Try reflashing your ROM/Kernel. If that doesn't work, you'll have to go to the Samsung Service Centre to check it out. (I've seen other threads similar to yours and most causes are SDS)

Questions like this belong in the Q and A thread, however, best rom threads also get closed as XDA is not a support site and members are expected to do their own research into what suits them best.

Read, study, try them all, only you can make the determination.

[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION] can u help me??

With your turorial we can only edit png BUT .9.png cant => must decompiling #. android.zip OR #. android.systemUI.zip OR #. com.sonyericsson.home.zip for which we want to mod!

So use apktoll for that => edit .9.png => recompiling Zip => recompiling apk => everything OK => but when put to phone => cant install anymore => replace => cant use

I dont know why??
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
You can edit 9.png - just check tutorials online...

HOW TO EDIT 9.png"

If your decompilig and recompiling process went well - it must work.

What you can do, if you can't install apk, install app called zipsigner

ZIPSIGNER MARKET LINK and sign your edited app to your framework.

Then try to install it ;)

Edit : you can use this tutorial for zipsigner app

Ok thanks u so much! I will try Zipsigner

By the way i have already know how to edit. 9.png. My problem that is after recompiling ok i cant use this apk anymore!

And another question!

Have u try to mod stock Z1 4.3 theme?

I have try and the color.xml not in res/value. It in the zip inside asset folder => decompiling this zip and will get color.xml => Change the color code such as Red to Yellow => recompiling zip => recompiling apk => put to system/app => restart ==> color not change, JUST LIKE STOCK => I dont know why?

Can u try and tell me?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] will know better but I'll try to explain.

Color.xml is only for signing the color not for using it.

You have to set color in color.xml and than you have to "call" this color in style.xml, layout or manifest...

You could change already assigned color in color.xml - but I'm not sure it'll work. (I'm guessing you tried that)

Android use only two modes for colors - dark and light, not colors - themes.

All other colors (in settings, taskmanager or systemUI) we can change by changing png's or editing smali files.

Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
If you meant black by black background, we already said that.

It cannot be done from theme engine.

To be precise, it can be done but not like you want or need.

If we do that and set dark background without changing framework or systemUI or even settings.apk we would have black/dark background and black fonts - and that's not so nice when you try to read black fonts on black background ;).

First we need modified framework or settings.apk (maybe even both) to show white fonts, then we could MOD any themes to have black background (in settings, email, sms....)

You have one MOD for that so try that.

If there will be enough interest for this, I'll make that but for now, there's no.

I released few MODs and tutorials and even there's 15k (15 000) opening/watching only few guys said "tnx" so I believe it's not good enough or something similar.

Tough crowd or lack of manners - try to figure out, I can't.

Everyone is whining there's no ROMs, MODs and themes.... [MENTION=5076195]jfxperias[/MENTION] built ROM and.... Well nothing, there's no appreciation for that also.

Few guys made themes, awesome themes for 4.3 - only few guys said tnx...

Guys, support devs, themers and moders - they sacrifice their own time and do a great job for you...

It doesn't cost you nothing to say tnx to them or me...

We are losing interest if you just download and leave...

So don't be leacher, post reply, say something and press tnx button.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] PSychomaruxXx:

TUTORIAL

Guys, when you learn something and create - release it for all others...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
I second this motion!

In the spirit of this I would like to share the following info.

If you can find a drawable or xml that you would like to modify in the framework-res, system ui, or home, and it's not in a decompiled theme, you can still change it.

Just add the drawable in the same folder as the framework/system ui/home in android.zip/system ui.zip/home.zip and recompile.

If it's an xml again, just mod to your liking, and place in the correct folder.

Recompile everything as you would, and now you can change. So much more

Sorry if this was already known....

Also, think you put the wrong link.

Mate, I need your help.

I think I could add transparency to whole status bar (in all apps) but can't decompile systemui.zip.

I found line in systemUI\res\values\drawables.xml line <item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#ff000000>/item>

I think if we change ff00000 to #00000000 we could get transparency in all apps.

But as I just said - can't decompile properly.

Does anybody know how to change system colour the default light blue colour? While changing theme changes accent colour but not system blue colour.. hope somebody help me. thanks..
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Also, one more thing.

If you are using Xperia Launcher 2.0.6b, like me and my themes you can decompile com.systemUI.zip.zip and open \res\values\drawables.xml

Now you can see underlined values to whichever color you like.

I set all to #00000000 - which is 100% transparent.

You can find on Google HEX codes for all colors and set pink if you like or... let's say 50% transparency (#80000000), full opaque (#ff00000000)

Save, recompile and enjoy ;)

It shouldn't be in my experience but seems 4.3 comes with issues.

You don't know of a working apktool for 4.3 would you? I can't even get the SemcGenericUXPres.apk installed.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Don't get this?

Apktool works with 4.3 files.

We are all working with it.

For framework recompiling you have to patch few xmls in it but to install it on PC or decompile it - apktool is working great.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Not for me it isn't (Z1 Compact) as it wont install the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk so other apks are failing when trying to decompile.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
That's something different, Z1 and Z1c doesn't have same firmware so I'm not sure why you have problems with it.

4.3 (290 or 136 firmware) from Z1 is O.K with latest apktool.

Google apktool thread on XDA and try to see do you have latest version or try to found there someone who could help you with that.

BTW, you tried with other framework and semcgeneric files?

From Z1 or Z?

I'll give that a try as it's about the only thing left to try until this apktool gets updated.

It looks like png's for status bar is taken from system, not from theme and override my settings.

Should I check in framework?

I probably accidentally removed line in public xml and pnd from drawable folder and now my theme use system settings for that.

You need some help?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] unmaskedfalesh:
i am editing the themes that are available in play store but without root some elements cannot be changed like soft keys and other icons also accent color is not working all my themes are getting default Blue color...

and thats because the default SystenUI.apk is opposing it.

thats wat i wanted to tell.

and about help sure i would like to get some.

Can you please let me know which file should be edited to get the desired accent color to my theme?

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Sure...

To change the theme accent-

Go to assets folder of theme and decompile com.sonyericsson.uxp.zip

Go to res/values/colors.xml

You'll see this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<color name="somc_theme_accent_color_dark">#ff4038ff</color>

<color name="somc_theme_accent_color_light">#ff4038ff</color>

<color name="somc_accent_color_neutral">#ff4038ff</color>

</resources>

Chage HEX color codes to whatever color you wish.

Save

Recompile com.sonyericsson.uxp.zip

Copy it back to theme/assets (delete old one)

Recompile apk and sign it with ZipSigner (the easiest and fastest app signing)

No matter you are rooted or not you'll not be able to see assets change

- there's something in custom ROMs that enables custom themes to work.

- we tried to find out that but, for now, no luck.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] unmaskedfalesh:
i tried changing but no use...thanks though for help
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
As I said - only custom (stock based) ROMs could show theme like it should be.

We don't have keys to sign theme, Sony protected Xperia firmwares and demanding to sign all themes developers built.

So if Sony won't approve your theme and sign it with their private keys - you theme won't work on plain stock ROM.

We would need ROM developer (niaboc79, monx, iHackers) to tell us what did they do and which files they patched to understand how they (accidentally) managed to disable signature check.

We patched services.jar to disable signature checking but that wasn't very helpful...

Niaboc79 tried something but nothing for now, I tried few things myself but, as I said - nothing for now...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] unmaskedfalesh:
i appreciate ur efforts n all devs..lets hope we soon see some changes.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
That would be great.

We'll have all things sort out once we get Kitkat.

We are all waiting Z1 to get stabile and "final" Android release so we could develop our ROMs, MODs and themes without updating it every few days.

Z1 still waits to be real flagship ;)

It's very hard to work on something like framework editing or even theming when Sony constantly patching and changing firmware.

It's just waist of time to work on something it won't work on next update.

Kitkat will be out soon and then, I'm sure, we'll have fun :)
