[Theme] Droid X, Sense, Flat Black, Galaxy S + Theme Tutorial *updated*

Let me know if you want me to post your theme or have a request
**DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!**



Download a theme from 2nd post and come back here for install directions - READ EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALL

If you follow all directions properly this should be capatible with all roms


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1
A. Framework-res.apk extraction
1. Download Terminal Emulator from market
DO THIS WITH TERMINAL!
type following with an enter at end of each line

su
cp -f /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard


B. Framework-res.apk mod
1. transfer framework-res.apk from sdcard to your computer

**KEEP A COPY FRAMEWORK-RES.APK IN A SAFE PLACE FOR CHANGING THEMES OR GOING BACK TO STOCK, YOU WANT TO ALWAYS START FROM AN UNMODDED FILE**

2. rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip
3. download your desired theme and extract the contents
4. open the freamework-res.apk.zip(DO NOT EXTRACT THE CONTENTS! IT HAS TO BE THE SAME ZIP YOU PULLED FROM YOUR PHONE GOING BACK - CANNOT BE A NEW ZIP FILE) and paste in the modified files (make sure they overwrite whatever is in there)



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2
A. Download the package for your rom below
If your rom isn't listed, you can try modding files yourself with using this tutorial:

If your applying themes with a white notification bar (Droid X) all you need is Terminal and/or Root explorer from market

obviously you need to be rooted

and win-rar for windows available here:
WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files

thats it, if your trying to apply a black notification bar theme you'll have to check what programs are needed to modify the services.jar (that is unless one of the pre-made ones works on your phone)

Droid X theme v2.2 Released

A lot of new features, including Red droid x style highlights and droid x live wallpaper

 

[nicholasbgr]

Thanks for the Droid X theme! I downloaded your brazilian services.jar but I did not like the white clock. Besides the clock, does it change anything else or can I go back to the stock services.jar?
Thanks!

Clarified first post, Droid X theme doesn't need the services.jar mod

Upcoming black themes will.

I'll see if I have the stock files sitting around and try hosting them for you
