It's not to tough, pm me and i'll try and help out how i can.

I don't have a incredible yet but I'm sure you have to pull framework and system/app/ and edit those apks, then push them back to the phone. Someone correct if I'm wrong here.

Not to sound noobish, How do you edit them. Do you need rom kitchens or special programs? I cant even view pictures on my computer because windows sucks. Im more experienced with roms than themes.

You can use GIMP to edit images and its free. You need to pull a few files.
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
rosie.apk
To extract them, rename them to .zip files, then once you are done editing, rezip the apk and rename to a .apk and push to proper location in recovery.
These three basically control most of images, icons, check boxes, buttons, etc that you will see differences with. You can edit other apks too to make them more custom to your phone. The only thing that stinks is some apps like facebook and others that get updated normally, you would have to revert back to original and then update. For now you have to push the files you edit back to your phone until nand is fully unlocked. Soon you should be able to use metamorph to apply themes. Just make sure you keep a stock copy of the APKs you edit in case you need to restore an icon or restore the apk completely.
Also you might notice that something you edit in one of the APKs doesn't apply, it could be because its in 2 locations and you need to edit or replace it in another APK. Like the signal bars for example, these are in the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, so you need to replace the files for the signal bars in the com.htc.resources.apk file.
Here is a few examples of some light theming I did with mine.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

Very cool themes. Where can i find gimp? Also, do you need to re sign the apks, and if do how? Im not too good when it comes to signing.
Anyway, thanks for the info, and also, thanks for finding the exploit to unlock mamd

You don't have to resign them, just rezip the files to make it an apk again, if your file you make has the extension .zip, just change to .apk
Make sure you make a nandroid backup before you start theming. Sometimes changing pngs can cause things to look weird. so you can revert back. Also you will notice there are files called .9.png files, these are different. If you edit these sometimes you can have issues which make an icon look incorrect sized or stretched out even. Look up tutorials on editing .9.pngs I think if you use GIMP it recognizes .9.png files and you might not have to do any extra work, but I haven't really messed with these to much.
You can find gimp with google search, its a program like photoshop, and the price is FREE.

Any stock apps you don't have to resign. 3rd party apps would have to be resigned I believe. TNS gave some pretty good info on how to theme. There is a breakdown somewhere on the net that gives you step by step directions. It might be the one posted above,i didn't look so I'm not sure. I use photoshop to build .9.pngs instead of using the .9 patch tool. Also the easiest way to make your theme us with mm or as a vendor overlay. A vendor might be too hard for you unless you know how to build from source. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

How to use Root Explorer

Root explorer is pretty straight forward but can be confusing for some people who have never used it before. I have made this list based on the most commonly questions I have read about how to use Rood Explorer. I hope this answers your questions but if it doesn't, post the question and I'm sure I or someone will help you out.
When it won't let you manipulate a file ("this file system is read only") just touch the white button on the top that says "mount r/w"
When you long press files and folders for the sub menu, you can
Extract all
Delete
Rename
Copy
Move
Change Permissions
Properties
Add Bookmark
Send
View as text
Open in text editor
Zip a file
Create Tar
Change owner
You can also press menu for
New folder
Preferences
Bookmarks
Search
Muli-select
more gives you
Home
Refresh
New file
About
Exit
This program pretty much explains itself so just give it a little time and mess with it for a bit.

That's funny.
When all else fails, RTFM....

I had to get it out there. I see people asking about it all the time.

The only times I've ever been confused was when trying to edit something but I was too far into a folder to have the R/W option at the top

The R/W button, Menu button, and long presses are your friend.

So say I wanted to use root explorer in order to do the webtop mod.....how should I come about doing that? Sorry im a newb....ive tried countless times to get this working but failed everytime...i also understand that they have a forum dedicated to the webtop mod but they never really gave detailed instructions.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

What I was wondering is how can I install a system app? I know I can move them into system, but how can I install them? Do I have to flash a zip or put them in the rom zip and flash that?

You will need the .apk file for the app you want to install. Put it on your sd card. Then Just copy the .apk file in the system/app folder. you will need to hit the R/W button up top in order to copy/ paste it there. After that it will show up in your app drawer.

This guide should help people out.

And btw, Root-Explorer is so easy to use.. you just should use it, instead of asking how!

This reply is actually incomplete.
Those are the first steps necessary, but the most important step is, once the file has been successfully copied, to long-press on the file (or press "Menu" while the file is highlighted), and choose "Permissions". A series of checkboxes will appear. The Permissions will need to be set to match the other files in /system/app, which will be rw-r--r--. That is, all of the first column boxes should be checked, and the top checkbox in the second column. Any other checkboxes should be unchecked. Once that's done, press "OK", and it will confirm the permissions have changed. The Permissions on the file you copied over should now match the other files in the folder. THEN, after you reboot, the app should appear in your app drawer .

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]=============Lockscreen Note==================
Once you have my theme, no needs to follow my Tuto as i already coded the xml for the lockscreen
You only need a picture 480 x 800
Open my zip file theme with 7zip and drag the picture in :
Framework > framework-res.apk > res > drawable
Then go back and 7zip will ask you to apply the changes on the apk.
All done, enjoy it!
===========================================[/COLOR]
Enjoy it

Thank you
I was wanted to know this tip.
I'll be make my theme apply this tip.

tried to change picture on LeeDroid 3.0.2 and stuck on splash screen

This is cool, but will it have to be changed every time you change your wallpaper? And on a completely unrelated note, do you have a Lion cub as a pet? (looking at the lock screen and one of your home screens)

If you are stuck on splash screen, must be something wrong during the compilation of the apk _ did you tried to modify *.png9 files as well ?

Unfortunately, until some dev with free time wants to launch an app' for that, yes, we will need to changed the background _ only the background as the setup @drawable/whatever you named your picture.png doesnt change.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BLAH BLAH BLAH ETC.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. The flashable zip files containing the actual launcher and SE widgets(Download here)
2. Terminal emulator(free from market)
3. Executable script to modify build.prop(Download here)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the executable script(AKA "build") is placed in the root(meaning the base) of your SD card.
2. Using terminal emulator, input this command.(press enter after each line)
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/build
--this should change your build's manufacturer from LGE to Sony Ericsson--
--if an error appears, take note of the error message and post it here--
3. Reboot to recovey and flash SE_timescape.zip
4. Enjoy!!!!!
SMALL WARNING:
No undo.zip as of now, so if you're kind of fidgety on what's in your phone, stay away for now. But, if you have basic knowledge in removing system files, just fiddle with the zip file and you'll know exactly what to remove.
Bugs(help needed):
-app drawer button is placed a little bit high
-photo and video widget may present some errors
Thanks to cygnus of samdroid.net. Click here to visit the original thread

i am currently using se launcher (for xperia) how is it different with that? Also app drawer button is not high for my launcher.

This launcher sucks. App Drawer doesn't show all apps.

good work man ! but the timescape font is HUGE!
looks ugly :/

it wieked on CM 7.0.2 )
i flashed this archive into recovery
and before i changed this string in build.prop
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

That's exactly the same procedures as the 1st post.
the downloadable "build" script will automate the build prop change needed, while the SE_timescape.zip is a signed(edify) version of SEUX.zip.
About the fonts, YEP they're ugly alright(as you can see on my screenies) I wasn't really planning to use timescape but I really wanted the photo and video widget to work. So if anyone can help here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Another thing, I wanted to use the SE launcher from this thread but was unsuccessful. Again, if anyone can help out, please do.
Even though it has a few bloats, I still like this launcher(+ photo widget and folders - really cool). I also think it's really fast. I don't have much time to tinker right now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know where you're getting at but trust me, both files are one and the same(only difference is with the update scripts which can be fixed by toggling signature verification). Anyways I've re-uploaded the SE_timescape.zip which is now compatible with all optimus one recoveries.
Have you tried the large photo widget? Did it work for you?
BTW, here's a screenie of the pinch gesture, really nice:

It doesn't work as expected. Speech recognition and responses are very cool, but the app gets stuck almost every time after the first response. :-(

Samsung Galaxy S III S Voice leaked and if you have ICS rom in your phone then you can test of S Voice. S Voice has the promise to be one of the better voice command options for Android as compare to iphone siri
It's unclear what devices can and can't run the app right now. So far so you can take a chance to test it and report it at comment section
you can also install it by
1. Unrar the file and copy the apk file
2. Copy to system/app folder
3. Change permission to rw-r-r
restart phone.
• You MUST HAVE ICS ROM.
• If the apk is giving you parsing error then move the apk under data/app and set permission via Root Explorer or something as,

To Fix EDIT MOD :
To fix the network error, edit two lines in the build.prop to add GT-I9300
The 2 lines should look like the following:
ro.product.device=GT-I9300
ro.product.model=GT-I9300

you can try else you have to copy app in system /app

I got it installed, placed in the system/app folder. Changed the build.prop files. I still get a DC after asking it to call someone.
Any ideas or thoughts on getting it to stop fc-ing? Also I find this weird, I had 45% power before hand. Now I'm at 17%. Check out the drop in my screenshoot.

2C. Transfer both these files to your ICS device or you can push via adb
3A. Copy the voicetalk.apk (i tested with this name) to /system/app
3B. If there no space, remove some apks not required pref by Titanium Backup
3C. Copy the voicetalk.apk with say ES Explorer or via ADB PUSH
3D. Change permission of voicetalk.apk to rw,r,r
3E. Press and hold >> Properties >> Change (ES Explorer)
3F. Copy the libsvoxtts.so to /system/lib (do check this is required or not)
4A. Edit build.prop (with build.prop Editor or manually)
4B. Edit property ro.product.device with value GT-I9300
4C. Edit property ro.product.model with value GT-I9300
