Ok, i am going to go back to basics and start again.

Is this the correct folder structure for a visual,

Please see screenshot below
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
WoooHooo, got that bit right:highfive:

I am trying to make a stock theme,

I start by decompiing systemui (no errors)

Then i modify systemui/res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml,

and systemui/res/drawable.

In tw_status_bar_expanded.xml i change a background color

android:id="@id/onGoingCart" android:background=[COLOR=Red]"#00000000"[/COLOR]

To a background png.

android:id="@id/onGoingCart" android:background=[COLOR=Red]"@drawable/ongoing"[/COLOR]

I then put a copy of the ongoing png into systemui/res/drawable

Then compile systemui (no errors)

transfer META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from original systemui into build folder of apktool 1.52

and compile systemui again, (no errors) giving me a systemui.apk in dist folder.

if i transfer this systemui.apk to my phone and reboot, everything works out fine, and i have the modded theme that i just made.:)

However, when I open the newly made systemui apk and transfer the systemui/res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml to a systemui/res/layout folder

and the systemui/res/drawable folder to systemui/res/ in a visual, and flash that visual i get "Unfortunatly, System UI has stopped":crying:

Can anybody see what i am doing wrong,

i am pulling my hair out trying to get this to flash without system ui f/c

Folder structure in screenshots below.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
You did take the XML from the compiled apk?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
You're adding an image thats not in public is likely the issue. That would also cause issues for people decompiling the apk after installing the theme.

What is the image you are changing to?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
Yes, both the tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and the drawable folder from the compiled System ui into the visual
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
I am changing the background of the notification/clear button and the ongoing on the dropdown notification screen

to look like this

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1866987&d=1365422660

I am changing to the png's below

notification.png and ongoing.png

the notification png is the background for the clear button also

i have tried .9.pngs as well, still no luck.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] manuelmagix:
I think put "ongoing" >> systemui/res/drawable- hdpi

You cant add an image thats not in public. But you could do a one pixel high line of blue in the xml followed by your notification header as a color followed by another one pixel line of blue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
I learnt to edit my first xml file on tuesday, i normally only edit png's, so what you suggested went waaaay over my head:eek:

Could you tell me where to find the "notification header", and adding a "one pixel line of blue"? how would i do that, wouldnt that be by adding a png?

As i said i am a real newb when it comes to editing xml files

Thanks for all your help Goldie, i really appreciate it.:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
@ Goldie, is this ok to use, to make a 1 px blue line in the xml

<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#ff33b5e5" />

I just made a visual to change the wifi icon and singal icon to make it look like stock and added signal cluster view xml but I couldnt test it... it wont flash using rom customizer it boots to recovery but nothing happens, I have jeebo twrp

Thanks alot :D

Edit: Just tried with ficeto kernel same issue, Sorry I kept spaces in the zip now it works fine... but there seems to be an issue, I wanted to restore the data look and wifi from the stock one but it seems that I placed the wrong xml ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ba7rani123:
Fixed everything Works fine now :D

It replaces the AOSP wifi and data icons with the stock ones as you can see the screenshot/preview

AOSP >>> Stock

Stock >>> AOSP

Please add it to OTA which I think requires a sperate category :D

Thanks to Goldieking for this amazing ROM !! :D

Edit: restore zip doesnt work for now, will fix it later. Sorry :( a bit busy

Edit: Everything works perfectly now :D sorry for all the false alarms :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
@ Goldie, i know you just spent a heap of time making v7.3 which is an amazing update to 7.02,

but i was wondering if you will be make some sort of OTA update for v7.3 as well,

the only reason i am asking is that if i am making OTA visuals for 7.3 and i encounter a System ui f/c, (for example),

unless i have missed something, i need to reflash the complete rom again, or flash a backup, to fix the problem

where as with v7.02, all i needed to do was flash v7.02 Stock Themed zip, or Fix Pack Stock zip,

to fix the System ui f/c.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
Easiest way is to have a backup of the apk you are modding on PC so you can push it back if you run into trouble.

Other option if you´re only modding System-ui is to have a CWM zip on SD with the original System-ui from the rom in it. (add any other apk that you are changing to it)

Edit: as you found out the included SysUI is AOSP themed, you know where to get the stock one
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
Thank-you for that dikkebas,

I am looking for the Stock System Ui

do you know if the System Ui in preload/symlink/system/app is the Stock themed one or the AOSP themed one?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
Good question:D

The one on your phone is, take that using a root explorer or ADB

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kadivarz:
hey guys am on 7.3 and i wanna install this theme (blue fantasy)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223468

when i install it i get a bootloop with no fix when using screen savers such as Htc..xperia etc..

any solution for this ??

i asked in the main forums they lead me here

well here is the mod and i would be very glad if any one helps me with this

thx :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
Good question.:D

I just downloaded the theme and had a look, it has like a zillion xml in framework, they probably conflict with the mods in the rom.

I'll remove the XML and make it an OTA theme for you to try, later

Edit: another possible reason for the theme causing problems is that its HUGE

I made it an OTA theme, please backup and test it.

http://www.putlocker.com/file/7B5ED699E0F962BA

I think it might be wise to open the zip and delete any folder apk's that you don't recognize / never use to slim it down a bit:rolleyes:

WARNING: untested! Please anyone try it out and post feedback, preferably in the OTA submissions thread. Do backup first, or be prepared to do a no wipe rom flash to restore

I didn't change any of the images so toggles / battery / signal etc. are colored and won't play nice when theming them
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kadivarz:
thx man alot ^^

will test and give a feedback

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kadivarz:
well??

am tryin to flash it or install it via Rc but nothin happens

how i do it ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
Should work when installing from rc

You on stock theme?

What kernel?

I just flashed (some of) it on an aosp themed V7.3 and it flashes fine

Can't say I like it but sysui, framework, settins, contacts - dialer are all themed

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kadivarz:
yes am on stock theme i take the folder as u uploaded bro then installed it via rc

but it says failed :) any clue ??

and fiecto kernel should i change kernel and try again???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dikkebas:
Check if kernel is OK for OTA visuals by downloading a small one from ota and see if that works. (siyah is good)

And like I said, it´s huge.

Delete most apk, specially the big ones. Try flashing with the basic apps

framework/res

System-ui

contacts

settings

sec phone

See if that works, add other apk if it does
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KoveNK:
Anyone knows how to install a battery mod on this rom?? Or make a flasheable zip... i have the files from systemui but i dont know how to compose the flasheable zip. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kadivarz:
when i flash it asks me for reboot then takes me to recovery without doin any thing

i try to flash it but says aborted

Change text color of "Auto", beside brightness slider

Can anybody tell me what i need to edit, in which xml file, to change the color of the "Auto" text beside the brightness slider, in the below screenshot.

I am wanting to change the text color to blue, to tie in with the rest of the theme.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
In SystemUI.apk/res/tw_status_bar_toggle_slider.xml search for android:textColor keyword and change it's value.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tired Storeman:
This may be of help to inexperianced themers

I have stumbled apon a website that might be of some help to, not so experianced themers (like myself).

Android Asset Studio

They offer:-

Icon Generators.

Icon generators allow you to quickly and easily generate icons from existing source images, clipart, or text.

for

Launchers

Action Bar And Tab Icons

Notification Icons

Generic Icons

The above generators are fairly basic generators in what they produce.

Simple nine-patch generator

The Generator i thought might be of most help, if you are making your own theme is the

Android Holo Colors Generator

The Android Holo Colors Generator allows you to easily create Android components such as edit text or spinner with your own colours for your Android application. It will generate all necessary nine patch assets plus associated XML drawables and styles which you can copy straight into your project.

The following is a list of what can be re colored with Android Holo Color Generator

Edit Text

Autocomplete

Button

Colored Button

CheckBox

Radio

Spinner

Colored Spinner

ProgressBar

SeekBar

RatingBar

RatingBar Small

RatingBar Big

Toggle

List Selector

Fast Scroll

Switch

Once you have finalized your changes you will download a zip file which contains a res folder.

I am not to sure how to use the xml files generated

, (you maybe able to work it out) but the png's produced should be easy enough to

swap with the ones in a Framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi folder, obtained from your phone.

It appears that the png's produced in the res folder are only suitable for the AOSP theme as it does not contain any

tw_ png's so the appropriate files will have to be renamed with the tw_ added, like

switch_thumb_activated_holo_dark.9.png -> tw_switch_thumb_activated_holo_dark.9.png and so on.

Somebody correct me if i am wrong, but i dont think renaming a .9.png breaks the .9 patch

Make sure you do a backup before changing anything on your phone

The Android Asset Studio, seems to work best with Google Chrome browser

Below are a few screenshots from the Android Holo Colors Generator

@ Goldie,

I know that you are busy, but i was wondering if you could have a look at the UxpNxtLockScreen.apk, and see if you have the same problem i and a few other members have, in that the apk will not compile without errors.

I decompile the apk, then compile it without making any changes, and get errors, do you know why this is happening, (if it is happening to you as well)
