You could possible.. But it decompiled fine no? Bc that looks like the app fully decompiled..

Sorry I wanted to correct myself.. you can not just rename them back without them being totally borked out..not sure if is the beer that I have been drinking that lead me to answer that way loll

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
No you would have to take each converted image and redo the .9 patches with something like the patch tool in the ask.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Yeah what Zel said. For some reason at some point my tabs (settings and phone/contacts) did that. It renamed them and broke the image. Then a kind gentleman in a nuns outfit showed me how to make new ones in photoshop. Unfortunately I don't use ps so the fact that it was completely foreign to me combined with the high whiskey to blood content in my body ... that lesson was lost. But I left Tennessee with new tabs and memories of some fun times with good friends. [emoji23]

Accuweather

I'm trying to change the accuweather widget's clock colors from white to gold. However, I'm searching endlessly through XML files to see if I'm missing something because I'm not getting the gold clock font color. It s still white. can someone help me out?

Ive tried using the search feature on windows to try to find the location of where the drawable files are used and its not getting me anywhere
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
The clock fonts are in drawable -sw360dp-xxhdpi. Weather_font_time. They are images you can just color them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] GoSooners345:
I have them colored, but when I compile and flash it still ends up white

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I've been an extremely amateur themer for a long time (since my HTC hero). But It was mainly blackout themes. Now that I am learning to do things properly, every time I finish an app and start a new one, I think of 3 things I could have done better/differently on the last app.. So I have to go back.. It is maddening. My door in the mental hospital will say "Bubbajoe put him here".

On my S4 I had the exact opposite problem that @ GoSooners345 had. My time was colored, but nothing else was. I had to go through my layout and change all of the android:textColor="@android:color/white" to android:textColor="@color/col_000000" and that took care of it.

Hey brother I asked earlier how did you get the dif font on your accuweather? Please give me a clue
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
That wasn't me you asked the first time.. I like his fonts too.. For the clock, just go to res/drawable-sw360-xxhdpi/weather_font_time. They are images, change them to any font you want. I used Algerian extra-condensed on this one. For everything else, the S4 uses system apps. You can change those with Ifont

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Nice work. Glad you found it. I have never messed with FB .. I don't even have the app on my phone. I would have been no help at all ...lol

Could be an image .. maybe even a xml. Search "header" and see what you come up with.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I searched pngs forever, it turned out it was just a color overlay. I would have saved a lot of time if I would have read the layout closer.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Since that is a system wide header, i assume it is a fw-res png and placed there from the theme layout in styles.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Ya know .. it's been so long since I have fooled around with system apps .. I honestly forget things like that lol .. such is the life of never updating .. but you are right .. I think like you in fwres is the place to look.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
There is a lot you can do in framework. You can get lost in there for days. It looks good when it's all done though.. Don't forget to zipalign.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] GoSooners345:
-_- do I need to get a tool for that
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Take a look at what all the theme system lets you do, no sense doing something that can be done on the fly.

Koffed from my Big Ass Outlaw Phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Not if you are using Bubba's cool tools. When you are done, put your fwres in the Bubba_TW tool folder, own the command prompt and type: zipalign -fv 4 framework-res.apk new.apk

When it is done you will have a new.apk. delete the fwres, and rename new.apk to framework-res.apk.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Err I never do that. I just compile and flash...But I probably do it wrong lol.

No I do not. I basically dive in and theme everything in my path. I'm probably a little unorthodox but...I just keep going and going.

Koffed from my Big Ass Outlaw Phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I don't zipalign apps either. And I haven't done any framework work since ICS, so it may be different now, but back then if you didn't zipalign the framework, the rom had a tendency to get buggy. Someone more up to date might be able to tell you if it is still needed.

It would be nice to know how to do it. It makes everything looks do much better when they are all uniform.

Pretty simple. Make a revert flash zip. Add in the originals of all the apk's that you modded. Flash back. Easy peasy.

Thanks man I might sound dumb here but how do I make a revert zip
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Cod3L1ne:
Or like this lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Okay. So ya know the flash zip in the op? Ya use it to flash in apk's such as system ui, fwres,tw fwres, and any others that you theme.

You simply just use a second one. But instead of themed apk's ...You use the originals from the rom.

So you'll have the theme zip and a revert zip to change it all back to stock.

Ok I feel dumb lol I can not get anything started I have no clue what im doing lol I cant get any files to go into the framework installer I dont even now where the apk tool is ? Im lost
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Okay. So the zip you downloaded haz an installation tool and an apktool. Extract the files from the zip.Place both of those tools in c: users/(name of pc or side of pc you're using). So both are located there. Then set a desktop shortcut to them do you see them on desktop.

Now open the installer tool(from shortcut) and drag in framework-res,twframework-res, and System UI into it. Then click the install located in the tool.

A cmd box should pop up and install them.

Then open the apktool and drag in whichever apk you want to mod. Use the decompile command. For example framework-res type:

Apktool d framework-res.apk

It should decompile it for you. Let me know how it goes.

i know it sometimes takes me several ways of seeing things done before it sinks in (it's hard to teach this old dog new tricks) so i hope you don't mind me presenting another way of using your zips Bubba...

1. make a folder on your desktop APKTOOL

2. make another folder on your desktop BubbasTools

3. drag his tool zip you downloaded into the BubbasTools folder and extract it

4. extract both of the zip files (Framework Installer and New WinRAR)

5. go inside the newly created folder Framework Installer Tool and drag the folder Framework Installer Tool into your desktop folder APKTOOL (from 1 above)

6. then back inside the BubbasTools folder, go inside New WinRAR ZIP archive folder and drag Bubba_TW Tool folder again into your desktop folder APKTOOL (from 1 above) - and I'd rename Bubba_TW Tool folder to apktool just so I can recognize it better (sorry Bubba)

so now, in your APKTOOL desktop folder you should have 2 folders Framework Installation Tool (conataining about a dozen files) and apktool (or Bubba_TW Tool if you didn't rename it)(containing a handful of files including a Signed folder and an Unsigned folder)

copy from the rom that you're gonna mod from the apks framework-res, twframework-res, and System UI and paste them into the Framework Installation Tool folder. From that same folder run the Install Frameworks.bat and it'll set you up for decompiling and compiling using those files. (If you watch fast enough when the batch file runs you can see the location of a new apktool folder (typically in c\users\<your name>) that will have a folder called framework containing 1.apk (framework-res), 2.apk (twframework-res), 127.apk (systemui))

Once those files are created you're ready to decompile. :D

Go into your desktop folder APKTOOL and into the apktool folder itself (the one with the folders Signed and Unsigned) and paste whatever apk you wanna decompile.

Run the Command Prompt.bat and type in: apktool d appnameyouwannamod.apk

When it's done you should see a folder with the name of the newly decompiled app and all of its glorious components that you can mess up :laugh:

Thanks for the help Mikey. I know what you mean about have to see things different ways to understand since all our minds work differently.

Thanks again for pitching in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mikeymopar:
two BUBBAS????
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
Lol .. You couldn't handle Double Bubba

Okay .. Lets see how this works out:

I placed a "Projects" section in post 4.

If you are interested .. the 4.3 Splanner is there as a practice project. I have gone to great lengths to try and set this up so it's somewhat easy, so I hope it works out. There is a compiled apk, screen shots, edited files and a read me.

In theory, you should be able to search the color you want to edit (hex code key included) and change it. Should be easier to see what is what the way I colored it. Hopefully Noob friendly .. I am trying to make an ocean of xmls into just a large lake full of xml.

Now if you are on 4.4 you can use the edited files and screen shots to try and theme the SPlanner_2013. Should get you a great start on it anyway.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Your cmd is wrong.. Your typing "apk d splanner_2013.apk"

It needs to be "apktool d splanner_2013.apk"

So "apktool" NOT "apk"
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] note crazy:
Ok I got it thank you guys soo much .sssooooo now what do I do lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Well what are you setting out to achieve?

If I were you, beginning I would just change a color of a png (aka picture). Png's are icons, tabs, headers, frames, dividers etc etc.. So for instance.. find the icon for app you are decompiling..In your instance it is SPlanner.. So most of the time the icons for an app are located in mipmap. You can see that in your pic there.. Open a photo editor and have at it.. Save it and then recompile your apk ( apktool b splanner_2013) ** Notice how I used "b" instead of "d" there and also, depending on how you are set up, I left the ".apk" off of splanner_2013.apk. This is bc you are compiling the name of the folder and the folder does not have the ".apk" extension.

Other things will be in other folders.. drawables are what it says, drawables.. pngs..pictures. anim is animations..I would not worry about that right now ( same with animator, different but don't worry about it right now) Color is self explanatory. Layouts are for how the actual app is displayed. You can change the way things are positioned..these are all .xml's. We usually use Notepadd++ to edit these. They kind of look like a bunch of scrambled words at first but you will soon learn they are VERY important. They direct you to where all things are..and kind of what they do. I have never messed with menus to much.. Values are important. They are the "values" for the app.. Arrays (don't worry about it, yet) Dimens (aka dimensions), colors (again), bools (smali stuff don't worry about that yet, they basically turn things on and off) and so on and so on..

Start with changing some pngs then move on to xml's. Look up some guides or ask here about changing stuff in xml's and we will try to guide you..Hopefully I didn't confuse and if I did just ask.. No harm in it:p

Looks GREAT dude. Love all the colors to identify the different names/numbers..Im sure your taking notes so you know where and what everything is.. =)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
If you look at the folders I included you can see what changes what. For instance,I think you wanted blue. Pick a hex code for the blue you want. Start Roth the Orange folder. You'll change the most with the last effort. Compare the lines I edited. They are #ffff6600 ,I believe. Every place you see that in my file, look at it in your file by the same name (I don't have access to it at the moment) and put your color in place of the existing. It will most likely be #ffffffff or #ff000000. Change those and build.
