I'm thinking it's either in framework-res or twframework-res. "tab_selected" something or other. I'm not near my computer to check right now, though, so don't quote me on that.

As for the text cursor, look for a 9-patch called "text_cursor_holo_dark/light" in framework-res/res/drawable-nodpi. Alternatively, search for "TextCursorDrawable" in styles.XML, and change each instance's value to [MENTION=1685219]null.[/MENTION] This will make the cursor the same color as android:textcolor within each style. Or you can create your own drawable or declare it in colors or whatever, and just change the pointers to that. There's a bunch of ways you could do it....

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
Awesome info. Thank you very much! Gonna go digging for that right now. I still can't beleive I can't find that big pink square... It should be obvious but it's elusive! :D

Edit: I found the cursors! They were little guys that didn't look like they had color. As for the tab selected no go. I'm pretty sure it's a font not a pic. The cursor and the framework or square are the only 2 that I think would be images. The lock screen and settings font at the top I'm pretty sure will be in an xml or smali file.. But don't quote me either lol..

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
I've been looking for your pink one for a little over 30 minutes, but there's just soooo much stuff in Settings. Plus, there's also sorts of crap called things like 'header' or 'title' or 'tab' this and that, or 'label', 'selected' I've already gone through probably a few hundred things. On my phone, that text is white, not pink, but of course it's not just plain old ffffff; gotta be some stupid slight variation, which just makes it harder to find lol. I've got to go to the dentist now, but when I get home I'll keep looking.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
Man thank you so much! I've done the same for 3 days now.. It's such a small thing but it's driving me nuts.. I feel I've scoured the png's and xml it's gotta be smali but I don't enough about it to know what I'm looking for. I appreciate any and all help on this! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
If you can wait until Friday ill get it for you and the lockscreen text..Thanksgiving tomorrow and dont have the time today
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
You're basically going to be looking for the same thing: 6 or 8 digit hex codes corresponding to color. The only real difference is in smali, they'll be written like 0xffffff or 0xffffffff instead of #ffffff or #ffffffff. Occasionally they'll be "inverted" hex codes, which you can know when you see, as they're the same format, just with a minus sign in front of them, ie: -0xffffff. Attached is a chart that will show you how to translate inverted ones into standard, when you come across them.

There's one more way that colors are formatted in smali, but in my experience, it doesn't show up very often. When it does, though, it will be the same basic thing, 6 or 8 digits, but will be broken up into blocks of 2 digits, arranged like an array. For example:

Oxff

0xff

0xff

0xff

About 90% of the time when you see a block like that in smali, grouped into either 3 or 4 parts, with 2 digits each, it's going to be a color. There are exceptions, but they're very rare.

Edit to clarify: credit for the hex table belongs to someone else on XDA, not me. I just can't seem to find where I found it at the moment....[emoji53]

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
So I found the cursor and the window on the prompts. Both were in framework-res and both were png's . Thank you for the direction on this!

Still can't find the text on the other 2 files (lockscreen and settings). I did notice that the pink on settings is visible in other settings of other apk's so it's most likely framework as well. Someday I'll figure it out but for now I think I'm ready to release this puppy for a Thanksgiving day treat. Last thing I need to figure out though is how to zip all this up and make a flashable. I can't believe when doing a google search how little information comes up about this though. I just started looking though so I'll find it eventually.

Thanks again for everyone's help and Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

I found another spot I'm not sure where to modify. It's when you long press home and choose the far left button to clear defaults, or clear ram, see active applications etc.

Not sure what apk to modify to change all the pink in that one too. Here is a screenshot. Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
It should be in /system/app and called JobManager.apk

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
Pretty sure I themed that one too but might not have hit text.. Thanks man! Hope Thanksgiving theming is going well for you.. I mean family! :D

EDIT: That did the trick but oddly enough it's doing the same thing as my settings apk was. It themed all the text except for the selected subject at the very top... So wierd.. It's gotta be smali or a different color than the pink hex I'm looking for (fb2188) . Turkey's in the oven.. can't do much for a while so I'm trying to fiend on the theme lol.. Damn this obsession!!! :D

I FOUND IT!!! And in the process I found my settings tab issue. :D HALLELUJAH! lol.. It's the little things folks.. I found the settings issue in res\drawable\color_tab_text.xml

It was hiding in between a bunch of png's and just searched color and whammo.. The JobManager settings colors were in res\color\tab_color.xml

Just in case anyone ever runs into this issue again. NOW it can be a Happy Thanksgiving and almost time for dinner!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
Question for all you themers out there. Is there a spot in framework-res, (i'm thinking somewhere in styles.xml) that controls whether the DeviceDefault.Light theme or DeviceDefault theme is displayed. I'm trying to the turn the light framework-res theme for like the power menu to the darker DeviceDefault one but can't seem to find exactly where thats controlled.

Any input would be appreciated :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
AlertDialogs..i believe.. i believe which theme it uses is controllee in smali. But you could just make both themes call DeviceDefault
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Did you try swapping the names (making device default.light, device default, and so on)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Not at home to check right now, but I'm thinking in the styles, if you look for theme.holo or maybe devicedefault, there'll be a line declaring the parent to be either light or dark. Can't remember the exact wording, though, and that may not actually be it. Just a half-drunken guess lol.

Does anyone know of a tutorial out there to enable all quick toggles on touchwiz 4.4
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
All of them can be enabled in the csc folder in features.xml
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I'm looking in the settings (on features.xml) and nothing is really jumping out. Would it be under something else?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Can't remember exactly what the string is called, but if you don't see it in feature, it might be in others.xml or system/etc/feature-default.

~★astra petas★~
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
Is this any help?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Like so.. just add this in csc/features.xml. Needs a factory reset to apply though.

Sorry for the weird spaces. Doing it from my phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
That'll work too, but as you say, it involves a factory reset to rebuild the settings.db

If you edit the entries directly in the settings.db and reboot, they'll work without a factory reset.

Just two different ways to achieve the same result really.

Thanks again guys. Tested both ways and works great. Something I noticed while editing settings.db..... notification_panel_active_number 12. Change to 21 (or how ever many you have) and they are all accessible from slide panel. A nice little extra find.

Somehow I've managed to break screen mirroring in the theming process. Anyone know which apk is affected by this or which apk screen mirroring comes from? Tia

Totes ma goat sent from ma note
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Ok so lockscreen date and text is not set in the smali.. well it is but its in a layout as well. See if this works for you.. Search contextual_size_date_normal in layouts and see what you find.. I have not tested this but I do see text colors set.. =)

And settings text, have you looked in styles.xml bc there are several things in there it could be.. for example:

<style name="TabTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle" @ style/DialtactsActionBarStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarSize">@ dimen/Taptheme_actionBarSize</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle" @ style/ActionBarTabStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle" @ style/ActionBarTabTextStyle</item>
<item name="android:actionBarNonEmbeded">true</item>
</style>

So <item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle" @ style/ActionBarTabTextStyle</item> which then @ style/ActionBarTabTextStyle looks like this:

<style name="ActionBarTabTextStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.DeviceDefault.ActionBar.TabText">
<item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
</style>

You could prob add a color here..If not there are some other things it maybe in there.. just search "text" in styles and see what you discover =)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xsisbest:
Thanks man.. But I already found all the text issues. I posted it on the previous page in a reply for anyone else looking for them. I appreciate your taking the time to look though!

The one issue I'm having now though is I broke Screen mirroring somehow. I think I might just flash the rom over again to see if it's completely broke or not cause I messed with my phone so much it might just need a clean wipe.. Thanks again to everyone here... So helpful!!!

It's the background on the first screen when you hit the mms icon before going to a specific contact to view the messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Styles- style.DeviceDefault.Light. If you just want to go dark, delete .Light. If you want a custom color/image, you have to add it in there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
If it's currently dark will it all ready be deleted? I what to add an image bg.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
If it is dark it is either already DeviceDefault or it is already using a background. Find it in themes. If it already has a background defined then change it to your image, if not, add the background using your image.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
One more thing, more general than anything. If I add an image how do you know whether that image is just a regular png or if you need a .9?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
You can do either. You can either create a .9 or create a regular png. If you are doing a background, you can use a png and make it 720x1084.

But for the life of me I can't figure out how to finish install apktool1.5.2 onto the pc. Can someone assist. Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
Simply rename your current apktool.jar to apktool.jar.bak , place the new apktool in your current working directory and rename to apktool.jar. You will more than likely want to update smali and baksmali as well.

Renaming original files to .bak is not necessary as you can simply delete the old file...but this keeps it for later should you decide to revert back.

I know this would probably require code writing and such ...I have never done this before soo can it be done?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
You will have to check the multitool thread to see if he has updated it. The old multitool used both the apktool.jar and aapt.jar. They are now combined so as long as multitool is updated to reflect this all you have to do is rename the apktool.jar in the other folder and then dop in the new jar file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
No.

Even if you're a Java person and you're familiar with Minecraft coding, you won't be able to sign the resulting apk with the same keys as the original, so you won't be able to take updates from the PlayStore.
