Theme chooser requires CM framework to work, so forget about adding it to stock ROM

no way

The T-Mobile Theme Engine is not just the Theme Chooser application, but changes buried deep in the framework. It was made for 2.3+, and for 2.2 support, it needs a lot of work (directing back SystemUI.apk resources to framework.apk, etc), and most of the themes won't work correctly, as they basically rely on the CyanogenMod structure, what is now miles away from AOSP.
Adding this theme manager to an existing ROM is a pain in the ass: first you need to get all the classes changed by the Theme Engine Overlay, then baksmali these files from a, the original ROM you want to add TTE to, b, a stock ROM compiled without adding TTE c, a stock ROM compiled with TTE. Diff the files from b and c, then diff a and b, and add the [b,c] differences to a without the [a,b] differences. That's all you need to do, and as a developer myself, I can tell you it will not just take weeks (8hours daily), but half a year of work.

what
What theme on my nexus 7 ?

Thank sir

You could also try the installing the Xposed framework, which can facilitate the theming of icons and such.

I think that's only for 4.0+ or 4.1+

Ya....you can add.....by using XPOSED FRAMEWORK just Google it.

Not sure who all has seen this, but you can now fully modify your stock rom to almost anything you'd like. Per app DPI, no ascending ringer, themeing...unlimited possiblities. I wanted to create a thead for us to discuss settings and features and leave the original thread open for dev discussion.

This is the link to download modifications: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/
I have per app dpi working on messenger, gmail, and email at 220. For some reason I can't get tablet mode to work but I'm sure that will be fixed soon. Post any comments or questions here.
Thanks!

Works on any rom that I've seen. I'm using it on odex 4.1.2 DLL4
Here is a link to multi-window enable all apps. I have tested and it works great on odex DLL4. Another mod we've been looking for on stock roms!

In my humble opinion Xposed Framework is the best thing that has been done for the community since the old Rom Kitchen website for the first Galaxy S.
But for some strange reason it's not getting the attention it deserves from chefs and devs
The xposed framework should work on any touchwizz based rom

I agree entirely...
The problem is that there is a difficulty level step to overcome. Once you learn how to use this though, you find it's much better than other methods.
The best thing to do right now is to encourage devs to submit their modifications into the repository linked there. This is because the files should work for future ROM versions too, but if the developer updates their patch, it's nice to get notified about the update.
I want to push this much harder in the new year as the new way to modify your phone...
I'd love to have a "no sms in call log" modification
Try "Samsung log converter" in play store
Thank you, I already use that but I'm looking for something that is a plugin for this mod.

That's definitely possible
I'm constantly telling people about Xposed framework and mods..they're so awesome.
Hmm, I never considered this but this looks cool. I've two questions though, I've read the topic of Pulsur word by word, and I guess it doesn't mess up with any system files right (sorry I didn't get all the technical words)? I am a stock forever user and I like it that way. Secondly, to use it, I just need to download the apk of Xposed framework and install it, then I need to download the mod and install it, right?
Thanks in advance.

yes, there is an exposed script to install themes, but it's not cm theme engine, which means the theme apps are not interchangable. you would use xtheme apks. these are starting to gain popularity. there was a while when cm said thney wouldnt be using their theme engine in new builds so xthemewas all we had, and people started porting themes over.
and where I get the script exposed or Theme Chooser?

not that iv seen unless you have jellybean or higher
you can use xposed moduals but again mainly for jellybean and higher
The only thing you can do on gingerbread to theme without doing all the hard stuff yourself is use cm7 and then download theme chooser themes to apply in theme chooser - these themes can be found on the play store or by searching xda

Its FCing because the modules in the download tab arent for gb. look in the xposed module subforum for gb compatible modules. or in the thread of the framework is a link to the port of xposed framework for gb. there you will find some ported modules.

1.HERE IS XPERIA FRAMEWORK PORTED FOR CM11 BY ME
2.IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE THOUGH I WASNT ABLE TO CHANGE SOME ELEMENTS AS PER XPERIA BUT FRAMEWORK HAS NO BUGS ITS TESTED ON MY PHONE
Note: 1.it may show no network access on every boot just press the back button .i doesnt affect your mobile network
2.it may not work if u r using a theme it will only work on stock ui theme
3.this is mod is as per build 02/08 so using m9 is highly recommended
4.DO NOT FLASH THIS FRAMEWORK IF IT IS YOUR FIRST BOOT IN ROM OR DONT WIPE DATA WHEN THIS FRAMEWORK IS ALREADY INSTALLED IT WILL GO IN BOOTLOOP
UPDATE:IT DOESNT WORK ON LATEST CM11 BUILDS
3.U MAY FIND SCREEN SHOTS OF FRAMEWORK IN THE LOWER POSTS SCREENSHOTS OF APPS WILL BE UPLOADED SOON
4.I REQUEST ANYONE TO PLEASE UPLOAD THE SCREEN SHOTS AFTER TESTING OF THE APPS
5.THE MOD JUST CHANGES THE FRAMEWORK-RES.APK SO IF ANY ONE WANTS TO REVERT BACK JUST REPLACE THE FRAMEWORK-RES.APK OF MOD WITH OF YOUR RESPECTIVE ROM,a backup is still recommended
6.the mods are in attachments due to some reasons i have TO KEEP THE MUSIC AND CLOCK WIDGETS SEPERATE

just get back cm11 m9 i'll test it
Currently downloading CM11 again.
I will add some Screenshots later.
Edit: I've noticed no changes. Only the settings look different and nearly every preinstalled app crashes when I want to open it. Tried it on the newest CM 11 nightly. Later I will test it together with the M9 build.

@ChickenNugget
Try using m9 and these are the basic differences u will note:
sliders
Settings app

On off sliders change
Cursors change
And i vl be soon uploading a full xperia pack compatible with m9

With the M9 Version of CM11 everything works just fine. As this is the Z2 Framework will the Xperia Z2 apps like the lockscreen or launcher work, too?

yeah, but it's not like a full rom of xperia with all the features, design, apps, etc.
like this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo.../port-nexsense-sense-6-0-wifi-fix-m8-t2703397
which is actually a port of the original M8 system.
the system is still cm11 only with the design of xperia.
@dors1234 Yeah you are correct but you are comparing two totally different things i am trying to make the rom look almost like xperia and i m still working on it, the things which u r talking about is way too difficult even for a highly qualified developer, both the concepts r port only,and its not so easy to do this task too it took me 4 days you cant really comparing it to a theme and the port you are comparing to is still in alpha state
