[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Nottach, seeing as how you are the local expert on all things location wise ;) I was hoping that you could help me locate a couple of pngs.

1) The left picture I'm pretty sure is in the Framework-res, but I changed a bunch of pngs to grey, and now I can't figure out which one is responsible for the top notifications bar.

2) I'm also assuming one of the pngs in the framework-res is responsible for turning the top portion of my dialer/phone tabs grey as well in the right pic; any idea which? Also, I have changed almost every stock contact pick I can find in both the BlurDialer & BlurPhone apks, but I can't seem to find this little baster circled in red in the right picture as well; under recent calls and on the main dial screen.

Thanks for your help. You're awesome man!

#1 would be in SystemUI\res\drawable-hdpi

It would be 'title_bar_portrait.9.png'

#2 would be in Framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi

It would be 'tab_unselected.9.png'.. there is another 'tab_unselected_v4.9.png'.. but I don't remember changing that one...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
The contact picture would be in the BlurPhone.apk in the drawable-hdpi folder. The images are called ic_pane_contact_photo and ic_pane_unknown_caller
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Thank you both... will try it out and give proper thanks once I get home on Sunday.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
So if I want to inverse the settings menu (make the white background black & make the black text white), I would go about that how??? :)

Editing 9.pngs

EDITING 9.PNGs

I didn't know where to post this or want to start a new thread. Anyways I found a free program that works flawlessly with editing 9.pngs. It even allows you to use semi-transparent (translucent) colors, offering more control over transparency effects. Give it a try the program is called PixelFormer .

Also instead of saving it just EXPORT IT.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] on21st:
Does anyone know what these two images are. There are several button images in the framework-res and the SystemUI not sure which ones I would have to edit. I also want to know if I can make part of the dismiss icon next to the missed call transparent.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jpinoy:
The dismiss .png should be the zz_moto_btn_control_remove.png, etc.. there's a series of them as they change colors when you press them.. i.e 'focus' 'pressed'... you can make pretty much any image transparent or parts of it if you want, up to you..

The on for the header 'clear' button, not sure which one I changed( I really need to start paying attention.. :p ), but I have mine with black background.. I'll have to check when I get home, unless you find it before then..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] D$G:
The first image is in framework drawable_hdpi look for multiple btn_default.pngs
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] on21st:
Thank You. I changed both images. Now my question is which xml do I edit to change the text color on the clear button. I assume it is in the styles folder in framework-res but I really have no idea.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
Read Nottach's guide for porting a theme. He tells how to change the color of the text. And can you tell me the exact png you edited for the clear button. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] on21st:
I believe it was btn_default_small_normal or some combination of those words. Located in the framework-res. I have looked at the guide but I don't know what lines are for the buttons specifically. A word of warning though the button is universal for the phone not just in the drop down menu.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
buttons in framework/styles are for the, well framework. the clear button text color is given directly inside systemui/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
To get all the text appear white in the notification drop down, as in the picture above, which .xml do I have to edit & which lines? Right now, my date text is grey and my individual notifications are black. Thanks for your help guys.

*Edit*

Probably the same location as Nottach just mentioned??

Well I think I found the Notification Header Text Color in drawables.xml (which is already white). Huummm... wonder if the "notification_number_text_color" applies to the actual notifications??? One way to find out I guess.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
search for event in framework/styles. there are two instances, content and title.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Cool, thanks man... got the individual notification text color changed... Where's the Date header text color located at, if you don't mind?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
You can check his guide. It's all there including the Date color
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Thanks for everyone's help. Got all my notification bar issues sorrted out. Now on to a few more problems. :p I think I've seen this somewhere, but I can't find it, and I've tried finding the source image/string by myself but have been unsuccessful, so maybe one of you guys can help.

In the first 2 pics, I'm trying to change the empty grey area to black. Any idea where the .png or .xml value may be?

Also, I've changed the large .png file quoted below to a custom image, which does change the large contact pic when making a call, however the smaller stock contact photo that appears under "Recent" have not changed. (See my pic @ post #109). I've changed almost every contact photo I can find in the blurphone, blurcontact, and blurdialer. Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Bump... I know someone knows. :p
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
Try changing ic_thb_contact_photo.png in the drawable-hdpi folder in blur-res.apk. I believe that's the right image
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
That was it... Thanks! That was a stupid place for it to be. :p Happen to know how to change the grey space? :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Bumpity bump bump... still looking for way to change grey area (shown in previous post) to black.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
Does anybody know which xml to edit to change the color of the text in the notification area during a call? Editing the event lines for the statusbar don't do the trick..

Gmail

I was able to theme Gmail in Froyo no problem... haven't been able to theme it since the upgrade.. has anyone tried yet and got the changes to stick?

I've changed a couple of the ic_menu_xxxx png but they do not show up to what I changed in gmail, they default to the grey colored ic_menu_xxx png... looks weird as it seems to pull some of the ic_menu_xxx png icons from framework-res and those are themed, so it's mixed up.. :D...

Oh, and I've changed all the same icons in all the other folders, thinking it wasn't using HDPI folder... no go:mad: .. :p
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
If youve updated gmail then you may have two gmail apks. if so you can incorporate the update into rom with titback and then try again. this happened to me with market once.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
thats most likely part of blurphone. but im not sure.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
i think that has to do with the overall background/theme of framework-res. maybe change it to theme.black instead of theme.light? sort of like the settings invert mod.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Can you please tell me which value to edit to change to theme black? Thank you
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
I dont know if thats actually correct it was just an idea. But if it were that it would be androidmanifest.xml.

have you tried messing with:

<color name="background_dark">#ff000000</color>

<color name="background_light">#ffefefef</color>

in framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jpinoy:
So.. is that other apk hidden?:D as I only see 1 gmail.apk... and how would you incorporated the two with TB.. I don't have the full version of TB, btw..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
in data/app? Im not sure if this is the solution, just an idea.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jpinoy:
Yup, had tried there already as well... thanks!

Edit* Uninstalling the update does show my edited icons... just wondering where the updated gmail.apk is hiding..:eek:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Maybe replace the gmail.apk in system/app with the newest version found in the gapps.zip?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Ok, guys / gals... This is the only part of my phone, contacts and dialer that I cannot seem to find and change. It only appears under Contacts, which would lead one to believe that it's in BlurContacts, but I've changed just about every "bar" type .png to black; same in the dialer & phone too, and framework-res too. Anyone know where this bastard is located? Destroying my whole theme! :mad: :p

As always thanks for your help in advance.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
Its in moto-res.apk. Its caller header_top.png
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
OMG... we need to have android children together!!! :eek::D:p

Thank you!

*That sure was a stupid place for it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
You're welcome :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Ok, lets see if you can help me with these. :D

Also, when selecting a contact with multiple phone numbers, etc. I get a popup with white on white text, and the phone numbers are light grey. Anyway to change the colors? Know which value to edit, and in which .apk? Thanks again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] gera4ever94:
I really don't know about the gray area. I based my theme off of Alien which already had the gray area changed to black. Maybe you should consider basing your theme on Alien also. And about the gray text, the only thing I can think of is changing the pop-up menu text color. Try editing this line in styles.xml in your framework:

<style name="TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item" parent="@style/TextAppearance.Small">

<item name="textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>

Change this to #ff000000 or whatever color you want and see if it works. I can't really say for sure.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
Ok, so I ported my framework-res & systemui over to Kenneth's Alien .apks. All went well, and I finally got rid of my "grey area" problem. However, now I notice that when I select a recent call (under Recent), and I get the call details screen, it looks like this.

Any thoughts?

/data/app themes

A while back, tonez was trying to theme a launcher and get it to stick.. anyone have any luck with themeing any of the apps in /data/app directory and making it stick? :confused:

Wondering if it's a permission issue...

Edit... was able to grab the .apk from /data/app.. (this is the Go Launcher Ex apk)... uninstalled the Go Launcher... did my edits... and placed the .apk into the /system/app folder, rebooted and it stuck... but I think you will have to manually delete the apk to get rid of Go Launcher, as I couldn't uninstall it the normal way.. doh!.. need to mess around more to see if there is a different way to install and make it stick with the option to uninstall it the normal way.. :D

Are they .9.pngs?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jpinoy:
I've found that using apk manager, unless I need to change an .xml file or .9.png file, I just use options 1, 2, 3 and 5, no need to decompile and recompile.

If you are changing .9.png icons, then I would also recommend using xUltimate-d9pc to finalize your changes to those icons. It will let you know if the black bar/dots along the edge of the template that a .9.png needs is missing or needs to be corrected.

Are you talking about the top bar with the time, signal, etc.. I've seen it done, do a search in Themes and Apps, you should be able to find it. It might actually be in this thread, not sure..

If you're talking about the dropdown status bar, then you just make the .png transparent with gimp or paint.net.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Obartuckc:
I mean the statusbar with the time, signal bars, and battery meter. I'm on latest version of PiCrust ROM. Thanks.

Does anybody know where these blue colors come from. Ive searched all the apks and can't find any blue image or value. Did I miss it in an xml?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:
I always just stick it in a flashable .zip and flash it via CWM... works every time.

*Attached is the file I used for custom CM7 files.... should still work on any other ROM, as location is the same for framework-res & systemui. Just put the .apk in the right folder, and make sure to select No Compression.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
You're rooted right? Permission is being denied when the program attempts to move the modified framework to the phone, so it never gets pushed. You will be prompted to allow superuser access the first time you transfer to the phone, so make sure that you allow access when prompted on your phone. I use this method when pushing frameworks if I'm making a lot of quick transfers but Swiftks is right that a CWM flash is generally the better way to push the framework. The errors you are showing in the apk Manager log are a little odd. I would re-install apk Manager and start working with a clean framework-res.apk from your phone if possible.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] AlteredSineWave:
Thanks for the responses, guys. I think there was something wrong with my root as a lot of apps were failing to receive su permissions. I restored to stock using Motorola's update manager and then rooted again. Everything seems to be working as far as the phone is concerned, but I am still having no luck with apk manager. Every tutorial I have found has left me with unusable files. Honestly, all I want to do is replace the signal bar icons, but I have found no easy way to do this.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Swiftks:

HOW TO Remove the battery icon in GingerBread 2.3.X

In order to totally remove the battery icon from the status bar you need to decompile SystemUI.apk.

Open StatusBarPolicy.smali located in /smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/

Search for "battery" (with the quotes)

Change:

iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->mService:Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;

const-string v5, "battery"

invoke-virtual {v4, v5, v0, v1}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIcon(Ljava/lang/String;II)V

To:

iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->mService:Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;

const-string v5, "battery"

invoke-virtual [COLOR=Red]{v4, v5, v6}[/COLOR], Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->[COLOR=Red]setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V[/COLOR]

Help Editing AndroidManifest.xml

I've been having a hell of a time editing AndroidManifest.xml files. I haven't gotten it to work yet. I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong or if there's something different from any other file in an apk. Here's what I've tried, please let me know if you can help.

Method 1:

Using APKMultiTool - Decompile APK - Make edits to AndroidManifest.xml - Recompile - Delete old AndroidManifest from keep folder - Finish Compiling

Push apk to phone.

Gets stuck at boot animation, Does not Boot Loop, just keeps going. No ADB access.

Method 2:

Same as above but using APKManager 4.9

Same results as Method 1.

Method 3:

Using apktool - Decompile APK - Make edits to AndroidManifest.xml in out folder - Recompile - Sign

Push to phone.

Gets stuck at boot animation, BUT, I can hear the mounting sounds signalling a finished boot, and I have ADB access.

What am I missing or doing wrong. I can edit any other file without problems but the damn AndroidManifest always gives me trouble.

I'm trying to enable landscape in BlurHome.apk for 2.3.6 by changing two "nosensor" values to "sensor".

Ideas?

EDIT: In a last final effort I resigned all the apks in app and framework and it worked. Wish I didn't have to do that. But so far it seems ok. Just following up for the sake of the thread. I really think this thread should be pinned.

Updated Info for Android 4.0 ICS on Atrix 4G

There are some quirks right now to decompile/recompile some of the apks in ICS. From what I can tell, you want to use apktool version 1.4.2 for working with ICS files. Apktool 1.4.3 is available, but causing issues with framework-res.apk. Here is a quote and link to a thread discussing tools for decompiling/recompiling ICS apks.

'This method is tested, and working for ICS 4.0.3 IML74K (stock) framework-res.apk ICS 4.0.3 framework-res.apk rebuild is not working with apktool 1.4.3 and latest aapt from SDK R16 Because the 'string encoding' is not correct in the 'plurals.xml' with apktool 1.4.3, and if you tried to rebuild, you get some error...'

but i would guess that the dock is the same to both tablets, i got one and it has 3 USB 1 HDMI 1 headphones (stereoplug) and a powerplug.
