Credit goes to auni for giving the idea.
As we all know that the DefaultThemes.apk in xperia arc (dont know about others) contains 7 themes. My friend auni wanted to increase this count to 10-12.So i have been working on it from past 3 days and unfortunately am not getting any success as its the first time am trying such thing.
Am able to edit the xml and smali files properly but its the recompiling thing thats creating the problem (as far as i think).
My question here is that has anybody tried doing this thing, i mean i have heard people talking about it but has anyone actually did this in real, cause that might help me a bit!
Here is what i do...
1. Decompile DefaultThemes.apk using apktool
2.Edit the res folder and android manifest file
3.Recompile the file (using apktool offcorse) but something unusual happenes everytime i try it, still i get the files.
4. Push it using adb without signing it as its a system app.
Sometimes it work...but the files i added or modded won't be there.

Check out the "Black and White Theme", it has more backgrounds than the stock DefaultThemes.apk

More backgrounds...as in more themes to apply? Can you please post the link of the thread?
[Edit] its just the system background...number of themes are same as that in the stock apk!

A lot of stock apps as well as core .jar files in the framework folder depend on the Default Themes. I reckon it is not possible to increase the number of themes without breaking something else, if at all. And it is not really necessary as we can only use one theme at a time after all.

You are right about using one theme at a time...but imagine if its possile, m a guy who keeps on changing the theme every now and then. And changing the res folder eveytime i need new themes is something i wanna skip! Am curiois how things work in my phone as its the first time i havr dared to do something like this! I read somewhere on xds written that everything is possible...! Thanks for enlightening, will get my hands on the framework tooo! B-)

I too want to believe everything is possible, it's the very core of XDA community.
However, Sony has done quite the changes on Android. The disappointing part is, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk (the Sony framework) cannot be decompiled and recompiled correctly until we have the Sony UXP sources, which is very unlikely to happen ever. I am not suggesting you give up, just preparing you for the most possible outcome.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have tried to include an extra transparent theme to Theme Manager but it was a dead end. I ended up working around it rather than on it.

You might be the first to get it right though!
You need to focus in decompiling and recompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk successfully before doing anything because this is the SE framework and Theme Manager is controlled by it, not framework-res.apk.
Other files of interest would be framework.jar, probably android.policy.jar and maybe core.jar. Also Conversations, InfiniteView, TimeScape and their extensions are affected. Good luck!

@Varun: I believe Flow95 was referring to this theme. This thread.
Black & White Theme
This one indeed contains 14 themes in total. 7 are SONY's stock themes and 7 other are added by the developer. Thanks to Dev. Great work.
But there are many other files were included as iridaki mentioned.
And I tried only the DefaultThemes.apk from the B&W package, it didn't worked. I can only access the Stock themes. Other themes were not accessible. For that i believe i need to flash many other files that were included in the package.

It's totally OK. It's your hard earned money and you have the total control over it's usage. I shared my work in both free and paid forms so that users can test and then only buy if they want to.
I too don't buy apps that often but if a paid app is useful then I wouldn't think twice.
I myself like the stock Sony look but that doesn't means that we shouldn't try new things.
For the note, I have root but not patched services.jar or superusermod but theme works.
Yet it has been previously reported that some themes fail to work that's why I wrote that.

It's just the initial version and you are complaining about absence of assets.

I am selling it because it's useable.
An app/theme can never be complete. There will be something or the other to add/update.
That means I or anybody should never sell anything??

Honestly your price tag is way steap. No offense and you are allowed to charge whatever you want but may I suggest coming down on the price a bit. Notice anyone else selling xperia themes here on xda? Not saying you shouldn't be selling it but I'm pretty sure it's the reason you're getting so much negativity.
Good luck with the theme. It looks promising.

Thank you for your suggestions.
You see the negativity is not due to the price but differences in thinking.
I provided a free version with adequate theming if not much.
I linked to my guide and xposed module if someone wants to make his/her own theme or try before buying.
I am not forcing anyone to buy my theme.
They want 100% of everything at a little or no cost but as a user everyone needs to understand that that's not possible.
I am trying my best to provide the community with good content.
For that am charging a small amount which gives me boost to work better.
I don't work alone. We are a team. I will discuss with my team members for the price.
Once again thanks for your suggestions.
I truly appreciate your help.

Points taken. I definitely understand what you mean about the 100% of everything at no cost. I do appreciate your work though. I really like your Android L theme that you made, I'm rocking that one now on my ZU.
Anyways I do look forward to see how this theme will progress. I do have one request; and that is to not keep the Free version too far behind the paid version. I have seen so many Devs that provide a Free version to their Themes and don't update them. Maybe it's a time strain, I don't know but it would be nice to keep them maybe 1 version apart and that should spark the interests for trials to become buyers.
Cheers

Ya actually it's a time strain to provide support for 2 versions at the same time and as a Dev I need to keep the paid version updated for showing Thankfulness to all those bought the theme.
But that certainly dose not means that I will never update the free version.
Right now I am trying to add Boot animation changer to Xperia Themes[Only Paid for now] as one can with CM11 themes. Taking backup of original one works. Moving bootanimation.zip from Theme App to sd-card works too. Now I need to figure out how to apply the theme bootanimation.zip. I tried 3 different methods but all failed.

Yup that's what I exactly mean.
As Sony didn't added direct support for this in Xperia Themes, I searched for workarounds.

Seeing that it's failing I have a feeling it has to do with mounting and setting permissions. I am in no way a coder/dev of anything, but is there a way for you to add a command string to have the xperia themer(when applying the theme), send a command to a root browser program to do the copying and setting of permissions for you? Kind of how Tasker works.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hey guys,
what I'm trying to do here, is not to only gather some advice for me but for anyone else who is asking himself the same questions, especially newbies.
I hope this thread becomes a place of vivid discussion about recent ROMs (and Kernels), their pros and cons and also what you like most about them.
If it is running well like I'd imagine it, I'd as well collect all your information in the main post like experienced bugs and things alike.
So let me be the first one to share his infos.
I'm stuck now since dunno maybe September or so on AOSP Extended 4.6 and am pretty satisfied with it.
Using it with Arnav Gosain's Velvet Kernel 6.7 and Spectrum set on Balanced. Also am running Magisk and xposed with several modules.
Unfortunately I experience random reboots on a regular basis - maybe once or twice a day. But seems to only happen during idle, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I'm thinking about switching to an Oreo ROM and am curious about which one would be the best to choose.
So come on guys. Everyone's invited to take part in that little discussion.
P.S.: I know there are already several "Whats the best ROM"-threads but they seem to be meant only to serve single persons interest. That's what I definitely not want to achieve on here.
P.P.S.: Please tell me if you're favorite ROM is missing from the poll - I'll try to add it as soon as possible!
Looks like the Poll isn't editable afterwards. Too bad. So I hope I just have the most popular ROMs in the list..

I use default kernel settings for franco kernel with no problems. The rom comes with google framework like dialer, contacts, calender and google assistant works as well and preloaded Gapps. And for Google camera manually downloaded gcam apk and flashed camera2api from magisk to work and believe me the the HDR+ images are mind blowing.
What about burn in issue? Or maybe You have boe LCD?

There are 2 transparent themes in the miui themes app. I've been using it on my Transparent Edition from day one
Here they are
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18-UcyzjkfJOpwUDJoLVzJUuIJ4ct3Se7/view?usp=sharing
I also have Spacewalk lock screen in my Mi 9 but with chinese letters, annoying. When I try other spacewalk theme from same phone shared here, after a while it is reverse to stock one. What can I do?
is default Alita (mi 9 Explorer) fingerprint animation present in eu dev and stable ROMs for all mi 9's?
basically, when and if i get this phone i'd like to flash eu dev or stable miui, possibly even Globe ROM (rom builder) and am wondering if by flashing the device i'll lose the fingerprint animation in the process - the one on all the youtube videos of mi 9 explorer / transparent (yes, i know it's not real!)
thanks
like the one in this video
Here's the theme without Chinese/Thai, I believe. Will edit if it doesn't work after my phone arrives next week, hopefully!
To install a MTZ file you can try this free app, just follow the instructions on the page to install mtz
found it!!! it's called mi 9 TE theme and can be found here (or if that fails a quick google search brings it up)
apparently it's available in the theme store as well

After applying it with miui theme editor from app store (bcuz im with global) the theme is auto switching to default after a hour or so.

Yep, that's the app doing that not the theme, according to reviews. Try theme swap by Siddharth shakya. Like I say, I can't yet as have only just ordered phone. But it may be better to use that app

Ok, so I think I've found them, maybe. Again, I don't have the phone yet but can I ask, do different Chinese characters appear for different actions, or is it only the characters seen in OP video?
basically, I'm looking for the same characters in the xml file within the mtz file.
(you can use 7zip to open the mtz then (again with 7zip) open lockscreen/advance/then open manifest.xml with notepad and view them, 95+ percent is English, with just some Chinese characters every now and then. I don't know if it'll even work if I just delete all of them, or they're part of the coding..
Tried Google translate app for Chinese characters / sentences using camera, but it's not giving accurate translation. I mean, the words are REALLY random!
I'm not comfortable uploading an edited mtz for you guys to try, in case something goes horribly wrong. But feel free to have a look. Maybe you guys with the phone already can compare the screen message characters with the ones in the manifest. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot altogether!
Good luck. Hope it helps. I'll keep scanning for the same characters in op video... Will keep you posted
what about this thread, the manifest is a different size. you could try and replace the manifest with the one in thread mentioned and see if that works.
the only reason i say to replace the manifest and not just use the mtz as your theme (assuming it works) is because there are elements missing - such as themed mms, contacts, settings etc etc which are present in original mtz. the combination of the two may make it all pukka without the chinese text. (JUST GUESSING AND HOPING!). other files in the mtz container/lockscreen/advance/manifest are the same size.
the clocks in root of mtz are different, so i'm not sure what's going on there. perhaps just the different colour (white vs red/white)
can't wait to get my hands on the phone and have a tinker!!

have you seen my previous post, there is a modded, or at least different in size, manifest.xml in the link provided for another mtz file, might save you some time.

silly question, have you searched the theme store in miui for 'mi9 TE' from the dev Cháu Hoáng? might have a better or no chinese/thai text version

sweet, thanks! have sent you a request for persmission to access the file...
what i don't understand is why there's Thai bits showing in the first place because if you look in lockscreen/advance/notif there's english day/dates. where did you find the Thai images/text?
i'd really like to have just english dates showing on my lockscreen
i've found another one!! this one is 34MB and can be found here, is this any better?

Here's a free app for installing mtz files
EDITED OP to show this

Probably doesn't matter, the themes don't stick for more than an hour or so when applied with apps. You have to only use the them store, for now!
