Not by me
. Has anyone tried running this in say wine ? not sure how that would work out lol. I'll see if i can bug farmatito to bring this to linux like he did apk manager. Im sure u can bug some dev's too Not by me
Yea I dont know any scripting haha. I might have someone that may do it, ill have to talk to him and see.
Awesome let me know if u get him
will do, this is probably one of the most valuable tools for themers honestly
sorry it took me so long to get back to this. i was working 18 hour shifts for the past 2 days.
anyways. quick question before i get testing. is this also backwards transferable?
i.e. 2.1 theme to 1.6 theme?
cause truth is. i hate all roms past 1.6. They are all battery gobblers
and slow.
I doubt it. will have to make small changes to b backward compatible. Im away till monday so ill upload modified one. Meantime let me know if elegance to super e works.
these are the results
as you can see the notification bar didnt transfer.
and the menu items didnt change color
good start
but i need the backwards compatibility

cool yea a gud start
So its framework-res.apk givin problems. k this narrows it down a lot thnx.
Which version u try? the one in main post or one i posted a few pages back? one in main post should work fine, especially for cm5 to cm6. can u check n see, u sure framework-res.apk wasn't themed?
As long as they are the same resolution (mdpi to mdpi, hdpi to hdpi) this will work fine.

Ok so turns out, whts changed in pre eclair compared to post eclair is that the status bar background is now a .9 png instead of a regular png, hence my script ignored copying it cuz filename's didn't match. So i dont think there's anyway around it cuz merely copying the png and renaming it .9 png won't work, as u know .9 png's have information contained within them. Anyone has other ideas ?
Im confused as to "menu items didnt change color". Do u mean the background tabs when u press menu ? as in "settings,notification,wallpaper's button background" ???

40Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.
How it works:
- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom
- Then extracts pngs from those apks
- Then deletes mismatching pngs
- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom
- Done
Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.
Betas are spread out through-out the thread (they provide a lot more features)
Instructions:
- Download zip
- Extract zip
- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)
- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)
- Run batch script
- The new folder is now themed
Requirements: Windows environment
Improvements:
- Dependant on demand for this script.
NOTE: For now u can only transfer themes from 2.0+ to 2.0+ roms and pre 2.0 to pre 2.0 roms. Big reason is because of the mdpi folders whereas before there was only one. Will implement it as soon as possible.
Beta 3 Download - http://www.multiupload.com/62I7MXV6203
Actually, the original mediafire file is still there (the animated download link) - it's just that mediafire changed their url format...
This works: http://www.mediafire.com/?d6n25tjqnksnk7t22
>>Download Theme Porter 3 from here<<
Theme Porter Support everything! All the ROMs!!!
For Example... it works if you have to "Port" a Theme/ROM for Nexus S to a Theme/ROM for Galaxy S or a Milestone!
(attention when the former is hdpi and the latter is mdpi, use the function
Toggle to hdpi-to-mdpi, but I don't know how this works)
The Porter works like Metamorph (but all happens on the PC, so out from the phone)!
Metamorph works while the smartphone is active (OS is working)!
With Metamorph I have problems if I try to modify frameork-res.apk, I suppose because OS are using it!
So I use TP without problems!
__________________________
Theme Porter extracts all the PNG of all the APKs in /OLD and compare them with all the PNG of all the APKs in /NEW!
If there are 2 PNG with the same name in the same place, Theme Porter takes the PNG in /NEW and replace it with the PNG in /OLD!
If the PNG exists only in /OLD, Theme Porter doesn't copy it in /NEW!
If the PNG exists only in /NEW, Theme Porter doesn't replace it (because there's nothing to replace)!
___________________
Doesn't matter if you use a Theme or Rom in update.zip, you need only the APKs!
Indeed you only need the png in the apk!
You can use (or make) a nameofapp.zip with inside only the folder /res/drawable/etc.... (or res/drawable-hdpi/pngfiles...etc...), then rename it in .apk and put it in OLD, and Theme Porter works just as well!!
Address are too long!
Rename Theme Porter folder in "TP" and put it in C/
So you will have C/TP/new and C/TP/old, it works in this way!
Here I posted a >Video Tutorial< in Italian!
If you want... I can translate the slides in english! (Let me know...)
But it's so easy that it is not necessary translate...
The Rom is a update.zip that contains (not only...) apks .... etc etc etc!
The Theme is an update.zip that contains the Font, Bootanimation, and all the apks of the ROM (wich is based on) but with "themed" png!
The Theme.apk for theme chooser is different and it is only 1 apk that works like metamorph, but in different way because Theme Chooser doesn't replace physically the png in all the system.apk (all the apks of the ROM), but "tell" to the device that the png that are in the system apks are now in the Theme.apk (Theme for Theme Chooser)
You can learn to use Theme.apk for Theme Chooser from
>>>HERE - [GUIDE] T-mobile theme engine for the faint at heart<<<
You could use Theme Porter (TP) between 2 apk for Theme Chooser, but this isn't the same of using TP between 2 ROM/Theme, because 2 apks for Theme Chooser could be very different!!!2i need some help. i made some changes to the colors of some of the png's just in the drawable-mdpi folder in gomorrah's cm 6.1 theme and im trying to port the theme to jaybob's froyo2.2 DEC 17 BLACKMOD rom. i put gomorrah's framework in the old folder and jaybob's framework in the new folder, run the script, select 1, and it just says "The system cannot find the file specified." for both the apps and framework. heres a screenshot. thanks for any help.
I was having the same problem as you until I moved the folder containing the theme porter to "C:/themeporter". Any spaces will prevent the script from running.
May I suggest that the OP be amended to make this clear as I'm sure it will save a lot of similar posts / people's time?
