Can't wait to see what it is though I assume it was something along the lines of what I was talking about haha. Here's a screenie of my drop-down menu with the 15 toggle mod. I love everything about it which means I'd rather keep it's elements (transparent screen, 15T mod, etc.) moreso than have the colors perfect but figured if both are possible then why not? The main part like I said was the time/date/day area but I also went ahead and drew circles and arrows around the other parts I'd like to make pure white before I consider it perfectly themed how I want it. Unless whatever you're working on would also change the other elements as well, I plan on asking the original dev if he can help me out with that part.

EDIT: And just like that, I think I've decided that actually it'd look better to keep the top part all blue and only the elements that can be changed be themed white/blue. It gives it a sort of uniform feeling like "oh this is white so if I press it it'll change." Which makes me wonder now if instead of the grey close bar at the bottom turning white when you press it, maybe have it white while it's idle and then turn blue when you press it. Ahh decision decisions!

Recently, I tried pushing a modified SystemUI to my phone and got a some FCs of "14 dip". Can anyone tell me what u need to do to fix it? I'm running stock odex and did a dalvik and cache wipe prior to the rebooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razorwindmo46:
Ok, so I am new to the SGS3 theme deal. If this should be posted to the questions thread, I do appologize.

I am rooted and I done my backup. What do I have to do to install any custom themes? I've been reading and reading and all I can get is that you need a custom rom to change themes (haven't found a newer one yet I trust). Is it that hard to theme a stock rom without using an app from the market? I can't for the life of me find a detailed walkthrough. I understand the odex and deodex. It seems to me when I did my Evo 4G it seemed much easier.

A familiar username, a familiar question...;)

The morphology thread is where to start...it just so happens that morphology supports three major and reliable TW (stock looking) roms (FreeGs3, The People's Rom, and Franken Rom)...from there, flash both mods in the OP. Morphology has the OMG themes built in there if that is what you want.

How can I theme the stock apps icons? (Like Messaging, Phone, contacts, media player, etc.) On a deodexed ROM.

Not the actual app, just the Icon on the homescreen/app drawer.

Note: I mean actually changing the icon. Not using an app from the play store. Going in and making it the default icon

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
So, could anyone give me a kick start? Im looking to create stock themes for some different touchwiz roms. I have a general idea of what to do. But i do not have a flashable zip i could use. In other terms, how could i get a theme to flash on whomevers S3? (currently wanting to fully theme Naddicts peoples rom to full stock and not burden him with asking him to make a full stock theme. He already did some theming for me and those who wanted)..

Anyways, back on the evo 4g, years ago, i made a theme, used a zip provided by i think gruesome wolf. All i did was basically collect icons and what not and drag them into the zip and when i flashed the zip, the icons on the rom previously would be the ones i placed. Im looking to theme the rom im currently on to 100% or 99% stock (The Peoples ROM 3.0.8)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Evewon:
A few changes I just cant find, please help!

I need some help guys..

After theming almost 99% of all the Samsung system apks, I am stuck.

I am trying to change all blue images/ text, well eveything that is blue to green for all apks, these are the 3 that are driving me crazy and I just cant seem to find.

1. Is in the ClockPackage.apk

I cant find the xml that controls the blue color of the selected text above.

2. Next is when you crop a picture, I have looked all through SecGallery2.apk and SamsungCamera.apk

I cant find the xml to change the bars of the crop square...

3. Is the SamsungCamera.apk, I have gone through every file located in res, and cant find how to make the text in the menus green.

Looked through all files, to get rid of blue text, can't find what controls it. Please help!

I have looked and looked, I must be missing something...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking for theme without black background

Hi,

Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have a Sprint S3 flashed to Boost. I recently flashed Wicked Sensations and have been enjoying but not a fan of the black background on some of the screens (pulldown and email in particular) I was able to make pulldown somewhat transparent and that has helped but my email background is not good and I don't see a way of changing it. Don't want to flash a new rom at this time and someone told me that not all themes have a black background. I'm just not sure what I need to look for. I've looked at some posts that mention you can only install if you have a certain systemui? Not sure what that means or where I need to look. :confused: As you can probably tell I'm a newbie at these things.

Hopefully I posted in the right spot. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxTeXx07xX:
Got this SPH-L710T_BOOST_4.4.2_ NF4 and i want to theme me a new dialpad. I have noticed alot of the files I need to change are in SecPhone.apk. I started with just changing a few of like call_keypad_bg, incall_keypad_bg, etc...

Mainly the bg ones for starters. Im using 7zip and dropping the new images in the correct folders. Im very organized. I got list of all images and the dimensions that i need to change written down and everything. Now I made several themed dialpads on the sph-l710 when I was on the MK3 baseband. Im having problems on this tri band model on NF4. For instance just changing a few backgrounds just using 7zip. No need to decompile anything....

Im confused here. I notice Im also losing my network connection. Getting a red X beside my data signal. Its just not making sense for some reason. Im not decompiling or recompiling anything here. Just changing a few bg images and doing a test. I have done this before like I explained a bunch of times before with no issues. Never lost my network signal doing it before either just changing a few images..... Im at a lose here. Its not making sense. I have written down a huge list of each image and its dimensions to make sure I matching the image sizes and filenames. Any help to explain why im losing my network connection would be greatly appreciated. I havent tried flashing a new SecPhone.apk cause theres no decompile or recompiling going on here. Just replacing images. Im super confused. Also getting fc's. Its not making sense to me. If someone can shine some light on this for me would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help or guidance.

Great idea Shane!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Ah I forgot to load the framework file, good call man...

And you know whats funny, is Ive found the name/location of this file the hard way, and Ive been told twice before. Either the files are just really wacky this time around, or that file name/location is a curse for me :(. Ive seen it be a single dot.9 patch fill file (really small), and Ive seen it be a bigger image, and Im still looking. But my eyes are killing me now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
I remember you saying something about that a few months ago on the ET4G. I looked but couldn't find anything that looked like it might be it, more importantly I didn't find anything in the xml files that would point to that.

If you haven't seen it go back to my last post on page 2. That is what I found in the xml files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Yeah, well if I remember right it was always a file, not an xml edit. The hard way was to add diff color dots to each black image I came across in drawable-hdpi on the et4g, now xhdpi, but that took forever. I may have to do the same thing. But ill ask around first, maybe tomorrow. Im about to be gettin down for the fourth ;) At home this year, but still fun. So I wont post in anyones theme thread just yet, since Id rather people have fun today :)

Edit, and the thread your thinking of was for the actually notification box, like when you get a text message. But I have had several of those threads also. The one where you helped was an xml edit because it was for cm9 I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:
Just the thread I was looking for...

Haven't done a whole lot of ICS themeing (GB use to be so much easier), and especially not with TouchWiz. Anyway, I have the following questions in reference to the screen shot below. Most of these changes, if not all, I believe are in the SystemUI. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

1) How the hell do you get rid of the carrier ID? Also, if I wanted to move it to where the date currently is in the notification menu, how would this be accomplished?

2) How do I change the quick menu toggle color? Is it a hexcode or a png... haven't been able to find it anywhere? Maybe in the framework-res?

3) For future's sake & reference which xml is this color at (the background for the toggles)?

4) How do I right align the date by the settings button?

5) Text color location for this?

6) Background Color for this?

F.Y.I. This apk manager works perfect for decompiling and recompiling the systemui and framework-res, for the SGS3. Don't forget to install your framework-res first.

Is there anything else fairly simple that we could use to de-compile?

will give that a try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
apkmanager works fine. Just make sure you install the framework resources. I also had issues with decompiling the systemui from clarks rom. PhantomHackers worked fine.

</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView>

I changed it to #88000000 and it became semi-transparent.

@Swiftks: We don't have the carrier in the status bar on the Sprint version. It's in the location where you want it on yours, same with the date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
nicely done shane! Can't wait to try it out lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
So whats the color code for 95% transparent?

Edit: actually, Im thinking gimp, what I mean to say is adding 5% transparency.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
#F2000000 would be very close.

Think I might have found the location of the carrier id label for those that have it on the status bar.

tw_status_bar.xml

Could anyone help me on how to revert a transparent status bar (not pull down) back to being 100% non transparent?

Also could anyone tell me what to edit to change the order for which the toggles appear?

"All this knowledge is giving me a raging brainer!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Why is the status bar not transparent? So far I've found 2 places where you can change the status bar back ground. One is the drawables.xml and the other is in the tw_status_bar.xml.

The toggles is smali. If you would want to tackle that sbrissen or Maddoggin is who I would ask, but you had better have some java and smali experience before even asking them about this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Off top of my head you need to change the color in drawables xml back to black and change the status bar smali back to const 0x4 (transparent line is -0x3).

Ok in StatusBar.smali

const/16 v16, -0x3

needs to be changed back to

const/16 v16, 0x4

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

So got it to stick, went with 50% but it looks a little funny lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Did you have to adjust the status bar smali or were you able to do it with an alpha adjustment in the drawables.xml?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Hmmm I had already done the statusbar smali since I already had transparent status bar set.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Okay, I have a question. I havent themed Touchwiz since the OG Epic, and I imagine ICS is a little different. Where is the image located for the statusbar? I want to change the actual statusbar image. I know with the og epic, there were two locations that you had to edit, but not sure with the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
It's called from xml, not an image. It's in the twstatus_bar.xml and redirects to the drawables.xml where it calls out the #ff000000 hex code. You can either change the color there, or in either place change it to @drawable/statusbar_bg then make an image with the same name an put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Is it in SystemUI.apk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Yes, and very easy to find.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moh_Jay:
May I ask what programs you guys use to edit the color of pngs?

"All this knowledge is giving me a raging brainer!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
I personally use photoshop, but if you want a good free program try gimp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moh_Jay:
Ya I use gimp just wondering

"All this knowledge is giving me a raging brainer!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
any idea what i could change this to to get rid of it?

edit: i added android:visibility="gone" and it's still there. decompiled tweaked version and my changes are intact. had a good compile, too. going to try one more thing..

okay, what appears to be happening is as soon as you do a pulldown, the carrier string shows up and sticks in the bar again so there must be another place it's being called in. going to do some more digging and see what i can find.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
I'm guessing that you should be able to add the string

android:visibility="gone"

to make it go away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
yep, that's exactly what i did. a pulldown of the bar is causing it to come back, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
it's showing up in smali as well, as CarrierLabel.smali and CarrierLabel$1.smali

any idea what to do here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
I can look at this later when I get home. Plus doing this blind since we don't have the carrier label in the status bar on the Sprint version. I'm guessing this is only on the GSM phones since your phones like to tell you who's network your on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
yeah, i'm not at home either. if i were i'd just grab up a Rogers or Sprint dump and decompile their SystemUI and see what's different. i'm guessing they don't even have a carrierlabel smali, though.

i appreciate your help, Shane.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
LOL its bad enough Sprint tells us on the notification pull down but at least they took off the Lockscreen carrier :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:

Check the tw_tracking xml in res/layout, I noticed if I remove the Carrier label section from that xml then the Carrier label does not display.

yes correct. but if you pull the statusbar down, it appears again on your statusbar, right?

edit: if someone could post a stock SystemUI.apk that is deodexed from either a Sprint or Rogers dump, i would greatly appreciate it :)

no, this did not work. the SystemUI came back with a FC with that entire line deleted. and, before it FC'd, i also saw that it was still there...

Hmm not sure then if you were gettin an FC....theming on AOSP is so much easier lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
off the bat i can tell everyone that the android:id="@id/carrierLabel" within tw_status_bar.xml has nothing to do with it. this is here on the Rogers SystemUI as well. this xml is identical to the ATT one. i can't check the smali code because the Rogers SystemUI is ODEXED. i need DEODEXED

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

nah, just as easy theming non-AOSP if you know where to find most things...sometimes it just takes some thought when starting out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
Would you be so kind as to post your systemui for others to look at? This is something that many on GSM devices are going to ask for. If you have it working we would like to figure out how you did it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrvirginia:
it's def smali code, Shane. this is how it was removed from the AT&T HTC One X. i can try to download that SystemUI and see what they did but i may end up PM'ing the guy who did it.

Sure, I'm on DietICS for ATT flashing it causes my carrier label to disappear.

no difference in CarrierLabel.smali, but there is a difference within the CarrierLabel$1.smali... going to see what was changed, make the change, and flash to see if it works.
