More stuff I just can't understand: I can successfully overwrite or delete bootanimation.zip in system/media, but now it mysteriously gets replaced with the one from Emanon ROM. I can verify I've overwritten it by copying it back to the SDcard and opening it on my computer, and I can verify it's been changed by doing the same thing after a reboot.

It's got me stumped... this only started happening after I'd been trying for a while; at first I thought I'd copied the wrong file until it became apparent this was its new behaviour... it seems the macro logical-ness(?) of a device that's perfectly logical at the micro level is inversely proportional to its complexity. Which I already knew, but I was hoping it'd either be more linear than that or that an Android jigger wasn't nearly as complex as a PC. *sigh*

Theming in MIUI v4

I'm just switching to the HTC Sensation 4G from an Acer Liquid E running MIUI. I'm having a lot of problems with the last GB-based version of MIUI (2.2.24), so I want to move on. I'm pretty sure I read before that MIUI v4 is having a lot of issues with theming. However, I can't seem to find anything on the topic anymore! Can someone comment on the current status of MIUI's themeability?

P.S., if you're reading this and are also a Sensation user, do you have any recommendations for ROMs that are as easily themed as MIUI? I'm referring to ALL the elements, like the status bar, framework, icon packs, etc., not just the launcher + lockscreen.

1) What's the best ROM for themes and customizing(roms that have the most themes)?

2) Do themes need to be made for particular phone or only ROM? example: a theme will run as long as the phone has cm7 installed , doesn't matter the phone.

Thanks

I posted this question in the official uot thread, but it doesn't seem to be all that lively with help so i thought i'd ask here as well as someone into theming might know the answer

Simply put, can i use UOT to theme an odexed JVU custom (not stock odex JVU) rom?

And if so, i haven't got any version of touchwiz launcher in my phone, but my calculator and phone are touchwized, so would i need to upload the touchwiz-res.apk along with the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk?

And in the file upload tab on the site, where it says select flashable zip scripting im on clockword mod 5.0.2.7. Do I select edify scripting or amend scripting.

You need to make sure, that your pngs are a little bit smaller INSIDE your file, if they are to close to the frame, they will be stretched and you`ll still see the same size on your device.

I have some similar problem!! My powermenu popup is grey and I've successfully changed the text color to white, this is it:-

The main strings(arrplane mode, silent mode etc.) were already white in my case, but the descriptions below them were black, and so hardly visible. But i've now solved it by changeing TextColor.Small.Inverse to white, but it created another problem!! This is it!!----

In messaging app(Mms.apk) the description text has too become white!!:(

Now i am unable to find the XML in mms.apk to change that to black!

Any6 help?? If someone can tell me where the color for powermenu description is located, i can change that itself and revert changes in TextColor.Small.Inverse and that shud solve it!!!

Any help is appreciated!!:)

How do I edit the manifest of system apps without breaking signatures? Usually when editing systemapps I copy over the old manifest to get it working, but that defeats the whole purpose when it's the manifest I want to edit :/
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
You can edit the Manifest, signatures are in META-INF folder. I did that many times in various apps like vending, settings eg. in order to invert them or add transparency. So don`t worry, copying original Manifest`as a must is one of the old Myth`s, that`s still around these days...
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Hmm, that's actually what I thought as well, but everytime I try to invert the settings (ICS) to white, the system refuses to recognize the app :/ I have looked through it and checked that all the styles I refer to is in the styles.xml as well, but it just doesn't work :/
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I inverted settings to white succesfully a few months ago, when I still owned the GN and it was pretty painless compared to inverting other apps, since no additional layout files were involved. That was just a quick proof of concept, since someone asked in GN forum how to do that.
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Still can't get it working :/ Could you, or someone else take a look please? That would've been awesome :) I don't see why it doesn't work...

Theming Pop Up Menu

I am currently porting a theme to the Galaxy S2 and everything has worked perfectly apart from the theming of some of the popup menus. The attachments should give a better understanding of my problem rather than explaining it.

Basically from the little understanding I have of themes I have tried to solve this problem my self both from using this thread and other theming guides but with no luck. I have looked in the framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi and all the popup_bottom etc images seem to be there. I can only think it involves editing an .xml which is currently beyond my capabilities at the moment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
that's definitely not in xml... idk off the top of my head the png... but there's a "top" "bottom" and "middle" png and it looks like you got the top/bottom but missed the middle... look around the area of where the top/bottom png's are and see if there's a "middle" png that was accidentally made transparent (from the looks of your screenshots)... hope that helps!
[Android Themes] burgess_boy:
Thanks for the help.

The image files I have which relate to popups are:

popup_bottom_bright.9.png

popup_bottom_dark.9.png

popup_bottom_medium.9.png

popup_center_bright.9.png

popup_center_dark.9.png

popup_center_medium.9.png

popup_full_bright.9.png

popup_full_dark.9.png

popup_top_bright.9.png

popup_top_dark.9.png

None appear to be transparent either
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Try to replace the center ones with some you know are working, from the base Rom for example. Then we'll know if they are the issue or not :)
[Android Themes] burgess_boy:
Yes i tried that before, still brings up the same issue though which is why I suspected it was another problem aside from the images

It only seems to occur with popups that have headings. Popups without headings, for instance the power menu popup is completely fine
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Hmm, what about the full pngs? Have you tried changing those?

Edit: have you done anything to the styles .xml ?

Non-black boot splash & transparent animated PNGs

I've been messing around quite a bit with trying to get transparent PNGs to work on the animated boot splash screen, stored in framework-res.apk, with a non-black background. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, but now I suspect that it just won't work.

No matter what I do, the transparent parts of the PNGs end up black, which is of course fine for the standard boot screen, but I'd like a non-black background. I suspect it's not going to work due to the way the screen is composited using alpha transparency during the rendering (thus, overriding the transparency in the PNG).

Has anyone had any luck getting the animated robot images to work with transparency on a non-black background?
[Android Themes] sino8r:

Hope someone can help me. I am trying to make my first theme for theme chooser CM9.

I am using an existing theme as a template and working from there.

My question is related to icons. If I have an existing icon in the theme named " com_android_browser_ic_launcher_browser " I am pretty sure I can use a different icon and name it the same thing.

What do I do if I want to add an icon and there is not an existing icon in the theme to replace ?

Thank you
[Android Themes] Habarug:
I haven't done it on CM9, but pretty sure it's the same as CM/ :) Go to the XML folder and open redirections.xml . Copy one of the lines there and put in the package name of the app you want to theme instead of the one which is there. Note that one part of it needs - instead of . . Now copy one of the other XMLs in there, and delete all the lines in there except for the xmlns thingy and <resurses> thingies and the one which contains the ic_launcher_*****. Replace the **** with your app name, or whatever. Just make sure the png you put in drawable-`**** matches this name. Rename the XML to your package name with - instead of . .

I've proabably forgotten something, just look in there and you'll see what I mean hopefully ;)

Thanks!
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I can`t point you directly to the value, but as far as I know it`s a smali value in androidpolicy.jar, best guess in some of the GlobalActions$ smalis. That`s the main reason, why inverting this popup is such a pain for all modders.
[Android Themes] paul678:
Thank you so much! Hope I can solve it because that an white text in manage apps section is the only thing to do :)
[Android Themes] Habarug:
The one in the manage apps section is bright_foreground_dark in colors XML, I had to change it in my theme ;) But when you change this to black it will be black in popup headers as well, so you should replace it with a bright image :)

I learned it here thanks to ZDuneX25 for showing me :)

how can i change cm9 notification toggles indicator color?
[Android Themes] maped:
It seems impossible that all the xda forums and google around there is not a guide for change color to the clock / date / carrier on ics lockscreen.

I tried in every way to edit the file framework-res.apk from my ics 4.0.4 AOSP rom (rascream sandwich).

I'm just wondering if you someone tell me the exact directory of xml values ​​for color clock / date / network operator on lockscreen that I would change in the color blue holo ics instead of white.

I changed in res\values\colors.xml:

<color name="lockscreen_clock_background">#ff33b5e5</color>

<color name="lockscreen_clock_foreground">#ff33b5e5</color>

<color name="lockscreen_clock_am_pm">#ff33b5e5</color>

<color name="lockscreen_owner_info">#ff33b5e5</color>

but it caused my lockscreen to appear as the wrong dpi. Its too large and cut off and not in holo blue but same white

same error occurs when I try to allign screen text to center: in this case I've edit /res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and I've replace android:layout_marginRight=.......with android:layout_centerInParent="true"

nothing to do :(

For me is not a problem decompile jar or smali file...but where's the values for change color clock/date/carrier and center text in lockscreen???

How would I install these icons on my galaxy s2 with miui v4?
[Android Themes] cavihit:
i haven't looked at the icons so i don't know how they're named, but first you have to rename the icons to match their package names. for example, the browser icon would be named "com.android.browser.png." i believe you can find the package names by looking up the apps on the google playstore, and the name should be the id in the url. for example, the gmail play store link is \https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gm, and so the package name is "com.google.android.gm." that or you can just copy+paste them over pre-existing icons.

so then you zip up all the icons into a zip file, with compression mode set to "store" or "uncompressed", and rename the file "icons" with no extension. you can either replace the icons file in an existing theme or zip up the file with a description.xml (also "store"d or "uncompressed") and rename that with a .mtz extension and just install that from the file browser/theme manager.

so i guess i just don't know what i'm doing at all, because i can't get it to work. do i need to use something like UOT kitchen or zdune's patcher and first mod sonny's theme. and then apply this patch? i have tried just using UOT kitchen. i've also tried just using zdune's patcher. no dice. i'm running go launcher ex, and yes, i even used multipicture live wallpaper.
