i don't know if it can be done on a theme chooser apk (that's why i personally still prefer a flashable theme with edited apks)

btw the string you need is in framework-res.apk\res\layout\status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

that's mine (underline text is white, bold text is green color)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingLeft="5.0dip" android:paddingTop="7.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

Is there a ICS theme out there now that the SDK is out?

I'm running CM7 on INC2 just to clarify, thanks
[Android Themes] eniamg02:
im sure this has been answered but search is down atm.

can anyone tell me what files i need to change to change color of clock in status bar?

running a gingerbread 2.3.5 aosp rom
[Android Themes] mmapcpro:
I'm not sure if this is the case for all phones, but on my phone, I had to add a method to the Clock.smali file in SystemUI.apk

I embedded this code within the UpdateColor() method. If you scour through that smali, you should be able to find a similar method, although it might not be named similarly. GOtta kinda see what the methods are doing, and figure out where to stick the code. It's definitely easier if you can see the source in Java so you can get a better view of what's going on in the smali, but it IS possible, as I have changed the color of my clock on every rom I'm on.

The code I put there changes it to red...but you can put in any 8 digit hexcode you like. The first 2 letters, ff are for the opacity (full in this case) and the remaining 6 characters are for the color code rrggbb.

If you're lucky, you can get a developer to do the hard coding for you, and create a menu interface that you change color from the settings of the phone easier than baksmali and smali all the time.

If this is something you want to dig into, let me know here, or pm me. I'd love to help.
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
In Gingerbread there is no need for smali edits.

SystemUI.apk

/res/layout/status_bar.xml

Search for "<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock

Just add android:textColor="#ff88cc11" to that code (would be green) or whatever RGB values you need.

This works in the same way in this xml with date and notification ticker.
[Android Themes] xx_bluedev_xx:
Looking for a little help. So I used the templatebread.apk (if you aren't aware which I am sure you are, this is a template created to base cm7 theme chooser themes off of) as a base for a theme I am building. I having been playing with it on and off decompiling, recompiling, installing and such. So far so good. So I started off with a fresh copy, put it into the UOT theme kitchen to get the easy stuff out of the way. I applied a battery mod as well as some other simple color mods that the kitchen seems to make so much easier. I then downloaded the resulting file, flashed, all was good it worked. So then I unzipped the UOT file. decompiled the app, made a couple icon changes and such, went to recompile and it is telling me that it can't find the resources for the battery mod files from like 63%-100%. The theme worked just fine before decompiling, the files are still in the same place they were before, AND it doesn't throw an error for 0-62%. Any help solving this mystery would be great!
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
You don't need to decompile and recompile to edit a few images only if your editing xmls do I would just open the zip extract the drawable-hdpi change the icons and then over write the drawable in the zip and flash
[Android Themes] xx_bluedev_xx:
I will be editing xmls as well, in this particular instance I was just seeing how everything worked. Just to make sure I COULD decompile edit, recompile a theme that came out of uot using the templatebread.apk. So I still need to figure out whats wrong :(. Also I am editing MDPI in this particular instance, not that I think it makes a difference.
[Android Themes] thrutheeyes:
What is the name of the font that you see on a lot of themes? Gives the clean tidy look, the text is thing and a bit sci fi?

Cheers
[Android Themes] dreamsforgotten:
I'm that case xml edit before you do the kitchen for better results
[Android Themes] xx_bluedev_xx:
That certainly seems to be easier, except for the fact that uot automatically makes changes to some xml files, like the manifest and adds uot into the name and such. Also there are some changes I would like to make in uot because I don't know how to make them otherwise but those changes come along with other changes that I don't want lol. Sounds dumb when you read it, but it all makes sense in my mind. So now I am getting this sorry don't know how to do the scrolling text box thing /Users/bradleyjones/UOTrelentlessx_tp_beta1/res/xml/framework-res.apk:1: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

Alright so this is speculative, but it works this way for the most part. If right now you are stock, with the stock theme, then if you install a custom rom that is unthemed, it shouldn't change anything visually.

[Android Themes] xx_bluedev_xx:
This is where you need to do your own research, don't just come into the forums and ask because you aren't willing to go look through the roms for YOUR phone just like anyone would have to do for you. Go to your phones forum under android development, and look through the roms. most of them say what has been done to them in the thread. Your first question was legitimate your second was just lazy.

Hi guys, I am to new to themes.

If after setting up a theme, I want to apply a new theme. Is it possible to switch back to previous in a simple way or I have to redo all those steps again ?
[Android Themes] xx_bluedev_xx:
This all depends on what kind of rom you are on. If you are on a cm7 ROM or other rom that includes the theme chooser app, then you can switch back and forth using the application. If not then you would have to flash the theme every time you want to switch, not really that difficult as you just need to boot into cwm, flash the zip clear your caches and your done.

Hey guys, I'm need a bit of help...

The "Miui" battery bar has been addded to Cm7 (in some self builds...and there is a patch to diy it too)

It works great using the system theme, and every theme chooser theme. Except my theme chooser theme! It disappears O.o

Does anyone have an ideas? I thought it was something to do with the statusbar 9.pngs, so I deleted some of them but its still not working. Maybe I didn't get the right ones.

Could it be my progress xml files messing it up?

[Q] Adding icons to existing Icon Packs...?

If I wanted to add some of my own icons to an existing Icon Theme, how would I go about doing that?

I'm assuming I'd have to use APK Manager to open the package and add the image files but where do I find the exact name of the app/icon I want to add? For example, the package I'm using doesn't include an Astro File Manager icon. I have an icon for it but just placing the icon in the image folder and naming it Astro won't work. I have to have it's proper name. The Netflix icon is named com_anddev_netflix_netflix.png. Where do I find the exact name needed for the app/icon?

After I finish adding all the properly named icons I planned on using APK Manager to recompile my file. I should then be able to just install it like any other apk file.

Is that the proper way to do what I want to do? Once I get the file names corrected?

Most custom fonts don`t support all signs necessary on a mobile phone, so you need to test, which work for you. In your specific case there is no fix, unless you are a font designer and add the missing parts.

I want to start theming, but I have some questions before starting: :)

I want to make themes for CM7 (HDPI, 800x480px), they should be usable in combination with the integrated theme chooser.

So:

How to start?

I found this template. Can I use a unmodified version of the required file(s) too (is it only framework-res.apk?)?

What exactly is this T-Mobile Theme Engine?

After decompiling the template.apk I'd like to import it into eclipse. Is this possible?

And after changing some values: do I have to flash it directly onto my Galaxy S for testing or is there any possibility to use a emulator?

About me: I have some Java skills, very little C-skills and I have Ubuntu and Win7 x64 on my notebook, Android SDK + Eclipse is already installed.

Been cracking open some MIUI and CM7 themes, and I see that they're all using stat_sys_battery.png and stat_sys_battery_charge.png to define the appearance - most are obviously UOT battery offerings, but some are not. Is there a way to upload a custom battery to the kitchen? If not, is there some other sort of way to generate these images from a custom battery I'm designing? Or possibly a way to save individual battery style images instead of the groups as saved above? Hope I'm making sense :)
