Root BACKside ThemeChooser Themes Post your BACKside Theme Chooser themes here!

[Atma]

I be stuck. when i downloaded it, tis in .zip format. flash it I'm guessing?

It should be an apk when you d/l it. Look in the zip and see if that's what is in it. These aren't for flashing. These are for selecting with Theme Chooser.

Use AndroZip as it's the easiest to deal with. Download. Go to download folder and longpress the download. Select move. Hit the back button. Hit the Move Here button.
Then tap on the download. Select install. When it's done installing hit the done button. Go to theme chooser and select the downloaded theme. Reboot. Done!

If it has a zip file extension after you download it, try renaming it to Apk.

Getting closer, and found out I can include a lot more elements. Ringtones, wallpaper, icons, etc. Stay tuned!

There isn't much you can do with framework-Res.apk and systemui.apk

 

[brotherswing]

No, that's one of the differences between flashable and apk themes. With a flashable theme you need the kitchen to modify the framework-res and systemui apks. With apk themes it uses xml files to redirect the system to other locations (in your theme file) for the drawable elements of the system.

As this theme was a gift for another member here, I'm keeping it updated. INVI is now built as a Theme Chooser theme, no need to check build numbers.

Screen shots: (outdated)

The icons and wallpaper are from y0rk's Blue ADW theme, clock is Fancy Widgets with the Ice Cream sandwich skin by NYkrinDC.

This is a work in progress, there will be refinements made in the near future. Stay tuned.
As always, feedback is welcome.

Let's make this easy. I've verified my hacked uot apk themes work across builds of BACKside, but haven't yet fine tuned the process. I'm posting beta apk's of ALL FOUR of my themes, for your enjoyment.

NOTE:: You can only have one of these installed at a time, because all four have the same internal name. Installing a second basically overwrites the first.This is one of the issues I'm working on, and why I consider these beta quality.

This is why I put so much time in trying to ensure that my various theming type modifications to BACKside-IHO do not interfere with themes. It's an integral part of the Android xml scheme, so please report if anything gets broken by my mods!

So, armed with a new laptop, I've been able to resume my work. Current state - fixed internal name, now you can install multiple all themes at once, and switch on the fly.

Major breakthrough! A couple of little things to iron out, and we'll have theme chooser themes to play with!

[brotherswing]

I did. It's one of the themes I decompiled when I was teaching myself theming. Not my favorite color palette, but a very nice theme nonetheless.
