Patience is key my friend. Before you bump your own thread you might wanna wait 24 hours.

im very patient...sorry...its just i had to reflash the acs rom 3x after trying to install all black dialer...everytime i tried to install it, the dialer icon just disappers...i copied the dialertabactivity to system/apps thru root explorer...i didnt touch the phone.apk tho...i didnt think i had to since the file i downloaded only contained 1 apk..
mystery...if i wanted to install the dialer from your theme, will i ba able to do that without flashing the whole theme? im still running syndicate 1.0..

Alternative Google Search Widget & black themed market

When i had my DHD, i loved Revolution Theme by he_stheone64
one thing i missed when moving over to my beloved SGSII was the themed Google search widget.
I pushed it staright to system/app/
and it works beautifully.
Thought id upload it here.
For some reason you get 2 icons added to app list, Maybe needs looking at.
But Market works as far as i can tell
Been wanting this for ages. Thanks alot

EDIT: market search didn't work for me so I used root explorer event to vending.apk and changed owner to 1000-systems, rebooted and all was fixed. Love the new look

Right figured it out. Open root explorer navigate to system/app find vending.apk hold for options
Click permissions
Set user group and other to read
Set user write
Then untick all other boxs.
Hope this helped

Go to root explorer, system, apps press+hold on vending.apk, Vito change owner, 1000-system. Also make sure your read-wright at top of screen. Reboot.

You do not install it by clicking, you have to push. Apk's to system/app/ using adb or file explorer like root explorer

Okies, thanks. Didn't realize it was a system file, and didn't think of that at 3am, haha. Installed now

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

[Guide][How-to] Add Contacts Tab Back FI25/FI27 Dialer

Here is a workaround to add the contacts tab back into the dialer for builds FI25 and FI27 deodexed stock rom for anyone that wants it.
This flashable zip contains the FI03 contacts.apk and the FI25/FI27 framework.jar (the classes.dex are identical).
Modifying the contacts.apk is a major undertaking so I just used the working one from FI03 (last build with contacts in dialer), the framework.jar was a minor smali edit.
Added flashable stock restore for contacts & framework.
Please download the stock restore in case you need it.
________________________________________________
Howto:
Extract the contacts.apk from the FI25-FI27.Contact.Dialer.Fix.zip and replace the one in the ROM.
Edit FI25/FI27 Framework.jar and replace the attached file:
android/telephony/PhoneNumberUtils$CountryCallingCodeAndNewIndex.smali
It is a very small file. If you want to see the changes, compare them yourself.

Hear, hear. And maybe a before/after screenie? Have to admit that I never used the FI03 build and don't even know what I am missing.

Can't get the odex version to work. Someone else will have to give it a try or you will have to use deodexed rom for this.

That is just one of the files that gets replaced if someone wants to do it themselves but you need to know how to decompile the framework.jar file to do it. I added the how-to so Developers could change their ROM files easily without having to start over from stock.
I flashed the other 2 and and its been working great. Just wast sure if it was something else I needed or an add on mod to give me a new feature. Thanks for the work! I can't understand how Samsung thinks we like having the dialer without the contacts tab.
