Manually messing with files is a complete wrong approach to theming CM7-based ROMs. Look up some theme manager howto. More stuff can be done via metamorphs in case this is not enough for you.

You can find a theme that has the same folders as yours and use there update script. That's what I do

Might even consider using MetaMorph if its just a theme, he has a tutorial and template laying around the intertubez somewherez.

I'm looking for a percentage mod for latest P6810 official rom.
Anybody can help to teach me how can i do it, or give me a link for an easy how-to-guide?
EDIT:
Found the solution
Using http://uot.dakra.lt can create the mod!
Only need the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
After the cook complete you can flash the created .zip via CWM or you can extract the two files (systemui and framwork-res) and copy them to your device.

That's kinda a silly question mate. Replace the SystemUI.apk of that rom with yours, and also insert lidroid-res.apk in your framework. Don't do the changes directly, make a flashable zip (there's a guide by kurotsugi) and flash it.
Btw, i don't really know if this has been tried before.

Here it is - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669489. Btw, i expected you to search. Do remember that next time.
And about the other thing you referred to, i suppose you refer to the theme, and i really don't know much about that! But there are two other apks, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk in /system/framework which are used for theming along with SystemUI.apk . You can decompile them and check for yourself.

Is there a way to choose/make/browse themes [FULL] only for incoming call screens? Especially for Samsung Galaxy Y, the stock answering call is really bad.
Is it possible to download / theme the incoming call screen via Metamorph? And where to find such themes for Samsung Galaxy Y?
I already know about some third-party apps on Play store such as Ultimate Call Screen HD, but they don't do what I need.
p.s. I'm NOT looking either for ROMs with different incoming call screens (I'm here for a simple way to theme the incoming call screens for android)

I downloaded several Phone.apk(s) from the net, but every time I try to install one it asks me that "this is a system app, do you want to replace" and say yes but then it says (Application not installed)
What could be wrong? and how to fix it?
I think you should flash via cwm. Well, i am a beginner but even i changed my default one. But pls confirm with senior members. I think you have to flash it

I tried flashing the flashable APK but with no success, it displayed "installation aborted" at the end.
Yes I agree with koradiavatsal, u should flash through cwm, or try this, copy the file (Phone.apk) to /system n set permission to rw-r--r-- n then move n replace it to /system/app, then reboot. If this not succesfull the one way is flash it through cwm

Before I continue to to the replacement inside the system/app directory...
Is it ok to replace even if the Phone.apk is made for ICS or JB? I of course use GB.
Hey if someone could link me to theme chooser, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the CM one. Also, what would be the necessary build.prop tweaks that would make it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't believe you would be able to get it to work without the CM framework and system files. It would take more than a simple build prop tweak to get it to work if at all. Unless you want to build CM from source you're only other option is to flash CM to use theme chooser.

You can extract the apk from a downloaded version of CM using 7zip if you really want the apk. You can install it but it won't do anything without the framework to support it. Some of the custom launchers have themes you can download from the playstore that might be an option for you if you want a new theme. I would browse in the theme section for advice.

Its been over 2 years since I built or modified a ROM but its not as simple as just dragging and dropping framework-res and systemui versions you want into a ROM. There may be other custom ROM's out there with theme chooser if the dev used CM source to build his ROM but tehn why not just use CM? The easiest way I know of to theme a phone is to use a custom launcher and choose a theme off the play store or use an app like UCCW and again look for themes for it in the playstore. UCCW (ultimate custom clock widget) isn't the most user friendly app but it gets the job done. And make sure you back up your phone before making any changes using launchers or theme apps for if they modify systemui.apk or framework-res.apk in any way those changes can't be easily reversed. Always have a backup of your stock ROM.
