No software, but these are he essentials
Apktool
7zip/WINrar
GIMP/Photoshop/Paint.net
General idea where things are at
I Mean, the Stausbar and dropdown images are easy. Wouldn't make me long to do that. But a full theme, it's ridiculous how long it takes. Things are so different from the S3 too. I'm not even close to being done with mine lol.

Yeah of course. Lemme track one down for ya now, u first you need to DL the Android Sdk and Java JDK. But that stuff may be part of the Guide that I'm looking for. Hang tight!
I always liked this guide for ADB. Setting up he system variables is very important. That where the PATH comes into play with ADB.
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Take a read here for apktool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213985
I must warn you, with our devices there are work arounds with a bunch of system apps and framework as well. Before you jump n with both feet, I'd do a bunch of reading as you go along. I mean read abut everything.
How to properly edit .9 PNGs
Xmls
Smali
And such......
But once you get the android Sdk installed and apktool (make sure you extract all 3 files to your Windows directory) the easiest for me to start with was the systemui.apk. That's where you'll find the statusbar Icons, and toggles, dropdown, and such. I could keep going, and going lol but I sure don't have the time for tht lol. There are a TON of amazing Guides out there. I'm still a novice myself, but there's always something to learn. Hope this helps ya out a bit

Yeah it is super overwhelming alot of the times. Unfortunately for myself, Instead of focusing on one task at a time, i try to do 6 or 7 at a time. Dont do that lol, cause you'll stress out. I don't mind admitting that:thumbup:
But if i were you, you already have the SDK and I'm assuming ADB all set. Extract the 3 necessary files for apktool. Rip my SystemUI.apk from my ICS theme, and see what I edited. Look at the titles. Same may look and sound familiar and most will boggle yur mind. Take all those images from drawable-xxhdpi and put them in a new folder. Grab a Fresh systemui.apk from a stock ROM and decompile it. Take my images and start changing the colors. Be careful of the .9 images. You'll see the Black ticks on the outside of them. Make sure they don't get touched, or the apk won't compile, and if it does things will not look right or even FC.
This is where I started, with the systemui.apk. But Read, Read, read. It'd the best way to learn. I could help with the basics, and some other things, but i still bug the he'll out of other themers. Mainly Dazednconfused and Rompnit, but there super cool about it. They love that they can give back. Anyway, im turning this into a Guide/Novel haha.... You can hit menus on Gtalk if ya need to. I'm always around pate in the afternoon [email protected]

What your wanting to do will not work. I will not do something that I know will not work. You have to remember that you want a black background when the letters you type will be black.
I recommend to you that you use the bubbles in the rom now.

Hello guys! I just made a theme (using Sony Theme Creator) very simple and i could call him a dark theme. It's grey and black essentially. I made it because I can't find anything good on playstore.
NOTE: The images (background and lockscreen) aren't mine!!! I picked them on google!
Feel free to make suggestions!
Icon pack - Original by Sony. If you want that I use yours, I can do it natively.
Note: In my phone I'm currently using Immaterialis Icon Pack.
