[Android Themes] m4570d0n:
Thanks. I assume I would have to make this a .9.png yes? Would this work?

If I delete that line in drawables.xml, would I not need to have the image referenced somewhere else, either in that xml or in another xml like styles.xml, or does the reference:

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"

in /layout/status_bar.xml take care of it?

edit: Well, it sort of worked. At first I didn't see it, but I went to ROM control and removed the status bar transparency and showed up. However, I'm now getting two odd issues. The area where the curve is on the status bar has some type of shadow/shading. I'm not sure where that is coming from. Additionally, anything that is displayed on the status bar seems to stay there even after it has been removed. For example, when the minute changed on the clock, it looks as if the current minute is displayed on top of the previous minute. I took a screenshot, then cleared my notification area, but the screenshot icon was still somewhat visible.

A blue ICS like statusbar for MIUI 2.6.15

I'm looking for a blue ICS like statusbar for MIUI...I've tried searching in forum but I could not find any. A help would be really appreciated...Thank you...
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
That looks pretty good!

I could never figure out the issue with the residual shadow from messing with transparency of the statusbar... If you get that one figured out, please lmk too :D
[Android Themes] *se-nsei.:
In ICS do the signal and wifi icons in statusbar overlap? Because I'm making a theme where my wifi icon when wifi is activated the signal icon weirdly jumps up because of no space for wifi. :S
[Android Themes] the1dynasty:
could be the size of the images... i had this happen to me too once... turned out the images were too big and it caused a layout issue for the statusbar

Oh right yeah, my wifi icons maybe too large.

If I want to theme an app can I replace the drawables without doing anything else or is it a lot more complicated?

I want to edit the Google Search Widget/App to look like this:
[Android Themes] Habarug:
It is really simple. Just open the apk with 7Zip or something and replace/edit the drawables you want :) You will break the signatures, though. There are two fixes for this: 1. push it to system/app, and it will work ;)

2. Sign it using a tool like this and you can install it like a normal apk ;)

I'm new to theming but i'm learning really quick. I'm attempting to fully theme the Facebook.apk. I themed almost everything BESIDES the blue bars at the top, such as where your notification numbers, message numbers and friend requests show up. I can't find that anywhere after decompiling the apk. Does anyone know where I can find it at? If you want to look, here is my already-edited Facebook. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdyp9k2cydxppso/Facebook_1.9.6.apk

(I understand a lot of the images weren't edited correctly for .9 png's, I'm just trying to find the parts that are themed first.)
[Android Themes] asdfzz:

[Android Themes] Why So Serious?:
Thanks for the information, really useful :) can this be done without root? I can access the drawables via Astro and was going to push them back into system/app using that too I assume?
[Android Themes] Habarug:
You can't push to system/app without root, so you'll have to transfer the apk to your comp to sign it and then install it :)

If you trace the color set from those styles you'll find it's one used across the system...so to avoid any issues I would create a new color for them and reference that instead (e.g. my_transparent)

If changing the color to transparent doesn't work I wouldn't delete/edit the actual strings but you could try removing the text lines in the styles...this may have an effect on the images though iirc, sorry I can't post more detailed info but if you need it lmk.

xdaAutoTool Problem

I'm using a Samsung Admire from MetroPCS. It currently runs a custom ROM based on Android 2.3.6.

Using Root Explorer I pulled the file "3DGallery.apk" from the \System\App folder. Using xdaAutoTool I was able to successfully decompile it as far as I can tell. Having edited the graphics in \xdaAutoTool\Res\Gallery3D\res\Drawable, I am now trying to rebuild it, and I get this entire string of text which means absolutely nothing to me. Can anybody point me into the right direction of why it's not working? The same files are also in \xdaAutoTool\_CUSTOM_RES\Gallery3D\res.

how do I properly make changes to xml files?

when adding new pngs to my drawable folder, i add the appropriate <item name="">@drawable</item> etc to android.xml but the changes aren't made the the theme....

however, when i used a program that compiles the xml file for me, it works. (but it includes every single png in the folder, when i don't need them all in android.xml)

i can't see any difference in what i've been trying to do, and what the program's doing for me :/

also, does anyone know the image name for the menu background (the 'pop-up' menus on bottom you get when you click the menu button on phone)? i'd like to make it a transparent colour..

thanks! :o

I believe what you are referring to are these:

is it possible to theme the lockscreen? the lockscreen images I changed are seen when i go to settings>security, but stay as the stock image when i unlock from the lock screen :/

if not, will it become a feature in the future?

[Android Themes] anthonycr:
The lock screen cannot be themed. I believe it has to do with the security of the phone and not letting other apps change it.

[Android Themes] netwokz:
I'm changing some colors in the stock Mms.apk and I can't seem to find the color for these lines below anywhere, the latter changes color(grey>blue) when that section is active. I've looked in the respective layout xml's but I don't see where its referenced. Also, for some reason after making my edits I'm getting "Adding Recipients..." text after the names, any clue where that came from? I made the same edits to another apk except blue, and it didn't do that :confused:
[Android Themes] m4570d0n:
Okay this is driving me nuts. I'm working on trying to edit the Contacts.apk and there is one area I cant seem to figure out:

I know that when I was on a different ROM last week, the text there was ICS blue (#ff33b5e5). I think that whatever theme or style that assigns the text color here is referencing an android platform color (either primary or secondary text color). The major difference that I'm finding is that in my old framework-res I have:

<color name="background_holo_dark">#ff000000</color>

<color name="background_holo_light">#fff3f3f3</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_holo_dark">@color/holo_blue_light</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_holo_light">@color/holo_blue_light</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_dark">#ff4c4c4c</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_light">#ffb2b2b2</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_dark">@color/holo_blue_light</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_light">@color/holo_blue_light</color>​

By contrast, in my current framework-res, I have

<color name="background_holo_dark">#ff000000</color>

<color name="background_holo_light">#fff3f3f3</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_holo_dark">@android:color/background_holo_light</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_holo_light">@android:color/background_holo_dark</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_dark">#ff4c4c4c</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_disabled_holo_light">#ffb2b2b2</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_dark">@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_light</color>

<color name="bright_foreground_inverse_holo_light">@android:color/bright_foreground_holo_dark</color>​

So I'm thinking that somewhere it is being assigned a style or some other reference that eventually leads to the background_holo_dark color. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what exactly that is though. It is like this for both group detail view and contact detail view.

Any ideas?
[Android Themes] m4570d0n:
Look at /res/values/styles.xml for Settings.apk

First thing you should see is something like this:

<style name="info_label">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.info_label</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">4.0dip</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
</style>
<style name="info_value">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.info_value</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
</style>
<style name="info_small">
<item name="android:textAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.info_small</item>
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
</style>

Since they all say "@style" you know it's a reference to another style in that app. That means scroll down. You'll find something like this:

<style name="TextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance" />
<style name="TextAppearance.info_label" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.info_small" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">12.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.info_value" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>

Notice how all 3 styles (label, small and value) all reference the TexAppearance style. That means if you change that style it will change the other three as well. The TextAppearance style references a parent style that begins with "@android:style" which means it is referencing a style in framework-res.apk in /res/values/styles.xml. Go to that file and search for the style names "TextApperance"

<style name="TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">?textColorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">?textColorHighlight</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">?textColorHint</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">?textColorLink</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
</style>

you'll find the corresponding text color xml files in /res/color/ (ex. /res/color/primary_text_holo_dark.xml)

those xml files will then point to a color found in /res/values/colors.xml

You could remove the @android:style parent reference and make a custom style instead to not deal with all of that. You could also add a line in the TextAppearance.info_label or TextAppearance.info_value styles to override the parent style. But then you would have to add that to your colors.xml file for Settings and I personally have not messed with it, but I dont know if there are any external jars/libaries or private references or anything like that which would cause the app to either not compile or FC when you install it, as with xml editing the Contacts.apk. In the case of the latter, the only solution right now apparently, is to build from source.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
In your original both bright_foreground_inverse's point to holo_blue_light in your current one bright_foreground_inverse_holo_light points to dark have you tried changing that to light?

Edit: looking at it again I would try changing bright_foreground_inverse_holo_dark to point to bright_foreground_holo_dark instead of what i suggested before as light to light = black

Best to make them a neutral colour that can work with both black and white text.

[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Sorry I was under the impression you wanted an idea not a solution.

If it was blue on your last rom and it's black now something has changed obviously and I was just pointing out the logic in undoing the changes, you obviously thought they were of relevance or you wouldn't have posted them.

Sorry for stating the obvious again but have you checked the people app?

In the absence of someone pointing you to the exact change needed do some rainbow tests.
[Android Themes] m4570d0n:
Contacts.apk is the "people app." And yes I have checked it. I compiled it from the AOKP repos and the CM9 repos. It is occurring with both. The reason I thought it was referencing a color in the framework is that in the Contacts.apk layout there are several xml files, particularly a couple contact_detail_*.xml and group_detail_*.xml files, which reference "?android:textColorPrimary" or "?android:textColorSecondary", but I am not sure which one I would need to change if that is indeed where I would need to make the change.
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Check the contacts manifest, i'm pretty sure it uses the holo.light theme (or one of its children) if it does you should find the textColorPrimary of that theme in framework will lead to black. You can either *in contacts* -

Change the theme it uses to holo.

Change textColorPrimary to textColorPrimaryInverse or another suitable attribute.

Remove the android attribute and use your own color.

*in framework* -

If using the holo.light theme change where textColorPrimary *on that theme only* leads to, either an existing color xml with a suitable color or your own color.

If you make the change in framework any other apps using the light theme e.g gmail, the color change will be apparent on them too.
