If you just want a static image to rotate, you can create an xml with the following:

Replace yourimagename with the name of your image (obviously), and adjust frameDuration and framesCount as needed, depending on how smoothly you want it to spin.

Edit: if you see those stupid smileys above like I am (damn Tapatalk), it should be android: pivotX and android: pivotY (without the spaces after the colon). Stupid Tapatalk....

Edit: and now it looks like Tapatalk deleted my code above....*sigh*....look at the quoted post below lol

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Nice.. I will give that a try. That will also cut down on size because it will only be one image.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
So, I've been trying to help someone change the main thread view background in Secmms for what seems like forever, and I finally figured out how, so I figured I might as well share it here in case others find it useful.

As it turns out, the black (or white, depending on your device) background is being called from the styles in framework-res. One option, of course, would be to decompile your framework and change it there, but that would change it in a lot of other things besides just your Messages app. To just change it for Secmms, here's what to do:

-Decompile your Secmms, and go to values>styles.xml

-Scroll down and find the line: (note: the parent style may be different on your device)

<style name="DeviceDefault" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault" />

-Remove the space and the forward slash at the end of the line.

-Below that line, add the following:

<item name="android:windowBackground">xxxx</item>

-If you want the background to be an image, drop your image file in drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi and change xxxx in the line you just added to [MENTION=3944923]drawab[/MENTION]le/yourimagename

-If you want the background to be a color, then first you have to add it to colors.xml, then replace xxxx with [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]/yourcolorname

-After the line you added above, add a new line with the following:

</style>

-Recompile your Secmms, push it to system/priv-app, set permissions, and reboot, and you should be golden!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Exactly. You can use xml to layer spinning images on top of each other, too. Decompile framework-res and look at the various progress xmls in res/drawable for examples.

:)

Edit: Well, maybe not. I could swear I've done it this way before, but every time I try now, the images don't rotate at all....hmmm...

°•°•☆astra petas☆•°•°
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I struggled with that on my semi-transparent theme. Each app was different too. MMS was windowBackground, Settings was just background, and I think contacts was panelBackground.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Good to know. Thanks!

°•°•☆astra petas☆•°•°
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
That works great.. If there a way to write one using 3dflip? I'd really like to get one that flipped somehow.

Related but not really important.. Do you know why in some areas the animations will work as a background and some not? Not a big issue to add an image view, but curious why that is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
I don't think 3dflip would be as easy as using android-rotate, but there's ways it could be done. Check out this link: clicky-clicky

As for using animations as backgrounds, I can't say I've ever tried; I've always just used imageviews. I'll mess around with it some, though, and let you know if I come up with anything.

[emoji106]

Edit: Here's a FlipImageView library someone already created, that can be controlled via xml. I think I'll be playing with it a bit tonight. It actually looks pretty interesting....

°•°•☆astra petas☆•°•°
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
That's looks promising, using two images. I will give that a try.... It's not really a problem to create the image view, I just find it odd that it works sometimes..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I had a "Duh" moment this morning. I thought of using the rotate for the quick toggles. Then I realized, just delete the "on" images and replace them with the xml, and use the off image.. It is actually making the app smaller.

It's always nice when you mod something, and it ends up smaller than the original. Another thing I always do to reduce file size is delete the translations that I don't need (ie. values-fr, values-it, etc.). It's not a lot, but every little bit helps.

Just a little teaser......

Not 'theming', per se, but I've seen a lot of people asking about it, and I haven't seen it done anywhere yet....

I've been working on replacing the apps in Air Command with other, more useful apps, and I've almost got it. The smali's been a real pain to figure out, as it handles each app differently, but I've been able to change 3 of the 5. I should have the others figured out soon, and I'll post up a tutorial probably tomorrow.

Ifind solution thx
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
So I thought I would share something that has been driving me crazy for a week. On the note 4, you cannot change the header text color on your MMS app by adding a text color to the style. I finally found a solution. This is for the Note 4 MMS, but may work on other variants and/or apps that you are having trouble changing text color.

First thing, go to res/values/styles. Go to the bottom of the page and add a new style.

It should look something like this:

<style name="Text">
<item name="android:textSize">20.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ff33b5e5</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>

You can play with the size, family, color. textAllCaps and textStyle are optional, just gives you more style options.

Next, still on res/values/styles, find this line:

<style name="MsgActionBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.Light.ActionBar">

Add this line in the style:

<item name="android:titleTextStyle">@style/Text</item>

Now the header text will appear as the style you created.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Good call man. This is how we set things to be app dependent. Just need the item that the main theme calls in framework and trace its style and then it parent. You can pretty much make anything you want to run in app instead of off the fram res ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Okay, So here is how you change only the compose text color... Note: YOUR ID #'s may be different than mine.

first, go to res/values/public and find 2 ID #s, text_color_black, and a color that you have set to white (i'm using red in the example)

<public type="drawable" name="text_color_black" id="0x7f0203a6" />

<public type="color" name="conversation_item_failed_color" id="0x7f090006" />

Now go into smali/com/android/mms/ui and open MmsRichContainer

Search for the text color black id

invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/mms/ui/MmsRichContainer;->getResources()Landroid/content/res/Resources;

move-result-object v0

const v1,[COLOR="Red"] 0x7f0203a6[/COLOR]

invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getColor(I)I

and replace with the ID# you want to use

invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/mms/ui/MmsRichContainer;->getResources()Landroid/content/res/Resources;

move-result-object v0

const v1, [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]0x7f090006[/COLOR]

invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getColor(I)I

Don't forget to change text_color_black back to #ff000000 so the conversation text is back to black

when you change icons say in SystemUI.apk help_popup_picker_l_c.qmg with help_popup_picker_l_c.png

do you have to change the <public type="drawable" name="help_popup_picker_l_c" id="0x7f02003c" />
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
No you do not but will have to delete the qmg
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
This. The ids in public.xml are just referencing a resource with the given file name. It doesn't pay attention to file extensions, however, so, if, for example, you had file_xxx.png and file_xxx.qmg (or .xml or .jpg or whatever), there will be conflicts, and it probably won't compile, but if it does it will force close.

And if for some reason you wanted to remove an existing element altogether (extra images added by a ROM's developer, for instance), in most cases (but not all, so be careful!) you can delete the element and also delete the public.xml, and it will rebuild itself with the stock ids when you compile.

Hey everyone,

For those who haven't heard of it or tried it, I'd like to recommend Habit Browser. It is the most customizable web browser I've ever seen, bar none, and it's been my go-to for about a year now.

Every single element is fully customizeable/themeable, from menu and toolbars that appear, layouts, icons, pie controls, colors, you name it. The menu options aren't all that intuitive, but once you spend some time playing with it, it can easily be made to match perfectly with any theme you have going.

Here's a screenshot of how mine is set up, but it doesn't begin to do it justice; you just have to sort of play with it yourself. For anyone who does decide to check it out, the main color/theming options are sort of hidden. To get to them go to settings>view>theme, then long-press one of the themes and tap edit.
