systemui.apk

framework-res.apk

launcher.apk

phone.apk

contacts.apk

settings.apk

is it possible to do this

Using APK_manager

decompile previusly themed SystemUI.apk

copy some .png images that i like

decompile my own SystemUI.apk from my rom

paste images into my SystemUI.apk, compile it, sign and push it

___________________________________________________

im askin this because i tryed it and i got error

in log.txt it says that all the images are not defined

________________________

i read in apkmanager tip that Decompiling a themed apk is not possible, you must get the original unthemed apk, then decompile, make your theme/xml changes and recompile

___________

is that why am i gettin this error?

cus it was possible to decompile it, it was not possible to compile it back...
[Android Themes] ciscogee:
If its simple pngs you could also use 7zip to open your the apk and drag unzipped apks pngs into.

Also don't sign it maybe?
[Android Themes] AndroidStyle:
it dosent let me compile it back, even if i edit em with my own .pngs , i only get this problem with SystemUI.apk

sometimes aapt.exe crashes...
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
Do you have your framework setup correctly? Also try changing the memory usage for apk manager to see if it helps...
[Android Themes] AndroidStyle:
I installed framework-res.apk and com.htc.recources.apk and changed memory usage too

i have edited Rosie.apk compiled, signed and pushed it without problems...

i dont know why SystemUI.apk dosent wanna be friendly.

Themed Apps

I was just wondering why every time I apply a theme on CM7, none of the apps that the theme had promised to change ever get changed. I know that it is not the developers fault because it is not just limited to one theme, but it really sucks not having the full effect of the theme on my phone. Is it because I am running CM7 7.03 and not 7.1? Any help with this would be much appreciated. If it helps I am running CM7.03 on my HTC EVO 4G, with the stock kernal, etc.

Random question.p. Im using go launcher ex. I downloaded the Diamond theme cuz they have really cool looking icon folders. Problem is I cant use those icons as folders. Is there a way i can get those icons in my gallery so Ill be able to replace the folders icon to a themed icon. I
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
I'm taking a guess on this but if you open up the theme apk, you should be able to save the icons/images you want then just add them to your gallery...

Apk files can beer opened with any unzipping program.
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
What`s in your error log? Fairly often it´s an issue with not correctly compiled .9.png`s, if you use a themed apk as a base.
[Android Themes] AndroidStyle:
It's all good now, I found fix, it was telling me that an image in /res/drawable was not defined, I just deleted it and all good, LOL...
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
Next time that happens, just open up the image with editing software and just redefine the 1x1 black pixels (make sure they are solid black)...

[Android Themes] Huncriter:
how can i add custom app icon after decompile a theme, i have to edit some xml file?
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
open these folders after you decompile and locate the icon and just replace it...

drawable-hdpi

mipmap-hdpi

mipmap-mdpi

mipmap-xhdpi

keep in mind that your apk might not have these folders but those are the places that icons would be in!! hope that helps!
[Android Themes] Huncriter:
i don't want to replace an icon, i want to add a new one, i. e. ninja fruits.

some themes has custom icons for some apps an other doesn't. what's the difference? as i said i think i have to edit some xml file
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
For a good answer you need to be more specific (which app, which icon or png for what reason...). If you want to add resources, you need to do that after decompiling the apk and make sure there is a proper reference either in a layout or drawable xml (depends on what you plan and the apk), during compile the new ID in public.xml will be generated automatically.
[Android Themes] adizz4:
I did the icon switch and I now have a "+" on the status bar. How do I remove that?

It goes away if there are some notifications but there's will be a small gap.
[Android Themes] ciscogee:
Unzip apk.

Find the icon.

Open apk with 7zip and delete it.

Or edit it transparent etc.

this way u don't have to use apktool

how to learn item drawable positions

can someone give me a link to learn item position images of /res/xml/android.xml.

how to do so that we can know where the drawable position located? I'm confused what the name of some images that I would change.

example: the position of the image and name in the /res/xml/android.xml
[Android Themes] TUN_SD:
android.xml is in theme apk´s you decompile. there are all the images and colors named, which used by the apk. the images are in the other xml defiened. like com_android_calendar.xml, or com_android_phone.xml. the images you find in the folder res/drawable_hdpi, mdpi, whatever_dpi!

there you can mod the png, but take care of 9.png.(use google, it knows a lot about this)

Out of a ROM I just want the status bar pulldown, boot logo (not the animation), USB screen, lock sliders and the caller icon.

How do i go about getting just those out of the zip?

Im using ADW EX, with RedRemix as my theme, I want to keep everything about it the same and just have those 5 things added in.

So is this possible? I already flashed the zip, nothing changed but the notification sounds mentioned with the star wars theme are there. So maybe ADW is covering the rest of the theme up?

I would need some assistance of identifying certain pngs on themes:

In my theme when in contacts i press this field marked as 1! it gets selected/highlighted as my choosed color. So does field marked as 2. when i press it. Problem is only cosmetic but really annoying.

I would want to; when i press this field marked as 1! that ALL THE FIELD marked as 3! to get selected as my color. not only 1! or not only 2. . As ive seen this happen on other themes and it looks so much better that way, cuz ive turned this [com_android_contacts_divider_vertical_dark.9] that separates these two fields, transparent and now it looks stupid when pressing this field 1! or 2. .

Hope you know what i mean, its a little bit hard to explain :D

HUGE question about changing the color of the clock, date, and carrier in ICS android. i have been able to changed almost everything else, except this. I decompile systemui.apk with apktool, the latest one from the sdk. i go into res/values/styles.xml and change these lines:

"

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">

<item name="android:textSize">16dip</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/holo_blue_light</item>

</style>"

"<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">

<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/holo_blue_light</item>

</style>

"

changing the stock holo blue light to my desired hex code, #FFF8C90A

then recompile apk, no errors. take that apk and use 7zip to open it and place the original signing keys back in. push with adb and fix permissions to 0644. reboot, and nothing force closes, but i don't have a status bar or a wallpaper. can't figure out what im doin wrong, am changing it according to the searches i have performed. i know there has to be a way, anyone?

I'm trying to modify styles.xml inside framework-res.apk\res\values\styles.xml but I get no success. I'm going to explain how I do it, and I hope you can help me.

- I pull framework-res.apk and place it in proper folder

- I run apkmanager and press 10 (because it's a samsung's framework and add "twframework-res.apk" to it)

- I edit values in desired xml file

-I press 11 to compile, and normally I get errors (I don't get them if I don't change anything).

- I press yes when asking if system app

- I agree to copy "unmodified" files

- Anyway I go to keep folder, but I can't delete anything 'cause vales folder doesn't appear anymore. I've seen I should delete resources.arsc , but I don't know what to do after this.

Can you guys help me with this, I've searched everywhere but I never found a proper explanation.

[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
For clock and carrier it`s definitely this line in styles.xml of systemui

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock"

For date it`s:

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Date"

So you need to check your changes, whether there is a small error in your code. Did you perform a diff between your new systemui and stock version to ensure, there is nothing wrong?

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

You need to delete resources.arsc in KEEP folder, all values folders are packed in resources.arsc. So whenever you change anything inside values folders, that effects resources.arsc
