Here's a quick tut I put together fom making CM/Tmobile Themes...

Start by getting the source, you may want to go to the CM wiki to get setup. May want to build CM/AOSP before trying this since it's more documented.

Open your terminal...

$ mkdir themes
$ cd themes
$ repo init -u git://github.com/tmobile/themes-platform-manifest.git -b master
$ repo sync
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch themes_generic-eng hdpi

We can make now to make sure it compiles before moving on

$ make

After you see it works lets start our theme

$ cd tree_root
$ cd vendor/tmobile/themes
$ git clone git://github.com/haxzamatic/Templatebread-.git


The themes are all going to be located in...

/home/<USER-DIR>/android-themes/vendor/tmobile/themes/

In that directory we see the source for Templatebread, open it.

Now this is the source we edit.


package="com.gfxandroid.theme.Templatebread" to com.yourname.theme.themename

Then edit...

<theme
        pluto:themeId="Cyanbread" to pluto:themeId="Themename"
        pluto:styleId="@style/Cyanbread" to pluto:styleId="@style/Themename"

Save the AndroidManifest.xml

Now open /res/values folder

Open the Strings.xml and edit the following...

<resources>
<string name="app_name">Templatebread Theme</string> to <string name="app_name">YouPickIt</string>
<string name="theme_name">Templatebread</string> to <string name="theme_name">YouPickIt</string>
<string name="style_appearance_name">Templatebread</string> to <string name="style_appearance_name">YouPickIt</string>
<string name="author">Haxzamatic</string> to <string name="author">YouPickIt</string>
<string name="copyright">Haxzamatic</string> to <string name="copyright">YouPickIt</string>
</resources>

Save the strings.xml

Open themes.xml and edit

<resources>
    <style name="Purpbread" parent="@android:style/Theme" > to <style name="YouPickIt" parent="@android:style/Theme" >

Save themes.xml

Now open the /src/com/gfxandroid and rename gfxandroid to yourthemename

So it should be /src/com/yourthemename/theme/foo.java (So you know this is what the apk will com name will be... ex: com.gfxandroid.theme.purpbread)

Before "make" we need to edit one more thing, navigate to

/home/<USER-DIR>/android-themes/vendor/tmobile/products/themes

Now open themes-base.mk and add your theme name in this case we added Purpbread

PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
    ThemeManager \
    ThemeChooser \
    com.tmobile.themes \
    Templatebread \
    Cyanbread

Now your ready to make :)

After steps above are done once you can cd to themes dir and just make for testing new addtions or changes...

$ cd themes
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch themes_generic-eng
$ make
