Hi. I need help on resizing widgets.

I'm using Apex. I've played with grid sizes and have turned a margins off.

As you can see I've made the dock background the same colour as the clock widget. But when I move the widget down to it there is a slight gap either side. If I resize the widget one row taller it fills that gap, but it then creates a small one at the bottom.

Also, is there any way of having or making a widget that sits at the top (where the notification bar usually is) that fills all gaps (like a the bottom). I'm trying to get a closed in effect.

(ignore the app icons and their positioning btw, still getting other stuff sorted before I move on to them)

Help!

So I have been trying to theme the Kik Messenger app. I have gotten pretty far but I'm having some issues that have me stumped. I'll post screenshots to explain.

First Image:

For some reason the settings screen is a big giant mess.

1). What happened to the rest of this bar? I also want to change that entire bar to the color code 2e2e2e but I cannot find it for the life of me.

2 and 3). These white bits should not be here since I have changed every instance of android:background to black, Help please?

Second Image:

1). Once again, I want to change this topbar color but I cannot find it anywhere in the .xmls or in the drawable folders.

2). This is a big one. The only reason that this bottom bar is grey and not black is because when I make it black, I cannot see what I am typing because the text is also black. I cannot find where to change the input text color anywhere in any of the decompiled apk.

I really need someone who is good with themes to reach a hand out. I wanted to take this on myself but these last touches are driving me crazy since I am a perfectionist. Thanks for any help!

How do I create my own Bitmaps for shortcuts to Apps that when I touch them it glows giving me a visual feedback that I touched the Icon/Bitmap/Widget?

I just want to create an icon pack for my galaxy note 2. I got all the icons but I don't know how to make a flasheble zip so the icons replace system and installed apps from play store. Could you refer me to an upto date guide that isn't from 2009 or if simple to do then maybe explain how I could accomplish it ?
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
You just want to make a flashable zip?

Head on to Tickelfish's thread!

If you want to theme icons,check fr something called as vrtheme,how to make them etc

Decompile systemui

Browse to res/layout/status_bar_header.xml

You should find dimensions for Clock in der

Or they might be referenced from dimens.xml like [MENTION=904501]dimen[/MENTION]*...

Change the size for clock der

I.e reduce the dpi( size) for clock

You should find them in framework-res.apk

KK has partially merged SystemUi.apk in framework

Try decompiling the apk and going to res/values/strings.xml

Find the labels and remove then,make them empty

I've never tried that though

Just suggesting if helps

Previous ones work with cm11

I juz tried then yesterday

I'll try helpin with whatever I can

Just saw your post and felt doin so:D

Good reminder

Exactly!:(
[Android Themes] Zionator:
Yes as mentioned before I already have the icons but I don't know what to do next to make the flasheble zip so it overwrites all the icons I want.

All I wanna do is replace the stock icons with the ones I have.

Can make a Xtheme with tools and links here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471287

or make a vrtheme instead http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228688

Choose whatever is convenient

Or the hard core way,

extract each system apk with apkMulti Tool,replace the icon.png in drawable-*dpi or mipmap-*dpi

Zip the apk

Do such for all the apks and push them to system

hats tedious .isn't it ;)
[Android Themes] Zionator:

Hi everyone

I don't manage to install the framework from CM11 based ROMs (Beanstalk and DroidKang - it should be the same with others).

In cmd I enter this command: apktool if framework-res.apk

And here is the error message I have:

I used the framework-res.apk from an AOSP based ROM and the installation works but I'm still not able to decompile the framework of the above CM11 based ROMs.

I'm on Windows 7 64bits.

What's the problem?

which XML entries for ICS System Visuals?

I already started a thread about this request I have, but maybe someone will stumble upon this here too.

I´m currently trying to find out which sections in the SystemUI.apk from ICS I have to change to get a white-based ICS.

What I want to change are mainly the notification bar, notification bar expanded background, drawer background, system settings background and the overall text color (would be hard to read atm since it would be white on white )

Does someone know which values I have to change?

I already decompiled the systemUI.apk with help from the JB Theme tutorial, but JB seems to be slightly different.
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
see this [GUIDE] T-mobile theme engine for the faint at heart (non-linux users)

also [Guide][NICS Themer] Create Your Own Themed apk & Become a Themer Yourself -This is used for making Xthemes but will help you.

IF you you the Sample.apk(template) from Cm then you make a Cm Theme

if you use the Template from the Second Link you'll make a Xtheme

So basically the 'res' part of the theme is same from Cm or Xtheme

They Differ in AndroidManifest.xml and smali!

you need to look for proper color definations in res/values/styles.xml and change accordingly i.e change the hex colors to white

also Edit the respective png's

and check 3rd post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251719

Should be helpfull

kind regards
[Android Themes] Madaditya:
Well i can guide you how to find the png's .

Better you try then me scanning for your systemUI

i'll post a small guide here is some time,if you are ready to learn ;)

An Example for changing notification header background and Date colour

Use Virtus Ten Studio-Far Better tool for Theming,Read all the documentation first!!

[/url]

1.Is your decompiled SystemUI.apk

2. Is the layout/status_bar_expanded.xml where you'll find the notification header background and other Images/drawable references when the status bar is expanded.

3.Notice this.The

@drawable/notification_header_bg

is called.

Images are referenced in the same manner!

Now Press Ctrl+Left mouse Click on the code and it will open up the image/drawable responsible for this as shown in 5.

4.Is reference to

@style/Textappereance.Statusbar.Date

Again Press Ctrl+Left Mouse click on 4.

this Opens up the Styles.xml

5.This is the Reference from Click on 3..Here you can change the color from

#ff000000

to Anything you want. GUess

#ffffffff

for white.

6.This margin shows you a preview of the color.

7.Reference when you click 4.

8.Here

color/holo_blue_light is called

.So thats the Colour from /SystemU/values/colors.xml

change it to

#ffffffff white or change the colour reference from holo_blue_light to white(if it exists in colors.xml)

FIND the images and texts you want and theme.them the same way:good:

Hope was useful;)

Hi buddy.

I have a question...

I want hide the clock from status bar in Xperia Z lockscreen...

Is there anyway??

Thank you.

I'm on ICS
[Android Themes] Diego910:
In holo is spinner bla bla. Not sure thought, even less in tw.

For notification pressed it should be in drawable/notification_bg, depends if versions in systemui our framework

If you mean only in the lockscreen I don't know
[Android Themes] :
Yes I Just want it in lockscreen.

I know how to hide clock in every where!
[Android Themes] Diego910:
Lol Okey, i was not sure
[Android Themes] Saah88:
i think its not theme related, themes dont care about conditionalyti - is the device locked or no, maybe try to examine launcher lockscreen settings or status bar settings or just a different laucher for this, so you get completely different lockscreen with new and maybe different settings

The illustration picture Im using is from an Xperia ICS rom, which I made back in July, but it still applies to Jellybean roms nowadays..

Does anyone know how to remove this spacing we seed on the sides? If theres some general setting somewhere that adds it.

The right side is my mockup in photoshop, how I'd like it to look:

I know that this XTheme called HOLO SENSE removes it, but also introduces other changes Im not so fond of... Is there perhaps some smart dude who can look at this theme and maybe figure what part of it removes this padding/spacing/margin on the left and right sides of menus across jellybean? That way I could create my own xtheme that changes nothing but this...

I haven't seen anybody else post this issue and I'm not sure how to describe it to google it. As you can see in the picture, there are blue boxes above each label on the right. I don't know if it's a setting I've enabled or it it's some sort of corruption with my gmail account.

How to modify the text color in the system settings?

I have tried different things without any good result...
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
You can try this thread...
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
If I'm not mistaken it explains what to edit into an apk but not how to integrate these modifications into an apk theme (theme chooser) and I'm good in Styles stuff...
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
Well i believe you would have to make a different styles for different colors.. So someone has options.. Im guessing your using aroma? If im understanding you correctly?
[Android Themes] Primokorn:
No Aroma at all. I have an apk CM11 theme with Theme Chooser and I'd like to change the text color in the settings (see attached) - from white to black.

Kroz told me that it could be found in the Styles but he never tried. After some search nothing works.
[Android Themes] lacoursiere18:
Hmm not too fimiliar with AOSP.. TW here.. Anyways are settings everything is in there..So the text color would be in the apk itself
[Android Themes] lozohcum:
Hey, I want to start making my own theme (not as apk but just theme OS itself) I have some basic skills and I did it before but can you tell me how to change color of the text in android settings? which file refers to it?
[Android Themes] Rudjgaard:
Hi guys,

What's the name of the component in the cm11 dialer, where contacts pop up while dialing number?

Is it dialtacts or is that the incall screen?

Before I start a useless effort, is there some particular reason for which in all themes (even all-blacked out ones) this part is never themed?

(as most of the dialer in general)
[Android Themes] Mobzter:
ok well i thought i would try give you something to work with although i dont have cm11 so my help might not be the very best but i couldnt really see anyone else..

generally i'd say if you havent found the colour within res/values/styles.xml found in settings.apk then it might be referenced to another file like this reference..

example

from what ive learn"@*" relates to linking to core framework so i would say to perhaps check res/values/styles.xml found in framework-res.apk located in /system/framework folder. and if you search for the

example

above (in this scenario)

it would reveal something similar like this

so looking for the textcolor you would try figure out what textColorPrimaryInverse is. so if you do ctrl+f (find) and type it in "without the question mark" (still working within the same file) you would get something similar to this

which is basically telling you

either

its in /res/values/color.xml or within the /res/color folder based under filename primary_text_holo_light.xml (in my case the latter)

there you can change colour but like your settings.apk that is referencing, other apk files may be doing the same therefore changing colour here may cause changes across other areas. if your fine with that then your job should be pretty much done and dusted now. however if not...

if you know about creating styles then you could perhaps create your own text style specifically to be used only for settings.apk (/res/values/styles.xml) or globally, by creating within framework-res.apk (/res/values/styles.xml) so that any other apks you modify could access the same style so you dont have to keep creating one specifically.

im just someone whos learnt bits and bobs over time and mess around with things so like i said not sure if it would be same case for cm11 but i shouldnt think its far off from what ive mentioned. if anything the concept should be similar! anyways this pretty much what i believe.. maybe someone out there might know the real deal and point you in the right direction but if not.. doesnt hurt in trying :) im running kitkat on my htc one and those were just examples off my phone (if knowing any of that helps in any way lol).

well anyways, that was my 2 cents.. hope you get lucky pal! :good::good:

P.S - the examples are really just examples. so dont try searching for the exact names - just had to mention it incase lol and its always best to keep backup before you try anything. best of luck!!

[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
I can't seem to figure out how to change the blue dial numbers in the CM11 dialer and it's driving me nuts. Hoping someone here can tell me what I am missing.

I changed all the dial_num_*_wht .png files in all the different hdpi folders in both the dialer.apk and teleservice.apk and I still have the blue numbers. I looked through a bunch of other .apks thinking maybe those numbers are accessed from another .apk and I can't find any reference to them. The incall numbers changed to white, but the main dial numbers remain blue.

Does anyone know where the files are located that control the blue dialer numbers? Thanks....
[Android Themes] lozohcum:
you can try that way:

download any cm11 theme and try to find dialpads in it, see to which location it's refered

Hi

I try change cm9 settings.apk to use holo white but i have one problem witch text color in menage aplication

I find this in manage_applications_item.xml and try add android:textColor="#ff000000" but this not work.Maybe somone know what is wrong.
[Android Themes] flyinjoe13:
I did that and it refers to it as com_android_contacts_Dial_num_*_wht.png which i'm assuming means the Contacts.apk. So I looked in there and there are no dial_num files in it. I'm totally lost on this one. In the past I usually figured these things out when I tried to do some minor theming of some of the stock apps, but this one has me totally stumped. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Android Themes] MJPollard:
If you look at the CyanogenMod GitHub, you'll find android_packages_apps_InCallUI. This file contains the numbers for the dial pad, but to theme them, you refer to them from your com_android_dialer.xml file (android_packages_apps_InCallUI is a shared file with android_packages_apps_Dialer). I found this out by poking around the GitHub because I needed to update my own themes to handle CM11.
