I'm attempting to change the lock pattern drag color and I found that the file which needs to be edited is located at:

smali/com/android/internal/widget/LockPatternView.smali

What needs to be changed in order to change the lock pattern drag color is:

iget-object v2, p0, Lcom/android/internal/widget/LockPatternView;->mPathPaint:Landroid/graphics/Paint;

const/4 v3, -0x1

Yet when I change it to this:

iget-object v2, p0, Lcom/android/internal/widget/LockPatternView;->mPathPaint:Landroid/graphics/Paint;

const/4 v3, -0x8cc019

or:

iget-object v2, p0, Lcom/android/internal/widget/LockPatternView;->mPathPaint:Landroid/graphics/Paint;

const/4 v3, 0x8cc019

I get this error message in the command prompt when I try to smali the dex file with the new changes:

lockscreen\com\android\internal\widget\LockPatternView.smali[0,0] 9224217 cannot
fit into a short
lockscreen\com\android\internal\widget\LockPatternView.smali[307,4] mismatched t

lockscreen\com\android\internal\widget\LockPatternView.smali[310,4] mismatched t
ree node: I_STATEMENT_FORMAT22c_FIELD expecting <UP>

Anyone have any ideas on why java/smali isn't letting me recompile the dex file so that I may apply the color changes to the lock pattern drag color?

Also the majority of my menus have "white on white" text. Meaning white background and white text, the extended menus, the pop-up menus, almost every menu. Yet the highlighted text color is black over white/highlight color.

Anyone know how to change the color of the menu's text color from white to black and keep the highlighted text color black?

These are my two MAJOR problems I'm having while learning to theme.

MAJOR MAJOR thanks to whoever is willing to help and/or able to solve these issues I'm having.

Im in need of some assistance:

Im trying to find the specific color i need to change to change the notification pulldown item text from black to white i tried to change some values in framework-res.apk /colors primary_text_dark and primary_text_light so the text would be white , it worked but then my text message text and password etc field texts also turned white and thats not what i want. As in my attachement i want the text that in here for example says "usb-connected" to be white, cuz i have black background and its unreadable. Im using Cm7 rom and ive read lots of solutions in Sense thread and it seems its not same things i have to change. Thanks

Edit SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml. Look for android:id="@id/latestTitle" and put android:textColor="#ffffffff" in front of it.

<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:id="@id/latestTitle" android:background="@drawable/shade_header_background" android:paddingLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_latest_events_title" />

Lockscreen Sliders

Hi all,

I am trying to edit the lockscreen sliders...I've been messing with just the left unlock tab (zz_moto_jog_tab_bar_left_begin.9.png) and want to replace that with an image that slides with your finger as you swipe across to unlock. I've replaced the image, and used the draw9patch tool to create the guides, but after several trials, with different d9 guides, it still is stuck in the same place. How do you make a slider that moves across?

Thanks!

There's a theme I've been using, I'm wondering how hard it would be to replace a bunch of images and remove all of the custom icons it added?
[Android Themes] TUN_SD:
Use apk manager, Decompile the theme, rework the PNG, if you delete files, check the XML, where they was addressed and modify that. Check also drawables.xml, delete the lines of the deleted icons. Compile and test as often you can, to reproduce failures. Should. Done it too that way

[Android Themes] TUN_SD:
if it were that simple ...

you have to use apk manager, decompile the apk, edit your images, take care about the 9.png´s,

compile and sign (that´s just the short explanation, use search to find out. learning by doing is the best way, to learn that, believe me)

Hi guys,

Im totally new to android and have a question about themes.

I did read the stick on how to theme, and as a newbie, i find it very overwhelming.

What i would like to ask is, in order for me to use all of these cool themes, do i need a custom rom? Im currently using a Huawei Honor running Gingerbread. And at the moment, there seems to be no custom rom for it.

Thanks
[Android Themes] TUN_SD:
Yes, you should use a custom rom. And first of all, your phone has to be rooted.

But take a look at market. Choose a launcher, like go launcher, adw ex, etc. Then search for a theme for the choosen launcher like 'new miui', looks good,

Have fun

So, i can use these launchers without needing a custom rom and rooting my android?

Have had this question for a while...

Sometimes I will make an image (.png) in Photoshop and compile it with an apk. Works fine. Later on when I decide to decompile it and edit that same image again, it shows up fine as thumbnails in Windows Explorer, but when I open it again in Photoshop, it's a garbled mess and is uneditable. I could open it in MS Paint and it shows up perfectly fine, but then transparency is lost. Example is a battery I added the percentage to below. What's going on?
[Android Themes] TUN_SD:
Had this issue before. I open those files in paint.net, change something, delete the change and save. Should work. PS says, it is indexed, but i don't know why.

Another way is, make a backup of your files and edit those. Then copy to your destination folder. That way you can edit every time the files, which are compatible with PS.

Interlace .png's?

Does it matter whether or not i interlace when saving .png''s in photoshop?
[Android Themes] Meltus:
whatever photoshop selects by default is fine. (i think)

can't remember which one it is though lol ><
[Android Themes] manup456:
Which one of the problem your having?
[Android Themes] mannyb:
Interlacing is pretty much designed to help low bandwidth users view the picture (a dumbed down low res version of the picture, at least) quicker/earlier, after having downloaded just a fraction of all the total bytes the picture consists of. But nowadays everyone's on broadband so it's really not very useful at all. Always go with non interlaced.
[Android Themes] damnitpud:
Make sure you format the SDCard, download my theme here. Save it to your C: drive.

Download the JFRC30 v1.41 here and install it.

Then check the MD5 Hash on my theme, if you don't know how go here and download the md5sums-1.2.zip extract the file to your C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Now go to Start\Run, type in cmd then hit Ok type in md5sums.exe C:\fadetoblue.zip and match the hash to below.

FadetoBlue hash: 0b134262df7962f03f20cc519b966866

If it matches then install my theme. If after all this you still can not use themes then you need to do a factory reset(wipe)

Themes and next jf update

I just rooted my phone when jf 1.41 was released and since then have installed my first theme. So now I wonder what is the correct way to go about changing to jf's new update when it is released since these themes seem to be version specific? Is there a step-by-step process I should follow so things don't get messed up?
[Android Themes] xyrcncp:
I'm new to the Android scene, but like with every update/mod, I would assume that the themes would have to be "tested" against the new update. However, since the new update just came out and JF hasn't posted a modded version, I would say that there is no 100% correct answer to your question. This is of course, just my opinion.

I'm waiting on installing themes.
[Android Themes] Binary100100:
I'm curious to this myself. I love the Fade to Blue theme and I had just recently installed it. My guess is just like any other update (theme or not) it will write over the existing files thus loosing your theme. And that's the best case scenario. Worse case scenario is trying to update to RC33 and you may get an error. Should that occur I suggest using the standard RC30 update and then try updating to JF RC33 when it is released. Either way I would suggest backing everything up just in case.

As for myself, I have the RC30 Mulitouch with auto rotate and an auto rotate browser along with a custom theme. Something tells me that I will probably lose most of these with the new update. Oh well... small price to pay. Besides... I'm sure that it won't be too long until I can get updated to a JF RC33 Mulitouch with auto rotate browser with a Fade to Blue theme! :D
[Android Themes] dthadamaja:
I would definitely wait. I'm probably going to recompile my whole theme so that there are no problems with rc33. There is no telling what files have been changed since the update.

Flashing back original icons with multitouch broswer?

I flashed back to original icons but it always disables autorotate and multitouch. Can it be that the browser apk. is flashed back to original without auto-rotate. If so can someone please upload original icons with the multitouch browser already installed.
[Android Themes] MJPollard:
It's because Photoshop doesn't support indexed PNG files. Why, I don't know; if a free app like Paint.NET can do it, a powerful app like Photoshop should be able to as well after all this time. (FWIW, I use Paint.NET for 99% of my image needs, resorting to Photoshop Elements only when something really esoteric is necessary.)

So I've been trying to get This black theme to work, and for some reason the titles of my notifications don't want to turn white so that I can see them. I've also noticed that the mms backgrounds (in both the actual app and the popup) aren't turning black like they're supposed to, nor is the background in settings going black either (making it hard to read the white text). I also tried using This dark theme, but these problems are still there. I've even tried tinkering with the files to try and figure out the color/image variables and compare to other themes, but nothing seems different, and nothing I do works. I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue...does anyone know what's going on here?

But im still learning, got all tools ready, changing icons and some button colors...

I just need you guys to tell me which files should i modify, like where all the icons, buttons and the Rosie bar located at?

I know alot of them in com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk Rosie.apk, SystemUI.apk and Where else?

Im using Evo 3D sense 3.0 so i think locations might be little different than other android phones.

Oh, and another thing, What kind of ROM should i start making theme from?

Stock one, maybe Eternity or something else

Any other tips would be helpful!

Thanks you guys for helping out.
