[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Did you have time to check which files I have to modify for the notification bar?

Concerning the unlock icon on lockscreen I managed to have a themed one on RootBox rom using the .png files of framework-res from Rootbox rom and adding redirections in res/xml/android.xml

Since using ParanoidAndroid rom the themed icon doesn't work and I don't understand why. I looked into framework-res of PA rom and the file names are the same as RootBox...
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Some roms have the code that will theme lockscreen but most don't..

I've been working with slimrom mms because their inverted mms breaks themes.
[Android Themes] kroz:
they hardcoded it in their inverted layouts,

i have a commit in rb to respect theme chooser bubbles, i once post the link in their thread and even pm the dev, but no response from them

https://github.com/Root-Box/packages_apps_Mms/commit/c3309a8974bffcfb84e9f3bc532014597a9e2b9b
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Yeah I was able to fix all that and added their inverted to theme chooser but don't know how to submit the fix.
[Android Themes] kroz:
i pm'ed kufikugel (rt too), i believe he is the one taking charge of slim's theme

try to pm him too, i never got a reply from him linking my commit,

but my commit is for bubbles only, they also hardcoded ff000000 for the background of compose msg which breaks the transparency of the conversation area
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Yeah I fixed all that also...seems to work fine..been testing I today..

I'll try and get ahold of him and see if I get a reply.
[Android Themes] kroz:
did you include layout edits in your mixer?
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
WiFi activation

I'd like to modify the attached wifi/bluetooth buttons.

I think it's in the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk of my rom but I don't know where...
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
No I added one background color and text to the inverted layout so its themable via the engine.
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
Here is the modified Slim Mms

all you need to do to make a theme work is add in com_android_mms.xml

<item name="color/background_inv">@color/com_android_mms_background</item>

Maybe you can check and see if I missed anything. I only edited

/layout-inverted/compose_message_activity.xml

/layout-inverted/message_list_item_recv.xml

/layout-inverted/message_list_item_send.xml

I didnt touch contact_entry_list_item.xml..I wasnt sure what he did there.
[Android Themes] kroz:
its in systemui

statusbar_background.9.png

framework

there are lots of images for it to consider (on/off state and background)

check file names starts with switch_

i already have set that background to transparent but it wont work on normal slim mms right?

bec it was hardcoded in compose_message_activity.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff000000"
android:orientation="vertical">

they should make it as

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/background"
android:orientation="vertical">
[Android Themes] MrDSL:
They can't just make it background cause that would break their inverted option..that's why I added background_inv so it still works with their inverted option.

All I can do is hope they will use it.
[Android Themes] yaibakt:
hi kroz,

i want to make my phone as dark as possible, so, i think, the white fiber blankscreen i said before, could i replace it by a pure black image? will it break any apps? i think that blankscreen is just a "waiting-screen" while the phone is about to turn into the app's main screen, so it would be fine, aint it?
[Android Themes] kroz:
yeah hopefully they can redirected their codes in their colors.xml inside res/values-inverted

nope you can't do that, you can't just turn the background_holo_light.png into something dark image

it will break many areas, there are lots of items/codes to consider together with this
[Android Themes] yaibakt:
thanks for making it so clear :D now im totally enjoying your amazing theme, hehe.

Hi

I'd like to integrate inverted apps like Email, Instagram, Calendar... in my theme.

In Asul's theme it seems that these apps have been used.

Q: How do you add these modifications in an apk theme?

Q2: Is it possible to add or change the smiley icons in the SMS/MMS default app?
[Android Themes] kroz:
nothing special here, im just adding custom image for background_holo_dark and settings are automatically using it as background

those apks can only be used if using flashable themes like vrtheme, but on theme chooser apks you manually invert icons and edit xmls, check one of my theme as your guide on how i do it, open one app in res/xml and examine what im doing on inverts,

then use above guide how to add new icon support

add prefix settings_ on those icons

add on your theme's res/drawable-xhdpi

add corresponding line on your com_android_settings.xml in res/xml

i think that app is not possible to theme via theme chooser due to some package name issues

Hi Kroz,

Can I have your help ?

I tried to modify your wonderful Hue's theme using your method above without success.

I just want to change the circle battery icons by a square one with percentage.

So I opened your apk using 7zip, I put my png files (stat_sys_battery_xx & stat_sys_battery_charge_animxx) into the folder res\drawable-xhdpi.

Then, I closed the file.

And when I tried to install the apk, it failed.

Can you tell me where i'm wrong ?

Should I have to use the decompiling/modifying/compiling/signing method ?

TIA !
[Android Themes] kroz:
yup, you have to...

7zip dragging wont work :)

Oh too bad, it was a so easy method !

Hi Kroz

I'm fed up with latest CM10.2 nightlies... I implore your help.

I'm struggling to find the right files to modify 3 things on latest CM10.2 based roms:

- spinners

- overflow button for Menu option

- the blue highlighting when we select an option in Settings and other menu

I attached the 3 things to be more clear.

I've compared the latest PACman nightly with my theme for framework-res.apk / Settings.apk / SystemUI.apk but it didn't themed what I want.
[Android Themes] kroz:
try these all located in framework:

spinners (change all to be sure)

spinner_48_inner_holo

spinner_48_outer_holo

spinner_76_inner_holo

menu overflow button

ic_menu_moreoverflow_normal_holo_dark

ic_menu_moreoverflow_normal_holo_light

highlight

I'll check this weekend with your Hue update. As far as I remember all "spinner" files are the same (folder, dimension, size...) so I'll try to replace them.

I really appreciate your support :good:
[Android Themes] kroz:
hmm... those spinners are in different sizes
[Android Themes] Litderose:
Hello [MENTION=3185139]kroz[/MENTION],

I succeeded in my attemps to have a square battery in your awesome HueLite theme.

But, i'm not satisfied with the size of the icon.

With the Hue theme, the battery icon is smaller than in the White Ice theme from Vicino (here) :

Battery Icon in the Hue theme :

Same battery Icon with the White Ice theme :

So I believe you're using your own size for the battery icon and my question is where I can find this setting and how I can set the size to have a greater icon ?

Cheers.
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Kroz will correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK all CM themes have tons of battery icons for charging and discharging. So the only way to have the same icons but bigger ones is to modify all these png files and resize them.

You need to resize the battery icon without modying the file size.
[Android Themes] Litderose:
Are you sure ? Because I took the icons from the WhiteIce theme and put them into the Hue theme without any resizing.

In the Hue theme, the icons are displayed smaller than in the WhiteIce theme.

I have a look into the xml and I found some settings for icon size, so this is why I ask to Kroz if there were a customized size in Hue theme.

Best regards.
[Android Themes] kroz:
no particular size on xml that i modified

if you get it from his theme (res/drawable-hdpi)

then delete my battery icons from res/drawable-xhdpi and put his battery icons inside my res/drawable-hdpi
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
I followed your instructions but nothing changed.

So I decided to apply your latest theme HueGreen v4.0 and I still have the same issues: Spinners, overflow menus, checkboxes and "list activated holo" are not themed even after reboot.

I attached some screenshot for better understanding.

However I'm interesting to know how did you modify the top bar color in Settings menu (top_menu.jpeg).

Thanks!
[Android Themes] kroz:
then i guess the problem lies on rom, im using slim and those are themed,

regarding the top menu, i guess its in framework, i didn't themed it intentionally,

framework is a little bit tricky, even old files from old android versions are still included in the new framework

so to theme it properly, theme most of the icons, yeah too many icons in framework but the chances are big :)
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Right so I'm going to try another rom because I've realised beautiful spinners :laugh:
[Android Themes] Litderose:
It works ! :victory:
