thanks man. now i know i want this minimalist because i wouldnt try this hard to get most themes going lol
Haha yeah man I kind of do a mix of the different instructions on the page. I keep a pulled apk in my C:\android\tools folder. I then overwrite whatever files I need to in the .apk and then reboot my device into recovery. From there I mount /system, /data, and /cache just for good measure. I push the apk and then reboot. Presto. My Widgetlocker is themed and it stays intact since I push it to /system/app. Always make sure it's not hanging out in /data/app either.
By the way didn't you theme back in the day?
