That files are in framework, not in dialer.apk
Sent from my Galaxy S powered by VA GREEN
I thought so, you will not know the name of that image?
Thanks
Id also like to know all the files responsible for the theme on the dialer tabs and on the contact tabs.
Look for files starting with "tab...". There's about 8 of them.
And there are files starting with tw_tab...
The files that start with "tab" are used for other applications. Like SuperUser, Speedtest.net, etc.
The "tw_tab" files are for the Contacts and Dialer.
Im using an incomplete theme as of now and I would like to revert some thing back to stock till they are completely themed, apart from the contacts and dialer tabs the mms application seems to be a bit themed ( w/o the use for any new mms.apk ) I want to revert the colors on the bar that says messaging and new message and also revert the colors back from green to white.. basically reverting it back to the stock look.
Thank you very much for the help, at the end thanks to your replies have been unable to locate where those files are not on the framework-res.pak, are in Twframework-res.apk.
could you please tell me what exact files they were.
Cheers
Well i think you can find icons on the tab in this place:
DialerTabActivity->drawable-hdpi
Files are:
form left to right
1 - call_dial_tab_dialer_normal.png
2 - call_dial_tab_call_normal.png
3 - call_dial_tab_favorites_normal.png
4 - dialer_tab_contact_button_normal.png
Last one is different 'cause is a button that opens another panel....
There's also '_focused' version for the first three and '_pressed' for the last.
If you want to change background you have to find in
twframework-res.apk->drawable-hdpi the following files
tw_tab_focused.9.png
tw_tab_focused_ss.9.png
tw_tab_pressed_ss.9.png
tw_tab_selected.9.png
tw_tab_selected_ss.9.png
tw_tab_unselected.9.png
tw_tab_unselected_ss.9.png
To have them trasparent make them to the same color of the background. I made the black so i see only icons.

Trouble using manila editor please help
I opened the manila editor but when I select a path a window pops up and I select my mobile device and that is as far as it will let me go
don't edit the manila directly via the phone,
back up all the manila files to your PC,
then edit the ones you need,
also,
make a secure back up that will never get edited,
just in case you need the stock ones, in the future.
Thats what Im doing on the PC but it won't open a path to the phone
don't open a path to your mobile device! Open a path to the folder
where you have the copy of all ......_manila files

WAD2 and TF3D icons sets
www.swampthing.net
What would it take to get just a notification bar, no theme, no app icons... just the notification bar (with the notification icons) . I'm taking a wild guess and I am thinking that I would just swap all the files in a themed ROM to the cooked ROM of the same build and re-sign it? Or is it possible to push and pull, Im also guessing this might be tedious if even possible.
I'd also like to take the time to say THANK YOU to all the Theme Devs who keep pumping their work out. I'm a fairly simple person and dont run to many themes, but I can definitely appreciate all the ART that you guys give to the community.
If need be, and if a kinda soul is willing to do so, contact me if you'd like me to make a "donation" in exchange for your kind services. Thanks in advance.
Tell me which rom you want it done for ,and which notification bar and icons you want. If you can give links that would be great and i can do it when i get off work. What you said about replacing the stuff and signing the rom is all you need to do though but i can do it if you don't want to go through all that

F'in awesome Richie!!!
so could I open both .zips and copy and paste after deleting it out of the cooked ROM. Or is there a process that has to be followed? Does each one have to be re-signed? What tools are you guys using(outside of editing)?
Would there be any real benefit, performance wise, if I just did the notification bar and icons over a full blown app.?
I also decided to go with teds theme

All you have to do is replace the png's in the zip.You don't have to unzip it. After it asks you to modify the zip, click YES. Then >>>SIGN<<< the zip.

How-to:
1. Decompile framework-res.apk, navigate to \res\values\
2. do a search for strings.xml files in explorer
3. Drag and drop all the files from the search results into Notepad++
4. Find using REG expressions:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2.*
replace with:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2"> </string>
(Tip: use the "replace in all open documents" button)
5. Save all files
6. Compile apk as usual
Nice m8. Works great.
Edit: Noticed that I still have the text for swiping the screen. Did you remove only english text because mine is in finnish?
What is the name of the file you have edited to remove the wordings?

For English, it's under res\values\strings.xml
Do a search in the file for zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2
You can also find other strings.xml files for various languages in other values folders (e.g. values-es)
Is it possible to get this for JM1? I would absolutely love this D:

Hello GUIse
I thought I'd try my dab hand at modifying the AOSP MMS.APK and see what I could do. As you know, I helped create & ported the Black Android Theme to the SGSII so I love the theme and I love Blackifying apps. So, I present to you my Inverted AOSP (Google) MMS.APK which is COMPLETELY Black (Screenshots Below)
I'm going to be inverting alot more apps to give in mine & Pele's theme.
This should work on all ROM's. If it doesn't let me know and I'll be sure to fix it straight away.

Hi NitrozK, the MMS apk looks brilliantly black. Awesome. I renamed it and replaced it with the MMS.apk in the system folder and it worked fine with the Revolution 2.6 ROM and with JKay lockscreen. But the system stays awake all the time with "Google Services" keeping it awake, hogging the battery. And when I replaced it with the original one, the system was sleeping like it should. I don't know where or what the problem is.
I didn't add it as a separate apk but replaced the MMS one, as I didn't want another one. Can you look into this as this looks superb. I've added a screenshot of the wakelock issue.
Thanks a lot.
Hi Nitroz, all working fine on KH3 stock rom, apart from compose icon when pressing menu, is displaying completely the wrong icon.
Hi may I request you to include this mod into your apk please ....

Saint's Color Editor v1.1

Version 1.1
* Looks up and loads named colors like @color/black from the same xml file and also interprets standard named colors
* Improved error handling
Click to expand...

How to install and use?
Pretty simple..
- Unzip ColorEditor.exe anywhere you like and run..
- You must have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed on your pc
- Open any android xml file that contains colors
- Click on colors you want to change and choose alternate color from the color dialog that pops up (the app will automatically identify the hex code)
- When you are done, hit File/Save or Saveas..... as simple as that

Very good tool definately makes changing colors easy. One question is do you use this to change the colors.xml from framework res cause i seem to just get boot loops whenever changing a couple of colours in that file even if just copy the resources file to a working framework res still get a bootloop. Not sure what to try. I only change the clock and secondary text colour. Any help would be great.

Yes, I use this a lot to change colors.xml and no I never had boot loops. Boot loops cannot be due to changing colors. It could be due to the way you compile the apk's. For system apk's try not to flash signed apk's. I used to get boot loops when I sign system apk's. Flash only unsigned system apk's. Hope this helps...
hi i want to change the color of like the text in messages, the text which you type out, which value should i edit in my framework color.xml?
