[TUTORIAL] How to change Android's black background

If you ever get bored with the black background in Android, now you can change it by making a few small edits to framework-res.apk/res/values/styles.xml
This will affect MOST of the black background you see in Android (e.g. settings, contacts, mms, installer etc.) with the exception of certain apps that use their on backgrounds (e.g. contacts logs, email etc.).
Difficulty level: Medium
1. Decompile framework-res.apk
2. Navigate to res/values and open styles.xml
3. Locate <style name="Theme">
4. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
5. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
6. Locate <style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">
7. Replace
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
8. Replace
<item name="windowBackground">@color/black</item>
with
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/mybackground</item>
9. Create a 480x800 png to your liking, name it mybackground.png and place it in drawable-hdpi folder
9. Recompile framework-res.apk
DONE!
Always create a backup before making any modifications!!!

Its really not that hard.... Its time consuming in the beginning with trial and error and nandroid recoveres. But its worth it in the end and the selfsatisfaction feels great. "yes, I figured it out" or "I really can do this". Try and see.
As longa you doa back up you really can't screw it up.

Updated OP with screenshots.
You might wanna enlarge the ppics too see better as my background is more subtle. I am using the Ice Cream Sandwich texture.

I'd like to know how to successfully make the font color white in the bubbles of mms and change all of the white background images to black and invert it's color so it's white font on black background. The white background with black font is ugly.
And this is definitely nice! I'll give this a shot, too!

Speaking of guides, Tiffany how does one change the tab colors at the top of the phone and contacts apk.? I've tried swapping out nearly every PNG I can think of in the framework res.apk, system ui, phone, and contacts apps and still can't get my phone off the stock Samsung blue. Thanks.

I've never even looked. My theme is blue so I've always kept it. I'll look and get back to you if someone doesn't give you your answer before hand.

The tabs are located in twframework-res.apk. They are called tw_tab_focused.png and so on.

Thank you, that probably explains why nothing happens when I switch out the PNG's in system UI.

Your information was spot on got most everything swapped out, thanks again.
If I could borrow your expertise again would you know where the files are located in the attached photo. They mostly show up in contacts even though I swapped out the dialer and contacts apps from Crysis21's SensatioN ROM?

changing the size is easy guys just add a text size to the xml.
if that dont work then it is set in the smali and that is easy to override aswell.
also for ****z n giggle i did a quick search
fount this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227869
this has what you have to do to center the clock (in the x10 section)
also (as per team rom) if you are using a custom front i found that you need to change the size of the clock ( so i made it variable ) for an idea of what we you can welcome to check out our files
@kormatoes every one likes different sizes, i like a tiny weeny clock, my GF likes to to take up 90% of her screen (shes a bit blind) and personal preference is everything
to change the size of it in xml this is whaqt to change (stole the snipit of code from another thread but it does the trick)
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:paddingLeft="132.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Add this to it
Code:
android:textSize="[B][COLOR="Red"]18dip[/COLOR][/B]"
change the red part to suit your needs
so in the end it now looks like this
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock [B]android:textSize="[B][COLOR="Red"]18dip[/COLOR][/B]"[/B] android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center" android:paddingLeft="132.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Basically you have over ridden the style size from the framework so there will be no funny business s any where else
**EDIT** - also bare in mind this size stuff WILL NOT work on the TEAM roms as ours is set from our tweaks menu.

[Q] To themers: name of an image

Trying to theme my status bar dropdown, and it's driving me insane.
I replaced the quicksettings and clear notifications icons, but when pressing them they get a green overlay.
Right now I'm trying to find out where this is controlled. Must be one of the .xmls or in smali, but so far I had no luck finding anything.
Anyone else know where to look?

I'm facing the same dillema. I bet it's in smali somewhere... if we're lucky it calls the RGB value from an XML we can change somewhere.

I checked most of the xmls in systemui and had no luck finding anything. If it calls an xml, then it most likely sits in com.htc.resources.apk which would suck :/

It's skinned blue in our Rom so its not in resources. I'm pretty sure it's in framework-res.apk values/colors.xml. holo_green_light & holo_green_dark
But to be sure I'll ask our lead dev sergio tomorrow.

since it will be changed if one applies a HTC Sense theme, and the Matte theme for instance has a blue on pressed color i did a quick apktool d Matte.apk
i found no graphics file inside but i found this inside /res/values/colors.xml
Code:
<color name="overlay_color">#ff0087b4</color>

Yeah it doesn't do what we want it to do though
I found it's easier to just put all your changes in a skin that's already got blue highlights, such as aluminum or matte. Now if I could only get rid of the black clock in the Matte theme I'd be golden!

Nice catch, too bad that the default skin is com.htc.resources.apk, which can't really be edited atm until apktool is updated.
Edit: with your hint I think it's "<color name="multiply_color">#ff00beff</color>" under values/colors.xml. for stock HTC theme, I think it's in SystemUI.apk, trying it out now.
Edit2: yup, that's the value that colors the icon on press . Editing SystemUI.apk is enough. Bear in mind that the color gets overlaid as a multiply layer (think Photoshop)

Yeah that makes sense with the multiply overlay
It was late yesterday when i posted my findings :-D

Thanks man. It's been a little frustrating trying to get this one to look just like the MK3 release. Samsung changed a few things around in framework. I haven't been able to figure out one text in particular because it definitely affects the text in some 3rd party apps. As always, thanks for supporting the theme!

No problem. Go into framework-res/drawable and look for the following 2 xml's: tw_screen_background_selector_dark and tw_screen_background_selector_light. You can also control them in framework-res//res/values/styles.xml.
Edit: Those 2 xml's will actually direct you to "tw_background_holo_dark" and "tw_background_holo_light". Since you want to use a png image, you're going to have to add your png to the drawable folder and then edit the following xml lines:
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_dark/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ff000000" /> change this this line to the name of your png. Example: "@drawable/framework_background"
framework-res/drawable/tw_background_holo_light/
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffffff" /> change this line to the name of your png

Theme Maker Pro - Page Highlight Colour

When creating a theme using the Maker Pro website, I can't seem to change the highlight colour for pages. I've changed the colour values for both highlight options in the Maker, but it doesn't seem to affect the page highlight. I'd like to change the pink colour in the attached image.
I can change it once I've downloaded and applied the theme. Anyone else run into this? Have I missed something obvious? Is it not possible?

I had the same issue. Download the theme on you phone and then apply it. Then go to settings personalize then change accent colors. The only solution I have found.

Ah...whoops. I thought it was your phone.

Maybe i have a solution for you guys, at least for the rooted phones.
I had the same problem on my M8 with Sense 7 Software and Theme Maker Pro.
The pink color seems to appear with a black/dark theme.
I'm using Insert Coin, which has some additional black accent colors.
I made some investigations and i found out, how to change them to the color i want, the htc green from Sense 6.
Ok, if you can edit system files on your phone (root), go to \system\customize\ACC (path/file may vary with carrier phones) and open default.xml with a text editor.
Add the red highlighted part and don't forget to save.
I marked the color code of the accent color which i changed to green.
Code:
<app name="ThemeSelector">
<item type="string-array" name="cmf_theme_color">

I'm not sure, if this can/will work on M9 and its software, but maybe worth a try.
Thanks @ineedone for making this possible!

Maybe i have a solution for you guys, at least for the rooted phones.
I had the same problem on my M8 with Sense 7 Software and Theme Maker Pro.
The pink color seems to appear with a black/dark theme.
I'm using Insert Coin, which has some additional black accent colors.
I made some investigations and i found out, how to change them to the color i want, the htc green from Sense 6.
Ok, if you can edit system files on your phone (root), go to \system\customize\ACC (path/file may vary with carrier phones) and open default.xml with a text editor.
Add the red highlighted part and don't forget to save.
I marked the color code of the accent color which i changed to green.

Small additional note: path is the same for all carriers and works on all devices.
And make sure you change the htc-id (the number in the front) of your new added theme to something different then the other themes, otherwise the themeselector icon might behave a bit unexpectedunexpected

You can report this problem here

I had the same issue.
Your highlight is pink because you chose Black (#000000) for your blinkfeed color.
It seems the tool automatically picks a highlight based on the color you picked. I have attached an image showing you why you got pink. (The color pallet is red for some reason when you pick Black (#000000), and the color chosen seems to come from around the area the arrow points at.. but could be anywhere from the top to the bottom... not sure of the exact pattern.)
The only solution I found was to choose a very very dark NON black color. In the second image, you can see, I used Nearly Black (#00000a) and got a purple highlight.
It seems if you choose Black for your other colors in the screenshots attached, later on you can change those highlights... so it's ok... but Blinkfeed (the first color) has no such option.
It took me hours to play around until I got the Blinkfeed color and highlight color to somewhere "Acceptable". My blink feed ended up being a Navy Blue. And while HTC SAYS you can edit unpublished themes, I have not found a way, so I have to start all over to test colors on my actual phone... Ugh...
