Parsing Error, Install Fail

OKAY so i've been working on replacing icons in an app for 2 days now, i wanted to try everything i could before i presented my prollems to the good people at XDA

The app is Popup 7

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ucC5zbXNQb3B1cFBsdXMiXQ..

Whenever i try to replace even just one .png with another, it will either attempt to install and fail, or just get a parsing error.

Even if i don't replace, and just slightly edit one .png instead, it fails to install.

I have tried :

manually renaming the .apk to .zip, extracting, replacing or editing one .png , zipping, and renaming again = fail

using power archiver to replacing or editing a .png without having to unzip = fail

using the app "ninjamorph" to replace a png within the apk without having to install a new apk = fail (the app force closes after an edit)

But

if i just rename to zip, extract, Do not touch anything, zip, and rename again it installs fine... (so its not my compressing/decompressing process?)

and i am currently trying to learn how to use eclipse to do it? but im having trouble lol.

It is a paid app.

I have tried editing my own .apk that i have purchased by getting it from titanium backup (it was in the asec folder) = fail

and i have tried editing an .apk download from the webbernet = fail

I was looking over guides and they kept taking about a frameworks file but there is none?

As you can see i have tried everything my noobish mind can think of. :eek:

(I just want to replace some png's in the res/drawable folder.)

I have made small edits to apk 's before, idk what the hell is going on.

Any help is much appriciated!
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Hmm...are these .9.PNG's you're trying to replace/edit?

sent using the xda app!
[Android Themes] ibCurlyFry:
Nope! made sure of that.

Not .9.pngs. Just .PNG

Thanks tho!

Edit: Example of two of the PNGs:

Edit Edit:

Gonna try that TUT and get back to ya, thats prolly the prollem.

Edit^3: had to sign the apk :eek:
[Android Themes] L0cke:
Couldn't see if this had already been covered, but is there any information about what png's relate to what file names for some of the more commonly themed images?

Primarily, I am looking for all the images used in the Pull Down Notification area, and the background for the Settings and Dialler.

BTW - This would be for Jelly Bean (CM10)

Thanks.

I don't know, unfortunately. I was trying to do something similar a while ago and basically gave up after getting nowhere.

I do know you need to look at intents though. Not much of a hint, I know, but hopefully it'll give you a starting point.

Are you signing the apk first? Most Market apps will need to be signed before installing, and don't forget to zipalign either.

Not really, I just extract most apks to begin with so you can get a general idea of what image is what. Best way to learn imo.

would like to learn how to make my own theme but seems a lil hard
[Android Themes] shockwaverider:
Hi, let's see if I can ask this in a way that makes sense... :o

Sometimes when editing layout xml's I'll come across items or views that are either completely or in part referenced from an id (android:id="somethingsomething"). Is it possible to track down where the id is coming from and edit the code on that end (which I imagine would mean learning a bit of java?) or can I simply override whatever the id is defining with my own code in the layout xml?

Hopefully someone understands what I'm asking, and if it makes any difference (I would think not) I'm modding a touchwiz rom.

TIA

I have some question regarding the TopBar (ActionBar) of contacts or phone apk.

Does anyone know where I can remove this black shadow text on dialogs that surrounds Phone options?

I have tried to change this in styles.xml with no such luck

<style name="DialogWindowTitle">

<item name="textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.DialogWindowTitle</item>

<item name="paddingLeft">5.0sp</item>

<item name="maxLines">1</item>

<item name="scrollHorizontally">true</item>

<item name="shadowColor">@color/black</item>

<item name="shadowDx">0.0</item>

<item name="shadowDy">-2.0</item>

<item name="shadowRadius">1.0</item>

</style>

I am running Gingerbread 2.3.5
[Android Themes] m1keyb:

Can you post your framework-res.apk?

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Do you have a WindowTitle style? maybe try that if you have (didn't do much on gingerbread so not sure of the differences) I would add a textcolor to that style just to confirm you're on the right or wrong one.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

If you have notepad++ it's easy to find where it's coming from but sorry I can't help you with what to do with it lol :eek:

Search / Find in Files (add your ID and search values of the apk) you should get a result like this from public.xml

Line 677: <public type="id" name="exp_power_stat" id="0x7f0c0046" />

Search / Find in Files again using the 0x7f0c0046 and that should point you to the relevant lines in the smali/s

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

This style changes the text blue in the pictured dialog

<style name="TextAppearance.Theme" parent="@style/TextAppearance" />

<style name="TextAppearance.DialogWindowTitle" parent="@style/TextAppearance">

<item name="textSize">18.0sp</item>

<item name="textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="textColor">#ff33B5E5</item>

</style>

So you would think that either these 2 would be the route to go, change shadow color from black to a different color

<style name="WindowTitle">

<item name="textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.WindowTitle</item>

<item name="paddingLeft">5.0sp</item>

<item name="singleLine">true</item>

<item name="shadowColor">@color/black</item>

<item name="shadowDx">0.0</item>

<item name="shadowDy">-2.0</item>

<item name="shadowRadius">1.0</item>

</style>

<style name="DialogWindowTitle">

<item name="textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.DialogWindowTitle</item>

<item name="paddingLeft">5.0sp</item>

<item name="maxLines">1</item>

<item name="scrollHorizontally">true</item>

<item name="shadowColor">@color/black</item>

<item name="shadowDx">0.0</item>

<item name="shadowDy">-2.0</item>

<item name="shadowRadius">1.0</item>
[Android Themes] shockwaverider:
Thanks!!

I did this and was able to track down the id in the smali, but I'm also not sure what to do with it, lol. I'm going to take an educated guess though and experiment with it tomorrow, wish me luck! :cowboy:

And thanks as well for pointing out that function in notepad++, very useful and something I never noticed before! :cool:

Good glad I could help :) remembered seeing the title divider set in one quite a while back.

Google maps, the semi transparent action bar and bottom bar, can anyone give me a clue on changing those? I'm sure I've tried all the obvious things but may have overlooked something
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Thx but i already made changes in Styles.xml like u teach me some month ago. And it works for the Phone but not for the contacts.

Here is my Styles.xml:

http://paste2.org/p/2416266
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
That styles has ContactsActionBarTabView which points to action_bar_tab.xml in drawable that contains the references to the images for the various states tab selected pressed etc.

Are you sure its not that?
[Android Themes] hypnos17:
hi folks!

how to revolution a rom UI? like settings ui, contacts and more..
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Iam not sure. But it works for the Dialer. When i do it like that:

<style name="ContactsActionBarTabView" parent="@*android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.TabView">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/action_bar_tab</item>
<item name="android:displayOptions"></item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">@*android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@null</item>

it is not working.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Ok i'll try to explain. This may not necessarily be what is happening though or even correct.

TabView is the view for the tab, the dialtacts actionbar style hasn't got a line defining a TabView so it uses the one from its parent (android framework) the contacts action bar style does define a TabView and it's that your wanting to change.

Before we go any further...open tab selected from framework and tab selected from contacts, blow them up to 500% and confirm they're different...

If they are here's what you can do.

Edit tab selected image in contacts :p

If you don't want to do that you'll either have to - remove the ContactsActionBarTabView style and any lines referencing it. That should force it to use framework but I don't know if it would cause any issues... Or - leave the styles as they are and edit action_bar_tab.xml e.g change @drawable/tab_selected_holo to @android:drawable/tab_selected_holo
[Android Themes] shockwaverider:
So he did... Thanks for the tip, I shot him a message, let's hope he's feeling generous! :fingers-crossed: This time around I was actually just trying to track down where some buttons were getting pulled from, but as I expected I couldn't make any sense of the smali. You win some, you lose some, but I did manage in this case to track it down in styles.xml anyway. It still may end up being useful knowing how to track down id's like you showed me how to do there, so thanks again for that!

I would download another cm 7 build that has them in it and move them into system on your current rom. They should just be an apk.

You would have to edit the theme to remove the icons from being themed.

can anyone help me or give some reference in changing font colors in button?
[Android Themes] shockwaverider:
I don't know what you've tried already, or what kind of apk it is (I only have experience modding system apps), but first I would look in the layout xml which contains the button you want to change, and see if the text color is set from there. If not, it might be pulling it directly from your framework-res.apk's values/styles.xml, the button styles, at least on my phone, are derived from variations of "widget.button", ie "widget.holo.button", "widget.devicedefault.button", etc. If you modify the text color this way, keep in mind that it will be changed across your whole system.

It's also possible that the font color is assigned in the apk's values/styles.xml, values/colors.xml, or from an xml in the apk's res/drawable or res/colors folders.
