[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Hi everyone! I was wondering how would or what do I edit in the xml? Its been a while since I edited an xml on kitkat but it seems different than your instuctions. Lets say I wanted to change it to be black. Exactly where would I put that in the xml? Heres what mines looks like..

<solid android:color="@color/notification_header_bg_tw" />

Thanks for anyone who can help!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rboy28:
The notification_header_bg_tw is in res/values/colors.xml. Since this a overlay it doesn't matter where you put it (at the beginning, in the middle or at the end). It should just be in a resources XML. Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<color name="qs_subhead">#ff353a3e</color>
<color name="qs_detail_empty">#ff353a3e</color>
[B]<color name="notification_header_bg_tw">#ff42494e</color>[/B]
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_activated_auto_on_tint">#ff7bcddd</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_activated">#ff7cc6bf</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_disabled">#ff7cc6bf</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_normal">#ff6c7174</color>
</resources>

or

<resources>
<color name="qs_subhead">#ff353a3e</color>
<color name="qs_detail_empty">#ff353a3e</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_activated_auto_on_tint">#ff7bcddd</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_activated">#ff7cc6bf</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_disabled">#ff7cc6bf</color>
<color name="tw_progress_color_control_normal">#ff6c7174</color>
[B]<color name="notification_header_bg_tw">#ff42494e</color>[/B]
</resources>

The "#XXXXXXXX" is the color you choose (8 digits (ARGB))

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] 32dave:
First off great guide i have spent hours try to change the font color for the pull down and you saved me a lot of work (in framework who knew lol). I am having a problem with the shadow at the top of the status bar, I am in my sixth day of working on this. I have tried a ton of xml edits and have gone through almost all the xml files and haven't been able to get rid of it I will post a picture of it its the black line across the top I have searched countless pages but the only thing I found was how to add it not remove it I am using a Note 4 910w8 on 5.0.1 lollipop any advice would be most appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] The Sickness:
In styles. Remove .light where it says DeviceDefault

How to theme the settings app?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NimeniAltu:
[MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION]

Do you know how i can change the statusbar color in apps ?

From black to grey for example.... can t find the xml
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Vivek_Neel:
For all the 5.0 apks. Below is the attribute which controls the status bar colour.

android:colorPrimaryDark

Use that in the main style ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I'm wondering the same thing. I looked in the colors xmls and changed a few and.. no go. I can't seem to find where to change the white colors.

Edit: it seems to be in an styles xml. I'll have to look into that

-DUHA
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I have finally themed the Settings apk to black!!!! Heres what I did... in which if I can remember correctly on how i did it. This is from my Tab S. I might be forgetting somethings as I cant remember exactly what I did, so if it doesnt work, this should try and lead you to somewhere.

Decompile Secsettings apk. Now go res/values and open styles.xml with notepad++.

Search for

<style name="Theme.SettingsBase" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Settings" />

Replace with

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

Now search for

<style name="Theme.Settings" parent="@style/Theme.SettingsBase">

and add below it.

<item name="android:colorBackground">#ff0a0a0a</item>

That should make app settings black

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to make everything black in styles.xml

search for

style name="SettingsTheme.Panel" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.Panel" />

and replace it with

<style name="SettingsTheme.Panel" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material" />

Search for (just scroll up a bit)

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

and replace with

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

Now under that you will see <item name="android:actionModeCloseButtonStyle">@style/ActionbarIconDisable</item>

Now add

<item name="android:colorBackground">#ff000000</item>

Right under <item name="android:actionModeCloseButtonStyle">@style/ActionbarIconDisable</item>

In colors.xml change

<color name="theme_accent">#ff000000</color>

<color name="dashboard_background_color">#ff000000</color>

<color name="background_color">#ff000000</color>

To a black color like #ff000000 which i already did.

Now go to res/layouts and look for dashboard_category.xml

look for android:background [MENTION=403934]Color[/MENTION]/white or something like that I cant remeber

and replace it with android:background="#ff000000"

Now recopile

its right but do you have FC in Google Account Settings

And why you didn't check my Settings layers ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Nope. I haven't had any fc yet with Google account settings. Layers don't work on the Tab S 10.5 running lollipop. ? There's no bugs with settings like 3 dot menu and pressing menu buttons. So I had to theme the apk itself since layers don't work on tablets
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AL_IRAQI:
you can do same changes that i made with layers and it should works fine, these bugs only happens when i use layers to theme it

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Mack_75:
thx mate,

after some changes i have no color code ffffff within my system UI.

Now i have picked the Color from screeny, it's fafafa. But i just have 2 lines with fafafa code in SystemUI.

1: tw_quick_panel_quick_sfinder_qconnect_tint_color

2: animated_brightness_icon_color

But i don't think, that it's the solution.

In add.: in Framework-res/res/values/color.xml ffffff or fafafa no longer exist for me ;)

Any other idea?

Thx in advance

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] OriginxRambo:

After I'm done editing the apk do i change the permissions first before i replace it? This is the only part that kind of stumped me because after i tried doing it twice i crashed my rom both times and had to reflash it. Otherwise, everything else works perfectly.

Search for statusbar.clock or clock in styles you will find color change it ?

Dont replace it copy it to systemui folder without replace old one then fix permissions and move old systemui from the folder

OK thx for the fast answer, never thought about a different app, tried many colors in SystemUI already.

Just to confirm, changing

Sorry I didn't see the mention lol but he's right and if you want to do the tabs colors also to reflect in the recents go to... frameworkres.apk/res/styles.xml, find Theme.DeviceDefault (also the .Light one below it too) and then look for "PrimaryDarkcolor"

I can't quote the exact name but remove what is there and edit with the color you want and there got you Action Bars done system wide for the main apps of course. Btw Primarycolor does the Statusbar.

I tried to change the color of title in notifications to white using the guide (no 5) from OP but it seems not to work. Did you do something else besides the modifications from OP?

<item name="textSize">@dimen/notification_title_text_size</item>

<item name="textColor">#ffffffff</item>

<item name="fontFamily">sec-roboto-light</item>

</style>

This is what I have in my SystemUI.apk/values/colors.xml:

<color name="notification_legacy_background_color">#ff323 232</color>

<color name="notification_material_background_color">#400 00000</color>

I do not understand what is wrong here because the result is still black text on black background for the notification title.

Thank you.
