Help the Duck - Looking for script to set active windows theme

[NinjaDuck]

Tried google and am too busy to hack this one together...

Does anyone have a script that will set the active windows theme?

For clarity:

• Not sense
• Not Titanium

I am looking for the equivilent to going in to Settings --> Home --> Appearance --> Select theme and click OK.

The scenario is setting a theme that is already installed to be active.

Thanks!

Thanks. Some great info there, but nothing that addressed exactly what I was trying to do.

So I figured out why this was not working the way you would expect. In my case, I am using NRG ROM and trying to set the active Theme to one of the ones he cooked in to the ROM.

I simply extracted and cleaned up the XML from the TSK files and executed them during UC.

It requires a reboot for them to take effect.

I am attaching the XML if anyone else wants it.

** THIS IS ONLY FOR NRG ROM ***

thanks man, i think i got it though. i used sktools to extract the xml but havent tested it yet. what did you do to clean up the xml and is it neccesary?

this is exactly what ive been looking for since i need xda uc to apply the tsk before it installs cabs and imports cht or the theme will overwrite some of my mods. now after i do the flash dance i really dont have to do much. i run uc, apply my custom font, enter my email/facebook passwords, reset and im done. after that everything is setup exactly how i want it

You need to delete the install block and the file operations from the XML.

Since the files are cooked in to the ROM, nothing is actually coppied. Since the extracted XML is no longer a setup program, you need to remove that info.

This is the info I removed from Livven TSK
