Got ONE color code I can't figure out to finish my theme. Any help would be so very appreciated :)

Date on default lockscreen. I don't won't to code a whole ls manifest when I've already themed all the default lock images in the framework-res. Also, since sms previews and counts are busted for custom miui ls's on my last version of MIUI (1.11.25), I really would like to keep it default.

So, there is no value for the date that I could find in the framework-res Colors sheet. I found this in the lockscreen xml's:

<TextView android:textSize="11.0sp" android:textColor="#a5ffffff" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:id="@id/current_date" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="3.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#48000000" android:shadowDx="0.0" android:shadowDy="1.0" android:shadowRadius="2.0" />

So I tried adding the following (one at a time...I feel like an idiot, but this is how new to theming I am):

<item type="color" name="current_date_text_color">@ff000000</item>

<item type="color" name="current_date_text_color">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="text" name="current_date_text_color">#ff000000</item>

<item type="text" name="current_date_text_color">#ff000000</item>

<item type="color" name="current_date_text">@ff000000</item>

<item type="color" name="current_date_text">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="text" name="current_date_text">#ff000000</item>

<item type="text" name="current_date">#ff000000</item>

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

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

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

<item type="text" name="current_date_text_color">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="text" name="current_date_text">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="color" name="current_date">#ff000000</item>

<color name="current_date_text">@android:color/black</color>

Am I just not seeing the forest through the trees, or do I want something that's not gonna happen? Thanks in advance even for a hint lol
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the default lockscreen is probably pulling the date text color from a generic color in that framework-res colors xml.....Probably a global change, something like "focused text bright inversed" or some such line. Soooo, yes you can probably change it that way however it may have unintended consequences elsewhere in the rom......Sorry I'm not of more help here I am a custom lockscreen junkie so, I haven't kept the default long enough to be able to tell you for sure. BTW, glad you got your desk clock figured out.
[HTC EVO 3D] melissapugs:
Thanks for your help. I think you're right. Rather than torture myself further, I looked through other themes for guidance (in this case, Subtropical Ecology). I threw all the default themed images into a 'lockscreen' archive (no manifest) and VOILA! The date disappears. Good riddance, I was sick of looking at it lol. Also fixed lack of charging animation, which I didn't even realize was an issue. I will link my theme in my sig when I put it up later today :)
[HTC EVO 3D] OKors:
Great guide and good information in this thread!

I need some help modifying some text in an existing MIUI theme.

There’s a couple screens where the text in the selection wheel is black on black and another screen where the text is light grey on white (very non contrasting). More specifically this exists in the calendar New Event screen; the selector for time and date is black on black. If I tap the time and date as if to edit it, the color changes but other than that it’s very difficult to read under real-world conditions.

All I want to do is tweak the color of this font. If someone could tell me where that font/color would be located (folder, xml tag, etc) it would save lots of time and confusion.
[HTC EVO 3D] melissapugs:
Your first screen is a conflict between button color as you drew it in the various nine patch images and the button text, defined in the framework-res theme values. You'll need to change one or the other (unless there is a separate value for button text in the calendar colors definable, which I very much doubt). The second screen, I think the text is a color in the contacts theme values. I know the image is definable in that folder (image behind names). Download my royal chrome theme from my sig and see if that helps you find the values you're looking for.

Edit: it occurs to me that the keyboard in your screen is not default GB MIUI. Are you ICS version? If so, my attempt at help might very well be invalid :(
[HTC EVO 3D] OKors:
The keyboard is Swiftkey (paid version). I have both GB and ICS keyboards on my phone but I prefer Swiftkey still.

Just so happens the MIUI theme I'm using and Swiftkey both have a Dark and Orange theme. So they happen to match.

BTW, thank you for the post. Very appreciated!

Oh, also... not sure it it matters (should've made this clear from the beginning) but I'm running a HTC Sensation 4G.

I just did a XDA search for help with MIUI theme edits and this thread came of interest...
[HTC EVO 3D] melissapugs:
Ah, I see. What I wrote should help you for any MIUI Gingerbread ROM. Here's another theming thread that could prove helpful. For lots of stuff, I learned mostly through trial and error and ripping apart other themes to find my way. Good luck :D

Anyone know how to make mtz files? Lol. Serious question. Joey is trying to make mtz files for his icons.

I'm Motorola Xoomin on you!
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
The easiest way is to make them into a zip file and change the .zip extension to .mtz. :)

Inside your mtz file you'll need, the minimum, a description.xml and icons(file). A preview folder is also a good idea. The icon(file) is your icons folder made into a zip then you remove the .zip extension so that there is no extension at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Thanks.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
here's my guesses: the text color is part of the ROM in both instances, and the theme.mtz you're running changed the backgrounds? >> (the white bg behind contacts, and the black background behind calendar infos) ... IF that's correct, I would guess your text changes would be in either the calendar.apk/res/values/color or possibly framework-res.apk/res/values/color. Try there? This thread is a good one, but there's another theme help thread linked in my sig where some xml guru's hang out. If you run into issues try there next.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

also (fyi) for miui icons to "work" the pngs have to be named the package name, not the app name. i.e.)com.android.music.apk and NOT music. Dunno if you knew that (or if Joey did) so just letting you know. I learned a lot extracting on of vanessa's icon mtzs, then adding the .zip extension to the "icons" file, extracting that, and looking at the .png titles. Good luck :)
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Haha...I forgot to mention that very important tidbit. :D

Lol...ok. Perhaps that info will help someone else then. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Alright so I decided to learn how to theme MIUI today, and I'm having a problem with SystemUI. I made the correct edits to the pngs I want and when I apply the theme, nothing changes. The app icons I put in work fine but I can't get this to work. I'm thinking something is wrong with my structure? I attached screenshots of how I have my com.android.systemUI file setup and was hoping someone could help. It's pretty fun and easy when you get the hang of it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Did you remember to put a description.xml in your file?
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Yeah like this??
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Yes, also try making your com.android.systemui look like attached. Take the zip or rar extension off and see if the theme applies.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Thanks! I had saved it with no file extension but for some reason it was still a zip. Got it working :)
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
I made this for the new EI22 Roms . The files I used were from RandomRom 's new EI22 rom. It might work on other EI22 roms not sure. You also need to be on purple clockwork mod. Enjoy

Download link--http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12399492/RandomRom_EI22_Battery_Percent_Mod.zip

Updated battery percentage stays blue until battery level is at 14 percent. Also drop down menu is named Cool Blue.

Doesn't work with extended power menu.

[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
It wouldn't flash properly. It said installation aborted. I think you added a folder in the zip that messes it up. Here is your mods in a working zip. It works on ERA Legendary too BTW. Thanks.

Do you think you can make me one with the signal bars back to white? Everything else looks great!
[Epic 4G Themes] chrishighs:
Checking it out now. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
I have never tried that . I will look into it. Are you talking about the wi-fi or cell signal?
[Epic 4G Themes] myaepic1:
Your zip worked well. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
The cell signal bars if you can...thanks. And feel free to substitue the zip I posted into your OP.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

You are welcome.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
I got it to work with black to white. I don't think that you will like it as it is hard to see , because of the black of the screen. Do you have another preference? I am going to make one for me with shades of red . Dark red to lighter red with more signal.

[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
Can you put the bars back to all white all the time? I like the blue in everything else though. Thanks. You can add in your OP that it works well in Legendary as well. I got a few others to try it there.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
So are you asking to see all white bars that show full signal all the time? If that is what you want sure I can do that. Or do you just want white bars for signal strength. Let me know i'll hook you up.
[Epic 4G Themes] mis3:
I like the battery meter and signal bars in blue as they are, and the match the power menu. The only thing is that the status bar menu items are in green, which doesn't really match. Is there an easy way to theme those as well in the same blue?
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
Just back to stock white bars whether it is one bar or 6. It is harder for my old eyes to see the blue...lol, so a non-changing stock white bars for signal and everything else is perfect. Thanks...awesome work getting this out in the 1st days of EI22.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
Here is the white signal bars. Sorry I misunderstood your original request.

I used the acs recovery and it worked just fine. Good job btw the way but why was it noted that purple cw had to be used?

Sooooo...how are you at editing mms.apk?
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
I can give it a shot what is it that you want done?
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
If possible to change the messaging bubbles to a purple and light purple rather than Blue and yellow. I can do the icons as purple but the bubbles need some xml changes I believe.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
Do you have a example ? The bubbles within the messaging application on my rom are gray and blue. I think bubbles are the message from person 1 or person 2. Or are you talking about the icon in the status bar.
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
That is exactly it but stock is yellow and blue. Blue being from you and yellow from other person. So would like it to be purple from you and light purple from other person. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] seru12:
Me too :( I like the battery mod, but if I could get my animations back that would be nice.

Also, would you be willing to make this in green or fuschia? pretty please..

What do you mean? It don't read right for an extended battery? Did you wipe battery stats and recalibrate your battery?
[Epic 4G Themes] ohiostater86:
Thank you very much, looks nice. Any chance you can make the signal bars light to dark blue to match the circle?

Install Aborted

I got an 'install aborted' when attempting to flash. I'm running acs_ics v4, updated to Samurai gen 1.0.3. I don't have purple cwm, but read here that this mod works with regular cwm. Is it because I'm running acs_ics?
[Epic 4G Themes] ohiostater86:
Light to dark blue

Light to dark would be nice if it is not a problem. Also someone mentioned the circle color, can it be left blue all the time?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Themes] Dsparil:
there is a mod that gives me extra options when rebooting my phone. For example power off button includes airplane mode, etc. This, mod adds recovery menu and download mode mode.

Basically I can just reboot into cwm without the 3 finger salute.
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtimeweb:
Its not ICS...I'm on it too, same setup as you with Samuri...but I have purple. been a while but I think purple was an auto install from my PC.

Thanks for the mod! Id like all blue all the time too...on the battery..Im using the white signal bars, and batt is green.

Big improvement on ICS for me nonetheless! Thanks for sharing.
[Epic 4G Themes] kgilby:
Thanks, maybe I'll try it once more and just see what happens.

EDIT: Went back and downloaded the 'white signal bars' version, from post #14 here (I can't link yet, not enough posts), and it worked fine. I notice it changed the unlock and sound slider configuration, as well as the text on the 'power off' screen. Very nice, and now these old eyes can read the percentage!
[Epic 4G Themes] bigtex06:
Theme is now named Cool Blue in the status bar. The battery percent is as you suggested turns red at 14 percent. Re-download and enjoy.

Will this work on EL30 and is it just the signal bars?

It may but it may cause problems. There were changes in the systemui and framework in EL30. Try at your own risk kind of thing.
[Epic 4G Themes] iamyourtech:
I tried it , but this includes alot of other stuff other than the green signal bars. i'm looking for just green signal bars and have searched and searched if anyone has a link to lead me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it does. And Flashback 10.1 has been working very well for me as well!
[G Tablet General] aasoror:
Same here, that said I have been having a problem after installing this ROM with HD flash videos.

Previously (on Gtab comb) running HD flash from adobe showcase would cause the GTab to overheat and lock about 20~50 seconds into the file, now running any HD-flash file from the showcase while doesn't kill the tab but kills playback about 5 seconds into playback.

Is that expected ?

With cm7 it works that way. I am not sure on stock as I wasn't on it long. Have you tried to lightly press on the individual notification and slide it to the side? At least that is how I have done it on cm7. Let us know if it works in stock.

Sent from My KickAss CM7 Captivate
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Unless you're running CM7, you can't...AFAIK, it doesn't work on unNamed ROM (which is what I've installed on my OGSGSII) but I can't tell you if any of the other devs have it built into their kernel. This is a feature that I really like in CM 7.1.0 that I am running on my Nook Color though.

Hopefully, that's pointed you in the right direction at least.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
So I love CM7, and was using it until recently when I loaded stock back onto it (it's just not a complete phone without the fingerprint scanner/webtop.)

I put on ADW which is the stock dock for CM7. However it's restricted me to 5 screens (boo).

Is there anything else I can do to get that Cyanogen feel without actually loading on Cyanogen again and losing those aforementioned features?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
ADW Ex allows you to change the number of screens?

also, the Alien skin is pretty AOSP looking. compared to some of the others at least, it reminds me of Androidian that comes with CM7.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
Thanks, although I was hoping not to spend any cash since as soon as CM7 gets those features I'm dumping this for that ROM.

I was also looking for other apps that could mimic some of the functionality, or am I out of luck on that?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
well, CM7 got the fingerprint scanner updated in a test build last night. if that's not enough to bring you over, then i'm guessing you'll not see CM7 again for a long time.

[Acer Iconia A500] ray1234:
For A500, is there any way to turn off the MTP mode and just get A500 to act as an USB drive (i.e. USB mass storage)?

For copying large files, Acer Sync's speed is ok, but I copy offline newspapers for viewing on A500, and that involves thousands of small files. MTP's speed for copying large number of small files is much slower than USB drive. For example, I can copy a whole newspaper to a USB thumbdrive in 3 minutes, while using MTP mode it takes 15 minutes.
[Acer Iconia A500] woodsonmh:
I'm new with the Acer, and I don't have an answer to your question, but I wondered about using a thumb drive. Needs to be formatted to fat 32. Just use the thumb drive like you would the micro sd card. 4 gig thumb drives are pretty cheap.

Woody
[Acer Iconia A500] ray1234:
Woody, I think you misunderstood my question, my question is not about using a thumb drive on A500... I would like the A500 to behave like a usb thumb drive when plugged in the micro USB cable to a PC's USB port.

The other annoying thing I forgot to mention about Acer Sync is that it is single task when copying files. You can only copy one file at a time, you try to copy another file before the first one is finished and it'll tell you the file system is busy...
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
If you're running 3.2 when you plug your tab into your PC your tab should pop right up on your PCs screen giving you two drives to choose from. External or internal SD card.. Drag and drop. Never heard of anyone using Acer Sync to copy files before.?!?:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] ray1234:
Are you using A500? I know other tabs are like that, which is the normal usb drive mode. A500 isnt like that, it'll recognise as a A500 tab in win7, not a drive, and copying files is via this special protocol, not like a usb drive.
