[Q] Porting and creating your own theme - Galaxy 3 General

Hi, I'd like to start porting some themes, but I have no idea where to start. I'm not a noob when it comes to computers, and I know a little about coding and defining stuff, so that's not a problem.
Can someone link a good tutorial for this? All my Google searches turned useless so I'd be grateful if you gave me a link you recommend. Also, what are the special procedures to get a theme working in our phone, like, do we need to use correct resolution and colors and so on?
I found out that twframework-res and framework.apk contain basic images, but I could use some help here.

I'm not a themer, but you could check out the theme section of this forum.

Thanks, can't believe how I missed that. Will report for further questions. Thanks again

Some Help please!

Hi all,
First post! (Of many I hope!)
Anyway, i was just wondering if i could please get some help.
I really want to install some themes on my touch diamond, but am not really sure what i am doing.
I downloaded a couple of themes while i was at work, and one of them was just one file, and the other was loads of little files. I read that the one that is one file i just put on the device and install from there, but what do i do with all those small files?
Also, how difficult is it to change the phone back to the deafault if i dont like what i have done?
Oh, and while im here, is there a program that adds haptic feedback to the phone?
Any answeres would be appreciated!
This should help you: LINK
Its installs themes among others. Great great app.
Welcome
Thanks for the link, but i just updated my ROM to the latest one!
Does that mean that i cant use that program?

Is this possible? I've looked everywhere for themes and instructions to do so. Someone please help me out. Love the forums, keep up the good work.

sorry guys, id really like some know-how on this.
Hey there,
Most themes are supplied in cab format, so it's just a matter of installing and uninstalling liek any other application.
A forumite has created a theme switcher here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614075&highlight=switcher

Paging all those who are interested in developing.

Well , I myself do not know how to develop anything at all. I really wanna produce something but whenever people give me links to guides and all these stuff, ill never understand what to do. So this thread is to help those who do not know how to make their own theme / mod or even ROM, help them to know where to start off. So ,please if you are keen to teach us , please do! We'll be very grateful. Thanks!
Well more developers the merrier!
If you wanna know more about developing and ROM creating , porting things , then you need to go this thread , btw i'm also gonna learn how to develop someday when i get free

You're going to need to do a bunch of reading, then more, then more. It's not the hardest thing to do, but removing stuff like that can be tricky. You're better off flashing a custom rom for now. There are plenty of threads with a ton of info here though.

Thank you for your time
You should check out a program called winmerge, I use it all the time when modding. It lets you compare files to find what you need.

Decompile SystemUI.apk and go to values/dimens
And change this
Code:
<dimen name="finder_connect_layout_height">57.0dip</dimen
To this
Code:
<dimen name="finder_connect_layout_height">0.0dip</dimen
increasing ringtone
Hi guys ive just regained root on firmware G900IDVU1ANK1 and i am trying to remove the annoying increasing ringtone. I have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733001 but the stupid thing still rings ascending. I noticed that there is only 1 instance of this line - Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V where as the thread says there should be 2. I used the SecTeleService apk from an earlier version rom (NE1) but it just crashes.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Daniel.

If you are doing this for Android L, the file to modify is now Telecom.apk and the guide is near the bottom of post #4 in my home guide thread.

How can I change an option in SecSettings.apk to redirect to another option?
Currently, Power Saving mode uses PowerSavingModeSettingsActivity and I want it to use PowerSavingModeSettings2014Activity. It has a few more options than what Settings currently uses. Thanks.

Search the entire smali folder with a tool like fileseek for PowerSavingModeSettingsActivity and change where it invokes it to PowerSavingModeSettings2014Activity. This is very simplified and may not work but that is how I would approach it to begin.

great work thanks
Ok this will probably be a lengthy question and refers to the incall backgrounds mod. Its also for a sprint note3 lp rom.
The problem is when you select the image it displays briefly until the call connects then it switches back to the stock. When you receive a call it displays the chosen background until you answer it then it reverts back to stock. We have went over and over the instructions and cannot find out where the issue is. I think the issue that needs to be fixed is actually in the fullscreen mod though can someone help please.

The on/off switches are framework-res.apk images I believe and will affect the entire rom, not just customsettings.
