Currently, Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher do not support custom dock backgrounds. However, in the past I have seen edits to the "hotseat_bg_panel.9" in the drawable-hdpi folders of both launchers. I looked at an example of someone using the Sense 4 dock in an older version of Apex Launcher. However, in new versions, I cannot find the "hotseat_bg_panel.9" anymore. Was this removed or am I just blind?

Thanks for your help.
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Thank you again.

I try to find it since a couple of Hours but no luck.

Before a few Minutes i tryed this:

I added the 2 Lines in styles of Phone.apk but it does´nt change. Divider is still there.

Hey guys.. i'm using CM10.. and also MiHome Launcher.. and I have themed my icons with the MIUI theme .mtz file..

so.. apparently in Jelly Bean there is no Camera.apk in system/app folders.. and i want to find the Android Manifest "Package Name".. so I can name my icon that way in my .mtz file

Anyone knows what is the camera package name.. or at least where i can find it in the ROM files? :confused:
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
It's in the Gallery.apk
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
That works thank you. Now i just need to find the Line on the other side.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Which line is that?

Edit: do you mean the one at the top of the navbar?
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
I mean this one (red marked area :) )

http://localhostr.com/files/lUxam9m/TransContact.png

The other one has vanished with the help of you :)
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Can't check till later myself but have a look in call_log_fragment
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Thats it ... Awesome. You are a specialist :)

The other side is in "phone_contact_tile_list.xml". I juist replaced the divider with "@null". Works!! Now its clean like i wanted it :)
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Again me... :)

Now iam looking for the Divider in Mms.apk.

How to get rid of that too?

http://localhostr.com/files/9lGN13i/mms transparent divider.png

Maybe adding the line "android:divider="@null"" to "conversation_list_screen.xml"??

Like that??
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
haha I wouldn't go that far but thanks :)

I think if you added that to the ListView in that xml, if it works it would remove the dividers between each message? give it a try! the only thing you've got to lose is some dividers ;)

For the bottom try this, in mms styles add

<item name="actionBarDivider">@null</item>

to

<style name="MmsHoloTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar" />

That may remove the top one as well.
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
I thought about that. But i didnt found a divider string in the theme in style.xml in framework and so have not do it.

The others have a divider string. Let me try after work.

Thank you.

I was trying to make a theme for cm9, and its been okay so far, its just a red take on ics. But one thing i cant get to change is 'background_dial_holo_dark.png', so that the background for applications like settings and dialer etc. are changed. I have edited these and theyre in the proper folder and properly named, but i still get the same background from the system default theme. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I was using a theme template from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773189
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
I tried what you suggested and that removes the dividers between each message! If you have a look for the listview style in framework you'll see that style has an item entry for the divider (list_divider_holo_dark? ) If we'd tried to do it but not in the listview I think it would fail then.

For the bit I suggested you need to add 'android:' before the item name else it won't compile! I don't know if the bit I suggested works though as I have dark bars and I didn't remove them, I ran out of time trying. i'm just guessing looking at your screenshot that (more specifically the top, it's using the actionbardivider taken from MmsHoloTheme's parent)

That's the background for the dialer, you need background_holo_dark in framework drawable-nodpi for the settings
[Android Themes] yus4eel:
The only two images for the theme template i used were 'background_holo_dark' and 'background_dial_holo_dark', both were in drawable-nodpi. editing them changed nothing in the dialer or any other application.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
In android.xml you need to list them like <item name=drawable (sorry I can't give you the full line you need to use) if they're listed there they should work
[Android Themes] yus4eel:
EDIT: eh didnt work. Ill figure it out some other time

[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
so just to be clear... you wanted to add the background to the dialer like this?? if so, i'll post below how to do it...

this doesn't need to be done in theme chooser...

^^great thread for theme chooser questions!!

now to add that image you have to add this line to your res>xml>contacts.xml file

<item name="drawable/background_dial_holo_dark">@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]frameworks_res_background_holo_dark[/COLOR]</item>

the part in red is the name of the image i used... i used only one image to slim my theme down... i got rid of duplicate images and just used multiple redirects for that image if i used it more than once... hit thanks if that helped!!
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
You don't need an entry in android.xml for the background, is that because it's already there or it just doesn't need one? I'm a bit of a noob with theme chooser thanks for your help :)
[Android Themes] yus4eel:
Yep this answers my question, but I was also not able to get the background_holo_dark for all other applications (|ike settings) to show up. Any idea with that?
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
theme chooser is specific for each area of the phone... so ANY changes you want to make have to be added to the proper xml in the "res>xml" folder... so just like adding the line i mentioned above to the contacts.xml you have... you have to also add that line to the android.xml

to my best knowledge, the android.xml seems to be where all the framework images/changes would go... since i don't see another framework.xml in that folder... so that line would look something like this...

<item name="drawable/background_holo_dark">@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]frameworks_res_background_holo_dark[/COLOR]</item>

with of course the red being the image you want it to reference... make sense?

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

btw, when making a theme chooser reference an image... you're essentially keeping the first part of the line the actual line from the app... so something like what i have below will always reference the line of the original app... then you can have it directed to whatever you want... but if that first part is screwey, then the original app won't know that line is there to grab...

<item name="drawable/background_dial_holo_dark">@drawable/

i hope that makes sense... it's almost 6am here and i haven't slept lol

Second:

Font color:

[Android Themes] Snusdus:
Might been up before, but didn't find anything while I searched. Is there anyway I can add theme chooser support in a ics rom? If I take theme manager.apk and theme chooser.apk and just move them to /system/app/ it doesnt work. I is probably something with the framework or something but I have absolute no idea of what.

Thanks
[Android Themes] SiMBol10:
What is wrong??

Okay I have spent the last week creating a cm10 theme chooser theme and I have made sooo many of the png files for the res folders, I found out how to decompile and sign and stuff using apk manager and then editing the .9s and xml files I can do. But at the point where I have the theme installed on my phone and I want to make an update and I can't create another apk that works. I have found out that if I decompile and then immediately recompile a working theme from the market with the apk manager it fails and the log makes no sense. Then another thing I've tried is just extracting and repacking with 7zip (which was what worked last time) then signing with apk manager and on this somehow the apk disappears midway through. Can anyone a bit more knowledgeable lend a hand??
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
Something like that would, I assume would require Developer knowledge to accomplish.

What does the log say?
[Android Themes] garr89:
Full theme support refers to themes that change elements of the applications on the phone, correct? If so, when Apex uses a theme from Go Launcher (or any other it supports), does it utilize everything or just wallpaper, icons, and font? What about themes that are listed for multiple launchers? Does that just mean the theme will apply wallpaper, icons, and font and nothing else or have the developers actually made the theme so that it can be fully used on all the launchers listed?

Thanks.

Edit: I have a Samsung Captivate, so I want a less resource-hungry launcher with theme support. AFAIK, Apex and Nova are relatively new and popular lightweight launchers, but I see that many themes are made for, and still support, the older launchers.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
Sounds like a signature error... themes from the market use custom signatures that you cannot duplicate without the keystore from the developer, which you're not likely to get... apkmanager/tool signs with a generic key that can be duplicated so long as u use the same program to compile and sign the theme that they used!

My themes support about 4 launchers... every area that I themed for the launchers should change when you apply my theme...
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
The template theme is exactly that... a template... its already decompiled so you can't compile it... your goal is essentially to copy over all of those files to an apk that was decompiled by you... then make your changes...
[Android Themes] SiMBol10:
What does the log say?[/QUOTE]

The log is an absolute mess having tried so many different things and I used different folders for apk manager and tried a newer version so its not even one file, I also probably deleted some of them...

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

But the theme was already a compiled apk with coded xml files, I thought it would be decompiled too that would make more sense

Usually it helps, if you tell the guys which ROM you are using (Froyo, GB, ICS, JB), in this case we all can see it`s a TW variant, but that`s it. I never had a TW device, but usually it`s tab_selected.9.png in framework-res.apk

[Android Themes] m1keyb:
I think it is possible with themechooser but I haven't done it myself so I can't advise you on that.

If you were doing it by editing settings the best way would be create a new style in settings styles e.g mysettingsstyle with a parent of theme.holo.light and then in androidmanifest set the application theme to @style/mysettingsstyle.

That would quickly and easily switch settings from holo to holo_light theme. Anything you then wanted to change after that e.g setting header text color from black to blue or removing the off/on text from the switches, you would add to mysettingsstyle to stop framework resources being used.

There's different ways of doing things that's just the way I would do it :)

[Android Themes] m1keyb:
It wouldn't look like that as I don't have the images for the switches and someone has obviously spent a bit of time doing it. I was just offering to switch the theme to light but it would require further work if you wanted it like that. They would probably be in system/framework and system/app on your phone or in your rom download.

I think you'd be better asking in the forum for your specific model, is there no light themes already available?

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Not quite. After recompiling, open both the original apk and the new one with 7zip and copy the META-INF folder across. Then extract resources.arsc from the new apk and add it back in again at 'store' levels of compression.

This will ensure it's signed properly and compressed properly as well.

Then push into /system/, fix the permissions and move (not copy) into /app/

Reboot and it should work.

Or...try my compiling tool, Tickle My Android, which is linked in my signature. It can do all this for you.
