[Q] Question to Themers - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello All,
If you frequently look in the themes and apps section you will know I made a theme called Black Android...but I've hit a road bump as such which is stopping it going any further.
Basically, my theme needs to have white font text or it won't match the colors of the theme I'm making. So, I decompiled the framework-res.apk from Android Revolution 2.1.2 and went into values\colors.xml. I changed the colour of Holo_Blue_Light to the white color code, compiled the APK and flashed it, the font turned white. But, here's the weird thing. I'm trying to add support for Android 4.0.3 doing EXACTLY the same thing with no changes, and the lockscreen screws up and all the apps are off by alot. So, I need your help themers of XDA. Why is it working with ARHD but NOT any other ROM? Has anyone else tried changing the font color other than me? If so, what were the results? I've asked plenty of people to test it themselves and they got the same issues as me. It seems Android Revolution HD is the only ROM that allows a font color change.
It doesn't make sense. All I am doing is changing a color of a predetermined text, from blue to white.
If you need anymore info ask.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

as far as i know, the whole framework changed on 4.0.3 ...
so you may find the new codes ... or maybe the codes belongs now also to other apk's or .jar files ...

Its not just 4.0.3. ROMs either. I tried doing it for the LTE version of ARHD and it did the same thing. Its getting alot weirder.

[THEME REQUEST] Honey HD port?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!
Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2
It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.
Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.
Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.
That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.
Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

was using this on my previous phone..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,

[Q] [Theming] Changing text colors of Mms.apk

I've searched all over this place and the web, I cannot find a concrete solution that actually works, so like the title states, I need to know how to edit the text colors of the Mms.apk (more specifically for Juggs 5.0 and Warfare).
I've checked out several of the xmls inside of it and it's not doing the trick.
I am about 97% done or something to that effect, with my next theme and after I get this down it should be good to go for first release.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

You know I'm a theme king man, and the mms.apk is the most annoying app to mod, I tried everything myself. I think some things in the styles.XML redirects back to the twframework which then redirects back to the framework-res itself.
Poke around in layout/msg_list_item.XML
On the Galaxy S Vibrant I was able to add
"Android:textcolor=ffxxxxxx" or what ever in the

I appreciate that info M&S, unfortunately I actually already tried that one :/
I read somewhere it might refer back to framework-res styles somehow but not sure how to change that...

In Values>Colors theirs a way to change the color of the timestamp. Just change the hex code of the first line I think. Never tried it though xD

Nope...not it, that's the timestamp as in the time under the message text

The color is set in twframework-res.apk\res\values\colors.xml it's "tw_color002" The only problem is that this also controls the color to a handful of other things... Still trying to find what xml in the mms.apk calls on tw_color002.

Themes & System Colors

Still new with Android, but have a question. How do I change the dialpad colors?
Whose idea was it to put blue numbers on a black background and expect it to be read in sunshine?
Any simple way to change this?
Just found out that JB is the same, but no themes yet.
umm, well I assume you have stock... if your not rooted all you can hope for is a theme or a dialer app in the market, if you are rooted you can unpack the apk and theme it the way you like (or ask someone to do it for you) or try another rom with colors you prefer
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do have root and have tried numerous roms. Found a solution of sorts with a new dialpad app. I've got a lot to learn af far as this stuff goes.

Yea, ive searched for like 3 hours and didnt find it, yet it was right here. Sorry im inexperienced, and many thanks to you sir.
However is there a way to edit those background colors, its a bit too dark for me.

I'm going to turn this thread in to a tutorial instead, given the number of downloads and thanks received it's not really worth the effort these days of modding and testing which is twice the work for me as I theme them to suit my own theme too.

To change apps from light to dark you need to edit the styles.xml in the values folder of whatever app you want to mod, decompile one of mine and compare it to your stock and that will be your starting point, the rest is usually in the layouts folder and/or pngs to suit. There's a few links in my APK Modding & Theming Thread that will help too.

I dont had a look at it, but im sure that exists a thread here with it. Im not sure it teaches, but surely is a change in the framework files (not sure if its just the apk)

There does exist a thread where a guy has posted NOTE 3 water colour effect but.......ge hasn't taught how to port it. I know something has to be changed in framework but I have no idea ,what has to changed and where. That's why I asked you regarding that.

Im downloading the fix you said for s3, will try to figure it out what must be done, but expect not much as im no developer
Maybe the porter (@Arsaw) answer you more clearly
Edit: after a fast look, you need to mod framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar plus another Files pushed to media/audio/ui and a permission file in etc/permissions.
Contact the original dev to have more further assistence

Brother ..... lol.....u can't even imagine how many times did I ask not even him but also many others on how to port Water colour effect but none of them responded. Idk why the guides *HOW-TO* are getting more and more less on xda. People are not giving them any more attention.
Coming towards the files which are needed to mod. I know which files are to be modded but I don't know what has to be modded inside them. Like in framework idk after decompiling what I have to do.
Hope you got what I mean.

I imagined you've already tried to contact them.. And yes, i do understand what you mean. I have disassembled android.policy.jar using THIS. I think you need to disassemble your original one and place some files of the modded one, the files i think will do the trick are below (in disassembled android.policy.jar):
** in com\android\internal\policy\impl\keyguard\sec
all the "WaterColorRenderer" ones
inkeffect folder
all the "LensFlareView" ones for lens flare
** the one hand ones are suposed to be in com\android\internal\policy\impl\sec
Maybe that do the trick, you can try this, recompile (in that tutorial have this part too) and push it to your phone. If you don't get a bootloop, probably the thing left to mod is framework-res, but this one i don't know what to do - yet
Some things i still don't know:
- how do the options appear in the lockscreen effect options menu
- i think its not in framework-res, because yesterday i messed up with my rom, replaced framework-res with one that hasn't light effect but the option was still there. But when i selected it, got bootloop
I want to figure it out too, if you made a progress, please let me know

Brothet thanks for your support and concern. Well there is much more to place in android.policy.jar and in framework as well. This would take us ages to figure out what has to be done in order to get water colour effect. Only the developers can tell us.
brother I already contacted arsaw but couldn't get any response. Can you ask him maybe he may respond you.
Thanks once again.
Added universal version, intended to work on every i9305 4.3 roms. Please test and give feedback.
Here is a pair of screenshots of my i9305 running TGP 16.01 with your theme. It also has the S5 fonts, Note 3 keyboards, sounds, bootanimation, and themed sms app and S5 launcher. It works flawlessly!
If I could I would make a whole update package.
