Yes that one....in v4.0 it like on your screenshot but in v4.1 its fully transparent....does it got something to do with android version? i'm on Carbon Rom v4.2.2 and your themes is for v4.3....i downgraded the API just like you said before to make it work on v4.2.2...
[Android Themes] kroz:
nope i didn't touched that from old version of hue until 4.1

maybe you have settings in your rom to control that?

or try to reboot?
[Android Themes] iPusak Gaoq™:
Oooppppsssss my mistake :eek:

seems like i forget that i have make it 100% transparent before :D

[MENTION=3185139]kroz[/MENTION] buddy....

where/what can I change to get this white background black?

in tapa2....marked with green spots;)?

Sent from /SlimBean//Android 4.3:p//
[Android Themes] kroz:
actually you can invert that text area into black,

but i gave up and stopped finding where that text color was located

i can't find it before,

tapatalk2 still uses gingerbread files/images

all oranges that you will see is gingerbread stuff

that text field, list pressed color, and some buttons

they didn't updated their images to use holo icons
[Android Themes] m1trand1r:
aye....black text on black background ain't nice:p.....i'm on the new mission tho....maybe i'll find where that black text could be changed....I want to do this because tapa4/HD is so screwy....I mean it's slow on response ....I need to wait couple of secs to exit from app and loading is slow even on fast H+ connection and app itself uses huge amount of ram.....55MB!!!!....that's sick...look...

hi kroz,

im playing around with your hue.

- slimrom 4.2, camera 4.2 and hue 3.1, the camera is themed right.

- slimrom 4.2, camera 4.3 (taken from 4.3 zip file), and hue 4.2, the camera is themed right.

- slimrom 4.3, camera 4.3, hue 4.2, camera is themed right.

- slimrom 4.3, camera 4.2 (taken from 4.2 zip file), and hue 4.2 with "com_android_gallery3d" file from hue3.1, the camera is themed wrong.

the problem is, im using slimrom 4.3, but i prefer the 4.2's camera which could take photos by pressing power button, so i try to get the themed camera from your old hue 3.1. but it doesnt work now :(

how could i do this? or its just impossible?

thank you.
[Android Themes] kroz:
aside from the com_android_gallery3d.xml that you grab from previous hue version

check each folder too and grab all necessary images, filenames starting with gallery_

[Android Themes] m_harsh:
I want to copy the quick settings tiles of this apk ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2398751 ) into an another apk.....how can i do that....??
[Android Themes] kroz:
decompile apk

go to res/drawable-xhdpi

look for system_status_bar_close_off.9.png

open it in photoshop

change the H to whatever you want

you can expand the width of the image in canvas size (Alt+Ctrl+C)

but make sure to preserve the black 1 pixel boarder

and dont write anything on top of that 1 pixel outer boarder

when you are done

open system_status_bar_close_on.9.png (this is the image you will see when you press the handle, line has glow effect)

and do the same thing

when you are done, compile sign and install

what you need to get on that apk was:

1. go to res/drawable-hdpi or xhdpi, depends on that theme

look for all the images that the filenames starts with

com_android_systemui_ic_qs_*****

those were the icons inside the tile

2. go to res/drawable

look for com_android_systemui_qs_tile_background.xml

3. open that xml and you will probably see two drawable images redirected

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/com_android_systemui_whateverfilenameheused" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/com_android_systemui_whateverfilenameheusedagain" />

and look into that filename in res/drawable-hdpi or xhdpi and get them too

then paste them on your another apk according to what folder you grab them

they might replace existing or add as new

now go to your new theme apk's res/xml

and look for com_android_systemui.xml

check whether the files you transferred were redirected

for example

you copied com_android_systemui_ic_qs_2g_off.png from the first apk to another apk

then you should see a line in that xml

<item name="drawable/ic_qs_2g_off">@drawable/com_android_systemui_ic_qs_2g_off</item>

if it doesn't exist, then add it, and add a redirection for every images and xml you transferred

goodluck! :)

note that these prefixes are the standard one for most of the themes, other theme might used another rather than "com_android_systemui_"

like me, i am using "system_" rather than "com_android_systemui_"
[Android Themes] m_harsh:
Thanks for your reply mate...i successfully did change it...

One more help

How can i change the soft keys of a theme within the apk itself....any idea??
[Android Themes] kroz:
they were also located in res/drawable-hdpi or xhdpi folder

com_android_systemui_ic_sysbar_*** filenames

I received a few feedbacks from users of my theme ReBorn about bootloop issues when they apply it.

I think this is due to JB 4.3.1. (example of bootloop with this rom Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1 - d2att v3.9).

I have no phone atm to make some tests so if you already have the solution... :)
[Android Themes] kroz:
never received any feedback from my users regarding that

i can't think of anything that will cause a bootloop :confused:

how about your previous version? if that was working for them then maybe you have to check all your changes since then
[Android Themes] JRJ442:
[MENTION=3185139]kroz[/MENTION] I was just looking through Jelly Bean Extreme by Big DX. I was thinking about pulling his signal and WiFi icons and putting them in Hue. All of them start with a com_android_systemui_whatever. The ones in Hue are system_stat_sys_whatever. Why are the names different and would they still work in Hue?
[Android Themes] Computoncio:
You can change the icons you like but you must maintain the file name of the theme you are altering.

Example:

If file original name of the file is com_android_systemui_stats_sys_wifi_in and in theme is stats_sys_wifi_in you must rename the file com_android_systemui_stats_sys_wifi_in to stats_sys_wifi_in, because that icon in theme is know with that name.

How do you proceed to update your themes to Android 4.4? I'll probably check the new png files but what else?
[Android Themes] kroz:
i think it is java coded

i use the same boarder for calculator and qs tiles

calculator_btn_keyboard_key_dark_normal_holo.png

calculator_btn_keyboard_key_dark_pressed_holo.png

if you want to remove it then delete

system_qs_tile_background.xml

in res/drawable

for the settings image i guess it is

framework_panel_background.9.png or

framework_panel_bg_holo_dark.9.png

in res/drawable-xhdpi

i had no plans yet until i have it running on my old device sgs2

but would probably start again from scratch

Hi @Kroz

I've tried to start working on KitKat themes.

I downloaded Beanstalk custom rom to decompile framework-res.apk. As you know I have a problem :p

What do I have to update/install to decompile/recompile KitKat stuff?

Here is attached the message I have.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

My PC Config: Win7 64bits.

I believe you work on Linux. A XDA member said that he was able to install the framework on Linux but not on Windows... here

EDIT2

It's OK :D I took the framework-res.apk from another rom and the installation and decompilation work!
[Android Themes] LAKAME_MAN:
[MENTION=3185139]kroz[/MENTION] does this method still apply to the newest version of your Hue theme (4.4)? If yes, is it possible with just extracting the apk (with apk-multi-tool) or I have to decompile it?
[Android Themes] kroz:
actually on latest Hue i only have xhdpi folder

you still need to decompile the apk then delete that folder, then compile and sign

Hello

I made a stupid mistake, I did a right click on APK file and pointed it to the APKtool folder and selected script to open and you know that didnt work. Then hit notepad by accident,

Any help how I can get files back to how they belong ......

Thanks
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Did you select a default program to open this kind of extension? If yes follow these steps:

Configuration panel > Programs >Default Programs > Associate a kind of file or a protocol to a program then select the file extension you want > clic on Change the program > Take another program by default

(French translations so the menus will be different)
[Android Themes] DeZeeKo:
Hi

Thanks for the reply, but there is not a program there that I can use. If you know what program I should use let me know and I can try to set it.
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Oh oh oh... Okay I see what you mean now. To open .apk files install 7-zip for instance then unzip the .apk.

Be careful! Unzip an apk file isn't perfect. You'll have png files (no problem) but you won't be able to read some files (with codes) and .9.png files won't have the 1px black border.

The best solution is to decompile with apktool, apk multi-tool....
[Android Themes] m1trand1r:
errrm....what exactly do you want to do?

Open .apk as zip or decompile it?

I'm a bit confused with above....:banghead:

I would like to get them back to what they were before I screw them up. Its for decompile so I can use APKtool.

Really dont want them in zip form, this way I can go back in forth from pc to phone the way it use it be.
[Android Themes] LAKAME_MAN:
That doesn't seem to work tho. Deleting that folder causes a large number of errors when compiling that look like this:

D:\Android\Tools\APK-Multi-Tool\other\..\projects\HueWhite_4.4.apk\res\values\public.xml:5496: error: Public symbol mipmap/adaway_icon declared here is not defined.

I tried deleting those lines from public.xml but that didn't help either.

I'm pretty sure I've set up everything correctly - compiling without modifications works fine.

I appreciate it if you can help me out. Thank you.

<style name="TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.Switch" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Holo.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#00000000</item>
</style>

In /res/xml/android.xml (xml file linked to framework-res.apk where are located the switch buttons) add these lines:

android
<item name="style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.Switch">@style/TextAppearance.Holo.Widget.Switch</item>

Enjoy :fingers-crossed:

Hope it will help ;)

Doing that replaced every icon in the theme with green Androids. I'm guessing I will need to replace the mipmap folder with one containing stock Kit-Kat icons (goal is stock icons with the theme I like, with stock launcher)? Any idea where I can find that? I tried exploring the CM11 Rom .zip, but the original icons are in each individual app and I don't see a "System" theme to pull the mipmap folder from...
[Android Themes] NAZUnlimited:
in an app, lets say locker.apk, there is an layout.xml where exist

<LinearLayout ... android:background="#10000000" ... >

and

<LinearLayout ...android:background="@drawable/bg_music" ...>

(note: they are for different layers on separated areas of the screen)

normally, we can redirect in a theme.apk, something like

android:background="blackish"

as

<resource-redirections>
<item name="color/blackish">@color/blue</item>

or to an image

<resource-redirections>
<item name="color/blackish">@drawable/imagesomething</item>

but in the case of a background stated as

[B]android:background="#10000000"[/B]

, how can it be redirected without needing to create a whole layout.xml (and other stuff :eek:) or modding the original app?

this is annoying me so much :mad:
[Android Themes] kroz:
note that you cant theme layouts via theme chooser :)
[Android Themes] NAZUnlimited:
The first linear layout was a typo, its the name of the proccess. Anyway, I'm just interested in changing the background of the app, make it darker and it's annoying because it isnt tagged to a color (the usual android:background="-color-"), instead i got the android:background="#10000000", being the #10000000 not a tag but the color itself and i cant figure out how to redirect that in a theme application as we would if it was a tag
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
What is the file and/or line to modify for the text color in system settings?

I'd like to obtain a black text instead of the white by default.
[Android Themes] kroz:
that was a hexcode

check 2nd post in op regarding hexcodes

i believe it was in framework, primary_color, if you change that, then all white texts will be changed too

never did that before so wasn't sure, and i haven't look how to control setting's font before

try to check on settings' style.xml if there are any holo theme that can be changed to holo_light just to invert the main frame of settings page
[Android Themes] NAZUnlimited:
tx for the help but my problem is how to redirect an hexcolor code to a specific tag, without de/recompiling the original app but using a theme and a theme engine, something like changing the background of the phone.apk using lunarui and a theme engine.

Quoting you

what i want is to redirect the hex to a tag, like this

<item name="#FF000000">@drawable/notification_panel_bg</item>

but this code doesn't work nor "color/#FF000000".

I also tried redirecting the app layout xml's where

android:background="#10000000"

to fixed ones in theme where

android:background="@color/blackish"

and blackish is declared in color.xml as #10000000 (also redirected the necessary ids, strings, etc) but the app gives FC when uses the redirected layout which gives me the thought that some layouts can't be redirected in themes.

So... any ideas how to do redirect pure hexcolor code to something else?

Btw, i am also trying to redirect this

<... android:background="@*android:color/black" ...>

to other thing but this

<item name="*android:color/black">@drawable/com_android_phone_bg</item>

isn't doing nothing, is the redirection code correct (the

<item name="*android:color/black">

) ?

I have tried a lot of things in the .xml lines and styles.xml file to change the text color in the Contacts app but nothing works... As you may now I'm working on your HueGreen theme (FYI).

Thanks a lot!!!
[Android Themes] kroz:
just replace #FF000000 with [MENTION=3944923]drawab[/MENTION]le/name_of_your_custom_image

there is no stocktheme.apk within the rom

you have to modify per apk itself

well until now im still not working on updating my theme to kk

i do my inverts through source, in slimroms,

and as far as i remember, i did some layout edits, and also do some themeing in ContactsCommon aside from contacts, havent checked the compiled contacts yet, hehe
[Android Themes] NAZUnlimited:
Unfortunately that doesn't work (at least with the theme engine that i am using). had no other choice than to mod the stock app, replace the android_background="#10000000" with an android_background="@color/blackish". Now i can redirect that bg with themes but the main idea was redirecting without modding the stock app.

Anyway, thanks for helping.
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
:victory:

I have finally found the solution!

I searched in the contacts.apk and added the following style:

<style name="TextAppearanceMedium" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff[COLOR="Red"]mycolor[/COLOR]</item>
