You need to copy the .pngs inside the respective folders and also do xmls editing

i don't know.. that resources were did by another xda user who had problems with mine
[Android Themes] Sk.D:
Oh thanks for the info,So I have to edit all that settings.apk and framework-res.apk etc xml......!!!

Do we have a guide for adding reboot ,recovery,bootloader menu to power button . I searched but didnt get for kitkat one.:confused::confused:
[Android Themes] :
great, but I can't use apktool :) ( I'm going to ask moderators to give to You a thread under the first, so You can post all Your integrations/with screenshots) :)

I can't understand what You mean :/ there are mods in OP,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49990490&postcount=2

or You can flash Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies and use the theme by rush25 if You want an updated light UI, I think it's the best solution

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rush25.kitkatwhite
[Android Themes] :
i don't understand what's the problem xD :)

Do You want to flash a mod or a Rom

what is Your rom now????

If YOu want to switch Rom just make a nandroid backup if you want a revert, or flash back the custom rom after full wipe
[Android Themes] JumperPunk:
I'm running a d2vzw here, so I haven't used the downloads, but if I read the posts right, those are not ROMs that are posted, they are just the modifications. The mods are mods are flashable zips and are specific to different ROM builds, so you need to be sure you pick the right one. Does that make more sense?
[Android Themes] rush25:
use cm , omni , aokp or any rom with blue and install my theme :)
[Android Themes] rush25:
you need xPosed :)
[Android Themes] rush25:
use hk theme manager :)

[Android Themes] TechBurner:
Easiest way would be to change the theme from holo to holo.light.. I hope you under stand
[Android Themes] :
Yeah, [MENTION=5350611]tallo03[/MENTION] , I added back a link to a donjamal's guide in OP

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/guide-theming-stock-android-t2616963

I won't add these kind of instructions (e.g. white ui, return to holo blue and so on ...) because the only goal of my guide is to complete the light theme and let You to understand how You can theme Your android experience according to your wishes, and white settings ui is not part of the stock android experience... but, If You badly need it You can follow donjamal guidelines. Be sure to make all the settings icons grey (the best way to get all the icons properly themed is to use gimp, open them inside gimp, recolor from white to holo blue light using colorify option, 33b5e5, then use the black&white effect to get the correct grey) or You may have visual artifacts (white on white it's so ugly!!!!). Pay attention, because You won't find all icons inside Settings.apk, if You're on KK, some of the icons shown is settings (e.g. the print icon) are also inside the framework-res.apk ;)

I'm sorry guys I didn't reply to all Your questions, but I don't have much time and also have some health problems. Hope You will understand .)
[Android Themes] Diaz1999:
You mean my Settings?
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
I kinda like that man :)
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
I got a small problem that I can't seem to work out. I had previously followed this guide to change the look of a kit kat rom I was using. I switched to a different kit kat rom last night and thought i'd make the changes again. Everything has worked out fine except for the Dialer and Contacts apps. When I make the changes, compile and install the updated .apks, they don't show up in my apps list anymore. All the other .apks I changed work fine.

I did try and use the updated dialer app I was using on the previous ROM and it showed up except the end call button didn't work, but at least it showed up in my apps list. When I switched back to the upadted dialer that came with this ROM, it wasn't in my apps list anymore. I can live without the updated Contacts, but I really want to get away from the stock Dialer. I hate the blue and red bars.

Anyone got any ideas as to why it's not showing in the apps list?

Thanks......
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question ...but when you're putting the new dialer back from into priv-app you're setting the permissions for it correct? Also what ROM and phone you using? I have quite of few white ui themes I ported and may work for ya
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Yes, I checked the permissions just to be sure and they were set correct. It's a strange problem because as a test, I tried decompiling and recompiling the dialer without making any changes to the app itself and the result was the same despite no changes being made to the app. I tried signed and unsigned. I tried installing with root explorer and flashing a zip via recovery, all with no luck. It seems to be a problem with the compiling process based on all my tests, although all of the other apps (framework, settings, etc.) I changed using these directions worked perfectly. I can't seem to put my finger on what i'm missing.

I am using an HTC Incredible 4G with the Team EOS KK Rom. If any of your ports might work, i'd gladly give them a shot. Like I said above, I know the dialer app I themed from my old KK Rom (CodefireX I believe) sort of worked. It at least showed up in the app list, but the end call button was not functional.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
Hmm that's strange...you using the latest tools etc? You can try this but may not work https://copy.com/3PN1BGUBWogCVja
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Nope, it didn't work but thanks for letting me try it. At least with this one the dialer showed up in the app list, but I didn't get an incall screen.

I'm going to update all of the tools I use just to be sure, but I have a feeling that is going to be a wasted effort. The tools i've been using worked fine on my previous KK rom so I can't see why they wouldn't work on this one. I think in the end i'm going to be stuck with the stock dialer and contacts apps, but i'm sure going to miss the themed ones I created. It took a lot of time and effort to put those together and I was kind of proud of myself for figuring out how to do it when I knew next to nothing when I started. That's what annoys me the most, the fact that I can't figure out this one.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
I have some free time today.. Hook me up with your dialer and I'll knock it out for ya

Sorry for my not correct post:(
[Android Themes] Rodger_Rulez:
Look at buttons "copy" "paste" "cut" on my screens not the text selection
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Thanks for the offer. I will do that whenever I have a chance in the next few days. Should I send you the dialer from my old KK ROM? That one shows up in the app list and works fine except for the end call button doesn't work. Or should I send you the one that comes with this ROM that I tried to mod. That one doesn't show up or work at all.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
Untouched dialer from the ROM you're trying to mod
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Okay, here is the unchanged Dialer.apk pulled directly from the Team EOS rom. It works fine flashed directly as part of the rom, but if I decompile it and recompile it without making any changes and try to install it, it doesn't show up anymore. Thanks for any info you can find out as to why it might be doing this.

How to change text color in manage applications

Settings ->Applications ->Manage Applications
[Android Themes] :
in OP, follow these changes to apply a new color to the pager

"\Settings\smali\com\android\settings\applications\ManageApplications.smali"
[Android Themes] :
maybe google search has his layout that overrides the framework one...

maybe new .dark drawable xml/white pngs for this dark layout ... something like this, I think (like in progress bar indeterminate...)

but i need decompiled google search.. .can you post it?????
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
Sorry can you grab me your framework-res.apk and I'll finish your dialer
[Android Themes] Rodger_Rulez:
No problem

Download

[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Thank you. I will give it a try right now and let you know how it works.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
Nice :) yeah let me know
[Android Themes] professor_proton:
You need to disable signature checking in services.jar if you want to resign the system apps and use them, with that you need to use the android-manifest and meta-inf folders from the stock apk
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Worked like a charm. Nice look too. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
No problem at all glad it worked :)
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
Since i'm fairly new to this stuff, i'm not sure what you mean by disabling signature check. Plus, I was using the stock app to try and theme the dialer so I thought it would already have the stock android-manifest and meta-inf file\folders. I will research your suggestion though and see if I can figure out how to do what you said and then maybe I can theme the dialer the way I want.

Thanks for the info...
[Android Themes] professor_proton:
After recompiling , if you've opened the apk using win rar or 7-Zip , you might have seen that it does not contain a meta-inf folder (these are the signatures) , and if you resign the apk these signatures are replaced by new ones (usually test ones) , basically whenever you'll push the resigned apk to your phone , system will check if its signatures match the originals (similar to the rest of the system apps) if they dont the system skips those apps and doesnt install them , disabling signature check forces system to ignore the changes and carry on as usual process, so after you recompile ,open the original and the modified apks youll see that in the modified apk, meta-inf isn't there, so what you have to do is drag and drop the 2 files that is android-manifest.xml and meta-inf folder from original to the modified apk

Hope this clarifies it a bit :)
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
It does clarify it, although the .apks already had the meta-inf and manifest file in them after compiling so they weren't missing. I tried doing what you said and pulled the meta-inf and manifest file from the original and now the apps do show up in the app list, but they don't have the correct name. For instance, instead of saying People for the contacts app, it says the com.android name, if that makes any sense.
[Android Themes] mrjaydee82:
Try using this...search on XDA for advanced apktool ...works great... set framework....decompile apk...make your edits...recompile apk...and resign ...it'll automatically keep your correct signature
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
I will do that right now. I've been using QuickMod to do all my decompiling\compiling\signing. Maybe I will have better luck with advanced apktool.

For framework you need to update your smali, backsmali and apktool and you wont get that error anymore. For genie widget look at drawable, loadingbar.xml, line 22, it says xml not formed well, you need to change that. For settings go to Settings\res\layout\

data_usage_bytes_editor.xml, line 5 has an error. Error: No resource found in sdk that matches the

given name (at 'text' with value '@*android:string/reboot_recovery'). You put something wrong here, check if thats the correct way, maybe you missed some letter or something.

For notification panel/drawer, how about this :D

Then the quick settings, still little bit broken (I don't have the L quick settings icons)

Why your notification panel/drawer theme like this?

Why it doesn't like the L original notification panel/drawer?

great work as usual! :highfive: :D
[Android Themes] alen1901:
because i didnt want to make it fully like android L (i wanted to put out my theme as soon as possible and with less then 2,3 bugs, for now only one bug). yours looks more correct but it will take a lot of work and time to put everything right. i dont have that time. ;)

If we're going to try and theme each of the system app to be like Android L , we're going to be creating millions of drawables to be like it , loads of styles would need to be created in each app, setting actionBar backgrounds , switches , header colors, cuz L has an API to recolor drawbles , so that's why there are million different colors :p

Still half cooked

I do, and everyone else that has the L system dump. Only problem is we couldn't decompile them yet since there's no tool for that at the moment. All we can do is just extract the pngs.
