Bubba what tools do I use in gimp to edit these 9.png I watched your video on how to do it but I can make out the tools you are using
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Look at the video in post 2... Simple .9png edit. That should give you a good idea. If not, upload your image and I'll make a video that will show you the steps in that image. Sorry I didn't have audio.

how is that gonna help others perusing this thread?

don't get me wrong, believe me, that's a FANTASTIC offer that I would've instantly jumped at years ago when i searched every xda thread i could on .9pngs. but there are quite a few threads out there that explain and provide links on .9png images. if it isn't covered well enough here by any of the accomplished themers (which i can't see ever happening as they go above and beyond the call of duty :D), either ask for clarification coz that's exactly what Bubba's thread is about or supplement the information that you have and do a xda search on the topic. Keep it out in the open so everyone can benefit!

(sorry, off my soap box....it's the teacher in me. heh...luv you guys and what you're doing here)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] cerj:
Although I understand what your saying, plenty of people read thru these threads, so the more info we post, the more people will learn... But I do think nunhugger was just trying to give a personal touch in helping.. Nothing wrong with that, and kudos to him for taking the time to help note personally. I learned how to edit 9pngs by watching a video on YouTube.. I will try to find it and post here as well...
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
I did as well.. that and just doing them. I originally used to just edit them and drop them in the apk..no compiling. It works but it is not the appropriate way of doing it. [MENTION=5887421]note crazy[/MENTION] if you give me a day or two I will try to post a video of some editing of them..

Editing existing one should be easy..just keep a copy of the original and copy how they lay that one px border..

Creating a new image is where it can get tricky..but not if you get the hang of it
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
I learned in a somewhat private setting. My mentor worked in a chat room with me .. passing images back and forth so he could explain how badly I killed them .. lol. They are easy after you know what to look for. And I agree with cerj .. kudos to Nun for the offer ... he are a hell of a guy.

I got my crappy version of a video for you [MENTION=5887421]note crazy[/MENTION] so take a look and see if it clears up what we are saying. Watch it Here

[MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION] a video of creating a .9 with some instruction on the function of the lines would be an awesome addition.
[MENTION=2223398]NunHugger[/MENTION] your help is always appreciated buddy .. if you have any videos you would like to add .. I will get you a front page spot to post.
[MENTION=3497573]mikeymopar[/MENTION] your opinions are always welcome as is your help

Nothin but luv up in this thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Ok thank you for helping me I want to thank everyone for helping me and helping everyone that has ever asked or even just browsed through and learn even 1 thing more then they know because lets face it life is about learning[emoji106]
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
it's been a while since i researched .9pngs and after trying to look up once again the two threads that helped me the most (which i have yet to find) i came across these threads and have found two of them that i gotta try out for myself (old dog new tricks blah blah blah...) anything to make it less time consuming works for me.

1 - 9compiler

2 - better 9 patch

3 - guide

4 - guide utilizing photoshop

5 - guide

i also touched a little on it in an earlier post HERE that you have some flexibility in how to "stretch" the image to get it to look how you want it to. trial and error man, trial and error.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
Well...

I have seen notecrazy post a few times about .9 images. He seems to be a regular in this thread so I assumed he had done his research and reading and still just needs a little push. The teacher in me knows that everyone learns in different ways and sometimes just seeing it being done helps. I, unfortunately, don't have a lot of time, or privacy, or patience to make video tutorials. I can easily slip away for a few minutes to show someone how I do things. I will throw this offer up to anyone. My ways might not be the way that others do it...but it works for me.

I wasn't trying to take anything away from the thread or disregard the spirit in which this thread was created. Just saw the guy struggling, and wanted to help, in a way that worked for me. If that ain't the kind of help we want here...so be it. I will keep quiet and chime in when I can.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Not an issue for me Nun .. I appreciate your input however it may come ... and your offer is genuine and generous .. I agree that everyone learns differently. Lord knows I pm'ed a bunch of people for help getting started because I learn from seeing and doing rather than reading. I tend to get lost and have no idea what is being read if I am, not familiar with the topic. YouTube and pm were my best friend for a while.

[MENTION=5887421]note crazy[/MENTION] did you get a chance to watch the .9 video I posted?

And here is one on the repair of a .9 using Gimp as well Here
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
and like i stated Nun, it was a fantastic offer and one i would have loved to been thrown my way years ago but your expertise only would benefit one person. just lookin' out for the other guy (typically me that never asks questions and has well over 200 bookmarks in my "phone bookmarks" folder alone from searching for everything) that is having issues too. seriously no disrespect to you or your offer man. please don't keep quiet here - i'll dummy up and let you theming pros carry on with your thread. :cool:

I am actually working on a Sprint Galaxy S4. For some reason when I attempt to work on the SecContacts_OSup.apk , I have issues with it.

hi, any news mate? :mad:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] cerj:
Since my theming life began on the Srint S4 I will try to help as much as I can... What version apktool are you using, and do you have the framework-res and twframework-res for that particular Contacts_OSup.apk installed?.. I ran into a similar issue theming for the TMob device..I think I needed to update my aapt for it to compile the phone apk.. All other apks compiled fine.. I may have updated my apktool as well....
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Your error is here:

photo_selector_vi ew_popup.xml:9: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'layout' with value '@layout/photo_updates_header'
).

so your missing a layout.. did you accidently remove it or are you modding something a forgot to add it?

photo_updates_header needs to be added to layouts..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Nunhuggers' answers to you as "Yes" it could be done and "Yes " he could do it were indeed correct. It is possible and he can indeed do it. The issues are this:

1. That is not really a theming item. That is considered more of a mod or a built in feature on a rom. Not really something that you could just stick into your rom due to the to the complexity of the mod.

2. As stated in the op.. this is not a request thread. If that were a theme item I am sure he would be glad to guide and nudge you so that you would be able to do it and learn in the process.

So in short, it can't happen here. But if you decide to try a hand at theming, please hit us up for teaching. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I am using Apktool 2.0.0-RC1-848f0d6b5f. I am not sure if that is the most recent, I will have to check. I am using a stock Rom (it is a new update), with the framework-res, twframework-res, and SystemUI installed. I have done work on the SecMms, SecPhone, and SecCalendar. That is what is so confusing, it is only the SecContacts that is giving me an issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
I always get the same error everytime i recompile SecContacts_OSup.apk on I9505. In that xml I just remove that small snippet of code and it recompiles perfectly

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I haven't modded anything. Because of the issues, I attempted to decompile/recompile the stock apk without touching anything. That is what is so confusing. It doesn't use the android sources to decompile.

Ok. Since my TW rom on my sprint s4 is apparently no longer being supported, I wanna switch before I start themeing.

Is it easier/harder/same to use a cyanogen (asop?) Based rom? What's the theme engine that it includes? And I am assuming I Don't Want an odexed rom correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
To me it's somewhat easier. You can choose to theme apks , use the theme chooser, or combine the two. I've done some theme chooser themes and loved doing them. You can include apps in it as well. But the theme chooser is also limited on how deep you can theme. I know they've changed his the theme engine works so I'm not sure about it now.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I too have found that aosp is easier to theme. And if you get dirty unicorn or some others that have dark UI, half the work is already done for you. The problem you are going to encounter with the sph-l720 is that with 4.4.4 aosp, the proximity sensor no longer works. So during phone calls the screen goes black and it is very hard to get turned back on.

After my session with note crazy I was reminded of an old idea an old crew member and I had. We talked about having a streaming how to session. I think this could still be done now. We could throw together a video hangout and provide a series of topics that could be demonstrated. And after demonstrations, we could have a Q&A session where answers could be demonstrated on the spot. The Hangout could be recorded for later viewing and to use for reference.

Would this interest anybody? We could shoot for an hour on a weekend, that way we could clear our plates and lock ourselves in a room for privacy.

Just a thought. It could be fun just to hang out and share ideas.

There's a flashable zip to replace your wife!?!? WHY HASN'T ANYONE SHOWN ME THIS?!?!?!

I have attached to this post a file called XFormAPK_Template.zip which you simply need to download to your PC and then open with 7Zip or a similar program. Go into theme - system - and then either app, framework or priv-app folder, depending on where the apk you want to theme resides. Make a new folder and call it the EXACT SAME NAME as what the apk is. For example, if the apk has no capitals, the folder has to have exactly the same etc etc. Then inside that folder make another folder and call it res. Then inside that folder make another folder and call it the folder name where the pngs live inside the apk (i.e. drawable-xxhdpi). Drop your images in there, close the zip and flash like a mad man!
