Hi,

thx for answering,

I already tried you method by adding directly the value, its still the same (just for information: zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml point to color.xml which has the color value).

Wherever I change the value, I get bootloop, anything else that need to be changed for this ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
you have to change the values to hexcodes like "#ffffffff" (white) in the "zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml".that's the way I change it all the time and it works fine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nuja:
yes that is what I tried but with my color code "#ffdcdcdc" :/

what do u use to edit the file ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Shinfei:
Ok for me (on VR1.4 and LP)

- Status bar close at start

- MMS says me it's not install

- I try in the contact to write an sms and "android.process.acore" close.

- Power menu don't open when press power button.

- Animation in open/close are very smooth and nice ;)

- No problem for icons and layout ;)

Very nice without a GSII to do this :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
thanks for testing it and giving a detailed report.well,indeed,it's hard to do.and lots of structures and files changed compared to the sgs1.but I am on it,hopefully with the help of freak and maybe vertumus.

I edit the xmls by notepad++.so how do you compile the framework?(decompile,too).are you editing an already modified framework?that might be the point?or how do you insert the file?

thanks,then I try to continue with that one.hope,you continue,too.maybe vertumus will join us and help,if you don't mind.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Great
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nuja:
The framework comes from kg1. No icons/pictures modification yet.

I use apk manager to decompile/compile.

Ill start over with stock deodexed framework.

edit: used stock rom (just dedexed) and you method to change color and it still bootloop Oo, its driving me nuts :/
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
Sorry.stopped developing for the sgs2.I don't have the time to nor the phone.Also I am working on a new version of my theme for the sgs1 featuring some new mods.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
If you want, I can continue work on your theme :) I don't mind as I've completed the port from the Black Android theme
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
yeah,that would be great.maybe you can cooperate with freakonaleash.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] afx69:
This sounds great!

Will you post the theme in a new thread or continue this thread?

When will you start??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
As far as I'm aware you need to use the ROM's (Whichever you're using's) stock framework as they have no corrupted .9.PNG's in there.

The reason why you can't compile an APK is because of corrupt images, well, not currupted as such but formatted wrong and APKManager doesn't like it.

I will continue Paul's work when I've finished the Matted Blues Theme for the SGSII.

Hope this helps guy :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pauldiddy:
great news,lookin forward to it :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
You won't be dissapointed Paul :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zenf:
Yeah, with Titanium Backup.

Ciao, è possibile in caso sostituire solo la percentuale della batteria del tema, anzichè tutto quanto? :D

Beautiful theme, but a small bug: The popup menu for highlighting/text editing now completely obscures the text label. I'll post up a screenshot shortly.

EDIT: Screenshot attached.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
fixed :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cmd512:
Awesome, thank you sir. Which of the files do we need to repush to /system for this popup fix? Shouldn't be all of them, right?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
only framework-res
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cmd512:
Thanks, confirmed fixed. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Added version
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vimto25:

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lpsi2000:
Don't we need to deodexed this first before applying themes and other stuff?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cmd512:
Nope, just follow the instructions, works perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
Hi,

if you change from galaxy s to galaxy s2, need to ccok again framework and system.ui ?

or there is another way to edit somethings ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
if you mean uot,no

you have 2 ways:

1 - decompile/recompile apk (if you have to edit also .xml files)

2 - open your apk files,with a program like winrar or krusader,pickup your image,edit it and recopy on apk file.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
tks and, wich is the apk to edit image ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Systemui for the footer bar
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
to get the "Galaxy S II" only need to replace systemUI.apk?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
see now that you are added in your zip the new logo "galaxy s2" .... maybe is more simple for me recooked the apks or, open your new and copy and paste ?

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Copy and past,is very simple
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
SOLVED !

open system.ui apk with winrar and the new png is : status bare close on 9

exctracted and copy to my cooked systemUI.apk

grazie Freak ...

WoW
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
Hi,

all is ok but cooked the framework and systemUI for to have the transparent statusbar (where there is signal bar, hours etc. etc)

I chose in UOT transparent statusbar and flag topbar and with preview have the white on the top.

when copy the files on system and reboot I dont'have transparency ....

where I'm in wrong ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] glimpsofreality:
Its awesome theme thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
nothing wrong.UOT for transparent status bar must work.

when you are on topbar select a color and a smaller percentage
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
I've try with 0% for full transparent ...

now try with 10%

.....

make in this way :

upload framework an systemUI and the apply mod statusbar :

flag Enable transparency in status bar

then flag topbar

then switch to FFFFF and put 10%

it's ok ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mxn-:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Yes,try also with an other color

Follow instructions on first post.

Use root explorer for copy files
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ATSE888:
Hi there

Root explorer doesn't seem to let me write to system/apps or system/framework for some reason.

When i try to go into permissions is says " cannot be changed because the file system is ready only"?

Phone is running KE2 with root and reflashed with stock KE2 kernal.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] amuneer:
Mate your device needs to be ROOTED for you be able to get write access to the system folder. Check the sticky on the SGS II forum on how to do that. Also in Root Explorer, directories could be mounted as 'Read Only' by default. Click on the 'Mount R/W' button on the top to mount as Read/Write.

Edit. Ignore the first tip since you are already rooted. Try the second one.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
i can't download it please upload again :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
works great here
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:

I know... I'm a newbie when it comes to Android... realised it was on R/O instead. Thanks anyway mate.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Shinfei:
hi,

big thanks for the work, my phone look more awesome than before :)

I done everything but erase data of touchwizz.

All seems to work.

Is it important to erase these data ? And if it is, i don't understand what or where i have to erase it.

thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
if work,don't erase data
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Shinfei:
Ok thank you^^

raah i really love it, the icons are so gorgeous

But for my personal knowledge, what did you mean by erase the touchwizz data ? (if someday i see this again, i will know or how to do it :) )
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Settings-> manage application> search for twlauncher and click ->erase data
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Shinfei:
ah ok, i imagine something more complicate with file to delete in root explorer.

thanks again for your answer and your work ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
you're welcome :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
How do you revert back to the original theme?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
With a backup of original files
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Great job, working well on ke2:)

But some of the menu popups in this theme have a little too transparent white/grey backgrounds, making it harder to use the phone in direct sunlight.

Any chance of a slight adjustment here..?

Or even more black backgrounds with white text if possible?

Thanks for your work
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
I'll edit png or i'll change text colour in the weekend,cause i'm not @ home
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mjkdubois:
Hi, theme looks great but when I have copied the final files over phone locks up for an age. finally status bar changes come up with the new theme but rest of the screen stays black and phone becomes non-responsive. After attempting to restart, phone gets stuck at second galaxy sII screen and wont boot any further. Im running villain rom 1, any ideas? thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
Do you have a backup of the original files?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mjkdubois:
yeah I made a backup but since adb wouldn't work just used Odin to reflash ke2 to get back to stock settings.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Only for ke2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
Try to copy only framework,twframework and systemui and tell me please if works(pheraps i forgot something on other files i don't use villain rom)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mjkdubois:
I got it sorted using pure ke2 rather then villain, looks fantastic now so going to stick with it for time being till I have some more time, cheers for the help though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:

:(

tks anyway Freak
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Transparent statusbar.. Could you not just use a transparent png?

Like how the statusbar notification background in the drop down menu are transparent with a white frame, could not the statusbar also be transparent?

I know some of the ones for nexus one used a transparent png, so if I can dig one out, it could just be swapped..

Although feel free to enlighten me if I'm totally wrong;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] B3311:

Maybe asking too much here, but as you seem to be the only person so far who has ported a SGS theme over for the SGS2, would you consider doing the same for pele's Black Android Theme:

Then i located system/app/twwallpaperchooser.apk and i long pressed the "twwallpaperchooser.apk". A message appeared telling me that this is a package installer and what would I like to do. There are "Install", "View" and "Cancel". I clicked "View" and tried to paste it the "moved" picture.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
@freakonaleash

Been jumping around on themes now, and i keep coming back to this one:)

I need to do a few mods for i to work for me. Can you help?

The transparency in the different menu popups bothers me. So, are those transparent png's or xml edits? If transparent png, can you tell me which ones so I can swap them?

Also, crt effect.. Is that supposed to be in this theme? Somehow my device keeps going back to "normal" screen off after a while if I am on a theme that includes the effect. Not getting it on yours either, so just checking..

Hmm.. I think that's all.

Again, nice work porting this :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
jonata in my theme transparent status bar doesn't work very well because i edited and patched every images so i have not statusbar_background.9.png and this is a problem.........the status bar is like invisible not transparent.....

i'm managing where is the problem on java code and that is not so simple ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
framework/drawablwe-hdpi/

you must change all menu_background images,menu separotor,all popup images,spinner and toast images
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Eddiemc:
Nice, thanks mate:-)

I do not mind the toast, the popupmenu itself and so on. They are nice.

I only wanna make the white background solid to make it easier to add widget etc. The transparency does work in the power menu (power button) because the background gets blurred. But on the home screen when going to add a widget or similar it gets a bit cluttered. Just my personal taste..

So hopefully it's only the menu_background that I need to swap right?

Cheers -e

syntax is very different from other transparent statusbar

why?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freakonaleash:
i don't know exactly why,but many function are in different places with different syntax.

example : right sintax for transparent statusbar is not to point on shade_bg but simply android:background="@android:color/transparent"
