Similarly is there a way to change the appdrawer background?????i m on cm9
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bala_gamer:
no nanba, it is dependent on the launchers.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Works on Samsung Stock Launcher too!

Got it working.

The file you need to replace in order to change the settings background is tw_background_holo_dark. Follow the same instructions and replace this file instead. Replaceing background_holo_dark merely replaces the dark background screen that's standard during apk installations and apps that don't require a background.

I'm running Omega 8.1.

If you want to run it through adb though, you have to run Insecure_adb first. Didn't work for me otherwise!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Quick Question

While trying to apply the second one as well, I was unable to find Contacts.apk

All I could find was SecContacts.apk which seemed to be the touchwiz stock contacts.apk file. But I was unable to find any drawable-nodpi folder at all. Am I looking in the wrong place? Or is this not possible for Stock Roms after all?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bala_gamer:
for cm9 and aokp roms :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
in which apk, framework-res.apk in drawable-nodpi? it's not in there.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Go to system/framework

You'll find framework-res.apk.

Open it with 7z or WinRar.

Go to the folder res

Inside that, you'll find the nodpi folder

Hope this helps! :)

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

My Bad! :)....Just checked. The touchwiz_XXXX.png is also applicable for the contacts,dialer and call logs! :victory:

So, in effect, I've changed all 3! Thanks! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
don't see it, mate...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Okay, I'm not that into all this, but from what I've heard on this forum, there are a couple of differences between the international version and the AT&T Version of the S III. I suppose this could be one of those!...Check this out.

Tell you what- Here's how I found out what to change. Simply right click and copy every single one of those png files out to any folder (Don't move them yet). Change the one that matches the menu screen background. Depending on how different our ROMs are, you may see the same background on almost every generic black screen you've seen or it may be only for the settings. Try it out and lemme know if you find it.

All the best!:fingers-crossed:

{And by the way, totally unrelated, but how do you post an image like that? I've never been able to get it to do that. I've had to link my attachements at most!}
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
it's none in that folder unfortunately. would you mind posting your framework-res.apk? i can decompile it (hopefully) and see where that image is being called in and cross check with ours to see what it's calling in and from where. has to be in the framework, though, since so many screens have black backgrounds.

to post an image like that, you just hot link. grab the direct url to an image, and click the image button right next to the wrap quote button "
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Sure, no problem!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
alright, thanks mate!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Posted the link. Check my previous post! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
got it, thanks again! and i'm on it...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
No problems, man. Lemme know when you figure it out. It'd be nice to know what tinkering the guys up above get up to in order to distinguish two models of the same phone! :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
i think i found it but i can't test right now. of your framework-res, it's being called in in res\values\styles.xml as

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/tw_background_holo_dark</item>

on ours, that same line looks like

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_selector_dark</item>

and within that xml, i see

<item android:drawable="@drawable/screen_background_dark" android:state_accelerated="false" />

<item android:drawable="@drawable/background_holo_dark" />

which means within our drawables.xml i'm looking for those.

within that xml, both are black. i can't test right now (pretty sure my compile will fail), but i will get it later today. i'm just gonna change the styles.xml to point to the original backgrond_holo_dark
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
I don't really all that much about this, but this thread has been replicated in multiple forms by many developers for many phones. I don't exactly remember which one, but there was a thread in which a guy modified all xml values and replaced pngs merely through 7z without any compilation or so. I don't whether that would work. But a lot more people have posted positive responses to being able to push back unsigned apks. Don't know whether it'll be helpful, just putting it out there. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mrvirginia:
impossible to modify xml with just 7zip. you have to decompile first. but no worries, i did compile with plural errors which is what i thought would happen. all it takes is a .jar file switch and it'll compile back. should know here shortly. 99% positive i've got it though.

edit: argh, still getting plurals errors... hmmm

edit: just updating that i did get it done.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
Hello,

Very helpfull thread and good instructions. I have a question: can you tell me please which file should I modify to remove or make transparent the top banding where is writen the phone number when I call some one? I would love to see the entire picture of someone when I call him.

For modifying the SecContacts.apk in a Sammy ROM, which file should I replace (like in the first post) because there isn't a folder drawable-ndpi?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
Added Incentive?

I don't know whether this is included in the scope of this thread or not seeing as to it's labelled as a HOW TO for CM9/AOKP ROM, but can anyone direct me to the xml files that I have to edit to get the dialer buttons on the phone to make them transparent??..I'm running Wanam's Stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

You could try this app

Ultimate Call Screen HD

It does what you're looking for. If you're looking for doing manual labour with editing the xml files and all, I'm afraid I'm not that much of a help there! :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] starbucks2010:
It could be but I don't want to loose all the functionalities of the classic phone menu. I will give it a try to see how it looks.

In the mean time I'll search those banding files. :D

Best regards.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
I don't know about the newer versions, but when I was using this app on my Galaxy Apollo, it modified only the in-call screen....It made sure everything else remained the same. I think it's worth looking into! :)

No problem! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 89dogg:
I made this but it seems that it doesn't works...

i replaced tw_background_holo_dark.png with my own one. i resized it to 512x512 but always when i open settings, phone, contacts it occurs a FC.

i did a cache/dalvik wipe, but same error.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
I don't really know what may have caused this, so I'm just pointing out what caused problems for me when I tried it at first.

1.Don't name your file as tw_background_holo_dark.png. Simply name it without the extension. Most OS's add the extension on their own. I forgot that part and got an FC a couple of times.

2.While copying back the file to the system/framework folder, make sure the permissions are set right.....it should be

XX0

X00

X00

And just to make sure, can you try to modify the background_holo_dark.png as well and tell me how that works out for you?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 89dogg:
thanks for reply. finally i was able to made it succesfully :)

the problem was the file format. after resizing it was saved in jpg. changed to png, and finally it works ;)

but i got some issues with it.

i only made the first mod (for settings), not fpr secphone and seccontacts.

so i replaced the image for this --> tw_background_holo_dark.png

but now i got graphical probs in contacts and dialer???? look at the screenshots.

1. screen is how i like to have it, but 2. screen shouldn't be, cause i only replaced the tw_background_holo_dark.png.

i don't made the mod fpr dialer and contacts.... :/

how can i disable it for contacts and dialer=? any possiblity?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] karthik_hp_1992:
See, that's the thing.. For stock ROM's, there is no separate background for the phone and contacts.. I've been asking around in the Q&A section for quite some time now, but no one has been able to tell me how to mod the dialer.. Sorry about that... if some one is able to respond to my request after looking at this post, I'd be glad to help u out. Until then, I'd suggest a more practical background screen that matches the dialer as well. Sorry about that. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 89dogg:
ok thanks anyway......

probably it will be possible to change in dialer.apk the xml where the source for background is. so, we have to create a new .png (dark) and change the source in xml (dialer.apk).

probably this will work. but i'm not sure, i'll check this out.

Did you replace the files in the correct place. If not you might have to do a factory reset. and if all else fails just reflash.

Is there then no possibility with CM 10 to change the background of the Dialers?

This is easier way than apk modding:

- Download that zip: http://db.tt/cB8Brh78

- Open it with 7zip and navigate to /vrtheme/system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/

- Replace background_holo_dark.png and tw_background_holo_dark.png with your own images (make sure that names matches)

- Close 7zip and copy zip to your phone

- Flash it via CWM recovery

This works with samsung jb and ics roms, maybe also with aosp roms if default theme is selected from theme chooser.

Hello everybody,

I have this annoying problem with my sgs2 (4.0.3)

I have rooted my terminal using odin and everything and I have not installed any rom.

The problem is this:

- apps previously installed in my external sd card won't be read/recognised;

- I cannot move apps to sd with any program;

- apps are still present in my ext sd (occupy memory, I can see them in settings/apps);

- n7player can play music present in the sd.

- exclamation point present during reboot..

Possible problems (some ideas I got from surfing the web): permissions, change of ext. sd location..

Possible solutions: none until now

Last thing: I read some other similar topics but I decided to start a new one because I really couldn't get much of them so please, I am stilla noob about these things, be patient if I don't get everything you suggest :o
