I found some switch thumb

Which one should i edit?
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
Really? Don't you a little bit of common sense? Add a new item with textColor as property and between then tags <item name=.....> PUT THE COLOR CODE HERE </item>

If thats still hard to undrrstand then i will not help any further. You should have at least a general idea about what the hell you are doing. It pretty darn basic.

Try searching bootanimation4u on xda. The OP has 1337 in his name.. I forgot. I don't use it but you should try. Confirmed to be working on Samsung phones.

You want to change the "I" and "O" on the switch? Those are PNGs. They're obvious. Look for them, they start with tw_ they're easy to find
[Android Themes] GuneetAtwal:
can someone help me also ??:confused:
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
I'll guess on this one, for contacts see styles and colors xml. For dialer, see layouts folder and look for the file that handles the dialer buttons or see styles.xml if the first one does not help.

Then again i am only guessing here, the least you can do is experiment, try and change stuff! see what changes and what doesn't. That's how i learned.

I wanted to edit whatsapp app....

I decompiled it - edited a few pngs - recompiled it - signed it....

All without any errors...

I didn't touch any xml files....

But I can't install the modded whatsapp...

Tried uninstalling the older one, cache clear... Etc..

What must be going wrong???

[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
If its only PNGs then just open up the original APK with 7zip and drop the PNGs in the right folder. Then install.
[Android Themes] aceian:
Ok... Thanks...

I'm new to themeing... Will try out...

Also before signing such apks we have to copy meta folder and android manifest file to the new apk and sign....

But in whatsapp there is com folder too in the original apk which is absent in the New one...

Should that also be copied to the new one?

GS2 on 4.2.2 powered with Dormanix kernel!
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
No! You have the PNGs right? Make a copy of the ACTUAL APK and drop the PNGS THERE. Done? Okay, push/install to phone.

NO SIGNING, NO NOTHING. If this fails then try signing or zipaligning.
[Android Themes] Azmi6298:
If you have done with compile the APK...

Try to copy AndroidManifest and META-INF folder from source APK to modded APK

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
It may be a resources.arsc issue. It's worth looking to see if it's compressed at the same rate in the new apk as the old one.

But if you're just changing images then Dr01ne is exactly right. No need for decompiling at all.

[Android Themes] bobfrantic:
2 questions please...

Greetings. I have Galaxy S Advance with stock deodexed Jelly Bean 4.1.2. XXLQ4.

I am trying to find out how to change how the screen gets darker while pulling down the notifications. I would like to make that a little lighter to go with the transparency of my notifications.

I also would like to know how to change the text of the notification description (see attached screen). I have searched several threads and tried several edits of various xmls in framework-res and systemui with no success. I hope it is ok to post this, there are a lot of pages in this thread which I have read to no avail. Thanks so much in advance :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
For the notification background, can you copy and paste your status_bar_background.xml from your SystemUI.apk please?

..Have you tried Tickle My Android yet?
[Android Themes] GuneetAtwal:
Search in your framework/res/drawablexx/ for "statusbar_itembackground or something like this
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
For the first one, i have no idea.

For the second one, i believe its the sub text color on framework

i got something to ask with you guys about the alert button background..how can i remove the pointed background in the image that i attached for the button background?

thanks in advance.. ^_^

im running stock JB 4.1.2..

is it anything to do with any xml or some png's in drawable?
[Android Themes] bobfrantic:
Thanks for answering, do you know specific xml that would be located in?
[Android Themes] Azmi6298:
There isn't status_bar_background.xml on my SystemUI.apk
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
its in the framework-res.apk actually..

1) go to systemui\smaIi\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali (open the smali with any text editor)

2) search for -0x100 (there will be only two like that in that smali)

3) change both to 0x0, save it.

4) recompile

then

1) go to framework-res\res\values\drawables.xml. (open it)

2) find "notification_item_background_color" change its color to #00000000

3) recompile.

Framework-res/res/values/colors.xml

Please note that this method will replace all text that have the same color. If you don't want that, create a different color in colors.xml and point the text color from the layout. But that will be harder and longer.

And i wouldn't be able to write the right guide for that when I'm on mobile. :D

Statusbarbackground.png I think, iy could have a .9.png but that's probably the file name. Unless it's drawn using the color black and not using the PNG, but that's unlikely. :D
[Android Themes] bobfrantic:
Search for transparent status bar then, you should find tutorials and mods.
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
look for tw_status_bar.xml. in layout folder.

change the "@drawable/status_bar_background" with any of your png..put the png you create in the drawable.

example you create blablabla.png then in the xml you need to change to "@drawable/blablabla"..

goodluck..

[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
This would work too. didn't realize this was for transparent. Create a new color in colors.xml name it " transparent" without the quotes obviously. with the value "#00000000" still without the quotes. Then do the step above except change "@drawable/...." To "@color/transparent"

If you just want to modify the black background, just edit the PNG.
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
lol yeah..he didnt mentioned about transparent in the original post :)

or maybe i didnt noticed :confused:

Still no luck but what I notice in the notifications is the second line of the text, the timestamp of a mssg notification and the carrier at the bottom have the same color. hmmmm I made several changes in colors.xml and those stayed the same... :cyclops:
[Android Themes] joehanh88:
for timestamp color change in "holoclock" (something) in colors.xml..

for carrier color, change "TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Network" in style.xml.

[Android Themes] bobfrantic:
Solved

Decompile framework-res.apk

go to res-> value -> open styles.xml

search for:

TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent.Title

then

TextAppearance.StatusBar.EventContent

There you can change the color and size. This only changes in notifications and NOT throughout the phone. :)

Stretching to to edge of screen

Hi,

For now, i'm using rootbox rom, with several CM10 themes, but this thing is breaking my head, and till now i was unable to discover the tick in this theme.

This theme that i'm using is named CroMWiz, and it comes in roms to Galaxy S. It's the theme shown in the 1rst picture.

I had to manage the theme to make it work on my S2...and its working like a charm.

This theme has something different...it can shows all, and gives me no spaces on the edge of the screen...for example, in settings all the lines can fulfill all the screen and there's no empty spaces between the edge of the screen and the end of the lines.

But in other themes i can't get this. There is a gap between the edge of the screen and the end of the lines, no matter i increase his size (shown on picture 2)

And if you look closer, you'll notice that all icons are a little more to the right (a little more far away from the edge of the screen), than in the first picture, which are almost leaned to the left...

I spent almost 3 weeks trying to find out how that was possible, searching inside styles.xml, values, everything inside CRoMWiz theme...with no luck.

I also try to apply to other themes what's inside CroMWiz theme in order to have the same result, but without success...the only way i got success it was "port" other themes into this one, by replacing icons or code inside drawable directory, which take me lots of work...and time.

This theme (CroMWiz) has no smali directory....when it's decompiled only has res directory, androidmanifest.xml and apktool.yml

If someone could give me some help on this, it would be great.
[Android Themes] NimeniAltu:
Decompile framework-res.apk and go to res/values/dimens.xml

search for preference_screen_header_padding_side change to 0.0

then select the original value that u replaced and search for it

then replace anything to 0.0 that is the same value as preference_screen_header_padding_side was

That should make sense. RED for Text Color, BLUE for Background Color.

Grab the original files from the rom. Replace to ones inside the theme's zip with the corresponding apk then flash.

I tried UOT kitchen, i got security issues. Im currently running Sons of Android ROM 4.2.2 for SGH-T989.

MY QUESTIONS:

1.) When theming, what must be compatible in order to succeed?

Like the kernel, android version, LCD density?

2.) My current phone does not support 1% battery increments in framework.apk/res/drawable-hdpi nor in systemui.apk/res/drawable-hdpi...

Can I just copy and paste 1% pngs? or would i have to use uot kitchen, ninjamorph, etc.

All I really am trying to do is edit my battery icons.

Any help would be appreciated!!
[Android Themes] Dr01nE:
Do you see META-INF folder inside the apks from UOT?

I don't think there are specifics to theming. As long as you know what you are doing

Try this -> [Modding App][Android 4.*] OGBatteryMod (2013/23/03)

It was originally made for our phone but the dev is expanding to support more devices. You get to change battery icons without rebooting or replacing your systemui
