So Friends,
I guess you liked TIPOiCE !!!
Let me add a LilBit more to Make your NINJA smile even More...

..........Have a Look on following Screenshots...........

Yes COLOURS do eXXpress your Mood and Style !!! and If you want to express your Mood through your Device then Follow the GUIDE below:

Difficulty Level: Medium
Tools Needed:
(1) APKTOOL for Decompiling & Recompiling framework-res.apk
(2) Notepad++ for edition codes in .XML
(3) 7zip for Exchanging Files from one Recompiled APK to Base APK

Method:
1. Download and Extract APKTOOL and place the Folder in C:\<here> Now Your APKTOOL path is C:\apktool
2. Download the V-Edge_TIPOiCE_BG-Blue on your PC (This is your Current Blue Theme)
3. You will need framework-res.apk to add to APKTOOL folder on C:\ for Theming (TIPOiCE framework-res.apk is already Kept in APKTOOL here, so no worries, start decompiling it)
3. Now open Command Prompt and Start Decompiling the framework: Steps are as Follows:

A) Locating APKTOOL directory on cmd:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\ViOLET R>cd c:\APKTOOL

B) Installing framework on APKTOOL:

C:\APKTOOL>apktool if framework-res.apk I: Framework installed to: C:\Documents and Settings\username\apktool\framework\1.apk

C) Decompiling framework-res.apk

C:\APKTOOL>apktool d framework-res.apk FRAMEWORK001 I: Loading resource table... I: Loaded. I: Decoding file-resources... I: Decoding values*/* XMLs... I: Done. I: Copying assets and libs...

You are done with Decompiling.

4. Now You will find your Decompiled files in FRAMEWORK001 folder that is now created in APKTOOL directory.
5. Open this folder and move to res/values/colors. Open colors.xml using Notepad++
6. You will find following in the bottom of Color list

........ ........ <color name="black_with_little_transparency">#dd000000</color> <color name="white_with_little_transparency">#ddffffff</color> <color name="violet">#ff9a0033</color> (Concentrate on here) </resources>

7. Check the Color Code in <color name="violet">....... i.e. #ff9a0033 This is for PINK theme you see in Screen Shot
8. Change the color code #XXXXXXXX to your desired "Hex Color Code" once done Save & Close the colors.XML
9. Re-Compiling APK:. Now again popout cmd screen and start recompiling the framework-res.apk: Type following

C:\APKTOOL>apktool b FRAMEWORK001 framework-res-new.apk W: Could not find sources I: Checking whether resources has changed... I: Building resources... I: Building apk file...

A new APK is now built in your APKTOOL directory named framework-res-new.apk (as we specified the name in your command)

10. Now Open this New APK (framework-res-new.apk (Not yet ready to be flashed)) and your framework-res.apk (base APK) side by side using 7zip
11. Replace 'res' folder and 'resources_arsc' of your framework-res.apk (Base APK) by 'res' folder and 'resources_arsc' of framework-res-new.apk (New APK)
12. Once done Close both APKs. Now The Edited framework-res.apk (where you have copied the 'res' and 'resources_arsc' is your FINAL framework to be installed.
13. Open the V-Edge_TIPOiCE_BG-Blue using 7zip and got to 'framework' folder and replace the framework-res.apk with the FINAL framework-res.apk that you got from above procedures. Close the zip and Install the Mod using CWM
14. Your whole android theme will be changed and will take the MOOD (COLOR) that you have set during editing colors.xml  

 

V-EDGE TIPOiCE v4.1 RELEASE
"JellyBeans Fusion with TIPOiCE"

LINK: V-EDGE_TIPOiCE_V4.1

SCREENSHOTS

 

The statusbar is Transparent only If you have not got Updated the ROM with 0.3.2 version...Try changing wallpaper..you ill come to know.
Transparent statusbar have issues while browsing and using few more stock apps...(icons get blur as the background of such apps is white.)

In 0.3.2 I have reset the whole background to color...instead of setting a pic a background and hence performance (time to load apps) is greatly improved and is its now almost instant.

If you still want to the new update 0.3.2 but with transparent statusbar only then Please download the same from here:

V-Edge_TIPOiCE_v0.3.2_TP (transparent Statusbar)
V-Edge_TIPOiCE_v0.3.2_NTP (Non-transparent Statusbar)

================================================== =======================================
To set a color of your choice as your default background please earlier post Taged as "ExxPRESS YOUR MOOD with V-EDGE TIPOiCE"

To identify exact color code of a color you see somewhere on a pc or web.... do following:

Download that PIC or take a screenshot of page haveing that color and then Go to this site: http://imagecolorpicker.com/
Upload your images there and then click on your color on the uploaded pic..you will get the code below on that page only.

Note the code e.g. #003e3b
Add 'ff' before this code so it will become your 8 digit color code with Null transparency: i.e. #ff003e3b
Now use this 8 digit code in above tutorial.
Recompile apk and flash it... It will change all background as expected.

Note: You must have to use the same framework-res.apk that is already included in APKTOOL folder. Replace the included widget_btn_transparent in res/drwables-mdpi if you want Transparent Widget buton as well on lock-screen.
