[Android Themes] MWBehr:
I changed something!!!!

It was just the splashscreen :D

Odd thing though.....they're using the ldpi splash.png
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Lmao, nice, you had me happy there for a second! :p
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Had to break the monotony somehow :D
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yeah, these apps must be sharing some common secret that we must find! We have to figure them out ;)
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Well....although I haven't gotten the desired result I have found out two things:

1. "Light" Display Style seems to be affected by the styles.xml while "Dark" is not.

2. I've screwed with it enough that "Light" has a black background that changes to white when activated/selected. I wish I could explain what exactly I've done to achieve this, but it really doesn't make any sense to me.

My guess is there's a dark background that is "deeper" than the backgrounds applied by the styles.xml.....just no clue what invokes it.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Hmm.... I'll take a look into that too, and I'll look more into that MMS.apk (probably tomorrow) and see if there's some secret to uncover
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
This seems like something of interest:

invoke-virtual {v8}, Lcom/quoord/tapatalkxda/bean/ForumStatus;->isLightTheme()Z

move-result v8

if-eqz v8, :cond_2

.line 1220
const/16 v8, 0xe3

const/16 v9, 0xe6

const/16 v10, 0xeb

invoke-static {v8, v9, v10}, Landroid/graphics/Color;->rgb(III)I

move-result v8

invoke-virtual {v5, v8}, Landroid/widget/LinearLayout;->setBackgroundColor(I)V

It's in smali\com\quoord\tapatalkxda\adapter\threadadapter.smali
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Hmmm.... I'm not very proficient in smali, is this basically where it's getting it's background coding from?
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Well I was hoping you could tell me. Looks like I'm going to blindly screw with it and find out :D
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Lol, sorry, I've only messed with smali once :o
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Ya, not much more for me.....and screwing with it didn't seem to result in anything helpful.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
We will figure this out, it may take time, but we will get this! :D
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Ya, I just feel pretty confident (just like I do with the Mms and Settings) that I've changed everything in the pngs and xmls that could possibly result in a black background. While I could, of course, be wrong, if I'm not that means it's either in the smali files or in an outside source.

Just a quick FYI, Contacts.apk required me to edit the primary theme in the styles.xml to reference a transparent image as well as change list_selector_normal.9.png (or something similar) in framework-res.apk to translucent.

I just don't see how a market app could be too heavily reliant on outside background images that they know might be dramatically different than expected.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I'll ask around with some other great themers to see what they know too :D
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Sounds good to me, I'm rather new at this in general, so I don't really know anyone. I posted in the general theme question thread, but I don't think anyone really looks in there anymore :D

Edit: Do you realize yentlequible's original post about his market problems was back on page 11? We have really hijacked the hell out of your thread :D
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Lol, yeah it's ok, I always want to help, and now I need help making XDA transparent! :p
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
Ya, that's how I kinda got addicted. I started out just helping port a popular theme....then I had an idea for my own theme....now I'm screwed because I'm obsessed with a seemingly impossible goal :D
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
It's possible! We can get it, I'll keep working on it, and like I said, I'll ask around some :D
[Android Themes] secondskin:
Hey Impaler. It's nice to see u again. I remember all the work you did on the Hero.

Anyways, I've moved on to the Evo now and tried flashing black and neon green with no luck.

I made sure to make sure there wasn't vending in data/app as well. When I first tried flashing I got an error that said the zip wasn't signed correctly. I then turned off signature verification and flashed but nothing changed when I booted back up.

Also I have the newest market 2.2.11 that was just releaseda few days ago so I don't know if that makes a difference.
[Android Themes] sketch2k278:
Here's a color

Impaled, saw this on another forum and figure that you would to do a black themed one :D
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
I'm back... After a few days messing with my new rom, I tried installing your theme again. I can get them to install successfully for only a little bit if I install over the stock market. For example, I installed the neon blue one but it reverted back to green within an hour or so. might have happened sooner, I wasnt paying that much attention to it at the time.

if it helps, I am running the cognition 3.03 Rom for the captivate.
[Android Themes] corgar:
New 2.2.11 market is out. Dev need to update themed market
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
I will also add that this happened when I tried installing without deleting any vending.apk in the data/app folder. When installed after deleting the vending.apk, nothing would show up, just like before... Guess it is useless for my phone :p
[Android Themes] aadil7:
I have just tried the neon blue n wow thanks loads

Will be waiting for the red now... I know that will be hot like fireee!!
[Android Themes] MWBehr:
It's because these are version 2.2.7. After you install it, it will shortly update itself automatically and silently to the newest version: 2.2.11. Nothing can really be done about it aside from theimpaler having to go through and retheme them all again for the new version. He's got a lot of projects going on, so it's understandable that he hasn't been able to get to it yet.
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
Ah ok, that would explain it :p

I will patiently be waiting for an updated one then.
[Android Themes] mercado79:
I have a theory I'm hoping someone might look into for me. I've been using a themed version of AOSP 0.9.9.2 (TwoPointTwo Theme) and it seems that because of this, the new market was never applied.

On a related note, I think, I was running out of space in internal memory. Couldn't figure out why until I found that inside the /cache folder, I had something like 60mb of junk apk files. My guess was that they were cached downloads from the Market. They all were named downloadfile.apk (-1, -2, etc.). So, I deleted them and gained a bunch of disk space back. I wrote about it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798295&page=2

However, this morning I saw that there was a new downloadfile.apk file sitting in /cache again. I clicked on it and it said it was the Android Market (and asked me if I wanted to overwrite the current installation). Weird.

Just now, I made a nandroid backup, deleted Vending.apk from my /system/app directory and pushed this new apk I found in /cache. And voila... new market version 2.2.11.

So, that's where you guys come in. Can someone please take a look inside their /cache directory for me and let me know if you have a downloadfile.apk file sitting in there? I wonder if all that space was being taken up by Google repeatedly trying to update my Market version, but failing cause it was themed. Did it just keep downloading the same damn file over and over again?

If this mystery is solved, it might help others too. Thanks in advance guys.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that's why... ill need to update these, check back later today :)

This is really odd...........

Flashed the black/green yesterday and it looked fantastic.

Rebooted my phone today and no matter what I do it doesn't work anymore?

I delete the vending.apk and flash which ever theme but when I reboot I still have the standard green market??

Any ideas?

So Amon ra can flash this?
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yup sure can ;)
[Android Themes] gigi2971:

Turn off verification. Or sign it

Samsung Galaxy Spica (I5700)

Im on CyanogenMod6.1.1

Its a MDPI phone, but I have tweaked my density, in case that matters.

CM Recovery v2.5.1.0 & LK+XM0.6

I tried the first and second.

NeonMarketBlack & NeonMarketLight

Come to think of it, ive noticed that you only support HDPI devices..

the background colors (which are themed) are loaded from a XML file, if im correct.

But the icons are png's.... So im thinking im seeing the unthemed MDPI icons?

Does that make sense? :p
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Correct, you'll still see the xml edits, just not he pngs :D now, you're con clockworkmod recovery, so it should flash.... hmm, make sure verification is off for flashing files, perhaps that's why?

Sent from a truly Epic phone!
[Android Themes] Spoetnicus:
No, the signature verification and script asserts are turned off.

I tried every combination of those well.

I did get it to work with a manual install tho, so im not that worried about that.

I guess right now im just gonna have to wait for the MDPI support :p

Its just downscaling some png's right?
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yup! It'll be simple when I get around to it, its just getting around to it :p :)

Thanks! Where do I find this kind of information anyway?
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Awesome, I'll be sure to work on it then lol :)

Not sure, you just know it really..... most new devices are HDPI, especially bigger screen size.
[Android Themes] Spoetnicus:
I was too curious, so i wanted to give it a go myself.

but after decompiling i found that there were 26 png's, in the hdpi-v4 folder, that were empty.

the files were there, but all 0kb and empty.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Could be my mac adding in stupid ds.store files like it likes to do :o
[Android Themes] Spoetnicus:
no they are actual image files.

appwidget_bg.9

appwidget_gb_focus.9

appwidget_bg_press.9

btn_strip_pressed.9

btn_strip_selected.9

and 20 more

How do I make this work? I extracted the files onto my sd card and when I try to reinstall packages in the recovery menu it has an error and aborts the installation.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Hmm, are they all .9pngs?

Don't extract anything; place the zip on your sd card and flash it :)
[Android Themes] Spoetnicus:
Yes.

I decompiled both NeonBlack and NeonLight.

They both have the same empty 9.png's in their hdpi-v4 folder
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Bah. There's a problem with my .9pngs, they're really screwed up. You any good with .9pngs? They hate me, they really do :mad: :p
[Android Themes] Spoetnicus:
I added a screenshot in my previous post, so you can see which png's are acting up.

Furthermore, you have issues because youre on a mac!!!! XD

lol, just kiddin :p

What makes .9.png's different from other pngs besides the filename?

I thought it was because they are supposed to be spread out on a surface more easy? (divided in 9 pieces, etc)
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Yeah, and they are like "patches" more then they are images, since text and buttons must be on them. I've never gotten them to draw correctly for me, it's ridiculous :(

Really sick themes, I've been dying for a blue market like this! Gonna flash the impaled neon blue one when I get back home. Quick question, are these the new 2.2.11 market builds or are they the 2.2.7 builds? If they are 2.2.7 any chance of getting a 2.2.11 update?
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
2.2.7, and the upgrade will be on its way today :)
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
Well for some reason I can't get mine to work. My phone has never displayed the zip files in recovery mode so the only way I was able to get it to find it was rename the file to "update.zip" and select "reinstall packages". It says it was installed, but when I check the market it is still normal.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Do you have an MDPI phone? Is there a vending.apk in data/app?
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
It shouldn't be mdpi. It is a Samsung captivate. And I didn't see a vending.apk in my data folder either.
[Android Themes] theimpaler747:
Ok, that's good.... so you boot into recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard," pich the zip, and no go? Can you manually push the themed vending.apk to system/app for me if it still doesn't work?
[Android Themes] yentlequible:
I have no option to install zip from SD card. I only have reinstall packages. And that only finds the file if I rename it to update.zip

[Android Themes] yentlequible:
Where do I check that at?
