I got LG P930, it's without amoled so therefor I'm not concerned of darkish themes. I'd remain on stock but i) 'tis not localized and ii) stock only 4.0.4 not 4.1 JB and I'd rather have JB. Thanks

I think it's more appropriate to answer in that topic to not offtopic in here
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
I think it will be done with "SmaliBaksmali". And iam very interesstet in that Mod too. I always was thinking about that. So when i press the clock in statusbar it will open the DeskClock for setting a alarm.
[Android Themes] SXUsr:
You don't need to sign system apks.

That's normal, they will be rebuilt when you recompile, then all you need to do is extract the resources.arsc then drag and drop it straight back to the new recompiled apk, if you use WinRar then choose store as the compression method then you should zipalign before final use.
[Android Themes] Basian Mile:
After i compiled the apk i just drop in the Original "AndroidManifest.xml" and "META-INF". Thats it. Zipalign is important of course!

I search the String which is putting a blackish shadow on the Statusbar. So the Icons there are looking a bit darker then they are original. Somebody knows where is it?
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You don't need a jar for that. As long as the app you want to start broadcasts an intent, you just need to use a bit of smali and a bit of xml in status_bar.xml.

Unfortunately smali's still a mystery to me..lol

Theme Manage Applications

Hi all,

I am having a few issues with theming the manage applications in settings.apk. I have a Motorola Electrify with 2.3.5 installed on it. I am wanting to change the background from white to black which I have no problem doing, however when I change it to black background the app name stays black in the downloaded, all and media area but the running section turns out perfect.

here is a screenshot of what i am dealing with.

Hi!

I made my first theme for go launcher ex, and post it on the market. The problem is that after installing it on the phone, I want to activate but appears as loading. If I install the apk theme works correctly.

Anyone know what happens?
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
Sorry for confusing you, I was talking about a .jar file in framework.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Your settings.apk will be different to mine but in your manage_applications_item do you have id's like these? android:id="@id/app_name" android:id="@id/app_size" android:id="@id/app_disabled"

If you do, just add a textcolor to those TextView's e.g

<TextView android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" android:textStyle="bold" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:id="@id/app_name" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="2.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />

[CODE]<TextView android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" [COLOR="Red"]android:textColor="#ffffffff"[/COLOR] android:textStyle="bold" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:id="@id/app_name" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="2.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />

[/CODE]

That should work, if it doesn't post your settings.apk
[Android Themes] Planters76:
m1keyb,

Thanks for your advice however that didn't work. i have attach the decompile apks in a rar file, god speed with you because I have been at this for a week now
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Got them thanks I'll have a look on my lunch break. It won't take another week :)
[Android Themes] Planters76:
Thanks once again. I am starting to think that maybe it might be in the framework
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
I managed to do a quick test, I changed my theme to holo light and added 3 colors to those textviews in manage_applications_item.xml

As you can see the app's title has changed on the app info page but not on the main one.

I'll have a look at theme.black and send you a test to try...
[Android Themes] Planters76:
I can not view the pictures
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Sorry the xda app sucks :eek: here's some updated ones :)

If you have a look at the manifest and styles you'll be able to see what I've done, you can delete or edit as necessary and that should work.
[Android Themes] henry_gale:
Can anyone post these in full size?
[Android Themes] Planters76:
That looks nice, when I get home tonight I will give it a shot
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
OK let me know if it works, it should do...you can delete all the colors you don't want I just left them in there to illustrate how you would make changes or test things in the apk rather than touching framework.
[Android Themes] Planters76:
That is amazing work there, how and where did you learn to do all that with the code, also where can I go to learn more about what each color code does? I love examples :good:

I do got some bad news tho, it did not do anything for the downloaded, all and media area, it did for application info and running. However in AndroidManifest.xml, I had to change on line 340 and 353 to mytheme for your theme colors to show up.

This is 1 thing that is totally driving me nuts, I know it has to be in settings somewhere because it did change the background color from white to black in all 4 areas when line 340 was change from light to black.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Just looking at themes from the recognised themers and learning from them :) and android developers that'll help you understand things.

I'm not sure what you mean by color code, do you mean the hex's or the actual lines?

If i'm following you right (it's late I should sleep lol) try adding this to the mytheme style

<item name="android:actionBarTabTextStyle">@style/Widget.ActionBar.TabText</item>

<style name="Widget.ActionBar.TabText" parent="@android:style/Widget">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@android:style/TextAppearance.Widget.TextView.PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textSize">18.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">your_color_here</item>
</style>

Once you know what theme the app is using you can literally just go through framework styles and add things from there...you'd need to add the '@android:' & 'android:' bits else you'll get errors compiling, it's very much trial and error initially.
[Android Themes] Planters76:
I am talking about the code line in general. Unfortunately the Electrify doesn't have many themes that involve the settings.

You know ever since I started this theme project I have gotten some sleep lol. What does this code do?

The manage applications xmls that I have edited so far have change everything except for the app name and with your help on taking out the framework theme and creating settings own theme code could it be possible that the app name color theme could be in ui apk?
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
I doubt it would be. On my settings using the same code textColorPrimaryInverseDisableOnly changed it *bangs head against wall*

I've added 5 extra lines in the hope that traces it if you would like to try again.

If that doesn't work maybe it's in smali...I don't know to be honest!
[Android Themes] pabloltg:

[Android Themes] Planters76:
I will give that a shot and I will let you know. I had a suspicion myself that it maybe the smali's. I am going to catch up on those code line definitions this weekend
[Android Themes] Planters76:
Ok, I gave it a shot and it get's errors.

I see you add these codes to styles

<item name="android:textColorTertiary">#ff94802e</item>

<item name="android:textColorTertiaryInverse">#ffb7ad83</item>

<item name="android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle">@style/Widget.TextView.ListSeparator</item>

<item name="android:textAppearanceListItem">@style/My.TextAppearance.Large</item>

<item name="android:textAppearanceListItemSmall">@style/My.TextAppearance.Large</item>

<style name="Widget.TextView.ListSeparator" parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView.ListSeparator">

<item name="textColor">#ffb034d4</item>

Do these 2 codes need to say

name="android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle">@style/My.Widget.TextView.ListSeparator</item>

name="android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle">@style/My.Widget.TextView.ListSeparator</item>

This is something I am dealing with also, it has been beating me up for over a week now
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
It's just the textColor needs android: before it, everything else was ok but I don't think it will work :(

It doesn't matter what you call that style because it's a style you're adding yourself within the styles of that apk, you do however have to make sure that if there's a parent defined in the style that it's named correctly according to framework styles.

So for example it could be

name="android:listSeparatorTextViewStyle">@style/abcd

As long as you have a style named abcd that's what it'll use.

If you have an appwidgetpicker.apk in your rom you can change it in that, if you don't I think it's textAppearanceMediumInverse in framework needs a color adding to it iirc
[Android Themes] pabloltg:
In styles.xml or some especific xml in layout folder?
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Yeah it's in framework-res styles.xml it's actually textAppearanceLargeInverse not what I mentioned previously.

Edit: but having said that I've never looked at Moto ginger stock and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another!

Have you created a theme, applied it and that's crashing settings? If you have, navigate to data/app with a file explorer delete the apk of your theme and reboot.

All the other aspects of settings is working fine except for the themes section. I did however download a theme directly from Google play tried finding the apk for that but its not there but its no use since I can't access the theme section in settings at all.

I found out where the color lies, it is in Settings.apk/res/values/colors.xml.

Here is the current code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<color name="black">#ff000000</color>

<color name="red">#ffff0000</color>

<item type="color" name="lock_pwd_background">@android:color/background_light</item>

<item type="color" name="text_color">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="color" name="look_10_text_color_in_black_background">@android:color/secondary_text_dark</item>

</resources>

The <item type="color" name="text_color">@android:color/black</item> points to framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml. Also in framework-res.apk/res/values/colors.xml there is <color name="white">#ffffffff</color> so this is what i did for Settings.apk/res/values/colors.xml, added a new line for white.

<item type="color" name="text_color">@android:color/white</item> then I change <item type="color" name="text_color">@android:color/black</item> to

<item type="color" name="text_color_black">@android:color/black</item> so after it is all said and done this is what the new code looks like in Settings.apk/res/values/colors.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<color name="black">#ff000000</color>

<color name="red">#ffff0000</color>

<item type="color" name="lock_pwd_background">@android:color/background_light</item>

<item type="color" name="text_color">@android:color/white</item>

<item type="color" name="text_color_black">@android:color/black</item>

<item type="color" name="look_10_text_color_in_black_background">@android:color/secondary_text_dark</item>

</resources>

Now I am not done yet, there are 2 xmls in the Settings.apk that use android:textColor="@color/text_color". Settings.apk/res/layout/choose_lock_password.xml and Settings.apk/res/layout-land/choose_lock_password.xml. What I did was change this to android:textColor="@color/text_color_black"

When you replaced the .9.png's, did you alter the 1 pixel thick border at all?

This isn't a framework issue, this is probably a question of syntax. Is line 9 in status_bar_expanded.xml correctly written?
