Root Any Themes?

:thinking:how about gimp, ninjamorph or just decompile and run psp, png editing , and recompress ? then putting it back in the nandroid.

basically themeing
What have we tired and what do you know .

Yeah, this isn't too hard... just time consuming. X.x Lol. And I had everything the way I liked on uot. Oh well, I'll look into it more tomorrow.

Mind posting once you're done


If I did, it would be well into January. And the way I wanted it was to have a complete cyan theme. Like a mix between CM and ICS themes. But idk when I'd have the time.

UOT takes between 5-60minutes.
Doing it manually would take hours.

As for the framework apk, maybe we could pull an old/stock one and try different methods of 'deodexing'. Trying a stock ICS could maybe work, but there are going to be differences, mainly dimensions.

I totally understand where you're coming from with Christmas 4 kids and a 12hr a day job I have no time for anything especially pimping my phone. I rely on the community :p

Yeah. That's why I'm going to look into why uot isn't working. That would allow each person to have their own theme in minutes instead of waiting just for one. Also, the other theming thread has some points, I'll check them out when I'm not on mobile.

Don't forget to take caution when using root and flashing!!
I noticed we've been talking as if there is no risk involved (there are indeed risks) but as other users have mentioned, we need to be mindful of those less experienced.

I'll post if I find anything. Also...
Merry Christmas!!

Im pretty sure it was odex at that time he released that.

Oh alright.
Well I was trying different things and I managed to get stuck on the LG logo screen. I guess that means softbrick.. oh well. Whats odd is that nothing even flashed, I would simply continue to get errors. I might have hit something by accident.


Edit: took about 2 hours but I unbricked it. X.x Idk what happened but I might have hit the fix permissions by accident. I guess that would make sense. I'll probably go back to try the frame work again later.
