You are trying to change the icon correct? Have you tried all the mipmap drawable locations? Did you changed all of them or only one?
[Android Themes] chupes_on:
Hi, I'm not changing the icon directly on the apk, I'm just trying to "tell" the drawer to read the custom icon via the redirections.xml file. I believe that in this case all I have to do is give the path of the original and the custom icon in the following way:

<resource-redirections>
<item name="mipmap/ic_launcher">@drawable/com_google_android_apps_maps_ic_launcher</item>
</resource-redirections>

without further specifications of the mipmap folder.

I am making cm11 new theme but when I debug the great cm 11 theme to my phone via usb ( usb debugging ) ,

[Android Themes] hoppermi:
Look at logcat of install, it will show where the error is.
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
For new theme engine, you use either eclipse ADT version, or android studio to build theme.
[Android Themes] MJPollard:
No other way? Can't use apktool.jar from the command line? (I'm using Windows 7.) Having to manually compile each and every theme from Eclipse or Android Studio each time I make changes is going to be a pain in the ass if so; right now, I can use scripts (aka batch files) to auto-compile all of my themes, which makes things easy and convenient.
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
You probably can, but everyone I've talked with is very happy with the change. It is only a few clicks to build your project and push to device.
[Android Themes] MJPollard:
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of GUIs. :) But, I'm also very old school (I cut my teeth during the CP/M days), and know that repetitive tasks are best accomplished via automated scripts. I've got eight themes that are identical save for the colors -- not available to the public yet; I'm always tweaking! -- and right now, compiling them all for the legacy theme chooser is a simple matter of typing "update.bat" (to update all the themes) followed by "build.bat" (to compile them all). I've even got more scripts to automatically generate the different colored PNGs using a base set (red) and a program to shift the HSL values, optimize them, and place them into their appropriate directories. A perfected system like this would be hard to give up. :D I'll see about compiling via the command line once the new theme chooser has fully "settled down" and I find the time to convert one of my themes to the new format.
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Try this with apktool:

1. Decompile a theme developed for the new theme engine

2. Recompile the folder

3. Sign and push the new apk to your phone

4. The installation will fail...

That's what I already tried but I will maybe have more luck. Moreover I didn't try with the latest apktool.jar
[Android Themes] sid21:
So whats the method?

i have a linux machine running arch linux

new to using themes, because i am an avid PA user, they recently implemented the CM theme engine. Now first question, in launchers like nova you can individually set an icon. Is that possible to do with GNL and a specific theme.

Basically i would like to set my Evolve SMS app icon to the generic regular themed message icon. since there is no themed EVolve sms icon.

any help would be great thanks.

So, I'm using CM11 with Hover notifications.

Problem is, when I use a theme, Hovers background becomes almost 100% transparent, making it unreadable. :eek:

Has this problem been discussed already?
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
To me, it looks like the background is a wallpaper(picture, frame, and light bottom half) using an icon pack and a transparent weather widget.
[Android Themes] GODSPD:
OK, that's a start, the zip file contains only icons... How do I install them? I mainly use next launcher... and what are the missing weather, calendar, lockscreen widgets ect...? the icons are a start, but whats next?
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
It depends on themes you use. No issue here.
[Android Themes] neo2k12:
Yeah I figured..

But is there a way to theme HOVER after all? I can't find any clues where its colors are determined.

idk. I think Hover uses the default framework.

[Android Themes] Primokorn:
How could we know???

BTW read the last post from GermainZ.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
As far as I know, you can't install an icon pack from a zip. You can extract the zip to its own folder and use the icon picker of the launcher to find the folder and its contents and change individual icons that way. The folder can be placed anywhere you'd like. You can only install icons via an apk file.

Hi guys! I have more questions and I'mma say sorry in advance...

<hr>

​

How can I change the blue background behind the icon of this notification to another color?

------------------------

​

How can I change the color of the text in the quick setting tiles? See, it isn't visible with the light colors...

And I also have a problem with the "dynamic" tiles e.g. equalizer and heads up icon... is there a code to change those colors as well? And is it possible to change the background of these tiles into something weird like an octagon?

------------------------

​

Is it possible to change the on/off icons? Please tell me how... I've looked into other themes and I can't seem to replicate how they did it... Also, I want to ask if the "section headers" e.g. Wireless & Networks, Personalization can be shown like in my concept above? And is it possible for the battery icon to look like that?

------------------------

SUMMARY OF MY QUESTION: HOW TO ADD A BUTTON ON EXPANDED STATUS BAR AND OPEN AN APP ACTIVITY

I've been trying to make 4.2.2 quick setting on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 Jelly Bean using guides here in XDA and I stumble upon AntTek Quick Setting App and I said hey why not use this and incorporate a button that will open AntTek Quick Setting App and to make it short this is my progress so far

-->I already successfully added a functional button(#1 in the screenshot below)

-->Found out that when you click AntTek Quick Settings Pro Notification(#2 in screenshot below) it will open the status bar expanded of AntTek Quicksetting just like in a stock 4.2.2 quick setting

-->Found out that I could use the button(#1 in screenshot) to call an activity e.g. for settings = <FrameLayout android:id="@id/settings_button" android:tag="com.android.settings,com.android.settings.Settings" by editing system ui and xml might be useful to call AntTek Quick Setting

-->Found all activity of AntTek on AndroidManifest by decompiling it

QUESTION

1. What could possibly trigger to open AntTek Quicksetting(#3 in screenshot) by pressing the AntTek Notification (#2 in screenshot)

2. How to call that function and add it to system ui in the button(#1 in screenshot) ive made?

[IMG="screenshot"]http://i61.tinypic.com/j59fk8.png[/IMG]

***NOTE***

Im not trying to hack AntTek Quick Setting nor using it for other benefit
[Android Themes] MJPollard:
They could also be in a different file. For the latest CM ROMs it's cm_colors.xml, for the latest Carbon ROMs it's cr_colors.xml, etc. Just pull them from that file and add them to your theme's com.android.settings\res\values\colors.xml and you'll be good to go (I just tried it and it worked).

It'd be nice if they could also add a new color entry for the text. Right now, it's hard-coded to black, and while that shows up fine on lighter colors, it's almost impossible to see on dark colors (like blue). For dark colors, it'd be handy if you could change it to, say, white or light gray.
[Android Themes] Sheeezy:
1.) Can somebody tell me if I can resize the quicksettings tiles in the notificationbar ?

The theme Flux has waaaay to big tiles so that only 5 can be displayed while other themes can

Show 6 or 7.

Is there any way to modify a existing file ?

2.) is there a theme which immitates the full quicksetting tiles to look like the S5 ?
