i looked at xml's and there's where they pointed me. so i just colored that and now i have gray instead of blue. i themed regular dialer which comes with aosp roms. also try to look at values/colors from line 29 to 39 if you have some black xml there, it shouldnt be.

btw, can you help me with theming settings into white? i found all icons and inverted them to black, and changed background and top header to white, but i cant seem to find how to change text colors. can you tell me where to look?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Aashuk Mehta:
You said the zip has a framework file

Every rom has a different framework file

Which framework file is used in your zip

Asking such questions to avoid bootloop
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
sure, tomorrow, but you can compare my settings file to yours, it's in the styles.xml mainly.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
you said you're on stock rom. this is for stock rom, 4.4.2 for nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
i looked only in value/colors, but yours are not changed at all. so ill check styles.xml tomorrow and contact you if i dont find it. thanks. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aLNG:
thanks donjamal for this theme! is it possible to use dialer picture like GoogleDialer png?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
I'm not sure i understand what you mean, sorry

Can you make a revert back flashable zip
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
i could but i'm working until 5PM CET.

it would be a lot easier if you would just create a backup in recovery and restore your system (you won't lose any of your data as long as you just restore the system - backup & restore -> advanced restore -> system). this is something everyone can manage own their own and it's a pretty straightforward process.

making a backup before every mod you apply should be standard process imo and it doesn't hurt anyway, to keep at least backup on your "sdcard". i know they are huge in size but if you keep only the most recent, you should be ok to go.

Bootloop on newest nightly CM11.:-\ But great idea! :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aLNG:
what I mean is to use phone icon picture in stead of the one in the dialer pad
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
most likely due to framework-res.apk - try to manually place the files in the proper folder but not the framework-res.apk or remove the framework folder from the settings zip and flash it afterwards
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
sorry, it seems, my brain is still on holiday cuz i still don't get what you mean :D you wanna use the app icon (the blue phone) instead of the white one on the dial pad?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
i looked at your styles.xml and put them in mine, but i have plural errors when compiling. so im stuck now, because i cannot resolve that issue. if you can, i would like to ask you if you can try to theme my settings apk? its from purity rom, i would send you framework and settings apks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
Sure, i can give it a go. Framework is only needed for a couple of images maybe, in stock, it's only the printer icon. :) but no promises, especially for ETA, since my holiday is over

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] witekto@:
I removed framework-res.apk and flash zip. Now I have white dialer and settings :D but in settings I have options only from stock ROM, I had a lot more in CM version:eek:. When I flash whole CM ROM again everything got back. I'll stay with dark style for a while... :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
Well yeah, those have to b readded or themed as well since this apk is from stock Rom. Upload your apk and I'll see what can I do. No promises though :)

GoogleDialer updated. update contains fix for the black action bar of the dialpad. enjoy!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Desno365:
Fantastic! Thanks for your work ;)

Have you solved the problem with apktool?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
thanks a lot!

yeah, i used the keep folder thingy when building the apk, and for some reason, it didn't change certain xml's. if i go without the keep folder option, it seems to be working fine :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
here you go. files are from purity rom. you really dont need to edit pngs, i can do that. i only have trouble with changing styles.xml. i get error when trying to compile after changing something in there. hope you will have more success. :)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ym1evnmc3fs3o3r/FrameSet.rar
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
which xml and what did you try to change?

Edit: sorry, i saw it's the styles.xml, lol, I need glasses :D will look into it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
styles.xml. i added black text colors there like it shows in tutorial, and in your theme. but i get plural and some other errors when compiling.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
check your pm, mate, and please report back whether it works or not.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
to all those who are on purity rom and are in the mood of experiencing, there's the settings.apk. unzip, rename to Settings.apk then follow manual installation process. please be aware, icons are not themed yet, they are white hopefully on white background.

i don't have purity rom so i can't test it. if anyone tries it, please report back:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
i just tested it with my black icons. its working superb! thanks man. :) now, if you are ok with that, i would like to include it in my theme for purity rom. i would give proper credit ofcourse. :) also, if its possible i would give you a hex color code for a white background, i dont want it to be fully white. what do you say? only one problem, like you mentioned in OP, white text on white in google account, but thats not a big deal for me though. ill try to find out where to fix it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
Sure, go ahead. Pls link to the thread, if that's not too much to ask for.

Regarding Google privacy settings, that must be in one of Google's app within the gapps package, I believe.

As for the hex code, sure, just tell me what to change. Also, that's gonna b only tomorrow, 1:30am here, time to sleep :)

Sent from the outer space, delivered by an android using a nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
Yeah, it was late here too. :p hex color is #f1f1f1

Also, for that white on white, i think it could be related to google services app, because exactly the same options you have there.

did it work?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
yeah, its working. now im not sure which to use, fully white or not so white. :D thanks for your help, ill contact you again if i encounter some problems. :)

EDIT: one problem i noticed. Backround is not equally white from top to bottom. It has a transition from pure white to f1f1f1. Could you make it fully f1f1f1? Or tell me which xml is that and i will change it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
effin hell, how comes it works for you and it doesn't for me?! i can't understand this stupid things. i spent the last hour on trying to fix this damn color for myself (i'm making "xperia white" theme now and regardless of what i change now, nothing goes through).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
I edited my post. Problem is that you changed only one value probably for background. Or it directs to png in framework. Ill check it out now

EDIT: change "background_holo_light.png" in framework, drawable-nodpi folder, into a color you want, it uses that png for settings background

Sent from Pure Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
that is really strange. in that case, it should not even change the color. for me, it's all white. anyway, the colors are in the framework-res.apk then, here: res\drawable\background_holo_light.xml - it's really simple, just enter the start and end colors for the gradient (obviously the same for both to have a solid bg :) )
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
for me its "background_holo_light.png". new purity is up. i will upload new settings.apk for you later so you can make it white. is that ok?

here is link. :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
i'm not sure why do you want to upload it to me :)

do you know where to change the text on the wifi, bluetooth and developer options switches? i can't find it :(

thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
Because i always get compile error when i make changes to styles.xml. but i can change and compile same apk that you previously compiled. So im asking you to make white background and black text in settings app, again. :)

I found it in frameworks xml, but it did change many other stuff too, its not the right solution. So i didnt investigate furthure.

Sent from Pure Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
can you let me know what you changed from and to what? i can look into it then. thnx

about compiling it again, sure.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
You didnt understand me. I can decompile/compile settings.apk which you compiled with changes i asked. But i cant compile stock settings.apk when i edit styles.xml to make it the same like you did.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
this is what i replied on: "I found it in frameworks xml, but it did change many other stuff too, its not the right solution. So i didnt investigate furthure."

if you show me your log, i'll check what the problem is, but i guess it's the same as i told you before. i removed those 2 dummy values and i can recompile it as many times as i want.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
oh, sorry, i missread it. :) when will you be able to make white latest settings apk i posted?

i dont remember now, but its in framework, values/colors, i think somewhere around "dim" names, but i might be wrong thoug. i searched a little bit and i saw they mentioned that they would need to make own style for that.

EDIT: wait a sec, i might have some success with compiling.

EDIT2: yeah, i made it this time, its working alright. Thanks for your help mate ;)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
well, if you don't have a modded settings (other options added to your settings apk), settings i believe should work as it is.

the same with dialer, i think it should work as it is. if you are ok to try, give it a go. if it doesn't work out, please upload framework-res.apk from system/framework, GoogleDialer.apk & Settings.apk (and respective .odex files if any) from system/priv-app folder and i'll give it a go.

Hey, awesome job bud. Do you think you would be able to make a commit on GitHub so that guys like me could possibly include it into our ROM? Thanks man
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
Thanks :)

Well sure, despite being a hobby coder myself, I never used github. It'll look into it. But there are some issues in the first post that I did not yet solved regardless of my days of research and tries :)

Thank you so much sorry for late reply :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] soccerfan6789:
Thanks but that isn't what I meant by uploading it to GitHub. What I meant is what you changed from the stock dialer aka forking the stock dialer and commuting the differences. This isn't really helpful because I don't know what's changed and what's the same and would be close to impossible to find the differences. So bottom line, I need the things you changed from the stock dialer. Thanks for taking the time to attempting to put it on GitHub though :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
i believe so, the only thing is the images have to be changed in the xxhdpi. if you can upload your files, i can try it - however, i can't test it as i don't have a nexus 5 and others are before you in the queue and i also wanna update github. so if you can be patient, i surely can look into it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tallo03:
okay thanks!

i can wait, work first on the other devices in the queue

hi,

started to look into it but your styles.xml is full of things i don't have in the stock rom and i can't see what i'm chaning since i don't have the rom. is it 4.4? can you send me screenshot of your settings app? maybe from as much screen as you can?

thanks!

this is very similar in size to the stock settings app. have you tried flashing them? if not, could you? make sure to create a backup before doing so.

i also need your framework-res.apk from the system/framework folder.

#ff545454 where ff is android's requirement to tell i guess the opacity of the color. so the hex code is #545454
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Devin Cuthbertson:
I guess I should have been more specific, I'm sorry. I meant the light gray that's in all the Google apps like chrome uses a lot of it and I think one of the themes uses a lot of it so I wanted to make my nav bar and status bar match it

Cool man no pressure. If you could do it it will be great, if not still thumbs up for the stock one

Just wanted to know if it's possible or not
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
sure it is possible, almost done, building the apk now but i can't test it and some icons you'll have to recolor in the apk, since i don't have photoshop or paint shop on my company laptop :)

edit: can you try this: https://mega.co.nz/#!BlBnyJIa!ZlbGrVx4oNtAPUvFvEfORCGDNAAZOiKjPKoF_rzZuWs - you have to install in manually, just unzip, rename it to Settings.apk and copy it over to system/priv-app/. make sure you backup the original (rename it then paste it to system). set proper permissions and reboot.

let me know. would appreciate some screenshots.

Edit: downloaded and I must say it worked But not perfectly
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Aashuk Mehta:
Could you make the top bar white too?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] donjamal:
as i said, the icons are something that you could replace in the Settings.apk manually using winzip, i don't have photoshop or paintshop on my company laptop, sorry for that. might try to fix them for you though.

as far the top bar goes, it should've changed so i have no clue why it didn't, i'll have to look into it. i'll check that once i get home from work.
