Apollo Music Themes
I use CM9 and absolutely love this music app but it's freaking ugly!!!
I did not make this app, I just themed it!!
I got it to invert but some things rely on the skin to make it complete..until the skin is ready to theme the whole app I made 2 parts to apply the theme. Zip to flash and a skin to complete it!
You apply this at your own risk and I would suggest you backup first!
You may use this in your Rom/Themes but PLEASE give credit on your threads!!!

1. Download the APK to your Sdcard
2. use a file manager like "Astro file manager" or Root Explorer" if you don't have one already and install the skin
3. Open Apollo and select Menu/Settings/Themes/Select your theme once selected touch Apply theme
4. Enjoy your fully themed Apollo music app!!!

I don't mean to be a bother, but you seem to be the only person in the whole internet that knows how to do this. Your themes are very well made, but not quite what I'm looking for.
I know where the images are, and I think I know where to change the other colors, but I just can't figure out how to finish it off. I have the project imported in Eclipse, and I can export an APK from there, but it won't install.
Am I way off, or just missing something small? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

The only thing I see missing is signing it. If your only going to post a thread with it sign it with apktool but if you're going to upload it to the market then you must use a private key to sign it...That's all that I see missing. ;-)

There is already a skin on the market that works good with my DarkICE version that's black and cyan. If not let me know and I can throw one together tomorrow. Epic blue I believe is the name.

Wow, such a simple thing. I thought I'd only need to sign it if I was going to put it on the market, but I guess that's only half the story!
Thanks to that great tip I have a nice new theme on my music player It also happens to be exactly what ArcticFish is looking for. I don't want to jack your thread anymore than I already have, so I won't upload it without your permission.
Thanks again!

It took a little longer than expected cause I forgot to do the other resolutions, my phone is hdpi, but since I'm sharing it with others, I shouldn't make any assumptions.
So, here's the link, ArcticFish, hope it meets your expectations (and remember, this doesn't touch the widget, though I certainly wouldn't mind figuring that out either...)

If anyone would be willing to help out a noob I would would forever be in your debt. Ive made a few themes for ADW so I know my way around Eclispse a little but I downloaded them template from his site. When I import it into Eclipse I get the following errors.

Hmmm, there are no spaces in your folder names? I actually hate eclipse so I just decompiled the apk and changed the source path in smali to mine...edited the smali with notepad and compiled with apk multitool.

The way I did it, from the very beginning, is:
- File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into workspace
- Browse for the folder, and check Copy projects into workspace
- In the package explorer, right click -> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties
- Project -> Clean
Those steps always seemed to clear up strange little problems like that. Hope that helps!
I downloaded the template from http://goo.gl/EPRiL link taken from http://www.seeingpixels.org/ I extracted it and imported it into Eclipse. The folder has a space in it when I downloaded it. I just tried getting rid of the space and it just gave me a different error this time.

Sorry to bother you again, but is there any chance you could point me to where I can change the colors of the pop-up menus (like when you tap the three dots, or the little arrow) and the settings screen? I've looked everywhere I can think of, and even compared a bunch of the files from your themes, but I just can't figure it out.
Thanks for all your help!

If you're doing the full app they are in styles.xml of the values folder but you will need to decompile it to see that. If you're doing the skin I don't think that's possible.

Well, there's something I'm missing. It's correct on the Now Playing tabs, but not in the Library or Settings. This is good enough for now, though.
I really appreciate the help. I never would have come close without your words of wisdom! Thanks again!

So here it goes. After over 250 hours of copying, editing, resizing, renaming, putting things together and so on...
At long last it is ready. Buuf THEME finally for HERO devices.
The amount of work was massive.
For your OWN ease of application i have turned this into a Metamorph Theme. So you need to download Metamorph from the market (free).
SO! Here are the pictures.

}
- THIS REQUIRED ROOT ACCESS. For those that DON'T have root access, you can only apply the ADW launcher Theme.
- As you can see there is a lot of working going on through there. I tried to make it easiest to apply by creating this via metamorph. This means that WHENEVER an update for your rom comes, you dont have to wait for my update, you can just *simply* apply the metamorph zip and you'll have all your Apps buuf'ed. The only thing i couldn't metamorph yet was the framework-res file. I am planning to integrate that very soon, but at the mo', you're gonna have to apply a .zip via your recovery.
- Also, i am using ADW Launcher. There was a theme named ADW.buuf.theme in the market. That was not working with my rom causing many FC's, so i stripped it down, recreated it from scratch and added a ton of new app images. I have added a lot of default values that suited my liking (highlight color and so on). If you dont like those, simply change them via ADW Settings. ALSO, i have used some code from Eliotstocker to make this theme have some wallpapers. Simply change wallpaper and you should be greeted with a "Buuf Picker" option. In there i have included some of the best Buuf wallpapers.
- As you can see, I have applied a Circular Battery mod (credits to the creators). If you dont like it, simply go to the kitchen and create another mod. It is included in the framework-res.apk zip file
- I am using an edited font, extracted from the Galaxy S by Alex.
- I am also using LCD Density Changer. My setting is @ 139.
- Finally, i am attaching a small .zip file with the bootanimation i use (credit to the creator - sorry don't know who you are) with some amazing boot sequence back from the energy BIOS days, PLUS ad-free hosts, ridding you from the annoying ads.
ROMS
This is initially created for FroydVillain 1.5. The metamorph file should be applicable to ALL AOSP 2.2 Roms for ALL MDPI devices.
The only limitation at the moment is the lack of integration of the framework-res.apk file.
Instructions
1) Download Metamorph and install. Make sure you disable autokiller, in case it kills metamoprh while updating
2) Create a folder AndroidThemes in your SDCard and put the BuufMDPIApps.zip file in it. Apply.
3) Reboot to recovery and apply the framework.zip file
4) Download ADW Launcher and install my edited Buuf Theme. Go to ADW Settings, Theme Preferences, Load and apply.
5 - Optional) Apply fonts.zip via recovery - Credits to Alex
6 - Optional) Apply myboot.zip.
Caution: During the metamorph application of the theme, your phone is going to FC a lot, and sometimes ask for your pin. Please do apply the zip until it is totally done (if it stops, redo it), dont let your phone sleep, and please interact with the FC/SIM lock screens.
Uninstallation
Simply flash your ROM zip file on top. No wipe needed.

Donation
- This complete theme pack wasn't created for money. It was created to make the Buuf Theme live on for the MDPI Devices. All credits are due to the people stated above.
- However, i have put into this over 250+ hours of work. And for those of you who have never themed, well all i can say it was really a pain.
- If you feel like buying me a beer for all the hard work, here's a link:

- If you like it, please let me know.
Changelog
19 Sept 2010 v1.2.1 - Initial Release
Requests
Requests for unthemed apps are welcome. Glitches and FC's, as long as distortions, should also be reported. If you wish to have your app icon changed in ADW Drawer, give me the app name, or even better the activity name (check it out via adb logcat, while launching the app) and let me know what kind of icon you want.

This as AWESOME Because you've done so much work on this also i reccomend you put it in the legend,eris and Hero CDMA forums because it should work on all those devices to Thats if you havent already
Once i get rid of the framework-res problem with metamorph i will post it under Android themes, and separately to MDPI Devices.
Thanks for the comments
hi!
the theme is looking great,awesome work!!
but i get an error when i try to extract framework-res file from recovery,i get an error that the file is corrupt or something like that...what could be the problem?
thanks!
Very good job !!
It works perfectly on Froydvillain 1.5
Just one question : what is your clock&weather widget on the screenshots ?
I am terribly sorry, i think i've put an unsigned framework-res.apk file. I shall update soon.
My clock is Beautiful widgets, with the ANDRODena_Buff clock skin and EmotiSun Weather skin.
edit. I updated the framework-res.apk file, although i doubt it was unsigned, on a second note. Perhaps your download was corrupted. Redownload and let me know please
PS. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

framework-res.apk is a system apk and does not need to be signed
I applied the first framework.zip without any problem. (in recovery mode)

My particular framework-res.apk is modified. It includes the circular battery mod, which not only changes png's, but also adds a few xml files. So yes it does indeed need to be signed. The apk itself cannot, but the .zip needs to be signed with test keys, allowing for the modified framework-res.apk to be extractable and allowing recovery to apply it.

Why were you reffering to the apk before then? Anyways doesn't matter
phone keeps rebooting at gmail.apk floyo 0.8
Looks great, I will be installing on my lunch break
One question - what difference does the LCD Density app make, and why choose the density you have ?
@shields - try to manually update the rest of the apk's. My phone rebooted as well on Gmail.apk. perhaps you have autokiller running or something. Choose Apply existing theme, select the xml file, and manually update the rest apk's
@furrypotato The difference LCD Density app does is that it makes the screen look like a higher resolution one. For example, i can fit 5x5 (columns x rows) instead of the classic 4x4 MDPI devices have. My setting is just something i have found to work fine, and dont have too many scale issues with my apps.
Installed it and loving it.
A very different theme for me to use that's a refreshing change
Thanks
Thanks for the nice comments.
Please feel free to propose any new features.
Whats the best method of adding custom icons ?
I only had a few minutes to look before I left for work but I took a look on Buuf website and found an icon I'd like to use for Tweetdeck. (Fauna #13)
Now I'm guessing I can amend the xml file in the zip in some way and place the icon.png file in folders like the others, but is there an easy way of doing it ?
I even bought beatiful widgets cos I love the themes so much
Oh, and I updated to the new Gmail last night and it's broken some of the gmail graphics such as notfication of emails.

There's no way of adding custom icons yourself. That's how i tried to do it as well. But it doesn't work. You have to create the APK from the beginning, and thats what i had to do. Took me nearly 3 days of non-stop work to remake it.
I, unlike the original creator, will intent to update the icons when asked. So let me know what icon you want for what app, give me the activity name if you have it and i will update it.
I haven't had an eye on the new gmail (as a matter of fact i didnt even know it existed). I will look at those on the weekend, as the following two days i'm taking 3 exams and my head's about to explode.
Let me know though.
Cool thanks.
I'm looking to get the attached icon added to TweetDeck Beta . Dont know activity name sorry (Whats best way of getting it)
Tweetdeck beta in case you need it :
http://downloads.tweetdeck.com/android_test/TweetDeck-0.9.9.1.apk
New Gmail is downloadable in market by the way.
friggan brilliant man, many, many, many kudos.
After i developed the tablet tweaks, a lot of people started modifying framework and systemui to exchange the buttons instead of doing it with a theme. the way they were going just was bad by design. no fixes are included except those people repeat their work with every new nightly build. thats the reason we use theme engine by now. it works for all devices and all versions.
my initial complaints about modifying those files and my suggestion to use a theme were ignored - so i came to the point to do it myself.
all i did was adding honeycomb icons for the soft buttons to the already existing honeybread v4 theme. as soon as there is a new honeybread theme, i hope it features the new buttons - at least i asked for that on the honeybread issue tracker.
get the modified theme here - it will show up with no preview by the name @string/theme_name in front of all your themes - i cannot help that bad behavior by now:

Nice work murdock, and you're right the theme engine is A LOT better than changing each new systemUI. I've been planning on adding similar 3.0 soft buttons to my upcoming honeycomb theme chooser apk and have already gone pretty deep with changes to the status bar, power widget, settings icons etc., but I'm having trouble getting the 3.0 lockscreen and other things like my homescreen/app menu icons to show without supplying an additional zip file (which means ill either have to make a version for each rom, or a metamorph file that makes the apk kinda pointless when I could just add everything to the zip). Do you know if the theme engine is capable of adding the lockscreen or non-stock apps? I haven't been able to find very much out there yet about incorporating additional xml files to the apk, but if you could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it

do you have a tablet?
Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
Thanks, it looks great, however there are a couple of small problems I'm not sure if it should go into the honeybread issue tracker or here or if they are just caused by something I did wrong.
Quoted from the Tablet Tweak post since I'm having pretty much the same problems (looked a few pages down and no solution seems to have showed up, sorry if I missed it)

Ok, I figured out my issue -- honeybread theme doesn't play nice with the latest build. At least for me. It was causing widgets to fail at startup and my SDcard wouldn't mount unless triggered by something accessing it -- e.g. me opening file manager.
Restored a backup w/out honeybread - Flashed newest build - Rebooted 5 times -
No issues.
Installed honeybread apk - Rebooted a couple times -
No issues.
Applied honeybread theme - Rebooted - Widgets failed to load - SDcard doesn't mount unless triggered - Rebooted a few times -
Same behavior.
Applied default theme - Rebooted a few times
All is well.
Sorry, I know this isn't relevant to the mod, but I know a few people in here were starting to use honeybread, so I thought I'd report what I found.
Now I can start actually playing around with this build.

Just to add that the widgets do load eventually, but it's quite a long wait, and seems to happen after the SD card trigger.
Not a big problem since the only time I reboot is after flashing something in CWM anyway. Just wondering if this happens to everyone or just me.

Looks really nice other than the opaque black dock. Is there not any way to with Honeybread to have a translucent dock? Perhaps the answer is to disable the dock with this theme, but I still like to have one with my four most used apps (browser, email, gmail, and calendar).
Just loaded it on my G Tablet running CM7. Looks awesome. Thanks for your work on this.

Nice work murdock, and you're right the theme engine is A LOT better than changing each new systemUI. I've been planning on adding similar 3.0 soft buttons to my upcoming honeycomb theme chooser apk and have already gone pretty deep with changes to the status bar, power widget, settings icons etc., but I'm having trouble getting the 3.0 lockscreen and other things like my homescreen/app menu icons to show without supplying an additional zip file (which means ill either have to make a version for each rom, or a metamorph file that makes the apk kinda pointless when I could just add everything to the zip). Do you know if the theme engine is capable of adding the lockscreen or non-stock apps? I haven't been able to find very much out there yet about incorporating additional xml files to the apk, but if you could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it

with the t-mob theme engine, you can replace any graphic or xml file (animations, strings) below the res/ directory of each app. doesnt matter if its installed or could be installed. about the lockscreen - well - forget about it needs changed code to work like the hc lockscreen. no way to do this via themes. the lockscreen icons themself can of course be changed as you like..
download the sources i posted in first post and take a look into it - should be pretty much self explanatory

Thanks, it looks great, however there are a couple of small problems I'm not sure if it should go into the honeybread issue tracker or here or if they are just caused by something I did wrong.

honeybread issue tracker! i dont wanna get involved into this theme at all. i just added the soft buttons to stop people modifying the .apk files with winzip - which is really really bad...
Excuse my ignorance but I'm new to Nook and CM7, I downloaded the theme for the installation am I suppose to install via CWM > "install zip from sdcard" which fails "aborted" or am I suppose to drop it in a folder and change it using ADWLauncher?
Great

How did you install it when I try to install it on my Nook from CWM I get the dreaded "ABORTED"
Roger
It's an apk so just copy it to sdcard and run it
The only problem i have with this, is that i only want the buttons. I am using a "Sense" theme that i love, and the buttons work great. If there was a way to have two different themes going, that would be nice (make the button one theme, and allow users to pick honeybread or something else)...

Thanks for the quick reply when I downloaded the file it was a .zip file renaming it to .apk enabled me to install it without errors but it does not show up under "Settings > ADWLauncher > Theme Preferences > Select your theme" any ideas? I rebooted and its still not listed.
Install Instructions
Download the Honeybread.apk
Install the APK
Open the Theme Chooser app
Select the Honybread Theme
After it applies reboot
Enjoy!
Thanks I was trying to use ADWLaucncher not Theme chooser to set the theme it worked, like I said I'm new to CM7 but with help from the community I'm learning.

scroll all the way to the left. There won't be a pic, but a string. From mad (IN THE ORIGINAL POST)
"it will show up with no preview by the name @string/theme_name in front of all your themes"
Reboot.
Hey mad, you're pretty good at this whole android thing.
Just a tinsy tiny bug. The sliders in the gui have a slight offset line next to the slider button. No biggie, could just be my 190 dpi.
I'll change and report back if anything changes.
I'm sorry I am pretty busy and not able to participate in this thread much any more. Unfortunately I've switch over to Android Ice Cream Sandwich I will no longer be using Go Launcher Ex unless they decide to update their launcher to be up to par with Apex Launcher and other ICS Launchers. I want the in-app drawer widgets and other features ICS has to offer so hopefully they update GO Launcher to offer these features so I can continue to use it. Anyways I'll try to add as many themes to this post as I can if you PM them to me but because I haven't really done anything with themes for over 6 months I don't really remember a lot of the details. This thread is here for reference hopefully it helps you guys out since I will be unable to do so.
This guy hasn't been updated for a while unfortunately so it may or may not be relevant any more if you want the latest version of ThemesFactory you will have to search the GO Launcher New Blog for it. Anyways Thanks for all your support and everything you guys do you're awesome!

Guide to using ThemesFactory:
The download and other information about ThemesFactory can be found here HERE
I haven't been using ThemesFactory for that long I'm not very artistic I just use materials I can find online and also simple Paint and Photoshop methods. ThemesFactory allows you to create a Theme based off an already existing template by replacing the different parts within it. Setting up ThemesFactory is a little tricky and also as I've seen with certain things such as the tabs in my theme it seems to have bugs. It's really all trial and error I guess unless you have a better knowledge of how the themes are actually read by GO Launcher Ex.
First thing is first download and install the Java JDK from HERE. After you install it browse to "C:\Program Files\Java\" inside it there should be a folder labeled jdk1.6.0_26 or whatever the latest Java 6 JDK version is. Now you know the path to your Java folder you need to setup your Environmental Variables.
Environmental Values:
First off you must go to the Environmental Variable Settings in Windows. (I don't know how you would use ThemesFactory in linux sorry)
1.From the desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
2.In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
3.In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
4.Finally, in the Environment Variables window (as shown below), highlight the Path variable in the Systems Variable section and click the Edit button. Add or modify the path lines with the paths you wish the computer to access. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SOURCE
Under "System Variables" click New then type in JAVA_HOME as the Variable name and Variable Value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26 (or your folder location) After this is complete add ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin; to your PATH.
Make another Variable Named classpath Variable ;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;
How to Export Video found here
Uploading to the Market:
Well first off I want to say be careful what is in your themes even your free ones I got my Facebook Theme suspended it apparently violated terms even though it was free lol. Anyways just make sure everything in your themes is usable and not copyrighted or trade marked.
Now you must go thru all the files in the theme using either an IDE or Notepad++ and change the package name refrences from the random name to the name of your theme in lower case. Make sure the package name is correct because once you upload your Theme to the market you can't change it unless you upload it as a new app instead of a update. You may also want to change the version code and version number in AndroidManifest.xml that way it doesn't said version code 6 and version number 1.5 when it's only 1.0 or what ever.
After this is done export it and make sure everything is in working order.
Now you must zipalign using the zipalign tool from the Android SDK. Open a cmd window. I usually right click and hold shift and open the cmd window in the folder zipalign is in I just moved it to my ThemeStudio folder because that was easiest. Then you just run the following command.
zipalign -f -v 4 ThemeName.apk ThemeName1.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
More info here
If it worked it will create a new file ThemeName1.apk or what ever you tell it to name it and you can upload that to the market.

How to Open Theme Factory as Admin if you have problems:
After this is setup open a command prompt as an administrator and cd to the directory where ThemesFactory is located then type "themesfactory_beta2.jnlp" or the name of the current .jnlp file that came with your ThemesFactory. Now create a new theme with ThemesFactory it should work correctly!
I created this .bat script to open the ThemesFactory with out doing cmd everytime. I won't post a .bat file so just create a .txt file copy/paste this in it and save then rename it to Start ThemesFactory.bat (of course you have to make sure that you have file extensions enabled to do this.) If you need to you can change the directory it CDs to to where ever your jnlp file is. Run as an Administrator for it to work properly. The reason I suggest to run it as Admin is because when I tried to edit certain elements while not running as Admin it wouldn't let me if you have that problem make the .bat file.

I definitely want to get on that boat. I love making themes, i just need to figure out how to get this setup working on linux.
Yeah I'm not sure how you would do that technically the program is written and java so it might work idk. Technically you don't have to use theme studio you just have to have a theme edit and replace the apks and repackage and sign the file. The video below apparently shows how to do it with out the theme studio.

@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

Works for me and others.
Do you have place in your internal memory ( /system ? )
Did you set Permissions to all ?

I love your customizations Yorzua, the best around!
BTW, I installed a modded version of tweetdeck thanks to you Yorzua and I followed the same steps as you did and it worked flawlessly.
Downloaded apk to my Nexus S SD Card, then I open *Root Explorer* (you can use any file explorer with root capabilities: Script Manager - ES FIle Explorer - ROM Toolbox) changed mounting to writeable and moved the modded app to /system/app ..... then changed permissions to file so it reads: rw--r--r--
After doing so, I rebooted my phone open the app drawer and app was there, clicked on it and it works as it is supposed to.

ALL OF THE LOCKRINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO THE 5TH POST
G’Day XDA,
This is a really simple to do guide on changing the lockring on both a stock Samsung circle lockscreen and the AOSP lockscreen on ALL SAMSUNG, AOSP & AOKP ROMS and essentially this same method should also work on ALL ANDROID ROMS that are both ODEXED & DEODEXED. I have tested both using my own phone which is a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 which is running a stock Samsung odexed rom. I have been told that it also works on a Sony Xperia Arc. Your specific rom may have the lockring file named as something else, so you may need to go into framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi (or-xhdpi or -mdpi depending on what device/rom you're running) to find the correct file. If you need help you can attach your framework-res.apk in here and I will do my best to help you out.
This is really easy to do for even a beginner like me, so I’m sure anyone that reads this will be able to do it. There are a few prerequisites to this mod – first of all you need a computer with an unzip style program like 7Zip, your phone needs to be rooted and you also need some kind of file manager (I use ES File Explorer but lots of people say they use Root Explorer). You will also need to have access to a program like Photoshop or Irfanview or Pixlr or Greenfish Icon Editor Pro if you want to change any pictures yourself. I have detailed everything step by step below with pictures so it should be very easy to follow.
Here's the guide…
(Lockrings in 5th post) PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE A NANDROID/CWM BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS - I CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU FACE, BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO HELP YOU OUT IF YOU DO RUN INTO PROBLEMS
Step 1 - You will need to download the lockring that you would like to use. I have used different styles from HERE and also from HERE and also made my own. You can find some lockring collections made by martintspedersen HERE and by shishircoolin HERE. If you are smart enough to make your own using a program like Photoshop or Pixlr then top work. Just make sure that it is definitely a PNG file. Also make sure that if you want any of it transparent that it actually is (I made this mistake and it didn’t look very good, so I had to get my gorgeous fiancée to fix it up for me, as she is highly skilled in the art of Photoshop). Save the lockring onto your computer somewhere (I keep all of my stuff in a Mods folder) and you will need to modify it soon.
Step 2 - You will need to make a copy of framework-res.apk (which is located in /system/framework) and put it anywhere onto your phone’s SD card. Again, I use a folder called Mods which is easy to locate and remember.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3 - Plug a micro USB cable into your phone and then plug the other end into your computer. Open the directory where you saved framework-res.apk (for me it is GTI9100/Phone/Mods) and move it onto your computer’s desktop.
Step 4 - Now right click on framework-res.apk and select 7Zip – Open Archive.
Step 5 - Within the opened 7Zip archive, navigate to res\drawable-hdpi\ (or res\drawable-xhdpi on a Galaxy Nexus) and locate these files:
For the stock Samsung Circle Lockscreen, find unlockscreen_lock_01.png to unlockscreen_lock_20.png. These usually have a padlock ranging in different stages of unlocking, but I have used the same picture in all of them. You can do the same or modify them slightly, it's up to you.
For the AOSP Lockscreen, find ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png which is the lock that is visible when a hardware button is pressed, and ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png is the same lock with the ring around it that appears when you press the lock.
Step 6 - Change the name of the lockring PNGs that downloaded earlier and want to use to the corresponding file names. For example, I have changed the PNGs in the first picture to use in the stock Samsung Circle lockscreen and the PNGs in the second picture are for the AOSP Lockscreen:
Step 7 - Now drag the renamed PNGs into the res\drawable-hdpi folder. Click yes when it asks you to confirm.
Step 8 - Close the 7Zip archive and now copy your newly modified framework-res.apk back onto the SD card of your phone. Again for me, I use the Mods file so it's easy to find.
Step 9 - Now on your phone, open your file explorer and navigate to where your modified framework-res.apk is. Long press it and select Move To and move it to the System folder on the root directory of your phone.
Step 10 - Now navigate to the System folder and long press on the framework-res.apk and select Properties. You will see this:
Notice how the Permissions is set to rw- rw- rw-? We need to change this otherwise you'll have big problems. Click the Change button and you will see this:
Step 11 - Uncheck the Group - write and Other - write boxes so that it looks like this:
Now click OK and you will see this:
Now click OK.
Step 12 - Now long press on framework-res.apk and select Move To. Move it to the Framework folder within System.
You will see the following warning:
Click OK. Now your phone will freeze. This is ok. It will be frozen for roughly 1 - 1½ minutes, then it will restart.
Once it reboots, you will be staring at your new masterpiece!
Stock Samsung Circle Lockscreen
ICS Lockscreen
LOCKRINGS (These are made for a HDPI screen and are at 162dp x 162dp)
Ok below are a bunch of lockrings for everyone to use. I have also included the Stock ICS lockring and the Stock Samsung Circle lockring so that if you want to modify them yourself then you can. The other lockrings were made by me (apart from Metallica which was made by martintspederen). Just click on the picture you want and it will open up a new tab where you can download it. Once it's downloaded, extract the files and rename them to the appropriate file name for your particular lockscreen. Requests are both welcome and encouraged!
ALL OF THE LOCKRINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO THE 5TH POST, SO PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE AND DOWNLOAD THEM
Now if this post helped you I would love to know about it, so please post a reply. Even post screen shots of what you have done would be great.
Cheers XDA,
Dave

Are you talking about the wallpapers that are in the screenshots in the guide? If so then it is actually a live wallpaper. I downloaded a program called Windows 7 Dreamscene Activator which you can get from here and I know it says it is for Windows 7 but I am running Vista and it works on my computer and I know it runs on XP Premium as well.
So once you install Dreamscene Activator you just right click on any mpg file and select Set as Desktop Background and then you've got a live wallpaper. Then I just searched for dreamscene wallpaper download on Google and that's how I found the Android one which is on the Dreamscene website here but for some reason it's not working at the moment. I just uploaded it for you, so click here and you can download it. Enjoy
Thanks... Will download it tommorow morning....
EDIT: its working fine but how do i change font color of desktop icons....

I'm fairly certain that you need to go to Control Panel/Display then click on the Appearance tab and then click the Advanced button.
In this section you can change the colour for all of the backgrounds and text that you want. It's pretty cool.
Let me know how you go?

Umm I'm pretty sure it was a program called APK One Click
I've never used it to decompile though, I have always used APK Tool because it worked well with ICS Roms where as APK One Click didn't
Great effort Dev
Great guide to change the lockrings to our custom look.....:laugh::laugh::laugh:

. But can you help me in changing the Pattern circle type,shape,even size so that i suits to my droid screen size....
Hoping that i'll get a reply Here..
Sure mate. What device are you using? And do you mean the lockscreen that you use to enter in a pattern to unlock the phone? How big exactly do you want it? I have a bit of an idea the files that you need to modify but I would like to know the device to be able to help you as best I can.

No worries. Any ideas? I had in mind to do a few like Coke and Pepsi but I'm trying to think of some others. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.
