you could try to make a theme for a home replacement, e.g GO launcher and ADW support it.
download any theme, unzip it and replace the icons

GDD Ultimate Theme Mod

Hello everyone,
I have used the GreenDevDroid theme as the base due to its animations (Thanks to giveme13s) and did a quickfix of the aspects that I felt to be not too appealing.
Changes:
1. Changed the green notification bar to black and did a few minor modifications to the notification area
2. Changed boot animation from the flipping coin to 'Android Particles 1'
3. Changed system font to Comfortaa
4. Replaced the battery indicator with circular battery (Version I)
Screenshots: Attached (Blanked out a few areas )
Instructions:
1. Copy zip file to sdcard
2. Boot into recovery
3. Make a NAND backup
4. Flash zip file (it is signed)
Download:
multiupload.com/IOMI1GQSNS
Notes:
I am using a modified void #delta rom but I presume that the theme would work with other roms. In case you only want the circular battery, you may use the framework-res.apk from this theme or just pick-up the relevant png files within it.
will try it now on lol rom..feedback later..
edit:
its working on lol rom..i love the boot animation and the effects
tnx mate!
Thanks got you did it!!!Iwas trying all night to do it without result. Thank you!
Doesnt work for me on stock rom. Errors appeared - cannot run LG home, cannot run market and so on. Had to do nandroid restore. Anyway thanks for your effort!
Exactly what was in my mind Thanks a ton
Works well on VOID ECHO.
Best theme i've seen so far, it's just what i wanted, black & green. And works great to.
I wish you could make another zip, exactly the same theme, but with the original font inside, the font you used is a little unreadable when it's small.
Try one of the fonts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160
I am using UBUNTU 10.10. Seems a little better. You just need to flash it from recovery.
And also, I thought the animations were too much of a distraction. Returned to standard animation.
Now it is just perfect.
Thank you so much guys.

I wonder why I hadn't seen that thread before, may be because I haven't spent too much time over here Anyway since I had already made zip files for the original font as well as for comfortaa, I have attached them to the first post.
Excellent Work.Thank you guys!!!
Thanks for this theme. There is no match for the original fonts(Personal opinion). Love the battery/bootimage.
thanks for the theme.. gosh there are tons of theme compatible with void.echo.
good job!
now i am just curious about window animations. is there an animation like the flip page in windows phone 7?
i think its cool to have that one too.
and i also have used some window animations in Ubuntu, like the beam-me-up-scottie kinda animation... when the window was liked beamed up to starship enterprise... you know those animations?
its also kewl to have that...
thanks and more power!
This is currently the best theme i get for my void.
Overall it is just so awesome.
Thumbs Up for the effort.
I am on void # echo, I am continously getting sdcard mount/unmount problem. By the way I am having a class 4 sdcard and it never had this issues.
i am reinstaling fresh void#echo and will update here, if it happens again.
Good work man, I love you theme.
nice theme dude
love it
i tried your framework-res.apk because i only wanted the circular battery, but it seems that the file had more modifications that that. Anyway, love the change, but it seems that mi clock en the top bar cant be seen cause thar bar is now black as the clock font.
How can i solve this?
Thnks man!!
Nice themes.. thank you.

Visual changes directly from zipped rom

Hello guys, i'm making a custom gingerbread rom, and i need to change some things directly from the zipped rom, like the default wallpaper, icons in the desktop, theme, boot animation, etc. What files i need to change to make this ? And another thing ... anyone have the file with the bootanimation of the magic green android robot ?
Thanks

Most of your changes are in the framework-res.apk. You have to decompile and make changes in the res/drawable-hdpi folder which holds the png files for most of the stuff. The default android bootanimation png's are also there in assets/images folder.
how i can reactivate this again ? Removing bootanimation.zip ? i'm trying shadowmodbr, and for this the bootanimation its only the name Android. I like the magic green robot.

You put the bootanimation.zip file in either /system/media or /data/local. The default android bootanimation is not a zip file.
If you want the default back, just delete the bootanimation.zip files.

If you want only to replace png files, you dont need to decompile. Just open the apk with 7zip and replace the png's.

ok, i will try. I can for example choose the icons i want for default in my rom desktop ? for example, gmail, camera, etc.

If u want to change the app icons, you have to do that in the app, not in the framework. The folder is the same, /res/drawable-hdpi.

no, you don't understand what i trying to say. I'm trying to add the icons of some programs in the default desktop, and not change the icon of the programs. To minimize the 'empty' sensation of the rom installed without backups.

[Metamorph] Various window animations

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for anything bad happened to your phone after you install this window animation mod
Install this mod at your own risk!!!
Don't forget to nand backup your phone before installing this mod.
Got bored of same window animation?
Here are some window animations I gathered from various sources on Internet, made them to work with metamorph so one can change window animation easily.
Instructions:
Download and install Metamorph
Download attached zip file, save to sdcard in directory '/sdcard/AndroidThemes'
Run Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract new theme", you need to allow superuser permission
Select a zip file
After metamorph finished extracting theme, close the prompt and hit Apply all. The phone will reboot
Note:
Your phone may reboot several times
If your phone doesn't reboot, take battery out, put it back, and power on
To revert back to original window animation, get zip file on post #7
Does this work on rooted, non-deodexed, stock rom
I guess it will work.
But to be safe, nand backup first please.
u shud also include the "stock animation" u know wat i mean the default animation in case someone wants to fall back
also, can these animation be extracted and merged with framework_res?

Can't add it to post#1 because number of attachment is limited to 8.
Any link to see the animations on video?
Sorry, not aware yet of links to videos showing animations....
Anyone?

How is this program better than another (market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.animation.changer)?
Nice find!
mmm... perhaps Metamorph better in term of price and Metamorph can handle various things such as lock-screen, boot-animation, etc., not just window animation
Do you know what the phone signal icons are that the stock Optimus V uses in the notification bar? I look in framework-res and the stat-sys-signal-#'s there are all 4-bar icons, yet the icons that my phone uses are 6-bar.

hhhmm no blur? i always see these samples, but still no blur....
-----------------
ok i finally merged the blur animation to my Nessy Fenice framework-res...
and this one looks better for minimalists like me.
not too fancy animations, tho i find it majority of the window animations on BLUR is just zoom in and out.
the only blur animation i can see is the MENU sliding up with blur effect and a little bounce after that.. cute.
tho after that, its all zoom in and out. hhmmm.. i hope other transitions also have those blur effect.
Any vids for the OTHER animations? Mabe a link to the mod's source?

Nice! Thanks for the hard work

[Q] A500 status bar icons/clock/buttons change?

Hi to all...
after seraching and reading a looong time now, i am stucked, the only thing i found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033366
But i own a A500 not a Xoom... so what to do?
Wishlist:
- White Home/Backbuttons (have some, from Dexters Rom)
- white clock
- white Wifi/Battery Icon (at least not this &%$(/& stock blue)
dreaming:
when you scroll through your homescreens, a blue frame appears, how can i change those color into black? would be awesome, let it completly disappear, so transparent maybe?
I know many of you like the Blue Theme from honeycomb, but... i really hat it!!!
So, if anyone could help me... please feel free.
I am using Dexters Iconia P2-2, and dont want to use another. So maybe someone can post a modified systemui.apk ?
I have no idea if such a apk is always compatible to all ROMs from 3.1, so i dont want to test the Xoom one, and in this apk are things i dont want to have (like green google search bar, green glow and so on) modding,opening apk files by myself... i think its easier for me went back in time and kill hitler...
I wonder why there is no real theme mod around here for the Acer A500.
Hope some knowing guys can help, or want the same... let's see
Thank you anyway

thats easy....I can tell you how to do it yourself..
NOTE: an apk is just a zip file, do not decompress these, rather double click them and open them in winrar and you can see the contents.
Download the xoom theme, and there is a folder called "System App" this has the apk you want to play with. inside each apk there is a file called "res" inside this there are a few folders, the ones you are interested in are any named "drawable..." this is where all of the graphics are held.
then open the zip the rom comes in, i.e double click and winrar will open, go to system\app and find the same apk that are contained in the theme, then it is a process of swapping the files from one to the other.
when you are finished making changes, copy your edited apk back into your rom and flash it without wiping data, because it is the same rom nothing will happen apart from th4e new apk will be installed!!
Hope that helps...

Wow, great insight! Thanks MysticGenius. I had no idea the .apk's were just archives and could be opened up

yeah, this is what I love about android, you can take someone elses rom, skin the apk to your liking, even add missing applications you use regularly and just flash.
as long as you dont decompress, the signature usually stays intact.
if you need further assistance, pm me
edit : most imagery is in the drawable-mdpi folder
I just skinned the systemui.apk is 10 minutes just so you have an idea of how easy this is!!!!

[Q] Center clock/transparency

I can't seem to get either of them working. I'm using this theme, but the clock isn't centered for either. I also didn't understand the step 6.2 part in the guide; I can't find the smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/ folder. I tried this too, but it doesn't work, and if I rename SystemUI.odex, the status bar disappears altogether. I'm using mik's CM7 6.5.7. Sorry if I sound like a n00b
hey for making the clock to be placed in center you have to do following
1) use any custom launcher like adw, go launcher or zeam etc.
2) you have to edit setting of launcher and set both 'the number of rows and columns to be odd in number' ( best is to set 5x5 )
3) now after saving settings drag the clock on center of both row and columns
4 for eg in a case of 5x5 ratio you have to place your clock in 3'rd row and 3'rd column
5) now your clock will be aligned in center of screen

He's talking about the clock in the status bar, not a clock widget.
@perseus0807
If your status bar is not showing up after renaming or moving the odex file, try clearing cache and dalvik in the recovery, should be there after that.

Nope, no luck.
I'm using the Amon-Ra recovery though, could that be the problem? Should I use CWM?
