Ok so I made this and I do not know if is saving it correctly or compiling it right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
"

To save simply click file and overwrite. That will save it in the apk. Then close. It will all if you want to save. Click no.

It's good practice to select images that you are editing and save them in a file until you know it will build. This is especially helpful when doing .9pngs.

To build try typing:

apktool b -d -f SPlanner

Watch your capitalization. You typed splanner not SPlanner

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
are you asking about how to simply flash all of your themed pngs without flashing the entire app? i brought it up HERE a little and it still applies. in one zip and one flash, you can push pngs for every app using Rom Customizer. so you can easily have a red theme zip, a blue theme zip, different notipanel images, a revert zip, etc. if an app updates just flash the zip again and as long as the png is in the same folder location as the updated app it'll replace it.

i've attached a very simple theme.zip that you flash with RomCustomizer (put zip on int sd card - and i was in a Dr Who kick with my kids over the summer but it has both system.ui and framework-res pngs) so you can see the easy-to-follow folder structure. just keep adding all the app folders you wanna throw themed images in to the one zip. or you could also use vrtheme but it gets a bit more complicated then.

Hi Mikey

He is wanting to be able to basically change or mask all the icons in the app drawer without pulling the icons from the apks and theming them.

Okay .. the apk is located HERE and THIS will give you an idea of how it works. I played just a bit today with it ..(sounds dirty .. it ain't) and really didn't change anything. Right now as is it "Should" greyscale everything in the app drawer. The key will be to get the color you want. Nunhugger got it to change last night to blueish

Hope this helps .. and have fun

Has anyone had problems deodex system/framework for ATT NI1? I can deodex them but when I push them and change permissions I get boot loops. I have tried three different deodex software and several stock and custom ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Are you saying that you are dodexing the framework and reinstalling to an odexed rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] parkerj7uc:
I have all of the system/app and system /priv-app deodex. But if I try to do anything in system/framework I get boot loops. Even if I just do one file like android.policy.jar.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
You have to deodex everything together. Just put the whole thing kitchen, deodex, then flash the complete rom. If you only do one thing, the rest of the framework can no longer recognize it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] parkerj7uc:
OK I'll try that when I get home. Do I have to Go thru the whole process of deodex, zialign, and zip and sign?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I usually don't. After you deodex, you can just create a zip from your working folder. If you use the kitchen to create the working folder, when it asks about the updater-script, pick 2)do nothing

Monitor? Never heard of it.... I'm not gonna ask you what that is because I know you'll say something like..."Doesn't anyone ever think about searching the forum before asking something that has already been talked about?" So I'll just search monitor or something in this thread and see if there's a post somewhere in the 100 or so pages where you explained what it is and how to use it. Thanks for the info tho hope that "monitor" comes in handy!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
Hierarchy Viewer is a program in the Android SDK. Once you hook up via adb...it allows you to select items on your screen to see what they are...gives you a name and such. Lets you find what layout.xml it is in. It is pretty slick. Great for finding that hard to find image. Monitor...I have not quite figured out yet. But HV works well.

And for as the "search or die" crowd. I don't think anyone here is in that crowd. Feel free to ask away.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
This is a help trend brother ask away I say

Hello brothers,

I have a lot of question about theming........I know decompiling and recompiling and almost all the basic knowledge about theming......

My questions-----

1)How to change the color of brightness slider background , buttons etc.(Tell me which xml to play with or which png to edit and which apk to decompile)?????

2)I just don't know what are .9 pngs ....... Can anyone describe me in detail

3)How to invert color of reboot menu(the dialog box which appears when we hold the power button)(again Tell me which xml to play with or which png to edit and which apk to decompile)????

Just remember in mind that I'm using a Galaxy tab 3 10.1 4.4.2.......(& you should have already known that tablet interface of touchwiz is white ) That's why I want to invert my reboot menu from white color to black color........

Hope somebody'll help me ASAP
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Welcome to the thread

1. If nothing changed with the slider from 4.3 to 4.4 as far as the name .. you should search the word "scrubber" in frameworks and that should lead you to where you want to be.

2. The .9pngs have a small black line on the 4 sides of the images. These images are made to stretch and fill a space .. the black lines determine how far and what direction they stretch. There is a couple of videos on the first page that show how to edit them.

3. That image is also in framework-res I believe. I'll take a look and see if I can remember the name. My memory sucks. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] dikkebas:
progress_primary_holo_dark.9 is the bar itself

tw_progress_bg_holo_dark.9.png is the background

And scrubber will get you the rest

but when you check the box for auto brightness that's from twframework-res

It has worked fine on my note II ,,,,,,

But when I did this on my tab ,,,,,,, the auto brightness checkbox only appears half(See the screenshot)

I know that this is a layout issue ,,,,,,,,can u tell me how to fix it??????? it will indeed be a very big help for me

Screenshot-

2)Did you remember the name of png ??????

3)Similarly , I want to change color of volume popups ,,,,, there are two popups(1st one appears when we press the volume rockers ,,,,,, 2nd one appears when we click the setting buttonone 1st popup)

Thanx for all the help till now.......:D:D:D:D

2. Nope

3. It should be in frameworks I think.

Hi guys. I could really do with some help editing a .9 PNG. I am trying to change the colour of the top of the dialog menu, but when I have edited the PNG in GIMP, and then added it back to my framework-res, it has shrunk?

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
I really don't understand what the issue is. Not to be rude, but it literally took me about a minuite and a half to decompile the image, section the image off, color pick the second image and color the fist to match. Then recompile. I have never seen an image "change" size like you are saying.... but that said ...YOUR IMAGE IS LOCATED HERE this is a freebie ... but I hope it entices you to come back and ask questions and try and learn. If not ... I wish you well. I don't want this to turn into a do it for me thread. I will offer any help I can if you or anyone wants to learn. As will many here. Maybe I am just having a bad day and being an ass .. anyway ... have a good weekend everyone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] oracle01642:
Thanks a lot mate. It now looks great! :good:

And it took you a minute and a half, because you are a recognised themer...i'm a recognised noob! :D

I'm new to theming, and I'm new to GIMP, too. I added the image to GIMP, selected the 'fuzzy tool' to highlight the colour part, then changed the colour. But when I saved the edited image, and then pushed it back to my framework-res, the image looked like it had shrunk and didn't fit the dialog box. Obviously, I did something wrong. I didn't decompile the image (I didn't know you can decompile images!).

What software do you use to decompile and/or edit images? Thanks again mate!

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
All of my .9 images used to do that. You damaged or colored over to black lines. Watch Bubba's how to video on page 1. He uses gimp as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Yea like the poster said above you, this is a result of either deleting or messing up that 1 inch black border.. Since you are pushing your images and not decompiling the apk.. this can happen.. If you were to decompile the apk then edit the images it would not have decompiled.. That is the benefit..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] oracle01642:
Oh, right! I was just editing the image, and then opening the APK as a archive with 7zip, and then dropping the edited image into the correct folder. There was no black lines when I first edited the image, just a checked border. I'll remember next time to decompile the app I want to edit a PNG from. Maybe then I will see the black lines?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
That is correct. When a app is decompiled it decompiles the .9.pngs showing you the 1 inch black border. But if you just drag out the image it will not show.. So you essentially have to make your own. Thats where patch9 comes into play..then I usually use another tool to process it and then add it back to the zip.. See how many steps that is? A lot.. So deocompiling the apk is definitely the way to go:good:
