How to install theme in wildfire?

Well, it seems there are lots more to learn with my wildfire..
i've search few thread but their problems were not solved.
I've downloaded a theme file which i got it from internet, it's an .apt file. i have no idea how to install it into my wildfire.
here is what i've tried:
zip the apt file
go into recovery mode
install zip from sd card.
and..
nothing happened then =(
anyone knows please teach me? thanks a thousand times =D

i dont think those .apt files are supported on android phones.
if you wanna theme up your notification bar etc go here and upload your framework.apk

if you're looking for an actual whole theme for the phone, look around xda for a port, i don't think there are many or any for the wildfire. these are usually flashable zips.

wow. thanks for your fast reply.
i've actually found another way, which is download themes using ADW launcher and it worked.
just that the dock can only fit 2 icons and cannot be added. just figuring why... the screen shot of that theme showed 4 icons..

how is this http://circle.glx.nl/ working to change my statusbar ? what should i do ?

HC Theme for ICS: Protips?

I'm currently working on a Honeycomb theme for ICS. I really prefer HC's UI style but I still want the features of ICS. I'm running into some obstacles though.
I'm directly modifying SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Is there a better way than this?
9-patch PNGs are giving me issues. I've figured out how to use draw9patch but I can't get the PNGs to compile properly. I need one for the notification clock panel but I can't figure out how the 9-patch should be because I can't decompile either.
I've searched for about 3 days but I can't find help on how to decomiple and then recompile ICS APKs with apktool. Does anyone have a good source?
Would anyone else be interested in this mod? I'll try to figure out how to make a CWM ZIP if there's demand.

Pm me , I can give you my work shop that I setup for Ics.
And there is a better draw 9 patch tool , but it is not free.
But I gotta tell you now, I can help but I won't hold your hand with every step.
Don't have the time and the time I got goes to the theme building for flexreaper.

[Q] How to make 1% battery mod?

Hello, i thinking if someone can help me.. i succesfully changed those battery icons to SystemUI.apk but that battery is not in 1% procent..
i also changed that stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml.. but this not helped either..
then i tried add those lines to public.xml but then it says that those are not decleared... okay.. we just need working apktools..
i can decompile systemUI.apk, but when i compile it back, its only 1,9mb.. before that it was 2.7mb.. so thats the problem.
so how i can get it working?

A while ago, somebody in the MOAR thread asked about battery animations. I decided to make a few with a how to. Hopefully this will help you. If not, upload your systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-apk, and I can try compiling it for you.

Google Edition SystemUI

Hey guys, Been working on my rom for the S4..
Although I cant seem to get systemUI to recompile.. Has anyone had any success doing so ? If so what are you using ?
EDIT: To clarify, Im attempting to recompile the google edition SystemUI.apk.

Came across the following thread: HERE.
Explains that by deleting both system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" from the layout folder your able to recompile, then re-adding them back manually to the .apk.

4.2.2

i got it to recompile when i changed the battery icon of m3ddog's 4.2.2 GE ROM. i just did SOP, using apk multitool. it should work

Since we're talking about SystemUI.apk... any way of porting the TouchWiz feature of showing the status bar even in fullscreen?
I know there are apps that display a statusbar, but the problem is that it's just opening an app - you have to "multitask" back after. Samsung's one runs as an overlay and you don't exit the app you're currently in. Try it in Plants vs Zombies or any other app that doesn't support running in the background.

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.

i recommend to use m9

@ChickenNugget
Try using m9 and these are the basic differences u will note:
sliders
Settings app
Progressing icon/bar(the one appering during optimization of apps) changes
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?
Here are a few screenshots:

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
