So I finally rooted my phone and installed FreeGS3. I like the layout as I'm not much of a theme person because I normally think they are tailored to someone else's likes and not my own.
Any suggestions as to what I should do next? There were some apps included that I'm not familiar with (KTweaker, Dolby Mobile, AC!D SoundMOD) that I'll do a little research on and figure out. Are there any little tweaks I can do to make small changes in order to make the phone look different? Maybe a different keyboard, different phone dialer, etc? I'm new so please don't flame me and I searched around but didn't find much.
Thanks.
Hmm.. First you say you don't like themes then you say you wanna change the look of your phone? I'm confused.

You can install a different launcher which will give you some options. Amongst that, you can change your icon pack, etc. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like for me. Note though, In running AOKP.

Now that I have Frozen 1.2 up and running, are there any themes that I can try out?
So far I have seen "The Joker" and "Heinz57". I am currently running "Emotionless Beast" with a few modifications to the fonts for my week eyesight. Is there a site that I can go to and check out others. Didnt find too much listed on youtube, and in my searches here on XDA I didnt turn up much more.
Look in this section. When there is a [Theme] in the title, that is all themes. Click on them and it will tell you if it's compatible with 1.2 or not. Most of the recent ones are.
Thanks Your video walked me thru installing my first theme yesterday. Made things a whole lot easier for me than trying to figure it out by trial and error.

Lol, too true.
BTW, lcovel, QB has got a slick vanilla stock Android theme in the theme forums. It's pretty sweet.
Gotta check out MattedReds in this section if you like a dark theme tastefully highlighted with red in all the right places. I'm running it and could post a quick screenshot if you want.

No I'm using the Quick Settings found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16347577&postcount=4
Unfortunatly I don't know where they originaly came from. I'll I know is they are the only one's that I've found that actually work.
Should be noted that I am also using the 4 settings tybe apk's from the vision_gingersense-2.30.405.1 Rom because they do not have the 4G settings in them.
Come on guys somebody has got to know something, lol
I'm thinking the .xml's in the systemUI.apk aren't looking in the right place for the info that it needs. I'm just not good with that kinda stuff yet though.

Sense 3 or not it still looks the same. I need to figure out how to make it look for what it wants to find. Darker header and pulldown dosn't matter at this point...
Its one of those features people want and if I can make it work I don't mind putting it in.
Happened to me before on a rom, but I can't remember which. Reboot helped for a little while, but it returned shortly after.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Its just kinda weird that a systemUI.apk from Sense 3.0 will work even with those weird strings but a systemUI.apk from any of the current 2.1 roms on the forums won't even work.
What happens is if I grab the systemUI.apk from any of these 2.1 that has the quick settings with sliders and put it in my rom the status bar won't show up. Theres no force close...nothing.
Hi all,
I have looked all over and tried a few patches here and there and tried modding the file apk's myself but keep ending up with issues so I thought I would ask if there is anyone that would be will to make a blue/green theme or that could help me with issues I am having to do it on my own. Was able to change colors of files and such on my 3D but on the SIII it just keeps causing issues.
What I am trying to do is something like JellyBomb for most things but with highlights of neon green (close to stock green) here and there like in the toggles, few notifications, the spinner (green outside, blue inner). Or something like the Anaconda theme in the works but with blue/green of course.
Any help would be great, thanks.

I tried the UOT kitchen and it seem like it would take care of my wants but I was unable to get the files to work. I lost my notification bar on start up. Are there any settings that you would recommend to make this work with the SIII or if there are certain theme portions that I should stay a way from?
Thanks

Was using freegs3 by Clark. I had read something about different systemUI files but I didn't know how to tell which one I was on after searching or how to tell which was loaded with the ROM. I may give a try with another rom tonight if you think that would work or if there is one you would recommend that you have confirmed working with UOT. Thank you again for pointing me to it, I just need to keep learning.

Does anyone know a way to change the status bar/WiFi/signal bar/battery color without using the xposed framework? I'm saying this because when I tried it on the latest CM 10.1.2 Stable build and the phone became barely usable as the performance went to crap. Also it couldn't change the battery color. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Do you know about something that I could do quickly? Because this sounds like it would take some time. Perhaps some root app on XDA?

Learn how to mod apks maybe.
No unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do this 'on the fly'. Its going to involve decompiling the apps and changing icons, adjusting colors, etc.
Like I said, its been a long time so its probably more involved now, but when I last used it, it actually was pretty quick and simple. Probably the fastest and easiest way you will find. Unless something new is out that I don't know about...

Say if I wanted to theme my stock rooted touchwiz. If I found a theme for the s4 touchwiz, I obviously can't flash it! But if I used a root explorer can I drag and drop replacing the files and reboot? Or would it not work cause or dpi is set at 480p? I just miss themeing! I wish I could make the PCB circuit board theme work on our Note 3!

Sorry to say, no. Here is why sir.
1. S4 is still on android 4.2 based, while Note III is android 4.3 so things will be different.
2. The layout files will be different, which is a big piece.
Dpi wont come into play, becuase they both use xxHdpi images.. so the image part should for most part be fine to drag into Launcher3.apk. Not a guareentee all will be fine.. but should.
My suggestion..
1. If you have Root, have Nova or Apex loaded and make sure works.
2. With one of the above running, you can rename your launcher3.apk
3. I would only drag images from s4 launcher into Note III launcher.
4. Replace luancher apk on Note III change permission, reboot.
5. change back to TW Launcher..
With us just getting Root. You gotta give us a bit to get things going..

You take a huge chance of messing up phone and getting fc's using apk from other carriers N3 stuff. Especially Framework/SystemUI is almost always different by each carrier. They add stuff into those files..

You need to have:
Android SDK
A graphic program like Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop
Apktool Manager
Java 6 and/or 7
That would be a start. Then you need to learn how to decompile Android Apk's

This thread is not the right area to request themign to be done, Use the Theme and Apps area fro that please.
The SecLauncher4.apk is the correct apk to decompile to get to labels for the launcher. I am not sure where those are at, haven't themed the Seclauncher since two versions ago..
I might suggest Nova whch will allow you to do things as well.
