hi.

anyone knows how to fix the "cut-off" folder display when using the 400dpi mode?

i'll attach a pic to see what i mean. i tried alot but no success so far.

exactly same display problem of folders on homescreen and in appdrawer.

i tried many hours without success. on m7 i could fix it by using the prism/systemui apk combo from one max t6.

on m8 it does not work. i guess it's related to the softkeys (someone pointed in that direction).

exact problem description:

folder icon background is displayed properly but too small (should be bigger towards lower right).

folder icons have the right size but are cut off in the lower right.

please help me out..

Hi Buddy, did ur using s6tb?

Had this problem when using sense6 toolbox (before i switched to ART) try to deactivate it and reboot...

I cant remember if its appdrawer grid size mod or transparent folder mod inside s6tb

i am testing ART mode currently. so no xposed framework for now.

the only thing i do is change display density in build.prop from 480 to 400.

so i can have the beautiful higher-density mode from the one max (t6) and have 5x5 homescreen.

testing this since months and trying to fix this folder display issue.

so far it's the only small issue with this mod i've found (also a small graphical glitch in settings->power).

i would love to be able to fix this.

I did... In resources change the drawalbe.xml for ap_background and ap_background dark to an image but this will cause lots of crashed and other apps have to be fixed... even settings itself... You have to redirect alot of the xml to [MENTION=294944]COM[/MENTION].htc:color/ap_background_color then you'll see your fantastic image you added into resources named ap_background_color thats what I did... just used the same name.

Hi

Is there any way to add coloring weather to HTC theme ? (for example when we choose green theme the weather icon change to green ):confused::confused::confused:
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ViNOK16Bit:
The weather icons are images without an overlay color so can't change them by selecting another theme.

I make colorfully stock icons weather

Can I add them to theme or when we select one of theme phone boot to recovery and flash the colorfully icon automatically to match with theme?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ViNOK16Bit:
Yeah you can just put them in a vrtheme zip and flash in recovery.

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
Not possible, the way you want. You could try to add an overlay color in some xml that's responsible for the icons. Which might be in some layout or drawable xml.. the way we did with the fonts, (which is not possible in drawable, as far as we know) though it might also involve Smali edits. I really don't know. Would be nice to find out..

These ones are themed and remove those are in data/app :)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] nashshafrulrezza:
I've look into it.. It now more too full font color Change.. It is dark primary in resources.. but it will change the whole Rom color.. which is not good to me.

You success make it change alone without touching any other font if I'm understand you right?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Pneuma1985:
Well thats the idea and ive done it on every build since sense 4.0 i think... Which this one should work to but it doesnt... so there is something else in play here it doesnt use the xml to control to the info/temp/location color it doesnt even use the com.htc.resources calls like you said it uses the htc primary font color... So what I'm gonna do is get the public id for the main primary font color and reverse search it in htcweatherclockwidget.apk it has to be in the smali. Then after I locate it the idea will be to make a new color in colors.xml add it to resources through resources manager use that id in place of the primary id its calling for. It'll be 0x2 in htcweatherclockwidget and in resources itll be 0x02 so brb will let you know. Well its not that one...

Wait isnt the darkprimaryfont white? Im looking for dark grey txt color sepcifically which im guessing is light primary font color.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] nashshafrulrezza:
The dark primary is for the temperature and place / date etc.. while the grey one is the weather status.. It control by darksecondaryfont.

In my opinion this is like when we went from gb-ics/ics-jb its always been a big hurtle for us themers no matter what first it was the m10's then it was the r.9's then its was something else they always throw up road blocks for us and we always knock them down. We are going to crack this just like we've cracked every other build htc has ever given us. This times it's a matter of us working together. The more we figure out the more we'll undo what they did. More specifically this time changing stuff is going to require at least a small understanding of smali and how to read and follow methods. Thats what is going to create the new divide in themer's its actually going to require you can look at and semi understand what your looking at whilst in smali.

Can you tell me where the font color is being called from for the weather widget? Also I can't find were the background is called from.

I was working on this last night and managed to get all three widgets to white and transparent with modifications only to clock widget apk for both day an night except for the text and the background in the weather widget.

Night

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer.

You need to follow the Op guide to make it use only one of the common_panel png. Then mod in smali to make the clock or weather font color stay in one color.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] E.Cadro:
I did follow the guidelines that's how I got the other two widget to work. The problem is the smali for weather widget does not have any of those in it it's being called from somewhere else. The only thing I could change in the weather widget smali was the the weather icons.

You can just make the divider lines transparent in colors.xml of HtcContactsDialer.apk and Phone.apk. I believe the entries are called divider_line_grey or divider_line_black

Overlay for common_radio_rest_light

Has anyone found a way to turn off the category_color overlay for the common_radio_rest_light button in resources?

I found where it's getting drawn from, Styles with a drawable reference to arrays and a color reference to ?category_color. If I change the color, nothing happens. If I try to redirect the drawable, I get a force close in Settings relating to a smali reference from the com.htc.soundprofile.provider. I don't even know if that's an actual apk.

Any ideas?

Panels in Blinkfeed/Settings

Has anyone managed to find out how to redirect these panels from framework to either Prism or resources?

These are the common_dialog_top, bottom, and middle (another settings) and it destroys an inverted theme. I have searched endlessly throught Prism smali but I can't find any reference for public ID.

Any help, please?

Edit:

Resolved with a huge thanks to [MENTION=5386198]Mikanoshi[/MENTION]

You'll need to search in the Prism smali - com\htc\plugin\news\NewsDialogActivity.smali

Search for

new-instance v20, Landroid/app/AlertDialog$Builder;
const/16 v21, 0x3

There are two hits. For me the second one resolved my issue. Change 0x3 to 0x2. This will call on the Holo theme for these panels and not the Holo.Light

I did some like the same thing in styles.xml , though it only worked for the auto refresh menu. For this I changed android:styles/theme .holo.light to theme.holo

I couldn't find a similar way to do this for the menu of your screen. Thanks for this
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
That was one of the first things I tried hoping to redirect the Holo.Light to the Holo theme to get the dark pngs but that didn't work. I knew it was drawing frameworks but I just couldn't put my finger on it how it was. Glad that is sorted.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I thought about your message and to be quite honest, it would entail hours of several tutorials instructing on how to make a semi-transparent theme. There is not just one apk involved. You'll need to theme every app that has its independent colors along with systemUI, resources.res, and framework.res, and perhaps jar's. As well, you'll need to find associated smali, drawable, and layouts related to the theme.

My advice would be to take a small bite in learning how to theme first. Read through this thread and other theming threads to get a strong understanding on the concepts and the theming relationship with your ROM before attempting a huge project like the one that you are asking about. Learn what the colors do, how xml's function, and the different ways to manipulate pngs. Doing this first will greatly increase your knowledge on theming and you'll become less dependent on other themers for answers.

Myself, I started out as yourself, asking other themers questions that I could have found out myself by reading through some threads and researching. I'm sure I've irritated a few a long the way but in the end, self learning is really the best way to go. I hope you take this as a positive note and you do continue to make your theme. We are here to help out with the more difficult edits and theming nightmares. This thread is designed to provide helpful theming instructions above the beginner level.

Cheers...

Where are images?

Hi guys,

Hope you can help.

I have ages to wait till I can upgrade and get a new phone (definitely going to be HTC again)

I went with a Samsung last time after using HTC for years and am currently trying to build a HTC theme which I can use on it in the meantime.

I'm looking for the image files from the quick settings toggles (as per screenshot) so I can resize them and replace the corresponding files in my Samsung ROM. I've got an M8 sense 6 ROM but can't seem to find these images in it anywhere, can anyone please point me to where they are located please?

Many thanks
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
You'll find those icons in the systemUI.apk. The names are for example icon_btn_extreme_saver_dark_l. You need to look for all the dark_l images.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] wildcardspv:
Thank you, I've been through systemui more than once but to be honest my brain is fried at this point. I'll check for those files tomorrow, thanks again, I really appreciate it :)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
For my device, you'll find them in the drawable-xxhdpi folder about 1/3 the way down. You can't miss them because there are light icons (dark colored) right next to the ones that you need, the dark_l (white icons). Don't ask why they are named like that, it's just an HTC way of thinking.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] vasy78:
Nobody dares to tell me how I make semi-transparent settings? Please in android 4.4.3:crying:
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
OK, I don't know if this had been addressed directly, but one nagging things that came with the arrival of KitKat was light popups. It was a constant thorn in the side of inverted themes, and I must admit I've wasted a fair amount of time trying to make these popups dark, but it always would lead to issues elsewhere. The main problem was not in changing the popup, but changing the text colour. As soon as you changed the text to white, you ended up with white text on white in third party apps.

To cut a long story short, I've found the solution......and would you believe it's literally changing one letter in smali! I haven't seen any problems so far with 3rd party apps, but let me know if you come across any issues.

Anyway, the edit:

Framework2.jar

\com\android\internal\app\ResolverActivity.smali > line 534 on mine (although I know I'm using a non-stock framework2)

invoke-static {v1, v2}, Landroid/util/Log;->w(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)I

const v1, 0x103031a

invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ResolverActivity;->setTheme(I)V

All you have to do is change the b at the end of the public ID to an a, as shown above. This changes the theme of the popup from Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.Dialog.Alert to Theme.DeviceDefault.Dialog.Alert.

Screenshots attached. Have included dropbox settings, as I know this was problematic in the past, and would lead to white text on white background with other methods.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Raymond Ebertt:
Mate. I'm going to say this to you as clearly as I possibly can. No.

Please stop flooding the thread with your repeated question. Thanks
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] poondog:
Come one man, use the search function, on xda, google, and experiment like these guys have done. As Raymond said, start with some small things, maybe even use someone else's theme.. you'll build up if you try, and then you'll be like these guys. I've been in known Ray since the start of this themes and what he has learnt in the past year is amazing. Everyone has to start somewhere, you gotta run before you can walk

I remember Ray complaining about how there were not many "how to theme xxxxx" guides on xda.. thats because everyone does things differently and learns on their own, thats what sets people apart. My advise is to start with small things, like the statusbar then gradually transition into bigger projects.

Obviously the guys can't spill all their years of knowledge into a single guide

Cheers, good luck
