In theme chooser, I have modded framework res xml I want to include in my theme.

So I put "frameworks_res_list_selector" (or whatever) in the /drawables folder.

What else do I need to do in order to get this to work?

An entry in Android.xml?

Don't worry - fixed it :)

It will either be in the Home.apk, framework-res.apk or SemcGenericUxpRes.apk. I've never modded the stock launcher so can't point it out.

Hi Guys,

Does any of you guys, or gal's for that matter, have any idea which ROM or Theme are these pic's from. It has to be a ROM if I remember correctly, but can't remember which one?!!

OK, the truth!!! This ROM looks so nice that I must have it on my phone soon or I'll die a horrible death!! (probably by fire, or heart attack or maybe not)

[Android Themes] fergie716:
Hello gang.. I am having trouble compiling SystemUI.apk after adding different statusbar found here

I am using Stock 2.3.7 ROM for the NS4G. I replaced status_bar_background.9.png and statusbar_background.9.png from the stock SystemUI with the correct files I downloaded. I never really tried to mess around with draw9patch from the SDK but I do have it, just not sure how to apply it here to fix my problem

I uploaded my error log from apktool. SystemUI decompiled correctly, just cannot get this statusbar to work

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Android Themes] thoughtlesskyle:
Its because those aren't patched right for the status bar if you use 7 zip you can drop it in and it will work but it wont compile right since it's an unpatched PNG

If you give me the 2 files I feel like I could make it into a .9 png (atleast use the traces from the original to the one you want but I don't know how to patch from scratch
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
You can patch from Scratch either with Photoshop, but better with draw9patch (in SDK/tools). In any case no need to patch this specific png, just add it after compile and you`re fine.
[Android Themes] fergie716:
Thank you to both you! I'll just use 7-zip

Thanks again!

hi guys, i install cm7 on my htc incredible s and i find really good theme for my theme chooser but in all of downloaded theme DIAL SCREEN(not dial pad) its really ugly!!! how can i change it??? thanksssss
[Android Themes] thoughtlesskyle:
Without some crazy reverse engineering, there is nothing too simple, a draw back of the Theme Chooser
[Android Themes] mhmb87:
Thank u for your answer, its meen there is no way to change it??? I have already install zipthemer... any morph or something else make change the dialer?
[Android Themes] thoughtlesskyle:
Not easily here is why,

What happens with the theme Chooser is that it basically redirects where the system looks for an image kind of like a proxy. So using another method such as zips or metamorph are only going to change the original images not the proxy ones. So no not easy way to do it

Trouble adding pngs to theme

I'm having a problem with the theme I"m building for CM7 roms. Everything had been going great, but now anytime I try to add a png to res/hdpi/ and create an xml file (for instance: com_android_kineto) to use that png, and then add the appropriate entry in redirections.xml, it compiles fine with apkmanager, but when I install it on my phone, it crashed my statusbar and it won't come back. I have been deleting the public.xml prior to recompiling because it rebuilds it during the process (and that way I don't get index size errors on compile if I manually edit it).

I just don't know where to look anymore...any ideas?

edit: btw, the redirect actually works fine because I can see the launcher icon for kineto changed everywhere it appears...but it kills my statusbar.
[Android Themes] mmapcpro:
I believe I found the problem.

I went through every xml line by line, and compared with image files and I discovered that somehow, my stat_sys_battery_charge.xml got changed (corrupted)...every value for the battery meter and charge animation was either an inappropriate number, or pointing towards some other random drawable. So I had to change those 200 values.

Not sure how this happens.
[Android Themes] :
Moment of ultimate noobyness:

My notification backgrounds have disappeared - and I want to rebuild them from scratch.

I have the .9.png's - but what xml entries do I need to make other than the drawable ones in com_android_systemui.xml? (by that I mean these:

<item name="drawable/status_bar_item_app_background_normal">@drawable/colourblack</item>
<item name="drawable/status_bar_item_background_pressed">@drawable/colourprimary</item>
<item name="drawable/status_bar_item_background_normal">@drawable/colourblack</item>
<item name="drawable/status_bar_item_background_focus">@drawable/colourprimarydark</item>

)

I AM SO STUPID. Its framework not systemui..
[Android Themes] mmapcpro:
If I"m understanding you correctly, those are actually in framework.

So,

frameworks_res_status_bar_item_app_background_normal.9.png

frameworks_res_status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png

frameworks_res_status_bar_item_background_focus.9.png

frameworks_res_status_bar_item_background_pressed.9.png

should be what you're looking for.
[Android Themes] :
Yeah, don't worry I fixed it :P - Thanks :D

Another question though...

Is it possible to change an applications XML file within theme chooser.

For example if say in facebook.apk I had res/values/colors.xml, would it be possible to include a modded version within my theme apk and "push it over the top" or whatever?

Probably not, but thanks in advance everyone :P

That is actually in styles.xml in framework-res/res/values/. The exact line in styles, I'm not sure of but I'll do some digging and let you know, it's definitely not in smali so don't worry about that.
[Android Themes] etoy:
wow,that's good news! so now we "only" have to find what's the line for the text and the background and then invert them! hope it will work with all the white popups (widget/wallpaper chooser,etc..)

thanks in the meanwhile..
[Android Themes] M!ss:
That's really good to get experience from here :)
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I trust you are talking about AOSP, not Sense ROM`s. A lot of the popup text colors are defined in Theme.Dialog in styles.xml, so you only need to invert most of that stuff, actual backgrounds are the popup pngs in framework-res.apk. When that is done, there is more to be done (like Widget.TextView.PopupMenu), but I haven´t themed AOSP since ages (I`m on Sense). So enjoy the ride :D
[Android Themes] etoy:
it's cm7, no Sense for nS! i suspect many sleepless nights between me and success on that popups lol :)
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
The actual background is in framework res.apk its just the styles line you need I'll try to get it today for you been sorta busy
[Android Themes] etoy:
yes,the backgrounds are easy.. they're the popup_bottom/center/etc.png in framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi.

the harder part is the text. i have to pick the right ones to be inverted from black to white without messing up the rest.
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Ok, here ya go. You will have to play with a few lines to see what does it. You can either change textColorSecondary in colors.xml but that might have ill effects in other area's of the phone or you can target one of these two lines in styles.xml

Widget.TextView.ListSeparator

Widget.TextView.ListSeparator.White

Can someone PLEASE tell me why wallpapers will not work properly on my droid?

For the love, soon to be hate of Android.. I am going to find out if this device blends very soon.. please help. Its driving me insane!

I have the new Acho C902, which claims resolution of 800x480. I have tried wallpapers of every size shape and colour, I have tried quickpic and the normal wallpaper program, I have tried EVERYTHING, I have searched high and low and nothing..

Every wallpaper I set, regardless of size and aspect ratio, screws up. The system zooms in and butchers it, I care not for live wallpaper, I just want a damn picture on my desktop!! That is all I want. I am running Froyo 2.2.1, not rooted (yet).

Please, if someone can help, please do. And yes, I have searched this site extensively. :mad::mad::mad:
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Then resize your wallpaper to 800x400 on your PC then set it
[Android Themes] AimiFox:
I have done that.

Including various sizes at 2:1, 1:1.33333 and other ratios.

Android still zooms in to the top part of the pic, irrespective of the size of the desktop. As though it believes its res is larger than it is. (It did it pre-flash as well)

(It is not rooted so I can not check the X server file, I have not found any method to root this model)
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
These styles are for header text in dark and bright list views, nothing to do with popups. Changing general text colors is not recommended unless you decide to go for a full inverted Theme like Xeudoxus old Dark Edge for Droid.

[Android Themes] etoy:
i tried to randomly invert dark <---> light in those lines of \res\values\styles.xml

<item name="textAppearanceInverse">@style/TextAppearance.Inverse</item>
<item name="textColorPrimary">@color/primary_text_dark</item>

<item name="textColorPrimaryInverseNoDisable">@color/primary_text_light_nodisable</item>
<item name="textColorSecondaryInverseNoDisable">@color/secondary_text_light_nodisable</item>

and some of them worked,some other not.

i think i'll have to try one at time and see what they do exactly.

[Android Themes] nihilistza:
Hi everyone, new here, but have been lurking for a while.

I've searched a bit but can't quite find anything specific for what I want to know.

I want to change the text entry colours. Not the keyboard skin but the black on white entry field text area, I'd like to make it white on black to match the keyboard.

I'd also love to get a white on black version of Gmail / most other 'stock' parts of the phone.

The reason for this is that I struggle with my vision, and find white on black far easier to use.

are there any projects/skins/tweaks for this sort of thing? I've tried many themes but none that I know of address those specific points.
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
The problem is the apps pull from the theme of the os meaning yes you can change text entry background to black within the framework Res drawable-hdpi folder and the text color itself from within styles.xml but if an app changes the background or text color U might run into issues there. Overall tho I think you would be fine making these edits.

Change this line under TextAppearance in styles.xml of framework-res.apk to whatever RBG value you need

<item name="textColorHighlight">#ff7fb118</item>

Personally I always also adjust

<item name="textColorLink">#ff5c5cff</item>

for TextAppearance and textAppearanceInverse

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

You need to edit

<style name="Widget.EditText" parent="@style/Widget">

<item name="textAppearance">?textAppearanceMediumInverse</item>

<item name="textColor">@color/primary_text_light</item>

and certainly the corresponding editbox png`s in hdpi folder.
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Different resolution phones the gs2 is an hdpi phone.
[Android Themes] Gunthermic:
Android being for multiple phones has those folders inthere for different phones.

HDPI = High Density

MDPI = Medium Density

LDPI = Low Density

So whatever your phone is then you would be editing those png's in that folder.

And you could see

NODPI as well. Which is for any phone..
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Just note there are quite a few apps that stick icons in the mdpi instead of the hdpi on a high res phone.If you change a launcher icon and it doesn't work check in the mdpi.

What's the closest I can get to this? It's a Froyo 2.2 theme. I am now on CM7 2.3.3GB.
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
That is very easy, you only need to push pngs from the Froyo Theme framework-res.apk and a Galaxy S systemui.apk (since Froyo Theme will not have systemui.apk) to your CM7 apk`s and you`re all set. You can start to do that with Theme Porter from daneshm to avoid pushing stuff, that does not belong to CM7 and then finetune by hand.

[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
A full theme would be way more complicated, since it requires in some cases a lot of xml and smali coding, but what you want is very easy to achieve. Just put new framework-res and systemui in "new/framework" and new/app" folders of Theme Porter and old froyo framework in "old/framework" plus Galaxy S systemui in "old/app" folder.

Then just hit script.bat and the insert both apk`s in an existing Theme update.zip for your ROM (first delete all existing apk`s and jars in this update.zip) and flash.
