Welcome to our world. You can decompile each and every app and then change the color redirections but mind you some apps have started to make it so they can't be decompiled. And you have to update it each time the app updates.

hmm there's gotta be a way though..never had a problem blacking out ui's for other phones (everything except touchwiz)..for example i blacked out g3's ui and the texts were black in every app
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Welcome to touch wiz. We have been working on that for years and no matter who you do. You will have either Bob or wow issues on 3rd party apps. That is one of the main reason I stopped using OEM roms. Gotham has been a constant fight
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
So after coming up with the laziest way possible to make the in call UI buttons single row, I decided to try to do an extremely condensed 2 row layout. I set my dimensions, made nice button backgrounds. When testing I discovered something... I don't like buttons that look like buttons.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
So below are some pics of SecMms I've been trying to finish but need a little help with a few things. I'm just looking for a little direction.

1. Header "message" font color.

2. The blue line I want to change color.

3. This one has been a thorn in my side for about a week. I have changed so many things I lost count. If someone can tell me where to look to change this background that would be awesome.

Anyway tell me what you think so far and any suggestions welcome.

Does anyone know of how to resize the toggle buttons in incallui? I am not asking how to resize the button so it fits in a certain area. I want to resize the toggle target area. I have tried to change the width by writing in minwidth and layout width for each toggle with no effect. And I can't seem to find a smali that might help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] alphamale:
Does anyone know where this white background is AND text color is located
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Yes and Yes. To change both of them the edits are in SecMms
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] alphamale:
Do you know where in drawable name of images?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
See.. Thought you were going there. Yes I do and you can find it too.

Please don't mistake this thread as all the others (gimme gimme gimme). Have you searched for it? Have you changed all the text colors and have not found it? Bc if you did you would have found it. Now, I am willing to give you some hints on the bg (background) but the text color you need to find.

The bg is white bc the app is using Theme.DeviceDefault.Light. You need to change that. Once you do to make the background specific to the app, it will take some changes in styles to interrupt it's connection with that default theme, which if you want it dark will be DeviceDefault

Hey man,

Are you trying to expand the press layout? So it's not so small..big thumbs? loll Give me some screenshots and maybe a little more in depth description and ill see what I can find.:highfive:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
You know what they say about guys with big thumbs.... I am trying to widen the press layout. I'm trying to match the top buttons. I don't want to have to write a style for each button to make it toggle the background. Changing the toggle size would be much easier.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Have you tried increasing the padding of those toggles? To bring them forward so to speak..Also, is that the way the top buttons look now on your phone? If thats the case just copy their attributes in the xml
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
I will try changing the padding. I've tried changing the attributes, but that only affects the background. If all else fails, I can make the toggle target transparent then just write individual styles so the background toggles. I'm hoping to avoid that. The background size matches the top buttons already,I'm just hoping to get the toggle target to match parent somehow .
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
Huh now you confused me even more. LOL You mean when you press the png you see? Gosh wish I could see what you mean:silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
When I get off work I will write you in the background image. And post the screenshot. A picture is worth a thousand words and I'm probably not explaining it right. :o
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
I was wondering, the small tab with the arrow in multiwindowtray, is their a way to make that blink or flash? Just curious.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Maybe this will help explain. Changing any dimensions, padding, or layout only affects the yellow button. It has no affect on the blue (toggle) button.

I have also tried to add dimensions to the in_call_button_voice_fragment.xml <togglebutton lines and that did not change the size.

I think it might be in a smali file somewhere using button.width(blah,blah), but I can't find a "toggle" smali
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Bubba:
I really don't think so. It's just a png. I dint think you could get it to flash.

A png is a drawable that can easily be replaced by an xml which animates other pngs.

Look at how the animated checkboxes & radio buttons in Lollipop work.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
So as a temporary work around, I created a style for each togglebutton, made the toggle image transparent, and made the background the button I want. Then for the toggle on_on images, I just made them an off button. Not ideal, but it works..... And just for the record, the shiny button theme is a request... It is not going on my phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
If it's any help, there's a reference here ;)

All you should need to do is delete the tab.png and replace it with a tab.xml in res\drawable which should contain references to your animated tab pngs, oneshot set to false (so that it repeats) and your durations set in milliseconds - something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:oneshot="false">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/tab1" android:duration="500" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/tab2" android:duration="500" />
</animation-list>

And put your two tab pngs (tab1.png & tab2.png in your res\drawable-(x..)hdpi folder.

°•°•☆astra petas☆•°•°
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
yes that is exactly what I'm talking about. The only difference is I was wanting just the arrow to flash not the whole tab. Any input on setting this up would be a great help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Well, the animation part is easy. Here's my decompiled res folder to compare with yours. I've themed and modified a lot of it, but take a look at res/drawable/multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.xml. That's what handles the animation. The image files it points to (Frame_1, Frame_2 etc.) are in res/drawable-xxhdpi, so replace those with whatever your images are called. The '65' is how long (in ms) each frame is shown; the higher the number, the slower the animation. And don't forget to delete multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.png in drawable-xxhdpi, since it gets replaced with the animation xml.

That's the easy part. Making it so it only flashes some of the time (ie. as a notification) is doable, but will take significantly more work, and will also require making some changes to SystemUI and framework-res. I haven't tried anything like that before, but I'm liking the idea. Give me some time to see if I can figure it out. If so, I'll be more than happy to help guide you through it. :good:

edit: Actually, don't delete your res/drawable-xxhdpi/multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.png. Just copy it somewhere else or rename it, because you'll need it later if you can get the notification idea working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
awesome. Going to work on it when I get home from work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Don't know if you saw the edit I made to my last post, but don't delete your res/drawable-xxhdpi/multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.png. Just copy it somewhere else or rename it, because you'll need it later if you can get the notification idea working.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
Did you create the animation folder from scratch and gave it that name.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Not sure what animation folder you're talking about...?If you mean the res/anim folder, no, that's pre-existing. All I did was delete the image at res/drawable-xxhdpi/multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.png, and created an xml at res/drawable with the same name as the image, just with xml as the extension instead of png. The xml then points to the image files for the individual frames of the animation, which are in res/drawable-xxhdpi.

I didn't create or change any folders, nor should you have to. Just drop your frame images in drawable-xxhdpi, delete (or rename) the image you want to be animated (multiwindow_tray_left_handle_closed.png), and create an xml in drawable with the same name as the image you removed.

Hope that made sense lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevandang:
Thanks. It made perfect sense. I should have worded it differently. I was talking about the animation xml. If you made that one. But you answered it. When I get it finished I'll post it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
Shame on me.. I didn't believe that making a blinking image could be this easy. I happened to be doing a SecContacts so I tested it on one of the buttons.. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.. This also gave me a great idea for a theme if it can be slowed down enough.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

As far as only having it flash on certain events (ie. notification received), I don't know if I can figure it out. It looks like it's gonna take a lot more than editing some xml files. I found a couple files in smali that I'm about to convert to java (because smali confuses the hell out of me) and take a look at to see how a couple things work, but don't hold your breath lol.

I'm pretty good at figuring out how these sort of things work, and can usually fudge my way through things via trial and error, but it would take me a lot longer than I know if I want to put into it. Something like that is kind of beyond the scope of theming anyway, so you might want to just make a new thread asking for help. I'm sure there are plenty of more experienced devs that would be happy to help you with it. If you ever do get it going though, let me know!

edit: I'll bet it could be done somewhat more easily with an Xposed module...Maybe ask around the Xposed forums for some pointers on where to start?

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

When I first discovered xml animations, I kind of went a little overboard with it lol. I started animating things left and right, and not simple, short animations, mind you; 30 frames here, 90 frames there...When all was said and done and I came back to my senses, my SystemUI was somewhere on the order of 80mb from all the extra images, and there was terrible lag whenever I did anything. But it looked awesome, dammit!

[MENTION=4224060]stueycaster[/MENTION], few days back I was also working on InCallUI.apk and I too got the same warnings in the initial stage, by any chance did you open any xml and then saved it because it must left a unwanted space somewhere and that is throwing you the compilation errors, for changing "picture_unknown.png" in res/drawable-sw360dp-xxxhdpi folder you don't need to decompile, just open it (do not extract) with any zip opener like 7zip or winrar and navigate to the folder and change it.

Or if you are using xposed then there is a excellent module which allows you to change the pngs on the go. The module is called "Resflux" search for it on xposed repository. Do tag me if you need to ask me something else.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
No I didn't. How do I go about doing that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinoliva113:
If you have 7zip as the default to open your apks, just copy the files from the original folder to the dist folder, then double click the apk and drag them in. If not you have to unzip it and do it that way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] lacoursiere18:
These are not errors. They are "warnings"
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] paarkhi:
Yes, you are right, sorry for that but the rest of the thing is right that you don't need to decompile just to change pngs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stueycaster:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Morningstar:
If all else fails you can always use the 4.3 icons and run them through a batch image editor to change the color.

I'll have to check that when I get home. I doubt I even attempted to change the silver color.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
The frame & bolt colours are in \res\values\colors.xml, the battery level colour is in \res\values\arrays.xml

As you can see, there are three different colours for different battery levels:

From 100% down to 16% the colour is #ff33b5e5, from 15% down to 5% the colour is #ffff3300 and from 4% down to 0% it's #ffff3300
