[Q] Dialer font color - where?

I want to change the color font in the phone keypad.
Decompile htcdialer (apktool) but I can not find section where to declare this color.
I have black, I want white....
Anyone knows where it changes?
Help

Oki ... i find section:
styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="text_style_dialer_button_number">
<item name="android:textSize">27.0sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/color_255_255_255</item> === (was 0 0 0)
but apktool shows errors:
DEcompilation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6KPpl389qk
Compilation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf5dNPujyYQ
orginal APK file is here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/112060127/881b...ialer.apk.html
1. decompile and compile the same file (no change) and again shows errors...
WHY?
2. Why go to 1.apk in framework folder ??? (screen)
3. what should be in this folder?

As I wrote you via PM, it is not enough to change that value, there are 3 and you also need to adjust the shadow colors. Compilation errors are due to using a themed apk, compile with stock and then insert your needed png`s. You also need to adjust button and dialer icon colors.

No .... stock file generated the same errors. :/
look:
http://hotfile.com/dl/112066339/865f241/HtcDialer.apk.html
This is stock file. Try decompile and you see erros :/

For starters you are editing the wrong styles.xml file. The DHD you need to edit the styles.xml in /values-hdpi
My guess is you don't have the supported framework and that you are not editing a stock untouched .apk. I can't see your error messages from your youtube video.

[Q] Problem recompiling custom apks?

So I am trying to make some edits to the bools.xml which is located in the values folder which gets recompiled into the resources.arsc file and apkmanager keeps throwing errors regarding public.xml values being declared but not defined (i am using maddogin's rom and want to remove CRT animations). My question is what do I need to do to keep the errors from occurring or how do I hex edit resources.arsc to turn the CRT animations off. I have found the animatescreenlights section in my hex editor but can't figure out what values to change to make the bool "true".

I could be wrong but doesn't it have a setting to turn off Crt animation built into it?

It does, but it isn't functioning atm. I just want to know how to do this for my personal knowledge.

I know this is old, but wanted to post for future reference.
Don't use a hex editor. Just open in a regular text editor like Notepad.
Line 16 should read:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
Just change true to false:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>

[Tutorial] Decompile/Recompile APKs

Complete guide on how to Decompile/Recompile Apks with APKTOOL
This Tutorial is for Windows Only
Apktool and all .bat files outlined in this tutorial have been uploaded here for your convenience
Requirements
- 7zip / Winrar (or similar)
- Apktool - (Package link above)
Notes
- I use .bat file to make the whole process alot quicker ...
- Copying Apktool files (aapt.exe, apktool.bat, apktool.jar, baksmali.jar, zipalign.exe) into C:/windows will allow you to use the .bat files anywhere on your computer without the need for apktool in the same directory
Step 1 - First you need to install the framework files so the apktool can use them to decompile other apks in the rom that depend on the framework
- Make a text document and rename it "Install Framework.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code
Code:
CMD /K apktool if framework-res.apk
- with your framework-res.apk in the folder run the Install Framework.bat file and it should output
Code:
Framework installed to: C:\Users\USER\apktool\framework\1.apk
Step 2 - Decompiling (we will be decompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)
- First make a copy of the apk you wish to decompile and name it backup.apk (this will be used later)
- Make a text document and rename it "Decompile.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to decompile)
Code:
CMD /K apktool d framework-res.apk
- with your apk in the same folder run the Decompile.bat file and it create a folder that you can edit as you see fit
Step 3 - Recompiling (we will be Recompiling framework-res.apk in this tutorial)
- Make a text document and rename it "Compile.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)
Code:
del almostdone.apk
CMD /K apktool b framework-res almostdone.apk
- Run the Compile.bat file and it create an apk called almostdone.apk (if you get errors you most likely made a change which broke the apk)
- Open both almostdone.apk and backup with 7zip or Winrar
- Drag all the contents of almostdone.apk except for AndroidManifest.xml into backup.apk and replace existing files
- Now make a text document and rename it "Zipalign.bat"
- Edit it with a txt editor and paste in this code (replace the "framework-res.apk" with the name of the apk you wish to recompile)
Code:
del framework-res.apk
zipalign.exe -v 4 backup.apk framework-res.apk
- Run the Zipalign.bat file and it create the finished apk

Nice one :good:, but i think very few takers in our forum. I was also thinking about posting on ROM Porting, but there are many guides already out there .

yeah ... seems so.... iv'e tryed porting myself ... never got it booting ...
