I was wondering how would I go about theming an Apk. I already know about UOT Kitchen but I not sure if there is anything there that'll single out a specific apk(Launcher Pro for example). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Move the APK to your computer then drag it into winrar. Once in there, you can drag any of its graphic files out to edit. Once your done editing, drag them back into winrar to the exact spot you took the particular graphic file from. Give me a minute and I will tell you which directory you can find the graphics at.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
The graphic files can be found in Res/drawable. There are sometimes several.drawable directories so check them all because you will probably need to take things out of each of them.
It really is this simple. No need for any.special tools other than winrar and a graphics editor.

Apk files are almost like zip files and rar files, except they aren't compressed.to save space. You can open and extract them the same way. For theming you don't want to extract though, just click on a file and drag it out to edit, then drag it back in when your done.

Check the drawable hdpi, skip mdpi because that's a lower Res for older or cheaper phones.
go ahead and not listen to the previous posts. that advice will get you in trouble. do not use winrar, and if you edit a .9 png without patching it, the apk will force close.
you need to decompile the apk in apk manager, make the changes you want to the images. some xml edits may be required aswell. once your done, recompile.
stick with 7zip if your going to open an apk. winrar can cause issues.

Gunnermike should be one of the first people you should ask when dealing with theming. He knows what's going on better than just about everyone else.

what if i want to take the email.apk out of a theme and use it in the rom that theme is designed for? The reason for this is the Rom im using does not have sync all for my work emails but a theme i was using for that Rom does. Can this be done and how can you do it?

If its a system app first you'll need Root.. and Root Explorer..
Open root explorer go into "system/app" and you'll see "email.apk".. make a copy of it and store it somewhere you'll remember.. Fire up whatever Rom or theme.. go back into root explorer.. find your "email.apk" hold down on it and select "move".. go back to the "system/app" folder and place it there.. If there's another there copy over it if you dont want it or else just rename it to whatever(email1.apk for example)
LOOK CLOSELY
You'll see that the permissions are not correct. They need to be rw-r--r--
To change permissions
Hold down on the apk
Choose "permissions"
Select all three boxes going down on the left side.
And the one AT THE "TOP MIDDLE"
REBOOT
enjoi
PS: If the app doesnt show up on reboot.. its not compatible with the Rom or Theme

Good question... You can do that but you'll still have to set the permissions correctly.. Tell me which Rom and Theme.. Im sure your at a PC right now if you want to extract the APK use 7-Zip. It's far better than Winrar.

So i got it to work. All I did was use 7zip to open the zip file of each and deleted the email.apk from the Rom and then copied the email.apk from Gunners theme. Then i used bootrecovery to reflash. for same measures i formated the caches first.

APK manager. It's harder them what people think they are talking about, and it gets write complex, BUT with practice and patience it gets easier.
I would suggest using Gimp to edit your images, and add people have stated, the .9.png are the trickiest. I made a thread in the DX2 theme section, Peperm1nt explains it well, as does Kevin3228.
Good luck, if I have time later I'll link tutorials

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

Transparent Market 2.3.4
Adb push to /system/app/Vending.apk
Make sure you delete the com.android.vending-1.apk in /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
You can also flash this if you put it in a flashable zip compatable with your clockwork; just take a zip folder you previously downloaded and delete the app or apps that are in the app folder of the zip and copy the Vending. apk to it and flash.
Here's a link to a buddy o' mine's thread, that has Black transparent facebook, gingerbread keyboards, and such.
The name's Fernando, all his stuff is compatable with the epic you just can't use his flash script, but you can have your own made, or do like I say in post #13

Less Transparent, Inverted Gmail.apk
Hey Deciple -- I've been using a slightly less transparent version of the new Gmail and wanted to share. It makes visibility a little bit easier in the mail screen:
Installation is the same as above: goes in system/app/Gmail.apk
I'm pretty sure the opaqueness (or opacity) in this apk is controlled by a transparentish png.
But here's some screencaps of the Gmail apk you posted versus this more opaque version (on my setup).
Credit goes to the folks at Inversion Conversion on Droidforums, not me.
I think we should have a Transparent/Inverted apps section too, cuz they look soo much better than the stock.
Is there any way to do this with root explorer? Or any chance someone could put these in a zip or a little more instruction of what the op was talking about...adding to a previously flashed zip? Sorry to be such a noob, but I deleted both and can't figure out how to get them back

Ya - you can do it with Root Explorer.
With the Gmail.apk: download it, save to sdcard.
Open Root Explorer, navigate to sdcard
Long-click Gmail.apk, Copy.
back out to root folder, go to system, then app
(this is what I do.. just to create a backup)
Find existing Gmail.apk, rename to Gmail.bak
Paste the new Gmail.apk in that folder.
Find it, Long click, select Permissions
Under "Read" Check all 3, under "Write", Check ONLY user, under "Execute" uncheck all of them.
4 boxes checked, total. So it reads: rw-r--r--
Then exit, reboot if you want, and you should be set.

Ok.........What you do is , If you ever downloaded a flashable zip, that has a market in it or any other app for that matter,that you know is compatable with your version of clockwork, then you open it up with 7zip, then you should see a folder called meta-inf and system. Open the system folder and there should be another folder in there called app. Open that one and delete whatever's in there (after you've presumably copied and saved the entire zip If you want to keep what's inside)and replace it with the app or app's you want to flash.

1. +1 I have no green in anything on my phone, white would be great.
2. -1 this is cool its to show you that there is more in the description, fade effect.
3. -1 I think the comment area when you more should be white BG so its easier to read and rarely used.
@Deciple I was wondering if You could make a gmail version same as you have it (Transparent) but make the text another color than green (not a fan of green), Maybe White main text and blue "from" text, just like in the stock Samsung email app.

Same Problem here!
Had to restore my recovery.
Tried a lot of different things. Like ad push, adb install.
Vendig apk was under /system/app, but wont show up as runnable app.
Looking for some assistance on getting a themed app to behave properly. It's a keyboard (Flext9) I downloaded from the Amazon Market for free as a promotion (normally 5.00). I have NO intention on distributing this at all. It's solely for me, and as a learning experience.
This is my first go round at themeing..so if I don't understand what your telling me..go easy..
With the help of DroidXCon, nitsuj17 (how to write up), Chopperdog, Gunnermike, and google, I figured out how to decompile, edit the xml's, recompile, edit the images in gimp, re-draw the patches with draw9patch for the .9's, re-compile .9's with xUltimate, replace the images with 7zip.
At this point if I sign the apk, it breaks like two or three of the functions and robs the xml edits, and .9 edits. It basicallly screws things up royally. (I have used multiple signing tools and they all do the same thing)
The way I get it to function is to install the stock flext9 keyboard, overwrite the app file in data\app with the themed one, change the permissions and owner using root explorer, and I'm good. It's fully functional and themed appropriately. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/SC20110621-233700.png.
The only thing with this is I get an error message when I try to change a setting in preferences [Amazon Marketplace something..Error with the application. Please re-download from Amazon Marketplace] here's the logcat of that error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/logcat.txt
It only happens once, then not again.
The REAL problem is when I reboot the phone the app is removed from keyboard and languages in settings, and the option in input method is completely gone. However, the app is still installed. The file is still in data\app and if I try to re-install, it prompts me to overwrite the "installed" app. (There is a already a version of this installed. Do you want to overwrite?). However, the app name has changed in the settings-manage applicatons-All from Flext9 to com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk.. (the file name in data\app) which is different.
Trying to get this to work... more from a "I want to conquer this thing" than I reallly want this keyboard..haha..
any help would be greatly appreciated..
thanks in advance.

If you cant get it signed correctly you could use ninjamorph app to decompile, swap out the stock files with your themed .png and .xml files.
The Good: decompiles, recompiles and swaps out the app for you without having to resign it.
The Bad: You have to swap out files one by one, it can take awhile.
I wouldnt use it to theme anything but it works great for swapping out files you have already modded. I used it on my TW4 launcher. Was really easy to pull my modded files from dropbox to SD and swap em out..
If you have a hard time with it. Check out YouTube.

I wouldnt use it to theme anything but it works great for swapping out files you have already modded. I used it on my TW4 launcher. Was really easy to pull my modded files from dropbox to SD and swap em out..
If you have a hard time with it. Check out YouTube.

yo thanks man...I hadn't tried that yet..but I'll give it a go...
I am assuming I would want to swap out the .9's with the themed/re-patched/recompiled .9's I have correct?
Yes.... Especially the .9's! Ninjamorph will give you some options as far a resizing the .png's but as you prob already guesssed dont try it with .9 images. Just swap em out 1 for 1.

I thought so..thanks..
Yeah..it's locking up...when I try to select the new image to replace with...force closed twice..
Tell me this doctor...why does the 'values' folder with the xml files I edited not show up when you "open archive" with 7zip or when the .apk is extracted with ninjamorph? Hard to change if it ain't there.

haha..you don't have to man...unless you want too..
com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk...decompile with apktool...file res\values\colors.xml ---styles.xml--edit..recompile...7zip open archive..same files no where to be found.. where do these go?..do the values get pushed to all the other xml files..?
Maybe this is the problem.
When I sign the apk..it seems like the .9's take, but the xml edits go to hell..and I lose the trace input function (hmmm...I edited the xml for that in the disappearing values\colors.xml file...) and the voice command function is broke as well. (connection error).. HOWEVER, with a davlik wipe, fix permissions in cwm, the app is still there after reboot....(this has been the standard with apk manager opt 16 and autosign tool)
Still unsuccesfull with ninjamorph
if signing is the problem then all you need to do is decompile the apk, make all your edits, and then recompile. Then to bypass the signing just extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original unthemed apk and add them back into your newly compiled apk.

Sorry, ive been busy updating my themes. Some apk's like phone.apk, swype.apk and camera.apk are very tempramental when it comes to modding them. I these .apk's you have to drag and drop your modded files into place. Im not sure if that is the problem tho as these .apk's will usually show up in app/drawer and even will launch but will FC upon opening them To be honest im a little stumped on this one. Looks like you did everything right, so im not to sure whats going on there.

I've been looking around for a few hours now trying to figure out how to edit these xml files with no luck. I've found numerous tutorials but none of them seem to get me in the right direction. I can't get passed opening the files.
I've tried TextWrangler on my Mac and Notepad++ in Windows ... both give me a bunch of giberish.
I am able to see a few lines of txt like layout_height and textColor but there are no values listed to edit??? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong xml files?
Ultimately I'm trying to see if I can adjust the layout and txt color of the notification pulldown.
Any suggestions?

When you go to extract the apk, just decompile, DO NOT extract. (If using apkmanager)
Then I use Notepad++ for any changes. Just remember to not extract the apk, just decompile it, then go into the projects folder and it will be in there.

I believe you can actually adjust the size of that by adjusting the size of the images. Try making the images wider, and leave the height the same, and it "should" shrink the images, and in turn shrink the bar.

Looks good so far... How did you change the color of the app labels to red? Was that in UOT Kitchen?
As far as the update zip... I couldn't quite figure it out but I got it to work. There's probably an easier way, but i extracted a zip I downloaded from UOT and replaced the framework_res with my updated one. Then I used testsign.jar (requires java SDK) to sign the update.
I dont have access to the links I found for this, if someone else has a better way please let us know.

Thanks MT.. I will try to get on.. what site and channel? The app labels I can't take credit for. I installed adw launcher and a free red theme.. would have to look it up again. That takes care of the dock and app drawer and icons and labels. I guess you would have to install adw and the theme yourself to get the whole effect.
The notification pull down menu I edited in UOT except for the gps, bt, airplane ect was just MT's Revolt icons I just colored them red from green using paint.net. I want to change the top bar icons.. just have to find some I like. The battery mod was in UOT Kitchen.
I tried to set the wallpaper as "default_wallpaper" in lge-res.apk but after replacing the lge-res.apk in /system/framework it doesn't actually set the wallpaper after rebooting. Wonder if it would after flashing if that makes a difference? or would that be in the script? Or could I only do that if I were modding a entire ROM?
I will try to do something with adw launcher so I can call it my own but lacking time right now. Thanks for the help!!

Hey guys! Someone recently posted that they wanted to start to making their own themes and I posted a very long reply and figured, might as well post a "somewhat easy to understand" tutorial here for everyone.
So you want to make your own themes?
First off, it is important to know that if you plan on porting any themes over and releasing it to the masses, that you get permission from the theme owner first!!
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE EXPLODES OR MELTS! lol
NOTE: IF YOU'RE A NOOB (you know if you are) DO NOT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE THAT ENDS IN ".9" UNTIL YOU READ UP ON THEM.......A LOT! IF YOU'RE JUST REPLACING AN IMAGE, THEN READ ON.
What you will need:
Apkmanager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
7zip: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
An empty flashable zip: http://www.multiupload.com/DBEMBUOCND
Lot's of time on your hands!
GETTING STARTED:
Apkmanager is going to be your "all-in-one" tool for making a theme in Windows.
(I'll go into all the options of apkmanager a little later)
The process you need to follow is actually kind of simple. It's just very time consuming.
First you will need to make the images that you want (unless you are porting a theme).
Now what you need to do is one way or another, get the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk from your phone, you also need the RES_cappuccino.apk (found in /system/framework. (If you don't want to mess with using adb, use Root Explorer, just copy the apk then paste on your sdcard, then copy and paste from your sdcard onto your pc.)
Extract apkmanager to somewhere easy like the desktop and you should end up with a folder named "apkmanager" or whatever.
Inside that folder, you should have the following folders:
Other
place-apk-here-for-modding
place-apk-here-for-signing
place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize
place-ogg-here
projects
Then the following files:
log
Script
DO NOT MODIFY THE NAMES OF ANY OF THESE FILES OR FOLDERS OR NOTHING WILL WORK!
Take the 3 files that you got from your phone and place them in the "place apk here for modding" folder.
Double click to open the "Script" file
Press "22" and hit enter to set your current job
Select either 1,2 or 3 for whichever apk you want to start on first and hit enter
Select "1" to extract. You do not need to decompile unless you are editing XML files.
Once the extraction is done, go inside the "projects" folder and now you have a folder inside there with whatever the name is of the apk you just extracted.
Inside that folder are the images and XML files you need to replace (you might not have to edit any of the XML files, that's a little more advanced unless you already know how to.)
Most of the images you will need to edit will be in the following folders of each apk:
res>drawable
res>drawable-hdpi
Once you get everything done and you're ready to test it out, you need to go back to that "Script" file in apkmanager and open it back up. Now you're going to do pretty much the same stuff you did when you were extracting the apk, in order to rezip the apk.
In the Script for apkmanager, you're going to press "22" and hit enter, then select which file you want to compile first by either pressing 1, 2 or 3.
Select the file and hit enter, then press "3" and press enter
Now press "1" so that apkmanager knows it's a system file and will retain the files signature.
As long as you didn't mess anything up during the process of changing stuff, you shouldn't receive any errors. If you do, you need to figure out what it was you messed up on and fix it.
Go through and rezip all the apks that you edited. Once that is done, you will go to your "place apk here for modding" folder again and you will notice that you have 3 new files in there:
unsignedframework-res.apk
unsignedSystemUI.apk
unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk
Remember that empty flashable zip you downloaded earlier? Now you need it.
Right click on the flashable zip and mouse over "7zip" and click on "Open Archive"
Take the unsignedSystemUI.apk and place it in the "app" folder. Now rename that to its original name:
SystemUI.apk
Now take that unsignedframework-res.apk and unsignedRES_cappuccino.apk and place them in the "framework" folder of the flashable zip. Rename those to:
framework-res.apk
RES_cappuccino.apk
Now you can close out of the flashable zip file and place it on your sdcard.
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik.
Now go back and flash the zip file you just put on your sdcard.
Since you wiped your cache and your dalvik, the reboot will take a little while. You should now be good to go!
NOTE: Since I did not create apkmanager, I will not be able to answer many questions about it but feel free to ask. If I don't have an answer for you, Just go back to the post above where you downloaded it, and post your question there.
Please enjoy and happy themeing!!!!!!
And to add. There is also another great way for beginners to start making themes. It's very simple, all you do is select the changes you want made, then upload the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk and it does all the work for you!!!! Even puts everything into a flashable zip! All you have to do is download the zip file then flash it! Here's the link to the UOT Theme Kitchen:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Also, thanks to drt054 for pointing out that Apkmanager is being improved on and the name is changing to APK Multi-Tool. If you use this tool instead, I will not be able to help with any troubleshooting because I just recently started using it. You can download it here:
APK Multi-Tool: http://apkmultitool.com/
Great post!
Don't forget, UOT can be a great starting point for inspiration also, at least give a little jump start.
Also, the hardest part is also getting your paths set up for apk manager to read adb. Just Google it and the answers are easy to find!

Indy's comment to your post was exactly true. It really doesn't take that long once you get the hang of it. Making your own images is what takes longer than anything in my opinion. Even if it takes you a long time to push a theme out, just remember that "it's about quality, not quantity." As long as you put out an awesome looking theme, most people won't care how long it took or how long it takes to push out updates. It definitely wouldn't take long if you use the UOT Theme Kitchen. The link for that can be found at the bottom of my first post.

Hey Spc i have a question, how do you make your own images and such? do you have to use something like Photoshop or gimp or some other program? Been playing around with the uot kitchen and its really a great program, but eventually i'd like to do more custom made stuff too.
Thanks!

It was renamed from APK Manager is now APK Multi-Tool. Windows version is pretty nice. Been looking at the forum, make sure you install to the root of your sdk directory.
He is working on Linux Version but doesn't have a linux machine any longer to test so it is slow going but you can still download APK Manager 5.0 for linux

Might have figured out the issues with recompiling SystemUI and RES_Cappuccino they have to be decompiled with dependancies.. dragging frameworkres-apk into the command window and made changes and recompiled without errors. That is a first. If someone knew this and didn't tell me I will hurt somebody!!! Won't be able to test for a while..
Although you don't HAVE to do it, it's suggested that you do that with apkmanager too lol. Sorry!!!
