[Android Themes] ejatds:
i was wondering, how do people (not just themers, but also for apps/games developers) create the same graphic for many resolutions? i created a lockscreen add-on for my theme on hdpi devices, but it looks a little messed up on xhdpi. would there be any easy way to scale the images to the xhdpi size without losing any quality?

thanks
[Android Themes] Calvini:
I'm really newbie with the theming, and I'm also curious about ejatds' question
[Android Themes] phadly:
you need to make drawable-hdpi for hdpi resolution and drawable-xhdpi for bigger resolution..same images in both folders but different in sizes and pixels..
[Android Themes] ejatds:
how would i know what the pixel size should be on the xhdpi version? also, if i scale it up would it turn out pixelized? would you recommend always creating the xhdpi image, and then scaling it down to hdpi?

also, how would i know what aspects scale automatically by the rom? (ie: toggle sliders made for hdpi look normal on xhdpi, but signal/wifi strength bars look a little small)

thank you! (sorry for all the questions!)

How can i change themes in my micromax A10
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
The best thing is to create an image big enough for xhdpi and put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder. You can then put the same image, without resizing it in the other drawable folders.

In theory, Android will automatically resize icons in the drawable-whateverdpi folders to fit whatever resolution the phone is. So, for instance, you could put a 100x100 image into drawable-xhdpi and it'll be automatically resized to 80x80 on a xhdpi phone, 70x70 on a hdpi phone, 60x60 on mdpi, 50x50 on ldpi.

I'm making up the numbers but you get the idea.

Images in drawable-nodpi don't get resized.

Some xhdpi images might not look too good resized down to hdpi. In which case, you'll just have to make new images specifically for hdpi.

I keep getting this problem with xml files. I've decompiled with apktool, apk manager, ninjamorph, and extracted... but the xmls are always like this no matter the editor either.

I believe it's due to android's binary format. I've tried aXML but that didn't work either.

If you know how I can fix this please share, I'm close to giving up on themeing until I figure it out.
[Android Themes] Ryuinferno:
Are you sure you decompiled the apk? It looks more like you extracted the xmls from the apk directly...:confused:
[Android Themes] ickk:
Pretty confident but I'll do it again for good measure.

edit: fixed, decided to use a different decompiler and I have a readable xml file now

Hi there! I need some help I have an ICS theme installed for theme chooser and it is great but have a little bug on call time/date the text is black on black background and I whant to fix it, do you know what .xml need to edit to get this text white? I don't know if it's in phone.apk or contacts.apk I'm on CM7
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Best thing is to decompile the theme file itself and have a look at the files it changes. It still means wading through lots of xml but it should be easier.
[Android Themes] DorianX:
The theme doesn't affect the text of that area, CM7 comes with the black text by default

Hi! I'm looking for a good starting point for creating an Apex Launcher theme. If any of you themers have a good Android SDK template with most system icons in place, I'd really appreciate it. Having the manually search for app ID:s can be a bit tiring so a template could speed up the development a lot.
[Android Themes] marshygeek:
Hi just wanna ask how do i change the icons of a certain app like messaging for eg. if i have its .png file? :) thanks.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Probably the easiest way is to open the apk file on a PC with 7zip or something similar. Then have a look in the drawable folders for the current icon and replace it with a new icon, making sure to keep the name the same.

If it's a system app, you then need to push it back to your phone and make sure the permissions are right. A reboot may be needed to see the change.

If it's not a system app, you just need to reinstall it.
[Android Themes] marshygeek:
Thanks. One more thing, am using JB Slimbean Rom on my SGSL i9003 and when i apply the downloaded theme from theme chooser, not all icons are changing but in the screenshot provided, it is themed but when i tried mine, nothing was changed but some icons are changed. I already tried rebooting.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Sounds like a faulty theme. You should contact the themer who made it and get them to fix it.

Hi :]

I open some app of icon pack, because i try to change icons on it (just for learn) and in MANIFEST.IN i found this:

Name: res/drawable-mdpi/com_haxor_screenfilter.png
SHA1-Digest: cX5WSbvbv0oulvenr2qTwKZsHgU=

What is SHA1-Digest? This is something important for MANIFEST.IN? SHA1 is something like a md5 checksum for .tar/.zip files?

I am a beginner in theming/making icon packs, but i am still learning (mainly from XDA - a lot of guides/tools/tutorials. Our little Internet Library ;]).

Hi, i had to ask because i found something strange that is acting against code.

In status_bar_expanded.xml, there is this part of code in my froyo rom(almost in any rom i guess):

<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<ScrollView android:id="@id/scroll" android:fadingEdge="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.server.status.NotificationLinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notificationLinearLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
[COLOR="Red"]<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBarTitle" android:id="@id/noNotificationsTitle" android:background="@drawable/title_bar_portrait" android:paddingLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_no_notifications_title" />
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBarTitle" android:id="@id/ongoingTitle" android:background="@drawable/title_bar_portrait" android:paddingLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_ongoing_events_title" />[/COLOR]
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/ongoingItems" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
[COLOR="red"]<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBarTitle" android:id="@id/latestTitle" android:background="@drawable/title_bar_portrait" android:paddingLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_latest_events_title" />[/COLOR]
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/latestItems" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.android.server.status.NotificationLinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/title_bar_shadow" android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</FrameLayout>

Since for jb layout, as we need to eliminate no notifications, ongoing title and latest title, i first kept the height as 0.0 dip. It's still showing. Then i deleted textappearance and kept text size as zero and colour as #00000000. Still it's showing. I then kept width as zero. Even then it's showing. Atlast i deleted those lines(marked in red) and still no effect at all :eek::confused:

I mean how on this Earth is that possible. I tried setting just height to zero on cm7 rom. It worked very fine.

Can someone guess what must be happening here? :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Use the parameter 'android:visibility="gone"' on each tag that you want the phone not to show.

If they still show afterwards, then you're either editing the wrong xml or there's something with how the apk is being pushed back to the phone.
[Android Themes] V!KR@M:
Thanks for the reply

Tried android:visibility="gone". But still no effect at all. I'm making changes with both status_bar_latest_content_event and status_bar_expanded simultaneously and testing it. Changes that are made to status_bar_latest_content_event works but the changes that are made to status_bar_expanded doesn't work.

I'm just copying the compiled xmls as well as resources.arsc to my base framework in winrar without extracting. Doesn't know what's going wrong here. :confused:

Edit:

sorry my mistake and sorry for wasting your time. The correct file to edit is in twframework-res.apk. But i was editing the file having same name in framework-res.apk
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You'll often find duplicate xml and icons in twframework-res.apk, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

Basically, anything that's in framework-res.apk is superseded by the same thing in the other files.

I've succesfully changed the global color title in notification, like "New Message", "Missed calls" etc..but when i connect the phone to PC with ADB active, i have the notify title in white (probably is "DEBUG Active") and the sub-line in gray (like the message contets, so it's styled)..

The same things happen to USB Debug & Input Method notification icon, i have the black background with gray stripes, but i alrady have the notify icon BG styled for all the others apps (like sms, whatsapp, ecc..)

Someone can help me?
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
Have at look in your styles.xml in the SystemUI.apk, possibly StatusBar.Tab.

Nope i mean just for the USB Debug and Input Method, that's how it look now:;

As you can see the other notification are styled correctly, ecxcept for this and "input method"..like the Icon BG..

Idea for a theme. Opinions? [Mockup Inside]

Hey all. For a while now I've had a rough idea for a theme (that I would like), but I still haven't received my ADP1 (I ordered it from Google/Brightstar two weeks ago) so I can't really try my ideas out "for real". Not sure it's possible to theme the Android emulator?

To be honest I'm not sure I could do it anyways, seems like a lot of work to get everything working, and I am amazed by the hard work the theme guys at this forum must put in to make everything work.

What I can do, and what I did, is to create the icons and wallpapers and that kind of stuff. So, using that material I thought I'd make a mockup of my "vision" to see what you guys think.. and to possibly pick up a few ideas and pointer from y'all.

Also, if anyone out there with theme skills would like to team up with me, so to speak, I would be more than happy to do part of the graphics (icons, wallpaper, some graphical elements) if you do the rest (i.e. signing the files and making the whole thing work in real life).

Ok, that was a lot of text that I'm sure most of you will never read.. so let's get on with it. Here's my idea for a theme. Thoughts?
