[Q] Guide to creating a theme - Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps

Hi all
Does anyone know of a good guide that shows you how to create a theme for a galaxy s6?
I am wanting to make a theme that uses the standard icons, but has some darker colours in the sms/phone app.
I dont like the theme store AMOLED friendly / black themes because they dont have enough colour and we loose the defaut iconset.
Basically if i can take the standard theme and modify a few things I'd be happy
Whenever I try to search for answers, all i seem to be able to find is references to some elusive and unobtainable theme creation tool that samsung was ment to release back in April.
I am just after the tool or a guide right now, i dont want to add my themes to the samsung theme store.

Oooh looks like this site is now back up again
developer.samsung.com/theme#mytheme
Edit: Nevermind that doesnt do the job
It is a super basic editor that just allows you to add wallpapers and icons - it wont let you change the background and coloring of the sms and phone apps.

[Q] [REQUEST] DarkEdge theme port

I am sure alot of you have seen this theme but its just awesome!
Is there a way to port this to the Galaxy S? I think it works partially but I dont really know much about this stuff. Would be cool if its included in a ROM to make it easier to install.
Just an idea...

You can download them from the market. I have about 8 themes by Darkedge. But remember to install ADW Launcher for them to work, you also need to have ADW as the default Launcher.
Actually the ADW theme was not changing all the icons (especially samsung ones)...and widgets dont get modded either.
However, I managed to work around that by adding some xml files to the apk, and most of my main icons are now themed.
However, I am looking for more dark edge icons packs...let me know if you see any
Also, I am thinking of modifiying the status bar to go with the theme.
Its a shame ADW lags a bit esp with widgets.
However, I was still hoping someone could do a complete port (including status bar, menus, twlauncher app drawer etc)

[REQ] need some help with a theme

I am using the GalaxyS theme with Vegan 5.1 right now and for the most part I really like it, problem is the status icons are horrible. I tried pulling the green icons out of the GreenV2 theme and using ninjamorph to combine them with the GS theme. (I would just flash the GreenV2 theme, but I can't stand all the other green stuff in it) Anyway, whenever I push the framework back in with NM, I go into a bootloop.
Can anyone with experience with this stuff find it in their hearts to combine these two themes and create a flashable zip? All I want are the status icons and I can provide all the files needed since they don;t seem to be readily available on the forum anymore.

[Q] Black on White framework

During the last days, i tried to create a general 'light framework' which changes color from white on black to black on white (like in MIUI or IOS) in System Settings and all Apps which use the standard framework. By 'general' i mean, that the idea is, that this framework could be used in themes or standalone. Anyway, couldn't get it to work until now. As templates i tried to use files from this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228922
Don't get me wrong, i don't want to have an IOS framework, but a general template for a black on white layout.
I know that this question has been asked before, but obviously there is no solution yet. But maybe there's a new chance with the files from the ROM mentioned above.
Any ideas from a more experienced themer than me ?
thanx, lagloose
i am not sure if this means anything to you but there is something like that

and i am really bored from white on black menus, looking for black on white other than miui.

[WidgetLocker] Tech Bar (theme)

Tech Bar​
Decided to make a custom theme for WidgetLocker, since I love futuristic tech looks, this theme is dedicated to "Steel Blue" CM7, as I created it to go with that techy theme.
Hope you all like it, spent a good few hours on this designing/aligning etc.
I'm not sure if it will look good all phone sizes, since I made it just for my own HTC HD2 (480x800), the screenshot doesn't look anyway near as good when you look directly from the phone imo.
P.s. this theme is intended to be used with a dark wallpaper
Screeni (boo-hoo can't use img tags since I'm new):

- Attached a small preview img to post
- To install, obviously have WidgetLocker installed
- Move .zip folder to "data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes\"
I had some messages asking where to get wallpaper, it is a live wallpaper called "mystic halo"

Question about app icons EmotionUI theme

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out if I can create a EmotionUI theme which also changes the icons of individual apps.
Is this possible?
I know some system icons are named as for example: com.android.browser.png
Would I simply have to find the name for the app icon and change it to for example: com.whatsapp.png?
I don't know how to find these values if this is the way to go.
But I would very much like my theme to be able to change ALL icons I could possibly make for the apps I have, not just the system icons.
Also is there some sort of emotionui forum this question should be posted? I couldn't find it...
EDIT: I also found out I am unable to change theme. I can change the appearance of the current theme I'm using by taking stuff from other theme's, but when I apply a other theme the theme will stay on the current one and doesn't switch. This includes the lockscreen theme and some other things I wish to still change like fonts and such.
(This might have something to do with me soft bricking my phone found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/ive-soft-bricked-phone-p7-l10-t3258350)
EDIT2: Okay it seems like this method is working. I just use an apk extractor to check which value an app has. For whatsapp this was indeed com.whatsapp.png which worked. However for com.android.vending.png which is google playstore, that one doesn't seem to work. I would like to find out why...
This way I can have all my icons in a custom theme
EDIT3: after my factory reset in my other post I couldn't change the themes anymore.
