Yes, but just replace the 'theme' with 'theme'. ...looks like ur trying to replace 'theme' AND 'label' with 'theme'.

U got me?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Yeah, u would think, huh! ...lol;)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Yeah I guess when you pushable new rom almost weekly there's no time to fix silly .9's
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Oh, wait... If u had no issues b4, and ur positive that it was the same exact resources APK, then u should try using a different version of APKtool. I get best results with the newer ones (1.41, 1.42) but u can try older ones too! Some different versions of APKtool tent to read patches wrong it seems.

U can also try a different aapt version ....tho I'm not sure where u get them (google). My tool does all that for me;)

-GO ANDROID-UTILITY, lol
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
True!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rel500:
not quiet..

so instead of <application android:theme="@style/Theme" android:label="@string/settings_label"

it should look like this??

<application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Oh no I'm sorry new system and new rom base. On my old system I was on a diffrwnt rom. Sorry for not explaining.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Wow, TapaTalk is acting funny...

So just replace:

"@style/Theme"

with

"@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"

....and u did see my post on how to add wut I call *"true trans" to it, right?

Or u can make a custom background.... Sorry, not trying to confuse u!

Index: *"true transparency" is wut i call being able to see the contents of the window behind the current window.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Yeah I'm waiting for au for windows that sounds Like a really cool tool.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rel500:
This is my first attempt at xml editing. I think I did it right. I'm compiling now. Let's see what happens.

OK so assuming it should look like this

<application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper" android:label="@string/settings_label"

6 picking up from where i left off i now typed 11 to compile apk

7 it asks if its system app i type y

8 it asks aside from signatures would u like to copy...blah blah i type y

9 it says everything is ok.. if u modified any xml delete resources.arsc

10 i delete resources.arsc go back to ApkM and press enter

11 its compressing everything and says all is ok

12 i find a unsignedSettings apk

now what?

should i rename it to Settings and push to phone?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rel500:
That didn't work :(

glacier!? no its a mytouch 4G

Iraq doesn't work cuz u allowed APK Mgr to sign it prolly. I'm not too familiar with AM but I bet it auto-signs APKs buy re-injecting the META-INF (that's the signature) ......but whenever the AndroidManifest is edited u need a new META-INF (signature). So if there's an option to NOT inject the META-INF while building, then choose that, then sign w test keys .....otherwise, try deleting the META-INF, then sign w

Test Keys.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
"It" not "Iraq"

Gay-ass xda app won't let me edit posts
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Looks like the languages don't match! Is that from mine? R u asking me if mine works? I can't figure out if ur 2nd paragraph/sentence is a question or a statement, lol .....but i'd say ur gonna have to fix all .9s the hard way;D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
no yours loaded fine thanks for that but It just wasnt working with the sense 3.5 files resources are a little different I guess. that file from the log is straight from rcmix rom sense 3.5 I also tried com.htc.resources from virtuous unity new beta sense 3.5 rom just to see what it would do and same exact error message. and I also don't get why its telling me it cant' find c:/apk_manager/place-app-here-for-modding I know I got my path right. Man this thing is frustrating me.lol I'm fixing to break out my old system and get back to work.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
I hated APK Mgr. Always seemed real buggy to me ....least on Linux
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
If u wanna mod their resources, u should also install both their frameworks to APKtool! If u have two different ones the languages, etc... won't match

...but then again, I haven't checked out 3.5 yet, so who knows;)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
yeah I put in both framework-res and com.htc.resources. Oh well it is language error in rom files I just installed both framework files on my old system to see if thew would load and samething:(
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] cbrown245:
Thankyou CleveRuse. I already had the apk tool and decompiled that way but it wasn't in there . Turns out when I was decompiling the systemUI there were errors and it was not decompiling the entire apk. So I changed roms and it now works great.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Oh well ...tomorrow then. Try listing on the APKmgr site too. When u figure it out ...let us know. I actually nvr seen those last errors that i recall, but id def fix those patches first.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Great, glad to hear it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Those errors can come form several things:

Android SDK must be on API 13 or above to decompiled Sense 3.5(API 14 is out right now)

your aapt.exe file is an old one. I dont know what Apk Manager usess, but if there is a aapt.exe in Apk manager folder or in Apktool Folder, get the latest copy from the Android SDK folder and copy it over into those directories..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Man I didn't even consider skd needing updating. I will try this when I get home and see if it fixes things. Thanks for the tip.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
LOL, that's why he's the master:D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
yeah I guess so.lol I dont Know why I never thought of that.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] romified:
If you have trouble editing and recompiling the Manifest file (like I did), what worked for me was to go into /res/values/styles.xml and point theme to Theme.Wallpaper as a parent and now my background in settings is the wallpaper. Did not have to touch the Manifest file this way.

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
No problem... Done the same thing before..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
That is correct, alwasy more ways than one to skin this android cat. LOL
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Good idea.

U prolly just needed to re-sign the APK (I didn't think to do that either. Thnx gun) ....but like u n gun said, there's usually many ways to accomplish the same result
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
hey If I just want to set my wallpaper as background in google search how do I do this? not true transparency, just wallpaper
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Option#1

-decompile Settings.apk and edit line #52 of AndroidManifest.xml. Change it from:

52) <application android:theme="@style/Theme"......

to:

52) <application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"......

After u save and recompile, make sure u sign it with test keys! Do not re-inject the META-INF! make a new one by signing the apk with test keys.

Option #2

Go to /res/values/, find the style "Theme", and change the parent style to:

"Theme.Wallpaper"

sorry, I can't check this one right now. This ones easier ...but they r both super simple. The first one just needs to be resigned like a user app and u won't have any problems! Just bam-bam, DONE!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
well I got settings transparent already by changing style theme to theme.wallpaper thinking this would do google search but it stayed the same. so I need to edit the manifest as well?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
OH YEAH, sorry. I wrote the wrong thing ....but yeah, same exact thing
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
so I need to change this: <activity android:theme="@style/Theme.QuickSearchBox" android:label="@string/app_name"

to android:theme="@style/theme.wallpaper" ?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
No, "@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"

....cuz that style is in framework-res.apk

'@android' means look in 'framework-res', and the rest means look to the style 'Theme.Wallpaper"

...and remember, its case-sensitive!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
oh ok i get you now. I didnt change any code in framework let me do that and get back to you. thanks for your help.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
U don't need to touch framework! It's already there. ....unless u actually wanna use a custom bg. In that case u must add a new style, and a custom PNG if u want to use an image instead of rgb.

Remember, "Theme.Wallpaper" is the same style ur homescreen uses, so of coarse it already exits ...no wut I mean?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
ok I have settings transparent(set to @style/theme.wallpaper) went into framework-res.apk and added this style:

style name="Theme.rayford85" parent="@style/Theme.Translucent"> <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/rayford85</item>

recompiled with no errors. I set my image in framework(rayford85) to about 50%transparency, flash my mod and nothing changed google search is still white. What am I missing.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Hmmm, ok. First off, did u install ur new framework-res into APK mgr (or wutever utility) before u built ur GoogleSearch?

Also, did u sign ur GoogleSearch after modding the manifest?

Did u try re-decompiling BOTH APKs after compiling them? U should pull those two APKs u just pushed from ur device to check that all ur edits stuck, and that they r the correct edits.

...also, one time I accidentally pushed a copy of Settings.apk to

/system/framework/ ...then, later when i made some adjustments to Settings and pushed it to the proper dir, none of my mods were showing cuz android was using the APK I had in /framework instead of /app ....so make sure everything is in its proper location!

Lemme know ...I only have one more thought -i hope that's not the problem, lol ...try those ideas first;)

PS: we'll show this mofo who's boss! Ure lucky I've made just about every mistake someone could possibly make, lol!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Oh, and one more thing b4 my last resort .....I'm not sure bout the tool ure using, but Android-Utility has a sort of memory, and sometimes that "memory" gets kinda screwed up and tends to build the same old apk over n over again, as if it doesn't 'see' the new mods (even if u rename the apk -it still wants to build the original apk) So I found that backing up the application/Utility folder (or just some of the important files w/in), and then doing a fresh installation, then putting the important files from the backup back into the newly installed application is the only "sure-fire" way to correct the problem! There may be a btr solution, but that's wut i do that works.

Like I said, not sure if that applies to ur tool, but its definitely an issue w/ AU ....I imagine it happens with other utilities too, since they all use the same build tools (aapt, brut.all, apktool, etc....)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
I'm using the new version of apkmanager ( called multiapk tool) and it rocks I will double check my edits tomorrow. Got work in 5 hours gotta get some sleep.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Also guys, if u wanna use ur homescreen wallpaper as ur bg in an application, but u want it to appear as "true transparency" ....but w/out actually being able to see background images ....like this:

...u do that exactly the same way as in "true trans", only instead of ur custom style u added to framework using "Theme.Translucent" as Parent, u use "Theme.Wallpaper" -keep everything else the same (this is assuming that the PNG u use is transparent, cuz that PNG will be wuts over top of ur wallpaper) ....this will give the allusion of trans w/out those sometimes annoying bg images cluttering up ur screen .....I call this effect

"faux transparency":) All it does is allow u to use ur wp and ur custom trans PNG at the same time as bg.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
That's exactly what I'm trying to achive thanks.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
No problem. .its a nifty little trick, huh!

Edit: oh yeah, roscoenr taught me that one:)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Yeah that's pretty nice. Gonna do it for sure in our theme. Our rom got updated today so back to work on it.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TheBeardedMann:
Ok, I'm trying to do the pulldown animation, and I just can't. I know I'm missing one step. I was able to do it on my Incredible using the .zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1309130 and then using APKManager to decomplie the .apk so I can edit the xml to the number of .pngs in my animation and then recompiling and signing. So, I just don't quite know what is going wrong with this. I can't decompile the .apk so I can edit the .xml. I attached the SystemUI.apk it's from GingerCutee v2.1......it's my wife's Thunderbolt. Only thing I did was add the 40 .pngs of the pulldown animation that I want, to the drawable-hdpi folder. Other than that, it's the SystemUI.apk straight from the GingerCutee v2.1 flashable .zip.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
If ur receiving any errors, u should post em .....but just off the top of my head, its most likely from bad patches (....Cuz its always bad patches, lol)

Try fixin those .9.pngs -but, w/out info, there's no way to know!

(edit: I'm a dummy:D. Sorry, I didn't see u attached the APK. So u did supply info (all the info, lol)!

Well my OS is under repair, so i can't help w that ....but I'm still placing my money on bad .9's -of coarse I'm broke;) (approx. 99% of all decomp errors r from bad 9's -cuz most people aren't mindful of them, and just toss them in the archive with broken/undefined patches)

*NOTE: If the error log doesn't specify an error, I'd pull ALL .9.png's and run them thru APKmanager's '9png' tool. That should surely show u wut needs fixed -if u need help with the patches (borders), just PM me. I'm always glad to help!

**EDIT: Did u add anything to the APK (like 9pngs) b4 u tried to decomp?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
I am sure you did these things but you didnt say.

1. The TB uses a different framework-res, SystemUi so did you load those?

apktool if framework-res.apk

apktool if systemui.apk

2. That must be done to be able to decompile TB vs the Inc you already did.

3. Did you update Android sdk to the correct version for TB ROMs vs the Inc?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Knew I was forgetting some stuff, lol! I always forget bout those two things cuz I don't need to do them often:)

...anyone else seeing SNOW in OCTOBER? -GO AWAY!!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] TheBeardedMann:
Nevermind. I found out the problem. There was a bad ground between the mouse and chair. Go figure.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] daman215:
hi guys i have a couple ?

1. is it possible to replace quicksettings label with a icon

2. how to change the labels name notifications to what ever you want
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
What do you mean? The actual Tab? I am not gettign what you are wanting. Maybe post a screenie..

Which label names...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] daman215:
On the drop down notification where it says quicksettings can i replace that word with a icon, and like on your pic in the op how do i change the carrier name to what i want

How do i edit the xmls to show a icon instead of the word quicksettings
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
Tryign to undersand what you want, cuz you are saying quicksettings for both issues.. or is it just the same thing?

However, the Quicksettings tab's are PNG's as is, so if you put the word you wanted on there it would work, then in the xml remove the text from being put there, so in an enscense yes you can do it. I have not done it myself.

You sure you want an icon vs a png to be displayed? cuz it's really one of the same.. However if you look at the status_bar.xml and Status_bar_epanded.xml in SystemUi/layout you can see the use of Icons..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] itsDollar:
Ignore. I posted in the wrong thread.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] cbrown245:
Ok guys can you put out a tutorial on how to remap the drop down.

I have the Samsung charge and it has the old froyo style dropdown with the quick settings at the top is it possible to move them to the bottom? I am a total nood , but i have been playing with editing xmls and am about to try the smali but need some help with this. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rel500:
Anybody know what xml controls the volume on sense 3.5?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fkfmfz:
Rel500 try the Progress horizontal XML in framework.apk
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rel500:
I'll try that. Ill report back. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
I dont think that it's there anymore. Same change I have dotn on other Themes, but Sense 3.5 that change doesnt appear to work.. Still tryign to track it down myself..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Adrioid:
I'm looking for that as well. Progress horizontal will change the progress bar for media. :-)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
pretty sure its common_progress_full.9 inside com.htc resources for sense 3.5:D

progress_horizontal.xml from what i've found will control your download progress color for stuff like titanium backup batch restore or market downloads. Not the volume tab color:D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] cbrown245:
How can I change the text in popup menus , like copy , rename , permissions . Also like the popup when you are shutting the phone down . My background is black and the text is too so you cant see anything . This has probably been asked and answered but when I do a search it takes me to rom threads . Thanks

EDIT

***** Nevermind I decided to instead change the color of the popup that matches the theme which looks better then I think the text color would have looked *************
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CleveRuse:
Yeah, that's sounds right. I've changed it and its not an xml. It's a .9.png I believe also.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rayford85:
Ok so you made the jump to sense 3.5 huh? I love it. If you need any help on it let me know. I even got a way to theme fusion :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] c_live_lee:

Text color issue in quick setting - Sense 3.5

Hi all, I'm trying to mod Virtuous Affinity 1.48.0, but I'm in trouble with quick settings dropdown menu. I've changed the background color and text color to fit text visible, but first item of quick settings menu, the connection status, still remains with black text, as you can see attached images:

Could somebody explain how to change that text to white?

Thanks in advance!! ;)

It's all OK, problem solved thanks to Rayford!! ;)

Hey guys I have a question about changing the font color in the status bar when you pull it down at the bottom where it says notifications and quick settings the two taps at the bottom . How do I change the font color there. And what are the images names that I need to look for I want the tabs black with white writing.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Gunthermic:
The tabs are

Status_bar_tab_on.9.png and status_bar_tab_off.9.png
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
Anyone know where i can find the colour settings for the text on the notification page?

It's driving me mad!

See attached.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] MarylandCookie:
You will find the colour settings for these two images in status_bar_tracking.xml

Here is the code:

Why did you placed this in THunderbolt themes?!

THis is the most awesome guide I've ever seen, place it in Android THemes!!

Huge thanks for this guide, I've been searching a long while for this as most of the themers would not like to help me :(

a ton
