You can't "dump" custom ROMs. If you want the theme from a custom ROM, you need to flash it then pull the files individually from the \Windows folder.

look for one of the roms that "comes with kitchen" such as chuckyROM.
then you can see it in action on your phone, and tweak it in the kitchen.

It's not that easy unfortunately...you have to know all the files which use the theme...that's a VERY hard thing to do...not really possible.

ohh...then would you know how todo a theme? from scratch ? please help very interested in making my own theme, thanks.

A question for all of you theme creators (How to create a theme?)

This may be a goofy question, but what are all of you wonderful theme creators using to create this awesome themes?
I have created a custom theme, but to get it the way I want it, i have to install several cab files to get everything correct, I would like to improve this theme and the install process.
I will definitely post this theme when I have it the way I want it, but I know that there has to be a way to make it install with a cab or maybe 2 at the most, not the 4 or 5 I have to install it with now.
Thanks,
Russ
CFC-GUI and QuickCab
Thanks for that info, so just to check, if I have my phone with all of the customizations that I want, can I just dump the Manila files from the phone into CFC-GUI and then create a cab from there?
Thanks for the help to a theme creator newbie!

Ok, I still do not get it? This is obviously the right way to do it, but how? What do I do with that APK?
Sorry I am new to ROM cooking, my ROM works awesome but I want to add some custom wallpapers to my ROM and change the default. This seems to be a common question with no easy answers.

you can easily unzip the apk file in Linux and do what you want to it and then rezip it in store mode and sign it. ( tadaaaaaa, it is it)
or in windows, change the apk to ZIP and Unzip it and then do what you want and then zip it in store mode change to apk and sign it in linux (or with cigwin in windows), again ( TADAAAAA, it is it)...

Could you explain a bit more?
The file htc-resource.apk contains the default background. But when I open it as a zip, I dont see any file which could be the default background. On decompiling with apkmanager, it tells me it has dependencies.
I know this thread is old, but I have the same question
If you are using the latest rom FroYo I suggest you look in the folder:
\SYSTEM\customize\resource

Modifying them there just shows them in Gallery. It doesnt make the background the default loaded when the rom is first installed
In framework-res.apk is what you need

Thank you! But when I changed the default wallpaper.jpg there, it showed that wallpaper for a second while booting up, and following the language and country setup, immediately reverted to the other one..I'm guessing there's one other location where this setting is present
HtcAddProgramWidget.apk - framework-res.apk - \SYSTEM\customize\resource
They are the only places where you can find wallpapers HTC (ammen you're not working on a custom ROM)
