Is it possible to use the themes located in android apps and themes main forum on our D2 devices?
Or at least the framework-res.apk files for the looks.
I'm tempted to flash but don't feel like messing up my device at all.
Nope. I tried a theme I really like that wasn't intended for the D2, and it wouldn't boot.

Hi
I have been using CM6 Nightlies for a while now, and I have been lurking about in the theme section for a while, and I would like to know how I can theme my Cyanogenmod roms?
Is it a case of actually flashing themed roms instead of Cyanogenmod?
I know ADWLauncher (included in Cyanogenmod) can be themed independently, but I am still a n00b to themes so would like to know what the best options are!
Thanks
Stu

Check out the threads over in the general android theming forum, especially this one
Sage words below
TIP: Your first theme should really just be a mixing and matching of other themes to get use to the process.
TIP: d/l and look at other themes and see what the have done, using the same process below you can port and mash themes. To see what is themed go to the res/drawable-xxx folders and sorte the png's in there to newest at the top and you'll see what they have changed.
TIP: system/app/xxx.apk are where most apps that are themed are contained in these apks you'll find a res folder and in there you have a bunch of folders. you really on need to look in the drawable-xxx ones mdpi, no-dpi, land and so forth. these pngs make up the apps look and feel changing them will theme the app.

If you new to the Android world rooting is the equivalent of jailbreak you can install as much modes hacks and themes as you want in this thread I will be explaining what you can do with your s3 running official Sammy rom:
1- Themes
In the themes section we have a collection of themes for every taste and firmware but make SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT THEME OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP
2- Jkay framework
This was one of the main reason I rooted it is compatible with all firmwares official only not leaked and can customise your ui with anything you like
3- boot animations
Imagine putting a bios boot screen or the boot screen of a nexus device all that is possible again with root
4- Custom kernel
My favourite one is Presus it contains both an audio and screen engine these enhance your battery life give extra boost to your performance while maintaining a perfect balance
5- other phone goodies
Like the xperia z lock screen how about the pop up browser from note 2 all these are available as flushable packages in the themes and apps section
6- startup scripts
Want to swap your memory cards make your phone faster all these can be done with startup scripts

You forgot the most important. Flashing custom ROM's. Custom ROM's often comes with multiple tweaks and features not available(or compatible) from official Samsung ROM's. From those ROM's you can get hybrid(Mixed) features from Samsung/AOSP/AOKP/CM
you don't have to be rooted for that though

OP you already have a thread for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174341
Is it possible to mix-and-match components from different themes? For instance I wanted to use the dialer/contacts, calculator and messaging apps from one theme with another theme but keep the other themed UI components from the second theme. Both themes work on my current rom/kernel setup.
Can I just overwrite the files in the second theme with the stuff I wanted to keep from the first theme? If so, what files would I need?
bump?
Can I just copy over the apks from the one theme into the other or is it more complicated?
As it stands I have scrolled through many roms but they all seem to be dark in colour, I am trying to find a rom that's light in colour for the i9505 (uk) does no one make them other than black or dark themed roms ?
Hi,
In CyanogenMod 11 for example you can install custom themes after flashing the ROM! And there are many themes out there in the Themes section of S4 Forum, you might want to take a look. Believe me, the ROM color won't be any problem hahaha! There's plethora of themes out there, you just need to search. For example, if you take CM11 ROM, you can download themes from Google Play Store and apply it via the settings app, easy like that. Other themes require flashing, or some special app .
Check this sub-forum and you might find something you like:

On this same note, most AOSP based ROMs have this theming ability. And there are literally thousands of themes available on the Google Play store as well.
Not sure if this is the right place or not, but I just got my s5 tonight and I would like to theme it a bit by changing some icons. On my old phones, I would just pull framework res or sysUI and replace the pngs I wanted to, then push it back to the phone. It does not look like that is an option since it looks like most everything is qmg now. Should I use Samsung theme designer or do custom roms play nicer with custom themes? I am rooted, but I have not installed safestrap or a rom yet.
Check out themes n apps section.. or search for an app on xda called qmg2png. It'll convert qmg to png for editing
