Is it possible to mix-and-match components from different themes? For instance I wanted to use the dialer/contacts, calculator and messaging apps from one theme with another theme but keep the other themed UI components from the second theme. Both themes work on my current rom/kernel setup.
Can I just overwrite the files in the second theme with the stuff I wanted to keep from the first theme? If so, what files would I need?
bump?
Can I just copy over the apks from the one theme into the other or is it more complicated?

Hi
I have been using CM6 Nightlies for a while now, and I have been lurking about in the theme section for a while, and I would like to know how I can theme my Cyanogenmod roms?
Is it a case of actually flashing themed roms instead of Cyanogenmod?
I know ADWLauncher (included in Cyanogenmod) can be themed independently, but I am still a n00b to themes so would like to know what the best options are!
Thanks
Stu

Check out the threads over in the general android theming forum, especially this one
Sage words below
TIP: Your first theme should really just be a mixing and matching of other themes to get use to the process.
TIP: d/l and look at other themes and see what the have done, using the same process below you can port and mash themes. To see what is themed go to the res/drawable-xxx folders and sorte the png's in there to newest at the top and you'll see what they have changed.
TIP: system/app/xxx.apk are where most apps that are themed are contained in these apks you'll find a res folder and in there you have a bunch of folders. you really on need to look in the drawable-xxx ones mdpi, no-dpi, land and so forth. these pngs make up the apps look and feel changing them will theme the app.

So I noticed that the theme chooser apk in Eclipse 3.1 does not theme some things that the apk in Blackbean or SmoothRom does. For example, camera and keyboard. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the apk between the ROMS?
thanks
Hi, I believe Theme Chooser is just the software that allow you to apply themes.
The actual modifications of the theme are in another apk that should be called "yourtheme.apk" or else.
So if you want to modify/swap images, do it in your "yourtheme.apk" not in Theme Chooser
Oh wow i wasn't aware of that. I will give it a go and see what happens. thanks

You can't - the ones you listed will force close or not function correctly - different framework
if you want to change the look use a theme in theme chooser

I have already said - get a theme (xda or playstore) and apply in theme chooser
Or make your own theme for theme chooser (search how)
or replace all the pngs in the apps yourself
Hello guys,
Im building a custom rom which will be pure kitkat base on AOSP and will be name Bleach Xtreme. The problem is that for me to make it original and unique I need to theme it in white instead of any Black from kitkat. I like to see something different and unique. How can I archive theming to white the status bar, navigation background and same for the System Settings, SystemUI like popups etc and few system apps like calculator, etc?
I can use the help and willing to donate if ask or need it.
Thanks
Anyone have some time to guide? I see my concept was already stole on a new rom. Lol
Try using XPOSED Framework with XBLAST TOOLS and/or the Frame work.apk
Not much of a Dev but I know a Lil bit

Well the problem is that i know how to do that. I want to theme manually the framework-res.apk, Settings.apk and the systemui.apk. I want to theme the rom itself.
Thanks very much for your help
Not sure if this is the right place or not, but I just got my s5 tonight and I would like to theme it a bit by changing some icons. On my old phones, I would just pull framework res or sysUI and replace the pngs I wanted to, then push it back to the phone. It does not look like that is an option since it looks like most everything is qmg now. Should I use Samsung theme designer or do custom roms play nicer with custom themes? I am rooted, but I have not installed safestrap or a rom yet.
Check out themes n apps section.. or search for an app on xda called qmg2png. It'll convert qmg to png for editing
