For the text.

You should always be looking in values/styles.xml and colors.xml

Search for the color code in colors.xml like for example I assume its #ff000000 . search for it and change them to #ffffffff . (only for the attributes which has text in it )
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Alot of that can be fixed by choosing themes in styles..unlesd the txt is what he wants specifically. Looks like there is two different themes being used. Device default and device default light

Another question if somebody can help me, I need to removed the identity between dialer pad and call button. Should look for it in layout?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
That's actually not really a thing. That's your background showing through between the dialer pad background and the lower background for the other 3 buttons. You could make those 2 images transparent or change them to something else to let your background show completely through.

Example

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Kamy:
Maybe I explained it wrong. I am aware of that its part of bg, I actually want to stick dialpad and lower part to each other. Anyway thanks for reply.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
On my note 4,on the dial pad button fragment, I changed the background Heights from fill parent to match parent. That got rid of most of that spacing
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Just find the png for the dialer or for the lower buttons and make them the same so they both use that bg..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] paarkhi:
Can someone please guide me how to remove the bottom black space

can someone please show me how to set the 'last spoke' colour to white and how to increase the line space between the caller name and number, screenshot attached for reference

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
You need to find the text then increase the bottom margin or if it uses padding instead than decrease it.

The bottom is png. Forget what its called but its definitely in drawables.

Not sure it became transparent.. did you take this mod from a tutorial or someone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] paarkhi:
It is a mod from someone but I've worked on it, he had few unpolished things which I modified by learning from the your and tdunham's guides.

It'd be very kind of you if you can remember the name because then only I'll be able to convert that particular file to png. Note4 has qmg instead of png files and I'm using QMG to PNG converter of Xperiacle.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
You should just convert everything first, and keep them in a separate folder. Then you can look through the images and replace as needed. It makes life much easier.

Hi guys, how can I remove clock from the notification panel? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
I'm not sure ;) but maybe start with decompiling system ui then looking for where the clock is located..might be a good start. BTW this is not a give me thread. You put in the work and if you still can not locate something maybe we will give you some hints

First hint SystemUI.apk
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
I still have not been able to fix this guys please throw me a new clue
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Hmm do you just have secphone? What phone do you have? Ok so what i would do is search that string "Message" or even the "Call Ended". Once you find the name of string search it in layouts. Its got to be in some kind of layout.. once you find it, it looks like the padding just needs to be increased so it matches the left side

If you still cant find it upload your apk decompiled and i can take a look..scavenger hunt ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Yes its SecPhone on my att note 3 I have searched and searched but still can not find it I looked in pngs and layouts I did find the png that looked like it I tried to stretch the image to the limit on it but still no change and I cant seem to find the png name in the layouts sooo hmmm how do I upload a decompiled apk?

thank you I already did the white color in font by downloading one of tdunham's file and comparing but the line spacing issue between name and number still remains

Can you please help..

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Ok.. Ready for your scavenger hunt?

Lets start.

So like I said above, the first thing I would do, would be to look for those strings.."Call" "Message" "Update Existing". These are all strings, as in strings.xml. Every word you see is a string in android. So, start in there and search for those words.. Once you find their name, search it in layouts, like I said earlier. It should direct you to a layout and it's name says it all. I actually started there first bc I am familiar with Phone layouts but thats besides the point.

So once you find the layout those strings are in, look at it. See if those strings have a drawable called in the same line. Hint: They do =)

Once you find the name of the drawable, it can lead you in two places, those being a xml or a actual png. Once you find what it directs you towards, look that png up and BOOM you'll find the image your looking for.

So when you find your image, there is two ways to go about this. First, you can make your image bigger...but that most likely won't help. Actually looking at the two images that may help.. Call is 146x146 and Message is 66x66..

My other thought was bc the Call png was in it's own LinearLayout. But in this case I guess that does not matter much..

Anyways any ?'s just let me know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Ok im looking up and down all around but still nothing I know where the pngs are and as you can see in the zip I gave you I made them as big as I can but I can not find where the hell it is lol im going crazy here I have themed a entire apk but I can't find one thing lol I mean really
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Did you scale both images to 146x146?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
I sccaled the message on to the borders of the 66×66 how can I make the 66×66 to 146×146?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Thank you bro I got it but now I have to resize the image because I made it bigger before I fixed it lol

Guys i custom stock caller id for my galaxy note 3

I cant find where i can change dpi of animation for exemple pictures marker "Y"

Also i cant make a background "1" for @id/callStateLabel in picture just image background but i want system background cause if contact photo this background is gone

Where i can make it?

here is my raw caller still work in progress
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
For the blue header, find "incoming call" in your strings. Find the name of the string, then search your layout for it. I think note 3 is res/layout/sw360-xxhdpi (but not sure). There will be a background for that string. My phone doesn't use the in call animation, but I'll bet it uses the same dimensions as the in call icon. So I'd start in the dimen and look for that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
So I decided to take the semi-transparent even farther. I did the keypad and tab icons. If anyone knows a hex code that makes the text appear semi-transparent and not just washed out, let me know.

Alright devs. Need some help again. After installing my edited APK. I need to change the font color. After doing so I reinstalled and rebooted but phone would never reboot. After fixing permissions I ended up having to do a complete internal sd wipe and reinstall the rim again. Any ideas? My first attempt installing the rom I got an error about the META file error ed. Please help me find out what went wrong cause all I did was change font color.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
I've tried themeing the SecEMail_J.apk and everytime I try to recompile it I get massive errors. So I ended up using another previously themed version and just changing the 10 or so icons that it has themed and I still have errors. Anyone know why this is? Here is a limited screenshot of some of the errors. I am only theming the files in the mipmap folders which is like 1 icon in each folder. Thank you for any help!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Are they 9.png or just png
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Vivek_Neel:
May a bad .9.png editing or you did not install your framework?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SICKMADE:
If you are only editing the mipmap folders then why are you decompiling the apk? No need when only editing images "png or .9 png" just extract the apk and make changes to your images and then open the original apk with 7 zip and push the edited images to their rightful folders. But make sure when editing .9 pngs that they are edited correctly or the app will fc on you, I have had that happen especially when editing stock email app when other apps aren't as picky. Hope that helps

Editing a xml..in system ui
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
No ideas on why this would happen? I'm thinking something went wrong when I used notepad++ for the first time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SICKMADE:
Forgive me for being lazy and not going back and seeing exactly which apk it was that you changed font color in that your thinking caused this issue but which apk did you edit? And after editing I'm assuming you had no errors when compiling? And after compiling I'm assuming that you opened the original unedited apk using 7zip and also opened the edited apk using 7zip and drag/dropped the original meta and android manifest files into the edited apk correct? Then after doing that you zipped it in a flashable zip folder? If you did all that then I don't know... but I'm betting you didn't replace the meta and android manifest files
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
The APK was SecMms. No errors and you would be right. I didn't 7zip them and add the meta file back. But can't you just move those files before compiling?

By the way I love your work. I've been following it since I was on my s2 running a wicked rom. Fantastic work my friend.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SICKMADE:
I appreciate it.... About the files no after your done compiling you want to drag and drop the meta and android manifest files from the original apk to the newly edited apk. Do that and it will solve your problem. Report back and let me know how it looks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
I will thanks

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Another question. Would editing a .9 image making it transparent cause a recompile error? Or is their something in xml that as to be changed.

Or if anyone can tell me
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
You can make a .9 transparent if you select the image and erase it. If you used the opacity bar to make transparent, it will cause errors.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
I did exactly that. Used the eraser then dropped it in 9patch. But know I'm getting errors for some reason when I didn't have them before. Weird
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Ok I need a new hunt guys can someone please point me in the right direction on how to center this with everything else
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
There must be some other issue. All of my .9 pngs on my current theme are 100% transparent, so I'm sure that is not what is causing your issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Double check your image. Check the black lines. Make sure you didn't make them somewhat transparent.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
I'm having troubles finding 4 fonts that I for the life of me can't find. I've gone through the apk's pretty thoroughly and still am unable to find it. Here are screenshots of the issues.

The first one is in Settings. I've scanned through SecSettings and framework-res apk's and can't find the pink. It's on the selected tabs at the top only. The only thing I've not done is smali which I'm still unfamiliar with. I did download the android color converter but not really sure on how to use it other than put my hex in and it gives me the smali and xml code for it. So I tried looking for those as well and no luck.. ANyways..

Next shot is from my messages and the blinking cursor. It's there on swiftkey, samsungime and googleime so I thought it would be in SecMMS apk but still not finding it either.

Next is the date on the lockscreen. Tried looking in keyguard apk as well as keyguardsplannerwidget and interactivekeyguardtutorial apks'

Last is I believe a framework-res file but still not seeing it. Been through it many times. It's a pink square around many different things usually in the loading process. LIke when I start my phone up it says Android loading or in my case "priest punch loading" (name of the rom) and has that pink outline.

Thank you very much for any help in finding these pink text colors! It's driving me batty and slowing my progress dramatically Lol

The Google network bar is SystemUI.apk under res/layouts/extended_status__bar.XML.. You need to look for carrier label or similar to that. I believe calls to two drawables, one for pressing and one for not, in drawable xxhdpi. (status_bar_close_on.9.png/status_bar_close_off.9.png.. I'm on aosp right now but it might be the same)

The pressing and aqua color is got to be in framework res.. Not sure of the PNG but it definitely .9.PNG. Sorry I haven't been able to touch a PC in 4 days..family time;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
OK nandroid my tw rom..

so SystemUI.apk res/drawable-xhdpi/ there is three of them that control it.. but you are focused on this, tw_close_handle_bg_press.9.png, image is below.. I'll look for the other one as well.

Not that I know of.. but that is what this thread is for.. to learn how to do it without xposed... I don't like using it anyways..

That png will only fix the Google network bar aka carrier label.. the other png is in framework res but I don't have time to search for it right now
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Yup .. the other will be in framework-res .. pressed or selected something most likely ..

My money is on this group lol.
