Thanks for the great additions. Could you check my earlier post? I added 2 themes that work without changing the dpi from the same dev of afterburner.
They look good. Let me know your comments

Oh my bad! I completely missed that on my xoom! This is probably a sign that i need to get one of those forum apps... Either the XDA app or Tapatalk.

Anyways, let me add those right away!

EDIT: Done! And I tried some of the other ones from A.C.R. Development too.

Edit: tried changing DPI to 240 then reboot. Still wouldn't apply theme. :( what am I doing wrong? I got the version linked in the first post. :( Still says compiled incorrectly.

Did you ever manage to get the PCB theme working. I am having the same issue. I had it working on a Team EOS nightly, then switched over to CM9 to try it out and am getting the "Not compiled properly...." error now. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no dice. Weird.

Try setting your dpi to 120. It seems that theme chooser has no issues applying themes at that dpi.

Actually I ended up getting it working by uninstalling, re-applying the "system" theme, reinstalling PCB theme and then applying, with a reboot between each step for good measure. Works now. Odd.

I have a question....I just installed supernova and I'm digging the green and purple alot....bad ass.

but the soft keys are really low res. I tried doing the dpi change but it errored when I did so I just applied it on regular res.

1) does the res thing affect the soft keys? cause everything else looks fine
2) I tried flashing a different soft key and it didn't work.....is there anyway to flash custom soft keys on top of a theme?

also if I extract the apk, could I get the icons out of it? and whats most efficient way to extract? I had trouble last time I tried

Well, if you want to remove the icons from an apk, simply renaming the apk to zip, removing files, then renaming back to apk might not work.

What softkeys are you trying to flash? If you check my sig, I have softkeys that are from the xoom2. Or you could try iammodo's softkeys for the xoom too.

If you are using the EOS rom, you can try custom softkeys in the EOS Settings. Something similar is present in Rom Control if you are using AOKP.

But if you are really looking into changing the apk, then you will need to decompile the apk, delete /res/values/public.xml then delete the files you want. When you are done with that, you would have to recompile the apk. I also have a guide for things like that in my sig, skip the parts that relate to distributing the theme though.

Hope that helps...

Yeah, I tried changing the apk to. Zip but couldnt find any softkey images. I just really like this supernova rom....its so cool....but the softkeys look really low Res. All icons and menus look fantastic but the softkeys are lame. And u can't just flash softkeys over them in recovery....the themes keys stay.

Deylon- even though your question has nothing to with theme choosers that work with Xoom
(LOL at previous thrown tantrum)
Here is a sloppy, dumb'd down way to accomplish what you want to do. The Softkeys are inside the SystemUI. With root explorer or similar application, Extract the SuperNova ROM.zip, navigate to System/app find SystemUI.apk -extract it, locate the softkeys, delete them, and replace the softkeys with the ones of your choice. Recompile (rezip) the modified SystemUI.apk, drop it back into the res/settings/app directory of said (not as awesome as EOS ROM ) recompile (rezip) the extracted SuperNovaROM.zip Reflash. If you did it correctly your new softkeys will be displayed after reboot.

Happy 4th everyone!

Of course my question is relevant.....using a theme blocks the ability to flash new softkeys from recovery, so i asked for a workaround.

I never threw a tantrum, I told you I meant no disrespect because I didn't nor do now, and suggested that your flashable ui doesn't really belong here. And I only did that because I love this theme Chooser feature and don't want people who agree to not contribute because of distractions. Im sorry about the whole thing.

Anyway, the parts of your workaround that im having trouble with are the locating of the softkey files. I looked in the systemui.apk of the softkey package and I found a softkey but it was plain (not the fancy softkey that the package should have) so i was confused. Another thing that confused me was that there about eight folders inside the "Res" folder, so it hard to pinpoint where they'd be.

Thanks for the help.
