I been lookin into skinnin the dialer in my ROM. I'm wanting to go black but am unable to find all the necessary files I need to edit.
Anyone know all the files needing to be edited?
All the images for the dialer are in Contacts.apk. Careful though, most are the tricky .9.png types. Finally for anything fancy like transparent background for the dialer as a whole, you'll need to decompile and modify xml, I believe.
FYI- Images and functions for in-call screens are in Phone.apk.

i dont have a contacts.apk... just a htccontact which dont contain any dialer images or I'm completely missing something
Sorry I was describing for a vanilla setup. No idea what apk serves up the dialer in Sense.

What rom are you using? I have a custom HtcDialer.apk that I modded to have white text and I have a metamorph to change the images in the resources as well. I'd be happy to share - the dialer is from Virtuous 3.1.
The only thing I haven't figure out is how to change the text when you're in a call. For some reason, when in a call, the dialer text turns back to black. I'm still trying to figure it out. If anyone happens to know what has to be changed to make the text white in a call, PM me!
IncROM is the Rom I want to skin

If you want to upload your Phone.apk and HtcDialer.apk I can edit them for you.
I will when I get back home....I appreciate the help

That thread is very helpful. I haven't ventured into changing the font yet, I just wanted to change the numbers to white and add a new button background which wasn't too bad.

If you were able to get it to work I'd like a black one with white numbers if you could post it.I'm using sky raider by the way.
Attached are the 2 files you requested. They are from the 3.26.605.1 leak, incase specifics are needed. Also, I will be sure to give you the credit when they make it into one of my ROM updates.
Thanks again OSully... most appreciated!!

All the xml's look right so I dont think it is that. But, I havent worked too much with theme apk's so If I sound like a reject, Im sorry.
I did see that com_android_contacts_custom_background_dialer is solid black. maybe that is why the bg's are not the themed one you want.
For the minimize/maximize i cant really help other than say find that image and do a dirty hack. lol.
Wish i could be more help.

If you know what the png's are called you can verify that the system is calling for the right framework pics I think in your public xml just to make sure.
How would I do a dirty hack. And where is the public xml located

Public xml is in values folder, also you can go to your drawables folder and look for any thing referencing to your anim and it will show you if the file is right. . And a dirty hack sounds like shotty work to me. Idk I may be wrong but I guess its up to you to use or not.
I wouldn't mind giving a try.tho im clueless when it comes to this ****

This is my first time ever putting together a theme. I used UOT kitchen just to put something together. Its just black and blue with honeycomb icons.
I think it still needs some work, I'm not sure how to edit the colors of widgets or apps yet.
I am probably going to make some changes as I get better. If anyone has any advice then feel free to PM me.
Features : Custom Battery Icon
Honeycomb Icons
Black notification bar (transparent background)
Dark Blue overscrolls
Other slight Color changes
Kinda ugly I think... But Im sharing it anyway!
You should be able to flash via CWM.
BACK UP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING JUST IN CASE.
NEW: Just edited some of the colors a bit And changed the battery icon.
Screenshots
(Not updated for new version) I will take new screenshots later. I am tired. The new colors are much better I think.
Changes
Please tell me what you like / dont like.
Looks great besides the battery icon, should be blue like the rest. Great work though and thanks!

Its honeycomb colored. But It changes color when your battery is at different levels.
At full charge it matches the rest of the honeycomb icons.
Im working on some tweaks already. I dont like the color of the pop up screens.
I understand, thanks a million, looks great so far. I'm excited to see where you take it.
Maybe I should research this kitchen stuff and take a shot at themes too!

Kitchen is real easy. Im trying to figure out how to mod the widgets and other apks to match the theme.

You can do this by using a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open the APK files (they're effectively just .zip archives with a different extension) and changing the files. Its pretty easy save for the part where you have to make new images. Most images used in Android are .9.png files which need to be nine patched. There are tons of threads all over XDA about how to do this. Check it out, mate.
BTW nice work.

The original ics theme had a nice looking lockscreen. The new one that fixes the black menus no longer has that lock screen. I would like to pull the one and put it in the other but cannot locate it in the zip. Forgive my noobishness and please help me out.

Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone has any idea where I could get a dark or black themed stock contacts apk. I really like the color scheme and style of Contacts+ but I'd rather stick with the stock because I like its setup.
If you have any help, please feel free to share or point me in the right direction. Thanks ahead, cheers!

Hello! Thanks for your response! Could you please post a your signature link in a reply? I seem to not be able to click it on my XDA app for some reason.
Edit: I got to it. But, I was looking more for a flashable zip I suppose? Just want to replace the current dialer without changing my current rom
