How to back up widget on screen

Hi guys
I'm working on a them for our gs, with launcher pro plus
My theme use a lot of widget and complexe position in different screen (7)
Is it possible to create a back up for all the widget and their position and cook a rom that use all my work ?
the idea is: you flash my custom darky , and after the install and 1st boot, you have all widget in their right place in launcher pro
But A thing makes me perplexed .
When i go to launcher pro tools, at "back up homescreen ans sittings" there is a prevent message:
Due to limitation in the Android system, widget connot be backed up.

Damned
Anybody have a solution to this?
is it realy IMPOSSIBLE to make something like that with android and launcher pro?
I can believe that..

Here's a trick
When restoring with launcher pro do this :
Restore
Then when it says to restart launcher pro, reboot your phone instead
When it loads your widget's should be functional.
Try it out.

thanks for the tricks!
But is it possible to save all widget position and put them in a darky's rom , so everybody can have the same when flashing?

Well u can edit the default workspace xml or using the method described above make it so when flashing the update.zip of the rom, it places a preconfigured launcherpro backup into the /data/data folder of launcherpro and hence upon restart it should work.
^^ All theoretical

[Q]Why hasnt anyone changed themes in stock SE Theme manager?(2.3.4)

Sony Ericsson was wonderful enough to include a stock theme chooser in our Xperia Plays so I have wondered why are we not customizing them? I see no threads about this at all or where we can share themes for our stock manager so I wanted to start one.
The process of customizing the stock theme manager is very simple and can be done by swapping out pngs within the DefaultThemes.apk. (Simply unzip, swap pics, & rezip)The images are located in "res/drawable-hdpi" folder.These "themes" are not full themes but instead they only affect the background of the dialer, contacts, alarms, calculator, stock messaging app, stock calendar, settings, & music app, & can be used with other themes (i.e ICS).
I do not know how to change the name of the preview images in manager (i.e. Fluorite, orchid, ruby, flow, sunflower, onyx ,& willow) as of yet, but I think I need to edit xml to change this. I would like to get some feedback on this and hope someone will enjoy the customized themes I made. (I have only replaced the stock images so I did not create the wallpapers or images.)
To install this:
1. Your phone must be ROOTED and you should have Root Explorer app(or other Root browser) from market.
2. You should make a backup of your phones DefaultThemes.apk file that is found in System/app folder (but I have included it to download also if you like)
3. You need to change permissions of the file before you move it into its folder. (Picture is included to show the correct permissions)
4. Lastly replace file and reboot phone. Once rebooted you should have new themes (modified themes) in stock theme manager.
Many Screenshots are below. Again...Feedback is appreciated
There are 2 customized versions and the original SE 2.3.4 Default Themes apk. Basically 14 new themes here.
V.2 Custom Themes http://db.tt/oO3RykwG
V. 3 Custom Themes http://db.tt/7YFiAdd7
And Sony Ericsson Stock Original http://db.tt/oWxJ87dU

If dropbox links are not working let me know and I will re-create links or find another way to share.

Got your PM mate, wow thanks I was actually looking for this last week haha will check it out properly later but is bookmarked for now
Jinx13

No problem. I figure there are some really good themes posted here like ICS, Galaxy s2, & someone even just did motoblur. They all put in a lot of work & they came out great.(I use ICS personally). So I thought if I made custom themes for the manager it makes them look even better imo. If you have some images that you want to add or suggestions let me know & ill see what I can do.

Download .apk
Move to /system/apps
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
This might do the trick

cycloneblast's method works. Finally happy with custom roms where live wallpapers didnt worked.

Thanks Cycloneblast I was able to fix my LWP error. My alternate process below:
How to fix - unfortunately live wallpaper picker has stopped.
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
-Live Wallaper Picker-
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with -Lucky Patcher-(you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet (including the one in this thread by <cycloneblast>) for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can).
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If stil not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with -SD Maid-(you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use this at your own RISK.

with that livewallpaperpicker don´t woks for me. i put another one the 4.4 (for kitkat) and works really fine. with live wp again.

[Q] Changing default locksceen wallpaper

I am trying to change the default lock screen wallpaper on my Rom. I swapped out the new wallpaper, for the old one located in: system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/hdpi and, xhdpi, but the lockscreen remains stock!?
How can I change this so the stock wallpaper for the lockscreen, is my own custom wallpaper right from the get go (after setup) ???

What ROM are you on? This would help since I know SOME ROM developers changed a setting so it doesn't pull it from the framework-res.a pk but rather a wallpaper folder instead. Pull apart the whole ROM zip file and see if there is a WALLPAPER folder. If I remember correctly in the ROM I am thinking about it will be found at /system/wallpaper and not /system/framework-res folders.
Here you can test out this VR Theme format to test. It will ONLY change the lockscreen wallpaper and the homescreen wallpaper IF you have the same file structure. If you don't it won't change anything.
If it does change them to a Dark Blue picture then you can unzip the file I am linking, and switch out WHATEVER pic/s you want. Just make sure to use roughly the same size pic and rename them to match exactly. Hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't change anything. Link http://db.tt/MUw2Ot7m
Also like I said before it WILL depend on WHAT ROM your using and WHAT firmware.

It's in framework-res apk under default_wallpaper and default_lockscreen_wallpaper. I believe it also is in system UI if I am not mistaken. I know I had to change it in two different APK's to get to default to a certain wallpaper when installed.

[Flashable Zip]Huge UI mod for stock apps for Jellybean (G3 style)

This mod will change default apps UI to look like G3:
Contact, Phone, Setting, Lockscreen, Home, Message, Camera
Little icon change for:
Internet, videos, calculator, gallery
How to:
1. You must have a file manager for editing Example.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download zip from attachments, open mod & copy(replace) "res" folder in Example.apk.
3. Replace your new Example.apk with the original one in system/app.
4. You MUST always Restart your phone to get the right result! Possible Force closes before restart are normal
Done! Enjoy!
Flashable zip is here!please reply the result

----------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open as archive" & then you can modify APKs easily
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in Example.apk
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of Example.apk.
!! remember to have the original STOCK APK files somewhere safe !!
I suggest to copy the system/"app" folder somewhere safe
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfect!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solve the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I'm already using it, is perfect for jellybean,I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
If you want to have G3 style notification bar & lollipop Navigation bar on your Optimus G like the screenshot, here is the place:

The problem is my phone is not unlocked & I don't know how to make flashable zip!
But I make you sure even by deleting the apps above, phone will boot normally(tested) & you can replace or copy your original apps, they will be restored FOR SURE.
Also that's not that much hard to modify them! At most 10 minutes for all of them!

Persian. Well, maybe your tester was an Iranian. The screen shot from contacts was my clue.
