Theming help for a former iPhone themer.

---

So, with the iphone it was possible (once jailbroken) to swap out system images (status bar, battery images, fonts and so on) on the fly via a file manger, once you uploaded the images to the device or connected via SSH to your computer of choice. So I'm curios if this is possible with android or is baking it into a custom rom / update and flashing it the only option?

Also wondering if there is anything like winterboard for android? I have toyed around with apps like ahome, pandahome and the likes, but I dont really like the idea of a replacement home screen.

regular way is creating an update file that you flash in recovery with all the mods you done. new way where you can watch videos about.. is kind of cool you do it without the need of update file and mostly without the need to reboot the device to take effect. check it out. thanks to stericson ..

That looks promising. A lot like winterboard for the iphone. Just needs a GUI and more safety checks, but, I'm sure that will come in time. I'll start making packs for it in a week or two hopefully once I figure out all the file names and paths.

Thanks for the tip!
