Hi guys

Can any of you tell me where I can find these images talk more about it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Tired Storeman:
I would say that they are pulled from their individual apks, Message, gallery and contacts
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bunnys7679:
I get them in the status bar changed but if I do not take them, although the form of the pull on but the colors of the icons

since i've upgraded to a nexus 6 a short while ago and obviously supporting [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] Pure Nexus Rom, i've noticed many users lamenting the fact that there are a lot of Layers UI and Navbar icon packs but not many CMTE UI and Navbar icon packs.

i made up this converter to convert these Layers theme apks to CMTE theme apks.

The Layers apk must be the actual apk itself (not an apk that contains an assets folder containing the actual theme apk. if it is just pull out this apk from the assets folder)

simply extract the RRO2CMTE Converter zip

copy any Layers UI/Navbar icon apk to the Convert_This folder. (i've included 2 Layers icon apps you could try)

run the CONVERTER.bat file and your new MyTheme.apk (found in the Converted_and_Signed folder) can be copied over to your device and installed.

then when going into the theme engine, you'll see the new theme. just select StatusBar and/or Navbar (only once did i need to hit the "restart UI" - must of had too much going on)

i've tried with a half a dozen layers theme UI and Navbar apks without any issues so let me know if something doesn't work for you

otherwise....enjoy!

EDIT: MUST HAVE JAVA INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER IN ORDER FOR THE SIGNER.BAT TO WORK AND OUTPUT A WORKING APK. TO CHECK: OPEN A COMMAND PROMPT AND TYPE "JAVA -VERSION" (BUT WITHOUT THE QUOTES) IT SHOULD DISPLAY THE JAVA VERSION INSTALLED. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO INSTALL JAVA YOU CAN PERFORM THE SAME BY FOLLOWING >>HERE<<

V2 - cleaned up base.apk and includes the modded .bat file for java-less
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Thebear j koss:
Sweet [MENTION=3497573]mikeymopar[/MENTION]. I'm running Pure on my N7 will definitely check this out. is there a navbar repository somewhere in the layers community that you know of as i have only seen a few on the play store.

Hail ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
:o man.....i didn't think the resident themers and hackers that support [MENTION=4412122]Bubba[/MENTION] would care much for it :silly:

i was thinking more for the guys one step away from doing this on their own and are curious to see the "how". i made it as simple and straight forward as possible. just gotta make sure you get the original flashable down to the basic layer.apk

not sayin' that if you change up your UI and Navbar enough it wouldn't be handy to have :D :D :D

edit: blah, too early in the morning. didn't see the "is" part in your post. i never used layers before 3 weeks ago so i only tried the ones HERE in a thread that lists many. made a few myself but i'm liking cmte a bit more (got a blackish/light on the orange one started)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bunnys7679:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Awesome work Mikey. Thanks for sharing it here with us.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Fouad Aslam:
Hi,

Thank you for this great tool. I ran the conveterter.bat and it ran ok but the created folder is always empty and has no theme apk in it. I tried with both your provided layer apps. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
ages ago i made 'em for Alliance themes. just recently resized them to xxxhdpi. i've attached a zip file with them already sized at 80x80 along with a pdf file of the native vector images from when i made them so you can resize/color/ whatever with absolutely zero loss in resolution (won't pixelate). you can edit it with any vector program. I use Xara but tested it with Inkscape and it opens fine (you just gotta ungroup it all like a million times). haven't tried with illustrator but should work too.

also in the pdf are the matching battery images that you can adapt for use with 3minitbattery

just for you Bubba, just for you. well.....except for a link in Pure Nexus 6 and 6P threads pointing back to here tryin' to drum up a little business for you guys :D :D :D :D :cool:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
all the supporting files in the RRO2CMTE zip still within the folder?

and you copied one and only one of the test apks directly into the Convert_This folder without modifying it?

unless 7-zip is giving you grief. I originally made it with winrar (much easier and always works) but couldn't include it cos it's a paid for program :( i've always disliked 7-zip. as long as the above two statements are correct, maybe dl 7-zip and place it inside the main folder replacing the one i included.

i've run it on 3 machines without issue so i'm kinda stumped.

edit: hmmm. do you already have 7-zip AND have 7-zip set in your computer's path (environment variable)? dunno if that might mess things up a bit if it is cos the converter bat file structure is running from within the main foler
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Fouad Aslam:
Thanks. Yeah only file in the convert_this folder at a time, no modifications.

I had a go with winrar as well but same; empty output folder. Thanks for your help anyways, ill keep trying. I think maybe its got something to do with java or stuff:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
You can't do anything with winrar as the batch file is written for 7zip. You don't need to unzip anything other than the main download (unless that's what you used winrar for). Should be plug and play. Put an apk in the folder and run the batch
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
I just gave it a try using 7zip to unzip it. I copied one of the apk's into the Convert_This file. Clicked the Converter bat and then 1 as the command. Worked perfectly for me although it does me no good on Kit Kat TW. But it looks to be an awesome tool. Now maybe if I can get my 6P I can put it to the use it was intended for.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
thx for confirming that it works, Bubba. if there were issues i'd be as sad as...well..... as sad as you on a friday night holding an empty bottle of maker's (or are you still dry. good for you if you are :) )

and i didn't see much difference between the 6p and 6 so watching amazon, every once in a while the price for a 32g drops to 250.00. that's when i snagged one (pissed that i missed the black friday special when they went for 199.00)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
:p Only time I was ever dry is when I was on pain meds, which didn't last long. Love me some Makers. I'll keep an eye out for a deal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
Hey thanks for replying. I tried the Batman and Coalfield and put both of them into the folder, ran the bat then hit "1". It went through the whole process and generated a signed and zip folder but it is still empty. Everything seems to be working, just no .apk
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
and you still have the 7-zip folder and all of its files in the main converter folder? the converter.bat needs to have 7-zip in the main folder. I've attached a few pics. one displays (at the bottom of the window):

everything is ok

now signing basecm.apk

conversion completed

one displays:

errors such as 7zip is not recognized and signer.bat is not recognized

this error will occur if 7zip folder isn't still in the main folder

main folder should look like the third attachment. you can't remove or rename anything (other than the name of the theme apk tho it must always end with .apk)

edit: and as a side note, only one layers theme apk at a time in the Convert_This folder or images will all be duplicated
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
This is what ended up happening. Says something about java, but everything seems like it processed. Did not see apk in new folder though. attached screenshot.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
ahhh. open a command prompt and type "java -version" without the quotes. you should see the version displayed unless you don't have java installed. kinda need that for signing the new apk so it's erroring out at the signing part. guess i should mention that in the dl post

sorry. i assumed a little too much about everyone having java installed

dagnamit :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
ignore what was in this post minutes ago.

I am recent switch to aosp Pure Nexus myself, and I followed layers since it's start but never closely as i was always on touch wiz. when I switched to aosp I went right to CMTE because of some familiarity, most i know use it or have themes for it, and there is too much drama on the RRO side where I just couldn't be bothered. I'm familiar with theming and your tool is pretty nifty for me anyways that I can just load in whatever nav keys I like and make an easy switchable app out of them. I don't theme 1/4 as much as I used to, but every now and then I enjoy messing with stuff. thanks for the tool, i will probably try it out this weekend when I get some time on the pc. ? ?

Hail ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
Is the Layers to CMTE not working then since I don't have java ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
i figured out a way to skip the automatic signing part. i'll post up a modded convert.bat to replace the one that requires java

then you just need to install THIS apk that i tested to work. essentially the converter will output an unsigned apk that you'll copy to your device. then very easily sign it with ZipSigner and install.

give me about an hour or so to get home....

​

.....'sup

here's a modded converter.bat file named Converter_Unsigned.bat. just unzip and copy it to the RRO2CMTE folder alongside the regular CONVERTER.bat file.

run the new Converter_Unsigned.bat as you would the original. MyUnsignedTheme.apk will be generated and in the folder New_Converted.

copy this unsigned apk to your device and run the ZipSigner apk from Playstore.

choose in/out and find and select MyUnsignedTheme.apk.

rename the output file name if you want. the default "auto-testkey" option works fine for signing. press "Sign The File"

install the new signed app and using the theme engine (in settings as you would any other theme) check the StausBar and/or NavBar as you desire

a little more hassle this way but it works.

:p

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeprius:
Thanks for the information ! So this will convert .apk of Layers to work for .apk of CMTE ? This would be wonderful as a lot of ROMs are transitioning to CMTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
I believe this will only pull images and convert them to png.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Would it be Ok if a Note 4 owner asked a few questions here? I was in here before but I couldn't get past the decompile errors then my wife's illness got in the way. Well I've got past the compiling errors now. So far all I've done is change the colors of the header panel in the notification area and brightness slider in SystemUI and the header of the messaging app.

Now I'm trying to change the background color of the "Message app - Conversation List screen" and having no success. In \res\values\colors.xml I change "conversation_list_background" then recompile, push it into the proper directory in \system\privapp, set permissions and reboot. Nothing changes.

I find that the names of different colors.xml entries are pretty weird. The entry that changed the header is named "color_primary". Maybe there's an entry with a different name that I need to find but the one I tried to change looks pretty obvious to me. I've been searching but I can't find anything else that looks very likely.

Or, maybe there's something somewhere else that's over-riding it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Thebear j koss:
Android version needed. Marshmallow, lollipop, nougat (yeah right, not for 6 months at least. Lol)? Stock messaging app? Post a screenshot if possible, does the messaging app still have the option to change background in settings? Used to have a few choices and you could choose a custom background from gallery.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Of course you need that info. Sorry about that. It's Marshmallow and the stock Note 4 message app. You can change the background in the individual conversations but not the main conversation list screen. I'm trying to get rid of the white. I was able to change the headers though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Thebear j koss:
Ahhh. Ok. Got ya. That would be in 1 of the styles.xmls. Not sure which 1. Are you trying to invert it? You would need to change the parent theme from Theme.DeviceDefault.Light or Theme.Material.Light to whatever the dark theme is called from system. Probably just Theme.DeviceDefault or Theme.Material. I think, don't take my word on it. You can also look in the styles.xmls for android:background calls and see if they refer to something in colors or if they pull from system framework.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
That worked! Thanks man. You da man, oops, maybe I should say you da bear. Now there's just the small matter of dark text on the dark screen. Would that be in colors or styles?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Thebear j koss:
I would think styles. Whatever you changed in styles to get the bg dark, there should also be android:text or textcolor that points to a color in framework. If it says blah blah dark, change it to blah blah light. You are just inverting or making it the opposite of what it is. If you have white in the colors.xml you can also just change it from whatever it calls to, to [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]=white. Should do a global search in notepad ++ for all instances of [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:text and android:textcolor and see if there are any changes you need to make in any other xmls in layouts, drawables, and values folders. Also can do a global search for android:background or background= to see if there are any other changes you may need.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Lately I've been kinda shooting in the dark trying to find this stuff in colors.xml. I figured if I screwed it up too bad I can go back to the original and start over. I created my own problems with text colors. It looks like I have them pretty much straightened out. I didn't even have to start over believe it or not.

I have some questions. I go by the old adage "The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked".

I noticed in styles.xml some themes are labeled something like "theme.material.light". Does Marshmallow have like "theme.holo.dark" too? Could I change the material theme to holo and it pretty much change everything at once? I guess that's asking a lot, but?

I also noticed styles.xml points you to like [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]/color_primary where I was able to change the header color. I take it this is like a directory where I can find the entries I need to make the changes I want, right?

I really appreciate the answers you've already given me. I'll probably have quite a few more. I hope you don't mind.

You're talking about doing this search in "styles.xml" right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] scrappy610:
Use notepad to search the xml fober
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Cool. That's what I thought.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] scrappy610:
You can also use the search from Windows Explorer but you get better results with notepad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
Yeah I find I like Notepad++ a lot. I use it to update my hosts file too. I don't know how I ever lived without it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Thebear j koss:
1. No problem, happy to help if i can. Can't mess anything up really. Worst case scenario is apk won't build because of an error. Usually an easy fix if you can look at the log of apktool and find the error.

2. All themes are located in your framework res. Apps all pull their main theme style from there. Whatever else they add in is a layer added onto that base style or "parent" theme. When you change the parent theme from say material.light to for instance theme.holo or whatnot, everything from text, backgrounds, dialogs, pop ups, tabs, buttons, etc should pull from the newly changed theme. Samsung makes things a little tricky especially with their stock apps as they add touchwiz framework and some other little things. Usually just changing the main theme in styles from DeviceDefault or DeviceDefault.Light to something else like Theme.Material or whatever will change most of the app. Contacts and Phone are a bit more tricky as they rely on each other plus touchwiz framework and regular framework. If you get to know the themes in your framework res and what is contained in each (seems like a lot at first but you will see it really make sense the more you look into it), you will get a better understanding of what the base themes of apps are.

3. Do a global search of the whole res folder of your app for textcolor and android background. It willl search all xmls for those phrases in the app, then just browse through them and see if you need to change anything.

Yeah, material design took all the fun out of theming for me. I have no patience for hunting down tint colors when pressing an icon. I preferred just using an image. Everything is all layered over and hidden now. Such a pain in the butt. Just wait til google drops their new devices next month, you think things are horrible looking now, they will be getting worse.

I'm trying to change the background color on the S7Edge SPlanner app. I changed the selected entry shown in the screeny to "DeviceDefault". All it changed was the "calendar view selector dialog box". I would think if it was going to affect nothing but that little box it would be named more specifically. That name looks to me like it would change the whole thing. Why is it like that?

Update: Could someone please give me just a general idea about what I need to search for to change it? There's another entry called "App Theme" that I have changed to both "Material and Holo". It recompiled but made no change.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Try opening your Notepad++ use the search function. Use "find in files" enter the word background. Then use the small menu button to direct it to the res folder and let it search.

You can change things with styles but sometimes it takes a bit more. I always started with searching background and text color. That was just me lol. [emoji23] I'm old and stubborn.

This big green thing in this picture, is it called the banner, the action bar or what?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] scrappy610:
I'm not sure what its called on the note 4 to be honest. I know its in incallui on the note 5 though. Have you used monitor yet? If not, its a big help. Just in case you haven't, its in your sdk/tools folder. theres a file called monitor.bat. Plug your device up, click the .bat file, and once it pops up you will see your device attached to the it. select your device, then go to the screen on your device you want to know something about and click the camera

then it will dump the heirarchy view and take a screenshot. You can scroll the screenshot to select what you want and it'll tell you the package name and resource-id.

That at least gives me somewhere to start looking. I usually search the res folder for the id name and you can usually figure it out from there. Hope that helps.

I've put theming the Incall UI on a back burner. I decided to work on the S7E SPlanner app first. It's an option in the rom I have on my Note 4. It looks a lot easier and I'm just getting started on theming.

Through trying a ton of different stuff I finally narrowed it down to a few color.xml changes that make it look like I want. The problem is after I'm done the Time picker in the Event Editor crashes.

I'm still planning to do the InCall UI.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:

Update: I can't get a logcat. Searched for three hours. Nothing worked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
It turned out my kernel was blocking it.

Using "Advanced Apktool" I decompiled then recompiled the apk. I didn't change a thing. I put it on my phone and it crashed. So far this is the only problem I've had except for being a noob. I got the colors like I want them in Splanner. This was just an experiment to see if the compiling was messing it up.

If I don't watch out I just might get the hang of this.
