The reason I bought my Nexus 4 is to forget about flashing custom roms and stuff! I like to use stock and rooted, but I notice that all themes are only compatible with cm 10.1 or AOKP roms, so my question is if there is a way to theme the stock rom framework the way u can in cm10.1 or AOKP? Thanks

Yes, it's possible. You can pull the appropriate files and decompile, theme, recompile, sign, then push it back to the phone (that will require a lot of patience and technical ability). You can also try using ZipThemer, but I haven't found any compatible ZipThemer themes in the N4 forums -- in fact, I'm not even sure tgat ZipThemer is compatible.
But the easiest way would undoubtedly be to flash a ROM with Theme Chooser capabilities and pick from the almost-thousand themes available.
Btw, is it okay if I ask why you don't plan to customise the s**t out of your N4? Personally, the only reason I bought the Nexus is because of the immense dev support, and also to teach myself a bit of programming and modding along the way.

You could flash a deodexed stock ROM, then you'll have a very theme-able "stock framework".
Yeah but the thing is that when I start flashing roms then it's like an illness that I can't stop, I lost so much time on my galaxy s3 flashing roms tweaking and modding, man it just gets crazy! Also the update to 4.2.2 it's coming soon so I wanna stay on stock rom to get it as soon as it comes out!

Yeah I'm looking for a Theme Chooser flashable zip for JB, and Odexing tool for JB as well.
I saw BAMF Paradigm has the theme chooser but I really don't like that ROM, I want to theme any JB ROM that's AOSP. For that I need a zip.
As for Odexing, I found an apk that is supposed to do that but it never does, I just get stuck at the boot screen forever after using it (ICS & JB)
So if anyone can help wit this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all

As far as I know, can't be done. The theme choose requires modifications to the framework as well, its not just an APK that's flashable. At least that is how it was explained to me back in the CM7 days
Framework, and apps.
I however, like our rom

Well I almost do, if 2.1.1 would be released I think I might switch but as is I'm running CM9 & Jelly belly 6.0.1
I ran BAMF Paradigm for about a week but the screen kept turning itself on randomly thereby draining my battery.

The OdexMe app only works on stock based roms. Not on AOSP, CM or AOKP roms.

BAMF is an awesome ROM. The problem with the screen waking is possibly superSU granting an app root access. Its usually a toast pop up saying that an interactive shell has been granted. At least it was for me. You can turn the notification off in the superSU settings. Use BAMF and donate to the adrynalyne retirement fund

Hi i just rooted my galaxy S3 and was finally able to get a custom rom on it, FrostyJB 11.2.1 to be exact. However im looking at themes i want to add but im not sure how themes work and if they are all compatible or if some are not. Any info would be great thx.
Yeah youre gonna have to look around the forum as some themes work only on a specific ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thats the thing I dont see the themes say anything about if they are compatible with certain roms or not.
There's usually not a whore lot won't write with trial and error so long as you have a COMPLETE cwm or twrp backup handy
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Make a titanium backup first! (May take up to 20 minutes like mine does). Then go to the themes and apps section and there you'll find a couple. Wasabi has an aroma zip that can be flashed through custom recovery and that alone has 19 amazing themes. He did a banging job. I'm running the HTC one
Sent from my Rooted Gameboy
Pardon my grammatical errors earlier.. Wow. ADD mixed with Swype can be a rough combo. Anyway, Wasabi's themes are excellent. I know though there were a few issues with systemui crashing on some Rom's, but that's has most likely been fixed by now. The Domination theme by Deviant is bad ass, but I assume it's only for the Domination Rom. So basically, like I said, trial and error. Just keep a backup in case you run into trouble.

We have the same rom, I've been using lantek's aroma installer, and wild child's aroma installer, with frosty i think he posted a link on his rom thread, and wild child has a link on one of his rom threads, name was xquizit v11 kitchen, both working excellent on frosty rom
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Ok after going through wasabi's thread i noticed someone saying that the themes are not working with the rom i have FrostyJB v 11.2.1 because of some kinda 23 toggle feature (have no idea what that is lol) so im kinda scared as to try flashing that on my phone. They also suggested that you shud downgrade to 11.1 as more themes are compatible. Does anyone have any experience with themes working on 11.2.1 or is it bad for themes.
Also i have been playing around with the Nova Launcher and have a nice layout that i can work with, I have a question about the status bar tho. Is there anyway to change the Battery, wifi, data, etc. symbols to blue instead of the green ones without having to flash anything or is that the only way.

If I was you I would stay away from themes alltogether because i put a theme on one of the roms by the same people that made frostyjb and guess what, battery was draining right before my eyes, every few seconds a percentage fell.

Hey whats up everyone. First off let me mention that I'm not a developer by any means, so please don't start flaming. I simply want to share my small little creation -- A stock touchwiz rom (I mean stock everything -- Kernel, Baseband, etc), but with as much pure google-ness as possible, all while maintaining stability and functionality.
Rom
Official Stock 4.1.1. JB (Rooted)
De-bloated both T-Mobile (even Carrier IQ) and Samsung stuff.
Theme
ICS Blue Status bar with G, E, H, and H+ Signal icons
ICS Blue Status bard Toggles (Wi-Fi, GPS, etc)
ICS Blue Phone Dial Pad
ICS Blue themed stock MMS
4.2 Contacts Icons
Nexus 4 .apks
Nexus 4 Calculator
Nexus 4 Google Calendar
Nexus 4 Gmail 4.2 with pinch-zoom function
Nexus 4 Keyboard w/ Swype function & Emoji
Nexus 4 GTalk
Nexus 4 Jellybean Launcher
Nexus 4 Alarms, Notifcations, and Ringtones
Nexus 4 Clock
Nexus 4 Google News and Weather
Injected .apks
Google Wallet w/ NFC Fix for JB Touchwiz Roms. (Must follow these **simple** instructions to get this to work! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083)
DSP Manager from CM10
Touchwiz Apps
Camera (Because 4.2 camera with photosphere is not 100% operational and FC's -- whether it be because of the gallery, auto focus, or flash)
Gallery (Goes hand in hand with the TW Camera)
MMS (Because 4.2 MMS, you can't edit your own photo contact, but everyone else's you can. Not a big deal but again -- 100% stability is the goal)
S-Memo (Just cause I draw stuff, but you can delete it from "systems/app" folder if you want.)
Video Player (Because the Picture-in-Picture feature is nice to have)
So yea. Everything is fully functional, and whatever was not, was not installed. Wi-Fi calling works as well. Anything you feel like adding to it, go for it. This is just my build, the way I like it. I hope you all enjoy.
For more "Buttery" Smoothness, set all animation scales in the Developers Section in your settings menu to 0.5. :good:
As always, do the following
Make a Backup
Wipe Data and Cache
To install, you must place this Backup into your CWM Recovery Folder, and Restore from there. Thats it!

Looks good bud! Thanks
Will try later. Any known bugs ?
I am on TWRP
@OP:
1. That is one big file...
2. We appreciate your effort, and it definitely does look like a great ROM to flash and try out, but next time, as tempting as it seems sometimes, please give us a ROM file to flash instead of uploading a nandroid backup and telling us to restore from recovery.
Ive been waiting for a rom like this, but im on twrp, i think if nandroid this cwm nandroid it would brick my phone right?

You cant use CWM backups on TWRP. They have different ways to backup and restore.
You can't download from the phone the slider on the download page won't move.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late response. Busy at work. But yea. To be honest, I don't know how to make it into a zip to you all can install it from Recovery, rather than restoring the image itself.

Ever since I switched from my Nokia S60 phones to my Samsung Android phone I've been looking for ways to theme my UI. This got me into flashing. But with every ROM I try, I keep going back to stock since it's more stable and I like the stock Calendar, browser, etc.
I keep reading on this forum that it is possible to modify UI elements by editing the systemui.apk, so theoretically it seems like it should be possible to create a theming engine for the stock ROM. Is it possible?
