen, you can create a basic theme composed by framework and systemUI, ofc you want to flash the output from the kitchen with a custom recovery, so no need for theme chooser..I don't know how is the support with android 4.x.x, but since it's very popular I asuume it will support latest android release (not sure for 4.3 specifically)
3) you can use exposed framework, just google "xposed framework" it will give you a lot of results, pick up one and start learn how it works..indeed it's basically a series of modules (apk) that allow you a series of customizations, among them, theming ones (battery, background, statusbar icons..etc)
4) but I understand this is probably out of your skills (just assuming, no offence), you can theme framework and systemUI to obtain what you want..you said the theme it's free, so you can do this, but it's very complicated, it implies xml edits, not just a right collocations of png's
5) You can also build a rom from source, and cherry pick the theme chooser code both from cyanogen git or aosp git (from a rom like slim rom or purity that has theme chooser as a feature in their code)...ofc, this is a dev job, I did it once on aosp, and it's not easy at all...theme chooser is more than two apk's, it requires a lot of framework edits, both in smali code and in the apk itslef, and a series of edits in setting.apk...very long way, very complicated, results are not 100% stable if you don't know exactly what you're doing..I mention this way of obtain what you asked just for the sake of the question.
..that's all I have to share for now..I personally use (when it's needed) vrtheme system, it's fast and clean, and allows you some xml customizations, but speaking frankly I eneded up using only rom that support theme chooser. Hope this helps:good:
ps. if you need further explanations, just ask me here, I'll help you as much as I can, but for now, take a look at the links below
