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.

excellent work
i am digging the image too and can you port maps,many of the other apps are working without any mods
Review no major changes i think the lack of framework and ui is the reason

Sony already have similar design philosophy and it'll be awesome to see Sony (I really hope) new UI in symbiosis with Android L...
Great things are coming...

[PORT][CM11]XPERIA Z2 framework AND APPS SYSTEM UI MUCH MORE

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.

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

I understand Bro,but here's the catch.There is no one framework-res.apk which works on all devices.Thus,these changes to the apk and framework.jar file have To be made.Wait a minute,I can make things convenient for you.I will help you extract the framework from stryflex and make it a flashable zip then,you flash it through your recovery and help me test.How about that?
