okay guys, I'm unaware if anyone has covered this or not, but if it has been, I do apologize, just please point me in the right direction: I'm using a free limited version of a theme chooser theme to try and create my own theme, I've been getting some help from a few people as this is my first theme I have attempted to take on, my issue is if I want to make a fully themed theme chooser theme, what all needs to be added to the limited one? Also, I'm having a bit of an issue making this theme compatible for both AOKP and CM9, not sure how the code is to be directed, if there is a full base for an aokp/cm9 theme chooser template I would be more than happy to take a look at it :D:D:D

Not sure if this has been explained already or if I'm even in the right place to be asking this, so if it has and I am not in the right place, I sincerely apologize and just let me know and I'll be on my way. I have been trying forever to get the zdune's meizu settings patch to work with my CM7 rom and I can not get it to work for the life of me. Will somebody be willing to help me out here if i give them my framework and systemUI?

i'm trying to remove time from status bar.

phone is samsung galaxy s3 on verizon. for the life of me i cannot figure out how to remove time from status bar. any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated. also i'm not that great at editing xml files if that's what i would have to do. i mean i can obviously edit them but wouldn't know what to put or what to take out. so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
This is very, very, very easy indeed. You need to open up status_bar.xml and look for a line that starts something like <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock...

Yours might look slightly different but it'll be the same sort of thing. Delete that and...that's it!

I'm having trouble getting my theme's preview to show in theme Chooser. I've read that this is a problem with compiling within windows on some devices.

So now i have linux set up. What's the best way to compile themes in Linux? Eclipse? Apk tool? Apk manager?

Please advise.

I know the theme Chooser won't theme the lock screen so I have a flash able zip but how do I go about just editing an image that is an XML or how do I put it in the flash able zip? I have managed to theme other parts of the lock screen with this, just curious how to include the XML in a flash able zip? For the outer ring right now it looks like this

I'm trying to mod an existing custom rom for my own use. Im just changing some pngs.

I unzip it, use formatter to change framework res apk to rar, unpack it. Change my pngs, repack it, use formatter to change back to apk. (Do I need to sign it?) Zip up the folder with 7zip, set compression as store.( is this correct) . But when I go to install it in cwm it wont install. I'm clearly missing a step. Someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks
[Android Themes] gbkanju:
Thanks buddy ...
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
I never sign my ROM apks but you should at least zipalign them, and when adding it back to the CWM zip use Normal as the compression method, I only use store when replacing images.

Okay so apparently some apps are unthemed by the theme Chooser, for example web sharing, metamorph, and gallery...I don't know if someone has a complete list as to which apps can be themed and which ones can't? Apparently the issue with metamorph is there's no mipmap for the icon, even with that the app remains unthemed...web sharing has a package name of nextapp.websharing.HomeActivity so it won't recompile on images and XML code with capital letters, tried switching everything lowercase and still unthemed, thanks in advance

GO LAUNCHER EX QUESTION: There are quite a few themes out there that require Network Access / Full network access / Control Vibration / and View network connections!

Are these legitimate permissions? I noticed they started to appear after a certain Go Launcher Ex update, so I'm hoping it's theme related!

Here are a few free example themes:

All FREEDOM design themes:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.fnyle&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhdS5nby5sYXVuY2hlcmV4LnRoZW1lLkcuV2hpdGUiXQ..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5nby5sYXVuY2hlcmV4LnRoZW1lLkZELmNvbG9yZnVsIl0.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.cyrix&hl=en (ZT.ART) *** Most concerned, love these themes.

I'd really like to use these themes, but the permissions are so strange. I tried looking inside of them, (Simple life specifically which is a paid theme), and I found chinese that seemed to try to check the IP or phone # and if it started with a certain area code. I couldn't really tell what else it did.

Are these bad themes? Help would be greatly appreciated, themers!

Installing themes....

Hi y'all

Let me start out by saying.... DO NOT BASH THE DEVS! To the people out there "Bricking" phones, I am sorry to hear that.

I am not a dev or a programmer, for that matter.... hell I'm a country dude from p0-dunk Texas, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM I COULD NOT FIX!

Here is what I do... I install themes the old fashion way:

I download to my computer

Rename to update and move to my sdcard (I have it formatted to fat32) I got a 2gig nothing fancy

I power on the phone using home and power (red) at the same time

Hit Alt+L if you see an exclamation mark. Then Alt+s... I NEVER WIPE ( I find ANYTIME I WIPE I GET STUCK!!!!) I have tried performing a wipe before and after (on different occasions), nada I still get stuck .... So try with out wiping, that seems to work for me.

I wait and let it do its thing, then reboot when it tells me so by home + back.

It usually does not take long for the new theme to be installed.

I am running rc33 1.41 and have been doing this since rc30 1.31.

I have a copy of rc29 on my sdcard at all times in case something happens, I can always hit the camera and power and reinstall rc29 and just start from scratch.... NEVER FAILED ME.

AGAIN DO NOT BASH DEVS, they do not force ANYONE to install their themes. ON TOP OF EVERYTHING THEY DO IT FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (that's right sam malone style). I wish y'all were mechanics!!

I have tried ALMOST ALL the themes for rc33 using this method and I must say I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS (not that I can see anyways). Hell, yesterday I ran Teknotiq, Hybrid, Skully, and last but not lease almost all the BUUF(S). As of now I am running BUUF beta brown on rc33 with no problems.

Hope this helps.

You have transparent PNGs but you have them on a black background. Have you tried loading them with a non-black background and seeing if it works? Everything I try ends up with the transparent areas being black.

Edit: Just tried it with your robot.png and robot_glow.png images from BUUF blue on a non-black background and the transparent areas come out as black. I think this just cannot be done.

Is there any theme, which doesn't have a battery symbol, but a percentage? I saw one with battery symbol + percentage. But i like it simple.

The main reason is, that right now (i still have the std theme) the battery symbol is green (and shows half full), but the power manager says like 35%.

RE: Icons

When it comes to icons you can use any icons to anytheme and switch them out. Also you can download icon packs for the iphone and they will work as well.

I have a video that I posted on you tube on how to change icons. Type bms122223 in the video search bar and my change icons video will show up. Double click and watch away. Good Luck!

Id think the only way to change just the clock would be the same way to change any other item, repackage the original theme with the modified clock to your stylings. Unless a 3rd party clock widget is made that mirrors the stock but can be customized.
[Android Themes] MOONSSPOON:
Look into the applytheme universal theme application tool. You will be able to replace ONLY the 3 clock files (minute, hour, and dial) and leave the rest of your current theme as it is. Great tool.

Just wondering, but how will you install the rc29 that you have on your sd card, if it is not named update.zip?

So what I'm saying is that lets say you try to install a theme and you put the theme on the root of your sd card, name it update.zip, and it gets stuck on the boot screen and you can't do anything. Although you have rc29 on the card, how will you change its name to update.zip, delete the theme off the root of the sd card, and move rc29 to the root of the sd card. Is there someway of installing it that isn't alt s? Or do you keep it there just in case you are somewhere that doesn't have internet to download rc29, and you can put the sd card into a reader and move it around/change names that way? Thanks!

I got some questions:

1st one:

In this Picture you see a grey Area which i have marked in Red. I like to know how to change that Background.

Now its grey i like to have it in black.

2nd one:

In this Picture the Background of the Message-List is Black. I like to change that.

Maybe it is possible to use the Background of this marked area .

I think this is the "\framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\background_holo_dark.png" Picture that we see there.

So somewhere its set to use Black background.

How to change that?

Hi guys! I've a problem... i've tried to make the default text color of the statusbar dark-grey, but it remains white: I dont succeed! Can anyone help me? If you havent understood, this is a screen:

Should be simple enough. Probably. Can you supply your framework-res.apk as well?
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
Okay, I did the edit for you... it should work (I changed it to gray like you wanted). If it doesn't work its because I didn't have the right framework-res.apk, in which case you will need to upload that for me. However, in case you want to do it yourself, you can just change the line

<item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>

in the drawables.xml located in /res/values to whatever color you want (I used #ff969696).

Hey guys! Can somebody be so kind and tell me where i can change the font color of the notifications in the statusbar please:o? I mean when it's pulled down. My themes are black and the font color is also black. Is it in the framework or systemui? What it is called? Could it be that it's not in every theme? But where can i change it when it's not in it? :confused:So many questions, sorry for that! thanks!

I'm on miui gb by the way.
[Android Themes] :
Sorry, but it's not changed... The colour of the text that compare when you're listening to the music, for example, remained white...

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I could be wrong, but I think this is something controlled by the actual applications that make those notifications.
[Android Themes] timonkatze:
I don't think so. It's always black. When a download is finished, info about updates in playstore and so on. Every notification.:banghead:
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yes...but I think that's by choice, not something the system is enforcing. I was looking at how to control notifications for a mod I had in mind (which didn't work..never mind) and there is a lot of stuff about them being controlled by the app.

Also, an earlier version of ES File Explorer I had used white notificaton text...which was on a background coloured white by my rom. Very useful!

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think you'll be able to do this one. :(

First is ringtone selection, second is network-mode selection and third is at gmail preferences.

Maybe somebody can help me here:

I like to change the Bar on Top and Bottom to transparent. So that it all shows the same BG like in the Rest. So the Holo one.

Like you see it here:

Where can i find that Strings i need to change?
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
This is just a guide as there are differences between roms.

The easiest way to sort the top bit out would be to make ab_stacked_opaque_dark_holo.9.png in contacts transparent. If you don't want to do that you'd have to edit this in contacts styles to point to a different image.

<style name="DialtactsActionBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:displayOptions"></item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">@drawable/ab_stacked_opaque_dark_holo</item>
<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@null</item>
</style>

Same again with this if you don't want to edit the image you would have to change

for the top:

<style name="ContactsActionBarStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/ab_solid_custom_blue_inverse_holo</item>
<item name="android:displayOptions"></item>
<item name="android:backgroundStacked">@drawable/ab_solid_custom_blue_inverse_holo</item>
</style>

for the bottom:

I think because the above style doesn't have

<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@null</item>

It gets it from Widget.Holo.Light.ActionBar.Solid.Inverse which is ab_bottom_solid_inverse_holo in framework on mine.

I don't know what yours will be like but that should give you an idea what you need to change.
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
Thats awesome. I found a bit of that myself but not all. But now i get it all. :)

Thank you so much. Why do you know that all? How did you found out?

So, because iam lazzy and dont like to work on the png i added transparent color to the strings. Easy thing :)

And i just added the String "<item name="android:backgroundSplit">@null</item>" to the last Style and it works too.

The @null means to not use this Part..right?

Thats what it looks like now :)

Oh, maybe you know where to change the Color of the Numbers that i want to call. So above it would be the "02359/85000"

One more :)

Where can i change the Line color? I want to get rid of it.

[Android Themes] m1keyb:
You're welcome glad you've sorted it :) Just by looking at layouts and styles and with a little help from google sometimes (which funnily enough quite often leads back here...)

If you can identify an image being used e.g ab_stacked_opaque_dark_holo if you use notepad++ / search / find in files of your apk and that'll help you locate things.

You may be lazy lol but consider yourself lucky you can change your contacts styles ;) Yeah that's right, you could probably use that on the other line as well i've never tried.

I'm not totally sure of this but try dialpad_fragment.xml

<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DigitsEditText android:textAppearance="@style/DialtactsDigitsTextAppearance" android:textColor="?android:textColorPrimary" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/digits" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:nextFocusRight="@id/overflow_menu" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

I'm not sure about that but i'll have a look later if you haven't found it. I haven't much time at the moment.
