No way, didn't know that, is the audio effect there or is it just a toggle?

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

I did the edit, but it looks like it breaks BoomSound and there's no audio effect change when toggling either of the toggles in Settings while playing music with headphones connected. Bummer.. Would have been so awesome if Beats Audio did work, unless I edited the default.xml wrong.

So for Sense 6 it looks like Dialer, People, Clock, Mail, and Weather carry their own themes and guess what? We have broken pngs naturally... If you guys don't have some drop in pngs I can use, I may just make my own and upload later.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Behold_this:
Most, if not all, broken PNG's can be found in com.htc.resources. I fixed HtcContactsDialer already to do my classic dialer mod. More than happy to post its resources when I get a moment, not in front of PC ATM.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
Nice haha I went and made my own 12 pixel white blocks to stand in place for each file and it works. Had to add my own lines though for the .9.png files though [emoji14]

Wish I had checked resources first.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Behold_this:
Here is the fixed HtcContactsDialer.apk.

found another one could not recompile after fixing all the broken pngs from Calendar.apk

would really appreciate if you can do that again for us. Thanks very much in advance.:D
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fisha21:
Hey bro. [MENTION=4860093]SoLdieR9312[/MENTION] just mentioned this one to me. Grab this zip and drop the files into Calendar.apk before decompiling, should work fine then :)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/37v7hdhacswju71/Calendar fix.zip?dl=0

Edit: haven't looked into the other broken apks yet, but the ones required for Calendar/drawable-xxhdpi folder look to be the same as was needed for the 4.4.x bases, so this zip might serve as a source for at least some fixed files for other apks too
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Onepagebook:
All done, and thanks for the help bro :D

now we got another problem from "htcpowermanager" font color problem...XD

Try to figure it out and will report back :)

OK done..it's all from main_power_history.xml, edit those two color, then we're done.

i am trying to recompile fixed dialer i found few posts back, because stock has so many problems with pngs and layouts

its strange how decompiling recompiling is so hard on htc system apps

never had this problem with samsung or stock apks

could somebody please guide

thanks
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
Not sure of that exact issue, but post 2 outlines info on apks that have issues with broken images etc.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] gitin:
hi,

thanks for the reply but i am getting this error only

to my surprise many have decompiled and recompiled dialer app successfully

but why me... what m i missing here ?

i get this error even after not changing any file

just decompiling recompiling gives me this error/......

tried Advanced apktool, vts, tickle everything with same error
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
I really don't know. Seems a pretty uncommon issue, not much on google about it. Someone reported the issue for apktool and ibotpeaches couldn't reproduce. Don't think I've ever come across that issue before.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] gitin:
thanks,

would you mind sharing phone apk which you successfully recompiled without any error ?

and what app and apktool version you use for de-recompile ?

thanks
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
OK, I've done my whole process from scratch. I know this is a bit long-winded, but I haven't had to fix broken images for many apks on latest base, maybe one or two. I'm using apktool 2.0rc4, and VTS beta (although released version will be no different)

- Decompile apk

- Replace broken images in drawable-xxhdpi, nodpi and maybe one or two others (there's not many)

- Delete false values from values-nodpi/drawables.xml and values-xxhdpi/drawables.xml

- Recompile.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] gitin:
Thanks again sir

I think i have taken files from insertcoin rom thats why m getting so many errors

I' look for stock framework and phone apk files and try again

Thanks again
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fisha21:
If you replace the broken images in the apk before decompiling, you don't even have to edit the xmls before recompiling again. Only one less step, but I'm so lazy that even one less step is a bonus ;)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] gitin:
thanks

but i was not getting png errors, that i fixed

but i was getting drawables errors where android:src @ drawables were not found in the drawables folder (xmls)

and there are like 100 errors

back to GPE and continuing my work with my theme
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
Yes, old habits die hard with me. I always find that when I have the apk decompiled, I discover the issues, so just fix it while it's in that state. Luckily I've had hardly any apks with issues on the latest base.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Same for me, calendar.apk works perfectly fine here. No errors what so ever.....strange

Hellow fellas, my theme is coming along quite well but there is one very annoying thing bothering me and if one you encountered it it would be great to get another hint !

I'm looking for the share tab background ! :(
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Basil3:
I can't even get that dialogue to show any more, don't know what i've done :D

While you're at it, I can't theme the gmail subject text in notification pulldown, and also action button icons (reply, archive etc)

Any clue on these would be good!
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
LOL !

haven't checked out any mail files yet. Had to sort out some other text readability issues first, will check it out asap ! :)

Guess you got this one already as its fairly easy but i will put it down here anyway so somebody might find it helpful :

inverted background colour at the "settings-power-battery usage-select an app" screen

yeah, those mail icons coming from mail apk, right? i only use gmail, so kinda annoying.

Isn't that ap_background_color or dark_ap_background_color from colors.xml of HtcContactDialer?

Hi

Im a little new to themeing but here is my problem.

I want to change the color of blinkfeed to transparent. Please correct me if Im wrong, but from reading this it sounds like I need to edit a hex color code somewere in Prism.apk. I've taken blind shots in the dark but havent had any sucsess. I'm also getting kind of confused because my Prism.apk is laid out diffrently than what is described in the guids. I think this is because there were changes in lollipop but I dont know for sure.

thanks

Phonegeekjr
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
The problem with that, is that transparency isn't a color.. So no hex code will resolve that I'm afraid. You have to modify the opacity level somehow and I'm sure there is someone here who has already done it ;)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
thanks for the quick reply

huh I would try to use #00000000 as a code for transparancy, but it wont work? Thats wierd I used it earlier when I built a transparrent appdrawer mod. Hmm will have to think about that.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
[MENTION=4753749]Jm@n[/MENTION] just corrected me on something I knew and had completely slipped my mind (I'm not much of a themer after all) [emoji14] The first two values define the opacity. 00 obviously being transparent and ff being the opposite. Then there is 68 and other values in between. So technically, 00000000 would be a fully transparent black since 000000 is the six digit color code for black. For what you are wanting to do however, there are other values you need to change and there should be instructions in the OP for making it happen.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
The op instructions don't add up with lollipop prism. It's like prism was modified in the new update
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
I personally only noticed slight changes in certain res/values files and most notably in styles.xml.. I may attempt a transparent version tomorrow just for fun to see what you're talking about.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
Styles.xml is what needs to be edited I think. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't have a lot of experience.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Colors.xml is what you need. The colors for backgrounds and such are in there. Here is also a list with hex transparent numbers.

:)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
Would u happen to know what line.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Can't help with that at this moment, only have my phone here.

:)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
No prob just was curious
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Neo:
I'd start with all the Category colors personally. Here's a hint though. What color is BlinkFeed now that you're wanting to make transparent? Find what looks like that color and change all of them to the transparency you want. VTS allows you to see little color tiles beside lines contain hex color codes for ease.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
What exactly do you want to have transparent? Got an example?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] -MightyMouse-:
Just blinkfeed
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
What in BlinkFeed? This blue ?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
Your probably right, I remember now, when I passed the original dex into the apk the problem was solved, forgot about it because I mostly hexedit resources. But I'm not really familiar with smali... Can you tell me where I need to put this new smali file?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Virtuous Ten Studio\External\Smali replace the ones that are in there and keep a backup of the old ones.

You'll need them for some apps like mms and possibly a few others.

Those apks contain corrupt images in various folders so they won't decompile. If you first replace the corrupt images in the hdpi folders , most correct images you can find in com.htc.resources, the apks will decompile fine.

that means its possible but why can't we ?

i am dying to theme htc apps but could not get rid of errors , all apktool gives different errors everytime

how cum recompiling GPE is so easy and HTC not ?

is it possible for you to zip all files com.resources, framework-res, framework-res-htc, apktool rc 4 or whichever you have used...all files so i/we could successfully de/recompile apps and work on them

Contact dialer has been an issue since the last base. Best thing to do is get a recent stock apk and copy your edits over. It will recompile. Keep a stock apk in a safe place for a back up. As long as you are working with the original apk, you can keep adding edits and compile. The issues occur when you try to decompile the new modded apk.

I'm still using my apk I have in VTS and apply that to any theme I'm making.
