[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I'm messing with framework-res.apk to apply some mods, actually the one to change button text color, I modded styles.xml, created "primary_text_light_holo.xml" in res/color folder (I guessed it has to be there) as you can see in screenshot nr1, but after compiling it, it's not included in file, as you can see in screenshot nr2.

Any tip?

good job

Can anybody tell be how to change the text color of power menu.plz
[Android Themes] aayushARM:
Just Awesome!!!

What else I can say about this man!! This guide is just AWESOME!!! :D:DThat thanks button doesn't satisfy me!! :D:D

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ZduneX!!! You're great!!:D:D

Did you read this??--

Now, powermenu is nothing but a popup as above. Just follow the steps and in

<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#ff000000</item>

Apply any color you want, according to the colour of the background........

If you powermenu is complex, i.e. with submenus like reboot in recovery, etc., those are too the popups. Follow fist post again and find your popup type and again follow the steps..........

Hope it helps.........;)

Is any way to change color of powermenu background only?
[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
Does anyone know what needs to be changed to get a custom background to show up as the market background?? I have themed framework-res to display a custom background image (within styles.xml at both 'theme' and 'theme.holo'. I was able to get my background to show up in contacts by simply referencing theme.holo everywhere it said theme.devicedefault in the contacts.apk styles.xml. However, I can't tell with any certainty (or whether its even possible) to do this for the market. I've tried making a bunch of stuff within the colors.xml transparent but no luck yet... Thanks!!
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
It's Theme.Light and Theme.Light.Holo, but you might regret it, the other day I tried to change it and all I got was lots of missing stuff, but it was long time ago when I was working on Windows and Windows is the worst OS to compile themes, so wish ya luck.
[Android Themes] VegasEvo4G:
Thanks for the quick reply! Do you happen to know what specifically I would need to replace in order to activate those? I would think it would need to be theme.holo since that is where my background comes into play within my framework. (The apk I'm working with is already inverted...)

Looking through styles.xml in the market, I keep seeing 'finsky.theme'. Any idea what that is??
[Android Themes] DorianX:
Hey there! I'm looking for help to find which xml controls a text color on contacts.apk on this part:

When click on Home pop up a window:

I want that text white, I'm pretty sure it's a xml in contacts.apk, because I modify two to change the color on this window:

And I don't think it is in framework-res.apk because on other pop up windows have the right color:

I really would appreciate your help, thanks!
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@DorianX let me know when you find out, am looking for this place for months.. with no luck

I already checked whole phone.apk and contacts.apk, but i was using theme manager, so maybe it was not themeable via theme engine from cm7.

It's text large, I double checked all large values and they were white..

That's what I DON'T want to do... I'm thinking that is a xml in framework-res.apk\res\layout cuz I change a few ones in that folder to get white text on some popups windows and I found another pop up window with black text... look:

[Android Themes] zelendel:
Welcome to my world. The problem is that 3rd party apps use their own built in color code and its not called from the android system. Now way around it short of modding the apk. Wish they would stop doing it and use the default colors but noooo lol
[Android Themes] DorianX:
But contacts.apk and email.apk are part of the system... not 3rd party apps
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
I find exect solutions change textappearance.large color to white ie ffffffff.100% working:)
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
@zdunex25.problem is solved by changing item color under the Textappearance.Large.
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
No need to change textcolorprimaryinverse.just change textappearance.large color.
[Android Themes] zelendel:
Ok sorry thought that was a 3rd party apk. You will need to edit those apks as they may be defined in the apk and not refering to framework
[Android Themes] DorianX:
could you be more specific? please

what item color?
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
for CM7 Theme Edit styles.xml

<style name="TextAppearance.Large"

parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large">

<item name="android:textSize">18.0sp</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>

</style>

for editing framework-res.apk change this in styles.xml

<style name="TextAppearance.Large" parent="@style/TextAppearance">

<item name="textSize">18.0sp</item>

<item name="textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="textColor">#ffffffff</item>

</style>
[Android Themes] DorianX:
Ok thank you so much I will try this, I suppose this is in framework-res.apk\res\values\styles.xml
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
Yes you are right.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@vikasb32 why when TextAppearance.Large is White by default, only Inverse is Black

no problems with white on white after this?? asking cause I do not use cm7 and am pretty sure I tried this value before
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
By default Item color in textappearance.large is refer to -"textcolorprimary" which is white but changing it to white ie #fffffff problem is solve.i my using this and no problem of white text on white background yet.
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
Deleted
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
Not so sure:

it's white by default for me
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
I know it white by default but changing the item color in textappearance.large to white ie #ffffffff is work for me.you can check its just take 2-3 min.
[Android Themes] robertips:
Thanks! Great guide!
[Android Themes] Habarug:
I know this is kind of off-topic, but as questions about textcolors and stuff already has been asked here recently, i thought I would try my luck.

I've got these questions (see secreenies as well):

1. What is the main textcolor thingy in the manage applications settings

2. What is the grey background in the email app?

3. I know I can change the textcolor on the loading popups by changing the dim_foreground_dark colors, but is it possible to edit the textcolors on these loading popups only, without affecting the other secondary colors thingies?
[Android Themes] DorianX:
I found some apps that need the default textappearance.large color

XDA doesn't look too bad but in facebook you can't see anything but not a big deal is located in settings
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@Habarug do some read :) http://rachelm920.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

@DorianX i thought so, but imo it's still better to have black text only in phone (number type) than messing up many light apps

Oh, wow. That was loads :P thanks ;)

[Android Themes] vikasb32:
@zudnex25.i found the solutions of tapatalk.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@vikasb32 well then would be nice if you could share with us
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
Go to styles.xml and go to <style> name="bluelightlistview" parent="@android:/style/widget.listview">

delete following line or change color to transparent ie 00000000

<item name="android:windowbackground">@color/app_background_yellow</item>
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
For changing text color of following.go to layout and open forummenuitem.xml and change android:textcolor="#ff000000" to ffffffff.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@vikasb32 I see you mean edits over app, but I would need to do changes that are supported through theme chooser :/
[Android Themes] vikasb32:
for theme chooser :

1.go to xml folder of your theme and create a file "com_quoord_tapatalkpro_activity.xml" and open that file paste the below code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resource-redirections>

<item name="style/BlueLightListView">@style/tapatalkBlueLightListView</item>

<item name="layout/forummenuitem">@layout/forummenuitem</item>

</resource-redirections>

2.open redirections.xml and paste this

<package-redirections android:name="com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity" android:resource="@xml/com_quoord_tapatalkpro_activity" android:minSdkVersion="7" />

3.now open your styles.xml and paste

<style name="tapatalkBlueLightListView" parent="@android:style/Widget.ListView">

<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/transparent</item>

<item name="android:listSelector">@drawable/listview_background</item>

<item name="android:cacheColorHint">@color/app_background_yellow</item>

<item name="android:divider">@drawable/fixed_divider_horizontal_bright</item>

<item name="android:dividerHeight">1.0px</item>

</style>

4.create a file "drawables.xml" in your value folder.open drawables.xml and paste this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<item type="drawable" name="list_normal">#fffffaec</item>

<item type="drawable" name="list_active">#fffff0af</item>

</resources>

5.create a folder layout and create a black file forummenuitem.xml in layout folder.

6.decompile tapatalk and copy "listview_background.xml" and "fixed_divider_horizontal_bright.png" and paste in your drawable folder in your theme folder.

7.compile your theme after compile open your theme in winrar and go to "layout" folder and delete "forummenuitem.xml" and add "forummenuitem.xml" i attached.

8.sigh apk 100% working tested.

sorry for my english
[Android Themes] Gspin96:
Hello. I'm trying to make transparent settings in a cm7 theme chooser theme (modding the one called Orion) so that it shows the homescreen's wallpaper.

In the first post, you wrote these lines:

<style name="Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/background_own</item>
<item name="android:windowShoandwWallpaper">true</item>
</style>

But what should i put in place of background_own? I tried making a 1x1px image with 50% transparency, tried to set it to "@color/semitransparent" (which is set to #80000000 in colors.xml) and i also tried to set cacheColorHint to #00000000 or to remove the entry, all without success. There's always black background.

Here i attach styles.xml and colors.xml (renamed to .txt to attach them here) if useful.
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Have you put ShoandwWallpaper in there, or is it only misspelled here? cause that clearly is wrong :P If that's not the case I can say that I have got it working with semitrans png...

Edit: I think I know where you may have failed. In the XML folder you have to add this line to the android.xml:

<item name="style/Theme">@style/Theme</item>
[Android Themes] Gspin96:
ShoandWalpaper is only misspelled here (it's correct in the styles.xml).

It was the line "<item name="style/Theme">@style/Theme</item>" which was missing in android.xml. Now it works, and i used @color/semitransparent for "bacground_own". Thanks a lot =)

@ZduneX25: please add this to the first post.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@Gspin96 why should i? it's obvious you were missing this line in android.xml

guide is fine, but everyone that wanna add my tips to cm7 theme has to remember that each framework change has to be mention in android.xml

D:\Cell Phone\Android\1 Tools\1 Apk Multi-Tool\other\..\projects\myICS_V2.1.apk\res\layout\time_picker.xml:4: error: Error: Resource is not public. (at 'id' with value '@android:id/hour').

Attached is my modified timepicker.xml. You will notice I changed "@:id" to "@android:id"

It compiles if I don't change "@:id" to "@android:id" but then apps force close when I try to use the timepicker.
[Android Themes] creeve4:
I applied all of your tips, but none provide a fix for the secondary text on the power menu:
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@creeve4 i didn't write how to change power menu description color, cause in this thread am sharing my own work and the color you are looking for has been found long time ago (not by me)
[Android Themes] creeve4:
Sorry. Can you point me in the right direction?

Any idea on the time picker?
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Have you created the id's yourself? If yes where have you put them? @android uses values from framework so if the id's aren't there you get the not public error (I think...) if you've put them in timepicker ids and are getting fc's using @id I'm not sure...you'll have to wait for the experts.
[Android Themes] creeve4:
I did not create the ids. I copied the timepicker.xml from my decompiled framework-res and added the "@android:id" in place of "@id" hoping they would redirect properly.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
I hope we're not derailing this thread discussing this...if we are, sorry ZduneX25 ;)

Someone correct me if i'm wrong please as I don't want to pass on duff info...just sharing my *very limited* understanding so far.

Using @id try adding lines in values/ids of your myICS_V2.1.apk for the hour/minute/amPm (add them to the end). I'm not saying that will work but without them it definitely won't.

Regarding @android:id if you have a look in your sdk e.g android-sdk/platforms/android-15/data/res/values/ids you'll notice that there are no entries there for hour/minute/amPm...these are public resources that are called upon when using @android, hence the error that they're not public, and why framework-res isn't using @android.

Hope that makes sense, let us know how you get on with it :)
[Android Themes] creeve4:
Any ideas for the Gmail labels popup:

When you scroll it does this:

I've played around with the Gmail.apk, but haven't found a solution yet.
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@creeve4 do not look for regular staff if it comes about gapps, gmail is using lots of custom colors itself (not many redirections of framework)

Am using android 4.0.4, so there is totally different gmail I cannot help from this place maybe someone else will.

For the flipfont dialog you should edit the settings.

Use baksmali to take the smalis out and then go to com/android/settings/flipfont and open the fontlistadapter.smali.

Find this line:

const/high16 v6, -0x100

and replace with this for white color:

const v6, -0x1

Okay, here it is. In the styles.xml you'll find some lines (?) called ICSandwich, ICSandwich.Black etc. Under the line of the version of the theme you are using, you'll find the line <item name="android:windowTitleSize">50.0dip</item>. I changed that to 50dip.

Then I added this thingy:

<style name="TextAppearance.WindowTitle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">21.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
</style>

Since the style wasn't allready there. Lastly I added this line to android.xml

<item name="style/TextAppearance.WindowTitle">@style/TextAppearance.WindowTitle</item>

To redirect the last style I added. Hope it works for you ;) Decompile my apk to see how I did it

@Habarug the problem of @DeskayZ is that he has ldpi device.. first of all use sparepart to make your font smaller then resize necessary images, you have to change windowtitlesize and textsize over xmls as well

how to fix it in AChep's theme? :D
[Android Themes] ZduneX25:
@DeskayZ as far as i know @AChep compiles over windows and that is main problem, I compile over linux working on source (not using apktool) that is why my themes are universal

there are 3 ways for you

a) tell Achep to rewrite his theme from scratch (over linux)

b) buy full version of my theme it's 1$ only

c) new phone hdpi or mdpi
