[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singh_harman:
Me too. It's quite good although there is a delay when I press the power button the screen won't light up right away, there is maybe a 1-2 seconds delay and sometimes the screen wouldn't light up at all unless the power button is pressed down again. Anyone experiencing this issue?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambofgod13:
I had that issue and lag, but that's because i dirty flashed it. It needs to be a clean install. Maybe that will help. If not it must just be a bug.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
not experiencing this issue, both "double tap to wake" and the power button are waking up the phone instantly. I would simply make a clean install like suggested by [MENTION=3544563]lambofgod13[/MENTION]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singh_harman:
Ok I will do that thanks [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]

How long does it take for you to fully charge from 0 - 100% ? using the standard 1A charger.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singh_harman:
I think i did a clean flash though, when given the options whether to install without wiping or do a full wipe and then install. I took the second option for a full wipe before installation.

Maybe i could just try flashing it again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambofgod13:
I manually wipe first, i don't know how good aroma is at wiping. Maybe I'm being a bit silly but when i wiped in twrp then installed the rom with a clean wipe the lag went away.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singh_harman:
Yes that's right. I also think that wiping in twrp and then doing it again in aroma right before installing is the best practice and way to go. How good is ARTMOD rom compared to insertcoin or any other sense 7 rom? I just flashed and using along with elementalx kernel. What do u have to say about this? It's only been a day and seems ok.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambofgod13:
Most of the lollipop roms had or didn't have things i liked, some were unstable call issues, data issues, lag and so on. I've always come back to insertcoin. I used element kennel but it seemed to get real laggy after a couple days. Just my experience. Try for a week and see how you like it. It's all mostly preference.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singh_harman:
Most things like? If you don't mind me asking.

So you used elemental kernel which means you no longer using it. What kernel are you using now?

Yes I will but since you tried out most sense 7 roms. What makes you say that Insertcoin is most stable and how was your experience with artmod?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiserPT:
Hi Guys!

i have one m7_ul, Unlocked, S-ON with Hboot 1.61, and OS 7.18.111.2 (RevolutionHD)...

can i go to InsertCoin rom?

Or i need something else before do that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If you have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware you can install any Lollipop Sense rom you want including IC. :good:

[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
I always get a black screen on my PC. How can I solve it? My phone screen is always on.

Thank you for the guide.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
Hmm, that's a bit strange, because black screen is mainly when your screen is off, are you seeing the background processes of the app on the left of ADM?
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Solved. Actually, I have to have the screen on in the moment I start to take the "screenshot" of my phone. It's ok now.

I'm still looking for that white contact detail background ... :)

PS. Do you know what it means class = android.widget.RelativeLayout ? It doesn't give too much details so I don't know where should I search for it?

Thank you.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
That means that the layout is using a RelativeLayout. It's a type of layout configuration. You should use N++ to see if you can find that RelativeLayout, as not all xmls have that layout.
[Android Themes] Jumba:
Thank you, great guide!

Well, in the new version of Android Studio, there's no option for UI, Only Camera / Print, and other Monitor related options.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
I'll take a look at this, I might make a standalone package if this is the case.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
[MENTION=5097981]abo hani[/MENTION], updated the guide with Android Studio 1.4.1 instructions to locate ADM. Once ADM launched, it works exactly the same way now.

Do you have any tips on how to make a transparent background transparent instead of grey? I have changed backgrounds edited pngs edited styles and manifests and still get a grey box on the light option
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
If a transparent background is already transparent, why are you changing it to grey? What changes are you making?
[Android Themes] rickberg:
I worded that wrong im trying to make the apk transparent but it will not go transparent it goes to a grey i added Theme.Translucent to styles and manifest also changed background hexes on light to 00000000
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Anyone knows from where is taken the color of the text in the search box? Is taken from the app itself of from somewhere else (SystemUI, framework, etc)? It drives me crazy this search text from SecGallery. Is always black on black.

Thank you.
[Android Themes] rickberg:
This is the color i get as background even though everythong is set to transparent
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
Add this into your main style to show the wallpaper:

<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
[Android Themes] rickberg:
Ok i will try that thank you

Do you know where the value is for the actionbar drop down menu text? I tried this method and it points to id/text1 text2. I searched all xmls changed all color values and even added a few lines to any thing with text1 in the line. Still no luck have you ever ran into this prob?
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
I use total commander to search for text inside files in a folder. Is the best solution to find your text în ALL xml files. What app is this you try to mod? Gallery?

This is mine.
[Android Themes] Uchiha_Dev:
i was trying to theme Play store, and I used this tool to find where I can find the layout to edit Status bar and it shows that it's id is "statusBarBackground" i searched for it and no results, I even searched the whole /res folder for it
[Android Themes] starbucks2010:
Have you checked if this "statusBarBackground"is taken from the Play Store or from the framework?
[Android Themes] rickberg:
So i used this tool and found tge color i was looking for was at text2 in system ui i do a search for that and get one hit in system ui and it was android:id=@android:id/text2 how do i make the id a color ?

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

I dont want to edit text2 all the way across just that one xml

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Also i noticed the device is a nexus in the tool not a note 5 does that matter
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
1. You want to find the id/text2 in a layouts, and search on the same line whether it uses textColor, style or anything related to color. If you see a hex there, you must change that (TW) through decompiling, or give up (CMTE).

2. Do as 1.

3. Doesn't matter what device you have.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
I had this issue once upon a time, but it's a strange fix, here:

CyanogenMod Theme Engine.
[Android Themes] Uchiha_Dev:
thanks man, is there a way to figure out where and what to add ? Or is it experience. (not talking about the above piece of code)

[Android Themes] Uchiha_Dev:
umm... ok thanks for all you have done (y) appreciate it

I have completed my theme but it's a flashable zip for only CM 12.1 beta 6, And I have forgotten what I have added and edited so far because I haved edited tons of apks ton of times. About to be a week now. Just trying to figure out how to actually make a Theme for CMTE without having to go through all the piece of code again

[Android Themes] XDAMaxe:
Hello all,

I know this is a double post from here but maybe someone here knows the secret.

I want to inverse that white crap popup which appears after the bootanimation i.e. when you clear dalvik/cache, see screenshot.

Does anyone know which file I have to mod to inverse/turn that background into black and text into white ?
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
Use this to your reference. It's a bit messy but the output worked. https://github.com/nicholaschum/dm_powermenu_bliss_fwb/commits/lp5.1
[Android Themes] XDAMaxe:
Hi Nick, thanks a lot for pointing me to that.

To understand correct (sorry, please apologize because I am neither dev nor fully understand how things work with android and github etc.):

I checked the TRDS section here and found some pngs and then the files

- activated_background_material.xml

- background_holo_dark.xml etc.

- styles.xml for v21

- colors.xml and styles.xml (as the default darktheme xmls)

Alrighty ?

Just tried to integrate most into my framework-res.apk and - hellzyeah - WORKED (this popup window after bootanimation is dark with white text - PERRRFECT!) - see screenshot (btw. some system popups here and there are affected and look very nice).

But : default browser fc and - so far - only one app (acalendar+) makes trouble with one popup where there is black text on black bg (this app has some other popups which appear with still white bg - that's ok but I cannot read the black bg popup - sh**)

Now I had just reverted some items like they were before but I cannot eliminate this black bg and browser still fc.

Do you have any additional idea?
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
The link above creates a new style and uses that only for boot up. If you're seeing the style changing other dialogs then something went wrong...
[Android Themes] XDAMaxe:
Ok then I completely misunderstood what you mean, sorry for that. Could you please explain how I should do as I should ? Download zip is 926 MB :confused:
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
https://github.com/nicholaschum/dm_powermenu_bliss_fwb/commits/lp5.1

You can see the commits by me on April 29th. That's the only stuff you want to implement, don't touch TRDS.
[Android Themes] XDAMaxe:
Hi Nick, thank you very much for your patience, which is highestly appreciated.

Ah, I see. There's a lot of stuff from April 29th.

And... erm, I don't really know how to implement that into my framework-res.apk.

You wrote that it creates a new style which is only active at bootup (after boot animation).

So far my skills are limited to modify existing or adding some values to styles.xml. colors.xml., layout.xml or adding/modifying some pngs.

I'm afraid that at this point I need some more help to get this solved.

But it's alright if it's not possible for you to give me more hints, you really helped a lot (even showing me how difficult things are and that we all have to keep in mind to give our respect to you devs :good: - it's really hard work and sometimes it'll f** your brains out to get things done the way you will ....)

Just a quick question:

I am trying to find a resource using above method in FileManager apk

Resource id shown: android:id/action_bar_title

Package name shown : com.lge.filemanager

When i try to find the string "action_bar_title" it shows me 0 result.

Since android id/ is involved so i should be searching here or framework file.
[Android Themes] nicholaschum:
It works both ways...your app can call [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:id/action_bar_title, but usually it's framework. So you should usually check both just in case.

Next time, it's probably better if you ask in the substratum questions about theming thread ;)
[Android Themes] SolCanis:
Making my way to theming (Almost there). Some Questions.

So, first thanks for the tutorial. This was a definite treasure trove of info. I am currently trying to make my way to theming my Huawei Mate 9. (C567 - USA Model) I love this phone so much but, the desire to be different with EMUI also leaked over to behind the scenes stuff. I am new to this. 3-4 days in...and a lot of things look...different. Like for example: Your decompiled apk contained obvious values for colors and what not in a neat little reference location mine does not @_@' they all nearly look hardcoded in and I currently don't know where they are if not. To be fair I haven't really made heads or tails of XML files yet...I mean just enough to really navigate them confidently. Still in search and destroy mode. :cyclops:

I know it's been nearly 3 years since the initial post but, I am wondering. For those that theme and for you yourself. What do you use to decompile your apks? It could just be nuances however, when looking at the SystemUI.apk I did find a values folder that was empty and there were a few others that were simply empty. So my thoughts are maybe what I am using to decompile might be, "off", or it really is just the nuances of the developers over at Huawei?

However....

Seeing that the SystemUI.apk has an Android N logo I had figured that not really much of it would be modified?

Do you understand my contention?

Has anyone themed Nougat? What should / shouldn't be there?

I am wondering if that apk is standardized specifically for a given version of android or can it be modified directly for a modified version of android or would those modifications take place elsewhere? Like for example inside EMUI and not the System UI.

Would all Nougat devices share this common apk? Just like all devices share the Nougat Android OS? :confused:
[Android Themes] steha:
Tickle my android by [MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION] is fantastic does everythin you could need.
[Android Themes] Spannaa:
Since TMA uses apktool, it probably won't help here.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yeeeessss....as much as I appreciate the mention, I'm afraid that Spannaa's right - Apktool and Huawei don't get on.

Huawei do some nice stuff but their files are constructed in a non-standard way and I can't guarantee that they can be decompiled or recompiled properly.

To answer the rest of your post, because I hate to just give people bad news, there's an introductory guide to XML modding here: https://xdaforums.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816. It's written by a very good friend of mine and will hopefully be useful to you.

Different phones, and even different roms for the same phone, use different APK files. Sadly you can't take a SystemUI.apk from one rom (for example) and put it in another. You have to edit your own files...which could be tricky in your case.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Android modding, by the way. It's confusing as hell at first, but it does make sense. Honest!
[Android Themes] SolCanis:
Huawei Mate 9 .apk strangness

Yeah, I am realizing that now. I am currently making my way through the process of deodexing .odex files to class.dex files which is turning out to be a pain because I am not sure about it, still reading up on some stuff but I suspect...a lot of what I need to know is in that .odex file...and the framework something or the other is strange too.

It's strange because all the commonality between other devices on other threads doesn't seem to be likely something to be extended to Huawei devices...I just can't give up a 4k mAh battery though :/

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

I see, I will check out the .xml link for sure.

So I have had some poking around and I didn't get a chance to really look at things as I am still learning....

I was mostly curious as frame of reference as far as theming goes...like this should be here and this there if systemui.apk is standard but as it seems it is not and that emui.apk is not the place where all this hardcoded UI tweaking takes place than I gues it would suggest that systemui.apk is unique to individual phones on some level and that you might not be able to use the other as a guide as to what should be where in the other. I've always planned on using my own rom...I'm behind the curve on a lot of this stuff and there is lot's of dated info I run into. So, when I see the threads asking for roms it's just not an option; it reads confusing then so I am sure it will be worse now. :/

Also thanks for the Tip and the info on editing .xml files.

PS: I am hoping ideally, that what I need to edit/ theme my device is stored in one place or the other and not across both; primarily FIRST that all the color values are just in the .odex although I am not sure why that data would receive any sort of post, "privilege", to lessen boot times even further? :/ Annnnywho, thanks! I'll get there :D
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Colour values are normally stored in resources.arsc, which is stored in the APK itself. The ODEX files essentially contain all the Java code. In a deodexed rom, that file is placed inside the APK as classes.dex files which can then be turned into smali files.

I know MIUI does things differently but I'd imagine it'd be pretty similar in this.

Hi

I don't know why in some moments my Z2 stopps working. E.G. I turned off the screen and after few moments got a message via Messenger. A diode was blinking, music on bluetooth was playing on, and after 1-2 mins stopped. I wasn't able to turn on and turn off Z2.

The only way to turn on my Z2 is reset button and after boot I have 5% lower battery (before freeze had 72% after boot via reset button 67%)

This problem occurs on all custom ROMS based on stock (ExistenZ, PureX Z2, MX ROM, MoonWalkers etc.) - I have Locked Bootloader, .232 Firmware.

Does anyone know what's going on with my phone?
