Please help.

Yesterday i learned how to make go launcher ex theme. So my question is when i change icons of apps, the clearity of my icons are gone. They are a bit blury.
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Have you tried applying the patch, then push your original files and then apply the patch again? Seems to fix it for some :)
[Android Themes] Turtuga:
i'm tryed but this white color not change

Wrong position of App Icons..

I did made lot of changes in framework-res, systemui and settings and finally I found bad position of icons (not only this, of all app icons ) and now I can't able to solved this..

Anybody know where is mistake?

Wrong

Right

- running CM9 and I tryin' to reverted whole ROM to the MIUI..
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Not too sure, but I might be the ab bar thingy. The .9 patch might be wrong. What happens if you remove the .9 extension?
[Android Themes] mastershefis:
I did tried to change from the stock framework all 'ab' pngs but without succes..only what is changed is the color of the line under the icon..
[Android Themes] maped:
I've change in keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

<com.android.internal.widget.DigitalClock

<!-- Because we can't have multi-tone fonts, we render two TextViews, one on

Just adding some android:color="#HEXCODE" same result :(

Theres a tons of "recognized themer/developer/contributor"...nobody really knows how to change colors in the deodexed aosp ics 4.0.4 clock/date on lockscreen mode :o???
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Sorry, I didn't quite get what you said here. Did you try to remove .9 extension or push the stock ones into there? Did you mean to instead of from?

It's ok now..I compared all png's in theme and in stock rom and I did found 2 files with same size and different name and that was it .. :)

Hey people,

is it possible to remove the text "ON / OFF" from the settings slider?

Look here

View attachment 1090895

And is it possible to add this in a theme.apk for cm9 themechooser engine?

Regards SafiXS
[Android Themes] mastershefis:
You can find it in framework-res.apk /values/string.xml

<string name="capital_on">ON</string>

<string name="capital_off">OFF</string>
[Android Themes] Jumba:
Sorry to quote myself but I still haven't found the solution. I'd appreciate any assistance. I want to avoid someone else posting my theme before I've been able to, like has happened in the past. So I need to do this asap.

Thanks, J
[Android Themes] SafiXS:
thank you, but what i have to do to instert it in the theme.apk? i've tried to mod the strings.xml with this line "<string name="capital_on"> </string>" but no success. btw. for any language i wil remove the text.

i think there is a line in style.xml right? :confused:

Please someone help an old man by learn theming :cool:

Regards SafiXS
[Android Themes] Habarug:
I guess there is a layout xml for this, but you cannot change it with the theme chooser. So unfortunately I think you'll have to add it for the strings for every cm language, which sucks. Haven't looked it, though, maybe if ur lucky it is a style for it
[Android Themes] he_stheone64:
I was never interested in that one since ICS, but why don`t you just use a technique I always use, when I need to identify new text or bg colors?

Define appr. 10 different RGB colors, can be pink, green, blue, whatever. Then change all text color values, where you believe these might be possible solutions with the different "rainbow" colors and flash. That way you will quickly find the values and might also find new one`s, that will help you for other projects.
[Android Themes] maped:
Thanks bro ;)

The strange thing is that other users have the same problem when changing the hex values (we have an abnormal lockscreen resized :( )...I think in the github of codename android is the solution of the problem but I can not find the piece of code in question.

@soudy1994

If you want to change the statusbar background to a plain color, change the line in values/drawables which is named status_bar_background to the hex code you want. If you want to use a png, delete that line and place your png in drawable/xdpi

Not really sure about the indicators, but it might be the scrubber_primary_holo pngs in drawable/xdpi folder
[Android Themes] pieru:
Hello everybody :)

I got a little problem while trying to change an app icon in MIUI.

The app in question is exDialer which, as any other dialer app, has got a dialer icon and a contacts icon.

Using the built-in MIUI theme manager and adding the icon I want to the .mtz file I wanna use, I'm able to change the the dialer icon, but not the contact's one.

I tried already to decompile the apk and modify the res files, but in this way the MIUI launcher underlays the default icon background to the icon I want, which is kinda ugly.

Has anyone a solution?

I hope the question is clear :D
[Android Themes] soudy1994:
am pretty sure the indicator pngs are stat_bgoff.9.png and stat_bgon.9.png but when i change them nothing happens

about the status bar i want it to be stock ics status bar which xml file it shud be in?

also how can i edit power menu and volume bar color?

thanks a lot
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Are you theming it directly or via theme engine? If it is theme engine you have to add redirections to android.xml. Those seems to be the right.

You want it to be stock, plain black? Isn't plain black, the line i describes is ff0000000, so it should be black.

Power menu is a bunch of smali code and sucks ass, you better just leave it as it is, it's just hell for themers. Volume should be drawable/progress_horizontal. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1475217

Sry for short and litttle details, but I'm going to football practice now.

Edit: No answer?
[Android Themes] shaggyskunk:
I don't know if what I'm trying to accomplish is, a) possible, b) difficult?

I've messed around with Desktop Visualizer and Elixir 2 but I still can't get what I want?

Is it even possible to change/make a widget's appearance using only the phone, or do you have to do this on your pc?

I've included a screen shot of the Kaiten email widget on the left & the one that I'd like to use on the right... Any help or advice would be great!

Thanks

Power Menu is in android.policy.jar - your target are GlobalActions.smali and the extra GlobalActions$x.smali, that were added for the additional entries (number varies from ROM to ROM and by APM design).

In theory in VERY simple cases you could just use your phone, but why do you really want to do that? If you only want to change a widget png, you could rename the .apk to .zip, then extract the zip. then you choose your desired png and rename it accordingly and resize it with a mobile app, then you copy it in the correct folder and overwrite it, rezip and rename to.apk and push the file in app folder. Usually you should zipalign the apk before you push, but even that is possible...

Anyway this is VERY clunky and only possible in such a simple case :D
[Android Themes] shaggyskunk:
Yes, I only want to change the widget png.... I was hoping that there was some kind of "never themed before, change widget png for dummies) app, that would be well beyond simple. I'm not really sure if I have the experience to try it? I just know that I can't stand kaiten's Red/Ugly notification widget! :(

Sorry, can't help you with the powermenu thingy, maybe hestheone can help you on that one. Are you really sure there aren't an option to change indicator color in CM-settings? Because they seems to be the right and to me it seems like the cm settings are overriding them...

Question for the MIUI themers (are there any around?)...

I'm converting my GB theme to MIUI v4 and am having an issue with the statusbar icons. The ones on the right display fine (38x38 pix) but the ones on the left are scaled down to 27x27 pix. I have tried everything but haven't managed to figure it out.

I have changed the following settings in the theme values xml files (in comments are the original values... but changing them seems to make no difference):

framework-res:

<dimen name="status_bar_icon_size">32.0dip</dimen> <!-- 24 -->

framework-miui-res:

<dimen name="android_status_bar_icon_size">32.0dip</dimen> <!-- @android:dimen/status_bar_icon_size -->

system-ui:

<dimen name="status_bar_icon_size">32.0dip</dimen> <!-- 24 -->
<dimen name="status_bar_icon_drawing_size">32.0dip</dimen> <!-- 18 -->

Those are all the references to status_bar_icon I can find but no dice.

Any tips please?

I want to theme change the settings icon in the lower right corner, but I do not want to change the settings png that is found in the framework (ic_menu_moreoverflow). This results changing it for many apps. And I want to keep this clean.

So, I want to drop in a new png and edit the xml to use this. I tried changing ic_menu_preferences to a new local image but it will not compile.

Any thoughts? There are tons of themes gmail packages, someone must be able to help :)

Hi guys,

I tried to change the background of Settings.apk to white color and change the primary font in it to dark grey , secondary to grey and disabled to light grey. And make it to have a MIUI setting feel. Cause the stock theme is too ugly :(

I tried this tut.

And this is what I get after I changed the colour from original to this:

<color name="bright_foreground_dark">#ff242424</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_dark_disabled">#80242424</color>
<color name="bright_foreground_dark_inverse">#ff616161</color>

This is what I want:

And these are the faulty ones, I don't know how to change them into white colour, cause they cant be seen in grey :(

Anyone have idea how to change these?

You have to change the line that says something like "notifications_row" in the res/values/drawables.xml... Change it to whatever color you want... I tried adding an image to that line but it didn't work... I didn't have time to figure out what went wrong so i just left it with a solid color for now...

Hope that helps!!
[Android Themes] Habarug:
@Imbawind

Changing color to white requires lots of files to be changed. You can see in my cm7 theme. I changed the styles mostly, and some colors. I had to change the backgrounds of the popups to white as well. Even though I got most of the system to look right, some third party apps will still log like crap. There isn't much to do to avoid this though.

I took a look in my ICS systemui, but I guess it's the same in GB. I haven't tried this, but it should work ;)

SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="[B][COLOR="Red"]@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon[/COLOR][/B]" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Change the marked area to @style/StatusBarClock (or whatever you want really :P ) Or if it already redirects to style within the apk (if it's only @ instead @android: ) go the styles.xml and add the line below to the already excisting style.

In SystemUI/res/values/styles.xml add this.

<style name="StatusBarClock" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">[B][COLOR="red"]16.0dip[/COLOR][/B]</item>
</style>

Change the marked area to a higher number to increase font size :)

To add an image instead, delete the line drawables.xml and add a PNG with the same name as that line to drawable xdpi :)

Download the android SDK and extract it. Now plug your phone into the comp. Go to tools/ddms.bat. This should eventually open a new window . Double click your device (you'll see it starts logging or something ) and press ctrl + s to take screenshots. Remember to hit save afterward ;)

Semi-Transparency Lag - TC-Theme

Hi, I posted this question in the Desire S section but it seemed to prove to difficult to answer and I'm at a loss:confused:

I'm experiencing lag when scrolling windows in my favourite cm7 Theme chooser theme Crystal by DaRk_dOg, due to (I believe) semi-transparency in windows such as in settings/applications/ROOT EXPLORER etc.. that I DON'T get with other themes. Semi-transparency in notification window is FINE and scrolling home screens etc, anywhere no scrolling is required. Could anyone tell me which .xml controls this transparency in other windows, even affecting RootEx app, I'd like to return windows in general back to to fully opaque So i can enjoy this lovely theme without the crippling lag.

I'd greatly appreciate any help if anyone has the time,
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
from personal experience, it could very well be a number of things...

file size and resolution size of images

zipaligned or not

extra unused images

etc

it's not necessarily the transparency of the images you're talking about... any one of these things will make the phone work harder to show correctly on the device and any of these things can slow the device down a bit... if you are not the theme developer, ask them if they did these things to ensure a theme that doesn't hinder performance!!

Where i can find this Icons on the Left side for Simi Folder ? :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] m4570d0n:
I apologize if this has been answered, but I've been searching for a long time on here, rootzwiki, google, etc. and can't find an answer.

I have two questions. First, I was wondering how I might be able to use a particular png for my status bar on CM9/AOKP. This is the status bar I would like to use:

I've seen several similar questions/answers but they were not specific to cm9/aokp so the solution did not immediately make sense to me it reference image names in SystemUI that are not there in my SystemUI or references to lines in an xml file that were different from my xml files.

Second. I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to make the people app in CM9/AOKP transparent. I have successfully done it with the Mms.apk and the dialer/contacts list in Conatcts.apk but I'm at a loss when it comes to the "People" app (which is also Contacts.apk).

Also, I have not attempted yet to jump into Theme Chooser theming. I was looking to do this by modding the apks. I guess after I feel more comfortable with that, then I'll move on to the Theme Chooser action.

Thank you very much in advance.

Also, for the transparent Mms.apk, if anyone is interested, I adapted it from MrDSL. He actually just posted a guide for it in his CM9/AOKP Mixer Theme thread.
