To Increase the number of viewable toggles, decompile SystemUI.apk

For the number of toggles in portrait mode, edit \res\values\integers.xml

change

<integer name="quick_settings_num_columns">5</integer>

to

<integer name="quick_settings_num_columns">[COLOR="Red"]6[/COLOR]</integer>

(6 being the new number of toggles you want displayed in portrait mode)

For the number of toggles in landscape mode, edit res\values-land\integers.xml

change:

<integer name="quick_settings_num_columns">8</integer>

to:

<integer name="quick_settings_num_columns">[COLOR="Red"]10[/COLOR]</integer>

(10 being the new number of toggles you want displayed in landscape mode)

Recompile SystemUI.apk

Note: This works on Samsung Galaxy S2 & S3 using stock or stock based roms. Hopefully other devices & roms have similar code.

[MENTION=2948558]Spannaa[/MENTION]

Thanks for the very detailed instructions !

Unfortunally that's not exactly what I was looking for.

I'll try one more time:

The theme Flux changes the number of tiles ! If I setany other theme there will be shown 6 or 7. I managed to find what the problem is.

In CM11 there's an option to shrink the tiles to show more. The theme flux somehow does not respect that and thus is showing only 5 tiles.

So I was thinking, there has to be a file (xml etc. ?) which is resposible for exactly this. Does anyone know where the file is ?

Is my thinking even correct ?
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
Look in flux theme assets/overlays/com.android.systemui/res/values/dimens.xml perhaps he made the tiles and icons larger, so that they don't fit.
[Android Themes] Spannaa:
Maybe, maybe not...

Usually, each tile is a fixed sized png positioned over an expandable .9.png background.

Shrinking/expanding the background (and therefore the tile size) is done automatically when the number of tiles is decreased/increased using the setting in the xml files I mentioned before.

I am new to theming but am making a CM11 theme. I have successfully been able to theme the dialer, notification pull down, apollo, calculator and some other apps. I want to theme the settings app but am having some problems. I have been able to change the text colors and background by changing the default font colors and background image in framework but then other apps that use those same resources are changed and I don't want that. I want to just change the text and background in settings. How would I do that? Also, I haven't been able to change the action bar in settings.

Thanks
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
This can be achieved in styles.xml..

If your on CM settings and all system apps use Holo dark as their background (primarily) so see how that imaged you changed in the framework res is called in styles in framework res..then apply the same style in settings but change the image to whatever you want and drop it in the drawables folder..

Sametime with the actionbar.. see how it's used in styles in framework and apply that in styles in settings..
[Android Themes] jmdub85:
I have been messing around with this all night but not getting anywhere. Here is what I have in my styles.xml under com.android.settings. I found some of this online after researching. What do I have wrong here? I also added the colors I referenced to colors.xml and I am just trying to set the background to a solid color.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<resources>

<style name="Theme">

<item name="android:colorForeground">@color/transparent</item>

<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/settings_background</item>

</style>

<style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">

<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>

<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/settings_background</item>

</style>

</resources>
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
You are basically setting your own theme up but are not assigning it to anything..

You can't just add a style and than have that style call a parent theme.. You need to set the app to use it.. That is controlled in the AndroidManifest.. But there is easier ways to do this..

Post you whole styles.xml here and I will look at it.. I will show you the edits (might need to mess with it a little) and than explain why.. So you can see and learn and be able to teach others as well...

Also see if in your settings you have this style:

<style name="Theme.Settings" parent=@ ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:actionBarStyle" @ ANDROID:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.Solid</item>
<item name="ic_menu_moreoverflow" @ ANDROID:drawable/finger_print_arrow_017</item>
</style>

IF so you action bar is set right there..@ ANDROID:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.Solid) <--- That is the call to the framework res.. you can tell by this :@android:style. Any @ ANDROID mean that it is referring to the framework to get it's style, drawable, color etc. So if you want your actionbar, define it right there.. a drawable for instance or a color.. for a drawable just create one and drop it in you drawable-xhdpi folder..

Now for the window background.. Add it like you did above:

<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/settings_background</item>

But make sure you add that color in your colors.xml or you can just define a color right there as well, either in a hex or like this:

@ ANDROID:color/black

:good:

PS: Android does not have to be capitalized.. Stupid @ made it a mention and capitalized it..
[Android Themes] jmdub85:
What I posted is my entire styles.xml under com.android.settings. I started my theme using the CM 11 theme template and there was originally no styles.xml in the theme so I added it and that's what I put in last night trying to just get the background changed. Thanks for the info about adding the [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION] now that makes sense to me. I think maybe I am not understanding the CM 11 theme engine. I thought I only would need to put the things in styles.xml that I wanted to change. Thank you for taking the time to help someone new learn this stuff.
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
Decompile settings apk, or download the res folder from github. You need to modify the existing theme.settings style
[Android Themes] jmdub85:
I got it working last night. I still have to find where to change the font colors but the action bar and background are working. When I get home I will post what I did in case anyone has this same question in the future.
[Android Themes] jmdub85:

Nice job, that is exactly what I meant by adding text color attributes to the style.[emoji6]

Saving Themes

Apologies for the very newb question in advance so please be gentle :)

I adore themes and art apps. I am one of those that probably provides Google Play with half of its net income on themes! However, I love to be able to switch themes on the fly so to speak.

It takes a while to get my icons just so, set up matching widgets and once done, I can, of course, back up the theme as each launcher will happily do so...

However after a day or so I get bored and want another look but if I set up a new theme, it backs up over the old one

Is there an app that will save my theme profiles that I can download from Play that will give me the ability to store my different themes, or am I going to have to resort to finding where one theme is backed up, removing that restore file into a different folder and hopefully save the new theme and if I want the old restore, swap them over when required

Cheers
[Android Themes] hoppermi:
Pretty sure next version of CM theme engine will allow for backing up your setup. Stay tuned....

Hi

I have a CM11 theme which I like a lot except for a few things I want to change. I know how to compile and decompile with akpstudio but I'm having trouble figuring out how to change certain things

1/ how to change the font size and colors of the category headers, e.g., in Settings

WIRELESS & NETWORKS

wifi

Bluetooth. Etc

PERSONALIZATION

Theme

Etc

and how to style the line that is drawn underneath as done in some theme.

2/ how to change the color of the selection highlight bar. For example, when you select Theme in the menu above

3/ how to theme the toast message?

4/ is there a theme generator to make one from scratch? I see on the web there's a holo colors generator and an app bar generator but I don't know quite what to do with the files generated.

Thanks

I am trying to change the in call BG (see pic). This is TW 4.4.4 T-Mobile.

I went into SecPhone/res/values-sw360dp-xxhdpi/color.xml and changed the following:

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

The color did not change in the BG. Does anyone know if there is another xml? Or maybe in framework-res?

ANY help in this will be appreciated.

Insert audio file into live wallpaper

I have a question,

I ran a theme and loaded my favourite live wallpaper. It had a dreadful video but nice audio track played. Some how when I changed this back it kept the audio track and I could put any wallpaper up. This was awesome until I had to reboot the phone and I lost that ability.. I tried to recreate it but sadly no. Can anyone fill me in on how it can be done, I can switch this on at will please.

Noobish questions

1/ I'm using virtuous ten studio. Seems like it tries to recompile every time. Even when all I've done is edit couple of pngs, it recompiles. Seems to me it should just zip the files up. Aside from taking time, it also makes my PC fan kick in, which is annoying. Is there a setting to make it smarter?

2/ I feel like I'm spending too much time reverse engineering the theme (cm11). Like what does this or that do? Often it is not obvious. notification scrim color? There are several notification background pngs. Which is what? Or how do I change this gray line or that text color? I'm sure the answer is buried somewhere in this huge thread, but I feel like there must be a man page somewhere explaining all this.

I did see a page explaining how to theme notification, but I forgot to bookmark it and now I can't find it.

There isn't a simple way unless you have access to hi-res versions of the pngs.

If you don't, then then the only way to make a xxhdpi versions would be to re-draw them all.

So I followed a tutorial for creating a lockscreen for MIUI and finished the XML file and image editing, but the end of the tutorial doesn't show where to stick the files or what to do with them. This is my first time doing any sort of creation so I'm a bit lost on where to put the manifest, lockscreen wallpaper, locker/slider, and the lockscreen sounds. I'd just like to be able to drop them onto the phone and get it over with but I can't find anything except tutorials on how to edit existing themes(which I didn't do). It sucks to be stuck after I finished figuring out the XML stuff.

[Q] Editing Next Launcher Widget apks

I'm trying to edit the calendar widget for Next Launcher. Whenever I make any changes, even just 7zip slipping a recolored png (not even .9), it won't install. If I try to rebuild it from source, it installs, but then FC's immediately. Any ideas on how I can go about doing this?

I use a blue theme on my phone, but the calendar has little red tabs, and some orange text which is unsightly.
[Android Themes] Spannaa:
As Next Calendar Widget is a playstore app, it will need re-signing once you've edited it for it to work.

Because you don't have the keys used by the developer, you'll have to use your own (the generic testkeys will do) but be aware that if you want to update the app to a newer version through the market, it will not work. You will have to uninstall your modded version, install from the market and then re-modify it and sign it again.
[Android Themes] mmapcpro:
Thanks for your help. I tried signing it with test keys and also my own keystore. If I do that, it will install, but FC's. I think since it integrates with Next Launcher 3D, perhaps the launcher has a way to check the key?

I also tried redirecting resources with my own theme by creating a folder for that app, and the images I want to change (can't do much about the text because they hard coded into layouts), but the files don't get redirected. It completely ignores the theme. Weird.
[Android Themes] Spannaa:
Mmm...

Maybe the launcher does check the key is the same as it's own.

Did you try re-signing the launcher too - I can't think of another way if a CM11 theme doesn't work either.

How to create CM11 bootanimation for theme chooser

I tried making a CM11 bootanimation (apk) with a resolution of 1080x1080. When I installed it on a 720x1280 device it didn't scale down to fit screen. Please teach me how to make a bootanimation in general for all devices (xxxhdpi, xxhdpi, xhdpi).

Thanks.

[Android Themes] Lacedaemon:
Hey all,

I'm trying to remake this boot animation (for personal use) for my EVO 4G LTE. I've resized all the images to 720x1280, put them in their respective folders (part0, part1), made a desc.txt, and archived into a ZIP (I'm on OS X, and yes, I used the CLI no-compression flag). However, it only plays part0, which only contains 2 images, and then stays on a black screen until the boot process is done. Here's the desc.txt:

720 1280 2
p 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1

Why won't it play part1? I've attached the bootanimation.zip I'm currently attempting to use. Any helps would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
Remove .DS_Store files into part0 & part1 and try with:

720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
c 0 0 part1

Increase the frame rate.

SPB Mobile Shell

I really miss my old Mobile Shell. Has anyone come up with a Theme or software like this yet.
[Android Themes] mannyb:
The RC releases are T-Mobile specific as far as I know. RC30, RC33 are both T-Mo US, RC8 is T-Mo UK. ADP is Android Dev Phone, it's the phone that devs (or regular people pretending to be devs) can buy from Google, completely unlocked and with root access and all that. The JF mods of these images (RC8, RC33, ADP1.1 etc) just adds a bit of functionality, like a proper boot loader and multitouch etc.

Themes are very version specific; if a theme is developed for ADP1.1 it most likely won't work on anything but an ADP1.1 image; not on an RC33 image nor on an ADP1.1h image.

You should not have to wipe just to install a theme, that way you won't have to authenticate over and over again. Just make sure the theme you're installing is compatible with your exact version/image. Skip the alt+w and you should be fine.

Pull - up - app like Status Bar ?

Ok i dont know anything about theme and hacking phone and stuff but i just think up a very good idea (atleast it a good idea for me).

So as u all know that ur Status Bar is always on ur screen no matter where u are and what app u in. So what u think if ur Pull-up-app (where all ur app is) is like that too (always there no matter where u are and what app u in)?

- So that mean that when u in a app and u want to change into another app, what u do is press home -> pull up the apps -> chosen the app u want to go to.

- But if ur pull-up-app is always there, same as ur status bar, the only thing u have to do is pull up the apps -> chosen the app u want to go to. U didnt have to exist out the app u in at that time

So it will save u alot of times (sometimes other app take forever to exist and u lazy to press the home button).

Yea i know this kinda like impossible to do (i think) but who know? Maybe some pro-hacker should give this a try :)

Thanks for reading me idea
