Once I had written theme making process with jzipman and got a huge response from people all around the globe via emails and forums. Coz at that time, it was totally impossible to make themes without a PC. I thank all of them who appreciated my findings. Now here's another tutorial to make themes with an application named MiniCommander. This process is much easier than the previous one. So first download this application here, MiniCommander.jad (Signed) MiniCommander.jar
Note: To do the following procedure, you have to make some necessary adjustments inside MiniCommander first. Go to settings and keep the PANEL MODE as VERTICAL and ROTATE SCREEN as NONE.
1. Extracting Element Files:
Open MiniCommander & click on the nth (theme) file you want to modify. You'll see a big list of files. These are the element files of that theme. Press LEFT SOFTKEY to select second panel/window at your right side. Browse inside the /E:/ or /C:/ and open any folder where you want to extract the element files. Press LEFT SOFTKEY again to go back to the previous panel where the theme is opened. Click '*' to mark all the elements and press '5'. You'll see a pop up asking for permission. Press LEFT SOFTKEY [OK]. Now it will take some time to extract all the files. After it finishes, exit MiniCommander. You will find the element files inside that particular folder.
2. Replacing Files:
Now its time to just choose and replace the files you want inside that folder. But keep in mind that the replacement file name & extension should be exactly the same as the file to be replaced.
3. Repacking Elements:
To repack the files again, open MiniCommander and go inside that folder. Press '*' to mark all the files (press '0' to mark one by one). Now press RIGHT SOFTKEY and select FILE, NEW ZIP ARCHIVE from the menu. You will see a form page. At the top of the form, you'll see the extension of file written as .zip. Make it as .nth and press OK. It will start packing. After it finishes, exit MiniCommander and you'll find your new made theme inside that folder. Thats it ;-).
4. Replacing theme elements directly:
With MiniCommander you can replace/delete/insert one or more element file/files of a theme. For that, in MiniCommander, open the theme in your left panel. In the right panel, browse through your desired file and mark with the '0' key. Now press '5' and you will see a form page again. Just press OK and thats it.
** If you are using unsigned version of MiniCommander, then allow all the security prompts during the process described above. **
Here's a colour scheme for you which I made for my own use. Download it and apply in MiniCommander. DOWNLOAD
