Putting GB Onyx theme on ICS?

[alfaunits]

Hi, all. I recently upgraded from GB to ICS, and while I am happy with most changes (most notably the audio quality seems better!), I just can't see the screen as easy with the new themes available (eyesight related issues).

The GB Onyx theme was so perfect for me, and I don't see a way to use it on ICS now - all the others are there still.

I can change the background, the Settings menu (and menus in other apps) are workable (though not as easy as in GB theme), but it's just different in a bad way. (messaging is quite different with the other themes, and it's hard to use).

Is there anything I can do without reverting to GB, unrooting or installing a different ROM? Thanks!

As I understand this is not possible to do without downgrading, rooting or installing another ROM.

I suggest that you check over at the XDA forums if there is a way to get this theme without risking your warranty.

you can increase the txt size, you can use other messaging apps so you can customize them as you want, an example, handcent sms

Well, after some testing, I found I could simply copy DefaultThemes.apk from the Gingerbread ROM to the ICS one and I got the Gingerbread themes - woohoo!

I am trying to do a similar thing on Xperia S now, however, but the XperiaS ROM is completely different from the ArcS ROMs
